Catalytic converters have been required on all new cars since 1975 to re duce emissions in the exhaust. But, they can be damaged by the use of leaded gasoline and normally become less effective after long use. The air board will use Tues day’s testimony in drawing up a new state implementation plan for achieving the ozone stan dard in this area by the 1987 deadline. Texas court OKs 1-year paternity suit ^ limit; law changed sses lain i.-Fri, 8-5 >criptionsF® ffc United Press International AUSTIN — The Texas Sup reme Court, following a decision earlier this month by the U.S. Si/preme Court, Tuesday ruled unconstitutional a one-year sta- HLEGE STAKi ut £ of limitations on paternity . „ , gsuits in Texas. >t Oak >n.-Sat, iiKM I The court decision arises from a case filed in 1979, and the Legislature in 1981 changed the statute of limitations on such suits. Now paternity suits must be|hled within four years of the birth of the child, rather than wiilhin one year as required under the previous Texas law. ■The one-year statute of limi tations was challenged in a suit filed by Brenda Miller of Wichi- XAS St Di^ticai Since 1935. . Main-Si 822-2823 iK==x: J.R. STUDIOS ta Falls against Joel S. Maness, alleging that he was the father of her child. Miller’s child was born May 21, 1978, and a trial court ruled she waited too long to file the paternity suit. But the Fort Worth Court of Civil Appeals reversed that decision, and ruled the one-year statute of limitations unconstitutional. The Texas Supreme Court withheld action on the case until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a similar Texas case on April 5. The court opinion declares the one-year statute of limita tions unconstitutional, but does not rule on the validity of the new four-year statute of limita tions. 14 BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS IN LIVING COLOR 2 - 8 X 10’S 2 - 5 x 7’s 10 - WALLETS flit MS # m ONLY $12.95 plus tax $1.95 Deposit - Balance on delivery NO AGE LIMIT • ADULTS/GROUPS WELCOME NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE NO LIMIT ON NUMBER OF PACKAGES MANOR EAST MALL BRYAN, TEXAS MAY 3rd - 8th TUESDAY - SATURDAY 10 A.M. - 8 P.M.
