Smugglers
may face
charges
United Press International
HOUSTON — Federal and state
{prosecutors Wednesday said they
[hoped the Mexican government
[would charge nine f ugitives with the
[murder of four Salvadorans die fu-
[gitives were smuggling into the
| United States.
The Mexican attorney general’s
[office is expected to announce
[Thursday whether it will prosecute
Ithe Mexican nationals who fled
Texas after murder and aggravated
[kidnapping charges were filed in
Fort Bend County in August 1982,
said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bernie
' Hobson.
“Our best hope is that the Mexi-
ican government will prosecute
[them,’’ Hobson said.
The Mexican government does
[not extradite its citizens charged in
U.S. crimes, Hobson said, and this
perhaps would be the f irst time Mex
icans were tried in their own country
| for slayings in the United States.
The men supposedly are mem-
| hers of the Los Tejas gang, which
charges Mexicans and Central
Americans a fee for smuggling them
| into the United Stales.
This is the most violent, best
[armed and most dangerous group of
[alien smugglers who operate out of
[Texas,” Hobson said.
The bodies of four Salvadorans
I were found tied together and shot in
the back of their heads along the
Brazos River near Richmond on July
116, 1982. I hey were tortured and
killed after their families could not
pay extra money demanded by Los
Tejas, prosecutors said.

United Press International
HOUSTON — The Five astro
nauts from the space shuttle Discov
ery showed home movies Wednes
day and praised the jetpacks used
during their rescue of two stranded
satellites.
“Joy — exhilaration, I guess,” as
tronaut Joseph Allen said of flying a
jet backpack from the shuttle to the
first of two marooned satellites. “It’s
a very, easy device to fly. It looks like
the Buck Rogers of my childhood
and it literally is.”
Fellow astronaut Dale Gardner
said the backpacks worked flawlessly
during two free-flying spacewalks to
rescue the errant Westar and Palapa
satellites earlier this month.
“For me the flying over part and
docking was pretty much business,”
Gardner said. “You’re thinking
about too many things to really sit
back and marvel at it all.”
However, after docking the sec
ond satellite on the seventh day of
the eight-day flight, Gardner had 20
minutes to do nothing while Allen
hooked himself to the shuttle’s robot
arm, which was operated by Anna
Fisher.
“During that time period I had
nothing to do but watch the Earth go
by and the stars and moon,” he said.
“I could hear them all talking some
place in the background and I as
sumed that Rick would not de-orbit
without me. That part was the most
awe inspiring to me.”
Gardner was speaking of shuttle
commander Rick Hauck, who man-
uevered Discovery to within 35 feet
of both satellites.
The astronauts were exhilarated
by their successful capture of the
wayward relay stations and sur
prised by the attention their work re
ceived on Earth.
“There were times none of the
live of us really believed we had ac
tually pulled it off,” Gardner said.”
Problems with fitting an adapter
onto the first satellite forced Allen to
manhandle both of the floating
1,200-pound spacecrafts while
Gardner secured them to cradles in
the shuttle’s payload bay.
“The fact that I was hanging on to
the satellite at the time did not add
all that much fatigue to it,” Allen
said of the six-hour spacewalks.
“The strenuous part of a spacewalk
... is the fact that the suits are stiff.”
At their ne : ws conference, the as
tronauts narrated a home movie and
slides that showed them at routine
tasks such as cleaning and cooking
and not-so-routine tasks such as
chasing after floating candy or pre
tending to remove Allen from a stor
age locker.
“Here I am, cleaning again,”
Fisher said with a laugh when the
film showed her cleaning air filters.
“I thought I was going to escape that
... for a week or so.”
The movie showed Fisher chasing
after floating M&Ms during one
scene and grabbing them one by one
with her mouth.
“That’s how the crew was re
warded when we did something
properly — Rick would release an
other handful,” Allen said.
The mission was the first for pilot
David Walker.
“I was excited obviously,” Walker
said of the spectacular blastoff.
“They don’t measure our heart rates
any more going up hill, but I’m sure
mine was thumping.”
