Commissioner Peggy Rosson of
El Paso would probably be pro
moted to chairman.
The Times Herald said the
leading candidates to succeed
Erwin appear to be Dennis
Thomas, who directs manage
ment and budget in the gover
nor’s office; Rafael Quintanilla,
director of the Texas Depart
ment of Community Affairs
and a former PUC hearing ex
aminer; and Don Butler, a law
yer for the Texas Municipal
League in utility rate cases.
Erwin, 38, resigned as vice
president and Houston office
manager for Hill and Knowlton
Inc., to accept White’s appoint
ment to the $58,000-a-year
PUC post in February 1983.
He and Rosson were ap
pointed within hours alter the
surprise resignations of two of
former Gov. William P. Clem
ents Jr.’s appointees, George
Cowden and Tommie Gene
Smith.
One of the reasons Erwin is
expected to remain in Austin is
that his wife, Gay, was ap
pointed by White last year as ex
ecutive director of the newly
created Governor’s Gommission
on Women.
Bob Dilenschneider, chief of
U.S. operations for Hill and
Knowlton, said earlier that Er
win had asked to return to the
company after serving on the
PUC and the company wanted
him back.
If Erwin leaves the PUC, it
would he the second time he has
resigned from the agency with
out completing his full term.
Erwin, one of the first appoin
tees to the commission after its
creation in 1975, served a pre
vious stint from 1976 until
1979.
On his second appointment,
Erwin told reporters: “Bore- -
dom I don’t think is going to be
a problem this time — unfortu
nately. I wish it would be, but
it’s not going to be.”
When he resigned in 1979,
Erwin said the PUC was run
ning smoothly and no longer
presented a challenge.

EDB standards called lax
United Press International
AUSTIN — The director
of a 4,000-member food co
operative Friday predicted
there will be an another 10 to
15 cancer deaths among his
membership if current Texas
guidelines on exposure to the
pesticide EDB remain in ef
fect.
“We feel that’s outra
geous,” Brad Rockwell of the
Austin-based Wheatsville Co
operative said in a Texas
Health Department public
hearing.
The Health Board will vote
in May on permanent stan
dards for human exposure to
ethylene dibromide, a power
ful cancer-causing substance
used to fumigate grains and
citrus. EDB has been widely
used since the 1940s.
The state board adopted
emergency standards in Feb
ruary that mirror those rec
ommended by the federal
Environmental Protection
Agency.
The EPA acted after the
substance, identified in 1974
as causing cancer in labo
ratory animals, began ap
pearing in food and water
supplies in many states, in
cluding Texas.
State health officials were
urged during the hearing Fri
day to strengthen Texas’e-
mergency guidelines, which
they say dp not go far enough
in protecting consumers.
“I think the EPA has been
extremely lax and overly con
cerned with the effects on the
corporate food industry,”
said Rockwell. “Basically they
(EPA) are subsidizing the cor
porate food industry with
people’s health.”
Rockwell said the state
should test a wider range of
products to determine con
tamination by EDB and other
dangerous substances.
“We have all these prod
ucts in our store, but we can
not, tell our customers
whether they’re contami
nated or not,” he said.
Tani Adams, director of
the Texas Pesticide Watch,
said the Health Department
had tested some 800 products
and found 300 contained
some level of EDB.
“Only a few dozen have ac
tually been recalled,” she
said. “There are hundreds of ‘
products that have EDB, but
are below the Health Depart
ment levels.” ' — I
Under the emergency stan- I
dards adopted by the Health
Board in February, ready-to-
eat foods, including raw
fruits, can contain no more
than 30 parts per billion of
EDB. The level for food to be
cooked and unprocessed
grains products is 150 ppb
and for unprocessed raw
grains it is 900 ppb.
