Plane crash partly caused
by air traffic controllers
United Press International
EL PASO — Albuquerque,
N.M., air traffic controllers may
be partially responsible for a
plane crash in El Paso last month
that killed four people, a Na
tional Transportation Safety
Board official said Tuesday.
NTSB Investigator J. O.
Johnson said he listened to the
tape of the conversation be
tween Pilot Lyle Foster and
Albuquerque Air Traffic Con
trol moments before the crash.
He said the tape indicates that
both the tower and the pilot
thought the plane was higher
that it was shortly before it
Hunger a reality,
commissioner says
United Press International
CHARLESTON — West Vir
ginia Human Services Commis
sioner Leon Ginsberg, president
of the American Public Welfare
Association, says he disagrees
with statements about hunger
made by White House counselor
Edwin Meese.
Meese said last week some
people go to soup kitchens be
cause “that’s easier than paying
for it.”
“I think they go because they
don’t have enough to eat and
they’re hungry,” Ginsberg said.
The study said that in
creasingly, applicants
for food assistance are
people previously
considered middle
class whose status has
been changed by un
employment.
“He said he hadn’t seen any
hard information that the prob
lem is growing. But I think we
have hard information that hun
ger is a growing problem in this
country.”
An American Public Welfare
Association study on hunger
said the problem is expanding to
a new group of Americans who
have not traditionally been wel
fare recipients, he said.
The study said that increas
ingly, applicants for food assist
ance are people previously cons
idered middle class whose status
has been changed by unemploy
ment.
The “new poor” don’t have
enough food, but they’re often
denied food stamps because
they don’t meet strict federal
standards that require them to
sell their few assets in order to
qualify, the APWA report said.
“It is this group that is re
sponsible for the increased de
mand for food stamps, the
growing number of emergency
food banks and a significant rise
in the number of soup kitchens,”
the study said.
The APWA recommended a
reorganization and expansion
of the program to distribute sur
plus food. It also called on Con
gress to change the food stamp
law “to assure a diet that meets
federal nutritional standards”
and to temporarily cover the
long-term unemployed who
have exhausted their benefits.
Ginsberg said the growing
hunger problem was not a result
of specific cutbacks by the
Reagan administration, but the
“faltering economy.”
Ginsberg said Meese’s com
ments were “typical of a well-
taken-care-of person’s reaction
to the problem of hunger. Most
just don’t really know much ab
out poverty, hunger and depri
vation.”
He said more money should
be made available to distribute
surplus food.
A list of the states surveyed is
Alabama, California, Connecti
cut, Kansas, Louisianna, Michi
gan, Mississippi, Texas, Utah,
Virginia and Washington.

SAN ANTONIO — One year
after the death of his son, Chris
Ramirez Sr. said he knows the
hit-and-run driver police never
found still sees the decorated,
wooden cross erected at the acci
dent scene.
Chris Ramirez Jr., an active
14-year-old with a penchant for
art, was killed Dec. 13, 1982,
when a customized pickup truck
veered into the youth’s direc
tion, apparently to frighten him,
then went out of control.
Ramirez Sr., a concrete work
er, said Tuesday his son’s atti
tude toward life had changed
before the accident. He said it
was a strange, unsettling change
mirrored in the youth’s art.
“He knew he was going to
die,” Ramirez said. “He never
said anything, but you could see
it in his drawings. He began
reading the Bible, studying the
Bible.”
The young artist won numer
ous awards for his drawings,
which changed from hot rods,
fanciful monsters and girls to
beckoning angels, tearful reli
gious figures and tombstones
bearing the artist’s name.
And the grisly self-prophecy
came true.
Ramirez said he erected a de
corated, wooden cross near the
spot on Southwest Military
Drive where his son was killed.
“They never caught the driv
er of the truck,” he said. “I pul
that cross up because I know he
lives in that neighborhood. He
tore it down, twice. But I put it
back up.
“I know he sees it. I know be
lives in that area,” Ramirezsaid.
