Agricultural experts
predict crop damage
as cold front hits state
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK — Winter’s fury made a come
back Tuesday in the wake of Easter Sunday and
major league baseball’s opening day.
The springtime cold snap buffeted Texans
with light snow and northerly gusts that
plunged wind-chill temperatures down to zero.
Agriculture experts predicted some freeze
damage for Panhandle crops.
Glen Clugy awoke to the patter of sleet early
Tuesday in Hartley County, south of Dalhart.
“It’s been like a roller coaster ride,’’ said
Clugy, county executive director of the Agricul
ture Stabilization and Conservation Service. “It
would get warm and then get cold.’’
Clugy expects that wheat in the Panhandle
— already stunted by lack of rain — now will
sustain some freeze damage, too.
None of the flurries were accumulating.
But the arctic front postponed Tuesday’s
baseball game in Canyon between West Texas
A&M and Wayland Baptist.
“Twenty-eight degrees — 1 I mean, that’s be
low anything you want to do outside, let alone
try to pitch a baseball,” said WT coach Mike
Marshall. “It’s just injurious.”
Other areas of Texas weren’t spared from the
wacky weather.
The Permian Basin saw blowing dust. And
thunderstorms brewed in North Texas and East
Texas, where the National Weather Service is
sued a tornado watch for 24 counties and
warned of large hail and damaging winds.
Meanwhile, temperatures in South Texas
climbed above 80 degrees by noon.
Scott Plischke, an NWS meteorologist, said
the cold front first hit Dalhart late Monday and
blasted to the southeast at 45 mph.
Plischke described a dramatic lamb-to-lion
change: At 1 1:56 p.m. Monday in Amarillo,
winds were blowing at 1 3 mph from the
southwest and the temperature was 54 degrees.
Seventeen minutes later, winds gusted from the
north at 46 mph and the mercury had plunged
20 notches.
“It doesn’t happen every year, (but) it’s not
rare,’’ Plischke said.
Juli Rhoden, a communications technician
for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service in
College Station, said the cold snap likely will
kill off some pesky insects.
Hail hit the A&M campus Tuesday evening area. Wednesday's forecast calledfoi,
before a brief thunderstorm flooded the mostly sunny, breezy and cool afternoon
Energy department releases radiation dati
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More than 5,000 people are
currently being exposed to low levels of radiation in
government-funded medical research, the Depart
ment of Energy reported Monday.
The Department of Energy has been under pres
sure to release information about current radiation
experiments after reports of Cold War-era testing in
which people were unwittingly exposed to radia
tion.
The 41 research projects with 5,056 partici
pants do not seek to study the effect of radiation
on humans, but use radiation as a diagnostic
tool, the report said.
All require the consent of the subjects and ire:
proved and supervised by an independent k
tional Review Board, or IRB.
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, chairman of the Ss
Governmental Affairs Committee, said he was
sured" by the energy department report andh
creation of a new database to allow easy pubk
cess to information on energy department testhi
January Glenn’s committee asked the energyde;
>rt on its testing. The committet
leased the report and its own summary on Moik
“I have learned from the departmentthil
all these tests, not one investigation hash
conducted in the last three years to ensure a
pliance,’’ Glenn said.
Clinton pitches health plan as cure for doctor shortage
The Associated Press
TROY, N.C. — Claiming fresh
momentum in the health care de
bate, President Clinton pitched his
plan Tuesday as a cure for doctor
shortages in rural America and im
plored the public to demand con
gressional action this year.
Warming up for an evening
town hall to be televised in North
Carolina, Texas, Tennessee and
Virginia, Clinton spent the day
promoting his health reform ideas
to doctors, administrators and pa
tients of an understaffed and finan
cially burdened rural hospital.
The president and first lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton are trying
to generate public demand for
health care change as Congress
wraps up an Easter recess and pre
pares to resume work on the issue.
“What Tm trying to do is get
out here and highlight these real
world experiences of the doctors
and nurses and all the health care
providers here so that we can focus
the attention of the American peo
ple and the Congress on solutions
to the real problems and not the
rhetorical problems,” the president
told reporters.
He acknowledged support for
his plan has wavered in the polls,
and he blamed
that on well-fi
nanced opposi
tion from insur
ers and partisan
attacks from Re
publicans.
He offered
this optimistic
status report:
“The debate is
in a funny way
just beginning.
... I think we are
winning it again and we are get
ting real movement in Congress.”
Clinton said he believed the key
Clinton
to winning passage of an ac«|
able plan was for him to spei!
good deal of his time outii
Washington.
Tailoring his latest pitch to his:
al audience in Troy, SO miles eel
Charlotte, Clinton shook his head|
local family practitioner Deborl
McRoberts told him she often rf
more than 100 hours a week and hi
more than 8,000 patients.
Little noticed in the.intense de
bate over health reform, Climo:
said, are provisions in his plan
attract more doctors, nursesae
other health professionals ton
areas such as Troy.
