DALLAS (AP) — A lawmaker and some air safety groups say an in crease in the number of near-misses over Texas, as well as the rest of the country, should be a cause of con cern for airlines and passengers. The Federal Aviation Administra tion says 72 near-misses between air craft were reported over Texas last year, up from 67 in 1985. California had 202 reported near-misses, while Florida posted 79. “These new figures alarm me,” said U.S. Rep. Guy V. Molinari, R- N.Y., a member of the House Public Works and Transportation subcom mittee on oversight and investiga tions. But FAA spokesman John Leyden called the increase “misleading,” say ing it represents more stringent re porting requirements the agency started in 1984. Three collisions occurred in Jan uary, including one between two Air Force jets near Brownwood. Molinari said, “You have to be an idiot not to see that (the figures) have some significance. It bothers me that the FAA says they don’t have any significance.” Pilots, air safety experts and some air traffic controllers say an over worked and understaffed air control system contributed to increases in near-misses. U.S. pilots in 1986 reported 828 near-collisions to the FAA, as com pared to 758 in 1985. The agency defines a near-collision as when air craft come within 500 feet of each other.

Texas Ave. 846-8345 Daily $3.40 Including Houston, Atlanta continue battle over convention site HOUSTON (AP) — Mayor Kathy Whitmire says she is concerned that Atlanta may have inflated the value of its bid to lure the 1988 Demo cratic National Convention to Georgia instead of Houston. But she says she’ll keep details of Houston’s offer a secret — a move Atlanta officials say they’ll match. “That’s exactly what I don’t want — (Houston’s offer) lying down on the sheet with Atlanta’s estimate, be cause I think they may have inflated theirs,” Whitmire said Wednesday. “I don’t know whether Atlanta would, or whether Kansas City would, or just who would do that, but it is a concern of mine,” Whit mire added. Houston and Atlanta are consid ered the front-runners among six cities vying for the convention, esti mated to bring $67 million and pub licity to the selected city. Kansas City also is a contender. Houston’s bid included $8 million or more in public and private contri butions, officials said. The 56-member site selection committee is expected to make its decision on theluly 1988 convention at a meeting Fuesday in Washing ton.
