It was the second deployment of Russian troops in the region, site ot the worst outbreak of fighting on Russian soil since the Soviet Union dissolved. The ITAR-Tass news agency said troops entered Ingushetia to enforce President Boris Yelt- sin's decree last week that imposed a state of emergency. More than 30,000 Ingush have fled into Ingushetia from their homes in neighboring North Ossetia after fighting sparked by a territorial dispute erupted Oct. 31 between Ingush and Ossetian militants. Cease-fire reported in Bosnia SARAJEVO, Bosnia- Herzegovina (AP) Bosnia's warring factions agreed today on a cease-fire for the entire republic, an independent radio station sported.

The eport, citing the Bosnian presidency as its source, contained no details and could not immediately be confirmed, vlt followed an appeal by Bosnia's Serb leaders for an unconditional truce as soon as possible. Nation Inflation not a threat in 1993 WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect Clinton will have his hands full trying to rejuvenate a sluggish economy, but he shouldn't have to worry about inflation during his first year in office, many analysts say. These economists believe that the 1990-91 recession and the extremely slow growth since then have banished inflation as a threat, at least through the end of 1993. With the inflation dragon subdued, many analysts believe the Federal Reserve will try once more to revive the stagnant economy with another dose of interest rate cuts, although there is debate about the timing of the Fed's next move. The government today was releasing a report on price changes at the wholesale level in October in advance of a report Friday on inflation at the retail level.

Leadership struggle faces Republicans WASHINGTON (AP) Republican senators are battling over leadership posts for the 103rd Congress in what could be a prelude to an internal struggle for the future of the party. Senate Republican and Democratic party caucuses were meeting in private today to pick their leaders for the next session, which begins Jan. 5. Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said there were no contested races on the Democratic side. Minority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas was certain to win reelection to the post that will make him the nation's top elected Republican official when President Bush leaves office Jan.

20. But spirited contests were shaping up for the No. 2 GOP spot, Senate minority whip, and for the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the GOP Senate campaign committee. Chelsea Clinton may attend public school WASHINGTON (AP) President-elect Clinton's strong support for public education is raising hopes among District of Columbia officials that his 12-year-old daughter, Chelsea, will attend public school next year. She attends eighth grade at Mann Magnet School, a Little Rock, public school.

But the Clintons have not yet said whether they will send their 1 to a public school once the lai.nly moves to the nation's capital. District school officials are preparing their pitch to Chelsea parents. School Superintendent i 7 ranklin L. Smith and R. David Hall, president of the D.C.

Board of Education, will send the Clintons material on the city's public schools. Smith said Clinton would be sending a "strong message" if he enrolls Chelsea in a city public school. State Mother wins suit against day care center DALLAS (AP) Jurors have awarded $11.8 million to a mother who sued the daycare center where her 4-year- old son was sexually assaulted by another boy. "I think it was clear to the injury that these people were negligent," the mother's attorney, Michael Pezzulli, said ter the jury finished 11 hours of deliberation. A Children's World Learning Center official said Tuesday the Golden, company will appeal the decision.

"We're shocked by the damages awarded," said Bruce Boyle, a spokesman in Dallas for the day-care chain. "There no credible evidence in the case. We're absolutely confidant that the verdict will be reversed." The boy's mother claimed that Children's World did not properly supervise its staff or the children at the time of the attack five years ago. They knew the 5-year-old boy was abusing children at the center, the suit said, but they failed to stop it or report the abuse.

The event will be highlighted by keynote speaker Lila Cockrell, former mayor of San Antonio. A noted business leader, CockrelJ is a former WAVE who was stationed in Washington, D.C. during World War II. In addition to the women who joined the military. Quiet Shadows also tells the story of civilian American women who participated in the Pacific War.

These concerned women served with the American Red Cross, the U.S.O. and the Press Corps, contributing to the war effort in a variety of ways. For example, American Red Cross worker Susan Tale King, on loan to the O.S.S., hosted a radio program "Reveille Roundup." Her sultry voice and truly American Southern accent was easily recognizable to the troops as a sound from home, while the show served as a means of keeping morale up and counteracting Tokyo Rose, the Axis radio propaganda announcer. This exhibit features many Texas women who served in World War II, including Prisoners of War (POW's) and Army and Navy nurses, in addition to Red Cross workers and U.S.O. perfor- mers.

