Texas governor
expands list of
disabled counties
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) -
Gov. Bill Clements completed a two-
day helicopter tour of South Texas
yesterday and expanded his disaster
declaration to include nine counties
raked by Hurricane Allen's winds,
torrential rains and near-record tides.
Clements said, however, that
"although we suffered significant
damage, it was nowhere as extensive as
we thought it would be."
"I'M EXTREMELY surprised," he
said. "We are truly blessed."
Although damage was expected to
run into tens of millions of dollars,

Clements said he could not venture an
estimate until he receives, detailed
reports from each county.
He urged local officials to expedite
the damage reports so that his disaster
declaration could be extended to
request federal assistance in replacing
highways, bridges and other public
facilities.
ALLEN, ONCE described as the
second strongest hurricane of the cen-
tury when it roared across the Carib-
bean, headed toward Texas with 175
mph winds. But it disintegrated after
stalling at the mouth of the Rio Grande
and finally slammed ashore at a spar-
sely populated area between Corpus
Christi and Brownsville. Two elderly
people drowned after failing to heed
warnings to evacuate.
The governor told about 100 city and
county officials at the Corpus Christi
airport that "all of us are committed
and dedicated to helping solve these
problems" caused by the hurricane.
Clements added Arkansas, Brooks,
and Hidalgo counties to his previous
disaster declaration for Nueces, Jim
Wells, Kleburg, San Patricio, Cameron
and Willacy counties. This made
residents of the Coastal Bend area im-
mediately eligible for three per cent
loans to put their homes and businesses
back in order,
MOST OF THE flooding had receded
in the Lower Rio-Grande Valley by late
last night but Edinburg, which
traditionally has drainage problems,
was still under several feet of water.
Mayor Ronald Case said in Edinburg
that "the downtown district is still un-
der water.Some businesses are trying
to pump itout but there is no place for it
to go, Many, many areas in the residen-
tial section still have four feet of water
in the homes."
Coast Guard Petty Officer Dan
Dewell said efforts continued to free
two Liberian oil tankers grounded near
Port Aransas with a combined 857,000
barrels of crude oil aboard.
Owners of the two ships were
preparing to pump the oil out and
refloat the vessels.

Oman charged with
murder-rape sche-me
TIBURON, Calif. (AP) - A 56-year-
old widow who had dated the city aitor-
ney became so jealous when he married
another woman that she tried to hire an
ex-convict to rape the man's new wife
and kill her unborn baby, according to
charges filed-by the district attorney.
Marrian Peters Comstock, a former
administrative assistant for this water-
front suburb north of San Francisco,
faces - arraignment Friday on
charges that she solicited a man known
locally as "the bus stop rapist" to
commit assault and forcible rape on 29-
year-old Sharon Conn.
MAXIMUM PENALTY if convicted
on both soliciting charges would be four
years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
"I'm not even sure I've heard about
this in a soap opera,"-said Marin Coun-
ty District Attorney Jerry Herman.
"It's the only case of this type I'm
familiar with in this county and I've
been here for 15 years . . . Jealousy.
That would certainly appear to be the
motive,"
Conn was married last April to
Robert Conn, who had reportedly been
a close companion of Comstock for
several years before his wedding.
COMSTOCK, WIDOW of a Santa
Rosa attorney, is free on $2,500 bail. She
is employed as a public relations officer
for a San Francisco firm, said Marin
County sheriff's detective Richard
Keaton.
The Conns and Comstock were all
unavailable for comment.
Keaton said Comstock and Conn had
close personal contact "until the young
lady Sharon Conn came around."
According to the affidavit 'used to
secure Mrs. Comtock's arrest warrant
Sunday, she tried to hire by telephone a
convicted sex offender named Hansel
Smith, 30, to commit the assault and
infanticide.
It was not known how much money
allegedly was offered.
