Tass says hostages are being
brainwashed before release

with Iran negotiated by the Carter
administration.
The official Tass news agency, in a
dispatch from Washington, also ex
pressed indignation that President
Reagan has not committed himself to
fulfilling terms of the agreement
The Tass comment on the hos
tages referred to the 52 Americans as
“staff members of the American
Embassy set free by Iran,” and said
they are “now kept in full isolation at
the American military base in Wies
baden.
“Before the former hostages are
allowed to meet press representa
tives, they will be subjected to a de
tailed interrogation and brain
washing and a big group of CIA ex
perts and psychologists are already
there for the purpose.
“The American authorities ob
viously fear that the former hostages
could declare for all to hear that they
do not have hostile feelings for the
Iranian people,” Tass said.
Tass said this was the result of
“strong pressure from influential
financial circles of the United States
which are not going to release from
their hands the wealth of the Iranian
people. ”

AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements
called on the Legislature Thursday
to push for improvements in public
education, law enforcement and wa
ter resources, but cautioned the
state’s lawmakers to be frugal with
the budget for the next biennium.
In his state of the state address,
the governor asked the legislators to
trim $515 million from its initial
proposal and return the extra money
to taxpayers in the form of tax relief
or a trust fund for future water
needs.
Clements stressed harmony in a
session that already has been marked
by acrimony before it has tackled any
major items of business.
“To improve our state, to meet
the expectations of the public, we
must form a partnership based on
respect and cooperating. While dis
agreement will always be a part of a
democracy, so must the search for
common ground,” the governor
said.
Clements recommended that the
lawmakers consider a series of edu
cation bills calling for a return to
basics in public school education, an
end to social promotions, competen
cy testing for prospective teachers
and a 22 percent pay raise for
teachers during the next two years.
The governor also pushed his
package of anti-crime legislation, in
cluding a controversial wiretap bill, a
constitutional amendment providing
initiative and referendum, construc
tion of two new prisons and a region
al primary involving five southwest
ern states.

Although he promised to reduce
the state bureaucracy by 25,000 em
ployees when he campaigned for
governor in 1978, Clements admit
ted that only 532 full-time em
ployees had been trimmed during
his tenure.
Clements also recommended the
establishment of a State Water Trust
Fund, a reserve of surplus dollars to
meet future water needs. The prop
osal was first mentioned by Speaker
Bill Clayton. The governor said wa
ter would be Texas’ most critical fu
ture problem.
“We could be facing a crisis if we
do not accurately assess our needs
and prepare to meet them,” he told
the joint session of the House and
Senate.
“(But) we have stopped the growth
in our state government for the first
time since 1945 and we can take
pride in this achievement,” he said.
The tone of the governor’s speech,
which was interrupted seven times
by applause, was conciliatory. Cle
ments, instead of pushing for reduc
tion in government spending and
manpower, proposed managing the
state better.

Clements also favored creation of the

proposals in general were workable.

proposals, but in whole he presented

“While inflation causes increases
in state spending, I believe we can
control these increases by emphasiz

Clements, who campaigned
against many of the people he was
speaking to, also appealed for the
legislators to work in harmony with
him for the benefit of Texas citizens.

United Press International
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — A
Navy psychiatrist testified today
that accused Marine turncoat
Robert R. Garwood told him other
Americans are still alive in Vietnam.
The disclosure was made out of
the presence of the jury in Gar
wood’s court-martial on charges of
desertion and collaboration with the

enemy during nearly 14 years in
Vietnam.
Capt. Benjamin R. Ogburn of
Pensacola, Fla., said Garwood told
him during a nine-hour interview
“he knew there were other people in
Vietnam and felt that knowledge
should be brought out.”
“As I recall, he said he was con

there, that he did not know them
personally, but that he had seen
them from a distance and did not
know who they were,” Ogburn said.
Ogburn said Garwood told him of
his knowledge of other Americans
while expressing a concern he had
not been debriefed by government
officials. Prosecutors disclosed Gar
wood had talked with military au
thorities about his knowledge of the
other Americans during a "limited”
debriefing session in the presence of
his lawyers.
Garwood has indicated he does
have knowledge of other Americans
in Vietnam, but has refused to make
any public statements, saying he
would wait until the end of his court
martial.
Ogburn testified he believes Gar
wood “had the mental capacity to
appreciate the criminality of his
conduct” in Vietnam.
Ogburn also said Garwood be
lieves his alienation from other
Americans in a Viet Cong prison
camp began when he expressed a
desire to kill a camp staff member.
Ogburn said Garwood believes
other Americans told the Viet Cong

NEW ORLEANS—A federal appeals court today upheld a Board of
Immigration and Naturalization order deporting reputed Mafia boss
Carlos Marcello.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s
decision that suspended the order, saying that court lacked jurisdiction
in the case.

A district court ruled that the immigration board “abused its discre

case. The 5th Circuit said, however, the lower court had no business
dealing with the matter.
Marcello, along with former Louisiana Commissioner of Adminis
tration Charles Roemer and three others, face trial in March on federal
charges stemming from the FBI’s year-long Brilab investigation.

Congress enacted a statute providing that courts of appeals are the
sole organs of review for final deportation orders, the three-judge
panel ruled, and substantial evidence supported the board’s denial of
the deportation suspension.
Marcello, 70, is widely regarded as the kingpin of organized crimein
south Louisiana, with its lucrative ports, strong labor ties and heavy
drug traffic.
He was convicted in 1930on robbery and assault charges and in 1938
on marijuana charges. The latter has been the focal point of a 30-year
federal battle to deport him.
His last conviction came in 1968, on an assault charge, for taking a
swing at an FBI agent. He has spent a total ofa little over six years in jail
on the various convictions.
Marcello was indicted by a federal grand jury last summer of
bribery, conspiracy and fraud charge? in connection with a scheme to
influence lucrative state insurance contracts.
