Westmoreland
‘gets what he
wants’ from CBS
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Retired Gen. Wil
liam C. Westmoreland ended his
$120 million libel suit against CBS
on Monday, but not before the 18-
week trial subjected the television
network to a public and sometimes
embarrassing inspection.
Although the defendants were
CBS and three of its employees —- t
correspondent Mike Wallace, pro
ducer George Crile and consultant
Sam Adams — Westmoreland was in
fact challenging the network’s docu
mentary, “The Uncounted Enemy:
A Vietnam Deception.”
The network was forced to yield
an internal study which found viola
tions of its own standards in the way
the program was produced. Crile
was suspended for a year when it
was revealed that he tape-recorded
conversations with some sources
without telling them.
The network also changed its poli
cies to require more involvement by
big-name correspondents who nar
rate documentaries, after Wallace
conceded he relied to a considerable
degree on the work of Crile and oth
ers.
“The Uncounted Enemy”
charged that to avoid undercutting
support for the war, Westmoreland,
who commanded U.S. forces in Viet
nam from 1964 to 1968, concealed
the fact that communist forces were
much stronger than leaders at home
believed.
Westmoreland denied that any in
formation was suppressed or even
that the earlier, lower estimates of
enemy strength were wrong. He said
CBS exaggerated an honest dis
agreement among intelligence ana
lysts, and falsely accused him of de
ceiving his superiors.
Ironically, the network’s exec
utives originally were skeptical of the
documentary’s value, but eventually
had to spend many times the pro
gram’s $350,000 cost to defend a
story that wasn’t even new.
saicf Dan Burt, Westmoreland’s at
torney.
“The general has wanted one
thing from the beginning of the ca
se,” Burt said. “He wanted his repu-
tna
tation back. He believes he has that
now.
Three months after the CBS doc
umentary was aired, a TV Guide ar
ticle charged it was a smear. This
prompted an investigation by CBS
executive Burton Benjamin, which
disclosed violations of CBS’s own
standards. Among his conclusions:
• “There was an imbalance in
presenting the two sides of the is
sue,” with insufficient time given to
Westmoreland’s side.
• The “conspiracy” alleged in the
broadcast “was not proved.”
• Sources who supported Adams
were not asked as many tough ques
tions as those who did not.
Though it acknowledged most of
Benjamin’s findings in a press re
lease, CBS withheld the text of the
report tor a year .
18 Mexicans seek
asylum after rally
Associated Press
EAGLE PASS — Eighteen Mexi
cans who fled a violent political dem
onstration remained in the United
States Monday seeking refuge out of
fear of police reprisal, authorities
said.
Most of the more than 100 people
who stampeded across the interna
tional bridge after Sunday’s violence
had returned home, but three asked
for political asylum in this country
and 15 sought temporary refuge,
said C.E. Cunningham, a supervisor
with the U.S. Immigration and Nat
uralization Service.
The stampede began after gun
shots left up to four people, includ
ing possibly three police officers, in
jured during a political rally in
Piedras Negras, Mexico, authorities
said.
David Carmichael, border patrol
agent in charge at Eagle Pass, said all
but 59 had returned home by late
Sunday.
Two of the aliens were detained
for questioning by immigration offi
cials about possible involvement in
shootings at Sunday’s rally, said
Cunningham. Another was given
permission to stay in Eagle Pass to
visit his wife, who was wounded at
the rtilly, Cunningham said.
Meanwhile, across the border at
Piedras Negras where the violence
occurred, tension was running high
Monday as hundreds of plain clothes
federal and state police officers
roamed the streets keeping gather
ings to a minimum.
About 2,000 demonstrators —
members or supporters of the oppo
sition National Action Party — had
gathered to protest what they claim
was voting fraud during the Dec. 2
mayoral elections, according to PAN
spokesman Jose Gabriel Espinoza.
Mexican state police reported
three people were wounded in the
violence, while Mexican municipal
police reported four injuries.
A U.S. immigration intelligence
official, who dedined to be named,
said American officials have been
able to confirm only one woman and
one police officer shot. The woman,
31-year-old San Juana Montes
Garza, was reported in stable condi
tion at the Maverick County Hospi
tal in Eagle Pass.
Espinoza, who earlier said dozens
of the Mexicans would demand po
litical asylum, was one of three or
four who formally asked for asylum,
Cunningham said.
The immigration intelligence
agent said an additional 15 Mexicans
had asked to remain in the United
States for tit least 30 days .
Polish official links
Solidarity with CIA
Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — The Inte
rior Ministry’s top investigator says
he has evidence linking people in the
outlawed Solidarity labor movement
with Western intelligence opera
tions, including the CIA, Polish
newspapers reported Monday.
They quoted Col. Zbigniew Pu-
dysz as saying some Solidarity mem
bers were being investigated for
treason.
Pudysz, director of the ministry’s
investigative office, accused Solidar
ity activists in Poland and abroad of
cooperating with the CIA, the pa
pers said.
He was quoted as saying docu
ments carried by Polish exile Jacek
Knapik when he returned home af
ter 10 years “show the ties of Solidar
ity abroad with the Temporary
Coordinating Commission (Solidar
ity underground leadership) in Po
land and ... Western intelligence
Pudysz identified Knapik as vice
president of the Union of Poles in
Austria and said the military pros
ecutor’s office is investigating the
Walesa ignored the warning and
urged supporters to join a 15-min
ute strike on Feb. 28 to protest gov
ernment plans to raise food prices.
He returned to work after a four-
week vacation and sick leave.

The settlement was announced to
U.S. District Judge Pierre N. Leval
on Monday, a few days before testi
mony was to have ended in the 18-
week trial.
Both sides believe “their respec
tive positions have been effectively
placed before the public for its con
sideration” and continuing the case
“would serve no further purpose,” a
joint statement dated Sunday said.
The statement said CBS “respects
General Westmoreland’s long and
faithful service to his country” and
never meant to imply that West
moreland “was unpatriotic or dis
loyal in performing his duties as he
saw them.”
“If that statement had been made
after the CBS program had been
aired, it would have fully satisfied
me,” Westmoreland said later.
“I got what I wanted,” he said. “I
consider that I’ve won by virtue of
that statement.”
Without the statement, “we would
be going back to court tomorrow,’

Solidarity office in Brussels, Bel
gium, on charges of “state treason.”
In Brussels, a statement issued by
the Solidarity Coordinating Office
accused Polish authorities of using
forged documents to try to discredit
Solidarity and said the organization
does not know who Knapik is.
In another development Monday,
a Warsaw human rights monitoring
group charged Communist authori
ties manipulated the trial of four se
cret police officers convicted in the
kidnap-murder of a pro-Solidarity
priest to cover up the involvement of
other Interior Ministry officials.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa,
who was warned by a state prosecu
tor that he faces up to five years in
prison if he continues his union ac
tivities, reported Monday to his job
as an electrician at Gdansk’s Lenin
Shipyard.
