Clock still ticks,
but old man died
United Press International
WICHITA, Kan. — Time continues to tick slowly into history on a
jthree-foot diameter clock on Amos McDade’s front porch, and his
[widow said she will keep it going.
“You just wind it every 30 days and it goes,” she said.
McDade, a former watch and clock repairman, kept the giant clock
[wound tight and a few minutes ahead so that people driving by would
[not be late to work. He died Monday, just 11 days after his 107th
[birthday.
1 Mrs. McDade, holding her dog on a porch chair under the clock,
[said her husband had talked her into having a party to celebrate his
tbirthday even though her arthritis is “bothersome.” Thirty-six
■neighborhood guests appeared to eat cake and wish McDade wfell.
■ Mrs. McDade said the memory of that happy time lessens the blow of
[his death.
J “It helps take the tears away that I did it,” she said.
■ McDade was born in a log cabin in Washington County, Texas, and
[traveled to Wichita in 1937. At age 74 he married a woman 33 years
[younger.
[ “It’s best to wait until you find someone you have confidence in,”
McDade had said, before he died.

Ket/ to problem is in Mexico
Surveys say illegals still coming
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Two lengthy
surveys into the illegal alien situation
released Tuesday concluded the
primary solution to the problem lies
in impoving the impoverished condi
tions in Mexico that causes its citi
zens to come to the United States for
work.
The surveys were commissioned
by the Texas Advisory Council to the
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights
and were released at a news confer
ence by El Paso Catholic Bishop Pat
rick Flores at the opening of a
three-day conference on immigra
tion and naturalization.
“It appears that depressed
economic conditions in the United
States do not deter undocumented
aliens from entering this country,”
concluded one of the studies pre
pared by Drs. Roy Flores and Gil
bert Cardenas.
“McAllen has consistently experi
enced unemployment rates in excess
of 10 percent, yet many unskilled
aliens find their way to McAllen. The
push’ from Mexico appears to be a
stronger determinant than the ‘pull’

United Press International
AUSTIN, — A Select Committee
on Drugs and Alcohol Abuse and
Control Tuesday recommended the
Legislature establish mandatory
driving while intoxicated education
programs as a condition of probation
for all first and second offenders.
The committee, chaired by Rep.
Bob Maloney, R-Dallas, also prop
osed that felony DWI offenders he
required to enroll in treatment prog
rams for a specific period of time.
Ben F. McDonald, director of the
Texas Department of Community
Affairs that oversees the Drug Abuse
Prevention Division, said a drug
abuse education program should be
included with the DWI education
program.
“Drug abusers are also responsi
ble for highway accidents, he said.
“Alcohol abusers sometimes are also
drug abusers. I think we need to
have both programs togther.”
A committee report also recom
mended the 66th Legislature, which
convenes in January, consolidate the
Drug Abuse Prevention Division
with the Texas Commission on Al
coholism.
The rqport said the consolidation
would avoid duplication of adminis
trative operations associated with
the two agencies. A single agency
could more effectively and efficiently^
implement alcohol and drug abuse
programs, the report said.
The committee also recom
mended that the state appropriate
more funds for drug and alcohol

abuse services in order for Texas to
receive its share of federal revenue.
The report said the state lost
$500,000 in federal matching funds
last year.
Donald said the Legislature would
have to appropriate $365,000 next
year to continue the present services
and for the state to receive its full
share in federal funds. Last year the
state allocated $110,000 for alcohol
and drug abuse programs.
The committee proposed mandat
ory blood alcohol content tests for all
accidental deaths and homicides to
determine accurate statistical data
on alcohol abuse.
“There is presently no means of
establishing reliable statistics on the
mortality rate of alcohol related
deaths,” the report said.
The creation of a study panel on
alcohol and drug abuse, which would
be appointed by the governor, also
was recommended by the commit
tee.
The panel would be made up of
professionals and laymen represent
ing both fields and would be respon
sible for developing alcohol and drug
abuse services by state agencies. The
panel also would make recommenda
tions to the Legislature concerning
apative action for the alcohol and
drug abuse programs.
from the United States.
“The solution to the un
documented alien question, if in
deed a solution is possible, rests with
improving the economy of Mexico.
As long as the wretched economic
conditions exist in Mexico, many
Mexican citizens will immigrate to
the United States, legally or other
wise.”
The two researchers based their
conclusions on responses to ques
tionnaires filled out on 3,400 aliens
detained by the Border Patrol and
Immigration and Naturalization Ser
vice along the Texas border.
Another survey, by Avante Sys
tems, Inc. and Cultural Research As
sociates, was based on a previous
surveys by the Mexican government
and others and anonymous inter
views with Mexican aliens at El Paso
and the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The study said 90 percent of aliens
interviewed by Professor Julian
Zamora were sorely under-
educated, having completed less
than the six primary grades of
Mexico.
It found that 98 percent of those
entered from Mexico, while 1 per
cent each came from Guatemala and
Belize and Nicaragua, that most
worked as menial laborers in agricul
ture or unskilled city jobs and earned
a mean $2.75 an hour.
The second study concluded U.S.
citizens’ concern that the job mar
ketplace would be flooded with
aliens was unjustified.
“Our findings show little basis for
this fear,” the report said. “Un
documented persons hold jobs
which require only a Mexican sixth
grade education and no U.S. educa
tion, generally require neither
speaking nor understanding En
glish, pay less than the minimum
wage, offer no fringe benefits and are
valued more for security than for po
tential for advancement.
According to responses from the
aliens, the report said, reports are
unfounded that the aliens constitute
a drain on U.S. social services.
