Battalion photo by Ken Agorichas United Press International AUSTIN — Members of the Texas Farmers Union say the state “oil gang” manipulated the House defeat of a bill that would have pro hibited corporations and foreign interests from owning agricultural land in Texas. Reps. Matt Garcia, D-San An tonio, and Bob Davis, R-Irving, said the bill by Rep. L.P. Patterson, D-Brookston, would set a bad pre cedent in international relations since many countries allow Ameri cans or American corporations to own land. The bill was defeated Wednesday, 72-65. “I think this would be a slap in the face of these countries,” Garcia said. But Ron Butler, state secretary of the farmers union, said American Petrofina and Shell Oil exerted strong pressure against the bill in committee hearings because they have considerable corporate stock owned by foreign investors. The measure would have prohib ited the sale of agricultural land to non-permanent residents of the U.S. or to corporations that had more than 20 percent of their stock owned by non-Americans. “Since there is little concern about exported petrodollars return ing to buy up our Texas farmland — and considering the one-time inter est by foreign royalty to purchase the Alamo — I wonder how state officials would react to putting up the governor’s mansion for sale to the highest foreign bidder,” Butler said. Butler said 11 other slal!j| strong laws against f ship of their land but “owl! ers cow down to the oil 5 another clear indication tla] companies are writing tie l Texas.

United Press International WASHINGTON — Portions of the Mexican border will be fenced in an attempt to slow illegal immi gration, acording to Justice De partment spokesmen. Fencing plans have been scaled down, however, because of strong protests over a so-called “Tortilla Curtain” which could cut off immigrants’ fingers and toes. Referring to protests about the fencing plans, a Justice Department spokesman told reporters it was probably the first time in American history a news briefing had been called “to announce the replace ment of eight miles of fence. ” Attorney General Griffin Bell, compromising to quiet an outcry from Mexican-American and civil rights groups, announced the scaled-down fencing plans. Bell said instead of 12 miles of the razor-sharp metal fencing first pro posed last October, the Immigration VA! ASk- FOR OUR FREE 6ACK.PACk.ERS ANO FOREIGN! TRAVELER'S CHECRCISTS.
