State court
grants hearing
in libel case
In Advance
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Su
preme Court on Wednesday granted
a hearing in a libel case between two
former mayors of South Houston.
Former mayor Lynn Brasher Filed
a suit against Walter Carr and an
other former mayor, A1 Thiel, say
ing they libeled him in political bro
chures that were published in 1985.
A Harris County state district
court judge dismissed the suit, but
the 14th Court of Appeals reversed
that ruling and ordered the trial
court to r'-consider the case.
Carr, ic author of the pamph
lets, and Thiel, who printed the bro
chures, appealed to the state Su
preme Court which will hear oral
arguments on the case Jan. 18.
The trial court dismissed the suit,
agreeing with Carr and Thiel that
the pamphlets were protected by the
First Amendment right of free
speech.
The court also ordered Brasher to
pay $500 in sanctions and costs to
each defendant.
But the 14th Court of Appeals
disagreed.
In analyzing the brochures, the
appeals court said some of the opin
ions were written in a way to imply
fact and criminal wrongdoing on the
part of Brasher.
Thiel also argued that Brasher
did not file his suit before the one-
year statute of limitations had ex
pired since the publication of the
brochures.
Worker finds
Texas banker
shot in head
00300312
TYLER (AP) — Fred T. Brooks
Sr., founder and former chairman
of Tyler’s Bank of East Texas and a
former Texas Banker of the Year,
was found shot in the head Wednes
day morning, a justice of the peace
said.
An employee reporting for work
about 8 a.m. Wednesday found
Brooks’ body in a hangar barn near
Edom, Precinct 4 Justice of the
Peace C.A. Jordan said.
Brooks’ wound in the temple ap
peared to be self-inflicted, but an au
topsy would be performed to be on
the safe side, Jordan said.
Brooks, the former president of
Independent Bankers Association of
Texas and Independent Bankers
Association of America who made
his name in the Dallas banking in
dustry, was found a short time after
he died, Jordan said.
Jordan gave no other information
about Brooks’ death.
Brooks resigned as chairman of
Bank of East Texas, Tyler, earlier
this year and was the current chair
man of Canton-based Bank of Van
Zandt, formerly known as Traders
State Bank. He was one of the
founders of Texas Independent
Bank of Dallas and was a longtime
president of Merchants State Bank
of Dallas.
He was “Texas Banker of the
Year” in 1978.
Energy plant
construction
to start in ‘89
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) Con
struction of a $104 million gas re
processing plant that will turn refin
ery refuse into usable products is
expected to begin early in 1989, a
project spokesman said.
The Javelina gas processing plant
on a 26-acre site here will be man
aged by Coastal Corp. in a joint ef
fort with two other firms.
It will use what the industry calls
“off-gas,” or gas byproducts pro
duced during oil refining, W.E.
Spencer, senior vice president of
Coastal said. Such gases otherwise
are burned in refinery boilers or
flared into the atmosphere.
Project officials said the plant’s
net effect would be to capture lost
profit potential while reducing air
pollution.
Houston-based Coastal will be 40
percent owner through its subsid
iary, Coastal Javelina Inc., Spencer
said. He said another 40 percent will
be held by K-M Javelina Inc., a sub
sidiary of Kerr-McGee Corp of Ok
lahoma City; and Valero Energy will
hold a 20 percent interest in the
plant through its subsidiary, Valero
Refining Off-Gas Processing Co.
“Javelina represents a new thrust
for our industry,” Spencer said
Tuesday night at a gathering to an
nounce the project. “To our knowl
edge, this is the first plant of this
type to be built as a joint effort by
three separate companies.”
Production could reach as high as
26,000 barrels of liquifiable hydro
carbons daily, with principal prod
ucts to include ethylene, ethane and
propylene.
AIDS expert will hold lecture Friday
The head of a national college
task force on AIDS will discuss
the prevalence of the acquired
immune deficiency syndrome on
college campuses Friday from
2:30-4 p.m. in 601 Rudder.
Dr. Richard P. Keeling, chair
man of the task force on AIDS
for the American College Health
Association, will give the lecture,
titled “UPDATE: AIDS on the
College Campus.”
Nancy Thompson, head of the
Student Affairs Professional De-
velopement Committee, said that
Keeling will give current infor
mation about AIDS, as well as ad
vice on how colleges and students
can deal with AIDS in the future.
“We originally planned this as
a seminar for staff and faculti
members, but when we foundonil
what he had to say, we realizedi
was something the students|
needed to hear,” Thompson said.
Keeling also is president of tile
American College Health Asso
ciation and associate professor o(|
medicine and director of theDe
partment of Student Health ai
the University of Virginia.
“Dr. Keeling is the foremosi
authority in the country on AIDS
on college campuses,” Thompson
said.
Keeling’s presentation will in
clude a slide show and a question-
and-answer period. An informal
reception will follow the dis
cussion.
