Police slaying Warped
prompts call
for new officers
DALLAS (AP) — A law en
forcement support group on
Wednesday asked the Dallas City
Council to hire 150 new officers
as quickly as possible and to in
clude substantial police pay raises
in next year’s city budget.
David Dean, chairman of the
board of the Greater Dallas
Crime Commission, said the
1,250-member organization’s
concerns were heightened by
Monday night’s fatal shooting of
Dallas policeman Walter Wil
liams.
Dean, who appeared Wednes
day at a press conference with
acting police Chief Lou Caudell,
said the group also is calling a
public “round table” meeting for
next Monday.
Dean said that meeting will
give concerned groups and indi
viduals a chance to discuss the
lack of support for Dallas police
and allow them to start searching
for solutions.
“It’s great when the public
shows support after an officer is
killed in Dallas by turning on
their headlights, but that doesn’t
last,” Dean said.
Dean said many Dallas police
officers are “pretty well demora
lized” following the fatal shoot
ings of four officers and an unset
tling controversy over a citizens’
police review board this year.
Dean said the officers also are
often overworked, because they
must hold down part-time jobs on
off-duty time to make ends meet.

Duster protects cattle from insects
By Marianne Edwards
Reporter
Cows can now self-serve them
selves with insecticide because a de
vice developed by entomologist at
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
LiquiDuster provides a new, less
expensive method of protecting
cattle from flies that reduce milk and
beef production efficiency.
Dr. Jesse Cocke Jr. conceived the
idea for LiquiDuster in 1983 in his
work with the extension service, an
agency of the Texas A&M Univer
sity System.
“It just came to me all of a sud
den,” Cocke said.
The idea originated because beef
and cattle producers were finding
that flies had built up a resistance to
ear tags, a previous method of fly
control.
“Producers had to take tags out
and spray the cows, or change the
tags,” Cocke said. “That is very ex
pensive.”
The idea was to let the cows treat
themselves. The method had to be
one accepted by the cows. It also had
to be flexible, allowing the insecti
cides to be changed rapidly if resis
tance occured, Cocke said.
LiquiDuster works relatively sim
ple. One gallon of insecticide is at
tached to a series of continous-flow
wicks.
“The wicks come out of the can-
nister and go down from the bottom,
so that cows walk under and get trea
ted,” Cocke said.
The cannister is snapped in and
out, so a cannister with a new for
mula can be substitued if flies be
come resistant to the insecticide be
ing used. The duster was designed
originally for dairy cattle coming out
of exit walkways, Cocke said. The fi
nal product was co-developed by the
Lion in Winter’ demanding, complex
By Catherine Zudak
Reviewer
The scene was set for “God’s
year” 1183
women wore floor-sweeping dresses, the men
wore swords, and light filtered in through
stained glass windows — but it was only occasion
ally that the audience was swept back in time to
Chinon, the palace of King Henry II of England.
Admittedly, James Goldman’s “The Lion in
Winter” demands a lot of an actor. The only
characters are royal, they communicate the
i jamut of human emotions in rapid-fire witty dia-
ogue and the plot criss-crosses so often the audi
ence has to work as hard as the actors.
The action centers around King Henry’s de
sire to have his kingdom remain intact after his
death. He wants to name his youngest son John
as his successor. His wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine —
a powerful woman in her own right — wants
their oldest son Richard to be Henry’s heir.
To further confound Henry is another son,
Geoffrey, whom everyone ignores, King Phillip
of France, who also is plotting to get some of
France back from Henry, and Phillip’s sister
Alais, who at 23 has been engaged to Richard for
16 years and has been Henry’s mistress for the
past seven years.
The political conflicts overlap with confused
and hateful personal relationships requiring the
actors to convey multiple shades of meaning in
one clever comeback. Two of the actors stood out
as being the most successful at conveying the
depths of their characters and convincing the au
dience they were at Chinon.
Scott Kelly (Henry) built steadily from the
opening scene to grow into his role of King. By
the closing scene he had become Henry, a man
the
plagued by mortality and the victim of his own
passions.
Emma Reading (Eleanor) also brought to life
an extraordinary figure, expanding on the char
acter’s complexities in each successive scene. The
scenes between Henry and Eleanor had power;
intense personalities clashed on stage.
But each of the other actors had moments
when they captured not only the obvious emo
tions but the deeper feeling hidden in Goldman’s
clever dialogue.
Steven McCauley (Richard) and Mark Hadley
(Phillip) played a difficult scene extremely well
when Richard requests military aid from Phillip
and in the process their former love affair is re
vealed.
Jonathan Burke (Geoffrey) struck a delicate
balance in creating his character. He was both the
object of sympathy — for the boy neglected while
Henry and Eleanor fought wars with each other
— and repugnance — for the scheming, disloyal
man that resulted.
James Spencer (John) had a good physical
presence as an awkward teen-ager. He didn’t do
as well conveying the anger of a prince.
Kathy Schultz (Alais) adequately created the
obliging, walked-on but beloved object of Hen
ry’s attentions. However, Alais was overshad
owed by the more forceful Henry and Eleanor.
“The Lion in Winter” is no lighthearted fare,
despite the frequent wisecracking among the
characters. It demands concentration and sensiti-
Graphic by Carol Wells vity from the actors and from the audience. For
those theater-goers who are willing to do their
share, the Aggie Players’ production will meet
them at least halfway.
The Aggie Players, in conjunction with the
MSC Dinner Theater, are presenting “The Lion
in Winter” Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Din
ner starts at 6:30 p.m. and dinner reservations
must be made 24 hours in advance. Information

