Texas girl, 8, gets
transplant of liver
United Press International
PITTSBURGH, Pa. —
Surgeons at Children’s Hospital
completed a lengthy liver trans
plant on a Texas girl early
Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for the hos
pital said Gassie McPherson, of
Seagoville, was wheeled into the
intensive care unit shortly after
4 a.m. Her condition was listed
as critical.
She entered surgery at 3 p.m.
Monday.
The girl and her mother flew
to Pittsburgh Sunday night after
receiving word the hospital had
obtained a donated liver from a
young boy.
McPherson, who is 4 feet tall
and weighs 38 pounds, suffers
from a terminal liver disease.
She was born with a cyst that
blocks bile production. Her
abdomen is swollen by the
fluids, and scar tissue built up
around her liver.
The girl asked Santa Claus
for a new liver at Christmas and
was discouraged when she did
not receive it. But when news of
her plight brought offers of help
from throughout the United
States last month, she packed
her luggage in anticipation of a
trip to the Pittsburgh hospital.
The girl’s name was placed
on a list of children eligible for
liver transplants. Another Texas
girl, Kandice Telarico, 2, of
Irving, is also on the list.
Only about 400 liver trans
plants have been performed
worldwide.

HOUSTON — The president
of the nation’s largest Hispanic
organization sharply criticized
President Reagan, blaming his
administration for worsening
the quality of life in America in
the past year.
Tony Bonilla, of Corpus
Christi and president of the
League of United Latin Amer
ican Citizens, said Monday the
president’s new federalism plan
will not work to improve condi
tions.
“Thanks, but no thanks,”
Bonilla said, while reviewing a
lengthy list of what he called
shortcomings of Texas and
other state governments in the
fields of civH and voting rights,
education and penology.
Bonilla said that the presi
dent, “a slick communicator,”
needs to meet the man on the
street rather than Americans
who can pay for $l,000-a-plate
Republican dinners.
Bonilla spoke sharply of cuts
in social programs for the unem
ployed, elderly and children,
while increasing military
spending.
“No mas, no more social cuts,”
he said.

HOUSTON — The Houston
>lice Department has hired
0 homosexual men to teach in
e police academy and inform
>v enforcement recruits about
y life.
Acadmeny training director
ipt. Leroy Michna said Mon-
y the hiring of two admitted
mosexuals is a first for the
)lice department.
“This is just an attempt to
troduce cadets to a portion of
e community they'll deal with
nd) debunk alot of myths and
retypes that our cadets, like
people, possess about gays,”
ichna said.
Lee Harrington, president of
e Houston Gay Political
iucus, and Bill Scott, a gay
ychotherapist, will teach a
ur-hour course “designed to
esent what we think is an accu-
te picture of homosexuals that
'e in Houston,” Michna said.
In the past, instruction about
tvs has been part of the recruits
aining. but it was taught by Dr.
>hn Matthews, the academy’s
lucation coordinator. The
tange in instructors was sug-
ssted because the recruits sjtiil
ad not been exposed to the gay 4
immunity and kept their
ereotypical image of gay men
ad Women.
“If you want an Astro to talk
lout baseball, you don’t go to
ie Oilers,” Michna said. “Now'
the time to have the gay com-
mnity represent themselves in
lis course.”
Two years ago when the sug-
sstion was made to Mic/hna, he
fused to let the gays.feach.
“But I guess I’ve got/en older
ad wiser,” Michna said.
Harrington praised the police
r affording the two an oppor-
mity to teach cadets.
“In the past, there needed to
- more in the academy to sensi-
te the police to the gay com-
mnity, just as they are (sensi-
ted) toward the black and His-
anic communities,” Harring-
m said.
