Central Americans seek
shelter in Brownsville
BROWNSVILLE (AP) —Central
Americans and other asylum-seekers
in southern Texas need federal hu
manitarian relief — possibly shelter
— while their cases are decided, U.S.
Rep. Solomon Ortiz says.
The Ckfrpus Chnsti democrat
planned to join a special Justice De-
E rtment team Tuesday in taking a
st-hand look at the immigrants'
needs.
“The current crisis in Cameron
County is a direct result of a national
policy, and therefore requires a fed
eral solution,” Ortiz said. .
His district includes the southern
tip of the state, the crossing point for
more than 30,000 asylum applicants
last year, according to the Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service.
“We cannot have a refugee policy
that encourages people to come to
this country to apply for political
asylum, then leave them on the
streets to freeze and starve,” Ortiz
said. “All this does is create a health
hazard and burden the local com
munity.”
The problem of homeless immi
grants worsened here after the INS
on Dec. 16 adopted a procedure de
signed to keep asylum-seekers in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley during the
30 days or more it would take to de
cide their claims for refugee status.
Hundreds of Central Americans,
no longer able to travel to their U.S.
destinations to seek asylum, began
campins in empty lots and con
demned buildings.
U.S. District Judge Fdemon Vela
on Monday freed the aliens to travel
again when he blocked the 3-week-
old INS policy until T hursday, whe ; n
the judge plans to hold a hearing in
a lawsuit filed against the immigra
tion service.
Despite the order, Ortiz said there
still is need for sheltering the immi
grants. “There’s a lot of people com
ing through the pipeline." he said.
The congressman said he would
survey the situation in Cameron
County with a three-member team
arriving from the Justice Depart
ment’s Community Relations Service
in Washington.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Soldiers arrested Oil Work
ers Union boss Joaquin Hernandez Galicia and other
union leaders in a gun battle at his home Tuesday in an
essentially political crackdown on what is known as the
most powerful and allegedly corrupt union in Mexico.
One federal agent was killed in the gunfire between
soldiers, agents and bodyguards a^ Hernandez Galicia's
home in the northeastern oil city of Ciudad Madero, an
Attorney General's Office statement said.
It said he was accused of illegal amassing of weapons
and smuggling of weapons barred by law. -
An estimated 6,000 oil workers and their supporters
walked off their jobs in Mexico City, where the head
quarters of the state-owned oil monopoly Pemex is lo
cated, and marched to the huge Zocalo Plaza shouting
“Freedom for Joaquin," known as “La Quina."
The Mexican l-abor Federation, or CTM, protested
the arrest and workers also left their jobs at Petrolcos
. Mexicanos installations in the Tampico-Ciudad Madero
area in the northeast to demand his release.
Soldiers occupied installations of Petroleos Mexica
nos, S.A., in Tampico and Ciudad Madero, 220 miles
northeast of Mexico City on the Gulf of Mexico and 250
miles south of Brownsville where workers also left their
jobs in protest, Ruben Diaz de la Garza, director of the
newspaper El Solde Tampico said by telephone.
Agriculture and Water Resources Department em
ployees in Tampico walked out in support of the oil
workers, he said.
Jose Sosa, another prominent union leader, and 16
others were arrested, tne Attorney General's office said.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of union secre
tary general Salvador Barragan Camacho, a former
senator.
More than 200 Uzi automatics and 40 other weapons,
along with 300,000 bullets were found in the house, the
Attorney General’s Office said.
“The finding and possession of those weapons and
bullets in the house permit the presumption of respon
sibility of the people arrested for investigation,” the At
torney General’s office statement said,
j Longtime labor leader Fidel Velazquez, head of the
CTM, said he would demand Hernandez Galicia's re
lease. ^ ,
“I am worried, disgusted, because I can't allow this to
happen in Mexico,” he said in a news conference.
A statement from the CTM, the largest labor feder
ation and part of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary
Party, called the arrest “arbitrary and with excessive dis
play of force."
"We reject what has happened because, if is not cor
rected, it could open a stage in the life of the country
that no one wants: the stage of authoritarianism that
could lead, in turn, to anarchy and reaccionary vio
lence," the statement said.
Barragan Camacho was said to be at CTM headquar
ters.
Witnesses to the arrest said Hernandez Galicia was
still wearing only his undershorts when soldiers took
him from his home to an airplane about 9 a.m. Tues
day, Diaz de la Garza said.
Newspapers and television stations, reflecting the
government view and longstanding criticism of corrup
tion against someone tied to the government for years,
exuberantly praised his arrest.
“At Last 'La Quina Fell,’" read a banner headline in
three-inch letters in a special edition of the newspaper
ExceUor.

find clues
of bombing
LONDON (AP) — The bomb
that blew up Pan Am Flight 103
ruptured the fuselage in the area
of the cargo hold just ahead of
the wing, and probably contained
Semtex plastic explosives, author
ities said Tuesday.
“Initial examinations have es
tablished that the explosive de
vice ruptured the fuselage on the
left side in the area of the No. I
cargo-baggage hold just forward
of the wing, a bulletin from the
Air Accidents Investigation
Branch said.
It did not say what explosives
were used, but Transport Secre
tary Paul Channon said it was
probably Semtex.
The authorities did not sayhow
they arrived at their conclusions.
Semtex, made in Czechoslova
kia, is a powerful plastic explosive
that is difficult to detect and is be
lieved to be available to several
terrorist groups.
The indications that Semtex
was used point to some “well-or
ganized and well-supplied terror
ist group,” Channon told Parlia
ment.
“It is too early to say yet where
the article which contained the
explosive originated." he said.
Although Czechoslovakia den
ied it was Semtex that blew up
Flight 103 on Dec. 21, it is send
ing four experts to Britain to as
sist the investigation. Foreign Of
fice Minister William Waldegrave
said they would arrive Wednes
day and Thursday.
Flight 103 blew up at 31,000
feet, .killing all 259 people on
board and 11 on the ground in
Lockerbie, the Scottish town that
bore the brunt of the falling de
bris. . *
Channon rejected accusations
that the government refrained
from warning the public of a
bomb threat against Pan Am.
Referring to evidence that U.S.
embassies were warned of a spe
cific threat to blow up a Pan Am
flight from Frankfurt to London,
he said such warnings were con
stantly being received, and where
changes are needed in airport se
curity, these were implemented.
But in this case, he said, the
British were given to understand
that the threat “had little credibil-
ity.” ")
