‘Bobby’
to return
to Dallas
AUSTIN (AP) — Actor Patrick
Duffy said Thursday he will be res
urrected on the television series
“Dallas” —and he knows exactly how
but he’s not telling.
“I’m committed to keep it secret
because we need the ratings,” he
said. "I am back and I can’t tell you
how, when, why and where or what
my name will be. I know it, but I
can’t tell you.”
Duffy played Bobby, J.R. Ewing’s
good-guy brother, on the hit TV
show until the end of last season. On
the Final show, he was hit by a car
and seemed to die in the hospital
when he was taken off a respirator.
In this year’s shows, he was pre
sumed dead. His grave at Southfork
Ranch was shown occasionally.
Duffy spoke at an Austin news
conference where he was introduced
as the spokesman for a seat belt use
campaign.
“I guess as a victim of a traffic ac
cident I’m probably most qualified
to talk about things like this,” he
said. “I’m the only person to be
brought back from an actual death
involving a traffic accident. The per
son who killed me was not recast.”
Pressed for details about his re
turn to "Dallas,” he said, “I know all
about it and you don’t.
“I’m committed by my great
mother network to not talk too much
about this until I return to Los An
geles,” he said.
Duffy will appear on the May 16
episode of “Dallas,” a season-ender
that producers hope will be a ratings
blockbuster.
“I did not ask to come back,”
Duffy said, adding that sagging rat
ings forced producers to reassess
and move back toward the original
character of the show.
suicide,
police say
DALLAS (AP) /V —^ Max, the one-
eyed robot that i$‘(he ,I}all&s Police
Department’s latest ' crim'e fighter,
earned a B-plus on his first active Oil
duty assignment by ending a tense
four-hour standoff, police officials
said Thursday.
The mechanical crime fighter
convinced a 27-year-old map threat
ening suicide to surrender Wednes
day night, police said.
Police decided to use Max when
they were told that the man, who
took his phone off the hook and
didn’t respond to bullhorn calls, had
booby-trapped the front door with a
high-powered rifle.
The man’s friends told police
Wednesday afternoon that he had
taken a bottle of sleeping pills after
arguing with his girlfriend, police
tactical Capt. Dwight Walker said.
After Max smashed the window,
the man came out with a pistol in his
waistband, Walker said.
The man was listed in good condi
tion at Parkland Memorial Hospital,
a hospital official said.
Workers
new
job skills
ODESSA (AP) — Alton Rae said
he grew up in Odessa thinking he
would spend his life working in the
oil fields.
That’s before he was laid off from
his welding job.
Now, he’s in his second year of
training at Odessa College for a new
career as a medical technician.
A college administrator said he
expects many people who lose jobs
because of the current economic sit
uation will train in new fields.
“People try to go back to school to
;t their job skills up,’

said Roger
J P’
Coomer, Odessa College vice presi
dent for finance. “We’re hoping for
that, as long as people don’t leave
the area.”
When the economy soured in
1983, the college’s fall enrollment in
creased sharply, Coomer said.
Rae, 30, said he was laid off in
1983.
“Back in ’83 when the bust hit, the
welding shops closed down,” he re
called. Rae sdid his wife encouraged
him to train for another type of
work.
“I didn’t want to follow work
around. I’d rather have a steady
job,” he said.
Coomer said in a rapidly changing
economy, having more than one skill
proves useful.
“You never know what’s going to
be hot and what’s going to be out for
a while,” he said.
