Williams: Improve trade
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Republi-
epi
can gubernatorial nominee Clayton
Williams told oil producers Tuesday
he wants to diversify the Texas econ
omy and improve trade with Mexico
and possibly Brazil and Czechoslova
kia.
Williams also said he disagrees
with an education finance reform
compromise agreed upon by Gov.
Bill Clements and lawmakers that
would raise the state sales tax.
Williams, who has oil-related busi
ness interests, told the Texas Inde
pendent Producers and Royalty
Owners Association annual conven
tion he was forced to diversify his
business when oil prices plunged.
Like private companies, the state’s
economy also needs new investment,
said Williams, who outlined four
economic goals he would pursue as
governor.
He said he will promote economic
growth by holding down taxes and
criticized Democratic gubernatorial
nominee Ann Richards, saying she
believes “tax increases are the first
answer to every problem.”
Residents suffer
foodpoisoning
Eggs tested
for bacteria
Racing tax
gets overlooked
DENTON (AP) — Tests were be
ing conducted on hundreds of eggs
from a Denton County farm to find
out if they are the source of a bacte
ria suspected of poisoning 24 Dallas
residents.
The people became ill after eating
homemade ice cream at a recent
party.
Officials of the Texas Department
of Health collected the eggs Monday
after suspecting raw eggs used in the
ice cream contained salmonella en-
teritidis, a bacteria that infects poul
try and other animals and can cause
disease in people.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture said that al
though raw or uncooked eggs have
been blamed for a growing number
of salmonella poisonings in the past
few years in the Northeast, this is the
first time eggs from a Texas supplier
have been suspected.
Dan Sowards, director of food
programs for the Texas Department
of Health, said the egg farm, which
he declined to identify, is a major
supplier in the Dallas area.
“At this point in time, if people
are eating fried eggs, I wouldn’t
worry,” Sowards said. “But I’d make
sure they’re cooked.”
Eggs from infected flocks can be
used only for pasteurization, which
kill the bacteria, the USD A says. Of
ficials said the best way to prevent
the spread of the bacteria is to elimi
nate infected flocks.
Dr. Charles Haley, chief epide
miologist for the Dallas County
Health Department, said 24 people
ate the homemade ice cream at the
Dallas party and all suffered salm
onella poisoning. Three victims were
hospitalized with severe cases of di
arrhea and high fever, he said.
There were about 220 cases of
salmonella poisoning in Dallas
County last year, he said.

Bus drivers say strike
not cause of bankruptcy
DALLAS (AP) — Striking Grey
hound drivers say union-busting tac
tics, not a strike by bus drivers, drove
Greyhound Lines Inc. into a federal
bankruptcy court.
Many of Greyhound’s striking
drivers said they’ll keep fighting for
their jobs despite Greyhound’s
Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganiza
tion filing Monday.
The company has seen ridership
and revenues plunge after most of
its 6,300 drivers walked out March 2
in a dispute over wages and job secu
rity. Greyhound listed $540 million
in debts in the Monday filing in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in South Texas.
The carrier said the sometimes-vi-
olent strike prompted the filing. The
union said it expected the reorgani
zation try.
“We’re not surprised about the fil
ing because we’ve been expecting it
all along,” Gary H. Daughrity, exec
utive board member of Local Llj
Amalgamated Council of Girj
hound Local Unions in Dallas,sar.
“A lot of us can’t figure out wh;
took so long for Greyhound tost
bankruptcy court protection." |
Michael Holden, vice presidec:
Local 1205 in Boston, said thetc
pany underestimated thestriken
“They really misjudged ther
of the people in this union and j
country. People are sick of

by the bankruptcy court.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Time
may run out in the current special
legislative session before lawmakers
vote on reducing the state tax on
pari-mutuel wagering, a horse race
advocate said Tuesday.
“I think when the legislature fin
ishes on the public school bill,
they’re going to go home,” Ricky L.
Knox, past executive director of the
Texas Horse Racing Association and
a Texas Quarter Horse Association
consultant, said.
Knox, speaking to the Texas So
ciety of Certified Public Accoun
tants, said the state should reduce its
tax from 5 percent to 1 percent for
horse racing to flourish in Texas.
Other states with successful pari
mutuel wagering have lower taxes,
he said, noting that New Jersey’s
state take is one-half of 1 percent.
Gov. Bill Clements has opened the
agenda of the current special legis
lative session on school finance re
form to other items, including the
pari-mutuel wagering issue.
Currently in Texas 5 cents of ev
ery dollar goes to the state, 5 cents to
race purses and 8 cents to track op
erations, leaving 82 cents to be re
turned to winning bettors, he said.
“Those pennies are what drives
the entire industry, because if they
get out of balance, it does not work,”
Knox said.
