State-
Michener honored by Texas Senate
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Senate has saluted Pulitzer Prize-
winning author James Michener as a' 'man of formidable knowledge
and intellect” in connection with his new novel on Texes.
Michener drew laughter when he responded that senators had bet-
ter rend the book first.
A resolution by Sen. John Montford, D-Lubbock, hailed Michener
as “an optimistic patriot who conveys an old-fashioned enthusiasm
for this country and our ideals of democracy.”
It said publication of Michener's book during Texas' celebration of
its 150th anniversary of independence from Mexico "is a truly great
honor for this state." Texas will celebrate its sesquicentennial in
1M.
“To offer a writer a resolution like that before you've read his book
— I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I'm going to accept that resolu-
tion and put it in escrow, and if six months from now you want to take
it back, I won't fight it," Michener said.
Michener, who won the Pulitzer in fiction for his “Tales of the
South Pacific,'’ has lived in Texas, working on his book for three
years. He holds a professorship at the University at Texas at Austin.
Nursing homa bill dies in House
AUSTIN (AP) — The state agency that dictates who can build
hospitals and nursing homes died in the House Thursday, dragging
with it the abortion regulation push.
A bid to salvage the Texas Health Facilities Commission by ad-
ding an abortion regulation measure flopped, succeeding only in
raising the ire of pro-life legislators.
Cleburne Rep. Bruce Gibson, a commission supporter, tried to
lure conservative votes with an amendment to let the commission
IMwapg abortion rlinirg
But the House voted 98-49 against considering the bill that would
have kept the three-member commission in operation through IM.
Barring any change before the session ends Monday, the commis-
sion disappears Sept 1.
Commissioner Dora McDonald contended that unregulated health
care will be costly, adding that there will be "hospitals like
7-Elevens, on every other street corner. ”
The abortion issue became tangled with the commission after pro-
life lawmakers decided against offering an abortion regulation
amendment to a Department of Healt bill.

Texan wins big poker game
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) — A Dallas man who says he began play-
ing poker to avenge the losses of his father, a notoriously poor
player, knocked off 139 other gamblers in the four-day World Series
of Poker to walk away with a 9700,000 first prize.
With $1.4 million in cash and chips on the table, Bill Smith, 51,
unveiled his full house Thursday to beat the three 5s held by his last
opponent, fellow Texan T. J. Cloutier, also of Dallas.
Cloutier, who lost 9350,000 in the hand, settled for 9200.000 second
prize.
Smith said he began playing poker full-time in New Mexico in 1968,
vowing to win more money than his father had lost in his lifetime.
“I’ve done that and then some," he said.
"I’m not sure there's ever been a bigger hand than this," the
former oil company draftsman said after winning the record prize at
Binion’s Horseshoe Club. "Whoever held a card was going to win it."
A crowd 10-deep had watched play at the club’s tables.
Not all the money will go to Smith, though.
Like many players in the field, he had to find sponsors to put up the
910,000 he needed to buy in to the game. Typically, sponsors are
given a cut of the prize money
Cloutier, a former professional football player in the Canadian
Football League, said he would use his prize money to play more
poker.
“‘I've won some other tournaments but this is the biggest money
I’ve ever won,” he said.
Soviets accused of spying
WASHINGTON i API - About 200 of the 900 Soviet citizens on the
headquarters staff of the United Nation are intelligence agents who
operate virtually without challenge by the U.S. government, accor-
ding to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
“The Soviets are using employment at the United Nations as a
front for their spies, and we must do what we can to prevent it," said
Sen. William V. Roth, R-Del., a member of the committee.
Earlier this month, the Senate panel approved legislation by Roth
that would bring Soviet employees of the United Nations under the
same scrutiny and travel restrictions as regular Soviet diplomats.
At United Nations headquarters in New York, U.N. spokesman
Francois Giuliani said, “If the American government has proof that
their allegations are verifiable, the secretary-general will look into
them."
Noting the frequency of Western allegations of Soviet spying at the
United Nations, Giu"ani said that "until now, no government has
taken up such a complaint with the secretary-general and substan-
tiated them."
Roth released an unclassified summary of a committee report,
based on information gathered from the FBI and former U.N. Am-
bassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, which said "the Soviet Union is effec-
tively using the U.N. Secretariat in the conduct of its foreign rela-
tions. and the West is paying for most of it.”
Shiites squeeze Palestinian band
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Shiite Moslem militiamen squeezed a
band of Palestinian defenders into a comer of west Beirut's refugee
camps Dozens of bodies littered the streets and rumors of
massacres filtered from the besieged camps.
Police said Thursday that at least 201 people had died in the four-
day battle for control of the camps, but their count did not include
the bodies lying uncollected amid the rubble of the Sabra and
Chatilia rampa
The Shiite Amal militia and Shiite soldiers of the Lebanese army
encircled the two refugee camps and turned their heavy weapons
loose Most of the Palestinians battled back from an area about
100-yards square, firing through holes knocked in houses and
fighting invaders hand-to-hand.
"It's a horrific tragedy,” said a Palestinian spokesman. “They're
pulverizing the camps, house by house, with heavy artillery and tank
cannon. Doe one of bodies are lying on the streets. They won't 1st the
Red Crossin."
A Palestinian spokesman who spoke on condition he not be iden-
tified said Shiites slaughtered 11 patients in the Gara Hospitai at the
edge of Sabra.
An Amal spokesman denied the charge, ^ying the militia had
allowed relief workers to evacuate all the wounded.
However, militiamen turned back reporters who tried to reach the
hospital and neither version could be verified.
