Dr. Gene Boisaubin, who de scribed himself as an expert in inter nal medicine, clinical nutrition and medical ethics, also testified Elnora Breed died of a combination of fac tors at an Autumn Hills nursing home. The 87-year-old woman, he said, likely died of a stroke, heart attack and colon cancer. “Was there anything that could have helped Mrs. Breed in 1978?” asked defense lawyer Tom Sart- welle. “Not that I know of,” Boisaubin said. “The dying process was under way with Mrs. Breed,” he said. “She was in the dying process for six months to a year before she entered Autumn Hills.” Boisaubin’s testimony came in the state’s murder trial against Autumn Hills Convalescent Centers Inc. and four of its current and former em ployees. They are charged in the Nov. 20, 1978, death of Breed. She died 47 days after entering the nursing home. The state claims she died of over whelming infection and starvation, both brought on by poor nursing care. The defense claims Breed died of cancer. Boisaubin defended a doctor’s or der for a 600-calorie daily diet for Breed. Prosecution witnesses de scribed the order as a starvation diet and said it contributed to her death. “Under the circumstances I be lieve it (dietary order) was appropri ate,” the Houston doctor said. “There’s no doubt withholding nutrition from any patient, includ ing dying ones, is very serious," he said. “But you have to look at the full benefit. Tnis patient was unrespon sive, unable to feel hunger.” Boisaubin, who is a professor ol internal medicine at the Baylor med ical school in Houston, said increas ing Breed’s caloric intake could have caused trauma to her malnourished body. But under cross examination, the doctor admitted the dietary order amounted to a starvation diet. “Could she have lived on 600 cal ories daily indefinitely?" prosecutor David Marks asked. “No, nobody can,” the doctor said “It starves you to death, doesn't it?” Marks asked. “I ^uess if you put it that way, it's true,” he said. Marks also pointed out Breed's charts from a hospital stay prior to entering Autumn Hills showed she was improving. Earthquake homeless hurt by cold weather Associated Press MEXICO CITY — As the over night temperature dropped below freezing to its lowest point in 30 years, city officials oh Tuesday blamed the cold weather for at least nine deaths. Forecasts called for the cold wave, which sent the thermometer down to 27 degrees, to last for more than two days. There was concern that thou sands still living in tents or tempo rary shelters because of the Septem ber earthquakes could suffer even more hardship. Police announced that their Oper ation Indigent, which is put into ef fect for winter weather each year, rescued 36 people in the past 24 hours at the entrances to subway sta tions or in the doorways of large de partment stores. The polar air has affected most of interior Mexico, causing major snow storms last week in the northern bor der state of Chihuahua. The forecast Tuesday for the northern mesa was for continued cold, ice in the moun tains and some rain in northwestern Mexico. Coastal resorts, however, have re mained unaffected, and tempera tures remain seasonably warm in southern Mexico. Few homes have central heating systems in Mexico City, where the temperature rarely drops below the 40s even in January. The average temperature is 72. The latest government figures show that 40,000 people remain homeless from the Sept. 19-20 earthquakes that killed at least 7,000 people and destroyed or badly dam aged about 3,000 buildings. President Miguel de la Madrid has said it will take 15 months for the problem to be solved completely. Private estimates are that the number of homeless is even higher, with many people living in tents re fusing to leave their neighborhoods to enter government shelters. The lowest temperature ever re corded in Mexico City was Jan. 11, 1914, with 24.4 degrees. On Jan. 12, 1956, the temperature dropped to 25 degrees. Crewmen eject to safety before F-4 jet crashes Associated Press TILDEN — Two officers of the Texas Air National Guard ejected safely Tuesday afternoon before their F-4 Phantom jet crashed about two miles north west of Tilden. The two were identified as Col. Gary Walston and Maj. Bruce Beasley, both of San Antonio. Walston is the commanding offi cer of the 149th Tactical Fighter Group of the guard. The crash occurred about 3 p.m. during a routine training mission as Air National Guard, said Phoebe Brown, a spokeswo man at Kelly Air Force Base. “The two crew members ejected successfully before the crash and have been picked up by helicopter,” she said. A team of experts from Kelly was dispatched to the scene to in vestigate the incident, Brown said. Owner seeks incorporation for truck stop Associated Press HILLSBORO — Carl Cornelius’ vision about building a monument to truckers started with Carl’s Corner truck stop, complete with two Jacuz zis, a swimming pool, a 24-hour res taurant and a game room. Now Cornelius has bigger plans. He wants to incorporate his truck stop as a city — Carl’s Corner, Texas. Voters from the area’s population of 220 will go to the polls Saturday to decide whether they want to incor porate their 1,280 acres as a city. Voting will be at the truck stop, lo cated about five miles north of Hill sboro in Central Texas. Cornelius says incorporation is more a matter of pragmatism than one of fame and advertising. A city has access to state and federal aid for building and improving water sys tems and fire and police protection. “I would like to see a nice bank come out here,” he says. “And I’d like to see a nice fire department come out here. I want it to be self- Cornelius has teamed up with for mer Waco artist Bob “Daddy-O" Wade for his truckers’ drive-in. Wade is the designer of the frogs Cornelius bought in Dallas and is better known, perhaps, for his sculp ture of a huge iguana that sits atop the Lone Star Cafe in New York. supporting.” Cornelius bought a pair of 500- pound, dancing, polyurethane frogs from a slumping Dallas nightclub and put them at his truck stop for looks. He also is designing and building the only drive-in theater in the world just for truckers. If the vote is in favor of incorpo ration, another election will be held to elect city officials. Cornelius won’t discuss whether he will seek a posi tion. But in an interview in 1984, when asked what position he would hold in his dream city, he responded witli a smile, “Owner.” ’• ' ; •* V Super Perm Sale! Stylish Regis Perms personalized just for you.
