Richards praises King, his pioneering
Governor later signs bill into law making civil
rights leader's birthday an official state holiday.
The Associated Press
AUSTIN — Gov. Ann Richards marked the
Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday, saying
Texans won't sit still for racial discrimination.
"We want the world to know that in Texas,
we will not tolerate bigotry nor hatred nor dis
crimination," Richards said.
"In Texas, we live the ideals that this nation
was founded on. And that is that all men and
women were created equal and shall have
equal opportunities," she said.
Richards' remarks came in a speech to sev
eral hundred people who marched in memory
of the slain civil rights leader.
The Austin march, from the Capitol to Hus-
ton-Tillotson College, was one of a number of
events held around the state to honor King.
Richards, who has appointed a record num
ber of minorities to state boards and commis
sions, credited King's civil rights work in the
1960s for helping pave the way for her own
success in politics.
"Three years ago, on the anniversary of his
birth, I stood on the steps of this Capitol and I
took the oath of office of governor of the state
of Texas. I know I would not have been there
without Dr. Martin Luther King's pioneering
work," Richards said.
"When Dr. King opened the door for mi
norities in this nation, he opened the door for
all of us," she said.
Richards said she is proud that during her
term she has signed into law a bill designating
the King birthday an official state holiday and
one that increased penalties for crimes moti
vated by hate.
"We signed the hate crimes bill that said no
longer in Texas will we tolerate action that ex
pressed hatred toward one another. And ih*e
do that, there will be retribution and punish
ment," she said. i
The governor said King's words and deed;
have left a living legacy.
"We today know that Dr. King's dream
continues to sustain and lift us all to highei
ground,” she said. "As we march, we wantthf
world to know that Dr. King's dream sustains
us yet."
Defense readies as ATF
agents begin testimony
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO - With the
firepower of David Koresh's fol
lowers established, prosecutors in
the trial of 11 Branch Davidians
are about to dive into the drama
of a gun battle that killed four fed
eral agents.
Defense attorneys, though, are
plotting interrogations of their
own for agents of the U.S. Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
likely to be called as government
witnesses when testimony re
sumes Tuesday.
"I expect Agent (Roland)
Ballesteros to take the stand on
Tuesday, and I expect the rodeo to
start then," said defense attorney
Dan Cogdell.
Prosecutors have displayed
scores of guns, gun parts and oth
er weapons recovered from the
charred rubble of the Branch Da-
vidian compound near Waco.
Prosecutors estimate 396
weapons were found, including
46 rifles and two other gun parts
classified as "fully automatic
weapons."
Government attorneys were try
ing to prove the Branch Davidians
were "arming an army" in antici
pation of battling federal agents.
Four federal agents were slain
and 16 wounded in the Feb. 28,
1993, a gun fight that erupted as
about 100 ATF agents moved in on
the compound with an arrest war
rant for Koresh. Six Branch Davidi
ans are believed to have died.
Koresh and about 80 followers
later died, on the afternoon of
April 19, 1993, during a raging
fire at the compound after a 51-
day standoff with federal agents
following the shootout.
Eleven surviving Branch Da
vidians are charged with murder
and conspiracy to murder the fed
eral agents.
They could face up to life in
prison if convicted. Some defen
dants face additional weapons
charges.
Their lawyers contend the
Branch Davidians were defending
themselves against a government
raid gone awry.
"Whether or not they were in
side there firing aggressively or
defensively is the whole issue in
this case," said Cogdell, who rep
resents defendant Clive Doyle.
Ballesteros, the ATF agent wk!
reportedly was to make contac!
with Koresh at the front dooro!
the Branch Davidian compound
is expected to testify about wht
fired first.
Defense attorneys intend to
grill Ballesteros about a Mard
statement he gave to Texas
Ranger Clayton Smith that ap
peared to conflict with a late:
statement he gave to Treasury De
partment officials.
The defense also is expected to
emphasize and criticize the type
of ammunition the ATF officers
were armed with that day.
Under cross-examination frort
defense lawyer Douglas Tinker
FBI weapons expert James Cadi
gan testified last week about tk
agents' "Hydroshock" hollow-
point bullets, which open up like
a flower blossom after impact.
