Page 4 The Battalion Thursday, June 27, 11 r i INS increases efforts to locate stowaways WASHINGTON (AP) — The Immigration and Naturalization Service is redoubling efforts to inspect trains entering the coun try for illegal alien stowaways as the summer heat begins pushing temperatures inside boxcars to 180 degrees. der. The Kansas City area also will be included, the INS said. We are trying to avert a trage- tiyii Cor dy," INS Commissioner Gene McNary said Wednesday in an nouncing the effort, code-named Operation Iron Horse II. "We are especially concerned about the hot summer months ahead of us. The temperature inside a closed boxcar can soar to 160 to 180 de grees and quickly dehydrate a person." Four years ago, 18 Mexican men died in a locked, steel- walled boxcar in the desert near Sierra Blanca, east of El Paso. One man survived by using a spike to punch a hole through the floor and breathed through the opening, but the others per ished as temperatures climbed to 120 degrees. A smuggler had locked them in. Trains entering the country from Mexico and Canada, as well as those crossing the coun try, will be checked for alien stowaways. It is only the second time that the INS has launched such a con certed, nationwide effort to in spect freight yards and trains for illegal aliens, said spokesman Verne Jervis. The first Operation Iron Horse was in February. In the first four days of the op eration, which began Saturday, the INS said a total of 1,365 aliens were arrested, including 171 aliens who were being smug gled. A total of 40 alien smug glers have been taken into cus tody during the inspections, INS said. Jervis said the agency would never have so many arrests of aliens in freight cars and yards under normalcircumstances. The increased inspections will involve Border Patrol sectors from San Diego east to Brownsville on the Southwest border, and from Blaine, Wash., to Detroit on the Canadian bor- The increased inspections have resulted in two groups of aliens being discovered in locked boxcars in Laredo, including one containing 14 aliens. Two smug glers were arrested. In Lubbock, agents uncovered a smuggling case involving 22 aliens and a smuggler.
