Plant workers on strike
Bombs found at car plant
United Press International
TEXARKANA, Ark. — Federal
agents have joined police officials
in the investigation of two bombs
found attached to utility poles at
the North American Car Corp.
plant, authorities said.
Both bombs failed to explode
because the fuses failed, the police
said.
The bombs and a bomb threat
Tuesday marked the first day com
pany officials began taking appli
cations for positions held by the
229 union workers who are on
strike at the plant. Plant manager
Harry Mooneyham said company
offices were flooded with appli
cants Tuesday, despite the strik
ing employees who walked picket
lines outside the plant.
Police Sgt. James Cowart said
detonation of the bombs would
have knocked out electricity to the
plant. The bombs may have failed
to explode because fuses leading
to the detonators were old, he
said. Also, he said, early morning
rains may have snuffed the fuses.
Cowart said the fuses, set to
explode in five minutes, were
commonly used in seismographic
testing.
Agents from the Little Rock
office of the federal Department of
Tobacco, Alcohol and Firearms
joined the investigation and the
two nitrate-based explosives were
sent to the FBI lab in Washington,
D.C., Cowart said.
“There’s no doubt he knew
what he was doing,” Cowart said
of the person who placed the
bombs. “An explosion like that
would have knocked out all the
power to the plant.”
The bombs could have
threatened area residents if they
had exploded, he said.
Authorities learned of the
bombs through an anonymous
telephone call Tuesday morning.
Police believe the same person
called a bomb threat Tuesday
afternoon, saying an explosive had
been placed in the plant’s paint
department. No bomb was found.
Members of the local Brother
hood Railway Carmen of the Un
ited States went on strike at the
plant April 21 citing unfair labor
prectices. The union and manage
ment have failed on four occasions
to reach a contract agreement.
More negotiations were sche
duled Thursday.
Government leaves
alien dispute to stati
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Jus
tice Department has told the
Supreme Court it will take no
position on whether Texas is re
quired to provide free educa
tion to illegal alien children.
The position, disclosed in
legal papers filed last Friday
with the Supreme Court, is a
retreat from the government’s
earlier arguments during the
Carter administration that the
Texas law should be struck
down as unconstitutional.

But now the government
said it will allow the dispute to
be argued out by those directly
affected by the state law.
“Whether the state of Texas
is constitutionally obligated to
bear the expense of educating
school-age children who en
tered the United States in viola
tion of federal law and whether
local school districts are consti
tutionally required to admit
such children to their public
schools are issues that affect the
state of Texas and the school dis
tricts, not the United States,”
the government said in its legal
papers made available Tuesday.
The dispute over tuition-free
education for illegal alien chil
dren began in 1975 when the
Texas legislature passed a law
allowing school districts to
charge tuition for children who
were not “legally admitted

LULAC denounces
Clements lauds act
United Press International
AUSTIN, Texas — The presi
dent of the League of United
Latin American Citizens has de
nounced the Reagan adminis
tration for the Justice Depart
ment’s decision to withdraw
from a lawsuit seeking free pub
lic education for alien children.
But Gov. Bill Clements
lauded the department’s deci
sion as a “healthy sign” and
hailed it as a victory for states’
rights.
Bonilla Tuesday slammed
Reagan’s policies, saying they
“represent a callous disregard
for the poor, the minorities and
the uneducated in this
country.”
In addition, he said LULAC
considers the Texas law denying
free education to alien children
a violation of the equal protec
tion clause of the U.S. Constitu
tion.
“It has always been our im
pression that the Justice De
partment is charged with the re
sponsibility of seeing that con
stitution rights not be violated, ”
the Corpus Christi attorney
said.
“For them to withdraw!
the case is, in effect, an
dorsement of the eonstiti
violations against alien i
dren,” he said.
In contrast, Clements, 1
first Republican governors
Reconstruction, said
“pleased to see the federal;
ernment getting out ct

“It’s a healthy sign and
that confirms Press
