DALLAS — A panel of scien-
s has completely rejected a
S. House committee report
the assassination of Presi-
itjohn F. Kennedy, the re-
s chief planner said.
Robert Blakey, counsel
the now-defunct House
iinations Committee, said
alysis conducted by 13 sci-
its from the National
lemy of Sciences flatly con-
icted the House report,
it report contended that four
|ts were recorded on a Dallas
radio Dictabelt, rather
h the Warren Commission’s
al finding that only three
its were fired.
If four shots were fired, ac
id assassin Lee Harvey
Oswald could not have been the
only person shooting in Dealey
Plaza. Scientists for the House
committee concluded a second
gunman on the so-called grassy
knoll also fired a shot, which
missed Kennedy.
But Blakey, a Notre Dame
professor of law, this week criti
cized the report, which has not
yet been released to the public,
because he said the panel of sri-
entists performed the analysis
only to refute the House com
mittee report.
Blakey criticized the scien
tists for not fully investigating
the police recording and £>r not
locating the three shots which
did not originating from the
grassy knoll area.
Reagan plan on aliens
criticized by attorney
United Press International
EL PASO — Many un
documented workers will be legal
ly discouraged from taking part in
the temporary work program
proposed by President Reagan, a
Houston attorney said.
Isaias Torres, an attorney in
volved in immigration issues, cri
ticized the program Friday in an
address to the Internationalization
of American Cities Conference.
Under Reagan’s proposal, un
documented workers who entered
the country before Jan. 1, 1980
would have to renew work visas
with the Immigration and Natur
alization Service every three years
before they could become U.S.
citizens.
After ten years of temporary
work, the worker would be eligi
ble for citizenship.
Under such a policy, Torres
said, workers would lose the
necessary 10-year continuity by
going back to visit their families in
Mexico, then returning to the Un
ited States.
He said the proposed policy also
denies undocumented workers
the use of U.S. government ser
vices and forbids them to bring
their families into the country,
forcing them to work under
ground.
“He (the worker) pays, but he
cannot use services,” Torres said.
Torres said about 90 percent of
the undocumented workers were
in the United States without their
families and the proposed immig
ration policy would freeze that
situation for 10 years.
He said the policy also provides
that workers who lose their jobs
are subject to deportation, break
ing the continuity in the 10-year
work period before citizenship can
be obtained.
Torres noted the work period is
only five years tor Cubans and
Haitians, and the policy requires
undocumented workers to have a
minimum ability to speak English.
He said the State Department
was insensitive to the problems of
undocumented workers and illus
trated his point by reading from a
department memorandum, which
stated there was no danger in de
porting Salvadorans back to their
country.
Torres explained that students
and teachers are being threatened
and persecuted by both extreme
factions when they are returned to
El Salvador, a country embroiled
in a bitter civil war.
“And the U.S. government re
fuses to take note of their danger,”
he said, adding that several cases
have been reported in which Sal
vadorans have never heard from
family members who were de
ported from the United States.

lav-
The 1981 Legislature appropri
ated $5.5 million to finance 1982
Democratic and Republican pri
maries and then approved an in
crease in pay for election workers.
That increase will use up
$913,000, said Vic Terry, director
of the financial management divi
sion of the secretary of state’s
office.
He told the committee the sec
retary of state is studying the pos
sibility of seeking corporate con
tributions to make up difference.
Members of the committee
praised the efforts ofTerry and the
secretary of state’s office, and Rep.
Susan McBee, D-Del Rio, said the
idea of using private contributions
to pay the election costs is novel.
“You’ll have to admit it’s pretty
bizarre,” she told Terry.
Terry said other ways of raising
money were being explored.
He said if the Legislature hap

appropriation will be sought.

“Everyone would prefer to have
more money, but since we don’t,
we re trying to make the best of it
and do what is best for the state,”
Terry said.
He said the secretary of state is
seeking a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service on whether cor
poration contributions to the
state’s primary election fund
would be legal, and if the donor
could specify whether the contri
bution was spent on the Democra
tic or Republican primary.
“I personally think the IRS is
going to be very reluctant to allow
deductions for corporate contribu
tions earmarked for a certain par
ty,” said Dwayne Holman, execu
tive director of the Democratic
party of Texas.
Rep. Bob Ware, R-Fort Worth,
suggested the secretary of state
distribute the funds that are avail
able “and let that be the end of it. ”

line theft.
The van held a 1,000-gallon
tank and a mechanical pump oper
ated by a person in the rear of the
vehicle, the investigator said. He
said the van could drive over
underground gasoline storage
tanks, cut into them and pump out
the gasoline through a hose.
The investigator said 50 locks
from underground fuel storage
tanks were found in the van. But
he said none of the stations, be
lieved to be in the Dallas and
Houston areas, have reported any
stolen gasoline. He also specu
lated the service stations that
bought the gasoline from the ring
knew it was stolen.
