Store chain owner
arrested at airport
for fake death scam
Nationwide hunt ends at D-FW;
Hanson faces fraud charges
FORT WORTH (AP) — A former
clothing store chain owner who was
the subject of a nationwide hunt for
allegedly faking his own death in a
$1.5 million insurance scam was ar
rested Monday at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport.
, Melvin Hanson, a co-founder of
Just Sweats, an athletic clothing
stores based in Columbus, Ohio, was
apprehended by U.S. Customs Serv
ice officials at for allegedly carrying
a bogus passport, officials said.
He was arraigned Monday af
ternoon before district magistrate
Gene Grant and charged with theft
by fraud on an warrant from Ohio.
Hanson remained in the Tarrant
County Jail and bond was set at $5
million.
Columbus police detective James
Lanfear said he was told by federal
officials that Hanson was carrying a
passport with the name Wolfgang
Eugene von Snowde, or Snowden,
two aliases that Hanson had used.
Lanfear also said it is believed that
Hanson was returning from Aca
pulco, Mexico, where he went to see
a plastic surgeon.
“I am very, very pleased. At last
we can start to get the ball rolling,”
Lanfear said.
B. Hawkins, 25, have been wanted
by police in Columbus and Califor
nia since mid-1988, when it was dis
covered that Hanson was not dead
and Hawkins had disappeared.
Theft charges against Hanson
and Hawkins were filed Oct. 14 by
Farmers New World Life Insurance
Co. of Mercer Island, Wash., which
paid Hawkins $1 million in death
benefits. Hawkins was Hanson’s ben
eficiary.

Official: Revise AIDS testing law
AUSTIN (AP) — A 1987 law requiring con
sent for medical testing should be clarified to bet
ter protect confidentiality of people getting
AIDS tests, a state lawmaker said Monday.
Rep. Billy Clemons told the House Committee
on Public Health that rules issued by the Texas
Department of Health have required specific
consent for AIDS testing, possibly endangering
the privacy of people getting the test.
Clemons, vice chairman of the committee, has
proposed a bill saying the general consent form
would cover AIDS testing.
The committee agreed to further study of the
proposal.
“What my bill does is to reverse (the Health
Department’s rules) and say that the general con
sent form will do for any test the physician or
ders,” Clemons, D-Pollok, told the committee
during a public hearing.
The 1987 Communicable Disease Prevention
and Control Act provided for a general medical
testing consent form that would include, but not
specify, AIDS testing, Clemons said.
The general wording was meant in part to pro
tect the confidentiality of people being tested for
acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Clemons said his proposal would simply reiter
ate the wording of the 1987 law.
“The reasoning for this is not because the De
partment of Health acted out of bounds or any
thing,” Clemons said. “I just think (requiring spe
cific consent for an AIDS test) does just the
opposite of the intention of the law. It hurts the
confidentiality rather than helps it.”
Earl Matthews, representing the Texas Medi
cal Association and the Texas Infectious Diseases
Society, testified in favor of the bill, saying that
physicians need a blanket testing consent form to
protect them from liability.
Matthews said doctors need the form to show
that consent for testing was requested, in case a
patient who has refused an AIDS test later turns
up with the disease.
Matthews also said the law should be modified
so doctors could order tests for incapacitated or
unconscious patients w ithout oral or writteno:
sent.
Others who testified at the hearing opp®
Clemons’ bill, saying it would allow “secrei
ing, “over-testing” and would be unfair to;
tients who later have to pay for tests they did
want.
Glen Maxey, executive director of theLesh
Gay Political Caucus, said patients have a righ
i refuse the test.
I “(The bill) takes away the ability of having tt
sent, with someone discussing it with theirdi
tor. We need to tighten it back down,’’ Man
said.
Annette Lovoi, president of the Texas Ca
sumer Association, also opposed the bill.
“It is our contention that an individual,you
I, have every right to full information onli
scope of service that’s being recommended!
us, as well as the cost of that service,” Lovoi said
“We feel that (the bill) disguises the con*
that we are seeking, that any medical patiem
be an informed consumer,” she said.
FBI, Hispanic agents begin negotiations
EL PASO (AP) — Lawyers for the
FBI and for the 311 Hispanic agents
who successfully sued in a racial dis
crimination case met Monday to dis
cuss what the FBI will do to clean up
its act.
Neither side wanted to discuss
specifics of the talks, which plain
tiffs’ attorney Hugo Rodriguez lik
ened to union-management negotia
tions.
“All of the issues of liability are at
stake — how much each individual
class member will get, what institu
tional changes will be made, whether
retaliation will be compensated,”
plaintiffs’ co-counsel Tony Silva
said. “We’re in preliminary negotia
tions. We’re simply laying the
groundwork to negotiate.”
U.S. District Judge Lucius Bunton
ruled after a two-week, non-jury
trial last summer that the FBI dis
criminated against Hispanic agents
in promotions, assignments and dis
cipline. The class-action lawsuit was
brought by the FBI’s No. 2 man in
the El Paso office, Bernardo “Mat”
Perez, and 310 of the agency’s ap
proximately 400 agents joined in the
suit.
Bunton ordered the two sides to
meet in El Paso and talk all this week
if necessary to settle as many differ
ences as possible. He has scheduled a
damages trial starting Feb. 20 in
which he will hear testimony and
rule on whichever issues have not
settled out of court. Rodriguez and
Silva predicted the damages trial
could take two weeks more.
FBI attorneys declined comment,
but the agency filed court docu
ments two months ago in which it
proposed having each of the 311
plaintiffs fill out a long form to help
determine whether they should get
back pay and how much.
The FBI also proposed changing
its system of taking and monitoring
in-house discrimination complaints
by training counselors better and
placing the equal employment op
portunity office under the supervi
sion of one of the four executive as
sistant FBI directors.
Bunton ruled the FBI discrimi
nated against Hispanic agents by as
signing them too often to monitor
Spanish-language wiretaps that
could be monitored just as easily by
Spanish-speaking Anglo agents or
by clerks. The FBI proposed hiring
at least 30 Spanish-speaking linguists
ins and
certain goals for promotion ofH
panics,” said Rodriguez, who was-
FBI agent for more than a deo
before he quit to practice law
The FBI has not even addrei
Bunion’s ruling that the bureau
taliated against Perez by laundi
an illegal grand-jury investigation
him, Rodriguez said.
Hiring linguists to monitor
taps is a step in the right direct!

agents bonuses for improving for

But Rodriguez labeled the propo
sals “cosmetic and prophylactic”
measures to assuage Bunton and
said they didn’t go far enough.
“We believe the FBI should have
Silva said. But he added that
should receive a bonus each tit
they use their foreign-langiu
skills. Under the FBI’s prop
agents would receive bonuses ei
time they upgraded their fluency
an agent entering the FBI at
highest level of fluency would no
receive a bonus.
Silva said he believes the daraai
portion of the case will go to trial
