Dallas lawyer
enters race
for governor
AUSTIN (AP) — Dallas lawyer
Tom Luce entered the Republican
race for governor Tuesday, saying
he had received the encouragement
of retiring Gov. Bill Clements.
Luce, 49, entered a field where
three candidates already have been
campaigning and raising money for
months. But he said he’s not worried
about the late start.
“I haven’t even done my
Christmas shopping, and the prima
ry’s in March, so I don’t consider it
all that late,” he said.
Luce said he had been considering
the race for only three to four weeks
and made the decision late last week.
He also said he wasn’t concerned
about a weekend opinion poll which
showed him with only 1 percent sup
port among likely GOP voters, argu
ing that it is too early to place impor
tance on such surveys.
Luce has worked as a legal trou
ble-shooter for Dallas billionaire H.
Ross Perot, who earlier said he
would support Luce’s gubernatorial
bid. His campaign finance chairman
will be Dallas financier and philan
thropist Peter O’Donnell.
Luce joins a field that includes
Railroad Commission Chairman
Kent Hance, Midland oilman Clay
ton Williams and former secretary of
state Jack Rains.
A number of top Dallas Republi
cans reportedly had urged Luce to
run, including Clements.
Asked about the governor’s sup
port, Luce would say only, “He en
couraged me to run. He said he
thought I’d be a good governor.”
Clements, the only Republican
Texas governor this century, was va
cationing in Africa and not available
for comment.
A founder of the Hughes and
Luce law firm, Luce played a major
role in the 1984 passage of House
Bill 72, the sweeping reforms of
Texas public schools. During that
debate, he served as lobbyist for
Perot, who chaired the Select Com
mittee on Public Education that
made reform recommendations to
the Legislature.
As chairman of the Texas Na
tional Research Laboratory Commis
sion, Luce successfully lobbied Con
gress to fund the $4.4 billion
superconducting super collider pro
ject to be built near Waxahachie.
Luce said continuing education
reform and fighting illegal drugs
would be key themes in his cam
paign. He also pledged to work for
continued economic development.
JP calls abortion clinic
6 slaughterhouse ’
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A justice of the peace
who called an abortion clinic a “slaughterhouse”
said Tuesday he just blurted the word out after
being stung by the clinic director’s criticism.
Reproductive Services Director Patti Pagels
criticized Justice of the Peace Fred Chavez for re
leasing 51 anti-abortion demonstrators on per
sonal recognizance bonds. The demonstrators
were charged with Class B misdemeanors at a
protest Saturday.
After hearing the criticism, Chavez told the El
Paso Times if “she doesn’t agree with my deci
sion, she should move her slaughterhouse out of
this precinct.”
The comment shocked Pagels, who said, “I’m
appalled that someone in the judicial system
should say something like that.”
“I was talking about the law and the proce
dures and the jurisdiction and the district. . . and
I blurted that out,” Chavez told the Associated
Press on Tuesday.
Chavez said he is in his 11th year as a justice of
the peace, and that the voters who elected him
are familiar with his view that abortion is mur
der.
He said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court
will restrict the landmark Roe v. Wade case fur
ther than justices did in ruling on a Missouri case
July 3.
“Politicians don’t like to talk about abortion
when running for office,” Chavez said, adding
that he never has shied from the topic.
In connection with the same anti-abortion pro
test that prompted Chavez’ comments, El Paso
Sheriff's Deputy Betty Lalicker has been sus
pended for 30 days and, with her husband, faces
charges of false imprisonment.
Mrs. Lalicker and her husband Don, a minister
at the county jail, are accused of grabbing a
woman who was trying to enter the clinic.
Lalicker said they were watching the protest
when they were arrested. “We were picked out of
the crowd unfairly,” he said.
He said he and his wife are not members of
Rescue El Paso, the group that organized the
protest, but sympathize with the cause.
Mrs. Lalicker may be reinstated or fired after
the suspension.
