Citizens offer cash
to clean out crooks
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — The red, white and blue reward poster depicts
Uncle Sam pointing outward and the caption says “Honesty Pays Up
to $10,000.”
It’s part of a “blow the whistle” campaign by the American Citizens
for Honesty in Government that will offer rewards to citizens who
help catch dishonest local, state or federal officials and its organizers
say it’s a chance to clean up the government.
ACHG representatives Debbie Sharp and Danny Chadwell are
touring Texas as part of a 100-city nationwide program sponsored by
the Church of Scientology to ferret out graft, corruption and
“bureaucratic burglars” in government.
Sharp said the “honesty pays” campaign seeks “to warn the
bureaucratic regulars who are stealing billions of dollars from hard
working taxpayers that we are not going to take it any more.”
ACHG said it would pay $5,000 for information leading to a convic
tion, plus bonuses of $3,000 if the person convicted is the head of an
agency, $2,000 if there is a conspiracy, $2,000 for evidence the Jus
tice Department knew of the criminal activity and did nothing, and
$1,000 for evidence that a governmental agency is trying to monitor
or impair the ACHG campaign.

Israeli settlement
decision upsets U.S.
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The United
States expressed its concern Thurs
day over the Israeli decision to bol
ster Jewish settlements in occupied
Arab lands, and President Carter
underlined the statement with a
message to Prime Minister
Menachem Begin.
Without disclosing the content of
the message, State Department
spokesman Hodding Carter said,
“The president communicated with
Prime Minister Begin through nor
mal diplomatic channels within the
last 12 hours.
Word of the Carter-Begin mes
sage came hours after the depart
ment released a one-paragraph
statement from Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance that said Washington is
"deeply disturbed” over the settle
ments decision.
"We regard the reported decisioj
by the Israeli (.'abinet to 'thicken
some of the settlements on the Weal
Bank as a very serious matter!
are deeply disturbed by it. We havil
alreads communicated with Primtl
Minister Begin and will refrainfrojl
any further comment until we ie|
ceive his response,’ the statemeitl
said.
The I sraeli move is seen by’soiwj
as a possible obstacle that couldiii

peace talks.
“This statement is not issuell
lightly,” Hodding Carter said.

PARIS — Amadou Mahtar M’Bow, director general of the U.N.
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, defended a con
troversial draft declaration on the news media Thursday, and said it
had been erroneously interpreted or even purposely twisted.
M’Bow spoke at the opening of the general debate of the 20th
UNESCO general conference. During the coming five weeks, 146
member countries will take up the principal issue of the draft declara
tion which, in effect, sanctions government supervision of news
media.
The declaration, backed by the Soviet bloc and several Third
World countries, has been denounced as unacceptable by the United
States and is opposed by other industrial countries.
M’Bow, rather than seeking a formal vote on it by the numbers, is
seeking an informal “consensus” in favor of the declaration. But U.S.
officials say this is unlikely.
M’Bow, from Senegal, said the draft "has brought out passionate
viewpoints due sometimes, it seems, to an erroneous interpretation
or deliberate distortion of its objectives. ”
He said he edited the draft after it proved too controversial to be
passed at the previous 1976 general conference in Nairobi. He asked
members to read it "objectively and dispassionately
“Certain circles give this declaration some sort of hidden inten
tion,” the director general said.
The declaration calls for the news media "to reinforce peace and
international understanding,” he said.
M’Bow said, “How is it conceivable that organs of information, the
essential instruments of communication among all the individuals of
this planet, can hold back from this gigantic effort to promote a new
spirit in the relations among men?”
The Western reply to this — which U.S. delegate John Reinhardt
is expected to formulate when he takes his turn at the podium next
week — is that the West sees the role of the press as freely finding
and presenting the facts, and leaving it for peoples and governments
to make their own efforts in the light of these facts.
The declaration also encourages the rich countries to help poor
countries set up their own news agencies and other news media. This
is supported by the United States and other industrial countries.
Indeed, while M’Bow was speaking, UNESCO announced that the
industrial countries had contributed $4 million to develop news
agency and radio news broadcasting in Africa. This is the biggest
single contribution UNESCO has received to promote newsgathering
in underdeveloped countries.
