DALLAS — A springtime out
burst of violent weather that claimed
0 lives battered parts of Texas
Igain Monday as rescuers continued
a search for a woman lost in flood
waters.
Light of the weekend storm vic-
ms drowned, and rising waters con-
nued to threaten much of North
exas Monday.
"It’s not getting any better,” said
ave Martin, a forecaster in the Na
tional Weather Service Fort Worth
Iffice. “There is the potential for
tore severe weather this afternoon
nd evening in North Texas.”
A flash flood warning was posted
Monday morning for Hunt County,
northeast of Dallas, and flood
atches were in ef fect for much of
orth Texas.
A severe weather storm spotter
ported a tornado on the ground 5
nles south of Valera at 1:35 a.m.
Monday, moving east at 15 to 20
[tph. About an hour later, National
iVeather Service radar tracked a tor-
ado at the Brown-Coleman county
line near Trickham. No injuries or
image were reported.
Meanwhile, tne search for Bar
bara Blair, 42, of Dallas, continued
Monday with all available police and
lire personnel, said Duncanville po
lice spokeswoman Sue Thompson.
“We’re hoping that now that the
creek is down, we’ll be able to find
her,” Thompson said.
Blair was swept away in a flash
flood Sunday morning. Police found
the bodies of her husband, William
Blair III, 41, and their two children,
Ebony, 14, and William, 7, near the
creek banks Sunday.
Authorities said they drowned af
ter their car was washed off the
road.
The Blairs were last seen leaving a
relative’s home in Duncanville be
tween 4 and 5 a.m. Sunday, authori
ties said. Their empty car was found
in the creek bed shortly before 8
a.m.
The violent spring weather also
claimed the lives of a Shep woman,
81; three people in Rockwall, includ
ing the fire chief; a deputy sheriff in
Ozona; a man in Johnson County
and an Irving teen-ager.
In Crockett County, Chief Deputy
Wayne Wahl Jr., 38, drowned at
about 12:30 a.m. Sunday when he
was swept into a culvert by flood wa
ters, Sheriff Billy Mills said.
Mills said Wahl was trying to
reach a car stranded on Texas High
way 163 near Ozona. The driver of
the car, Delbert James Allen, was
listed in serious condition at Crock
ett County Hospital, where he was
being treated for shock and expo
sure.
Mills said rescuers tried
cessfully to pull Wahl to safety with a
rope tied around his waist. They*
then cut the rope, hoping Wahl
would be able to swim to safety on
the other side of a culvert, Mills said.
Wahl was swept away and his body
was found about 100 yards down
stream.
Emma Talley of Shep died when a
twister lifted her frame house off its
foundations and hurled it more than
100 yards into a field Sunday night,
Taylor County sheriff s officers said.
Her body was found in the wreck
age. Her husband Alva Talley, 83,
was admitted to Ballinger Memorial
Hospital with cuts and abrasions,
sheriffs Deputy Ricardo Campos
said.
Kevin Linch, a geological consul
tant, said the crew of a nearby oil rig
saw the twister form in a fielo. Linch
tried unsuccessfully to flee the tor
nado in his truck.
In Rockwall, Fire Chief Benny
Gracey, 32, who drowned Saturday
night trying to rescue four people
led in a car swept away by
iwaters, was remembered by his
friends as a valiant man.

Businesses
could face
tax increase
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas businesses
ould face a $600 million tax in-
:rease, a lawmaker charged Mon-
lay.
The increase would be nec
tary because of delays by the
nternal Revenue Service in cred-
ting taxes already paid to cover
:he state’s unemployment com
pensation fund debt.
“We made a good faith effort
o shoulder our responsibilities,”
aid Rep. Lloyd Criss, D-LaMar-
|ue. “Now, the federal govern-
nent is reneging on theirs.”
At issue is $35 million, which
Lriss said the IRS has failed to
:ollect and credit to the debt
wed by the state’s unemploy
ment fund.
Unusually high jobless rates in
|982 forced the state’s unemploy
ment compensation fund to go
bankrupt. Texas borrowed
money from the federal govern-
ient to pay jobless benefits.
Under federal law, businesses
in a state where the unemploy
ment fund is insolvent on any
jgiven Nov. 10 are subject to a 0.3
ercent increase in their federal
lx rate.
The IRS collects the tax and
Jredits it to the account of an in-
lidebted state.
Because Texas was in debt last
November, the 0.3 percent in
ease was put into effect.
But Criss said the IRS has
ailed to credit that money
igainst the state’s debt. And since
tate unemployment officials pre-
ict only a $4 million surplus by
Nov. 10, including the $35 mil
lion, the IRS delay threatens to
Vise another 0.3 percent in
ease to be imposed this Novem-
r, Criss said.
Coalition supports
bill to clean waste
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texans must support
a strong superfund bill in Congress
if the state ever cleans up its 1,112
documented hazardous waste sites,
leaders of a coalition of 30 environ
mental and consumer organizations
said Monday.
Texas also needs to spend some
money itself to get the cleanup un
der way, Ken Kramer, representing
the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra
Club, told a Capitol news confer
ence.
“Texas often has the image of be
ing provincial, but Texans cannot ig
nore the need to support reauthori
zation of the federal superfund,”
Kramer said. “We can do our share
in achieving the clean up of hazard
ous waste sites, but we need federal
funds to complete the job even here
in our own state.”
Kramer said the coalition en
dorses a strong bill by U.S. Rep.
Cerry Sikorski of Minnesota that
would provide additional funds for
the Environmental Protection
Agency to clean up toxic waste sites.
The current superfund bill expires
later this year.
“The petrochemical industry in
Texas wants a weak, do-nothing su
perfund bill,” said Cyrus Mehri, rep
resenting Public Citizen, a consumer
organization. “The manufacturers
of hazardous waste want to reap the
profits of their poisons, but do not
want to be held accountable for the
dangerous wastes they leave be
hind.”
Mehri, of Washington, said U.S.
Sen. Lloyd Bensen, D-Texas, voted
March 1 for a Senate superfund bill
that Mehri said was inadequately
funded and had no mandatory
schedules or standards for cleanup.
Kramer stressed that even if the
superfund is reauthorized, Texas
must provide about 10 percent
matching state money plus provide
money for a state clean-up fund.
Senate group OKs bill
for retired teachers
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A Senate committee
Monday approved a bill that would
set up a health insurance program
for retired teachers.
Sponsor Ed Howard said the pro
posal had been hailed as the most
significant contribution to the tea
cher retirement system in the last 50
years.
Howard, D-Texarkana, said the
program would be funded by the
state and by active teachers at no cost
to the retired teacher for basic cover
age.
Health insurance would be avail
able beginning Sept. 1, 1986. There
would be a deductible of $2,000 or
$5,000, but participants would have
the option of paying into the pro
gram to reduce the deductible to
$200.
The first-year contribution of tea
chers would be $17.8 million, and
the state would join in the second
year of the biennium, paying $26.4
million.
Eventually, the state would con
tribute 0.5 percent of a teacher’s sal
ary into the program, and the tea
cher would contribute 0.25 percent
so the ratio would be 2-to-1.
The bill is viewed as a compromise
with the state limiting its snare of
contributions to the Employees Re
tirement System and the Teachers
Retirement System.
