Committee to choose textbooks Drug case goes on despite admission of unlawful arrest DALLAS (AP) — A jury Monday began deliberating a drug-smug gling case where both sides agree the defendant was unlawfully arrested and returned to the United States. Angel John Zabaneh, a wealthy citizen of the marijuana-rich Central American country of Belize, had just gotten off a plane in Guatemala when he was met by a Drug Enforce ment Administration agent wearing a “Miami Vice” cap. After being held overnight at the airport in Guatemala City, Zabaneh was whisked off to Houston and eventually to Dallas, where he is on trial for allegedly flying 1,120 pounds of marijuana into Longview in 1981. Zabaneh has been held without bond since his arrest eight months ago. The charges — including con spiracy and possession, importation and distribution of marijuana — carry a maximum sentence of 39 years in prison and a fine of $135,000. Defense lawyers and federal prds- ecutors agree he was unlawfully ar rested. The defense went as far as to label Zabaneh’s case a kidnapping. But two federal judges said they would not bar the prosecution of the 31-year-old banana and citrus grower. Because of a little-known but well- established line of precedent-setting cases stretching back.to the 1880s, the government’s power to pros ecute is not hindered when a de fendant is taken into custody ille gally, whether the arrest takes place inside or outside the country. Federal drug agents have been admonished by Congress twice in the past 10 years for abusing the lati tude in arrest powers granted by those court cases. Congress also passed a law in 1976 specifically out lawing arrests “with respect to nar cotics control efforts” in foreign lands. But cases such as Zabaneh’s, only a few of which his attorneys believe occur each year, may proceed unfet tered because Congress has not hacked up its stated concern with any remedy for such illegal arrests overseas. “I really think that in the war on drugs, John Zabaneh has been a vic tim,” said Dallas lawyer Dan Guth rie, a former federal prosecutor who is one of Zabaneh’s defense attor neys. “The actions of the DEA agent in this case constitute a clear viola tion of the law.” DEA agents have refused com ment on the case during the trial. But Phil Jordan, special agent in charge of the DEA’s Dallas division, disputed that his agency acts illegally in such cases. He noted that neither Belize nor Guatemala protested Zabaneh’s ar rest in November 1985 followed a series of debriefings with informants who told DEA agents that Zabaneh and his family were responsible for one-third to one-half of all the drugs smuggled into the United States from Belize. AUSTIN (AP) — The State Text book Committee began Monday the process of selecting $114 million worth of hooks for Texas public: schools after being warned of influ ence f rom the “religious right.” “ I he new textbooks, adopted for use in Texas schools for the next six years, will he marketed nationwide,’’ said Michael Hudson, a spokesman for People of the Americ an Way. 1 ludson, executive director of the self-styled constitutional liberties group, said the publishers have- said their hooks conform to Texas con tent requirements. Hudson said if textbook critics, in cluding religious fundamentalists, “are allowed to influence textbook content in Texas by censoring out ideas they don’t agree with, they can affect the quality of public: education in every state in the union." There was no direct reply to Hud son’s remarks. The final decision on textbooks in Texas will he State Board of Educa tion’s vote on the textbook commit tee's recommendations on Nov. 8. Publishers of hooks criticized be fore the committee have 21 davs to file rebuttal remarks, and thev can make changes in textbooks on the committee’s recommendation. Mel Cablet of Longview, a long time critic of mam proposed text books, complained that beginning readers did not stress “intensive phonetics.” “Nowhere in the beginning hooks are letters taught as representing sounds.. . .” Cablet said. "Eel’s teach Texas children to read instead of memorizing or guessing for the rest of their lives.” Jane Boyd of Grapevine, rep resenting the National Organization for Women, said most of the basic readers offered were sexist in con tent. “Here’s a story about a frog and a toad, and both of them are male," she said. “One of them should be fe male.” Elizabeth Judge, of Houston, rep resenting Broader Perspectives Inc., said two health education hooks avoided information about the anat omy of reproduction “to suc h an ex treme that their sections cm veneral diseases are ludicrous. For example, one refers to the ‘site of entry’ in stead of using anatomical tei ins.” Indigent convicts’ defense fund used up for 3rd