Bush mans phones to help candidates
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — President Bush worked the telephones yesterday, calling British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, five Republican candidates around the country and a Houston woman whose name he picked from the telephone book on a dare.
"You won't believe this, but this is the president of the United States," he told a woman he identified as Mary Johnson, Houston resident. He worked at the polls, at the polling operation, trying to get people out to vote.
Bush told the woman he hoped she would vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams, as well as for other Republicans.
The woman told reporters later that she was a registered Democrat, had voted for Democratic presiden-
trial candidate Michael Dukakis in 1988 and planned to vote for Democratic Texas gubernatorial candidate Ann Richards.
"I just told him I was going to vote," Johnson said. "I didn't tell him who I was going to vote for."
Bush made the call as he spent a low-key day pursuing both diplomacy and politics by telephone in his home in Cedar, where he will vote Tuesday.
In the morning, he telephoned Thatcher for what White House spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said in discussion of Persian Gulf strategy.
Bush also made pep talks by telephone to separate rallies for two Republican candidates in Nebraska and each in Utah, Maryland and Alaska.
Elections could decide fate of next Congress
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Tomorrow's elections will affect the next Congress beyond the marginal changes in power of power between the two parties.
Whether he deserves it or not, House Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash, will find his stature enhanced
if the Democrats, as expected, take some seats away from the Republicans.
In the Senate, where the Democrats now hold a 55-45 majority and little change is anticipated, the results will boost either Democrat Judge George Mitchell of Maine or Republican leader Bob Dole of Kansas.

Actress Carol Channing, who costarred in Martin's last play, said, "I'm going to spend the rest of my life missing her. There's nobody like her. She's a great lady and a great presence on the stage."
Martin is perhaps best remembered for her portrayal on stage and on television of Peter Pan, the boy who never wanted to grow up.
Mary Martin, 76, dies after long stage career
After a year at the University of Texas, Martin married Benjamin Hagman in 1930. They divorced the following year after the birth of their son Larry, best known for his role as J. R.Ewing on television's "Dallas."

1 p.m. — Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers business meeting, at Alove A in the Kansas Union.
Martin was sensational all her life, whether she was Peter Pan, Nellie Forbush, Annie Oakley or Maria Von Trann.
William Hammerstein, son of Oscar Hammerstein II, who wrote the lyrics for "South Pacific" and "The Sound of Music," said, "The
bright light and good cheer that Mary brought to the world will not fade merely because of her absence.
Martin left Texas to pursue a singing career in California, and she made her professional debut as a nightclub vocalist at the Trocadero in Hollywood. It was there that she was seen by producer Charles Schwab, who put her in Cole Porter's "Leave It to Me."

Martin is survived by her children, Hagman and Heller Halliday DeMerit, six grandchildren, one great-grandchild.
"We need two new roads for Douglas County"
K-10 traffic is growing every year, and Lawrence can't handle more K-10 traffic.
$37 million of federal and state funds for the South Lawrence Trafficway are at stake on November 6.
We worked hard for this money and I don't want to give it back.
Saying no to $37 million would be a giant step in the wrong direction for Lawrence. It would severely hinder our efforts to secure new funds for the Eastern Parkway.
With state and federal money, we can untangle traffic problems for our whole community.
I hope you will join me.
That's why I'm voting yes for both roads November 6.
