Austin takes homeowners to court
City fights crack houses
AUSTIN (AP) — In an effort to
shut down alleged crack houses,
the city is taking the homeowners
to court.
'These are going to be test cas
es. If we are successful here we are
going to continue to use this law
to close down crack houses," As
sistant City Attorney Orlinda
Naranjo saia.
In the lawsuits, the city alleges
the properties are a "common nui
sance" and can be seized if the
owner participated in or knew of
alleged drug trafficking occurring
there, the Austin American-States-
man reported Tuesday.
"It's our position that we want
the drug sellers and users to know
that the city of Austin is going to
use every method it can to make
neighborhoods safe," Ms. Naranjo
said.
"If we have to go after the
owners and make them account
able, then that's what we have to
do. We want to return the neigh
borhoods back to the neighbors,"
she said.
The owners of one house said
they had no idea there was any
problem.
Susana Wilson of Los Angeles
said, "We moved to L.A. in ”63."
She said the house has been rented
to the same person since the 1970s.
"We were iust out here in the
dark. We didn't know," she said.
Assistant City Attorney Bob
Rose said the homes in question
are "rather notorious."
"The neighbors are also upset
because the dealing is quite bla
tant," he said.
Other cities, including Hous
ton, Dallas and Los Angeles have
turned to civil lawsuits in the fight
against drugs.
In Dallas, a task force was es
tablished last month to help inves
tigate 300 cases in which the dvil
remedy of declaring crack houses
nuisances might be used.
So far, Dallas judges have or
dered two alleged crack houses
closed for one year, according to
Dallas Assistant City Attorney
Bob Davis.
Palestine receives respect
during talks, official says
Continued from Page 1
-mands included all of present-
day Israel.
"The Palestinian speaker,
Haidar Abdel-Shafir said Pales
tinians are willing to live side-by-
side with Israel and share a
promising future," Hatchett said.
"He said their homeland would
never cease to exist in their hearts
and minds, but must exist in lands
take in 1967."
Yarak said the ultimate out
come of the talks depends on Is
rael releasing the lands taken in
1967. Syria's insistence on the re
turn of the Golan Heights is a ma
jor issue, he said, but the Palestini
ans are the major negotiating
group Israel must deal with.
Hatchett said the treatment of
the Palestinian delegation at the
conference was the most graphic
indicator that all parties took the
talks seriously.
'The Palestinians, although of
ficially a part of the Jordanian del
egation, were treated with respect
and professionalism, and were in
fact, a defacto nation," Hatchett
said. "They spoke for as much
time as the other delegates, not
having to share time with Jordan.
"The Palestinian spokesper
sons handled themselves very
well," he said. "The Israelis were
very impressed with their lack of
polemics."
Yarak said U.S. pressure on Is
rael enabled the conference to
happen. He said the President
Bush sent a message that shocked
Israel and the Palestinians alike
when he froze Israel's $10 billion
loan guarantee.
Hatchett said the door to peace
is open, but a lot of work needs to
be done before a lasting peace is
established.
"We need to keep our eye on
the ball and make sure nothing
disrupts this process," he saicT
"Syria is the biggest obstacle now,
but they're not the biggest players.
"Palestine can't bear the brunt
of others' 'No'."

WHITE SETTLEMENT (AP) -
A 13-year-old boy, who starved
for months while chained to a cab
inet, remained in a coma Tuesday
as his parents were transferred to
the Tarrant County Jail on child
abuse charges.
Stephen Jay Hill was listed in
"very critical" condition with
"very minimal brain activity" at
Cook-Fort Worth Children's Medi
cal Center Tuesday, a hospital offi
cial said.
The boy's mother, Linda Hill,
37, and his father. Jay Hill, 42, an
engineer at General Dynamics,
were arrested and arraigned Mon
day night on charges of injury to a
child.
The mother told authorities
they had discipline problems with
the 13-year-old, and kept him on a
plastic chain and padlock out of
reach of food.
When Stephen was found by
police Sunday morning, he
weighed 55 pounds, about half the
normal weight for a boy his age.
The couple was transferred
Tuesday from the White Settle
ment Jail to the Tarrant County
Jail, where they both remain on
$100,000 bond for one count each
of child abuse, said Mike Nichols,
an investigator with the White Set
tlement Police Department.
Hill declined comment as he
left the jail in this Fort Worth sub
urb, but his wife broke down
when asked by reporters what she
would tell the teen-ager if she
could speak to him.
'The same thing I tell him ev
ery day, that I love him," Mrs. Hill
said as she was led in handcuffs to
an awaiting police car.
Lottery wins
over voters,
promises
added funds
Continued from Page 1
"The lottery will provide us
with $500 million in the first year,
and we badly need that additional
revenue to educate our young, to
fight crime and to bring jobs to
Texas," Richards said.
Sue Cox, of the anti-gambling
group Texans Who Care, said the
results were bad news for Texas.
"We regret that our state will nev
er be the same," she said.
In the past decade, Texas has
legalized charitable bingo games
and pari-mutuel horse and dog
racing. Cox predicted that lottery
would bring added gambling
f jroble Texas was the nation's
argest state without a lottery.
"We regret that there will be
victims of gambling ... an increase
in problems families will face
when a parent, grandparent or
teenager becomes addicted to the
lottery," Cox said.
"We regret that the taxpayers
will think that the serious funding
problems of our state will have
been met, then realize ... that they
will have the worst of both words
— higher taxes and a lottery," she
said.
Andy Welch, a spokesman for
the comptroller, said preparations
already have begun.
"The lottery task force has
been at work for the last three
months," Welch said. "They've
traveled to other states. They have
looked to see how lotteries are run
in other states."
Backers said a Texas lottery
would be a bonanza for a state
government forced to raise taxes
repeatedly since the devastating
oil and real estate busts of 1986.
