Ma Bell objects to wiretap bill
United Press International
AUSTIN — Responding to the tele
phone company’s request that the new
Texas wiretap law be considered for revi
sion in a special session of the Legislature,
some lawmakers contend the entire law
could be jeopardized.
Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. ob
jects to a provision requiring that telephone
company employees involved in wiretaps
prove they were acting in accordance with a
valid court order. It has asked Gov. Bill
Clements to allow the special session con
vening Monday to revise the statute.
The telephone company wants the law
changed to provide that prosecutors in cri
minal cases involving telephone company
employees would have to prove the em
ployees were not acting under court orders
when they installed the wiretaps.
The wiretap bill was passed during the
regular session which ended June 1. It
takes effect Sept. 1.
Some legislators contend that if Cle
ments opens the special session for con
sideration of the change requested by Bell,
he may be jeopardizing the wiretap law
because it would then be subject to other
amendments or repeal.
“I think when you open up that subject
matter, you open the whole thing up,” said
Rep. Lynn Nabers, D-Brownwood, chair
man of the House committee that handled
the wiretap bill.
“I don’t think the governor wants
another bite at that apple,” he said
Tuesday.
Sen. Bob Glasgow, D-Stephenville, who
authored the provision, said he will oppose
efforts by the telephone company to revise
it.
“The important thing about the wiretap
bill that everybody has overlooked is that it
makes it illegal for anyone except the Texas
Department of Public Safety to possess
wiretap equipment, ” Glasgow said. “It gets
all that stuff out of the hands of private
people.”
But Southwestern Bell officials are
quietly lobbying legislative leaders for revi
sion of the wiretap bill, and Nabers said a
Bell lobbyists has made an appointment to
meet with him Wednesday.
Clements, who is vacationing in Virginia
this week, has given no indication he will
submit the issue to the session and risk
further changes in the bill that legalizes the
use of court approved wiretaps in drug in
vestigations.
Dallas ball player, 2 mo
face charges for swindlh
United Press International
HOUSTON — A former Dallas Cowboys football
player and two other men charged in an alleged $8
million swindle using non-existent government-
backed student loans were the victims of a dead man,
a defense attorney claimed.
Lawyer James C. Moore said Tuesday he will
show the three men are not guilty. He said they were
victims of Arbab Kahn, whose body was found in the
Brazos River west of Houston one week before he
was to testify before the grand jury that eventually
indicted the three defendants. He was shot in the
chest.
Kahn was a metals broker and Houston jetsetter
who had extensive dealings with the now-bankrupt
First Financial Group of Texas Inc. set up by the
defendants in 1977.
Facing fraud charges are former Cowboy
H. Howton, 50, his business partner Viniiif
Reynolds Jr., 39, both of Houston, and Lam
50, a Memphis, Tenn., securities salesmai
The defendants are accused ofsellingnoot
government-insured student loans thro®
Financial Group, victimizing the University
sburgh. Blue Cross of Florida and banksm
ance firms in several states.
Investigators said Kahn and Howton nu
quent trips to Grand Cayman Island, leading;
believe some of the money reaped from tie
scheme may be hidden in bank accounts
by strict bank secrecy laws.

Carter criticizes Reagan s administration
-TTrrrra n 11 m m i i irrrrrx
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter has
sharply criticized the Reagan administra
tion for pursuing “misguided and radical”
environmental policies.
The former president also faulted
Reagan for being unwilling to open arms
control talks with the Soviet Union — a
stand he said gives the Kremlin a propagan
da weapon.
Carter said he was not as concerned
about the administration’s budget battles
although the cuts will hurt students, far
mers, the aged and the marginally em
ployed and raise the possibility of new,
highly regressive property and sales taxes.
In his most outspoken criticism yet of his
successor. Carter spelled out his views in a
letter to his former Cabinet and senior staff
members this week. United Press Interna
tional obtained a copy.
Carter said:
—“I have to admit the budget battles
have not concerned me quite so much as
the subjects which were outlined in my
‘farewell’ address”— the environment, hu
man rights and nuclear arms control— but
many cuts are “ill-advised.”
—“The misguided and radical new poli
cies of the Department of Interior are a
serious threat to the future of our nation,
condemned almost unanimously — in the
East and the West — by those who are
dedicated to the proper stewardship of our
nation’s natural resources.”
—Recent attacks on Jacobo Timmer
man, a former political prisoner in Argenti
na, within America’s U.N. delegation
“were almost unbelievable. I am afraid they
reflect a widespread and general attitude in
the new administration.”
—“We will surely weaken the Atlantic
alliance and severely damage our own
reputation as a peace-loving people if we let
the Soviet leaders retain the unwarranted
but important propaganda advantage they
have derived from our unwillingness, for
the first time since Harry Truman, to seek
nuclear arms controls through negotia
tion.”
Carter said he and wife Rosalynn are
planning a trip to China and Japan in late
August and early September and expect to
be in Atlanta more often in the months
ahead as they finish writing their books.
Summing up his views on other matters.
Carter said: “I certainly hope the recent
hard-won respite from oil-price increases
will not become an excuse to depart from
our conservation policies, that our formerly

Catholics raffle house for $10 a chance
United Press International
NORTH AURORA, ILL. — Would you buy a used three bedroom
house with two-car garage for $10 — that’s right, 1,000 pennies — from
a man of the cloth who calls himself “Father Right?”
It’s no shady deal. If this Roman Catholic priest tells you the faucets
don’t leak and the floors don’t creak, you can believe him. He’ll swear
to it on a stack of Bibles and his “boss” doesn t go for even the smallest
of white lies.
The Rev. Edward S. Wright, pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church,
has outgrown the comfortable brick home. Instead of putting it on the
