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.

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.
