She already knows this foe can kill — her son was a victim. Gang violence killed Arthur Sand oval. He was 15. His mother mourned, then rose to face the gangs and say enough is enough. She formed “Mothers Against Gangs,” a call to action for those like her who’ve seen so many young lives destroyed, so much blood shed and so many dreams snuffed out. accept you or tolerate you.

It’s all the families in the community. Only together can we send the message we’re not goine: to Arthur died in January 1985. He and a buddy had gone to look for the friend’s sister and found her talking to Five gang members. A fight broke out and as Arthur and his friend were leaving, a sixth gang member appeared. He stuck a knife into Arthur’s heart, pulled it out and stabbed him again. Sandoval later tracked down the woman who had cradled her dying Three gang members identified Arthur’s killer, Sandoval said, but he had no job or family to keep him in the area and police weren’t opti mistic about capturing him.

The 1989 Texas Savings and Loan League conven tion, which represents nearly all of the state’s remain ing 200 thrifts, comes as Washington lawmakers de bate President Bush’s thrift rescue plan. Linder the plan, more than $157 billion would be spent in the next 10 years to sell or liquidate hundreds of insolvent savings and loans. “Repositioning the league for the future will be a major agenda item,” said Michael Cornwall, incoming chairman of the association and chairman of Guar anty Federal Savings Bank in Dallas. The two-day meeting included appearances Mon day by Rep. Steve Bartlett, R-Texas, and Barney Beeksma, chairman of the U.S. League of Savings In stitutions. Bartlett opposes the administration’s plan to double the thrifts’ capital requirements by 1991 and fav ors a 1993 deadline for raising the capital stand ards. Beeksma’s organization has come under fire for opposing nici cased government oversight of thrifts. M. Danny Wall, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, and George Barclay, president and chief supervisory officer of the FHLBB of Dallas, are scheduled to appear Tuesday. Tom King, president of the Texas Savings and Loan League, said the Austin-based organization plans to focus on three primary issues this year. “We support the proposal for risk-based capital re quirements, but you can’t do it overnight,” King told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He said thrifts that present a viable business plan to regulators should be given adequate time — beyond 1991 — to increase their capital to 6 percent of total assets. “We also are concerned about the possible dumping of real estate on the Texas markets,” King said. “This is a major concern of ours, and we will be watching the situation closely.” Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady and top U.S. regulatory officials have said the government does not intend to sell billions of dollars in real estate owned by insolvent thrifts at below-market prices. Court postpone man’s execution to review case HOUSTON (AP) — The seta tiled execution this week of a lev death row inmate convictedofslw ing a security guard was resei next month, a prosecutor saidMn day.

(AP) —A fired Texas wildlife official faces a preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges of illegally netting antelope in New Mexico and taking them to Texas. Charles Allen, former wildlife di rector for the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, is charged with illegally trapping three antelope from a helicopter Jan. 30.He is ac cused of catching the antelope on a southern Otero County ranch and taking them to a Texas ranch. Steve Hartmann of Midland, who administers PUF land in West Texas, said he had granted Allen permission to trap 40 antelope on the state-owned land for the Parks and Wildlife Department to trans plant elsewhere. “If they went over the (state) line, I think it was an accident,” Hart mann said Monday. “There was no reason to go up there because there are plenty of antelope on stateland.” After the preliminary hearing, state Magistrate Henry Prelo will decide whether Allen should stand trial on three fourth-degree felo ny counts of unlawfully transport ing game animals and three misde meanor counts each of illegal tak ing of animals and illegally captur ing antelope while airborne. The state boundary is marked only by a barbed-wire fence separat ing the Hat Ranch from the univer sity-owned land, which is leased by an Albuquerque-based ranching company. Allen is accused of being the net gunner in the helicopter. The helicopter pilot, Charles “Cheater” Bella of El Paso, was not charged in the incident. An affidavit for criminal sum mons alleged that Allen netted the antelope on the Hat Ranch in south ern Otero County and took them to the Cornudas ranch a few miles south, in Texas. But Allen really took the antelope to Permanent University Fund- owned land where he trapped about 37 other antelope. Allen, who had been wildlife di rector for two years, was fired April 5 by Charles Travis, the Parks and Wildlife Department’s executive di rector. Travis gave no reason for the fir ing and said he believed Allen was innocent of the New Mexico charges. Bella, the helicopter pilot, is best known for flying the chopper used in a dramatic escape last summer of three inmates from the state peni tentiary at Santa Fe. Bella maintains he flew the escape mission at gunpoint, but he faces charges of aiding an escape.
