(AP) — A neo-Nazi who allegedly vowed to “kill a fed eral judge a week” if arrested was brought under heavy guard before a federal magistrate Thursday on charges of heading the world’s larg est cocaine smuggling ring. Carlos Lehder Rivas, who was seized by Colombian troops in his jungle hideout Wednesday and flown here by U.S. Air Force jet, was ordered held for a formal hearing Monday in Jacksonville, where he is under a 6-year-old indictment on drug and conspiracy charges. Federal authorities refused to say where they would hold Lehder, a self-proclaimed Nazi, until Monday. He was escorted into court by four U.S. marshals and several other fed eral agents. •• Lehder, 37, called by prosecutors a violent, billionaire drug smuggler * who heads a private army and helps mm lead the “Medellin Cartel” smug gling group, asked for court-ap- pointed counsel because he had no ^ funds with him. “Most of my assets are frozen by tp the government in Colombia,” he ^ told U.S. Magistrate Elizabeth Jen- * kins. Lehder sat at the defense table in jeans, boots and a blue T-shirt in scribed “Cycling.” U.S. Attorney Robert Merkle pressed for Lehder’s immediate de tention, saying there had been death threats against a judge. “That’s a lie!” Lehder shouted in court. Merkle did not elaborate. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ernest Mueller in Jacksonville said Lehder has said if he was caught “he would kill a federal judge a week until he is freed.” Meanwhile, Leon Kellner, U.S. Attorney in Miami, hailed Lehder’s extradition, and called for Colombia to round up other top drug dealers: Jorge Ochoa Vasquez, Pablo Esco- bar-Gaviria and Jose Rodriguez Ga- cha. In a separate, sweeping Miami in dictment, Lehder and the other three accused traffickers are accused of heading a ring responsible for 80 percent of the cocaine smuggled into the United States. officials in furtherance of the con spiracy.

Most of the dead men were found in their apartments, although one who frequently dressed in women’s clothing was found on a bridge. In two cases, credit cards and videocas sette recorders were taken, and in two other cases, the victims were found stabbed to death in a burning apartment. In one recent unsolved case, Dale E. Staupe, 28, was found dead in his apartment on Nov. 13, 1986. Staupe was from Eau Claire, Wis., about 80 miles from Milwaukee. His body was nude, hands and feet bound, a gar- rote around his neck, and his car was found in a parking lot in Superior, Wis. Although suspects have been ar rested and charged in three of the killings and police do not believe the other five are linked, men in the gay community still refer to “the mur derer,” according to Tim Campbell, editor of the GLC Voice, a Twin Cit ies gay newspaper. Jimmy Tiggas, owner of Cloud 9 Express, a downtown Minneapolis bar frequented by homosexuals, says there has been a noticeable change in behavior among his gay customers in the wake of the killings. “It’s similar to the outbreak of AIDS where people have a sense of fear,” Tiggas said. “They have toned down their going home with strang ers. It’s unfortunate that a murder has to happen for them to do that.” Bouza, meanwhile, said the ap parent increase in homosexual kill ings is not just occurring in Minne apolis.

Robinson, a law professor at Rutgers University, said a newly drafted set of proposed guidelines gives such broad latitude to federal judges that it “violates both the in tent and the letter” of a 1984 law or dering a revamping of the sentenc ing system. In a dissent attached to the propo sals issued Thursday, Robinson of fered at least a dozen examples of what he said was unwarranted dis parity in sentencing, violating the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. Robinson also said the commis sion’s work is “haphazard and inter nally inconsistent” and reflects an unsystematic approach that has pro duced a flawed structure.” The commission’s chairman, 4th U.S. Circuit Court Judge William Wilkins acknowledged that the latest set of proposals “does provide more flexibility” in sentencing than an ear lier draft issued last year. But he said the proposals are “a major step on the way to rational and workable sentencing guidelines that will assist judges in imposing fair and certain sentences. “Presently, a judge has unbridled discretion in imposing a sentence.” ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (A?
