Collins, trailing incumbent Sen. Lloyd Bentsen in the polls three weeks before the general election, was lauded by Reagan as “a man whose philosophy and voting record reflect a lifelong commitment to those bedrock values that made America great.” He restated one of Collins’ stands in the campaign against Bentsen. “Jim’s opponent talks like a Texan but back in Washing ton he doesn’t vote like one,” Reagan said. “Wouldn’t it be great if (Sen.) John Tower, who does such a fine job for Texas, could work with a col league who reinforces his vote and doesn’t cancel it out?” . pa vd c crow a of 3 ,500 responded to the question with enthusiastic applause. Reagan called Gov. Bill Clements — who greeted him at the airport but immediately left for Austin to prepare for a Monday night debate with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark White — “one of the toughest, most effective governors in the country.” Midway through his speech, a girl fainted in the front of the crowd that had stood for more than an hour before Reagan arrived. Reagan stopped speaking and asked in a concerned voice, “Are you all right?” and added, “We have a doctor here.” The girl was treated by pa ramedics in the ambulance that accompanied the pres idential motorcade. Across the street from the well-manicured grounds that include a private lake, swim ming pool, soccer field, stables, meeting rooms and a sprawling cedar-shingled house, a group of neighbors gathered in front of their trailer homes. Body in ditch may be smugglers’ fifth victim United Press International EDINBURG — Hidalgo County officials had only a ten tative identity Tuesday for a man believed to oe the fifth per son to die from an illegal alien smuggling operation. Sheriff’s investigator Erasmo Bravo said he was awaiting auto psy results for a firm identifica tion and cause of death. The man was tentatively identified as Oscar Armando Espinal, the father of one of four Salvador ans found dead in a sealed truck last week. The man, whose body was found late Saturday in a drain age ditch about 1.5 miles from an orange grove where smug glers abandoned 10 Salvador ans, was tentatively identified as Oscar Armando Espinal, 48. The smgglers had left behind 16 others — four of them dead — in the truck, where a passerby discovered them Oct. 4. Bravo said survivors told officers Espinal had been wear ing a distinctive watch like the one found on the body. “After the smugglers left them, the others said he star ted talking to himself, talking about his family,” Bravo said. “The others tried to control him but he didn’t recognize them and he ran away. “The way the body was found, it looked like he had got ten a drink and just couldn’t get up.” He died apparently of heart failure and exhaustion, Bravo said. Edward Hunter, 39, and Robert J .'Manners, 51, surren dered to U.S. Border Patrol agents and were held in lieu of $500,000 bond each. id sd hth claim to be victor SODALICIOUS SODA SPECIAL ed reports sked to “kid nancial aidil advised g to resolve) Clements, White debate United Press International LSI IN — After an hour of ^ ling barbs and assessing neon each other for various blems, Gov.

Clements said it was large ly a problem the governor has no control over. “This is basically a problem that is beyond our control,” he said. “Although we in Texas are not part of the problem, we will be part of the solution.” But White said Clements should be truthful about the Texas economy and “not tooting the horn when n,o jobs are avail able.’’ White said Clements had unwittingly attracted people from other states who have moved to Texas looking for jobs that do not exist. White accused Clements of allowing utility rates to get out of control during his administra tion, saying Texans have been saddled with $1 billion in rate hikes over the past four years. The attorney general prom ised to seek legislation to do away with the controversial fuel add-on clause if elected. But Clements responded that utility rates in Texas are the lowest among the nation’s 10 largest industrial states and said utility companies do not make a profit off charges. fuel adjustment The debate, co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters and Texas Monthly magazine, came under fire from two minor party candidates, and about a dozen of their supporters pick eted the television studio where the debate was staged. The League of Women Vo ters said Libertarian Party nominee David Hutzehnan and Citizen Party nominee Bob Poteet could not participate be cause a special poll showed they had less than 15 percent voter support.

No report would be led ng Foods discusses selection issued on those candidates found to be qualified. A proposal to require non partisan elections of all appellate judges was not put to a vote. Committee members said such a process would not remove poli tics from judicial selections or result in better qualified judges. The committee did recom mend that starting in 1992 the majority of judges on the state Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals be elected from single-member districts rather than statewide. Under the proposal, eight of the nine members on each court would be elected from districts drawn by the Legislature. The presiding judges on both courts would be elected statewide. The committee’s suggestions will be considered by the Legisl ature during the next session.

Businesses today face a basic dilemma when it comes to selecting a computer. So-called “personal” computers have limited power and capacity. They’re just too small to be use ful to most businesses. And the larger mini computers are more expensive. Victor has a solution to that dilemma. The Victor 9000 Business Com puter is priced under $5,000. Like a “personal.” Yet the Victor 9000 has a capacity that rivals the expen sive minis. A close look at the chart shows you just how the Victor 9000 compares. The Victor gives you the kind of memory and storage capacity business applications demand. Much more than the IBM Per sonal Computer, the Apple III or their competitors.
