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

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.
