The Austin American-Statesman Page B2 Austin, Texas Saturday, July 30, 1977 A Hill charges deception in chinchilla farm ads of urine because of their confinement.

Instead of the "top quality" animals promised in home solicitations, many of the chinchillas delivered are diseased or unsuitable for breeding or pelting, the suit maintains. The attorney general's Consumer Protection Division also takes issue with the company's claim that chinchillas can be raised in a spare room, garage or basement with little time and care.

The three Lockhart residents have filed suit in federal district court in Austin, asking that Lock-hart's municipal election system be changed. The suit was filed against Mayor Pat Kirksey, all current members of the city council, and City Secretary Margaret Kulms. Kulms was included in the suit since the city secretary conducts municipal elections. Cano and Rangel have both been candidates for positions on the council, while lslas was among a large field of candidates who sought to be appointed to the council seat vacated by the resignation of Wayne Hartzog in May.

The three allege in the suit that Mexican-Americans in Lockhart have long suffered from the "effects of discrimination in the fields of education, employment, politics, economics, housing, and the like."
