Cisneros decides
to withdraw name
in mayor election
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Mayor
Henry Cisneros, one of the country’s
leading Hispanic politicians, said
Monday he has decided against run
ning for a fifth term in order to en
ter private life.
The 41-year-old mayor, whose
term will expire next spring, said he
made his final decision only shortly
before addressing a news conference
Monday afternoon about his future
plans.
Cisneros, who was interviewed by
Walter Mondale for a vice presi
dential running mate role in 1984
and who has been mentioned fre
quently as a possible Cabinet-level
appointee, said he thinks 14 years
serving the city is enough and that it
is time to move on.
“It’s been work and it’s been fun,
but mostly, it’s been the most engros
sing and fulfilling thing I’ve ever
done,” Cisneros said.
“Basically, I’ve been at it for 14
years — eight years as mayor and six
as council member. That’s a long
time to go at full throttle,” he said.
“Our country believes that eight
years in a high office should be
enough to get a job done.
“Presidents serve eight years.
Governors serve eight years. And
eight years is a good round number
for a mayor, especially this one,” he
said.
Last year, Cisneros said he would
not be running for statewide office
because he wanted to devote time to
San Antonio projects and to his son,
John Paul Anthony, who was born
with a congenital heart defect and
with stomach abnormalities.
Earlier this year, Cisneros, a for
mer president of the National
League of Cities, turned down an of
fer to make a keynote address to the
Democratic National Convention,
saying he wanted to devote time to
the city projects, including a contro
versial domed stadium proposal and
a regional water plan.
Cisneros, who has met Pope John
Paul II and Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev, was approached earlier
this year by several San Antonio
businessmen about the prospect of
forming a business to handle busi
ness investments.
The mayor’s salary is less than
$5,000 and the mayor, with two ado
lescent daughters and an ill infant,
had supplemented that income with
lectures, columns and speaking en
gagements, but had to cut back be
cause of the health of his son and the
time-consuming city projects.
Cisneros said he needs to find a
good-paying job because his two
daughters are approaching college
age and because the medical ex
penses for his son are sure to in
crease.
“Today is a little sad for me — it
has to be,” Cisneros said. “But I ex
pect to wake up tomorrow morning,
ready to make the most of the next
eight months, same pace, same en
ergy, same devotion to the city until
midnight of the day before the next
mayor takes office.”
Church teacher: Pilot
says God intervened
GREENVILLE (AP) — The pilot
of ill-fated Delta Air Lines Flight
1141 told his Sunday school teacher
that God must have intervened to
spare so many lives when the jet
crashed at Dallas-Fort Worth Inter
national Airport.
Capt. Larry Davis’ Sunday school
teacher said the pilot did not expect
to survive the Aug. 31 crash that
killed 14 of the 108 people on board.
The pilot was eager to be inter
viewed by the National Transporta
tion Safety Board, which was trying
Monday to schedule a time.
“I think he thought he was going
to die,” Ed Wichern, who talked with
Davis, said at Parkland Memorial
Hospital in Dallas about the crash.
Wichern, a teacher at Aldersgate
Church where Davis is a member,
quoted Davis as saying when he real
ized his plane wasn’t going to make
it, “‘It’s all right with me, Lord.’
“I think he said something like,
‘You don’t get out of a cockpit in an
airplane crash like that with fuel
flooding over you,”’ Wichern said
Sunday.
Davis, 48, was piloting the Boeing
727 when it crashed seconds after
takeoff and burst into flames. The
three-man cockpit crew and some 91
passengers survived the crash.
“We feel like God intervened,”
Wichern said. “Otherwise, why
would so many people live through a
plane crash like that?”
Davis was trapped in the cockpit
for 30 minutes and was the last to be
removed from the plane.
“I told him it must have been a
scary 30 minutes,” Wichern said.
“He told me, ‘What 30 minutes?”’

The pilot does neat fully recall the
time he lay injured in the plane, the
Rev. Ralph Anderson, pastor of
Aldersgate, said.
However, Anderson said some

“His jaw is wired together, but you

Officials advise homeowners to test for radon
aid.
ake e
iroos
vould
AUSTIN (AP) — The Environ
mental Protection Agency and the
Public Health Service advised all
homeowners Monday to get their
homes tested for deadly radon gas in
light of new findings showing far
more contaminated homes than ex
pected in seven states and a newly
discovered radon-prone soil forma
tion in Minnesota and North Da
kota.
Nearly one in three homes tested
in the seven states had radon con
centrations exceeding the EPA
guidelines of four picocuries per
liter of air.
But in Minnesota 45 percent of
the homes tested exceeded the
guidelines, and in North Dakota 60
percent exceeded guidelines.
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas
resulting from the radioactive decay
und
own
of trace amounts of uranium f
in all soil. The gas kills when its <
radioactive decay products lodge in
the lung and irradiate tissue.
Previously, EPA has estimated
that radon inhalation could account
for 20,000 of the nation’s 130,000
annual lung cancer deaths, about 85
percent of which would he the result
of smoking.
In the past, based on smaller sur-
vey:
pro
;, EPA had estimated ill
portion of homes naiiorw
ling it’s guidelines probali
between 8 percent ana 12 pc
An Energy Department stud'
mated the proportion at 7pen
The agency also surveyed 1
on Indian reservations'in Mid
innesota and Wisconsin,win
mt of the homes in resen:
exceeded the guidelines.
