Main Bryan • T7*-27*6 Pom Oak Mall Collet* Slatlo«i'764-00l0 Tuesday, June20,1989 The Battalion Pages Post office hiring policies questioned by U.S. Rep. Leland DALLAS (AP) — A Texas con gressman has asked for a review of hiring practices at the Dallas post of fice. U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland, the Houston Democrat who leads the House subcommittee on postal oper ations and services, said he is con cerned too few Hispanics are work ing in the Dallas division of the U.S. Postal Service. “I would appreciate your review ing this matter and contacting me with your findings,” Leland wrote in a letter to Postmaster General An thony Frank. Ralph Stewart, a spokesman for Frank, said, “We are in the process of responding to the congressman.” While acknowledging that their percentage of Hispanic employees is below that in the available work force, postal officials defend their affirmative action efforts. And they say the disparity is caused by the small number of Hispanics who ap ply to post office jobs compared with Anglos and blacks. “I think we do a good job of re cruitment,” said Primo Marquez, di rector of human resources in the Dallas division. Leland became concerned that the division might be hiring Hispan ics at a rate below their proportion of the available workforce after U.S. Rep. John Bryant, D-Dallas, pro duced the agency’s hiring statistics. Of the 10,929 division workers, 758, or 6.9 percent, are Hispanic, according to statistics. But to reach parity with the Dallas County labor force and comply with its own affir mative action plan, the Dallas divi sion would need to employ at least 961 Hispanics, or 8.8 percent of its workforce. “We have heard of (hiring) com plaints in Dallas and of similar com plaints in Houston, and that’s enough to at least suggest that cer tainly the postmaster general ought to look into it,” Carlton Carl, spokes man for Bryant said. Clements sets record for number of vetoes in term AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem ents, wrapping up work on bills passed by the 1989 Legislature, has set a new record for vetoing legis lation. Clements vetoed a total of 55 bills from this session for a total of 179 vetoes during his two terms in office — 1979-1983 and 1986 to the pre sent, according to legislative records. Those vetoes broke the record of 117 by Gov. Dan Moody, who served from 1927 to 1931. But Clements also signed 1,263 bills from the 1989 Legislature — ranging from requiring that motor cycle riders wear helmets to a record state budget. Clements ended the bill spree by Sunday night’s deadline, vetoing a proposal that would have given debtors more protection on fore closed property. The legislation produced a major controversy between bankers and developers in the closing days of the session that ended May 29. Real estate interests had sought to make it more difficult for lenders to recover their losses on delinquent loans. Under current law, the price paid at the foreclosure auction establishes the “fair market value” for the prop erty and the lender can demand pay ment from the debtor on the out standing loan balance. The Legislature passed a compro mise plan that would have allowed the lender to foreclose, but the bor rower would have had the right to go to court to receive a determin ation of the property’s value and the amount of the outstanding loan bal ance. The difference in these two prices is called the deficiency. Clements vetoed the bill saying it would have resulted in numerous lawsuits. g,A@APE IHUIUIT 308 N. Main • .* \ • Bryan • Tues.-Sun.

Herndon’s six-member team was one of three American groups sent to the Soviet Union by the U.S. State Department after the June 4 explo sion involving two passenger trains. At least 650 people died and 700 others were injured in the explosion, which was caused when a gas line ex ploded, blasting two nearby trains. The accident occurred in a remote area near Ufa in the Urals region. Herndon said he was sent to Ufa, where he encountered a large num ber of burn victims, including 160 children. Herndon, who also has traveled to Mexico and Panama after various crises and served educational mis sions in several others, said he got off to a false start when the Soviet government rescinded its request for his original medical team as it was boarding a plane in Washington. The next day, he said, after he had returned to Galveston, the Sovi ets placed another request for a team specializing in children’s burns.
