Navy port Texas finalist for base Associated Press WASHINGTON — Texas offi cials were confident Wednesday that at least one and perhaps two Texas cities would be among'the Navy’s fi nalists for location of a proposed new battleship base. After officials met with Navy Sec retary John Lehman, congressional sources said they expected Corpus Christi and maybe the Houston-Gal- veston area to be on a honed-down list taken from the 16 cities that have bid for the new base. Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, called a news conference Thursday at which he is expected to release the list. After a 45-minute meeting in Gramm’s office that also included Gov. Mark White, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis and U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, Lehman said he was “confident that Texans want the Navy as part of their community.” Seven Texas Gulf Coast cities are vying with nine cities in four other Gulf Coast states for the proposed new base. “The decision will not be politi cal,” Lehman said. “Dollar costs will determine the outcome of the deci sion.” Hobby said the state has pledged up to $25 million for road construc tion and education facilities for the base. Lewis said he had met Wednesday morning with former Texas legis lator and now Assistant Navy Secre tary Chase Untermeyer. “He wouldn’t tell me what site had been selected or who all was in the running,” Lewis said. “He said that Texas would certainly not be disap pointed with the short list, so that gives us quite a bit of encourage ment.” Gramm said, “We’ve been mar ried to the military for a long time in Texas, and it’s been a long and happy marriage.” Shotgun blast victim wins $6.13 million suit Associated Press AUSTIN — A man wounded in the leg by a blast from a Spanish- made shotgun, which fired even though it was on safety and no one touched the trigger, won a $6.13 million judgment Wednesday in the Texas Supreme Court. Clifford Wayne King was struck in the left shin, with the blast exiting from his upper calf. King, claiming he had suffered some permanent loss of the use of his left foot, sued the manufacturer, Armas Erbi S. Coop, of Spain; Inter national Armament Corp., a Dela ware firm that imported and distrib uted the 12-gauge shotgun; and Oshman’s Sporting Goods Co., Texas, Inc., the retail seller in Hous ton. King, according to court records. had set up cans for target practice at a relative’s farm in Marlin in Novem ber 1979 and was walking toward his stepfather, who was inspecting the “Star Gauge” shotgun, when it dis charged. The trial court awarded King $234,053 actual damages against Oshman’s and Interarms; $1.5 mil lion punitive damages against Inter arms; and $4.4 million punitive damages against Armas Erbi, which made no appearance at the trial. Justice James Wallace of the Su preme Court noted that of 700 shot guns received by Interarms in two shipments, 150 were rejected for “cosmetic” defects, and of the re maining 550, only two of every 25 were internally inspected for safety and mechanical defects.
