Trial begins in draft case with protester’s plan
Paul Jacob, 25, of North Little Rock, faces federal trial for refusing to register for the draft. He plans to summon Selective Service System Director Thomas Turnage and Libertarian candidate Ed Clark to testify, arguing prosecution targets his anti registration stance. Turnage is to testify Tuesday. Clark arrived to support the case and argue that registration aims to reinstate the draft. Jacob has been free on a $75,000 bond since pleading innocent in December 1984.

New LULAC President vows local focus and agenda shift
Oscar Moran, a 40 year old San Antonio entrepreneur and insurance regulator, elected president of LULAC says the group will emphasize tangible local issues, membership growth in California and the Midwest, and a clear agenda while still advocating bilingual education and measures against an immigration bill penalizing employers. He aims for a nonpartisan image and sees LULAC as the potential lead in the Hispanic movement through the 1980s. Moran opposes direct U.S. troop intervention in Central America and plans limited trips abroad.
