Bill allows policemens’
use of pen registers
United Press International
AUSTIN — District attorneys
and state police officers will be
allowed to use pen registers —
devices used to record tele
phone numbers dialed from a
phone — in an amended version
of a bill controlling their use.
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.

EPA f unding use discussed
White comments on G0P e ^
United Press International
AUSTIN — Responding to
reports that the Republican Par
ty tried to use Environmental
Protection Agency funds to in
fluence the Texas governor’s
race, Gov. 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.
