Bentser an w essm£ plan to withdm gouth f “I’m certainly not claiming all the answers are here, hut it is still a legitimate response for the federal gov ernment to get involved,” Rep. Ron Coleman said after Rep. Kika de la Garza questioned the success of the pro posed Southwest Border Regional Commission.

Coleman’s proposed commission would include state and federal officials representing Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, who would review and approve applications to fund housing, health, water resources, vocational and technical education, and sewage treat ment. Coleman argues a such a concerted approach is nec essary to address a legacy of long-term neglect in the most economically depressed region of the country. But de la Garza said the border’s complex problems will persist as long as the United States is a magnet to Mexico’s poor in search of a better life, and until the states fail to get tough on the developers of unincorpo rated communities called colonias, which have no roads, running water or sewerage connections. “Until the states provide the infrastructure for con trolling the situation . . .we could dump all the money in the world and the situation would not be corrected,” said de la Garza, who like Coleman represents a border district dotted with colonias. “We’ve had about five commissions and tasl . . . the Southwest Border Commission, ambz. this, ambassador that . . . and the first thing the, send an anthropologist to measure our heads, ^ la Garza, a Mission Democrat and chairman House Agriculture Committee. “Sometimesitgtt trating. “We’ve got a peculiar situation on the borderkt of an accident of geography and history as it ret; economics,” he said.

Syvhat 1 d In: U.S. public health system L erodes to unnecessary ris MOR hamro /ednes Bompan •jbpxin al Ppould Ik I The ( WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. public health system, largely a victim of its own success, has eroded to a point where Americans are at unnecessary risk, a National Aca demy of Sciences panel said Wednesday. Members of a committee formed by the academy’s Institute of Medi cine declined at a news conference to put the blame on any particular ad ministration or segment of the health community. “I think this is something that has evolved over time,” said Bailus Walker Jr., professor of environ mental health and toxicology at State University of New York in Albany and president of the American Pub lic Health Association. Nonetheless, they said the system probably is less equipped to cope with health emergencies than it was 20 or 30 years ago and that the first task is to get the public to accept that there is a problem. “Our guard is now down,” said Richard D. Remington, chairman of the committee and professor of pre ventive medicine and environmental health at the University of Iowa. “The American people must under stand that everyone’s health will suf fer in the long run if we do not take care now to rebuild the capability of and confidence in our public health agencies.” The report itself said, “We have slackened our public health vigilance nationally and the health of the pub lic is unnecessarily threatened as a result. Public health is a vital func tion that is in trouble.” Joseph Boyle, executive vice presi- Irom its lictims.

I The s lederal j I Diann Ireland war spares none, kills many SIXMILECROSS, Northern Ire land (AP) — The elderly manager of a hardware store in this farming vil lage remembered Brian Mullin as a friendly lad, a bricklayer who often dropped by for supplies. “Hejust got caught up in the trou bles because he knew nothing else,” the manager said. “He’s only one of hundreds of young men in the area who have been harassed every day by the security forces.” Mullin, 25, and two other local Ir ish Republican Army men died in a British army ambush Aug. 30 as they drove along a country road near Drumnakilly, 5 miles north of here. Their funerals over the weekend drew mourners from all around the area and hundreds of riot police. The mourners, mostly Catholic, and the police, mostly Protestant, faced each other in stony silence. Police said the three dead men were armed and dressed in ski masks when they died. The London news papers called them terrorists, mur derers and “IRA rats.” But in the countryside of County Tyrone, many residents knew these part-time guerrillas or their families and spoke of them in sympathetic terms. Their deaths helped exacerbate the divisions between local Catholics and the IRA’s most frequent targets in rural districts — the police and the Ulster Defense Regiment. “There’s a majority of Protestants with nothing wrong with them,” said a 28-year-old decorator sitting on a grassy bank outside Dunmoyle Cath olic Church on Saturday waiting for Muffin’s hearse to pass. “It’s those that join the security forces we can’t live with,” he said, glancing at policemen searching mourners at a crossroads at the start of a two-mile trek to Muffin’s family farm outside Sixmilecross. Like the store manager, he spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing retaliation for criticizing the police. “If you come up this road at 2 or 3 in the morning, and you’re stopped by them, you’re sure to get a kicking because of who you are,” he said. “The police force would be welcome, surely, if they were 50-50 (Catholic- Protestant) and they were fair.” ——— World briefs _ Security forces in Burma shoot looter RANGOON, Burma (AP) — Mobs plundered government of fices and warehouses Wednesday, and state radio said security forces shot five looters. Diplomats said chaos was near and prepared to evacuate their families. Opposition leaders called for a nationwide general strike against 26 years of repressive one-party rule on Thursday. Leaders hoped for the largest of the many mass protests that have driven two gov ernments from office in less man two months. Looters ranged through the capital, and one Western diplo mat said: “The streets are de serted. People are pretty much in fear of their property. Thkfj have pretty much closed dot: There is a widespread percep that things have deteriorated.