Some of the women who will be present at the opening include Austin's Margaret Gillooly, who was a POW while she was just a teen. Boeme's Carol Weaverling, a former Red Cross worker, and Houston's Joan Timberlake, former Navy flight nurse, will also be on hand. In addition to Ms. Cockrell, the exhibit welcomes San Antonio natives Ivalee Holtz and Lucy Jopling, former Army flight nurses. Elizabeth Berkley Robinson, a former U.S.O.

performer who went by the name "Betsy Berkley," will also be in attendance. The grand opening will feature special performances by an all women's string quartet and a one-act play, written and performed exclusively for the grand opening event For information on play dates and times, please call the museum. The exhibition will be on display at the Admiral Nimitz Museum every day, ex9ept Christmas, from Nov. 11 untiljan. A duplicate version will travel to Colorado in December.

This exhibition is scheduled to run in different cities throughout the country. "What this shows is the high level of interest in this type of exhibition. I'm really excited about the people we have coming to the event, as well as some of the special items that will be on display," said McDonald.

"Speaking as having worked with different taxing entities, it's about a 30-day process no matter what the county does from the time the rates are set to the time the bills go out," said Eddie Chalmers, chief appraiser for the Kerr County appraisal district.

The establishment of county education districts slowed the rate- setting process last year, and proposed changes in the state legislature could again throw the process behind, Chalmers said. In other county business, commissioners voted to change the name of Guadalupe Savings building to the Kerr County Administration Building. The building was recently purchased to provide additional office space for county departments, but no decision has been made regarding which department will locate in the building. Action was again delayed on ap- proval of a contract with architect Ruben Bohnert for the administration building's renovation and for the county juvenile detention center recently approved by voters. A meeting was tentatively set for Friday to discuss the contract with Bohnert.

After looking at a second contract submitted by Bohnert, Assistant County Attorney Stan Reid said the problems were the same as with the first contract The first contract provided for a 9.75 percentage of total construction costs. Reid expressed concern of giving a percentage of a cost as yet determined. The contract does not include an errors and ommissions clause which Reid said would protect the county from future problems. The clause protects the architect, as the county's legal agent, if any contractors fail to complete their work or do incompetent work, Reid said. Since the administration building project is more of a renovation than a major structural change, Reid said he is not sure it will be a problem, however, a new structure such as the juvenile detention center should be covered by the clause.

Hearing opens in deaths at Hondo nursing home AUSTIN (AP) Greed led to the deaths of seven children in a Hondo nursing home, a state attorney has alleged in a hearing for the administrator who was in charge of the facility when the deaths occurred. But the lawyer for former administrator Barbara Doyle said Monday that Ms. Doyle did nothing wrong. Seven severely disabled children died last year at the Heritage Manor Care Center of Hondo. The Texas Board of Licensure for Nursing Home Administrators started a disciplinary hearing on Ms.

Doyle. She could lose her license if found negligent in the children's deaths. Texas Assistant Attorney General Janet Monteros said the facility lacked equipment and trained staff to meet the needs of severely disabled children, but they were admitted because Medicaid pays more for SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) Two Russian cosmonauts who have begun training here for a shuttle mission said today they are finding both similarities and differences in the U.S. and Russian space programs. "It is too early to say anything definite about our future life and training in the United States, but we can already say that there is something different and a lot in common," Sergei Krikalev said through a translator.

Krikalev and Vladimir Titov came to Houston last week for an intensive training program, and both met briefly with reporters this morning at the Johnson Space Center. One will be chosen to fly aboard Discovery on a research mission scheduled for November 1993, while the other will serve as a backup. The voyage will be the first U.S.-Russian space venture since 1975, when three astronauts and two cosmonauts docked their orbiting Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft. "We are very happy that the first contact during the Soyuz-Apollo mission was followed by our cooperative work now," Titov said, also through a translator. "Hopefully, the experience of cooperation we gain here would lay the foundation for the future work between our cosmonauts and scientists, and will be followed by other endeavors."

"Instead of the health and safety and welfare (of residents) being the primary concern of the administrator, the concern was to increase the number of occupied beds, in the words of the business 'up the census' with (medically fragile) patients because the government pays more for the care of that level of patient," Ms. Monteros said.

But Ms. Doyle's attorney Joe James Sawyer said the nursing home passed half a dozen state inspections. No wrongdoing in the deaths was found by the Texas Department of Health's San Antonio office. Sawyer also said the children who died were terminally ill. "These weren't children who were going to come in, gel better and someday return to life and play baseball.

The only question was when would they die, how would they die, not whether they would die," he said. $599 Free Delivery and Set Up Antique Cherry finish on hardwood solids.
