$501,000 awarded Hf
in asbestos damages
United Press International
HOUSTON — A Houston
man has been awarded
$501,000 in damages in a suit
against 1 1 firms he said were re
sponsible for “making him an
old man before his time,” his
attorney said.
Harold Gideon, 59, sued the
1 1 firms in 1981, asking for $2.5
million in damages. The jury of
three men and three woman de
liberated less thaji three hours
before finding seven of the
firms liable for damages. The
companies were found to have
manufactured a dangerous pro
duct that injured or will injure
Gideon, said lawyer Rex Hous
ton of Henderson.
The jury awarded $500,()()()
to Gideon, who was suffering
from asbestosis, and his wife
Betty.
Named as defendants in the
case were Fibreboard Corp. of
New York; Ruberoid Company
and GAF Corp. of New York;
Eagle-Pitcher Industries Inc. of
Pennsylvania; Celotex Corp. of
New York; Keene Corp. and its
predecessor Baldwin-Ehret-Hill
of New Jersey; Raymark Indus
tries and its predecessor Raybes-
tors-Manhattan Inc. of Charles
ton, S.C., and Standard Indus
tries Inc. and its predecessor
Standard Asbestos Manufactur
ing Co. of Kansas City, Kan.
Houston said Gideon went to
work for Standard Asbestos in
the Texas Panhandle when he
was 20 years old in 1944. He
stayed for 25 years until 1909,
when he moved to Houston.
But in 1979 he was diagnosed
as having asbestosis. He noticed
a shortness of breath, general
ized weakness and the inability
to climb stairs or walk distances.
Asbestosis occurs when peo
ple inhale the tiny asbeste libers,
which get caught in the lungs.
Gideon still works for an insula
tion firm, but is an office worker
and estimator. His lawyer said
he no longer is exposed to asbes
tos fibers.
The companies argued dur
ing the eight-day trial that Gi
deon's medical problems,
be traced to his cigarette*

Clergymen plan
anti-nuclear
demonstration
United Press International
EL. PASO— Roman Catholic
and Protestant clergy will take
pan in a massive demonstration
next Monday against the world
wide buildup of nuclear arms,
promoters say.
The Rev. Jaime Madrid,
chancellor of the Roman Catho
lic Diocese of El Paso, said he will
deliver the opening prayer at
the rally, which is being held at
the entrance to Fort Bliss.
A Unitarian minister, the
Rev. Forrest Johnson, will also
speak at the demonstration,
which is expected to attract
thousands of people from
throughout the El Paso area.
Also included on the prog
ram are representatives of the El
Paso Religious Society of
Friends and Sister Mary Peter
Bruce, a Catholic nun who is a
member of the Loretto Disarma
ment-Economic Conversion
committee.
One of the promoters of the
demonstration, Fran Ernst, said
seven organizations will be in
volved as part of the Interna
tional Day of Nuclear Disarma
ment.
“We need to pray for an end
to the insanity our country is in
volved in with the nuclear arms
buildup,” she said.
Ernst said she hoped
“thousands” would turn out for
the demonstration, which will be
held at noon in the streets in
front of Fort Bliss. Promoters
said Fort Bliss was chosen as the
site for the demonstration be
cause the sprawling Army facil
ity is the headquarters for the
testing of missiles which have
the capability of carrying nuc
lear warheads.
An Army spokesman said
of f icials were aware of the plan
ned demonstration. The spokes
man said the Nike Hercules,
which is used only by foreign
troops, has the capability of car
rying a nuclear warhead. The
missile is test-fired at Fort Bliss,
he said.
Fort Bliss spreads over a mil
lion acres of land, with more
than 25,000 military personnel
and more than 2,000 foreign
troops from 19 countries.
Ernst, representing El Pa
soans for Non-Nuclear Future,
said members of the seven
groups “will only take a few mi
nutes to show that there are
many who care about building a
f uture of peace and harmony.”
The demonstrators will be
peaceful and orderly, she said,
in keeping with aims to further
the cause of nuclear disarma
ment, demilitarization, non
intervention and world peace.
Yarbrough’s trial
set for August 1
United Press International
AUSTIN —Trial has been set
for Aug. 1 on bond jumping
charges for convicted perjurer
and former state Supreme
Court Justice Donald Yar
brough, who was snatched off
his island exile and brought back
to Texas last March.
Yarbrough’s lawyers, in a
hearing in state district court
Monday, said they did not antici
pate any further delays.
Yarbrough, a Houston
lawyer, was elected to the state’s
highest court in 1976, defeating
Appeals Court Judge Charles
arrow after spending
•I*. ; ^M)()() on his campaign.
olitical observers speculated
voters had Yarbrough confused
with three-time gubernatorial
candidate Don Yarborough and
former U.S. Sen. Ralph Yarbor
ough. Shortly thereafter, Yar
brough was convicted on
charges he lied to a grand jury
investigating allegations he plot
ted to hire the slaying of a Vic
toria banker, who in turn was to
have testified in a civil suit over
Yarbrrtugh’s financial dealings.
Yarbrough disappeared for
19 months and fled to the Carib
bean island of Grenada, where
he reportedly was studying
medicine when he was seized
and taken to the nearby island of
St. Vincent. Authorities there
extradited him to Texas March
18.
