High Marsh Waters Aid Gators Lives
CAMERON, La. (A*)—Unusu
ally high marsh water helped
thousands of Louisiana alligators
literally trying to save their skins
from trappers Monday, the open
ing day of the state’s second ex
perimental alligator season.
The alligators were there in
droves—an estimated 75,000 on
the marsh land open for hunting
—and the trappers were ready
and able to catch them.
The only problem from the
trappers’ standpoint, however,
was that high water left over
from tropical storm Delia and
several days of steady rain had
made it easier for the water-lov
ing reptiles to range farther away
from their normal haunts.
The very nature of the alliga
tor season made it difficult for
officials to give exact numbers
since hunters are not required
to come in to have their hides
tagged until the season ends Sept.
28.
Richard Yancey, assistant di
rector of the Louisiana Wild Life
and Fisheries Commission, said it
was slow going because of the
high water and said it would take
several days for the water to
drop.
However, Yancey said he saw
no possibility of the season be-
‘Made in Mexico 9 Labels
Mean Quality Products/
SAN ANTONIO hP> — The
largest Mexican trade exhibit
ever held outside of Mexico
opened here Monday and the di
rector of the Mexican Foreign
Trade Institute said the “made
in Mexico” label means quality.
“We have no doubt in our mind
that we are competitive in price
and quality,” said Dr. Julio Faes-
ler shortly after he joined other
Mexican and Texas officials at
the inauguration of the Mexico
Trade Fair in the San Antonio
Convention Center.
More than 250 Mexican manu
facturers, representing industries
ranging from textiles and furni
ture to electronics and heavy in
dustry are participating in the
exhibit.
“We are diversifying our in
dustries to diversify our mar
kets,” Faesler said, explaining
that Mexico’s balance of trade
with the United States has suf
fered chronic deficits throughout
the years.
“During the first seven months
of 1973,” he said, “our deficit
with the United States was close
to $600 million.” He noted that
nearly 34 per cent of the Mexi
can exports to the United States
is made up of manufactured prod
ucts.
“We must make up the defi
cit,” Faesler said. “The way to
do it is not to buy less from the
United States, but to sell more
and that is the purpose of this
fair.”
The fair grew out of talks held
during President Luis Echever-
ria’s visit to this South Texas
city last year.
Faesler said that San Antonio,
a city with a Mexican tradition
and a heavy Mexican-American
population, was ideal as a distri
bution center of Mexican prod
ucts in the Southwestern United
States.
The fair is sponsored by the
Foreign Trade Institute, an agen
cy created by President Echever-
ria two years ago to boost Mexi-

on common sense,” said Lewis.
“At the same time it is based on
law, is legal and binding and a
sophisticated process.”
Lewis also said that it is al
most impossible to appeal a case
after it has been arbitrated. “This
can only be done if one can prove
bias on the part of the arbitra
tor, prejudice on the part of the
system or a gross miscalculation
of the facts.”
“Arbitration is not going to
take care of all the problems the
Better Business Bureau encoun
ters,” said Lewis. “It is not an
infallable system. But it is def
initely a service of the bureau in
order to save time, money and
publicity.”

“We are confident the fair will
be a success,” Faesler said.
“Even before we opened we al
ready had committments from
businessmen interested in buying
Mexican products. U. S. banks
also have shown a great deal
in financing the transactions. We
already have 1,600 buyers regis
tered at the fair.
“We are offering Mexico’s
products and stressing quality
and competitiveness,” he added.
“We are showing Mexican as the
'uncommon market’.” In recent
years, he added, Mexico has in
creased considerably its exports
to Europe, Asia and Latin Amer
ica.
The fair will last a week, but
a contact office will be opened
on a permanent basis.
Texas Gov. Dolph Brisco was
present at the inauguration cere
monies along with Mexican Am
bassador Jose Juan de Olloqui.
“All Texas should be proud
that San Antonio was chosen as
the center of the fair,” Briscoe
said, “Because of the bond San
Antonio has with the Republic
of Mexico.”
ing extended even if the take is
below what conservation officials
had anticipated.
Each alligator killed during the
season must be tagged with a
special tag supplied by the wild
life commission.
Yancey said the number of
tags issued would limit the maxi
mum possible number of alliga
tors killed to 8 per cent of the
total in the two Louisiana par
ishes opened for hunting—about
6,000.
He pointed out that less than
half the maximum number were
killed last year, but said the num
ber this season apparently would
more nearly approach the maxi
mum since there seemed to be in
creased participation on the part
of landowners and trappers.
Last year’s take resulted in
payments of approximately $75,-
000 to the landowners and trap
pers and Yancey said that figure
should be higher this year.
Last year’s season opened to
cries of dismay from environmer,
talists, upset because alligator;
were on the endangered species
list.
“Some of those in opposite
last year felt it would stimulate
illegal poaching, but fortunately
that didn’t happen,” said Yancey
adding that wildlife agents trat.
ed the skins to their eventual
markets to ensure no illegal pelts
were slipped in.
“This year we’ve seen no it.
dication there is any illegal hunt,
ing going on,” he said.
Yancey also said the hunting
season could be beneficial to tit
gator population.
“Landowners are getting somt
revenue now for the skins,” It
said. “And this greatly stimulates
their interest in maintaining a
favorable population in their
marsh.”
Secret Military Ground
