Yarbrough Lawyer Wants
Things Handled ‘Fairly’
Carr said he did not even
vote for Yarbrough, but Yar-
brough “knew that I was sym-
pathetic with his problems.
How did he know?"
AUSTIN, Tea. (API - For-
mer Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr,
the lawyeT for recently elected
Texas Supreme Court nominee
Don Yarbrough, says he gets
satisfaction out of representing
people abused by the govern-
ment and others.
The State Bar is attempting
to disbar Yarbrough, the con-
troversial Houston lawyer who
was elected to a six-year term and satisfaction out of repre- TIE
over^write-in opposition in No- anting people who are being ™^/ned More Apnl at **
abused by MB
He was extremely upset at
the refusal of some of his col-
leagues to help him because he
could not pay the legal fees
they asked.
Asked why he was taking on
the Yarbrough case, Carr said
Yarbrough has been “abused
by people in government."
'VIGILANTE MOVE’
I told him I was, some time'
ago,” Carr replied,
Carr said a jury trial would
be “vital” to Yarbrough’s
__, . . .chances in court, and he added
get agreat deal of interest that the case probably would
vember
Yarbrough is also the target
of 15 civil lawsuits.
Carr was hired after the
.State Bar began its disbarment
■ proceedings against Yarbrough,
who is to he sworn in Nei&
Year s Day ,
• Carr said he wants the .pro-
ceedings against Yarbrough to
be handled fairly.
I think Pd call on the lead-
ers of the bar to let this thing
cool, let this thing be tried in a
fair manner" Carr said on the
weekly television show, "Capi-
tal Eye.'
Carr represented himself in
two criminal trials in federal
court on charges of fraud and
conspiracy, that grew out of the
Sharpstown Bank scandal and
was acquitted in both trials.
the government
by other people," Carr said.
Because of comments by
members of the bar that Yar-
brough is "unfit," Carr said,
If we're not careful, we’ll
have a vigilante move in the
bar."
He said Yarbrough's "con-
stitutional right to a fair trial is
very seriously threatened” in
Houston and Austin. Carr ap-
parently was referring to the
widespread 1 publicity and re-
marks by bar members in
those cities.
Asked if Yarbrough was able]
to pay him, Carr said, “I be-
lieve Mr. Yarbrough when he
gets where he can will pay me,
but quite frankly, no, I don’t
think he has enough money to
pay me a fee at this time "
earliest
"I don’t credit anyone that’s
attacking Mr. Yarbrough for
being less than in good faith,”
Carr said. "I think they believe
what they are doing. The
only thing I'm objecting (to) is
not their right to speak but the
fact that if we’re not careful
we’re gonna destroy Mr. Yar-
brough's constitutional right,
which we all have, to a fair
trial, and we have to prevent
that.
And the bar, above all
people, should prevent that
from happening."

Written by Ernest Kinoy, this
well-paced, tightly-edited show
starts with the terrorists’ June
27 hijacking of an Air France
jumbo jet with more than 250
persons aboard.
The Tel Aviv-to-Paris Sight
makes a brief stop in Athens,
Greece, where lax airport se-
curity permits the hijackers
to board the ship with hidden
guns and grenades.
And the terror starts mo-
ments after takeoff as the Ger-
man leader of the terrorists,
brilliantly played by Helmut
Berger, dashes into the cockpit ing
and sets into motion the events
that led to the Entebbe raid.
’WORLD ATTENTION’ '
“We're not blood-thirsty mur-
derers, no matter what the

say," he tells the passengers
over the intercom of the plane
when it lands at Entebbe after
a refueling stop in Libya.
He says the hijacking aims at

that could be too expensive.
That hotel room is-being paid
