Officials at the Criminal In vestigation Division at Fort Bliss said there have been a steady stream of indictments since the arrests began Jan. 6, and “more are planned in the weeks ahead as the investigation continues.” “They were picked up for possession, use and sale of nar cotics,” said Lt. Col. John Hay, CID commander at Fort Bliss, about the 84 lower-ranked milit ary personnel and 38 civilians arrested. \ Hay said possession of any amount of narcotic substance is a felony violation under military law. Specific punishment is the de cision of the military comman der. Hay said a first offense usually results in a disciplinary measure, a fine of $200 to $400 and reduction in rank. Second offenses or incidents involving persons selling narco tics are dealt with more harshly. Hay said, noting possible max imum sentences call for up to 10 years hard labor in a military prison, with forfeiture of all pay and benefits and reduction in rank. Hay said civilians charged in the case will be prosecuted in civilian courts, adding that those accused of committing crimes on government property will be tried in the U.S. District Court. “The perception of some civi lians,” said Hay, “is that they can come on post and commit crimes, sell drugs or whatever, and when they leave the bistalla- tion, they’re off scot-free.” He said civilians mistakenly look at Fort Bliss as an “easy target for drug sales.” But he said the consequences actually are rougher than people expect. “Although our jurisdiction does end at the military fence line, we work very closely with other law enforcement offi cials,” Hay said. Estimated values of the drugs confiscated in the bust, which began Jan. 6, included $52,430 worth of ijuana; $43,000 worth of cocaine; $15,000 worth of he- Coal pipeline route disputed Now Serving ■Espresso "Cappuccino •Hot Tea "Egg Nog •Hot Cider •Choiceof Freshly Ground Coffee And A Fabulous Array Of Desserts Daily - 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Mon- Sat College Station Location Only!

A pre-conference hearing be fore the Texas Railroad Com mission touched off a prema ture debate between the rail roads and the pipeline develop ers over the planning of the $3 billion project. The utility regulatory agency must decide whether the pipe line is feasible before Energy Transportation Systems Inc., a Houston-based energy consor- torium, can acquire right-of-way for a 945-mile stretch of pipeline through 36 Texas counties. A three-member commission hearing panel tentatively sche duled a series of hearings along the proposed route to begin in April. A final hearing will be held during June in Austin. Wednesday’s hearing was de signed to set up a formal public hearing procedure, but Joe Crawford, a lawyer for the Mis souri, Kansas and Texas Rail road, complained that Texas landowners still do not know whether their property would be crossed by the pipeline. “I was shocked when I learned this morning that prop erty owners don’t know where the pipeline is going.” he said.
