The 375-30 vote is not the final word on Congress’ latest effort to re spond to Americans’ fears over drug abuse. The Senate still must consider its own anti-drug legislation, and a conference will likely be needed to reconcile competing versions. Despite constitutional concerns, even by sponsors, the tug of election- year politics was so strong that House members appeared willing to enact the toughest possible bill and let the courts decide the legal ques tions later. The bill received support from 207 Democrats and 168 Republi cans, while all 30 votes against the legislation came from Democrats, virtually all of them liberals. The legislation pursues many ave nues of combatting illegal drugs, and would authorize the addition of more than $2 billion in spending to the nation’s current $3.9 billion anti drug effort. The amount could he a factor if overall spending levels force across-the-board, automatic budget cuts. This bill is distinguished from past anti-drug legislation by its so- called “user accountability” provi sions —^measures that say even the smallest amount of drug use or pos session will not be tolerated. Drug users would be subject to $10,000 civil penalties per violation for mere possession; would be ineli gible for student loans and other federal benefits; and would face loss of their right to drive, if states en force license suspension programs to obtain more federal highway money. For those who kill during a drug- related crime, the legislation con tains legal procedures designed to permit use of the federal death pen alty. But the legislation does not ignore education, treatment, and rehabilita tion for drug abusers, authorizing more money to the states for such programs. Federal and local law en forcement agencies would receive more money. Former policeman killed drug agent LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former Mexican policeman was found guilty Thursday of the 1985 kidnap and torture murder of a U.S. drug agent, a slaying he once described to an un dercover officer as “a mistake.” Raul Lopez Alvarez, 28, was con-- victed of killing Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique Cam- arena and his pilot, Alfredo Zavala Avelar. Three men were charged in the internationally sensitive case. Jurors returned to court early Thursday to deliver their first verdict after only one day of deliberation. They then returned to the jury room to discuss charges against the other two de fendants. Rene Verdugo Urquidez, 36, an admitted drug trafficker, also is charged with Camarena’s murder, and Jesus Felix Gutierrez, 38, is charged with helping drug baron Rafael Caro Quintero escape from Mexico after masterminding Cama rena’s murder. All three defendants appeared pale and shaken when the verdict was announced. Camarena was abducted Feb. 7, 1985, in Guadalajara when he left the U.S. Consulate to meet his wife for lunch. The bodies of Camarena and his pilot were found weeks later buried at a remote ranch. They had been severely beaten and Camare na’s skull was crushed. During the eight-week trial, jurors heard an audio tape of Camarena’s interrogation by his abductors and his pleas for them to stop beating him. “He paid the price in the most sav age, barbaric, unbelievable manner,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jimmy Gu- rule said in his summation. “Beaten and beaten and beaten until his life slowly slipped away, drained from his body.” The case stirred bitter feelings be tween Mexican and American offi cials after Mexican police were linked to the killing. World briefs FAA requires wind shear device usage WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday ordered airlines to equip all their aircraft with de vices that will help pilots detect and escape from deadly wind shears. Powerful shears called micro bursts have been called the num ber one killer of airline passen gers and have been responsible for at least five fatal airline crashes and 500 deaths in the last decade, according to aviation safety experts. The FAA regulation was an nounced by the Transportation Department, which said the de vices, to be phased into operation in all aircraft of 30 or more seats over the next four years, will cost $40,000 to $50,000 per airplane. About 3,600 commercial jet transport planes also will be re quired to have the devices, de partment officials said. A microburst is a powerful downburst of air caused by a sud den change in wind direction. Such a downburst struck a Delta Air Lines L-1011 as it was at tempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth in 1985 and literally forced the plane into the ground, killing 134 people. The accident focused in creased attention on developing and installing sophisticated ground radar that would provide advanced warning of shears. Soviet troops move to curtail rioting MOSCOW (AP) — Tanks and troops rolled into two southern Soviet republics Thursday where protesters in an ethnic dispute at tacked a prosecutor’s office, ral lied by the hundreds of thou sands and staged strikes. Foreign Ministry spokesman Vadim Perfiliev told a news brief ing in Moscow, “The situation is not improving. It has become even more threatening.” Authorities imposed a 9 p.m.- to-6 a.m. curfew in Stepanakert, the main city of the Nagorno-Ka rabakh region, center of the dis pute between Armenians and Azerbaijanis that’s been going on since February. Violence in the region this week killed one per son and hurt 48. Protesters, who want the area to be taken from Azerbaijan and made part of Armenia, attacked the city’s prosecutor’s office in Stepanakert Thursday. “There are soldiers on every street, at every crossroad, check ing passports and personal cars,” a man who answered the tele phone at the state radio and tele vision office, Gostelradio, in Ste panakert, said. Nagorno-Karabakh, in the Caucasus Mountains, was vir tually at a standstill and sealed off because of ethnic tension. Higher airfares blamed on deregulation WASHINGTON (AP) —Mem bers of a Senate committee on Thursday faulted airline deregu lation for raising airfares for many Americans and leaving some cities dominated by carriers that control local air service. But Transportation Secretary Jim Burnley told the Senate Com merce Committee that even though “the airline industry has its flaws,” nearly 10 years of de regulation has benefited most travelers. “Overall the airline industry has become much more compet itive as to price and service as a result of economic deregulation,” Burnley told the legislators. Burnley cited statistics showing that since 1978, domestic air traf fic has grown from 275 million E assengers to more than 450 mil- on, while average fares have de clined 13 percent, adjusted for in flation. The secretary said that if most Americans are asked if deregu lation has been helpful, “You’ll find an overwhelming perception that the country has benefited enormously.” c Qarfieldg Jfegtauraqt & cPub Fun and Fine Food College Station’s Newest Restaurant Featuring Seafood - Hamburgers - Prime Rib - Sandwiches *2.95 LUNCH SPECIALS DAILY DINNER SPECIALS Happy Hour 4 pm - 7 pm & 9 pm - dose Jom Garfield’s Beer Club 54 Beers of the World Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner 6 am - 11 am Sun-Thurs 6 am - 12 mid Fri-Sat Bring this ad with you and rceive a FREE FRIED CHEESE APPETIZER a> 150^S. j Texns.Av^..
