WASHINGTON (AP> -
Despite President Reagan's
warning that the safety of
our homeland" is at stake in
Central America, his propos-
ed military aid package for
El Salvador and CIA support
for Nicaraguan rebels re-
The official also said the
United States should open
talks with Syria to learn the
conditions under which
Damascus will withdraw its
troops from Lebanon
If Israel and Lebanon are
unable to work out an agree-
ment or if the Syrians fail to
withdraw their forces, the of-
ficial said. it is a likely
scenario" that Israel would
unilaterally pull its troops
toward its border but leave
them in southern Lebanon
Gemayel's government op-
poses such a move for fear it
would divide Lebanon into
permanently held zones, with
the Israelis in the south and
the Syrians in eastern
Lebanon.
On Wednesday, Begin and
Israeli Foreign Minister Yit-
zhak Shamir told Shultz they
feared Israeli's northern
border with Lebanon would
not be secure if all Israeli
troops were withdrawn now

Dominican Republic from
1966 to 1968. urged instead a

ment.

complied to a request of a six-
man Swiss wheat industry
team Wednesday, giving
them a tour of a Texas cattle
operation.
Leo Witkowski, Hereford
farmer serving on the Texas
Wheat Producers Board, said
many of the guests on TWPB
tours have certain things they
want to see. Along with their
curiosity of feed yards, the
Swiss wanted to see what
kind of machinery Americans
used in farming
The Swiss market is par-
ticularly interesting since
that country's wheat crop
was short thus year by about
250.600 tons of bread wheat
and 100,000 tons of durum for
the pasta industry.

HOUSTON । API — A teen-age girl who said she robbed
five people at gunpoint to buy milk and diapers for her
baby half-brother born to her drug-addicted mother got 10
years' probation, hugs and a warning from jurors
We gave you a chance We expect you to take it and
make the best of it," jury foreman Robert Reicheck told
Robin Marie Herod. 16, after the sentence was announced
Wednesday
Miss Herod pleaded guity to five counts of aggravated
robbery Under instruction of State District Court Judge
Ted Poe, the 12-member panel found Miss Herod guilty
and set her punishment.
Poe said a jury had to decide punishment for Miss
Herod because Texas law prohibits a judge from granting
probation in armed robbery cases
Prosecutors argued that Miss Herod should spend time
behind bars Maximum punishment was life in prison and
a 610,000 fine
"Holding a gun to someone is not the action of a child
said Assistant District Attorney Joe Magliolo
Poe ordered the teen-ager sent to a halfway house, in
write letters of apology to the five people she admitted
robbing at gunpoint between Sept 27 and Sept .10 and to
make restitution to each No one was harmed in the rob-
beries.
Afterward, the shy teen-ager said she had learned her
lesson and vowed to change her ways
"I'm going to get an education and get out on my own
and make an honest living," said Miss Herod, who drop-
ped out of school after failing the seventh grade three
times
Miss Herod, who was certified to stand trial as an adult,
expressed remorse about the robberies but said she felt
she had no choice
"I felt a responsibility to my little brother because there
was no food and my mama needed to take her medicine
and if she didn't take her medicine she'd get very sick
And I didn't know what else todo, " she said
"I know what I did was wrong. I know I scared those
people very badly I pray to God they forgive," she said
The teenager said she used the money from the rob-
beries to buy milk and diapers for her 18-month-old half-
brother

testimony late Wednesday,

the eight noes on his
15-member committee to
change to ayes and clear a
Senate-passed bill providing
for a statewide referendum
I think it s time to let the
people decide this issue once
and for all," he said
Pierce would not name the
possible vote changes on the
committee because, he said,
the press has literally back-
ed them up against the wall."
Pierce said he did not know
when the bill might be voted
on in committee, but
predicted he would have a
head count today.
The Senate passed its
legalized horse-race betting

said
Before the late Wednesday
vote, Hall told his colleagues.
I don't want this committee
to think anybody 's going to in-
itimidate this committee."
Salinas told the committee
not to be stampeded" by the
emotional testimony He said
he resented comments that
anyone who opposes the ban
is " in favor of killing babies ''
The Lubbock legislator also
complained the open con-
tainer ban might be used to
harass minority drivers
The Department of Public
Safety has always found
more people drinking who
were Mexican-American or
black." Salinas said, adding
that law enforcement of-

After his two-hour meeting
with Prime Minister
Menachem Begin earlier to-
day. Shultz said. "I expect to
be in the area for a while, and
perhaps we will regard this
as the first in a series of
private meetings which we
will have."
A high-ranking Israeli of-
ficial said his government
hopes Shultz can convince
Lebanon to accept Israel's
conditions for a troop pull-
out. including giving Maj
Saad Haddad, a Lebanese
militia leader, a command
role in southern Lebanon.
An Israeli official, briefing
reporters under a guarantee
of anonymity, said of Shultz's
mission "We would like him
to get Lebanon to agree on

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Sen Christopher Dodd, giv-
ing a Democratic reply to
President Reagan's Central
America address before a
joint session of Congress, at-
tacked the speech as a for-
mula for failure. "
But other key Democrats —
including House Minority
Leader Jim Wright of Texas
— reacted more positively to
Reagan's call Wednesday for
a bipartisan consensus on U.S
policy toward the strife-torn
region.
Wright warned against U.S
self-righteousness" in at-
tempting to impose
unrealistic standards on the
government of El Salvador,
which has been heavily
criticized for human rights
abuses
House Republican leader
Robert Michel of Illinois said
Reagan s speech may have
succeeded in gaining more
public backing for additional
U.S military aid to El
Salvador.
It was a darned good
speech,” Michel said, ad-
ding "Not everybody (in
Coagress i is set in concrete
on this, and it may influence
people out there "
