WASHINGTON (AP) — Neither
(football star Napoleon McCallum
r basketball standout David Rob
ison received preferential treat-
lent in their assignments after
aduating from the U.S. Naval Aca-
temy, the General Accounting Of-
e said Thursday.
McCallum played for the Los An
tes Raiders in the 1986 NFL sea-
fion after being assigned to a ship in
Long Beach, Calif.
And, Robinson, who graduated
from the academy last May, will be
r ble to play professional basket-
in two years after getting three
years knocked off his active duty re
quirement.
Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H.,
asked for the report amidst allega
tions that McCallum and Robinson
were given special treatment because
of their athletic prowess.
But the GAO determined that
since Naval officers generally are as
signed where they want to go, the
Navy made no special exception in
granting McCallum’s request to go to
Long Beach.
“Officers entering the service al
most always receive an assignment to
the coast of their choice, and almost
90 percent receive their choice of
homeport,” the GAO said. “Navy of
ficials told us that similar accommo
dations are routinely made for other
personnel.”
Robinson told the GAO that Na
val officials said he needed a special
waiver to be commissioned, and
could remain at the academy with
out being assigned to active duty if
he requested the waiver not be
sought.
Confusion arose when doctors
asked for the waiver on the basis of
their physical examination of Robin
son.

tor an agreement in from 48 to 72
hours. Berthelsen, in fact, compared
it to the negotiations that brought
the 57-day strike in 1982 to an end.
The latest round of negotiations
began Tuesday at Upshaw’s house in
nearby Great Falls and moved
Thursday to a hotel along a strip of
shopping malls, hotels, car dealer
ships and fastfood restaurants about
12 miles south of Washington.
The talks began after the player
reps indicatedthat they were backing
off their demand for free- agency,
which had been the major impedi
ment to free agency, passing a reso
lution stating that they would let no
one issue stand in the way of an
agreement.
Since then, both player reps and
union officials have suggested that it
might be possible to end the walkout
in time to get regulars on the field
Sunday in place of the irregular
strike replacements who played their
first games last weekend.
Management, both publicly and
privately, has said the opposite in the
unstated but obvious hope that more
players would return to their teams,
leading to a snowball effect that
could end the strike. A total of 130
players of the 1,585 under union ju
risdiction have so far returned. Of
those who have defied the strike, 25
are listed either as injured reserve or
physically unable to perform.
