Woodstone Center 764-3969 Grand jury names sheriff in drug case BEAUMONT (AP) — A federal grand jury Monday returned a 10- count indictment charging Orange County Sheriff James Wade with conspiracy to manufacture and dis tribute controlled substances, the Orange Leader reported in a copy right story. Wade, who was defeated in an April 12 Democratic runoff election for his second term as sheriff, also is accused of conspiracy to obstruct justice and embezzlement of sherifTs department funds, Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Naman said. The indictment followed a four- month investigation that began after the arrest late last year of a man now named as an unindicted co-conspira tor in the case. If convicted on all charges, Wade could face imprisonment of up to 20 years and a maximum $1 million fine, Naman said. Also named in the indictment was Niles Henry Baker of Vidor. Wade, 42, was named Jan. 29 in an affidavit filed by an FBI agent as the target of an investigation involving the sher iffs purported involvement in the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamines. 55 viola- of which The indictment listed tions of federal law, all named Wade. Among the acts named in the in dictment was Wade’s alleged attempt earlier this year to arrange the mur der of Donnie Flowers, who origi nally accused Wade of involvement in drug trafficking. Wade was expected to surrender to federal marshals, according to his attorney, John Hannah of Tyler.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — While criticizing federal bureaucracy, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Monday it was powerless to help a Dallas woman who lost $1,100 be cause of bad advice she got from the Social Security Administration. “This case is an example of how the government’s brain often fails to control the movement of its fingers,” the court said in an opinion written by Judge E. Grady Jolly. In May 1983, Marie B. Jones called the SSA’s Teleservice Center in suburban Grand Prairie to see whether she could begin receiving early retirement benefits and later use her former husband’s work re cords as a basis for higher benefits, the court said. Jones, who was 62 at the time she called for advice, was told that if she accepted benefits based on her own work record, she would be barred from receiving the larger, divorced- spouse benefits when she reached 65, the court said. “This information was incorrect,” the court said. Jones’ sister, Clarice Soven, made a similar telephone call and got the same erroneous advice, the court said. In October 1984, after she filed for benefits based on her husband’s work record, Jones was told she could have received $1,100 of early retiremeftt benefits, had she filed in 1983. The sisters began attempting to collect the $1,100 lost by Jones, ap pealing through the Social Security system, the courts and writing to their senator and to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Their efforts won a brief victory, soon reversed, the court said. The district manager for the SSA investi gated and found that employees had been giving out the wrong informa tion for at least two years. He wrote the Reconsideration Board in New York and requested that Jones’ application for benefits be back-dated to June 1983. “Winning over the district man ager was, alas, Jones’ one and only breakthrough in this bureaucratic botch,” Jolly wrote.
