WASHINGTON — Louis O.
Giuffrida announced his resignation
Wednesday as director of the na
tion’s disaster relief agency, just as a
House panel was set to vote on a re
port accusing him of mismanage
ment.
Robert Mahaffey, spokesman for
the Federal Emergency Manage
ment Agency, said that Giuffrida’s
resignation was unrelated to the
draft report.
Mahaffey said Giuffrida will leave
Sept. 1.
The report will be considered for
approval Thursday by the House
Science and Technology Committee.
It has already been approved by the
committee’s investigations subcom
mittee.
The report found mismanage
ment by Giuffrida and other FEMA
officials in several areas, including
travel on government expense by
Giuffrida’s wife.
Some of the allegations involved
Fred J. Villella, FEMA’s former No.
3 official who resigned last August,
two days after some of the accusa
tions surfaced in a subcommittee
hearing.
Both Giuffrida and Villella have
consistently denied to Congress that
they were guilty of wrongdoing.
Villella, asked to comment on the
draft report, said he tried to give the
investigations subcommittee his writ
ten testimony about the practices un
der investigation, but they declined
the information.
The report suggests that the Jus
tice Department pursue a number of
its findings and “review the entire
hearing record for possible perjury.”
White: Justice
Department
playing politics
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The U.S. Justice De
partment is trying to “chill” voter
turnout in the 1 st Congressional Dis
trict by taking Texas to court for fail
ing to get approval of the special
election date, Gov. Mark White
charged Wednesday.
The election pits Democrat Jim
Chapman against Republican Edd
Hargett, a former Texas A&M foot
ball player.
White said Hargett was trying to
hide his party loyalty and cam
paigning as an Aggie.
“He’s running as an Aggie, and I
don’t blame him,” White said. “Ag
gies are more popular than Republi
cans.”
White accused Justice Depart
ment officials of playing political
games, saying they hope to raise
doubts about the balloting and keep
Democxats home in a district no Re
publican has carried in a century.
The election is being held to fill the
seat of Rep. Sam Hall, a Democrat
who resigned to become a federal
judge. _
Asked about White’s charges, Jus
tice Department civil rights division
spokesman John V. Wilson in Wash
ington Would say only, “I won’t re
spond until I see it in writing.”

Chance arrest of men
linked to drug probe
Associated Press
PONTIAC, Ill. — What appeared
to be the chance arrest of two alleged
drug couriers on a rural highway ac
tually was an effort to keep a large
supply of marijuana and heroin out
of Chicago without jeopardizing a
two-year federal investigation.
The men in the truck — stopped
Feb. 14 while carrying drugs to Chi
cago -— were among more than 100
people arrested Tuesday in a major
drug crackdown.
Livingston County State’s Attor
ney Donald Bernardi said Wednes
day that authorities concocted a
story to make it appear that the
truck was stopped for speeding and
that the drugs were found by acci
dent when federal agents actually
had been tracking the load of drugs
across the country, he said.
Bernardi said he was called to
State Police headquarters at Pontiac
after the stop, and the situation was
explained to him.
Police impounded the truck, and
the men, who didn't realize police
knew about the drugs, were re
leased.
Bernardi said authorities then got
a lucky break — a telephone call
from an attorney in Chicago asking
about two men arrested for drug
possession. That was before any
drug charges had been filed.
Bernardi said that gave him a way
to explain finding the drugs without
revealing the federal investigation.
Police found 813 pounds of mari
juana and more than 30 grams of
heroin worth about $500,000, he
said.
Ubaldo Esparza Corral of El Paso,
Texas, and Lino Arrendondo Celio
of Carpenteria, Calif., were charged
with the unlawful possession of mar
ijuana and heroin and with posses
sion of the drugs with the intent to
deliver.

DAINGERFIELD — The presi
dent of the Daingerfield National
Bank has resigned after relin-
; quishing counterfeit money he took
as collateral on loans, the bank’s
chairman says.
Buck Florence, majority stock-
S holder and board chairman, said
John Scott Jr., 33, president for the
past 18 months, quit July 18 after
NO CONTEST
presenting the bank’s executive com
mittee with a duffle bag full of bogus
bills.
“Mr. Scott had made loans, taking
bogus money as collateral,” Florence
said.
The bank executive committee,
Florence said, discovered “consider
able inconsistencies” with two loans
involving a mother and son, whom
Florence declined to identify.

Florence said the situation came
to light last week when he noticed a
construction loan had been made to
a company that had gone out of
business.
Florence said he confronted Scott
when he returned from vacation,
and Scott told him he had a large
amount of cash he was holding as
collateral.
Florence said he told Scott to
bring the money to the bank the
next day, and the executive commit
tee found it was counterfeit.
Florence said that no other coun
terfeit funds were found and that
• there was no indication that Scott
had an accomplice at the bank.
Scott could not be reached at his
home for comment Wednesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay An
gelo of Tyler declined to comment
on the case.
