Jart, in the first of at least ■visits to Indiana before the J’s May 8 primary, took a le-hour detour between in Missouri and Ohio, campaigned for voters in |steelmaking region along the shores of Lake Michigan, the nation’s largest-volume steel-producing district. “I have not voted for every thing that the AFL-CIO wants,” Hart said, conceding his differ ences with labor’s national lead ership, which has endorsed Walter Mondale. “In some cases, I did not think it was in the best interests of this coun try.” But, trying to make inroads into Mondale’s natural support in the heavily industrialized northwestern portion of the state, Hart outlined his alterna tives to union-backed domestic auto content and steel import quota legislation. “No area of the country has been so victimized by the failure of past economic policies as this area,” Hart said. “The old poli cies of bailout and handout and band-aids will not put the steel industry back on its feet.” During a three-hour swing through Gary and East Chi cago, Hart told workers and steel executives that immediate action to halt illegal steel im ports combined with his legis lative proposals and a program to rebuild the nation’s roads and bridges “would do more to stimulate steel production in this country than anything else we can do.” Hart called for labor and management to jointly fund job retraining programs for laid-off steelworkers and said he would seek changes in tax laws de signed to encourage steel com panies to modernize their plants to compete more effecti vely in the world market. “This country must have a steel industry,” he said. “We cannot have an old steel indus- ivestigations say colonel defrauded IS.

The general stopped tTe contract days before it was to be let, agents involved in the investiga tion said. The investigators said they amassed information that Sch- roeder: — engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Government. — violated conflict of interest provisions of the U.S. Code. — violated Army regulations by making unauthorized statements regarding the award of a contract. — was derelict in his duties as an Army officer. Schroeder’s case was re viewed at several levels from the U.S. department of Justice to the Army Inspector General. The colonel reviewing the case did not recommend a court martial because he believed Schroeder did not personally gain from his actions. The re viewer ruled Schroeder appar ently believed he was acting in the best interests of the Army. The investigation began Sept. 8, 1982 and was com pleted April 5, 1984. The docu ments from agents conducting the investigation filled 15 vol umes, with the final report tak ing another two volumes. According to the CID agents, the case revolved around a com puter to be used in conjunction with the AN-TSQ-73 Com mand and Control System, dubbed the “Missile Minder.” The system, which the agents said was designed originally by Litton Industries for use with the Hawk missile, is intended to enable a commander to control up to 48 individual missile fir ing units. Schroeder, who worked in the Directorate of Combat De velopment, was involved in the development of computer software, one of the agents said. The officer believed it was possible to develop a system that could use a computer to simulate a Russian aircraft at tack. The computer could be used to test the Missile Minder without actually having to fire missies. Such a system, Sch roeder believed, could save the taxpayers money. One of the investigating agents said the problem devel oped when Schroeder, de scribed as a “genius” and “bril liant at what he does,” decided to “circumvent the procure ment system that we had in the military. And that’s what this whole thing is all about.” United Press International H1LADELPHIA — A 90- -okl woman was found bat- id and strangled in her bed nursing home where five ler elderly women were totryoul! killed, a medical ex it Six plaw |er testified Tuesday at the decioed > °? ^ ie accused killer, rip Thalli distant Philadelphia Medi- - - “xaminer Paul Hoyer, in the full day of testimony at the of Anthony Joyner, 21, a en worker at the Kearsley |ine, said Eugenia Borda was no playeri# m S led antl suffocated.” on the iJpyet said an examination aled bruises on top of Bor- head, scrapes on her nose I face, tears on her upper lip (inside her mouth and inter- injuries. loyer said he also found Ida had “sexual intercourse ibly immediately before the eof her death.” believe she was a virgin up the time she was as ked,” he testified, oyner has been charged with rder, rape and burglary in deaths of six women —- ages to 92 — at the Kearsley me between January and y 1983.

We have to have modern plants and modern equipment and the best-trained workers in the “world.” The Colorado senator said he does not support a union-fa vored bill to combat illegal steel dumping by foreign producers by rolling back imports into the United States. He said that would spark retaliation aimed at U.S. exporters. The problem of low-priced, government sub sidized steel can be beaten with out new legislation, by trigger ing tariffs already available under existing law, he said. “It is my intention to stop that illegal dumping and to set up conditions where foreign producers cannot illegally com pete,” he said. “We have the existing laws to be able to do that. The president is just un willing to use them.” Hart also claimed that a pro posal to require that auto mobiles sold in the United States be built with a certain percentage of domestically pro duced parts would backfire if enacted, drawing foreign retai- liation against U.S. exports of aircraft, farm implements and agricultural products. “This country cannot become protectionist,” he said. “It must become more competitive. Do mestic content (legislation) rep resents economic surrender.” Cary Mayor Richard Hatcher, a key figure in candi date Jesse Jackson’s national campaign organization, greeted Hart at an airport welcoming ceremony but departed before the senator received endorse ments from more than 30 local and county politicians.
