HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A recommen
dation to remove murderers, rapists and
drug dealers from the list of felons who
can be furloughed could force the early
parole of some dangerous criminals, a
state legislator said.
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.

Terrell said if the corrections board
approves the recommendation limiting
the types of inmates who can be fur
loughed, it would cut down by 25 per
cent the number who are allowed to visit
their families.
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

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.
Hightower questioned whether it is
wiser to grant early parole to higher-risk
convicts or grant five- to seven-day

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.
Officials at Midland National lit!
headquarters in Sioux Falls, S.D.it
clined several requests for intern

The director of the company’s tl

areas where AIDS might be lessor|

Rex Shannon, chairman andchiefiiI

Smuggler launders money at exchange housf
BROWNSVILLE (AP) — Account ledgers seized
by federal agents show a convicted drug smuggler de
posited nearly $1.3 million in one month last year to be
laundered through a Rio Grande Valley money ex
change house, according to testimony Tuesday in the
federal trial of Antonio Franco.
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
