Gov. Bill Clem ents said Wednesday he will go to Washington next week to talk strat egy with the state’s congressional delegation. “I am cautiously optimistic,” Clements said. “I think that it’s us against the field, if you will. We’re a long ways from getting there, but we’re working hard at it.” Federal officials recently an nounced that seven states are still in the running to become home to the 52-mile-long underground atom smasher, the largest research project of its kind.

Texas has proposed a site south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and of fered a number of financial induce ments for the huge project, which will be used in high-energy physics research. Clements said he will visit Wash ington next Wednesday, taking top fficia' officials of the state’s National Re search Laboratory Commission with him. “The whole team will be in Wash ington on Wednesday the 3rd to talk stragety as well as tactics about what we’re going to do to gel the supercol lider,” he said. Asked how he ranked the state’s chances, the governor replied, “I think they’re excellent.” Clements’ comments came during an impromptu news conference fol lowing a speech in College Station. A tape recording of the session was made available to news reporters at the Capitol by the governor’s staff. The governor described himself as “up to my eyebrows in this on a daily basis, an hourly basis,” and he said he expects the Energy Depart ment to pare the seven-state list down to three within the next few months. “That would be my speculation,” Clements said. “I have no inside in formation, I just believe (that will happen). 1 think what (the energy- secretary) w ill do in July is take the seven-list and have a short-short list.” The much-sought supercollider project is expected to create thou sands of construction and other jobs while being built, and some 2,500 permanentjobs when completed.

The family of William O. Wray Jr. will receive the money under a set tlement in which a judge held All Saints Episcopal Hospital liable for his 1984 death. Wray, a 45-year-old cancer victim, died after he was given seven times the usual dosage of the drug Velban. Court depositions show the overdose came after a hospital pharmacist misunderstood a prescription given verbally. Wray took the drug for Five days and became so ill he had to be ad mitted to the hospital. He died June 9, 1984, of infections and internal and external bleeding brought on by the lethal dose that destroyed his im mune system, doctors said in court depositions. Wray’s widow and three children will receive an immediate payment of $1.5 million. The remaining $9.6 million will come over a 30- to 60- year period from an annuity fund established by the hospital for $1.7 million. The settlement, approved Tues day by State District Judge Michael Schattman, is one of the largest med ical malpractice awards in Tarrant County history, attorneys said. Lawyers for the Wray family and the hospital said the judge’s action in holding the hospital liable was nearly unprecedented in settlement agreements. Hospital lawyer Grant Liser said a finding in a civil suit usually comes only after a trial. If the parties to a suit reach a settlement, he said, the defendant normally does not admit liability. Hospital officials agreed to the unusual settlement-judgment agreement, the largest ever against the hospital, because Liser and All Saints President James Schuessler feared a jury might award punitive damages that would bankrupt the hospital, Liser said. “It could have put All Saints out of business,” the lawyer said. Wray’s wife, Frances, and her three children said they were re lieved by the settlement and the judge’s ruling. “It’s a terrible price to pay to bring a message to the community,” she said. “Maybe it will make people more aware that things do go on that never get publicized.” MSC Cepheid Variable regrets that: Star Trek’s Creator Gene Roddenberry 2 courts deny requests for stays of execution has cancelled due to sudden unavailability REFUNDS AVAILABLE AT PURCHASE LOCATION HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A death- row inmate scheduled to die this week was denied execution stays by two courts Tuesday, but another in mate slated for lethal injection Wednesday won a reprieve. The Texas Court of Criminal Ap peals in Austin and State District Judge George Walker in Houston both denied requests to stay the scheduled Thursday execution of convicted killer Raymond Landry, officials said. Landry still can appeal to the fed eral court system. The 38-year-old inmate was convicted of the August 6, 1982 shooting death of Kosmas Prittas, 33, the owner of the Dairy Maid restaurant in Houston. order to review claims of mental in competency tiled by Selvage’s attor ney, David Cunningham. Selvage’s reprieve was granted under a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits a condemned person from being executed if he does not understand the pending execution. Selvage was sentenced to death for shooting Albert Garza, a Harris County deputy sheriff, to death on July 30, 1979. Garza, a deputy constable before joining the sheriffs department, was trying to prevent a robbery at a Houston jewelry store at the time. Meanwhile, State District Judge Joe Kegans of Houston moved the Wednesday execution of John Henry Selvage, 37, to March 30 in Cunningham also filed an appeal for Selvage with U.S. District Judge Norman Black of Houston, to raise an issue similar to one expected to be ruled within months by the Supreme Court in the case of another Texas convicted killer.
