Ms. Richards' campaign man-
ager, Glenn Smith, called Mat-
tox’s statement a “ridiculous
claim.” He said that Hernan-
dez, a volunteer for Ms.
Richards, had done nothing
more than ask at Mattox head-
quarters for brochures and
bumper stickers.
Smith also said Frank Castil-
lo, an employee of the attorney
general, had threatened Her-
nandez with loss of his legal
residency status, a lie detector
test and a prison term.
Hernandez, who was bom in
Guadalajara, Mexico, has lived
in Laredo, and for the past five
years, Austin, where he is a
first-year criminal law student
at the community college.
According to Mattox, Her-
nandez came into his downtown
campaign headquarters on
three occasions and claimed to
be a Mattox supporter.
Hernandez later was seen
working at a campaign table for
Ms. Richards at the Mexican-
American Democrats conven-
tion, Mattox told a news confer-
ence. Hernandez admitted he
had been working on Ms.
Richards’ campaign for about
six weeks before coming to Mat-
tox’s headquarters, the attor-
ney general said.
“We are fortunate that he was
discovered before he gained
access to our computers, where
the most important campaign
information is stored,” Mattox
said.

People’s —
voice
And in Detroit, Mayor Cole
man Young is expecting to
brush back a swarm of challen
gers who want to keep him from
capturing a record fifth term in
November.
In the two congressional
races, Democrats are basking
in the support of the leaders
they are trying to succeed.
Although Wright and Coelho
resigned because of alleged
ethics violations, both remain
popular and have been central
figures in the campaigns to fill
their seats.
Wright has campaigned for
Democrat Pete Geren, a Fort
Worth lawyer and former aide
to Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas.
Geren faces Republican Bob
Lanier, a television medical
commentator, who has coun-
tered with endorsements from
President Bush and former Dal-
las Cowboys coach Tom Landry.
Lanier said he initially wor-
ried that Wright’s endorsement
would be a major factor in the
race, but now believes “it hasn’t
been quite as much as we
anticipated.”
Still, he conceded that he’s
“swimming upstream” as a
Republican in a district with a
long history of sending Demo-
crats to Congress.
In California’s San Joaquin
Valley, Coelho has endorsed
Democratic state Assembly-
man Gary Condit in a low-key
race against Republican Clare
Berryhill, a former assembly-
man and state agriculture
chief.
Berryhill and Condit are con-
sidered the leading candidates
among the six running. Unless
one candidate gets more than
SO percent of the vote, there will
be a runoff.

Marine debris study
grant okayed by EPA
WASHINGTON — U. S. Rep.
Greg Laughlin (D-West Colum-
bia) reported Friday the Envir-
onmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has approved $10,000 to
investigate the unethical prx i pf^gd one of the Gulf of Mexico's
tices of her campaign staff and
dismiss those on her payroll
who are responsible for the
misdoings,” Mattox said. “We
fully expect a full apology from
the Richards campaign.”
When asked about Mattox’s
demand for an apology,
Richards laughed, then added,
“I didn’t have anything to do
with it”
Hernandez said he went by
the Mattox campaign head-
quarters twice, once at the invi-
tation of a Mattox campaign
worker, because “I was just a
curious person.”
Asked about his window seat
at the restaurant, Hernandez
said, "Everybody would like to
sit by the window. Who wants to
sit by the bathroom?”
Hernandez said he never
asked about computers and
never filled out a volunteer
form for Mattox.
Hernandez said Castillo
came to his house Sunday night
and said, “’Carlos, if you don’t
cooperate with us, you may lose
your legal status, the right to
become a citizen. And you also
are going to need some
lawyers.”’

programs that focuses on mar-
ine debris in the Gulf of Mexico.
The project Is the “Inventory
of Sources of Information
About Marine Debris Pertain-
ing to the Gulf of Mexico and the
Production of a Public Service
Announcement (PSA) to Edu-
cate About Marine Debris.”
Marine debris was selected
as the priority issue of study
because of its adverse impact
on environmental and econom-
ic resources along the Gulf of
Mexico. Marine debris
threatens the lives of fish and
wildlife, which Include endan-
gered species; it is a potential
danger to boaters and divers,
which adversely affects tour
ism; and It causes economic los-
ses due to cleanup costs.
“It is important to have the
public involved in measures
that will help and preserve and
protect our coastal regions,”
the congressman said. “This is a
positive step toward achieving
a cleaner and safer coastline
for both human and marine
life."
The primary focus of the PSA
is to inform the public who

