I COPENHAGEN, Denmark —
Bombs tore open a U.S. airline office
nLnd damaged a synagogue, and Jew
ish nursing home Monday in Copen-
Biagen, a European capital tiiat had
â– previously escaped the recent ter-
Mrorist wave. Other suspected bombs
f|were found before they could ex-
; plode.
I Twenty-seven people were in-
â– ured, at least three seriously, au
thorities said. Three Americans
â– were among those suffering minor
â– injuries, the U.S. Embassy reported.
| Police later announced they had
â– taken six foreigners into custody for
i the bombings, but

In Beirut, Lebanon, an anony
mous telephone caller told The As
sociated Press the attacks were car
ried out by the Shiite Moslem
terrorist organization Islamic Jihad
to avenge an Israeli raid on a south
ern Lebanese village Sunday. The
claim could not be otherwise veri
fied.
One bomb gutted the quarters of
Northwest Orient Airlines near Co
penhagen's Tivoli amusement park.
Northwest Orient is the only Ameri
can airline with offices in the Dan
ish capital.
Another attack, which some
bystanders said involved two bombs,
damaged the Copenhagen Syna
gogue and an adjacent Jewish home
for the elderly, the Meyers Minne
Nursing Home, on a narrow street
near Copenhagen’s 17th-century
Round Tower.
Both attacks came within minutes
of each other in mid-morning, as
shoppers crowded nearby streets.

WASHINGTON — The Justice
Department, continuing a legal bat
tle with Texas Democratic Gov.
Mark White, asked a federal court
Monday to order the state to seek
“within five days” U.S. approval for
a special congressional election.
Assistant Attorney General Wil
liam Bradford Reynolds, who heads
the civil rights division, maintained
that the failure of the state to get
federal clearance for the scheduled
Aug. 3 special election violates Sec
tion 5 of the Voting Rights Act of
1965.
On Monday, the Justice Depart
ment asked a U.S. District Court iu
San Antonio to issue a temporary re
straining order requiring submission
of the plan for the election to fill
Texas’ 1st Congressional District
seat vacated May 27 by Rep. Sam B.
Hall, a Democrat who resigned to
become a federal judge.
This followed the department’s
tiling last Friday of a civil suit against
White and Secretary of State Myra
A. McDaniel, seeking a court order
to require Texas to submit the elec
tion plan for review.
The civil suit filed earlier said that
The Justice Department (
maintained that the |j|jj|i
ure of the state to
era! clearance
A ug. 3 special
fates Section 5
mg Rights Act.
the Voting Rights Act requires pre
clearance of the special election
schedule to insure that the schedule
does not discriminate against mi
nority voters.
White and McDaniel have taken
the position that no advance appro
val from the Justice Department is
necessary under the Voting Rights
Act.
The department’s request Mon
day also contained a motion for a
preliminary injunction to force sub
mission of the plan. But the Justice
Department also said that it did not
intend to seek postponement or
cancellation of the Aug. 3 runoff
election between Republican Edd
Hargett and Democrat Jim Chap
man “at this time.”

Tuesday July 23, 1985/The Battalion/Paqe 5
by Jeff MacNelly Impeachment
hearings begin
for Alaska gov.
Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska — The Alaska
Legislature opened a historic hear
ing Monday into whether Gov. Bill
Sheffield should be impeached for
allegedly steering a lucrative state
lease to a political crony and lying to
a grand jury. The governor said he
was looking forward to telling his
side.
“The governor, very readily, is
going to testify” later this week be
fore the Senate Rules Committee,
said Bob Miller, a Sheffield spokes
man.
The political drama, which began
July 2 with the release of a grand
jliry inquiry into the way a $9.1 mil
lion state office lease was negotiated,
is being carried live on television
from the state’s biggest cities to Es
kimo villages.
It is the first impeachment pro
ceeding in the state’s 26-year history.
Both sides hired a battery of law
yers, including several who played
roles in the Watergate investigation
and impeachment proceedings that
led to the resignation of President
Nixon in 1974.
Hearings before the Senate Rules
Committee are expected to last from
three weeks to a month. The com
mittee has five members, but all 20
senators are taking part and are f ree
to question witnesses and examine
evidence — as are members of Shef
field’s legal team.
Legislative leaders called a special
impeachment session after the
grand jury recommended that they
consider removing the first-term
Democrat from of fice. The 15-mem
ber panel said the millionaire hotel
owner “is unfit to fulfill the inherent
duties of public of f ice.”
The grand jury returned no in
dictments but criticized Sheffield for
his testimony, saying it “reflects a
hick of candor and a disrespect for
the laws of this state,” a characteriza
tion Shef f ield has denied.
George Frampton, who guided
the grand jury through its deliber
ations, said he told the panel in clos
ing remarks he felt Sheffield had
committed perjury during his testi
mony, adding “the lying to you is
really worse, more serious than the
initial substantive offense.”
The panel was investigating
whether Shef field and John Shively,
his former chief of staff, manipu
lated lease requirements so only one
company could f ulfill a state contract
to provide 32,000 square feet of of
fice space in Fairbanks.
That company, McBirney and As
sociates, won the non-competitive,
10-year lease in February. One of
the partners in the company, labor
leader Lenny Arsenault of
Fairbanks, raised about $92,000 for
Sheffield during his $2 million 1982
gubernatorial campaign, the grand
jury said.
Sheffield, 57, has defended the
lease, contending it was designed to
save the state money. It was voided
earlier this month on the recommen-
dation of former state Attorney Gen.
Norman Gorsuch, who said it was
“tainted by political favoritism.”

Harald Ruetz, a Northwest Orient
manager, said one employee and
two customers were in the office at
the time of the explosion, which ap
peared to have been set off outside
its plate-glass windows.
"Otherwise, she would have died,”
he said of the employee, who es
caped with minor injuries. Ruetz
said he did not know how badly in
jured the customers were.
An employee of the nursing home
said about seven of its residents had
been injured, none seriously. The
other victims apparently were pass
ers-by at the two sites.
Police said about half the injured
were Danes and half foreigners.
Hargett, a former professional
football player, and Chapman, a for
mer Hopkins County district attor- (
ney, were the top two finishers in a
June 29 special election for the seat
vacated by Hall. No Republican has
been elected to Congress from the
district in over a century.
The request said the Supreme
Court as recently as last February
had reaf firmed previous rulings that
changes in an election schedule and
in a candidate qualification period
require preclearance under the Vot
ing Rights Act.
The department said that White’s
establishment of schedule for the
special election had resulted in a
shortened candidate qualification
period ending on May 29, selection
of June 29 for the first special elec
tion, and selection of Aug. 3 for the
runoff.
“Although the attorney general of
the United States has 60 days to re
view a complete submission of a vot
ing change under Section 5, the at
torney general would be prepared
expeditiously to review Texas’ sub
mission of the foregoing voting
changes in light of the upcoming
runoff election on Aug. 3,” the de
partment said.
