ide," he said

Third World countries signed
agreements worth a record $14
billion. The report says the slow
down apparently was caused by
the Third World countries
trying to pay for the earlier re
cord sale at a time of ap interna
tional economic slump.
For 1981, State Department
figures show U.S. arms sales to
Third World countries were ab
out $5 billion.
The report said the Soviets
picked up several important
new customers, including Jor
dan and Nicaragua.
However, the Soviets appa
rently had setbacks in the Third
World, according to the report,
because of their invasion of
Afghanistan and their support
of the Vietnamese invasion of
Kampuchea (Cambodia).
In addition to the arms sales,
the Soviets, according to the re
port, continue to use military
and technical advisers to spread
their presence.
The State Department says
the Soviet Union and other War
saw Pact country agreements in
the Third World “continue a
post-World-War-II pattern of
aggressively building Commun
ist political military, and econo
mic influence in the Third
World.”
The report says the number
of Soviet and East European
advisers in the Third World rose
to a record 115,000 in 1981, a 15
per cent jump from the previous
year.
Soviet and East European
arms sales involved the services
of 57,400 Soviet and other advis
ers and trainers in a total of 34
Third World countries, an in
crease of 8,700 advisers from
the previous year.

Ethics questioned
in land purchases
United Press International
WASHINGTON — An attor
ney for a hazardous waste dis
posal company bought 229 acres
of land for about $262,000 —
more than the market rate —
from an Alabama lawmaker who
won passage of a law restricting
the firm’s competitors, officials
say.
The legislator, state Rep. Pre
ston C. Minus Jr., confirmed the
land deal and disclosed Ira
Drayton Pruitt Jr., the attorney
for Chemical Waste Manage
ment Inc., also has an unwritten
option to buy another 450 acres
of his property.
Frank Campbell, Minus’ pre
decessor in the state legislature,
said he will ask the state Ethics
Commission and Alabama’s
attorney general to investigate
possible conflicts of interest in
Minus’ role in the legislation and
his land deals with Pruitt, who
also is his personal lawyer.
Campbell said he also would
ask state officials to investigate
a uestions of conflicts in another
eal, in which the state bought
580 acres from Pruitt for $2.4
million — a price county officials
say was inflated.
Chemical Waste Manage
ment operates a sprawling che
mical landfill in Emelle, Ala.
The Oakbrook, Ill., firm was
facing potential competition
from a firm that wanted to set up
a chemical recycling facility
adjacent to the Emelle landfill
when Minus pushed through
legislation in late 1981 to bar
more than one hazardous waste
facility from operating in each
county.
Minus, denying any conflict
of interest, said he lobbied for
release of state funds to build a
port and industrial park in his
Sumter County district, which
has faced high unemployment.
He acknowledged the funds for
the port included the $2.4 mil
lion used last year to buy proper
ty Pruitt owns along the Tennes-
see-Tombigbee Waterway.
Pruitt, former mayor of
Livingston, Ala., does legal work
for the Sumter County Indust
rial Board that selected the site.
He is a business partner of the
board’s chairman, according to
board Vice Chairman Leroy
Overstreet. Mark Gregory,
southeast regional manager for
Chemical Waste Management,
which seeks to use the port, also
serves on the 11-member board.
County Tax Assessor Joseph
Stegall said the prices Pruitt paid
and proposes to pay Minus for
all but a small chunk of the land
seem higher than those in recent
sales of comparable property in
the area’s depressed real estate
market. He noted Minus bought
the biggest tract for $ 113,000 in
1979 and sold it to Pruitt in late
1981, when prices were drop
ping, for $198,000.
