The jury, which deliberated abdut six hours, cleared Nofzinger of a fourth illegal lobbying charge and acquitted his partner, Mark A. Bragg, of a single aiding and abet ting allegation. Nofzinger, the first former high government official convicted under the revolving-door provisions of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, attacked the statute as a “lousy law” and compared his offense with “run ning a stop sign.” “I feel I am innocent,” Nofzinger, whose lawyers vowed to appeal the convictions, said. “I don’t think I did anything wrong.” The former White House political director, who dates his association to the president back to Reagan’s days as governor of California, < ceive a maximum two-year seniH and a $10,000 fine for each ofnj convictions. But lawyers familiar with lU said it was unlikely the lormerji dential aide would begivenap term at his sentencing, whichwl for March 25 by U.S. DistncijJ Thomas A. Flannery. Nofziger was convicted ufapp ing to then-presidential cotit Edwin Meese Ill in an April8,1)1 memo for help getting Wtt Corp. a $32 million no-bid hi contract. FBI classifies public letter as top secret WASHINGTON — The FBI as signed a secret classification to material circulated publicly by a con servative group, and sent it to more than 30 field offices in an investiga tion of opponents of Reagan admin istration Central American policies, according to an FBI document and interviews. The conservative group aide who compiled the information said Thursday he found it somewhat hu morous that the material was classi fied, and became part of a major in vestigation. The aide, Mike Boos of the Young America’s Foundation of Reston, Va., said he sent the same material to about 500 conservative individuals and organizations in the Washington area. It was published it in a conser vative newsletter, the American Sen tinel. FBI spokesman Ray McElhaney said the material contained allega tions of criminal wrongdoing over which the FBI has criminal jurisdic tion, and the bureau was duty bound to check it out. Drug cartel launders cash, backs Contras WASHINGTON (AP) — A Co lombian drug cartel made $200 mil lion a month in profits in the United States, laundered the cash through Panamanian banks and spent some of the money to bankroll the U.S.- backed Contra rebels in Nicaragua, an imprisoned accountant testified Thursday. “I am a capitalist,” Cuban-born Ramond Milian Rodriguez said as he detailed the workings of a far-flung, intricately organized drug empire he said paid him $2 million to $3 mil lion a month for his ability to make the money appear to be of legitimate origin. Rodriguez also told a Senate For eign Relations subcommittee that his money-laundering operation had ties to both the CIA and the Contras fighting Nicaragua’s leftist Sandi- nista government.

In a ruling that runs counter to the Reagan administration drug testing plans, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said such test ing is not justified simply because a worker was on a train crew that got into an accident ut drove hi | fast. T he court said there niusiitl grounds for suspicion thatanil dividual worker was underibl fiuence of drugs or alcohol “Accidents, incidents or ruit- olations, by themselves, do m| create reasonable grounds f suspecting that tests willdei»| strate alcohol or drug ini ment in any one railroad cl ployee, much less an entireitit| crew,” Judge Thomas in the 2-1 decision.

Study shows relations of young, old WASHINGTON (AP) — A little excitement in infancy can lead to a sharper mind and clearer thinking in old age, according to a group of research ers studying the effects of aging on the brains of laboratory rats. Robert M. Sapolsky, a Stanford University researcher, said he and a group of Canadian scien tists found that giving just mini mal handling to infant rats im printed a hormonal response that eventually led to a smaller loss of learning ability and memory when the rats readied old age. He said the scientists conj ducted the experiment usingw groups of infant rats. Onegroulj was taken from theii cages awj placed in a Ixxl of wood snaviifl for a brief time. The other gwff was left in their cages and ifj ceived no handling. Later, the two groups wereji through a maze to test theira!> ity to dunk and learn. The tests showed that the ml that had received the adc stimulation were thinking akj learning faster. Boy saved from lake by pet retriever EVANSVILLE, Ind.
