Lawyer enters insanity
as kidnapping def ense
irit of penance lost
United Press International
GALVESTON — The de
fense introduced into evidence
Tuesday artwork depicting
dark, shrouded figures that it
said showed the artist, a Conroe
electrical engineer on trial for
kidnapping, was mentally in
sane during the time a man was
buried alive in an extortion
scheme.
Lawyer Elmo Schwab said
Ronald Floyd White, 39, be
cause of mental illness, often
dreamed of dark, shadowy fi
gures coming to get him.
Schwab therefore claimed
White was not responsible for
his acts.
The prosecution rested Mon
day after presenting evidence
that White was involved in the
abduction of Michael Baucom
from his Santa Fe home Sept. 21,
1982, and in the burial of
Baucom during an extortion
attempt.
She said it read: “I have the
power and I have the will to keep
the dope from getting to the
young.”
Schwab, who has tried to have
White committed since taking
the case, introduced into evi
dence several bizarre oil paint
ings and sketches depicting
shrouded people. He said White
began seeing those people in his
dreams in 1981.

L PASO — The church law
o| abstinence has changed and
feian Catholics in Texas and
throughout the United States
ai£ again being asked to abstain
from eating meat on Fridays,
idergvinen said Tuesday.
■The Rev. Francis J. Smith,
pastor of St. Pius X Church, said
that Catholics for centuries
not eat meat on Fridays
“as a form of self denial as they
remembered the suffering of
Jesus Christ, who was crucified
on Friday.”
■The Catholic Church revised
itslaws in 1966, lifting the absti
nence rule for all Fridays except
for the Fridays of Lent, clergy
spokesmen said. But as of Nov.
27, the abstinence rule is back in.
When the church law was re
vised in 1966, Smith said, Catho
lics who ate meat on Friday were
encouraged to perform some
other kind of penance or self
sacrifice for the forgiveness of
sins.
The new law reflects a con
cern by the church that Catho
lics are not doing any penance
and priests are urging their
faithful to return to the meatless
Fridays, Smith said.
The Diocese of El Paso, which
includes 10 counties in West
Texas, sent a letter to pastors on
Nov. 27, stating that all Catholics
between the ages of 14 and 60
“are bound to abstain from meat
on all Fridays of the year.”
Catholics were reminded in
the letter from Bishop Raymun-
do J. Pena that the law of absti
nence was never completely re
moved from the laws of the
church.
Bill Ryan, a spokesman for
the U.S. Catholic Conference
Bishops Administrative Com
mittee, said bishops from
throughout the United States
discussed the abstinence rule at
their November meeting and
concluded that Catholics in the
United States “had lost the spirit
of penance.”
Smith said Texas bishops are
considering “spelling out” some
suggestions of penance substitu
tions for those Catholics who do
not abstain from meat. Charity
work and prayer would be
acceptable alternatives, Smith
said.
The Rev. Vicente Calderon,
vice chancellor of the El Paso
diocese, said “more prayer, pe
nance and sacrifices are needed
with so many problems around
the world.”

paying q(>0UU each tor lunch, met
with the candidates in Houston.
The three candidates started
their day in Atlanta for break
fast, flew to Houston for lunch
and left for a dinner in Albu
querque. Officials had hoped to
raise $400,000 in Houston.
Candidate Reubin Askew
missed the event because of a
death in the family.
The candidates made a three-
minute speech, in which they
stressed party unity and Demo
cratic policies, although each
man politely campaigned for
himself.
“I think we (Democrats) can
win next year because some of
the policies of this administra
tion have to change if this nation
is going to have the future it can
have,” Glenn said.
“I think we can do this with
and not over promising mem
things we can’t do. I think we can
do it with a great deal of inde
pendence saying we have to do
what is best for the greatest
number of people,” he said.
Hart took a more direct
approach in criticizing the cur
rent administration.
“We Democrats believe that
we must tell the American peo
ple that there will not be any
thing worse for this country that
four more years of Ronald
Reagan,” Hart said.
“I don’t think it will be (an
easy election). We will not win by
personalities. We can’t out grin
the champion grinner of all
time. We will not win by slogans
and generalities reminding pe-
ple what we have done for them
in the past,” Hart said.
And Jackson took the oppor
tunity to stress his “rainbow”
coalition of blacks, Hispanics,
poor people and women, many
of whom Jackson claims are not
registered to vote yet.
It has been reported that
Jackson wants to have a woman
as his vice presidential candi
date.
“If Mrs. Indira Ghandi can
run India, a nation of 600 mil
lion people; if Mrs. Golda Meir
can run Israel at a time of war; if
Mrs. Thatcher can run Britain
and we can survive three years of
Reagan, then surely a woman
can run this country,” Jackson
said.
The three men agreed the
main issue in this election will be
the nation’s economy and its
foreign policy.
