Books rejected,
publisher claims
libel, slander
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — The
Economy Co., a publisher whose
seventh and eighth grade readers
were unanimously rejected for use
in Texas schools, filed a $30 million
libel and slander suit Tuesday
against three women who had at
tacked the books.
Named as defendants in the state
district court suit were Mrs. Billy C.
Hutcheson of Fort Worth, Linda
Eichblatt of Clar Lake City and
Mrs. R. C. Bearden Jr. of San
Angelo. '
The company’s petition said the
women’s opposition to the books be
fore the State Board of Education)
Nov. 8 caused the failure of the vol
umes to win adoption. This, the firm
said, caused not only a loss in sales
but also damage to The Economy
Co.’s national reputation.
Mrs. Hutcheson, speaking for
herself, and Mrs. Bearden, repres
enting the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, contended mainly
that the books contained too much
violence and crime. Ms. Eichblatt,
speaking for a feminist group, ag
reed and also said the books were
“sexist. ”
Earlier, the books had been re
commended by the State Textbook
Committee, a group of 15 educators
appointed by the State Board of
Education to screen proposed texts.
The petition says the three
women “demonstrated their own
racism, bigotry, sexism, prejudice
and provincialism by attacking spec
ifically and directly selections writ
ten both by and about members of
racial minority groups.’’
It alleges the defendants “were
motivated by malice and deliber
ately made false statements which
were intended to and did arouse
public opinion to the extent that the
elected members of the State Board
of Education succumbed to the
pressure’’ and rejected the books.
Court snubs plea

AUSTIN (AP) — State District
Court Judge Jim Myers rejected a

State Rep. Ray Hutchison of Dal
las, spoke at a Political Forum prog
ram and took a swipe at the new
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) rules. He said they would
sound a temporary death knell for
the construction industry in Texas.
The solon from District 33Q de
fended his resistance of so-called
“citizen’s suit’ environmental legis
lation last session. Hutchison said,
the next one or two sessions of the
Texas Legislature will be a “period
of philosophical challenge. ’’
Hutchison said, the proposed
EPA “indirect source rules’ that go
into effect Jan. 1 do not have a wide
enough scope. The rules require a
permit from the EPA before con
struction of any project by any
group (public or private) that would
draw as many as 1,000 cars.
“This is the first time the federal
bureaucracy in this country has
gone so far as to assume they can tell
you how many people can go to a
new church, a football game in a
new stadium or can drive on a new
street,’ Hutchison said.
The rules will give a death blow to
construction in Texas, at least tem
porarily, he said.
In defending his opposition to
citizen suits, he said it was the same
philosophy — that one person could
play havoc with a whole economy
just to get at one source ol pollution.
The law as it read would allow any
one person to sue alleged polluters
without regard for the overall
economic impact of the area or
whether the party were even guilty
as a polluter or not, said Hutchison.
Education and constitutional re .
vision will be two other major are^
of philosophical challenge in (L
next session, he said.
Hutchison, voted one ofthet 0 p
10 state legislators by the Texas Ofc.
server, defended the constitution
drawn up by the legislators as a “fine
product” and he commented fie
would like the legislature to finisl
the job.
He called for reason and com.
promise in establishing a list ofpro.
tective environmental laws.
