HOUSTON (AP) — In reports
that are part of new federal public
disclosure requirements, five major
Houston-area industries said they
reduced the level of toxic chemicals
their plants are pouring into the air.
The companies’ industrial com
plexes, which reported 1987 releases
of airborne toxic chemicals that were
among the largest in Harris, Galves
ton and Brazoria counties, reported
combined reductions in those emis
sions of 22 percent in 1988, accord
ing to a Houston Chronicle analysis.
Some company officials acknowl
edge, however, that actual reduc
tions are not as great as the figures
reflect.
The new reports were due to gov
ernment officials by July 1. Their
statistics covered the second year of
a public disclosure program that has
focused unprecedented attention on
toxic air pollution and figured
prominently in the debate over
strengthening the Clean Air Act.
The Chronicle analysis shows that
the combined 1988 estimates of
Amoco Chemical’s Chocolate Bayou
plant and the multiple facilities of
Dow Chemical at Freeport, Exxon in
Baytown, Shell in Deer Park and
Union Carbide at Texas City totaled
about 24.9 million pounds of toxic
substances released to the air. The
1987 total was about 32 million
pounds.
“It’s obviously good news that the
figures show some reductions, but
whether we can depend heavily on
the figures is the question,” said Ken
Kramer, director of the Lone Star
Sierra Club.
“It will take several years of data
to demonstrate conclusively that re
ductions are taking place in pollut
ion emissions to the air,” he said.
Several industry representatives
conceded that in a number of cases,
the 1988 numbers exaggerated the
actual reductions.
Among the reasons are overesti
mates of 1987 emissions and better
calculations for 1988.
John Leverton, Union Carbide’s
principal engineer for health, safety
and environmental affairs in Texas
City, said some emission reductions
were achieved there last year.

HOUSTON (AP) — Police say
they have no clues as to why a real
estate investor shot his wife and then
himself with a gun he had purchased
about an hour earlier.
“There was no note,” homicide
Detective Brian Foster said. “We do
know that on at least two occasions
there were domestic disturbances at
the house in which police were
called.”
Police said Billy Krumbein bought
a five-shot Rossi revolver for $170 at
a sporting goods store near his
southwest Houston home about 3:45
p.m. Sunday and later shot his wife,
Ila Jean Krumbein, 46.
Krumbein, 58, and his wife died a

home.
started, but it was only a few min
utes,” Foster said.
Krumbein confronted his wife
and fired all five shots from the .38-
caliber pistol at her, striking her in
the chest, Foster said.
“It looks like they struggled over
the gun,” he said.
“We believe it started in the bed
room. All we really know is she ran
into the den where their 17-year-old
son was and told him she had been
shot.”
“We don’t know how long he had
been home when the shooting
The son ran to a neighbor’s house
to call for help.

than 20 TI engineers and software
developers, the Austin American-
Statesman reported.
Operating in secret and often in
danger of losing their jobs, they say,
members of the group have posted
anti-drug testing signs on telephone
poles near TPs Austin plant and
amassed a comprehensive computer
data base about national drug-test
ing laws and procedures.
The group plans to begin a low-
key lobbying effort aimed at per
suading state legislators and the
Austin City Council to restrict the
use of drug tests in Texas and Aus
tin.
Drug-testing programs like the
one proposed by TI are forbidden in
six states and at least two cities, Ber
keley and San Francisco, Calif.
The newspaper said the group is
linked to other employees through
an advanced TI computer and tele
communications network and has
distributed hundreds of pages of
drug-testing literature.
And through a computer messag
ing system dubbed “Snicker-Net,”

Falling Comal River water level
may dry up recreation business
in New Braunfels by Labor Day
NEW BRAUNFELS (AP) — Although the hotels are
full and tourists are renting inner tubes and spending
money, those in the river-dependent recreation busi
ness say the river could dry up by Labor Day.
City officials said water levels in the spring-fed Co
mal River are the lowest since 1984, although still well
above the stagnant levels that caused the city to post
warnings at the river in ’84 because of a buildup of fecal
coliform bacteria in the water.

Normally, the constant flow of the springs flushes
out impurities, but in droughts the water’s movement
slows as the springs dry up.
Inner tube renters said they will try to squeeze as
much business as possible into the following, while hop
ing for rain to replenish the Edwards Aquifer, an un
derground limestone formation that feeds the springs.
When people call me, I do not lie to
them. I tell them what the (river) level is
and let them be the judge. It’s low, but it’s
clear and it’s tubeable.”
— Donna Brown,
Landa Trailer Park manager
“Mother Nature runs everything. Right now the Co
mal is still clean and it’s moving,” tube impresario J.R.
“Jay” Felger said, as he loaded his converted school bus
with inner tubes and prepared to shuttle some custom
ers to the river.
New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce officials said
the estimates show the city’s water recreation industry
can pump up to $22 million into the local economy.
But except, for a giant water park called the Schlitter-
tory water conservation measures contained in a New
Braunfels city ordinance.
The water levels in a New Braunfels test well were at
621 feet above sea level. The springs dry up completely
when the levels hit 619 feet, which could occur in four
weeks at the well’s current rate of decline.
“When people call me, I do not lie to them. I tell
them what the (river) level is and let them be the judge,”
said Donna Brown, who manages a riverside camp
ground, Landa Trailer Park, with her husband. “It’s
low, but it’s clear and it’s tubeable.”
