AUSTIN — Independent presi
dential candidate Lyndon LaRouche
has apparently qualified to appear
on Texas’ Nov. 6 general election
ballot, but the Libertarian Party
failed to qualify its candidate, the
secretary of state’s office said
Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Melinda Nickless
said LaRouche, founder of the Na
tional Democratic Policy Committee,
turned in 45,416 petitions, but they
have not been verified.
LaRouche has submitted the
name of Billy Davis of Laurel, Miss.,
as his running mate.
To qualify for the statewide ballot,
a minor party had to submit 31,909
signatures collected between the
May 5 primary and July 9. The fig
ure is 1 percent of the number of
ballots cast for governor in 1982.
The Libertarian Party failed to
obtain enough signatures to place its
presidential nominee, Costa Mesa,
Calif., lawyer David Bergland, and
running mate Jim Lewis of Old Say-
brook, Conn., on the Texas ballot.
But Honey Lanham, national di
rector for the Houston-based party,
said the party will file suit Friday in
Houston to challenge its exclusion
from the ballot.
Each signatured filed with the sec
retary of state was required to be ac
companied by a voter registration
number, and the signer must not
have voted in the Democratic or Re
publican primaries.
She said similar challenges have
succeeded recendy in Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Ohio.

AUSTIN — An attorney for a
Houston couple who refused to tes
tify against their son in a murder
case Wednesday asked the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals to decide
whether a parent and child’s “sacred
relationship” protects them from be
ing forced to testify against each
other.
Bernard and Odette Port each
were fined $500 and jailed for six
hours last month after they refused
to testify before a grand jury against
their 17-year-old son David, who has
pleaded innocent to murder charges
in the June 7 shooting death of
postal carrier Debora Sue Schatz, 23.
Harris County prosecutor Jim
Lavine indicated Wednesday new
charges of capital murder could be
filed against David Port because of
evidence Schatz allegedly was kid
napped from her mail route before
she was killed.
The Ports, who reportedly failed
to report to police blood stains and
bullet holes found in their home the
day Schatz was killed, appealed the
contempt charges to the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals, which
was not expected to rule on the case
for at least one week.
“It is against the natural order of
things and against the Constitution...
to compel parents and children to
turn on each other,” the Ports’ law
yer, Randy Schaffer, told the state’s
highest criminal appeal court.
Schaffer said the same basic tenets
that allow spouses to refuse to testify
against each other should also apply
to parents and children. He urged
the court to decide the issue once
and for all instead of citing legal
technicalities in ruling in the Ports’
case.
“All of us are someone else’s sons
or daughters and a decision in this
case is one we all must live with,” he
said.
“The relationship ofaparem
child is the most sacred relai
of all and no one should be foi
sacrifice the other. A childisati
tension or product of a parem
to compel a parent to testify
a child is to compel him to
against a part of himself or
his spouse."
He said Harris County
tors had overstepped the scopti
grand jury investigations in
for the Ports' testimony.
“These people aren’t suspets
some drug investigation," Sdui
said. “They’re just ordinary
swept into the eye of a hurra
they never saw coming.’’
Lavine argued the Ports'
mony was crucial to the grand
investigation of Schatz’s slaying
cause they were the only people
could testify about evidenced
in their home.

EL PASO — Representatives of
100 major industries are banding to
gether to oppose a proposed $36.3
million increase in electricity rates
and will join consumer groups in an
effort to keep rates down, business
leaders said Wednesday.
Kathy Jorgensen, a spokesperson
for the industial leaders, said a panel
of businessmen will present a pre
pared statement of their views at a
news conference Friday morning.
“There will be seven or eight lead
ers who will form a panel to present
the views of the business commu
nity,” she said. “They represent 100
of the major industries of El Paso.”
Jorgensen did not disclose the
names of the businesses who would
be participating in the criticism of El
Paso Electric Co.’s rates, highest in
Texas.
The business leaders are not pre
pared to comment on Border Steel
Rolling Mills, a steel manufacturing
industry owned, in part by El Paso
Electric, she said.
The El Paso Electric Co., through
its subsidiary, Franklin Land and
Resources Inc., invested $11.6 mil
lion in Border Steel, including $5
million in preferred stock and $6.6
million in equipment, which was
then leased back to the firm.
An employee of Border Steel,
who asked not to be identified, said
the company would go bankrupt if
the electric rates were increased.
The firm’s electricity bill now
amounts to $6 million a year.
El Paso Electric rates are highest
in Texas. Critics blame the high
rates on the company’s $1 billion in
vestment in the Palo Verde nuclear
power plant outside of Phoenix,
Ariz. Company officials, however,
said nuclear power is a necessary
long-term investment as traditional
energy sources diminish.
The statewide average for electri
city bills in Texas, the businf
said, is $39.57 per month for
killowatls of electricity. El Paso
tomers pay an average of $52.69j|
month.
the board, Evern Wall, defended
utility’s involvement withotherffli
panics.
Franklin Land is basically
