Israel blamed
for massacre
United Press International
HOUSTON — Former
[Watergate prosecutor Leon
aworski, who prosecuted
slazi war criminals after
World War II, said Israeli
. I military and civilian officials
vlt M might be guilty of war crimes
m the massacre or civilian
alestinians in refugee camps
c!ea "l in Beirut.
“They (Israeli officials) had
tstheis ithe power to permit them
(militia) to go in or not,”
gurec jaworski said Tuesday.
| shouli ^“Accordingly, they (Israelis)
s the It had the responsiblity to make
in®; sure they acted responsibly.”
Jaworski said while inter
national law often is murky,
elasticl| the rules of war are well orga
nized. The 1907 Hague Con
vention on land warfare was
written to protect civilians
caught up in a warm
“This is a clear-cut case of
civilians being abused,”
Jaworski said.
AUniversity of Houston in
ternational law professor Jor-
( dan Paust said the United Na
tions convention against
genocide bans massacres and
gives Israel a duty to search
out and prosecute suspected
war criminals.
Paust said Israeli officers
and civilian officials would be
criminally responsible for the
massacre if they knew about
the massacre or if they should
have known and did nothing
to prevent it.
The professor questioned
how fair and complete the
Israeli investigation will be be
cause Supreme Court Presi
dent Yitzhak Kahan will head
the investigation. That could
effectively prevent future
prosecutions because Kahan
could not sit as a judge hear
ing appeals from convictions,
Paust said.
One of the most important
unanswered questions, Paust
said, is whether Israel will pro
secute its citizens who are sus
pected of war crimes.
“Of all the countries, you
would expect Israel to do its
duty,” he said.
Police chief fires
Richardson officer
United Press International
DALLAS — The police de
partment has fired a 2 2-year
veteran of the force accused of
raping a woman he had stopped
| for a traffic violation, officials
'said Wednesday.
A Dallas County grand jury
Monday declined to indict offic
er Jack L. Cranford, 44, on
charges of rape and violating the
, 23-year-old woman’s civil rights.
Police Chief Billy Prince said
he dismissed the officer for a
number of administrative viola
tions including dereliction of
duty, failure to take proper
police action, submitting a false
report, sexual conduct while on
duty, conduct unbecoming to a
police officer and failure to de
vote full time to duty.
Cranford has been on leave
with pay since Sept. 1 after

police in suburban Richardson,
where the incident allegedly
occurred, said the woman pas
sed a lie-detector test.
A Dallas police spokesman
said the woman was given a
breathalyzer test the night of the
alleged incident and that the re
sults showed a level of 0.24, in
excess of the state defined intox
ication level of 0.10.
The woman told police she
was stopped for running a stop
sign in the Dallas city limits ab
out 1 a.m. Aug. 22. She said af
ter the officer walked her to her
van, he asked for her driver’s
license, told her she was drunk
and threatened to take her to jail
if she refused to have sexual in
tercourse with him.
Frightened at the prospect of
jail, the woman said she agreed
to have sex with the officer. She
said he drove her van to her
home in suburban Richardson
and parked it in the driveway,
where he forced her into the
back of the van to have inter
course with him.
Police said the polygraph test
given the woman showed “no
deceptive responses.”
“All the evidence indicates he
(Cranford) was guilty of sexual
conduct on duty and failing to
make an obvious DWI arrest,”
Prince said.
Cranford, who had 10 days to
appeal the decision, said Tues
day he had not decided whether
to do so.
“I thought it (the termination)
was a little bit harsh,” he said.
“I’ve seen officers do this type of
thing before and they weren’t
fired. It’s one of them deals. I
mean, was the woman fired
from her job? It’s not fair.”

men to seek help.
Women also tend to be the
major abusers of combinations
of alcohol and drugs, he said.
“These facts compel us to
make a special prevention effort
for this group,” Newby said.
Justice Sondock said she
hoped society would change its
perception of women with
drinking problems so that more
women will be willing to seek
assistance.
“This is the reason for this
prevention campaign,” she said.
“Drinking is neither a badge of
liberation nor is it a badge of
shame.”
