Judge wants
pregnant mother
to give up baby
What’s up
Tuesday
TUCSON, Ariz. (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.”

African woman claims workers
gain unionization skill from Kint
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A South
African woman who helped orga
nize black workers in her country
said Monday the workers had
learned the power of unionizing
from slain civil rights leader Martin
Luther Kingjr.
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.
Events honoring King have
held around the state since b 5
day.
In the Dallas suburb off
Prairie, about two dozen people
and marched in protest of these
district’s decision to hold classes

a bad weather day on Mond 1

March, as had been planned
Protester Betty Hyte felt the
sion stripped black students of
heritage. “When they get ;
adults they won’t have blackp ri -
you knock it out of them
they’re children,” she said.
In Dallas, a parade andeertf
commemorating the slain civil 11 '.,
leader were held. Later, apt®!