Koch, has turned into a clif-
fhanger between the brash
mayor and his soft-spoken
challenger
Koch sent out an SOS call to
his supporters Monday, saying
he needed a big turnout to win
his party's nomination for an
unprecedented fourth term.
“I’m saying to everybody who
understands that expression: ’I
need you. Come out tomorrow.
Vote for me. Mayday! May-
day!,’” Koch said at a lunchtime
rally.
At a school dedication, Koch
pulled Dinkins aside to call for
a unity rally on Wednesday, no
matter who wins.
“I think that’s a nice gesture,”
said a smiling Dinkins, who is
the Manhattan borough presi-
dent. “I mean, he recognizes
that the likelihood i| that I’m
going to succeed, and he offers
to help me, I think that's fine.”
Koch said it was important
for his party to work on defeat-
ing Republican Rudolph Giu-
liani, the former federal prose-
cutor who leads cosmetic heir
Ronald Lauder in the GOP race.
In Detroit Young faces a
dozen challengers, including
Rep. John Conyers, a 12-tenn
Democratic congressman who
says Young has been mayor too
long.
Conyers, who like Young is
black, has benefited from the
vocal support of Jesse Jackson,
who exhorted a crowd Monday
to “keep hope alive” by voting
for Conyers.
A poll released Sunday
showed Young well In front
with Conyers running neck-
and-neck with accountant Tom
Barrow for second place. The
top two finishers advance to
November’s general election.
When you think of a cat what
comes to mind? A sleek, stealth-
y hunter? A lovable chow-
bound who seldom leaves the
comfort of the house? An inde-
pendent type of animal, who
doesn’t need any special care?
The first two are often true, the
third is not Like all pets, cats
require adequate food, water,
’ shelter and, despite what many
cat owners believe, veterinary
care.
According to a recent survey
of pet owners, 40 percent of the
cat owners in the United States
do not take their pet for routine
veterinary care. This puts the
pet at risk for two reasons.
First, if exposed to diseases for
which the cat is not vaccinated,
serious or life-threatening ill-
ness can result. Even indoor
cats are occasionally exposed,
since many infectious germs
are in trhe air or can be tracked
inon your shoes. All cats should
be vaccinated against panleu-
kopenia (distemper), pneumo-
nitis, calicivirus, feline
leukemia, rhinotracheitis, and
rabies. Initially they get a
series of shots a few weeks
apart, then annual boosters.
Since diseases such as rabies
and feline leukemia cannot be
successfully treated after your
’■ pet contracts them, providing
protection is of vital
• importance.
Another reason for regular
check-ups is the fact that cats
are experts at hiding the fact
that they are not feeling well. It
is a defense mechanism left
over from their days in the wild,
when looking sick was an invi-
tation to trouble from other ani-
mals. On average, by the time
you notice your cat is obviously
» ill, it is in more serious condi-
tion than a dog showing the
same signs. Which brings us to
- our topic for the day.
September is Cat Health
Month, begun by the American
' Veterinary Medical Associa-
tion and the 9-Lives spokescat,
Morris the Cat, to help raise
public awareness of the need
for regular preventive care for
eats. Are you one of the many
Americans who didn't know
their cat had the same needs for
annual examination and vacci-
nation as their dog? Re-
evaluate your feline friend's
health care program, and per-
haps we can ensure medical
equality for your pet. If your cat
has not been vaccinated or exa-
mined in the past year, think
seriously about getting it done.

AUSTIN (AP) — To Attorney
General Jim Mattox, the
21-year-old college student was
a spy who used a window seat at
a Chinese restaurant to check
on Mattox’s political
headquarters.
But the student, Evaristo
“Carlos” Hernandez, says he
was just a curious spectator.
Mattox on Monday accused
state Treasurer Ann Richards'
gubernatorial campaign staff of
engaging in “Watergate-style
spying” on his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for
governor.
“Ann Richards has lost con-
trol of her campaign, and
they’ve panicked,” Mattox said.
He has not yet announced for
governor but is a likely oppo-
nent to Ms. Richards in the 1990
Democratic primary.
Mattox said Hernandez pur-
posely misled his campaign
staff to gain access to confiden-
tial documents.
“Luckily, he was not the
smoothest secret agent, which
is why we caught him,” Mattox
said.
Ms. Richards, in Waco Mon-
day night for a speech to the
Hispanic Chamber of Commer-
ce, called the news conference
“a pathetic, pathetic attempt to
State files
drug tax lien
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas com-
ptroller’s officers have placed a
lien on property and other
assets of a man they say owes
the state more than $40,000 in
taxes on marijuana police
claimed to have found in his
car.
Larry Dockwiller, 33,
appeared last week before a
Georgetown judge on charges of
possession of marijuana, a Wil-
liamson County jailer said.
The comptroller's office has
placed a lien on all assets and
property owned by the Austin
man, John Bender of the com-
ptroller’s tax information
office said Monday.
Dockwiller is the first person
accused of tax evasion under a
new state drug tax law that went
into effect Sept. 1, Bender said.
Dockwiller owes the state
$38,104.90 in back taxes, plus a
penalty of $1,909.23 for not buy-
ing required drug stamps, he
said.
But a public defenders*
spokesman says Dockwiller is
being denied due process by
facing loss of property before
he is tried for an offense.
“I think anyone who believes
in due process would say, ’Let’s
have some proof he’s guilty'
before they take his property,”
said John Boston, executive
director of the Criminal
Defense Lawyers* Project.
“This needs to be done in a logi-
cal, legal manner.
"The tax is only owed if you
prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that a person is a drug
dealer — or at least a posses
sor,” Boston said. “If he’s con-
victed, then we don’t have any
problem with thaL”
But Williamson County dis-
trict attorney Ken Anderson
said Dockwiller is not being
denied due process, adding
that the comptroller's office
offered him the chance to plead
that he does not owe the tax.
