Baylor appeal overrulr
in discrimination case c<
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston ille
gally discriminated against Jewish
doctors who wanted to practice at a
Saudi Arabian medical complex
used by the country’s royal family, a
federal appeals court ruled Monday.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals in New Orleans upheld a lower
court ruling that Baylor discrimi
nated against Jewish doctors on its
staff by not allowing them to work at
the King Faisal Hospital in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia.
In its ruling, however, the appeals
court said the lower court’s award of
$280,000 for attorneys’ fees was too
high and must be reset by the U.S.
District Court in Houston.
Baylor administrators had not re
ceived a copy of the court ruling and
did not know if it would be ap
pealed, college spokeswoman Susan
nah Griffin said.
However, the program at the
Saudi Arabia hospital was disconti
nued in June 1985, she said.
Baylor anesthesiologists Lawrence
Abrams and Stuart Linde filed suit
in 1982 after they were not allowed
to join heart surgery teams going to
Faisal Hospital.
Their attorney, Stuart M. Nelkin,
said he could not characterize the
significance of the ruling since the
program has been discontinued.
Abrams now practices in New York,
but Linde is still at Baylor, he said.
Linde said Monday he had no com
ment on the ruling.
The two doctors were told they
would not he able to get entry visas
for Saudi Arabia because they are
Jewish, according to the ruling.
“There is no evidence in the re
cord that the statement represented
the actual position of the Saudi gov
ernment with regard to the partici
pation of Jews in the program,” the
5th Circuit said.
“In addition, there is no evidence
that Baylor even attempted to ascer-

Perot attacks business
but not GM chairman
in luncheon speech
DETROIT (AP) — The more
than 7,000 people who attended H.
Ross Perot’s luncheon speech on
Monday hoping to see sparks fly be
tween he and General Motors Corp.
Chairman Roger Smith instead got a
Perot critique on the problems of
American business.
The Economic Club of Detroit
luncheon has been one of the hottest
tickets in town since GM’s board of
directors several weeks ago voted to
buy out Perot, the company’s biggest
shareholder and its loudest critic, for
$750 million.
But on Monday, Perot and Smith
sat smiling at each other on the po
dium, and Smith introduced Perot
with a variety of flattering superla
tives.
“Ross Perot is a triumphant entre
preneur in the best of American tra
dition,” Smith said.
“The company he started mirrors
his own entrepreneurial vigor with
its aggressive, can-do culture,” he
said. “His loyalty to his employees
and theirs to him is legendary.”
Earlier, Perot had told a news con
ference that he never expected GM
to buy him out, and proposed a
buyout only as an alternative to
three other solutions for improving
the performance of the nation’s big
gest automaker.
Smith said Electronic Data Sys
tems, which Perot founded with
$1,000 in 1962 and sold to GM for
$2.5 billion in 1984, “will continue to
be a powerful engine in GM’s drive
toward cost-efficient, electronically
integrated operations.”
GM bought out Perot for $750
million and three top EDS exec
utives for $50 million late last month
in return for Perot’s resignation
from the board a n a the
chairmanship of EDS.
Part of the agreement included an
arbitration board that would deter
mine penalties of up to $7.5 million
if either side criticized the other.
In his introduction. Smith made
only one reference to his highly pub
licized and costly split with Perot.
“Now yes, we do have our differ
ences on means and methods and
Ross and I may not always see eyc-
to-eye on how to get things clone.”
Smith said. “But we certainly do
agree on what needs to he* done.
In his speech, Perot stressed the
value of the enterprising individual
and criticized big business in general
without mentioning GM, hut many
of his remarks were repeats of com
ments he had made about GM in the
past.

Child’s cocaine death act
as catalyst for community
HEREFORD (AP) — Residents
here still don’t consider their little
farming community a drug capital,
but the cocaine death of a 9-year-old
boy shocked them into action.
On Aug. 17, two weeks before he
was to start the third grade, Manuel
Saucedo died of a severe allergic re
action to a small amount of cocaine,
according to forensic pathologists.
How he got the drug remains a
mystery and under investigation.
But the fact that such a young
child died from drugs has become a
focal point for worried parents and
school officials.
The school board seriously is con
sidering getting a drug-sniffing dog.
The local Elks Club recently spon
sored a drug paraphernalia exhibit
at the Hereford Community Center
parking lot.
A program showing teachers how
to spot drug use among students was
started ahead of schedule.
A panel of experts on illegal drugs
spoke to a standing-room-only
crowd of parents shortly after the
cause of Manuel’s death was re
ported.
“And we were competing with
Monday night football that night,”
recalls Mary Johnson, a deputy with
the Deaf Smith County Sheriffs Of
fice.
Marc Williamson, assistant super
intendent for instruction in the
Hereford Independent School Dis
trict, said, “This is not the drug capi
tal of the world. I moved here be
cause of the traditional values this
community engenders — trustwor
thiness, respect, honesty.”
On the wall of his office is a large
color picture of his two children, a 6-
year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy.
The same picture, unframed, is on
his desk.
“But anyone who says we don’t
have a drug problem is sticking his
head in the sand,” said Williamson, a
native of San Marcos.
“What I think has happened is . . .
(Manuel’s death) has helped crystal
lize efforts,” Williamson said. “It acts
as a catalyst to bring the community
together.”
Manuel was among the 5,000 chil
dren in the school district in Deaf
Smith County.
He died from a severe allergic re
action to a minute amount of co
caine, said forensic pathologist
Ralph Erdmann, who conducted the
autopsy.
Erdmann says Manuel must have
been exposed to cocaine previously
in order for the child’s slight body to
develop a hypersensitivity to it.
At first, the town wondered how a
9-year-old boy in a town of 18,000
got involved with drugs in the first
place.
Then it became concern that if it
could happen to Manuel, it could
happen to others.
Jeri Curtis Shire, news editor at
the Hereford Brand, didn’t wait to

Port of Houston woiOrt
license, train gi/d fa*
HOUSTON (AP) — At least one
police union says it will take the Port
of Houston to court to force the
agency either to train its 78 armed
guards or eliminate the positions.
The Port of Houston has been
empowered by law to operate an un
licensed police force since the 1920s.
State law, however, was changed
last year to require all governmental
agencies with police-type forces to
train their officers by state standards
and obtain licenses for them.
The port is the only political sub
division in Texas to refuse to license
its officers either as policemen or se-
curity guards, according to
spokesmen for the Texas Commis
sion on Law Enforcement Officer
Standards and Education and the
Texas Board of Private Investigators
and Private Security Agencies.
Private security guards must now
be registered with the investigators
board, but guards for governmental
entities were left in a gray area, the
spokesmen said.
