Methodist pastor
forms new church
United Press International
HOUSTON — A rebellious pas
tor has bolted from the local Texas
Methodist Conference, taking a size
able portion of his congregation with
him to form a new church in a dis
pute over his charismatic beliefs.
The Rev. Andy Andrews, who
founded the Foundary United
Methodist Church six years ago, said
the dispute centers on his practice of
"glossolalia” (praying in the un
known tongue) and his belief in di
vine healing.
Bishop Finis Crutchfield of the lo
cal Texas Methodist Conference,
however, said that Andrews refused
to accept a transfer as he had vowed
to do, and that Andrews declined to
“broaden” the format of his worship
services at the northwest Houston
church.
“We have no objection whatsoever
to charismatics, but we want all
Methodist churches to be inclusive
of all valid Christian experiences,”
Crutchfield said. “A church can’t be
strictly charismatic or non-charis-
matic.”
Andrews said his disputed eve
ning worship service included
anointing the sick with oil and pray
ing for their healing, but that there
were only about six times during the
past two years when people prayed
publicly in unknown tongues during
the worship service.
But Crutchfield said he did not
believe Andrews’ ministry was inclu
sive of other accepted forms of
worship
The schism came on May 27, the
day before the start of the Texas An
nual Methodist Conference at Hous
ton’s First United Methodist
Church, when Crutchfield told An
drews he was transferring Andrews
to a new church and Andrews re
fused to be transferred.
“When Mr. Andrews came to
Foundary six years ago, he assured
us that it would be a mainline United
Methodist Church. When he chose
to leave the conference recently we
were quite surprised, since all meth-
odist preachers take a vow when
they enter the conference to go
where sent.”
Instead, the 41-year-old Andrews
told the bishop he was starting a new
“independent church in the Wes
leyan tradition” and when the new
congregation held its first service on
June 17 about 193 people attended.
Dentist’s
testimony
links man
to killings
United Press International
WACO — Prosecutors Tuesday
laid the groundwork for what is ex
pected to be damning testimony
from a dentist who has linked David
Wayne Spence with three teenagers
found slabbed and slashed to death.
Dr. Homer Campbell, an expert
odontologist from Albuquerque,
N.M., testified in a pretrial hearing
earlier this year that Spence’s teeth
marks were found on the body of Jill
Montgomery.
Spence is on trial in the Montgom
ery slaying. He is also charged with
capital murder in the slaying of her
boyfriend, Kenneth Franks, 18, of
Waco, and Raylene Rice, 17, of Wax-
ahachie.
The three were found stabbed
and slashed to death in a city park
July 13, 1982.
Prosecutors claim Spence killed
Montgomery, 17 of Waxahachie, in
a botched murder-for-hire plot.
They claim Muneer Deeb wanted his
girlfriend, Gayle Kelly, killed and
hired Spence to kill her.
But they say Spence mistook
Montgomery for Kelly.
Pathologist Dr. Mary Gilliland of
Dallas, who performed autopsies on
the victims, testified Tuesday that
Montgomery’s body bore stab
wounds and teeth marks on her
shoulders, neck, chest and left
breast.
James Ebert, a specialist in photo
graphic analysis, testified that he
found six bite marks on the Mont
gomery body.
The state is expected to rest its
case Wednesday after Campbell tes
tifies.
In testimony Monday, Jesse Hay-
don Ivy, a convicted robber and for
mer jailmate of Spence, testified that
Spence told him he raped Montgom
ery and slit her throat.
A McLennan County inmate also
testified Spence told him of stabbing
three teenagers “trying to get them
to shut up.”
“The girls kept hollering and jerk
ing,” said Darrell Beckham, a for
mer Spence cellmate.
“He said he became like another
person, and was possessed,” said
Beckham.
Aspirin given to heart patients
Doctors recommend pain reliever
United Press International
NEW YORK — A survey Tuesday
showed a growing number of doc
tors think eating an aspirin a day
may help prevent two of the nation’s
leading killers — heart attacks and
strokes.
Among 316 heart doctors sur
veyed, 67 percent said they prescribe
aspirin to “first time” heart attack
victims to ward off future attacks.
Seventy-six percent told such pa
tients to take an aspirin a day.
The survey also showed 39 per
cent of the doctors tell patients who
have never had a heart attack to take
aspirin “to prevent cardiovascular
disease.” Seventy-two percent of
those cardiologists recommended a
daily dose.
Of the survey group, 23 percent
of the doctors said they themselves
take aspirin to prevent heart disease,
and 74 percent of them take it once a
day.
The recommended dosage in
each case was 300 to 350 milligrams
— the average contained in one aspi
rin.
“It is especially significant when
cardiologists make a judgment with
regard to protecting themselves
against cardiovascular disease by
adopting so simple a preventive
measure as taking one aspirin tablet
a day,” said Joseph White, president
of the Aspirin Foundation of Amer
ica, Inc. and a Washington pharma
cologist and physician.
The survey was conducted be
tween May 25 and June 22 for the
Aspirin Foundation. Results and evi
dence from clinical trials using aspi
rin were revealed at a science writers
seminar in Manhattan.
“Taking all the evidence available
so far, it seems that aspirin does have
a small beneficial effect in the sec
ondary prevention of death and a
rather large beneficial effect on non-
falal infarctions (heart attacks),” said
Dr. Peter Elwood, director of the
Epidemiological Unit of the British
Medical Research Council.
Cardiovascular disease is the most
common cause of death in the
United States. An estimated 1 mil
lion Americans each year suffer a
first heart alack. Over half die from
the first — or subsequent — attack.
Stroke is the third leading cause
of death in the United States.
Elwood said there now have been
six studies of aspirin in the preven
tion of second heart attacks con
ducted around the world.
Bryan man named to committee
By SARAH OATES
Staff Writer
“I’m not a political operative. I
just have a passion for good govern
ment,” Bryan businessman Ramiro
Galindo said Monday. Galindo re
cently was named by Sen. John
Tower to the State Finance Commit
tee for the Texas Victory ’84 Fund.
Galindo is the Regional Chairman
for the Bryan-College Station area,
which includes seven surrounding
counties. He and other Regional
Chairmen met Saturday in Fort
Worth with Tower and Vice Presi
dent George Bush to discuss plans
for the Victory ’84 fund-raising ef
fort.
“We’re going to do our darndest
to make sure Reagan and Bush carry
Texas. We can’t keep them in office
without Texas,” Galindo said.
A project of the Republican Party
of Texas, the Victory ’84 Fund is the
only fund-raising organization that
officially can coordinate its activities
with the Reagan-Bush Presidential
campaign.
Tower has said that Galindo rep
resents “an extremely competent
group of business and civic leaders
across the state whose efforts will be
critical to the success of the 1984
Reagan-Bush Presidential ticket.”
Galindo currently is working to
bring Tower to Bryan-College Sta
tion to meet people interested in the
organization’s activities.
He said he wants to “make people
aware of the issues,” and that one of
his goals is to raise money through a
direct mail campaign.
“I believe that opportunity should
be equal,” Galindo said. “This is a
land of opportunity and I believe we
need to preserve it as such.”
Galindo is president of the R.A.
Galindo, Inc. development company
in Bryan. He has served on the
Board of Directors of the Bryan-Col
lege Station Chamber of Commerce,
the Bryan-College Station Athletic
Federation, the Board of Directors
of St. Joseph’s hospital and the
Board of Directors of St. Thomas
University.
