Contractor cuts
Pentagon bill
by $23 million
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — General Dy
namics, criticized for charging coun
try club costs and dog kennel bills to
the Pentagon, told Congress on
Monday it is reducing its bills to the
government by $23 million.
But the nation’s biggest defense
contractor came under more fire
from congressmen.
The latest criticism involves alle
gations that General Dynamics was
involved in a conflict of interest by
hiring an assistant secretary of the
Navy and that the company over
looked warnings that its Electric
Boat division was performing poorly
in building Navy submarines.
General Dynamics Chairman Da
vid Lewis denied to the House Com
merce Investigations subcommittee
that the firm was involved in conflict
of interest and said it had tried to
improve the Electric Boat yard.
However, Lewis acknowledged
that the company’s oversight of its
billing practices was sloppy and “left
much to be desired.”
So, Lewis said, General Dynamics
is voluntarily withdrawing $23 mil
lion of the $170 million in overhead
claims it submitted to the Pentagon
from 1979 to 1982.
Three weeks ago, Defense Secre
tary Caspar Weinberger suspended
overhead payments of $40 million to
General Dynamics for 30 days until
the Pentagon could investigate bil
ling practices.
Weinberger’s suspension was de
nounced Monday by subcommittee
Democrats as more show than sub
stance.
Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the
chaii man, said Weinberger had sent
only a single auditor to review Gen
eral Dynamics in the wake of the sus
pension.
Rep. Gerry Sikorski, D-Minn.,
noted that while Weinberger with
held some payments, he permitted
other payments to go ahead “even
though there is dear evidence of
gouging and mismanagement
there.”
The Pentagon, asked for reaction
to the Democrats’ charges, had not
issued any statement by midafter-
noon.
‘Amadeus' sweeps
Academy Awards
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — “Amadeus,” a
fictional account of Mozart’s tor
mented final years, dominated the
Academy Awards Monday with
eight Oscars, including best picture
and best actor for F. Murray Abra
ham, as the jealous, second-rate
composer Salieri. Sally Field was
named best actress for her role as a
gritty farm widow in “Places in the
Heart.”
Haing S. Ngor, a Cambodian ref
ugee making nis acting debut as an
American reporter’s assistant in
“The Killing Fields,” and the veteran
Dame Peggy Ashcroft, as the enig
matic English visitor in “A Passage to
India," were named best supporting
performers at the 57th Academy
Awards.
The Czech-born Milos Forman
won as best director for “Amadeus,”
and the film also won awards foi
makeup, sound, tlrt direction, cos
tume design and best adaptation by
playwright Peter Shaffer.
Abraham, a 45-year-old veteran
of TV commercials and off-Broad-
way theater won in his first starring
film role, playing opposite fellow
nominee Tom Hulce as Mozart.
“There’s only one thing that’s
missing for me tonight and that is to
have Tom Hulce standing by my
side,” Abraham said in accepting the
honor.
Field, who won previously as best
actress for 1979’s “Norma Rae,”
thanked writer-director Robert Ben
ton: “Oh Benton, what you did for
me. You changed my life, truly. This
means so much for me this time.”
This year’s Oscarcast was slicker
and faster-paced than last year’s,
when the show dragged on a stupe
fying 3 hours, 45 minutes and
plunged in the ratings. The em
phasis was on lavish production
numbers and short acceptances
speeches. It ended just after mid
night.
Angry mob demands
access to deposits
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — More than
2,000 customers of the dosed Home
State Savings Bank jammed a college
fieldhouse Sunday, demanding ac
cess to their frozen deposits.
The crowd jeered the mention of
Gov. Richard Celeste for his hand
ling of Ohio’s savings and loans cri
sis, in which 69 institutions were or
dered shut after Home State’s
closing on March 8, and cheered
loudly when speakers demanded
their money.
Home State offices have remained
closed while other privately insured,
state-chartered savings and loan in
stitutions across Ohio have reopened
for limited withdrawals.
“We do not want to be further vic
timized by our government and
banking officials by having to settle
for less than 100 percent of our
money,” said Lisa Neidich, an orga
nizer who helped provide petitions
and lists of state representatives.
Joanne Schreiner, an attorney in
volved in efforts to find a buyer for
Home State, told the crowd at Xa
vier University that the state was to
get responses from some prospective
buyers Monday. She also said offi
cials are trying to find a way to unf
reeze Home State accounts.
