United Press International
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — Two
iresentatives and a former rep-
;entative announced the forma-
n of the Sun Belt Research
alition to counteract what they
led the dominance of northern
tes in Congress.
Representatives Beryl
Anthony, D-Ark., and Charles
Wilson, D-Tex., and former Rep.
John Buchanan, R-Ala.,
announced the formation of the
group Monday at a state Chamber
of Commerce and Associated In
dustries of Arkansas meeting in
Hot Springs.
The three men said the idea
behind the coalition is to dispel
erroneous public perceptions of
the South created by members of
the Northeast-Midwest coalition.
Such misperceptions have en
abled the coalitions from other
areas to tilt federal fund-
distribution formulas in their
favor, they said.

The Sun Belt Council is made
up of representatives from each of
the 16 Sun Belt states, including
Texas.
“For years, the Midwest and
northeastern states have gotten a
disproportionate share of the na
tional income,” Anthony said.
“There’s been a drain of federal
dollars into the Frost Belt states.”
Wilson said northern congress
men “are operating under the
myth that we in the Sun Belt are
rich and prosperous and only the
North and East are suffering eco
nomic hardship and need federal
aid.”

Anthony said an example of
northern domination of Congress
was the recent revision of federal
policy on granting government
contracts.

“It used to be that contracts
would have to be based strictly on
merit and price,” he said. “Now,
with the new amendment, the
level of unemployment in a region
can be taken into consideration.
“So even if an Arkansas com
pany is the lowest bidder, a com
pany in Detroit can get the con
tract if the unemployment rate
there is higher. This leaves a lot of
room for political maneuvering. ”
Another example of the con
gressional tilt toward the North is
the block grant system of federal
funding implemented by Presi
dent Reagan, the congressmen
said. Since the block grants would
distribute funds according to
population more than per capita
income, Anthony said, the more
populous northern states could re
ceive more federal aid than the
South, even though the average
income level in the Sun Belt is
below the national average.
Anthony, Wilson and Buchanan
said the research coalition will be a
private entity separate from the
Congressional Sun Belt Council,
of which Buchanan is executive di
rector. However, members of tk
council will be automatically!®
idered members of the coalition,
they said.
The new coalition plans to seel
contributions from corporations
and individuals. Wilson said the
funds would be a matter of public
record.
Buchanan said the coalition
hopes to raise about $600,000for
its first year of operation.
Members of the council are
from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi
New Mexico, North Carolina.
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Ten

Motions to dismiss
perjury charge filed
United Press International
AUSTIN — Attorneys repre
senting Rep. Mike Martin, R-
Longview, on charges of aggra
vated perjury have filed pre-trial
motions requesting that the
charges be dismissed because of
technical faults in his indictment.
Martin is accused of lying to a
Travis County Grand Jury when
he said that he did not plan and
stage his own shooting July 31 in
an Austin trailer park.
Police said that Martin and his
cousin, Charles Goff, staged the
shooting to gain publicity and
further Martin s chances of win
ning a Senate seat.
Martin originally said the
shooting was the work of a satanic
cult and later blamed the incident
on “Gregg County politics.”
In his motion to dismiss Mar
tin’s indictment, attorney Ken
neth Houp Jr. said the oath given
to Martin before he testified was
defective because it was adminis
tered by former Assistant District
Attorney Allen Hill.
Houp said the oath could be
given by Hill only with the desig
nation of the grand jury foreman.
Since the foreman did not specific
ally grant the designation, Mar
tin’s testimony was unlawfully
gathered, the motion said.
In a separate motion to suppress
Martin’s grand jury testimony,
Houp argued that although Mar
tin requested a lawyer during his
testimony, the questioning con
tinued — a violation of his consti
tutional rights.
The motion also contends that
any offense committed by Martin
resulted from entrapment by the
state.
Bill Williams, the assistant dis
trict attorney prosecuting Martin
said the entrapment allegation is
intriguing and said a similar de
fense was used by former state
Supreme Court Justice Don Yar
brough. Yarbrough was eventnal-
ly convicted of perjury.
Motions filed by Marlins
lawyers also say the indictmentis
defective because it doesnotspe
cifically state that Martin knew of
the official nature of the proceed
ings.
Rulings on the pre-trial motions
in the case were set for Nov. 5, but
both sides have agreed to a delay
because Frank Maloney, Martins
principal attorney, is involved in
another case in federal court.
District Judge Mace Thurmot
is expected to rule on Martin smo-
tions when a new date is setfortbe
pre-trial hearing.
