WASHINGTON (AP) — House
Speaker Jim Wright seems keenly
aware that he’s walking a fine line in
leading the Democrats while be
sieged by an ethics committee probe
of his personal finances.
“If you are unyielding, an absolut
ist, you’re criticized for being a ty
rant,” Wright mused last week. “And
if you’re cooperative and concilia
tory, you’re criticized for being so
weak you had to make concessions.”
The subject was Democratic con-
ctsjsions on the minimum wage bill,
bu the speaker’s comment could
hav^ applied to any issue that comes
his v^ay these days.
Thj ethics investigation places the
Texas Democrat, a member of the
Housefor 34 years and its speaker
since Ifg?, in the worst danger of
his political career.
If the panel’s judgment is harsh,
he could necome the first speaker
ever forcedto resign the leadership
post. As eveyone waits for the ver
dict, there g unease among the
Democrats. N
At a news conference Friday fol
lowing the announcement of a new
bipartisan agreenent with President
Bush on a CentnJ American policy,
Wright’s top deptjies made a point
of praising the spe^er’s efforts.
Rep. Tony Coel\o, D-Calif., the
House Majority Wlip, grabbed the
microphones to maktsure reporters
knew the plan was thedirect descen-
dent of a 1987 effoit by Wright.
Battalion File Photo
Jim Wright
Wright had stuck to his guns despite
skepticism even among his col
leagues, and showed “a willingness
to take the heat, to give peace a
chance,” he said.
“If the speaker did not take the
action at that point, we would not be
here today,” said Rep. David Obey,
D-Wis.
Until proven otherwise, most
House Democrats are operating un
der the assumption that Wright will
be cleared by the ethics committee.
“I think the speaker has an enor
mous margin of wait-and-see sup
port,” said Rep. Pat Williams, D-
Mont., although “a damaging report
would be very difficult for the
speaker.”
“My sense is a majority of Demo
crats do not expect the report to be
damaging, but recognize the reprt
will be used by the speaker’s detrac
tors and could be turned into a dam
aging tool,” said Williams, one of
Wright’s close allies.
Most Democrats, many of whom
were reluctant to discuss the matter,
echoed Williams’ sentiments. The
party is unlikely to abandon its
speaker unless the ethics committee
which resumes its deliberations nexi
month, recommends disciplinaryac
tion.
“If a majority of members
thought that a person ought to bt
reprimanded, I believe that’s incon
sistent with the speakership,” said
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
“The unknown bothers people,
said Coelho, the chief Democraik
vote-counter. But Wright’s poweras
speaker has not been diminished,he
said. “His support is solid. I don’tsee
any lessening of support.”
Last week, Wright’s most vocal op
ponent, Republican Newt Gingrich
of Georgia, was elected the House
Minority Whip.

AUSTIN (AP) — Charges were
filed against a Dallas County c\imi-
nal court judge after an Austin po
liceman was struck when he refilled
to arrest employees at an electronics
store for what thejudge believed wig
consumer fraud, police said.
George B. Shepherd Jr., 45, of
Dallas, was jailed on misdemeanor
charges of assault with bodily injury
and resisting arrest.
“Do you want to see the bloody
shirt?” Shepherd told the Dallas
Times Herald after his arrest.
“1 had been bashed in the nose by
a fist,” Shepherd told the newpaper.
Shepherd, judge for Dallas
County criminal court No. 9, was re
leased shortly after 7:30 p.m. Satur
day on personal recognizance bonds,
said Beverly Piper, a municipal court
clerk.
Shepherd was not at home when
called for comment Sunday by the
Associated Press, however he told
Dallas newspapers his attorney had
Service fees
(Continued from page I)
made other suggestions for more ef
ficient performance by organiza
tions funded by the student service
fee.
For instance, A&M has three divi
sions for the arts: MSC Visual Arts,
Forsyth Center and University Art
Exhibits. The Finance Committee
recommended unification of the art
committees to enhance the quality of
the exhibitions and to aid in procur
ement of grants.
The Finance Committee also rec
ommends consolidating shuttle bus
routes which are not functioning at
full capacity.
