Border cides lead
Texas unemployed
United Press International
AUSTIN — Mexican border
cities, where trade has fallen
drastically because of the unst
able peso, continued to lead the
state in unemployment, with
one-fourth of those eligible to
work jobless in Laredo.
The Texas Employment
Commission earlier this month
said the statewide unemploy
ment rate for October was 8.3
percent, down slightly from 8.4
percent in September. Most
Texas cities showed a similar
small improvement.
The unemployment rate in
Bryan-College Station is 5.2 and
Austin experienced the lowest
rate at 4.0 percent.
“Most of them (city rates)
went down a half percentage
point or less,” TEC spokesman
Diane Dobie said. “There were a
few that had larger decreases.”
South Texas border towns
had the highest jobless rates with
Laredo at 23.5 percent, the
McAllen area at 19.8 percent
and the Brownsville area at 14.8
percent. The high rates were
blamed in large part on the
effects of the Mexican peso de
valuation, although the Brown
sville area rate did show im
provement.
“Brownsville-Harlingen-San
Benito was down a full percen
tage point (from September),
although their rate was still quite
high,” Dobie said. “Theirs
jumped up so high inSeptemher
because of the devaluation of
the peso showing up for the first
time in our figures. Maybe they
are bouncing back a little.”
Rates for other Standard Met
ropolitan Statistical Areas were:
Abilene 4.5 percent; Amarillo
5.0; Beaumont-Port Arthur-
Orange 12.1; Corpus Christi
7.8; Dallas-Fort Worth 5.9; El
Paso 12.0; Galveston-Texas City
11.3; Houston 8.0; Killeen-
Temple 5.3; Longview-Marshall

Odessa 6.4; San Angelo 5.0; San
Antonio 7.2; Sherman-Denison
8.5; Tyler 6.5; Waco 5.9, and
Wichita Falls 7.0.

Prison reform
plans pushed
United Press International
AUSTIN—Expediting
paroles, utilizing work fur
loughs and placing judges in
stead of juries in charge of
sentencing criminals are
among proposals suggested
by a state commission charged
with developing an approach
to alleviating overcrowding in
Texas prisons.
The recommendations
announced Monday by the
panel were scheduled to be
formally adopted Tuesday
and presented to Gov. Bill
Clements.
Clements appointed the
panel to study problems with
in the Texas Department of
Corrections, which hotises the
nation’s largest number of in
mates and is under a court
order to reduce overcrowding
and improve inmate condi
tions.
The TDC has asked the
Legislature to appropriate
$1.5 billion for the next two
years to pay for increased
housing and additional
medical care. But the Legisla
tive Budget Board last week
recommended the state spend
only half that much and Lt.
Gov. Bill Hobby characterized
the prison system as a finan
cial “bottomless pit.”
The bulk of the proposals
aim at staying in compliance
with the court order and find
ing facilities for nearly 4,000
inmates currently housed in
tents, including a suggestion
to classify future inmates
according to the risk they pre
sent and that the TDC de-
emphasize maximum security
facilities.
One of the commission’s
more controversial recom
mendations was to leave all
sentencing up to judges
rather than juries. Such a
move, the commission’s re
port said, would reduce dis
parity in sentences and would
provide punishment more
appropriate for the crime
committed.
Some other suggestions by
the panel included:
— Lessening the effect of
the habitual criminal statute,
which mandates life sentences
for those inmates convicted of
three felonies.
— Providing alternatives to
TDC incarceration for 15 and
16-year-olds who commit se
rious crimes.
— Increasing sentencing
options by allowing work re
lease programs, sentences
split between incarceration
and probation, and more
community corrections facili
ties.
Space suit test
almost finished
United Press International
HOUSTON — Officials with
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration say they
hope to know by Thursday what
went wrong vyith the $1 million
suits that forced them to cancel
space walks on the recently com
pleted space shuttle mission.
A fan failure in Joe Allen’s
space suit, coupled with a reg
ulator malfunction in astronaut
Bill Lenoir’s suit, caused NASA
officials to cancel a three-hour
walk in space last week during
the space shuttle Columbia’s
fifth mission.
NASA spokesman Dave Alter
said officials in Windsor Locks,
Conn., where United Technolo
gies’ Hamilton Standard divi
sion is located, tested the fan
assembly and found nothing
wrong with it.
“Now they are doing a de
tailed electrical check and
zeroing in on the motor itself,”
Alter said. “The have eliminated
everything in front of and in
back of the motor. Test techni
cians and NASA team officials
concluded it may be in the motor
itself.”
Alter said only the malfunc
tioning parts of the space suits
were returned to the manufac
turer. A new fan and motor
were installed this weekend in
Allen’s suit “and now it works
just fine. His suit is ready to go
again,” Alter said.
The fan ensures a flow of ox
ygen through the spacesuit.
The regulator in Lenoir’s suit,
which controls the pressure of
air flowing into the suit, is also
being tested by Hamilton Stan
dard and in the laboratories of
manufacturer Carlton Controls,
near Buffalo, N.Y.,
“We are just waiting for the
sleuths to solve the mystery, but
from the way they are going at it,
I think I can agree with the head
of the inquiry team that they will
have an answer by Thanksgiv
ing,” Alter said.
