The result of the work will be a book written in lay terms to give Texans who aren’t trained biololgists a better understanding of informa tion such as the deer’s life history, habitat requirements, population dy namics and economic value from the standpoint of leasing and hunting, says Dr. William Sheffield of Texas A&M’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. Sheffield and 25-30 other wildlife experts and biologists from Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart ment, private interests and scientists from the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station and the Texas Agricul tural Extension Service are contrib uting to the book. “There’s probably no other game animal that has been written about more than the white-tailed deer,” said Sheffield, project coordinator, “but there is a niche that needs filling. That’s why we’re doing this publication, to pull together the best available information for people — the non-biologists — that they can understand and use.” Although there’s not much differ ence in white-tailed deer as a species in various regions throughout the state, the book will be written on a regional basis because of the differ ences in vegetation, climates and cir cumstances of hunters and landown ers, he said. “The objective is to provide peo ple information to manipulate the deer population to their best advan tage,” said the wildlife scientist. “In many cases that might mean de creasing certain segments of the deer population instead of increas ing it. Sometimes there are too many deer, or too many does for the num ber of bucks. The book will advocate bringing populations to optimum levels.” Numbering between 2-3 million, white-tailed deer comprise the larg est proportion of all deer in the state and live throughout most of Texas, allhouth populations are limited in the arid portions of West Texas where brush and tree cover is sparse. The tape of the first 45 minutes of the lengthy, secretly-videotaped meeting on Oct. 18, 1982, was not shown to jurors when the prosecu tion first played the videotape of the session earlier in the trial. De Lorean was not present at the meeting. The defense claims the excerpt played Tuesday shows there was no “meeting of the minds” — the el ement that must be proven to sub stantiate a criminal conspiracy charge — between De Lorean and the drug supplier, William Morgan Hetrick. De Lorean, 59, is charged with bankrolling a $24 million cocaine deal in hopes of pulling his crippled Northern Ireland sports car firm out of receivership. During the Oct. 18 meeting, James Hoffman, an undercover in formant posing as a drug peddler, tried to convince Hetrick to sink the $1.8 million he was receiving for supplying the cocaine into De Lo rean’s car firm. Hoffman and Benedict Tisa, an FBI agent posing as a crooked banker, talked up the merits of De Lorean’s car firm as an investment opportunity. Hetrick, however, in sisted he wanted to be paid in cash. On the videotape, Hetrick ap peared to be hearing some details of the drug deal for the first time. Hoffman, 43, who became an in-~ formant in January 1982 to avoid going to jail on cocaine smuggling charges, sparked the undercover sling that ended in De Lorean’s ar rest by telling government agents that the ex-automaker asked him to arrange a multimillion drug deal. In return, Hoffman has testified, De Lorean was willing to turn over as much as half the stock in his car firm. The defense claims Hoffman is a habitual liar who framed De Lorean to make himself more valuable as an informant. The defense Tuesday produced a letter De Lorean sent to Hoffman on July 9, 1982, days after they alleg edly discussed doing a drug deal. Court won’t let Texans sue Mexico United Press International WASHINGTON — A federal ap peals court Tuesday refused to allow 2,500 Texans to sue the Mexican government in U.S. courts to force payment of 19th century land claims that could amount to more than $1 billion. The U.S. Gircuit Gourt of Appeals for the District of Golumbia, voting 3-0, said U.S. courts have no power to mediate a dispute between Mexico and descendants of Mexican-Ameri- cans who were run off their land in south Texas. The dispute centers on a promise from Mexico to make payments to descendants of farmers and ranch ers in south Texas during the 1800s who lost 12 million acres of land they owned. Mexico has refused to submit it self to the jurisdiction of the federal courts, however, arguing that the matter should be handled through diplomatic channels and that foreign governments are immune from law suits in the United States. The dispute began just after the U.S.-Mexican War of 1848 when the ancestors of the members of the as sociation were run off their lands during the Indian Wars and by new settlers coming into the state. The dispute was thought to be set tled in 1941 when the United States and Mexico signed a treaty ending disputed claims that had been unre solved since Texas became a state. sful single from 6:30 Saturday, y married 779-7166 eers for teens working .
