GOVERNMENTAL OPPRESSION AND REFORM IN GUATEMALA P^/Df/VTMl CA/VD/DATf- FATHER ANDRES GIRON mCPDAV ocrosEp 2* 7p.m. 207MFC AUSTIN (AP) — Q'tkT action on a state lottery could raise needed millions for court-ordered school fi nance reform without new taxes, Attorney General Jim Mattox repeated Monday, while acknowledging that he probably wouldn’t play a legalized Texas lottery game. Mattox, a Democrat who launched his campaign by saying Texans face either taxes or a lottery, estimated that a lottery could raise $600 million a year for schools and a war on drugs if approved by the Legislature and voters. When asked whether he would participate, Mattox replied, “Probably not.” But he said the real question was what voters want. “I don’t gamble,” he said, noting that he also doesn’t drink alcohol. “I’m not always going to impose my exact frame of reference, and my exact same lifestyle, on everybody else. This is something I think the people will have an option for.” Pushing a state lottery, Mattox said, offers a realistic fiscal answer that other gubernatorial candidates —in both parties — don’t. “The other candidates . . . can talk around the real issues,” he said. “But put this down in your book: when Jim Mattox is governor, we’re going to have a state lot tery to finance public education and the war on drugs.” The Texas Supreme Court has ordered an overhaul of the public school finance system by May 1, and some experts predict that could cost $ 1.5 billion or more. “If an income tax crosses my desk as governor, I will veto it,” Mattox said, adding that lottery experience in other states show the games to be consistent money makers in which citizens take part voluntarily. New York, for example, earns more than $700 mil lion a year from its lottery. Such a game, once legalized, could be started and begin generating revenue ven quickly, he said. Mattox said Republican Gov. Bill Clements shoulc call the Legislature into special session to begin quid consideration of a lottery because of the May 1 schod finance deadline. “You can get a tremendous amount of money froi this lottery if we will just move,” Mattox said. “We can dillydally around. Our Legislature responds to tin Pearl Harbor theory. They don’t move until thebomfe start dropping.” In other political developments Monday: • Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jack Rains uf veiled proposals he said would ease the burden a counties of paying for health care for the poor and address rural health care problems. He called for a program of matching grants to rt imburse counties for indigent health costs and toes pand state programs for prenatal information andser ices. He also urged medical school deans to develop a pi to make certain a percentage of graduates practice rural areas; creation of regional trauma centers; expat sion of “life flight” emergency services, and devt opment of a traveling program that would take spec:: ized treatment to rural areas. • Ron DeLord, president of the Combined Lawt forcement Associations of Texas, announced hisbidfa the state Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Ket Caperton, D-Bryan, saying ethics reform would b top priority if he’s elected. DeLord this summer asked for an investigation lobbyists’ involvement in the veto of a bill his pofitf group had supported. Airline thanks D-FW area for support against takeover FORT WORTH (AP) —American Airlines, silent during the days of Donald Trump’s $7.5 billion offer to buy the company, has taken out full- page newspaper ads thanking the Dallas-Fort Worth area for backing the carrier against the takeover. When Trump’s $120-per-share buyout proposal for AMR Corp. was revealed on Oct. 5, the airline’s par ent company clamped down a tight lid of secrecy, refusing even to an swer routine questions. many people we had in our corner,” says the ad appearing in Sunday and Monday editions of various Dallas and Fort Worth daily newspapers. “We don’t think selling American Airlines is in anyone’s best interest. Not our shareholders’, our employ ees’, our customers’ or the Dallas- Fort Worth community’s,” the ad says. The airline, already in the midst of a media campaign celebrating the move 10 years ago from New York to Fort Worth, added a new twist in the advertisements which read, in part, “Based Here. Best Here. Backed Here.” Company spokesman Jim Brown said there was no one action that prompted the ad, “just our collective feeling during the period that oc curred that they (the community) had been in the past and were sup portive of the company and its ef forts to remain a viable, growing and successful airline.” Call battalion Classified 845-2611 “We’ve always been known as fighters. But we had no idea how Trump withdrew his bid Oct. 16, citing the decline in AMR’s stock price in the wake of the Oct. 13 drop in the stock market.
