Tourism big business
MEXICO CITY ? Tourists flocked to Mexico in
nnmunH ?nf>nf mnrp than over before
during the first six months of this year, despite the
summer fuel crisis in the United States and sharply
higher vacation prices in this sunny southern neighbor.

? mostly Americans ? came to Mexico from January
to June, a 14 percent increase over the same six
months of 1978.
They spent $708 million, or an average $33.56 a day,
which represents a 25 percent increase over the year
before.

the Cuban leader, saying her brother "is a monster and
must be overthrown."

Juanita Castro said Friday as about. 3,000 demonstrators
rallied near the United Nations, but with the
ultra-tight security around her brother, she had little
chance of doing that.
Miss Castro. 46, worked with Castro as a guerrilla in
the anti-Batista underground of the late 1950s, but
turned against him in 1960 "because he betrayed the
revolution.

Pot leading crop
.V\nii\ ll,i,? Marijuana, aumuriues say,
is Tennessee's fifth largest cash crop and could grow in
importance.
Mike Dover, chief pilot for the Tennessee Highway
Patrol, said Thursday he and his three pilots have
found marijuana crops valued at more than $20 million
this year, and the harvest season is just starting.
That puts marijuana behind the state's $37 million
corn crop and ahead of its $14 million wheat crop,
based on 1978 figures compiled by the Tennessee Crop
Reporting Service.

to save the black rhinoceros and four other rhino
species it said are in danger of becoming extinct.
Poachers are killing Kenya's black rhinoceros to
supply the market for rhino horn, and the animal may
become extinct in 1980, said a spokesman.
Powdered horn is sold in the Far East as a so-called
all-curing medicine and as an aphrodisiac.

Friday that states adopt legislation making it unlawful
to keep wild animals as pets because they are potential
sources of rabies.

wild pets, another seven have legislation under consideration
and about a dozen have passed limited
prohibitions, said Dr. E.F. Baker, a veterinary
epidemiologist with the National Center for Disease
Control.
Pet skunks with confirmed cases of rabies have been
reported in the last two years in Oregon, Oklahoma,
Montana, Indiana and Arizona, the report said.

Hyman convicted
CHARLKSTON ? A iurv began life or death
deliberations Friday afternoon in the sentencing of
William Gibbs Hyman, convicted of murder and armed
robbery in the slaying of an elderly Ravenel man.
The jury declared Hyman, 31, guilty on Thursday.
South Carolina law requires a two-stage trial when a
person is convicted of murder. Solicitor Capers Barr II
asked the jurors to give Hyman the death penalty.
"Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. It's as basic
as you can get," the prosecutor said in his final
arguments.
The jury determined that Hyman committed the

Hyman's wife, Doris, still must stand trial on murder
and armed robbery charges. Barr has said he will seek
to have her electrocuted, also.
Prince considers Citadel
CHARLESTON ? Prince Abdullah, the eldest son of
King Hussein of Jordan, said he is considering attending
The Citadel.
Abdullah, a student at Massachusetts' Deerfield
Academy, visited The Citadel Friday and said his
father would like him to enroll there after his
graduation from prep school next year.
The 18-year-old prince said all Jordanian men are
required to do military duty. Two years of study at The
Citadel will make him eligible for an officer's com
mission, he said.
Bond backs Kennedy
WALTERBORO ? Black voters should throw their
support behind Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts if
he decides to seek the presidency next year, Georgia
state Sen. Julian Bond said Friday night.
In an address before the annual convention of the
state NAACP, Bond hinted that President Carter has
failed to serve black interests since his election.
Although he didn't mention Carter by name, Bond
cautioned South Carolina blacks not to repeat "the
mistake of 1976 that saw us voting for a man who knew
the words to our hymns, but not the numbers on our
paychecks."
