Doctor: Plant may
cause birth defects
PAMPA (AP) — A doctor thinks
the Hoechst Celanese Corp. chemi
cal plant in this small Panhandle
community is causing Down’s syn
drome, a genetic birth defect, in an
unusually high number of the area’s
children.
Six Down’s syndrome children
were born in Pampa from 1980 to
1985, a number the Texas Depart
ment of Health and the federal Cen
ters for Disease Control have said is
“significantly more than expected”
in a population of 25,000. The agen
cies’ investigators couldn’t find a
cause.
More than 250 people from
Pampa and nearby Kingsmill have
oined a lawsuit against Celanese, al-
eging negligence in three deaths
and numerous injuries from a 1987
explosion at its chemical plant there.
Last week, a doctor’s affidavit sub
mitted in the lawsuit being heard in
a Houston district court said chemi
cal exposure from the plant proba
bly is related to the number of
Down’s syndrome births.
On Friday, Dr. John Denko. an
Amarillo pathologist, submitted a re
port to the 125th District Court
which said “in all medical probabil
ity,” the number of Down’s cases “is
related to the environmental pollut
ants from the Celanese site.”
Another doctor told the court in a
letter obtained by the Pampa News
that in 1985 he noted “something
most unusual” in the number of
Down’s cases in Pampa.
Dr. Gerald H. Holman of the
Growth and Genetics Program for
Infants, Children and Adolescents
in Amarillo said he is very concerned
about “alarming” levels of environ
mental pollution and related health
problems.
Celanese officials repeatedly have
denied the allegations.
Vernon Hartline, an attorney for
Celanese in Dallas, said the company
has conducted its own tests which
show environmental factors have
nothing to do with the Down’s cases.
On Friday, Celanese offered find
ings by three doctors in Philadel
phia, Houston and Virginia.

Planned communities
help property values
HOUSTON (AP) — Just outside
the country’s largest city without
zoning regulations, developers are
finding planned communities are a
booming form of private zoning to
maintain property values.
At least 11 and as many as 20
planned communities have sprung
up around Houston. Developers de
fine the areas as property developed
under a master plan featuring mul
tiple uses: residential, commercial,
recreational and community func
tions.
The idea of the planned commu
nities is to separate the various uses
so that the value of residential prop
erty is not adversely affected by
nearby commercial property.
In addition, there are architectu
ral controls on building setbacks,
signs, landscaping and other details.
“The Houston Planning Commis
sion sees a need for more land con
trols,” said one of its members, Stan
U. Creech, owner of Stan Creech
Properties Inc. “People don’t like an
undesirable commercial use nfti
door to a nice home.”
Houston has no zoning ordi
nance, but land use is regulated bp
fire code, a building code, deed It
strictions and other controls. Zoniri,
ordinances are enforced in seven!
bedroom communities, however,in-
eluding Memorial Villages, Bellait
and West University Place.
But many Houstonians opp®
formal zoning, seeing it as a cosil
burden on private development.I
has been twice defeated by voters.
Planned communities, however
have surrounded Houston. Maitt
communities include The Wood
lands on the north; Kingwoodot
the northeast; Clear Lake City am!
South Shore Harbour on the solid
east near the Johnson Space Center
First Colony, New Territory as;
Greatwood on the southwest; and
Cinco Ranch, Copperfield andKel
wood on the west.
