HOUSTON (AP) — The opera
tors of a sweepstakes that offered to
put an American aboard the Soviet
space station were ordered Thurs
day to appear before a grand jury
following their arrest for alleged vio
lations of Texas gambling laws.
David Mayer, president of Space
Travel Services Inc., and James Da
vidson, the firm’s senior vice presi
dent, made a brief appearance at a
probable cause hearing before State
District Judge Michael McSpadden
the day after they were arrested and
their offices searched by investiga
tors from the Harris County district
attorney’s office.
“We intend to run a sweepstakes
that is legal, just like McDonald’s
does or Publisher’s Clearinghouse
does and keep law enforcement
happy,” said Arch McColl, a Space
Travel Services attorney.
McColl said a 900 telephone num
ber, which charged callers $2.99 to
enter the contest, had been sus
pended temporarily. The fee is at
the heart of the dispute with the dis
trict attorney’s office.
“You can enter the Publisher’s
sweepstakes and you don’t have to
buy books. You just mail it back in,”
said Russel Turbeville, chief of the
district attorney’s consumer fraud
division. “It’s tnat $2.99 entry fee.
Our position is that if anybody can
pay a fee, it’s a lottery.”
The contest rules provide for en
tries also to be mailed in at no
charge, which McColl contends
makes the contest legal in Texas.
“You can run a sweepstakes ‘No
purchase necessary,”’ McColl said.
“We have an alternative form. He
(Turbeville) is viewing it in a differ
ent light, and I think we’re going to
be able to persuade him that we’re
to be in compliance with the
On Valentine's
Day a very
special pizza
takes shape.
“We think the loophole is speci
ous,” Turbeville said. “A lottery like
this couldn’t be set up in Las Vegas.”
The promotion, unveiled in De
cember and billed as “The Ultimate
Adventure,” has been under investi
gation since then by the district at
torney’s office. Mayer and Davidson
were ordered to appear before a
county grand jury Dec. 19; but sub
poenas were dismissed after they
agreed to cooperate with authorities,
and they never faced jurors’ ques
tions.
McSpadden ordered the pair to
return to a grand jury within the
next two weeks. A Feb. 21 arraign
ment date was set if the jury returns
an indictment. Mayer and Davidson
remain free on $2,000 bond each.
State commission stalls Richards urges
waste permit approvals
AUSTIN (AP) — Twenty-three
permit applications for hazardous
waste disposal facilities are stalled at
the Texas Water Commission, after
Gov. Ann Richards said she’s tired of
them being “rammed through.”
A chemical industry group said
Thursday it would seek a meeting
with Richards. It blasted the Water
Commission for suspending permit
activity in an emergency meeting
Wednesday, just hours after Rich
ards called for the moratorium in
her State of the State address.
“Action was taken without a clear
presentation of the facts... This
makes no environmental sense,” said
Monte Janssen, a vice president for
the Texas Chemical Council, which
includes about 90 chemical man
ufacturers.
But environmental groups sup
port a moratorium.
Brigid Shea, state program direc
tor of Clean Water Action, said she
was “ecstatic” at the developments.
“This is sending shock waves
throughout the environmental com
munity beca\ise it’s so sweeping and
it happened so quickly,” Shea said.
Janssen said his group is not at
tacking Richards. But he said mem
bers are dismayed at the emergency
rule to suspend processing of permit
applications for the treatment, stor
age, or disposal of hazardous and
non-hazardous industrial waste by a
commercial facility.
The permit applications immedi
ately affected are for facilities in
Houston, Anahuac, Port Arthur,
Waller, Deer Park, Devers, Midlo
thian, Dayton, near Balmorhea,
Mentone, Texas City, Athens, Cor
pus Christi, Sweetwater, New
Braunfels, La Porte, Robstown and
Guy.
There is more than one applica
tion from some areas.
Harry Whitworth, Chemical
Council president, said in a
statement, “It’s easier to understand
the governor making a bad decision
like this because she’s new on the
job. But for the water commissioners
to follow her action ... is unbelieva
ble.”
Richards
Water Commission spokesman
Bill Colbert said, “We felt like it was
in the state’s best interest to respond
to her (Richards’) feelings on this
particular matter.”
The commission’s suspension is
effective until Sept. 1, to give the
Legislature time to act on a two-year
moratorium proposed by Richards.
The governor’s press secretary,
Bill Cryer, said Richards is not tied
to the two-year time period but
wants some “breathing space” so
new permit rules can be instituted.
The governor wants to ban the
placement of hazardous waste
dumps near schools, residential
areas and drinking water supplies,
and she wants to ensure residents of
a proposed disposal site get a hear
ing, Cryer said.
Janssen said the Chemical Council
wants to present its side to Richards.
He said a moratorium would in
crease the amount of waste that must
be stored by companies and prevent
the building of new facilities that will
have more up-to-date waste disposal
technology.

cleaner Texas,
wins praise
AUSTIN (AP) — A cleaner Texas
starts in the office, Gov. Ann Rich
ards told lawmakers in her State of
the State address.
“If you are using Styrofoam cups
in your office, it’s time that you
stop,” Richards said Wednesday in
advocating recycling and stronger
environmental protection.
House Speaker Gib Lewis, for
one, took her advice to heart; “I’m
going to stop using Styrofoam cups.
You never know. Little things like
that have an impact.”
Richards also won praise from the
Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra
Club for recommending:
• A two-year moratorium at the
Texas Water Commission on per
mits for new commercial hazardous
waste incinerators, cement kilns and
injection wells involving salt domes.
The commission met the same day
in emergency session to suspend ac
tion on permit applications, an ac
tion that was criticized by the Texas
Chemical Council as counterproduc
tive to economic opportunity.
• Passage of effective oil spill leg
islation.
• Banning hazardous waste facili
ties near schools, residential areas or
water supplies.
“Governor Richards made it clear
in her speech that she not only feels
that addressing environmental is
sues is the right thing to do but that
it is critical to the future of the state,"
said Ken Kramer, Sierra Club state
director.
In addition, Richards promised
that appointees to environmental
boards and commissions would be
sensitive to the environment.
Richards got some criticism after
appointing Beaumont lawyer Walter
Umphrey to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission.
