Erb Reporter The federal government has elim inated national funding for weather modification studies, an area of re search that could possibly provide small-scale relief to areas of the parched nation. Dr. Phanindramohan Das, a mete orology professor at Texas A&M, defined weather modification as any process that changes weather condi tions from what they normally would have been. “But in modern terms, when we talk about weather modification we mean changing the precipitation we get from a cloud system,” Das said. A cloud with intermediate precip itation potential — a cloud that might have produced rain anyway — is seeded with silver iodide, creating a few particles of ice where there were none and speeding up the nat ural rain process. Robert Riggio, chief of the weather and climate section of the Texas Water Commission, said the government’s decision to eliminate funding for weather modification was made in the spring, before the drought had set in. He said he be lieves that if the drought had oc curred while the House Appropria tions Committee was discussing the issue, the funding would have been continued. “The interest in weather modifi cation is soluble in rain water,” Rig gio said. “Three years from now when an other drought hits and the interest builds back up they will start all over again,” he said. Dr. James Scoggins, head of mete orology at A&M, said although cloud seeding is not the answer to nationwide drought, on a local scale it could conceivably provide some relief from blistering heat and bone- dry fields. “If you are looking at drought on a large scale, as the one occurring over most of the country, weather modification could not have pre vented it,” Scoggins said. “But on the other hand, if you are looking at it locally, for example in the Brazos Valley, then the answer is probably, ‘yes, weather modification could help.’ ” Das said cloud seeding over the mountain slopes of Colorado has roven successful, increasing snow- all by as much as 10 percent, thereby increasing wat^r supply for streams, towns and irrigation. “I am convinced that sound scien tific research of this kind should continue,” Das said.

Republican gripe may force Dukakis to wait for funding Associated Press Michael Dukakis was greeted by cheering Massachusetts state em ployees Monday when he returned to the governor’s office for the first time since winning the Democratic presidential nomination. But a Re publican complaint was likely to force him to wait for $46 million in federal campaign funds. “This will probably add some time to the deliberative process,” Sharon Snyder, a Federal Election Commis sion spokeswoman, said of a GOP re quest that federal money be held up hand for his Senate race m GOP challenger Beau Boulter While there is no lidonhoui he can spend on his Senaie i paign, federal law limits direct 1 penditures in the presidentialci paign to the federal campaignful — divided equally between the itl party candidates. Dukakis campaign spokesul Leslie Dach shrugged off the p hie delay in receipt of the lion. fwc “Our campaign is moving ot steam ahead with plenty of i turn from the convention,”hex See related story, page 6 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A mil lionaire attorney, saying he was inspired by the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s call to help others, hired an air am bulance Monday to transport a crit ically ill reporter from Mexico City to Texas. Scott Lind, 34, who covered poli tics for the Mexico City News, has been in the American British Cow- dry Hosptial in Mexico City since slipping into a coma on July 13. Doctors have said that Lind, who previously worked for the McAllen Monitor, is suffering from viral en cephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. Lind’s parents, Lloyd and Eleanor Lind of San Antonio, have tried to get. their son back to Texas, where he could receive better care, but they lacked funds because the reporter did not have medical insurance. On Monday, attorney Frank Her rera presented Lind a check for ~~,200 to pay for an air ambulance transport. until the FEC can rule on questions raised by Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen’s pursuit of the vice presidency and re-election to the Senate at the same time. Vice President George Bush, like Dukakis, was off the campaign trail after winding up a trip Sunday night. Bush was polishing a speech in which he planned to call for tougher ethical standards for gov ernment officials and members of Congress. As for Bentsen’s races, Jann Olsten, executive director of the Re publican Senate Campaign commit tee, said Monday, “There is no ques tion that one is going to impact the other.” “A dollar spent by Sen. Bentsen in Texas, whether for the Senate or the vice presidential campaign, is going to directly and immediately benefit both,” said Olsten. “It just isn’t fair.” An unusual Texas law permits Bentsen to run for vice president at the same time he is on the ballot for re-election to the Senate. Bentsen’s latest campaign report showed him with $3.9 million on One sign of the kind of moi turn cheering the Dukakis cam] was a new poll taken in Texa Peter Hart Research Assodates, The survey of 502 likely votei! Friday and Saturday, the two immediately following the cratic Convention, said Dukakis® favored by 50 percent and BusiH 40 percent.

Man dies in Texas jail from acute cocaine intoxication ADDISON (AP) — An Addison man died in jail of acute cocaine intoxication after his arrest when he crashed a van into a fence, officials said Monday. Vernon Drake, 28, was pronounced dead on arrival at RHD Memorial Medical Center Sunday morning. The Dallas County medical examiner office ruled acute cocaine intoxication the cause of Drake’s death. Drake was arrested on suspicion of driving while in toxicated. Addison Police Chief Rick Sullivan said Drake had to be subdued after the accident. Acute cocaine intoxication causes the heart to beat so rapidly it becomes irregular and eventually fails. Stren uous physical exertion can contribute to the failure. Sullivan said Drake apparently was trying to seek medical attention when the accident occurred. Sullivan said the man’s girlfriend notified police at 9:45 a.m. that he called her about 7 a.m. saying he wasn’t feeling well and was going to a fire station nearby. Officers struggled with the man when he resisted ar rest, but paramedics examined him and determined he was fit for jail, police Sgt. L.P. Nolen said. Drake also resisted while on his way to the jail and, after he tried to kick out a windshield, officers tied his legs together, Sullivan said. He calmed down when he was placed in a cell, but re- tused to take a breath test. “It was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from out and in here, but he was quite calm,” Nolen said I told us he wanted to call his attorney and said hedit I want to take the intoxilyzer test. I talked withtt= length. He was semi-coherent — he seemed prett toxicated.” Drake was moved to a detoxification cell wW was seen through a security monitor behaving lessly, undressing, washing his face and lyingdow# “The jailer is watching him pretty much coni 1 1 and after three or four minutes notices he’s real! the chief said. “So the jailer walks back thereat doesn’t see him moving and he does not appear breathing.” Separately, an inmate at the Government Ceni in Dallas was electrocuted in an apparent accident Billy Dan Russem, 34, of Vernon, stepped on 1 shower at the jail Saturday afternoon, sat down at* electrocuted when he plugged in an electric head' to make himself a cup of coffee. Russem was to have been transferred Monday Texas Department of Corrections in Huntsville gin a 25-year sentence for drug possession, said County Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Ewell.
