Spy Suspect Had Access To Top

National Secrets, Sources Say

By Lee Byrd

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABC

WASHINGTON A top career diplomat suspected of collaborating with Soviet agents in Vienna had access to some of the nations m(Kt sensitive non-nuclear secrets and once ran the U.S. embassy in that espionage-rich city before he was sent home for insubordination, sources said Saturday.

Meanwhile, Felix S. Bloch, former deputy chief of mission at the em-ba^y in Austria, has received FBI apixi)val t leave his Washington luxurv apartment. But the ireillance of Bloch continues at a

survc

new, unspecified location.

News reported Saturday.

Bloch, who has not been charged with any crime, is the highest-ranking U.S. diplomat ever identified as the target of an intelligence investigation involving the Soviet Union.

The government is keeping close tabs on Bloch so he wont ilee but ABC said that federal officials also are concerned that he might try to hurt himself.

Bloch was last seen by fellow residents of his apartment building on Thursday. Since then, they say, a heavy contingent of government agents, whose surveillance of Bloch

had been obvious to his neighbors for weeks, apparently has departed as well. *

The FBI declined comment Saturday about the status of its investigation, which was brought to light the previous night by an ABC News report which said he had been videotaped passing a briefcase to a Soviet KGB agent in Vienna.

That incident, according to sources who declined to be identified, occurred early this year, more than a year after Bloch was reassigned to a largely bureaucratic post in Washington.

Government sources told ABC that, once confronted with allega

tions of his spying, Bloch fell apart emotionally.

The report said Bloch has been in

terrogated two times and claimed he would cooperate. But one govern

ment analyst told the television network that Blochs cooperation has been extremely limited.

A team of government psychologists, ABC said, does not believe that Bloch spied for money.

Sources told ABC that Bloch claimed he spied because he fell into a Soviet sex trap but investigators have discounted that story.

Census Figures Will Be Watched Closely

By Stuart Savage

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Pitt County may top 100,(XX) in population, Dare and Carteret should show good growth, but the 1st Congressional District could include more- counties following the 1990 census.

In just a few months, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin counting heads and gathering other information for the 1990 census.

The material gathered by the every-lO-year census has many uses. It lets those interested know where people live, how much they make, what kinds of jobs they have, and on and on.

Population figures - how many people live where are used by governments to allocate funds for any number of programs.

And population figures based on the one-man one-vote doctrine - are used to establish congressional districts, state House and Senate districts, even county and municipal election districts.

Countys First Female Magistrate Appointed

to serve Pitt Cou.ity is set to take her oath of office Monday in the Pitt County Courthouse.

David E. Reid Jr. of Greenville,

The first female magistrate ever _ pitts resident Superior Court judge,

has appointed Cheryl Yvette '^son, 26, of Winterville to the position of magistrate.

In a news release, Reid said Ms. Tyson will be the first woman magistrate in Pitt County since the position was created in 1968.

I am proud to have the privilege of appointing Pitt Countys first woman magistrate. Ms. Cheryl Tyson is personally committed to serving the people of Pitt County and has the educational training qualifying her to be a top-flight magistrate, Reid said in the release.

A Pitt County native and a graduate of D.H. Conley High School, Ms Tyson earned a degree in criminal justice from North Carolina Central University in 1981. William Nicholls Jr., trial court administrator for Pitt County, said Ms. Tyson will be the

WASHINGTON - Any outsider thinking about running for Congress better plan on spending more than a quarter of a million dollars or forget about it, according to a campaign finance study released Saturday.

Even then, a challenger would face long odds and probably still could not raise more iponey than an incumbent, said the study of the 1988 elections by the Center for Responsive Politics.

House challengers who spent between $250,000 and $500,000 found the odds against them to be ll-to-1 on election day, said Larry Makinson, the author of the study. Even those who spent more than half a million dollars had only one chance in six of winning.

He added that those who spent less than $250,000 had a perfect record: They all l(t.

In ibe Senate, the average election last year cost $3 million, according to Uk study.

L^st year, 98 percent of the House members running for re-election won, while in the wnate, 85 percent of the incumbents running were successful.

