AG G IE JOKE-
Goddess statue to be removed
by helicopter from Capitol donw
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Goddess of Lib
erty, stripped of her arms and Lone
Star, will touch the ground for the
first time in 97 years Sunday, after a
National Guard helicopter plucks it
off the Capitol dome, officials said
Wednesday.
If the delicate airlift goes off with
out a hitch, the twin-engine heli
copter should lower the statue from
its 311-foot perch on the dome to
the lawn shortly after 8 a.m., said
Col. Herbert Purtle, the guard’s avi
ation officer.
“If everything goes well, we hope
to have it sitting on the ground at
five minutes after 8,” Purtle said.
Friday burial
set for former
U.S. legislator
Associated Press
LUBBOCK — Funeral services
are scheduled Friday for former
U.S. Rep. George Mahon, a personal
friend of Lyndon Johnson’s who at
tained the power of the nation’s pur
sestrings during his 44 years as a
West Texas congressman.
“He walked with kings, but kept
the common man’s touch,” said Kent
Hance, who followed Mahon in Con
gress after Mahon retired in 1978 as
chairman of the House Appropria
tions Committee.
“He was the ideal public servant,”
Hance said. “He acquired power, he
didn’t abuse it, and he always knew
how to use it. He always remem
bered where he came from.”
Mahon, 85, died at 5:50 p.m.
Tuesday at Shannon West Texas
Memorial Hospital, said Verna
Morse, a nursing supervisor. Fune
ral services are Friday at the First
Methodist Church in Lubbock.
Burial will be in the Loraine Ceme
tery in Mitchell County.
Bryan Mahon, a nephew in San
Angelo, said the former congress
man died of a heart attack. Mahon
had been hospitalized for the past
week after undergoing surgery to
replace a knee joint and had a reac
tion to the medication he was taking,
the nephew said.
Mahon represented the 19th Dis
trict in West Texas, serving as that
district’s only congressman until his
retirement.
Mahon was succeeded by Hance, a
Lubbock Democrat who turned Re
publican this year and is running for
the GOP nomination for governor.
House Majority Leader Jim
Wright, D-Fort Worth, said of Ma
hon, “He was a gentle man and the
word honorable fit him like a tai
lored suit.
Capitol architect Koy
said, “ This will then end the first and
perhaps most important aspect of
the beginnings ol the Capitol restor
ation.”
The 1.5-ton Goddess, erected in
February 1888, has been so severely
cracked and corroded by weather
that it must be replaced. After public
display on the Capitol grounds for
three days next week, the statue will
be repaired and used in molding a
duplicate for the dome, Graham
said.
Standing about 16 feet tall, the
zinc statue has made the Texas Capi
tol three feet taller than the U.S. Ca
pitol in Washington.
Purtle said, “We do not feel like
there will be any danger. Wt|
planned this entire operate
great care and meticulous
lion so that any chance olss
dent or damage to the Goddi
Capitol building or the spec
will be extremely minimal
Purtle and Patrick Rice,*
allurgieal expert who has been
ing on the Goddess project,a
merous safety factors have
included to prevent the statue
falling through the Capitol
Graham said the Capitol l
will be closed and thegroundsd
off for the airlift. Spectatorsd

South favors ‘super’ president primary pli
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov.
George Nigh is supporting a move
by Southern states that could lead to
a 15-state “Super Tuesday” presi
dential primary or caucus on the
same day in 1988.
The regional election plan was ap
proved last month at a meeting of a
task force of the Southern Legis
lative Conference of the Council of
State Governments in White Sul
phur Springs, W.Va. Lawmakers
from 13 of 15 Southern states voted
for the plan.
The plan will be submitted for
consideration at a meeting of the
SLG’s executive committee Dec. 4-7
at Lake Tahoe, Nev.
The ultimate goal of the propo
nents of the plan is having a full-
fledged regional presidential pri
mary designed to give the South a-
greater impact on the selection of
Democratic and Republican presi
dential candidates.
Texas Sen. John Traeger, chair
man of the Southern Legislative
Conference, said if the plan is imple
mented, candidates for president
“will be forced to take the South se
riously and campaign early and fre
quently in Southern states.”
Traeger said it will assure issues
important to the South will be ad
dressed during future preswl
elections.
Oklahoma is among tb«'
which still has a caucus if
choose presidential candid* 11
Gov. Nigh aide said the ^
vanced at the meeting in '
ginia would allow Oklahoi#
other states to continue to ha ((
crises, while having a greater' 11
the presidential selection pro* 6
“It could really make
and the South have a big imp
t he selection of the next prw
the aide said. “Nearly one-tit'
the delegates to both Rep*
and Democratic conventions 1 ;
be elected from the South all
the same time.”
