MiYT.ADS Homeowners face possible suits Malathion spray deadly Blair said Monday. “I do intend to explore to find out if we can do anything other than moral support. I think it’s very important that we band together with Atlanta to do what we can about the murder of black children.” United Press International SAN JOSE, Calif. — Thirty- seven Santa Clara County resi dents who refused to allow state workers to strip fruit from their trees and spray Malathion in their yards in the battle against the Mediterranean fruit fly may be in trouble with the law. Another 50 homeowners, according to Charles Perrotta, de puty county counsel, don’t want their yards to be sprayed again with the controversial pesticide and they, too, could face a $1,000 fine or a year in jail. “If just one homeowner re fuses, the Mediterannean fruit fly could find a home and the whole effort would be lost, ” Perrotta said Monday. About 61,000 homes in the 50- square-mile zone infested by the fruit fly have been sprayed with the first of three ground applica tions of Malathion. “Most people are cooperating, ” Perrota said, “but we have a few holdouts.” Perrota’s office Monday sent out letters to nearly 100 property owners threatening legal action to those who are holding out. The strip and spray efforts are considered essential if the 10- month-old, $15 million Medfly battle is to succeed. State officials began the mas sive stripping project with work ers from the California Conserva tion Corps in hopes of avoiding aerial spraying of Malathion. The pesticide, according to a group of 59 Santa Clara County doctors, is a derivative of nerve gases used in chemical warfare and is considered very toxic. The health effects of aerial spraying of Malathion, they said, have never been tested. The doctors group. Concerned Physicians in Opposition to Aerial Spraying of Malathion, issued a private study which concludes that at least one out of every 2,800 people faces “severe risk’’ of neurological disease and death from aerial spraying. There is a 25 percent that aerial spraying will be used eradicate the pest, Jerry Scrib head of the Medfly project said t week. The state won a second, alb moot, victory in its battle wi! Texas over that state’s short-b quarantine of California prode Monday when the U S. Supre: Court blocked Texas from imp ing the controversial ban. The decision had little immes ate impact since representatm from both states had reachedas tlement Friday that included!: ing the quarantine that bejs March 1. In return for lifting the bai Texan will be appointed to l! Med-Fly Technical Commife dealing with the California infes tion problem. The U.S. 1 merit of Agriculture also agreed; 1 hold public meetings in Teas! discuss what is being done torn dicate the California problem Continental delays merger because of Texas Inti stocks United Press International HOUSTON — Continental Air lines’ board of directors, apparent ly prompted by the increasing momentum of Texas International Airlines’ drive to take control of Continental, Tuesday indefinitely postponed a stockholder vote on merger with Western Airlines. A Continental spokesman said that, although Continental still opposed the TIA takeover and had lawsuits pending to stop it, a nego tiated settlement might happen. An East Coast analyst said TIA appeared to have won, if the Civil Bill would tighten jail ‘shock’ program United Press International AUSTIN — A Senate committee approved and sent to the full Senate Tuesday a bill to tighten up the shock probation system, which sponsor Chet Brooks, D-Pasadena, says has been “a pretty shady operation” at times. Brooks’ bill would limit shock probation to nonviolent felony first offenders and would permit only the judge who sentenced the offender to grant it. Shock probation is an alternative to regular probation or serving full sentences for first offenders who “maybe they’re a little bit tough and they need to be shown the prison,” Brooks said. It can be granted by a judge at any time during.the first 120 days in prison. Shock probation came undier criticism when State District Judge Garth Bates of Houston, sentenced to eight years for bribery, was released last year after serving less than 120 days. “It was a pretty shady operation,” Brooks said. The bill limits shock probation to certain offenses, requires that the offender have pleaded guilty or no contest and have not appealed and requires the same judge who sentenced the defendant to hear the motion for shock probation. If that judge is not available, the motion must be heard by the presiding judge of the administrative judicial district. “In the Bates case, they brought in a visiting judge," Brooks said. The Senate Jurisprudence Committee reported the bill favorably by a vote of 5-1. Aeronautics Board approves ! TIA spokeswoman said only, 1i are evaluating all this.” TIA as of Tuesday had bo»D 6.6 million of Continental’s lil; milhon shares, about 44 perce. and intended to purchase at Im ! 48.5 percent in time for the Wts em merger vote scheduled Hib day. Observers said TIA appers already to have enough stod! block the merger. "Postponement of the me will allow management addil time to deal with the compi situation which has develop since Texas International Airis; announced its tender offer ft" million shares of Continentij common stock and its corns ment to vote those shares age our proposed merger,” the & tmental board said in a statenc issued in Los Angeles. Continental spokesman Juk Levine said a negotiated sett ment was possible. He said Gt tinental first wanted TIA tosjt out the details of its offer for: maining stock, presumably combination of cash or stock, already had paid $80 million fon current Continental stock mgs. TIA, a Houston-based regies carrier serving 14 states and Me ico, hoped to block the Contis tal-Western merger and prof its own consolidation with li Angeles-based Continental, i nation’s 10th largest airline. H combination would give Til long sought shortcut to trunks rier status.
