Judge fails to order busing
United Press International
DALLAS — A federal judge is
refusing to order additional busing
in the nation’s eighth largest
school district, agreeing there is
racial imbalance but saying mass
busing won’t solve the problem.
Rather than order more busing,
U.S. District Judge Barefoot San
ders ordered the Dallas Indepen
dent School District, the NAACP
and the various intervenors in the
11-year-old case to submit briefs
on how the district’s schools can
be improved.
Al Lipscomb, a black activist
and one of the original plaintiffs,
expressed his disapproval soon af
ter the ruling came down. “We’re
just back again, dragging our
feet,’’ he said.
However, Dallas School Supt.

Linus Wright said: “I feel very
good about it. I think the judge has
been very compassionate in
addressing all the district’s
needs.”
Wright said parents and chil
dren of all races should be relieved
no further busing was ordered.
The case dates from 1970 when
Eddie Mitchell Tasby, the
NAACP and others filed a suit
against the school district to end
one-race schools. A number of
minor rulings, additional motions,
appeals, intervenors and even a
new judge have kept the case in
court for more than a decade.
Before Sanders, Judge William
Taylor Jr. had managed the case.
But March 13 the NAACP asked
Taylor to “rescue himself’ by re
moving himself from the case be
cause of his connections “in Dal
las’ business community.”
The NAACP motion claimed
that Taylor’s “past conduct raised
sufficient concern that neither we
nor the public could be assured
that this court could rule impar
tially on matters still in dispute
and conflict in this case.”
When the motion was first filed
officials of the district called it a
stalling tactic, but March 20
Taylor removed himself from the
case and Sanders took over.
The NAACP and others
appealed a desegregation plan
Taylor had approved in 1976.
They charged that the feasibility of
busing as a tool to eliminate one-
race schools had not been studied.
In 1978 the circuit court agreed
with them. Sanders’ decision eli
minates only the most controver
sial technique: busing.
In the 100-page ruling he re
viewed the testimony and found
busing “is not a feasible remedy
for the existing constitutional
violation.” Throughout his opin
ion Sanders referred to the Black
Coalition to Maximize Education
whose minority membership
opposes busing.

V(
longer than abstainer
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A 10-year study of more
than 8,000 people in California found those who
had two or less drinks a day had lower death rates
than abstainers.
But the death rate was significantly higher for
those who had six or more drinks of alcohol a day.
“For most of the American adult population,
which already uses no more than two drinks per
day, the current evidence is reassuring,” said Dr.
Arthur L. Klatsky and colleagues of the Kaiser-
Permanente Medical Center at Oakland, Calif.
The findings, reported in the August issue of
the magazine Archives of Internal Medicine re
leased Monday, reinforce other research indicat
ing moderate alcohol consumption may have a
protective effect against heart disease.
The researchers warned, however, the dangers
of substantial alcohol consumption are obvious.
“Is it safer to take small amounts of alcohol than
to abstain entirely?” they asked. "The answer is
clearly ‘no’ for a person who may not be able to
control his or her drinking. ”
Four groups of people enrolled in the Kaiser-
Permanente health plan were examined-^
who did not drink, those who had twoji
drinks a day, those who had three tofivei

LONG BEACH, Calif. — A
beer keg connected to a high-
pressure gas cylinder exploded at
a college fraternity house, killing a
25-year-old student.
Police say Robert Harris and
other members of Sigma Pi frater
nity hooked up the 20-gallon keg
Sunday to a carbon dioxide cylin
der designed for soft-drink dis
pensers.
The cylinder was pressurized at
75 pounds per square inch but the
keg was designed for only 12
pounds pressure and it exploded
like a rocket, embedding itself in
the ceiling of the fraternity house
at the University of California at
Long Beach.
Harris, who suffered a broken
arm and internal injuries, died at a
hospital 2V2 hours after the acci
dent.

WASHINGTON — Doctors
are disappointed by the seizure
that struck White House press
secretary James Brady Monday
morning, but they say such a vio
lent convulsion was not unex
pected.
Brady, 40, in his 18th week of
hospitalization since being shot in
the forehead March 30 during the
assassination attempt on Presi
dent Reagan, was resting Tuesday
with the help of greater doses of
anti-seizure medication.
Monday morning just after
breakfast, Brady was shaken by a
grand mal seizure, characterized
by often violent, uncontrollable
muscle twitching and thrashing.
Such seizures are commonly
regarded as symptomatic of
epilepsy, but a doctor told UPI it
did not necessarily mean Brady
was epileptic. Such a seizure
could be the result of a “brain
scar” or injury to the brain similar
to Brady’s.
The White House press secret
ary has undergone three life
saving operations, including
emergency surgery the day of the
shooting in which 20 percent of
the right side of his brain was re
moved.
