U.S. judge to appeal conviction
By United Press International
RENO, Nev — U.S. District Judge Harry Claiborne has served notice that he will fight his conviction for filing false tax returns.
In an emotional but unapologetic speech from the dock where he was sentenced Oct. 3, Claiborne defended his 30-year record as a lawyer and judge and denied that he deliberately filed a false tax return.
Claiborne was convicted Aug. 10 on two counts of filing false tax returns by not reporting $106,000 in back legal fees received after becoming a partner at an accounting firm and all the income to his accountants, and that they had made the errors.
Judge Walter Hoffman sentenced Claiborne to two years in prison and fined him $10,000, making him the first federal judge sentenced to prison for crimes committed while on the bench.
He said he was prosecuted because of a Justice Department vendetta that began when he was appointed and was rooted in his refusal to betray the "little man" to overzealous prosecutors.
The order created no despair in the defense camp
"I'm up, I'm confident," said attorney Oscar Goodman the day after sentencing. "I've been infused with some of this newly developed strength my client showed in yesterday's performance."

Peres to discuss aid to Israel
NEW YORK - Shimon Peres arrived yesterday on his first visit to the United States as Israel's prime minister and said he will devote his talks with U.S. leaders to financial aid for Israel and strengthening ties between the nations.
By United Press International
Peres, who was greeted by Mayor Edward Koch of New York and American Jewish leaders at Kennedy International Airport, is scheduled to meet with President Reagan at the White House
Arriving at a midtown Manhattan hotel, Peres told reporters the goal of his trip was to strengthen the foundation between Israel and the United States.
PERES HAS SAID he would not ask for extra money, although government sources two weeks ago said he would ask Washington for $700 to $850 million in emergency aid in addition to the $2.6 billion already approved by Congress.
In addition to discussing issues in the Middle East, the prime minister said he wanted to focus on "the future of American aid to Israel."
The Israeli news media have speculated he may try to rearrange the proportion of military and economic aid or perhaps to delay the timetable for repayment.
Koch said he discussed Israel's need for economic aid with Peres, but the prime minister did not tell him specifically what aid he would
request.
The mayor said Peres did tell him that in 1973, right after the Yom Kippur War when the United States decided to assist Israel economically and with military funds, they gave it at that time about $2.6 billion.
"It has not gone up each year, although inflation has reduced the actual value of the loan and grant by more than 50 percent," he said.
request.
Peres' agenda includes meetings with Mondale, Javier Perez de Cuellar, secretary-general of the United Nations, New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Cyrus Vance, former Sen. Jacob Javis and other dignitaries.
Perez and his Labor Party have agreed to share power in a national unity government
Klan members' rally draws protest chants
By United Press International
MERIDEN, Conn. — A dozen white-brood members of the Ku Klux Klan rallied yesterday on a baseball field with lines of police separating them from protesters who shouted "Put the sheets back on the bed."
State police said 145 people passed through a search point to attend the rally at Cepa Field while about 20 demonstrators gathered on an adjacent street and chanted "Death to the Klan."
A smaller group of protesters entered the field and heckled the Klan, but no weapons were confiscated and there were no arrests or serious incidents, police said.
Protesters shouted down a speech
by Bill Wilkinson, imperial wizard of the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The protesters sang songs and chanted "Shame" and "Put the sheets back on the bed."
The Klan has held a series of marches and rallies in Meriden, a small industrial city in central Connecticut. More than 20 people were in rallies in 1881 when anti-Klan demonstrators hurled rocks, bridges and bottles.
It was the third Klan event of the weekend. There was a demonstration Saturday in New London at the launching of a new Trident sub-unit and a rally and cross burning that night in East Windsor.
