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.

Capitalism at the University of
Texas, urged the Senate com
mittee to help the state’s univer
sities capture a larger share of
basic research monies allocated
by the federal government, par
ticularly the Department of De
fense.
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.
