Sites for smelter cut to two
Copper plant supposedly headed to Texas City
HOUSTON (AP) — Site selection
for a inultimtllion-dollar copper
smelter that will create hundreas of
jobs has been narrowed to the Texas
City-Houston Ship Channel area
ana Uncle Sam, La., a Mitsubishi
Metal Corp. consultant confirmed
Thursday.
Speculation has centered on
Texas City as the final choice for the
plant since a Louisiana state official
Wednesday told a business seminar
that the election of George Bush
helped steer the Japanese company's
decision.
But the president of Mitsubishi’s
U.S. subsidiary and consultant
Thomas S. Mackey of Texas City-
based Key Metals and Engineering
said Thursday the final site has not
been chosen.
“We’ve narrowed it down to
Texas and Louisiana,” said Mackey,
who has served as a consultant to the
project for mdre than three years.
“Texas City is certainly one of the
prime cities in the ship channel area,
oecause it’s one of tne deep-water
ports."
The tiny Louisiana town of Uncle
Sam is located on the Mississippi
River, about midway between New
Orleans and Baton Rouge.
Hiroshi Sakurai, president of the
Tokyo corporation’s New York-
based subsiaiary, said Thursday only
that Texas City “may be" one of the
final sites remaining from hundreds
that had been considered for the
plant.
He said three sites remained as
contenders for the plant, but
Mackey said Baltimore recently had
been eliminated from the competi
tion.
“We worked for about two years
to squeeze down from over 1,000 lo
cations to these three,” Sakurai said
in a telephone interview from his
New York office. “And also we
graded the three and the place we
found best suited is now under re
view, but we have not made a final
decision.”
Izuma Sukekawa, project man
ager for the copper plant and the
Tokyo company’s general manager
for metallurgy, was in Texas City on
Thursday, but Mackey said he was
not there to inspect any sites.
"We’ve done all the site inspec
tions months a^o,” Mackey said.
“We’re now looking at the data, try
ing to finalize a conclusion.”
Sukekawa will recommend the
best plant site to company officials in
Tokyo, who will make a final deci
sion “within weeks,” Sakurai said.
Mackey said an announcement
could be made by the end of the
month.
The copper smelter, estimated to
cost between $200 million and $300
million, probably would employ 200
or more people and result indirectly
in the creation of 100-200 jobs, Sa
kurai said.
Arnold Lincove, secretary of the
Louisiana Department of Economic
Development, caused a stir Wednes
day when he told a business seminar
that the company would locate its
copper plant in the Houston area.
And U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm of
Texas said Thursday he is optimistic
that Mitsubishi will announce plans
Palestinians hold strike
in honor of Gaza revolt
GAZA CITY, Occupied Gaza
Strip (AP) — Israeli soldiers killed a
teen-ager by shooting him in the
heart, and the 1.5 million Palestin
ians held a general strike in the occu
pied lands Thursday, the first anni
versary of their uprising.
The death of Yussef Mohammed
Sbaith, 17, raised the number of Pal
estinians killed to at least 320 since
the rebellion began Dec. 8, 1987, in
the West Bank and Gaza Strip. More
than 7,000 Palestinians have been
wounded, and 11 Israelis also have
been slain.
An army spokesman said Sbaith
was shot in the heart when troops
were stoned during a sweep in the
West Bank village of Kafr Rai.
Soldiers also wounded a 22-year-
old woman in the leg after meeting
“violent resistance" from stone
throwing youths in Kafr Rai, said the
spokesman, whose name cannot be
revealed under army rules.
Hospital officials said a 23-year-
old man suffered head injuries from
a beating by troopers.
Army gunfire wounded six other
Palestinians in Nablus, the West
Bank’s largest city, and in Gaza City,
Arab doctors said. One of those
wounded m Nablus was a 14-year-
old boy shot in the stomach, they
said.
Arab witnesses said two of the
wounded were hit by bullets fired
from the wirylow of a house the
army used as a lookout post in the
open-air Nablus market, the center
of manv clashes between soldiers
and Aran youths.
Palestinians closed businesses and
halted public transportation
throughout the occupied territories.
The underground leadership,
which the Palestine Liberation Orga
nization supports, called the strike
for the anniversary of the revolt in
the West Bank and Gaza, which Is
rael captured from Jordan and
Egypt in the 1967 Middle East war.
Israeli military authorities put all
eight Gaza Strip refugee camps un
der curfew, confining more than
250,000 Palestinians to their homes.
Throughout the coastal strip, Pal
estinians erected road blocks and
burned tires in sporadic acts of defi
ance. About 20 Palestinian youths
were seen lobbing rocks from a bar
ricaded alley in Gaza City.
by early next year to build the
smelter in Texas City.
Gramm said he had been in touch
with the chairman of the board of
Mitsubishi and the University of
Texas over sale of property to the
Japanese company. Ui holds con
siderable property in the ship chan
nel area, Mackey said. 4
The smelter would produce semi
finished copper, known as “anode,”
and primarily would be supplied by
mining operations in Chile, Sakurai
said. Mitsubishi already has invested
in the mine, which is expected to
start producing in 1992, he said.
