Rate increase refusal brings truckers strike Associated Press PHARR, Tex. — A truckers strike called early today by the Produce haulers of Texas got off to a quiet start with virtually no truck traffic on Lower Rio Grande Valley hi ghways. David Goers, president of the re cently organized truckers group, said the strike was called because Valley produce shippers refused to grant a requested 25 per cent rate increase. Goers said there would be little strike activity until later in the day when trucks started loading produce for shipment to Northern markets. He has said the strike will include picketing and roadblocks and wa rned there may be violence. “If they (truckers don’t shut down, I know there’s going to be violence,” Goers said. “I hope we don’t see any violence, but we’ve got a lot of hot folks down here.”. He said truckers from Pe nnsylvania, Missouri and Arkansas are in the South Texas area to su pport the strike and he had heard reports that roadblocks might be set up on U. S. 281 and U. S. 77, the two highways leading north from the Va lley. Extra Texas Department of Public Safety units were on duty in the Pharr area and on U. S. 77 near Ra- ymondville, but no incidents were reported. The DPS director. Col. Wilson E. Speir, said his department will not get involved in the strike but it is the department’s responsibility “to prevent any infringement on the free and open use of our highway system, to prevent violence and to provide protection to lives and pr operty.” “We will therefore take such ac tion as is necessary to keep the roads open and to protect against lawless ness,” Speir said. In a letter circulated to truckers, Mike Parkhurst, editor of Overdrive Magazine, told truckers they should “stay the hell out of the McAllen- Pharr area if you want to keep your trucks running. ” Willis Deines of the Texas Citrus and Vegetable Growers and Sh ippers Association says Valley gr owers cannot afford to pay the rate increase, but he said the strike could be damaging. THE BATTALION Page 3 THURSDAY, NOV. 20, NY governor pressures legislature Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — In the face of an “after-you-then-me” signal from President Ford, Gov. Hugh Carey is pressuring the legislature for quick action on a New York City tax increase he says is necessary to se cure federal aid to help the city avert default. But the prospects for those taxes were mired in partisan squabbling today with Democrats opposing a city sales-tax increase and Re publicans apparently opposing all al ternatives to a sales tax. The negotiations on the issue, which were expected to take most of today in the state legislature’s spec ial session, are working against a po tential deadline as early as next Tu esday, when the city could face de fault on some of its obligations. President Ford said Wednesday he would favor no federal aid until the state and city do more to “move toward fiscal responsibility” and that he would veto a compromise aid bill under study in the House, which he called “irrelevant.” With that an nouncement, Congressional leaders stopped work on loan-guarantee le gislation to help the city, and the Congress is due to begin a week- long Thanksgiving recess at the end of this week. However, Carey said he was “co nfident” the state would find a so urce for a crucial $150 million bo rrowing needed to hurdle Tuesday’s problems and keep the city afloat until Dec. 11, a date which he said would give Congress “plenty of time to act.” Ford issued a statement from the White House declaring that al though he cannot now reverse his previous opposition to federal help, he will review the situation early next week to see if the city and state have done enough to warrant a ch ange in his position. Ford administration sources said in Washington that the President wanted the state legislature to enact $200 million in new city taxes to trim the size of the city’s budget gap, and that if it did so he might approve some sort of aid. Carey, who had been in Wa shington most of the week lobbying in Congress, flew back to Albany after Ford’s announcement. Point ing to the President’s promise to re consider his stand if the state takes more action, Carey said “we’re going to take him up on it,” and began a series of meetings with le gislators to press for action. He said he would defer action on tax increases to close what he es timates is a $600 million state bu dget gap until after the city tax ques tion is resolved. The state taxes are therefore not expected to come up until next month. But although both Republicans and Democrats in the legislature expressed a willingness to pass some sort of a tax increase for the city, they were drawing hard partisan lines over the question of which taxes should be increased. Fired editor requests Breedlove’s removal Battalion Classified Call 845-2611 In an appearance before the St udent Publications Board We dnesday, a former Battalion sports editor asked for the dismissal of the editor who fired him. Tony Gallucci told the board that Battalion Editor James Breedlove was not popular with the staff and that his image was weakened by the quality of the newspaper. The board, an advisory and policy-making body for The Battal ion, Aggieland and campus di rectory, found no cause for Br eedlove’s dismissal, but . un animously decided to hold an ex ecutive session later to consider Ga- llucci’s charges. Board Chairman Bob G. Rogers told Gallucci that he saw no cause for Breedlove’s dismissal and that the charges were vague and a matter of opinion. Gallucci objected to the pr ocedure that led to Breedlove’s ap pointment as editor. He claimed Breedlove had no working or pr actical knowledge of the newspaper.
