HOUSTON (AP) — As might be
expected, journalism experts and
law enforcement officials voice vastly
different opinions about the Drug
Enforcement Administration’s prac
tice of planting false news stories as a
tool in the nation’s war on drugs.
Media experts generally argue

credibility of a free press and under
mines the trust journalists and the
public place in official information.
Will Norton, professor of journa
lism at the University of Mississippi,
minced no words: “I haven’t heard
of anything quite so insidious be
fore,” he said. “Government is sup
posed to be your friend. This doesn’t
sound too friendly.”
And Paul LaRocque, an assistant
journalism professor at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas,
asked, “How can the public trust
what they read in the paper, if the
paper has been converted to an arm
of government?”
Law enforcement officials, how
ever, said the practice is actually in
the public’s best interest because it is
so effective in combating interna
tional drug trafficking.
“I support any legal tactic or tech
nique to take the drugs off the
street,” Harris County Sheriff
Johnny Klevenhagen said.
He said that withholding informa
tion is a common police procedure,
and that it does not constitute lying
for officers to withhold the true ori
gin of drugs when discussing a
staged seizure.
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Police
Chief Joe Gerwens said that investi
gators walk a fine ethical line which,
if crossed, can damage the fragile-
credibility police enjoy with the
press.
“I wouldn’t put anybody in our
organization in the position of lying
directly to the media,” he said.

Steve Bertucefii, head of the

to confide in the media when a

“I think it’s part of the responsil

But he conceded that reporffi

Texas book dealer
detects forgeries
of 13 documents
HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas rare
book and document dealer says he
has uncovered forged and fab
ricated copies of 13 different Texas
documents, including more than 50
facsimiles located in museums, li
braries, university and private collec
tions.
W. Thomas Taylor of Austin said
the popularity of Texana and the in
crease in available cash during the
boom days of the 1970s and early
80s created an atmosphere ripe for
forgery.
Among the alleged phony docu
ments are copies of the Feb. 24, 1836
“Victory or Death” letter written by
William Barret Travis, appealing for
aid at the Alamo, and the declara
tion of independence from Mexico,
approved by rebellious Texas set
tlers in a convention at Washington-
on-the-Brazos in March 1836.
To rally support for the Texas
Revolution, Texan printers put out
hundreds of copies of Travis’ letter
and the Declaration of Indepen
dence in the form of broadsides, or
circulars.
The most lucrative documents
came from this romantic period of
Texas history, but only rare copies
still exist, he said.
“Virtually all the printing done in
Texas during that period took the
form of highly perishable broad
sides,” Taylor said, and only a hand
ful surrvived, generally in institutio
nal collections.
“How frustrating that must have
been for our bibliographic entrepre
neurs,” he told the Houston Chroni
cle. “They moved quickly to remedy
the imbalance by two simple expe
dients: theft and forgery.”
For several months, the Public In
tegrity Section of the Travis County
District Attorney’s Office has been
investigating whether criminal viola
tions occurred in the reproduction
and sale of the allegedly forged and
fabricated documents first cited last
year by Taylor.
Assistant District Attorney Steve
McCreely said the investigation is
nearing completion, and, if indicta
ble offenses appear to have oc
curred, prosecutors will present evi
dence to a grand jury.
About 1970, thieves systematically
stole documents from many impor
tant Texas collections, but for the
most part, these thefts were not pub
licly disclosed, he said.
If the thefts had been reported,
he said, the stolen items might have
been recovered and their copies rec- _
ognized when they appeared in I
market.
Until 1973, only two copiesofik
broadside relating Travis’ faiM
message from the Alamo were if
ported to exist, he said, but sim
then, 10 copies have surfaced,
number, which to any thinkingpti
son, is wholly implausible.”
“In the 1970s, I had sold
copies of the Declaration of
pendence and one copy of thelu
vis letter for a great deal of mone|,
he said.
“I would wince and worry
when I would see another copy
these documents, but I did not
out looking for trouble.”
Among the documents he has
termined to be fakes wasoneTafl
unwittingly sold to the Sanjacii
Museum of History in Houstt
seven years ago for $30,000. He
he refunded that money.
All told, Taylor said, hehasif
funded $58,000 for fake documei
he inadvertently sold.
“The Declaration of Indepfl
dence proved to be a kind ofRosH
Stone for the discovery of oil
forgeries,” he said. “I simply lool
