Along a broad swath of Kenya's border with Somalia, organized bands of Somali poachers armed with machineguns have been slaughtering elephants and other game, leaving their carcasses to rot in the sun. In the world-famous Tsavo National Park, poachers after ivory and skins are reported to be responsible for killing 1,040 elephants, 235 rhinos and 20 leopards in the past six months.

The over-all elephant population in the park officially has declined from 35,900 in 1973-74 to an estimated 20,200 last June. In Nairobi's National Park over the past two years, the number of zebras declined from 15,000 to around 1,500. Around the gently lapping shores of Lake Nakuru, where three million flame- colored flamingos once provided what was described as "the greatest bird spectacle in the world," only a fraction still tiptoe into the water to feed. The immediate cause is a decline in the bluegreen algae on which they feed. The underlying reasons have still to be ascertained, but the local press has reported that pollution from a factory producing agricultural fungicide could beat fault.

This is the grim picture that recently persuaded Kenya's Parliament to recommend creation of a select committee to probe the operations of the Tourism and Wildlife Ministry and the causes of the wildlife crisis. During the debate there were demands for the resignation of the tourism and wildlife minister. Mathews Ogutu. The issue is one of major importance to Kenya. The East African nation contains what has been described as "the last great reservoir of wildlife on earth." The 30 Dow Jones industrials closed Monday at 972.41.

MESS WfLL AMD SUCCEED SE Corner Ptaza Davis lawyer promises 'real killer'to surf ace FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) Lawyer Richard "Racehorse" Haynes says his client, millionaire T. Cullen Davis, not only is innocent of capital murder charges, but that the real killer will be revealed during Davis' trial.

Haynes and co-defense attorney Phil Burleson said Monday they have evidence that someone not yet associated with the si ay ings of Davis' stepdaughter and his estranged wife's alleged boyfriend was at the murder scene at the time of the shootings. Roxton board names panel News Regional Desk ROXTON The Roxton School Board appointed a textbook committee Monday night. According to Superintendent Clovis VanDeaver, the five-member committee will review a selection of possible texts, and make recommendations for their adoption.

Andrea Wilborn, 12, and ex-Texas Christian University basketball star Stan Farr were shot to death Aug. 3 at the $6 million Davis mansion here in a shooting spree that left Davis" wife, Priscilla, and another man wounded. Haynes said the motive was drug-related. "I don't know what the story is burglar may have been trying to get at the drugs or it may have been a doublecross on a drug deal," Haynes said. Haynes made his statements during a recess in a pre-trial hearing in Davis' murder case.

Haynes introduced the drug angle after State District Court Judge Tom Cave ruled the defense is not entitled to results of tests performed on evidence obtained at the scene of the crime. That question was one of 65 defense motions to be ruled on during the hearing. Haynes raised the drug question while questioning Tarrant County Dist. Atty. Tim Curry.

"Are you aware of any narcotics found in the Mockingbird Lane residence?" Haynes asked. Asst. Dist. Atty. Joe Shannon Jr.

objected, asking Judge Cave, "Is he (Haynes) taking the position that if there was a bunch of dope found in that house it would give the defendant the right to kill someone?" Curry answered that he had no knowledge of narcotics found at the scene, but Haynes said he had information to the contrary. Curry testified, "I am aware of no evidence favorable to this defendant."
