MIDLAND (AP) — Piles of bat

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.

Donna Harper, one of Shorre’s

“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.

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.

Quayie headed to Dallas

Earlier Wednesday, the Indiaii
senator had an upbeat mesasi

He told the mostly Hispanicaui

“We are confident in your fu

Plane crash still haunts memories
Re
ABILENE (AP) — A year ago Wednesday the
eyes of the nation turned to the West Texas town
of Abilene.
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.

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
