Edwin Moses booked
after vice squad sweep
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Track star Ed
win Moses, an Olympic gold med
alist and Sports Illustrated’s athlete
of the year, Monday faced misde
meanor charges he propositioned a
prostitute and possessed a small
amount of marijuana.
Moses was one of 82 men arrested
Sunday during a Sunset Boulevard
vice squad sweep in Hollywood. He
was released after being booked on
the misdemeanor charge on his
promise he would appear at a Jan.
29 arraignment.
A citation, the equivalent of a traf
fic ticket, also was issued for mari
juana possession. The amount alleg
edly carried by Moses was “very
small,” police said.
Alan Dahle, a deputy city attor
ney, said detectives presented their
case to prosecutors and misdemea
nor charges would be filed today.
Neither Moses nor his agent, Gor
don Baskin, could be reached for
comment on the charges.
The misdemeanor count of solicit
ing an act of prostitution carries a
possible six-month jail sentence and
$500 fine.
Moses, married and recently
named co-winner of Sports Illjs-
trated’s Athlete of the Year award
with gymnast Mary Lou Retton, won
the gold medal in the 400 meter hur
dles in the 1976 and 1984 Olympics
and has not lost in seven years and
109 races.
He also is the holder of the world
record for the 400-nieter hurdles
with a time of 47.02, and was the
1983 winner of the Sullivan Award,
the equivalent of the Heisman tro
phy for amateur athletes.
Police said Moses, who lives in La
guna Hills, about 50 miles south of
Los Angeles, approached a female
undercover officer and offered her
money for sex.
“He was booked for soliciting an
act of prostitution and later released
on his own recognizance,” said Sgt.
David Young.
The female officer was part of a
so-called “trick task force” working
to deter prostitution in Hollywood,
Young said. Soliciting an act of pros
titution is a misdemeanor and t
ries a $500 fine and-or six mont}i!t|
jail.
“He had a small amount of n
juana on him," William Booths
“We did not book him fork.In
much, much less than an ounce."
His arrest surprised sprts|
who know Moses.
“I just heard it on the
Larry Ellis, coach of the Ameri
Olympic track team, said Monday;
really can’t react, because I
know all the facts.
“He has impeccable characters
he’s an outstanding young man h
shown tremendous leadershipal
and impressed people by nis i
meanor.”
Track and field promoter]
Franken called the arrest “a
prise” and said, “The guy's a I
percent example of the waytoct
duct yourself. It doesn’t maker
sense. It’s out of character.
“You can think of other peopH
rousing around — not him."
Louisiana Supreme Court
reverses blue law decision
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — The Loui
siana Supreme Court ruled 4-3
Monday the state’s controversial
Sunday blue law forces retail stores
to compete fairly and should remain
in effect.
The law also guarantees most
workers a day of rest as intended by
the Legislature, the court said.
The ruling reversed a district
court judge who had struck down
the Sunday closing law as unconsti
tutional, saying it was vague and dis
criminatory.
Attorneys had argued that even
experienced law enforcement offi
cials could not tell what merchandise
was legal to sell under the blue law.
But the Supreme Court said the
terms of the law can be deciphered
“with the help of a dictionary and
common sense.”
Three New Orleans-area depart
ment stores — K-mart, Gaylord’s
and Home Depot Inc. — contested
the law which forbids the Sunday
sale of clothing, building supplies,
furniture, home ^nd office appli
ances and new or used automobiles
or trucks.
The department stores argued it
is not fair to require them to close on
Sundays while drug and grocery
stores are allowed to open and sell
similar merchandise.
Confused Louisiana officials have
shut down stores and made arrests
on some Sundays but not on others,
attorneys said. Enforcement of the
blue law was abandoned in the New
Orleans area during the Christmas
ing season.
“The conscious exercise of some
selectivity in enforcement is not in it
self a federal constitutional viola
tion,” the Supreme Court said. “It
must l e shown that the selection was
deliberately based upon an unjusti
fiable standard such as race, religion
or other arbitrary classification.”
The century-old law, most re
cently revised in 1962, was meant to
inhibit unfair competition and pro
mote the welfare of state residents
by guaranteeing them Sundays off,
shoppi
the Supreme Court said.
“There is no indication thatii
statute purports to do anytl
other than provide a day of resdi
the state population employe
places of public business," thet
said.
The high court said the dividi
line for Sunday sales is whetheni
product is “necessary for thei
physical, intellectual or emo
subsistence of a human being 1
a contemporary lifestyle such as,[(
