a spokeswoman for the Baytown
Police Department.
Robert Pena, 34, of 3800 Baker,
No. 318, was reported in serious
condition at Hermann Hospital
Monday, according to a hospital

his vehicle which struck several
construction barrels.

STATE TROOPERS
A spokesman for the Depart-
ment of Public Safety in Beau-
mont said there is still no iden-
tification for a man who burned
in his truck in a weekend, three-
vehicle accident.
The accident occurred on In-
terstate 10 east of the Trinity
River at 2 a.m. Saturday.
According to the spokesman, a
1979 Camaro was driving on the
inside lane of Interstate 10 and
crossed into the middle lane
where it was involved in a colli-
sion with a 1985 Nissan Maxima.
The Nissan then collided with a
1972 Ford pickup in front of it.
The spokesman said the
Camaro went over the hood of
the Nissan, became airborne,
struck a concrete medium and
skidded into the westbound lane
where it burst into flames.
The driver of the Camaro fled
the scene in an unknown vehicle.
The driver of the Nissan was
not injured, but the truck
became engulfed in flames, and
the driver was burned to death.
Doctors, counselors intimidated
by Missouri abortion statute
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP)
— The poor women vyho hoped to
end their pregnancies at
Missouri’s two public hospitals
offering abortions will be most
affected by last week’s U.S.
Supreme Court ruling.
The ruling also will mean
fewer doctors willing to perform
abortions and fewer counselors
willing to give advice to in-
digents about the operation, ac-
cording to abortion rights ac-
tivists.
“Doctors in this state feel the
tightening of the screws. It
would take a lot of commitment
to women’s rights to continue,”
said Mary Bryant of Planned
Parenthood, whose organization
already has difficulty finding
doctors willing to perform abor-
tions at its Columbia clinic.
“When Blackmun talks about
a chill wind blowing, he has no
idea how chill it is in Missouri,”
Bryant said.
In his dissenting opinion to Ju-
ly 3’s ruling, Justice Harry
Blackmun said that while
women still can obtain legal
abortions, “the signs are evident
and very ominous, and a chill
wind blows.”
The court, in a 5-4 vote, upheld
Missouri’s restrictive abortion
law and invited further
challenges to the historic 1973
Roe vs. Wade decision that made
abortion a right of women na-
tionwide.
The Missouri law prohibits
abortions from being performed
at public hospitals, bans tax
dollars from being spent for “en-
couraging or counseling”
women to have abortions and re-
quires doctors to determine,
when possible, whether a fetus
20 or more weeks is capable of
surviving outside the womb.
Anti-abortion groups said the
ruling was a step in the right
direction.

Liberty County flood victims
• ~ .• , , : . -■ ’
begin to return to their homes
Residents of Liberty County
are beginning to return to their
homes after a more than month
long battle with flood waters.
Liberty County Emergency
Management Coordinator Jim
Mitchum said water being
released at Lake Livingston
Dam is now coming through at a
normal level of 18,000 per cubic
feet.
“That is a great relief to us,”
he said.
The reading at the Trinity
River Bridge is at 27.67 feet, but
it is receding fast, he said.
“People are going into the sub-
divisions already, even though
there is still some high water. It
is going down very fast,
however, and we expect that
most people will be able to get in
their homes soon, except Dayton
Lakes is still heavily flooded,”
he said.
Mitchum said the Red Cross
Assistance Centers are ready to
help the residents of the area
and have set up at the Hardin
Community Center.
“So far, Red Cross has spent
over a quarter of a million
dollars on Liberty County since
May and they are still assisting
as we continue to assess the
damages,” Mitchum said.

Allocation pending
AUSTIN (AP) - The Texas
Higher Education Coordinating
Board this week will consider
allocating more than $5.9 million
new to eligible institutions for
remedial courses for those who
fail a new basic skills test for col-
lege students.
Including $3 million*that goes
directly to the universities, the
total available for remediation
in fiscal year 1990 is more than
$8.6 million, the board said.
Students must pass the Texas
Academic Skills Program test to
take upper-division courses.

credit.

ditional $411,000 to establish a
fund to respond to unexpected,
heavy enrollments in remedial
courses in some institutions.
Check offers not expected
to impact workers’ comp
AUSTIN (AP) - Legislative
workers’ compensation leaders
said last week’s incident in
which a businessman offered
$10,000 checks to nine senators
after he complained about the
state workers’ comp system
should not affect the outcome of
the issue.
As a House-Senate conference
committee began meeting Sun-
day on workers’ comp, state
Rep. Richard Smith, the chief of
the House negotiating team, said
the payments caused a outcry,
but added, “I don’t think it will
have any negative impact in the
final analysis when passing the
bill.”
Poultry producer Lonnie “Bo”
Pilgrim complained of the cost
of his workers’ comp premiums
with nine senators, and handed
them $10,000 checks. This oc-
curred two days before a Senate
vote on a House workers’ comp
proposal.
The lobbying attempt has pro-
mpted an investigation by the
Travis County District Attorney
and calls for. campaign finance
reform. On Fric$|), the Senate
rejected the House proposal, an.
action which has set up the con-
ference committee. Seven of the
nine senators said they have
returned or intend to return the
money to Pilgrim.
Pilgrim has denied any wrong-
doing in the incident.
