A pamphlet on telemarketing fraud and how customers can prevent it will go out in billings to approximately five million people in Texas, he said. The Federal Trade Commis sion estimates that over $1 billion will be lost to telemarketing fraud in the United States and millions will be lost in Texas alone. Mattox said Texas is in the process of setting up a computer interlock and exchange program with the FTC, in which the 10 largest states with consumer of fices will communicate com plaints through the FTC.

But Powell said death-sentencing decisions made by judges or juries are based on too many varying fac tors to let discriminatory intent be proved by statistics. The ruling upheld the death sen tence given Warren McCleskey, who is black, for the 1978 murder ol a white Atlanta policeman. McCleskey’s hopes to avoid death had been pinned on a statistical study by a University of Iowa law professor, David Baldus.

Fugitive surrende following intervia on live El Paso TV EL PASO (AP) — A television sta tion rebroadcast on Wednesday a live interview with a fugitive who surrendered to police after being al lowed to appear on television the previous night. Erich Beit/el, 24, called KVIA-TV Tuesday night and asked for a live interview, agreeing to surrender to police afterward. While on the air, he accused his wife, Michelle Beitzel, 22, of having an affair with a Silver City, N.M., police officer, whom he named. He also said El Paso police were persecuting him because the Silver City officer had friends in the de partment. El Paso police spokesman Lt. J R. Grijalva said Wednesday the accusa tion is totally unfounded. After the live interview, KVIA newscasters told viewers Beitzel had only expressed his own opinions, not those of the station. Cary Warner, a KVIA news anchor and executive producer, made the decision to put Beitzel on live, said news director Dan Krieger, who called Warner an experienced journalist. “We disclaimed it as quickly as we could afterward,” Krieger said Wednesday. “1 think he (Warner) made a good decision.” Warner said he was aware that Beitzel was making allegations of his wife having an affair, but he did not know what Beitzel was going to talk about in the live interview. ing driving without a km. instances of driving a vehickt a license plate.
