If applause was any indica tion, both audiences were defi nitely Chiles’ fans. His less- government-is-better speeches drew distinct approval from people who apparently had known what they would hear be fore they came. Chiles is a Republican party member who avidly supports the American free enterprise system. He said his rise to suc cess from humble rural begin nings is one indication that the American system works. Chiles achieved notoriety in state-wide radio broadcasts where he voiced his strong opin ions. His “I’m mad” broadcasts spurred bumper stickers with the logo “I’m mad too, Eddie" seen on cars throughout the state. Chiles warned that the United States was headed toward the so cialism that has claimed some of its neighbors. Listing Canada and Great Britain as examples, Chiles urged that the trend should be stopped. Joking that he had seen the latest tax form. Chiles said that one line asked how much money a taxpayer made last year. The next line demanded “Send it in,” he said. The huge national del cause of great concern to: ture of this country, Chi “Exxon is the largesttn lion in the world andthei profit was only $125 bi! said. “That means thtt! have to save all their pro! 100 years to pay off thh try’s national debt."

Lake water rejected by three Texas towns United Press International HUNTSVILLE —Officials in three towns kept their cities’ wa ter supplies from Lake Living ston cut off today as a precau tion because of the threatened poisoning of the lake. Huntsville, Livingston and the Westwood Shores commun ity switched to well water Tues day after a man phoned the Trinity River Authority and said he had contaminated the 90,000 acre lake in East Texas. “It’s something you can’t take a chance on,” said Grady Manis, assistant regional manager for the river authority. He said officials considered the call a hoax because it would take huge amounts of contami nants to affect the drinking wa ter from so large a lake. But be cause the cities had readily avail able Well water, they stopped lake water intake. “The caller alleged that waste materials including poisons were to be dumped into the lake,” Manis said. “We immedi ately closed the intake structures on the Huntsville and Living ston water supply systems and ceased to withdraw the water from Lake Livingston immedi ately after receiving the call.” in which 53 water svsteiE threatened and a quanc| lion people went withouti ter for a short time checks of those systems Traces of cyanide wi in the Hammond, La.

The authority conducted ex tensive testing of the water, par ticularly around the three intake systems for the cities. Results will not be known for two days, Man is said. The call follows a run of hoaxes in Louisiana last month “We have had simi situations in Louisiana las recently, and it’s we can’t take a chance said. Huntsville, 25,000, was switched from eight wells. Two toxic substances found in Houston area United Press International AUSTIN — Residents of a Houston suburb must wait until summer to learn if the discovery of toxic substances there was an isolated occurrence of the che micals or part of a widely spread pollution. The Texas Air Control Board reported Thursday that traces of two toxic substances were detected in grass samples from the lawm of a home in Deer Park. Some residents there have complained of a strange skin ail ment. Steve Spaw of the board said the substances, chlorinated di- benzodioxins (CDDs) and chlor inated dibenzofurans (CDFs), are considerably less toxic than the dioxin found in Times Beach, Mo. No evidence of diox in was found in Deer Park. But Spaw warned that resi dents would have to wait until summer before the complete battery of air, soil and grass sam ples is completed and analyzed. Rep. Ed Watson, D-Deer Park, requested the samples, taken from October 1981 through January 1982, after 60 or 70 residents complained of skin rashes that appeared as bleeding under the skin. “The doctors couldn’t find out what it (skin disorder) was,” said Watson. “No one could find out what was causing it. “This could be the tip of the iceberg, but at the same time it could be nothing more than an isolated incidence.” Watson said studies ii that die levels of CDDsft Deer Park, home ofa rochemical complex, 1 be found in fireplace,oi r"*S, and muffler particles The report, said Sp reconfirmed the present! fungicide chlorothalon! sites in Deer Parkandan sites in La Porte and City.
