100j000 are suffering
from Love Field noise
United Press International
DALLAS — Some 100,000 resi
dents living near the controversial
Love Field airport suffer from
noise pollution which exceeds
levels people can tolerate without
interference with normal activi
ties, a city-financed study re
vealed.
The residents live in nine
neighborhoods around the airport
which is used mostly by South
west Airlines and the newly
founded Muse Air.
The study, made in May and
released Friday, said noise at the
airport was sufficient to provoke
“widespread complaints’’ and “in
dividual threats of legal action.”
The residents are subjected to
around-the-clock sound levels of
70 decibels — or 15 decibels more
than the ideal maximum noise
level set by the Environmental
Protection Agency for residential
neighborhoods, the study said.
Lori Palmer, co-chairman of the
Love Field Citizens Action Com
mittee, said the study confirmed
that the “extent and seriousness of
the noise exposure is of a magni
tude that the city must now estab
lish an effective noise control
program.” The group wants the
city council to impose a curfew on
night flights.
The EPA admits few urban
neighborhoods enjoy the max
imum 55 decibel noise level and
the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development has set
65 decibels as the level above
which it will not subsidize new
housing without the use of special
noise muffling techniques.
According to the EPA, noise of
60 decibels will provoke only spor
adic complaints but when levels
reach 70 decibels, community
reaction would intensify with
strong appeals to public officials.
The study was ordered by city
officials last spring. Nearby resi
dents have been complaining to
authorities to reduce the noise
level.
City officials warned the study
was only a preliminary step and
that the consultants would submit
their recommendations in
November.
Southwest Airlines has released
its own consultant report saying
the area affected by noise levels of
65 decibels or more had been re
duced since 1973 and would de
crease after the airline introduces
quieter jets.

asylum was rejected.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald
Fonseca filed his opposition Fri
day to a request by the 25 to get
out of the Orleans Parish Com
munity Correctional Center. Fon
seca claimed the Haitians were in
the United States illegally.
Edwin Chauvin of the Immig
ration and Naturalization Service
refused to confirm or deny that the
asylum plea had been rejected.
“The U.S. attorney has in
structed me not to discuss the case
while it is pending in court,”
Chauvin said.
The Haitians’ attorney, James
Gray III, said denial of asylum did
not affect his efforts to get them
out of jail.
“I had assumed they would
deny it, ” he said. “I don’t think it
changes the basis of the habeas
corpus suit. There’s a long process
involved. The basic question is
whether it’s in their best interest
to let them go, whether it’s in the
best interest of the government to
hold them.”
Fonseca said the State Depart
ment earlier this week recom
mended the Haitians’ request for
political asylum be rejected. He
said INS officials were in the pro
cess of notifying the 25 of the
ruling.
If the local immigration service
complies with the State Depart
ment’s recommendation, the Hai
tians will be brought before an
INS judge Sept. 14, according to
court documents.
U.S. Magistrate Marcel
Livaudais completed his report on
the motion filed by Gray to get the
Haitians out of jail and sent it on to
U.S. District Judge Morey L. Sear
for review.
Fonseca said the government
was “moving with all deliberate
speed.”
“In addition to requests of
other aliens, presently there are
approximately 2,000 Haitians who
are being detained by the United
States awaiting exclusion hearings
or deportation,” Fonseca said.
The 19 men and six women
were picked up July 16, 150 miles
south of the mouth of the Missis
sippi River. Immigration officials
ordered the oil company to take
custody of the refugees when the
ship docked in Chalmette, La.
Federal authorities took over
custody July 24, and one day later
the Haitians were transferred to
the correctional center.
Vegas trips,
Texas firm
under fire
United Press International
CONCORD, N.H. — A Texas-
based firm offering 3-day vaca
tions to Las Vegas has come under
the scrutiny of the New Hamp
shire attorney general’s office.
Attorney General Gregory
Smith said Friday the firm Pass
port to Pleasure has been promot
ing the trip, which includes hotel
accommodations, meals and a
gambling package reportedly
worth $500.
Smith said some people have
reportedly given the firm their
credit card numbers over the
phone, but then declined to buy
the trip. Later, he said, they have
been hilled for the trip.
He said there are also questions
about the quality of the hotel and
the meals offered and the availa
bility of sufficient hotel space.
Smith said the gambling pack
age is also routinely offered by the
Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce
for less than $5.
The firm is currently being in
vestigated by the Texas attorney
general’s office due to a large num
ber of complaints about its busi
ness practices. Smith said.
