Court agrees
man’s death
was exagerated
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
Supreme Court on Wednesday
agreed that reports of D.W. Win-
ters’ death were greatly exag-
gerated and upheld a jury decision
to award his family $75,000.
In July, 1985, the Texas Depart-
ment of Corrections sent a telegram
to Winters’ family saying the
Woodville man had died while in
prison. Winters, who had been serv-
ing time for revocation of proba-
tion, in fact had not died.
His wife, Ruth, and son, Joseph,
sued the TDC under the Texas Tort
Claims Act for the mental anguish
they suffered when told he had
died.
The TDC claimed the family
could not recover damages because
they failed to prove that sending the
telegram was due to willful, wanton
or gross negligence. The prison sys-
tem also argued the machine used
to send the telegram was not “tan-
gible personal property under the
AcL"
A TDC employee had meant to
send a telegram concerning another
inmate’s death, but the employee
punched the wrong button on the
computer terminal and the Winters
family was told D.W. Winters had
died, according to court records.
A Tyler County state district
court sided with the Winters and a
jury awarded them $75,000. Later,
the 9th Court of Appeals in Tyler
upheld this decision.
The Supreme Court denied the
TDC a request to appeal the case,
thus upholding the lower court
rulings.
Sid Stover, the attorney for the
Winters, said the man has since
been released from state prison.
Don Magee, Hopkins County Memorial Hospital administrator,
stands among Dial Study Club members and their children. The
club donated two wagons to the hospital for use in the recovery
room. Hospital officials said the wagons will be used in transferring
small children. In addition, a $1,000 contribution provided the hos-

Trade deficit narrows
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. merchandise trade deficit dip-
ped sharply to $8.26 billion in April
as exports rose to a new high and
imports declined, the government
said today.
The Commerce Department said
the second straight monthly im-
provement in the country’s trade
balance came horn a 0.8 percent
increase in exports and a 2.6 per-
cent decline in imports.
The April deficit was 13.4 per-
cent below a revised March im-
balance of $9.54 billion. March’s
trade gap originally had been es-
timated at $8.86 billion.
April’s trade gap was the lowest
since last July, when the deficit hit
$8.02 billion. The report was even
better than the $8.5 bullion gap that
many analysts had been expecting
for the month.

The trade deficit so far this year
has been showing improvement
over its 1988 track record. Analysts
are divided, however, over how
long the nation can expect the good
news to continue as oil prices rise
and the stronger value of the dollar
makes American products more ex-
pensive on overseas markets.
For the first four months of 1989,
the trade deficit ran a an annual
rate of $108.9 billion.

Democrats hope leadership
can put party back on track
By JIM DRINKARD
As uniat*4 Press Writer
WASI lNGTON (AP) — With
their new leadership team in place.
House Democrats are searching for
a legislative agenda to unify then
party and provide a counterpoint to
the policies of President Bush.
“This is our time to make a dif-
ference and move this House away
from the partisan wrangling and the
rancor and the bitterness, and to
reassert an agenda for progress for
this country,” said Rep. Richard
Gephardt of Missouri, elected
Wednesday as his party’s new No.
2 House leadership official.
But despite Gephardt’s cam-
paign-style speech to his col-
leagues, the new leadership team
still has much work to do to assume
the reins of power in the House and
convert stylistic ability into sub-
stance.
While Bush has made much of
advocating bipartisan cooperation
with Congress, his political team
has shown a heightened aggres-
siveness in attacking Democrats.
The House GOP minority,
meanwhile, has grown increasingly
combative.
Deaths
“1 think you still are going to
have tremendous problems between
the two parties here, for at least an-
other year,” said Rep. Tony Coelho,
D-Calif., the former whip who is
leaving Congress after today be-
cause of questions about his per-
sonal finances.
The new speaker. Thomas S.
Foley of Washington, is an ack-
nowledged statesman and thinker,
but some Democrats wonder
whether he will have the toughness
to define and fight for the party’s
agenda.
And after a season of fighting
ethics charges. Democrats remain
nervous about whether Rep. Wil-
liam Gray of Pennsylvania — the
new No. 3 party official as majority
whip — will ultimately be
damaged by an FBI probe into al-
leged payroll padding in his office.
Rep. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,
said members of the new leadership
team “are extremely adept at sell-
ing the message to the American
people — our challenge now is to
come up with the message.”
The new leaders will work this
summer on developing a party
legislative agenda, then announce
sometime this fall “where we’re
going,” said Rep. David Bonior, D-
Mich., who lost the whip’s race to
Gray but will remain in his post as
chief deputy whip.
Foley already has said ethics and

campaign reform will be his top
priority. Democrats also are eager
to pass a clean air bill and complete
work on a savings and loan rescue
package, and are promising to pass
another bill raising the minimum
wage after President Bush’s veto
this week.
Gephardt, in his acceptance
speech before the House
Democratic caucus after defeating
Rep. Ed Jenkins, D-Ga., for majori-
ty leader, echoed some of the
themes of his 1988 campaign.
