Ruling expands right
of border patrol stops
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Supreme
Court Wednesday unanimously
boosted the border patrol’s ability to
ferret out illegal aliens by broaden
ing the circumstances under which
the agents may make investigative
stops.
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,”

New idea for tax shelters
Rent-a-cow business grows
United Press International
NEW YORK — Inflation and sky-
high interest rates are forcing dairy
farmers to lease cows rather than
own them and that is creating a tax
shelter for investors in some of the
leasing firms.
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,
