DALLAS (AP) — Dozens of sup
porters who helped Republican
Clayton Williams outspend Demo
crat Ann Rich
ards gave her
more than
$148,000 shortly
after she was
elected governor,
a newspaper re
ported.
At least 60 do
nors — both indi
viduals and politi-
c a 1 action
committees — ,
. . , , Clayton Williams Jr.
that supported 7
Williams exclusively before the elec
tion came through with contribu
tions after Richards was elected in
November, according to a copyright
story in Sunday editions of the Dal
las Morning News.
Donors to Richards in one of the
costliest gubernatorial races ever in
cluded Austin lobbyists and at least
two state agency appointees of the
previous Republican governor.
Lawyers, chiropractors, nursing
home operators and oil industry ex
ecutives also contributed to Rich
ards.
“I basically did not want to be on
her out list,” said Donald Bonham of
Houston, chairman of the Fiesta
Mart stores.
The post-election windfall is a
practice known in Austin political
circles as joining “the late train.”
Bonham supported Williams in
the general election with contribu
tions totaling $25,000. But after
Richards won, he gave $10,000 to
help retire her campaign debt.
Even lobbyist Billy Clayton, a close
adviser and major financial contrib
utor who gave more than $9,000 to
Williams, sent Richards a check for
$1,000 after the election, the news
paper reported.
The News, using campaign fi
nance reports filed with the Texas
secretary of state, reviewed contribu
tions of at least $500 in cash or in-
kind contributions reported by Rich
ards and Williams between Jah. 1,
1989, and Jan. 1, 1991.
For Richards, who was outspent in
the contest by the wealthy Midland
businessman, many of the late-train
donations were made at a post-elec
tion fund-raiser at a private club in
Austin.
Richards did not immediately re
turn a telephone call Sunday by the
Associated Press. But a spokesman
said the contributions are a sign of
litical goodwill, not an attempt to
uy influence.

Thousands turn out for JFK movie casting call
DALLAS (AP) — A casting call
for extras to fill roles in a movie on
John F. Kennedy’s assassination
more closely resembled a cattle stam
pede, with an estimated 10,000 ap
plicants.
The man director Oliver Stone
hired to organize Saturday’s audi
tions for the yet-untitled film said he
was elated. About 1,000 people an
hour responded to the casting call at
the Dallas Convention Center.
“We have some really good stuff
here,” said Kevin Howard, a veteran
of “Talk Radio,” another Stone
movie. “We were looking for a lot of
Texas, Texas, Texas people, espe
cially people who were here when
Kennedy was shot.”
Howard did not want to elaborate
on details of the upcoming movie,
but noted that “the rumor is that Ke
vin Costner is going to star, but we
can’t confirm anything yet.”
Aspiring actors queued up at the
center as two casting assistants
moved among them, deciding who
would get to read for one of 199
speaking parts to be cast.
Those not chosen were still eligi
ble for one of 2,000 nonspeaking
roles. All will learn the outcome next
week, and could return for another
elimination round.
Kennedy, the 35th U.S. president,
was slain by an assassin on Nov. 22,
1963 as his motorcade traveled
through downtown Dallas. Lee Har
vey Oswald allegedly fired the fatal
shots from the former Texas School
Book Depository.
That building has since been re
stored, and the Sixth Floor Museum
opened in what is now the Dallas
County Administration Building.
