Texas back to work,” Clements told students and administrators at TSTI. He said, however, that once in office he would ask directors of state agencies to list their priority pro grams and he would go from there. Because of his claims that White is scaring the poor and elderly by charging that Clements would cut social programs, the former gov ernor was asked what he would do if the head of Texas Department of Human Services said programs there were too important to cut. “We’ll look for a new executive director because there is no institu tion, whether it’s educational or commercial, that doesn’t have its priorities,” Clements said. During a campaign stop in Beaumont he said, “I find it deplor able that the governor of the state of Texas would degrade the gov ernor’s office by some of the things he’s saying and doing in his advertis ing and from his speeches. “I have a great deal of compassion and feeling about the people that are being scared and the fear ele ment introduced in this campaign. I deplore it and I think it’s a terrible thing.” U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, joined Clements at a news confer ence in Beaumont. Gramm said White was trying to stir voters away from the economic problems of the state, the main issue in the cam- paign. “Fie would like all the charges and all the negativism to turn off the working people, hoping that the people he’s trying to energize to get out and vote,” Gramm said. He continued to hammer on eco nomic issues Wednesday. At TSTI in Waco, Clements toured the biomedical, electrical and laser optics programs and heard from the program directors who said the majority of graduates had jobs waiting for them. Sid Lenoir, director of the elec trical power technology program, said graduates in his program have job offers from electric companies before they finish the 18-month program. He said the average salary is about $21,000. He also said that he has a max imum of 20 students per class and that there is room for more stu dents. “Anybody who wants to go to work has a job,” Lenoir said. Clements told Lenoir, “We have 740,000 Texans out of work and there is a retread situation here. We need to have them here and we need to retrain them for a different career.” Lenoir answered, “Bring them on, sir.” Clements said charges by White that Clements would cut the educa tion budget were not true. White has said that Clements would take money away from the Permanent University Fund to cor rect the state’s $900 million budget deficit. Church closes refugees’ home; alternate sought SAN BENITO (AP) — Casa Oscar Romero, a controversial shelter for Central American refugees, will be closed indefinitely while the Roman Catholic Church tries to find another location for it, church officials said Wednesday. Hernan Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Diocese of Brownsville, said the 528 occupants were to be bused today to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service for proces sing. The city oi San Benito asked the church in August to move the shelter, which opened in December 1982. The church moved the male refugees to the county fairgrounds but has been unable to find a new location for the shelter, Gonzalez said. The process could take up to six months, he said, so the shelter was being closed in the interim. “ We could stay at Casa Romero indefinitely, but we have been ordered by the city to vacate,” Gon zalez said. “We have not been told there are any ordinances that we violate.” San Benito City Manager Demet- rio Lucio said the aliens “definitely” will not be able to return to the Casa. The city’s main concern is for its residents, Lucio said. There have been clashes between residents and others who live in the neighborhood. He said extra police will be on duty in the area of the Casa this weekend and the sheriffs department has said it will beef up patrols in the area as well. INS Director Omar Sewell said he’s glad the shelter is closing down, calling it a “magnet” that draws Cen tral Americans to the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