The study is based largely on computerized financial information compiled by the Federal Election Commission, but it also compares that data with voting statistics and historical material.

Even if a challenger did manage to raise a lot of money, the incumbent would just raise more.

In House races where the challenger spent $100,000 to $250,000, the incumbent spent an average of $520,255. If the challenger spent

more than $500,000, the incumbent spent an average of $904,704, according to the study.

Still, having deep pockets is no guarantee of a seat in the House. Of the 10 biggest-spending challengers, only one. New York Democrat Nita Lowey, won an election, and she spent more than $1.3 million.

The average financial lead of incumbents over challengers has widened over the last few years, from $172,002 in 1986 to $264,104 last

year. In 1974, the gap was just $16,532, and in relative terms, the challengers have been losing ground, the study said.

I think the reason is people are seeing it is a very bad investment for half a million dollars, Makinson said.

The Center for Responsive Politics is non-partisan group, funded by private foundations, that does research on congressional and political trends.

City Eyes Unlawful Assembly

ByJ. Ward Best

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Greenville has positioned itself to curb problems associated with after-hours assembly in downtown parking lots.

The City Council will consider a proposal Monday to ban unlawful assembly in downtown city-owned Mirking areas and privately-owned ots.

City Attorney Mac McCarley, the

author of the proposed ordinance, said he hopes it will lessen problems of vandalism, drug sales and drunk and disruptive benavior that come with large congregations of teenagers and young adults.

The ordinance is part of the citys ongoing effort to control drug and vandalism problems. Mayor Ed Carter said.

We feel that we must get a handle on this to minimize tne opportunities for illegal activities, Ciirter said.

The measure is aimed at groups that congregate in the city lots. It does not establish a curfew for parking.

The ordinance would make it illegal for one or more people to use city lots for any reason except for lawfully parking a vehicle and leav

ing the lot without delay.

The law allows patrons to re-enter

the lot without delay and proceed

Census Totals Will Play Role In Determining Size Of 1st District

(Continued from A*l) and it has to be the most accurate we can gather.

Many people feel that the residents of tne 1st Congressional District, which now includes 21 eastern counties, may, in a sense, lose rqNTsentation when districts are realigned based on the 1990 census because m(n counti^ may have to be added to the district, based on the one-man one-vote rule. On the other hand, residents of the Piedmont area may gain representation with smaller districts through greater pcoulation growth.

What do ^ RDI figures show?

Thats a loaded question, ac-corc^ to Talmadge Page, an economic development spwialist with RDI, who has been doing research and putting the projections together.

Its almost impossible to tell at this pmnt. Page suggests. It would take several days to look at the figures and see if they tell you anything.

But Page said, The general con

sensus, I think, is that the Piedmont has grown much more than easteril Nori Carolina in population, and as a result, will have more representatives. Whether or not that will come to pass in this census, I dont know.

Page said that according to the projections, in general, everything in the state is growing. I feel safe in saying the Pie^ont area is certainly growing faster than the eastern area. My problem is I just dont have the time to try to come up with anything I could back up, so to speak.

The way the Piedmont is growing, theyre going to have the majority of representatives in that area. I agree with that. I just have trouble coming up with something I could back it up with.

In general. Page suggested, population projections for the 1st Congressional District surest that we still have an out-migratiop from poor areas to more affluent areas.

Newspaper Founder Dies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS - Herman M. Hank Greenspun,* founder of the Las Vegas Sun newspaper, a onetime gunrunner and political activist, died Saturday after a battle with cancer. He was 79.

Greenspun, who had been ill for more than a year, died at home, said Ruthe Deskin, a longtime employee and assistant to the newspaper publisher.

A gunrunner for a Jewish self-defense organization that helping establish the nation of Israel, Greenspun challenged some of the nations most famous people in his newspaper, which had a circulation of 99,000.

His Where I Stand column was a front-page fixture of the morning newspaper from its inception and he used the platform to promote a variety of causes.

