for a lawyer, Hughes said he had
$300 in hand and $200 in a bank.
McGlinchey ordered Hughes to
contribute $500 towards the cost of
the lawyer. The magistrate said the
lawyer would be named Friday and
ordered Hughes jailed until a deten
tion hearing is held Monday.
If convicted, Hughes faces at least
20 years on the air piracy charge and
up to 20 years and a $250,000 fine
on the other, assistant U.S. attorney
Jimmy Tallant said.
Hughes, who said he attended
North Texas State University for
two years, told McGlinchey his last
job was as a yacht hand in Florida,
but that he hadn’t worked for a
month.
He did not explain why, accord
ing to police, he leaped up and
grabbed flight attendant Gregory F.
Puhek and put a knife to his throat
just after Delta Flight 139 landed at
D-FW on its way to Los Angeles
from Fort Lauderdale.
At a news conference later, the
chief police negotiator said Hughes’
moods varied from “very excited” to
“rational.”
Gary Pinkston, detective sergeant
of the airport police, “We feel like
we know why he did it but I can’t say
now because of the pending case
against him.”
He said, however, there was no
evidence that drugs or alcohol were
involved.
Pinkston, the only negotiator to
S eak with Hughes during the inci-
mt, said the man “expressed con
cern for his family and their safety.”
Tom Shehan, chief of airport po
lice services, said small knives like
the one Hughes carried aboard the
aircraft are not prohibited by federal
law.

There is no U.S. Senate election in
Texas this year, but Democratic Gov.
Mark White, other statewide elected
officials, and 26 of the state’s 27 con
gressmen are running for re-elec

Senators serve for six years. Bent-
sen was re-elected in 1982 and
Gramm was elected in 1984 when
Republican John Tower retired.
Senate campaign costs have been
escalating dramatically.
Bentsen spent about $1.5 million
in 1976 on both a primary race and
general election campaign against
Republican Alan Steelman, DeVore
said.

Gramm spent almost $10 million
to defeat Democrat Lloyd Doggett in
1984.
Gramm reported spending
$152,239 during the second half of
last year, the period covered by the
most recent reports (which include
figures for the whole year).
Much of that money went to law
yers and accountants in Gramm’s
dispute with the Federal Election
Commission over his campaign fi
nance reporting methods.
Gramm reported contributions of
$60,965 during the six months.
“I haven’t done any real fund
raising since the (1984) election,”

Gramm told the Dallas Times-
Herald. “It’s been something I
would like to have time to deal with,
but I got busy with other things.”
Gramm is primary sponsor of the
new balanced-budget law, known as
Gramm-Rudman.
Gramm, the biggest recipient of
contributions from political action
committees in 1984, reported
$25,524 in PAG contributions dur
ing the last six months of 1985, and a
$42,608 total for the year.
Bentsen reported more than twice
as much PAG activity, raising
$112,575 from the special-interest
groups in 1985, though only $5,500
during the reporting period.
