But it appeared the disclosure would not affect the status of KMOL-TV reporter Brian Karem, who has been in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center since June 27 serving a six-month term for con tempt of court. Karem has repeatedly refused to identify the person who arranged an interview with Henry David Her nandez, accused of killing a San An tonio police officer last year. In the interview, Hernandez said he shot the officer in self-defense. Defense attorneys and prosecu tors say they have to know who ar ranged the interview to determine if the Hernandez interview is admissi ble in his trial. Karem’s attorney Larry Macon immediately sought Karem’s release after Sheriff Harlon Copeland an nounced to a crowd of reporters that the reporter’s source was Hernan dez’ cousin. “There’s no reason for Brian to be in jail when the chief law officer for Bexar County has determined the identify of the informant," Macon said. Macoty filed a motion to dismiss the contempt of court finding, but State District Judge Pat Priest told Macon informally in chambers that the motion was meaningless. He said only Karem’s statements, not those of another person, could relieve the contempt of court finding, said Ca thy Granados, court coordinator for Priest. However, a formal hearing will be set for the dismissal motion, she said. No date had been set by late Thurs day. Beth Taylor, who is prosecuting the case, agreed that the sheriffs an nouncement wouldn’t change any thing. “Just because the sheriff says it’s the third source, we have to hear it from Karem,” she said. “He still has to produce a piece of paper of his sources. We need to see that.” “I don’t see any point in com menting on it any further at this point,” she said. Karem said the sheriff’s statements and the judge’s response didn’t change his position, either. “Just because someone says they know who the third person is I’m supposed to confirm or deny that? No. I’m not going to play that game," said Karem in a phone inter view with the Associated Press from thejail. “I’m not going to say who my source is ... I have a promise between myself and that source,” Karem said. “That source has not absolved me of my promise, and if it never happens, I will never say who the source is. “I’m sure as hell not going to be intimidated by a judge, or by a pros ecutor or by a defense attorney, ’ Ka rem said. The sheriff said he learned the al leged source’s name last Friday and tried to call the judge’s office but was told Priest could not discuss the case with him. He did not go to prosecutors, pri marily because of “innuendos” from the district attorney’s office that one of Copeland’s employees was the mediator. “Why should I?” he asked Thurs day. “They’re the ones making the innuendos. If they think I’m the third party, what makes them think that I didn’t cook up the allegation?" Asked why he didn’t try another authority after the judge, Copeland said, “I’m an authority.’ Crank Telephone Calls Most telephone calls are legiti mate, but every now and then you may receive a call which is annoy- ingor obscene. Texas criminal laws state a per son commits an offense if he “causes or makes repeated tele phone communications anony mously or in a manner reasonably likely to harass, annoy, alarm, tor ment, embarrass or offend ano ther.” Here are some helpful tele phone tips: • If the call becomes obscene, abusive or profane, simply hang up! What the caller wants to hear is your shocked verbal reaction. • If the calls persist, call the police immediately and file a re port. Keep a log of the calls and the times. • Don’t answer questions you wouldn’t respond to if they were asked by a stranger on the street Never give confidential or per sonal information over the tele phone to someone you doni know. • Ask the caller to identify himself first. If the caller ash, “Who is this?” or “What number is this?” — don’t answer. Instead ask, “What party are you tryingto reach?” or “What number did you call?” For more information, call the Crime Prevention Unit at 845- 8900. Proposals limit lawmakers’ office terms AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas GOP and consumer activist Ralph Nader both are pushing proposals to limit lawmakers’ terms of office. The state GOP has included in its 1990 platform two planks that urge limiting state and federal lawmakers to 12 years in office. Nader wants a constitutional amendment that would restrict members of the U.S. House to six terms and U.S. Senate members to two terms. He also is attempting a state-by- state campaign to persuade legis latures to pass laws limiting terms of office. “The Republicans are doing it be cause they are on the outside,” Nader said in an interview with the Austin American-Statesman. “Some conservatives are doing it out of con servative convictions. Others are doing it out of political expediency.” Such restrictions in Texas could transfer control of the state House from the Democrats to the Republi cans. By the time the current, two-year House terms end in January, 29 rep resentatives will have served 12 years or longer. Twenty-five of the long- serving incumbents are Democrats, and four are Republicans. Sixty of the 150 House members are Republicans, so a gain of 16 seats would give the GOP the upper hand. State GOP chairman Fred Meyer said current election laws provide “an unbelievable advantage to the incumbents.” In the Texas Senate, four Demo crats have served more than Id years: Tati Santiesteban of El Paso who was defeated in his re-electior bid this spring; Chet Brooks of Pas? dena; Carl Parker of Port Arthur, and Carlos Truan of Corpus Christ: A Republican senator, Ike Harrs of Dallas, also has been in office more than 12 years. Police force cracks down on river pirates NEW BRAUNFELS (AP) — A special police task force has been set up here to ground “river pirates,” loosely knit gangs who have robbed and harassed people riding inner tubes down the Comal River. The young men would sit on a dam in the river and offer to help people who approached the four- foot drop in their inner tubes, police said. But instead of helping, the youths dumped the tubers overboard and took their goods, police said. They said the young men at times also would pull the tops off women’s bathing suits and molest the women. The youths then would retreat into nearby brush. The men, in their early to mid- 20s, were so brazen they approached their victims soon after the attacks and tried to sell back the recently stolen possessions, said Sgt. John McEachern. A crackdown earlier this month, in which 38 people were arrested for offenses ranging from public drunk enness to trespassing, has cut the thievery problem — at least for now, McEachern said. Most of the problem has been along Dittlinger Dam downstream of the city tube chute at Landa Park. The thievery has occurred the last two years, so police this year decided to raid the pirates before they began their raids, McEachern said. “What we’re trying to do is recog nize the value of the tourist indus try,” McEachern said. A chamber of commerce official estimated 10,000 people use the Co mal River each summer weekend. The restaurants listed below were inspected by the' Brazos County Health Department between June 22 and June 29. Information is from a food service es tablishment inspection report.

Kettle Restaurant at 1403 University Dr. Score — 87.

It was a regularly scheduled inspection. McDonald’s at 2803 Hwy. 21 east. Score — 87. Points were deducted for potentially hazardous food temperature during preparation, inadequate food protection, unsatisfactory maintenance of non-food surfaces, unclean non-food surfaces, unsatisfactory thermometers, improper storage of in-use utensils, unsatisfactory dishwashing thermometer, and un clean walls and ceiling. It was inspected because of a complaint. David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the de partment, said restaurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent operations and facilities. He said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s usually have serious violations in the health report. Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said, because restaurants can get the same score by having several minor violations or a few major violations. He said the minor violations can he corrected during the in spection. Point deductions or violations in the report range from one point (minor violations) to five points (major violations). Jefferson said the department might close a res taurant if the score is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequate re frigeration, there is sewage backup in the building or the restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment. The department inspects each restaurant every six months. Jefferson said-a follow-up inspection is sometimes required if a restaurant has a four- or five-point violation that cannot be corrected during the inspection, or if there are numerous small viola tions. Inspectors at the department are registered sani tarians. s Frid * c p sf pc VC surp base the / T taint par i at le of w Sept T1 selec year somi A resp< first- catcl outfi Phih Dyk; Bi som< that; shoti Smit shon com< Soi Th amis: home perce starti He happ Field He first l who: and h Field Ev votin one e idea, devis coacl aneq W1 the re contr sooth chant the se Coa The following incidents were reported to the Texas A&M Uni versity Police Department be tween June 21 and Friday.