Greenspun gained national attention in the 1950s when his newspaper went to war with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. He was charged with and

The incident arose over a newspaper column predicting the assassination of McCarthy by one of the people he bullied, and recommending he commit suicide first.

Greenspun was closely allied with Howard Hughes in the 1960s when the eccentric billionaire holed up in Las Vegas and bought a television station from Greenspun and several hotel-casinos.

while in 1980 the population was 90,146. The 1990 projections place Pitts total at 103,190.

Dare and Carteret are also fast growers. In 1970, Dares population was 6,995 and 10 years later 13,377. The 1990 projections put Dare at 22,501.

Carteret, with 31,603 in 1970 and 41,092 in 1980, is projected at 54,043 in 1990.

Some counties with little projected change lietween 1970 and 1990: tier-tie (20,528-21,171); Camden (5,453-6,040); Gates (8,524-9,996); Hyde (5,571-5,771); Martin (24,730-27,144); Tyrrell (3,806-4,208); Washington (14,038-14,604).

According to Page, total population of the 1st District in 1970 was 473,777, while in 1980 the figure was 535,810. Projected population in 1990 amounts to 601,550.'

Its interesting, Page said. Projections suggest that Mecklenburg (county) increased more than all 21

counties in the First District since 1970.

Mecklenburgs 1970 population was 354,656, while the 1980 census credited the county with 404,270, according to Page. Projections for 1990 credit Mecklenburg with 489,877.

The 1st Districts growth from 1970 to 1990 is projected at 127,777, while Mecklenburgs projection is 135,221; from 1980 to 1990, the 1st District projection shows an increase of 65,740, while Mecklenburgs increase is some 85,607.

The ordinance does not define delay.

There are several exceptions, including allowing parking for lawfully permitted public events such as parades, fireworks displays, demostrations or picketing. There are also exceptions for emergencies and to turn a vehicle around to travel on the same street in a different direction.

Private property owners may prohibit unwanted assemblies in their downtown lots by posting signs announcing that tres^ssing is banned between certain hours and on weekends.

The citys public works department has agreed to produce signs for businesses to post, and the ordinance would make it illegal for unauthorized persons to enter or remain in the private lots in the prohibited time periods.

McCarley said the ordinance also hopes to address a little seen or publicized problem trash.

Public works operates a one-man litter patrol eight hours a day, seven days a week. That one trash Rector can cover the entire city mone shift except on weekends.

Sometimes public works hires an assistant to help with the clean-up. The department also cleans private lots occasionally because the trash left from the night before demands attention.

Wouldnt it be nice if everybody would just say, Tm not going to leave any litter. These signs would probably never have come about, Allen said.

Agencies Warn Spill May Have Long-Term Effects

By J. Ward Best

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

In spite of assurances from Weyerhaeuser Co., residents livii^ along the Roanoke River may long feel the effects of a spill of pulp waste from the paper plant in Plymouth.

The immediate effects of the spill

possible fish kills and an overloading of nutrient in the water

worry scientists and researchers less than the long-term effects of the toxins in the waste. Federal and private agencies warn against the dangers of dioxins contained in the pulp waste.

The Weyerhaueser plant in Plymouth on Wednesday spilled nearly four million gallons of untreated pulp waste in Welch Creek, a tributary of the Roanoke River, when a power outage knocked out pumps to the waste treatment plant.

Recent heavy rains saved the creek and the river from an immediate fish kill in the area by

diluting the spill and washing the ficials I

waters, officials said.

Doug Rader, senior scientist with the North Carolina Environmental Defense Fund, called the pulp waste from paper mills such as the

some weighty legal snags as well. The United States Constitution guarantees the right to peaceably assemble.

Knowing the law, McCarley said he strictly defined the illegal activity to avoid any problems with the fundamental law of the nation.

Governments have the right to reasonably restrict the time, place and manner of assembly, McCarley said. The Constitution does not protect the destructive and sometimes illegal behavior taking place in the parking lots, he said.

If they want to raise their constitutional objections to this ordinance, McCarley said, they will have their opportunity in District Court.

The maximum penalty for the misdemeanor is six months in jail or a $500 fine.

