Silver platter appointments
Richards rewards
campaign donors
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS— Texas Gov. 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.

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.

She grew up in Dallas' First
United Methodist Church, the

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.
