Bill Clements said Thursday Attorney General Mark White should stop talking about suits against SEDCO in con nection with a Mexican oil spill and take the issue to court if he thinks the Texas-based drilling firm is re sponsible for the spill. Clements, at his first news con ference in more than a month, ac cused White, state Democratic chairman Billie Goldberg and Texas AFL-CIO President Harry Hub bard of making the spill a political issue. Clements was founder and former chief executive officer of SEDCO. “If he thinks there is any liability on SEDCO’s part, he ought to go ahead and sue them, that is his re sponsibility,” Clements said. “It’s time to get this topic out of the polit ical arena. “If he’s going to sue somebody, go ahead and sue and get it into the courts,” he said. The governor also suggested White should stop talking about suits against Mexico for damage caused to Texas beaches by the oil spill in Campeche Bay. “I say he should stop these threats and let the issue cool. If he will do that, I feel confident that Mexico, as a good neighbor, will assist in pay ing the damages once they are as sessed. At this point, the beaches are clean and our environment has been protected. Those are facts, and I think the public is entitled to know them.” Clements met privately before his news conference with leaders of the Texas Shrimp Association, and said the shrimpers assured him the oil spill had caused no damage to the shrimp harvest and no contaminated shrimp had been found. The governor said news media reports about the oil spill on Texas beaches had scared tourists away and hurt the tourism industry. He urged reporters to file stories on “what is right down there.” Clements said a change in sea sonal Gulf of Mexico currents would help protect Texas beaches from fur ther damage by the oil spill, but said, “This could still be a very seri ous problem.” South Texas legislators have re quested that the governor ask a spe cial legislative session to appropriate $1 million for advertising to bring tourists back to the Texas coast for the winter. Clements said Thursday he may be able to find that money within the current budget, but is considering submitting it to the spe cial session if necessary. Oil in Gulf Scientist calls oilspill damage ‘ungodly mess’ United Press International GALVESTON — A marine scien tist who examined the Gulf of Mexico near history’s worst oil spill said Thursday researchers found an “ungodly mess” lingering off the Mexican coast. Don Atwood of Miami said U.S. and Mexican scientists saw Mexican fishermen harvesting shrimp near the edge of the spill and crews at the wellhead appeared to be doing little to clean up the spill, concentrating instead on capping the 4-month-old blowout. “I can tell you it’s an ungodly mess down there,” Atwood said after returning from a three-week research voyage. Atwood said 50 to 100 shrimpboats were seen working the area. He described the Bay of Cam peche as “an ecological mess” but said it was impossible for scientists to estimate the long-term effects on marine life. “There were not a lot of dead or ganisms floating in the water,” said John Farrington, another of the sci entists who participated in the $1.5 million expedition. Atwood said porpoises and flying fish were abundant in portions of the bay but were absent from the spill area. He said scientists did not know whether the marine life had died or evacuated the area. Atwood estimated the size of the flame at the wellhead to be an acre, but admitted the research team had no idea how much oil was flowing from the well and was dependent Mayor’s son is arrested again . ..

Main 1917 United Press International DALLAS — The 23-year-old son of Mayor Robert Folsom spent sev eral hours in jail and faces drunken driving charges. It is the second time since 1976 that Dallas police have charged John Vest Folsom III with a crime. Folsom’s latest encounter with Dallas police came early Wednes day following a traffic accident in volving his new automobile on a city freeway. Folsom was arrested and charged with driving while intoxi cated after police said they found him near his wrecked car on the side of the freeway. The report by patrol officer Robert Nelson said Folsom’s car struck a guardrail, knocking down a 60-foot section. The officer’s report said Folsom took a breath test de signed to detect alcohol but the re sults could not be released. Folsom was booked at the city jail at 4 a.m. and released two hours later on a writ of habeus corpus is sued by County Criminal Judge Tom Price. A medical attendant at the jail examined the mayor’s son 9 OUT OF 10 PUPPIES PREFER THE BATTALION irnistied SERVICES ;ies I room if 11 ' jaid exdi Villa W ^ t/illa «— All Chrysler Corp.

