SAN FRANCISCO — The skir
mish between California and
Texas in the Mediterranean fruit
fly war could leave Western con
sumers awash in tons of cut-rate
oranges and avocados, according
to California agriculture industry
spokesmen.
California is in the midst of har
vesting the largest avacado and
naval orange crops in its history,
state Farm Bureau spokesman
Clark Briggs said Monday, and a
federally sanctioned ban on un
fumigated California produce en
tering Texas has created a “logis
tical nightmare” for state growers,
packers and distributors.
Until the problem is solved,
Briggs said, the shipment of Cali
fornia fruits and vegetables to
Texas could come to a virtual halt.
More than 5 percent of all citrus
and about 17 percent of all the
avacados grown in California are
exported to Texas.
Avacados already are selling in
San Francisco at one-fifth of last
year’s price of a dollar apiece, and
Briggs predicted that if growers
have trouble shipping their pro
duce, California customers will
see increased supply and lower
prices.
Texas consumers, on the other
hand, may end up paying more for
California produce that has gone
through the time-consuming and
expensive fumigation process.
"The smaller the supply, the
higher the price,” Briggs said.

Rather than help set up fumiga

The quarantine includes citrus,

guava, persimmons, olives, nec

Avocados and oranges, the only
crops being harvested now, are
the ones most immediately
affected by the ban.
If the ban extends into the sum
mer, the negative effect on grow

L ULA C presiden t seeks
apology from White House
United Press International
BROWNSVILLE — An Hispa
nic leader Tuesday said President
Reagan’s honeymoon with Span
ish-speaking citizens has ended
and he wants an apology or retrac
tion from the president.
Ruben Bonilla, president of the
League of United Latin American
Citizens (LULAC), said Reagan
Monday betrayed Hispanics by
sharply criticizing bilingual edu
cation programs.
Bonilla, who met two weeks
ago with Reagan at the White
House, said the president had
professed himself “a pioneer” in
bilingual education in California.
“The effort to smoke the peace-
pipe and be diplomatic is over,”
Bonilla said. “He (Reagan) is de
termined to make someone the
whipping boy. Hispanics, the
poor and the elderly are rapidly
becoming the expendables of his
programs.”
In a speech Monday to the Na
tional League of Cities, Reagan
assailed the bilingual education
program proposed by former
President Jimmy Carter, saying it
is wrong to allow a language prog
ram that is “dedicated to preserv
ing their native language and nev
er getting adequate in English.”
“In a very real sense, he
(Reagan) has betrayed Hispanics
and attempted to stifle our goals of
educational equality,” Bonilla
said. “He (Reagan) is guilty of ex
ecutive indiscretion and gross
oversimplification of bilingual
education.”
Bonilla said Reagan apparently
is under a misconception that His
panics try to “establish a mono
lingual separate colony.
“He (Reagan) should either re
tract his earlier statements (in sup
port of bilingual education), or
offer us an apology on his
erroneous assumptions yesterday
(Monday),’’ Bonilla said.
The LULAC president criti
cized Reagan as “playing to the
applause meter rather than the
cause of educational equality.
“He called upon us to address
the issue at a local level and leave
the federal government out,’’
Bonilla said. “In a very haphazard
fashion, he then betrays the prog
rams to the very local officials we
have to present them to at a later
date.”
“At this point, Monday was just
about a declaration of war,” Bonil
la said. “We ll be fighting from the
trenches.”
Bonilla said through the presi
dent’s remarks Monday, Reagan
did "incalculable damage to bilin
gual education in this country. ’
