National/State
Texas firms get EPA warning
United Press International
DALLAS — The Environmental Protection
Agency has warned seven Texas companies that
new rules effective Jan. 1 might subject them to
large penalties for failure to comply with pollution
control limits.
One official said the penalties could total mil
lions of dollars. The penalties, under the new
rules, would equal the amount of money com
panies save by not installing equipment needed to
meet federal air standards.
The new rules are part of 1977 amendments to
the Clean Air Act. Supporters of the new strategy
said it would remove financial incentive from fai
lure to comply with air pollution restrictions.
The EPA adopted the new rules of applying the
law July 28 and the rules take effect Jan. 1. The
“informational” letters went out several weeks
ago and officials said several companies already
have responded.
Carl Edlund, regional EPA air enforcement
chief, said records show 22 Texas firms could face
non-compliance penalties, but he said the first
letters went to “the largest sources with the
longest record of violation.”
He said 15 other firms in other states in the
five-state EPA Dallas region also received letters.
The Texas firms receiving the letters included
Armco Steel Corp. in Houston, Gulf Chemical &
Metallurgical Corp. in Texas City, the Temple
Eastex wood processing plant in Diboll, the
American Smelting & Refining Co. plant in El
Paso, Lone Star Steel Co. at Lone Star and two
west Texas mineral processors, Southern Clay
Products at Allamore and Milwhite Inc. at Van
Horn.
Hoax victim strips down, strolls
through mall hoping to win prizi
United Press International
OKLAHOMA CITY — A man
posing as a disc jockey on a local radio
station telephoned a woman, who
figuring the promised prizes were
worth the embarrassment, stripped
down to her underwear and walked
through a shopping mall.
The unidentified woman, wearing
only bra and panties and pushing a
stroller with a baby in it, was stopped
by a security guard Monday as she
walked through the mall.
Police said the woman was the vic
tim of a hoax.
The woman had been told by a
male caller posing as a disc jockey
that if she would wear only her
underwear while walking through
the shopping mall, she would win a
$16,000-a year job at
$10,000 in cash, a car, am;
and $1,000 for each ofhertlj
officers said.

Suit trying
religion
in schools
United Press International
LUBBOCK— Defense and plain
tiff s attorneys in a school prayer law
suit filed by a civil liberties group
spent the first day of testimony
arguing whether school board policy
invited religious activity.
Thomas Griffith, attorney for the
Lubbock Civil Liberties Union
which brought the federal lawsuit
against the school system, tried to
prove officials encouraged certain re
ligious activities in the schools.
Attorney Tom Johnson, mean
while, argued that religious ac
tivities were not promoted by the
schools and that any volations of
students’ rights occurred without
the board’s approval.
Among the witnesses at the pro
ceedings Monday was Max O’Ban-
ion, Coronado High School princip
al, who testified about several inci
dents that prompted protests from
some students.
O’Banion said some students ob
jected to an October 1979 perform
ance by a musical group called Sweet
Comfort Band. He said a statement
by the group and one song contained
religious references.
Griffith told presiding U.S. Dis
trict Judge Halbert Woodward that
his questions to O’Banion were de
signed to elicit responses that would
prove the school board “invited reli
gious programs” into the schools.
The school system's policy states
the board “adheres to the principle
of freedom of religion as expressed in
the Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution of Texas. ”
But, asked by Griffith if principals
“were encouraged to think the board
would back them up” if religious acti
vities were presented, O’Banion said
O’Banion said a morning devo
tional discontinued for several years
was resumed at his high school,
largely at the students’ request.
Johnson introduced issues of the
school newspaper hoping to show
the devotional was begun anew at
the students’ initiative.
A Unitarian minister, meanwhile,
testified a study of religious activities
conducted in Lubbock schools
showed an emphasis on Christianity,
especially evangelical Christianity,
even though students of other faiths
attend the schools.
The school system has asked the
court to deny the plaintiffs declara
tory or injunctive relief, because the
religious policy now has been
altered.
Third-World
economies
hurt women
United Press International
LUBBOCK — Despite their in
creased responsibility in developing
nations, women take a back seat to
men in programs designed to in
crease productivity and employ
ment, says a third world specialist.
Dr. Nadia Youssef of the Interna
tional Center for Research on
Women, located in Washington,
D.C., said women make up a large
percentage of the agricultural work
force in developing nations but their
roles are not reflected in surveys.
She spoke during the opening ses
sion of a two-day conference at Texas
Tech University on “Challenges In
volving Women in Developing Na
tions.”
She said the directors of assistance
programs in developing nations need
to be aware of women’s roles in those
countries and the way assistance
programs affect the women’s lives.
Perhaps ironically, development
programs can have disastrous effects
on women, she said. When agricul
tural technology is increased, for ex
ample, many women lose their jobs
to automation and mechanization.
Often those results are not reflected
in unemployment figures, she said.
Like their Western counterparts,
Youssef said, women in developing
nations find themselves increasingly
in the mainstream of the urban work
force, but usually in the lowest-paid
occupations. More women head
their households and an increasing
number live alone, she said.
Programs geared toward in
creased productivity and employ
ment are slanted toward men instead
of women, she said, because the
female is considered only for her re
productive function.
As a result, Youssef said, most
women are the recipients of services
and do not participate actively in the
economy.
