AUSTIN — The president of the
Texas State Teachers Association
said Wednesday President Carter
clearly has a better record in educa
tion than Ronald Reagan and the
teacher organization will support the
incumbent.
“We’re convinced that our mem
bers will make a difference in the
upcoming election,” said Dora Scott.
“And we feel certain that our legisla
tive package will get the support it
needs next year.”
Scott said TSTA also was endors
ing 109 other candidates in Texas,
but this was the first time the educa
tor group has backed a presidential
candidate.

She said the Texas Educators Poli
tical Action Committee, TSTA’s poli
tical arm, had decided to endorse
Carter in October 1979 and that de
cision was reaffirmed in September.
“Our support for the Carter-
Mondale ticket and the 109 other
candidates around Texas is a logical
outgrowth of TSTA’s longtime parti
cipation in politics,” Scott said. “We
know that political participation is
the only way to lay a foundation for
the betterment of teachers’ profes
sional lives.”
Scott also said President Carter
had kept a 1976 campaign promise to
create a cabinet-level Department of
Education, while Reagan proposes
to abolish the office if elected.
The TSTA president said the orga
nization also was pushing a four-
point legislative program for the
1981 Legislature to consider when it
convenes in January.
The program calls for a 33 percent
increase for teacher salaries, due
process and fair dismissal procedures
for public school employees, group
health insurance which would be
similar to that provided other state
employees and collective bargaining
rights for teachers.
“We feel that we are within sight
of winning on all counts, ” Scott said.
“We have these positive feelings
even though our collective baffly su PPoi
ing proposal has already beetM w '^ w o

BOSTON — Penicillin given to babies within an hour after birjbdern fan

Wednesday. ' B further
A two-year study of 18,738 infants found strong indications tW
penicillin reduces “Group B streptococcal” infections, which occult
up to three of every 1,000 live births and are fatal about 50 percentlL
the time. T> ¥7
Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Centerl*^! JZ
Dallas said they are continuing the study to determine whetherthilf

Chief Investigator Jane Siegel said penicillin reduced Group*
streptococcal infections and did not increase other diseases duringotf Unitc<

In a telephone interview, Siegel conceded the results were contn|P uct * on E

“The message that we have is that penicillin may prevent the infet|" lcia ^ s a<
tion, but it should not be used on a wide basis at present because n
have not ruled out that there is an adverse effect,” she said. ■ as Kuwi

“We certainly don’t want to trade off one disease for another, sl«
said.
Group B streptococcal infections can cause “early onset syndrome,
which can occur in the first 24 hours of an infant’s life, bringing witbi
respiratory distress or pneumonia. Babies may go into shock or de
velop meningitis.
Bacteria that are resistant to penicillin include Escherichia coli,
normally harmless bacterium that occupies the human intestines,
can, however, cause infections that are especially hard to treat i
infants. ,
Doctors were studying use of penicillin, Siegel said, because of tin
danger involved in Group B streptococcal diseases and the accidenti
discovery in 1975 that the antibiotic seemed to protect babies fromtln
infections.
