Cult town recruits Houstonians
HOUSTON (AP) — A controversial religious cult in Oregon that
recently renamed a town after its head guru has gathered 18 new
recruits from Houston’s "streets and breadlines” to help populate its
city, a group spokesman says.
The destitute residents, recruited from “the streets, the parks and
the food lines,” boarded a bus Wednesday night to head for the Ra-
jneeshpuram in central Oregon, said Swami Deva Ullas.
The commune is named after the group’s spiritual leader,
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
“1 want to get away from violent people,” drifter Art Schoenthal
told Houston television station KHOU before- he boarded the bus.
"These are the first people to really care. These people really care
and understand."
Residents of the Wasco County, Ore., town of Antelope haven’t
been so happy with the cult.
Some say commune members have taken over the area's politics,
and political leaders fear that commune members may take over
elected positions in the county during the November elections.
Board's makeup complimented
AUSTIN (AP) — The new State Board of Education is a big step
toward making Texas’ public school system one of the nation’s
finest, Gov. Mark White says.
"What we’ve tried to do is build in this 15-member board all of the
life experiences necessary for bringing this school system into
preeminence,” White said Wednesday after appointing the new
members.
“I wanted a board dedicated to improving our schools and ensur-
ing that every student, from the wealthiest to the poorest district,
receives fair and equal access to the best education this state can
provide. I have every confidence that these board members will
dedicate themselves to that goal,” he said.
The new board members, who must be confirmed by the Senate,
replace the current 27-member elected panel which got repeated
criticism from White and the Select Committee on Public
Educataion.
Although it reverts to an elected panel in four years, the new board
will implement the sweeping reforms enacted by the special session
of the Legislature this summer.

Funeral home probe requested
AUSTIN (AP) - A consumers’ organization and a group represen-
ting elderly citizens are demanding new regulations from the state
Board of Morticians and a statewide investigation into pricing prac-
tices of funeral homes.
The Consumers Union and the Gray Panthers on Wednesday also
accused the board of failing to make certain funeral home laws are
being followed.
"If funeral homes are violating the law, then it’s the duty of the
board to act. Since the board has been unwilling on their own in-
itiative to act, we are filing a formal complaint and a rule-making
petition outlining what we believe would be appropriate action,"
said Carol Barger, an attorney for the Consumers Union.
The board first came under fire last month after failing to discuss
at its regularly scheduled meeting a report prepared by board
member Grady Baskin Jr. ....

Souvenir hunt led to arrests
GAMBELL, Alaska (AP) — Five tired but smiling American
sailors said they were glad to be back on American soil today after a
week in Siberia, where they were taken by a Soviet warship that seiz-
ed their supply ship during a souvenir-hunting jaunt.
The seamen, released Wednesday in a rendezvous between an
armed Soviet icebreaker and a Coast Guard cutter in the Bering Sea.

of the 120-foot Frieda K.
With his crew by his side, Thoms spoke to a mob of reporters and
villagers Wednesday night after the freed vessel beached on
Gambell, located on St Lawrence Island about 50 miles east of the
rendezvous site where the vessel and crew were freed earlier in the
day. k
Thoms said he and the crew piloted their ship to the rendezvous,
where Coast Guard Capt Jack Billington met with the commander
of the Russian icebreaker Aisberg in the wheelhouse of the Frieda K

Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - From acid
rain and toxic waste dumps to coal
leasing and wilderness preserves,
energy and environmental issues are
on hold, and environmentalists say
it’s no accident.
“Certainly they’re on hold, until
after the elections," said Marion
Edey of the league of Conservation
Voters, the environmental move-
ment's political action committee.
"The Reagan administration has
been trying to hold them off.”
Environmentalists are opposing
President Reagan's re-election, con-
tending that his first term has been a
disaster both in dealing with existing
environmental problems and prepar-
ing for the problems of the future
They say the predominant en-
vironmental issue is Reagan himself
But Reagan has been giving them
little ammunition of late, prompting
the league to tell voters in its cam-
paign literature "not to be lulled into
a false sense of security."
With seven weeks to go before the
November election, the environmen-
tal issue was highlighted Wednesday
when Walter F. Mondale received
the Sierra Club's first-ever presiden-
tial endorsement.
Reagan has defended his en-
vironmental record as "one of the
best kept secrets in Washington "
During one of his weekly radio ad-
dresses in July, he described himself
as an environmental pioneer who as
governor of California worked to
help cleanse I»s Angeles of smog, re-
quiring the strictest auto emission
standards in the nation.
"Obviously neither the problem in
California nor those nationally have
been solved," Reagan said at the
time. "But I'm proud of having been
one of the first to recognize that
states and the federal government
have a duty to protect our national
resources from the damag.uzx'of
pollution that can accompany in-
dustrial development."
Immigration bill snag encountered
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sponsors of a landmark immigration bill
say House and Senate negotiators have hit a stumbling block that
threatens to kill the legislation they want to get through Congress
before next month's adjournment.
After making headway for several days, the conferees were
unable to reach a compromise Wednesday on a provision designed
to prevent job discrimination against legal aliens. But they offered
to keep talking on Thursday to break the impasse
"We are at a sticking point," said Sen Alan K Simpson. R-Wyo ,
the chief Senate sponsor of the measure, after debate dragged on
more than five hours.
Rep Dsn lamgren, R-IU , a leading sponsor in the House, said he
feared the failure to agree on the matter threw the future of the
legislation into question.
This is a major stumbling block." Lungren said. "There are
some who want to use this to kill the bill.'’
Japanese minister visits Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Japanese Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe
tod «y starts a four-day official visit to Mexico, marking the increas-
ingly important commercial and diplomatic relations between the
two nations.
The trip has been interpreted as a sign of Japan's growing interest
in 1 jitin America. Abe will meet with President Miguel de la Madrid
and Foreign Minister Bernardo Sepulveda during his visit
In a brief statement, the Mexican Foreign Ministry said during
Abe's conversations with Mexican officials he will "analyze aspects
of the international situation" and "evaluate the current state of the
relations between Mexico and Japan."
In diplomatic circles here it also has been mentioned that the
Japanese official will be interested in learning the Mexican point of
view about the Central American conflict.
The topic of Mexican petroleum exports will be of prime interest
during the discussions about commercial ties, since Jspan imports
sll Its crude oil while Mexico is the world's fourth largest exporter

Mondale keeps attacking

State
for America.”
Mondale, in San Francisco criticiz-
lowa, today capitalizes on a series of ing inaction on toxic waste, acid rain
presidential actions in the past week
that may aid farmers, including his
move Tuesday to increase federal
loan guarantees for farmers and to
defer repayment of some govern-
ment loans.
While the Democratic presidential
nominee was on the West Coast
sharpening his "Fighting Fritz” at-
tacks on Reagan, Vice President
George Bush was stepping up his
rhetoric too, saying the Democratic
ticket — which trails badly in most
recent polls — was desperate and
collapsing.
"These kamikaze attacks are
nothing more than the politics of
desperation of a campaign going
down in flames,” Bush said Wednes-
day night in Columbus, Ohio.
Besides his move on farm loans,
Reagan may have helped himself
among Midwestern farmers with his
move last week raising limits on
grain sales to the Soviet Union. And
his rejection of the steel industry's
request for import quotas may also
please farmers, who had feared
quotas would prompt retaliation
against U.S. farm exports.
