Bill Clements to demand Hodge’s resignation. The governor said some of Hodge’s actions — particularly allowing two people outside the criminal justice system to take part — were “inap propriate.” But he said he wouldn’t seek Hodge’s resignation. Clements did say, however, that the incident would be considered when he decides who he will appoint as the next chairman of the Texas Board of Criminal Justice. Chairman Charles Terrell steps down Sept. 1. Hodge has been vice chair man. Sources in Austin said Clements had intended to announce Hodge’s appointment Tuesday, but backed off in the wake of the revelations. Clements denied he had chosen Terrell’s suc cessor. “Certainly I will have this in consideration when I make my ultimate decision,” Clements said. “But as far as disqualifying him, I do not think that it does. I think he made a mistake. I think he’s apologized for his mistake. I’m sure he will not do it again.” Hodge, 47, a former Amarillo mayor, ac knowledged taking part in dog-training exercises in which an inmate was tracked down. He also ac knowledged taking two others along with him and later presenting his companions jackets pro claiming the escapade “The Ultimate Hunt. “Certainly, the use of the jackets and the phrase on the jacket was wrong and inappro priate,” Clements said. “I also feel like having o tside people on those exercises is inappro priate. I will make my views known to the board, and I’m sure in the future there will not be any outside people allowed for those exercises.’ One of those taking part was Glenn McMen- namy, a member of the state Department of Hu man Services board, Hodge said. Calls for Hodge’s resignation came Tuesday from the American Civil Liberties Union, Demo cratic gubernatorial candidate Ann Richards and a state lawmaker. “Gov. Clements should call on Mr. Hodge to resign from the board,” said Glenn Smith, an aide to Richards, adding that Richards doesn’t object to training dogs to track down inmates. “I think the issue here is that a member of the board invited his friends along and made up — ” £ '- ; th said. “Prisons are places for punishment habilitation. It’s hard to believe that chased down bv dogs and horses for sport wont come back on the streets rehabilitated.” Hodge earlier this month participated i n news conference for Republican gubernatorii 1 candidate Clayton Williams Jr. Richards’snnL Vednesda} man said Williams “should discharge him ^ responsibility and repudiate Mr. HodJ, unconscionable actions.” 8 Williams’ press secretary, Gordon Henslei said the Republican candidate believes “there j no question that the jackets are inapprop r i a | f and allowing guests to be present is inapp rt ! priate.” “Mr. Williams clearly believes this needs to be looked into and should be gated,” Hensley said. Texas ACLU legal director James Harrinp s called for the resignations of both Hodge a McMennamy. - matin invesii. “The importance of the positions which! Hodge and Mr. McMenpamy hold are too l jackets that said ‘The Ultimate Hunt,’ ” Smitf portant for the lives of Texans to be entrustedio oeople who have so little respect and sensitivitj lor the dignity of individuals,” Harrington wrott f, Residents: Fort Hood troops ready for rumored deployment KILLEEN (AP) — Folks in this Army town know from experience that something is up at Fort Hood. Soldiers are updating wills and stockpiling desert gear. Rumors are flying. But the Pentagon and the post re fused to say Tuesday whether any troops have been or will be deployed to the Middle East. “I can’t speculate on that,” said Fort Hood spokesman Maj. Jesse Seigal. “We have no comment.” “We simply haven’t announced anything out of Fort Hood,” a Penta gon spokeswoman said. The post is the largest armored post in the U.S. and home of the 1st Calvary and 2nd Armored divisions. The Associated Press has quoted an Army source in Washington as say ing troops from Fort Hood would be deployed. The people of Killeen are sure that troops and equipment from their neighboring post will be in volved somehow in the the Persian Gulf. “There’s something going on,” said Margaret Galindo, an employee at The German Restaurant in Kill een. “You don’t see any Cl’s down town. At lunch we usually have five or six, but I haven’t seen a GI in 2 or 3 weeks.” Almost 70,000 people live in Kill een, located at the main entrance of Fort Hood. About 45,000 of them are military, their families or mili tary retirees. Bell County Justice of the Peace Robert Stubblefield said his office has been inundated with calls from soldiers who want to update their wills or designate power of attorney. “I’m sure they are going over the re,” Stubblefield said. “Everybody kind of gets jittery and wants to get their stuff in order.” , Others point to the run by soldiers on desert supplies at Army surplus stores. The Fatigues and Things store was sold out of desert bandanas and camouflage, said assistant manager Maryann Carrillo. Canteens and de sert goggles also were going fast. Much of that equipment is issued by the Army, but Carrillo said sol diers are telling her the post is either out of the items, or they’re afraid they won’t get them in time. “I know they are preparing for something,” she said. 08602Several soldiers in Killeen declined to be interviewed. Military officials prohibited interviews or pic ture-taking on the post. Walter Clark, an employee at First National Bank and a customer at The German Restaurant, said he heard the 401st Military Police Com pany, which went to Panama during the U.S. invasion last December, had been ordered to go to Saudi Arabia. But his lunch companion, Bobby Cranford, said, “You can hear any kind of rumor.” Residents agreed with President Bush’s decision to send American troops to Saudi Arabia, but said they hoped Iraq would back down with out a fight. “I think with the troop buildup there’s not going to be a lot of fight ing,” said Chuck Ritz, 46, an Army veteran who served two tours in Vietnam. “Our president will not hesitate to go all the way if he has to. But he’s not going to push it.” At Fort Bliss near El Paso, mean while, workers were manning a 24- hour hotline to help families cope with the deployment of the 11th Air Defense Artillery to Saudi Arabia. “There’s a lot of fear out there,” said Donna Santos, director of Army Community Services at the fort near El Paso. “A lot of concern.” Questions frequently asked bi drivers are, “When traveling alone, what can I do to be safer? and “If my car breaks down or the road, what should I do?” The Crime Prevention Unit with Texas A&M’s University Po lice Department has the following tips for drivers: • Try to avoid breakdowns bi keeping your car in good running condition. Check battery cables, bells, tires, oil and radiator at least once a month. Make sure you have ad equate gasoline and money to get to and from your destination. • If your car breaks down, raise the hood, use flares or tiea white cloth to the door handle. Stay in the locked car and when someone stops, ask them to phone for help. Should someone try to get into the car with you, honk your horn repeatedly and turn on your emergency flashers. If possible, pull back onto the roadway so passing motorists will know you are in trouble. • Try not to travel alone at night and plan your route in ad vance. Be prepared. Make and carry an emergency kit with flares, flat fix, send aid signs, as well as a pencil and pa per to write a phone number on The following incidents were reported to the Texas A&M University Police Department between July 31 and Thursday.
