(AP) — A judge jailed a pregnant woman Monday because she violated her probation for child abuse and said he wants her maternal rights ended when her baby is born. Lawrence Fleischman, a Pima County superior court judge, told Kathy J. Heinrich, who is six-months pregnant, that he would have pre ferred to have given her a long prison term instead of a six-month sentence. The 25-year-old had been charged with first-degree murder and intentional child abuse in the death of her 10-month-old son. But he said her conviction last Feb. 24 by a Superior Court jury of the lesser charge of negligent child abuse “drastically limited any prison op tions I had.” He said he wanted to be certain she could harm no other children and ensure she gets psychological help. He said that after the jail term she can return to Dallas County for the rest of her probation if she main tains a full-time job, is under that county’s probation supervision, be gins regular counseling and be on a “birth control device with written ev idence.” Heinrich was arrested Nov. 19 in Waxahachie where she had gone from Dallas to live with her mother after having been allowed to serve her four-year probation iri Texas. But she was taken into custody when she failed to meet several con ditions, including receiving regular psychological treatment and holding full-time work. Texas high court lets law graduates take bar exam AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Su preme Court says graduates of the Reynaldo G. Garza School of Law in Edinburg will be allowed to take the state bar exam. The court granted a preliminary waiver last week that will allow the graduating classes of 1988 and 1989 to take the exam. The 16 students due to graduate this spring had been told they could not take the exam because the school is not accredited. The court’s final waiver approval is contingent on the schools passing an inspection by three justices who will visit soon. The two-year grace period granted by the court gives the school another chance at getting American Bar Association accreditation. The law school now must find a university to affiliate itself with, which is the most crucial step in get ting ABA recognition. Last year the state legislature dis missed a proposal to link the school with the Pan American University in Edinburg. Garza school officials now are talking with private schools in Loui siana. “It’s amazing to me they’ve stuck around,” Supreme Court Justice Franklin Spears said. “But they’ve hung in there, and I have the im pression they really are striving to produce quality lawyers.” AGGIES FOR JACK KEMP:will meet at 7 p.m. in 402 Rudder.

Nomonde Ngubo joined Mayor Henry Cisneros, AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland and former New See related story, page 1 Mexico Gov. Toney Anaya in com memorating the national holiday honoring King, who was killed in 1968 while trying to organize sanita tion workers in Memphis, Tenn. Ngubo, 30, who works as an inter national liaison for the United Mine Workers of America, sang and talked about her youth and con trasted the two-mile march and rally in San Antonio with attempts to march in South Africa. “In South Africa today this would be an illegal gathering and police would break it up and throw tear gas,” she said. “But here, I saw police all over and they were escorting and encouraging people. I hope to see that happen in South Africa one day.” Ngubo said that mine workers re cently refused to work, halting oper ations at 33 coal and gold mines and stifling the white-ruled government. “We have the power that Martin Luther King talked about, that our power is in our labor,” she said. “You can do something about apart heid by doing as much as you did to day.” Ngubo drew more applause from the estimated 5,000 spectators than any of the other speakers. King’s birthday was last Friday but banks, schools and other public of fices were closed Monday as Texans celebrated the holiday. In Texas, the holiday is an optional one for state workers. Kirkland said his 14 million AFL- CIO workers should be at the foref ront of acknowledging King’s contri bution to labor. “In union halls and bargaining ta bles all across this land, union mem bers are calling ... to reaffirm that this holiday, with this message of jus tice and dignity, freedom and peace, needs to be honored and celebrated as something more than just a nota tion on the calendar,” he said. “They know that he knew, as he talked, that freedom had an eco nomic dimension as well as a political one,” Kirkland said. Cisneros, A&M Class of ’68, led a procession of civic groups who placed wreaths on a statue of King. Keith Wilson, a local actor, recited King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech and Cisneros followed it up in Spanish. Cisneros, serving his fourth term as mayor of the country’s ninth larg est city, said King helped close the gap between whites and other mi norities. “Today, there are people of every ethnic group, Hispanic and 1 who are in positions of respond . . . because those doors 1 opened,” Cisneros said. Anaya, who stopped in San nio on a return flight from 8* said the United States, with ilsf-; diversity, can again achieve; political and economic strengd “Let us remind ourselves power begins at home and wet* be powerful until we’re rigt and we cannot be powerful we’re just, and we cannot beg ful until we learn to love eacln£ he said.
