“It sounds like the dying gasp
of a losing candidate.”
“The information in the
letter is complete nonsense,
except as a piece of political
propaganda,” said Francis.
“The letter begins, ‘Dear Fel
low Veteran’ and ends with a
campaign speech.”
The letter was written by
White last Wednesday and
distributed by the attorney
general’s office to inform
veterans that documents ab
out the use of Agent Orange,
a toxic defoliant used in
Southeast Asia, would be re
leased by the Air Force in
November and December.
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.

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.

hat is the future of private enterprise? Can we “defederalize” the American economy? Is free enterprise the major source of
economic development and social progress in the years ahead? How can our colleges and universities contribute to the economic well
being of our nation?
TPhese are some of the key issues that will be addressed in the lecture series, “Taming Leviathan: Defederalizing the American
Economy.” Drawing on the expertise of dynamic individuals known for stimulating creative changes in public policy, a forum will be
provided at Texas A&M University to more closely address these and other issues.
