Texans survive plane crash United Press International EL PASO — A Texas woman and her husband survived a plane crash in Madrid, Spain early Tuesday, in which at least 99 people were killed. Sydney Leeds Goltz phoned her parents, Louis and Ann Louise Leeds, in El Paso from Madrid at 5 a.m., Tuesday to let them know she and her husband were not hurt. “My daughter and son-in-law were sitting in the tail section and the door in that area of the plane was the only one that opened,” Mrs. Leeds said. “My daughter said she and her hus band rushed out and just left the airport. They wanted to get home to their son and to let us know they were all right.” Mr. and Mrs. Leeds said they The couple generally watches the early morning news on tele vision. Mrs. Leeds said her daughter told her the fog in Spain was very thick. “She said they were going very fast, just about to leave the ground, when a small plane crossed in front of them. There was an explosion and smoke fil led the airliner.” The Leeds’ son-in-law is director of Singer International in Spain. The couple has lived in Spain for about 20 months. The two met while attending the University of Texas at Austin. Mrs. Leeds said her daughter and son-in-law were flying to Rome and planned to drive to Florence. The couple told Mrs Leeds their plans when they vi sited El Paso last month. “Diane Sawyer (CBS newscas ter) on the morning news saie she didn’t know if there wert any Americans on board,” Mrs Leeds said. “But I would have known. We knew they were planning a business trip to Rome and we knew they were leaving Tuesday.” High tech research should be pursued United Press International AUSTIN — A panel of busi ness, political and education ex perts said Wednesday that Texas should actively pursue prominence in high technology research and production but also warned the emerging in dustry will not solve the state’s economic woes. “It would be a mistake to view technology jobs as the solution to the Texas economy, because they will only make up a small percentage of new jobs,” said San Antonio mayor Henry Cis neros, who helped draw the re search consortium, Microelec tronics and Computer Technol ogy Corp. (MCC) to Austin. He said high-tech jobs would account for only 5 percent to 10 percent of the 500,000 new jobs created each year in Texas. “That’s just not enough to say we’re going to put all our eggs in the technology basket,” Cisneros told members of a Senate com mittee studying the future of high technology jobs in Texas. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall, now a pro fessor at the University of Texas, also said high technology industries were simply not cap able of replacing the state’s more traditional industries. The state’s economic future, he said, lies in adapting high technology to existing industry. In addition, he said, Texas must shed those industries with no chance of growth while seeking a “competitive edge” in attract ing research dollars and private technology industries. “Much of the industry in Texas already may be on its way to the Third World,” Marshall said. “Also, many of our institu tions are very rigid and un adaptable and therefore doomed.” Like Cisneros, Marshall warned that few jobs would be created by high technology firms and that those created would be mostly in production jobs that required few skills. Such a situation, he said, “broadens the extremes be tween the haves and have nots.” He said improvements in Texas public education system were still badly needed in order to train people to adapt high technology to traditional indus tries. George Kozmetsky, head of the Institute for Constructive Senator Tower says Grenada was threat als * v NlS ! United Press International I AUSTIN — Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, said Wednesday the iUnited States’ intervention in sGrenada “vividly brought home to all Americans” the danger of ^Soviet-sponsored “expansion ism” around the world. The chairman of the Senate rmed Services Committee said the Grenada experience also reinforced the need to streng then U.S. military forces and Watch for “counter adverse (Events before they become prob lems.” Tower, who has announced ihe will not seek re-election in 11984, made his comments dur ing a lecture on national security Issues at the University of Texas Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. I “The geographic scope of Challenges to U.S. and Western security interest has expanded Substantially over the past de cade to distant world areas out side of the traditional system of Western alliances.” he said. I Grenada was an example, said Tower, of a two-decade trend of Soviet-sponsored expansionism and the “increasingly aggressive Soviet use of proxies, such as Cuba, Libya, Syria, Vietnam and Nicaragua, throughout the odd.” administration may have been guilty of underestimating the danger.

Texas traditionally has lagged behind California in the amount of government research its schools conduct, Kozmetsky said. To attract the research money from both private and public sources, he said, the Legislature must agree to spend millions on developing high technology in stitutes — or “lightening rods” — in various parts of the state.
