state / national Battalion/Page 6 March 23, 1982 Court refuses review of unborn children suit United Press International WASHINGTON — The Sup reme Court on Monday refused to review an appeal by an abor tion opponent in Houston, who claims he represents a class of “unborn children." Attorney Richard Schmude said he will request another hearing on the case. Schmude represents two anti-abortion doctors, two anti-abortion tax payers and the unborn children. Schmude filed suit in 1979 arguing that fetuses have consti tutional rights that are violated by abortions. He said he also represented the fetuses’ post abortion rights. In his suit, Schmude deman ded medical officials in the Houston area stop abortions at facilities receiving government funds. “This case also involved the experimentation on live-born aborted fetuses,” Schmude said. Schmude said he had Right now, you’re probably in a career frenzy. Who wouldn’t be with so many options, so many people giving you well- intentioned advice.

He wants them — 20,()()() of them — dead and frozen. “I’ve got some buyers in Flor ida and Louisiana who want ab out 5,000 for research,” Wal lace, owner of D&rW Fur Co., said. The rest of them will be used for purses and other products, he said. To get his supply of armadil los, Wallace advertised in 125 newspapers in central Texas announcing the Lone Star Armadillo Round-up until Mav 1. The animals have to be frozen, unskinned and ungut ted. For an average size armadil lo, D&W will pay about S2.50. In addition, Wallace said the per son selling the company the most armadillos will receive $250. “We’ve bought about 4,000of them so far,” he said. “It looks like we’ll get our goal.” He’s also hoping to collect a lot of the animals at the Laredo Frontier Days, May 13-16. He is helping organize an armadillo round-up to accompany the rat tlesnake round-up held at last year’s Frontier Days. Fhe armadillo, a shy, squatty animal, has no natural enemies — including the fast-traveling vehicles on the state’s highways. “Yeah, I figure a few of those we’ve bought were less skill trap ping and more a matter of stop ping on the highway somewhere to pick one up,” he said. “We don’t care how they get them, as long as it’s not mashed up.” Wallace said the round-ups he’s had for the past 12 years do not threaten the survival of the armadillo, but enhance the spe cies. “We limit the round-up to a few months each year,” he said. “We’re harvesting them. We’ve been doing it for 12 years and they’re still around in plenty of numbers. The trapper benefits from it because he gets the cash m-ney. And we’re not doing it for the sport of killing. We use every part of the armadillo, The animal has becom symbol of Texas chic in rat years, but Wallace has noted significant increase forarmai lo products.

Misbranded produce eyed United Press International WASHINGTON — The Agriculture Department on Monday stepped up spot checks to discover imported produce that is misbranded to make it appear it was grown in the Un ited States. The policy followed reports that some firms are buying or re-packing imported produce in misbranded containers. Some domestic producers of produce, such as tomato grow ers, have advocated legislation to require imported packages be identified, but federal law that governs produce sales does not require listing of origin, grade, weight, count or size on pack ages. II such information does appear, however, it must be accurate. Misleading informa tion is regarded as an unfair trade practice and can result in actions against produce firms licensed by the government, officials said. Assistant Agriculture Secret ary C.W. McMillan said recent checks at shipping points and terminal markets have turned up evidence of imported pro duce marketed in containers marked “Produce of U.S.A,” “Idaho” — origin of an ican potato — or other misltf ing markings. He also said spot checksk shown that some foreign bu' are using U.S. business addi ses or firm names that buyers to believe the impi products originated in the ited States. “U.S. firms that ship, sel offer for sale goods receive* interstate or foreign cOtnnK are responsible for the inte| of the markings and content the container,” McMillan s| MSC TOUIN HALL presents ONNIE ILSAF 8:00 p.m. UJ€DN€SDflV MARCH 31 G.
