investigation by the Hillsboro department and an independent state investigation cleared the officer involved of any wrongdoing Wyse said A spokesman for the Justice Department said the department receives from 10000 to 12000 requests for federal investigations every year Each is reviewed carefully he said "In only about one-third of the cases do facts warrant an FBI investigation" spokesman John Wilson said "The results of that investigation if civil rights are violated and the law has been broken go immediately to a federal grand jury" Bonilla said the two incidents are only part of a pattern of abuse against Hispanic's and other minorities that has developed under the Reagan administration "It is the concern of the LULAC national officials that the new administration's retreat on civil rights creates a climate that enforces negativism toward Hispanics and other minorities" Bonilla said tie cited two recent cases in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas as other examples of abuse In one two Grand Prairie youths charged that they were beaten by police officers who arrested them in September on charges of possession of alcoholic beverages and public intoxication In another a Dallas man was pronounced dead Friday at Baylor Medical Center after police said he was found unconscious in his cell at Dallas County Jail minutes after his arrest and that lifesaving efforts by police and paramedics failed Officers began chasing Leal when they saw a suspect assault a woman in a parked car police said Dr Marc Krouse Tarrant County deputy medical examiner said last week that an autopsy he conducted the day after Leal's death showed no evidence of police brutality Bonilla who made no specific charges of civil or legal rights violations in the case said he was not aware of the extent of the medical examiner's investigation into Leal's death He said an independent investigation is needed even if an internal police investigation is made "While we do not condone any alleged unlawful acts of the victims we do not feel the police officers should be the judge and the jury in these cases" Bonilla said "If an investigation by a federal grand jury reveals there was no wrongdoing at least it would be an indication that the administration and the Justice Department are committed to taking whatever action is necessary to stop these abuses" In the Hillsboro case police said Urbina was arrested on charges of discharging a firearm within city limits On the way to the police station Urbina fired five shots at the officer who made the arrest and the officer returned the fire Sgt Tom Wyse said He said Urbina was dead at the scene Bonilla said Wednesday that LULAC has a witness who saw Urbina handcuffed before he was placed in the car By AMY RINARD Star-Telegram Writer DALLAS The leader of a national Hispanic organization has called for federal investigations into the deaths of two men including a Fort Worth resident who died in police custody this fall Corpus Christi attorney Tony Bonilla national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens said he sent a letter Tuesday to Washington asking that the Justice Department investigate the death of 17-year-old Cruz Leal Jr who collapsed and died Dec 12 after Fort Worth police chased him for five blocks in connection with an attempted rape Bonilla said he also requested that US Assistant Attorney General William Bradford Reynolds ask that a federal grand jury be empaneled to hear testimony about the incident LULAC asked last week for a similar investigation into the death of Ramon Urbina 36 of Hillsboro who police said died Oct 16 in an exchange of gunfire with a Hillsboro officer "It appears that the Hispanic community will have a bloodstained Christmas in the Northern District of Texas" Bonilla said referring to what he termed violations of civil and legal rights in the incidents Fort Worth police are conducting an internal review of Leal's arrest and death but have not issued a report yet Police said Leal collapsed at the police station 85 Rm535 1Pli 4 1 Y0 1 -1 1 0 to i '1'-- '2---4- 1 -1 -z n1 'x 4 11-n 1 41-11- -i nee ----11r7 0 --v-kp 0 0 1 A-42---mr 'me 11-- ---70 I WI

go Christmas shopping and to take her son to see the movie Cinderalla for his birthday Rose said detectives believe that at about 11:15 am the killer armed with a handgun ordered the woman and child out of the car forced them ta crawl over a barbed-wire fence walk to a wooded area of the field and then lie down and investigators found no signs of a struggle sheriff's Capt Gus Rose said: Investigators who said they have no motive and no suspects said they believe the woman who was divorced and her son were shot about 30 minutes before the bodies were found Robbery was ruled out as a possible motive because none of the woman's jewelry had been taken from her purse and other items in the car were not disturbed Rose said the trunk of the car was filled with Christmas presents and clothing Ms Reyes' supervisor at Continental Insurance DALLAS (AP) A gunman forced a woman and her small son to lay down in a wooded field southeast of Dallas and then shot both of them to death

she believes the board should have a say in how long each prisoner's supervision lasts At present the board has no such authority "In some cases I think it (the term of supervision) could be shortened" Ms Jackson said "I think the other board members are in agreement with me on this" In the writ filed in the Curley case Ms Dauphi not and Burns claim the state is guilty of "double sentencing" Returning Curley to prison the writ states "constitutes an additional sentence on top of that legally imposed at the time of trial" Curley is being forced to "serve his sentence in

was relieved and delighted after Tuesday's Texas Department of Water Resources Board vote because of fears that rising sewage water and brisk northerly winds could cause the city's dikes to collapse The meeting had been set up earlier after the city's request to discharge effluent into the draw The commission's order allows Midland to discharge about 168million gallons of effluent down the draw during a 14-day period to relieve pressure on the city's holding ponds and reduce the danger City officials had expressed concern that the 18 overlapping ponds were approaching their 250-million
