Land Commissioner tries to protect school fund
AUSTIN (AP) — Land Commissioner Garry Mauro
Monday branded as “outrageous” a bid by South I exas
rancher-oilman Clinton Manges to reopen a long-
closed legal case over oil revenues from Permanent
School Fund lands.
Likening Manges to a rattlesnake, Mauro urged the
Legislature not to grant Manges the opportunity to sue
the state over a settlement the rancher agreed to in
I 984 .
“I’m angry. I’m furious. I’m outraged,” Mauro said.
“I am outraged that a man who got a fair settlement, a
settlement he wanted and agreed to, would go back on
his word. And I am appalled that anyone would stoop
so low as to attempt to steal money from the Permanent
School Fund.”
Mauro said that Manges, his wife and his children all
signed the 1984 pact dividing the land in Duval County.
But Sen. Hector Uribe, D-Brownsville, recently intro
duced a resolution to give Manges permission to sue the
state over that agreement.
“You know, some people say that Clinton Manges
never signed a contract he wouldn’t break,” Mauro said.
“And I’ll tell you something. From where I stand, those
people are right.”
Manges was not available to comment, said his Duval
County Ranch Co. office in Freer. He did not immedi
ately return a phone call from the Associated Press.
At issue is an agreement Manges and his family
signed in 1984 that settled a 1982 lawsuit the rancher
brought against Mobil Oil Co. The state had joined
that action. Qln
Under the agreement, Manges received nearl
50,000 acres of private land and, Mauro said, Vr 1
to waive all rights to receive any proceeds” over theo
sixteenth royalty he had retained with regard to Hl%
acres of Permanent School Fund land. ’ ^
Income from oil production on those school fu d
lands goes to finance public education in Texas. nd
According to Uribe’s resolution to allow Manges t
sue the state, Manges now seeks half the $3 niilli 0 °
earned from those 14,720 acres and half of any futur 11
earnings.
Voicing confidence that the state would win if th
case were reopened, Mauro said he was reminded c/
story about a rattlesnake taken in by an elderly woman
The snake later bites the woman and explains, “But you
knew I was a snake before you took me in.”
“I urge the Legislature to kill this,” Mauro said, “It
should never have seen the light of day.”
Uribe, a lawyer who said he has done unrelated led
work for Manges in the past, said he introduced the
lawsuit proposal because it is a citizen’s right to sue the
> state over such disputes.
“It’s been a time-honored tradition that when some
one feels that they have a cause of action against the
state, that a resolution is presented to the Legislature
This is really nothing out of the ordinary,” Uribe said

Corsicana man builds radar
to detect tornado formations
Tornado facts andfigures
Here are some tornado facts from the National Weather Service
and news accounts:
• Tornadoes can occur in any month, but are more frequent from
April through June and between 3 and 6 p.m.
• Most tornadoes track southwest to northeast, but their paths
can spiral erratically.
• The portion of a thunderstorm adjacent to large hail is where
tornadoes are most likely to occur.
• Most injuries and deaths in tornadoes result from flying debris.
• Less than 2 percent of all tornadoes are classified as violent,
with wind speeds of more than 200 mph and a path averaging 26
miles. The longest tornado on record went 219 miles across Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana in March 1925.
• Tornadoes travel at an average 30 mph, but can stand still or go
70 mph.
• The largest single outbreak of twisters on record was in April
1974, when 148 storms killed 300 people in 13 states over two days.
CORSICANA (AP) — When tow
ering thunderstorms threaten,
Lloyd Huffman fires up the Doppler
radar he built from military surplus
parts.
Unlike conventional radar, Dopp
ler can detect the speed and direc
tion of raindrops within a storm, al
lowing Huffman to spot rotation
that could indicate the formation of
a tornado and warn the weather
service and local authorities.
“It just kind of grew over the
years,” Huffman said of the radar
he’s been tuning up in anticipation
of the April-through-June tornado
season.
With a few differences — cost be
ing a big one — Huffman’s S-band
Doppler is like the NEXRAD system
being tested at the National Severe
Storms Laboratory in Norman,
Okla., and planned for nationwide
installation in the coming decade.
Huffman asked the laboratory for
the plans to build his Doppler. “Af
ter they believed us, they gave us the
information we needed,” he said.
Huffman built his first radar sta
tion in 1976, using World War II
surplus Army and Navy equipment
and putting the antenna on the local
hospital. He began working in 1979
on the present station, which became
Doppler-capable in 1985.
“I’m very interested in thunder
storm structure,” he said.
Huffman, 42, has a degree in
physics from North Texas State Uni
versity. After working as a commu
nications systems designer for Moto
rola in Dallas, he returned to his
hometown in 1974 and started his
own communications business.
Huffman and his crew staff the
station whenever severe weather is
possible. He’s in microwave link with
WFAA-TV in Dallas and talks by ra
dio with National Weather Service
meteorologists in Fort Worth.
The radar can detect rain inten
sity for several hundred miles, but
can only process Doppler informa
tion for about 150 miles. The radar
pulses about 1,000 times a second,
sending a beam about 1 and a half
degrees wide. The reflected data is
sorted into “range bins” each 150
meters deep.
A computer remembers and com
pares the location of raindrops, al
lowing it to determine the speed and
direction. “The speed of rotation is
the rate of change of phase angle —
that’s the velocity,” Huffman ex
plained.
The computer assigns a color to
each velocity — red indicates
movement toward the station, green
is away — painting a picture of the
storm.
The right combination of colors
on the southwest corner of a thun
derstorm provides a “meso-cydone
vortex signature,” indicating rota
tion.
After several minutes of obser
vation and tilting the radar beam up
and down, Huffman might spot
elongation into a cylinder that could
mean a tornado. . .
He then makes sure the National
Weather Service knows and uses po
lice-band radios to notify authorities
in surrounding counties.
Lawmaker hopes to restrict bumper stickers
AUSTIN (AP) — Bumper stickers containing pro
fanity and suggestive messages are obscene and should
be severely restricted, a state lawmaker sponsoring such
legislation told a House committee Monday.
Holding up numerous stickers that drew cackles and
gasps from the audience. Rep. Senfronia Thompson
told the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee, “I
don’t think this is the kind of language, the kind of dis
play that you want your 4-year-old to learn.
“I don’t think this is the kind of display we want to
see up and down our roadways,” said Thompson,
whose bill would require stickers with certain language
or messages to be printed in type no larger than one-
eighth inch.
Violation would be a class C misdemeanor. The bill
was sent to subcommittee.
Jack Lewis, mayor of Haltom City, a Fort Worth sub
urb, testified in favor of the bill and told the committee:
“I do not believe the framers of our Constitution na
this in mind when they talked about freedom of ex
pression.” /
He said the bumper stickers are offensive and t at
the messages on some could provoke violence.
“I’d hate to pull up behind a car with this on 1 e
bumper with a grandchild — which just happene 0
me recently,” Lewis said. -i
Richard Avena, executive director of the T e5 ^ s T
Liberties Union, testified against the bill, as did Jon
Boston, representing the Texas Criminal Defense La"
yers Association. ,
Avena said that while he also finds some of t e
bumper stickers offensive, he opposes Thompsons t
because it calls into question First Amendment rig
and freedom of speech.
