All department heads in the Gal veston city government were on stand-by Sunday night and EOC crews monitored the weather system continuously shordy after the first warning was issued Sunday af ternoon, said George Kraft, Galves ton’s assistant emergency manage ment coordinator. “Ever since Hurricane Alicia hit in 1983, we’ve been very conscious of what kind of damage can happen,” Kraft said Monday. The 1983 storm killed 21 people and caused an esti mated $1.2 billion in damage in the Houston-Galveston area. “Since that time, we’ve done a lot to develop our emergency program and tried each year to keep it in the best possible shape,” he said. “In a very real sense, you could consider what happened through the night as a dry run. Of course, nothing really happened to us.” The storm was dissipating near Sam Rayburn Reservoir and only a few scattered patches of rain re mained Monday afternoon, National Weather Service spokesman Debbie Cage said. The storm in East Texas near the Louisiana border was traveling east at 10 mph. Cage said. Most of the re mains of the depression were in Central Louisiana and in the Gulf of Mexico about 60 miles to 120 miles off the Galveston coast on Monday afternoon. Galveston police said the depres sion did not bring any high winds or unusual tidal activity. “We’re all laughing about it,” po lice dispatcher Norma Oliver said. The formation of the depression surprised forecasters, who issued tropical storm warnings for the Texas and Louisiana coastline. Had winds increased to 50 mph, it would have been the first tropical storm of the 1987 Adantic hurricane season. August is one of the deadliest months for Texas hurricanes, re cords show. No hurricane has hit Texas earlier than June or later than October, re cords show. August and September are the most active months. Texas has been hit by more than 100 hurricanes since 1766. The worst of those hit Galveston Island in September 1900, killing at least 6,000. ...AMP X PONT HAVE TO 5TART IT ALL 'TILL LATE SUNDAY A/IGHT. Apartment fire kills 4 children, injures 2 others ARLINGTON (AP) — Four chil dren were killed and two others were injured Monday when a blaze trapped them in a second-story apartment, prompting their preg nant baby sitter to leap from the building, authorities said. The 14-year-old baby sitter, who is six months pregnant, jumped out of the burning building with one of the six children, a 5-year-old girl, as the fire moved from the living room to a stairwell, authorities said. The baby sitter, Elizabeth Medina, and the 5-year-old, Diamantina Ybarra, were taken to Arlington Me morial Hospital for observation but later released, said spokeswoman Lori McDowell. McDowell said 3-year-olds Alejan dro Saenz and Carolyn Ybarra died at the hospital shortly before noon. Parkland Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Catherine Ellis said an 8-month old boy and a 1-year-old girl, whose names were not immedi ately released, died there shortly af ter noon.

Pipes said the cause of the fire is under investigation, but officials be lieve it started on a mattress in the apartment living room. HOUSTON (AP) — Threats, vio lent criminals and a loose security system are prompting many judges to tote pistols or hide a shotgun un der their benches during courtroom proceedings, the judges say. “I go armed all the time,” said State District Judge Allen Daggett, who once disarmed a man on the witness stand in his domestic rela tions courtroom. State District Judge Bob Rob ertson told the Houston Post he car ries a .32-caliber pistol and that most of the time he has the gun within reach while he’s on the bench. In the wake of a recent fatal shooting of a family court judge in Florida, concern at the Family Law Center is especially great. One state district judge, armed at times with a powerful .357-Magnum revolver, said, “I’ll give them the first shot but, boy, they better not miss.” Judges at the Harrii Criminal Courthouse descrl courthouse as a security nigka One armed judge said p: WIN I “charged with the worst cm; , , the world’’ share hallways asc: -, U ) ^ < ^ tors with the public — ine ^ 1 their alleged victims — in tht house built in 1954. ighway i Rainside \ moving s ijeople ar thorities s Dan H< olorado Unlike the federal com Houston, the county courthi not have metal-detector sysl security stations.

Democratic hopefuls are scheduled to speak at the Texas AFL-CIO convention in Austin, the annual meeting of the Mexican American Dem ocrats in El Paso and the Texas Coalition of Black Democrats meeting in Dallas. Sen. Albert Gore of Tennessee, Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri and the Rev. Jesse Jack- son are scheduled to address all three groups, officials said. In addition, Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois is to speak Saturday to the AFL-CIO’s convention. John Rogers, spokesman for the 210,000- member AFL-CIO said “all the Democrats were invited” to address the convention that opens Wednesday in Austin. Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware had been scheduled but canceled. “He is spending four days a week in Washing ton on the (Senate) Judiciary Committee pre paring for the (Robert) Bork confirmation hear ings,” Rogers said. Bork was nominated by President Reagan for the U.S. Supreme Court. Former Arizona Gov.
