Foundation to help teach
about AIDS in Spanish
EL PASO (AP) — The El Paso
Conut!uiuty„EQundatiQn will match a
$50,000 grant for educating Span
ish-speaking youth about the dan
gers of AIDS.
“We are hoping to work with or
ganizations that address the Span
ish-speaking population and high-
risk groups, especially young peo
ple,” said Janice Windle, the founda
tion’s executive director.
AIDS is expected to become the
leading cause of death among peo
ple ages 20 to 35 in the next two to
three years, she said.
The grant is part of a multimil-
lion-dollar national AIDS education
and assistance program funded by
the Ford Foundation and other phil
anthropic organizations. Eight other
areas across the country are taking
part in program.
The El Paso Community Founda
tion will match the grant for a South
west border states education pro
gram, Windle said. It will work with
local organizations, such as the
Southwest AIDS Committee, the El
Paso City-County Health District,
the Hospice of El Paso and the La Fe
Clinic, to plan the best use of the
money, she said.
The El Paso group will work with
the California Community Founda
tion and other foundations in Albu
querque, N.M., Tucson, Ariz., Phoe
nix, Ariz., and San Diego to
coordinate how they will spend their
$50,000 grants.
“By working on AIDS funding,
we’re hoping to make it safe for peo
ple to step up and say they’re wor
ried about this and will do their
part,” Windle said.
The partnership is designed to
pool money from the Ford Founda
tion, corporate donors and other
philanthropic groups to help local
organizations provide housing, day
care, counseling and education for
AIDS patients and their families.

Juror admires former leader
of KKK tried for conspiracy
HOUSTON (AP) — One of the jurors who acquitted
13 white supremacists in a recent federal seditious con
spiracy trial said he admires former Ku Klux Klan
leader Louis R. Beam, one of the defendants.
Juror James A. Closser said there wasn’t enough evi
dence to convict Beam, a former KKK grand dragon
from Houston who was one of 13 defendants on trial
recently in Arkansas.
“I admire the man,” Closser, 67, of Van Buren, Ark.,
said of Beam during a telephone interview Monday
with the Houston Chronicle. “I’ll guarantee you, it (the
trial) was a mess.”
But juror Archie L. Crawford had a different view of
Beam.
“Fd like to hang Beam, personally,” Crawford said.
“But there wasn’t any evidence to convict him.”
The 13 defendants were variously charged with sedi
tious conspiracy, plotting to assassinate a federal judge
and transportation of stolen money. Beam was charged
only with seditious conspiracy, the violent overthrow of
the U.S. government.
The 12-member jury voted unanimously for acquit
tal. Closser and Crawford said they and others agreed
the federal government’s prime witness was a liar.
“They just didn’t have anything on him (Beam),”
Closser said. “I don’t think the man has done anything
to go to jail for. People have a right to talk. This is a
country where you have free speech.”
Closser said Beam, 41, did a good job in court of de
fending himself.
