Censorship also takes place at all government levels and through civil suits and public pressure, he said. “We have parents going into stores suggesting the removal of certain books from the shelves with the implied threat of boycott,” Lillienstein said. Some states have “minors ac cess” laws that wind up prohibit ing access to books “clearly pro tected by the First Amend ment,” Lillienstein said. ABA executive director G. Roysce Smith said in some towns booksellers feel reluctant to sell certain children’s books to chil dren without their parents’ per mission. In Jackson, Miss., “Any citizen for the price of a $500 bond can go to the sheriff and say that such-and-such at such- and-such store is dirty and shouldn’t be sold and the sheriff can seize that inventory,” Smith said. Byrd’s doctors say sheriff had stroke United Press International DALLAS — Two doctors who examined Dallas County Sheriff Don Byrd have testified before a grand jury that the sheriff suf fered a mild stroke before his car crashed into a signal light post, according to sources quoted in the Dallas Morning News Monday. Psychiatrist Dr. James P. Grigson and Byrd’s personal physician, internist Dr. Maynard F. Ewton, testified last Friday that they believed a stroke caused the accident, according to the Morning News. Byrd and Grigson declined comment, and Ewton could not be reached, the Morning News reported. Byrd said April 26 he had suffered a stroke immediately before the accident. The grand jury is reportedly investigating the possibility of misdemeanor drunk driving charges in the April 17 incident. The Morning News quoted sources as saying the panel had been given medical reports indi cating Byrd has been admitted to Presbyterian Hospital with a blood alcohol level of 0.193, nearly twice the legal limit of in toxication. Byrd has said he had two glas ses of wine at a dinner theater before the crash and denies he was intoxicated.

United Press International AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White Monday signed into law a bill to reform the operation of the Public Utility Commission — a measure the governor described would ensure that Texans will pay the lowest possible utility bills. Flanked by legislative spon sors and the three members of the PUC appointed by White, the governor said the new law was the “most progressive bill” concerning regulation of utili ties in the nation. “This will create the atmos phere for the best regulation of public utilities in the country,” White said. “If we’d had this bill in place four years ago, or be fore that, we wouldn’t be paying the high utility bills we’re paying right now.” The PUC bill will abolish the automatic fuel adjustment clause on utility bills, which allowed power companies to avoid hearings and pass directly through to consumers the costs of acquiring fuel. It also will limit the costs passed to consum ers of construction work in progress and creates an office of public counsel to represent rate payers at hearings. The new law will not, howev er, bring about one of White’s foremost goals of the legislative session — the election of PUC members. That proposal failed to win the support of the House and Senate during the legislative session. PUC Chairman Al Erwin said the bill will “create the frame work for the best regulatory body in the country.” T ^L’.TT THEATPrS “JtHAlNED ^AT” <ft) “BLME THUNDER” 2:J0-4:»-7:2M:«5 ' *^^^*^*i 1*1'*1.•'.■■■! ■* ■' \ Dan Ayfcmytf as A “DR.

In Idaho, bookstores can be enjoined from selling books for a year if they sell books that violate local statutes, Smith said. Similar laws have been passed but ruled unconstitutional in six other states. Donald Laing, ABA director and a bookseller from Boulder, Colo., said censorship is the anti thesis of book production and sales. The public should decide through book sales what it con siders to be obscene or moral, he said. “The ethics of bookselling ought to be based on giving the public what it wants. If you real ly believe in the First Amend ment, that’s what it would be. It should not be up to the booksel ler or the community to limit the selection of books or ideas,” he said. .,.^ i , v iiSfPSWPsP . j«Z!IWW@Ull CsO'. 51A FLAVORS LACn DAY V DGMTELNJ DirrLRENT TOPPINGS TO_CHOOSE PROM.
