Ferraro stands up to UTA hecklers
United Press International
ARLINGTON — Geraldine Fer
raro stood up to hecklers Thursday
— one who shouted “Go back to the
kitchen” — when she tried to lam-
bast President Reagan at a rally at
the University of Texas at Arlington.
The heckling took place two days
after Democratic presidential nomi
nee Walter Mondale received the
worst taunting of his campaign at
the University of Southern Califor
nia.
At the University of Texas, as she
tried to give a speech attacking Rea
gan, Ferraro was repeatedly inter
rupted by loud chants of “Four more
years” and “Reagan,” from large
groups scattered in the crowd of
more than 4,000 students.
One young man, who later de
clined to give his name, shouted,
“Go back to the kitchen.”
As she did the day before in Chi
cago, where supporters vastly out
numbered her detractors, Ferraro
told the crowd without pausing:
“I want to tell you, if I had a re
cord like Ronald Reagan’s, I
wouldn’t want anybody to hear
about it either. But we’ll try one
more time.”
The hecklers continued to inter
rupt her.
Afterwards, Democratic Gov.
Mark White, who introduced the
candidate, said the heckling was “not
bad.”
White said the 24,000-student
campus was conservative, as “most of
them are” nationwide.
White said Ferraro’s appearance
earlier at a breakfast in Dallas had a
better reception. The huge fund
raising breakfast raised more than
$175,000, its backers said. Hundreds
crowded into the room as a banjo
band played patriotic songs and
“Dixie.”
Ferraro began speaking in a fes
tive tone, then turned somber, tell
ing the crowd of the embassy bomb
ing in Lebanon and expressing her
sadness.
“I just want to extend my sympa
thies to the families of the individu
als who lost their lives” she said.
She said she would support retal
iation by Reagan if those responsible
for the bombing were found.
She launched into administration
policy in Central America and said
Reagan is “militarizing conflict that
could be solved by peaceful means.”
She called the conflict “probably
illegal,” and said her son, John, a col
lege student, would be proud to de
fend the country, “but like every
other mother in this country, I did
not raise him to die in an undeclared
war against an unnamed enemy for
an uncertain cause.”

STARKE, Fla. — James Dupree
Henry, trembling and professing in
nocence, died in the electric chair
Thursday for the murder of an el
derly civil rights leader during a rob
bery.
Henry, 34, bid his mother and
girlfriend farewell, and ate raw
oysters for the first time before he
was strapped into the oak electric
chair moments after a temporary
stay of execution expired at 7 a.m.
He was pronounced dead nine min
utes later.

“My final words are: 1 am inno
cent,” the slender black man with a
diamond-shaped tattoo in his fore
head said before the death hood was
dropped over his face.
Henry was the 25th man executed
in the United States since the Su
preme Court lifted its ban on the
death penalty in 1976 and the ninth
in Florida.
Henry was to have died Wednes
day morning, but the 11th U.S.
Court of Appeals in Atlanta granted
him a 24-hour reprieve while it con
sidered his case. He had a calm visit
with his family, including a half-
hour alone with his new-found
mother, after the court rejected his
appeal.
Henry’s final words were barely
audible to witnesses because the mi
crophone placed in front of him
didn’t work. He winked at his attor
ney, public defender Richard Jor-
danby, and began to tremble when
the hood was dropped in front of his
face.
Henry died for the March 24,
1974, murder of Z.L. Riley, his next
door neighbor and a well-known Or
lando civil rights worker. Riley, 81,
was found gagged, tied to a chair
and beaten with a pistol. His throat
was slit with a razor, but police said
he strangled on the gag.
Henry ordered a dozen raw
oysters with hot sauce and crackers
for his last meal, a food he’d never
eaten before. He finished the dozen
along with half a cantaloupe and a
glass of grapefruit juice but refused
an offer of more oysters.
“He said he enjoyed them but he
didn’t want any more,” Bradford
said.
The Texas A&M Century Singers will be selling the Cookbooks in the
Memorial Student Center on Saturday, September 22, 9:30-4:00.
