DALLAS (AP) — Southwest National Bank of Houston was closed Thursday and its insured deposits will be trans ferred to Spring (Texas) National Bank, federal regulators said. Southwest National Bank, with total assets of about $16.9 million, was closed by Judith A. Walter, senior deputy comp troller of the currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was named receiver, read in a statement by Caryl Aus trian, an FDIC spokeswoman in Washington. “The failed bank’s Southwest Freeway branch will not re open,” the statement said. “Insured depositors will have ac cess to their funds at the former main office of the failed bank on Friday ...” Checks drawn on the failed bank’s accounts up to the insur ance limit on Thursday were to be honored, the statement said. The closing brings to 176 the number of failed banks in the nation this year, with 102 of those in Texas. “The board of directors of the FDIC decided to arrange an insured deposit transfer because of an inability to determine the value of the assets,” the statement said. pay I The FDIC said that at the time the bank closed, its dtps totaled about $16.5 million in 1,600 deposit accounts, m;. ing about $400,000 in 21 accounts exceeding thefete: surance limit of $100,000. k’ WACO (A Uninsured depositors and non-deposit creditors will!!(j||j rant ycaff’s proportionately with the FDIC in proceeds related fiDB^B/ 0U id become liquidation of the failed bank’s assets, the statement said University Hwercd the cal Insured depositors in the failed bank can automatically;/ wilderness — tinue to conduct their banking transactions with the acw practice field ; bank, the statement said, but should visit the acquiringb® the world ar discuss the continuation of their banking relationship.

The Texas senator said he does not want a difficult relationship with any new Republican administration, but that the “concentration on negative advertis ing, that doesn’t become a mandate to the American people. ” “That makes it more difficult,” Bent sen said. “You don’t have any so-called honeymoon. It would be an awfully short one, if you had that. ’ ’ Bentsen, who is chairman of the Sen ate Finance Committee, said as president Bush might have particular trouble per suading Congress to accept his campaign promise of a reduction in the top-bracket capital gains tax rate from 33 percent to 15 percent. Bentsen said the proposal would bene fit mostly the wealthy and was regarded as a violation of the agreement behind the 1986 tax overhaul law. Bentsen was interviewed in the lounge of a luxury bus he used Thursday to stump for middle-class votes in the rural Officials foresee record turnout in absentee vote area of Texas near the Louisiana and Ai- kansas borders. Two other buses and a few cars and pickup trucks chased the candidate’s ve hicle through Longview, Daingcrfield. Mount Pleasant, Paris and Sulphur Springs. East Texas is rich in pro-Rca- gan Democrats that party nominee Mi chael Dukakis must win in his bid for the state’s 29 electoral votes in Tuesday’s balloting. “I’m fighting for middle-income America and I’m standing up for middle- income America,” Bentsen told several hundred supporters in Longview. “When I’m vice president of the United States, and Michael Dukakis is president of the United States, we’ll meet with the press on a regular basis,” he said. “And there’s something else we’ll do. We’ll meet with the folks, we’ll meet with middle-income America,” he «"id. “That’s the kind of accountability want from your elected reprcsentativB] he said, stressing the Democrats sibility to voters and the media.

Ironically e AUSTIN (AP) — Huge numbers of Texans are voting absentee before Fri day’s deadline, and some officials be lieve as much as 25 percent of the statewide total might be cast before Elec tion Day arrives, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday. “It’s been phenomenal,” said Jim Warren, spokesman for Secretary of State Jack Rains. “We’ve been meeting with county clerks and talking to them on the phone, and they’re reporting unusu ally large numbers of people voting ab sentee.” Rains earlier this week predicted a re cord turnout of 5.98 million votes, or 73 percent of those registered, for this elec tion. With as many as 100,000 absentee ballots alreay having been cast in some of the largest counties, Warren said, “Some county clerks believe as much as a quarter of the vote statewide will be cast through the absentee process. ” Final absentee ballot totals should be known by Monday, he said. Absentee voting began Oct. 19, and Texans have been casting ballots in a nearly three-week-long “election pe riod” rather than on a single Election Day, noted Randy Erben, assistant secre tary of state. The high absentee participation is be ing attributed to a 1987 change in voting law that is being used in a major election for the first time. That change eliminated the old requirement that people give an excuse before voting absentee. Absentee polling places have been set up in shopping malls, community centers and other locations much easier to reach than county courthouses. Another factor is the presence of a Texan on each party’s ticket — Republi can presidential candidate George Bush and Democratic vice presidential nomi nee Lloyd Bentsen both call Houston home. And, both parties have conducted ab sentee voting