said. “Any individual found in
the facility that’s judged to be
unsafe will be charged with
violating the fire marshal’s
order, arrested and taken tojail.
“We can do it, and we have
sheriff s deputies to help us. The
sheriffs department will be pro
viding additional deputies as
well as a couple of paddy
wagons,” he said.
Lawson said anyone who
complies with the order will be
allowed to stay.
“There may be some that
have these camp trailers, or van
or vehicle or something like that
that would technically be all
right,” Lawson said.
State Rep. Tony Polumbo, D-
Houston, said he would be glad
to see the camp go because it is
inaccurately perceived as a
haven for the jobless. Many of
the residents actually have taken
handouts but turned down jobs,
he said.
But Hank Sprouse, a mem
ber of Baytown First Presbyte
rian Church who has befriended
the campers, said, “The majority
of these people are good people
who have gotten some bad pub

Dallas residents fight
plans to burn wastes
United Press International
DALLAS -—General Portland
Inc.’s plan to burn hazardous
wastes could send fumes from
the “most potent man-made tox
in presently known” into down
town Dallas, a former officer of
the U.S. Environmental Protec
tion Agency said Wednesday.
Deborah Speak, who left the
EPA’s Dallas regional hazardous
waste section in 1981, claimed
that the use of hazardous wastes
for kiln fuel in the company’s
cement plant could release
polychlorinated biphenyls, a
suspected carcinogen, and the
potent toxin 2,3,7,8 - tetrachlor-
odibenzo-p-dioxin, into the

She said Oak Cliff and west
Dallas residents would be im

vironmental problems stem

although prevailing winds from
the southwest could endanger
downtown office workers.
Officials of the Texas Air
Control Board-said they will call
a public hearing on the plan to
burn the waste in the Oak Cliff
section south of downtown as
soon as they get a written re
quest from state Rep. Steve
Wolens of Dallas. Wolens has re
quested a hearing.
Jim Morriss, attorney for
General Portland, said that no
traces of TCDD or PCBs were
found at a General Portland
plant burning hazardous wastes
in California, and that company
officials believe production of