Sakurai said the cost of the plant
would depend on whether Mitsubi
shi would have to construct a ship
ping facility or purchase property
with a port already in place.
Site selection for the plant also fo
cused on proximity to markets for
byproducts, such as sulfuric acid and
non-hazardous slag, often used in
roadbuilding and insulation, Mackev
said.
"We have to decide our final
(plant) location within weeks, and
tnen there is quite a lot of time nec
essary to construct a plant,” Sakurai
said. “It will take about two years, or
maybe a little more, to have it oper
ating.”
Continuing recovery
tops ’89 Gramm plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
Phil Gramm says keeping Texas'
economic recovery on track tops his
agenda for 1989, but he's also plan
ning to make the troubles facing ru
ral hospitals “a major issue.”
“The economic recovery in Texas
started last year and I want to be
sure we build on that,” Gramm said
Thursday.
“We’ve been picking up steam for
the last two years,” he said. “But in
the last four years we’ve not shared
in the national prosperity because of
problems in the oil industry, the fi
nancial industry and real estate.”
At the heart of his plans are a bi
partisan proposal to bring stability to
the oil industry, securing funding
for a host of federal projects in
Texas including the super collider,
negotiations to open export markets
and beginning work on creation of a
free-trade zone with Mexico.
He is also dealing with industries
considering locating in Texas and is
optimistic Mitsubishi Metals Corp.
will announce plans by early next
year to build a copper smelter in
Texas City.
He saia it would involve an invest
ment of about $300 million and cre
ate several hundred jobs.
Gramm said he had been in touch
with the chairman of the board of
Mitsubishi and the University of
Texas over sale of th$ property to
the Japanese company.
Gramm said he alos had been ne
gotiating with many other industrial
prospects but none was firm enough
to announce.
He is also considering giving up
his seat on the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee to take a post on the
Appropriations Committee.
“It’s a tough decision,” Gramm
said. "I’m really torn. I’m trying to
sit down now and look at everything
I need to work on related to Texas’
interests next year.”
Gramm said virtually all spending
decisions will be made oy the Appro
priations Committee as it wresdes
with the budget deficit, and he said
he believes “it would give me an op
portunity to do more things that are
important to Texas.”
Gramm said he would continue to
press for funding of Sematech, a re
search consortium of semiconductor
companies in partnership with the
Defense Department.
He is also seeking $50 million for
final construction of Navy home-
ports in Corpus Christi and Galves
ton, and anticipates some “heavy lift
ing” in convincing Congress to
authorize the initial construction
money for the $4.4 billion super col
lider atom smasher, which would be
built in Waxahachie.
He also hopes to bring other na
tions into a super collider consor
tium. including Japan and the Euro
pean Community.
If President-elect Bush decides to
deploy MX missies with a rail garri
son, Gramm said h<9 will push for
Dyess Air Force Base to be chpsen as
the garrison site.
Gramm is also planning a series of
seminars in Texas dealing with the
troubles of rural hospitals “to be
sure the federal government under
stands the problem and understands
our perspiective on the problem. I in
tend to make that a major issue next
year.”
Twenty Texas hospitals have
failed this year, another 17 closed in
1987, and there were 18 failures in
1986, according to the Texas Hospi-
tal Association. About half were in
rural areas.
"We’ve got to come up with a
fairer way of reimbursing (these hos-
f iitals) to prevent these hospitals
rom closing,”•Gramm said.
Rural hospital officials say one of
their biggest problems is that they
are reimbursed less for Medicare pa
tients than their urban counterparts.
More affiliation between urban
medical centers and rural hospitals
could be part of the solution.
Gramm said.
Other priorities include the sav
ings and loan crisis, cleaning up pol
lution of the Rio Grande with a tar-
f ;eted appropriation of $8 million
or sewage disposal facilities at La
redo and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,
site of the worst pollution of raw
sewage into the river.
He said he also wants to make the
Gulf of Mexico a protected area
from ocean dumping and pollution.
Diarrhea kills 500 kids annually in U.S.
A health
CHICAGO (AP)
problem that many Americans may
regard as only distressing — diar
rhea — is fatal to 500 U.S. children
each year, most of whom could
probably be saved, researchers said
Thursday.
Diarrhea is a known major cause
of childhood deaths in developing
countries, but such deaths are gener
ally thought to be relatively uncom
mon in more economically advanced
nations, the researchers said.
But new research suggests that di
arrhea accounts for 10 percent of all
preventable deaths in U.S. young
sters ages 1 month to 4 years old,
said Dr. Mei-Shang Ho of the Na
tional Centers for Disease Control in
Atlanta.
"The key here is early treatment,”
Ho said in a telephone interview
Thursday.
Diarrhea is life-threatening when
it causes severe loss of fluids and
electrolytes — body salts such as so
dium and potassium — that are nec
essary for normal functioning of
nerves and muscles, including the
heart. Ho said.
Lost fluids need to be replaced
with electrolyte solutions containing
glucose, a form of sugar, she said.
The solutions can bej bought ready-
to-drink at grocery ir^ehug stores
without prescriptions^Srie said.
\
Infants who can’t keep the fluids
down or who lose more than they
keep need to be taken to a doctor.
Ho said.
