Bush car pelted in German clash By LAYLAN COPELIN American-Statesman Staff The Legislature created a state agency Saturday to investigate job discrimination and then adjourned its special session. A coalition of minority and liberal lawmakers deflected several attempts to torpedo the human rights commission in the House, where the measure passed on a preliminary 61-60 vote and later was adopted with Senate amendments, 60-55. The Senate passed the bill on voice vote. But the coalition never got a vote on its second issue, extending workmen's compensation to farm workers, because a reported compromise fell apart during backroom negotiations. Lawmakers Friday passed the issues that prompted the special session: a brucellosis control program and extension of the life of the Texas Employment Commission.

THE HUMAN RIGHTS commission will investigate complaints of employment-related discrimination on the basis of race, color, handicap, religion, sex, age or national origin. Supporters said complaints now handled by the federal government could be processed more quickly by the state. Gov. Mark White will appoint six members to the rights commission, which will receive $200,000 in state money in addition to federal money during the next two years. Opponents in the House cut the state money to $48,000 and dictated legislative review of the agency in two years.

But Democratic Sen. Lloyd Doggett of Austin amended the House bill to include the higher funding and to extend the period before legislative review to four years. Doggett's championing of a human rights commission helped make the special session necessary. During the regular session, he had amended a bill extending the Texas Employment Commission to create a rights commission, and the legislature failed to pass the amended measure. "Sure I've taken some political heat," said Doggett, a probable candidate for the U.S.

Senate. "But we saw today only extraordinary action would succeed." A FINAL ATTEMPT at a compromise in the farm worker issue failed. The compromise would have exempted most Texas farmers without extending workmen's compensation to farm workers. Farmers' groups wanted to require only liability insurance for corporate fanners and ranchers. "The bill was going in a direction I couldn't support," said Sen.

The Legislature also agreed Saturday to: Require hotels, motels and boardinghouses to install smoke alarms in sleeping quarters by 1984. Appropriate $120,000 for a state ethics commission and $15 million for construction at Texas Southern University in Houston. Let voters decide whether commodity associations can collect contributions from agriculture producers to promote Texas farm products.

Associated Press At least 8 billion creatures may exist in the Earth's galaxy, a professor said Saturday at a University of Texas symposium. "A conservative estimate suggests that in our own galaxy, there should be at least 8 billion fellows or cockroaches or whatever they are," Dr. Victor Szebehely told an Update '83 audience. "Makes no difference what form they take, the estimate is that there are other beings." But Szebehely, a National Academy of Engineering member and UT professor of aerospace engineering, said Congress has thwarted efforts to contact the creatures. He singled out Sen.

William Proxmire, as "not the closest friend of scientists and engineers because he is very cost-effective." "They are there and we are all here and between us is Sen. Proxmire," Szebehely said. He said the estimates of life on other planets stemmed in part from the work of Copernicus, who said Earth is not the center of the universe or even the solar system. "We are a good old average planet," said Szebehely. when I saw him and Becky hitchhiking.

He said she was his wife and they were on their way to Wichita Falls to pick up a check from a man in California," Moore said. Moore gave them a lift, but the check had not arrived. He took the couple back to Stoneburg and told them they could stay in an old chicken shed next to his church. The couple told him they had stayed a short time with Kate Rich, 80, a well-known longtime resident of the Montague County community of Ringgold. "SHE HAD A DAUGHTER in California, married to Jack Smart, and he (Lucas) said they sent he and Becky to Texas to clean her yard and fix her plumbing," Moore said.

That arrangement ended after about a week when Rich's other daughters ordered the couple off the place, Moore said. Moore later took the couple back to Wichita Falls to pick up the money, an $80 check from Smart for work Lucas had done in California. Moore said he told the couple they could stay on in the chicken shed in exchange for work. "He did work in the yard, helped me with my roofing jobs, fixed lawn mowers, TVs, an electric welder he was a real hard worker," Moore said.

The story began with Ruben Moore's decision in 1982 to pick up Henry Lee Lucas and a young woman hitchhiking. It wound its way through Montague County Sheriff W.F. Conway's suspicion and nine months of investigation. "If this guy has done everything he says he has, it could take years before it's over," Texas Ranger Sgt. Carl Weathers said of Lucas' courtroom claim that he had killed more than 100 women.

THE 46-YEAR-OLD Lucas, a mechanically talented drifter convicted of killing his mother in Michigan in 1960, remains in Montague County Jail on $1 million bail. He has been charged with murdering three women in Texas and is being investigated as a suspect in other killings. Moore, a 52-year-old roofing contractor who is minister of Free Holiness Church at Stoneburg, recalled his first meeting with Lucas as he sipped buttermilk last week at the table they once shared. "I had a job in Wichita Falls and was on my way there (in May 1982) By JAMES M. MARKHAM New York Times Service KREFELD, West Germany Hundreds of masked youths screaming slogans battled riot police and hurled rocks, bottles and paint-filled balloons at Vice President George Bush's motorcade Saturday.

The demonstrators splattered black paint on several cars, dented Bush's black Mercedes limousine, damaged three squad cars, and smashed windows of a bus carrying guests to a an official luncheon. No one in the mortorcade was injured. Krefeld police said 100 demonstrators were arrested and 30 riot police were injured by stones and other objects. Police said no figure was available for the number of injured demonstrators, partly because they had organized their own medical services. Security was especially tight during the eight-hour visit because an unexploded bomb was found Friday outside an American firm in Dusseldorf, where Bush's jet landed and departed.

The skirmish in downtown Krefeld took attention away from a much larger, peaceful anti-nuclear demonstration near the vice president's hotel headquarters. The police said 15,000 people took part in that demonstration. Peter Bonisch, an aide to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, accused "professional brawlers," including Germans from West Berlin and Dutch leftists, of provoking the violence, which was linked to protests against the stationing of American medium-range Pershing 2 and cruise missiles in Western Europe. Kohl responded by pledging to Bush that the Bonn government "will not bend to the terror of the street." Bush, on the second leg of an eight-nation European trip to rally support for the Reagan administration's foreign policies, shrugged off the demonstrations. "They are entitled to do this," he said.

(AP) Poison ivy, that curse of America's woodlands, appears to have met its match in a compound developed by Mississippi researchers that blocks the body's allergic reaction to the plant After several years of development and tests on animals, Dr. Sue Watson and her associates at the Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences have signed an agreement with a private drug firm that has begun testing the drug on humans. "They are testing on humans in California and Pennsylvania and the reports we have gotten back show things are going very, very well," said Watson, an immunologist at the University of Mississippi institute. The tormenting itchy rash that an allergic person develops when exposed to ivy is caused by an immune response in the skin, Watson said. She said tests show that the drug, taken orally before and during the summer, can interfere with the unwanted immune response without side effects.

"It will help some people a lot and others only a little. It does seem to help people that are most sensitive." Watson said researchers plan to file a drug application with the Federal Drug Administration next year. "After that, it's just a matter of time before final approval for marketing." i -i i.y i 1 1 NBA picks Two Houston Cougars and one Arkansas Ra-zorback head a strong cast of Southwest Conference basketball players eligible for Tuesday's NBA draft.
