Michael Hudson, coordina tor of People for the American Way, told a state Board of Edu cation subcommittee that the textbook adoption procedure should be opened to full public participation. Hudson said opponents of making the system more demo cratic use the “sales convention” argument because they lack a ra tional argument to broader pub lic participation. Fifty-three people signed up to testify during a public hearing on the issue that will be con tinued Sunday morning. The 13-member panel will make re commendations to the full board when it meets Friday. Board chairman Joe Kelly Butler of Houston called for the hearings to review board rules on textbook selection, especially those in which only critics of texts are allowed to testify at adoption proceedings. Opponents of the present process, such as Hudson, say the system gives undue influence to book critics, such as Mel and Norma Gabler of Longview. The Gablers, strict fun damentalists, have virtually monopolized the hearings for 21 years, gaining national atten tion and influence in the pro cess. Sen. Ray Farabee of Wichita Falls has filed a bill that would allow supporters of a book to speak during the annual tex tbook hearings. Fludson rejected arguments which claimed a change in the rules would encourage pub lishers to recruit citizens to help sell their books before the board. Under the present system, publishers can hire citizens to support their books or to attack their competitor’s books. Pub lishers don’t use citizens this way, he said, because they risk losing millions in sales if caught. Lawyer says “marked” client may be doomed 1 United Press International ' AUSTIN — The attorney of !bnvicted racketeer and drug I nuggler Samuel Anthony . ammarata said his client may e dead before the case ever imes up for appeal. “He’s a marked man,” said torney Thano Dameris, refer- ng to Cammarata’s role as a avernment informant against rganized crime figures. The flamboyant Houston ight dub owner and former ;deral informant was convicted [racketeering and drug smug- ling by a jury, Friday. Cammarata, 54, faces a max- num sentence of 45 years in tison. U.S., District Judge James owlin refused the defense tomeys’ request that Gammar- a be released pending an ipeal. Federal agents testified that ammarata informed them of rrorist activities, international ms trafficking and assassina- m plots against foreign aders. Cammarata was indicted in ?bruary 1982 with 11 other ;ople. He was charged with :ing the kingpin of a ring of ug traffickers involved in Aanese assassination plots, ethamphetamine labs in the ucatan, Colombian cocaine tnd six murders. During closing arguments, prosecutors told the jury that I'Cammarata was creating a graveyard in Brazoria County for people who got in his way.” Defense attorneys claimed Cammarata was being rail roaded by the government for uncovering sensitive informa tion. They said Cammarata de- vulged details of a drug smug gling ring with connections to Lebanese, Libyan and Mexican officials with bases in Canada, Mexico, Greece, the Middle East and Houston. FBI agents also testified that Cammarata told them about a veiled threat by an aide of Li byan Moammar Khadafy to kill President Reagan and about Li byan and Syrian government payments of $500,000 to Billy Carter in 1980.
