GALVESTON (AP) — Officials of
the Emergency Operation Center
say the tropical depression that
washed ashore Monday morning
served as a good dry run for further
storms.
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.

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.

Judges forced to toll
guns for protection
in security-lax courts 6 $
Patricia Rodriquez, 4, was in good
condition at Parkland’s burn unit
where she was transferred from Ar
lington Memorial. Rodriouez, Saenz
and the two children wno died at
Parkland had the same mother, Mc
Dowell said.
Firefighters were en route to a
substation when they passed the bur
ning apartment, said Lt. Gary Pipes,
a spokesman for the Arlington Fire
Department. They reported the fire
at 10:24 a.m. and haa it under con
trol about 15 minutes later.
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.”

Presidential candidates begin touring state
AUSTIN (AP) — Several Democratic presi
dential candidates will tour Texas this week,
hoping to win support from Hispanics, orga
nized labor and blacks.
“The March primary will be before us sooner
than people realize,” said Ruben Bonilla, chair
man of Mexican American Democrats of Texas.
“There’s very little time in which to familiarize
ourselves with the philosphy and character and
integrity of the candidates.”
Texas will be the largest state participating in
the March 8 Southern “super primary,” and
Texas will send the third-largest delegation to
the 1988 Democratic National Convention.
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. Bruce Babbitt is sched
uled to be campaigning in New England, Rogers
said.
