(AP) — An angry dispute erupted in federal bankruptcy court Wednesday over whether litigation against officers of Texaco stemming from the Texaco- Pennzoil battle should be terminated without comment. More than a dozen so-called “de rivative actions” have been filed in New York, Texas and Delaware, the state of Texaco’s incorporation, stemming from the $10.3 billion judgment awarded Pennzoil by a Texas jury which had found Texaco guilty of interfering with Pennzoil’s planned merger with Getty Oil. The actions seek to recoup from the company’s officers some of the money lost in litigation and charge officers with mismanagement. Ending the derivative actions was part of an amended financial disclo sure statement submitted to the court by Texaco Monday as part of the oil giant’s effort to emerge from Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws by April. But the attorneys for the plaintiffs demanded to know why the end of those actions was included in the package, which requires approval of two-thirds of the company’s share holders before it can be accepted. “We have grave concerns over the credibility of the disclosure statements,” said Mel Weiss, one of the attorneys for a plaintiff. “I think they have a hidden agenda. They want to get out of this without any exposure.” Weiss said Texaco never made any effort to settle the derivative ac tions while Texaco attorney Harvey Miller accused the derivative action attorneys of never approaching the bankruptcy court witn its concerns. The two oil companies have been working to hammer out an agreement, which was reached at the end of last year. The agreement, contingent on ap proval of two-thirds oi Texaco’s shareholders, gives Pennzoil $3 bil lion, piays off other creditors and al lows the company to emerge from Chapter 11. Tne plaintiffs’ attorneys de manded to know if the $3 billion deal with Pennzoil hinged on the ter mination of the derivative actions. Pennzoil attorney Kenneth Klee said the reason Pennzoil and the general creditors committee of Tex aco insisted on the derivative action clause was based on what he called the "financiability of the settlemeni and “local peace." “The case means nothing if Pen nzoil doesn’t get its money,” Klee said. “We were concerned if Texaco management is under fire, lenders might view the company as a risk.” Lawsuits were nuisances, Klee said. Pressed by U.S. Bankrupto Judge Howard Schwartzberg as to whether the derivative action lan guage was “an absolute condition"of Pennzoil’s agreeing to the set tlement, Klee said, “Pennzoils agreement is a package.” Another attorney in the derivative actions, Arthur Olick, said the stock holders had a right to know if Pen nzoil wouldn’t go along with the set tlement unless the actions were ended. Klee again said the package in cluded both the dismissal of thede rivative actions and payment of the $3 billion. Otherwise Pennzoil was prepared “to litigate to the end," be said. Replied Daniel Krasner, another derivative action lawyer, “He hai been blackmailed! The question is, are shareholders being held hostage by Texaco management?” * m Families, friends mourn for victims S ONLY m M of mine explosion m PITCHER OF BEER 6 Daily Lunch Specials Served with Chips & Hot SauCe MTV & Sports in Aggie Room Approved Checks-Credit Cards 3109 Texas Ave., Bryan 823-7470 LAS ESPERANZAS, Mexico (AP) “It’s my brother who’s inside — Grieving friends and relatives We’re family. We want to know gathered at cemeteries and churches what’s happening,” said Augustin in northern Coahuila state’s Carbon Aredondo Alfaro, whose brother, region Wednesday to mourn the 37 Juan Hilario, is one of the six miss- miriers who died in a fiery explosion, ing. Aredondo, also a miner, said the Efforts to recover the remaining six buried deep inside the mine shaft continued as their families, waiting since Monday for news, kept a vigil outside the gates. “Have you heard anything about my son?” one crying woman asked all who passed through the gates. In this town of 10,000 about six miles from the mine, mass was held for all 16 local residents who died in Monday’s explosion at “Mine 4 1-2,” operated by Hullera Mexicana. Church bells rang, the miners union flag flew at half staff, and school was canceled as this commu nity mourned its dead. explosion has made him think twice about hisjob inside the mine. “Now I’m afraid. The moneythev pay us isn’t sufficient to risk our selves for this,” said Aredondo, who earned about 10,000 pesos, or jus! over $4.50 a day at hisjob in another area mine. “For me, mining was the best Now I feel very undecided. This just isn’t working.” “The bells are ringing sadly,” said schoolteacher Rose Irene Campos. “Almost everybody is touched by this. So many people died.” Maria Herrera, whose cousin, En rique Ramirez Herrera, died in the blast, said, “It affects us all because we’re all like brothers here.” The 33-year-old Ramirez, presi dent of the local P EA, left behind a wife seven months pregnant and two other children. His body, recovered late Tuesday, was buried following funeral services here. “The community lost a responsi ble man and an affectionate father,” Ramirez’s brother said at his funeral. “The only consolation for our suf fering is that other people also are suffering,” he said.

Hipolito Chavez Vaquera, a me chanical engineer at another mine, said his father was one of the 17 men hospitalized after the blast. “Every job has its risks and here there’s not anything but the mines. What else can you expect?” he said. Still, Chavez said the explosion was not just an accident, as mine of ficials said. Authorities say a trans former inside the mine short-cir cuited, causing an explosion and fire that burned throughout the day Monday. 845-2611 “This really was an accident,” Hugo Garcia Beanda, spokesman for the government steel company Sidermex, said Tuesday. “It didn’t have anything to do with neglect or lack of prudence.” Hugo Garcia said the mine com pany planned to establish an inde pendent commision to investigate the explosion “so this doesn’t hap pen again.” Relatives who waited outside the gates of the mine pleaded with au thorities for news of the missing. BOSTON (AP) — People have taken aspirin since ancient times,but the ubiquitous white tablet has be come a glamour drug of modern medicine, good fora growing list of seemingly unrelated ills. “It’s an absolutely amazing drug, says Harold J. DeMonaco, directs of pharmacy at Massachusetts Gen l eral Hospital. Impressive enough are its best known attributes — aspirin’s poweil to ease pain, lower fever and relieve inflammation. But that’s just thebe | ginning. In its latest and perhaps most dra matic incarnation, aspirin turns oui to be a potent weapon against hear:! attacks. A study published in Thursdays New England Journal of Media'-1 shows that healthy men who take as pirin every other day can cut their risk of heart attack almost in half. The Aspirin Foundation, a trade organization, says Americans take more than 80 million aspirin tablet' a day. Because aspirin is so common many people don’t take it seriously, said Dr. Arthur Jacknowitz ol Wesi Virginia University’s School of Phar I macy. “Aspirin has gotten a bad rap,”be said. “It’s an old drug. Worse than that, it’s an old, inexpensive drug Inexpensive drugs are not supposed to work. “You’re supposed to spendalotof money to have a drug that’s a pretty color and comes in a nice container And aspirin continues to surprise I It is being studied as a treatmentfo:I cataracts and diabetes. Scientists also are exploring itspo-1 tential for stimulating the immune I system.
