In other political news, Jim Mattox has been accused of lying about his political ex perience by Republican attor ney general candidate Bill Meier. Meier said Mattox has nev er tried a single district court jury trial and had only two dis trict court trials in 12 years. “Jim Mattox has very li mited legal experience,” Meier said. “He hasn’t prac ticed law for six years.” In the race for land com missioner, Republican candi date Woody Glasscock of Hondo said his Democratic opponent, Garry Mauro, is not seeking the post for the sake of the office, but as a springboard to future politic al races. “He’s using this purely as a base,” Glasscock said. “Why else would he run for land commissioner? He doesn’t know anything about oil and gas.” Secret tapes don’t worry murder-for-hire witness United Press International SAN ANTONIO — A witness in the Federal Judge John H. Wood slaying trial testified Tuesday she learned about two weeks ago that her estranged husband recorded their conver sations in the bedroom, car and elsewhere to help the FBI. But Teresa Starr, 25, the stepdaughter of accused hitman Charles Harrelson, said she was not concerned about the tape- recordings made by her estranged husband, Michaeljas- per. She was cross-examined Tuesday by attorneys for her mother, Jo Ann Harrelson, and Harrelson, who is also on trial. “I knew I hadn’t said any thing to him. I did not trust my husband or anybody else,” Starr said. She left Jasper the same day her parents asked her to go to Las Vegas for them in June 1979, after Wood’s slaying in May 1979. The recordings were made in early 1980 when Starr returned to her husband in Dal las for a few weeks. Officials said Jasper was asked by investiga tors to tape his wife’s conversa tions and agreed. Starr said she obeyed the Har- relsons’ instructions not to tell anyone about her Las Vegas trip until she had been jailed for six months for refusing to testify to a grand jury. Prosecutors say the $250,000 she picked up in Las Vegas and delivered to the Harrelsons was Harrelson’s payoff for killing Wood, but Starr said she still does not know whether that is true. “I still don’t know anything about the judge’s death,” she said. Her testimony came after a long weekend break granted by Federal Judge William Sessions to allow defense lawyers time to review 60 hours of wiretapped telephone conversations be tween Starr and Jasper, and a videotape of her FBI interview under hypnosis. lark asked to extend deadline for eviction parent. rime ■ the head of Mountain National Park asking folk officials why they cannot allow a woman to keep open a afe that has been in her family for 54 years. ■Although the park service is ! \ 1 A 1 APVr er no °blig a tion to agree, a J L/ UU®ts en a id e sa ' c * l le vvas opti- 1 r iistic after a talk with Park Su- JBintendent Bill Dunmeyer f ^ t^rPM® Mary Hinson, 67. will not ^ ^ A Aw V Ry c t0 i eave at 5 p. m .

However, the park service is under no legal obligation to grant the five-year extension Hinson’s friends are hoping for, he said. “Please advise me in view of the long-standing presence of the Glover family and its place in the regional cultural fabric what would prevent such a reasonable extension of the occupation of the property,” Bentsen’s letter to Dunmeyer said. Hinson’s father and mother won a brief legal battle to remain on the land for the remainder of their lives when Guadalupe Mountain National Park was created 12 years ago. At the time, 76,000 acres around the Glover homestead were purch ased. Hinson returned to Texas from Arkansas to help care for the couple two years later. Her father, Walter Glover, died in 1973 at age 91 and her mother, Bertha Glover, 89, died last month, giving the park legal right to reclaim the last of the Glover homestead. The park service ordered Hinson to leave the gasoline- and-food outlet Oct. 15, but af ter an appeal, it extended the deadline to Dec. 31. The final decision on Hin son’s store rests with the park service’s regional office in Santa Fe, N.M. r s I l l I 1 State employee morale up ® # # JL y see vsw A t > despite insurance complaints Introductory Special Come in and meet Mike, Janie, Carol, Brenda and Rick and when you do you can get a Free Perm with the purchase of an 18 50 cut and style.
