Highway officials brace for holiday
DPS predicts 39 motorist fatalities over Labor Day Week
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Department of
Public Safety is estimating that 39 motorists will
lose their lives on the state’s highways this La
bor Day weekend.
That forecast was issued yesterday, the day
several new traffic laws took effect.
One of those lowered the legal blood-alco
hol limit from .10 to 0.08, which officials said
would provide a new weapon to combat
drunken driving.
“This new law sends a message to Texans
that tolerance of drinking and driving is at an
all-time low” Col. Dudley M. Thomas, DPS di
rector, said. “We will drive that point home in
our enforcement efforts.”
The 39 fatalities being forecast are down from
the 45 deaths recorded in 41 accidents during the
78-hour Labor Day holiday period last year.
The DPS said that in wrecks where seat belt
usage was applicable, 46 percent of those killed
were not wearing safety belts. Eleven of last
year’s 45 fatalities were alcohol-related.
According to DPS records, there were 40 fa
talities over the 1997 Labor Day holiday, 43 in
1996 and 34 in 1995. Alcohol was involved in
20 of the 1997 deaths, 19 in 1996 and 14 in 1995.
Under another new law, drivers could face
tickets if children under age 15 are not buckled
up, the DPS said.
In addition, motorists will find trucks legal
ly traveling at the same speed as cars. The new
law means large trucks, including 18-wheelers,
and assorted vehicles pulling trailers and school
activity buses will be able to drive the same
speed limit as cars on interstates and highways
— up to 70 mph.
“The faster speed limit for trucks wii.

State to take over Austin prison Rivalr
Hariman s*.
AUSTIN (AP) — Citing chronic operations problems
and an ongoing sex scandal, state prison officials will
take over an Austin jail from a private corrections com
pany.
The Tfavis County Community Jus-
tice Center, operated by Wackenhut
Corrections Corp., has been the focus
of a criminal investigation into allega
tions guards had sex with some of the
106 female inmates and whether evi
dence of illicit activity was covered up.
Investigators also say they have
subpoenaed state jail records for
the past two years, looking for evi
dence of assaults, retaliation, con
traband, attempts to silence wit
nesses and the response of jail
“Wackenhut Corrections
agrees that it is in
everyone's best interests
to cooperate in this effort”
managers to any problems. Travis County authori
ties announced the probe two weeks ago.
The decision to take over the jail followed meetings
this week between TYavis County Judge Sam Biscoe
and other county officials, Wackenhut chief executive
George Zoley and state prison officials, the Austin
American-Statesman reported yesterday.
“Wackenhut Corrections agrees
that it is in everyone’s best interests to
cooperate in this effort." Zoley said in
a written statement that made no
mention of the criminal investigation.
Promising “an orderly transition" to
state operation, Allan POlunsky, chair
of the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice governing board, said prison
system employees would be sent to
monitor jail operations until the state
takes over.
No official timetable was an
nounced. Prison officials said it could take up to 60

Vice president visits San Antonio school
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Vice
President A1 Gore traveled to
Texas yesterday to raise an esti
mated $200,000 for his presiden
tial campaign and to stump for a
federal plan to rebuild old
schools.
“The whole country is going
back to school,” Gore told pupils,
parents and teachers.
“In preparing for lives of the
future, many are going into
schools of the past.”
As he toured Crockett Elemen
tary School, a 76-year-old campus
in the heart of a poor Hispanic
section of the city. Gore saw
cracks in a brick building and was
ushered through portable class
rooms meant to ease school
crowding.
School officials also told him of
plumbing and air conditioning prob
lems and a shortage of library books.
Such problems are common
throughout the United States,
Gore said.
Meeting with selected students
and teachers. Gore touted the Clin
ton administration’s proposal to
provide $24.8 billion in interest-
free bonds over two years for local
public school modernization.
He chided Republicans in Con
gress for opposing the Clinton leg
islation, saying they would rather
take surplus money and “blow it
on a risky tax scheme.”
Gore did not mention Texas
Gov. George W. Bush, his poten
tial Republican presidential oppo
nent in 2000 should both men win
the nomination of their respective
political parties.
Later in the day, Gore was to
attend a $1,000-per-person fund
raiser at the home of Democratic
supporters.
Campaign officials have said
they hoped to net $200,000 dur
ing the one-day swing through
San Antonio.
The vice president arrived at the
San Antonio International Airport
to the sounds of mariachi music.
Two congressmen from San
Antonio and track star Carl Lewis
of Houston joined him.
Earlier this year, Gore visited
Texas to raise money in Dallas
and Houston.
He also came to Texas in May
with President Clinton.
