Stolen
Relief
Charged
COCOA, Fla. (AP) — An
American physician has ac
cused Honduran officials of
keeping the best food, clothing
and medical supplies flown into
the flood-ravaged country for
hungry and sick villagers.
“We saw tons of food deliv
ered to the local commandant
but never saw the people get
ting anything more than beans
and rice,” Dr. Edward Austin
of Cocoa said after returning
from a two-week mission to the
village of Cuyamel near the
Honduras-Guatemala border.
“The people got only picked-
over clothing. We saw govern
ment officials and the upper
class wearing newer clothes
and what was left over—the
ratty stuff—being worn by the
people.”
Austin’s wife Sara, a
physical therapist, said
patients told her food was
confiscated by local authorities
and school teachers, who then
gave each family—regardless
of size — one pound of rice, a
half-pound of beans and one
pound of lard to last two weeks.
Austin, 40, said he was told
government officials were tak
ing the supplies to sell on the
black market but added he had
no firsthand knowledge
because he was not allowed
into military areas.
“Our interpreters told us the
officials would hold the food
and, when the bad times hit,
sell it back to the people at the
price of gold,” he said.
The Austins were part of a
relief team sent by St. Mark’s
Episcopal Church in Cocoa,
Which has sister churches in
Honduras.
In Washington, Red Cross
spokeswoman Dorothy Taafe
said she had talked to one of
five American disaster relief
specialists in Honduras on Fri
day and “they were getting all
the supplies we sent.
“It’s just one of those ru
mors, I think. I wouldn’t put
any credibility in it,” she said
of the Austins’ charges.
William Dalton, a
spokesman for the Agency for
International Development,
said: “This is the first I’ve
heard of such a thing. We
thought the Hondurans had
been doing a pretty good job.”
Hurricane Fifi struck the
Honduran coast on Sept. 19,
killing thousands of persons,
leaving many thousands home
less and causing millions of
dollars in damage.
Both Parties
Worry About
Voter Turnout
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) -
Domecratic Gov. Dolph
Briscoe and Republican Jim
Cranberry began their last
month of the general election
campaign with both sides
worrying about voter turnout.
Some Republicans are pre
dicting^ and hoping, the vote
will be as low as 1.5 million out
of the estimated 5.3 million eli
gible voters. Other GOP fore
casters think it will be more
like 1.6 or 1.8 million.
Democrats, who think their
already strong chance improve
as the turnout grows, see a vot
er turnout Nov. 5 larger than
the 1.58 million that voted in
both the Democratic and Re
publican primaries May 4.
The political speculators
think the Republican’s best
chance of a victory in the gov
ernor’s race would come with a
very light turnout and with
Raza Unida candidate Ramsey
Muniz polling enough votes to
affect the outcome. Muniz got
214,000 votes in 1972, a presi
dential election year
A total of 3.4 million Texans
voted in 1972, when Briscoe and
Republican Henry Grover ran
a hot, close race for the gover
norship. Only 2.3 million voted
in 1970. A non-presidential
election year.
Cranberry started his last
month of campaigning with a
visit Sunday to the Midland-
Odessa area with Sen. John
Tower, R—Tex, joining the
campaign tour. After visits
Monday to Houston and Port
Arthur and Tuesday to Ixmg-
view and Tyler, Cranberry will
be joined by Tower again for a
fund-raising reception in
Dallas Tuesday night. Wed
nesday, Cranberry will be in
Dallas and Sherman, Thursday
in Fort Worth, Frida in Lub
bock and Odessa, and Saturday
in Pampa.
Briscoe planned to concen
trate on the highly industrial
upper Gulf Coast area with vis
its Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday to Houston.
