Agency seeks tire thieves in 4-month investigation During the last four months, Bra zos County Crime Stoppers has run several different Crime of the Week segments involving the theft of tires. After printing these stories, Crime Stoppers has received calls from other victims of tire thefts and little information about any suspects. In most cases, the thieves are steal ing tires from parked vehicles or equipment. While individual losses normally are not significant, collectively the losses add up to thousands of dol lars. Detectives believe the tires are the targets of thieves because tires are not identifiable and because there is a ready market for them. Detectives also believe thieves are selling or tra ding the stolen items outside of Bryan-College Station. This week the Texas A&M Uni versity Police Department and Crime Stoppers need your help to identify the persons responsible for these thefts. If you have information that could be helpful, call Crime Stop pers at 775-TIPS. When you call you will be asssigned a special coded number that will protect your iden tity. If your call leads to the arrest and grand jury indictment. Crime Stop pers will pay up to f 1,000 in cash. Crime Stoppers also pays cash for in formation on any felony crime or the location of any wanted fugitive. WiRRD TOPAY WE'VE GOT A SfE-CIAL LINKUP INTERVIEW WITH sexy, s-rzArw, TEASING... ftfWONNA.

Travel Tubularman by Boomer Cardinale Texas bank company faces Federal Reserve in bankruptcy court rp, once Texas’ second-largest bank holding company, is now facing a Supreme Court appearance in a dispute with the Federal Reserve Board. But by the time the justices make a decision, at least a year from now, MCorp may have no more banks and the case may be moot, attorneys said. The argument central to the case — whether the Federal Reserve can require bank holding companies to maintain adequate capital for subsid iary banks — will remain though. “It will come.up again,” said How ard Cayne, an MCorp attorney in Washington. “The briefs are out there and arguments are out there for someone else to make.” The disputed Fed policy, created in 1984 and 1987, requires the par ent company of a bank to be a “source of strength” for it. The com pany “should stand ready to use available resources to provide ad equate capital funds to subsidiary banks during periods of Financial stress or adversity,” the policy said. After regulators closed 20 of MCorp’s banks in 1988, in a $2 bil lion bailout that is the second-largest ever, the Fed charged the company with failing to act as a source of strength to its five remaining subsid iary banks. MCorp, which Filed for bank ruptcy before the bailout, now has only three banks — in El Paso, New Braunfels and Waco. Contracts are pending before regulators for the sale of two and MCorp is negotiating with a buyer for the third. David Luther, an MCorp attorney in Dallas, said the company still wants to win the case to keep its Chapter 11 reorganization on track. L iSTEM up t Guts.

Wanted WANTED S W C BOOKS $$$$$$$$$$ 1-800-926-2025 Announcements WASHINGTON (AP) — Unrest in the Baltics may undermine the So viet Union’s pledge to contribute sig nificantly to the costs of building the $8.2 billion super collider. Energy Secretary James D. Watkins said Monday. Watkins, under pressure from Congress to raise $1.6 billion in for eign contributions for the supercon ducting super collider, refused to tell a House committee that he was optimistic it could be done. “I do believe this is the year that we have to come up to you and say here’s where we stand on this, and we have very active efforts going to try to get these monies,” Watkins Baltic unrest threatens Soviet Union donation told the House Appropriations sub committee on energy and water de velopment. “I hate to say I’m optimistic (about the foreign fund-raising),” Watkins said. “We’re going to Fight hard For it... but I’d like to think at this point in time we have a good shot at it.” The House voted last year to spend no more than $5 billion in federal money on the project, a 54- mile underground ring around the city of Waxahachie in which scien tists hope to learn more about the origins of the universe by studying collisions of high-speed beams of protons. The legislation, however, never passed the Senate and did not be come law. Under the House plan, the Energy Department would have been required to raise $2.2 billion in foreign contributions, in addition to a $ 1 billion pledge by the state of Texas. Instead, the Energy Department says it intends to raise one-third of the SSC costs from outside sources — $1 billion from Texas and $1.6 billion from foreign countries. In addition to the Soviet Union, the United States is also counting on a major contribution from Japan, and possibly from Canada, Watkins said. Decisions from both are ex pected this year, possibly this spring. Only I ndia and Korea have prom ised to help cover cost of the SSC India has pledged $50 million. Court leaves tort reform laws to states WASFIINOTC ^ (AP) - The m- E reme Court reiused M r \<x } to mit skyrocketing p>-nitiv< amage awards, saying state judges and legis latures must decide whether to rein in the power of juries to punish and deter wrongdoers. The 7-1 decision, surprisingly one-sided given previous statements by the justices, is a major disappoint ment to broad segments of the American business community, which had urged a fundamental change to the nation’s legal land scape. The court, upholding a $1 million award to an Alabama woman victim ized by insurance fraud, stopped short of saying such judgments never may violate the Constitution. But the ruling essentially leaves it in the hands of legislatures to adopt, or reject, so-called “tort reform” to restrict jury discretion by limiting damage awards. Many states already have approved such limits; those laws are not affected by Monday’s ruling. In other action, the court: •Rejected a challenge by Nevada officials to federal plans for a nu clear waste dump near Las Vegas. •Left intact a New York “lemon law” that gives buyers of chronically defective cars more legal protection than they get under federal law. •Refused to protect church groups Fighting local landmark pres ervation laws. The court refused to let a New York City church tear down its community house and build a commercial skyscraper, and told a lower court to reconsider a ruling that churches are exempt from a Seattle landmark ordinance.
