DALLAS (AP) — A Long Island, N.Y., couple who waited six years
to adopt a baby that has become the center of an alleged baby-selling
scheme may have custody by Christmas of the child they have
grown to love.
In a court hearing Thursday, it was revealed that the child’s
natural mother, Tammy Hagee, of Grand Prairie, had made an
about-face and decided not to fight the couple’s efforts to adopt her
daughter, 10-month-old Rachel Marie — even though she never in-
tended the baby to wind up in the hands of strangers.
State District Judge Craig Penfold granted temporary custody of
the baby to Neil and Virginia Dauler-Phinney, a 53-year-old universi-
ty professor and his 30-year-old wife, who teaches special education.
The judge said the baby cannot be legally adopted until she has
been with the couple six months, a period ending Dec. 23. Penfold
said he would like to find a way to resolve the matter by then.

Lawmaker wants seat belt repeal
ODESSA (AP) — Not more than a month after a mandatory seat
belt law went into effect, a West Texas lawmaker annouced a drive
to have the legislation repealed because he says the measure
restricts personal freedoms.
Rep. Kelly Godwin, R-Odessa, said Thursday that the Sept 1. law
requiring motorists and front-seat passengers to buckle up is ineffec-
tive and unconstitutional.
The Odessa lawmaker said he is beginning a petition drive to
repeal the law adding that its “true test” is public acceptance. Het
admitted seat belts can save lives.
“But that’s not the issue here. The issue is personal freedom and
infringement on personal rights," the lawmaker said.
The law fails to meet federal Department of Transportation stan-
dards for similar laws, and to protect Texas from accident liability
suits, he said.
Although Texas' new seat belt law took effect Sept. 1, *25 to *50
fines for non-compliance will not be imposed until December.

“they stop haranguing us and make
them (the British and French) ac-
countable for their own forces.”
In past negotiations, Moscow has
tried to get the United States to in-
clude British and French nuclear
forces — specifically missile-firing
submarines — as part of talks on con-
trolling intermediate nuclear
weapons.
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Mark White plans to leave Saturday on a
special five-day trip to Japan to try to convince the makers of Toyota
automobiles to locate an assembly plant in Texas.
The plant would produce 200,000 new cars and create 2,000 jew jobs
by 1988
The sites under consideration in the state, White said, are El Paso,
Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Marshall-Longview.
“Texas offers the most attractive site for Toyota’s first major pro-
duction facility in the United States," White told a news conference
Thursday.
Twenty other states are competing with Texas for the Toyota site.

CHICAGO (AP) — Massive fires raged across entire continents,
devouring everything in their path and leaving a charred, dark and
silent planet in their wake, with half the existing species — including
the dinosaurs — destroyed.
Such a holocaust sweeping the globe 65 million years ago could
have been touched off by a giant mushroom cloud sparked by a
meteor that smashed into the Earth, three University of Chicago
chemists say in an article published today in the journal Science.
Though Nobel Prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez several years
ago blamed the extinction of the dinosaurs on a meteor striking the
Earth, the theory of global holocaust by Dr. Edward Anders. Wendy
S. Wolbach and Roy S. Lewis is a new one
It is is similar to the “nuclear winter” that many believe could
follow a nuclear war, Anders said in a telephone interview Thurs-
day.
He said he and his associates pieced together their theory after
discovering unusually high levels of soot and charcoal in clay
samples from the time.
DALLAS (AP) — A man who broke his neck and suffered burns
over more than 80 percent of his body in the Aug. 2 crash of Delta
Flight 191 died at a Dallas hospital, making him the 137th victim of
the disaster.
Mark Vicich, 29, died at 1:11 p.m. Thursday, said Parkland
Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Catherine Ellis. His family was
with him, she said.
Delta Flight 191 crashed in a thunderstorm while attempting to
land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
A motorist was killed when the jetliner clipped his car on a
highway near the airport and 132 others aboard the plane died. Three
others died later from their injuries.
Vicich, a sales representative for a clothing manufacturer, is sur-
vived by his parents, his wife Charlene and a brother and sister. The
couple had no children.

native Texas as well as in New York.
He has starred as Matt’ in Talley's

Mutiny Court Martial and Villa' in
Pancho Villa’s Wedding Day’. On
the screen, Rincon has performed in
The Legend of Billie Jean’ and can
be seen in the forthcoming Pray for
Death’ and ‘Witchfire’ starring
Shelley Winters.
“Not every actor can play every
role,” agreed both of the actors.
“Not everyone is the same size, col-
or, shape, etc."
“When you’re on the road, you
make a lot of money. Your respon-
sibilities are taken care of i place to

road.
It's difficult leaving your wife,"
said Rincon of his being on the road,
"you get a lot of phone bills and try to
meet people to fill up your tune."
Both the actors spend their free

Rincon uses his time catching up
on movies and writing scripts for

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States should give direct
military aid to the Afghan resistance against the Soviet Union, says
Republican Rep. Tom Loeffler of Hunt.
Loeffler, who has announced he is running for governor, presented
an award from the U.S. Council for World Freedom to Pir Syed
Gailani, founder of the National Islamic Front of Afghanistan, for
resistance commander Wali Kahn, named by the group as
“Freedom Fighter of the Year.”
“I accept the award on behalf of the freedom fighters who have
fallen in defense of our country,” said a written statement from
Kahn. “I cannot be with you, for we have been engaged in fighting
with the Soviet invader constantly since July 26.
“I pledge to the Mujahideen who have fallen that we will fight to
the last man, and if our country is still occupied, our sons will pick up
arms against the Soviets, and so it will be until the last generation is
born or until Afghanistan is free."
Loeffler and other Republican congressmen then heard Gen. Ab-
dul Wardak tell how the resistance had accomplished a “stalemate"
with the Soviet Union during the past five years despite using World
War I-era weapons against the superpower.
“In my judgment," said Loeffler, “Congress ought to step forward
with military aid in an overt way rather than the effort that has been
ongoing in a covert situation.”
Loefler said there was “no difference" between the situation of
the freedom fighters in Afghanistan and freedom fighters in
Nicaragua.
Reps Eldon Rudd and John McCain of Arizona called on the
Soviets to abide by international agreements protecting journalists.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A
35-year-old man arrested more than
40 times in the past 17 years for stom-
ping on people’s feet has been
sentenced to jail for two more in-
cidents, including one while he was
free on bond.
George Mitchell pleaded guilty
Thursday to treading on a woman’s
feet outside a Nashville restaurant
April 22 and on another’s in a store
checkout lane Aug. 29. Criminal
Court Judge Sterling Gray sentenced
him to the maximum 11 months and
29 days on each of the misdemeanor
counts and said Mitchell must serve
three-fourths of each sentence before
being eligible for parole.
Andrei Lee-Sadler, Mitchell's
lawyer, said she has found a
psychologist willing to counsel him
free of charge.
“This time, if the Lord is willing,
we're going to have some help," she
said. “I have a psychologist who’s
going to talk with him and hopefully
work with him at the workhouse.”
