BEAUMONT — Resurrecting the
ways of the old West may help curb
organized crime and drug traffick
ing, the nation’s top federal marshal
said Wednesday.
Stanley Morris, director of the
U.S. Marshals’ Service, said the con
cept of a posse could be tised to track
modern day outlaws.
“It was through the support of
law-abiding citizens that law enforce
ment officers were able to settle the
West,” he said.

“I wanted to give you that back
drop (of the old West) because the
threats that face law enforcement to
day are no less real than they were
100 years ago,” Morris told about
250 Beaumont Rotary club mem
bers.
“It’s important for us to think
about what the local citizenry did
and how they responded to threats
against law enforcement officers.” .
Morris said citizens must be will
ing to support law enforcment offi
cials and help reinstill pride in those
agencies.
“We’ve lost in the last decade and
a half some of the pride in law en
forcement that we once had,” he
said.

MEKELLE, Ethiopia — Entertainers who raised
money to feed famine victims by promoting a special
song got a personal look Thursday at what has been
called Af rica’s lost generation — children so wasted by
hunger and disease that they will never fully recover.

Singers Harry Belafonte and Marlon Jackson along
with other members of USA for Africa, who raised $50
million with the recording “We Are the World,” toured
this emergency feeding camp for 70,000 people, many
of them children.
He said nearly every child he saw was “grosslyun
nourished" and found such maladies as nikets,g
coma, severe diarrhea and vomiting.
As they fed biscuits and bread to the children and
passed out T-shirts, they expressed shock and dismay.
“It is shocking to know that something like this exists
in the world today,” Jackson said.
He closely examined a 4-year-old girl, holdings
thin arms in his hands. He said she was doomed
cause her growth had been so retarded. .
The marshals’ service, the nation’s
oldest federal law enforcement
agency, provides security in federal
courtrooms, searches for federal fu
gitives, protects federal judges and
witnesses, transports and supervises
federal prisoners and has a SWAT
team that responds to emergency sit
uations.
But singers also said there was hope because the situ
ation has improved markedly at Mekelle.
The situation has improved partly because of huge
amounts of relief aid that began arriving late last year.

Associated Press
BERWICK, Pa. — T he dot on 10-
year-old Jessica Bishop’s tooth is
something she says “lots and lots of
kids” should have.
Called a dental microdot, it’s a
tiny spot of information about the
size of the letter “o” on a typewriter
that is the new wave in personal
identification.
Steven Bishop, a dentist and Jessi
ca’s father, applied her dot last
month. He expects to do a lot more
dots as word spreads through his
eastern Pennsylvania town.
“I feel safer now,” Jessica said,
referring to the possibility of any
mishap in which she could not tell
people where she lived. “I think lots
of kids should have this — lots and
lots of kids.”
“If this thing does catch on and a
lot of people have it, it’ll be the first
spot people will look” in emergency
situations for identification or with
missing children, Bishop said.
The mievodots are made of either stainless steel or
plastic, come in round or rectangular shapes and
cost about $15, including a spare. They're bonded
to a tooth in a process that takes about 15 minutes
and requires no anesthesia.

The widespread publicity about
missing children has spurred devel
opment of the dots, some producers
say, although they emphasize that
the dots can be used to identify both
children and adults.
“It’s a hot item right now,” said
pediatric dentist Roland Hansen of
Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., one of
the most recent developers of a mi
cro-identification system marketed
by CODENT Inc.
Teeth have long been considered
the final element in identification,
but better dental hygiene and fluori
dation have reduced the number of
children with cavities and fillings
and made it harder to identify them
through dental charts.
In a 1980 study of more than
3,()()() nine-year-olds, the Atlanta-
based Centers for Disease Control
found that 51 percent never had a
cavity, said American Dental Asso
ciation spokeswoman Cathy Penesis.

Texas Air board of directors
to buy out Trans World Airlines
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Texas Air Corp.,
the parent of Continental Airlines,
agreed to buy Trans World Airlines
Inc. for cash and securities valued at
$793.5 million, the companies an
nounced Thursday.
Under the agreement, which the
companies said was unanimously ap
proved by both boards of directors,
each of TWA’s 34.5 million common
shares would be converted'into $19
in cash and $4 of a new issue of pre
ferred stock in TWA.
The companies said that while
TWA would become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Texas Air, TWA would
retain its identity and its present
management.
The marriage of Texas Air and
TWA would create one of the na
tion’s largest air carriers, with a fleet
of 294 jets second only to United
Airlines’ 320 airplanes. The merger
also would give Texas Air quick ac
cess to more than a dozen European
cities served by TWA.
More importantly to TWA’s man
agement, however, the deal would
help the airline avoid an unwelcome
takeover bid by New York investor
Carl C. Icahn. I calm said he had no
immediate plans to make a counter
bid.
Based on current figures, the
combined operation would employ
40,000 workers and its 1984 revenue
would have been $5.03 billion.
Separately, a group of TWA’s em
ployees announced in Kansas City,
Mo., that it was considering an em
ployee buyout of TWA.
The I WA Employees Committee
said at a news conference that a
buyout was “it realistic option” that
could be financed in part by the em
ployees taking pay cuts.
The group said it wrote to TWA’s
d1<
28,000 employees asking them “to
indicate as quickly as possible
whether they would accept short
term wage reductions to finance the
purchase of the airline.”
TWA has been seeking a friendly
buyer for the past month to thwart
Icahn’s bid. Icahn’s investment
group boitght up 11.2 million
shares, or 32.8 percent of TWA’s
stock, and offered $18 for each of
the remaining shares.
Resorts International Inc., the ho
tel-casino operator based in North
Miami, E'la., also had expressed in
terest in purchasing TWA, but it
never publicly released a formal pro
posal.
