Bonilla, former president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, said that he and Jackson have talked about a possible coalition of blacks, His panics and other groups. Bonilla now heads the Hispanic Leader ship Conference. “This will be the first time a national black leader has traveled into a predominantly Hispanic area to pursue the dream of a coalition,” Bonilla said. “We hope his presence will stimulate (voter) registration and create interest in presiden tial politics,” he said. Bonilla said he hoped Jack- son’s visit to the Rio Grande Val ley will bring attention to the se rious economic problems there. $2^ FAST, FREE DELIVERY* $ 2 1 wot United Press International VALENTINE — Residents of ina | jis little West Texas town, l^j jgered over Air Force plans to ^Jfsupersonic missions over wi, will prepare their own —srsion of an environmental im- ■statement to keep the com- e unity from receiving up to 12 nic booms a day. l The Air Force, unable to t 1m its F-15 jet fighters in the jowded airspace' above White ifs Missile Range in New wo, said the training mis- pis are vital to test the coun- ler. (|jair defense system. thifl fficials from Holloman Air :eBase, Alamogordo, N.M., proposing that training ts be conducted over Re- , N.M., and at Valentine, a of 400 located about 150 southeast of El Paso. alph Voight, president of Jouncil for the Preservation t West Texas Frontier, said Cowboy thome a town meeting Tuesday in Valentine raised unanswered questions of how the sonic booms would affect humans, livestock, wildlife and tourism. The townspeople will take their cause to the courts if the town does not get a “just settlement” of the issue, Voight said. “Our rights as owners of private lands will not be ‘boom-barded’ away be cause we are so few and you are so powerful. ” A council lawyer, Joe Hood of El Paso, said the residents and the Air Force have plenty of time to settle the issue and that a law suit would be premature at this stage. The Air Force will present its draft of an environmental im pact statement to the citizens of Catron County, N.» M., where Reserve is, on Oct. 20. Citizens there have also threatened to sue the Air Force. Voight said the Air Force was not in compliance with the Na tional Environmental Protection Act. The Air Force confused the issue by concealing the facts and giving false information, he said. The Air Force statements that tests on adobe structures showed no damage Were based on tests using one house and one sonic boom, Voight said. “We are determined to take our battle to the courts so that we may be fairly heard and our rights as owners of private lands will not be ‘boom-barded’ away because we are so few and you are so powerful,” Voight told a panel of seven Air Force officers and two civilians. Col. Richard Stramm, com manding officer of the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hollo man, said the altitude of the air crafts has been raised to 15,000 feet to minimize the sonic booms. The F-15 Fighter jets will maintain a five-mile buffer zone from the town, Stramm said. Officials said the Air Force wants to fly 300 military opera tions per month in the Valentine and Reserve areas. Hood said he was dis appointed that the Air Force had no technical experts at the public hearing. The Air Force must complete its environmen tal impact statement and submit its findings to the secretary of the Air Force before Nov. 4, he said. Residents have until Nov. 4 to submit written comments into the record before the final deci sion is made, he said. $2.00 off any large pizza, or $1.00 off any medium pizza.
