The Odessa American from Odessa, Texas • 14

1 4 A THF ODESSA AMERICAN Thursday. March 3. 1988 on plain visit By Hank Murphy The American White House hopeful Jesse Jackson is expected to try again at becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to step foot in Ector County, and at the same time call for a tax on imported oil. The 47-year-old Baptist minister and civil rights activist is scheduled to arrive in Midland at 12:30 p.m. He is expected to speak at a rally for 30 minutes at the Petro Jet hangar at Midland International Airport.

After the rally, Jackson is scheduled to take a brief tour of Ector County to see an auction barn, abandoned buildings and crippled businesses left in the wake of the oil bust, said K.T. McLeaish, Ector County Democratic chairwoman. Russell Autry, chief executive officer and economic development director of the Greater Odessa Chamber of Commerce, said this morning that besides negatives factors in the local economy, "there's quite a different story to be told here." Autry said he will make sure to get material to Jackson's staff that shows "some of the good things happening here," and will ask that any negative remarks about Odessa be balanced with positive statements. McLeaish, president of the Texas Democratic County Chairman's Association and Jackson's local campaign coordinator, said Jackson's visit to Odessa is an atonement of sorts for his December no-show. Jackson canceled his Dec.

14, 1987, visit after his plane developed mechanical trouble in Las A crowd of about 1,500 waited at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin for the presidential hopeful. Despite Friday's planned "whirlwind tour," Jackson "will see how hard we've been hit," McLeaish said, adding the candidate will seize the opportunity to call for a fee on imported petroleum. Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt has been the only other presidential candidate to support such a fee. On the heels of surprising second-place finishes in the Minnesota and Maine caucuses and Vermont's non-binding primary, McLeaish claimed that Jackson's county support is "phenomenal." McLeaish said Jackson's support no longer is limited to blacks, noting his strong north- era showing "proves he's got the correct message" while heading to the South, regarded as a Jackson stronghold.

Gene Collins, president of the Odessa chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Wednesday that many people still wonder whether a black candidate can be elected. But apparently, he said, many voters now are realizing that Jackson is a viable candidate for the presidency. "People are listening to him, they're just not looking at him as a black candidate anymore." if 11 jra.r 1 Jackson acks another Boulter battles Bentsen Tl FRIDAY Gl SATURDAY Pi Two Days Only! Diamond Anniversary Band AUSTIN (AP) Republican U.S. Senate contender Beau Boulter has called on incumbent Democratic Sen. Lloyd Bentsen to voluntarily limit his campaign spending.

Boulter, one of four GOP candidates on next Tuesday's primary ballot, said Bentsen should adhere to limits set in a Senate measure that Bentsen co-sponsored. Progress of the bill has been stalled by Republican opposition. "The argument by all the sponsors, and I assume it's Sen. Bentsen's argument as well, is that too much money might tend to corrupt and might give some powerful senators too much access to special interest groups," Boulter said Wednesday at a Capitol news conference. He said Bentsen should spend limit campaign spending to $5.8 million.

Reports have indicated Bentsen could spend approximately $10 million. Boulter, an Amarillo congressman, said Bentsen would be in "an embarrassing position" of exceeding the limits proposed in a bill he co-sponsored. Boulter opposes the bill because it offers federal money for Senate races. A Bentsen spokesman in Washington decried Boulter's comments on spending limits. "Mr.

Boulter opposes campaign finance Sen. Bentsen supports it. Talk about hypocrisy," said Jack DeVore, a Bentsen spokesman. Boulter called on Bentsen to return approximately $2.5 million in contributions, including $900,000 in donations from political action committees. 1 carat total weight diamond band Traditional five diamond anniversary band with 1 4k gold setting.

Results from an autopsy should be available in about three weeks, reports said. Gibson said the case is being treated as a homicide, and although no suspects have been identified, a composite drawing has been made by the department.

However, the Sheriff's Department refused to release the composite drawing.

In polycottoii, sizes Jerry Lovell ECISD Trustee Jerry Lovell said there are a "couple of issues" he wants to address if elected to the at large position of the Ector County Independent School Board, but he isn't "ready to talk about them yet." Lovell, 46, filed Tuesday for the at large position, currently held by Mickey Jones, who has said he will not seek another term.

Board members serve six-year terms. Thus far, Lovell faces Odessa businessmen Phil Fouche and Tommy Salmon and Board President Vickie Gomez, a Place 4 representative who had to vacate that position because she moved out of the district. Filing deadline for candidates is March 23. "I've lived here a long time and just want to repay a debt," Lovell said. "This has been home for 44 years and I have no desire to go anywhere else.

I think serving on the school board would give me a chance to do something for a city that has been so great to me." Lovell said he has mixed feelings about the proposed $9.8 million bond issue to finance three new elementary schools and 17 classrooms. Lovell said he is more concerned about making sure the district hires qualified teachers than he is with building more schools. Lovell is the general manager of KGEE, an FM country music radio station. He said he has been active as a volunteer in the Palmer Drug Abuse program. He graduated from Odessa High School in 1959 and attended Odessa College.
