■ AUSTIN — A grand jury
investigation of Attorney
General Jim Mattox enters its
fourth week Tuesday, but
time restraints may prevent
the panel from expanding its
inquiry to cover new allega
tions of wrongdoing by the
State’s beleagured chief legal
officer.
I No witnesses were sub-
'poenaed for today’s grand
jury session, but Travis Coun
ty District Attorney Ronnie
Earle said the panel would
continue to review reports
’that Mattox misrepresented
the source of a $ 125,000 cam
paign loan and threatened the
Dond business of Houston-
ggased law firm Fulbright &
Jaworski.
1 More recent allegations of
improper conduct by Mattox
have arisen since the grand
jury probe began, but Earle
■said Monday he was unsure
whether the new reports
gould be presented to the
,rand jury.
“It’s a matter of available
time and available people,”
Earle said. “The problem is
there are a number of allega
tions floating around and
there are only limited num
bers of people and hours in

the day to investigate those
allegations.”
Earle said he expected to
day to resolve an impasse over
which of Mattox’s telephone,
appointment and travel re
cords can be presented to the
grandjury. Mattox’s attorneys
contend the documents are
privileged information be
tween Mattox and his clients
and, therefore, should not be
subject to study.
The attorney general Mon
day defended his actions in
the most recently reported in
cident involving his interven
tion in a $1.4 million Texas
Southern University con
struction project.
TSU officials said a con
tract for artificial turf had
been awarded in March to the
second-lowest bidder without
initial objection from Mattox.
Mattox said the low-bidder
— Superturf International,
headed by N.W. Paschal, a
longtime Mattox supporter
who contributed $5,000 to his
campaign last fall — called la
ter to complain about the bid
specifications and convinced
him to intervene.
Tree spared by corporate decision
United Press International
SPRING — Leonard and
Laura Woods have kind words
for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.
because of a corporate decision
to reroute a gas pipeline rather
than cut down a 100-year-old
black walnut tree.
“I was just amazed,” Woods
said. “Just flabbergasted that a
big corporation would be so
cooperative with grass-roots lit
tle people like us.”

The couple asked officials of
Tennessee Gas, a subsidiary of
Tenneco Inc., if they could
spare the tree, and after some
study by company officials were
told the company will avoid the
majestic tree and others.
Tennessee Gas had the legal
right to clear the black walnut, a
tree rarely found in southeast
Texas, because it was on a com
pany easement. After the first
survey, engineers said the tree’s

roots were a hazard to the pipe
line.
The company’s easement cuts
diagonally across a corner of the
Woods’ property.
After several calls, including
one to Bill Such, a vice president
with Tennessee Gas, the com
pany said it would reconsider.
Pipeline division supervisor
Jim Quasney flew to the Woods’
home, looked at the sitution and
determined it would not be
necessary to cut down the tree.
The new pipeline would be re-
routed,- Quasney told the
couple.
A tree expert estimated the
Woods’ black walnut was worth
tens of thousands of dollars be
cause the close-grained wood is
scarce and highly prized for
making furniture.
