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

documented proof that one
abortion victim hatl parts of his
body removed, his heart punc
tured and was placed in an un
heated incubator to die.
“This was a United States
citizen and his rights were
violated,” Schmude said.
“This is what abortion leads
to.”
Named as plaintiffs in the
case were Drs. Rebecca
Schwanecke and Margit M. Win-
strom and taxpayers Nancy
Brecheisen and Bonnie B.
Duesing.
Schmude said no organiza
tion is named in the case,
although he is legal counsel for
Life Advocates Inc., an anti
abortion group in Houston.
The case, f irst filed in Octo
ber 1979, was thrown out of
state court.
Schmude appealed at the
state level, but requested Sup
reme Court intervention when
he said he was notif ied that an
experiment on a 23-week-old
fetus had been conducted on
July 3 at Jef ferson Davis Hospit
al, a county operated facility.

CULPEPPER PLAZA
United Press International
H ALLETSVILLE - While
most Texans see armadillos as a
native novelty, Bill Wallace sees
them as revenue.
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

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

products originated in the
ited States.
“U.S. firms that ship, sel