"They're designed to wound
kill, destroy whatever they hit,
Cadigan said.
"Whether or not they were inside firing aggres
sively or defensively is the whole issue in this
case."

Malls input dress codes to limit gang violence
Inner-city fashion
restrictions places civil
rights of youth in limbo
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Bandannas, backward base
ball caps, oversize pants — the latest in in
ner-city fashion can be worrisome to shop
ping mall managers.
As fear of gang violence moves into malls
across Texas, some have begun to implement
dress codes and other security measures. But
crime fighters trying to help the businesses
said Monday that juveniles' civil rights are in
jeopardy.
Security officers at four Texas malls trying
to prevent youths from hanging out and get
ting in trouble have issued warning cards for
violations of a posted "code of conduct."
Malls at Port Arthur and Beaumont ban the
wearing of colored bandannas while a Corpus
Christ! shopping center early this month out
lawed the reversing of ball caps.
The key to keeping such dress policies from
running afoul of constitutional guarantees is
uniform enforcement.
But a crime fighting group and a civil rights
organization said that's difficult — even in the
wake of a diner's shooting death.
"Our position is that what they need to be
doing is just being alert to people who may be
crossing the boundary into some form of ille
gal activity," said Joe Cook, northern regional
director of the American Civil Liberties Union
in Dallas.
"Going beyond that, they can probably
legally get away with a dress code. But they
cannot uniformly enforce it. They will instead
enforce it against minorities, and this will vio
late their civil rights."
Terri Moore, deputy chief of the Tarrant
County district attorney's felony division, said
beefing up security should be a malls' main job.
"Just because a certain person has that
look, that doesn't mean he is a gang mem
ber," she said.
Patsy Thomas, executive director of the Tar
rant County Citizens Crime Commission, said
an upcoming seminar for mall officials would
feature defense attorneys' perspectives on ju
veniles' rights.
The commission last week sponsored a Fort
Worth seminar for area mall managers and se
curity officers. Prosecutors and police outlined
gang fighting techniques for representatives of
" ... they can probably legally
get away with a dress code.
But they cannot legally get
away with a dress code. They
will instead enforce it against
minorities, and this will vio
late their civil rights."
-Joe Cook, regional director for the
ACLU in Dallas
10 malls.
"They all felt it was very beneficial to inter
act with other mall personnel — not only secu
rity but management — and they asked about
sharing information. Some had written poli
cies," said Thomas.
Shoppers' safety concerns were heightened
after a Dec. 27 Irving Mall slaying.
Kevin Bacon, who was eating pizza with
his wife and two young daughters, was fatal
ly shot in the head as two groups of teens ex
changed gunfire.
Chicago-based Homart Development Co,
which manages Town East Mall in Mesquite
and operates three other Texas facilities, has
met with Fort Worth prosecutors and partici
pated in security meetings elsewhere.
"This brought to life our 'code of conduct,
which is in place to ensure a pleasant shop
ping experience for customers," said Rick Vita,
Homart regional management director who of
fices at The Parks Mall in Arlington.
Security at Houston's Greenspoint Mail
was tightened after a woman was abducted
from its parking lot in September 1991. She
was later found dead and her attacker has
yet to be caught.
Surveillance cameras positioned inside and
outside the mall monitor activity 24 hours;
day, said Tricia Elwell, a mall spokeswoman.
A Houston police substation was also local
ed at the mall, where the number of security
officers was increased.
"That's going to be expanded in the comin:
year," said Elwell.
She said security officers also monitor tk
mall for signs of gang members.
Customers wearing gang symbols on!
shirts or other clothing worn by members at;
asked to remove them by either turning tk
garment inside out or covering it.
If they refuse, they are asked to leave, El
well said.
Managers at Central Mall in Port Arthur
and Parkdale Mall in Beaumont said safety!
behind their ban of colored bandannas, whicl
they called signs of street gang affiliation.
Central Mall has gotten no formal coir
plaints or statements favoring the ban in tl*
month that it has been in force, said Rust
Schaller, operations manager.
Corpus Christi's Sunrise Mall, which had
gang-related shooting two years ago, to
banned backward ball caps in one of 13 ruk
that security officers say protect tenants art
shoppers.
