AUSTIN-Some mighty good
lawmakers are working day
and night to resolve the state
budget deficit, but its not easy.
In fact, it’s a lawmaker's night-
mare.
The comptroller has raised
the official shortfall estimate to
$31. billion, the governor has
no plan to solve it, and the
voters will be waiting in No-
vember to pass judgment at the
ballot box.
To raise taxes or not to raise
taxes?
The president and the lieu-
tenant governor, even if they
had orchestrated it, couldn’t
have provided a starker con-
trast of the two sides of the
problem wrestling with Texas
legislators.
President Reagan visited
Dallas and blamed the Demo-
crats’ pro-tax mentality for the
state’s economic ills. That same
day, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby ac-
celerated his push for a tax hike
to ease the state deficit.
GOVERNOR CRTT1ZED
Reagan was in Dallas for a $1
million GOP fundraiser for for-
mer Gov. Bill Clements, a
$5,000-a-plate bash which forti-
fied his anti-taxation campaign.
Hobby was propping for a
•even-city swing to promote his
plan, a combination of budget
cuts and tax raises. He is, in
effect, filling the vacuum of
leadership which many sen-
ators and representatives say
exists.
Governor Mark White so far
has not produced a plan for
seiviag the budget crisis, and
more and more he is being
openly criticised for lack of
leadership by members of both
parties.
VOTERS GUT-CHECK
The Appropriations Commit-
toe has been working to slice
the budget, but even some
conservative members will con-
fess their fears that they've cut
too deep into services.
Last week they postponed a
vote to cut $1.8 billion from the
budget, mainly because they
were waiting for the governor's
plan. At this point, even Demo-
cratic lawmakers are not in-
clined to face the heat for
White, now or on the campaign
trail this fall.
So Hobby has stepped in,
impatient with White’s timidity
and hardly content to wait for '
Reagan's trickle-down to roach
the ravaged economy of the
Lone Star State.
Hobby, like many others,
believes voters will accept a tax
hike, if they understand how
badly it's needed. At the same
time, Clements and the GOP
ticket are waiting to use a tax
bill hike a club on the campaign
trail. It's a gut-check for Texas
voters.
THREE-A CTPLA Y
Thus, the stage is set for the
anticipated special session Aug
ust 6, a drama of three parts.
On one side is the Clements-
GOP bunch which doesn’t want
a tax hike, period. They'll use
the issue on the campaign trail
to defeat anyone who votes for
higher taxes, if they can,
particularly the governor.
On the other end is the
Hobby crowd which has already
made up its mind that a tax
hike will be good for Texas.
Generally, they have no strong
GOP opposition, or have dis-
tricts where services are need-
ed.
In the middle is the gang led
by House Speaker Gib Lewis,
which wants to cut spending
first and wait until January's
regular session to pass a tax
increase. They don’t want a
three-day special session to
pass a tax bill just before
Election Day.
RAVAGED ECONONY
Meanwhile, signs indicated
the Texas economy continues to
move backward.
Unemployment for June
jumped a full point. Texas
business foreclosures were up,
and home sales were down.
Local property taxes for
most of the state were poised to

Death Penalt y Should Be
The Rule For Cop Killers
By Congressman Charles
Wilson
Police officers nationwide de-
serve respect for the risks they
take every day in the line of
duty. To many criminals, the
uniform is an invitation for
target shooting.
It is outrageous that in 17
states and the District of Co-
lumbia, cop killing* criminals
know that if apprehended, they
will never have to face the
death penalty for their crime.
They know that essentially the
criminal justice system will
treat them with more respect
and compassion than they have
shown for the police officers
they killed.
The decision to have a death
penalty for the murder of a
police officer is one that must'
be made by state legislatures.
Texas is one of the states that
does, and that's as it should be.
But I am disturbed that in over
ohe third of the United States,
no such penalty exists.
The debate has gone on long
enough-it is time for the fed-
eral government to take action.
Legislation that will encourage
those 17 states to correct this
troubling situation has been
introduced by Rep. Biaggi, a
former member of the New
York City Police Department,
wide through this legislation,
and as a cosponsor, I will work
to see it happen.
This bill proposes to withhold
certain federal funds from
states that do not allow their
criminal courts a death sen-
tence for cop killers.
Too many police officers in
this country attend funerals for
colleagues killed in the line ol
duty, knowing full well that the
criminal will never face the
punishiftent deserved.
The “open season” on police
officers will be stalled only with
just punishment for thoee who
commit the crime. I have
always believed that for hein-
ous acts of violence, the most
severe punishment is the only
deterrent. The federal govern
ment can take a step toward
making the deterredt nation

HOUSTONUContrary to
previous advice, gynecologists
at Baylor College of Medicine
say that all women should
consider taking estrogen dur-
ing menopause.
Ronald Young, M.D., assist-
ant professor of obstetrics and
gynecology, and colleagues at
Baylor, say the benefits of
taking the hormone during
menopause far outweigh the
disadvantages.
“There is significant im
provement in a woman's quality
of life when estrogen is used to
combat the symptoms of meno
pause, including hot flashes,
depression, vaginal drynesa
and urinary problems,” Young
said. “More significantly, estro
gen is very effective in slowing
down the bone deterioration
process known as osteoporosis,
which is associated with meno
pause."
In the past, many physicians
had advised against taking
estrogen because of its poten
tial link to breast and uterine
cancer. However, Young aaid,
as long as a woman haa no
history of these estrogen
dependent cancers, her chances
of dying from complications
associated with osteoporosis
are much higher than her
chances of developing cancer.
Menopause marks the end of
menstruation and a woman's
ability to bear children It
usually occurs between the
ages of 47 and 52 when the
ovaries stop producing female
hormones.
Osteoporosis is a decrease in
bone mass caused by a loss of
calcium and leads to a greater
chance of bone fractures from

falls. Estrogen replacement is
effective in preventing and
treating osteoporosis because it
retains calcium in the bone.
However, many women are
still unable to take estrogen
because of t history of cancer,
diabetes or cardiovascular dis
ease. Therefore. Young is test
ing the drug clomiphene on
menopausal women and women
whose ovaries have been re
moved.
“The dilemma women with a
history of breast, uterine, or
other estrogen dependent can
cers have faced is that they
cannot take estrogen, yet they
continue to suffer the dis
comforts of menopause," said
Young, who is also director of
gynecology at Ben Taub Gen
eral Hospital. “Our studies are
finding that clomiphene citrate
appears to be effective in
alleviating some symptoms
without putting these women
at risk.”
Clomiphene citrate is
thought to replace some hor
mones that are lost during
menopause. In younger wo
men, it is also used to treat
infertility by increasing egg
production in the ovaries.
Young said drugs similiar to
clomiphene citrate may also
offer an alternative to women
who develop aide effects after
taking estrogen, such as fluid
rentention, weight gain, head
aches and intestinal irritation
Young's work with estrogen
and alternative drugs are part
of a Menopause Clinic, which
Baylor will open this fall.
