FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1979
Court says
‘no dice’
to good deal
United Press International
SHERWOOD, Ore. — A Sher
wood man allegedly gave renters a
pretty good deal at $250 a month on a
two-bedroom, one-bath home sitting
on a halfacre site on the outskirts of
Portland.
The only problem, the Washing
ton County District Court charged
Wednesday, is that Stephen Galen
Shears, 31, didn’t own the house.
The court Wednesday issued an ar
rest warrant for Shears, charging him
with first-degree theft.
The court is charging that Shears
“rented” the home — which he had
originally rented from a Texas
woman — to five different sets of
prospective tenants. In each case,
according to the allegations, he col
lected $600 from the tenant for the
first and last month’s rent, plus
cleaning deposits.
Washington County sheriffs Lt.
John Valery said the home’s true
owner, Margaret Merriam of Dallas
didn’t know about the deal.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas —
Federal officials said Thursday a sea
sonal current shift has begun that
could help keep additional oil from
the runaway Mexican Ixtoc I well
from further fouling South Texas
beaches.
“Scientists believe the present
southerly current flow up to 20 miles
offshore is reducing washups and
scientists expect to see lighter daily
concentrations,” said Roger Meach-
am, an Environmental Protection
Agency spokesman at oil slick re
sponse headquarters.
“Scientists believe the annual shift
of currents has begun through mid-
October and they do not expect them
(currents) to shift back to northerly
until March.”
However, Coast Guard Petty Offi
cer Larry Clark said it was too early
to tell whether a tropical disturbance
the National Weather Service re
ported in Mexico’s Bay of Campeche
would have any effect on movement
of the world’s largest oil slick.
“We re aware of the clouds build
ing (in the Bay of Campeche), ” Clark
said. “But as yet there has been no
special forecast. We’ve had one
(tropical disturbance) come up that
way and it didn’t do much except
drive some oil offshore and clean up
some sheen.”
Aircraft flying along the coast
Thursday reported “no major con
centrations of oil off Texas Beaches, ”
although one patch of mousse, a
thick oil-water emulsion, was spot
ted the day before floating 135 miles
south of Brownsville. Meacham said
the Mexicans were applying disper
sants to the oil patch in an effort to
break it up before it moved into U. S.
waters.
Clark said a Coast Guard team
from Galveston took photographs
and samples of oil which washed
ashore near Freeport, but that the
pollution was believed to be “tanker
washings” not connected to the Mex
ican oil spill. Scientists have said
they anticipate none of the Mexican
oil to travel further north than Gal
veston before the seasonal current
changes push it southward away
from Texas.
Meacham said studies showed less
than 5 percent of the oil reaching
U.S. waters was floating below the
surface “and do not believe that the
impact is significant.”
Until now, a response team of fed
eral, state and local agencies has
spent about $3.5 million cleaning up
high-use resort beaches as waves of
oil and tarballs came ashore, but
have allowed the tarry substance to
collect on more remote areas of the
barrier islands.
Cleanup also was begun Tim
to remove heavy concentraty

against the south jetty at ties

HOUSTON — A physician who
testified against the Texas Depart
ment of Corrections in a prison re
form suit has been placed on profes
sional probation by the state medical
regulatory board.
Dr. Luke Nigliazzo was also strip
ped of authority to prescribe con
trolled drugs and was ordered to
undergo health and mental exam
inations, Justice Department lawyer
Gail Littlefield revealed at the trial
Wednesday.
Nigliazzo’s experience with the
Texas Board of Medical Examiners,
since testifying against TDC, was
disclosed in cross-examination of Dr.
Ralph Gray, director of TDC health
services, who contradicted Nigliaz
zo’s testimony.
Nigliazzo, who is still employed by
TDC, testified that the nation’s most
populous prison system provij
“poor medical care by unqualL
medical personnel or disintere-'# ‘ one bloo:
personnel who weren’t dedicatawh ere the L
