Former Israeli justice refuses to join spy scandal investigation
JERUSALEM — A former chief justice yesterday refused to join a commission investigating the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal, casting a shadow over Israel's efforts to restore its lost credibility in Washington.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who initially appointed an investigation, quickly named a replacement. But political analysts said the loss of former Supreme Court President Moshe Landau's expertise decreased the two-member panel's credibility.
Pollard, 32, was sentenced to life in prison last week for selling U.S. military secrets to Israel in an 18-
month operation that ended with his arrest in 1985.
Llandau said he thought the panel lacked the clout to properly investigate why Pollard, a former Navy civilian intelligence analyst, was recruited to spy on the United States for Israel.
"Mr. Landau said that although he does not reject in principal the idea of an investigative committee, he believes that the authority invested in such a committee would not allow him, a former justice, to fulfill such a role," the government said one day after the panel was established.

Senate debates cutting off aid to contras
WASHINGTON — The Senate debated a resolution yesterday that would cut $40 million in therapy aid to the Nicaraguan rebels.
Speaker Jim Wright of Texas and Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd said they did have the votes to kill President Reagan's certain veto of the moratorium if it managed to pass Congress.
The House voted 230-196 on Wednesday to suspend the $40 million
for six months until Reagan accounts for all aid that the contras have received, including any illegal profits from the sale of arms to Iran.
Lawmakers agreed that they were playing parliamentary games over trying to cut off $40 million in military aid to the CIA-recruited rebels, the final installment of a $100 million package it approved last year on a 53-47 vote.
North aide could be jailed for contempt
WASHINGTON — Retired Maj. Gen, Richard Secord, an important figure in the Iran-contra scandal, could go to jail for contempt of Congress if he still resists giving investigators access to Swiss bank accounts, officials said yesterday.
Iran were diverted to the Nicaraguan rebels.
Senate sources said Second and his lawyer said "nuts" to the Senate panel investigating the affair when it asked for permission to access the accounts he controlled. Those accounts apparently were the channels through which profits from U.S. arms sales to
Sources said Wednesday that Secord could be cited for contempt of Congress within the month, and ordered jailed indefinitely, if he still refused to sign an order giving the panel access to records from secret Swiss bank accounts.
"I assume that the documents are not produced, we will proceed with a contempt citation," said Sen. William Cohen, R-Maine, a member of the Senate panel.

Poultry truck tips cargo of 5,000 chickens
WASHINGTON, Pa. — A poultry truck lost its cargo on Interstate 70 yesterday, spilling 5,000 live chickens onto the highway and snarling traffic for more than four hours.
"Chickens are everywhere," a police dispatcher said after the pre-dawn accident in southwestern Pennsylvania. "It's a sight to see."
The birds were in crates that fell off the tractor-trailer as it was
heading west on I-70. Many of the crates broke open when they hit the ground.
"Somehow the tractor-trailer's load shifted and lost the chickens," the dispatcher said.
The truck driver was not iniured.
Police restricted traffic on west-
bound lanes from 4:30 a.m. to 8:45
a.m. while the chickens, dead and
alive, were rounded up.
