The two were separated from the boy's mother in Mexico. She was to meet them later in Los Angeles' Salvadoran community. Cowan said the family's village of San Marcos near San Salvador was destroyed by aerial bombs, prompting the family to leave and enter the United States illegally.

Cowan said the family feared being killed or being denied a permit if they had sought Salvadoran approval to make the trip. She said it took them 28 days by bus and on foot. Jay Segal, a U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service hearing officer, ac cepted the applications for asylum and said another hearing will be held after the documents are processed. Segal allowed the boy to remain in the care of Superior Court Judge Robert J.

Hooker and his wife until the deportation issue is settled. Vasquez Aparicio is staying with other Tucson residents. Cowan told the judge she represented the boy and his aunt, but Segal said he wanted lawyers to represent them in future proceedings. The hearing for the boy lasted eight minutes, with three minutes for his aunt. Cowan told the demonstrators that the "struggle for them (the boy and his aunt) and other Salvadorans has just begun." She advocated spotlighting "every deportation hearing" for Salvadorans as a means of "keeping up the pressure" against the U.S.

government. She read a news release in English and Spanish that was partially headlined: "El Salvador: Next Viet Nam? U.S. Guns Kill U.S. Nuns." "The American government has consistently supported the same Salvadoran officials who have effectively executed this campaign of misery," Cowan charged. She said the council demands that all Salvadoran refugees in the United States be granted political asylum.

Broadway Tucson 886-3031 ml mm i Mexican can tell 'chaining' story A young Mexican national who was allegedly chained for 24 hours and threatened by a rancher last October will be allowed to tell his story at the rancher's trial. Superior Court Judge Thomas Meehan denied a defense motion yesterday that would have prevented Manuel Hernandez Garcia, 20, from repeating statements he made to the Border Patrol after officers rescued him from a locked closet in the home of Walter M. Burris Jr. Bums is accused of chaining Garcia to a tree, threatening him and firing a pistol in his direction. He is charged with unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping and aggravated assault.

The incident occurred after Burris accused Garcia of stealing some tools, according to investigators. Garcia, who has also been arrested as an illegal alien, said he was working for Burris on his ranch off Highway 83. Burris was arrested after the Border Patrol received an anonymous phone tip that an alien was chained to a tree. Pima County sheriff's deputy Gary Force was sent to investigate, and testified yesterday he had difficulty finding the house. He stopped a neighbor, William Thayer, and explained the situation.

"The only person crazy enough to do something like that is Burris," Force said Thayer told him. The two men reported they went to Burns' ranch and followed an 82-foot logging chain from a tree in the back yard into the house. Force said he noticed a closet and found Garcia inside. Garcia initially told Force and Thayer that he had not been chained. But when he was taken to BJrder Patrol headquarters, he said he had been and that Burris had shot at him.

Defense attorney Tom Higgins argued yesterday that those statements should not be admitted at the trial because Force did not have a good reason to open the closet door. Deputy County Attorney Sydney Davis said there was enough cause to investigate the Burris home.
