Under the textbook bill spon sored by Sen. Ray Farabee, D- Wichita Falls, both critics and supporters would have an equal chance to present their views to the textbook adoption commit tee. The committee’s member ship also would be expanded from 15 to 27. A bill identical to Farabee’s was pending in a House com mittee. “This bill represents the solu tion of the Board of Education,” said Rep. Gerald Hill, D-Austin. “This covers the possibility that one side or another will not be overrepresented. Both sides will be equally treated,” be said. In other action, the Senate approved a bill extending the statute of limitations in rape and other sexual abuse cases from three to five years. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Bob McFarland, R-Arlington, said prosecutors, were not always able to indict a rape suspect within three years. “Thisjust gives them (the pro secutors) an additional 24 months,” he said. McFarland said instances of rape are rising at an alarming rate and referred to the Dallas area as the “rape crisis center of the world.” T he bill was prompted in par ticular by a Tarrant County rape that occurred just more than three years ago. McFarland said police have a suspect but f or now the man is home free because of the three-year limitation.

The group called for in- glfased state funding of prog en wego 11 e for dec^ 1 rams to help the elderly live more independently and to help family members deal with the emotional problems of caring for a senile parent. The group sent question naires to 1,500 people employed in the fields of health services, law enforcement and social ser vices. Long-term conditions such as poverty are targeted as the primary cause of abuse, fol lowed by a desire by the abuser for personal gain (as in taking an elderly person’s Social Security check), emotional disorders in the abuser and alcohol or drug use by the abuser. The survey showed the most prominent form of abuse is self neglect, in which an isolated elderly person does not have the resources to care for himself. Financial exploitation of the elderly by relatives or acquaint ances is second, followed by ver bal and emotional abuse, physic al abuse and active neglect.
