Scattered showers
won’t affect heat
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms were expected to
have little effect on the stifling
heat that continues over Texas,
forecasters say.
The showers and
thunderstorms were being trig-
gered Wednesday by a weak up-
per air trough rolling across the
southern High Plains. The front
extended early Wednesday from
the northeast Panhandle
through the Dallas-Fort Worth
area into East Texas near
Longview.
Forecasts called for showers
and thunderstorms over the
DaVis Mountains and the High
Plains and for more scattered
showers and thunderstorms over
northern, central and
southeastern sections of the
state.
Highs Wednesday were to be
at or above the 100-degree mark
across much of the state
although readings were to re-
main in the 90s 'in some areas
and to as low as near 80 along the
upper Texas coast.
Lows tonight will again be
mostly in the 70s, ranging up-
ward into the low 80s over
southern and northern portions
of the state. Highs Thursday will
again be mostly near or slightly
above the 100-degree reading.
Some showers’* and
thunderstorms were reported
along the weak front early
Wednesday, mostly along the
Red River from north of vemon
to west of Possum Kingdom
Reservoir. The rest of the state
had clear to partly cloudy skies
and no rain.
. Early morning temperatures
were mostly in the 70s and 80s
although a few readings dropped
Into the 60s across the Trans-
Pecos. Extremes ranged from 83
at Del Rio, Corpus Christi and
Dallas to 61 at Marfa.
Other early morning readings
around the state included 70 at
Amarillo, 75 at Wichita Falls, 76
at Fort Worth, 78 at Waco,
Austin and San Antonio, 75 at
Brownsville, 74 at San Angelo, 72
at Lubbock, 74 at Midland and 68
at El Paso.
Defector says that.™,
rights panel used
WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior member of Nicaragua’s
human rights commission who secretly defected to the United
States four months ago says the SandlnistaS tried to turn the
panel into a propaganda agency, according to U.S. government
documents.
Mateo Guerrero, former executive director of Nicaragua’s
National Commission for the Promotion and Protection of
Human Rights, told U.S. interrogators following his defection
that Sandinista interference has prevented the agency from in-
vestigating most abuses.
The commission was established five years ago as an
autonomous agency.
Reached by telephone Tuesday, Guerrero refused to discuss
his case publicly. But a four-page U.S. government summary
of his disclosures to American interrogators, made available to
The Associated Press, Include the following:
—The commission, established in 1980 to investigate rights
abuses, has Increasingly come under the control of the
Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry, which has attempted to use the
office to enhance Nicaragua’s international image.
—Since late 1983, the ministry’s secretary general, Alejan-
dro Bendana, has monitored the commission’s activities. Ear-
ly this year, he told the commission leadership not to in-
vestigate allegations of abuses concerning the forced reloca-
tion of several communities in northern Nicaragua. If the
leaders did otherwise, “they would only get themselves into
trouble,” the summary said.
—Bendana told two commission officials last January that
the panel was going to assist the Nicaraguan government in
establishing ties with foreign human rights groups ■
Stay granted
South African saved
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa (AP) — With foreign and
domestic foes of apartheid call-
ing for clemency, a Supreme
Court judge granted a three-
week stay of execution to a black
man convicted of killing a
policeman whose murder was
ordered by black guerrillas.
The stay came less than 12
hours before the scheduled dawn
hanging of Ben Moloise.
Meanwhile, police firing rub-
ber bullets wounded several
anti-apartheid protesters in
black townships near Cape Town
and Johannesburg on Tuesday.
More than 600 people have died
in the past year of rioting
against apartheid, the system of
racial segregation.
Worshippers gathered in
Johannesburg’s Roman Catholic
Cathedral of Christ the King for
an all-night vigil for Moloise and
were midway through a Mass
when news of the reprieve came.
Moloise was to have been ex-
ecuted in Pretoria’s Central
Prison.
“Now it is a Mass of
thanksgiving,’’ said Helen
Joseph, a campaigner against
apartheid, the race laws that
guarantee South Africa’s 5
million whites supremacy over
24 million blacks.
Judge C.F. Eloff issued his rul-
ing in Ben Moloise’s case Tues-
day night. The outlawed African
National Congress guerrilla
group acknowledges ordering
the killing, but says Moloise was
not the gunman.

ATTENTION, UNIDEN’ CORDLESS TELEPHONE USERS.
You may be eligible for a free handset modification.
Unideri announces a nationwide program
whereby owners of certain Uniden* and
Extend-A-Phone* cordless telephones can have
their handsets retrofitted with new “slope”
ringer circuitry. This modification will make the
handset ring signal come on gradually with a
reduced overall sound level.
Uniden is offering this free modification
because of controversy surrounding the
alleged effects of cordless telephone earpiece
ringers. Most older cordless telephone hand-
sets ring through the earpiece, and when such
units are not used in accordance with manufac-
turers’ instructions, they may ring directly into
the ear. Some people have complained of
alleged hearing impairment associated with
such accidental misuse. Medical authorities are
in disagreement as to whether this may affect
hearing. Uniden has redesigned its ringer cir-
cuitry and, to minimize controversy, is offering
to "modify certain older handsets by incorporat-
ing this improved circuitry and reducing the
ringer sound level. ■
If you own any of the following Uniden*
or Extend-A-Phone* models, you may have your
handset retrofitted with the new “slope” ringer
circuitry. Check your handset markings to deter-
mine whether you have one of the units listed.
