Chicago Tribune. Tuesday, April 27, 1982 Section 1 i Agents nab job-holding illegal aliens in Ch By Ronald Koziol FEDERAL AGENTS on Monday seized S' A ir 1 4 federal minimum wage of $3:35 an hour, "We are hopeful that we will uncover' jobs held by illegal aliens that could be held by legal residents," said Verne Jer-vis, INS spokesman in Washington. INFORMATION about the raids has been given to placement agencies andf unions so the vacated jobs can be given to legal residents, INS officials said. The other targets of the crackdown are the metropolitan areas of Newark, N.J.; New York; Denver; Detroit; Houston; Dallas; Los Angeles; and San Francisco. Jervis said the raids, which eventually will hit about 300 U.S.

job sites, are not aimed at any nationality, but nearly all of the people seized in the Chicago area more than 200 illegal aliens in the Chicago area as part of a nine-city crackdown. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service began the sweep Monday morning, aiming at illegal aliens holding blue-collar and semiskilled round-up is expected to last' at least through Wednesday. It was the first sweep of its kind in the Chicago area and the first major crackdown by the INS since 1954, when the service sent agents into the Spanish-speaking barrios of Texas and California. MANUFACTURING plants in Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Franklin Park, St.

Charles, Addison and Chicago were among the sites raided Monday, said Ted Giorgetti, deputy director of enforcement for the INS in Chicago. He said the wages of those apprehended ranged from $5 to $9 an hour. "Most were employed in jobs that would be attractive td U.S. citizens," he said. As many as 5,000 people nationwide are expected' to be seized in the "selected" arrests by the INS, which is zeroing in on illegal aliens who are paid more than the ill deportation were being put aboard airliners for El Paso.

Seventy-five INS agents raided 10 job sites in northwest Cook County, in Lake County and on Chicago's South Side. Bud Geyner, chief of area control op-, erations for the INS office in Chicago, said that two manufacturing sites yielded 45 illegal aliens each and that another yielded 22. More than 100 illegal aliens were arrested at a business in Houston on Mon- day, according to Vince Henderson, INS director of investigation in that Texas' city. Henderson said the raids there will continue through the week at a rate of about 200 arrests daily. THE INS estimates that about 150,000 illegal aliens are apprehended yearly, not only at border crossings but in factories, on farms and in other areas of employment.

The impending raids were announced last week by Joseph director of enforcement for the INS, who said 400 agents around the country would take part. "We're not going after janitors and busboys," Salgado warned then. Although the raids are aimed at employed people, it has been charged that illegal aliens' also are receiving millions of dollars in unemployment benefits to which they are not entitled. Earlier this month, Illinois Atty. Gen.

Tyrone Fahner estimated that unless the fraud is stopped, illegal aliens in Illinois alone will be able to collect as much as $66.2 million a year in unemployment benefits. Although aliens who enter the country legally are entitled to unemployment benefits if they lose their jobs, Illegal aliens are not. are from Mexico. Officials said those apprehended are being given the choice of immediate deportation or an appearance before an immigration judge. By midafternoon Monday two chartered Greyhound buses loaded with male illegal aliens had left a processing center near O'Hare International Airport.

The buses were bound for El Paso, a deportation center for' those being returned to Mexico.

McMahon Reagan's pick for head of the CIA is "a solid 1 WLS radio sidekick dies after routine surgery I "HIV! Marcus Palmer Disc jockeys Steve Dahl and Garry Meier probably his closest friends, WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan has picked John N. McMahon, a 30-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency, to succeed Adm.

Bobby Inman as the spy organization's deputy director, the White House announced Monday. Larry Speakes, deputy White House press secretary, said Reagan considers McMahon "to be' a solid profes- sional, a career public servant" who is respected "throughout the intelligence community." Reagan's intention to nominate McMahon was announced in a written statement with no fanfare. Sources who' asked not-to be identified said who now holds the No. 3 post in the agency, had been recommended by CIA Director, WuV-liam J. Casey.

i McMahon's appointment must be confirmed by the Senate after hearings by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Some committee members expressed concern over the choice of a deputy after Inman's decision to enter private business was announced by the White House last Wednesday. FIRST WORD that a successor had been picked came Sunday from committee member Henry Jackson On CBS-TV's "Face the Nation," Jackson said that a veteran, career official would be named and "it will be a man that all of us respect in the Intelligence Committee." Although Jackson would not identify the choice by name, the senator said, "I think he is a first-rate professional and will help the morale within the professional service because he has been selected out of the professional service." "It was a very close relationship, even though it seemed abrasive on the air," Meier said. "He knew it was all in fun, just as we poke fun at ourselves and everyone else. But we were the only guys' trying to help the guy.

I'd gotten him a job, and Steve had gotten him several jobs. He just wasn't motivated. We took him under our wing and tried to help." MR. PALMER BECAME associated with Dahl and Meier when they were working for WLUP FM in the summer of J980. Meier said he and Dahl learned about the complications of Mr.

Palmer's surgery when Dahl called the hospital Monday afternoon to check on Mr. Palmer's "We kept keeping in touch with the hospital, and Steve called about 4:30 p.m. A nurse or somebody answered and said, 'Sorry, sorry, cardiac "He is the last person I would think would be dead.at 20. He was rambunctious all the time. He was such a character.

