AUSTIN -- Mickey Leland,
Black state representative from
Northeast Houston, has been ap-
pointed a deputy state coordin-
ator for the Carter-Mondale
presidential campaign, accord-
ing to state coordinator Chuck
Parrish. Leland, who taught
pharmacy at Texas Southern
university before enterlngstate
politics, will work out of the
state headquarters In Austin.
■1 haven't been assigned to
work specifically with the black
community,* said Leland, “but
that’s where my focus Is going
to be. That’s why I am volun-
teering all of my time until the
November election to work for
the Carter-Mondale ticket.
•It’s absolutely necessary for
black participation In this elec-
tion. We haven’t had any Input
Into the White House for the last
eight years and this Is the only
way to get It. It’s time for the
black community to have a voice
In the destiny of our people and
our country,* said Leland.
Leland feels that *Jlmmy
Carter has earned the support
of the black community. He's
demonstrated by his campaign
appointments that he’ll work
directly with the black com-
munity and that he’ll appoint
blacks to significant positions
In his administration.
*And he'll also provide the
moral leadership that has been
lacking for the past eight
years,* Leland added.
Leland's priority In working
with the Carter campaign Is
voter registration. He will be
'closely monlterlng the state-
wide drive for voter registra-
tion in order to ensure maxi-
mum registration of black vo-
ters in Texas.”
After the October 1 deadline
for registration, Leland will
focus on a statewide "get-out-
the -vote* drive in the black
community. Leland feels that
"black people are going to vote
from 96 to 96 per oent for the
Carter - Mondale presidential
ticket.
*It Is important that voter
participation be In higher num-
bers than ever before In order
to make a significant Impact
or. this sUctlcn.
•It Is black voter participa-
tion and registration that will
be the determining factor for
a Carter-Mondale victory In
November. If we don’t get reg-
istered, we can’t vote: and If
we can’t vote, we can’t win,*
added Leland.
Janice Tealer, an LVN (li-
censed vocational nurse) In the
recovery room of the surgical
Intensive care unit of Bexar
County hospital (BCH), saved a
man’s life on her way to work.
*1 was driving down the road
that runs between BCH and the
Veterans’ hospital and saw a
man lying face down on the side-
walk,* Tealer said.
She said she stopped her car
In the middle of the street and
ran over to the man. ”He was
not moving. I turned him over.
He was completely blue. I
checked to see If he hsd a heart
beat, and he did, but he was not
breathing,* Tealer said.
Tealer gave him mouth to
mouth resuscitation . "After
the third time, he started
twitching,” she said.
Tealer said a man In a truck
with a CB radio came by and
radioed for help as she conti-
nued io give the man first aid.
Emergency room attendants
trim the VA came to take care
of him, she said. *1 saw he was
O.K, They put him on a stretch-
er and wheeled him Into the VA,"
she added.
Later Tealer learned whose
liie she hsd saved. Clarence
PMe, a reared veteran for-
merly of Corpus ChrlsU, thank-
ed her for saving his life.
Tealer has worked at BCH
for eight years. ”1 worked as
an attendant until 1974 when I
went to school and became an
LVN,* she said.
A 28-year-old Dorle street
man shot himself accidentally
Sunday evening while shooting at
an East Terrace Homes resi-
dent.
The man was treated at, and
released from, Bexar County
hospital for a .36 caliber bullet
wound of the left foot, police
reported.
Officers had stopped a car
driven by the man at Garcia
and Fisk streets and discover-
ed the wounded driver with a
revolver on his person.
At that moment another car
drove up and a 16-year-old
youth told police the driver of
the first car had fired at an-
other man In the courts, but
somehow shot himself In the
foot.
The intended vlcUm was not
hit and refused to tell police
what had taken place, officers
reported.
Police released the wounded
gunman to the Emergency Med-
ical Service technicians who
drove him to the hospital.

Booked for murder In con-
nection with the case was Mrs.
Hazel A. Sclplo, 37, 3354 J
street.
The shooting occurred at
Mrs. Scipio's home during an
argument between her and
Yates’ half-brother, Eddie
Adams, 22, 6245 Renwlck.
When police arrived, a large
crowd gathered and two men
threatened to kill Mrs. Sclplo,
reports indicate.
Officers had to wresUe one
man to the ground In order to
get a gun from his when he at-
tempted to enter the woman’s
yard. The weeping man was
later released to relaUves when
it was learned he was the dead
youth’s father.
Another man made an at-
tempt to get a policeman’s gun
after telling the officer, "Give
me your gun and I’ll kill herf*
He too was ordered off the prop-
erty by police.
The tragedy occurred during
an argument between Mrs. Scl-

behalf of his half-brother.
At some point in the quarrel
Mrs. Sclplo produced a gun and
Yates allegedly advanced to-
ward her, telling her she would
have to shoot him.
Mrs. Sclplo fired once.
Adams waited outside for po-
lice to arrive while the sobbing
woman remained in her home.
She surrendered peacefully to
police.
Besides the two men who in-
volved themselves In the case,
a crowd of neighbors also caus-
ed some alarm, but no drastic
action was taken.
Mrs. Sclplo was booked and
later released on bond.
