Texas S&Ls report
loss of $1.6 billion
in second quarter
DALLAS (AP) — The state’s 281
federally insured thrifts posted $1.6
billion in losses for the second quar
ter, but 85 of them managed to stay
in the black, officials said.
As a group, the profitable Texas
savings and loans institutions had a
net income of $43 million between
April and June, according to a re
port issued by the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board.
But $1.7 billion was lost by the
state’s 196 other thrifts, and the
losses make it apparent that Texas is
at the source of the industry’s most
precarious financial predicament
since the 1982 recession, officials
said Monday.
The heavy losses from Texas sav
ings and loans dragged down earn
ings results for the entire industry,
the FHLBB report said.
Board economist James Barth
said Monday,“The losses in the sec
ond quarter incurred by the industry
were reflected almost entirely in
what happened in the state of

AMA: AIDS war calls
for sfiffer penalties
to halt drug dealers
AUSTIN (AP) — The battle
against the spread of AIDS should
include stiffer sentences for drug
dealers, the president of the Ameri
can Medical Association said Tues
day.
Dr. William S. Hotchkiss, a sur
geon from Chesapeake, Va., said
about 15 percent of current AIDS
patients contracted the deadly dis
ease through the illegal use of intra
venous drugs.
Experts believe the sharing of
contaminated needles is among the
ways that acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome is spread.
against the spread of AIDS,” Hotch
kiss said. “It’s not the most impor
tant part. A lot of the drug users are
lv
totally uneducated. They don’t read
anything. They are hard to teach
anything.
“I think that all of us are going to
have to consider very seriously
cracking down a whole lot harder on
drug dealers,” Hotchkiss said at a
news conference. “The United
States is not as tough on drug deal
ers as many other countries. They
sure are responsible for spreading a
lot of this disease.”
“That is in contrast to the usual
homosexual, most of whom are col
lege graduates, productive people
and have ajob,” he said.
Intravenous drug users are part
of the link that has brought AIDS
from the homosexual community to
heterosexuals, Hotchkiss said.
“I think if they pick up these peo
ple for selling drugs to users and
really give them a stiff sentence,”
Hotchkiss said, “. . . they will sit there
in prison and they’ll start thinking
seriously, T don’t know whether I
want to spend eight or 10 years (in
prison) just not to tell where I got it
or who my main supplier is.’
He said a stepped-up war on
drugs might be the only way to pro
tect drug abusers from AIDS, which
destroys the body’s ability to fight in
fection.
“It’s an important part of the fight
“I think we can lead up the ladder
and get to the root suppliers.
They’re the ones you don’t get to,
and they’re the ones that have got to
be caught and stopped and pun
ished and put away for 40 years if
we’re ever going to get anywhere.
We’re not getting those people
now,” Hotchkiss said.
U.S. authorities hold man
accused in Mexico murder
EAGLE PASS (AP) — A Mexican
accused in the shooting and burning
death of a man in Mexico was in the
custody of U.S. immigration offi
cials, who said Tuesday they plan to
prosecute him for alleged violations
of U.S. laws before turning him over
to Mexican authorities.
Abel Jaimes, 40, of Tejupilco,
Mexico, is believed to have been
smuggling Mexican citizens into the
country for 25 years and brought
hundreds of undocumented work
ers into Texas, authorities said.
Jaimes, who was living in a house
in Round Rock, was arrested in Aus
tin Friday by members of the Austin
police’s Hispanic Crimes Unit, he
said.
Austin law officers had been
watching for Jaimes for three weeks
after federal police in Mexico said he
was wanted in connection with a
slaying committed June 30.
In that killing, the victim was
taken to a field south of Mexico City,
shot at point-blank range and his
body set on fire, police said.
Late Monday, officers from the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service took Jaimes to the Border
Patrol station in Eagle Pass.

The bank board reported Friday
that the thrift industry nationwide
suffered $1.6 billion in losses be
tween April and June, the biggest
of 1
surge ot red ink in at least four
years.
Many regions of the country have
reported profitable results in the
first half of the year, but Texas
thrifts tipped the balance into the
red during the second quarter.
Most of the second-quarter loss by
Texas savings and loans was re
flected in a $1.1 billion addition to
loan-loss reserves by unprofitable
Texas thrifts — a $500 million in
crease from the loan-loss reserves re
corded in the first quarter.
In the first quarter of 1987, the
U.S. industry recorded $100 million
in net income.
“As everybody knows, (Texas
thrifts) faced economic troubles in
recent years and they’re trying to
deal with them in a presumably
prudent manner,” Barth said.
