The rail company has moved the train through at least five other states but has not been able to find a landfill to place the tainted soil. The 32-car train pulled out of Sumter after authorities broke handcuffs and a chain used by the environmental activists. The three were arrested and charged with trespassing, along with three other Greeneapace members who climbed atop the train to hoist a banner. All six were freed on bail. CSX Transportation representative Norm Going refused to reveal where the train was headed, but it flew back to Columbia, S.C. northwest heeded The soil was contaminated by acrylic acid that spilled in a train derailment in July 1989 near Freeland, Mich. The chemical was bound for Midlands Dow Chemical Co. and Dow Corning Corp. in Michigan when the wreck occurred. Most of the acid burned in a subsequent fire CSX excavated soil around the deraliment site after being the ground was contaminated. Acrylic acid is a flammable substance that can cause severe burning of skin and eyes and might cause birth defects. the train has traveled through Michigan, Ohio West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee in search of a place to dispose of the dirt. The train had been on a siding in a CSX Transportation railway near Sunset since April 11 as company officials scouted for disposal sites. Greenpeace representative Bill Walker in Washington said environmental groups would continue to trail until it was sent back to Michigan. "They can run, but they can't hide," he said. The tram's cargo has generated protests in other states Bush administration urges minority voting federal rights protection for judge elections The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Bush administration, clashing with officials of Southern states, urged the Supreme Court today to apply key federal voting rights protections for minorities to the election of judges But an attorney for Louisiana said judges were not elected to represent segments of the population. office Judges are quite literally representatives within the dictionary definition of that term. Solicitor General Kenneth Stair, the administration's top courtroom lawyer, said the federal Voting Rights Act was designed to include judges as representatives covered by the law. " (Judges) are elected," Starr said. "They are candidates for public Lawyers for Louisiana and Texas disagreed. Robert Pugh, an attorney for Louisiana, said judges were elected to render justice, not to represent the interests of segments of the popula "The blindfolded lady with the sword. That's the constituency of a judge." he said. Pugh said that if the court decided judges were representatives, it would be a new decision. "If they are, they ain't been in the past." Pugh said. The court heard arguments in three cases from Louisiana and Texas that test the scope of the voting rights law and could determine the future chances of scores of African Americans and other minorities to win judicial elections The key issue is whether judicial elections are covered by a provision of the federal law that bar states from diluting the voting power of minorities. The provision has provided a big boost to minority candidates seeking election The Bush administration is supporting efforts by civil rights groups to extend the same opportunities to judicial hopefuls.
