Chemical council defends industrj
as explosion raises safety question
HOUSTON (AP) — Members of
the Texas Chemical Council de
fended the chemical industry Thurs
day in the wake of this week’s deadly
Phillips Petroleum Co. explosion,
saying the chemical business has one
of the best safety records in man
ufacturing.
“The chemical industry is proba
bly the safest industry in which to
work,” said Harry Whitworth, presi
dent of TCC and its related organi
zation, the Association of Chemical
Industries of Texas.
“When you look at business from
a manufacturing standpoint, the
chemical industry is in the top one or
two for safety,” said Larry Wright,
TCC chairman-elect and vice presi
dent of Texas operations for Dow
Chemical Co.
Whitworth said one reason the in
dustry has a good record is because
it is cognizant of the hazardous con
ditions and materials involved in its
production processes.
“I think our industry has the
safety record it has because it’s very
aware of the materials and tempera
tures they work with,” Whitworth
said. “When you’re dealing in high
temperatures and pressures, you put
safety at the top of the list.”
Phillips’ plastic plant explosion in.
Pasadena Monday killed at least five
people and injured 124, six critically.
Another 17 people remained miss
ing and presumed dead Thursday.
“This plant has operated safely
for 40 years,” Whitworth said of the
Phillips facility. “Occasionally, you
do have a failure.”
TV station
asks FCC not
to revoke license
DALLAS (AP) — WFAA-TV is
asking the Federal Communications
Commission to dismiss a Dallas
Times Herald request to revoke the
station’s broadcasting license.
In a petition filed Oct. 24 with the
FCC, WFAA asserts the Times
Herald request is factually incorrect,
without merit and improper under
FCC procedures.
The FCC request stemmed from
the Times Herald’s dispute with the
Dallas Morning News and A.H. Belo
Corp. — parent company of both
the Morning News and WFAA —
over rights to comics and other fea
tures provided by Universal Press
Syndicate.
The Times Herald contended
Belo was trying to use its newspaper-
television combination to undermine
newspaper competition in Dallas.
The FCC outlawed joint newspaper-
television ownership in 1975, but al
lowed it to continue in cities where it
already existed.
The FCC request followed a
Times Herald lawsuit against the
Morning News alleging the newspa
per, Belo and Universal Press im
properly agreed to transfer 26 syn
dicated features from the Times
Herald to the Morning News. That
agreement said the features might
be developed for television use.
The case is scheduled for trial
April 2, 1990.
TCC, which claims members from
about 85 chemical and petrochemi
cal companies, was scheduled to ad
dress industry safety as part of its an
nual meeting that began Thursday.
“None of us wants to be associated
with something that ends up hurting
people,” said Jim Woodrick, ACIT
chairman and regional services man
ager for Dupont. “When something
like this happens, it makes you rede
dicate yourselves to working harder
to prevent accidents.”
Woodrick said members contin
ually review safety measures and de
vices and work with employees and
communities. Such organizations as
Local Emergency Planning Comm]
tees and Community Awarenei
Emergency Response groups ihj
have been started in the past fe
years throughout the state represe;
industry and government’s concenii
about involving communities in tit
maintenance of petrochemical pri
lems, he said.
