city maps
^,1 id locked
with names
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK- It has
clogged the city's map, light
ened the city's purse and
burdened the city's sign
posts.
But the City Council just
can't stop renaming streets
after people — war heroes,
statesman, martyrs, Regis
Philbin.
"Regis Philbin?" asks car
tographer A1 Perri, keeper of
the increasingly cluttered
city map.
Last summer he was
amazed when part of Cruger
Avenue in the Bronx was re
named for the talk show
host, who grew up there.
"At this rate," he predicts,
"we'll have a city covered
with street signs!"
The trend concerns Perri,
who has had to shoehorn the
new street names into city
maps, including — until re
cently — its intricate zoning
charts.
The longer the honorary
name, the harder his job.

op Fulton J. Sheen PI." (East
43rd between Lexington and
Third) into a space smaller

Officials put end
to smuggling ring
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EL PASO— Fourteen people
have been arrested on charges of
smuggling dozens of Chinese citi
zens into the country illegally,
federal officials said Wednesday.
The arrests wrapped up a two-
and-a-half-month investigation
that showed immigrants would
pledge $36,000 each to be smug
gled into the United States. Un
known amounts were pledged by
immigrants who were moved
through Mexico and into the Unit
ed States.
"This was big business," said
David Ham, supervisor of the an
tismuggling unit of the Border Pa
trol that sent undercover agents to
act as drivers for the smuggling
ring.
The immigrants were flown
from China to Hong Kong and
then to Paris. From Paris they
were flown to Brazil and finally
Belize.
They went from Belize to Mexi
co and traveled north to the Ciu
dad Juarez-El Paso border.
They crossed into the United
States mainly through holes in a
fence separating an El Paso high
school from the Rio Grande.
Some of the people were deliv
ered to undercover agents at the
school's football stadium parking
lot.
From El Paso they were taken
to various U.S. cities, including
Los Angeles, New York, Houston
and Portland.
Also arrested in the investiga
tion were 21 illegal immigrants.
Agents seized $36,000 and four
vehicles.
The last arrest was made Oct.
16.
Ubaldo Gamboa-Tapia, 34, of
Mexico City, is accused of being
the person who moved the immi
grants through Mexico.
"Even as we were (arresting)
his compadres here, he was con
tinuing to bring them up," said
Mike Connell, assistant chief in
the antismuggling unit.
"It was very lucrative," Ham
said.
Agents believe Gamboa-Tapia
was a key person in the Mexico
smuggling ring.
"The sad thing is about this is
the people we're catching are re
sponsible for the transportation
into the United States, but we
don't have access to the people in
China. They're the ones making
all the money."
The immigrants likely would
end up working in sweatshops or
restaurants to earn the $36,000
they owed the Chinese smuggling
ring that got them out of China.
"I had one alien in Portland
who thought he could make that
money in three years," Ham said.
The El Border Patrol also
worked with anti-smuggling
units in Los Angeles and Immi
gration and Naturalization Ser
vice investigators in Portland,
Ore.

I HUNTSVILLE — A Canadian man awaiting exe-
I cution this week for killing a Texas woman in 1975
! has had his death date moved to December.
Joseph Faulder, 54, was scheduled for lethal injec
tion early Friday for the stabbing death of Inez
Phillips, 75, of Gladewater.
Judge Gary Stephens, a visiting judge in
I Longview, this week moved Eaulder's execution
date to Dec. 4, Assistant Attorney General Bill Za-
palacsaid Wednesday.
"Additional time will be required to prepare a
[written finding of facts and conclusions of law,"
| Stephens wrote in a brief order.
Faulder has had several of the postponements,
known as date modifications. Such delays are not
unusual in Texas death penalty cases. Eaulder's case
| has attracted the attention of death penalty oppo-
inents and Canadian authorities, who say the execu
tion would be an apparent violation of the Vienna
| Convention on Consular Relations.
i Under the treaty, Texas authorities should have
informed Faulder of his right to contact the Canadi
an government for help and should have informed
the Canadian consulate of Eaulder's detention.
Faulder was in a Texas prison for 15 years before
the Canadian government and his family, who be
lieved he was dead, learned of his whereabouts.
State authorities contended Faulder was carrying
an American state's driver's license at the time of his
arrest and had applied for a Texas license. Although
officials were aware he had ties to Canada and even
had served prison time there, it was not immediately
certain he was a citizen, Zapalac said.
Faulder was convicted of breaking into Phillips'
home because he believed she had money hidden in
a floor safe. When he found no money, prosecutors
said he stole other household valuables, including
the woman's wedding ring.
Phillips was bound and gagged with tape and
beaten on the head with a blackjack. She also was
stabbed with a knife, which was left imbedded in her
chest.
Faulder, who has refused repeated requests for in
terviews while on death row, was charged with the
killing nearly two years later while being held on an
unrelated charge in Colorado.
Flis first conviction and death sentence was
thrown out by an appeals court. A second trial re
sulted in another death sentence.
Records show the former auto mechanic had
served time in prison from 1956 to 1961 in Manitoba
and British Columbia.
Prescription drugs more expensive
in U.S., congressional study says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON- Prescription
drugs cost an average of 32 per
cent more in the United States
than in Canada, according to a
congressional study released
Wednesday.
I The difference in manufactur
ers' prices is due not to variations
in the drug makers' costs, but
rather to Canadian government
programs that use mass buying
power and regulation to limit pre-
on
trough
»the
»The
ia
letiof
scription prices, the study said.
The General Accounting Office,
Congress' investigative arm, sur
veyed manufacturers' prices for
121 of the most frequently pre
scribed drugs. While a few drugs
were cheaper in the United States,
most were substantially more ex
pensive.
One drug used for control of
angina, Wyeth-Ayerst Laborato
ries' Isordil, cost more than nine
times as much in the United States
as in Canada.
Antibiotics, pain relievers, birth
control pills, anti-depressants and
other preparations were among
those that cost more.
"Once again, the United States
is behind the rest of the world in
providing affordable health care
to our people," said Rep. Henry
Waxman, D-Calif., who asked the
GAO for the study.
"Canada has found ways to
control prescription drug prices,"
said Waxman, chairman of the
House Energy and Commerce
subcommittee on health and the
environment.