McCarley conceeded that state courts may overturn the ordinance as unconstitutional, and the gatherers may just move to other areas of the city. But he said that with citywide support for the ordinance, enforcment by the pdice and a little parental guidance, the ordinance can solve some of Greenvilles late-night problems.

Most magistrates are male, but Ms. Tyson said she knows of a few other female magistrates across the state. Nicholls said Craven and Carteret counties each have a woman serving as in the position.

Ms. Tyson said being a woman should not present any problems for her on the job.

None at all, she said. I feel like it will be a great challenge. Im honored to be the first female to be appointed. Criminal justice is an open field, and being a magistrate will put me in touch with many different aspwts of criminal justice.

Reid said Ms. Tyson will be an asset to the countys court system.

I am confident she will soon be reci^nized as a vital resource of our court system. Im pleased to welcome her to a career of public service, he said.

She has interned at the Durham County Courthouse and the Troy Halfway House and served as a volunteer at the Pitt County Mental Health Detox Center. She is set to attend a training school at the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on July 31.

Weyerhaueser plant probably the most complex industrial waste that exists.

Its a veritable witchs brew of toxic substances, Rader said.

He also said the dioxins contained in the waste are one of the most extremely toxic carcinogens known to man.

The dioxens, known as tetrachlorol dibenzoparadioxen, or TCDD, come from the chemicals used to bleach paper products.

Officials at Weyerhaeuser admit to releasing dioxens into the waters on a regular basis, but contest the claims of danger from small amounts of the toxin.

Pritchard claims that scientific evidence is insufficient to prove a real threat to humans of dioxins

manager for Weyerhaeuser, said the )U1

Wednesday spill would have little impact on the river or its inhabitants.

What went into Welch Creek was extremely, extremely minimal, Pritchard said.

He also contested reports of danger from dioxin contamination in the fish. Pritchard said Weyerhaeuser released approximately one gram of dioxen per year through its waste treatment. And the levels do not present any problems to the fish or people eating them, he said.

I certainly would not hesitate to eat them, Pritchard said.

Rader feels differently.

Scientists warn that even low levels of dioxins can cause cancer in humans.

I wish I had better news for the people out there about the safety of those fish, Rader said. Right now its suspect at best.

The danger from dioxins, Rader explained, comes from its accumulation in fish feeding near the plant.

Bottom feeders and larger fish store the dioxins in their tissue for as long as 12 years, the half-life of the contaminant. Because of its stability, dioxins levels in the fish continue to climb until they die or

causing cancer.

Dr. Debdas Mukerjee, senior science advisor with the environmental criterion office of EPA in Cincinnati, said anyone claiming low levels of dioxins are safe does not know what they are talking about.

Mukerjee said researchers now have ample evidence of danger to humans from dioxins even from small doses. And he said, the data is becoming more strong.

He also said evidence from independent research carried more weight than in-house studies from companies hoping to show everything is fine and dandy.

Mukerjee said dioxins are a known . carcinogen in animals, and lead to human problems such as chloracne, liver dysfunction, loss of libido and cancer.

A state analysis released last year indicated some of the highest levels of dioxin contamination of fish in the nation near the Weyerhaeuser plant in Plymouth.

The Division of Environmental Management, one of the three state agencies responding the Wednesdays spill, does not routinely monitor industrial waste discharge for dioxins, but requires certain industries, including Weyerhaeuser, to supply self-monitoring reports on dioxin releases and contamination.

The state lists safe levels of dioxins at 14 parts per quintillion.

Rader said the continued threat from pulp and paper mills presented a challenge to the public to call for not only cleaner but also safer waters.

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.

Sunday, July 23,1989 ^.5Diplomat Suspected Of Being A Spy Had Access To Top Secrets

{Continued from A-1)

Bloch, hoping that he will voluntarily tell investigators the extent of the information he provided to the East, ABC said.

In New York City, former Ambassador Ronald S. Lauder, a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, said Saturday that he demanded in 1987 that Bloch be recalled to Washington because He went outside of channels ... he went around me in dealings with the Austrian Foreign Ministry.

louder said, however, that he had no indication that Bloch, an Austrian native, had been dealing with the Soviets.

