East Texas
threatened
by acid rain
DALLAS (AP) — Acid rain has
been falling on Texas for eight years
but only recently has the pollution,
usually associated with the industrial
Northeast, been a threat to plants
and animals, officials said.
Rain about 10 times more acidic
than normal has been falling in
Tyler at least since 1979, when the
Texas Air Control Board set up an
acid rain monitoring station there.
Some scientists believe acid rain
may be on the verge of killing trees
and fish in parts of East Texas. On
Saturday, they will meet with envi
ronmentalists and government offi
cials from the United States and
Canada in a day-long symposium on
acid rain at Southern Methodist Uni
versity.
“I think we have the components
of a very significant problem in the
not-too-distant future, especially if
we continue building lignite-burning
plants in East Texas,” said Ken
Kramer, the Austin lobbyist for the
Sierra Club. Lignite is a soft coal
mined in Texas.
George Crawford, an SMU physi
cist who will speak at the symposium,
said, “The party line has been that
acid rain is not a Texas problem.
The truth of the matter is, it is a
Texas problem.”
Water vapor turns sulfur dioxide
gases from industry — notably coal-
and lignite-burning power plants —
or nitrogen oxide gases from motor
vehicles into either sulfuric or nitric
acid that contaminates rain or snow.
With Texas utilities shifting from
natural gas to more economical coal
and lignite, there is growing concern
about the effects of acid rain on the
state.
Texas has 16 active coal power
E lants and 13 active lignite units. All
ut four of those are in the eastern
half of the state.
The state’s restrictions on sulfur
emissions are as stringent as those of
any state, but Texas
sions sources.

Leader of civil rights
donates collection
to University of Texas
ias more emis-
AUSTIN (AP) — Civil rights
leader James Farmer, who helped
found the Congress of Racial Equal
ity, Thursday donated his personal
papers to the University of Texas
and said he hoped it helps further
the study of nonviolent protest.
“To be perfectly realistic, very
little has been done on the study of
nonviolence before the ’50s and ’60s
in this country,” Farmer said. “The
papers may help to shed a little light
on what was done then.”
Farmer donated letters, notes,
speeches, civil rights-related pamph
lets, handbills, photographs and
posters.
The collection also includes the
original manuscript of his 1985
book, “Lay Bare the Heart: An Au
tobiography of the Civil Rights
Movement.”
In donating the papers to UT’s
Barker Texas History Center,
Farmer said credit belongs to his late
wife, Lula, who kept documents he
probably would have thrown away.
Farmer said he chose the univer
sity for several reasons.
“I made the decision to donate my
papers to the University of Texas
partly because this is my home
state,” Farmer said. “And because
the state of Texas and the University
of Texas have made enormous
headway and progress in a retj
lion of the value of the cult®

within the nation.”
Farmer also.said the sck

Panel says public system
of mental care not workim
AUSTIN (AP) — A member of a
mental health panel said Thursday
close scrutiny of Texas’ eight mental
hospitals shows that the public sys
tem of care and treatment is not
working very well.
David Pharis, panel coordinator,
summarized a three-volume report
to U.S. District Judge Barefoot
Sanders of Dallas on the state’s com-
E liance with a 1981 settlement of a
iwsuit filed by parents of mental
health patients.

The report for the period Decem
ber through April is the 10th since
the three-member R.A.J. Review
Panel began monitoring compliance
in 1982, and Pharis said, “Problems
with compliance still exist, and some
of these are major problems from
our point of view.”
Pharis, a social worker, said two is
sues concern him most — individual
care and long-term community care.
“We feel it
that there are
standards and
descriptions in place and
mechanisms in place
aimed at protecting peo
ple’s rights. ”
— David Pharis, mental
health panel coordinator
“We’re not trying to prevent peo
ple from being discharged to appro
priate facilities in the community,”
Pharis said. “But we feel it is nec
essary that there are adequate stan
dards and program descriptions in
place and mechanisms in place
aimed at protecting people’s rights.”
The report said the panel and
consultants had found that Austin
State Hospital, Big Spring State Hos

Five hospitals were identified as
having continuing problems with in
dividualized treatment planning and
programs — San Antonio State Hos
pital, Vernon State Hospital, Terrell
State Hospital, Rusk State Hospital
and the general psychiatric unit at
Kerrville State Hospital.
Also, the report said, six of the
eight hospitals “are having little or
no trouble” in meeting new patient-
staff ratio requirements. San Anto
nio and Rusk state hospitals have
had some trouble but are currently
hiring staff, the report said.
Among other items of docu
mented progress, the report said, is
the proper use of mind-altering
medications; renovation of build
ings; fewer patients; and improved
protection for patients.
“One of the more exdrinj
ings is that although the

Clements sets session agenda;
supports ban against income fa
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clements on Thursday
formally summoned the Legislature to a special session
and urged lawmakers to pass a “responsible” budget
and prohibitions against personal and corporate in
come taxes.
The special session is to begin at 2 p.m. Monday.
“The primary issue before us is to maintain the cur
rent level of spending with budget increases only for se
lected priority programs,” Clements said.
The 140-day regular session that ended June 1 with
out a 1988-89 budget was the first since 1961 in which
lawmakers failed to pass a spending plan for state gov
ernment.
Clements, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and House Speaker
Gib Lewis have met since adjournment, looking for a
compromise plan. Hobby proposed a $39.3 billion bud
get, Lewis offered a $38.4 billion budget and Clements
has indicated support for a plan totaling approximately
$38.1 billion.
Clements, who vowed during the regular session to
veto any tax increase greater than $2.9 billion, said he
still opposes substantial increases in government spend
ing.
“We not only must agree on a responsible budget for
the next two years, but we also must be vehement in our
commitment against tax-and-spend philosophies,” he
said.
Clements said he also hopes for passage of proposed
constitutional amendments that would place before vot
ers a ban on corporate and personal state income taxes.
He said such prohibitions are vital to the continued
economic growth of the state.
“One of the strongest aspects of the Texas economy
is the fact that we do not have a state corporate or per-
