SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Bob
Hope told thousands of cheering Air
Force trainees he has set the date for
a Christmas visit to troops deployed
to the Persian Gulf.
“I’m going over there about De
cember the 20th. I want to be there
for Christmas,” the 87-year-old en
tertainer said Sunday.
Hope made the announcement
during festivities at Lackland Air
Force Base, where a theater was re
named in his honor. Hope has enter
tained American troops overseas
since 1941.

Ward Grant, the comedian’s pub

nounced the Middle East trip, but
did not confirm the date until Sun
day.
‘‘We’re going to have a ball over
there,” Hope told about 15,000 peo
ple at the base. “I like what (Presi
dent) Bush is doing. He keeps send
ing troops over there because we’ve
got to get the message through.”
Hope said the stronger the U.S.
resence in the Persian Gulf, the less
ikely it is that Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein will turn to fighting.

AUSTIN (AP) — By mid-Jan
uary, many of the nearly 90,000 vet
erans in the Travis County area can
stop driving to Temple for Veterans
Administration health care.
By then, a new 48,000 square-foot
outpatient facility is scheduled to be
opened, offering medical, surgical,
psychiatric and dental services on a
first-come, first-served basis at re
duced cost.
The $4 million clinic, to be oper
ated by the Olin Teague Veterans’
Center in Temple, was being ded
icated Monday. Construction began
in May.
Officials said that only about
14,000 of the Austin-area veterans
are military retirees and therefore
eligible to use health services at
Bergstrom Air Force Base.
“This clinic has been needed for
many years,” said E.A. Borrell, di
rector of the Teague Center.

Officials end hearings
for racing track bids
Nerd House by Tom A. Madisoi
AUSTIN (AP) — An administra
tive hearing wrapped up Monday
into applications for a Galveston
County dog racing track, considered
by many to be one of the potentially
most lucrative in the nation.
Hearing examiner Dudley Mc-
Calla said track applicants will have
to wait another week before state of
ficials decide how to proceed from
this point.
On Monday, Nov. 5, the Texas
Racing Commission will consider
whether to have McCalla recom
mend a winner, or have him compile
the record of the hearing for the
commissioners to decide without a
recommendation.
Either method probably means
the winning application will be cho
sen Nov. 29 or mid-December, rac
ing officials said.
On Monday, the Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety submitted its
investigative reports, saying that be
cause of time constraints it was im
possible to assure that monies in
vested in each of the proposals were
obtained legally. But DPS Cmdr. Joe
Murphy said, “We found no indica
tions that would indicate otherwise.”
Last year, the Racing Commission
awarded the pari-mutuel wagering
license to Lone Star Greyhound
Park. But the losing applicants won
an appeal of that decision in court
and had the case sent back to the
commission.
Lone Star claims they won the li
cense and that the current proceed
ing is illegal. They are an applicant,
but are not participating in the hear-
ing.
New applicants include Bay Grey
hound Racing Association, which
wants to build the track in Galves
ton; Gulf Greyhound Partners and
Galveston Bay Greyhound Park are
proposing a La Marque site.
The earlier battle over the license
was marked by controversy when an
employee of Lone Star allegedly
placed a dead bird on an opponent’s
proposed site to make it appear the
area was the nesting ground for the
rare Attwater’s prarie chicken.
