federal judge killed in the line of
duty.
At least one defense attorney,
William Ravkind of Dallas, be
lieves the grand jury will indict
several people in the Wood
slaying and his client, El Paso
attorney Joe Chagra, may be one
of those charged.
“They (federal prosecutors)
know everything about the kill
ing,” Ravkind said. “I think they
have enough to prove it and are
just tying up some loose ends.”
Wood, who was known as
“Maximum John” for his tough
sentencing of drug offenders, was
shot in the back outside his north
San Antonio townhouse on May
29, 1979. Federal officials have
said the Wood investigation has
been as thorough as inquiries into
the assassinations of U.S. presi
dents.
A special grand jury convened
shortly after Wood’s death to try to
solve the slaying, but the panel
reportedly disbanded last month
without issuing any indict
ments in the case.
Although the panel reportedly
dissolved, U.S. District Judge
William Sessions of San Antonio
has imposed a gag order on the
grand jury proceedings and feder
al officials have refused to confirm
or deny a new grand jury was orga
nized.
Ravkind, who accompanied
Chagra through more than five
hours of interviews with federal
investigators in San Antonio last
week, said Chagra is anxious to
prove he was not involved in the
Wood slaying.
“I hope to God they (FBI
agents) haven’t arrived at a point
where they have to indict Joe
(Chagra) because of the evidence
they seized from his office,” Rav
kind said.
Ravkind said evidence seized
from Chagra’s FI Paso office and
home, which reportedly included

energy aid for heating bills

United Press International
WASHINGTON — A battle between Frost Belt
and Sun Belt states over aid to the poor to pay home
energy bills erupted Tuesday, with Sen. Lloyd Bent-
sen, D-Texas, vowing to kill the program unless it is
made fairer to southern states.
“It is an indisputable fact that heat can kill as
surely and as massively as cold,” Bentsen told a
Senate Labor and Human Resources subcommittee.
He said deaths caused by the heat wave that swept
southern and central states last summer “may have
been as many as 4,000.”
Connecticut Gov. William O’Neill and Mas
sachusetts Gov. Edward King, representing north
eastern governors, urged the panel to re-authorize
the energy aid at $1.85 billion, the same as last year,
even though President Reagan has authorized only
$1.4 billion.
“Unless this program can be made more efficient
and equitable, then I will lead the fight not just to cut
it by one-quarter, but rather to eliminate the prog
ram altogether,” said Bentsen.
He accused Frost Belt lawmakers of “intolerant
regionalism” for slanting the aid last year to?
colder parts of the country.
“In their avarice for regional conflict, legisi
