A Chicago newspaper
published an article under the
heading "Clumsy forgeries

The story listed 47 suspect
signatures for voters listed as
living in the Arcade Hotel, a
skid-row flophouse on West

But he wasn't
said. "Farmers taking part in
PIK will also avoid some

Report shows White
spent 98.9 million
AUSTIN, Tosas (AP) — A new cam-
paign report shows Mark White spent
(8.9 million to win the governor's race
and has received 90 donations from
contributors who previously sup-
ported Republican Bill Clements.
A report filed Monday with the
secretary of state's office shows
White, who took office today, received
*10.9 million in contributions during
1982, enough to cover his estimated
campaign debt of *2 million
White spent *1.9 million in his race,
the report said.
Previous reports filed by Clements
show he raised and spent *13.3 million
in his unsuccessful bid for re-election.
That amount includes *3 million in
loans that Clements plans to repay
himself.
White's report included the names
of 90 donors, some of whom previously-
had supported Clements, who gave
White (10,000 or more in a two-week
period immediately after Thanksgiv-
ing.
Among the Texans who previously
supported Clements’ campaign finan-
cially and later gave to White were
Clements' close friend. Dallas oilman
Edwin Cox Jr.; Houston construction
magnate George Brown and Dallas
businessman W O Bankston
Cox gave *10.000; Brown. *20,000;
and Bankston, *19.500: according to
the reports.
Another former Clements supporter
was Houston developer Bob Perry,
whose political action committee con-
tributed *50,000 to White's organiza-
tion
The Big Armored Centipede, with
five attached station wagons and a
guardrail bolted to ana side, acta as a
fence between workers and moving
traffic, said Hunter Garrison, district
maintenance engineer for the Texas
Department of Highways and Public
Transportation.
But the barrier, acquired in
January by the Houston office of the
highway department, was sidelined
almost before it could be used because
of work cutbacks
"We found it is applicable to
Houston, but we reduced a lot of our
highway work for a while and couldn’t
use it," Garrison said. "Now we are
doing more and will certainly use it
more."
The return of the Centipede is a
welcome sight for highway depart-
ment workmen. who must perform
their duties in the midst of high-speed
traffic.
"Our employees say they felt this is
the safest thing we've ever used."
Garrison said. The peace of mind of
the workers is just as important I've
had some say. It looks funny but I'm
sure happy it's there ’"
The Centipede was developed by
Don Ivey. Hayes Ross and Ted
Hirsch, researchers at the Texas
Transportation Institute at Texas
A&M University.

HOUSTON (AP) - Houston draft-
sman LaVerne Achenbach says the
competitive urge that drove him and
his wheelchair across the finish line of
Sunday's Houston-Tenneco Marathon
came to him only after his legs were
partially paralyzed in an auto acci-
dent.
"I never really had any goals before
the accident like I do now," said
Achenbach, who finished the 26.2-mile
course in 2 hours, 21 minutes
“I had a job in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
where I am from." he said Monday
"I used to go to drag races and liked
photography But I was never
motivated like I am now."
Achenbach was the only wheelchair
marathoner in the field of 3,500.
He said he found sports helped lift
the gloom that followed the accident
"There was a lune when I had quite
a bit of depression before I got into
athletics," said Achenbach, who had
never competed in athletics before his
accident. “I didn't know how life was
going to affect me
"It really struck me after the acci-
dent that I couldn 't do things the way I
had done them I decided to do as
much as I could with what I had left "
He started out with bowling, then
progressed to wheelchair basketball
softball and finally racing.
Achenbach now has his sights set on
the Orange Bowl marathon in Miami
this weekend
From there, his goals include com-
peting in the national wheelchair
games in Hawaii in June and in 1964
he would like to be a part of the United
States team in the Wheelchair Olym-
pics on the University of Illinois cam-
pus.
The Internal Revenue Ser-
vice had developed a new
simplified tax form for single
taxpayers, called Form
1040E2. The IRS says that, as
the name implies the 1040EZ
is a brief, simple-to-complete
tax form
The IRS estimates that
over 20 million taxpayers will
be eligible to use the new
form. For example, most col-
lege students who file federal
individual income tax returns
will be eligible to use the
1040EZ even if they are
claimed as dependents on
another taxpayer's return
To use the 1040EZ, a tax
payer must be single, claim
only one personal exemption,
and claim no exemptions for
children or other dependents
All income must come from
wages, salaries, tips, and no
more than (400 in interest

A senes of three short
power interruptions were
followed by the blackout. Nix-
on said the three short
blackouts were due to the
breaker that feeds the line re-
closing the line three times
automatically before shutting
the power off
Some 2.000 people in the
REC service area were af-
fected by the outage, which
basically covered an area

An accident just north of
town near the Elks Lodge
building on Highway 385 had
nothing to do with the power
outage according to Nixon.

occurance," Nixon said of the
vandalism to the insulators

DETROIT 1 AP I It was

thern cities
Unlike the ancient Col-

B.C., Detroit's Renaissance
Center is in no danger of top-

hard times
The highly publicized com-

Detroit
Ford's caution was well-
founded
Although the center served
as headquarters for the 1980
Republican National Conven-
tion as well as the 1962 Na-
tional Football League Super
Bowl game, the complex
struggled to attract people
I think generally.
Renaissance Center has had
some positive effects on
downtown, but not nearly
enough to overcome the ab-
solutely awful economy
says Gary Sands, assoc late
professor of urban planning
at Detroit's Wayne State
University it brought a lot
of people downtown to see it
But apparently not enough
have come back
Last April, nearly five
years to the day of the formal
dedication, Ford announced

was 15 percent less than last
January's.
Bullock also sent January

Ford first proposed the
center on Nov 24, 1971 Eigh-

Amid the optimism, he cau-
