Writing for the court. Chief Jus tice Warren Burger said the test was not whether there was “probable cause to conclude the vehicle they stopped would contain a group of illegal aliens. “Rather the question is whether, based on the whole picture, they as experienced border patrol agents, could reasonably surmise that the particular vehicle they stopped was engaged in criminal activity.” Relying on a hunch that a person, named the “Chevron” after the pat tern on his shoes, was leading aliens across the border to a place near Sells, Ariz., officers staked out the highway looking for a truck or cam per making a quick trip to and from the border. The officers spotted a camper fit ting the description, and pulled it over and inside found six aliens, in cluding a man whose shoes bore a chevron design. The convictions of the “Chevron” and another smuggler were over turned by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which held the agents had “no valid basis" for singling out the camper. “They saw nothing suspicious ab out the vehicle itself. They had no specific information about illegal movement of aliens in that area that night,” the three-judge panel held. In reversing the appeals court ! court apparently expanded thet ity of law enforcement officers It a “profile” of generally suspidt characteristics or activities, raj than a reasonable suspicion a crii has been committed, whenlli want to stop suspects. Burger wrote that “limited* pose of the stop in this case mi question the occupants ofthevelt about their citizenship and imi tion status and the reasons round trip in a short time spanj virtually deserted area. “No search of the camper ofaj) its occupants occurred until afteri respondent (Jesus) Cortez volualj ly opened the back door oil camper; thus, only the stop, not! search is at issue here,” Hey Seniors: Buy your SENIOR BOOTS from Victor and he’ll give you 20% OFF his custom made uniforms too!

Probably not more than 50,000 cows are rented to American farmers now. But all the firms in the business think the trend will have to acceler ate because of the extremely high current price for good cows. The firms say banks are reluctant to make direct loans to dairy farmers to expand their herds, and the far mers need the leverage that leasing gives them in order to increase their cash flow. But leasing cows is tricky, says David Halsey, editor of Dairy Herd Management magazine, published in Minneapolis. There have been a few scandals. Halsey said his magazine received complaints from farmers who claimed the leasing company showed them fine cows, then after the con tract was signed, delivered lower- grade cows and pocketed the differ ence in price. Halsey said there are other perils Bwhic^the farmer must guard Against? “If you lease a truck and it goes bad, you can take it back, but if a leased cow dies, the farmer is stuck unless there is a clear provision ab out that in the lease.” He said the farmer must make sure the contract specifies who owns the calves bom to the rented cows, who is responsible for insuring the herd and paying the taxes on the cows and what rights the farmer has in culling out marginal cows and re placing them. Dairy farming is believed to be the sixth largest business in the country and presently is mostly in the hands of small farmers. If the leasing trend should accelerate rapidly, ownership of the country’s dairy herds would be concentrated in the leasing com panies and could reduce the farmers to being mere managers. The biggest leasing operator, Agricultural Asset Management Co. of Salem, N.Y., which rents about 18,000 cows, does sell tax-sheltered participations to individual inves tors. So do the cow-leasing divisions of Banc Ohio of Columbus, Ohio, which rents 4,500 cows, and PAC Financial Corp. of Indianapolis. Some leasing firms will rent fewer than 50 cows, but Agri Asset thinks 50 is about the minimum. Under its plan, the farmer normally pays an annual rent equal to 15 percent of the value of the herd. Agri Asset pays the insurance. It claims a farmer can get full use of a 100-cow herd with a market value of $100,000 for $15,000 a year by renting. To buy such a herd at to day’s prices, he said, would require interest and amortization payments of $27,000 to $40,000 a year, de pending on how long the contract runs. The farmer retains full mani! ment control and gets all tk flow. He is required only topa\ rent and maintain the herd, Fr> A huge near El I hostages pleted, With* 1 in yello-v* release o In Dal front of tl first tinne The L struck 52 after offlc hostages’ “Eve it of people ingthem Lowe.
