Charles Terrell of Dallas, prison board chairman, said Monday that a subcom mittee of the Texas Board of Corrections is expected to recommend later this month that the board disallow furloughs to anyone convicted of murder, drug dealing or rape. The furlough program allows qualify ing inmates weeklong unsupervised vis its to their families. State Rep. Allen Hightower, D-Hunt- sville, said any move to restrict the fur lough program would not only destroy the prison system’s most effective man agement tool but also would be against federal court orders governing prison re form. It also could force the early parole of even more dangerous criminals, High tower, chairman of the House Correc tions Committee, said. TYPING/WRITING SERVICE by professional.

Hightower said such a move could end up creating even more capacity problems for TDC, which already is unable to han dle the number of convicts sentenced to its facilities. The state prison system is under fed eral court order to limit population to 95 percent of capacity. Inmates who are on furlough are not counted in the daily bed space, High tower said. passes to inmates who have reached trusty status. Terrell, however, said he doesn’t be lieve that crowding problems will be in tensified by a more-restrictive furlough program. Terrell ordered a freeze on furloughs to convicted killers after learning that about 5,000 felons, including 517 con victed of murder or voluntary man slaughter, have been furloughed inIm | since 1987. No murderers have committed »| crime while furloughed and no have been furloughed, but Terrell aids I just doesn’t like the perception of pH f ing passes to those types of criminals Hightower said Texas' programistis I most successful in the United Stalest cause less than 1 percent of inmatesi»| mit crimes while on furlough. TDC has used the furlough program as a way of controlling bed space and any great restriction on the program would result in more crowding in the prison system, the nation’s third-largest, he said.

Los Angeles, CA 90025 Custom research also available—all levels DALLAS (AP) - group has filed a By Sherri Roberts Staff Writer Alis doesn’t live in the Sterling C. Evans Library anymore. Alis, the computer information system previously used by the library, was re placed by NOTIS — the New Online Texas A&M Information System. In a ceremony inaugurating the new system yesterday afternoon, Irene Hoad- ley, director of the library, said that No- tis will allow the user to search for books not only by author and title, but also by subject heading and key words. A committee of A&M faculty recom mended the purchase of NOTIS to the Board of Regents in May 1987 after viewing several library automation sys terns. So far, $600,000 has been spent on the system, said Candace Benefiel, public information officer for the library. More money will be spent on NOTIS, she said, as it continues to grow and expand. The addition of NOTIS to the library comes at a time when many have crit icized the quality of services the library offers. Currently, the new system is available only at terminals throughout the library, Hoadley said, but remote access to NO TIS will be available later this semester. The remote-access function will allow users with personal computers and mod ems to use NOTIS from their apart ments, dormitory rooms or other loca tions. The NOTIS database now includes re cords for books and journal titles in the Evans Library. Records representing government documents and microform collections eventually will be added, Hoadley said. A&M President William Mobley said that inadequate state funding was a factor accounting for the library’s low ranking in terms of quality. Mobley spoke to the state House of Representative’s education committee yesterday about the critical need for li brary funding in a university as large as Texas A&M. In addition to increased state funding. Mobley said a reorganization of Univer sity fund allocations and escalated fund raising efforts were necessary to upgrade the library’s quality. - A Texas gay rights complaint with the State Board of Insurance over an insur ance company’s directive, which re quired people living in certain neighbor hoods to take the AIDS blood test. The Dallas Times Hem Id reported Tuesday that Midland National Life In surance Co. requires AIDS screening only in certain metropolitan areas. The newspaper said that in recent newsletters, the company told its agents to check its list of ZIP codes before writ ing policies for more than $100,(XX) in Texas, California, Rorida and New Jer sey — states with high numbers of AIDS cases. The areas include Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston in Texas; Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego in California; Miami in Florida; and the Newark area of New Jersey. Many insurers test all applicants for large policies and deny coverage to car riers of the fatal virus. Tom Doyal, an attorney for the Texas Human Rights Foundation, said Texas regulations allow AIDS testing on a non- discriminatory basis, but this is believed to be the First time a company has re quired blood tests only in selected geo graphical areas. The foundation defends the legal rights of homosexuals. Doyal said he filed a complaint last month against Midland National Life with the State Board of Insurance in Texas. Glen Maxey. executive director of the Lesbian-Gay Rights Lobby, said the company’s practice sets a “dangerous precedent.’’ Maxey said he fears other insurers might use ZIP codes to target spe-ci areas that are known to have signifies | homosexual populations.

Franco is accused in a 25-count indictment charging that he and Oscar Alvarez-Ortiz, owner of Oscar’s Money Exchange in McAllen, smuggled drugs through the Rio Grande Valley from Mexico and laundered millions of dollars in drug profits through the money exchange house, known along the border as a “casa de cambio. ” Franco and Alvarez also are charged with conspir acy and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and marijuana, failure to file currency transactions and money laundering. The indictment accuses them of onperating a contin uing criminal enterprise and a racketeer-influenced corrupt organization during 1987 through those alleged activities. Also named in the indictment is suspected drug smuggler Ricardo Garza, who remains a fugitive. Franco also was indicted in Rockford, Ill., on drug charges, was since convicted and is serving a 35-year prison sentence. Texas Department of Public Safety narcotics investi gator Joe Garza testified Tuesday that he and other of ficers discovered ledgers during a June 24, 1987, search of the exchange house indicating Franco made a 1979 Camaro loaded low mileage. $2500 O.B.O.
