KERRVILLE (AP) — A Marine
officer received a hero’s welcome at
a parade and rally in this Central
Texas city, but he said his thoughts
remain with comrades still in the
Persian Gulf.
Lance Cpl. Ronald Tull, the sole
survivor of a “friendly fire” blast of a
light armored vehicle that killed
seven fellow Marines, said before the
parade and rally Saturday that the
real heroes died or were still serving
in the Gulf.
“Right now, my heart is still with
them,” he said before being greeted
with a standing ovation at Louise
Hayes Park. “They’re the reason I’m
here now.”
Tull, 22, was featured dlong with
Army Col. Robert Louis Howard,
Vietnam War veteran and Medal of
Honor recipient, in a parade
watched by about 3,000 residents.
Then, a rally to show support for
Tull and other U.S. troops involved
in the Gulf War drew more than
1,000 people from Kerrville and the
surrounding area.
Tull suffered a broken back, lung
injuries and burns in the Jan. 29 at
tack. Wearing a back brace under his
uniform, he was accompanied by his
wife, Susan, and 18-month-old son,
Coleman.
“I don’t consider myself a hero,”
the Marine told the rally Saturday.
“The heroes are the ones who are
still over there and the heroes are
the wives (of servicemen) who are
waiting at home.
“The hardest thing is knowing
that your family is at home waiting
for you.”

Law enforcement tracks
illegal cellular phone use
HOUSTON (AP) — Law enforcement agencies are teaming with
cellular phone companies in a furious attempt to crack down on stolen
phone service totalling millions of dollars each month.
The portable phones, which are now the line of choice for drug tra
ffickers and organized crime, can be used easily and with little detec
tion.
“It’s not the actual losses the industry is incurring, it’s the people
who are using these altered phones that attracts federal law enforce
ment to the scene,” Earl Devaney, special agent in charge of the Secret
Service fraud division in Washington, told the Houston Chronicle.
“They are usually drug dealers, people selling arms.”
The No. 1 culprit appears to be tumbler phones, available on the
Houston black market for $ 1,500 or less, the newspaper reported.
“It’s becoming very fashionable, if you’re a criminal of any size, to
have one of these phones,” Devaney said. “If you don’t have a beeper
and a phone, you’re not really a first-class crook.”
Because calls on these phones cannot be stopped or traced, they are
taking the criminal world by storm in large cities across the country.
“It allows the user to have use of the phone essentially without a
bill,” Devaney said. “It also makes it extremely hard for law enforce
ment to intercept these calls as we would do under court order with a
land line phone. So it offers the potential user of the phone a certain
amount of anonymity and cuts down on his or her overhead.”
Tumbler phones are normal cellular phones modified with a spe
cially programmed computer chip to use either a phony electronic se
rial number or that of a paying customer.

Bonfire
Continued from page 1
He said he appreciates students
helping with the effort, even though
trees are regularly planted after
mining.
“I feel kind of sorry for bonfire
(the committee) because of the slack
they have been receiving, but it’s
good they can offset the bad publici
ty,” Nelson said. “People should ap
preciate bonfire’s show of concern.”
Darren Gabriel, an A&M grad
uate student in forestry, acted as liai
son among bonfire workers, TEAC
and the American Society of Forest
ers in starting and organizing the
event.
Gabriel, who received his under
graduate degree from A&M in for
est management, said about 250
trees were planted in containers.
The remaining trees were bareroot
seedling trees, which have a higher
survival rate, he said.
Gabriel said TMPA donated many
of the trees, but others were pur
chased.
The students planted red oak, live
oak, burr oak, dwarf walnut and lau
rel trees. One-, five- and 15-gallon
bareroot trees were planted.
Richard Blanke, TMPA land and
water resources engineer, said he be
lieves it was a great idea for students
to help plant trees.
J.D. Haber, a junior geography
major, member of TEAC and chair
man of the Forest Committee, said
he disagrees that cutting the trees
helps the ecosystem more than it
hurts.
Haber, however, said he thinks
the idea of the tree planting was a
good idea.
“It’s great that bonfire is coming
and giving something back and com
pleting the cycle,” he said. “This
needs to be a tradition equally im
portant as bonfire itself.”
Dance instructor Murray dies at 95
HONOLULU (AP) — Arthur
Murray, the famed dance instructor
who ran a string of 500 dance
schools, died Sunday at his home.
He was 95.
Murray’s death was confirmed by
a spokesman at Borthwick Mortu
ary. No further details were re
leased.
The Diamond Head penthouse
where Murray and his wife, Kath
ryn, lived was a long way from the
Lower East Side of New York City
where he was born Moses Teichman
on April 4, 1895, to poor Jewish im
migrant parents from Austria.
A nationwide chain of dance stu
dios, an 11-year television show and
managing the investments of friends
and relatives filled Murray’s life un
til a tennis injury sent him into per
manent retirement in 1983.
“I started out with a strong inferi
ority complex,” Murray once said in
an interview. “I didn’t think I had
any ability. I found I had three ca
reers.”
Murray recalled the first time he
tried to dance.
“I lived in the New York ghetto,
near the Henry Street settlement
house,” he said of his youth. “They
had a dancing class at the settlement
house. I went there and asked a girl
to.dance. I didn’t know how. After a
few steps she told me, ‘You dance
like a truck driver.’ But I kept at it.”
He began teaching in dance halls
at night while working as an office
boy during the day. He taught fora
time at Castle House, the school
founded by Vernon and Irene
Castle, the best known ballroom
dancers of their day.
