United Press International
DALLAS — Hearings were
scheduled today in the armed
robbery retrial of black engineer
Lenell Geter, with defense
lawyers expected to unveil new
alibi evidence and prosecutors
moving to draw on network
news tapes.
Several new alibi witnesses
have stepped forward to bolster
the defense of Geter, 26, who
was convicted in October 1982
of robbing a Kentucky Fried
Chicken. He was sentenced to
life in prision.
Prosecutors in the case have
asked state District Judge John
Ovard to order CBS News to
preserve tapes of interviews, in
cluding material not used in a
“60 Minutes” report on the Ge
ter case that aired in December.
Investigators for Dallas Dis
trict Attorney Henry Wade, who
came under fire after the case
drew national media coverage
amid charges of racism, have re
traced their investigation into
Geter’s background.
The prosecutors’ probe has
touched on Geter’s home life,
financial records, relationships
with friends and co-workers,
and life in South Carolina be
fore his move to Greenville,
Texas.
His case gained national pub
licity after Geter claimed he was
a victim of racism, misidentifica-
tion and shoddy police work.
The NAACP has furnished
additional lawyers to handle the
case.
Prosecutors said they believed
the “60 Minutes” footage could
be useful in court. Calling the
CBS segment “slanted,” Wade
said, “We’d like to look at some
of the things they didn’t play.”

DALLAS — A man killed by a
bomb placed in a newspaper
vending box told other members
of his business class that he was a
government agent who infil
trated the Ku Klux Klan and the
American Nazi party, a newspap
er reported Sunday.
Federal officials said Ward S.

connection between Keeton’s
former activities and the bomb
ing, the Dallas Times Herald re
ported.
“Wedon’t have any informa
tion linking the KKK to this
thing,” one federal source said.
But a federal prosecutor said
the investigation is uncovering
“too many coincidences” and is
looking “less and less random.”
Keeton, 63, was killed instantly
Friday when a bomb in the news
paper box he purchased a paper
from at the same time each
morning exploded.
Keeton was enrolled in a busi
ness skil class at Richland Gollege
two years ago. Classmates said he
brought Nazi propaganda, swas
tikas and weapons as visual aids
for a speech he made about his
undercover activities.
One student told the Times
Herald that Keeton’s “main func
tion was to find out basically
something about their (Nazi and
KKK’s) main motives, just to
keep tapped in and keep a tight
rein on what’s going on.”
Classmate Robert Germain
told the newspaper that Keeton
told the class, “The government
back then was into believing any
thing that was anti-establishment
was anti the government, so they
sent people to make sure these
groups weren’t getting into any
thing they weren’t suppoed to.”
The instructor, who asked not
to be identified, s “When he
talked about those things, he’d
say a few things and say he
couldn’t say more because it was
secret. I just passed that off as hot
Keeton always argued for the
conservative view, his instructor
told the newspaper.
Keeton’s neighbors at the
North Dallas apartment complex
described him as a reclusive man,
but his former classmates dis
agreed, saying he was likable and
would socialize with class mem
bers, most of whom were
younger.

Miss USA visits B-CS for
By LEIGH FORREST
Reporter
From Austin to College
Station to New York — all in
one day.
That’s what Miss USA did
Saturday when she made a
promotional appearance at
Gordons’Jewelers in Post Oak
Mall on her way from Austin
to New York.
Julie Hayek said that 75
percent of her year as Miss
USA 1983 is spent traveling.
And even though the travel
ing may get tiring, she wants
to make the most of this year.
“Any time I get tired,” she
said, “I think, ‘next year, I can
sleep all I want. This is only
for one year, so do as much as
you can.’”
Hayek said that a lot of peo
ple think it’s easy to be Miss
USA. But why wouldn’t they?
Her prizes totaled over
$ 150,000 — $90,000 in cash, a
new car, a full-length mink
coat, a home entertainment
center and an apartment for a
year in New York City.
Despite all the prizes,
Hayek said being Miss USA
gets difficult — but she enjoys
it.
“It’s exciting,” she said. “It’s
just opened up so many new
doors.”

One of the doors it has
opened may lead to an acting
career.
“Acting is my primary
goal,” she said, “but my real
ambition is to be a dentist.”
Hayek said she hopes to
combine a career in acting
with dental school after she
graduates from college.
“It’s great because they’re
so different, I have something
to fall back on,” Hayek said.
“Whenever I’m in school
thinking that I’d love to be
doing something else, I can
just go on my interviews. Or if
I’m not getting any calls,” she
added laughing, “I can say
‘fine, I’ll become a dentist.’”
For now, Hayek will have to
be satisfied with fulfilling her
duties as Miss USA. She said
her favorite duty so far was a
trip to Lebanon with Bob
1 lope to entertain thelj
troops over Christmas.
“It was the best expert
I’ve ever had,” she said,

When her yearasMisil

LOS ANGELES — Singer
Michael Jackson and his doctor
Sunday viewed a videpe of the
pop star’s burn accident during
a filmed commercial and the
physician said he was surprised
the injuries were not more se
vere.
“Everyone was surprised that
his whole head and clothes did
not catch on fire,” Dr. Steve
Hoefflin said.
“He is very fortunate not to
have been burned more serious
ly,” he said.
The tapes were viewed by
Jackson and others at an undis
closed location late Saturday.
The tapes were made to set up
shooting angles for the high-
budget soft drink commercial
Jackson was filming Friday
when the accident occurred.
Jackson, 25, was taken to
Brotman Memorial Hospital but
was released Saturday against
the advice of Hoefflin.
Jackson suffered second-
degree burns and a small third-
degree burn on the back of his
head.
Hoefflin said the singer was
in “excellent health” and show
ing very rapid signs of recovery.
