Hadley General Manager and News Adviser Rick Musser Business Adviser Mel Adams WASHINGTON (AP)—The Justice Department, faced with spiraling legal bills, is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to hire private lawyers to defend government officials accused of violating citizens' rights. Private lawyers cost government The civil court charges include bargains surveillance and the illegal logging. The defendants range from the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency to They are accused, in civil suits brought by irate citizens, of abusing their power and of wrongly intruding into the private affairs of individuals. Since then, the annual tab for outside lawyers' fees grew to $557,980 in 1976, $448,320 in 1977 and $422,368 by April 18 of fiscal 1978. IN 1974 and 1975 the government spent about $60,000 to pay private lawyers to represent government employees, the Justice Department said. But that was before congressional committees exposed illegal assaults and other alleged abuses of civil liberties. The money is going for the defense of such suits as the one brought by DRodger Driver, a mathematics professor at Rhode Island and four former CIA directors and others. In 1975, Dr. Verwin confirmed that the CIA had opened and copied three letters that he sent to the Russian government. Driver used the Freedom of Information Act to retrieve the copies of the letters, which discussed issues of mutual professional interest with the Soviet colleagues that he had met at international conferences. Driver said it was none of the government's business. He and four others have sued 25 current and former government officials, among others, for $10 million. They seek $20,000 in compensation for each letter that the CIA opened and an additional $100,000 for each plaintiff in punitive damages. The case could take years to settle. THEY ARE AMONG a number of others in similar situations who have gone to court seeking payment for what they claim is infringement of their constitutional rights. The plaintiffs in these civil suits hire their own lawyers, but the defendants—numerous and disparate—have little to do with them. Califano denies quota hiring order Califano, in his first public description of the incident, thus publicly contradicted his special assistant, Patsy Fleming, a black divorced mother of three whom he had named executive director of the White House conference three months ago. WASHINGTON (AP) — Joseph A. Califano, secretary of health, education and welfare, yesterday denied that he ever ordered a divorced woman who directed the White House Conference on Paternities to hire a married, Catholic man as her co-director. "I never said that," Califano told a press conference when asked about Fleming's remarks. "There is no test of race or religion for any job in this place." Fleming resigned the conference director's job two weeks ago to protest what she told friends was Califao's directive to hire a white, married, Catholic man to share her Califano confirmed that he did tell Fleming to hire a co-director, although he denied that this was in response to any accusations from the group, such as the U.S. Catholic Conference. "I was trying to put together the best team I could put together," Calfano said. "I made those judgments not subject to any judgment of the team." He added that pressure from any columnist who has revived me with consistency unmatched by anbvbody else in the press." Califano referred to a Catholic columnist-priest, Andrew Greeley, who had called Califamo's appointment of a divorced father an "incredible reference on Families 'increible inness.'" A week after Greeley's column was printed in about 200 newspapers, Fleming said she agreed with Califano's request that she appoint a Catholic married man her deputy. She said Califano thought the appointment would be a satisfactory to hire person. Several days later, however, Fleming was called back into Califano's office and—according to what she told close associates—was told that she now must name a white Catholic married man as co-director, not deputy. She said she refused and then resigned the conference directorship. U.S. soldiers mix drugs and duty WASHINGTON (AP) — Almost one of every 10 U.S. soldiers in Europe regularly uses hard drugs, which seriously impairs combat readiness, a congressman told President Jimmy Carter yesterday. The congressman, Rep. Lester Wolf, D.N.Y., chairman of the House Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control, said about 27,000 U.S. soldiers, or 9 percent of the total force in Europe, were using hard drugs. Earlier this year Brig. Gen. William H. Fitz, deputy chief of staff for personnel in Europe, said during testimony before Wolf's committee that 7.8 percent of the servicemen in West Germany admitted using hard drugs. Wolff said that Carter had been unaware of the magnitude of hard drug use in the Army. He said he was surprised Carter vowed to take steps with Harold Berry, secretary of defense, to try to solve the problem. "The information we have secured indicates there is a great deal of interference with combat readiness because of the drug problem," Wolff said. Wolf did not say how he determined the 9 percent figure. are defended by lawyers paid for by the government. In addition to the hard drug use, about 40 percent of the troops in Europe use drugs. The Justice Department's policy limits to no more than $80 an hour the payment to any law firm for each case handled on the case. No firm may bill for more than 120 hours a client each month. That means the maximum each month for each case is $7,200. The rate had been $75 an hour without any limit on time until the Justice Department decided last year that it was spending too much. Some lawyers have since complained that it is like doing "pro bono" work in which lawyers represent the poor without pay, according to John H. Sawers, a justice attorney who monitors the civil suits. The government hired private lawyers principally to avoid a potential conflict of interest. The Justice Department did not want to be in the position of conducting criminal proceedings against government officials, and defending them in civil suits on the other. The government is paying for private lawyers for more than 100 defendants in about two dozen pending cases. Most inmates face allegations of illegal break-ins. THE FIRST TIME WAS ONLY A WARNING!