Lauder, a political appointee as ambassador who himse f has been criticized for his service in Vienna, said he inherited Bloch as his top deputy when he arrived at the embassy in April 1986.

Bloch had been there for six years already, and was in charge of the embassy during a lapse between the departure of Helene Von Damm and Lauders confirmation, Lauder said. A congressional source, meanwhile, speculated that Bloch was the effective day-to-day chief of the embassy throughout the time that Ms. Von Damm, also a political appointee and widely criticized as a social butterfly, was there.

Lauder said he grew increasingly dissatisfied with Bloch over insubordination and demanded that he be recalled in July 1987. The State Department complied within a matter of days or weeks, he said.

Lauder said he knew nothing of the current investigation before hearing news reports Friday. He said he has since spoken with the State Department about the case, but declined elaboration.

I thought he was a poor member of the staff. So I got rid of him. If I thought he was a spy, I would have had him arrested, Lauder said.

Lauder said Bloch did have access to a great deal of classified information, and that he could do severe damage. But At this point we do not know whether that has occurred.

It could have potential impact, a great deal of impact on the United States, Lauder continued. He had a great deal of access.

Asked specifically whether Bloch had access to names of CIA agents in Europe, Lauder said that was not part of his job but he couldnt say whether Bloch did or did not. The Vienna embassy, according to sources, houses a major CIA contingent.

Lauder described Bloch, who joined the foreign service in 1958, as very dour. ,

Asked for specifics of the alleged insubordination, Lauder said:

He went outside of channels and he spoke with the Foreign Ministry without my permission. ... He went around me. He went directly to the Austrian foreign ministry... on State Department matters dealing with Austrian-U.S. relations.

Lauder said Bloch was too close to the Austrian government, and extremely close to the foreign minister.

Bloch was born in Austria, and his wife, Lucille, runs an Austrian-American institute in Washington.

Bloch has not returned since Thursday to his elegant Washington apartment, according to fellow residents of the building. Calls to his answering machine were not returned.

As far as I know, hes in the Washington area, State Department spokeswoman Anita Stockman said Saturday. But I would have to defer to the FBI.

Ms. Stockman confirmed the previous night that the department, in conjunction with the FBI, is pursuing the inquiry thoroughly in order to identify the compromised security which has occurred and the appropriate legal steps. Another department official, Richard Boucher, said Bloch, currently the director of one of the 11 offices of the Bureau of European and Canadian Affairs, has been placed on leave and his building pass and security clearance have been withdrawn.

At the White House, spokesman Steve Hart said President Bush, who was spending the weekend at Camp David, Md., had been notified about the probe, but didnt know precisely when.

Key members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees declined comment, but sources indicated the panels had been briefed on the case.

Meanwhile, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee source said that while that panel has yet to be notified pf the investigation.

members are particularly concerned at the circumstances surrounding Blochs tenure at the Vienna embassy.

M deputy chief of mission, Bloch routinely would have had access to most dejMrtment cable traffic between European embassies and Washington, and also would have seen a daily compendium of intelligence information and the departments key political reports on Moscow and the Warsaw Pact nations.

The embassy is known to be the site of a sizable CIA station, and sources said Bloch would have had at least general knowledge of the agencys activities in. Vienna, a

traditional hotbed for espionage.

Vienna also has been the site of the long-running and largely unfruitful negotiations on conventional arms reduction in Europe, known the Mutual Balanced Force Reduction talks, and a wide variety of other East-West meetings. Bloch and other embassy officials were responsible for providing support to the U.S. teams.

Sources expressed doubt that Bloch would have had access to particularly sensitive nuclear secrets, since the embassy has had little involvement with the strategic arms talks. But they reiterated that he would have known a great deal about U.S. strategy regarding the

conventional arms talks" and political and economic issues.

The Senate Foreign Relations official noted, moreover, that Bloch served under Ms. Von Damm and Lauder, both of whom have drawn fire as lackluster political appointees and were unpopular with the embassy staff. 'That increased the odds that Bloch was the hands-on, day-to-day guy who sees everything, this source said.

