BROWNSVILLE, Texas — A convicted Sanctuary Movement volunteer said yesterday that he was prepared to go to jail rather than abide by a federal judge's requirements that he quit working with Salvadoran refugees at a shelter near the N.S.-Mexico border.

ELDER, CONVICTED WITH Merkt last month in Houston, also forfeited a chance for two years probation for his conviction on six counts of conspiracy, landing and transporting illegal Salvadorans, rather than abide by Vela's order that he dissociate himself from the center while not talking publicly about the issue.
Jack Elder, 41, director of the Catholic-sponsored Casa Oscar Romero refuge shelter in San Benito, Texas, and layworker Stacey Lym Merkt, 30, who had the support of 50 members of Congress, were sentenced to short prison terms and ordered to dissociate themselves from the Sanctuary Movement while appealing their cases.
Attorney Stephen Cooper, St. Paul, Mim., however, later told reporters that Elder had decided he could not abide by those conditions and would go back before U.S. District Judge Robert Hicks, taking rising immediate imprisonment.
Both remained free on $25,000 bonds, posted by John Joseph Fitzpatrick, the Catholic Bishop of Brownsville, founder of Case Oscar Romero.

The Sanctuary Movement is a loose network of about 1,000 churches with 50,000 members throughout the nation who openly state their intention to assist Central American refugees regardless of U.S. policies or laws
The movement has assisted about 3,000 Central Americans since August 1983. The refugees have said they face torture and death in their
Elder was convicted of six counts of conspiracy and transporting three Salvadornas. Merkt, who already was on two years probation for a similar offense a year ago, was convicted of conspiracy.
Cocaine raids result in 16 arrests
By United Press International
CULVER CITY, Calif. — Sixteen people were arrested and $23 million in cocaine was confiscated in raids that will have a significant impact on Southern California drug supplies, narcotics officers said yesterday.
The arrests and seizure of 143 pounds of cocaine climaxed a three-
month investigation into a narcotics ring extending from California to Florida to South America dubbed the "Miami-Bogota Connection."
million," said Lt. Bill Burck of the Police Department's Selective Enforcement Section.
"More significant than the amount of cocaine seized is the fact that the 16 people who were arrested were arrested while in the process of buying cocaine, and it is the smallest transaction involved cocaine with the street value of $1
police earlier this month announced the arrests of five people, including a Beverly Hills building contractor who allegedly was a main figure in the ring. They also seized a cache of arms, $7,500 in cash and 88 pounds of cocaine with: a street value of $2 million.
Hot ocean spring breeds new life
CORVALLIS, Ore. — The hottest water ever recorded on the planet was measured at 750 degrees on the ocean floor off the Washington coast where strange life forms thrive in the superheated environment, a researcher said yesterday.
By United Press International
Tube worms, giant clams and bacteria that thrive on noxious gases were found in the hot water oasis, he said.
The water, spurting from a hot spring on the Juan de Fuca Ridge 300 miles west of Seattle, measured 400 degrees centigrade, or about 750 feet. University of Denver, Oregon State University oceanography professor.
Dymond was part of a research team that used the submarine Alvin last summer to investigate the ocean floor off the Northwest coast.
The OSU geochemist said that the intense pressure of the $ \frac{1}{12} $ miles of ocean above the hot spring kept the superheated water in liquid form,
rather than allowing it to escape as vapor.
THE MINERAL DEPOSITS, some of which contain copper and zinc, have caused a good deal of interest, the OSU researcher said. A dense concentration of mineral chimneys was discovered and mapped by the Alvin researchers in the area of the Juan de Fuca Ridge where the hot water was measured.
But Dymond said the scientific value of the new-found ocean environment might be much more
important than any mineral potential.
"It's not just the not water, but the diverse biological communities that thrive in this hot, gaseous water that makes these hot springs valuable." Dymond said.
One widely accepted biological theory was that life cannot exist in temperatures above boiling. But Dymond said the existence of the hot springs oasis indicated that "we may have not yet found a definition of where life can exist."
