Associated Press HOUSTON — Two 21-year-old former convicts bombed an Islamic mosque to protest the holding of 39 U.S. hostages in Beirut, a federal agent testified Thursday in court. However, a public defender said the two men merely used the hijack ing of TWA Flight 847 as an excuse for their actions. Daniel Allen Russell and Randy James Jones, both of Houston, ap peared in a preliminary hearing Thursday before U.S. Magistrate H. Lingo Platter, who decided the case will be presented to a federal grand jury. Russell and Jones were being held in lieu $50,000 bond on charges of illegal possession of explosives. The charges stem from the June 22 bombing of the Daar US Salaam mosque in Houston. Authorities previously said they believed the bombing was not in re taliation of the hijacking of the TWA flight and the 17-day captivity of its passengers.

Williams, a Houston agent with the federal Bureau of Al cohol, Tobacco and Firearms, testi fied Thursday that Russell told au thorities he helped bomb the mosque to express anger over the American captives in Beirut. However, Tom Berg, a federal public defender representing Rus sell, said his client offered that ex planation after the bombing “as a justification for his actions.” “I don’t feel that it was retaliation, especially in light of all the other stu pid stuff they were doing,” Berg said, referring to previous bombings Russell and Jones claim to have staged. Associated Press AUSTIN — A state Supreme Court ruling affirming the no-pass, no-play rule doesn’t mean litigation on the controversial issue is over, the executive vice president of the Texas High School Coaches Association said Wednesday. Donald Jay, who coached high school sports for 22 years, said, “That’s just the state. I think it will go to the federal level now. “It’s just a gut feeling, but some body will go to the federal courts, probably during the football season. And then you’ve got a whole new ballgame.” But Anthony Sheppard, attorney for 45 students, and parents in the Houston area disagree with Jay. He said the federal courts are reluctant to address the issue of athletics. But Sheppard did agree that the case is ihably f; Russell, an apartmept mainte nance worker, is on parole for a 1984 robbery and Jones, an air con ditioning service worker, is on pro bation for a 1983 burglary. Williams said Russell, Jones and a third man — who has been linked to the mosque bombing but not charged — have been experiment ing with bombs for some time. Russell and Jones told authorities that in April and March they bombed a portable toilet, trash dumpster, car, postal mailbox, news paper box and a telephone booth, Williams testified. probably far from over. Sheppard said the Supreme Court’s ruling stated only that extra curricular activities such as football or band are not First Amendment rights. The justices failed to decide whether the rule infringes on the rights of students excluded from ac tivities such as student government and working for the student newspa per, he said. “I’m afraid there will be 100 law suits, come fall,” Sheppard said. “We will try to dispose of all of the issues in the Final trial of our case,” which is set for Aug. 28. He said if they can’t do it by foot ball season, it will be an open issue. Sheppard said the next step will be to ask State District Judge Marsha Anthony of Houston to accept his original suit as a class action on be half of all students in the Alief and Spring Branch school districts who were excluded from extracurricular activities by the rule. Sheppard also said he would ask the state Supreme Court to recon sider Wednesday’s, decision. Jay told the Austin American- Statesman he still opposes the rule, which took effect in January. He said House Bill 72, which included the rule, discriminates against many students. T he intent, to force studentsicity landi put academics first on their list,Ufigure wi backfired. Jay said.

Coast may go unprotected Council loses funding cme to i vale anal P But ll Bent di should c Karket, of comm Associated Press Williams said he is pursuing charges against the third man that Russell and Jones implicated in the mosque bombing, which caused an estimated $50,000 in damages. Federal authorities arrested Rus sell and Jones June 28 after a confi dential informant told them he heard the men bragging about the bombing at a Houston night club. Steve Shaw, chief of the U.S. at torney’s criminal division in Hous ton, said the two men could receive up to 160 years in prison if convicted of all the bombings to which they have admitted. AUSTIN — Chairman Carl Par ker of the Texas Coastal and Marine Council presided over the council’s “last rites” Thursday, and immedi ately appointed a committee of Five legislators to try to recreate the agency. The 1985 Legislature failed to fund the 14-year-old council, and it will go out of existence at the close of business Aug. 31. The 16-member appointed council has a staff of four, and its current two-year appropria tion totals $394,665. Sen. Parker, D-Port Arthur, said without the council there is no state agency dedicated to protecting Texas beaches and other coastal re sources. “We’ve been cut short at the very doorway of a very ambitious pro gram for beach cleanup,” Parker said at the Final meeting of the coun cil. “The demise of trie council is very shortsighted,” he said, and added that he might be at fault for his failure to convince other legis lators of the importance of the agency, Parker named himself as chair man of a committee to re-establish the council and put on the commit tee four other legislator-council members: Sens. Carlos Truan, D- Corpus Christi, and J.E. “Buster” Brown, R-Lake Jackson, and Reps. Rene Oliveira, D-Brownsville, and Lloyd Criss, D-La Marque. Truan told Parker, “I don’t think anyone on this council or along the coast feels you ever let us down.” He said that in the recent Legislature “the whole Texas coast was under siege from start to finish.” He said he had never seen so ■ 1 > ie F should b many bills in one session attrcL isjs trave the coast, and he blamed thede mprepei of the council on a few “selfish,ipH rant, narrow-minded people."

Authorities tracked Foote down after being tipped that he was hiding in a house in this community outside Paris, about 150 miles northeast of the Johnson County Jail in Cle burne, Lamar County SherifFs Lt. Jerry Robbins said. Foote, who led a band oF Friends the kidnapping oF 13-year-old Amy McNiel, escaped July 4 by scal ing a Fence at that jail. The kidnap ping ended in a shootout with au thorities Jan. 13, and Foote was sentenced to life in prison. Lawmen credited the $2,000 re ward offered by the girl’s father, Al varado businessman Don McNiel, with leading to the arrest of Foote, who had earlier threatened revenge against the McNiel family and John son County authorities. McNiel said the reward would be paid to an unidentified tipster. “I’m relieved,” Amy McNiel said from her Alvarado home Thursday. “We’ve had a guard outside all the time and I haven’t been able to go anywhere since all this started.” Foote, 34, was wearing only drawstring trousers and was covered with chigger bites when he was ar rested. He told authorities he was on his way to see his parents, Robbins said. mty f rado rc Foote was returned to Cleburne Thursday afternoon, and Johnson County Sheriff Eddie Boggs said he would be transfered back to the Texas Department of Corrections Friday morning. questionii about an Alvarado robbery.
