S. Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a lower court’s injunction against the Tyler Independent School District and says the state of Texas cannot deny public education to illegal aliens. The federal appeals court said Monday it had found that a section of the Texas Education Code and a tui tion policy adopted by the Tyler School District denied aliens equal protection under the law. Despite the economic and social Pay raise given state employees INS sued in asylum of boy, 13 problems caused by their residence in the United States, the 5th Circuit Court ruled aliens were protected by the Constitution. “This court is acutely aware that Texas is suffering from the local effects of a national problem,” wrote Judge Frank M. Johnson. “When na tional immigration laws are not or cannot be enforced, it is the states, most particularly the border states, that bear the heaviest burden. tion to aid a state to solve its political and social problems.” Texas tried to limit public educa tion to children who were within its borders legally, and the Tyler School District took the plan a step further by charging $1,000 annual tuition for each undocumented child. “However, this court cannot sus pend the operation of the Constitu- A district court held that Section 21.031 of the Education Code and the Tyler system’s policy violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. The 5th Circuit Court upheld that decision and rejected several argu ments from attorneys for the state. Attorneys contended educating illegal aliens would deprive U.S. citizens of their rights to education, damage the state economically, spread disease and encourage others to sneak into this country. The court said its responsibility was limited to interpreting the Con stitution and seeing its benefits were distributed for the greatest good, and did not include dealing with fund distribution, educational policy or public health. United Press International LUBBOCK — A waitress pulled an unconscious night clerk from the blazing lobby of a motel which sus tained an estimated $100,000 dam age in what an investigator says was arson. Denise Arnold, 23, was working in a restaurant next door to the motel Monday when she saw smoke and pulled Edwin Brian Hoople of Lub bock to safety, authorities said. Hoople, 34, was the only person injured in the early morning explo sion and fire that gutted the motel lobby. He was listed in fair condition at Lubbock General Hospital with bums on his head and the upper part of his shoulders. Officials reported a strong gaso- line-like odor coming from an office adjacent to the lobby. A 5-gallon gasoline container was found inside the small room where heavy damage was evident. The container and li quid found in it were taken to the Department of Public Safety for testing. Before that, however, fire investi gator Jim Vaughn said flatly: “It was a set fire.” Authorities said a phone W1 direct line to the motel ranzatf restaurant about 2:20a.m. Aw J SA ULT answered, but there was nore Ju^ttle 1 so she hung up. ^ American It tang again and Ar| j answered Agam there w* ^he is a ly, so she tned calling the r, W | in( could not get an answer. ^rdello.

In addition, the budget board approved proposals to increase the state’s contribution to employee in surance programs. Total cost of the proposed in creases, which at this point are only recommendations to the Legisla ture, would be $964 million for the next two budget years. TPEA has requested an emergen cy pay increase as soon as the Legisl ature convenes in January and Hughes said any emergency raise granted probably would be deducted from the 14.31 percent proposed by the LBB for fiscal 1982. Gov. Bill Clements has said he will support an emergency pay raise of 3.4 percent when the Legislature convenes but has declined to say how large a total pay increase he will back. Texas teachers also aTe seeking substantial pay increases during the next legislative session. The TPEA, which has 33,000 members, had requested pay raises totaling 28.9 percent during the next two years as the major part of its legislative program for the 1981 ses sion. The LBB recommendation is the starting point for House and Senate budget writers, and the governor will present separate budget recom mendations to the Legislature within a few weeks of the opening of the s SAFEWAY IS OPEN 24 HOURS... 7 DAYS A WEEK!

Michael and Anna Polovchak filed suit in federal court seeking a court order revoking the political asylum granted to their son, Walter, 13, last summer because, they said, it violated the parents’ right to due process. The boy, then 12, ran away from home and filed an application for asy lum July 17, about seven months af ter he emigrated from the Soviet Ukraine with his family. The youngs ter said he did not want to return to the Soviet Union with his parents, who had decided to go back. The INS granted him political asy lum, and Cook County Juvenile Court Judge Joseph C. Mooney placed Walter with foster parents pending final disposition of his case. The judge will decide Nov. 5 who will take custody of the teenager, who visits his parents weekly. An older sister, Natalie, 17, also is seeking asylum, but her parents have said she is old enough to make her own decision. The suit said the immigration ser vice granted asylum without notify ing Walter’s parents that he was seeking it, even though the family’s departure from Chicago was not im minent. Because of his age and emotional and intellecutal development, Wal ter was incapable of understanding the issues raised by his request for asylum, said the suit, which was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The parents said Director Michael Landon of the INS violated the fami ly’s privacy and due process of law by granting asylum.
