Clements outspends
White during October
AUSTIN (AP) — Republican gu
bernatorial candidate Bill Clements
reported Tuesday he had raised
more money and outspent his Dem
ocratic opponent Gov. Mark White
during the past month.
Tuesday was the deadline for can
didates to file campaign finance re
ports for the period Sept. 26
through Oct. 25.
White’s reports, from five differ
ent funds, showed a total of $2.83
million in contributions for the pe
riod, with expenditures of $3.48 mil
lion for the same period.
Prior to Sept. 26, White reported
raising $8.2 million for his re-elec
tion campaign.
John Weaver, deputy campaign
manager for Clements, said Clem
ents’ contributions for the reporting
period totaled $3.54 million, includ
ing $2.64 million in loans.
Clements’ expenditures for the
period totaled $3.55 million, Weaver
said.
Prior to Sept. 26, Clements re
ported raising $6.2 million and
spending about $6.1 million.
The deadline for the campaign
reports was Tuesday but candidates
could meet the deadline by getting
the reports in the mail by Tuesday.
Texas banks fall
behind rest of U.S.
in 1986 earnings
AUSTIN (AP) — The perfor
mance of Texas banks during the
first half of this year fell far behind
that of banks nationwide, according
to a new study released by Sheshu-
noff Ratings Services.
The state’s 1,957 banks reported
combined first-half losses of $247.4
million, compared with earnings of
$652.2 million in the first half of
1985, said Sheshunoff, which rates
banks and savings institutions.
During the same period, earnings
of the nation’s 14,248 banks fell 2.6
percent, from $9.27 billion to $9.03
billion.
Non-performing loans made up
4.5 percent of total loans by Texas
banks during the first half. Such
loans for banks nationwide rep
resented about 2.9 percent of total
first-half loans, Sheshunoff said.
The Sheshunoff study is based on
the Federal Reserve Bank Board’s
June 30 preliminary report of condi
tion and income. But Texas’ bank
holding companies have had consid
erable third-quarter losses or dimin
ished earnings.
First City Bancorp of Houston
posted a third-quarter net loss of
$47.9 million, compared with net in
come of $ 10.8 million a year ago.
InterFirst Corp. of Dallas re
ported net income of $2.1 million
for the third quarter, down 87 per
cent from $ 16.2 million last year.
MCorp of Dallas posted net in
come of $7.1 million, down 78 per
cent from $32.9 million in last year’s
third quarter.
RepublicBank Corp. of Dallas said
its third-quarter net income fell 55
percent to $16 million, compared
with $35.7 million a year earlier.
Despite the negative effects of low
energy prices and a commercial real
estate slump, the report ranked
seven Texas banks among the na
tion’s largest 100 in total assets.
Barton ads total one-fifth
of his campaign expenses
WASHINGTON (AP) — Incum
bent U.S. Rep. Joe Barton spent
more than a fifth of his entire cam
paign fund on advertising during
the first half of October in one of the
state’s five hottest congressional
races, federal records show.
Barton, of Ennis, is one of a “six-
pack” of freshman GOP congress
men who rode the tidal wave of sup
port for President Reagan in the
1984 election. This year he faces a
stiff challenge from Democrat Pete
Geren, a former state director for
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas.
In a final effort to strengthen his
image as an experienced member of
, - Congress, Barton spent more than
$106,000 in the first two weeks of
October for ads to be televised in
Dallas during the final days preced
ing the election.
“I’ll tell you, $100,000 doesn’t buy
you much television time in the Dal
las market,” Barton aide Cathy Hay
said.
Geren spent $72,555 during the
same period in his challenge in the
6th District, which includes 14 coun
ties and stretches from Fort Worth
to Houston.
Records at the Federal Election
Commission for the first two weeks
of October show campaign contribu
tions for Geren equaled $61,241,
while Barton took in $60,890.

is year.
The student has not been ar
rested, but the U.S. attorney’s office
is investigating, said Special Agent
Dave Freriks of the U.S. Secret Serv
ice. He said he expects the case to be
presented to a federal grand jury
Dec. 9.
Parchman said food service em
ployees in July noticed that meal
ticket serial numbers were being re
peated. He said supervisors didn’t
believe the employees when the
workers reported their suspicions.
The employees kept records of
the serial number disci epancies and
returned to their supervisors in Sep
tember with the documentation)
Parchman said. The officials were
still dubious but gave the workers
permission to continue investigating,
Parchman said.
In early October, a food service
employee asked a local printer if the
coupons could be counterfeited. A
few days later, the suspect told the
same printer he was opening a res
taurant and wanted some of the cou
pons printed as part of an advertis
ing campaign, Paichman said.
Employees at the printing com
pany became suspicious and called
Texas Tech authorities.
Cafeteria managers gave police
the names of two students who were
using coupons with the suspect serial
numbers. Parchman talked to one of
the students and learned the identity
of the suspect.
Police and federal agents placed
the suspect under surveillance and
saw him selling coupons at the uni
versity library, Parchman said.
