WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (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?”

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

school was canceled as this commu

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

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

that burned throughout the day
Monday.

“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.

risk of heart attack almost in half.
The Aspirin Foundation, a trade

more than 80 million aspirin tablet'
