ON lOOK HEAP, A COWLICK? OH, YEAH? LOOK WHO'S TALKING'** A GUV WITH TRIANGLE EYES Ah/t> NO PUPILS/ MIDLAND (AP) — Piles of bat guano in the Midland County Court house have residents screeching for removal of the animals and local of ficials flapping about the nuisance. Colonies of bats have been in the courthouse for years, coming and going at will in their nocturnal flights to feed, officials said. But as the numbers of bats grow, so grow the piles of guano, driving workers batty over what they say is a horror of stench. “After this last rain, I got com plaints about the smell,” said Mid land County District Attoney A1 Shorre Jr. His office is directly below the space where the bats roost.

Rei Th ante a\ s. !T] flavoi Kevin Thou .j Donna Harper, one of Shorre’s staffers, complained most vocally. “I can tolerate the bats,” she said. “It’s what they leave behind I can’t stand.” In their seasonal visits, the bats depart the courthouse about dusk in their flight for food, and return at about dawn to roost. “If you want some good fertilizer for your yard, that’s the best you can get,” courthouse maintenance su pervisor Gene Bishop said.

J GRAVEYARD PLAYING WITH HIS FRIENDS/ Ha bsee Quayie: Dukakis’ involvements in group suggest liberal stance AMARILLO (AP) — Republican vice presidential nominee Dan Quayie, continuing the GOP strat egy of painting Democrat Michael Dukakis as too liberal for American voters, said Wednesday that Dukakis had close ties to a group that advo cates deep cuts in defense. Quayie said that the group, “Jobs With Peace Campaign,” has extreme liberal leanings, the main feature be ing “radical” cuts in the U.S. defense budget. On Tuesday, Quayie called on Dukakis to resign his membership in the American Civil Liberties Union, another group the Republicans have attacked in saying Dukakis is out of touch with mainstream views. Quayle’s latest salvo came at a fund-raising rally for Rep. Beau Boulter, who is trying to capture the Senate seat of Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Under Texas law, Bentsen is al lowed to undertake both his Senate re-election bid and the vice presi dential race. Boulter is trailing badly in the Senate race. Quayie has barely mentioned Bentsen in his campaign swing through Texas. But he told Boulter, “We want you to be in the United States Senate this year.” GOP strategists say they want Quayie to concentrate his firepower on Dukakis, not on the No. 2 man on the ticket. Quayie said that Dukakis was on the advisory board of the Boston- based group, which supported a 25 percent cut in defense spending. Quayie said the list of advisers to the* organization read like a who’s who of the left wing of the Demo cratic Party. The list of advisers to the organi zation includes Jesse Jackson, George McGovern, Rep. Ron Del- lums of California and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. Dukakis’ goals and the group’s goals, Quayie said, was to cancel the MX, Midgetman and Star Wars weapons systems, the stealth bomber and to cut the M-1 tank, the type Du kakis rode in, by 50 percent. T he Re publicans have been making much of Dukakis’ ride several weeks ago in the tank at a General Dynamics plant in Detroit. Quayie said Dukakis had been more than an adviser to the group, testifying at a 1983 mock hearing launching “Jobs With Peace Week” and praising the group’s aims. “Yet now, in the midst of an elec- tid i 3, L rise: al by s ' TV irate psy Th Jous :ruct larc< leO Kn ew < iys.

Earlier Wednesday, the Indiaii senator had an upbeat mesasi when he addressed young peoplet an El Paso job corps center than rated as the nation’s highest intenii of placing youngsters in jobs, ai vanced training and the military. He told the mostly Hispanicaui ence, “The greatest opportunities!: life are still ahead of you. “We are confident in your fu ture,” he said. “We are confide: that you will be confident.’ Dr le h; ting itrac or.

Three officers were killed in a brilliant fireball over a Colorado prairie when a B-1B bomber based at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene collided with a lumbering pelican. Three others par achuted to safety. Many mourned for the three wives who were widowed and four children left fatherless in the nation’s first crash of a controversial B-1B. supersonic plane like a bowling ball at the speed of sound. With stinging criticism of the plane com pounding their pain of personal loss, the men and women of the 96th Bomb Wing who fly and maintain the B-1B rallied around “their” plane as closely as they did the survivors. But many others wondered how a $282 million state-of-the-art war machine could be downed by a bird. Accident investigators later said the 15-to-20- pound North American white pelican struck the One year later, the love affair between man and machine still seems to be as strong as it did before that warm autumn day. Elaine Whitlock wasn’t notified for nearly 12 hours that her husband, Maj. Wayne D. Whit lock, had been killed, but she said she knew it in her heart within minutes of the 10:54 a.m. crash. She said she had a premonition two nights be fore that something terrible was going to hap pen. Then, she said, God gave her peace. “When the peace came, I knew that meantlk Lord would be with me, and there would be 1\[ at the end of the tunnel,” she told the Abilffl Reporter- Ne ws. She buried her 39-year-old husband in kii family’s plot in his native home Tennessee oi Oct. 13, one day after their 13th anniversan Then she returned to Abilene to start what ski called “the rebuilding process” with her daugl ter, Amy, now 12, and son, Scott, nearly 8. She said the compassion shown her byherAli- lene friends has convinced her to remain here. T1 oar rst me atui enti tud In )r I )r t oloj Meanwhile, the family of the ill-fated plant! pilot, Maj.
