Cloudy Cloudy Louisiana crawfish play nasty i i I trick on farmers in Spam P5 7 9 J. ill behest of the Ministry of Agriculture and entrepreneurs eager to cultivate them in poorer regions. At the time, Spain's native crawfish a scarce and slow-growing species that survives in clear, fast-running water was dying out from pollution. The indigenous crawfish, which at 2-inches-long is half the size of the Louisiana version, is a delicacy to some rural folk but never became a major market item. Its American cousin, on the other hand, thrived after being introduced in the southwestern region of Extremadura, and even generated a little revenue in the nation's seafood markets.

But it too never really caught on. In any case, it was too late the crawfish already were doing their damage to the country's fields. Catalonia called the Louisiana crawfish a plague in July, and told the Department of Agriculture to use all means to destroy them. Already, farmers have tried to gas them, with no luck, and are now using insecticides. To American chef Paul Prudhomme, a crawfish affi-cionado who helped popularize Louisiana cuisine across America, such news is almost sacrilege.

His New Orleans restaurant, K-Paul's, serves crawfish 200-300 ways. "It's spectacular to eat," Prudhomme told The Associated Press in a telephone interview, than lobster, because it's a crustacean in the same family, but it's from sweet water, so it's much tenderer and it's an absolutely delightful thing to cook." That was the idea when Louisiana crawfish known in its native land as "mudbugs" came to Spain 25 years ago at the By RICHARD SCHWEID Associated Press Writer DELTEBRE, Spain (AP) -The Louisiana crawfish was imported here with the hope it would prove a gastronomic success. But the spiny creatures have played a nasty trick: Instead of nestling beside beds of rice on Spanish plates, they are chewing up the country's rice fields. In the northeastern Ebro River Delta, the fast-breeding visitors have been declared crustaceans non grata. "I don't know exactly where Louisiana is, but I wish the people there would come and take them back," said Juan Tiron, a rice farmer from this tiny town near the eastern city of Tortosa.

"People say they're good to eat, but I've never tried one," said Tiron, one of hundreds of rice farmers who tend 10 to 20 acre plots in the region. The regional government of Farmer Juan Tiron drives his tractor through a field in Spain's northeastern Ebro River Delta in October. The Louisiana crawfish was imported to the area in the hope it would prove a gastronomic success, but the spiny creatures are chewing up the country's rice fields instead. Tiron says he wishes people in Louisiana would come and take the crustaceans back. (AP) Catholic bishops retain 6 holy days that they attend Mass on holy days.

"People are not taking the obligation seriously," said Bishop Michael Kenny of Juneau, Alaska. But other bishops, including a bloc of the nation's most prominent prelates, argued that reducing the number of holy days would be surrendering to an increasingly secular American lifestyle. "We need to retain these few signs of Catholic identity," said Archbishop Anthony J. Bevilac-qua of Philadelphia. On the third day of their four-day fall meeting, the bishops also rejected proposed norms on lay preaching that would have allowed Catholics who are not members of the clergy but who have "special expertise" to preach at liturgies.

By DAVID BRIGGS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. Roman Catholic bishops Wednesday rejected proposals to drop four of the church's six holy days of obligation in an emotional debate over the role of the church in the modern world. A majority of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to move Ascension Thursday to a Sunday and eliminate the holy day honoring Mary on Jan. 1, but fell short of the two-thirds approval needed for the changes. Backers of the plan to reduce the number of holy days failed to gain even a majority to drop All Saints Day on Nov.

1 or the solemnity of the Assumption on Aug. 15 despite arguing that nearly 14 million regular churchgoers already disregard the requirement -I' King ICoil "luCJIi lug Stow ma tm mm sir ceieuot KING KOIL CHIROPRACTOR SERTA IMPERIAL REST The bishops' debate on holy days revolved around whether Catholics should have a grave moral obligation to attend Mass other than on Sundays in an age when demanding work and family commitments have led many to stay away. About a quarter of the nation's 55 million Catholics attend most holy day services while about half the Catholic population attends Mass on Sunday, church officials say. "Is it prudent to burden the consciences of our people?" asked Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco.

"It seems to me it would be better not to burden the consciences of our people." But several prelates, including the cardinals of New York, Washington and Boston, argued that the holy days remain a powerful symbol of faith for those who observe them. And the sight of Catholics walking from their offices to midday Mass in a downtown church on holy days shows that others are struggling to live up to the demands of their faith, said Cardinal James Hickey of Washington. "I submit that we need a spiritual alarm clock. I beg us not to throw away the alarm clocks," he said. But Auxiliary Bishop Wilton Gregory of Chicago, the Liturgy Committee chairman, said in an earlier interview that the issue will not go away regardless of the bishops' action.
