Historical Commission has
designated Angleton, New
Braunfels and Glen Rose as
1991 Texas Main Street Cities.
Also, at its quarterly meeting
in Round Top, Texas, the com-
mission designated Abilene,

military experts were flying
home to Moscow today.
Meanwhile, a published
report today quoted U.S. offi-
cials as saying if there is an
allied assault on Kuwait by sea,
Iraq plans to blow up several
oil tankers. The report in the
Washington Times said three
tankers are anchored near the
Saudi Arabian coast, and there
may be others as well. The
information was attributed to
Pentagon, military and intelli-
gence officials, who were not
named.

In Washington, oil experts
told U.S. lawmakers that the
outbreak of war over Iraq’s
refusal to relinquish Kuwait
could triple oil prices to $100 a
barrel — causing gasoline
prices to rise to $3 a gallon.
Washington did not immedi-
ately comment on the offer of
holiday visits for the hostages,
which came Wednesday from
an Information Ministry
spokesman in Baghdad.

By The Associated Press
Faced with heightened talk
of war and vehement com-
plaints about its treatment of
American hostages, Iraq is
offering to let relatives visit the
captives for the holidays.
Meanwhile, aboard the
amphibious assault ship USS
Iwo Jima today, Navy sailors
and Marines held a somber
memorial service for 10 mates
killed in a boiler room steam
leak. Tuesday’s accident was
the worst suffered by the Navy
since Operation Desert Shield
began in August.
Iraq is holding hundreds of
Westerners at strategic instal-
lations as shields against a
feared attack. In letters
released today by a U.S. offi-
cial, two of the captive Ameri-
cans described their isolation
and anxiety.
"You can survive. But indivi-
dually interned, (one) must be
psychologically capable of liv-
ing alone within himself,” said
one of the letters.
It ended with a plea: “Please
do not forget the guest hos-
tages.” Iraq refers to the cap-
tives as guests.
The names of the letter-
writers were not released for
security reasons. The letters
The Iraqi spokesman said
foreigners were not being
mistreated.
"The safety of all diplomatic
premises and staff and the
American Embassy in Baghdad
and the former American
Embassy in Kuwait are guaran-
teed,” he said, speaking on con-
dition of anonymity.
The U.S. and British embas-
sies in Kuwait, which Iraq
seized on Aug. 2 then annexed,
are the sole Western missions
defying Baghdad’s orders to
close. There have been reports
that the isolated diplomats are
running out of food.
"Our people inside are being
starved by a brutal dictator,”
Bush told reporters in Alexan-
dria, Va. "And do you think I’m
concerned about it? You’re
darn right I am.”
He expressed disappoint-
ment that the U.N.-ordered
embargo on trade with Iraq has
not had more impact, but said
he is still willing to wait out
Saddam.

Doyle said CCISD, Temple
and San Marcos are leading the
way in Texas for the implemen-
tation of OBE. The change in
the structure of the school sys-
tem, that basically has not
changed in over a 100-year per-
iod, is necessary for youngster’s
growing up in today’s world, he
said.
"Present day schools are not
designed for everybody to fin-
ish,” he said.
Doyle said OBE is built
around that concept that “kids
will not be allowed to fail. The
whole concept is that every kid
can be successful to the best of
his or her ability. While we are
giving the struggler an oppor-
tunity to make a passing grade,
the really sharp kids are being
given the opportunity to get into
some real thinking skills.”
The superintendent pointed
out that nationwide only one-
third of the students enrolled in
the schools actually get a good
education. He said another
third simply get a diploma and
the final third “dropout.”
"Dropouts cost the nation
$2.8 billion a year in lost pro-
ductivity and unpaid taxes,"
Doyle said.
Doyle pointed out that the
cost of education is increasing
while test scores are
decreasing.
In CCISD, Doyle said, only 30
percent of the seniors are tak-
ing the SATtest and only 16 per-
cent of those are passing the
SATtests. Districtwide, he said,
CCISD TEAMS scores are a
little below average.
"I subscribe to the theory
that if you always do what you
have always done, that is what
you will always get,” Doyle said.
Doyle announced special
plans to shuttle educators
attending the OBE banquet to
the Calhoun High School Sand-
crabs football game on Friday,
Nov. 9. Nov. 9 sessions will be
held between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. at the high school. The day
will end with the banquet being
held at the Bauer Community
Center. Saturday, Nov. 10 ses-
sions will be held between 8
a.m. to 2:40 p.m.
The public is invited to
attend. Registration fee is $145
per person.

A spokesman for the Iraqi
government insisted Wednes-
day that diplomats in Kuwait
and other foreigners were
“well-treated and all receive
good care.”
The Iraqi offer of holiday vis-
its came just hours after Presi-
dent Bush said he was fed up
with the treatment of American
diplomats in occupied Kuwait.
Iraqi troops who are trying to
starve them out of the U.S.
Embassy.
Also causing concern were
new expressions of pessimism
from U.S. allies. Egyptian Pres-
ident Hosni Mubarak and a
British commander said Wed-
nesday that war now seems
increasingly likely.
But a Soviet envoy who met
twice last month with Saddam
Hussein says the Iraqi presi-
dent is more open to a peaceful
settlement than he was in early
October.
Yevgeny Primakov also said
Wednesday that Iraq agreed
that 2,500 Soviet citizens can
leave Iraq before the end of
November. He said 34 Soviet

WASHINGTON (AP) — For-;
mer Housing Secretary Samuel
Pierce directed federal grants
to political friends and later
misled Congress about his *
involvement, congressional
investigators said today.
Their report stopped short of ‘
concluding Pierce committed
perjury before a House panel;
or that he and others at the;
agency violated criminal laws.
It said those questions would
be left to the special prosecutor
now investigating Pierce.
But the report, the result of a
House subcommittee'!
16-month investigation of th®
Reagan administration’s
Department of Housing and
Urban Development, said Pier-
ce concealed the extent of hi6
involvement in the steering of
federal housing grants.
"At best, Secretary Piere
was less than honest and misled
the subcommittee about hs
invovlement in abuses and
favoritism in HUD funding
decisions,” the report said. 33
