Texas has five U.S. Border Patrol sectors, from El Paso to Brownsv ille. Last year, the combined borders re corded 811,368 apprehensions. As of July 31st, the five sectors already had apprehended 783,883 aliens. Mano Ortiz, an INS spokesman in Dallas, said, ‘‘Generally, the overall figure between this fiscal year and last approximately is running about 46-47 percent higher.” Federal authorities are catching more illegal aliens, but more also are getting across the border, officials said. "We catch one out of every two or three,” Ortiz, said. Ortiz said immigration officials are using more sensitive equipment to arrest illegal aliens, but that more manpower is needed. He said the INS probably will request funds for additional officers. In the past month, officers from the McAllen sector, responding to complaints from Rio Grande Valley resinents, have been raiding con struction sites in the Port Isabel- South Padre Island area. ink ikir legal aliens were taking jobs and public housing from American citi zens. The Border Patrol acted on the complaints. “It continues to be effective,” Hicks said. “We’ll continue to work over there as long as it’s effective. The complaints (from residents) are starting to subside.” Chief Agent Silvestre Reyes said that last year agents arrested people from more than 80 different coun tries. Central Americans, fleeing economic and political problems in their homelands, continue to cross into the United States through the Valley, he said. “We arrest more than any other sector in the southern U.S.,” Hicks said, adding that Salvadorans con tinue to enter the United States in record numbers. Suspects held in folk singer death Associated Press CONROE — Four men were be ing held Monday on murder charges involving the Feb. 22 shooting deaths of folk musician John Van diver and his girlfriend. Vandiver and Davis, his booking agent, were found dead in the Mag nolia home they shared about 35 miles north of Houston. Both had been shot and the woman’s throat had been slashed, investigators said. Three of the men are being held in the Montgomery County Jail and a fourth is being extradited from South Carolina, said a jail spokes man. Montgomery County Sheriff Joe Corley said investigators believe Vandiver’s roommate of three months, Tom Mathes, engineered the scheme to rob and kill the cou ple. Also charged were Cecil Coving ton Jr., John Makosky and Dennis Holland, said the sheriff. Corley said Mathes was the only suspect who knew Vandiver. “He knew a lot about Johnny Van diver and knew he kept a large sum of money in his possession,” Corley said. Corley said it is believed that Van diver was involved in a drug network in Texas and Colorado, but that Da vis was not involved in the ring. Deputies found $13,000 in cash, two 30-pound bales of marijuana and more than eight ounces of co caine in the Vandiver home, Corley said. 37 26 pear 16 For Your Next Bash Crowds will stand in line to get a cool, frosty margarita.

Jackson was summoned to help out. Almost a year later, Jackson says his job as head of the Texas Depart ment of Corrections’ Internal Af fairs Division still keeps him plenty busy. From 1982 until last year, TDC’s Office of Operational Audits han dled the complaints that piled up. But its small and untrained investi gation staff was replaced last Octo- Ber with the internal affairs office. The new division now has 57 em ployees and will be increased to 78 people during the 1986-87 fiscal year, Jackson said. Prison officials say the extra help is sorely needed. Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 20, the Internal Affairs Division completed 736 investigations of complaints filed against employees and still had 700 cases pending. Of the 736 investigations com pleted, Jackson said, 424 involved in cases which excessive force was used by prison employees. Thirty of the excessive force cases were sustained by his office. When a case is sustained, it is re viewed by TDC legal counsel before any action is taken. James E. Riley, deputy director of operations, or the TDC’s three regional directors de cide on what discipline is given. “With very few exceptions, when ever a case is sustained against an employee, there is some kind of dis ciplinary action taken,” Riley said. Jackson said his office acts soley as administrative investigator and does not recommend discipline. The “ob jectivity” of this policy encourages people to cooperate with investiga tors, he said. Part of the Internal AffAirs Divi sion’s job, Riley said, is to see that TDC complies with court orders in volving the use of force on inmates. The orders stem from a 13-year-old civil rights lawsuit that attorneys for TDC and plaintiff inmates settled in July- TEXAS ASM AGGIE HORSE OWNERS WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS QUALITY HAY - New Mexico Alfalfa, Local Alfalfa & Coastal Bermuda QUALITY FEED - Evergreen & MG - Quality Feeds & Grains WOOD SHAVINGS - For Stall Bedding TACK - Vitamin Supplements, etc. LLOYD JOYCE AGRI SERVICES 1302 Groesbeck St. - Bryan, Texas 823-7596 Stanley H.
