Cost of bilingualism
requested by group
AUSTIN (AP) — Leaders of a
group promoting English as the offi
cial language of Texas called on the
Legislature Thursday to make Com
ptroller Bob Bullock report on the
cost of “govermental bilingualism.”
The American Ethnic Coalition
said Bullock had maintained that
costs of printing government forms
in Spanish as well as English were
not available, and added, “It smacks
of fiscal irresponsibility for the Leg
islature not to have this information
available.”
Lou Zaeske, coalition founder and
chairman, said in refusing to pro
vide such information, “Mr. Bullock
is doing nothing but pandering to
supporters of a bilingual Texas —us
ing tax monies — really, I think, to
sort of start campaigning for lieuten
ant governor.”
The coalition also said it wanted
legislators to adopt a resolution
asking Attorney General Jim Mattox
to issue an opinion on the constitu
tionality of bilingual government op
eration and on Spanish “being arbi
trarily selected as the second
language to be used.”
Asked for examples of bilingual
government, Zaeske mentioned tax
notices from Bullock in Spanish and
driver’s license manuals made avail
able by the state highway depart
ment.
Zaeske earlier noted bilingual
election ballots, and the coalition
Thursday said it would support leg
islation to repeal a law that requires
the Texas Employment Commission
to print forms in Spanish and En
glish.
Zaeske, who has announced for
the state Senate next year, said, “We
have confidence that within the next
two or three weeks some ‘Official
English’ legislation will be intro
duced in the Texas Legislature and,
of course, in the United States Con
gress.
“This Official English battle —
war, or however you want to charac
terize it — is going to be a long ong
oing kind of thing with our ultimate
goal being to see that we can com
municate with one another in a com
mon language, that our government
reinforces that common language,
Spends our tax monies to do that,”
Zaeske told a news conference.
Roy Ontiveros of Dallas, executive
vice chairman of the American Eth
nic Coalition, said the coalition has
“discovered that we have the num
bers” to pass legislation to make En
glish the official language of Texas if
it can get such a proposal out of
committee to a floor vote.
Texas lawmakers feel
black Texan war hero
merits Medal of Honor
AUSTIN (AP) — The state House
passed a resolution Thursday urging
Congress to award a posthumous
Congressional Medal of Honor to a
black war hero from Texas who
gunned down Japanese aircraft dur
ing the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Seaman Doris “Dorrie” Miller, a
Waco native, deserves the Medal of
Honor, and the award would be a
symbolic gesture to other blacks who
fought valiantly for the United
States, said Rep. Jerald Larry, D-
Dallas.
Larry and Rep. Ken Marchant, R-
Carrollton, co-kuthored the resolu
tion.
The resolution “simply adds sup
port to those in the Congress who
would like to see Congress correct a
longstanding injustice against Afri
can-American servicemen who
served in World War I and II,”
Larry said.
Miller has been described as one
of the first American heroes of
World War II for his actions during
the Japanese sneak attack on the
U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on
Dec. 7, 1941.
Miller had enlisted in the U.S.
Navy in 1939 and had been a mess
steward on the battleship West Vir
ginia.
When the Japanese attacked,
Miller moved his wounded skipper
to safety and then manned a ma
chine gun and shot down two Japa
nese aircraft. Miller maintained his
position until ordered to abandon
the sinking ship.
For his actions at Pearl Harbor,
Miller received the Navy Cross.
Miller was killed in a torpedo attack
in 1943. In 1971, the Navy named a
Knox-class frigate after him.
“He has been recognized to some
extent for his feats of heroism,” said
Larry, but added the Medal of
Honor “is the highest expression of
recognition that our nation pays to
its heroes.”
“It is alarming that out of 529
Medals of Honor awarded during
both world wars not one of the 1.5
million blacks, who fought to protect
the liberty and freedom of America
20 years prior to the passage of the
Civil Rights Bill of 1965, received
the award,” Larry said.
Last year, a bill by U.S. Rep.
Mickey Leland, D-Texas, would
have awarded the Medal of Honor
to Miller, but the bill died in a con
gressional subcommittee.
Leland will file the bill again in the
current session of Congress, accord
ing to Saudi Stevens, deputy com-
municatons director for Leland.
Proposed fee
for immigrants
earns criticism
EL PASO (AP) — Texans reacted
with skepticism Thursday at a lobby
ist group’s suggestion that every per
son who enters the United States le
gally he charged $2 to pay for
improved fences and border patrols.
“People can barely afford to pay
that,” said Debbie Nathan of the El
Paso-based League for Immigration
and Border Rights Education.
“That’s about the daily Mexican
minimum wage — which is why they
come to work here in the first place.”
The proposal was in a report re
leased Thursday by the conservative
Federation for American Immigra
tion Reform.
“Where a fence exists at all, it of
ten lies torn and tattered,” read the
report, titled, “Ten Steps to Secur
ing America’s Borders.”
“Gaping holes invite illegal entry”
and efforts to patch them are
doomed to fail, the report said.
FAIR assistant director Patrick
Burns said the group advocates us
ing $2 crossing fees to build better
fences, hire more Border Patrol
agents and install more electronic
sensors along the border.
Study: Fish in Trinity River
contain high pollutant levels
FORT WORTH (AP) —Stretches
of the Trinity River are so polluted
by toxic chemicals that many species
of fish and wildlife that should live
in the Texas watercourse simply
aren’t there, a new federal study
concludes.
“If you are concerned about fish
and wildlife, you should be con
cerned about this,” said Roy Irwin, a
federal wildlife biologist who con
ducted the study.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice study, released on Wednesday,
was based on field studies conducted
in 1985 along a 250-mile section of
the river. The report found severe
impacts on fish in the river from
Fort Worth’s Village Creek Sewage
Treatment Plant to as far as south
east Dallas County.
The study, titled “Impacts of
Toxic Chemicals on Trinity River
Fish and Wildlife,” was started in
July 1985 after a large fish kill down
stream from Dallas.
It reported that many pollution-
tolerant species found downstream
from Dallas contained levels of toxic
chemicals high enough to cause con
cern about such predators as bass
and some birds.
Lesser, but significant, shortages
of fish species were detected in
downtown Fort Worth and just east
of the city. The study didn’t say
whether contaminated fish or wild
life pose a threat to people.
Irwin said fish and wildlife sam
ples were collected at 27 sites along
the river.
Contaminants found to be most
consistently above concern levels
downstream of Fort Worth and Dal
las include PCBs (polychlorinated bi
phenyls), PAHs (polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons), chlordane, chro
mium, lead and mercury.
Much of the damage was blamed
on chlorinated and raw sewage, in
dustrial and residential runoff, mu
nicipal landfills and illegal dumping.
“It’s all cumulative,” said Irwin.
“A whole bunch of increments add
up to a big impact.”
Irwin’s 86-page study analyzed tis
sue samples from up to 1 7 species of
fish, turtles, clams and crayfish. It
was released as many cities and the
federal government confront the
problems of urban runoff and wast
ewater treated with chlorine.