Normally, a diplomat of Blochs rank and service could expect to step into an ambassadorial p^t, and some officials speculated he may have been embittered at nojt having been so rewarded.

Preston Pitts, who lives in the

same apartment building, said Bloch recently told me he was being considered for an ambassadorial position in Central or Latin America, and that when government agents first appeared outside the building weeks ago, I first assumed they were for his protection.

Pitts said he last saw Bloch and his wife on Thursday, when the agents were like ants outside the building. I saw five or six cars with two people in each of them. He said he asked Bloch Are you in any danger? and he said No, P dont think we are in the least. .That was the last lime I saw him.'And this

morning, there was no sign of the agents.

I am absolutely flabbergasted. He was such a gentleman, Pitts said. Collins Bird, another neighbor, said, You never know who youre living next door to. Hes a very nice, pleasant man.

Bloch, who turned 54 Wednesday, holds a bachelors degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a masters degree from the University of California at Berkeley.

An administration official familiar with Blochs career said he worked in East Berlin aS an economic counselor in 1974-75, the first two years following the opening of a fully fledged U.S. embassy there since World War II.

NOW Abortion Rally Draws 3,000

The Associated Press

A crowd of pro-choice activists march through Cincinnati

By Joe Kay

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI About 3,000 supporters of the National Organization for Women marched through crowded downtown streets Saturday and vowed to pressure lawmakers to support a womens right to an abortion.

About 300 anti-abortion demonstrators lined sidewalks along the route, exchanging chants with the NOW marchers. Police on horseback stayed between the groups and reported no incidents or citations.

In Michigan, Southern California, Ohio and Boston, meanwhile, more than 200 anti-abortion demonstrators were arrested during protests at abortion clinics.

Die NOW throng, in Cincinnati for the organizations annual convention, stretched for more than three blocks, tying up traffic and tem-wrarily stopping music enthusiasts istening to a downtown jazz festival.

A recent Supreme Court ruling giving states authority to regulate and limit abortions was the focus of both the NOW marchers and antiabortion demonstrators.

If our elected officials are not pro-choice, then they will not be elected, Cincinnati NOW chapter President Shirley Rosser told the rally. I want you to realize: No matter how good they are on other issues, if theyre not right on the issue of choice, they will be defeated.

Retirees To Gather

Retirees of Greenville Utilities Commission and the city of Greenville will meet Tuesday at 8 a.m. at the Three Steers Restaurant.

Lois Worthington, Greenville city clerk, will be keynote speaker.

This whole thing is going back to the state legislatures, the political arena, said Joseph Scheidler, executive director of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League, who was one of the anti-abortion protesters at the rally. I think its going to be the issue. They (politicians) know it, and they dread it.

Although delegates at the NOW conference addressed various issues related to women and civil rights, abortion took center stage. The conference, attended by more than 1,000 delegates, runs through Sunday.

Before the march, NOW President Molly Yard said the organization is developing legislation to prevent states from restricting the rights of women to have abortions. She also announced a freedom caravan to various state capitals and a Nov. 12 rally in Washington, D.C., to show support for legalized abortion.

Ms. Yard said participation in the 200,000-member NOW has grown in recent weeks as women, angered by the U.S. Supreme Courts jSy 3 hil-ing on abortion, joined the ranks.

In Salinas, Calif., 109 anti-abortion protesters were arrested after blocking the entrance of a Planned Parenthood clinic in a demonstration police described as generally peaceful.

Those arrested in the Operation Rescue protest were taken to the Monterey County jail, where they were booked for investigation of trespassing and resisting officers, both misdemeanors, said police Lt. Scott Miller.

In the Boston area, police said 74 anti-abortion demonstrators were

Gonzalez Eyes Meeting

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez is planning a meeting with President Bush this fall in which theyll talk mostly about culture, Spanish National Radio reported Saturday.

