PHONE CLASSIFICATION. ^ rER,s 8 T 0 "l 11 ^— Associated Press HOUSTON — Authorities says the fingerprints from a hand found in one of tnree trash bags filled with parts of two people’s dismembered bodies may help them determine the identities. Two human heads, two legs, a torso and a hand were found Sun day in three trash bags in rural northeast Harris County by a passer by, Harris County sheriffs Lt. Joe Seckler said. He said investigators will take fin gerprints from the hand found to see if it matches with fingerprints on file. The body parts belonged to a man in his 30s and a woman who was about six months pregnant, authori ties said. Though medical examiners have not determined a cause of death, the man appeared to have been shot at least once in the right eye and the woman three times in the head, ap parently with a small-caliber weapon, Detective Ronnie Phillips Sr. said Monday. Investigators said the two ap peared to have been dead at least 48 hours when the bodies were found. Because there was no blood at the scene, detectives believe the bodies were dismembered somewhere else and dumped in the rural area. tr per WA'-bo!

General Assembly and then travel to Japan. A presidential spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said the trip to Japan starting Oct. 6 is part of an effort to find new markets for Mexican exports. De la Madrid is scheduled to be in New York from Sept. 24 to 26 to at tend the 40th anniversary session of the General Assembly, where some 70 nations will be represented by their chiefs of state. “The presence of Mexico will per mit an exposition of the importance our country gives to that organiza tion, as well as a chance for conversa tions with the secretary general of the U ; N. and with chiefs of state who exert an important influence on the international community,” de la Ma drid said. In a document sent to Congress asking permission to leave the coun try, the president also said his trip to the United Nations “offers an excep tional opportunity to evaluate the advances and retreats of that com munity of nations, which constitutes the only international mechanism which states have available to in$ul| a peaceful world order.” The president’s major foreigil policy effort has been in the Conia I dora group, formed inJanuanT' 1 by Mexico, Panama, Colombia Venezuela to seek a peaceful resolu I tion to Central American tensions. I “Mexico has regional prioritieJ but it cannot isolate itself nor maul tain itself aloof from states ofotliti| continents,” de la Madrid has said His trip to Japan, scheduled frocl Oct. 6 to 9, has as its main purpotl opening new products for Mexicatl exports. That is seen as key toeffoitl to pull the nation out of the ecJ nomic crisis. McGruff is ‘super hero’ for abused children The holiday season wilt soon be upon us.

While many of his cases deal with children who are in trouble with the law, some deal with child abuse — physical, sexual and psy chological. “I love children,” he says. “I have a 9-year-old daughter and I know how special children are." Robertson, along with Rosemary Hanicak, a Port Arthur Health De partment employee, founded the Child Abuse Task Force last sum mer. The task force is open to any interested agency or individual. “I knew the Beaumont police had McGruff puppets,” he says. “But I don’t think anyone had the cos- tame.” Robertson says the $320 invest ment was worthwhile. “We’ve probably gotten $3 million worth of value out of it,” he says. “Because of the attention McGruff has received and because of our tele vision spots, in the last month, four cases of abuse turned because the kids saw McGruff. The kids brought the abuse to the attention of another person. There’s no telling how many others have been helped because of McGruff.” Because of that, he says, “It’s worth all the sweat in the world. “When I first put on the costume, I took a lot of teasing,” he says. “But the officers here realize it’s a good technique in keeping a child’s lim ited attention span interested. And, the teasing is worth it because 1 know McGruff is getting throughia| the kids.” Robertson’s office is decoraieii| with posters and pieces of children artwork. It also serves as a videotapl ing room where Robertson intei r views young victims of abuse. “There’s a lot of new techniquel available in dealing with abuse,” Robertson says. “Anii.| there’s a lot of good, qualified! cers in the Golden Triangle who sal cessfully use the techniques inintei l viewing children. I’m just part i that team.” Capitalizing on Engineering Opportunities CAREER FAIR September 11 & 12, 1985 The Memorial Student Center (Second Floor) 'P i i LA AlY . f - -1 I 'r? m im \j'\ n 'Ui' SCHEDULED EVENTS: Wednesday 11: Thursday 12: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm 9:00 am - 12:00 pm 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm Student Interaction Student Interaction Reception (at the Hilton) Student Interaction Student Interaction Career Planning & Placement Center College of Engineering Student Engineers' Council Now ttie nam number for 776-ANCO ANCO has been a pioneer in making insurance easier and better for homeowners since 1873.