The Committee recommends that
the MSC Print-n-Copy Center be
come a self-supportive business en
tity because it does not perform serv
ices directly benefitting all students.
The Center for Drug Prevention
& Education is a program required
by the government and was set up by
government grants. Since most of
the grants run out this year, the Fi
nance Committee recommends that
the student service fee make up the
difference for the 1990 fiscal year,
but recommends that the center seek
other grants for 1991.
Lister changed the Finance Com
mittee somewhat from previous
years. In the past, anyone could be a
member of the committee. Lister
said he wanted a more responsible
and committed group, so he intro
duced an application process.
“I wanted to make it more of an
honor,” Lister said. “The Finance
advised him not to comment on the
arrest.
According to police reports, pa
trolman Bill Thompson responded
to a distrubance call at A&B Tele
vision about 1 p.m. Saturday.
Thompson was approached in the
store by Shepherd, who produced a
small badge from his wallet, and or
dered the officer to arrest some
jstore employees for consumer
aud, the police report said.
When Thompson told Shepherd
hi would need to contact the state at-
toiney general’s office, Shepherd
begin screaming at Thompson and
retimed to his car, the report said.
Tie store manager told Thomp
son fiat Shepherd had assaulted
him btfore the officer arrived and
had refused to leave the store, the
arrest afjdavit said.
As Shepherd began to drive away,
Thompson stopped the car and
asked Shipherd to produce the
badge so Thompson could deter-
Committee has a lot of responsibility
and I wanted to besure we had peo
ple who were really'jiterested in it.”
Diedrich comrmnded Lister’s
changes.
“You can say the Finance Com
mittee is the student body with the
most direct influence oj the admin
istration,” Diedrich said.“That’s why
it’s important to have mtmbers who
are willing to be committed and
spend a lot of time.
“We’re a student representative
body. We don’t necessar?y come
from the Senate. We’re a non-parti
san committee. This year, we had to
apply and make a real commitment.
Mike selected a good cross-secfon of
the University. The committee
members have all different majors
and extra-curricular activities.”
Diedrich said there is a difference
between this year’s committee and
those in the past.
“This group was excellent,” he
said. “Everyone came to all the meet
ings and everyone had something to
say. Since we had members with
such varied interests, we had good
information. For instance, we had
people who were on visual arts com
mittees who could knowledgeably
talk about the arts.
“Also, the committee was not
made up only of seniors. It’s impor
tant to have underclassmen because
the seniors won’t be paying the stu
dent service fee next year, but the
others will.

public official.
When Thompson tried to inspeti
the badge, Shepherd got out of the
car and struck Thompson in ihe
chest.
Shepherd then pulled the officer’s
motorcycle helmet off his head and
tried to place the officer in a choke
hold, the report said.
Two other otticers who re
sponded were needed to restrain
Shepherd, the report said.
12-year-old
watches man
kill mother
HOUSTON (AP) — A Fort
Worth seventh grader — ending
a horrifying spring break in
Houston — attended the funeral
of his mother hours after identi
fying a man he said stabbed her
to death.
The youngster, Ndombe
Woods, 12, identified Darrell
Wayne Davidson as the man who
killed his mother, Joanna Newton
Woods, police said. Davidson, 29,
who is on parole from a 1981 rob
bery, was charged with capital
murder and held without bail.
Police said Ndombe saw part of
the attack early Wednesday at the
family’s southwest Houston
home, and even had offered the
assailant $4 to leave his mother
alone.
Homicide investigators said
Davidson lives across the street
from the victim.
Homicide division Sgt. Larry
Hoffmaster said investigators as-
ssume the motive for the attack
was robbery since the assailant
demanded money, but authori
ties have not found that anything
was taken from the home. Inves
tigators said the suspect may have
been intoxicated by drugs.
When the youngster collected
$4 from his room and handed it
to the assailant, the man threw it
on the floor and said, “That ain’t
money. I want real money,” Hoff
master said.
The boy saw part of the attack,
but was ordered to his room as
the assailant stabbed the mother
29-30 times, police said. After the
slaying, police said Ndombe
called 911 for help, grabbed his
1-year-old nephew, who was also
in the house, and ran to a neigh
bor’s house to wait for police.
