a handgun, although he is not a
registered peace officer, Morris
said, “His being where he was, it
was legal. That’s as far as I’m
going to go on that point right
now.”
Morris said undercover opera-
tions are “always potentially
dangerous” and that Monday
night’s operation was “a very
quick thing that came up sud-
denly.”
He added, “These people don’t
play for fun, and so far we’ve
been extremely fortunate.”
Citing a longtime respect for
Parker, Morris said he is
waiting for the deputy’s health to
improve before questioning him.
“It’s very obvious there were
some communication problems
there,” Morris said,
what extent I’m not sure.”
Morris said the Monday night
shooting was the first time he
can remember a Chambers
County deputy being shot.
Arrested during the “buy”
was Alfredo Sanchaz, 35, of the
Baytown area. Charged with
possession of stolen property,
Sanchaz has been released on
$5,000 bond.

Alsa Walter Nash, 44, of
Dayton and Sandra Paulette
Dick, 36, of Baytown were
treated at Humana Hospital, of-
ficers said. /' ■ '
Nash and Ms. Dick were
treated and released, a hospital
spokeswoman said.
Police said Nash was driving
west on Highway 146 and was
crossing Lee Drive when his
auto was involved in a collision
with a pickup truck, driven by
Robert Alan Malka, 57, of La
Porte.
The truck was northbound on
Lee Drive when the accident oc-
curred, investigators said.
The Malka vehicle spun
around and was involved in a
collision with another car,
driven by Ms. Dick, which was
southbound on Lee Drive, of-
ficers said.
Malka, who was unhurt in the
accident, was cited for failure to
yield right of way, police said.
In an unrelated incident, a 24-
year-old Houston man escaped
serious injury when his pickup
truck rolled over three times on
Interstate 10 near the intersec-
tion of Garth Road at 2:40 a.m.
Saturday, officers said.
Ronald Scott Arnold was
treated by attendants at the
scene and released, police said.
Police said Arnold was east-
bound on Interstate 10 when he
fell asleep and his truck went out
of control.
Arnold was cited for failure to
control speed.
Two persons were injured in a

economy is in better shape than
many economists say, and
Texas is in a position to continue
its growth, says the author of the
book "Megatrends.”
“The economy is just teriffic.
It's much better than most
economists think. What’s hap-
pening, of course, is that we’re
changing. We’re moving into the
informational-electronic-service
sector. That’s creating new
jobs,” said author John Naisbitt.
Naisbitt said that while
economic growth goes on in
many areas, three states ac-
count for most of the action.
“Extraordinarily, in just
Florida, Texas and California to-
day, in September of 1984, we’re
witnessing about 65 percent of
the population growth momen-
tum and the economic growth
momentum,” he said.
Add the rest of the Southwest
— from California east to Col-
orado and south to Texas — and
that quadrant plus Florida ac-
counts "for 85 percent of the
(growth momentum)."
Naisbitt's comments came at
a Friday meeting called by Gov.
Mark White for heads of state
agencies involved with economic
development.
The author said that national-
ly, a tremendous shift is under
way from the old, heavy in-
dustries to new high-tech
businesses.
While this causes high
unemployment in industries
such as steel and autos. It also
creates lots of jobs, Naisbitt
said, predicting full employment
soon.
