CORPUS CHRISTI — The na-
ional president of the League of
Jnited Latin American Citizens
omertiefl uesday called on Texas Education
Commissioner Alton O. Bowen to
ize for remarks he made
londay about bilingual education.
Attorney Ruben Bonilla said
owen ought to resign if he does not
pologize to Hispanic students for
aying language and cultural
aintenance should be a function of
he home, family and community
nd not the schools.
“I can understand if it (bilingual
ducation) comes under attack from
jarents and novice community
eaders,” Bonilla said, “but for it to
ome under attack and criticism
rom the State Education Commis-
[ioner of Texas is a disgrace to the
oncept of of equal educational op-
lortunity in the State of Texas. ”
Bowen told 4,000 Texas school
idministrators at their San Antonio
onvention Monday that the state’s
bilingual education programs were

The commissioner received only
scattered applause during the

classmates. It makes it more difficult
for existing bilingual education pro
grams to function smoothly and ef
fectively.’
He said LULAC would continue
to back legislation expanding biling
ual education from the third grade
to the sixth grade, a bill which
passed the state Senate last session
but never reached the floor in the
House of Representatives.

HOUSTON — Less stringent
ater pollution control standards
ould afford Americans a cost sav
ings to help fight the energy crisis
nd inflation without impeding
|ong-term goals for cleaning up the
ation’s waterways, the president of
he Water Pollution Control Feder-
ition contends.
Martin Lang, former water and
lewer commissioner of New York
ity, said Monday the
nvironmental Protection Agency’s
dministration of the 1972 clean
ater act has been “simplistic.”
“This energy crisis should compel
vision of EPA’s administration of
he clean water act, which has
rgely been a simplistic fiat for a
miformly high degree of treatment
iverywhere,” Lang said.
I Lang said federal officials have
■begun to recognize that some waste
■accumulations and some receiving
■rivers, lakes and oceans do not re-
■quire high-energy, high-cost
■facilities for pre-disposal cleanup of
■wastewater.
■ “Restraint has been imposed on
■EPA to deter the proliferation of
J "energy-intensive, expensive, ad
vanced waste treatment facilities,
■selected apparently with no regard
for the needs of the receiving
stream,” Lang said.
1 “I confidently believe a reasoned
■move toward cost-effective treat-
■ment austerely tailored to the real
■needs of the receiving waters will
■literally save billions of dollars over
■the useful life of these facilities.”
I Lang said his organization always
■ doubted the wisdom of Congress’
■ declaration in 1972 that American
■waterways could be cleaned up
■ completely by 1985. Lang said a
■ more realistic goal remains the year
j 2000.

FORT WORTH — T. Cullen
Davis, accused of trying to ar
range the murder of his divorce
judge, Tuesday testified he con
sented to recording coversations
with David McCrory only be
cause he thought he was helping
thwart a plot to kill him.
Davis said he thought
McCrory, who helped the FBI
set up Davis murder soliciation
arrest, was acting as a go-
between with hitmen hired by
his estranged wife Priscilla.
Davis said McCrory told him he’d
“call off the contract on me,
Davis said. “The second part was
them (the non-existent hitmen)
to come testify for me (in his di
vorce) if I would pay them more
money.’
Davis said he reported the
meetings with McCrory and was
told “You just keep cooperating
with David and we ll get back in
touch with you. ’’
On Aug. 20, 1978, the day of
his arrest in a restaurant parking
lot, FBI agents following Davis
said he made several turns as
though he were trying to elude
trailing vehicles.
Davis testified he was merely
being careful because he was car
rying $25,000 that McCrory had
won in Las Vegas. Prosecutors
maintain the money was for pay
ing a hitman the millionaire had
hired to kill Judge Joe Eidson.
FBI pictures of the Davis-
McCrory parking lot meeting
showed Davis cautiously peering
into a parked van, which con
tained FBI video taping equip
ment. Davis said he first thought
the van belonged to a friend.
“My next thought was that it
might be the FBI. ” he testified.
