was a regularly scheduled inspection.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at ihei
partment, said restaurants with scores of95orabo\t
generally have excellent operations and facilities.Hi
said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low Si
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said, becaun
restaurants can get the same score by havingseveri
minor violations or a few major violations. He sad
the minor violations can be corrected during thein-
spection. Point deductions or violations in the report
range from one point (minor violations) to fii f
points (major violations).
Jefferson said the department might close a to.
taurant if the score is below 60, the personnel kt t
infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequateti-
frigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building
or the restaurant has a complete lack of sanitiutim
for the food equipment.
The department inspects each restaurant eren
six months. Jefferson said a follow-up inspectiotn
sometimes required if a restaurant has a four-or
five-point violation that cannot be corrected duriin
the inspection, or if there are numerous small viol),
dons.

Richards discounts allegation
of drug use, blames opponent
Associated Press
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ann Richards
on Thursday denounced an unattributed allegation
that she was in a restroom where several women ap
peared to be smoking marijuana almost 11 years ago.
“Do you think this country has reached the point now
... that unsubstantiated people can say what they want
to and suddenly it takes on the vein of truth by appear
ing on television and in the newspapers?” Richards said
at a campaign stop in Dallas.
Richards blamed her runoff opponent in Tuesday’s
primary election, Attorney General Jim Mattox, for
spreading rumors about alleged drug use.
Mattox has said he possesses sworn statements from
people who say they know Richards used illegal drugs
in the past. But Mattox repeatedly has refused to reveal
the names of those people or offer any other evidence
to back up his drug accusations.
The Houston Post on Thursday quoted a woman it
didn’t identify as saying she had seen Richards with a
group of women in the restroom of an Austin hotel
during the National Association of Women in Con
struction convention in 1979.
The woman, who refused to tell her story units
guaranteed that her name not be used, told theft*:
“When you walked in the door you could smellthedei
nite aroma of marijuana.”
“When I walked in (Richards) put her hand bet
her and held it,” she said. "The girl on the end, who
did not know, had a roach or a joint that had bet:
smoked down in her hand.”
The Post report said the woman felt compelled ton
count the incident after watching Richards refusedui
ing televised debates to answer yes or no to the quest!®
of whether she had ever used illegal drugs.
Richards, a recovering alcoholic, has said she has:
had an alcoholic drink nor a mood-altering chemical:
10 years.
Asked about the alleged 1979 incident, the statetiti
surer said, “I have no idea what they’re talkingaboui
Richards said Thursday she was shocked theallcp
lions had been reported. “The surprising part is t -
now people are willing to put it in print, with no sal
stantiation at all,” she said. “That’s not whatthiscoi:
try is all about.”
Bentsen: Printing errors,
forms shortage threaten
census accuracy in Texas
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thou
sands of Texas households may not
be participating in the census be
cause of “gross printing errors” and
a shortage of Spanish-language
forms, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen said
Thursday.
Bentsen, D-Texas, said the Cen
sus Bureau has refused to correct its
mistakes in Texas and has re
sponded instead to complaints about
the 1990 head count with excuses
and explanations.
“I must deplore the way the cen
sus is being administered in Texas,”
Bentsen told Census Bureau Direc
tor Barbara Bryant in a letter Thurs
day.
“This is particularly true in El
Paso, San Antonio, Corpus Christi
and South Texas,” Bentsen said. “In
these areas, complaints and prob
lems abound which, if not cured im
mediately, threaten the integrity of
the census in Texas.”
Comment from the Census Bu
reau was not immediately available.
Population estimates from the de
cennial head count are used to de
cide how millions of dollars in fed
eral funds are spent on everything
from education to highways, as well
as a state’s representation in the U.S.
House of Representatives.
The Texas Comptroller’s Office
estimates an undercount in 1980
cost Texas $300 million in federal
funds throughout the 1980s, while a
similar undercount this year could
cost the state $500 million and a seat
in the House, according to spokes
man John Bender.
Citizens from the Rio Grande Val
ley to El Paso are complaining about
a shortage of Spanish-language
forms, Bentsen said. Texans trying
to call toll-free numbers repeatedly
encounter busy signals and some say
Census workers have been unwilling
or unable to assist them.
“So far, the response from the
Census Bureau has been to explain
“I
I must deplore the way
the census is being
administered in Texas.
This is particularly true in
El Paso, San Antonio,
Corpus Christi and South
Texas. In these areas,
complaints and problems
abound which, if not cured
immediately, threaten the
integrity of the census in
Texas.”
— Lloyd Bentsen,
U.S.senator
and excuse the problems that have
arisen,” Bentsen told Bryant. “We
don’t need explanations and ex
cuses; we need quick, strong steps to
cure these problems and ensure the
completeness of the count in Texas.”
Under the 1990 Census, Texas
stands to add three seats to its 27-
member House delegation in Con
gress. An accurate count could possi
bly bring the delegation’s total to 31,
however, Bender said.
‘Bang Man’
could set
Texas record
DALLAS (AP) — The “Bant
Man” bandit — so-called because
he fires a shot into the ceilings of
banks he robs — is on hiswayio
breaking a bank robbery record
in Texas.
The FBI is blaming the Baoj
Man for 12 bank robberies in tie
Dallas area and 24 in all in Texas
and California in a streak that be
gan in July 1986.
His take is more than$300,W
in the two dozen holdups, said
Dallas FBI spokesman Wood 1
Specht.
The robber earned his nick
name for his habit of firingask
into the bank ceiling during bis
robberies. T he Bang Man also
has struck once each in Lubbou
and Austin and 10 times in tbf
Los Angeles and San Diego areas
authorities say.
No one has been hurt in tbt
robberies, but police are worried
that that might change.
His use of a gun “can set into;
motion a chain of events where:
good Samaritan or vigilante-type
person might get hurt trying B
do something about it,” Sped!
said.
“He’s a rather strange fellow,'
said M.K. Ratcliffe of the Nod
Texas Regional Clearing House
which has offered a $7,500 re
ward for information leading®
the robber’s indictment.
“In one robbery he word
morning coat and stovepipe hi!
and beard,” which briefly earned
him the nickname “Abe Lincoln
Robber,” Ratcliffe said.
