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.

Soviet doctors’ skills
impress Texas medic
GALVESTON (AP) — A Texas
burn specialist who helped treat vic
tims of a Soviet train disaster said he
was awed by the wave of injuries but
impressed by the Soviets’ reaction to
the victims.
“We were extremely impressed
with their technical abilities and
their compassion and drive in such
an adverse circumstance,” said Dr.
David Herndon, chief of staff at the
Shriners Burns Institute and a pro
fessor of surgery at the University of
Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
“The facilities in fact were quite
good and the physicians were quite
good, but the number of patients
was quite huge for any one team to
be able to undertake.”
Herndon said he was surprised to
see successful treatment techniques
that differed markedly from Ameri
can procedures.
“We really were impressed with
the Soviets’ openness, the way they
allowed us in and shared ideas with
out any hesitancy or distrust,” he
said.
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.
