; HOUSTON (AP)—Amid what
iejudge called possible prejudicial
Imarks by a prosecutor, a Nov. 13
■ate was set Tuesday to decide if the
lj a J of David Owen Brooks, 19,
L u ld be moved from Houston.
| Brooks, the father of an
Imonth-old boy, is charged in four
|'(he 27 deaths of teen-aged youths
Iscovered in 1973 in what police
lay was a homosexual murder-
|)rture ring.
T District Court Judge William M.
fatten set the date for the change of
Ivenue hearing while recognizing
lew lawyers for the defendant.
Brooks on Monday fired Ted
llusick as his attorney because of
[lusick’s plan to plead that the
louthful defendant is presently in
ane.
The case of another defendant,
Elmer Wayne Henley, 18, was
pnsferred by flatten to San An
ionic on his own motion because of
ijpiiblicity here. Henley was found
luilty on six murder counts in San
Antonio and was given consecutive
fentences totaling 594 years.
During Tuesday’s hearing. Asst.
Dist. Atty. Don Lambright told the
judge, “I’d like to suggest a change
of venue in this case. The attendant
publicity has not been to any degree
less than the Elmer Wayne Henley
case because of the squabbling bet
ween lawyers.”
Hatten replied, “As I understand
it, if you make such a suggestion
now in open court you put the court
in a position where to not do so ,
change the venue, would be built in
error. ” /
Jim Skelton, Brooks’ new chief
lawyer, then said he could be ready
to debate a change of venue motion
on Nov. 13.
Alton Brooks, the defendant’s
father, told Judge Hatten he had
hired Skelton and Elaine Hocker to
defend his son. Previously, Musick
and, later, Mrs. Hocker, had been
appointed by the court and paid by
the state to defend Brooks.
The defendant had filed an oath
saying he was indigent and could
not afford to hire a lawyer. He with
drew the oath Tuesday.

SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Gunfire
wounded a federal narco ties agent
in one raid and fellow officers
wounded a suspect in another raid
Monday night.
Authorities said three bullets
from a .30 caliber carbine struck
Deep port
waterway
assessed
The proposed conversion of sev
eral Texas Gulf ports to handle
deep-draft ocean vessels may re
quire an enlarged intracoastal canal
system.
Doctors Wesley James and Frank
Slowey head a group of scientists
and engineers in making an en
vironmental study of the waterway
from Brownsville to Sabine.
“This preliminary assessment will
estimate the impact on the envi
ronment of operating and maintain
ing the existing waterway,” James
said. “In the initial phase of the
year-long project evaluations will be
made of the currently available
physical, chemical and biological
data along the waterway.
"About 75 per cent of all goods
shipped from Texas are transported
by water, he explained. “The in
land waterway traffic is a major por
tion of this water transportation.
“If the canal is enlarged, our
study will provide background in
formation on present conditions,”
James went on. “The enlarged canal
would hopefully be designed to pro
tect the natural coastal features and
at the same time eliminate some of
the environmental problems of the
present waterway.
“We will conduct a field study
along the entire length of the
waterway to.identfy environmental
problem areas,’ he pointed out.
“There will be continuous monitor
ing of the quality of the water for
temperature, salinity, dissolved ox
ygen and turbidity. Bottom sedi
ment samples will also be collected
and analyzed for sediment quality.
“This information will indicate
where the canal has the greatest po
tential for affecting the environ
ment, James noted. “This includes
the ability of the waterway to trans
port pollutant from one area of the
coast to another.
"Well check specific problem
areas of the coast such as selenium
in the vicinity of sulphur-mining
operation, mercury in the
Matagorda Bay area, and zinc and
cadmium in the Corpus Christi Bay
area. ”
Other members of the team are
Steve Giesler and Mike Reynolds.
