Rio Grande Valley freeze
does little harm to crops
United Press International
AUSTIN — Farmers in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley have reported lit
tle damage to vegetable and citrus
crops as a result of freezing tempera
tures Sunday and Monday in the
state’s major winter vegetable grow
ing area, Agriculture Commissioner
Reagan Brown said Monday.
Brown said there had been some
leaf burning reported on some young
cantaloupe plants, but damage
appears insufficient. He said no
other damage had been reported by
noon Monday.
Temperatures dipped as low as 28
degrees in the valley, but the freez
ing temperatures didn’t last long.
Brown said cabbage and onion
crops appeared unhurt by the sub
freezing temperatures, adding the
cabbage harvest is about 60 percent
complete.
Citrus trees in the budding stage
also appeared unharmed, Brown
said, and mature fruit still being har
vested also appeared to have escaped
damage. The grapefruit harvest
should be complete by March 15,
and the Valencia orange harvest by
April 1.

Current 2 1 /2-year Money Market rate is
11.75% — an effective annual yield of

the first year.
For example, a $5,000 loan, financed
for 48 months at 11.83 APR (annual per

in interest (a total cost of $6,298.08.)
Monthly payments will be only $131.21.
Car loans, of course, are subject to
usual credit standards. And federal reg

penalty for early withdrawal of the certifi

The interest you receive on your 2 1 /2-

Carter's choices upset
Texas minority Dems
ouse natic
United Press International
AUSTIN — An apparent decision
by President Carter to choose old-
line Texas Democrats to head his
state campaign organization has irri
tated leaders of the Mexican-
American Democrats on the eve of
Vice President Walter Mondale’s
first campaign appearance of 1980 in
Texas.
Mondale is scheduled to address
the annual convention of the political
arm of the Texas AFL-CIO this after
noon, and at that time is expected to
announce the selection of Land
Commissioner Bob Armstrong, for
mer state party chairman Calvin
Guest of Bryan, and former city
councilman Lowell Lebermann of
Austin as co-chairmen of the Carter-
Mondale campaign in Texas.
Marc Campos, chairman of the
Mexican-American Democrats, said
Monday the three co-chairmen do
not understand the problems and
issues affecting minorities, and
warned Democratic leaders to give
Mexican-Americans more imput or
risk losing their support in the
November elections.
“The Carter-Mondale ticket, the
odds-on favorite to win the party’s
nomination, has taken the Shivers-
Connally approach to Democratic
party politics,” Campos said in a
printed statement. “This approach is
one that places the needs and con
cerns of the true Democrats far be
hind the fat cat interests in Texas.”
Campos said minorities suffer the
most from inflation and an unstable
economy, and said although Arm
strong, Guest and Lebermann “have
at times dealt fairly with the minority
community of this state, they don’t
even come close to understanding
the problems and issues that affect
us.”
Mexican-American votes were a
big factor in Carter’s victory in Texas
in 1976.
Campos said that the appointment
of the state co-chairmen of the Car-
ter-Mondale campaign for 1980 will
