Ann Richards has not forgotten big-money campaign contributors while making appointments to state boards and commissions, a newspaper's investigation shows. Most of Richards' appointments to major boards, including the Parks and Wildlife Commission and the University of Texas Board of Regents, are financial donors, according to The Dallas Morning News' computer analysis of records. The newspaper's analysis of Richards' appointments, detailed in a copyright story Sunday, indicates that she collected more than $1 million from people she named to the panels that govern universities and state agencies. But the Democratic governor, after two years in office, has appointed more women, blacks and Hispanics than perhaps any of her predecessors. Bill Cryer, the governor's press secretary, denied that political contributions play a role in the appointment process. The newspaper's analysis of appointment patterns and campaign contributions showed that of 34 people named to six of the most highly prized boards, all but nine have contributed money directly or through a spouse. Eleven of the appointees have contributed $25,000 or more, according to The Morning News. The newspaper said Richards' largest campaign contributor, Beaumont lawyer Walter Umphrey, was appointed early in her administration to the Parks and Wildlife Commission. Campaign records filed with the Texas Ethics Commission indicate that Umphrey has given $405,709 in loans and contributions to Richards directly or through political action committees. Koresh remains silent as wait enters 30th day THE ASSOCIATED PRESS the ATE and other negotiators. WACO— A month ago, David Koresh privately ruled a kingdom that included a harem of wives and sensational sermons detailing the end of the world. A month later, his bizarre reign plays out before millions as he holds at bay a government agency desperately trying to defend how a detailed raid on the heavily armed religious zealot became fatally flawed. The 33-year-old Koresh, who has claimed to be Jesus Christ, stood smiling at the front door of his prairie fortress Feb. 28 as authorities drove up. Seconds later, a blaze of gunfire tore into Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents trying to arrest him and search for illegal weapons. Four agents were killed and 16 wounded in the bloodiest day of the ATE, a little known government agency started in Prohibition to root out moonshiners. Koresh, who requires his male followers to give him their wives and has more than 15 children by different women, is still taunting ig< daring them to call his bluff. He has invited another gun battle. Eight years ago, he promised his Branch Davidian followers that a bloody war with authorities would help trigger Armageddon. "From the mid-1980s he has preached that their group will end up in a violent confrontation with law enforcement and that this will be a fulfillment of his prophecy," said FBI special agent Bob Ricks. "In effect, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy." Koresh told negotiators March 18, "You are in more trouble than I am." And his actions would indicate he has no immediate plans of ending the 30-day standoff that continues to gouge the government's coffers and patience. The tab to taxpayers is $5 million and counting. Koresh hasn't spoken to negotiators in days, ignoring their pleas to release more than 90 followers still inside the compound, including 17 children. Tnirty-five cult members have exited the cream-colored campus that sits alone in a field 10 miles east of Waco. State News Briefs Fort Worth pays residents for guns FORT WORTH (AP) - The city with the Wild West image and the nickname "Cowtown" this week will start paying residents to turn in their guns, officials say. Fort Worth Police Chief Thomas Windham, who dismisses comparisons to the sheriff trying to clean up Dodge, hopes the city's gun buyback program will disarm many villains. "We're getting a reputation now of a place where people get killed by the use of guns," Windham said. "I believe we'll have substantial returns by the impact this will have on violent crime." The program, which will pay Tarrant County residents between $5 and $25 for guns they turn in to authorities, begins Saturday. Local police officials have reason to worry about guns failing into the wrong hands. Among U.S. cities with more than 250,000 people. Fort Worth had the worst property crime rate and ranked among the 20 worst in violent crime in 1991, the last year that full FBI statistics are available. Army could provide the manpower needed to offer health services in areas such as Starr County. "I think the country is looking at reducing health care costs, and one way to do it is to use every health care capability this country has inside its borders," said Dr. Rick Proctor, director of the state health department's Houston region. Mystery mistress to testify in trial Military opens medical facilities SAN ANTONIO (AP) - In an about-face from longtime military policy. Army medical personnel from San Antonio plan to provide limited health services to civilians. A convoy of Brooke Army Medical Center personnel and equipment from the 41st Combat Support Hospital at Fort Sam Houston will provide services May 4-6 at the Starr County Fairgrounds. Starr, a largely rural county that is the second poorest in the nation, has a population of 40,500 and a jobless rate of 36 percent, according to 1990 census figures. Col. David McFarling, deputy commander of the Brooke Army Medical Center, said the operation is authorized by the 1993 Appropriations Act to provide humanitarian relief inside the United States as part of training operations. "We're arguing very much that this is a readiness exercise," said McFarling said. As the Army re-examines its post-CoId War role, it may decide to undertake more international humanitarian operations, McFarling said. For state health officials, the SAN ANTONIO (AP) - She is a flashy blond psychologist with a colorful past and a date to testify this week in the attempted murder trial of former Dallas minister Walker Railey. State attorneys say she so infatuated Railey he tried to kill for her. In 1987, Lucy Papillon surfaced as the mystery woman in the Railey case and later appeared as a reluctant witness before a Dallas County grand jury. It was there she revealed her affair with Railey, a romance that began almost a year before the attack on Railey's wife and continued for some time afterward. Her grand jury testimony, secret by law, soon was public knowledge. Last week, prosecutors pointed to the love affair with Papillon as the alleged motive in the assault on Railey's wife six years ago. Peggy Railey, now 44, lies in an irreversible vegetative state. While debating the admissibility of child custody testimony Thursday, chief prosecutor Cecil Emerson declared: "Our theory is that Walker Railey abandoned his children and it was ail part of a scheme to dispose of his wife and move to California with Lucy Papillon." The trial resumes Monday, and Papillon is expected to testify, presumably as a hostile witness, by midweek. Now SOish, and still Something bf a mystery woman, Papillori ’ib * af twicfc-divorced ex fashion model with frosted blond hair and dark, sparkling eyes. She grew up in Dallas' First United Methodist Church, the daughter of the Rev. Robert E. Goodrich Jr., a former senior pastor at the church and later a Methodist bishop. A portrait of Goodrich, who died in 1985, hangs in the foyer of First Methodist, where Railey was senior pastor until word of his liaison with Papillon leaked out.
