“We’re not going to tolerate

Hearing Monday for
‘beachfront’ owners
United Press International
AUSTIN — A hearing has
been set Monday on the state’s
request for an injunction against
a couple who are rebuilding
their Galveston home on beach
property that is now considered
state land. >,
Travis County District Court
Judge Harley Clark issued a
temporary restraining order
late Tuesday at the request of
Attorney General Jim Mattox.
The order forbids Robert L.
Matcha and his wife, Anne Mor
gan Matcha, from continuing
any reconstruction on the West
Beach property or preventing
public access to the beach.
Clark’s order will remain in
effect until he decides whether
to make it permanent or rules in
favor of the Matchas.
The state maintains that due
to the shifting sands caused by
Hurrican Alicia in August, the
Matcha’s property is no longer
behind the vegetation line used
to mark public property.
Even though notice was post-
' mt be
ed that reconstruction might be
in violation of the Open Beaches
Act, the state said the Matchas
went ahead with rebuilding.
Mattox’s office has also filed
similar complaints against 10
other Galveston homeowners.

Oil reserve’s
woes attacked]
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
chairman of a House panel
Wednesday vowed to hold na
tional energy officials’ “feet to
the fire” to ensure problems
are solved at the Strategic Pet
roleum Reserve.
Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla.,
told Secretary of Energy
Donald Hodel that a House
Government Operations sub
committee supports im
plementation of 170 recom
mendations made in a Depart
ment of Energy report on the
oil reserve stored in giant
underground salt domes in
Texas and Louisiana.
The recent report detailed
a myriad of problems, includ
ing equipment too rusty to op
erate and minimal fire protec
tion at some sites, that raised
concern about the reliability
of the reserve in the event of a
national crisis.
The reserve was autho
rized by Congress as a hedge
against an oil crisis threaten
ing national security and more
than 350 million barrels of oil
have been stored in it since
1977.
“The subcommittee in
tends to hold Secretary
Hodel’s and (DOE official
Joseph) LaGrone’s feel to the
fire to assure that the 170 re
commendations in this report
are implemented and the
problems are solved," Synar
said.
Hodel, who ordered the re
port after a series of hearings
by Synar’s panel revealed mas
sive problems at the reserve,
testified that his agency is
working to ensure it will be
effective in the event of a na
tional emergency.
“I hope that you will keep
our feet to the fire because
that’s where we intend to pul
them,” said Hodel.
Synar and Hodel com
plimented each other on in

tiveness of the reserve. Synar,
