TX 2 BLOCKS NORTH OF VILLA MARIA 823-3670 AUSTIN (AP) — The family of an Austin teen-ager who was shot to death by police has filed a lawsuit asking for unspecified monetary damages against the city and the of ficer who did the shooting. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday by civil rights attorney Jim Harring ton. Arthur Martinez, 17, was shot in the left side of the head and chest Oct. 30 as police dispersed a group of teen-agers who were using a .45- caliber pistol for target practice in a drainage ditch near a park. Investigators said officer Tobias Santiago fired the two shots at Marti nez after the youth pointed a gun at Santiago. Martinez’ family contends that the teen-ager did not have a weapon when he was shot. “Whatever it amounts to, it won’t bring my son back,” the youth’s fa ther, Armando Martinez, said. “I want my son back, and I can’t have him back.” A Travis County grand jury is in vestigating the case. In addition to damages, the law suit seeks a court judgment that the defendants took Martinez’ life “un constitutionally and without due process.” The coroner’s report showing that the bullets entered the youth from the side proves that Martinez was fleeing from Santiago when he was shot, Harrington said.

Voters on Tuesday placed a Democrat, Ann Richards, back in the Governor’s Mansion. They left Democrats in control of both houses of the Legislature, where congressional and legislative dis trict lines that will last 10 years will be drawn next year . “We had hoped to take a giant step forward,” Meyer said. “In stead, we only took a small step.” The GOP picked up two statewide offices for the first time, agriculture commissioner and treasurer. But neither have a role in redistricting. Bob Slagle, Texas Democratic Party chairman, agreed that the election’s outcome was good news for his party. “We needed the gover norship, " Slagle said, addin g t hat it means Democrats “won’t have to quarrel with an unfriendly Re publican governor over redistrict- mg.” The new boundaries will be drawn based upon the 1990 cen sus. Texas gained three congress men, for a new total of 30. State House and Senate lines also will bedrawn. Besides losing the governor’s mansion, the GOP failed to make up any ground in the Texas Sen ate, where Republicans are out numbered 23-8. In the House, GOP losses on Tuesday put the new Democratic majority at a slightly larger 94-56. The margin had been 90-60. The GOP also was hurt by Democrat Bob Bullock’s defeat of Republican Rob Mosbacher in the race for lieutenant governor. Nerd House by Tom A.

C1989 The Walt Disney Company An Equal Opportunity Employer AUSTIN (AP) — The attorney general’s office said Thursday it will challenge the U.S. Justice Department’s questioning of elections of 15 state judges in new district courts around the state. The Justice Department, in a letter to Texas election officials Monday, challenged Tuesday’s voting forjudges in 15 state district courts that were created by the 1989 Legislature. It said the elections may violate the federal Voting Rights Act. Assistant Attorney General John Dunne of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, said 13 of the 15 new courts have the same geographic jurisdictions as previously existing judgeships. Mark Toohey, a spokesman for Texas Secre tary of State George Bayoud, said the state sought Justice Department clearance for the 15 elections last February. Under the Voting Rights Act, elections changes must be approved by the federal agency, he said. After supplying additional information re- feder; ' quested by federal officials, Toohey said, “We got notice of their objection on Nov. 5, the day be fore the election.” Ron Dusek, a spokesman for Attorney General Jim Mattox, said the state would challenge the Justice Department in federal court in Washing ton. Dusek said the Justice Department is raising the same question about possible racial discrimi nation in these at-large judicial elections as were raised in an earlier, major federal lawsuit against Texas’ court elections. In that case, the at-large election system was challenged by opponents who contend it dilutes the voting strength of minorities. Although U.S. District Judge Lucius Bur ruled against the state’s at-large system, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orl( sided with Texas. 7’he case currently is onaff to the U.S. Supreme Court, Dusek said. “It appears that the Justice Departmentis ing to overrule the 5th Circuit Court of Appe* Dusek said Thursday. “We’re going to files® thing in Washington, in federal court, inordt challenge the Justice Department. “The winners (of Tuesday’s elections) staj the bench unless a federal court says otherMf he said. “But that court would have to be ay that this whole question of how we elect judges is before the Supreme Court.” The judges in the 15 new courts were pointed by Gov. Bill Clements after the i Legislature created them. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY ^ Explore the World! Be an Exchange Student Study in Mexico, England, Scotland or Germany for TAMU Credit!!
