PTA’s request
may lead to ban
of ‘dial-a-porn’
AUSTIN (AP) — The Public Util
ity Commission on Wednesday or
dered Southwestern Bell to show
why Dial 976 phone services, includ
ing “dial-a-porn,” should not be
banned in Texas.
The order came after the presi
dent of Texas PTA called on the
commission to abolish dial-a-porn.
Also Wednesday, the commission
approved an agreement in which
Southwestern Bell customers in Dal
las, Fort Worth, San Antonio and
Houston would have 60 days in
which they could request, at no
charge, that their phones be
“blocked” from making calls to 976
services such as dial-a-porn.
That order goes into effect Feb.
20. After the 60-day period, it will
cost $7 to block the calls. Currently,
Southwestern Bell charges $21.65
for blocking.
The 976 lines are leased by South
western Bell to companies that pro
vide a variety of recorded informa
tion. “I think we have to take a look
at whether all of the kinds of prob
lems that are surrounding 976 as it is
being offered now truly makes this
service in the public interest,” Com
missioner Jo Campbell said.
She said she would prefer a sys
tem in which 976 service would be
available only to customers who pay
a fee to have access to it instead of
the current system of having to pay
for blocking.
“You cannot always control, as an
example, at a business, who happens
to walk in the door of their business
or which employee happens to pick
up the phone,” Commissioner Marta
Greytok said. “You’re asking them to
be jailers with their own employees,”
Both commissioners said they
have concerns about all 976 services,
not just dial-a-porn.
The commission has fielded com
plaints from Texans who said their
children had made calls to the dial-a-
porn services.
Kathryn Whitfill of Houston,
president of the Texas PTA, told the
commission her 750,000-member
group is concerned about the
growth of dial-a-porn services in
Texas.
“We feel very strongly that such
material should neither be readily
available to everyone, and especially
children, nor should telephone sub
scribers have to pay to keep the ac
cess to this unwanted pornography
out of their homes,” she said.
EMS arrival times
lag in major cities
throughout Texas
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Acci
dent victims in Houston and San An
tonio had to wait longer for an am
bulance than victims in three other
large Texas cities, emergency re
ports indicate.
In Houston, victims had to wait an
average of 10 minutes and in San
Antonio the wait was between six
and eight minutes, the San Antonio
Tight reported.
Bexar County Medical Examiner
Vincent DiMaio said the ambulance
delays could prove fatal.
“Ideally, it should be three to five
minutes,” DiMaio said. “The prob
lem becomes especially acute when
people go into heart arrest — any
one who is arrested more than four
to five minutes is not going to come
back.”
Houston, with 37 ambulances cov
ering 669 miles, averaged the 10-
minute response rate 74 percent of
the time. In San Antonio’s city limits,
70 percent of the calls were an
swered within 10 minutes. In Bexar
County, 30 percent of the calls were
answered within 10 minutes. The av
erage response time was 6.7 min
utes, the Light study showed.
David Eaton, a professor at the
Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public
Affairs at the University of Texas at
Austin, also has studied ambulance
response times.
“Compared to Austin and Dallas,
there’s more risk (in San Antonio),”
Eaton said. “That’s clear with 70 per
cent of the calls in Bexar County
made after 10 minutes.”
Officials said annexation and in
sufficient emergency vehicles to
serve the expanding city are to
blame.
But Deputy Fire Chief Curtis
Franz said annexation didn’t slow re
sponse time because EMS served
those areas before annexation.
There are 19 ambulances that are
dispatched from area fire stations to
cover 1,250 square miles in the city
and county, he said. In Dallas 74
percent of the calls were reached
within five minutes. Dallas, which
has 22 ambulances to cover 380
square miles, averaged 4.92 during
survey period. In Austin and Travis
County 98 percent of the calls were
answered within 10 minutes. Austin
has 13 ambulances to cover 1,044
square miles. The average response
time in the city was 5.95 minutes,
while in the county it was 12.42 min
utes.
In El Paso the average response
time was 6.32 minutes. The city’s
seven ambulances cover 139 square
miles.
Dallas bank
stalls probe
of SMU scandal
AUSTIN (AP) — A Dallas bank
where former Southern Methodist
football coach Bobby Collins is a di
rector has stalled an inquiry into the
school’s football scandal because it’s
taking too long to release related
bank records, officials from the state
attorney general’s office said
Wednesday.
“It’s reaching the point where we
might have to take legal action to get
the bank records,” said Elna Christo
pher, a spokesman for Attorney
General Jim Mattox.
In December, Mattox subpoenaed
the records of an SMU athletic de
partment account at Capital Bank in
an investigation into possible theft of
at least $ 10,000 in school funds.
On Wednesday, the bank notified
Mattox that it would take another six
weeks to comply with the subpoena.
“This is a big job,” W. Leonard
Payne, vice president and cashier,
told The Dallas Morning News.
“They want us to drop everything. . .
and just do their’s (records).”
