251 on trial in Italy for organized crime
By United Press International
NAPLES, Italy — Italy's biggest organized crime trial opened yesterday in a heavily fortified, $1 million bunker beneath a prison soccer field entertains, a nun and several entertainers among the 251 defendants.
It was the first in a series of three trials for 640 alleged members of the New Organized Camorra, the Neapolitan version of the Sicilian Mafia. Italian police arrested the suspects in nationwide raids 17 months ago.
Lawyers said the key issue before the three-judge tribunal is whether to accept as truthful the testimony of informers who broke the Italian tar or silence. Gangsters often do coborts who break the pledge.
Help from informers led to unprecedented roundups of suspected Camorra and Mafia gang members accused of running multi-million dollar, international drug-trafficking operations.
The 2½-hour trial session yesterday dealt with procedural matters, including 88 motions from about 200 lawyers in attorneys sitting at long rows of courts.
THE COURTROOM WAS constructed at a cost of $1 million in a recreation area inside Poggioreale prison.
Six hundred armed police guarded the courtroom. A police helicopter hovered overhead and four units of police dogs patrolled outside.
Fifty armored buses delivered the defendants, who were placed in 21 steel cages lining two sides of the room. The defendants lounged in the cages, and some chatted with guards or reporters.
Renato Vallanzasca, Milan's alleged Camorra boss, complained he was mistreated in the Arango Irpinio case. His lawyer claimed trying to escape from Spoleta Prison.
"THEY WANT TO make me pay for my attempted escape from Spoleta," he said. "I didn't escape because the only honest bricklayer who exists in Italy built the wall of my cell. I tried every way to make a hole in it but I only succeeded in tickling it."
One of Italy's best known television personalities, Enzo Tortora, will appear for trial on Feb. 20, authorities said.
Tortora, elected to the European Parliament on the Radical Party ticket from his prison cell, said he waived parliamentary immunity to him and organized performers that peddled cocaine and other drugs to fellow entertainers.
Other defendants include prison guard Francesco Chiariello, chaplain Mariano Santini, Sister Aldina Murfuel and singers Franco Calmetti and Alba Miglioretti. The nun is accused of delivering mail to a prisoner.
Califano, Santini and Sister Aldera were not present in the courtroom. Tribunal President Luigi Sansone proceeded against 26 defendants.

New Zealand rejects U.S. nuclear warship
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand, whose government has banned all nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed ships from its ports, said yesterday it has rejected a second request by the United States to allow a U.S. warship to dock next month.
"I would welcome it if the Americans would suggest a vessel that I know is not nuclear-armed," said Prime Minister David Lange, announcing the decision after a Cabinet meeting.
Lange's Labor government, which swept to power last July on a largely anti-nuclear platform, has declared it will not allow any nuclear-powered or armed vessels into New Zealand ports. The decision has strained the military alliance among Australia, New Zealand and the United States, known as ANZUS.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said Reagan administration officials regretted New Zealand's decision. For the first time, the spokesman identified the ship as the USS Buchan, a destroyer.
In yesterday's announcement, Lange did not say when the second request had been made.
Both Australia and the United States have asked Lange to relax the ban on grounds the 34-year-old ANZUS alliance is in jeopardy unless unconditional access for warships is guaranteed.
Although Lange refused to divulge the contents of that reply, he indicated the request would be denied unless he was assured the vessel would not be carrying nuclear arms.
and noted it is "conventionally powered."
The United States never discloses whether a ship is carrying nuclear armaments
Lange has said New Zealand intends to remain a member of ANZUS despite the ban.
Kalb said the United States is "considering the implications for our overall cooperation with New Zealand under ANZUS, including the question of our participation in military exercises."
Last Thursday, Lange's government sent a formal reply to the first U.S. request for a warship to visit Antigua after ANZUS military exercises.
