Defendant predicts
quick ethics trial
United Press International
Rep. George Hansen, R-
Idaho, who faces trial Monday
on charges of failing to disclose
$333,978 in financial transac
tions, says his ordeal “could be
over before it starts.”
The maverick seven-term
congressman, who said he is not
nervous about the trial, is the
First public official to be tried for
violating the Ethics in Govern
ment Act.
If convicted, he could get a
maximum five years in prison
and $ 10,000 fine for each count.
The trial is expected to last up to
lid I
he
two weeks, but Hansen sai
thinks it may take half as long.
“It could be over before it
starts,” he said recently.
The ethics law requires con
gressmen and other high-
ranking government officials to
file annual reports disclosing
their income and other Financial
transactions.
But Hansen’s lawyers claim
the omissions from the ethics
disclosure statements are not a
willful violation of any law be
cause Congress did not intend to
use the statements for anything.
U.S. District Court Judge
Joyce Hens Green is expected to
rule shortly before the trial on
papers seeking the federal
grand jury testimony of a man
who tried to extort $440,000
from Texas silver billionaire
Nelson Bunker Hunt.
The Justice Department in
dicted Hansen last April 7,
charging him with failing to dis
close:
• A $61,503 personal loan
from Hunt in 1980 and three
other transactions.
• A $87,475 profit for himself
and his wife on purchase and
sale of silver futures contracts in
1979.
• A $50,000 personal loan in
Mrs. Hansen’s name from a Dal
las bank, guaranteed by Hunt,
also in 1979.
• Personal loans totalling
$135,000 in 1981 by individuals
in southern Virginia. He' said
the money was for the Associa
tion of Concerned Citizens that
promoted his book assailing the
Internal Revenue Service.

Arthur Emens III, an Okla

ing to tell the FBI of his claim
that Hunt bribed Hansen by
helping his wife, Connie, make a
profit in silver.
Egypt, Sudan invoke defense
pact after Libyans bomb town
United Press International
Emens got a suspended one-
year prison sentence and a
$2,000 fine. He was given im
munity from prosecution for
stealing more than $100,000
from commoditites accounts be
cause he cooperated with the
government, court papers said.
The judge has allowed Han
sen to use the blackmail attempt,
which he and Hunt reports to
the FBI, as evidence he is inno
cent of trying to conceal the sil
ver transaction.
CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt and
Sudan invoked a joint defense
pact Sunday and said their
forces had teamed up to defend
strategic positions inside Sudan
in the wake of a Libyan aerial
bombardment of Khartoum.
In Tripoli, the Libyan gov
ernment of Col. Moammar Kha-
dafy denied it was behind Fri
day’s bombing of a Khartoum
suburb and said the incident was
part of a U.S.-backed conspiracy
against Lib'/aa.
A bomber, identified by
Egypt and Sudan as a Soviet-
maclt
made TU-22 based in Libya,
dropped five bombs on the
Omdurman section of the
Sudanese capital, reportedly
killing five people and sharply
escalating tension with Libya.
The Sudanese government
said it was requesting an
emergency meeting if the U.N.
Security Council to consider the
Libyan “aggression” and that it
had lodged a complaint against
Libya with the Funis-based
Arab League.
Sudanese President Jaafar
Numeiry, in a speech to army
officers in Khartoum late Satur
day, said Egypt and Sudan had
put into effect a mutual defense
pact signed in 1976 after a Li
byan attempt to overthrow him.
“The common def ense forces
have already moved in to defend
strategic positions in Sudan,”
Numeiry said.
In Cairo, Egyptian Foreign
Minister Kama! Hassan Ali also
said the pact was in force and
Egypt was taking “military mea

Sherry Allman of Marshall en
ded in mistrials. She is charged
with murder and injury to a
child in the Nov. 9, 1982, slaying
of her 3-month-old daughter.
Sherry Lynn.
Allman’s trial was moved to
Denton after her attorney and
prosecutor agreed they would
be unable to find jurors in Harri
son County not influenced by
news coverage of previous
attempts to try the woman.
Prosecutors planned to call a
former cellmate of Allman to
testify about statements the
woman made concerning Sher
ry Lynn’s death. District Judge
Ben Z. Grant earlier tentatively
approved a state motion seeking
testimony from Janet Bailey, 21,
and said he would issue a final
ruling in Denton.
Bailey is serving a two-year
prison term for forgery.
Grant declared a mistrial
Nov. 14 before jury selection be
gan in Allman’s first trial in Jef
ferson, which is about 16 miles
north of Marshall. Potential
jurors in the case were irrepar
ably prejudiced against Allman
when she was brought into the
courtroom handcuffed, the
judge ruled.
A second mistrial was de
clared after Allman’s attorney
withdrew abruptly Feb. 1. James
Wedding said he faced an “in
surmountable and irreconcil
able” conflict when prosecutors
called as a witness Bailey, who he
previously defended on forgery
charges.
