Reagan’s election called
catalyst for censorship
United Press International
DALLAS — Conservative
groups believe President
Reagan’s election gave them a
mandate to increase their book-
banning and censorship activi
ties, says Maxwell Lillienstein,
counsel for the American Book
sellers Association.
“It’s not due to anything the
president has done overtly,” Lil
lienstein said Sunday at an ABA
convention seminar, “but many
of the groups that supported his
election now feel they have been
given a mandate, and their acti
vities are taking many forms.”
Lillienstein said political cen
sorship is on the rise and most of
the activity has been generated
by two conservative groups,
Moral Majority and Citizens for
Decency and Law, which publish
lists of book that are to be dis
couraged and support “specialty
stores” that do not offer those
works.
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.”

“It is not yet clear what hap
pens after that,” he said.
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.
