HOUSTON — The sixth air
traffic controller fired in con
nection with the nationwide Au
gust 1981 walkout has been con
victed of illegally striking against
the government, and his lawyer
said he will appeal on the basis of
selective prosecution.
A federal court jury took 45
minutes deliberation Wednes
day to find Richard Hoover, 50,
former president of the Profes
sional Air Traffic Controllers
Organization’s Houston Local
422, guilty of the federal misde
meanor charge.
U.S. District Judge George
Cire scheduled sentencing for
June 20. Hoover, who claimed
he technically was not on strike
and never led anybody else to
strike, could receive up to a year
and a day in jail and a $1,000
fine.
Currently unemployed and
living in Magnolia, Hoover was
one of three Houston control
lers arrested Aug. 6, 1981.
Charges against the other two
were dismissed, but Hoover’s

grounds it was not a strike but a
“job action” based on working
conditions.
“Hoover doesn’t have the
courage or the fortitude to
admit he was out on strike,”
Brown said.
Defense lawyer Mike Brady
said he will ask Cire for a new
trial and if that motion is denied
will appeal to the 5th U.S. Cir

In final arguments to thejury,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike
Brown urged the panel to reject
Hoover’s claim of innocence on
Orleans on several grounds.
“They will include the issue of
unconstitutional selective pro
secution,” Brady said.

HOUSTON — Winnie Neck-
er says unidentified motorcyc
lists broke through a pasture
fence and chased her daughter’s
prize-winning cattle, which left
the field and were struck by a
pickup truck.
Necker had to shoot the
yearling bull and a prize
winning heifer after the incident
Sunday. 14-year-old Elizabeth
Necker held tightly to the heifer
before the two animals were shot
to put them out of their misery.
“I told Elizabeth, ‘She’s hurt,
honey. We have to do it.’ She
cried and said, ‘OK, mama.’ It
was just like shooting one of my
kids when I killed those calves,”
said Necker.
The heifer, named Ashacres
Sleeping Stylish, won third place
out of 45 entries in the yearling
heifer competition at the Hous
ton Livestock Show and Rodeo
this year.
Elizabeth, who her mother
said is slightly mentally re
tarded, used $400 in winnings in
the Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo calf scramble last
year to buy the heifer. She was
the first girl to grab a calf in the
1982 scramble.
The heifer was bred Pli
April and was expectediiB’t
