Argentine general held for killings
By United Press International
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Authorities have arrested Gen. Ramon J. Camps, charging him with kidnapping and murdering of thousands of people under Argentina's former military regime, the government said yesterday.
An official announcement said Camps, the one-time police chief of Buenos Aires province, was arrested on charges of unlawful orders of President Raul Afonsoin.
Camps was under custody at an undisclosed army base and had given statements "recognizing his direct participation in the kidnapping and murder of thousands of persons," the announcement said.
HIS ARREST IS part of a crackdown by Alfonsin's civilian administration, who took office last month after nearly
eight years of military rule, against officers of the former regime.
Charges have been brought against nine former members of the military junta, including three ex-military presidents.
The announcement did not give the specific time, but Camps was probably arrested either Wednesday night or yesterday morning.
Camps was a notorious, hard-line,
rightist army officer during the 1970s.
He ordered the arrests of such people as Jacobo Timerman, the current governor of Baja, Bravo, the family of the late financier David Graiver and thousands of others.
Timerman, Bravo and the Graivers all said they were tortured by electricity and beatings during interrogation procedures that Camps directed.
TIMERMAN, WHO WROTE a bestselling book about his time in an Argentina and tried to get his newspaper to pursue criminal proceedings
against the officers he says tortured him.
The former editor told members of the Presidential Commission on Disappeared Persons that he had been a member of the suburb of Martinez where he was imprisoned.
The building, a former police station that was being renovated, was closed when commission members arrived yesterday, but the news agency DYN said they scheduled a tour of the facility today.
A source close to the investigation told United Press International that Timerman discovered the site while on a personal survey and found that the underground prison cells had been covered with cement.
Camps recently testified in the case of missing industrialist Alfredo Giorgi, and Wednesday, on the eve of his arrest, he was questioned by Hector de la Serna about the disappearance of labor leader Carlos Alaye.
Two students charged in scoreboard rigging
PASADENA, Calif. — Two students attending the California Institute of Technology have been charged with misdemeanors for rigging the scoreboard during the Rose Bowl game Jan. 2 between UCLA and the University of Illinois.
By United Press International
The scoreboard in the Rose Bowl flashed the score "Catech 38, MIT 9" in the fourth quarter of the nationally televised game.
this wasn't just a harmless prank," city prosecutor Michael Murnane said Wednesday. He said that damages to the scoreboard and the stadium's public address system amounted to $4,200.
Jan Kegel and Ted Williams, who face arrangement in Municipal Court Jan. 31, admitted that they spliced a video into one of their electronic gadgets into the scoreboard.
"I want people to understand that
They are charged with trespassing, malicious mischief, loitering in the Rose Bowl at night and interfering with electrical wiring. Each charge carries
a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and
a year in jail.
Bill Lewis, director of the city's Employee and Community Services Agency, said officials would recommend that the students receive probation and be required to perform specific community services such as designing and installing a system to protect the building against similar intrusions in the future.
Asked whether the students would go along with the plan, Lewis replied, "If Caltech students do not believe they are going to have to ask for assistance from MIT."
