Domestic Drug Problem Large As International Sec.1 17, 1987 days after issuing a memo that he would not treat inmates suspected of having, or diagnosed with, the deadly disease.

Brown confirmed today that Spence's suspension was directly related to the memo. In the memo to TDC dental director Dr. Theodore H. Heid, Spence said he would "not provide any dental treatment for anyone suspected of, or diagnosed with AIDS, at any time, now or in the future." Spence's memo was triggered by a request for dental treatment from one of nine Coffield Unit inmates who tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Spence has claimed both that he already has been fired and that he quit his job.

"I'm not a martyr," he said. "I didn't quit for my fellow man. I quit to save myself." TDC dentists wear gloves and masks, but still face a high risk of acquiring AIDS from patients, Spence said. "Our patients are in prison because they could not behave," he said. "They all think you're a quack because you're a prison dentist.

So you've got a patient management problem before the patient ever sits down. "You're hoping the patient will behave himself so you won't stab yourself with a contaminated instrument." Several patients have bitten him, Spence said, but none of the bites penetrated his gloves.

FOR YOUR Rudolf Hess Dies At 93 MUNICH, West Germany (UPI) Rudolf Hess, the last surviving top Nazi leader who parachuted into England on a mysterious mission in the midst of World War II, died Monday after 46 years in prison, his lawyer announced. He was 93. Hess, Adolf Hitler's former deputy, was serving a life term in four-power Spandau War Crimes Prison in Berlin.

His lawyer, Alfred Seidl, announced the death in Munich. A captive since his daring solo flight to Britain in 1941, Hess was the last of the top Nazis sent to the four-power Spandau war crimes prison in the British sector of Berlin by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. American, British, French and Soviet judges on Oct. 1, 1946, sentenced Hess to life imprisonment. But his long years in captivity began on May 10, 1941, when he parachuted into Scotland on what some historians believe was a wild attempt to make peace with Britain.

To the end he thought of himself as the deputy fuehrer of the National Socialist German Workers Party the official name of the party that came to power in Germany in 1933 and in six years began the most destructive war the world had ever known. In Munich, Seidl said he learned of the death from Hess' son, Wolf Ruediger Hess. Seidl said the son, a Munich architect, was informed of Hess's death by American authorities when he phoned them in Berlin. The Western powers that run Spandau France, Britain and the United States had been willing to grant Hess amnesty but the Soviets persistently rejected it. "I will die in Spandau," Hess told Hitler Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach when Schirach was released after serving his 20-year term.

"The Russians want it that way. They still don't believe I was trying to bring about peace when I flew to Britain." Hess was hospitalized with pneumonia for 16 days this March. He was returned to Spandau March 17. Rig Count Up In U.S. By 15 HOUSTON (AP) The number of working oil and gas rigs in the United States this week rose by 15 to 998 from the previous week, Baker Hughes announced.

Last week, the rig count rose 10 for a total of 983. California, Oklahoma and Louisiana had the most activity. California and Louisiana had increases of 10 and six rigs respectively, while the count for Oklahoma dropped by eight. A year ago, the count totaled 738, the Houston-based oil toolmaker said Monday. The rig count is considered to be the yardstick of drilling activity.

Hughes Tool which recently merged with Baker International Corp. of Orange, has kept track of the number of working rigs since 1940. A little more than a year ago, the rig count fell to 663 the lowest since Hughes began compiling figures as oil prices plunged to less than $10 per 42-gallon barrel. The count reached a peak in December 1981, the height of the oil boom, when 4,500 rigs were active. Hotel-Casino Fire Forces Evacuation RENO, Nev.

The hotel was not re-opened and will be kept closed while officials determine the cause.

Adding to law officers' concerns over booming speed labs is the knowledge that producers of the stimulant are among the most dangerous in the domestic drug world. Speed "cooks" have an affinity for exotic weapons, machine guns and explosives, one undercover DPS officer said. Police have found homemade anti-personnel devices, crude grenades and land mines among the laboratory defenses, the officer said.

An East Texas agent said officers raided one laboratory that was wired to explode with the police inside. The only thing that saved him, he said, was a malfunction in the explosive device. Tyler Man Dies, Two Hurt In Wreck A Tyler man was killed and two other East Texas men were injured in a one-vehicle accident when the car in which they were riding ran off the road and burned three miles east of Tyler on State Highway 31 this weekend, a Department of Public Safety spokesman said. The DPS spokesman said Jose Remedios Hernandes, 30, Tyler, was killed, and Eleuterio Morales Alvarez, 25, Tyler, and Armando Ramirez Lopez, 18, Longview, were injured in the accident. Hernandes was pronounced dead at the scene at 4 a.m.

