Bush: Gorbachev wants change
Baytown police credit the ac-
tion of a Harris County sheriff’s
deputy Tor the apprehension of a
burglary suspect and the recov-
ery of numerous items of prop-
erty stolen front World-Wide
Stereo, 4505-B Garth Road, ab-
out 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Two suspects used a stolen
Suburban to crash into the store,
police said. ThCy then loaded up
the vehicle with ,stereo
equipment. i
A witness to the incident
called Baytown police who be-
came involved in an auto chase
with the suspects.
The sheriff’s deputy heard po-
lice radio reports on the j inci-
dent-set up a .surveillance for
the suspect vehicle and sgave
chase as it passed his location in
Houston. That chase, reaching
speeds of about 100 miles per
hour, proceeded from Interstate
10 to Loop 610, over the ship
channel bridge and ended when
the suspects wrecked the Subur-
ban. The suspects fled on foot.

The stolen property was re-

BURGLARIES
—Someone stole numerous
tools from a residence in the
2100 block of Montana Street
over the weekend, police said.
Total loss is $2,000.
—Police report someone en-
tered a residence in the 7700
block of Bayway Drive between
7 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. Monday
and removed items including
televisions and a videocassettc
recorder. Total loss is $1,270,

in control” in the Soviet Union
and committed to peaceful
change as hard-line communist
governments are swept from
power.
While refusing to proclaim
the Cold War over, Bush said
Gorbachev’s acceptance of dra-
matic reforms in Eastern Europe
‘‘absolutely mandates new
thinking” by the West.
Bush returned to the While
House on Monday night after
two days of summit talks in
Malta and a stop in Brussels to
brief NATO leaders. He was
greeted by his wife, Barbara,
who got a kiss, and dog, Millie,
who got a pat.
As soon as he got to his
private White House quarters,
Bush called Philippine President
Corazon Aquino to express con-
cern for the lives of Americans
trapped in hotels in Manila by
rebel forces trying to overthrow
her.
Bush paid tribute to her cour-
age; in seeking to quell the
rebellion, White House press
secretaty Marlin Fitzwatcr said.
Mrs. Aquino, Fitzwatcr said,
assured Bush her gbvemment
was doing everything possible
to protect Amencans.
Bush, in a concession to
possible jet lag from trans-
Atlantic travel, pushed back his
schedule one hour Tuesday,
receiving his daily intelligence
briefing in the Oval Office at 9
a.m. instead of 8 a.m.
But Bush’s optimistic
remarks about Gorbachev con-
trasted with comments by Vice
President Dan Quayle in an
interview published Tuesday in
The Washington Post. Quayle,
who has been more skeptical in
his public comments on the
Soviet Union than other admi-
nistration officials, said there
was no/cason to believe Soviet
foreign policy has changed.
“You’re still dealing with a
totalitarian government” that
wants to "create instability”
around the globe, he said.

RALPH MUCKLEROY, 59, of
Baytown died Dec. 4 in a Bay-
Home.
He said an endowment of $2 million would allow the center to
meet its expected initial operating costs of about $200,Q00 a year.
Although plans for the center still arc somewhat nebulous, Harris
said it would house Lcland’s congressional archives and serve as a
resource center for research into hunger-related topics such as diet,
land use and development policies.
It also could sponsor research by its staff and by scholars from
other departments and institutioas, he said.

from TSU in 1970 and later taught at the school.
A site for the center has not been determined, he said. Jt would
include a director and support staff, but the exact number of person-
nel also has not been decided, Harris said. He said he hopes it can
begin operations in “a few months.”
Randall Meyer, retired president of Exxon Inc. and chairman of
the school’s capital fund-raising campaign, said the Houston Endow- P.«..
ment and Chicago Mercantile Exchange gifts bring the total raised to outings,
more than $6 million, exceeding the $5 million goal.
Houston Endowment Inc. is a charitable trust founded by the late
Houston financier Jesse H. Jones and his wife, Mary Gibbs, Jones.
