. CISCO (AP) — City officials
declared a city wide curfew and state
of emergenev Thursday after three
days of arson-sparked blazes razed a
lumber storage facility belonging to
the mayor and several other
businesses
The city council, meeting in
emergency session Thursdav
afternoon, clamped a midnight-to-6
a.m. curfew for the next three days
on this West Texas town of 4.560
about 45 miles east of Abilene,
officials said.
A 21-year-old man was arrested
Thursday morning just IW blocks
from the latest fire at W'ebb’s Inc.
warehouse and Dixon Auto store,
Cisco police detet live Risa Livingston
said.
The man was seen running away
from the scene at about 3 a.m..
minutes after the fire was discovered,
and was arrested after he jumped in a
parked car, Livingston said.
City Manager Michael Moore said.
“We’re a small West Texas city and
we just we’re awtuliy proud of our
town, that’s what makes senseless acts
like this so frustrating.
“These are good honest people
and most of us nave good common
sense. This doesn't make sense We
don’t need it and we don't like it."
The latest Maze started in the back
of Webb's, spread to Dixon's after a
Firewall collapsed, and was definitely
arson. Cisco Fire Chief Richard
(Connell said.
State fire marshals from
Duncanville also determined that a
second tire at the Red From Mini
Mall, which heavily damaged two
businesses Wednesday, was arson,
Mavor Joe Wheatley said a fire
Tuesday at his Cisco Lumber Co.
warehouse did at least $150,000 in
damage to building supplies and two
forklifts.
He said a firefighter broke his leg
when a wall of the storage facility
Mew out and buried him in rubble A
second firefighter suffered minor
burns while trving to help the first
firelighter
The warehouse rubble was still too
hot Thursday for fire investigators to
probe it thoroughly
“It was a totafloss." Wheatley said.
“I haven’t had too much time to reaHy
think about it. I haven't recovered
from my initial shock of it yet."
Wheatlev. who was elected two
months ago. said he ran unopposed
and doesn't believe the fires were
targeted at him. He said the other
businesses were multi-partnerships
The man arrested Thursday was
taken to Eastland County Jail in
nearby Eastland, where he awaited
tharges. Livingston said.
The seven-person Cisco police
force is working around the dock to
solve the case. Wheatlev said
Police believe three burglaries
1 ursdav and Wednesday morning
mav lie connected to the fires those
mornings, hut no new break-ins had
been reported to Cisco police by
Thursday.

HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Former
Gov. Bill Clements' remarks earlier
this week about purging the Texas
prison svstem of mnitarv veterans
were meant only to include prison
administrators with a militarv justice
background, his campaign savs.
If elected governor in November,
Clements does not intend to ask for
the resignation of all former military
personnel in TDC, just some in
administrative positions including
director O.L. Mcfxitier, said Reggie
Basher, campaign spokesman.
I he former governor, in a speech
to a Huntsville audience Monday,
said TDC promotions should be
made from within and not sought
from outside, such as from the
military and federal prison svstem.
He also expressed dissatisfaction
at the state <>f the prison svstem in
general, pinning much of the Marne
on Ciov. Mark White and the current
prison administration.
Basher said. "He doesn't feel he
(McCotier) has done the job. All he
said is that if he wins the election, he
will make changes at the top."
After reports of the remarks.
Walker County Republican Party
Chairman Joe Stivers said he
received phone calls 7 uesdav from
TDC emplovees who served in ihe
military and were worried they would
lose (hen jobs if Clements is elet ted.
Clements did not mean all veterans
when he made those remarks. Stivers
said.
"He has no objection to veterans,
whai he has an objection to is
bv-passing those jiersom who could
have lieeii upgraded from within and
the (current I DC) administration
propensity to hire persons from the
outside," Stivers said
A spokesman for 7 DC said
McCotier won’t get involved in
politics by commenting on Clements'
remarks.
7 DC spokesman Phil Guthrie said.
"Good administration is good
administration and it doesn't make
any difference where the experience
comes from”
“I tend to regard that talk about
the military as political rhetoric,”
Guthrie said

City destroys list of adult business clientele
AUSTIN (AP) — A citv-compiled
list of customers of adult businesses
was destroyed after numerous com
plaints. officials said.
“It’s been disposed of. destroyed.”
Senior Assistant City Managei ferry
Childers said Wednesday. “I ripped it
to shreds.”
The list's existence was disclosed
7 uesdav at a meeting of the Austin
Planning Commission when the staff
of the Office of (.and Development
Services presented a proposed new
ordinance to regulate sexually
oriented businesses such as topless
bars, adult movie theaters and mas
sage parlors.
I he move was criticized by an
American Civil Liberties Union
(hapter.
