Oil slick threatens
Louisiana pelicans
WASHINGTON — The Sier
ra Club, Friends of the Earth
and other environmental and
consumer groups Tuesday de
manded renegotiation of the
proposed trade treaty with Mexi
co and Canada.
The demand came one day
before President Bush, Mexican
President Carlos Salinas de
Gortari and Canadian Prime
Minister Brian Mufroney were to
meet in San Antonio to partici
pate in an initialing ceremony
for the North American Free
Trade Agreement.
The treaty, concluded in Au
gust, cannot be signed by Bush
before Dec. 17 under fast-track
authority granted by Congress.
The pact, which would eliminate
all trade barriers over 15 years,
won’t be voted on by Congress
before next summer.

Swaggart blames
post office for theft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATON ROUGE, La. —
Thousands of dollars sent to
Jimmy Swaggart Ministries
have been stolen by someone
in the U.S. Postal Service,
Swaggart says in a letter ap
pealing for contributions.
“Because of this interception
of our finances, the ministry has
been pushed to the very edge
of bankruptcy,” th6 letter said.
The letter, which appeals for
immediate contributions, is the
second urgent plea for money in
many months from the ministry.
Since last November, a
month after Swaggart was
stopped in California for traffic
violations with a prostitute in his
car, the ministry has made sev
eral impassioned fund-raising
appeals.
NEW ORLEANS -
experts headed for tk
Louisiana coast Monday to save
oil-soaked pelicans as a bumias
offshore well continued to spit
oil and flames.
The pelicans were the firstoi
covered wildlife found in the
slick. As a precaution, 72 to
"hazing cannons’’ — noiseirak-
ers used to scare the birds
away —were being brought if
Fourteen cannons had atreadj
been set Upland a wildlife res
cue station was established on
nearby Grand Isle.
The rig is in TimbalierBay
and wildlife was threatened on
two nearby barrier islands-
Timbalier and East Timbalier.
The well blew out last Tues
day. It had been out of serace
for years and workmen were
trying to bring it back on line,
the Coast Guard said. Ate
spewing oil for two days, it burst
into flames Thursday while
workers tried to cap it.

Marsh bails destroy
Louisiana property
DALLAS — The first civil
case of its type to go to trial in
volving the controversial sleep
ing pill Halcion is set to begin
Wednesday in state district
court.
Other cases are pending na
tionwide against the drug’s
maker, Kalamazoo, Mich.-
based Upjohn Co., alleging that
the drug has dangerous side ef
fects.
In the case being heard in
14th District Court in Dallas, a
former police officer from Fort
Stockton, Texas, and his family
allege the drug caused the offi
cer to kill his best friend in 1987,
according to their attorney Mike
Mosher.
The FDA has reviewed Hal
cion, known by the generic
name triazolam, several times
since it was approved for use in
the United States in 1982. It has
become the most widely pre
scribed sleeping pill in the world
and is marketed in more than
90 countries.

■ 1 ‘ —;—
COCODRIE, La. — Marsli
balls — clumps of mud and
marsh grass uprooted and seal-
tered last month by Hurricane
Andrew — were so large in
some cases that they knocked
houses off their foundations m
Boudreaux and other communi
ties, authorities say.
The hurricane drastically
damaged, or at least changed,
much of the landscape where it
struck, ft’s too early to say
whether those changes in the
long run will hurt or help the
plants, fish and animals that de
pend on the coastal marsh fof
survival, officials say.
LSU environmental scientist
Ivor van Heerdon said he hopes
grass will take hold on newly
exposed pieces of land, helping
make up for some of the dam
age done to other areas of
marsh.
