Airline price war soaring
United Press International
DALLAS - Air travelers in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area Thurs
day were able to get two airline
tickets for the price of one to
more than 90 cities. The deal
was the latest escalation of the
price war between Braniff In
ternational and its two major
competitors, American Airlines
and Delta Airlines.
Braniff announced the two-
for-one sale — specifying that
tickets must be purchased within
a 48-hour period starting at
12:01 Thursday morning.
Claiming American “will not
permit itself to be undersold by a
competitor,” officials of that air
line matched Braniffs price cut
late Wednesday afternoon.
The two airlines are offering
the deals on round-trip tickets
only. Braniff charges $1 for the
second ticket but American
announced that second tickets
would be free.
The free ticket does not have
to be in the same name or to the
same destination as the original
ticket. However, the value of the
ticket must be the same as, or less
than, the original ticket.
Delta Airlines, caught in the
midst of an advertising cam
paign proclaiming “Delta will
not be undersold,” said it also
would give a $ 1 price for a
second ticket.
As it has in the past, American
criticized the price cutting initi
ated by Braniff.
“In light of the difficult eco
nomic conditions facing the air
line industry today, American
was surprised to learn that a ma
jor competitor was proposing a
give-away plan that can do no
thing but decrease revenues and
undermine the financial
strength of the industry,’’said
Robert W. Baker, American’s
vice president for passenger
sales and advertising. “Such
pricing schemes are irresponsi
ble and ill-advised.

NEW ORLEANS — Reputed
Mafia boss Carlos Marcello’s re
cent convictions for bribery in
Louisiana and California can be
used as ammunition to have him
deported, a federaljudge ruled.
Marcello’s defense attorney
Mark Mancini reacted bitterly to
U.S. District Judge Morey Sear’s
opinion Wednesday, saying his
client should be treated like an
American convicted of a crime
instead of like a foreigner sub
ject to deportation.
Attorneys for the so-called
“Little Man” of Gulf Coast crime
had asked Sear to bar the federal
government from using Marcel
lo’s conviction in the Louisiana
Brilab trial as a lever to enforce a
29-year-old deportation order
against him.
“I see no reason at all for me
to grant or recommend against
deportation, and the motion is
denied,” Sear said.
Sear’s decision will not be
appealed, Mancini said.
“He is an American criminal,
but not a Tunisian criminal,”
: Mancini said, “and the fact he’s
! being treated differently than
i an American criminal is difficult
to accept.”
Marcello was brought to the
| United States from Tunisia by
his parents when he was 5
months old.
Mancini had urged Sear to
grant the motion in considera
tion of Marcello’s age, 72, and
family and business ties in the
United States.
“It is my opinion he loves the
U.S. as much as anyone else
25 held
in refugee
smuggling
United Press International
EL PASO — A Border Patrol
official says charges may be filed
against 25 people arrested for
smuggling illegal aliens during a
crackdown last weekend. A 20-
year-old Mexican national has
already been charged in the
case.
Jack Richardson, acting chief
agent for the Border Patrol in El
Paso, said Sergio Chavez Garcia,
20, reportedly tried to walk 21
refugees from Guatemala and
El Salvador across the border
and place them in motels late
Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for the
magistrate’s office said the Mex
ican national was charged with
illegally transporting the re
fugees, four of whom were
charged as material witnesses.
Richardson said Wednesday
the others were being held in a
Border Patrol detention center
to await transportation back to
their countries, and that charges
against the 25 people arrested
last weekend were still being
considered.
SURVIVAL
. is your lone goal in this
futuristic space battle. The
year is 2003 and your mis
sion is to protect your star
colonies from total destruc
tion by enemy warriors.
Face the challenge of
does, as much as any U.S.
citizen,” Mancini said. “I believe
he should be able to spend his
last years following his prison
sentence in the country he
knows as home.”
Sear presided over the four-
month Brilab trial last year in
which Marcello was found guilty
of scheming to obtain state in-

surance business through brib
ery and kickbacks.
Marcello, who was not in the
courtroom Wednesday, was
sentenced to seven years in pris
on. He is appealing that convic
tion.
U.S. Attorney John Volz cal
led the ruling a substanstantial
step toward Marcello’s deporta
tion, although he will face no ex
pulsion proceedings until he
serves his bribery sentence and
whatever sentence he receives
for his 1981 conviction in a Cali
fornia bribery case.
Marcello’s record also in
cludes convictions for assault
and robbery in 1930 and assault
of an FBI agent in 1968. The
1953 deportation order was
based on a 1938 drug conviction
for which Marcello was later
pardoned.
Immigration laws allow the
deportation of a non-resident
alien convicted of at least two
crimes involving moral turpi
tude or a narcotics violation.
