Page 4A Records The Paris News, Wednesday, October 2, 1991 State Drug testing of Congressmen proposed TEXAS DALLAS The only U.S. Congress member who tests his staff for drug use wants to subject his colleagues to similar random drug testing. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, has introduced legislation to require mandatory drug tests for members of Congress. The proposal also calls for publishing results shortly before each congressional election.

"It's not because I think there's a major drug use problem in Congress," Barton said. "I don't have the foggiest idea who might or might not use drugs." But Barton said lawmakers should practice what they preach. First whooping crane arrives for winter AUSTWELL The first whooping crane of 1991-92 season to complete the flight from nesting grounds at Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada to the Texas coast has arrived, an official says. Ken Schwindt, assistant manager of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, said Tuesday the new arrival, a young crane, is not alone because another young whooper had remained on the coast through the summer. "That's why we were uncertain at first whether the crane we saw last week on the island was a new arrival," Schwindt said.

He says it is not uncommon for young cranes, who have not yet paired with a mate, to remain at the refuge over the summer, he said. Psychiatric hospitals get about $1.6 million HOUSTON The Texas Workers' Compensation Fund has made payments to the state's four largest corporate psychiatric hospitals of nearly $1.6 million in fiscal 1991, compared with only $491,071 in fiscal 1989, according to state records. Hospital claims by those chains during the period nearly doubled from 125 in fiscal 1989 to 246 in fiscal 1991, the Houston Chronicle reported today. Quoting records in the state comptroller's office, the newspaper reported that the increasing draw on the workers' compensation fund by the four chains mirrors a similar situation with the Texas Crime Victim's Compensation fund. Denton band has tentative agreement DENTON A state district judge is considering a proposal to settle a lawsuit against the playing of Christian music by the Denton High School marching band.

The American Civil Liberties Union announced Tuesday that a tentative agreement had been reached to settle the suit filed last month by the ACLU and the American Jewish Congress against the Denton Independent School District. Joe Cook, executive director of the North Texas regional office of the ACLU in Dallas, released a statement saying the plan had been endorsed by the Denton ISO board. African bee containment zone expanded COLLEGE STATION The Africanized honeybees have claimed a little more South Texas turf, prompting agriculture officials to expand their containment zone. Duval, Jim Wells, Kleberg and Nueces counties on Tuesday joined 12 others already under a quarantine restricting the movement of commercial bee operations, said Paul Jackson, chief of the Texas Apiary Inspection Service. The apiary service is the regulatory agency for state bee laws.

Beekeepers are not allowed to move hives out of the quarantine area, an expanding zone devised by officials attempting to prevent the assisted spread of the so-called "killer bees." National Republicans: unemployment bill doomed say the unemployment benefits bill that Congress passed is doomed, and they are calling on Democrats to drop an attempt to override President Bush's expected veto and accept a less-costly GOP alternative. But Democrats say their $6.4 billion legislation extending jobless benefits by up to 20 weeks is very much alive. By the time Bush casts his veto and lawmakers try to reverse him later this month, a worsening economy and complaints from constituents may win them the extra votes they need, Democrats say. Donald Leroy Evans receives life sentence BILOXI, Miss. Donald Leroy Evans, who claims to have killed more than 70 people since 1977, was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping a 10-year-old homeless girl who was later found strangled.

He could be sentenced to death if convicted. International Ousted president seeks OAS assistance PORT-AU-PRINCE, gunfire echoed in the streets of the capital today, two days after the military coup that ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and international pressure intensified for the restoration of the nation's first freely elected president. Aristide was to fly to Washington today to urge the Organization of American States to take collective action to put him back in power. In Venezuela on Tuesday, Aristide, who was forced to leave the country after Monday's military takeover, called for an armed U.N. force to return him to the office he had held for just seven months after a big election victory in December.

But the U.N. Security Council has so far refrained from acting. In Washington, President Bush suspended the $85 million U.S. aid program for Haiti and called for "an immediate to violence and the restoration of democracy." France and Canada also halted aid programs. The Weather The Forecast PARIS AREA: Tonight, fair with a low in the middle 60s.