End to Gulf war may affect Texas oil price
HOUSTON (AP) — An end to
the Persian Gulf war could have a
significant impact on the price of
Texas crude, but whether the num
bers go up or down will depend on
how Iran and Iraq react to their new
found peace, industry analysts say.
A cease-fire agreement alone will
have no long-term effect on the
world oil market, experts say, but it
will allow both countries to rebuild
their war-torn production and trans
portation facilities.
Whether that results in hyperpro
duction to fund a postwar recovery
or an agreement to stay within
OPEC quotas remains to be seen.
New quotas could mean moder
ately higher prices for benchmark
West Texas Intermediate crude;
drastically increased Mideast pro
duction could mean a 1986-style
price crash, analysts theorize.
“It’s not an opinion, but a fact,
that once the war is over those coun
tries could export significantly more
oil within just a few months,” said
John Lichtblau of the Petroleum In
dustry Research Foundation in New
York.
“Up to now this has not been a
question because they couldn’t physi
cally do it.”
Tuesday, Iraq rejected any unilat
eral cease-fire imposed on the two
countries by the United Nations.
Iran has urged such a cease-fire but
Iraq wants face-to-face negotiations
with Iran before a truce is declared.
With regard to oil production,
analysts are split on which direction
the two countries may go, but prices
have already risen since first reports
of the possible approval by Iran and
Iraq of a United Nations cease-fire
resolution.
However, some experts think that

The duster was an instant success.
“The initial acceptance rate for a
new product is 15 percent for all
products worldwide,” Cocke said.
“LiquiDuster had over a 70 percent
acceptance.”
Cocke attributes this success
largely to the cost-saving benefits of
the product. The wicks are reusable
— only the cannister needs to be
changed.
“One gallon of insecticide has the
potential to treat 100 head of cattle
for 60-90 days,” Cocke said. “That is
50 cents per head, per year, over a
five-year period.”
Ear tags cost from $1 to $2.50 per
head, per year, he said.
The LiquiDuster is patented ex
clusively to the System, with Coopers
Animal Health having exclusive
rights to use the patent.

OPEC’s pricing committee is ru

But there is also speculation such
