Sen. Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas, originally offered legislation that would have required police officers to adhere to the same legal demands for use of a pen register as are required for the use of a telephone wiretap. “With one simple addition a tape recorder can be plugged into that device (the pen regis ter), and every word you say is recorded.” But an amendment by Sen. John Montford, D-Lubbock, which makes it easier for the De partment of Public Safety or a district attorney to use a pen re gister won approval on the Sen ate floor Wednesday. Under Montford’s amend ment, pen registers could be used for investigating any offense. Only elected district attorneys and the director of the DPS could apply for a pen regis ter permit. Mauzy proposed that only the nine judges given power to grant wiretaps would be able to grant the permits. He also wanted the use of pen registers confined to drug cases where ther was probable cause that a crime already had been com- mited. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled registers do not constitute an invasion of privacy. His amendment specified that any district court judge could grant permission to use a pen register when the informa tion gained through the register would be material to an investi gation and as long as it was to be used within his jurisdiction. Driver hits house, kills one in possible suicide attempt United Press International SAN ANTONIO —A drunk en driver, in an apparent suicide attempt, lost control of her car on a rain-slickened freeway and crashed into a house, killing a nine-month-old infant sleeping in the bedroom, police said. The car was traveling at a high rate of speed at about 10 p.m. Wednesday when it ran off Interstate 10, went through a chain link fence and struck the house, just off the access road about 50 yards from the highway. A police spokesman said the driver, Cleo Longoria, 35, was incoherent after the crash and said she was trying to commit suicide. “She made a statement along those lines, but we don’t have anything else yet,” the spokes man said. Longoria, who received minor injuries, was charged with driving while intoxicated and in voluntary manslaughter. Her bond was set at $10,000. Pierre Orlanda Garza was dead on arrival at Medical Cen ter Hospital. His mother, Alicia Garza, was listed in stable condi tion. * * * * * AARRGHH!

Mark White said he never knew he was taking on the entire Republican establish ment. White was asked to comment on reports that a White House aide discussed timing the issuance of EPA Superfund grants to boost the campaigns of several Republican candidates, including former Gov. Bill Cle ments. “I just thought I was running against one Republican,” White said in a news conference Wednesday. “I didn't know I was running against the entire Republican establishment. That should never be condoned by any administration.” Clements has said he knew nothing of the alleged plan to politicize the EPA funding. “That’s what I would have said,” White remarked about the Clements denial. “They’re (the EPA) playing games in several areas up there. I want to see the hazardous waste funds coming to Texas. “It seems they were very effectively flowing those funds down here before November,” White said. rAtllJ [dgiailt^Stdal presents: 'HYPNOSIS FEARS, FALLACIES, FACTS by Bill McKay — Law Enforcement & Security Training Division, (Texa-s A&M University) Rudder, Rm. 302 Sunday March 27, 1983 2:00-4:00 p.m. $2 Nonmembers $1 Members Pay admission at the door.
