It is doubtful the original sex par lor attracted more paying customers in its colorful history than its musical comedy namesake. What Texans and the rest of the nation have come to realize via the New York, Houston and national touring productions of the play is that even in its forced closing, the Chicken Ranch lives. Likewise, the Tower Theater production of “Whorehouse survives to play another day as a second touring com pany already booked for six months from Florida to Nevada. The Texas production is a success story paralleled only by the con tinued demand for tickets to the ori ginal version of “Whorehouse” at the 46th Street Theatre on Broadway. Hardly anyone thought legitimate theater could stage a 12-month pro duction in Houston and attract more than 380,000 customers. Today, hardly anyone doubts “Whore house” could play to full houses inde finitely. The decision to bring the show to Texas in the first place and now to hit the road belong solely to Stevie Phil lips, its producer. “Nobody could have talked me out of it (a Houston production), but most tried,” Phillips said. “They assured me it would run no more than three weeks.

TX 78759 An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/H- Intel Official ices hockey sign Burning sites needed for chemical disposal United Press International NEW YORK — It was just a friendly message to the neighbors, said the firefighters. But the higher- ups were not amused, and Engine Company 39 had to take down its hockey sign Saturday. The firehouse night crew was so inspired by the U.S. Olympic hock ey team’s victory over the Soviet squad Friday night that they grab bed a bedsheet and red paint, and created a sign announcing: “U.S. 4, Russians 3.” United Press International DALLAS— Government, indus try and the public are eager to find a safe way to destroy polychlorinated biphenyls (RGBs), but the search has taken far longer than anyone antici pated. A 1979 EPA directive known as the May 31st Regulation banned the manufacture, processing, distribu tion and use of PCBs — highly toxic chemicals identified as a cause of cancer — other than in totally en closed containers. The regulation also stipulated as of Bill Gunter, leader of the EPA’s PCBs regulations team in Washing ton, D.C., blamed the current stale mate on the waste disposal industry’s sparse interest in PCB incineration and stiff local opposition to proposed plants. The sheet was proudly draped on the front of the unit’s office — which just happens to face the Russian mis sion to the United Nations across the street. “They are our neighbors,” said a fireman who refused to give his name. “It just seemed like a good idea to acknowledge the fact that we won. ” The people directly across the street had no comment. “This morning there was a boss around. He thought before there was any controversy we should take it down,’ the fireman-turned- signpainter said. Jan. 1, 1980, PCBs have to be des troyed by incineration at extremely high temperatures instead of simply being trucked to specially monitored landfills the EPA earlier approved. EPA officials figured the seven- month interval between the regula tion’s issuance and the anti-dumping clause would provide plenty of time for private industry to develop PCB incineration programs approved by environmental officials. It didn’t. There are no commercial waste disposal plants in the country authorized to burn PCBs, a compo nent of oils and lubricants produced in the 1940s and 1950s. Energy Systems Co., a waste dis posal firm in El Dorado, Ark., is the closest to receiving EPA authoriza tion to burn PCBs. Analysis of a test burn completed in October is incomplete. EPA Southwest regional administrator Adlene Harrison said if the test bum was successful, ENSCO still has to fulfill other EPA directives before it gets authorization to bum. Gunter said EPA officials are aware of the problems created by the dumping ban and may cancel it until 30 days after the first incinerator is operating. Siamese twins stable for separation United Press International HOUSTON — No new medical problems arose for critically ill tiny Siamese twins Ivette and Ivonne Morales during the weekend, mak ing separation surgery more likely early this week, a hospital official said Sunday. “Surgery is becoming more of a possibility,” said Texas Children’s Hospital administrator Pat Kiley. “There’s been nothing we’ve seen that has been a problem.” Kiley said the condition of the 21- day-old twins, who are joined at the chest, had not changed.
