Five Mexican illegals shot during botched robbery in Texas
In New Braunfels three days after entering the United States illegally, five Mexican youths aged 16 to 21 were robbed and executed on a rural road. Two suspects fled in a large blue vehicle, with four survivors in poor condition after surgery in San Antonio hospitals. Authorities say a ride offer turned deadly as the men were forced to kneel and shot, with one victim dying at the scene.

Reagan misspoke on farm debts and liquidity claim
Agriculture Secretary John Block said President Reagan misspoke when he vetoed a farm credit bill by claiming only about 4 percent of American farmers faced serious cash-flow problems. Block said the president meant a higher share, noting about 178,000 middle size farms with heavy debt and 18 percent of total production.

Farm price drop forecast under Reagan plan sparks Senate hearing
Secretary John Block outlined figures predicting year to year price declines for major crops under the proposed 15 year farm policy, with a rebound only by 1990 from renewed exports. He warned continued government involvement could cripple U S agriculture and warned of worsening farmer distress absent policy changes. Block forecast a 5 percent farm share this year and said losses may persist three to five years before easing. He asserted the decline in U S farms will continue due to external pressures, yet expressed optimism that the decade end could bring healthier, more profitable agriculture and no family farm demise.
