Judge lets state withdraw
charges in prison study
United Press International
HOUSTON — A federal
judge Monday granted the
state’s motion to withdraw alle
gations that a special master
appointed to oversee changes in
Texas prisons was overstepping
his bounds and causing trouble.
U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice then adjourned
until at least April 15 a hearing
on Special Master Vincent
Nathan’s complaints the prisons
had not done away with a system
giving inmates authority.
Justice, who said the abuses
“seemingly” still exist, ordered
lawyers to settle the issue by
April 14 or the hearing would
resume April 15.
The Texas Department of
Corrections, which oversees the
largest prison system in the
country, has been at odds with
Nathan, a Toledo, Ohio, lawyer
since Justice appointed him fol
lowing a 1980 order mandating
protection of prisoners’ civil
rights.
Justice called the state’s attack
since then an “unseemly cam
paign of vilification” against the
special master as well as the
court.
“Hopefully, today’s action by
the defendants will provide
more than a temporary respite
from this behavior,” he said.
“It is most disturbing to
learn that inmates about
whom this court made
express findings of
abuse of authority are
still seemingly function
ing as building tenders, ”
— U.S. District fudge
William Wayne J ustice.
“This development gives me
some encouragement that the
parties will begin to communi
cate in a meaningful and profes
sional manner.”
Justice ruled the state cannot
refile the motion without new
information.
“While the history of this case
prevents me from being over
“It seems to me that rich people have an uncanny
ability to take care of themselves. The people
needing representation in government are those
people who aren’t rich, and who in many in
stances can’t take care of themselves. The inter
est of these poor people should be one of the pri
mary concerns of a person elected to Congress.”
John Olin Teague
Announcement address
That did it. When you take the side of working people, farmers,
the elderly and the poor, the big-city fat cats don’t give you huge
campaign donations ... they give money to your opponent. John
Olin Teague wants to go to Congress. For the good of all the
people of the 6th District, Teague must go to Congress. Teague
needs your help and he needs it NOW.
taken by optimism,” he said, “I
nonetheless regard the with
drawal of the motion seeking
dissolution of the mastership as
promising.”
The state had moved that
Nathan be suspended, and Jus
tice had combined a hearing on
that motion with Nathan’s alle
gations TDC was not complying
with an order to eliminate in
mates serving as building-
tenders.
Justice had heard testimony
the past two weeks during which
inmate after inmate said the
building-tender system was still
in effect. Justice indicated he
was convinced it was.
“The evidence, although ob
viously incomplete, suggests
that the defendants have only
recently begun to take any affir
mative measures to effect com
pliance,” Justice said. “It is most
disturbing to learn that inmates
about whom this court made ex
press findings of abuse of au
thority are still seemingly func
tioning as building tenders.”
The state’s motion Monday
came as the costly hearing was
beginning its third week. Cm.
Bill Clements said Friday the
proceedings were getting too
costly to continue.
Rick Grey, executive assistant
to the Texas attorney general,
said withdrawal of the motion
did not concede that the allega
tions against Nathan were
groundless.
The state had among other
things charged Nathan’s moni
tors in the prisons knew of
weapons being kept by prisoners
and did not tell authorities. In
testimony, inmates said TDC
guards knew of the weaponsand
allowed them to keep them as
part of the system.
Nathan ref used comment al
ter the court session.
Court will decide
if homes must go
to pay tax debts
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
Supreme Court agreed Monday
to decide whether the govern
ment can force a married couple
to sell their home to pay off taxes
owed by only one of the spouses.
The justices next fall will re
view a ruling prohibiting the In
ternal Revenue Service from
foreclosing on homes to satisfy
one spouse’s back taxes in states
with homestead laws.
The homestead laws involved
in the case give both a husband
and wife full legal interest in
their residence.
Because of protections pro
vided by such homestead laws,
the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans ruled
the IRS could not force two Dal
las women to sell their homes to
satisfy their husbands’ tax debts.
One husband died leaving
$927,000 in unpaid federal
taxes and penalties. In the other
case, the couple was divorced,
and the husband owed $9,000in!

the women owed any delinqueni
taxes. '
