Dissident teachers, members of a leftwing union called “Los Democraticos,” will join with other Marxist-leaning organiza- tions Saturday in a march through the downtown streets of Juarez which is expected to end in a blockade of internation al bridges leading into El Paso. Business leaders and NAP members met with the new mayor and urged him to take “drastic means” to control de monstrators and keep traffic open between Mexico and the United States. ' The mayor, who Wednesday completed his first 100 days in office, has come under fire by businessmen and political ene mies for issuing public state ments to the news media in El Paso urging Americans to stay away from his city on Saturday .for their own safety. “I prefer to take the bull by the horns and not try to blocK out the sun with a finger,” the mayor said. “I can’t say to the tourist to come calmly to our city because I don’t know what will happen. I know we will maintain Jaw and order, but I don’t know at what price.” The mayor’s advice to Amer ican tourists motivated the com manding general of Fort Bliss to declare Juarez off limits on, Saturday to all personnel from that military installation. Maj. Gen. James Maloney issued the order following the mayor’s request for Americans to stay away. Barrio said J uarez police have been ordered to keep traffic flowing between the two cities. One federal police official said the Mexican army may be called in to break up the demonstra tion. Twenty eight teachers,, fired three months ago when they protested what they called un fair transfers, are demanding they be reinstated. The teachers contend the federal Secretariat of Education has played favorit ism in the appointment of prin cipals and assistant principals. The teachers will be joined in the protest by the Marxist-; leaning Comite de la Defensa Popular, the Committee of the People’s Defense, which has been labeled by Juarez police as the most radical organization on * the border. , Barrio said Mexico’s constitu-.. tion guarantees citizens the right, to demonstrate peacefully. He;* said he can not prevent the de- t monstration and has no jurisdic tion over the teachers, who are ’ paid by the federal government.^* Coke seized in Texas United Press International ,, CORPUS CHRISTI — U.S. Customs agents raided a Peru vian ship early Wednesday and seized more than 8 pounds of cocaine, authorities said.
