Change in debate site
will cost Republicans
HOUSTON (AP) — Organizers
of tonight’s Republican presidential
debate said the production will cost
them about $70,000 more than a
similar program staged earlier this
year for Democrats because of a
change in sites.
“I’m raising the money so I
know,” Kevin Burnette, president of
Southern Political Consultants, said
Tuesday as crews for William F.
Buckley Jr.’s “Firing Line” program
were setting up the stage at the new
George R. Brown Convention Cen
ter.
The show’s special segment will be
the First debate among the six 1988
Republican presidential contenders.
The Democratic presidential can
didates had a similar debate on
Buckley’s show, which was also
broadcast from Houston on July 1.
Today’s debate will be aired live
from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. CST.
Candidates scheduled to appear
are Vice President George Bush,
Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, Rep.
Jack Kemp of New York, former
Secretary of State Alexander Haig,
former TV evangelist Pat Robertson
and former Delaware Gov. Pierre S.
“Pete” Du Pont.
Burnette said the Democrats’ two-
hour appearance on public tele
vision this summer cost $230,000 to
air from the W’ortham Center, a
nearby performing arts complex
that celebrated its opening earlier in
the year.
He put the price tag for today’s af
fair at $300,000, with additional
costs blamed on television produc
tion necessities for the Brown Cen
ter auditorium.
“Wortham is very, very nice,” he
said. “Wortham is an incredible fa
cility.
“They (production crews) love it.
The lights are in place. The cameras
plugs are in place. It’s there and re
ady to roll.
“Here it’s exacdy the opposite. It’s
not built for TV.”
The “Firing Line” program is the
first television production staged in
side the Brown Center auditorium,
which seats about 4,000 people. The
Wortham Center was not available
for the Republicans because of an
other event.
Burnette said despite production
problems, ticket demand has been
heavy. About 400 requests for press
credentials also have oeen made, up
slightly from the July affair.
No spectator tickets have been
sold, although 1,400 have been di
vided among the candidates, wl
of whom may be selling themtoraj
campaign money, he said. Anoikj
200 tickets were given to the Teal
Republican Party, with the reraEl
der going to firms that have inidcl
written the event.
“By the time of this debate, tl
candidates have a clear idea of nil I
their mission is,” Burnette sail
“Their goal has been to different:I
themselves to attract more vok[
teers and more money to tkj
team.”
Producer Warren Steibeh
hoped some fireworks would
out during the question-andansuI
segment in which former Deiii!.|
cratic National Committee Qaif
man Robert Strauss will join Budlrl
in questioning the contenders,
“I hope all the competidvensl
c onies out, because all six people,t|
of whom have a lot to offer, arecocl
peting,” Steibel said. "When ikI
compete, you want to be the winul
and the other people tobethelostrl
The competition is for real,
super-polite is not.”
Burnette said he also was look!
for a lively session.
“The producer wants to showi ,I
fast these guys are on theirfeet.'l*|

DALLAS (AP) — A woman w'hose 11-year-old
daughter was abducted and raped in a city park said she
was astounded that several bystanders ignored the girl’s
frantic pleas for help.
“They heard her and they saw her, but they didn’t do
a thing to help,” the victim's mother said. “They didn’t
do a thing about it. I don’t understand how people
could stand and let a thing like that happen.”
The girl told police *he was riding her l icycle on her
way to visit a cousin about 3 p.m. Sunday when a man
who appeared to be in his early 20s began jogging
alongside her and ordered her to stop.
The girl tried to get away from him, but he grabbed
her from behind and yanked her off the bicycle, police
said.
At least four people were within earshot but refused
to help her as the man took her behind the Juanita
Craft Recreation Center, where the attack occurred, the
victim’s mother said Monday.
Police investigator Devon Davis said police were un
able to locate any of the witnesses, although the girl
gave descriptions of several.
“It sounds like several people at least acknowledged
her but didn’t make any move to help,” he said.
The man grabbed the girl around the neck and
forced her to push her bike along as they walked across
a footbridge and through a vacant softball field. Tt; I
girl told police she shouted for several people neank I
field to help her, but they did nothing.
She said that as she and the man rounded a teic
court next to the recreation center, she again criedc: I
and caught the attention of a man practiring teiu
shots, but the player did not respond.
“AH he did was look at her, and then he went bad f: I
playing tennis," the mother said. “I wish I knew*k|
that man was, because I would like to ask himhowli
could do that.”
The man dragged the girl behind the hedge,wbl
he choked her and threatened to strangie herifik|
called out again. After raping her, he took herbteI
and pedaled away, police reports said. The bicyclek[
not rxeen recovered, but police are searching fori I
whereabouts to try and recover more leads to thenu r !|
whereabouts.
Davis said,“There were signs of an attack ouitej
where she said it occurred.”
The mother said she was so shaken by thedaylighmi
tack in a south Dallas neighborhood park that shev]
not allow her children to play unaccompanied again
“She doesn’t go outside unless she goes with me,"uI
mother said. “I have two other kids, and it’s the sari
wav with them now. too.”

