NAACP shows little interest
Republican looks for converts
Associated Press
DALLAS — Republican National
Committee chairman Frank Fahr-
enkopf called on NAACP Wednes
day not to make the “tragic mistake”
of allying with just one party.
“Democrats were not just rejected
but repudiated by more than 16 mil
lion voters, 49 states and 525 electo
ral votes” during November’s presi
dential election, Fahrenkopf told
delegates at the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People’s 76th annual convention.
Speaking where thunderous GOP
applause greeted President Reagan’s
nomination in August, Fahrenkopf
We perceive the Republican Party today is on the crest
of a rising demographic wave. But the victory is not yet

isolate themselves . . . from other

The boos got loud enough for

“But the victory is not yet com
plete because of one last statistic,” he
said. “Ronald Reagan got only eight
to 11 percent of the black vote.”
“After all, the Republican Party
was the original party of civil rights a
century before that phrase became
popular,” he said. “Yet we lost each

of Abraham Lincoln and the time of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and
that’s a tragedy.”
Inmate stabbing being probed
Associated Press
ROSHARON — Authorities
launched an investigation to deter
mine whether prison guards were
involved in an inmate’s stabbing
death in a high-security recreation
yard at the Texas Department of
Corrections’ Darrington Unit.
Darrington Warden Tim West
said Tuesday, “There’ll probably be
some dismissals or charges filed,
Some guards either didn’t follow
procedure or actually took the weap
ons out (to the yard).”
Brian Mimier, 26, was killed Mon
day, becoming the 14th Texas
prison inmate killed this year. An
other 140 prisoners have been
stabbed at the TDC’s 27 units.
Ron Angelone, regional director
for the southern units, said, “We’re
going to find out what security prob
lems we have down there. Some peo
ple are either going to bite the bullet
or go work somewhere else. If we
find out that people are just lazy and
there is a breach in security, they’re
out.
Mimier was stabbed 16 times in
the chest, neck and face Monday
evening, officials said.
He was attacked by two inmates
wielding sharpened pieces of metal
that prison officials now believe were
taken into the recreation yard by
guards or inmates who weren’t
searched properly.
Another weapon was thrown near
Mimier’s body to make it appear that
the stabbing was in self defense,
West said.
A motive has not been established,
and officials suspect the killing is
gang-related. Mimier was a member
of the Universal Life Church, which
is affiliated with the Aryan Nation
which is linked to the Aryan Broth
erhood, a racist white inmate gang
according to officials.
National group to examine
Texas’ rural water problems
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A national organiza
tion said Wednesday it has chosen
Texas for a comprehensive study of
rural water problems, problems that
state officials contend have been ig
nored for too long.
Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower said, “To most of us in
Texas, getting a clear, clean glass of
water simply means turning on the
tap. But over IV2 million Texas
farmers, ranchers, farmworkers and
other rural residents still cannot take
their water quality for granted.”
Hightower will head a 24-member
task force overseeing the water
study.
The study was announced by
Kathi Stanley, deputy director of the
National Demonstration Water Pro
ject Inc., an organization that has
helped numerous rural areas de
velop and maintain water supply sys
tems.
Hightower said an Environmental
Protection Agency study indicated
that two-thirds of rural water
sources may be contaminated at lev
els greater than federal standards.
He said the task force would seek
legislative and administrative steps
to make certain rural Texans have
access to quality water supplies.
As Texas has struggled with ex
plosive growth, Hightower said, ru
ral water quality problems appear to
have been ignored.
Hightower cited several examples
of the Seriousness of water quality
problems in the state, including:
A state Health Department of
ficial says at least half the approxi
mately 3,000 water systems serving
fewer than 500 people fail to meet
minimum health standards each
year.
Up to 40 percent of residences
served by independent wells or small
water systems may have bacteria lev
els greater than national standards.
In 71 counties, 5 percent or
more of all households still lack in
door bathrooms.
The Texas Rural Water Task
Force and its study will cost
$150,000, with funding provided by
the Ford Foundation and the Wil
liam H. Donner Foundation, plus
staff and other support from the De
partment of Agriculture.
