NEW YORK — Babies reared
by their fathers while the
mothers work develop faster
than the norm.
Yale University child
psychiatrist Kyle Pruett, who
Tested 17 such infants, found
they scored way above norms on
standardized development tests.
His findings are reported in the
January issue ol' Psychology
Today.
Pruett says the babies were
distinguished by the amount of
love and attention they got from
both parents. Unlike many
working fathers, working
mothers developed close attach
ments to their babies.
Most breast-fed the infants,
often at great inconvenience to
themselves, Pruett says.

Chagra trial
to start soon
United Press International
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
Jamiel “Jimmy” Chagra looked
as if he were having a good time
Monday during questioning for
jury selection in his trial for the
murder of a federal judge in
Texas nearly four years ago.
The swarthy Chagra, 39,
dapper in a blue suit, black wavy
hair, mustache and white side
burns, smiled broadly and fre
quently Monday as prospective
jurors answered the questions of
U.S. District Judge William H.
Sessions.
He passed a note via his attor
ney, Oscar Goodman of Las
Vegas, Nev., to two blonde
women who sat in the second
row of the spectators’ section
Monday afternoon. He also
“shot” Sessions with his finger.
Outside the courtroom, the
women declined to give their
names. Other women cropped
up from time to time in the cour
troom to get a glimpse of the
darkly handsome Chagra, who
owned a $1 million mansion in
Las Vegas.
One of them, a young woman,
appeared to be sobbing. She
vanished before reporters could
get her identity.
Chagra is accused of paying
convicted “hit man” Charles V.
Harrelson, 44, $250,000 to gun
Chagra was severed from the
others when his brother, Joseph
Chagra of El Paso, the key gov
ernment witness in the San
Antonio trial, refused to testify
against his brother. Joseph
Chagra pleaded guilty to mur
der conspiracy and was given a
10-year sentence.

down U.S. District Judge John
H. Wood Jr., 63, on May 29,
1979. Wood is the only federal
judge to be assassinated in this
century.
On Monday, Sessions, who
moved the trial to Jacksonville
because of extensive publicity in
Texas, questioned 26 prospec
tive jurors individually, excus
ing six of them for cause and
directing 20 others to return
Tuesday.
They will join a group of 15
who said they had no knowledge
of the case and about 40 others
who remain to be questioned in
dividually about the extent of
what they have seen, heard or
read about the case in the media. ‘
Last Dec. 16 a federal court
jury in San Antonio found Har
relson guilty of murdering
Wood with a single rifle shot in
the back. Harrelson’s wife, Jo
Ann, 41, and Chagra’s wife, Eli
zabeth, 28, were found guilty of
conspiracy.

Reagan has new plan
Cure for farm blues?

nomic crisis in 50 years, Tuesday
prepared a plan he hopes will
return prosperity to the farm
and cut expensive support prog
rams.
Reagan planned to be in Dal
las for the 64th annual conven
tion erf the American Farm
Bureau Federation, armed with
plans to implement a program
that fell victim to hostile man
euvering in the lame-duck 97th
Congress.
I n the latest in a series of steps
to shore up the sagging farm
economy, Reagan and his advis
ers decided to bypass Congress
on a plan to pay farmers surplus
grain in exchange for agree-
ments to cut back crop produc
tion.
White House aides said a
lengthy review by government
lawyers concluded congression
al action was not necessary to
undertake the program, but
could not rule out a possible
court challenge.
Administration officials indi
cated Reagan would carry other
plums to the Farm Bureau con
vention as well, including the
promise of an expanded!
program to encouragefaij
ports.
