Edwin Edwards. The question today was whether it will stand up. Baton Rouge attorney Ted Schirmer, founder of Recall '92, enthusiastically embraced a ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that his volunteers may circulate recall petitions to within 100 feet of Louisiana's 4,022 polling places during next week's election.

At the same time, the 5th Circuit refused to let Louisiana officials strictly enforce a state law banning any sort of politics within 600 feet of polling places on Nov, 3. A spokeswoman said Attorney General to political activity not related to any matter on the ballot have limited relevance to the core concerns relied on (in a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling), which were protecting the integrity of the ballot from fraud and intimidation," the judges said in a 13-page opinion. "Persons conducting political activity not related to a matter on the ballot have no incentive to attempt to prevent people from voting or to affect how they vote at the polling place, and the voters are certainly less likely to perceive that the activities of such persons are aimed at their voting or how they might vote in the polling place." The state's highest court told the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that such activity violates Louisiana's election code.

Wiltz's program was titled "Brave Men and fast Airplanes" and focused on the 1930s aviation era when Richard Ieyoub will decide today whether to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. Schirmer's suit challenging the 600-foot no-politicking zone names Edwards, Ieyoub and Secretary of State Fox McKeithen as defendants. A panel of three judges from the 5th Circuit said the 100-foot zone should be adequate for the recall group or, for that matter, any other group promoting an initiative not on the Nov.

3 ballot. It specified, however, that solicitations must be done "in a peaceable, quiet and orderly manner." Without ruling on the constitutionality of the law itself, the judges said they were banning strict enforcement just for this election and only because of the persuasive case made by Recall '92, which wants to recall Edwards for various reasons. The recall group claimed it was unreasonable and unconstitutional to prohibit their signature-gathering near polling places Nov. 3 because the recall initiative is not on that ballot. Judges Will Garwood of Austin, Texas; W.

Eugene Davis of Lafayette, and Edith Jones of Houston unanimously agreed the ban seemed at least unreasonable this time. Relaxing the 600-foot boundary shouldn't influence how anyone might vote in this election, they said. "Although the state has offered some justifications for the six hundred foot extent of its prohibited zone, these justifications as applied OIKPlHDJB $2.5 million dome carpet bid on hold Old Tyme Ceiling Fan Shoppe Inc. of St. Bernard Parish.

Bagert said only four companies were invited to bid "and three of them never intended to bid." In addition to Facility Management, named as defendants are Gov. Edwin Edwards, the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District and the winning bidder. Under state law, defendants could be fined up to $150,000 each if a court finds the bid law was violated, Bagert said. But Bagert said that Ieyoub's opinion is in error because the law empowering the governor to contract out management of the stadium requires public bidding. The suit alleges that under the law, such contracts must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder on the basis of specifications that do not require the use of specific brands or materials.

The suit said the carpet contract was awarded under specifications that gave an unfair advantage to NEW ORLEANS (AP) A state judge on Thursday temporarily forbade operators of the Louisiana Superdome to award floor-covering contracts totaling more than $2.5 million. The ruling came in response to a suit filed by former state Sen. Ben Bagert Jr. on behalf of three businesses he 6aid could have submitted lower bids but were not permitted to do so. State District Judge George Connolly issued a temporary restraining order barring Facility Management, the private company that operates the stadium for the state, from awarding the contracts.

Connolly set a court hearing for Nov. 5 "There's a can of worms and we need to pry the lid off," Bagert said. Robert Johnson, an official with Facility Management, said his company's position is that it is not subject to the bid law. He cited an attorney general's opinion supporting that view. Attorney General Richard Ieyoub issued an opinion July 23 that Facility Management is not obligated to comply with the bid law in awarding contracts for Superdome work.

The action will be final only if a majority of the committee signs on. Such a change would alleviate most of the complaints that have come up, State Police spokesman Hamilton Mixon said.
