styles. Rogers, who is a fashion model for
the Hospitality Committee, was one of the
models who received hair and makeup jobs
by Liscano yesterday afternoon.

Dallas lead levels
high, tests say
United Press International
DALLAS — Independent
laboratory tests showed abnormal
ly high lead levels in the hair sam
ples of 75 Dallas residents who
live near three lead smelters.
In addition, more than half of
the people sampled had lead
levels in excess of 50 parts per mil
lion, compared to the norm of 4 to
11 ppm.
“The levels offer pretty good
evidence of elevated lead levels
(in residents) around the smel
ters,” said Dr. James C. Garriott,
chief toxicologist at the Dallas
County Institute of Forensic Sci
ences.
Dr. Robert E. Jervis, chairman
of research for the University of
Toronto, said: “Even if you sample
100 people, even in one of them,
you should not expect anything
above 50 ppm. If you do, it’s a sign
of some contamination. ”
Jervis said hair lead levels in
excess of 100 ppm are a signal that
a person should seek medical aid.
The most contaminated hair
sample was that of a 13-year-old
girl living near the RSR Corp. lead
smelter. The federally approved
laboratory results revealed the
lead level in her hair was 246 ppm
— more than 22 times the level
established as a norm for the Dal
las area, the newspaper reported.
Her mother said the 5-foot-2,
58-pound girl suffers from loss of
appetite, vomiting, headaches,
irritability, arm pains and be
havioral changes — all symptoms
of lead contamination, according
to numerous studies.
Among other findings:
— The average for all samples
was 68 ppm, compared to the
norm of 4-11 ppm.
— Elevated levels of cancer-
causing cadmium — as high as
10.4 ppm — were found in 65 resi
dents. The laboratory established
an average cadmium level for Dal
las residents of 0.3 to 1.1 ppm.
— More than half of those
tested had high calcium levels in
their hair.
The U.S. Environmental Pro
tection Agency and the Dallas En
vironmental Services Department
discovered high levels of lead in
the soil of some residences, play
grounds and other locations near
the three smelters. Lead levels
were as high as 90 times the levels
some medical experts say can re
sult in adverse health effects, in
cluding brain damage in children.
More than 10,000 residents
who live within a 2-mile radius of
the smelters have been tested in a
city-sponsored blood testing prog
ram. Initial results have shown ab
out one percent are suffering from
lead toxicity.
In addition, the Baylor College
of Dentistry is analyzing the teeth
of children who live near the smel
ters, a test considered perhaps the
most accurate indicator of the
body’s lead content.

Bullock: Alcohol
was a problem
God.”
He said his recent treatment
at the Care Manor Hospital in
Orange, Calif., had been effec
tive and described his doctor,
Jospeh Pursch, as the world’s
leading authority on alco
holism.
Bullock, a Democrat who has
held his post since 1974, said he
assumed his drinking would be
come an issue in his re-election
bid, but would not comment
until he felt more fully reco
vered.
Bullock then reeled off a list
of politicians and actors, rang
ing from Betty Ford to the late
John Wayne, that had been tre
ated for the same problem by
Pursch.
“I went wanting his help and
seeking his help, knowing I
couldn’t do it myself,” he said.
“I had tried and I couldn’t do it.
With alcohol I was under its
control. The slave had become
the master and I wanted free of
it.”

AUSTIN — State Comptrol
ler Bob Bullock, notorious for
his wise-cracks to the press and
controversial behavior, says he
was an alcoholic and that the
issue would be raised in his re-
election campaign.
But he said he has no apolo-
gies.
“I am glad to say they told me
I am not a manic-depressant,”
Bullock said in a news confer
ence Sunday. “I’m just Bob Bul
lock. I feel good, I feel good
inside.
“It’s not particulary easy for
me to sit here before you and
admit to you I am an alcoholic
— but I am an alcoholic. I disco
vered that some time ago when,
frankly, my life became rather
unmanageable.
“I discovered it at a time
when my alibis were exhausted.
I found it out at a time when I
knew I needed help both spir
itually and physically. I re
ceived my spiritual help from
