Baby elephants becoming acclimated
to new home in Texas wildlife park
United Press international
GRAND PRAIRIE — Thirty-three baby African elephants who
faced certain death from overpopulation in their homeland are thriving
in Texas’ extremely hot summer.
A spokesman for International Wildlife Park reported the elephants
were “doing fine — they're acclimating quite well.”
“This is the largest group of African elephants found outside Africa,”
he said. Asked how the baby elephants were doing in Texas’ intense
summer heat, the spokesman said: “Fine. The temperature is compa
rable to South Africa.”
The elephants, ranging in age from one to four, are confined to an
“elephant section” about 400 foet long and 500 feet wide.
Eventually, some of them will be shipped to zoos around the nation.
The elephants made the long and arduous journey to Texas —
planned for months with exacting precision — from Kruger National
Park in South Africa.
African elephants are listed on the United States’ endangered spe
cies list because many of them are being killed in Africa by poachers
wanting their ivory or by man’s encroachment on their natural habi
tats.
The Kruger National Park, however, had an overabundance of
elephants and scientists determined their population had to be re
duced.
“If relocation were not possible,” the spokesman said, “they would
cull or kill off enough of the elephants to enable the remaining elephant
herd to coexist with the animals and the land they all occupy at the
park.”
The parent organization of the Texas animal park, International
Animal Exchange Inc., arranged to transport the elephants to Grand
Prairie. The elephants underwent a special two-month acclimation
to Durban, South Africa.
The animals made the long trip to Houston by ship, then were slowly
trucked to Grand Prairie — a 10-hour drive because the trucks stopped
every three hours to water and care for the young elephants.

AUSTIN — District Attorney Ronald Earle has
indicated he will subpoena Comptroller Bob Bullock
to testify before the Travis County grand jury about
typewriter tapes taken from Bullock’s office that may
have been used to conduct private business.
Earle, responding to accusations Tuesday by Bul
lock that the district attorney had lied to the grand
jury about an FBI report on the typewriter ribbons,
said Bullock has repeatedly tried to influence the
presentation of the case to the grand jury through
public and private means.
“He will know when it’s going to the grand jury
when he gets his subpoena,” Earle said.
At least two previous grand juries have investi
gated the allegations against Bullock, and one issued
a report sharply critical of the comptroller. But neith
er grand jury returned any indictments against Bul
lock or his employees.
Bullock accused Earle Tuesday of lying to the
Travis County grand jury about his investigation of
Bullock’s office and called Earle’s conduct unforgive-
able.
Bullock said he has confirmation that the FBI
almost a year ago sent Earle transcripts of typewriter
tapes taken from the comptroller’s office by two for
mer employees who contended former deputy com
ptroller Ralph Wayne was using state personnel and
equipment to conduct private business.
Bullock said Earle has contended for almost two
years that the FBI analysis of the typewriter ribbons
juclear prof
was needed to resolve allegations made against j! 16 -

Incubator maker judged negligent
Dre
Boy, 10, wins judgment r n
United Press International
AUSTIN — A Pasadena boy
blinded 10 years ago because he was
given excessive amounts of oxygen in
an incubator won a $1,173,334 judg
ment Wednesday against the manu
facturer of the incubator.
Russell Alan Spears, born eight
weeks premature and weighing only
2 pounds, 2 ounces, was placed in
the incubator immediately after his
birth and given a mixture of 32 to 40
percent oxygen for 10 days.
The high levels of oxygen caused
retrolental fibroplasia, a condition
which left him totally and perma
nently blind.
The Texas Supreme Court, with
out written comment, Wednesday
upheld the decision of lower courts
ordering Air Shields Inc. and South-
more Hospital and Clinic Inc. to pay
the b oy and his mother the
$1,173,334 in damages.
Sherry Spears filed suit against Air
Shields, the hospital and two doctors
on behalf of her son, but later settled
out of court with the doctors for
$100,000.
A jury ruled Air Shields was negli
gent in failing to warn the doctors
and hospital staff of the hazards of
long-term use of high levels of ox
ygen through the incubator, that the
hospital was negligent in not estab
lishing policies against such use, and
that the doctors were negligent for
prescribing the oxygen.
The judge in the case dismissed
the portion of the judgment dealing
with the doctors, however, because
they had settled out of court.
In another case, the Supreme
Court went along with a civil appeals
court decision ordering a new trial on
a suit filed by survivors of a man who
died of bums and inhalation injuries
he received while a prisoner in the
Denton city jail.
Jerry Forbus was arrested in 1975
on “suspicion of lunacy”; he set fire
to the mattress in his cell when offic
ers refused to allow him to make a
number of telephone calls.
He suffered burns in the fire and
injuries from inhalation of toxic

The Air Force already has submit