example, foodstuffs, medial*
newspapers or periodicals,
and restaurants; or the item iso
such a nature that it can be boughuj
a later date with no harm to i
physical, mental or emotional I
oeing of the individual, suchasf
niture and appliances.”
The cases were remanded toll
district court for further procet
ings.
The closing law has also
ruled unconstitutional by a fei
judge in New Orleans.
FBI arrests fake KGB agent
Uni It'd Press International
AUSTIN — The FBI said Mon
day it has arrested a man who
claimed to be a Soviet KGB agent
while collecting $46,000 from an
Austin lawyer whose son was aboard
an oil drilling ship that sank in the
South China Sea in 1983.
FBI agent-in-charge A1 Robinson
said Bratislav Lilic, 33, a Yugoslavian
national from Chicago, was arrested
Friday in San Antonio on charges of
interstate transportation of stolen
property.
Robinson said attorney Douglas
Pierce, 59, had already paid the sus
pect $46,000 and traveled across the
United States to negotiate with the
man who identified himself as a So
viet agent attached to the Soviet Em
bassy.
The suspect allegedly told Pierce
his son was in captivity in Vietnam
and would be returned to the United
States if enough money was paid.
Pierce’s son, John D. Pierce, 30,
was aboard the Glomar Java Sea
when it sank Oct. 25, 1983.
Robinson said an eight-page affi
davit file in U.S. District Court in
Austin alleged that Lilic, who has|
lengthy arrest record, told Pierce
was a Soviet agent and could
Pierce’s son.
“The father came to us, andi
crated with us in the investigatioul
Robinson said.
“He was to meet the man Fridi
night in San Antonio and payl
(an additional) $28,000 and
travel with him to meet his son."
The money was not paid andikl
man was arrested, Robinson said,
Mexico in for heated elections
United Press International
Mexico may be in for a long, hot summer in
1985 as congressional elections are scheduled
throughout the nation and seven states will select
new governors.
Congressional races do not usually arouse as
much interest in Mexico as mayoral and guberna
torial elections.
But every election this year may lead to inci
dents of violence, political observers said, because
of the public’s disenchantment with the economy
and the party in power.
In the border state of Coahuila, a dispute over
the outcome of the Dec. 3 mayoral elections re
sulted in two reported dead, 80 injured, closing of
the international bridge at Eagle Pass for about a
week during the Christmas holidays and contin
ued, isolated acts of vandalism.
The states of Sonora, Nuevo Leon, Campeche,
San Luis Potosi, Guanajuato, Colima and Quere-
taro will be electing governors in 1985. Congres
sional elections will be held throughout the nation.
The elections in Nuevo Leon, which borders on
Texas, and Sonora, across from Arizona, will be of
particular interest to Mexico watchers in the
United States.
Civic, political and religious leaders are worried
about the upcoming elections and are issuing pub
lic statements denouncing politically-motivated vi
olence.
President Miguel de la Madrid has called for
honesty in elections. In a report to the nation he
reiterated his pledge to continue a campaign of
“moral renovation.”
Chihuahua Gov. Oscar Ornelas Kuchle called a
news conference to warn all potential demonstra
tors there will be no repeat in his state of the vio
lence that has rocked Coahuila.
Ivan Garcia Solis, leader of the Unified Socialist
Party of Mexico, speaking in Mexico City, said the
only way to avoid violence is for the government to
respect election results.
David Orozco Romo, leader of the Mexican
Democratic Party, said the government can pre
vent violence by learning to “accept the democratic
game, with all its implications, including the loss^
political positions” by the dominant Revolutionan
Institutional Party (PRI), which has ruled Mexid
with an iron hand for the past 54 years.
The primary violence in Mexico, said a Ron®
Catholic auxiliary bishop in Mexico City, Genad
Alamilla Arteaga, is fraud “and electoral Irani
are the source of all other violence
Leaders of the conservative National Actim
Party (PAN) throughout Mexico have been tin

A similar situation occurred in Juarez, aero*
the border from El Paso. PAN state representati"
candidate Juan Saldana won the July 3, 1983elei
tion with 62 percent of the vote, but the electim
was nullified for alleged “irregularities.”
In December of 1984, the PRI-dominated
legislature ruled against Saldana and called for
new election. PAN members were indignant/
PAN mayor of Juarez announced he would g

who voted for Saldana, sign a protest petition

the required signatures.
PRI would have lost its two-thirds majority
the 14-member state legislature if Saldana hadl*
come the fifth PAN state representative to
election. It takes a two-thirds majority to passu*
jor legislation in Chihuahua.
