Bill Clem ents chose a 38-year-old Republican state district judge Wednesday to be the next chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court. Clements said Judge Thomas R. Phillips, who was recommended by resigning Democratic Chief Justice John Hill, was his choice after re viewing some 40 candidates. “I consider this appointment to be one of the most important that I will ever make as governor,” Clements said. Phillips succeeds Hill, who is leav ing the court in mid-term on Jan. 4 to campaign for changing the cur rent system of elecdng Texas judges to a system of appointing them. Phillips, who becomes the first Re publican in modern times to head the state’s highest civil court, said he Sheriff claims he will deny inmates space CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Fed eral prisoners here will face rides of three hours or more to court from other counties if Nueces County’s sheriff follows through with his plan to deny them space at his over crowded jail, a U.S. marshal said. Nueces County Sheriff James T. Hickey told the Marshal’s Service last week that, after Jan. 1, he will not accept federal prisoners when the population at the county jail and a new annex exceeds 374. Prisoners headed for court in Corpus Christi would have to be shuttled to and from the Rio Grande Valley or Houston area, U.S. Marshal B.S. Baker of Houston said. The Marshal’s Service, which con tracts with seven other South Texas Counties for jail space, has no jail fa cility closer to Corpus Christi’s fed eral courthouse than the Nueces County Jail. Hickey cited growing pressure from the Texas Department of Cor rections, which is under federal court orders to limit the number of inmates admitted to state prisons. 'That, he said, has caused a backlog of convicted state prisoners at the countyjail. The sheriff also cited a pending federal lawsuit filed last year against Nueces County officials by 71 in mates, which seeks court interven tion in the conditions at the jail. Baker said he understands Hick ey’s problems with the chronically overcrowded j ail. “He’s not in a good situation,” Baker said. Gov. Bill Clements said last week he would hold a “corrections sum mit” after Thanksgiving with TDC officials and officials from some counties to discuss problems stem ming from prison overcrowding. Counties have complained of the expense of holding prisoners who otherwise would be in state facilities until the overcrowded TDC can ac cept them. expects to disagree at times with the eight Democraticjustices. Phillips said he wouldn’t comment on any specific case, but he did say this is a crucial time for Texas’ high est civil court. “I believe that our Supreme Court is at a critical crossroads,” he said. “This is a historic time to become a member of this court. It is a time of opportunity and of challenge to make a positive impact, one that is significant and long-term.” Phillips will serve until the 1988 election. The winner of that election will serve the remainder of Hill’s term, which ends in 1990. Saying he plans to seek election next year, Phillips described raising campaign funds as “one of the few distasteful aspects of the job.” In Advance A&M Symphonic Band will perform By Rick Cummings Reporter The Texas A&M Symphonic Band will perform their annual fall concert at 8 tonight in Rud der Auditorium.
