Carter backers call foul
on draft-Kennedy groups
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter’s re-election committee
Thursday filed a complaint with the
Federal Elections Commission
charging that draft-Kennedy groups
are illegally engaged in a coordi
nated effort to solicit contributions,
and are exceeding legal funding
limits.
Carter-Mondale chairman Tim
Kraft said the Kennedy groups are
pouring thousands of dollars into the
Oct. 13 Florida precinct caucuses.
much of it illegally.
The International Association of
Machinists has contributed $33,000
to various draft Kennedy groups —
while their legal limit should be
only $5,000, Kraft said.
The suit challenges an earlier
FEC ruling that draft Kennedy
groups are not subject to the legal
funding limits because they have
not been authorized by Sen. Ed
ward Kennedy.
But Kraft contends the draft Ken
nedy groups are conducting a coor
dinated effort and are pooling teir
funds — both of which could be
against the law.
The Washington Post earlier re
ported that committee was filing the
suit.
Those named in the complaint
denied any impropriety — as did
Kennedy, who was not named.
“We have no involvement what
ever with these groups in fact, we’ve
disavowed them,” Kennedy
spokesman Thomas Southwick told
the Post.

Arming 6 China card*
not part of U.S. deck
United Press International
WASHINGTON -Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance said
Thursday the United States has
no intention of playing the
“China card’’ against the Soviet
Union by providing arms to Pek
ing.
In an interview on NBC-TV’s
“Today” program, Vance was
asked how the issue of Soviet
troops in Cuba may affect overall
relations between the United
States and Moscow.
He referred, during his re
sponse, to Thursday’s New York
Times report on a secret Defense
Department study which con
cludes the United States should
bolster China’s military potential
so “Peking could assist the west
in a war with the Soviet Union.’’
“Let me state flatly and
categorically we have no inten
tion of changing our policy,”
Vance said, noting the United
States does not sell arms or
technology which can be adapted
to military use in either China or
Russia.
“We are not going to sell arms
to China,” he said.
The Pentagon acknowledged
Wednesday that it had prepared
the study, but also denied it was
urging a policy of building up
China militarily.
“The document in question is
a staff study prepared within the
Department of Defense last
year,” Pentagon spokesman
Thomas Ross said. “It analyzed
the worldwide implications of a
possible Warsaw Pact attack on
NATO.
“It was not a study of China,
U.S. or Soviet policy,” he said.
“The study is purely a think
piece. It is no way represents the
policy of the Departmet of De
fense or the U.S. government ”

WATERLOO, Iowa — Crime

Hawk County.
Dozens of youths learn that by

“It’s a drag. You just work. It has

ambled into the county probation of

He had been arrested and
charged with second degree
burglary, armed robbery and de

signed him to work to repay dam
ages assessed at about $700. The
figure was later reduced to about
$300.

The Juvenile Restititution pro
gram is about two years old. Offen
ders work 35-40 hours every two
weeks until the bills are paid.
The program’s success prompted
state officials to urge other counties
to begin similar projects. The 1979
Legislature appropriated $400,000
for funding.
Chief probation officer Roger
Elsberry, 33, said the idea grew out
of a crime against an elderly
Waterloo school teacher in 1976.
The teacher was assaulted and rob
bed by three youths in her home.
She was never fully compensated for
the theft and personal injury.
“I decided at that point that this
office would take a stand and ad
dress the victims and their needs,
Elsberry said in an interview.
“I toyed with this pretty much
through 1977 because there was a
vacuum in the probation process.
Kids ask the question ‘Why am I on
probation? What do I have to do to
get off probation?’ Too many young
sters were saying, ‘Oh, nothing.
Elsberry decided to use county
money to hire youngsters instead of
arrest.
Youngsters can work daily tk
hours after school on weekends,!
longer hours in summer.
Jobs include cleaning parks, pi
ing up litter, mowing lawns for|
elderly, janitorial work at cowityc
flees, shoveling snow or rakii
leaves, helping at local daycare®
ters or painting fire hydrants

Seventy-five percent oftlei
wages — or a minimum of at fe
$35 — goes to their victims.
If a youth and his parents reft
to cooperate, the victim
encouraged to file a lawsuit in sm
claims court.
Only nine of the 72 victims
ferred to the court in 1978 acts
They filed a total of $13,71
claims. Five of the ninecasesw

Youths who plead guilty to
charges are eligible for the program,
Elsberry said. Those who plead in
nocent must go through traditional
processes.
If damages occurred, parents may
repay the victim outright or the
youth may pay damages himself if
he has funds or a job.
A juvenile who cannot find work
and lacks means for repayment is re
ferred to the restitution program.
Work hours are negotiated. De
termining factors are the severity of
