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.

Eruption, tremors cause

MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Mount Pinatubo spewed steam

heavy rains unleash tons of ash
piled on the volcano's slopes.
