7 Page 6A THE BATTALION FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1981 State I: Fast banking United Press International LUBBOCK — Mayor Bill McAllister got the ride of his life Thursday on a high-spirited horse that bolted and ran during an attempt to demonstrate the versa tility of an automated teller machine. The horse was uncooperative from the start, delaying the sche duled demonstration while the crowd of city dignitaries waited for it to “finish its business” in the parking lot. “It took forever,” said First Federal Savings president Charlie Pope. Its business complete, the horse, with the mayor on board, then bolted and ran toward the teller machine, which was located under a low-hanging roof. “I thought it was going to cut the mayor’s head off,” Pope said “but he ducked and the horse took him around the corner.” Several spectators and city councilmen gave chase, hoping to save the mayor from the runaway ■ mare. But a mysterious masked rider — actually the Texas Tech Red Raider’s mounted mascot — hap pened to be waiting for the mayor around the comer. The unknown rider intercepted the pair, stop ping the horse’s run. McAllister refused to give up and calmed the horse enough to make a transaction at the teller machine. He was soon followed by other mobile banking customers, including one on a unicycle and another on a skateboard.

The investigation reportedly focuses on whether the five com missioners, who manage 12,700 res of land for Washington County schools, violated Texas law when it awarded a grazing lease to Hanie Ivey of San Angelo. Ivey was awarded the seven- year lease for $433,000. San Saba Mayor Jack Miller said he bid more for the land. The land near San Angelo is reportedly worth $12 million to $20 million on the open market. State District Judge John Placke extended the jury’s term 90 days beyond its Aug. 31 expiration date at the request of prosecutors who said the inquiry was not com plete. District Attorney Charles Sebesta Jr. said the inquiry will be finished by the end of September. “This is not particularly dire cted at any one person,” he said. “Understand, there are four(m missioners and a county judge an | a county attorney. There ai school boards. There are biddei and any number of peo volved.” aki County Judge Gus Mutsck chairman of the commissione r Biu ' court, has reportedly blasted4 inquiry as politically motivated Mutscher was elected coml judge Lifter he completed pro tion for a felony conviction charges he accepted a bribe Atolosi: he was Texas House Speak■bav 1970.

Jose Raymos Sr. and his sons, Jose Jr. and Omar, appeared be fore the grand jury Wednesday. The three men were arrested five years ago in Concordia Parish where Rusty Griffith was killed. The grand jury already has in dicted five persons on charges of violating the civil rights of Grif fith, who was shot to death after being connected to the Leslie kill ing. The jury also is investigating an international heavy equipment theft ring that apparently was tied to both murders. 3, Je, Authorities said the mei'i alleged involvement in the the ssmj ring was a motive for the murde j fo 1 hut they were released two h P' c after their arrest because of ah as( ‘ !> of evidence.

Clements and White continue battle over windfall profits tax Fared 6s wi S Ang< United Press International AUSTIN — Although the Texas Energy and Natural Resources Advisory Council meeting was cal led to discuss the Windfall Profits Tax, it became an arena for the longstanding dispute between the state’s governor and attorney gen eral. Relations have been tense for some time between council chair man Gov. Bill Clements and Democratic Attorney General Mark White, with both men ex changing letters critical of the other’s performance. Thursday the two argued over White’s resolution expressing TENRAC’s continued opposition to the Windfall Profits Tax and stating the organization’s support of congressional efforts to repeal the tax. TENRAC member Michel Hal- bouty, a Houston oilman, lashed out at White, saying his resolution left the impression the panel had ignored the problem in the past. On the contrary, Halbouty said, White had failed to act on the ori ginal resolution calling upon him to file suit. A suit challenging the tax has been filed in federal court in Wyoming and last month the court allowed Texas to intervene in the suit on the side of the plain tiffs. Yel lln A battle of semantics betiveei White, Clements and HalM 1 ‘yha\ then ensued over whether Clfr ment’s initial resolution contaiw stronger language than Whites The issue was eventually re solved by incorporating from both, but not before Cle ments had the final word “I think you have acted ver slowly, ’’ Clements said. “Youha'i dilly-dallied around for months. So 18 months later we ^ some action.’’ Resolutions passed by theco® lwh f cil have no legal effect, ally are used to express the state position on issues to federal® thorities.
