'HOUSTON — The Legisla-
ture’s $500 million prison re-
form plan may have hit a stum-
bling block, with Harris
County’s decision to refuse the
state’s offer to ease local jail
overcrowding.
The Harris County Commis-
sioners Court voted Tuesday to
refuse the state’s offer, to ease
the number of state prisoners
crowding local jail cells.
Last month, lawmakers ap-
proved a bill that would end
lawsuits against the state over
inmate backlogs. Twelve coun-
ties are suing in state courts to
force the state to take thousands
of felons currently held in local
jails. A separate federal suit was
filed over Harris County’s jail
1 overcrowding.
MANILA, Philippines —
Mount Pmatubo erupted with
three thundering explosioiis to-
day, shooting a giant plume of
ash more than 12 miles, high and
chasing nearby residents away
with an outpouring of molten
rock and hot gas.
Scientists warned of more,
possibly larger eruptions from
the 4,795-foot volcano, which
was dormant for six centuries
until it began spewing steam in
April.
MOSCOW — Russians cast
ballots today in' their vast re-
public’s first popular presiden-
tial election, which pitted heav-
ily favored populist Boris N.
Yeltsin against Communist stal-
warts who want to slow the tide
of reform.
A clear majority would
strengthen Yeltsin’s hand in his
dealings with President Mikhail
S. Gorbachev, who has never
faced popular election and has
refused to throw His support be-
hind any of the six candidates.
Yeltsin advocates a swift
transition to a market-based eco-
nomy, including the legalization
of private property, and political
and economic decentralization
that would shift power from the
Kremlin to the republics.
WASHINGTON — With the
space station’s fate still in doubt,
a White House-created commit-
tee is offering an even more am-
bitious program for colonizing
the moon and visiting Mars.
The 10-month study headed
by former astronaut Thomas P.
Stafford attached no price tag to
four scenarios, each of which
calls for astronauts on the moon
in 12 years to 14 years, and on
Mars in the years 2014 to 2016.
WASHINGTON — The So-
viet Union will be able to buy
$1.5 billion in U.S. grain this
year with loans guaranteed by
the U.S. government in another
show of support by President
Bush for beleaguered Soviet
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The credit guarantees ap-
proved by Bush on Tuesday are
especially popular in the grain-
producing states of the Midwest,
whose farmers will benefit from
the boost in sales.
New vaccine
could stabilize
AIDS virus
BOSTON — Scientists say
they have developed a geneti-
cally engineered vaccine that ap-
pears to hold the AIDS vims in
check.
The researchers reported in
Thursday’s New England Jour-
nal of Medicine that levels of T
cells — disease-fighting white
blood cells that ordinarily are
destroyed by the vims — have
remained stable during more
than two years of treatment in
some people receiving the ex-
perimental vaccine.
Scientists say it represents a
new approach to fighting infec-
tion. Until now, vaccines have
been used to ward off infection.
But in the latest approach, doc-
tors used a vaccine to beef up
the body’s virus-fighting powers
after infection.
“I think it’s very promising,
particularly in terms of teaching
us how the human body’s im-
mune system controls HIV,”
said Dr. Robert R. Redfield, a
researcher at Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research in Rock-
ville, Md. He directed the test-
ing of the vaccine on 30 infected
volunteers and wrote the report.
“It obviously gains in intrigue
because not only is it safe, but it
appears to be associated with
short-term stabilization of T
cells.”