Agriculturists claim
ammendments offer
boosts for economy
AUSTIN (AP) — Texans can help
create 30,000 new jobs and about $1
billion in new sales over the next
four years by voting to allow state as
sistance for agricultural businesses,
Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower said Tuesday.
“We can do all of this by investing
in the genius of our own people,”
Hightower told a news conference,
where he was joined by agricultural
business people and representatives
of the Texas Municipal League and
Independent Bankers Association of
Texas.
“This is not money to be spent try
ing to lure General Motors or
Toyota to come build a factory for us
in the state of Texas,” he said. “It is
investing in Texans themselves at a
grassroots level.”
Hightower announced a Crow
Texas Committee with more than
150 members — including lawmak
ers, business and union officials,
farmers and ranchers — who sup
port Amendments 4 and 6 on the
Nov. 3 election ballot. The amend
ments are part of an eight-amend
ment Build Texas package that agri
culturists are praising.
Amendment 4 gives the state the
authority to make loans and grants
directly to private enterprises.
Amendment 6 provides the money
to be used.
Money that would be set aside for
agricultural businesses includes $45
million in general obligation bonds
and $500 million in revenue bonds,
Hightower said.
T he amendments are needed to
create a pool of capital and encour
age banks to loan money to small ag
ricultural enterprises that they may
not have experience with, High
tower said.
“You’re not talking about Financ
ing another empty building in Dallas
or Houston or Austin,” he said.
“You’re talking about putting rela
tively small amounts of money in the
form of repayable capital into enter
prises that will return mighty big
gains for our state’s economy.”
Hagan McMahon of the Indepen
dent Bankers Association of Texas
said the amendments would be “the
first step in diversifying this Texas
economy that has been capital-defi
cient.”
“This is a tremendous incentive
for community banks to support the
farm and agricultural movement,”
he said.
Charles Whitfield, the head of
Brazos Food Company in College
Station, said his company would
beneFit from passage of the amend
ments.
Hightower said a special board
would review all the loans to ensure
that they are sound.

Federal judge delays trial for frail
against Moody because of illnett
HOUSTON (AP) — A federal
judge postponed the federal fraud
trial of Galveston insurance heir
Shearn Moody Jr. after the de
fendant was hospitalized with high
blood pressure and heart problems.
Moody was taken to the hospital
Friday after complaining of chest
pains, dizziness and shortness of
breath, said Dr. Amin Karim. U.S.
District Judge Ross Sterling post
poned the trial until at least next
week, and Karim is to provide an up
date on Moody’s prognosis Thurs
day.
The trial previously was delayed
for two weeks because Sterling was
ill.
Mae Nacol, one of his attorneys,
said, “Shearn is very, very ill. It is
life-threatening.”
Karim said Moody underwent a
coronary arteriogram Monday — a
major diagnostic procedure used to
determine if the arteries are clogged
— after preliminary tests indicated
his blood pressure was dangerously
high.
Prosecutors, however, suggested
Moody may have brought the symp
toms on himself by not taking his
medication.
Karim responded, “I don’t think
he is pretending. He’s in a life-
threatening situation until "
out what’s going on.”
Moody is standing trial
