THE BATTALION MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1981 Page 7 Chemical dump plans approved United Press International PHILADELPHIA — Plans for the country’s first chemical waste in cinerator, where PCB (polychlora- neted biphenyl) will be destroyed, have been approved by the U. S. En vironmental Protection Agency for construction in Deer Park, Texas. The Rollins Environmental Ser vices Co. of Deer Park may begin incinerating PCB as soon as March 4 under the terms of its authorization, EPA Regional Administrator Jack J. Schramm said. The disposal of hazardous wastes including PCB has remained an un answered question for many com munities where the chemicals have polluted water supplies and have been blamed for increased rates of cancer. Schramm said, “We’re optimistic that this is only the start of the tech nological advances that will help us solve the enormous problem of hazardous waste disposal.’’ In test burns prior to federal approval for the plan, Rollins de monstrated the incineration was almost 100 percent effective in des troying PCB’s. EPA officials esti mate that 20 million pounds of the possible cancer-causing PCB’s are in storage awaiting safe destruction. ARE YOU AN ACTIVE, INVOLVED AG WITH A 3.25 GPR & 75 CREDIT HOUR?

One of his legislative liaisons, Hilary Doran, said the gov ernor probably wanted a com promise. Doran said the governor is going to allow the Senate to past the 6.8 percent salary increase, and perhaps find a compromise in the House. “The governor is still exploring some common ground and com promise,’’ he said. “We re hoping to get some accomodation in the House. Speaker Bill Clayton and other legislative leaders met with the gov ernor last week and Clayton indi cated that Clements agreed to sup port a compromise 5.1 percent emergency pay raise. Rep. Terral Smith, R-Austin, also said he would amend a bill he had filed to comform with the governor’s 5.1 percent compromise. “I just had a feeling that 3.4 per cent was too low,” said Smith, a freshman representative. “I think the governor will go for 5.1 percent. ” However, Doggett said he was not willing to compromise. “I think 6.8 percent is already a compromise,” he said. “The data is there to support 6.8 percent.” Doggett said he can prove that the state employees need much more than 6.8 percent. He said he selected a figure low enough that was “mean ingful and realistic,” and that Cle ments could sign. the perfect place for a quiet Sunday evening of dining open 5-12 p.m. Sunday and the perfect place for happy hour 4:30-6:30 p.m. monday-friday Coupons void after Nov. 30 _ woodstone commerce center on hwy. 30 United Press International a LIBERTY — The wife of former *as House Speaker Price Daniel lias been charged with murder Released on $50,000 in the shoot- death of her husband, ickie Daniel, 33, appeared Hand in control when she surren- red at the Liberty County Jail ;ti- turdayabout 5:30 p.m., said Sher- BuckEckols.
