Mattox aide:
Opinion puts
no pressure
on treasurers
AUSTIN (AP) — An aide to At
torney General Jim Mattox said
Monday that no effort was made to
use a pending legal opinion to pres
sure county treasurers into support
ing a possible 1990 Mattox guberna
torial bid.
“There’s no way that an opinion
could be manipulated,” said Ron
Dusek, spokesman for Mattox, who
was returning from Central America
and was not available for further
comment.
The Dallas Times Herald re
ported Monday that Mattox’s cam
paign solicited money and political
support from county treasurers just
days after Mattox told the treasurers
a legal opinion that could erode
their powers was pending before
him.
The newspaper quoted angry
treasurers as saying they believed
the solicitation was improper be
cause it implied the opinion would
go against them if Mattox didn’t re
ceive widespread political support
from their group.
“It infuriated me,” Fort Bend
County Treasurer Kathy Hynson
said. “I told them in no uncertain
terms I would not support Jim Mat
tox.”
The legal opinion Mattox issues
could be critical for county treasur
ers, who have been battling a
statewide movement to abolish their
offices.
If Mattox, whose decisions have
the weight of law until challenged in
court, decides for the auditors, it
would mean one less duty for the
treasurers and another reason their
jobs could be abolished.
The office already has been elimi-
niated in six counties, including
Bexar and El Paso.
Green said campaign phone
banks routinely call county officials
to request their backing and may
have contacted some county treasur
ers after the speech, but only by co
incidence.
“There’s just no correlation be
tween what’s going on in the attor
ney general’s office over there and
what that phone bank is doing,”
Green said.
Dusek said, “There’s a phone
bank that’s been going on for four or
five months. We’re trying to call ev
ery county official, every city official,
civic leaders, because Mattox is try
ing to gauge support for himself for
a campaign. He’s said that many
times.”
Several treasurers said they were
already disturbed by remarks Mat
tox had made during his address
and that their discomfort increased
when they got calls asking for their
political support.
“He said, ‘You know if I go with
you all on this opinion I’ll be making
the district judges and the commis
sioners mad at me, and there are a
whole lot more of them than there
are of you all,’ ” said McLennan
County Treasurer Odessa Wells, re
calling Mattox’s remarks.

A&M animal clinic officials
expect to treat more horses
Pari-mutuel betting seen as business boost

By Joy Swanzy
Reporter
Officials at the large animal clinic
at Texas A&M expect a 20 percent
to 30 percent increase in its present
caseload of 5,000 horses as a result
of the legalization of pari-mutuel
gambling, said Dr. RJ. Martens,
head of the Department of Large
Animal Medicine and Surgery.
The fact that more horses will be
sent to the clinic means that the tea
ching and research program will be
improved. Students, who are rotated
through the departments to give
them experience m each field of vet
erinary medicine, will get more prac
tice dealing with cases involving in
fectious diseases, colic and lameness.
Martens said.
The research program also
should be increased, especially in the
areas of exercise physiology, which
involves programs to help an animal
reach its genetic potential to race,
problems with heart and lungs and
research into reproduction.
Martens said he hopes the state
will make provisions to supply
money for increased research and
staff and a new large animal facility.
He said that the main source of
funding should come from racing.
The faculty of 45 veterinarians
works with the students all day and
sometimes at night when there is an
emergency. Martens would like to
set up a shift schedule so that faculty
members can share emergency
duties. He said a faculty increase of
as many as 10 new veterinarians is
possible. A faculty increase also
would create more possibilities for
research.
The 30-year-old facility is anti
quated as far as state-of-the-art sur
gical procedures such as arthros
copic surgery are concerned, he
said. Martens said this could be a
slight setback once the racing pro
gram is established.
Martens said the central location
of A&M in the triangle formed by
Houston, San Antonio and Dallas-
Fort Worth should have a positive
effect on the number of cases sent to
the clinic. These cities could be the
location of major race tracks and all
have good access to the University.
“The Texas horse-racing industry
should be first in the country once it
gets going,” Martens said. “Texans
love their horses and do well with
them; it’s a natural thing for them
There are lots of Texans raising
horses in different states who want
to come home.

“Since pari-mutuel gambling was
approved, they have the opportunity
to do so. I’m excited about the ef
fects it will have both on the state
and the veterinary school.”
