    Interview Number A-0188 in the Southern Oral

    Interview number A-0188 in the Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) at The Southern Historical Collection, The Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library, UNC-Chapel Hill. Interview with Dr. Lawrence G. Goodwin, Duke University, November 18, 1974, conducted by Jack Bass, transcribed by Iinda Killen. Jack Bass: You said you had a couple of thoughts you'd like to offer at the beginning. Goodwin: You can check the figures. In 1964 Lyndon Johnson ran against Barry Goldwater the same time that Ralph Yarborough was running for re-election for the US Senate. Yarborough has become increasingly identified, in the eyes of his Texas constituents, with the pro civil rights position. It becomes a major issue in the campaign. He's running against Gordon McGlindom There are a tier of counties bordering the Sabine River, which is the border between Louisiana and Texas. The per centages will vary from county to county, but they tend to get more con servative on the Texas side the further north one goes from the Gulf of Mexico. Because as one gets further north one gets to the area of the east Texas oil field, which is a very conservative area. But by and large the counties on the Texas side of the Sabine River are voting for Ralph Yarborough at the same time, Jack, that the counties on the Louisi ana side are voting 2-1, 3-1 and 4-1 for Barry Goldwater. Now these counties are exactly the same in terms of an agricultural base and the size of the county and that sort of thing.

    The Texas Failure: a Critical Study of the Politics of Pollution in Texas

    Q~79 THE TEXAS FAILURE: A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE POLITICS OF POLLUTION IN TEXAS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE by John Chidgey, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1973 Chidgey, John, The Texas Failure: A Critical Study of the Politics of Pollution in Texas. Master of Science (Political Science), May, 1973, 184 pp., 4 illustrations, bibliography, 128 titles. The Texas Failure sets forth the thesis that environmental problems are essentially a product of political decisions and that in Texas the political system has failed to respond to environmental problems because it is dominated by polluter- oriented special interests. The argument advanced is that polluter-oriented interests are well protected by state politicians in both the legislature and the regulatory agencies of state government. The thesis is organized around an analysis of such political factors as ideology, leadership, decision making and law as they relate to a political consideration of Texas environmental conditions. The material for the thesis was gathered from state statutes, environmental studies, legislative hearings and reports, state agency reports, various wire-service and newspaper accounts and interviews with state legislators and lobbyists. Organized into six chapters, the study pin-points the salient impediments to meaningful environmental control in the Lone Star State. Chapter one describes some of the pollution conditions which exist in Texas and isolates politics as the most important consideration in finding a solution to these problems. Chapter two presents a discussion of the important religious and economic ideas, values and beliefs which have influenced the thinking of Texans as they have dealt with their environment.

Dolph Briscoe's charge that La Raza Unida is trying "to establish a Little Cuba in Texas" has once again heaved the minor- ity party into a major controversy. The object of the governor's ire is a $1.5 million federal grant made to the Zavala County Economic Development Corporation, a non-profit corporation with close ties to the Raza-dominated government in Zavala County and its county seat, Crystal City.