The radio, citing government sources, said the visit would be Oct. 19. It would be the first official meeting between the two heads of government since an eight-year U.S.-Spanish defense agreement took effect May 4, in which the United States agreed to withdraw 72 F-16 fighter-bombers.

arrested in two protests at abortion clinics.

Elsewhere, in the Boston suburb of Brookline, police arrested 38 people when Operation Rescue, an antiabortion group, set up blockades at three abortion clinics.

At least 36 anti-abortion demonstrators also were arrested after they blocked the entrance to an abortion clinic adjacent to the Boston Common, police said.'

In Cleveland, police arrested more than 30 anti-abortion protesters on criminal trespassing and aggravated disorderly conduct charges during a demonstration at the National Health Care Services clinic.

not to undergo the procedure, police said.

Two of the demonstrators affiliated with New Jersey Central Area Rescue Effort were arrested and charged with trespassing, police said.

Taggart Case Should Go To Jury This Week

By Paul Nowell

THE ASSOOATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE A federal jury ^ decide this week if two former aides to televangelist Jim Bakker knowinriy evaded $S25,00a in income tMes after spending nearly $1.2 mil-lioo in PTL mmey on j^rscmal luxuries such as CMidominiums, jewelry and designer clothes.

After a delay Friday in the 11-day trial of brothers David and James Taggart, the government is scheduled to call its rebuttal witnesses on Monday.

Following closing arguments, the yjTy will b^ deliberating in the trial that began July 5. If convicted, the Taggarts each could be sentenced to 25 years in prison and face fines of more than $1 million.

.S. District Judge Robert Potter gave no reasons for postponing Fridays session. Court observers speculated that the delay may have bera granted to give prosecutors time to call Jerry Falwell, who took over at PTL following Bakkers res-i^tion in March 1987 amidt revelations of the Jessica Hahn sex-and-money scandal.

Falwell spokesman Mark DeMoss 11 wc

said Falwell would not be called by the government to testify Monday,

despite the fact that he was subpoenaed several weeks ago.

There was a time when we thought he would be called, DeMoss said in a telephone interview from Lynchburg, Va. Hes not scheduled to testify.

Fridays delay came following two days of testimony by the defendants and a dramatic appearance by Bakker Wednesday when he refused to answer any questions.

Defense attorney Ben Cottens case could hirige on his contention that Bakker authorized David Taggart, his personal assistant for seven years, to take large cash advances and use PTL funds to pay for personal items on a personal American Express account belonging to the Taggarts.

On Wednesday, Gotten was unable to elicit any testimony from Bakker, who took the Fifth Amendment when he was asked several questions, including whether he even knew the Taggarts.

During six hours on the witness stand Thursday, David Taggart said Bakker enticed him back to the ministry with a pledge that PTL would pay all of his travel and vacation costs.

He recalled telling Bakker, 1 want access to the same resources that you have.

Taggart and his brother, James,

are charged with evading $525,000 in 'federal income taxes. Prosecutors contend the two used nearly $1.2 million in PT'L money for their personal expenses from 1984 to 1987.

The defense rested Thursday following two days of testimony from the Taggarts, who joined PTL in the late 1970s as piano players.

Within a few years, David Taggart. ;12, was Bakkers top personal aide. His brother, James, 35, was the interior designer at PTLs Heritage USA Christian retreat just south of Charlotte

David Taggart said Bakker gave him a deal he couldnt refuse to return to PTL after a six-month absence in 1983.

He told me David, youve killed yourself for the ministry for $25,000 a year (as assistant music director from 1978 to 1980 and from 1980 to 1983 as Bakkers personal assistant). Now the ministry is in a different position and Im willing to pay you $100,000 a year, Taggart said.

Prosecutor David Brown said, If you want us to believe your were not a power figure at PTL, how could you demand from Jim Bakker the same financial deal he had? ^

With a series of questions, Brown suggested Taggart had power over Bakker because he knew of his bosss 1980 sexual encounter with Jessica Hahn and of PTLs 1984 and 1985 efforts to pay Hahn to remain silent.

Taggart also said proper record keeping would have helped determine whether sums of money he drew from PTL accounts were taxable or not.

