Developer Robert Barnstone is proposing a plan for three buildings facing an open plaza the size of a city block filled with trees, pathways, benches and sidewalk cafes to attract citizens and visitors. I w( Tr- iiii if fn viiy nan IT fr. If Robert Barnstone's proposed City Hall complex would contain a plaza and two other buildings providing stores, restaurants, offices and parking. -brldge tScS Staff Graphic by James Black This is the first of what is expected to be several plans for a downtown municipal office building. The City Council last week authorized City Manager Nicholas Meiszer to accept proposals from developers and investors.

The council will make the decision. In Barnstone's proposal, the 10-story City Hall would be built on what is now a municipal parking lot directly north of the municipal annex at 200 W. Second St. The annex would be razed to make way for the plaza. The city would retain ownership of the property and lease the 100 and 300 blocks of West First Street for retail, office and residential space.

The proposal recommends two 10-story buildings for private development east and west of the plaza, with specialty shops, cafes, clubs, galleries, newsstands and possibly a theater at street level. He said a major department store, not already located in Austin, will be contacted about moving into one of the buildings. Barnstone said he hopes the council will ignore any proposals to sell the city-owned waterfront property and move the City Hall elsewhere. "Doing that would probably lead to a solid wall of high-rise buildings along the waterfront creating a baf rier from the downtown to the river and vice versa," Barnstone said. The city leases almost 100,000 square feet of office space.

Meiszer and other officials say the scattered offices make it difficult to do business. The continuing cost of leasing about $700,000 a year has also been criticized. The City Hall would be paid for by the de AP Study links genetics to alcoholism in men From Wlra Report KHARTOUM, Sudan President Gaafar Mohammed Nlmelri Monday offered to accept Palestinian guerril-ias trapped In West Beirut Into his north central African country, the official news agency reported. "Sudan Is ready to receive the Palestinian fighters In Lebanon who were exposed to the conspiracies of many parties," Nlmelri said. He also offered Khartoum's PLO office as a base for "Palestinian action in Africa," the agency said, without clarifying what the phrase meant U.S.

officials reacted cautiously to the offer. "We have no confirmation yet," State Department spokesman Christopher Ross said. "Obviously we would welcome any Arab solution which could solve the problem of relocating the Palestinian guerrillas." He said the department was monitoring reports coming from the Sudan and made clear that the State Department did not want to dismiss the possibility of a breakthrough at long last in efforts to get the Palestinians out of Beirut Israel has said the 7,000 guerrillas In West Beirut must leave the country before it will withdraw its soldiers.

In Beirut Monday, Israeli Jets scored a direct hit on a Palestinian ammunition dump, setting off a chain reaction of explosions that rocked the Lebanese capital for more than an hour and sent plumes of smoke towering over the city. The timing of the raid was taken in some quarters as an Israeli reply to a statement Arafat signed Sunday, say- lng he "accepts all U.N.

resolutions relevant to the Palestine question." The Israeli jets flew over West Beirut at 2:42 p.m., and some people saw a connection between the time and U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which implicitly recognizes the right of Israel to exist but has not been accepted by PLO. It was the fifth straight day Israeli jets have pounded the Palestinian strongholds. A senior Palestinian official said the PLO was convinced the Israeli attacks are part of a soft-ening-up process, designed to destroy the PLO or get it to use up as" much ammunition as possible in advance of an Israeli assault on West, Beirut All for Granny When Marina Coelho de Oil- ion that numbered more than veira of Brazil turned 100, her iOOO.

Funds to retire subjects were from families with a history of alcoholism. "We're hopeful that in the long run we'll be able to use this as a predictor," said Dr. Helen Neville, a Salk researcher and the study's principal Investigator.

The researchers estimate that 9 million Americans are alcoholics. Comparable brain-wave data on women were not available. Bloom said the study grew out of work designed to find how alcohol affected a person's response to sound. Electrodes attached to scalps of subjects who had been drinking were wired to a computer programmed to identify the brain's response to sound patterns. The computer displayed unexplained brain-wave variations in some subjects.

Through interviews with 30 subjects, researchers discovered which were sons of fathers with alcohol problems. LA JOLLA, Calif. (AP) Scientists studying brain waves think sons of alcoholic fathers may be genetically susceptible to alcoholism. The study represents the first biological evidence that alcoholism is, to some degree, hereditary, said Dr. Floyd Bloom, director of the Alcohol Research Center at the Salk Institute.

Statistical studies during the last few years have shown that people with a family history of alcoholism are four times more likely to have alcoholic children than a family with no alcoholism in its past. Salk researchers found that sons of fathers with drinking-related problems arrests, lost jobs and marital trouble exhibited a particular type of brain-wave pattern. Sons of fathers with no drinking problems showed different patterns. By studying brain-wave patterns alone, researchers were able to predict with 80 percent accuracy which the $20 million debt would come from leasing the waterfront property, parking fees and the money now paid to lease other office space. Barnstone's proposed municipal building would contain about 330,000 square feet of office space.

"City Hall has got to be the heart and soul of the city," said Barnstone, a member of the Downtown Revitalization Task Force. "If we expect the City Hall to help other areas develop, it's got to be more than just an office building. It has to be a center." duced its work force worldwide I by 2,700 employees, including i about 20 in Austin. Most of TI's cutbacks have been In areas which do not affect Austin operations.
