United Press International
EL PASO — A fifth suspect in

The following day, agents saw
a suitcase bearing the name
Maria Gonzalez that had been
checked in by Flores Nevarez.
Officers Monday night
arrested Miguel Garcia Diaz,
brother of Chaparral, N.M.,
rooster farmer Lamberto Garcia
Diaz, after a nine-month investi

addition to Garcia, was his wife,
Elvira Garcia Aquirre, Alfonso
Corral and Jesus Flores
Nevarez.
Authorities said Miguel Gar
cia was expected to join the
others in El Paso after appearing
before a U.S. magistrate in Chi
cago. Federal drug officers said
a suitcase headed for Chicago
gave agents their first big break
in the case.
Agents reported seeing Mrs.
Garcia purchase an airline ticket
With the help of trained dogs
who sniffed out the drugs,
agents found 4.5 ounces of pure
heroin in the suitcase, along with
3.5 pounds of lactose, which is
used to cut the drug.

at his Chaparral farm, just on
the northeast boundary of El

Reagan denounces critics
of his education program
United Press International
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
President Reagan, putting a
combative edge on his latest
cause, Wednesday sought
suport for his back-to-basics
view of education reform and
denounced “those who would
divide, delay and drag us down.”
All work and no play!
staff photo by Brenda Davidson
Reagan turned up the rhetor
ic of his education crusade and
took shots at his critics in re
marks prepared for PTA lead
ers attending the organization’s
87th annual convention.
The speech opened a second
straight day of attempts to erase
doubts about his motives and
prove the depth of his commit
ment to improving public edu
cation. Before the address,
Reagan came under sharp critic
ism from a number of PTA lead
ers for his past educational
proposals and more recent sug
gestion that sweeping reforms
can be accomplished without
substantial federal help.
The PTA opposes abolition
of the Education Department, a
campaign promise that has slip
ped from sight in Reagan’s re
cent treatment of education
issues, and his proposal for tui
tion tax credits for the parents of
private school students. Dele
gates to the PTA gathering sub
mitted a rush order for 1,000
buttons reading, “Stop tuition
tax credit,” which they hoped
would arrive in time for
Reagan’s appearance.
“Tax credits have nothing to
do with quality education and
everything to do with the politics
of the presidency," Arnold
Fege, director of government
relations for the PTA told the
Albuquerque Tribune.

Pilot’s didn’t finish checklist
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The pilot
and copilot of a Republic Air
lines jet that temporarily ran out
of fuel over southern Utah in
April failed to follow standard
flying procedures, the National
Transportation Safety Board
said.
In a report on the incident
issued Tuesday, the board
found Robert Kelley and John
Andrews did not complete a
routine checklist shortly after
takeoff from the Twin Cities In-
trnational Airport April 2 and
did not have the computer
generated flight plan normally
provided on the flight.
The two were distracted by a
knob from the control panel that
came off in Kelley’s hand, the
board said, and because
they
were rushed in getting the plane
off the ground after a 39-minute
delay.
They apparently skipped
over instructions to turn on
pumps that send fuel from the
center fuel tank to the two en
gines. The jet operated on fuel
from the wing tanks for two
The DC9-82 glided without
power for 13 minutes from
35,000 feet to 12,000 feet before
the crew managed to start both
engines and land safely at Las
Vegas. The engine startup
occurred as the pilots headed to
ward a small airport at Page,
Ariz. on the suggestion of air
traffic controllers.
Both Kelley and Andrews
were suspended for six months.
