Agnew will appeal
$248,000 judgment
United Press International
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The
attorney for former Vice Presi
dent Spiro T. Agnew says his
client will appeal a ruling by
Maryland’s second highest court
upholding a quarter-million
dollar judgment against Agnew
for taking bribes.
Attorney T. Rogers Harrison
said he had not yet seen Tues
day’s opinion by the Court of
Special Appeals, but when told
of the verdict he said he un
doubtedly would appeal the de
cision.
The three-judge panel of
Maryland’s intermediate appel
late court unanimously upheld
the $248,735 judgment levied
against Agnew for accepting
bribes from highway contractors
while Maryland’s governor and
later as vice president.
Harrison said the decision
would be made within the next
30 days whether to appeal the
case to the state’s highest court,
the Court of Appeals, or to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The Court of Special Appeals
rejected Harrison’s six argu
ments that it overturn Anne
Arundel County Circuit Judge
Bruce Williams’ decision of
April 27, 1981, ordering Agnew
to repay the state $147,500 he
had accepted as kickbacks plus
$101,235 in interest.
Harrison attempted to discre
dit sworn statements by four
men involved in the kickback
scheme: Jerome Wolff, who
headed the State Roads Com
mission under Agnew; highway
engineers Lester Matz and Allen
I. Green, who paid kickbacks in
exchange for state highway con
tracts; and I.H. Hammerman, a
prominent Baltimore developer
who solicited the kickbacks on
behalf of Agnew and Wolff.
The statements and testi
mony during the trial depicted a
scheme in which payoffs, rang
ing from 1 percent to 10 percent
of contract amounts, were made
to Hammerman, who then gave
half to Agnew and 25 percent to
Wolff; he kept 25 percent.
As a result of the scandal,
Agnew, who was elected gov
ernor in 1966 but resigned in
January 1969 to become
Richard Nixon’s vice president,
pleaded “nolo contendere” to
federal tax evasion charges in
October 1973.
Oil-price hikes point
to end of global glut
United Press International
The first in what was expected
to be a series of price hikes for
North Sea oil indicates the glob
al oil glut should disappear in a
matter of weeks, industry obser
vers say.
British Petroleum Ltd. said
Tuesday that it opposes the
proposed $2.50-a-barrel in
crease in Britain’s North Sea
crude oil prices. But Norway
lifted its North Sea oil by $2.50
to an average $33.50 a barrel
amid signs the price could rise
again July 1.
Industry observers said the
North Sea price moves indicated
the global oil glut should dis
appear in a few weeks when sur
plus oil inventories are depleted
and the consuming nations are
forced to restock.
Analysts said Britain and
Norway, major U.S. sources of
non-OPEC crude, are prepared
to go only halfway at this point in
raising their prices, which could
reach $35 or $35.50 a barrel this
summer as the glut ends.
Meanwhile, Tokyo sources
said Japan will resume imports
of about 100,000 barrels a day of
Iranian oil next month under
long-term contracts at a fixed
price of $30.20 a barrel. Japan
suspended oil imports from
Iran last year because of a price
dispute and the Iran-Iraq war.
The British National Oil
Corp., which slashed its North
Sea crude by $4, to $31 a barrel
March 2 and prompted OPEC to
impose a production ceiling to
defend its prices, has asked cus
tomers to re-open negotiations
on a suggested price rise of
$2.50, to $33.50 a barrel.
But British Petroleum Ltd., a
major buyer of North Sea crude,
said petroleum product prices in
the U.K. and Europe do not sup
port a price increase of this mag
nitude. BP has not formally re
sponded to the BNOC proposal,
which must be accepted by its
customers.
BNOC had agreed to keep
prices at $31 a barrel through
June 1 barring extraordinary
market developments.
But an analyst said: “The
Falklands conflict has probably
reinforced Britain’s aesire to
raise prices.”
Statoil, Norway’s national oil
company, followed the lead of
BNOC and boosted its North
Sea crude by $2.50, to an aver
age $33.50 a barrel June 1.
The Norwegian action came a
day after former OPEC Presi
dent Mana Said al Otaiba, the
United Arab Emirates’ oil minis
ter, urged Britain and Norway
to raise their prices to $36.50 —
the current level for OPEC’s
best-quality African oil that
competes with North Sea crude.
Otaiba said OPEC may decide
to increase its production ceiling
of 17.5 million barrels a day if
the 13-nation cartel finds the
glut has vanished.

Inmates can’t be
guards, judge says
United Press International
HOUSTON — A federal
judge has given final approval to
a measure prohibiting the Texas
Department of Corrections
from using inmates as guards in
prisons but allowing them to
serve as clerks, orderlies and
janitors.
U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice of Tyler Tuesday
ruled that an agreement among
parties in the Texas prison law
suit regarding use of inmates as
guards would take effect im
mediately.
The agreement was reached
among lawyers for TDC, plain
tiff prisoners and the U.S. Jus
tice Department.
The plan specifies that in
mates may work as clerks, order
lies, field service workers and
janitors, but cannot “exercise su
pervisory or administrative au
thority over fellow prisoners.”
Justice tentatively approved
the agreement in April, but de
layed final approval to give TDC
inmates time to comment on the
proposal. An attorney for the in
mates said they doubted the
state would abide by the agree
ment.
“After having perused the ob
jections, I am very impressed
with the acuteness of the in
mates,” Justice said in issuing
the order. “But the fact that the
special master (an officer
appointed by the court to over
see TDC operations) will be
available to monitor the situa
tion makes the agreement satis
factory.”
Special Master Vincent
Nathan would have power to
monitor TDC’s compliance with
the latest order. Another por
tion of the agreement requires
TDC to improve its inmate-
guard ratio.
returned Tuesday, Willie James
Mitchell faces two to 10 years in
prison and a fine up to $5,000.
Prosecutors said officer
Stephen Ledbetter was working
undercover in an area plagued
by robberies and feigning intox
ication when he was approached
by a man May 6. The man said
he was a police officer but
offered to leave Ledbetter alone
in exchange for $50, police said.
But Ledbetter revealed his
identity and arrested Mitchell.
