Harriet Berne, 37, was listed in critical condition and undergoing tests Tuesday night to determine whether she suffered brain dam age when she took an overdose of prescription medicine earlier in the day. Berne, who was using the name Judy King, was taken to North- shore Hospital where doctors tre ated her before she was taken by helicopter to Hermann Hospital. “There’s no way of knowing what she took,’’ Dr. Charles Owens of Northshore Hospital said. “There was evidently a lot of medication around the house. ’’ Just hours before Houston Fire Department paramedics disco vered Berne unconscious and in respiratory arrest, a family court judge Bruce Wettman ordered her two sons, Scott, 11, and Mark, 7, be returned to their father. Dale Berne. Berne charged his former wife stole the boys and turned them against him after moving to Texas in November. Berne sat stunned after hearing Wettman s ruling. She hugged a friend and hurried from the cour troom, making no comment to re porters as she left. The two boys burst into tears when they found out they were being returned to their father. Scott said, “Why don’t you let us be with our mom? We asked her to take us.’’ A fire department spokesman said the paramedics who took Berne to Northshore did not find a suicide note. Berne, who was to have started teaching in the Houston Indepen dent School District this week, was free on $5,000 bond and facing extradition to New York.

According to Nugent, the ex pected decontrol of gas prices in 1985 will only affect about 60 per cent of U.S. natural gas. Under current plans for decontrol, Nu gent said, the majority of the con trolled, low-price gas will go to interstate customers. cause they will be subsidizin;s costs to consumers in otherstili particularly the Northeast,” awa gent said.

Irmothe Complicating the situation, Nugent said, are federal regula tions that increase the price and limit the availability of gas pro duced in the state to intrastate consumers. “Unless the. NGPA (Natural Gas Policy Act) is changed, 1985 will usher in a new era of unequal prices and unequal access to new supplies,” Nugent said, “and the Texas consumer will bear the brunt of the inequities. ” “It has to do with the cost and availability of natural gas, and with the looming spectre of Texans liv ing in the midst of rich gas fields,” Nugent said. Nugent said Texans are unable Under the NGPA, interstate gas discovered before April 20, 1977 termed “old gas,” will sell for $1.01 a metric cubic foot in 1985. However, old intrastate gas will cost $3.29 per metric cubic foot. “If Texans are to burn Texas | newspa i Nicara where large quantities havel “ skl ie ^ s found in recent years. l doctrin ‘ kr husban Nugent said that adviserstc month, le< Railroad Commission -trelatives \ warned there is no surplus o!|ised to bi trastate gas this year and tli®i Mexici severe winter could force s States, she service curtailments.
