San Antonio congressman:
Man he struck was armed
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep.
Henry Gonzalez, in a rambling hy
perbolic speech on the House floor,
claimed that a man he punched at a
San Antonio restaurant last year was
armed with both a nine-inch hunting
knife and a deadly “plastic” gun.
The 71-year-old San Antonio
Democrat has not said anything pre
viously about a gun being a part of
the incident, which occurred at a res
taurant Dec. 4 after a patron called
him a communist.
The 26-year veteran congressman
now claims that the man, William Al
len, had the the weapon tucked into
his left pocket and attempted to
draw as Gonzalez approached after
overhearing him say he was “our No.
1 communist.”
“As I approached him and got
closer, I noticed in his left pocket he
had one of these new dangerous
deadly so-called plastic guns,” Gon
zalez said in a special order speech
on the House floor Monday.
"When I said, ‘Stand up and look
me in the eye,’ he pushed back
again, Clint Eastwood style, like you
see in the movies when you see the
quick draw and all of a sudden he
has gunned down eight people,”
Gonzalez said.
“He dropped his hand to the scab
bard and his left arm to the pocket.
“I then hit him on the right cheek.
“I did not punch; I pulled my
punch because 1 did not want to hit
him at any other than that which
would cause him to restrain that
movement of moving toward that
knife,” Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez, who was an amateur
boxer in his youth, left the 40-year-
old Allen sprawled on the restaurant
floor with one blow to his face.
Afterward, two companiK
guided the congressman from:

Rescuers of toddler
to be acknowledged
at Midland festivities
MIDLAND (AP) — On the day
named after Jessica McClure, res
cuers who helped pluck the toddler
from the depths of an abandoned
well will be feted with a parade,
speeches and loads of stuffed ani
mals.
Gov. Bill Clements issued the
statewide proclamation Wednesday
designating Thursday as “Jessica
McClure Day,” saying those who
helped Jessica showed Texans’ sense
of caring, compassion and concern.
“Texans across our great state
continue to marvel at the strength
and resolve evidenced by Jessica Mc
Clure and her rescuers before and
after her dramatic rescue,” Clements
said.
“That strength and determination
has drawn the collective respect of
those in Texas, the United States
and throughout the world,” the gov
ernor said.
About 450 police officers, fire
fighters, utility employees and other
workers aided in the rescue of Jes
sica.
The 19-month-old girl fell into a
well two weeks ago and was trapped
for 58 hours, during which she
screamed for her mother and sang
“Winnie-the-Pooh.” The volunteers
controlled crowds, helped drill a res
cue shaft and provided refresh
ments.
Jessica remains at Midland Memo
rial Hospital, recovering from inju
ries she suffered in the ordeal.
She won’t be able to attend the
festivities, but her parents. Chip and
Cissy McClure, will take part, orga
nizer Norma Webb said.
Webb said she doesn’t know how
many rescuers will march in the pa
rade and noted that many of the vol
unteers initially were reluctant to
participate for modesty’s sake.
“A lot of those who expressed re
luctance reconsidered after they
were told their presence was re
quested by the McClures, and I ex
pect a lot to appear,” she said.
The small parade will be com
prised of the volunteers, a couple of
high school bands and the Midland
College drill team. Mickey Mouse
and Winnie-the-Pooh will visit from
Disneyland. The McClures will
watch from a reviewing stand.
“Various people were trying to
honor the volunteers, and it was too
fragmented, so they (McClures)
asked the city and chamber to put it
together,” said Webb, a Chamber of
Commerce volunteer.
The parade is scheduled to begin
at 4 p.m. CST at the hospital and will
end about 40 minutes later at Cen
tennial Plaza downtown.
At the plaza, there will be a release
of balloons, an Air Force jet flyby
and thank-you speeches by Mayor
Carroll Thomas and Chamber of
Commerce Chairman Charles
Spence.
The McClures will present each
rescuer with a black-and-white
photo of Jessica being pulled from
the well.
Each picture will be signed by the
McClures with their thanks, Webb
said.
Well-wishers swamped Jessica
with more stuffed toys than she can
ever use, so her parents will give
some away to rescuers’ children,
Webb said.
A 6-foot-square get-well card
from San Angelo is expected to ar
rive in Midland Thursday, signed by
thousands of West Texans.
