Only rains, floods
remain of Amelia

SAN ANTONIO — The remains
of the hurricane season’s first tropi
cal storm buffeted drought-dry
South Texas Tuesday with almost a
half-foot of rain and produced flash
floods from Austin to the Mexican
border.
A spokesman for the National
Weather Sevice in San Antonio said
the rains — a welcome sight for
Texas ranchers and farmers —
would probably continue through
Thursday.
Amelia, whose winds reached as
high as 70 mph before she died out
on the lower Texas coast, produced
no deaths or injuries despite the
scare she produced when she sud
denly was upgraded from a tropical
depression into a major storm Sun
day.
Amelia — or what was left of her
— produced more than 5 inches of
rain near San Antonio during the
night, causing flooding throughout
the city. Similar large accumulations
were reported from Laredo to Aus
tin.
“What’s left of it (Amelia) is out
west of Austin and San Antonio,”
the NWS spokesman said. “It’s so
diffuse, it’s hard to tell.
“The general remnants are in the
general vicinity of Del Rio (south
west of San Antonio). It’s about
stalled out now and that’s why we
are getting all this rain. That will
keep the threat of rain up through
today and probably tomorrow.”
Amelia had defied earlier predic
tions that it would not develop be
yond a tropical depression.

^ ■WASHINGTON — The Penta-
^i s plan of shuttling 200 missiles
wr a large area of land in the West,
including three potential sites in
New Mexico, has come under fire
by two arms experts.
i|(The plan, called MX, would be to
move the missiles among 4,000 silos
through the West. Of seven poten
tial sites, parts of three are in New
Mexico.
■ The proposed sites in New
Mexico include the area from White
iged, Sands west to Arizona, a section of
noli the high plains running into Texas,
ami Oklahoma and a strip of the Rio
Grande from Texas up to New
Mexico. Sens. Pete Domenci,
1 RjN.M., Harrison Schmitt R-N.M.
^ ; and Rep. Manuel Lujan Jr. R-N. M.,
have all endorsed the proposal.
1 Rep. Harold Runnels D-N.M., a
member of the House Arms Serv-
npri- ices Committee, said he has not
is Made a decision yet.
reastiBDominic Paolucci, a retired Navy
Pm captain and Dr. Michael Nacht, as-
theiwtant director for Harvard’s pro-
dtk 1 im for Science and International
dared fairs, are both opposed to the MX
e. am
Paolucci said that he was a
Jmber of the Strat X team that as-
S Sed U.S. strategic options during
he 1960s, and at that time the con-
ipt of shuttling missiles among
yj ps was rejected.
L 3 |The objective of your military
Ices and strategy should be to re-
(ce the weight of any potential at-
ck on U.S. real estate rather than
• tracting it even more,” Paolucci
ul “d-
jj,,,. He said that the MX plan coidd
j n , tuse the Soviets to aim 20 times as
j|| f J lany warheads at the United
incO< jr eS '
.(jji Soviet technicans, he predicted,
l e jji iuld eventually learn ways of de-
srmining which holes contained
l^ yiissiles even if decoys and the real
Hssiles were moved around.
Jo lrf^ ac ht sa id that the Soviets would
(0 sini ply dig more missile holes of
3S their own.
He said a better plan would be to
;otiate with the Soviet Union on
matter.
