According to published

The 56-year-old Phoenix service sta-

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Army
will begin construction early next
year at the Longhorn Army Ammuni-
tion Plant in Marshall, Texas, of a $3.5
million pilot project for the production
of a new explosive compound known
as HMX. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas,
has announced.
Tower said in a statement Wednes-
day that the pilot will be the first
phase in a five-year 8500 million ex-
pansion of the Longhorn facility pro-
posed by the Army.
He said the Army needs to produce
large quantities of HMX and another
compound known as RDX. used as ex- •
plosives and propellants in major
missies and weapons programs.
Both compounds will be manufac-
tured at Longhorn, which Tower said
was "ideally suited tor a major pro-
ject of this nature ” He said the pro-
gram could bring hundreds of new
jobs and substantial capital invest-
ment to the area.
Tower said the first phase pilot pro-
ject would be used to verify produc-

BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) - Police
said complaints that illegal aliens
were taking jobs away from U.S.
citizens prompted the arrest Wednes-

Most of the illegal aliens were put

Kothmann said.
Kothman said the illegal aliens
were making from 83.50 to $5.50 an
hour working at the four companies.
Legal workers usually are paid 87 to
88 an hour to do the same jobs.
The area, largely dependent on oil-
related industries, has been plagued
by double-digit unemployment for
more than a year.
Kothman said the investigation will
continue and more arrests are ex-