How much of the (money) the government considers income would you say was underreported for federal taxes. Brown asked.

I dont know, Taggart responded, Ill have to go line by line.

Taggart said his way of accounting for the $1.2 million was either to submit documentation to justify it, receive a tax form from PTL that called the cash advances income or that the cash advances would be considered a loan which would be converted into a bonus.

Can you tell me one other person at PTL who was treated like this? Brown asked.

1 did not get everything Jim Bakker got, said Taggart. I think Jim Bakker had a better deal then I did.

Emergency Landing

The Associated Press

Ronald Hines of Raleigh made an emergency landing on Interstate 40 near Wilmington on Saturday after his Piper Cub experienced engine trouble. Hines made a safe landing and no one was injured. He was flying to New Hanover County Airport from Raleigh when he was forced to look for a landing area.

Arsenic Test Results Awaited

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEBANE Results from tests for arsenic poisoning performed on the botfy of Blanche Taylor Moores father could be ready next week, but the womans attorney said she had very little contact with the man before his death.

We were told that the father absented himself from the family for

the 10 years prior to his death, attorney Mitchell M. McEntire said.

I do believe ... that there might have been a visit during his last illness, but certainly there were no regular visits or sustained visits.

The body of Parker D. Kiser Sr. was exhumed Friday from Oakwood Cemetery and later reburied. Authorities say Kiser exhibited

symptoms consistent with arsenic poisoning.

They are trying to determine if Kiser died Sept. 18, 1966, after a heart attack or whether he was killed.

Mrs. Moore is charged with murder in the poisoning deaths of her first husband and former boyfriend and has been charged with the a'ttempted murder of her current husband by feeding him arsenic.

CHARLOTTE Congressmen ranging from the U.S. house speaker to the minority leader have joined Rep. Charlie Rose, D-N.C., in asking a federal court to dismiss a Justice Department lawsuit against Rose on the grounds it violates the Constitu-" tion.

House Speaker Tom Foley, D-Wash., and a bipartisan group of House leaders joined Rose in contending that the suit violated the constitutions doctrine of separation of powers. That doctrine defines the role and powers of the judicial branch, the legislative branch Congress and the executive branch, in this case represented by the Justice Department.

They also said it violated federal law defining Congresss power to discipline its members. The Charlotte Observer reported in Saturdays editions.

The suit, they said, amounted to second-guessing and overriding the internal ethics procedure of the House of Representatives.

The House Ethics Committee last year wrote Rose a letter publicly rebuking him for failing to fully disclose loans to him from his campaign committee and other financial dealings on his financial disclosure form. The form is required of all members of Congress and high-ranking federal officials.

Then the Justice Department sued him last May for $30,(X)0. It contended that Rose knew he was breaking the law and therefore that it was entitled to prosecute.

Rose said the suit was encouraged by allies of his political enemy. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C.

Taggart said he could not.

You must be pretty special, Brown said. Didnt you tell PTL financial officers that you spent the mtxiey on official PTL business? Now you want to say you had a sweetheart deal with Jim Bakker to spend money hand over fist for your

own pers(Hial purposes."

Taggart said tl^t on his return to

PTL, he had authority to take large cash advances, which he said were used primarily for trips by the Bak-kers on ministry business. He said he needed laige amcHints of cash on hand at all times.

Many times on a trip I would ad vanee Tammy Bakker some cash and she would reimburse it, he said.

Taggart conceded that he and his brother did owe some taxes.

I agree each of us owes some

taxes and that needs to be debated 1 the civil side, Taggart said.

But Brown replied that the issue won't be debated on the civil side until this case is over, I can assure you that.

Taggart was unable to explain how his and his brothers net worth grew from less than $150,000 in 1984 to nearly $1.7 million by 1987.

The question of Taggarts documentation has been one of governments key points in the trial. James Ta^art testified earlier that as PTLs interior decorator he was an artist who left the business dealings to his brother.

I always have been lax about documentation. Its never been a priority, David Taggart said.

Bakker and former top PlL aide Richard Dortch are scheduled to go on trial for conspiracy and wire and mail fraud on Aug. 28.
