4 February 1,1983 Horror their fingers resting on the triggers of machine guns was the first thing Margaret saw when she arrived in the city where Julio's family lives. The Gramajos said the soldiers consist of aliens and native Indians whose only chance for survival is the military. "They're forced to do it. 1 can't blame them," said Julio "That's the only thing they can do to stay alive." The Gramajos said that the U.S. government supplies the Guatemalan government with their arms, and Margaret described single sold¬ iers armed with a machine gun in one hand, a rifle in the other and side arms on their hips, simultaneously "People are scared shitless. They don't talk 1 used to ask what's going on here, tell me. They say cool it man, watch it There is a saying there that the walls have ears, so they are afraid to talk," said Julio. The Gramajos were driven to a vista point one night to overlook the city lights "It was very beautiful, however the dead body that we almost ran over on the way was very shocking to me," said Mar garet. The Gramajos couldn't stop, oth erwise face the possibility of their arrest The Gramajos also spoke of the "meat wagons" in Guatamata They said it was not uncommon to drive up behind an uncovered truck on the highway carrying bodies "maybe" wrapped in sheets. Margaret said that the people don't have places tc sleep, and occupy the houses, the streets or alongside the high ways in the grass. It was common to find at least two or three people on their lather's doorstep each morning. Margaret said that when it rams they cover themselves with newspapers, and that cardboard boxes are sold to the peo pie which they use to make homes out of The Gramajos spoke of a troup of Gua temalans who once pubhcally sang a song about the cardboard houses that flank the countryside, and were later found dead, each massacred in a different manner, but each one's tongues were grotesquely pulled and stretched out of their mouths The Gramajos said that the soldiers have the right to search the people's homes 24 hours a day, looking for incrim mating evidence of subversiveness. Some are not even searched, but pros ecuted as guilty instantly, like one house hold of seventeen people who occupwd a house behind Julio's cousin's house. One day a truck load of soldiers drove up to the outside of the house and instantly opened machine gun fire on the house for four continuous hours, killing all seventeen inside. No questions were Julio said that in Guatemala, one is pre¬ sumed guilty until proven innocent and gave an example of this practice. Each day a doctor arrived to check on the condition of Julio's father, sometimes accompanied by a number of other doc¬ tors, Julio said. They would not accept any money from Julio, considering it a "privilege" to look after him. They consi¬ dered themselves friends of the family, and told Julio that his insistance to pay resulted from being in the U.S. too long. The doctor was accompanied every day by his own father, and one day, early "...they allow these corporations to go and rape the land and exploit the people." in the Gramajo's visit, the doctor arrived unaccompanied by his father The Gra¬ majo's inquired about his father's absence He replied that he didn't know where his father was, and whether or not The doctor's fathers house had been raided (or inspection the night before, and a chpof bullets, unfit for any modern wea¬ pon, and a souvenir from the 1944 revolu¬ tion, had been found in his house.

There are no problems. He's just out to fulfill a dream. . Blacksill, 21, was drafted by the Los Angeles Express of the newly-founded United States Football League last month, just one aspect in a turn of events that has changed his life lately. Training camp started Monday in Manhattan Beach, and the first Express game comes March 6 against the New Jersey Generals. Rusty Karraker, the Bulldog punter in the team's California Bowl-winning season, and former Fresno State running back Gary Carr are also due in USFL camps. Karraker recently signed with the Denver Gold while Carr is getting what should be his last shot at pro ball with the Oakland Invaders, Carr played for the 'Dogs in 1978 and 1979. Meanwhile, Blacksill, 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, has his labor cut out for him. Training' camps are not easy, especially those of pro football. But while Blacksill is toiling on the gridiron in Southern California, a new Blacksill, his wife Susan, remains in Fresno working at her full-time job. They were married Jan. 7, just three days after John was drafted in the 10th round. I've been married for 2H weeks and I don't want to pull her away from her job here to move to LA until I'm sure I've made the team," says Blacksill. Pack your bags, Susan. John Blacksill is prepared to tackle his new challenge. "I'm going down there with supreme confidence," says Blacksill. "1 wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't think I'd make the team. "Camp will last for five weeks," BlacksiD continues. "I don't know how many players will be there, 1 presume about 150, and they'll have to cut it down to about 40. FH be trying out for center and competing against five or six other guys for a starting position. "The competition (for a starting spot) will be more difficult than it was here.
