News Briefs
ACLU, city council
object to strip club
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATON ROUGE, La. — The
Gold Club, a recently opened
strip club that is the target of
some members of the city’s
Metro Council, also is falling
under fire from the American
Civil Liberties Union.
The club’s operators contend
their strip shows are protected
by the U.S. Constitution.
But the ACLU says the club
is violating Louisiana law
because it bars women from
entering alone.
The club bars unescorted
women because management
does not want angry wives or
girlfriends searching for their
partners, said Howard Klubeck,
executive vice president for
Dallas-based Entertainment
Corporation of America, which
owns the club.
Allegations trip up
Austin police work
AUSTIN — Mounting errors
and potential misconduct by
Austin police are prompting a
review of all 90 pending
homicide cases.
Travis County District
Attorney Ronnie Earle and
Police Chief Elizabeth Watson
said some cases may be
jeopardized by the alleged
misconduct.
Watson, who only recently
was named chief, said she was
stunned by the situation.
Bush offers budget
with no new taxes
WASHINGTON — In a
departure from recent outgoing
presidents, President Bush will
submit a bare-bones federal
budget in January that will seek
no new tax or spending
changes, administration and
congressional officials said
Tuesday.
Instead, the unusually brief
document will summarize what
fiscal policy has looked like
during the Bush administration
and simply project what the
1994 budget would look like
without any of the changes
President-elect Clinton is
certain to make. Fiscal 1994
begins next Oct. 1.
State Department
official dismissed
WASHINGTON — Seeking
to end a simmering political
embarrassment, President Bush
on Tuesday dismissed the State
Department official who initiated
a pre-election search for
passport records of Gov. Bill
Clinton and Ross Perot.
Bush telephoned Acting
Secretary of State Lawrence
Eagleburger and accepted
Eagleburger’s recommendation
that Assistant Secretary of State
Elizabeth Tamposi be relieved
of her duties, department
spokesman Richard Boucher
said.
Other officials said Bush's
call was prompted by a story in
Tuesday's editions of the
Washington Post alleging that,
after searching files for
information on Clinton,
department officials looked for
material on Perot as well.
Eagleburger ordered an
investigation Oct. 19 after press
reports of the search of
Clinton’s files. It was later
disclosed a search of the files of
Clinton’s mother also had been
ordered.
Lawmaker lines up
votes for election
AUSTIN —- Rep. Pete Laney,
a Hale Center farmer and state
lawmaker for 20 years, Tuesday
said he has lined up pledges
from enough current and future
House members to be elected
the next speaker.
Laney, a Democrat who has
chaired the House State Affairs
Committee, released a list of 86
lawmakers who he said have
committed to vote for him when
the 1993 Legislature convenes
in January.
He pledged to change House
rules that many lawmakers
consider too restrictive - such
as reforming the secretive
Calendars Committee.
Two Russians train
at NASA for voyage
SPACE CENTER, Houston
— Two Russian cosmonauts
said Tuesday that they are
beginning to feel right at home
as they train at NASA’s Johnson
Space Center for a mission
aboard the space shuttle
Discovery.
One will be chosen to fly
aboard Discovery on a research
mission scheduled for
November 1993. The voyage
will be the first U.S.-Russian
space endeavor since 1975.
Week focuses on
women’s addiction
AUSTIN — Women addicted
to drugs and alcohol face fears
not shared by men and require
more gender-based recovery
programs, a group of experts
said Tuesday while kicking off
Women's Addiction Awareness
Week.
Lynn Hatcher Lipshy, a
member of the Texas
Commission on Alcohol said
having a week to focus on
women and addiction will
hopefully raise consciousness
about the problem.
