Senate slaps
teen smokers
with fines
AUSTIN (AP) - A measure
to make it more difficult for
youngsters to get cigarettes
may have gone up in smoke
Thursday, as the Texas Senate
proposed slapping underage
smokers with $500 fines.
A bill by Sen. Judith Zaffiri-
ni, D-Laredo, would have
banned cigarette vending ma
chines from places accessible to
people younger than 18. It also
would have made it easier to
fine people for selling cigarettes
or tobacco to those under 18,
she said.
- Zaffirini said her measure
would help curb smoking by
young people before they be
come addicted to tobacco and
make the state eligible for $69
million in federal substance
abuse grants.
In Texas, the number of
school children who experi
ment with tobacco is on the
rise, increasing from 39 percent
in 1988 to 53 percent in 1990,
according to the American
Cancer Society.
Seventy-five percent of adult
smokers started before their
18th birthday, the organization
said.
Rural lawmakers offer suggestion
for President's health reform plan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - As the
Clinton administration and Con
gress grapple with reform of the
nation's health care system, rural
lawmakers are weighing in with
their own suggestions.
The House Rural Health Care
Coalition, which is co-chaired by
Texan Charles Stenholm, Thurs
day presented a package of 16
bills it hopes to get enacted. Each
year, the 146-member bipartisan
coalition releases its legislative
agenda.
This year's blueprint comes
less than a month before President
Clinton's task force on health re
form, headed by Hillary Rodham
Clinton, releases its recommenda
tions.
"No one needs to be reminded
of what a critical year and Con
gress this will be for health reform
in general," said Stenholm, D-
Stamford.
"It is not the goal of this coali
tion to take on the task which
thousands of others in thiscii
and country are attempting!
tackle right now," Stenholm sai
"We do, however, feel that*
have a role to play in helping!
formulate that portion of heal!
reform which deals withrur
health delivery."
Rep. Jim Nussle, R-Iowa,e
pressed concern that with the u|
coming reform of the healthcaj
system "now, more thanevei
rural interests are in dangerofli
ing cast by the wayside."
Senate votes down ban on gay sex
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — The Texas Senate on Thursday ap
proved an overhaul of the criminal justice system,
and after a contentious debate rejected an amend
ment to make illegal sex between homosexuals.
The criminal justice legislation hinges on a $1 bil
lion prison bond proposal to build more prisons and
keep violent criminals incarcerated longer.
The penal code revision would also result in the
diversion of thousands of nonviolent offenders into a
new state jail system.
Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, author of the
measures, said they will "make your communities a
safer place to work and live."
But debate quickly centered on a move by Sen.
Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, to put back inti
law a state ban on homosexual sex. Her amendme
was defeated 16-12.
Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, a Democrat, called Nelson
proposal "divisive."
"Thank God there were enough decent, goo
Texas senators to vote it down," he said.
The state's so-called sodomy law, which applii
only to same-sex relations, has been declared unco:
stitutional by a state appellate court. The statehi
appealed that decision to the Texas Supreme Com
which has yet to rule.
Nelson said removal of the statute wouldm
counter to the wishes of citizens. "The majorityi
Texans oppose homosexual conduct and believeth
it should be prohibited by our penal code," shesaii

Bush recalls Turkish
president as strong ally
HOUSTON (AP) — Former President
George Bush remembered deceased Turkish
President Turgut Ozal as his most steadfast
ally during the Persian Gulf War at a memori
al service for Ozal in Houston Thursday
evening.
Bush praised Ozal, who died of heart fail
ure Saturday in Ankara, Turkey, dubbing him
a dynamo during the 45-minute service at
Methodist Hospital.
"There was no stauncher friend of the
United States, no one that I turned to more for
support and certainly for advice, than Presi
dent Ozal," Bush said.
Ozal was a strategic ally, resisting domes
tic opposition to support the U.S.-led coalition
fighting Iraq.
The former president said he talked fre
quently during Desert Storm with Ozal, who
Bush said shared his devotion to freedom and
the moral principle behind the war.
"A big country doesn't take over a little
country. Aggression is immoral and doesn't
pay," Bush said. "If I had ever wavered ... I
would've been pulled up by the hair by this
man, who was steadfast from day one in his
conviction that aggression would not stand."
"It was a wonderful relationship. Personal
diplomacy in this case meant something. I
could tell what his word was, where his
heartbeat was ... I will miss him very much,"
Bush said.
About 250 people attended the memorial
service at the hospital for Ozal, 66, who was
buried Thursday in Istanbul.
Investigator says trucker
sober before bus accident
EDINBURG (AP) — The trucker accused
of reckless driving in an accident that killed
21 schoolchildren had no alcohol or drugs in
his system, an accident investigator said
Thursday.
Francisco Elizondo of the Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety testified most of the
day, giving the jury plodding descriptions of
the accident site and physics of the September
1989 collision.
Chemical plant blaze
keeps residents indoors
LA PORTE (AP) — Residents were warned
to get indoors and stay there Friday afternoon
as heavy hydrocarbon smoke filled the air af
ter a chemical plant caught fire.
"It is polyethylene wax, and the plant is on
fire, blazing," Elaine Bonner, chief adminis
trative assistant to the town's police chief,
said late Thursday afternoon, more than two
hours after the fire was reported.
"Everyone has been advised to stay in
doors because of the smoke," Bonner said.
"It's nonpoisonous, but it is a heavy smoke."
The fire was at the Quest Separation Tech
nology, Inc., at 12500 Bay Area Boulevard,
about one-half mile south of the main part of
La Porte and about 10 miles east of Ellington
Air Force Base.
The Air Force Base is 25 miles southeast of
Houston.
The plant is on the road that leads from La
Porte to NASA.
"We have no idea what caused the fire,
and as far as we know, there are no injuries,"
she added.
Schools may get funds
to repair bad buildings
AUSTIN (AP) — School districts with low-
er-than-average property wealth that levy lo
cal taxes at a nigh enough rate could get state
funds to help repair or construct buildings
under a bill given preliminary House ap
proval Thursday.
The bill only could take effect if votersap
prove a proposed constitutional amendmcit
on the May 1 state ballot that providesfoi
$750 million in state bonds for school con
struction needs.
"This is not a free lunch. It's a partnership
between the state and the school districts,
said Rep. David Swinford, R-Dumas.
Another version of the bill already passed
the Senate. If the House gives this one fina
approval, a conference committee is expected
to work out differences.
Former college teacher
accused of kidnapping
HODGEN, Okla. (AP) - A gunman
wounded in a shootout with sheriffs
deputies was identified Thursday as a formei
Texas college professor accused of kidnap
ping two women last year.
Bill Robert Cathey, 51 and a former Eng
lish teacher at the University of North Texas,
remained stable at St. Edward Mercy Med
ical Center in Fort Smith, Ark., across tht
border from the small town of Hodgen.
Cathey, who was wearing a bulletproof
vest, was shot in the chest Wednesday aftei
he pulled a handgun on deputies, said Rot
Wallace, assistant district attorney for LeFlo
re County. No lawmen were hurt.
Wallace said Cathey, who has several
aliases, was identified Thursday by compar
ing fingerprints provided by Texas authori
ties.
"Knowing what his background is,it
helps us to understand why he may been
wearing body armor," Wallace said. "We're
still trying to find out exactly where we are
with this guy."
Warrants for Cathey's arrest filed in Dal
las County show he was charged July 22 with
two counts of aggravated kidnapping and
one count of possession of a controlled sub
stance.
