by Kevin Thomas
HOUSTON (AP) — Wagner &
Brown’s unsolicited offer to buy
Panhandle Eastern Corp. for S50 a
share, or S2.25 billion, was rejected
as inadequate by Panhandle’s board
of directors Wednesday.
The bid by Wagner 8c Brown, an
energy concern based in Midland,
Texas, and controlled by Cyril Wag-
ner Jr. and Jack E. Brown, was dis
closed by Panhandle on June 30.
A spokesman for Wagner &
Brown, Grant Billingsley, said the
company had no comment in re
sponse to the action.
Wagner & Brown’s offer called
for each of Panhandle’s 44.9 million
common shares outstanding to be
exchanged for $30 cash plus pre
ferred stock with a current market
value of $20.
After the directors’ vote was an
nounced, Panhandle’s common
stock rose $1.25 a share to $48.50 in
New York Stock Exchange compos
ite trading. The stock was among the
Big Board’s most-active issues.
Panhandle Eastern, a diversified
energy concern, is considered a rela
tively attractive target because of its
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. subsid
iary, which holds a major stake in the
rich Hugoton natural-gas field cen
tered in southwestern Kansas.
Adding to Anadarko’s allure was a
decision by Kansas officials earlier
this year to allow new drilling in the
Hugoton field over the next four
years, which is seen bolstering the
potential market value of older re
serves there.
Besides its gas reserves, Panhan
dle operates a 17,500-mile gas-trans-
mission system that serves Texas,
Louisiana and much of the Midwest.
The Panhandle proposal is latest
attempt by Wagner 8c Brown, a lead
ing independent oil and gas pro
ducer, to purchase a major gas-
transmission company.
Should Wagner & Brown decide
to continue pursuing a hostile bid
for Panhandle, it would face several
defensive measures the company has
adopted since 1983.
Among those anti-takeover provi
sions is Panhandle’s “poison pill” de
fense, which is designed to make an
unwelcome takeover substantially
more expensive for the bidder.

Malpractice
Court overturns ruling declaring award limits unconstitutional
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Su
preme Court overruled Wednesday
a lower court that had decided the
statutory limit on' malpractice dam
age awards was unconstitutional.
The high court did not say the
limit is constitutional, but it ruled
that the Beaumont Court of Appeals
should not have addressed the con
stitutional question in the case.
The lawsuit was filed by survivors
of Kenneth Baber, a 340-pound
Beaumont man who died Aug. 25,
1979, three days after undergoing
weight-reduction surgery.
Surgical staples were placed in
Baber’s stomach in an attempt to re
duce his appetite. A pathologist testi
fied that Baber died of cardiovascu
lar problems and peritonitis that
developed after the surgery.
The complications started at a
hole in Baber’s stomach near where
a staple was placed, according to the
pathologist.
A trial court awarded Baber’s su-
rivivors $1.32 million in damages
from the Baptist Hospital of South
east Texas at Beaumont and Dr.
George L. Campbell. The hospital
appealed, contending that state law
limited medical malpractice awards
to $500,000.
The Beaumont Court of Appeals
upheld the decision and said the
damage award limit was unconstitu
tional. In Wednesday’s opinion, the
Supreme Court said there was no
constitutional issue in the case be
cause the award did not exceed the
statutory limit.
The Supreme Court said the law
allows the limit to be adjusted, based
on the consumer price index. When
the Baber case was tried, the ad
justed limit was $804,419.
Because neither defendant in the
case was ordered to pay more than
that amount, the limit was not ex
ceeded, the high court said.
Bill Willis, executive assistant for
the Supreme Court, said the ruling
overrides the Beaumont appeals
court finding that the limit is uncon- I
stitutional.
“They are saying the court of ap- I
peals need not have ruled on it, |
Willis said.
A Texas Medical Association at- i
torney said the ruling was proper |
Holly Alt, TMA’s assistant general I
counsel, said the association would I
intervene to defend the constitution- I
ality of the limit if it is challenged in I
future cases.
“I don’t think there is a constitu- Jj
tional question,” Alt said. “It is per- |
fectly constitutional as it is.”