time in 9 months HUNTSVILLE (AP) — For the third time in nine months, bills for defense attorneys have drained a special state fund that pays the legal fees of indigent convicts charged with crimes committed in prison, of ficials say. The lack of money has stalled a capital murder case and has prompted some prosecutors to call for a new system of paying inmates’ lawyers. “It seems I light about money, and then I have to fight criminals, too,” said David Weeks, special prison prosecutor. Earlier this month. State District Judge Melvin Whitaker of Crockett delayed a convict’s capital murder trial after the man’s attorney. Bill Pemberton, complained the state had not paid his pending lees. “Lawyers are like everybody else, they need to be paid for their work,” Pemberton said. Whitaker told attorneys he will honor other requests for delays until the state can come tip with money to cover attorney fees. In September, $200,000 was avail able in the special fund, and two ad ditions increased the total to $500,000. Don Gordon, Houston County district attorney, said, “It’s kind of like a yo-yo. The money is here one day and gone the next.” Judy Benton, spokeswoman for stale Comptroller Bob Bullock, said officials have asked Gov. Mark White to put $100,000 in die de fense fund, which now faces about $22,000 in outstanding claims with additional hills being filed. Ann Arnold, the governor’s press secretary, said White is expected to honor the request. Some prosecutors support the creation of a special public def ender system to represent prison inmates. Convicts now facing charges can ei ther hire an attorney or have one ap pointed. Opposition takes over Mexican city hall DURANGO, Mexico (AP) — About 1,()()() supporters of the oppo sition National Action Party took over city hall Monday to protest al leged fraud in state and local elec tions, a government spokesman said. The takeover, which occurred without violence, came amid an nouncements of sweeping victories by the ruling Institutional Revolu tionary Party in July 6 elections held in six states. The only major victory for conser vative National Action, known as PAN, was the mayor’s race in the Northern Baja California city of En senada. PAN, which is Mexico’s larg est opposition party, suffered major setbacks in Durango and in the vast border state of Chihuahua to the north. Official results of elections in Mexico generally are not released until a week after the vote. Jaime Lopez, Durango state gov ernment spokesman, said the PAN supporters took over city hall at about 1 a.m. and threatened to stay there indefinitely. The state electoral commission, which is controlled by the Revolu tionary Party, or PRI, announced early Monday that PRI candidate Emilio Gutierrez Valles won the mayor’s race in Durango, 575 miles north of Mexico City. The commission said Gutierrez Valles received 38,435 votes to 35,362 for ihe PAN candidate, Sal vador Salum. On Sunday night, Salum’s sup porters staged a demonstration in the city’s principal plaza. Salum and outgoing mayor Rodolfo Elizondo Torres, who was PAN’s losing candi date for governor, are on a hunger strike they began late last week to protest alleged fraud. Major victories in 1983 municipal races in Durango and in Chihuahua encouraged the PAN to hope for an unprecedented victory in a gover nor’s race this year, but the official results showed not only losses in those races but a rollback of previous municipal victories. The PRI never has lost a presi dential t ace or a gubernatorial elec tion in any of Mexico’s 31 states since its founding in 1929. Gubernatorial elections were held July 6 in Chihuahua, Durango, Michoacan and Zacatecas, while local races were on the ballot in Camp eche and Northern Baja California states. Partial election results in Chihua hua showed ihe PRI with a strong lead. National Action immediately criticized the results, calling ihe state-wide election “a disgusting thing” that was tainted by fraud. flie state electoral commission said Sunday night that Fernando Baeza of the Revolutionary Party had 164,097 votes, or nearly 62 per cent, to 94,784 votes, or nearly 31 percent, for Francisco Barrio, the National Action candidate. Updated results were not avail able Monday despite repeated calls to the commission’s office. PRI had claimed a sweeping vic tory in the elections shortly after the polls closed. National Action leaders complained that the voting was marred by ballot box stuffing and other voting irregularities. Guillermo Prieto, state president of National Action, said Sunday night that the party was preparing documents to officially contest the elections and ask for an annulment of the vote. !cut here 1 Defensive Driving Course July 18 & 19, 23 & 24 College Station Hilton NEED MONEY???
