General William Westmoreland and organizer John Baines for Hill 881 the unveiling of San Antonio's Vietnam Memorial Sunday 2 p.m. live on Channel 4 this is news for San Antonio the weekend report good evening nobody said it would be easy officer Chris Blowers knew that when he decided to go into law enforcement he knew that there would come a time when he would have to depend on his training and his cool to stay alive for him that time was last night Dan Locke has his story they are trained to always be cautious and on this Friday night last April officer Butch Majecha was approaching the van just as he was trained to do as it turns out there was nothing to worry about but the cop never knows what he's getting into when he walks up beside a car this officer Chris Blowers found out last night Blowers had been called to investigate a suspicious person in this blue truck on the east side he told police officials that as he neared the driver's door a man opened the door and raised a semi-automatic rifle Blowers backed up and opened fire five shots people in the neighborhood came running out their doors one more policeman had arrived and he told him I had to shoot him he said he had to shoot the man he pulled a rifle that's exactly what he said the man in the truck was identified as William Chelmers of Lewisburg Pennsylvania as it turned out he was wanted in Pennsylvania and connection with an attempted murder and Pennsylvania wanted him extradited but he died before he even reached the hospital he handled himself especially to me after years of controversy following the shooting deaths of Michael Haskins and officer Stephen Smith this one seemed remarkably clean at least at this point it appears that this is one shooting that isn't going to end up leaving a stain on the San Antonio Police Department Dan Locke news for San Antonio a 32 year old San Antonio man traveling with a Baptist Church group was arrested early today the man was on a flight from San Antonio to Houston and that's where he was arrested authorities said the man apparently drunk was detained for threatening to blow up the plane witnesses said he made the threats when a flight attendant refused to serve him a drink and the White House still refusing comment tonight on reports that it began secret contacts with Iran 18 months ago all in an effort to free American hostages in Lebanon the reports say Iran got shipments of US military equipment through Israeli intermediaries we get more from Robin Lloyd the administration blackout on the secret effort to win the release of the hostages continue today CIA director William Casey refused to answer questions about what role he may have played in the covert program I have no comments to make I'm here to make a talk sources say White House officials decided to run this operation on their own bypassing the CIA the State Department in the Pentagon in an effort to avoid leaks in congressional scrutiny and top officials in all three departments say they're furious that they weren't consulted some outside the government questioned whether it was even legal former CIA director Stansfield Turner way the National Security Council should not be out doing operational things they're doing it because the president is skirting the law there is a law that says if the CIA were doing this it would have to inform the Congress but sources say the president decided to go ahead with a plan at the urging of National Security Advisor John Poindexter and CIA director William Casey who argued it was the only way to free the hostages the plan had already proved successful in gaining the release of Reverend Benjamin Weir it worked again with Reverend Lawrence Janko and most recently with David Jacobson the president seemed to say yesterday that the operation should continue until quote we get all the hostages back but sources involved in the covert plan told NBC News today that the publicity and controversy already have come very close to quote killing the initiative White House officials insist they've done nothing illegal but even within the administration top officials are pointing out the contradictions in US policy said one official we're now telling terrorists that they can get things from the United States and that we will deal Robin Lloyd NBC News at the White House meanwhile here at home bands floats and veterans all were assembled today for the marking of the annual Veterans Day parade veterans from World War one through the Vietnam War joined in the 40 unit procession a piece of history past and present captured by photographer Pete Coyote very important remember where we came from then we'll know where we're going we have to remember and appreciate what those brothers did for us and for our

Alabama and South Carolina but behind that frontal system very cold temperatures up in the northern plains they have blizzard conditions up in portions of North Dakota with the wind chill factor

tier of the southern states at the same time this frontal system is going to swing on to through San Antonio late tonight and by early morning it'll push on through San Antonio bring in some cooler

Baylor hosted Arkansas both teams with good records but not good enough at this point to warrant a trip to the Cotton Bowl so chances are they'll go to another bowl the Baylor Bear was moping around in the early going that's because Arkansas took a 14 to 6 lead in the second quarter Greg Thomas gets the ball to Joe Johnson who goes 38 yards for the touchdown the hogs one up with a 14 to 12 lead at halftime we moved to the fourth quarter now Bears on top 15 14 freshman Jeffrey Murray takes it in that put Baylor up 22 14 and the Razorbacks could feel the game getting out of hand a little later

weeks the Dandies have split two wins two losses it gets frustrating after a while when you keep coming up with average weeks so we're gonna switch gears and have a week to remember game one Buffalo against Pittsburgh the Bills have a new head coach they fired Hank Bullough and hired Marv Levy that should spark the team to life take the Bills and give up the one point game two Minnesota at Detroit the Vikings have lost their last two games but they're still a good team they've beaten the Bears the 49ers and last week they almost knocked off the Redskins at RFK Stadium they're one of the most improved teams in the NFL they should handle the Lions game three Houston and Cincinnati the Oilers continue to lose game after game they've dropped eight straight however this will be the week they snap the streak go with Houston in the dome and of course be sure to take the four points it's a bonus that surely can't hurt game for the Raiders against the Cowboys Dallas favored by a field goal of course the pokes are without Danny White Herschel Walker may not play same goes for Tony Dorsett that should make for a close tight contest so take the Raiders and the three points quickly
