Slllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll San Antonio group denie woman hid leftist ’ s arms SAN ANTONIO (AP) — An ecumenical group that works in El Salvador is discounting accusations that a woman associated with the organization hid ammuni tion and explosives for leftist guerrillas. But the White House was casting doubt Monday on the circumstances that led to the arrest of Jennifer J. Casolo, 28, a Connecticut woman associated with a San Antonio religious group. Casolo was arrested by Salvadoran police Sunday as authorities seized a cache of ammunition they said was buried under her house in San Salvador. Police briefly displayed Casolo for reporters, but she was not allowed to comment. “I find it very difficult to believe that Jennifer had anything to do with this,” said John Blatz, spokesman for the San Antonio-based Christian Educational Semi nar, the group with which Casolo is associated. Blatz called the accusations against Casolo “part of their persecution of the churches. That’s clear.” In Washington, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said, “There are indications of her involve ment, that’s for certain.” However, he offered no spe cifics other than to cite press accounts of “her role and her past history there.” “It’s fairly clear that these weapons were found there,” Fitzwater said. “I mean, we’re not talking about a small package of pistols here. We’re talking about tons of equipment and mortars and dynamite and rounds of ammunitions and explosives. This is hardly a case of someone having a few things flipped in their shopping bag on the way home.” Asked if it appeared she was guilty, Fitzwater replied, “There’s not much question that the material was there. ... I don’t know about her role.” The Christian Educational Seminar is a project of Christians for Peace in El Salvador. The seminar orga nizes delegations of North Americans to travel to El Sal vador, Blatz said. Casolo’s arrest prompted dozens at St. Mary’s Catho lic Church in San Antonio to pray for her and for six recently slain Jesuit priests and thousands who have died in El Salvador’s civil war. San Antonio Archbishop Patrick Flores called for U.S. military aid to the war-torn country to be stopped. “Instead of dropping bombs on each other, it would cost a whole lot less to drop food on our table eve day,” Flores said. “When are we going to learn than; world is chaos, because we, the men and women, not thinking?” Meanwhile, the mother and friends of Casolodenj the accusations of Salvadoran police. “Jennifer is working for the church,” AudreyCaa the woman’s mother, said. “She is working to help poor people.” Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., saidhewas: sured by the Salvadoran ambassador in Washing!! D.C., that Casolo would not be harmed. Maj. Mauricio Chavez Caceres, a Salvadoran ariE forces spokesman, said 40,000 rounds of ammun® for U.S.-made M-16 rifles, 40,000 rounds of ammi We’re not talking about a small package of pistols here.

Friends noted that Casolo’s arrest came amid a of harassment and arrests of church workers ofva denominations in El Salvador.

Legislature tries again Committee passes revised workers’ comp bill; Speaker urges Senate to accept House version Zips 90 AUSTIN (AP) — Speaker Gib Le wis said Monday he hopes the House will pass a business-oriented work ers’ compensation reform bill this week and that senators will change their minds and accept it. The House Business and Com merce Committee voted 7-0 for a bill backed by Lewis to change the way workers are paid for on-the-job inju ries. Lewis said he hopes the bill will win House approval Wednesday. The proposal, initially authored by Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby in a bid to break an 11-month stalemate, was heavily amended by senators before they sent it to the House. Minor, technical Senate amend ments were retained by the House sponsor, Rep. Richard Smith, and some other changes were made. But Smith, R-Bryan, said the bill sent to the full House is essentially that writ ten by Hobby and supported by Gov. Bill Clements. Lewis said the right plan could end lawmakers’ third try this year to overhaul the workers’ compensation system. The regular session and an earlier special session failed to end the impasse. “The bill that left the Senate was probably much, much worse than current law,” Lewis said. “We will under no condition accept that bill, or any bill that would resemble that.” Lewis said he has no reason to think votes will change in the Senate, but that he hopes “wisdom will pre vail.” Opponents have said portions of Hobby’s plan are unfair to work ers. The Senate-approved plan dif fered from Hobby’s measure, and from earlier proposals by House members, on the questions of calcu lating benefits and resolving dis puted workers’ compensation claims. Hobby’s plan would restrict jury trials in compensation cases. It also would establish a specific schedule of monetary payments for permanent injuries. Business lobbyists say large awards by juries and high injury benefits have caused increases in employer-paid premiums, which are up 148 percent since 1985 and scheduled to rise another 22 percent by Jan. 1. The Senate-passed bill would re strict the admission in a trial any is sues not raised at the state agency administrative hearing on a workers’ compensation case. But senators re fused to go along with requiring all potential evidence on every dispute to be presented at the administration level. The Senate bill also changed the so-called impairment schedule for S ermanent injuries, adding more exibility to the plan so benefits could be linked with a person’s abil ity to hold a job in his fieW. One amendment added I by the House committee wo the Houston Oilers’ football owner to deduct contractuali ity payments to players fronu ers’ compensation payments. Steve Wolens, D-Dallas, said. Lewis said that if Smiths passes the House, he hopes thei ate will accept it and avert the* for a conference committee tov out differences. “He jpefully, the wisdom of theta will just kind of just overcome: s entire East (Senate) sideoftheCil tol . . . and we can go home,"he!!sl Austin woman gives birth after dogs attack, maul her AUSTIN (AP) — Ap Austin woman gave birth to a 7-pound, 10- ounce boy hours after she was at tacked and mauled by two dogs who chased and killed her cat. Kathleen MacKenzie, 31, went into labor as a result of the attack at about 7 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of her apartment complex. Her son was born — six days before his due date — at 11:29 a.m. MacKenzie said she was trying to save her cat from an attack by a 110- pound Akita Japanese husky and a 50-pound pit bull terrier when the larger dog jumped on her back and knocked her down on her stomach. “That’s when my water broke,” she said. She ran to a neighbor, who re fused to call 911 for help. “I closed the door because I didn’t want to get involved,” the man said, who refused to give his name. “You just don’t know what kinds of people are hanging around apartment com plexes these days.” Another unidentified neighbor called for help. Police shot and killed the dogs when the animals started coming at the officers, Sgt. John Russell said. MacKenzie underwent surgery to her right arm three hours after the baby was delivered by Caesarean sec tion. She also suffered a 5-inch cut to the back of her head, puncture wounds on the left side of her neck, scratches on her back and abdomen and scraped knees, hospital spokes man M.A. Bengston said. She was listed in stable condition. Her son, Andrew Scott, was in good condition, Bengston said. The dogs’ owner, Joseph Cher- noff, was issued two citations for having dogs at large, Russell said. Chernoff said he had owned the Akita, named Kado, for 14 months and the pit bull terrier, Mozart, for eight months. He said the two were worth $5,000. “I knew I would eventually lose the big dog,” Chernoff said. “He’s bitten some friends before. He doesn’t like strangers to touch him. If they (police) shot him, I’m not shocked. I’ve thought about shoot ing him myself.” Two guests accidentally left the door to his house open early Sun day, allowing the dogs to escape, he said. After searching for three hours, Chernoff said he reported them missing to police. “These were probably the two fin est dogs in Austin except the big one was born with a bad personality,” Chernoff said. “I don’t understand them shooting the little one, I never will.” Chernoff said he always kept the two dogs — who ate steak and shrimp instead of dog food — in doors.
