Pollution Suit Harm Discounted
Texas Attorney General John Hill says a state water pollution suit against Houston will not destroy the city economy or growth, countering Mayor Fred Hofheinz who warns the case could halt construction and cost thousands of jobs. Hill argues responsible action will boost growth. Hofheinz seeks to block new building permits until sewer problems are tackled. The suit targets overloaded treatment plants and possible bypassing of sewage, and Hill joined the action despite objections from the Texas Water Quality Board.

Kidnap Case Prosecutors Fight Exposing Evidence
CHOWCHILLA Calif AP three men accused of abducting 26 school children and their bus driver remain jailed on 1 million bail each as prosecutors seek to avoid open court sessions until trial. A preliminary hearing for James and Richard Schoenfeld and Frederick Woods is set for Aug 26. A grand jury indictment may bypass open hearings and a gag order blocks evidence. The trio face 43 felony charges with life imprisonment for kidnapping. The bus driver Edward Ray was injured and the kids escaped from a quarry 95 miles away after 18 hours. Richard Schoenfeld sought bail reduction to 50 000 but was denied.
