Texas GOP
focuses on
four jobs
Associated Press
BROWNSVILLE — Texas Re
publican leaders set their sights on
four statewide oLfices when iliey met
this weekend and snubbed die idea
of separate presidential primaries
and non-partisan judicial elections.
The State Republican Executive
Committee met Saturday for its
quarterly meeting.
The GOP leaders said they
reached an informal agreement to
focus on recapturing the governor’s
office, ousting Attorney General Jim
Mattox and Agriculture Commis
sioner Jim Hightower, and winning
the seat on the Texas Railroad Com
mission being vacated by Democrat
Buddy Temple.
Houston oilman Rob Mosbacher,
the OOP’s state finance chairman,
said concentrating on a handful of
races is an attempt to thwart a united
Democratic Party effort.
“By selectively targeting our op
ponents, we feel we’ll be able to
more effectively use the resources
we’ll have,” he told the Dallas Times
Herald.
Other GOP leaflet s said they con
sider Mattox ripe for an upset be
cause he served 18 months under a
felony indictment before his recent
acquittal on a commercial bribery
charge.
The committee also passed a fot^
mal resolution opposing a Demo
cratic proposal tf) conduct split presi
dential and state party primaries.
The resolution said that splitting the
primaries would cost the taxpayers
an extra $ 10 million.
As for the non-partisan election of
judges, which is strongly favored by
bar associations, the SREC said now
that Republicans are being elected to
judicial posts, it is no time to change
the system.

HUNTSVILLE — The Texas Department of Cor
rections has about 4,000 mentally ill or retarded in
mates and prison officials say they are likely to serve
longer sentences than other convicts.
“Every place else I’ve been with indeterminate sen
tences, I’d say they serve twice as long as the average
guy,” said TDC Director Raymond Procunier. “Your
best bet is that Texas is no different than any place
else.”
About 1,000 need inpatient care, the Houston Posw

Parole officials agree.
While many prisoners are paroled before their sen

likely to stay in prison for their full sentences, said Mike
Roach, spokesman for the Texas Board of Pardons and
Paroles.
“If a community wants a rest from somebody whoil

“A community learns quickly that the maximumcosl
mitment to a state hospital is usually 30 days, 90 difl

SAN ANTONIO — A state dis
trict judge has come under fire for
issuing an order restraining a
woman from having an abortion.
Members of the Texas Abortion
Rights Action League gathered out
side the Bexar County Courthouse
Saturday to protest the ruling by
state District Judge James Onion.
“We wanted to express our shock
and dismay over Judge Onion’s re
straining order prohibiting a woman
from exercising her constitutional
right,” Pat Smothers, a member of mediately,” she said,
the league’s board, said.
The restraining order was issued
earlier this month in response to a
motion by the woman’s estranged
husband, who is seeking to prevent
the abortion.
T he judge has said he ex
constitutional questions tobei
at the hearing.
A hearing in the case is scheduled
for Wednesday and Smothers said
members of the league will attend.
Smothers said the judge’s ord
increases the potential danger f 1
the woman because abortions 1
come riskier with time.
“We of course hope that the re
straining order will be dissolved im-
“It’s astounding to everyone!
he could make a decision liketbisl
