TWA sells
London flight
at $110 million
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Transportation Department on
Thursday approved the sale of
Trans World Airlines’ Chicago-Lon-
don routes to American Airlines for
$110 million.
TWA has asked for approval to
sell at least seven of its London
routes to American. The depart
ment said the other proposals re
main under consideration.
The $110 million from the Chi-
cago-London sale gives TWA a cash
infusion that will “improve TWA’s
strength in the domestic market
place, thereby enhancing domestic
airline competition,” the department
said.
The sale is opposed by Sen. John
Danforth, R-Mo., who has asked the
Justice Department to investigate it
for possible violation of federal anti
trust laws. The Justice Department
has not reported its findings, a Dan
forth spokesman said Thursday.
Earlier, Danforth wrote a letter to
Transportation Secretary Samuel
Skinner to complain about the sale
of TWA’s Chicago-London route.
Grand jury indicts law officer in drug ring case
LUBBOCK (AP) — A second
Texas law officer has been indicted
for knowing about a massive West
Texas drug ring but not reporting it
to authorities.
Acey Van Steel, 40, a Texas De
partment of Public Safety trooper
stationed at Eastland, resigned
Wednesday a few hours before an
indictment was returned by a federal
grand jury in Lubbock. The drug
ring allegedly distributed metham-
phetamine as far away as Florida.
“Of course DPS never approves of
anyone violating the law,” DPS
spokesman Mike Cox said Thurs
day. “But he is under our system of
innocent until proven guilty. (Steel)
is no longer an employee so I don’t
think it is appropriate to comment
any further. It’s up to the courts
now.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dick
Baker said the indictment accuses
Steel of knowing about the drug ring
from Nov. 16 to Dec. 4, 1990, but
not reporting it.
A federal affidavit also accuses
Steel of using DPS computers to
identify an undercover police car
used in watching the drug ring’s ac
tivities.
The federal grand jury also in
dicted former Eastland County
Sheriff Dee Hogan, 59, on a charge
of obstructingjustice.
Hogan was arrested Jan. 11 on the
charge, but released Jan. 23 on a
personal recognizance bond that
prohibits him from returning to
Eastland County. Hogan was re
quired to resign as sheriff as a condi
tion of his release.
Restaurant Report
The restaurants listed below were inspected by the
Brazos County Health Department between Jan. 21
to 25. Information is from a food service establish
ment inspection report.
SCORED BETWEEN 100 AND 95:
Domino’s Pizza 2015 Texas Ave. Score — 98.
Points were deducted for unclean non-food contact
surfaces and unclean walls and ceiling. It was a regu
larly scheduled inspection.
Wendy’s 202 Southwest Parkway. Score — 97.
Points were deducted for improper maintenance of
non-food surfaces, inadequate construction and re
pair of walls and ceilings and unshielded light fix
tures. It was a regularly scheduled inspection.
SCORED BETWEEN 94 AND 90:
An Nam Tea House 103 Boyette St. Score — 93.
Points were deducted for improper food protection
during storage, inadequate single-service articles,
unclean non-food contact surfaces, improper hand
drying facilities, litter on the premises and unneces
sary articles in the restaurant. It was a regularly
scheduled inspection.
Pelican’s Wharf 2500 Texas Ave. South. Score —
93. Points were deducted for improper thawing of
potentially hazardous food, inadequate storage of
food (ice) dispensing utensils, unclean non-food con
tact surfaces, improper maintenance of plumbing
and inadequate hand drying facilities. It was a regu
larly scheduled inspection.
Burger Boy 301-C Patricia. Score — 90. Points
were deducted for improper food protection during
storage, unclean non-food contact surfaces, inade
quate storage of food (ice) dispensing utensils,
poorly accessible toilet and handwashing facilities
and improper hand drying facilities. It was a regu
larly scheduled inspection.
SCORED BETWEEN 89 AND 85:
Los Nortenos 205 South Main. Score — 86. Points
were deducted because of improperly labeled food,
potentially hazardous food improperly thawed, im
proper storage of potentially hazardous foods dur
ing storage (major violation), unclean non-food con
tact surfaces, unclean wiping clothes and inadequate
hand cleansers and hand drying devices. It was a
regularly scheduled inspection.
Cenare 404 E. University Drive. Score — 86.
Points were deducted for inadequate food protection
during storage, poor hygienic practices, inadequate
hair restraints, inadequate hand cleansers, inade
quate repair of walls and ceiling, unnecessary articles
on premises, unmaintained non-food contact sur
faces, inadequate hand drying devices and unclean
walls and ceilings. It was a regularly scheduled in
spection.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the de
partment, said restaurants with scores of 95 or above
generally have excellent operations and facilities. He
said restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson said, because
restaurants can get the same score by having several
minor violations or a few major violations. He said
the minor violations can be corrected during the in
spection. Point deductions or violations in the report
range from one point (minor violations) to five
points (major violations).
Jefferson said the department might close a res
taurant if the score is below 60, the personnel have
infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks adequate re
frigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building
or the restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization
for the food equipment.
Authorities find
4 burned bodies
near Mexico
ALTO BONITO (AP) — A bullet-
riddled van containing four bodies
burned beyond recognition was
found in rural Starr County about
10 miles from the Mexican border,
officials said Thursday.
Sheriff Eugenio Falcon said there
was a “high probability” the slayings
are drug-related. “Those type of kill
ings, it’s a real possibility,” Falcon
said.
Peace Justice Jose Venecia said
the four bodies were burned so com
pletely they were difficult to iden
tify.
“They were so burned up that
even the bones smash to bits when
you pick them up,” Venecia said.
