SEC officer Funky Winkerbean
resigns amid
controversy
by Tom Batiui
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — John Fed-
ders, the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s top law enforcement
officer, resigned Tuesday amid rev
elations that he has beaten his wife
during their 18-year marriage.
In a letter to SEC Chairman John
Shad, Fedders said his “private diffi
culties” have not affected the way he
ran the agency’s enforcement divi
sion. But he said he was quitting be
cause “the glare of publicity on my
private life threatens to undermine
the effectiveness of the division and
of the commission.”
Charlotte Fedders, asked about
her husband’s resignation, said in a
brief telephone interview, “The en
tire situation is very bad.” She said
she did not want to talk further
about the matter.

verely and repeatedly beating her,
but Fedders said the beatings —
while regrettable — were overblown
by newspaper accounts.
“On seven occasions during more
than 18 years of marriage, marital
disputes between us resulted in vio
lence for which I feel and have ex
pressed great remorse,” Fedders
wrote Shad.
“These isolated events do not,
however, justify the extreme charac
terizations made in the press,” he
said. A copy of Fedders’ letter was
released by the SEC.
Earlier Tuesday, chief White
House spokesman Larry Speakes
had said that President Reagan
would take no immediate action
against Fedders while the Fedders’
divorce case was pending.
The divorce proceeding was post
poned for three months on Monday
after Fedders, 43, said he hoped for
a reconcilation with his estranged
wife, Charlotte, 41. Mrs. Fedders
shook her head in silence when her
husband told Montgomery County,
Md., Circuit Court Judge James
McAuliffe that he still hoped
patch up their 18-year marriage.

MEXICO CITY — Despite U S.
allegations of official corruption, the
Mexican government says that it is
waging an effective war against drug
traffickers and that 315 soldiers
have been killed as a result of anti-
drug operations.
The comments came after judicial
police in Tijuana on Monday an
nounced the arrests of four men,
three of them former police officials,
in connection with the Feb. 7 kid
napping of Enrique Camarena Sala
zar, 37, a Drug Enforcement Ad
ministration agent.
Camarena was abducted by four
gunmen within sight of the IT.S.
Consulate in Guadalajara, regarded
as a major drug trafficking center in
Mexico. Authorities say they have no
information about whether Cama
rena is dead or alive, despite a
$50,000 reward offered by the U.S.
governmerit.
Arrested in Tijuana was Tomas
Morlett Borquez, a former member
of the Federal Security Police. DFA
chief Frances Mullen Jr. character
ized Morlett as the mastermind be
hind the Camarena kidnapping.
Detained with Morlett were Enri
que Gonzalez Aguilar, a former lieu
tenant colonel in Mexico City's tran
sit police, and Eduardo Ramirez
Ortiz, a former federal security offi
cer. All three were taken Monday to
Guadalajara for questioning, police
said.
A fourth man, Marciano Bdaus:
guigoitia, was picked upinGikili
jara on Monday, allegedly for pib
ing a plane used by reputed doij
baron Rafael Caro Quintero toi|
out of Guadalajara.
On Monday night, National ft
fense Secretary Juan ArevaloGanl)
qui, an army general, releasedst»
tics he said shows Mexico is actwl
engaged in the drug war.
The U.S. House Foreign Afk
Committee issued a report Monib
in which it noted “every narcotiot
vestigation has been compronK
due to advanced warning by Mti
can government officials involved
the drug raids.”
Report claims Nicaragua's
arms build-up is defensive
to
Fedders’ lawyer, Nathan Lewin,
told The Associated Press on Tues
day that although the 6-foot-10 SEC
official acknowledged in his testi
mony that he had seven violent alter
cations with his wife during the
course of their marriage, “he
strongly contests that he was a wife
beater.”
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A report on Central America’s
military balance, co-authored by a former CIA analyst,
concludes Nicaragua’s leftist government has bolstered
its armed forces to defend against a feared U.S. attack,
not to invade neighboring countries.
“The truth is that the only Central American nation
in danger of an invasion by regular forces is Nicara
gua,” said the 28-page report released Tuesday by a
private group that has been critical of President Rea
gan’s Latin American policies. “The only nation likely
to do that is the United States.
“Nicaragua believes that the most important deter
rent it possesses against that threat is a level of modern
armament sufficient to inflict severe casualties on an at
tacking U.S. force.”
T he Reagan administration has charged repeatedly
that Nicaragua’s military build-up, supported by the
Soviet Union and its allies, is a threat to other Central
American countries and indirectly to U.S. national se
curity.
The report, challenging that assumption, was written
by former CIA analyst David MacMichael and Cols
Danby and Franz Schneiderman, two researchers la
the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, which releasdik
study.
MacMichael was an analyst under contract to ik
CIA from 1981 to 1983 and left after disputingU.S.
legations that Nicaragua's Sandinista governmentk
shipping large stocks of weapons to leitist guerrillasis
El Salvador. MacMichael, who went public with hisdk
pute in June 1984, claimed that evidence of a signit
cant weapons flow “just disappeared” after the spnoi
of 1981.
Administration officials, however, insisted that tk
evidence of Nicaraguan complicity was convincing^
Secretary of State George P. Shultz said MacMidiat
“must be living in some other world.”
Asked about the new report Tuesday, a State Dt
partment official, who insisted on anonymity, said (hi;
even if Nicaragua does not invade neighboring cour,
tries, its build-up allows the leftist regime tobacksuk
version and to “effectively blackmail” weaker countrie
into making concessions.