Saturday by Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Bill Beaird. The accident occurred when the 1978 Monte Carlo ran off the road and turned over in a creekbed, the spokesman said. The eastbound vehicle ran off the road on the right at a high rate of speed, struck a bridge, overturned and burned. Alvarez and Lopez were taken to Medical Center. A hospital spokesman said today Alvarez was in serious but stable condition, and Lopez was in fair condition.

The accident was investigated by DPS Trooper Ken Sellers. The DPS spokesman said none of the vehicle's occupants were wearing safety belts. Hanging Death Probed By FBI HILLSBORO (UPI) The FBI is investigating the alleged hanging death of a 21-year-old black man in Hillsboro, a Hill County town 3j miles north of Waco, a spokesman said. The preliminary investigation is related to civil rights questions raised about the death of Don Price, who died Thursday at Baylor Medical Center in Waxahachie after five days in a coma, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio said Sunday. Price's father, Robert Earl Price, said that Aug.

9 he received a call that his son was in critical condition from a drug overdose at Hill County Regional Hospital. Police later told Price that his son had hanged himself in the Hillsboro jail after being arrested Saturday night in the city, where he had gone to visit his grandmother, the father said. The elder Price said police told him his son hanged himself from a 6-foot shelf. He said his son was 6-foot 1-inch tall. Hillsboro Police would not comment on why Price was arrested or how long he stayed in jail.

Price was transferred Wednesday out of the Hillsboro hospital to Baylor Medical Center in Waxahachie, his father's home town, tal officials said.

"If we stopped every ounce of marijuana, cocaine and heroin coming across the border we would still have enough (domestic drugs produced) here to keep everyone quite happy for a very long time," a federal narcotics agent said. It is a paradox that increased emphasis on international smugglers has fueled the growth of domestic producers, said Cmdr.

Mike Scott of the Texas Department of Public Safety's narcotics division. "We know what problem exists with our border with Mexico. We've put a great amount of resources along the border to try and prevent the influx of drugs of all types. Possibly because of those efforts, there has been a turn to other sources of drugs," he said. Nearly 40 percent of the total am- fihetamne and methamphetamine abs seized by federal agents nationwide in 1986 were in Texas.

Of the 395 speed labs seized, 156 were in Texas, with California's 131 in second place, a Drug Enforcement Administration report shows, Officials say the preferred areas for speed labs are rural, with most being found in Central, North and East Texas. In those areas, the odor produced during the manufacturing process doesn't attract much attention and local law enforcement is not as well trained in lab detection. At the same time, however, the producer is near metropolitan supply and distribution areas. Law officers said speed labs can be found throughout the state and the prevalence is due in part to the ease of buying chemical ingredients. Rider Scott, general counsel to Gov.

Bill Clements, said Texas became a mecca for speed producers because it allowed the unregulated sale of basic chemicals used in the manufacture of speed. But a law recently passed by the Texas Legislature has changed that, Scott said. Starting Sept. 1, people buying certain chemicals used in the manufacturing process will have to register with the state. However, the federal agent said California has had such a law and, although it has worked well, drug producers have either found new ingredients or learned to manufacture basic controlled substances from other, non-controlled, chemicals.

One pound of speed brings up to $22,000, Scott said, adding that Clyde J. Powell Rites Conducted Services for Clyde J. Powell, 72, Tyler, were to be conducted at 1 p.m today at the Lloyd James Funeral Home chapel with the Revs. Kerry Kirkwood and Melvin Sloan officiating. Burial was to be in Williams Cemetery in Smith County.

Mr. Powell died Saturday in a Tyler hospital after a sudden illness. He was born Aug. 20, 1914, in Hopkins County and had lived in Tyler since 1979. He was retired from Red Arrow Freight Lines, and was a Protestant.

He served in the U.S. Army Medical Corp. in Germany and France during World War II. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Charlsie Powell, Tyler, and a sister, Mrs.

Lillie Miles, Tyler. Pallbearers were to be Richard Sloan, Connie Miles, Larry Stephens, Jerry Teeter, j.W. Stevens and Gerald Mimmons.
