Results of the poll released this week indicate a record share of Texas voters plan to cast ballots in the state Republi can primary Saturday. The poll is conducted by the Texas A&M Public Policy Resources Labo ratory and is sponsored by Harte-Hanks Communications Inc. “The Republican Party in Texas today might be described as a young person moving into adolescence,” Hill said. “And as with any adolescent, there can be growing pains and setbacks.” The GOP faces several chal lenges that must be resolved be fore Texas becomes a fully com petitive, two-party state, he said. Synthesizing the three types of Republicans now involved in the party poses one problem. Lifelong Texas Republicans, those who have switched over from the Democratic Party, and Republicans who have moved to Texas in the last 10 or 20 years have very different ideas of how to run the party and what kinds of candidates should be backed, Hill said. “It will be a trick for the party to make those three groups mix satisfactorily,” he said. The “new” Republican Party in Texas also will have to over come the outlook olUi an ,i time members who, | )ec J failing for so many yearstj candidates, sometiijies more emphasis on i) le j workings of the party t|| placing Republicans i n | said Hill. “The best test of a tr u y peiitive party will be w | le | publicans contest every i horn top to botiom o('(| 1 | lot,” he said. ★★★★★★★★ Jackson switches planes after hailston DISC. 1st SHOW SAT. & SUN.

Asked if it was his deci sion to change planes, Jackson said, “Yeah, I decided it was too hazardous, too many prob lems.” The turboprop plane, an electra chartered from Galaxy Airlines, flew through an area where tornadoes were reported Wednesday on a six-hour flight from Washington to Dallas, site of the Democratic debate. The pilot warned passengers — the candidate. Secret Service agents, reporters, television technicians and staff — “there would be turbulence” as the plane approached Dallas. That turned out to be an un derstatement. For 30 minutes, the plane dropped hundreds of feet at a time. Hailstones rubbing against the fuselage sounded eerily like skeletons shaking in the wind. Some passengers screamed and cried as the sudden jerks threw newspapers, camera equipment, luncheon rolls, plas tic cups and hand luggage fly ing into the aisles. At one point, the entire aircraft audibly shud dered from a blast of wind, pro voking frightened gasps. The pilot announced he would fly 300 miles south of Dallas at a lower altitude to avoid further bad weather, but the plane continued to pitch for another 30 minutes. Hodding Carter, the chief State Department spokesman during the Carter administra tion, was on board doing a pro file of press coverage of the Jackson campaign for his Public Broadcasting System program, “Inside Story.” To relieve tension he sang, “The Good Ship Titanic.” “It was the most frightened I’ve been on a flight in over 20 years and I’ve flown thousands of miles with Secretary (of State Cyrus) Vance," Garter said. When the plane landed, Jack- son stood up in the aisles and made a lasso motion with his arm. He climbed downi runway, got clown on hi s j and knees and feigned i the ground.

Mondale hardly mentioned chief rival Gary Hart, who left Texas Thursday to concentrate on the Ohio primary to be held next Tuesday. Instead, Mondale constantly attacked President Reagan’s farm and education programs. Mondale spent Thursday un der warm, sunny skies hopscotching from Dallas to Waco, Austin and Houston. He plans to travel to Gorpus Christi, Laredo, McAllen and San Antonio. Along the way, he officially picked up the endorsement of Texas Agricultural Commis sioner Jim Hightower. He is also expected to receive the en dorsement of Sen. Lloyd sen, D-Texas. At a farm meeting withfi| tower and several local f; in Waco, Mondale joined chorus of anti-Reagan ment and promised towi farm programs that would: efil the family farmer.
