Nation/World University Daily Kansan / Thursday, March 8, 1990 7 Sergeants accused of drug smuggling The Associated Press MIAMI - Two U.S. Army sergeants used military mail to ship cocaine from Panama to the United States in their duffel bags, according to a federal indictment returned yesterday. Sgt. Raphel Fultz, based in Panama, and Sgt. Jarvis Earl Worels, in Fort Ord, Calif., were among 20 people indicted in the alleged scheme, which included four Colombians Fultz cooperated in uncovering the ring after he was arrested on a tip to the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Attorney Dexter Lehlinen said. There is no evidence of massive involvement of soldiers in drug trafficking," he said. "There is evidence, well-documented, that every segment of American society is influenced by drug trafficking. It's frankly not surprising that a couple of soldiers would run drugs." The smuggling began with four kilograms in October and culminated in the 180-kilogram shipment in February, the prosecutor said. Subway train derails, kills 3 in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA — A subway train derailed and smashed into a support beam during morning rush hour yesterday, shearing open one car. The crash killed three people, injured 130 and left some trapped for hours. The Associated Press Rescuers, aided by a mobile surgical team and special cutting equipment, freed the last two people nearly five hours after the accident. Transit officials said they were looking into a report that a dragging electric motor on one of the cars may have caused the damage. WASHINGTON — Health Secretary Louis Sullivan said yesterday that the government would propose a more informative food system to replace the confusing system that shops now encounter. FDA to propose clearer food labeling Officials said it was the worst accident in the 21 years the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority had operated the regional commuter system. The Associated Press to be labeled "low fat" or "high fiber." "The grocery store has become a Tower of Babel, and consumers need to be linguists, scientists and mind readers to understand the many labels they encounter," Sullivan told a food policy conference. "Some food labels are hard to read and understand. Vital information is missing, and frankly, some unfounded health claims are being made in the marketplace." he said. "It's a real mess." Consumer groups praised the intent of the proposal but criticized the FDA for moving too slowly to get around that has been building for years. Sullivan said the Food and Drug Administration would propose a three-phase change in food-labeling regulations. Final regulations would be in place sometime in 1991, he said. Two bills pending in Congress, sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif, and Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, would impose requirements similar to those Sullivan discussed. Industry groups complained that the government's plan would allow states to go beyond the federal labeling rules and impose their own requirements on manufacturers. This could result in 50 different sets of labeling requirements food makers would have to meet. Nation/World briefs PORDEXTER JURY SELECTED: A jury of seven women and five men was sworn in yesterday for the Iran-contra trial of John Poindexter. His lawyers are attempting to curtail sharply any damaging testimony from Oliver North, the government's lead-off witness. The jury was sent home for the day after being selected from a pool of 45 people. U.S. District Court, Judge Harold Greene began considering the question of whether to limit North's testimony. Greene denied one motion to prevent all or part of North's testimony but made no immediate ruling on another to limit some aspects of it. CHARAGES STAND: A judge refused yesterday to dismiss charges against Joseph Hazelwood after the prosecution rested its case and the defense offered a new theory on why the former Exxon Valdez skipper should be cleared. Attorney Dick Madson argued that Hazelwood should be acquitted of the charge of operating the vessel while intoxicated. He said his client technician had been drinking when it went aground March 24, causing the nation's worst oil spill. He suspects that North will be the first government witness in the case against Poindexter, Greene said. Madson based his argument on case law involving drunken driving. He said Hazelwood's decision to go below and turn over control of the ship's bridge to the third mate absolved him from responsibility. HOUSE SUAINS VETO: The House yesterday sustained President Bush's veto of a bill to have the government intervene in the year-old Eastern Airlines dispute, dealing a blow to organized labor and Democratic leaders. The vote, 261-180, was short of the two-thirds majority needed to override the president's veto. House Minority Leader Robert Michel, R-III., argued before the vote that the dispute between the bankrupt carrier and 8,500 striking machinists belonged in bankruptcy courts and that a congressional panel would be unable to resolve the complex matter. The bill would have created a four-member bipartisan commission to study the strike and recommend ways to resolve it. SANDINISTA DEFENSE: Sandinista leaders say they'll hand over the government April 25, but their local forces don't appear ready to hand over their guns. The army, a party organ, is delivering truckloads of assault rifles to civilians in poor neighborhoods of the Jineteo and Matagalapa provinces, areas the leftist Sandistas regard as their "social bases." "All the barrios have guns. They are all defending their land," said Francisca Castleblanco as she showed off her new AK-47. She is a 52-year-old tortilla vendor. CRUISE TO THE BEACH!
