Judge Grants Delay in Davis Murder Case
The judge in the Cullen Davis case approved another one week continuance, setting October 30 for the trial in Houston. State District Judge Wallace Moore gave no reasons beyond honoring the defense motion as prosecutors seek time for experts to examine recordings used as evidence. Davis, accused of soliciting the capital murder of the judge in his divorce case, had the trial moved from Fort Worth to Houston for an impartial jury.

Carter to unveil anti inflation program on prime time TV
President Carter plans a televised fireside chat Tuesday to present a wage and price guideline driven anti inflation package. Unions would cap wage growth at seven percent in year one and business bids at five point seven five percent with lower income workers exempt. A 40 member council on wage and price stability will expand to monitor compliance, using carrot and stick measures through procurement and regulations. Officials acknowledge enforcement may invite court challenges while government hiring faces a partial freeze to curb spending. Inflation is now seen near eight percent for the year.
