free food rules
United Press International
EL PASO — Forty percent of
El Paso residents could be eligi
ble for free food now that the
federal government has relaxed
its rules, an official for the Paso
del Norte Food Bank said
Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture announced it is
dropping a requirement that
certain food items cannot be dis
tributed to an agency that might
discriminate against recipients.
Under those rules, officials
said, a shelter for battered
women could not receive the
food because it would feed only
women.
State Rep. Mary Polk, D-El
Paso, announced that the USD A
had ordered the redistribution
of food, spurred by her request
to Texas Sens. John Tower and
Lloyd Bentsen.
In her letter to the lawmak
ers, Polk said: “I’m sure you will
agree that the intent of this
program was for these foods to
be distributed in an effective
manner.”
Some of the food to be redis
tributed is food that the govern
ment buys from farmers to keep
market supplies lower and
prices higher.
Food stored in warehouses in
Texas was a burden to the state,
she said.
Polk had asked that the
USD A to allow the food to be
distributed to schools, charitable
organizations and needy fami
lies.
The food giveaway program
for needy families began in 1981
under Secretary of Agriculture
John Block. Quantities of food
increased and guidelines were
loose, officials said.

ontinental pilots file countersuit
United Press International
10USTON — The Air Line
jots Association, sued for $50
Ilion earlier this month by
JiUinental Airlines, filed a
|00 million damage suit
Jinst Continental in federal
cojirt Wednesday.
-^■The Union of Flight Atten-
—idatiis filed a similar but separate
■suit against Continental in
ff photo by Dinkfapal court Wednesday with-
specifying a damage claim.
■The lawsuits claim Continen-
idents musiHviolated the Railway Labor
dentificatiwAct in filing for bankruptcy
rebrganization. The suits
—dunged the company unilater-
llly suspended labor pacts to cut
pay and increase work loads on a
reduced flight schedule. The
plans went into effect Sept. 27.
The suit by flight attendants,
who went on strike with the
pilots Oct. 1, requests reinstate
ment and back pay.
The ALPA suit also seeks an
injunction to restore the pilots
union contract with Continental
and to bar the airline from using
outside strikebreakers to replace
the Continental pilots.
Continental says it has
enough Continental pilots will
ing to cross picket lines to keep
flying but needs more to ex
pand. The airline has been in
terviewing outside pilot appli
cants for 10 days but says it has
not yet hired any.
ALPA also sent a telegram to
Continental suggesting the un
ion and the company find a
mediator to end the pilots’ 19-
day-old strike.
In another move Wednesday,
ALPA filed a petition with the
Civil Aeronautics Board in
Washington asking the CAB to
disapprove Continental’s crea
tion of three subsidiaries to run
its international flights.
It charged that Continental
officials communicated improp
erly with CAB Chairman Dan
McKinnon about reorganization
of its international flight system.
The new subsidiaries, prop
osed to the CAB shortly before
the airline filed for reorganiza
tion, are Continental Venezuela,
Continental Mexico and Con
tinental Pacific.
Continental filed a $50 mil
lion lawsuit on Oct. 12 accusing
ALPA and its president, Henry
Duffy, of antitrust violations,
price-fixing and illegal harass
ment of the company and its em
ployees.
ALPA has asked Bankruptcy
Judge R.F. Wheless to dismiss
Continental’s bankruptcy peti
tion, charging it was filed in bad
faith to break the unions.
Continental defends the
validity of its bankruptcy peti
tion and its suspension of labor
contracts with the machinists,
pilots and flight attendants.

Ironically, Vela com-
plimented the four for their
political enthusiasm, despite his
finding that they went outside
the law.
“The way you people are en
thusiastic about politics is the
way everybody ought to be,”
Vela said. “Basically, I know you
people don’t believe you did
anything wrong, but what you
did was against the law.”
Witnesses in the trial testified
that county welfare vouchers
were distributed to people who
promised to “vote right” in the
election. Uresti, who originally
called for the investigation by
the FBI and Texas Rangers, has
been informed that he is an offi
cial “target” of the continuing
inquiry, Wolfe has said.
Uresti has been county judge
of the South Texas county since
Archer Parr was sent to prison
for 10 years in 1975 on a federal
perjury conviction. Parr and his
uncle, the late “Duke of Duval”
George B. Parr, ran a strong
political machine in the county
for several decades until George
Parr committed suicide on April portation to serve a five-year in-
1, 1975, while awaiting trans- come tax evasion sentence.
