Chiles, a Fort Worth oilman,
is owner of the Western Com
pany as well as the Texas Ran
gers baseball team.
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

a taxpayer made last year. The
next line demanded “Send it in,”

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.”

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
