Americans enjoy
’85 income gain
of more than 5%
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ameri
cans’ personal income rose 5.3 per
cent last year with residents in Ne
braska and New England making
the biggest gains while Western en
ergy states suffered the slowest
growth, the government said Mon
day.
The nationwide gain pushed the
income level to $13,451 for every
person in the country, but it was sub
stantially below the 9.3 percent in
crease in 1984.
The slowdown was blamed on the
general sluggishness in the economy
last year. Still, the increase kept in
come growth ahead of the inflation
rate, which was 3.8 percent last year.
The New England region out-per
formed the rest of the country with a
6.6 percent jump in incomes, which
pushed per capita earnings there to
$15,387 — 14 percent above the na
tional average.
The healthy New England income
growth was explained by the lowest
unemployment rates in the country
and booming business for the re
gion’s high-technology and defense
industries.
Commerce Department analyst
Rudolph DePass said, “Many New
England companies are in the vang
uard in the production of high-tech
items and they tend to have labor
shortages for high-skilled workers.”
The biggest income growth for a
single state was in Nebraska, but
analysts attributed most of the 9 per
cent increase to large government
purchases of surplus farm commodi
ties. Without the increase in farm in
comes, Nebraska’s income growth
would have been 5.6 percent.
Nebraska was followed by the
New England states of Vermont, up
7.1 percent; Massachusetts, up 7
percent, and New Hampshire, up
6.9 percent. Also in the top 10 were
Virginia, Connecticut, Minnesota,
New Jersey, Maryland and New
York.
The Rocky Mountain region had
the slowest income growth of any
area last year, up 4.1 percent, be
cause slumping energy prices have
forced many petroleum companies
to cut back on drilling and explora
tion.
By state, Montana had the wea
kest growth last year, 1.1 percent,
followed by Alaska with a 1.2 per
cent gain.

Southern Mexico hit by 2nd quake in 5 days
GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — An
earthquake capable of causing con
siderable damage shook an area
about 250 miles southwest of Mexico
City late Sunday, the second temblor
to hit the area in five days, U.S. offi
cials said.
There were no immediate reports
of damage or injuries.

quake, which measured 5.4 on the
Richter scale of ground movement,
struck the south coast of Mexico at
11:47 p.m. MDT.
The Red Cross in Mexico City said
it immediately mobilized its security
network but found no damage or in

Some people in the capital ran
into the streets after the quake
struck, but many people apparently
didn’t feel it elsewhere.
A quake measuring 7.0 on the
Richter scale struck the area on
April 30, causing minor damage in
the Mexico City area.
In September 1985 a quake mea
suring 8.5 on the Richter scale killed
8,000 people and caused extensive
damage in the Mexico City area.
The Richter scale is a measure of
ground motion as recorded on seis
mographs. Every increase of one
number means a tenfold increase in
magnitude. Thus a reading of 7.5
reflects an earthquake 10 times
stronger than one of 6.5. P e 11

Agencies concerned with Galveston Bay pollution threatf by J
tion. Ne
AUSTIN (AP) — Five state agencies Monday
asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to delay
development around Galveston Bay until a com
plete study can be made on possible environmen
tal damage such work might bring.
Paul Hopkins, chairman of the Texas Water
Commission, said, “Galveston Bay is one of the
most incredible and irreplaceable natural re
sources of our state. It has been abused in the
past and has suffered as a result.”
Richard Morrison, a member of the Parks and
Wildlife Commission, said, “The state of Texas is
entitled to a full disclosure of the effects these
projects may have on Galveston Bay before,
rather than after, the projects are finalized.”
Also asking for the environmental impact
study were the Texas Department of Agricul
ture, General Land Office and the attorney gen
eral’s office.
The bay — which accommodates both com
mercial fishing and tourism — supports $3 bil
lion annual in business activity for the Houston-
Galveston area, Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower said.
According to the Department of Parks and
Wildlife, several projects are being proposed for
the bay area.
In a letter to Col. Gordon Clarke, commander
of the Corps’ Galveston district, Parks and Wild
life chairman Edwin L. Cox Jr. raised concern

But both speakers agree that sen
ate-board relations are on an up
swing.
Joe Reynolds, vice chairman of
the board, said the senate’s purpose
is extremely limited, and in his opin
ion, they don’t even make recom
mendations.
“The trouble with the Faculty
Senate is that they are trying to run
other people’s business,” Reynolds
said.
Laane said in the last couple of
years the Board of Regents has
shown some interest in communicat
ing with the faculty.
“The Faculty Senate talks,” Rey
nolds said, “and talk is usually
cheap.”
Although it makes decisions as a

icans who wanted to take economic
sanctions,” he said. “The Europeans
were more reticent.”
The seven summit partners also
issued a joint statement offering
mild criticism of the Soviet Union
for its delay in reporting informa
tion on the recent Chernobyl nu
clear accident.
The statement urged tighter re
porting procedures for nuclear
emergencies and accidents and ex
pressed sympathy for the Chernobyl
victims while endorsing the contin
ued use of nuclear power “properly
managed.”
The new plan, engineered by
Treasury Secretary James A. Baker
III, would seek to stabilize exchange
rates of the major currencies — in
cluding the U.S. dollar, theJapanW
yen, the West German mark andikj
British pound — through a systft
of economic checks and balances.
Although non-economic items
have tended to capture most of the
attention at this year’s economic
summit, the leaders did launch the
first major revision in world mone-
try policy in 13 years.

The three-stage, 116-foot rocket,
NASA’s most used and most depen
dent vehicle, abruptly lost main-en
gine power 71 seconds after launch
from Cape Canaveral.
It shuddered out of control so vio
lently that its upper stage, con
taining a S57.5 million weather satel
lite, blew’ off. Launch officials
ordered a range safety officer to
send a ground signal that destroyed
it 91 seconds into the flight.
Russell said, “Everything was nor
mal . . . just like clockwork, until all
of a sudden it looks like bam! —
somebody just commanded the en
gines off.”
The two officials generally agreed
w ith earlier remarks made to report
ers by John Yardley, president of
McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics
Inc., the manufacturer of the Delta
rocket.
Yardley, a former NASA associate
administrator, said engineers for his
company “think there was some sort
of electric short on the engine,”
which triggered the shutdown.
Sen. Albert Gore Jr., D-Tenn.,
who serves on the Senate subcom
mittee that oversees the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion, called for a complete reassess
ment of the space program’s policy,
priorities and quality control proce
dures.
On “CBS Morning News” Gore
said, “We need a little less public re
lations. The public support is there.
We’ve got to concentrate on reliabil
ity.”

some exposed pipes and conduits
in the kitchen and a steam table

a follow-up inspection will be con
ducted in 14 days.
David Jefferson, a registered sani
tarian at the department, says restau
rants with scoies of 95 or above gen
erally have excellent operations and
facilities. Jefferson says restaurants
with scores in the 70s or low 80s
usually have serious violations on the
health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson
says, because restaurants can achieve
the same score by having several ma
jor violations or an abundance of mi
nor violations. He says the major vio
lations might close an establishment
down while some minor violationsati
be corrected while the health inspec
tor is still in the building during the
inspection.
Jefferson says the department
might close a restaurant if the score it
below 60, the personnel has infections
diseases, the restaurant lacks d

exists in the building, or the restau
rant has a complete lack of sanitita-
tion for the food equipment.
