Suspects in judge’s death
to ask for reduced bonds
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — A U.S.
magistrate has promised to hear
requests early next week to re
duce nearly $3 million in bonds
for three of five people indicted
in the 1979 slaying of U.S. Dis
trict Judge John H. Wood Jr.
An attorney representing Joe
Chagra, charged with conspira
cy to murder Wood, said at a
hearing Friday his client could
not post his $1.6 million bond
because the Internal Revenue
Service already had begun con
fiscating his property in re
sponse to a separate tax evasion
indictment handed down with
the Wood indictment earlier this
week.
Chagra, 35, and his sister-in-
law, Elizabeth, 28, were trans

transferred to San Antonio
from Dallas for a similar
hearing.
Mrs. Harrelson and Mrs.
Chagra were being held in the
Bexar County Jail, and Chagra
was held at the federal penitenti
ary in nearby Bastrop.
U.S. Magistrate Robert
O’Connor said he would hear
requests early next week to re
duce Chagra’s $1.6 million
bond, Mrs. Chagra’s $1.1 mil

$250,000 bond.
Chagra’s older brother, Jim

with murder and conspiracy in

Agricultural crisis schemes
confront Congress this week
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Con
fronted by the greatest agricul
tural crisis in the Southwest in
five decades, Congress will tang
le this week with a bewildering
array of quick-fix schemes to
bolster the financially ailing
farmer.
One plan sets up what some
term a welfare state for farmers
in which loan payments would
be deferred or rescheduled by
the Farmers Home Administra
tion, the Agriculture Depart
ment’s chief emergency lender.
Another plan opens up new
lines of credit to farmers w'ho
cannot pay back old production-
based loans or qualify for com
mercial funds.
Most of the remedies focus
on changing the ways the FmH A
does business.
“Too many government
loans were made that were un
justifiable,” Billy Bode, a south
Texas farm auctioneer, said.
“The auction business has never
had it so good.”
Rep. Glenn English, D-Okla,
said the FmH A may be a catalyst
in bringing about an agricultu
ral depression.
A recent UPI survey of farm
leaders in the Southwest re
vealed as many as 70,000 of the
region’s 350,000 farmers may
go under by next harvest season,
and that regional farm income
— adjusted for inflation — was
the worst since the Dust Bowl
era. The region leads the nation
in the number of overdue loans
farmers owed the government.
Lawmakers from the South
west have taken the lead in the
fight to save farmers from bank
ruptcy.
English recently drafted a
land value protection act which
would automatically halt forecl
osures by the FmHA when the
rate is more than 10 times the
average foreclosure rate of
decade.
the
past
The
plan,
part ot a larger
package, may be reviewed this
week by the House Agriculture
Committee. The package could
be applied only to family far
mers who demonstrated good
management practices and were
considered a good bet to repay
the funds.
The Reagan administration
objected to the plan, saying its
generous provisions would in
terfere with the discretionary
authority of the Agriculture De
partment.
Moreover, the plan would
“extend welfare rights into the
farm community,” warned Rep.
Thomas Coleman, R-Mo., a
member of the subcommittee on
agricultural conservation, credit
and development, which
approved the plan.
Meanwhile, Reps. Charles
Stenhold and Ken Hance, both
Democrats from Texas t|
backed Reagan’s economicp
cies last year, announced!

The history of humans oppressing other humans is
long and depressing. The Holocaust, a story in itself of
horrible dimensions, has become a symbol of the
awfulness of all human oppression. On Tuesday, April
20, a day nationally designated as Holocaust Remem
brance Day, we plan to encourage a responsible ad
dress to the future that still lies before us through a
sorrowful remembrance of what lies in the background
of our human history. We invite all who are interested
in such a concern to join us.