“After visiting with the state, we
determined that (he list really isn’t
needed anymore,” Childers said
Wednesday.
City workers involved in the study
gathered license plate numbers of
patrons, then used those tooMain the
names and addresses oi people who
stopped at the adult theaters, book
stores and topless bars, officials said.
We wish to express our objection
and outrage, ,,r said a letter from
ore ■
Central Texas ACLU chapter. She
noted that patrons of the estaMish-
ments “were not engaged in any form
of illegal activity.”
The letter expressed ‘‘grave con
cerns with how this information is to
be kept bv the department and how it
is to he protected ”
To study the effects of adult
businesses on neighborhoods, (he
city staked out three businesses on a
weekend night several months ago.
License plate numbers were collet ted
and run through Division of Motor
Vehicles computers to identify the
owners. I heir residences were plot
ted on a map of the city.
Stephen Swanke. a city planner
and primary author of the study, said
tracing auto iKense jrlate numbers is
a routine marketing practice done to
determine the area from which an
estaMishment draws its customers.
Swanke said lhe study shoWed that
44 perc ent of ihe< ustomers lived out
side Austin. As a result, the study re
commended that new adult busines
ses be restricted to regionally
oriented commercial disirkts along
heavily traveled roads and highways.
Neighborhood loc ations shouldn't be
allowed, it said.
Southern Baptists struggle for unity
A FLAN I A (AP) — Pleas for
conciliation mingled with threats of
crackdowns at the Southern Baptist
Convention as a victorious
fundamentalist facticyi assessed its
now-dominant role in the nation's
largest Protestant denomination.
The new president, the Rev.
Adrian P. Rogers of Memphis.
7 enn., who rode a fundamentalist
tide in defeating a moderate-bac ked
opponent the dav before, made an
impassioned plea for unity among
the dissenting factions
Ihe long-running, partisan
contention in the 14.5
million-member denomination
involves the fundamentalist
insistence on strictly literalist views of
the Bible, while moderates allow for
diverse understandings,
In business sessions, sharp divisKin
came over a fundamentalist move to
pull the denomination out of an
mter-Baptist agenev in Washington.
D.C., for not “truly reflecting our
viejss.”
The agency, the Baptist Joint
(iommittee on PuMic Affairs, which
represents eight Baptist
denominations m government issues,
has repeatedly come under
Iundamentalist attack for not
lighting court decisions barring
group prayer in public schools,
among other things.
The convention voted 12.001 to
9.556 to refer the motion to the
executive committee for
consideration. But in any case, the
agency emerged as a marked target
of the now predominant
fundamentalist forces.
Another motion was introduced
asking that the demomnation seek a
new Christian Life Commission head
“whose record and convictions about
the sanctity of unborn life” are m
accord with convention opposition to
abortion.
The demonmation s social agency
is headed bv the Rev. Foy Valentine
and has been strongly criticized bv
fundamentalists who feel it has not
sufficiently fought abortion.
The convention also voted to ask
President Reagan not to reappoint an
ambassador to the Vatican.
Houston Judge Paul Pressler. who
devised the long-range strategy for
fundamentalists to win control
through the president's appointive
power, said he hoped the losers in the
election would remain loyal to the
denomination.
The denomination's employees
work for its cast network of national
agencies, seminaries and other
institutions with expenditures
amounting to about $400 million
annually.
The defeated moderate t andidate.
Rev. Winfred Moore, pledged his
continued dedication to the
denomination. But he predicted that,
as the circle of belief is drawn lighter,
“some are going to leave, and it
grieves me Some already have, and I
regret it.’’
Panel says
nuclear plant
should be safe
BAY CITY (AP) — The South
Texas Nuclear Project should be
aMe to operate safely but some
concerns still exist about the $5.5
Mllkm plant, a panel of nuclear
experts said.
The Advisory (Committee on
Reactor Safeguards visited the site
and met with Houston Lighting lc
Power Co. officials Mav 29-30 in
Bay City to review the plant’s
equipment and technical features.
The full committee also met with
power company officials in
Washington D.C. on June 5.
The committee’s report was
made puMic Wednesday.
(Committee members said they
are concerned about the place
ment of a residual heat pump in
side the reactor containment
building, and about the location of
diesel emergency generators.
TTie group said its approval of
the project was also contingent on
the resolution of several pending
issues raised by the NRC staff
Graham Painter, an HL&P
spokesman, said the utility “feels
tnis is a very positive report, and
we certainly believe the remaining
issues cited by the ACRS can be
resolved satisfactorily .”
Approval by the committee is a
necessary step toward getting an
operating license for the nuHear
plant, scheduled to scan loading
fuel in Unit 1 in June 1987.
