Juarez mayor urged to control leftist march
United Press International
JUAREZ, Mexico — Mem
bers of the Juarez Chamber of
Commerce and leaders of the
conservative National Action
Party Wednesday urged Mayor
Francisco Barrio to use “drastic
means” to control a demonstra
tion planned by left-wing
groups for Saturday.
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.^*