campaigns among their loyalists. Mark Sanders, spokesman for Bush’s Texas campaign, said that by Thursday night every person who cast a ballot in the Republican primary will have been called, told about absentee voting and given the absentee polling place nearest their homes. “We’ve never done any thing like this before in the state,” Sand ers said. Ed Martin, executive director of the Texas Democratic Party, said a similar drive was conducted by that party. “Ev ery contact, phone calls, all the mailings have reminded people of it,” Martin said. AUSTIN (AP) — The state Republi can Party chairman predicted Thursday that George Bush’s strength among Tex ans would boost GOP candidates down ‘ the ballot and said Democratic charges of voter intimidation are “a standard dirty trick.” As Tuesday’s election approaches, GOP boss Fred Meyer also said he ex pects the party to pick up five to 10 seats in the Texas House and predicted that a major philosophical realignment of Texas voters could occur. “This is going to be a watershed year in Texas politics, the time the Republi can Party really comes into its own from the courthouse to the White House,” Meyer said. For the first time, he said, there are sharp differences between “conserva tive” Bush and “liberal” Democrat Mi chael Dukakis that show up in positions taken by each presidential hopeful. “This year, with the difference of po sition on the important issues to Texans like taxes, gun control, on aid to the free dom fighters (in Nicaragua), strong na tional defense, tough on crime, all those things . . . We now have a very sharp split. “We think that’s going to be reflected up and down the ballot,” Meyer said. Meyer said he expects to add toll party’s 56 seats in the Texas Hois reaching between 61 and 66 for the ID! Legislature. “We’ve got good candidates, mic better candidates than we’ve ever ham fore,” he said. If the GOP doesn'tgt House scats this year, he said, “We»% have missed a great opportunity.” ; Democratic leaders in recent fc have accused Republicans of tryingtoE timidate minority voters, particular!;.:• the Rio Grande Valley, to keep k from voting. Meyer denied GOP involvemenl it said he wasn't surprised by the acciid tion. “Democrats reach down into the tv tom of their bag every election and if two things: they charge racisim andm charge voter intimidation . . . Thisisl standard dirty trick. It happens evaf election, particularly it’s happeningifj year, 1 think, because they’re prettyd»| perate.” To help that effort, the state party will spend $125,000 on a radio advertisement from now until Tuesday’s election that features President Reagan urging Texans to vote Republican. Consultant Karl Rove said Texas is one of four or five states where Reagan has made such ads. Three Spanish-language telcvsion ads aimed at Hispanic voters also will begin airing Friday, Meyer said. In other political developments Iliac day: • Attorney General Jim Mattox he would have assistants in severalc» on alert Election Day to answer any leti questions over election laws at p places around the state. “We want to ensure that this imp: tant election is conducted fairly and the utmost integrity. There must be® attempts to intimidate or threaten vd! ers,” said Mattox, a Democrat. Mattox said his assistant attorn?'' general would be on duty in Austin,! las, El Paso, Houston, McAllen, Mf shall and San Antonio. Wildlife commission OKs oyster management plan AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved an oyster management plan Thursday that officials said is a step toward protecting the oyster from depletion and making the oyster industry more profitable. Before approving the plan, commis sioners addressed concerns expressed by some seafood industry members and added a provision for an advisory com mittee. The committee, which will in clude industry representatives, will help develop specific regulations implement ing the plan’s guidelines. With practical input from fishermen combined with scientific data, the com mission wants to find a way to benefit commercial oystering “but at the same time protect the resource from overhar vesting, from pollution” and other possi ble damage, said Richard Morrison of Clear Lake City, commission vice chair man. “It’s twofold, I think - to try to guar antee that the oyster fisherman is going to have a resource to look to for income, but at the same time protect and propa gate that resource through management practices so that it will be there for fc and for Texas in the coming ; Morrison said. Among the items addressed int are possession limits, restriction of % harvest of oysters to specific time p& ods, closed areas, licenses, penaft stocking and habitat restoration, i nance and enhancement. The Legislature in 1985 gave the coc mission the authority to regulate oyster fishery in Texas bays. PreparaM of the Oyster Fishery Management Pl^ and an economic impact analysis was® quired before existing regulations changed. Thomas Hulls of Kemah, president the Texas Oyster Association, said! group had objected to the plan becafl members did not feel there was enoffl chance for industry input and review. .omi ISBISi If the advisory committee works w way it is meant to, Hulls said, it woW resolve such objections and lead to E proved relations between the indusf and Parks and Wildlife Department.
