‘ Aquino and the man once called his

Prosecutors said the charges

‘ reason Fabian C. Ver and two other top
inesses generals close to President Ferdi-
entski nand E. Marcos would lead to a “free
Bid open” trial to show there is no
we v e r cover-up in the killing of Marcos’
isk 1^! chief rival on Aug. 21,1983.
expe^JI Most of the accused were part of

j n e (j. signed to protect Aquino, who was

■at brought him back to the Phil-
system • Ipines after three years in self-exile,
tors art■ Seventeen officers and soldiers
re good led by Aviation Security Chief Brig,
compr ^ < n - Luther Custodio were accused
bvi of directly conspiring to kill Aquino
'mpamcl
and Rolando Caiman — the man
previously alleged to be his killer.
The charges carry a possible death
penalty.
Ver and seven others were ac
cused of being accessories in cover-
up attempts. Among them is Maj.
Gen. Prospero Olivas who con
ducted a military investigation that
concluded Caiman was the killer.
Each count carries a possible 20-year
sentence.
Businessman Hermilo Gosuico
was accused as an accomplice, which
carries a possible life term. Caiman’s
children testified Gosuico was
among the men who took their fa
ther away three days before the as
sassination.
Technically, all 26 suspects were
charged with double murder. But
death penalties are only possible in
the charges against Custodio and the
16 others accused of being principals
in the murder.
Marcos initially indicated he sup
ported the military’s claim that
Aquino was killed by Caiman, hut
later appointed a five-member fact-
finding board whose 10-month in
vestigation led to the charges against
the military men.
Ombudsman Justice Bernardo
Fernandez, who filed the charges,
said he was aware that many people
would have liked to see Marcos him
self accused.
“I don’t care whether or not the
decision is popular as long as I am
right,” he said.
Aquino’s brother, Agapito, who
has accused Marcos of plotting the
assassination, said “what is missing is
the mastermind.”
The prosecutors said the most
likely triggerman was either Sgt. Ro-
gelio Moreno or Filomeno Miranda,
both of whom have been charged as
conspirators.

Legislator: keep farm programs

theirkj WASHINGTON — House Agri-
Bilture Chairman Kika de la Garza
.^Bid Wednesday he will light the
1 ! Reagan administration to keep cur-
here rj rcn( f arm programs intact.
0 r '"H Secretary of Agriculture John
B! >ek has said the administration
hoped to move toward more “mar
ket-oriented” programs in an at
tempt to begin weaning the industry
from government-backed support
prices and loan programs.
“I would put a hold on for a year
or 18 months and see where we are,”
said de la Garza, D-Texas, in an in
terview. “This is not the time for a
radical philosophical changeover.”
De la Garza said farm programs
have already been cut $20 billion in
four years, but probably face addi
tional cuts this year because the pub
lic, and consequently the Congress,
doesn’t recognize the serious plight
of the fanner.
USAF still
searching
for plane
Associated Press
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras
— Searchers scanning Caribbean
waters where a U.S. Air Force
plane carrying 21 Americans
went down said they made sonar
contact Wednesday with what
may be the C-130A’s wreckage.
Search parties on a beach
north of Puerto Castillo found a
sleeping bag, aircrew helmet
bags, helmets and an unused life
raft with the serial number of the
missing aircraft, the U.S. Defense
Department said in a statement
released in Washington.
The C-130A went down in
stormy weather off Honduras’
east coast Tuesday.
Robert Callahan, press attache
at the U.S. Embassy in Teguci
galpa, said the 21 aboard were
live crew members and 16 pas
sengers.
“The USS McCloy, a U.S. Navy
frigate, made a sonar contact
which will be investigated to de
termine if it is the missing air
craft,” the Pentagon said. A De
fense Department spokesman, Lt.
Col. Gene Sands, said it was un
clear whether the plane crashed
or ditched deliberately.
The embassy spokesman said
the plane was assigned to the
440lh Tactical Airlift Wing, an
Air Force reserve unit based at
Billy Mitchell Field in Milwaukee.
The U.S. military officials said
the aircraft was on a “routine air-
lift mission” from Howard AFB,
Panama, headquarters of the U.S.
Southern Command.
