After he spoke in Austin, he flew to campaign stops in Mississippi and Alabama. “Viva Cinco de Mayo,” Gephardt said in his brief speech in recogni tion of Mexico’s independence from France, which is celebrated widely in Texas as well as Mexico. “Texas has traditionally shown the way to the rest of the country as to how to deal with the future,” Ge phardt told the House. “The ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’ spirit is felt all over the United States,” he said, referring to a popu lar slogan used in a state anti-litter campaign. He said he felt many Texans were with him in his national efforts for an oil import fee and for a fair for eign trade policy. Attorney hired by minister's friends to help protect his rights DALLAS (AP) — The Rev. Walker Railey’s friends have hired an attorney to be on hand when po lice question the minister about his account of his wife’s near-fatal at tack, officials said. Railey’s condition has been up graded to satisfactory, and police say they expect to be able to ques tion him soon about the April 21 strangling attempt on his wife, Mar garet, in their home. Ralph Shannon, chairman of pastor-parish relations at First United Methodist Church, said at torney Doug Mulder was hired over the weekend by a group of individ uals who feel that when Walker Rai- ley is interrogated, he should exer cise his legal right to have an attorney present. “We’re not hiring someone to de fend him,” Shannon said Monday. “We’re hiring someone to protect his rights.” Shannon said Mulder’s fee is not being paid by the church but is coming from another source. He declined to elaborate. Police said Railey, senior minister at the church, tried to commit sui cide with an overdose of drugs Fri day after they requested an inter view with him about his whereabouts the night his wife was attacked. Homicide Lt. Ron Waldrop said police will wait for a medical evalua tion of the minister’s condition “and then we’ll decide whether we want to talk to him or not.” Margaret Railey is in critical con dition at Presbyterian Hospital, where she has been in a coma since April 22. Railey told police he found his wife early that morning after re turning from a library at Southern Methodist University where he had been doing research. The incident followed a series of six threatening letters to Railey that were critical of his sermons sup porting civil rights. Police said Friday that FBI ana lysts determined the letters were written on a typewriter at Railey’s church. Railey does not know that Mulder has been hired, Shannon said. “He’s not been in a condition to have any knowledge of it,” he said. ’ “He’s been in and out. He’s be ginning to respond, recognizing people, etc.” Books • Gifts • Supplies ire Slow economy offers fewer jobs ■DALLAS (AP) —Job of fers are coming in slower this ipring at area colleges and universities, and placement 1 lilectors are blaming sluggish state and national econ omies for the downturn in entry-level positions. l() wl[ [ Spring is usually the biggest recruiting season on col- jegc campuses and the heaviest hiring season for em- , plovers seeking recent graduates. !S( J But business closings, mergers, restructurings, losses (| l 'on contracts and other changes related to a weak econ- ' 1 ! omv have caused many of the larger companies nation- I’ ' wide — and particularly in Texas — to reduce the num ber of employees, say industry analysts. PT] Warren Rohh, director of counseling, testing and ca- " 1 reer placement at the University of Texas at Arlington, . said, “Recruiters are saying they have fewer available w 1H positions, and, therefore, are going to fewer campuses.” in . ( S 1 " 1 , But Ray Lewis, placement director at North Fexas 1 ln ' State University, voiced optimism. if'My feeling is there’s a job out there for everyone — you might have to hunt for it harder,” Lewis said. “A majority of people probably are working in jobs they didn’t First have in mind.” ■Ahile the big companies may not be recruiting at the le volume as previous years, analysts say students may fare better finding a job with a small company. Butch Herrington, placement director at DeVry In stitute of Technology, said, “Smaller companies are hir ing more than the larger companies for expansion and replacement.” Joseph W. Duncan, corporate economist and chief statistician for Dun & Bradstreet Corp., which conducts an annual national employment survey, said, “The lon gevity of the economic recovery has surprised every one, and the big companies have become concerned about their ability to become more competitive. “That concern has produced a lot of belt-tightening last year, particularly with respect to employment, and the trend appears to be continuing this year.” The sur vey said corporations employing 25,000 or more work ers have indicated they plan to reduce payrolls slightly this year, but that about 2.6 million new jobs will be cre ated by smaller companies. “Small businesses continue to be the driving force be hind job creation in the U.S. economy,” Duncan said. The Dun 8c Bradstreet study projects growth in areas such as finance, real estate, construction, service indus tries and the wholesale and retail trade — some of the problems in the Texas economy.
