AUSTIN — Arguments that
the opening of Texas’ textbook
selection process would turn
book selection hearings into
sales conventions for publishers
are invalid, the spokesman for
an anti-censorship group said
Saturday.
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.