John Robinson, chief scientist for the U.S. oilspill response team, said the Texas coast had been saved from greater washup of oil by the three- week-early reversal of the south- to-north summer currents. “Right now there’s a very strong current pushing to the south, an ex tremely strong current” moving mil lions of gallons of oil out of U.S. waters and onto beaches in Mexico, Robinson said. “We got it right at the right time. We had sizable quantities of oil offshore. Three million gallons had already hit the Texas beach. Then we got the reversal and it hit the Mexican beach.” Robinson said Texas beaches had been washed “essentially very clean” by the season’s tropical storms, but one result was more oil settling on the Gulf floor. He said scientists were unsure exactly how far offshore or how deeply the ocean floor had been covered. Robinson also said the Laguna Madre, the richest of the bays be hind Texas’ barrier islands and a major breeding and feeding ground for shrimp and migratory birds, had suffered little penetration of oil. Robinson said computer projections showed if the oil well was capped in early October, all of the oil still in the water would wash ashore in Mexico by December. State briefs Merger of treasurer, auditor ruled illegal United Press International AUSTIN — Attorney General Mark White ruled Thursday that Tarrant County cannot abolish the treasurer s office. State Treasurer Warren G. Harding requested the opinion after the Legislature passed a bill calling for a Nov. 6 election to decide whether to consolidate the treasurer’s office with the auditor s office. If the merger is approved the treasurer’s office would cease to exist. But White said the county treasurer’s position is a constitutional office and cannot be abolished without constitutional authorization. UH regent receives new term AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements said Thursday he has given Mack H. Hannah of Houston a new term on the University of Houston Board of Regents. The governor’s office earlier had announced Hannah had been replaced on the board, but Clements said Thursday Hannah was given a new six-year term to replace Mrs. Gus Wortham. The governor also announced several other appointments: —Guy James Gray Jr. of Jasper to be criminal district attorney of Jasper County. — Railroad Commissioner Mack Wallace to a two-year term on the Texas Mining Council. —Walter C. McFarland of Austin to the Crime and Narcotics Advi sory Commission. —The Rev. E. Stanley Branch of Houston to the Texas Board of Licensure for Nursing Home Administrators. —Aton Finney of Fort Worth and Doris Frazier of Dallas to the State Board of Barber Examiners. —Hugh Rushing Jr. of Austin to the Texas Board of irrigators. Clements rejects increased parole recom mendations AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements said Thursday the Board of Par dons and Paroles has sharply increased number of prison inmates it is recommending for parole. The governor said his office is rejecting many of the parole recom mendations, and is taking steps to slow down the pace of recom mendations for release. “If we followed their recommendations, the prison population would be reduced by 50 percent and we would have on the street 12,000 new parolees,” Clements said. “This is ridiculous. There is somebody in there who has the wrong idea about the parole system.” and determined he did not have to be hospitalized. A police spokesman said the young Folsom probably would be billed by the state highway depart ment for $400 damage to the guar drail as the result of the accident. Police records show the mayor’s son was charged with possession of marijuana in 1976 after he and a companion were arrested for public intoxication after their car ran off a road and stopped in a field. The case was settled when Fol som paid a $150 fine and was sen tenced to 30 days in jail. The term was probated for six months. UT prof to head nuclear hearings United Press International HOBBS, N.M. — The Depart ment of Energy has named a Uni versity of Texas law professor to be chairman of a three-member panel in hearings next week on the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in southeastern New Mexico. Robert W. Hamilton, who was chairman of an Atomic Energy Commission hearing in Richland, Wash., in 1974, will head the hear ings on the proposed underground nuclear waste disposal site. The first hearing is scheduled Monday in Odessa. Texas may pursue oil damages in court United Press International AUSTIN — Attorney General Mark White says the state is ready to prove oil that washed up on Texas beaches came from a still- uncapped Mexican well. PEMEX indicated that it would pay for some damages if positive evidence could be provided that it was Mexican oil that washed ashore along the Texas coast. “We are prepared to prove in court with clear-cut and overwhelm ing evidence that it was Mexican oil that washed up on our beaches,” White said Wednesday. “I think the news is encouraging, since I have felt all along that those people responsible for the oil spill should be the ones to pay for it,” he said. Despite the new developments. White said his office still would pursue litigation against SEDCO, the drilling company founded by Gov. Bill Clements .
