Charges delay custody fight
By United Press International
SAN DIEGO — Betty Lou Batey, a fundamentalist mother in a custody battle with the homosexual father of her 13-year-old son, yesterday asked for a jury trial on contempt charges against her.
Superior Court Judge Judith McConnell said she would rule today on the jury trial question and other preliminary moves in the legal prelude to the custody showdown over the son, Brian Batey.
Betty Lou Batey faces 467 counts. McConnell also will rule on whether 464 of these counts, one for each day she kept her son in violation of a
previous order, should be consolidated into a single charge.
THE 39-YEAR-OLD mother is also charged with failing to take her son to a psychologist as ordered by the court, removing him from Southern California and allegedly disparaging him about the disparaging term he convicted on all counts, she could receive a sentence of more than 2,000 days in jail.
than 2,000 people. The father, Frank Batey, 39, Palm Springs, Calif., is an avowed homosexual. Betty Lou Batey is active in the Pentecostal Church, which believes that homosexuality is a sin.
Michael Farris, attorney for the mother, argued that she was entitled to a jury trial because she faced
more than six months in jail.
Arguing for consolidation of the 464 arguments into a single contempt charge, he said, "She made a negative act in failing to return the boy, rather than a positive act of taking the boy every day.
JIM WALM, ATTORNEY for the father, countered that he could have filed a separate complaint each day the mother held Brian.
McConnell, terming both issues "too important to skim over," recessed the contempt trial until this morning. The custody case is expected to follow the contemp trial. The mother also goes to trial in November on one count of felony child stealing.

By United Press International
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Prosecutors argued yesterday that Jerry Lee Lewis walked out of his house with a box full of $100 bills and bought luxury cars, jewelry and furs for others during a three-year spending spree to hide his assets and avoid paying taxes.
Witnesses testified Lewis bought 773,500 worth of jewelry in Hawaii,
plunked down $12,000 in cash in a lease-purchase arrangement for a Rolls Royce and bought his girlfriend a $25,500 Cadillac Eldorado.
Attorneys for the Internal Revenue Service claim Lewis' tax bill, with interest and penalties, is $1,155,111 for 1975,1980, nearly $150,000 more than he earned during that period. He still owes more than $653,000.
singer, who rocketed to fame in the 1950s with the songs "Whole Lotta Shakin" and "Great Balls of Fire," on Lewis' lack of business sense and a change in managers.
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS blame the problems of the 49-year-old
Prosecutor Devon Gosnell said Lewis went on a spree from 1980 to 1983, buying cars with cash in the names of other people, buying jewelry for friends and associates and giving his girlfriend $80,000 in cash to hold for him.

Jury indicts two officers in arms case
By United Press International
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Two Green Beret sergeants were indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on charges they tried to disguise as of arms to federal agents posing as South American drug smugglers.
Master St. Kelth Anderson and Sgt. 1st Class Byron K. Carlisle, both of Fayetteville, N.C., were indicted. Both are stationed at Fort Bragg, C.I., and are members of the Army 7th Special Forces group.
Anderson was arrested Oct. 6 in Vero Beach while attempting to sell about $49,000 worth of weapons and explosives to agents of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, who conducted a two-month probe into illicit arms sales.
American youth lack exercise, study says
WASHINGTON - Despite a "fitness boom" among adults, a two-year nationwide study released yesterday suggested that half of America's young people may not be getting enough exercise to develop healthy hearts and lungs.
"This study should be a warning," said Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler, whose office released it. "It shows that America's school children are not achieving the lifetime fitness skills required to promote good health."
Heckler said in a statement the government's Public Health Service is "launching a vigorous campaign to share these findings with national, state and local groups and to work with them toward improved fitness and health for our children."
THE STUDY FOUND THAT children ages 10 to 17 were not exercising often enough or vigorously enough.
or getting a wide enough variety of exercise to promote lifetime fitness.
"The adult fitness boom doesn't appear to be trickling down," said James G. Ross, project director for Macro Systems Inc., a consulting firm that conducted the $455,000 study.
The study found:
The National Children and Youth Fitness Study, which surveyed 8,900 fifth through 12th graders nationwide between February and May, was the first nationwide assessment of young men's fitness in nearly a decade
- Only about half the students are getting enough appropriate exercise to develop healthy hearts and lungs, meaning vigorous movement required on more of heart-lung capacity for 20 minutes three times weekly.
"In terms of absolute fitness, it is probably the most critical area," said Robert Gold, the Public Health Service's school health initiative project director.
