CARROLLTON (AP) — A local
doctor who contends the world pro
duces more than enough food to
feed everyone has started the first
area chapter of Results, a lobbying
organization that wants to make
third-world countries more self-suf
ficient.
David Pillow, director of the
emergency department at Trinity
Medical Center in Carrollton, said
“We’re flooded with food. We want
Congress to know there is a group
out here that is interested in non
partisan humanitarianism. We’re a
voice for the hungry, the homeless,
the children.”
Results was founded in 1979 to
educate lawmakers and government
figures about world hunger.
Pillow, 41, said 4 million people in
the Third World die each year from
dehydration alone, usually as the re
sult of diarrhea.
Yet simply adding a pinch of
sugar and a pinch of salt to a liter of
water increases by 25 times the
body’s ability to retain water.
The group’s aim is to lobby for
any action that helps poor people be
come self-sufficient.
Pillow mentioned, for example, a
bank in Bangladesh that granted a
loan of $1 to a woman who had
made her living as a beggar.
“With the dollar she bought some
bangles and ribbons and began sell
ing them door to door,” Pillow said
to the Dallas Times Herald.
“It’s amazing, but she’s now self-
sufficient,” he said.
Last year, Results was instrumen
tal in the passage of the Microenter
prise Act.
The act targeted $50 million in
U.S. foreign aid for loans to the
poorest of the poor, such as the
woman in Bangladesh.
It also played key roles in incrti
ing aid to small farmers in den
oping nations and increasing [
amount spent on child-nutritioiu:
health programs in the Hi
World.

HOUSTON (AP) — Federal and
state game wardens hope they halted
some of the intimidation of hunters
on public land with an undercover
operation which over the weekend
netted a man known as the “bull of
the woods.”
Tommy L. Williams, 53, of Mont
gomery, was apprehended Sunday
after he led a group of about a dozen
companions who allegedly tried to
take game from other hunters and
eject them from the Sam Houston
National Forest, Billy Ball, special
agent for the U.S. Forest Service,
said Monday.
Unknown to Williams, however,
the “hunters” were federal and state

were to be filed against him, Ball

“We were hunting the hunters
this weekend,” said Ball, who partici

Houston in Montgomery County.
“Our concern is all these threats
going on. There will be additional
undercover operations.
Authorities say incidents of intim
idation have increased recently on
federal forest land as the number of
hunters increases and the amount of
free hunting land dwindles.
“Due to these threats going on,
we’re going to be utilizing other un
dercover operations,” Ball said, add
ing that if a person insists on using
intimidation to keep hunters off
public land, “He won’t know if he’s
encountering real hunters or not.”

AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Railroad
Commissioner John Sharp proposed
a tax incentive Monday for produc
ers to go after billions of barrels of
oil that remain in the ground in
Texas.
“This bill has been designed to
provide a clear winning proposition
for every aspect of the Texas econ
omy,” Sharp said at a news confer
ence with Rep. Rick Perry, a Haskell
Democrat who will sponsor the tax
incentive measure in the next legis
lative session.
The measure would provide tax
credits for producers who undertake
enhanced oil recovery projects,
which are designed to produce more
oil from wells and reservoirs near
the end of their production under
conventional methods.
State Comptroller Bob Bullock es
timated the proposed tax incentive
— a 50 percent severance tax
exemption for oil produced from
new enhanced recovery projects —
would cost the state $459,000 the
first two years.
The cost is from projects that nor
mally would have paid 100 percent
of the tax without the incentive pro
gram.
But Bullock said if any new pro
jects begin because of the proposal,
the tax loss could easily turn into tax
gains for Texas.
At the current price, every addi
tional million barrels recovered adds
$13 million to the economy and
$299,000 in severance taxes, Shat:
said.
Representatives of the Texas
dependent Producers and Roy
Owners Association; EastTexasPrt
ducers and Royalty Owners Associ;
tion; Texas Mid-Continent Oil an:
Gas Association; and Amoco Corf
said they support the bill. Julia:
Martin, TIPRO executive vice pre:
dent, said “The real future in oil
not exploration, but enhanced oilrt
covery.”
The bill substantially increases
chance that the enhanced recover
projects will be done by makin
them more attractive financial
