EL PASO (AP) — Two
friends of an exotic dancer
are jailed Wednesday in the
21-year-old woman’s stran
gulation, for which her
mother’s scarf was used.
Arelene Shaioni Prince,
20, and 21-year-old Marla
Duran were arrested and
charged Tuesday with the
murder of Latina Tasha
Holmes.
The dancer was found
strangled in her apartment at
9:10 p.m. Saturday.
Holmes’ mother, Dianne
Anderson, said Prince called
her on Sunday to tell her that
her daughter was dead.
“It was such a slap in the
face,” Anderson told the £7
Paso Times in Wednesday’s
editions. “They (Prince and
Duran) went around saying
that the three of them were
like the ‘Three Musketeers.’
But they used my scarf to
kill my daughter.”
Prince and Duran,
booked into the El Paso
County Jail on $250,000
bond each on murder
charges, confessed Tuesday
to the weekend killing.
Holmes and Prince, who
had worked together as ex
otic dancers at an East Side
nightclub, had a “long
standing feud,” said Assis-

FORT WORTH. Texas (AP) — Gi
ant defense contractor Lockheed Mar
tin is putting pressure on machinists in
the third day of their strike with an
weekend ultimatum to approve the
company’s last contract offer.
Meanwhile, members of Local 776
of the International Association of Ma
chinists (IAM) spent part of Tuesday,
night avoiding thundershowers as they
continued picketing in front of the plant
that features a mile-long assembly line.
With machinists walking picket lines
outside. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
Co. was try ing to resume some product
tion work with salaried, non-striking
workers. Executives boasted of expect
ing to deliver fighter jets on time thy
month, despite the walkout by nearly
2,500 hourly w age-earning machinists.
Company executives, in a letter to
the plant's 10,500 workers, said it has
imposed a midnight Sunday deadline
for approval of the same contract of
fer rejected earlier by IAM membciis.
“I encourage employees represented
by the IAM to review the offer," wrote
Dain Hancock, president of the Fort
Worth, Texas-based division that oper
ates the plant. “If you come to the con
clusion that the terms are fair, you
should convey this to the union leaders
who represent you.”
But Local 776 members contend the
last offer is inferior to one approved in
August in Seattle by machinists for
Boeing, Lockheed Martin’s rival as
prime tactical fighter contractor.
“If Mr. Hancock wants to commu
nicate with the membership, he should
do it through the union leadership,”
Lane told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
in an interview. “Sending a letter di
rectly to the members is not conducive
to good labor relations.”
A state district judge on Tuesday re
fused Lockheed’s request for a re
straining order to limit pickets during
shift changes at the plant, when pickets
at 10 gates back up traffic and delay
non-striking w-orkers from getting in
and out of the plant.
Union members want stronger pro
visions for job security in a new con
tract, along with cost-of-living adjust
ments and equality with plants doing
the same work.
No violence or disruptions on pick
et lines at the 59-year-old plant have
been reported. But White Settlement
police said nails were found Tuesday
scattered in Spur 341, the main road
into the plant. Police Chief David
Place said the nails may have spilled
accidentally.