He never really worried about anything. "I guess he did have the right attitude. We thought a lot of him. Steve and I are shocked about this." By Michael Tackett and Ron Alridge MARCUS PALMER, the affable assistant to radio disc' jockeys Steve Dahl and Garry Meier, Monday in Cook County Hospital, apparently of a heart attack, after' surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids, a hospital spokesman said. Ironically, Mr: Palmer's adenoid problems and his eventual operation had been part of a long-running joke on Dahl's afternoon drive-time radio show on WLS -FM.

Dahl and Meier repeatedly had teased Mr. Palmer about the operation, and as late as early Monday afternoon they had been joking about its outcome. A spokesman for Cook County Hospital said that Mr. Palmer successfully underwent surgery but that afterward he apparently pulled an oxygen tube from his nose. He then stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest, the spokesman said, and the surgical team was unable to restart his heart.

He died at 3:29 p.m. THE CAUSE of death be determined by the Cook County medical examiner's office. Before becoming executive director, McMahon, 52, had run the agency's National Foreign Assessments Center, which produces intelligence estimates -for the government During the Carter administration, he was deputy director for operations, in charge of the agency's clandestine spy network. McMahon also has experience in the CIA's administrative' division and in its scientific and technical division. ONE SOURCE SAID there had never before been a deputy director with as broad a range of background as McMahon's.

This source said his selection would "give a tremendous boost to agents in the field." Traditionally, one of the two top jobs in the CIA has gone to a military officer, but that has not always been the case. When Vice President George Bush headed, the CIA during the Ford administration, his deputy was a career CIA man rather than a military officer. 'Federal law prohibits having two military officers in charge of the agency. Mr. Palmer, 20, a West Side resident who was employed by Dahl and Meier and not the station, was the constant object of the pair's caustic wit.

But Meier said Mr. Palmer always understood that it was part of the routine and that, in fact, Dahl and Meier probably were his closest friends. Milwaukee judge acts Socialists ousted in 2 cops cleared in death of black REGINA, Canada (AP The Progressive Conservative Party scored a-stunning upset in Saskatchewan's general election Monday, ending 11 years of rule by the socialist New Democratic Party. Conservatives won 50 of the 64 seats and were leading in five other districts, while the New Democrats won only five and were leading in tout, Canadian Press reported. It was the worst NDP defeat in Saskatchewan since the party first to power in 1944.

In the outgoing legislature, the New Democrats held 44 of the 61 seats, the Conservatives had IS and there were two members of the Unionist Party who did not seek re-election. Redistricting added three seats in this election. Heart is blamed in death of video game patron, 18 pressure applied to the back. Paramedics testified that Lacy had stopped breathing and had no heartbeat when they arrived and said they had trouble getting information from police on the scene about what had happened to him. Lacy's death touched off vociferous protests by the city's blacks.

A group called "The Coalition for Justice for Ernie Lacy" recently boycotted the city's two main downtown department stores and a shopping center. Last summer, the group held numerous rallies and protests. THE MISCONDUCT complaints contended that De' kker and Kalt had violated Wisconsin law by failing to obey a rule of the Milwaukee Police Department requiring first aid. But Geske's decisi6n said the police rule "is not lav and does not have the force of law." She said the only issue before the court was Whether there was probable cause that the defendants broke the Wisconsin law dealing with misconduct. The complaint did not state facts to support that charge, she said.

MILWAUKEE (APJ-A judge "dismissed the last remaining charges Monday against members of the police department in the case of Ernest Lacy, a young black man who died while in custody last summer. Circuit Judge Janine Geske said there was a lack of probable cause to charge officers James Dekker. and George Kalt with misconduct in public office. 22, died shortly after his. arrest July 9 in connection with a rape.

It was later determined that he didn't commit -the crime. Dekker, Kalt and officer Thomas Eliopul, all white, originally were charged with homicide by reckless con' duct, but those charges were dismissed. Later, Dekker and Kalt were charged with misconduct. WITNESSES AT an inquest 'last fall testified that -police had held Lacy face-down on the street and pulled his handcuffed arms upright behind his back. Police said Lacy had tried to escape.

The inquest jury said Lacy apparently died of lack of oxygen to the brain and a resulting nerve reflex from By Steve Kerch AN 18-YEAR-OLD South Holland youth died of a heart attack while playing" a video game in Calumet City, the Lake County, coroner ruled Monday. Deputy Lake County Coroner Mark Allen said the possibility that Peter Bukowski died earlier this month as a direct result of stress caused by the. game was investigated, "but we don't want to say yes or no' whether the video game represents enough exertion to have brought on the attack." Dr. Robert Eliot, of the University of Nebraska, released a study this month 0.1-7W' saying video games can be hazardous to people who may be susceptible to heart disease. Allen is going to forward the autopsy results to Eliot for comparison with Eliot's test results.

THE OFFICIAL cause of Bukowskl's death is a heart attack "brought on by a myocardial inflammation. He collapsed April 3 at the Friar Tuck game room in River Oaks Shopping Center and was pronounced dead at St. Margaret's Hospital, Hammond." Allen said the inflammation, a scarring of the heart tissue, was something Bukowski would have had prigr to playing the game. Coroner's, of fiqe investigators inspected the "Berserk" game that Bukowski had been playing, but found no electronic defects. BUKOWSKI HAD no history of heart trouble, and Allen compared the case to others in which high school athletes had died for similar reasons.

Allen said the heart attack could have been caused by any type of exertion, like "hiking up a flight of stairs or running from first to second base."