Texas court rules physical injury
unnecessary for ‘mental anguish’
Food donated
at Farm Aid II
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Su
preme Court ruled Wednesday it is
no longer necessary in wrongful
death cases to prove physical injury
to recover damages for mental an
guish.
Justice Robert Campbell’s major
ity opinion said, “A physical man
ifestation of mental anguish is evi
dence of the extent or nature of the
mental anguish suffered, but it is no
longer the only proof of mental an
guish.”
EL PASO (AP) — An attorney
withdrew $4.2 million from two
banks despite tax liens on the
money, which has been linked to a
Mexican drug lord suspected of kill
ing a U.S. agent, a federal suit al
leges.
The civil suit — filed in federal
court against attorney Merwin Grant
and the law firm of Bens, Gilbert,
Wake 8c Morrill of Phoenix, Ariz. —
alleges Grant took more than $2 mil
lion from El Paso National Bank and
more than $2.2 million from First
City National Bank of El Paso.
Michael E. Greene, an attorney in
the Justice Department’s tax division
in Dallas, filed the suit Friday, alleg-
The court’s 6-3 ruling came in a
case brought by Fred Moore and
Martha Theaker in El Paso County
against Douglas Lillebo for the
wrongful death of their adult son,
Paul Moore.
Lillebo allegedly fell asleep while
driving his car, and an accident oc
curred. Paul, a passenger in the car,
was killed.
Moore and Theaker, who were di
vorced, each asked the jury to deter
mine damages, if any, for loss of
ing Grant knew there were tax liens
on the money when he withdrew it
in early July 1984.
The money applied to $28 million
in taxes for 1984 owed by Marquo-
deo Alfaro Margarine, 54, a Mexi
can businessman. Grant represented
Alfaro last year in a dispute over
$6.5 million in certificates of deposit
at First City National Bank.
A receptionist at the law firm in
Phoenix said Wednesday that Grant
was not in his office, the firm’s se
nior partner was in Utah and the
firm’s administrator was unavailable.
Alfaro, whose name was on the
certificates of deposit as co-owner,
had said the money belonged to 13
companionship and society, and for
mental anguish resulting from Paul’s
death.
The trial judge refused to submit
the issues. The 8th Court of Appeals
at El Paso held that there was no evi
dence that Paul’s death caused men
tal anguish.
Therefore, the appeals court held
it was not wrong to refuse to submit
the issues to the jury.
Mexican citizens for whom he was
making investments.
On Dec. 18, U.S. District Judge
Harry Hudspeth ruled that the $6.5
million belonged to the Internal
Revenue Service.
Federal investigators said the dis
puted money is believed to be con
nected to a money-laundering ring
operated by Miguel Angel Felix Gal
lardo of Guadalajara, alleged to be
one of the most powerful drug lords
in Mexico.
Gallardo also is wanted in connec
tion with the kidnapping of Drug
Enforcement Administration agent
Enrique Camarena Salazar.

Food donated
at Farm Aid II
distributed
AUSTIN (AP) — Food col- |
lected at the Farm Aid II concert
has reached the tables of some I
needy farm families as distribu- |
tion of 3,000 pounds of canned |
and packaged goods began this i!
week.
Much of the food was donated I
by music fans who attended Wil- j
lie Nelson’s benefit concert held jj
Friday at Austin’s Manor Downs.
“Canned goods are the most jj
popular items, but there are not ||
enough to go around,” said Joy jj
Sablatura, community relations jj
coordinator for the Austin food j
bank. “We would like everybody |
to get a little bit of something nu- ||
tritious.”
Pedro Grimaldo, executive di- |
rector of the Southside Commu- f
nity Service in San Marcos, drove [I
to the food bank Tuesday to pick [j
up his allocation.
Grimaldo said a few of the |
agency’s farm-related clients own I
small farms and the rest are la- |
borers. T hose who operate their j
own farms work for larger farm- |
ers or seek jobs in the city, but |
those jobs are fading fast.
Tumbling market prices and |
higher production costs for crops |
and livestock have created a lot of j
candidates for Farm Aid relief, j
Grimaldo said.
