Water shortages
forseen for Valley
United Press International
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — The
Rio Grande Valley is about six years
away from the beginning of a water
shortage that will become progressi
vely serious, a Texas Department of
Water Resources expert predicts.
“Shortages will begin to make
themselves felt by 1990,” said Dr.
Gerald Higgins of Austin.
Higgins told a recent Texas Vege
table Association convention that
trouble for the Valley will begin in
six to seven years, and by the year
2000 the area’s problems will be
come acute.
He reported Valley water use and
availability in 1980 were about bal
anced — about 1,753-million acre
feet consumed and a 1,763-acre foot
supply.
But the balance will not last much
longer, he said.
By 1990 increasing municipal and
industrial requirements will push the
lowest demand estimate 10 percent
above supply. By 2000, according to
his agency’s statewide survey, de
mand will outstrip supply by about
173,000 acre feet.

Higgins said the only relief he
could foresee for the looming water
deficit is conservation or operational
efficiency, especially on the part of
agriculture, which represents about
88 percent of the Valley’s current
water usage.
Higgins said the Valley is pamf
“crisis of major proportions' it

Austin, for example, aleadyb

Any significant economies will

Houston couple break several months of silence
Ports testify in son’s murder case
United Press International
HOUSTON — A couple broke
months of silence Wednesday by tes
tifying before the grand jury that in
dicted their teenage son for the mur
der of a female letter carrier, but
they then were returned to jail for at
least another night.
Bernard and Odette Port have
been in jail since Sept. 12 on a con
tempt of grand jury charge for re
fusing to testify against their 17-
year-old son, David.
The Ports have maintained for
several months they have a parent-
child privilege not to testify against
their son.
The teen-ager is charged with
murder in the June 7 shooting death
of mail carrier Debora Sue Schatz,
23.
Mrs. Port, who is David’s step
mother, spent six hours on the wit
ness stand Wednesday, Harris
County District Attorney John
Holmes said.
He added that her husband testi
fied for about 90 minutes before the
grand jury recessed until Friday.
Assistant district attorney Jim
Lavine said “some progress” was
made, but he said, “We can’t tell you
what has happened.”
Defense attorney Randy Schaffer
also said progress has been made in
the case.
Schaffer said the Ports asked for
the meeting with the grand jury be
cause the focus of the investigation
had changed, and there are m
questions they could answer.
“This ain’t no fun,” Schaffer
Ehey’re pretty well sickofallthii
“They’ve been sick of all this
the first 24 hours. Another 90i
in the slammer with nothingacctc
plished would be time wasted in
judgment, and I’m sure in t!
judgment.”
Haley
(continued from page 1)
some census records.
“That was, for me, the first bite of
the genealogical bug, which, as any
one who is involved in it knows,
there is no cure,” Haley said.
Haley said he gives all the money
he earns from lecturing and speak
ing to help put students through
school.
At an earlier news conference,
Haley told the media the Reagan ad
ministration is conservative in terms
of education and funding for both
black and white students.
He said current black college stu
dents would be the biggest assets for
colleges trying to recruit more black
students.
“I don’t think you could have bet
ter emisaries than the students,” he
said.
Haley also suggested talking to
older people, such as parents, to
have them pass the word to young
people before they graduate or drop
out of high school.
“The important thing is to get
them moving while still in high
school,” Haley said.
Another way black college stu
dents can encourage other blacks
from their hometowns to attend col
lege is to invite them to visit the col
lege and get the feel of the campus.
This can help dispel any fears the
E rospective student might have. Ha-
:y said this could be done at special
times such as Racial Awareness
Week.
Fear of how he will be accepted
can hinder a black person’s achieve
ments, he said.
“I’m really concerned that the
concern with problems of blacks and
other minorities has tended to cause
an almost phobia to the effect that
sometimes it can hinder people from
what they might do,” Haley said.
He said one of the biggest prob
lems black students face is not at col
lege but when they return home.
The student finds there is a great rift
between himself and a friend who

While white students also canfi
this problem, Haley said it is mi

cause the black community is mi

Haley also talked about his if
coming books.
