HIL
EL PASO — An officer once sta
tioned at Fort Bliss and disciplined
over “procurement irregularities” in
connection with a $9.3 million con
tract won his fight to stay in the
Army, it was reported Tuesday.
Lt. Col. Jerrold Schroeder, 44,
who once headed the Software Sys
tems Development Division at the
Air Defense Artillery School at Fort
Bliss, said he still faces a long strug
gle to clear his record.
Schroeder, a combat development
expert, had been active in attempt
ing to line up the contract because
the Army needed to buy the impor
tant computerized simulator before
a fiscal year deadline.
Originally charged with intent to
defraud the government by skirting
the competitive process, Schroeder
denied all wrongdoing.
A letter from the Military Person
nel Center in Alexandria, Va., in
forming Schroeder of the decision to
end elimination proceedings against
him, was sent to him in Germany last
Friday, said Col. Gary Sorenson,
public affairs officer at the center.
The elimination procedure, taken
under the Army’s “qualitative man
agement program” to weed out offi
cers who fail to meet ethical or pro
fessional standards, began after
Schroeder was disciplined in July,
1983.
Officials informed Schroeder by
telephone last Thursday of the deci
sion not to eliminate him, he said.
Originally, Schroeder charged
that he was the victim of “character
assassination” which resulted from a
sloppy investigation by the Army’s
Criminal Investigation Division.
Schroeder said the investigation
was prompted by revenge from a
confidential informant who made al
legations against him.

‘I see you’ve been messing around with the bell tower again. ’
What Schroeder described as an
“unbelievable ordeal” filled with
frustration began in 1982 when he
became aware of an investigation of
him by the Army. A month earlier, a
major who Schroeder had given a
substandard performance report al
leged that “contract irregularities”
had occurred in the procurement of
simulator equipment for an Army
missile system.
KKK leader asks for pardon
United Press International
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Ku Klux
Klan leader Don Black has asked
President Reagan to pardon his con
viction for violating the Neutrality
Act, saying the government’s refusal
to stop similar action in Nicaragua
reflects a double standard.
Black, 31, who is serving a three-
year sentence in a Big Spring federal
prison said his plans to overthrow
the government of the Caribbean is
land nation of Dominica was no dif
ferent than a north Alabama group’s
work in Nicaragua.
The Klan leader said he “ap
plauded” the Civilian Military Assi-
tance group’s efforts to aid the anti-
Sandanista rebels in Central Amer
ica, but believes the Reagan Admin
istration is unfair in its enforcement
of the Neutrality Act. “This adminis
tration has given its tacit approval to
private citizens getting involved in
attacks against the officially friendly
government of Nicaragua ... and
keeping me in prison while allowing
that sets up a double standard of jus
tice,” Black said.
“I’m against communism spread
ing over the Carribbean and Central
America. That’s the same thing our
effort was against. But you can’t help
but wonder why they can do it, and
when I was involved I was arrested
and put in jail.”
Black told the Birmingham Post
Herald that he telegraphed Reagan
Monday night to point out the “se
lective” enforcement of the act and
to ask for a presidential pardon.
“The president, being a fair man,
I would hope would rectify this in
justice,” Black said.
Black, the grand wizard of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and
nine companions were arrested by
FBI agents in 1981 as they boardeda
shrimping boat for Dominica. The
Klan leader, who has served almost
two years of his three-year sentence,
will oe eligible for parole in Novem
ber.
