Drought relief
may be delayed
by funding cuts
By Susan B. 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

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

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
