Richards ’ politics come under attack
Retired Army colonel establishes
veterans anti-flag burning group go
AUSTIN (AP) — The ground
force commander in the aborted
1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt
fired a political shot Wednesday at
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Ann Richards while announcing the
formation of a veterans group
against burning the United States
flag.
Retired Army Col. Charlie Beck
with of Austin said Veterans for a
Constitutional Flag Amendment
only has six or seven members, but
added, “I suspect it’s going to grow
after today.”
Noting that Thursday is Flag Day,
Beckwith opened a news conference
by having everyone stand to pledge
allegiance to a U.S. flag held by an
other veteran, Joe Lopez of Austin.
“We’ve tried the other courses of
action to push something through
and the Supreme Court has ruled
that it won’t wash, so we’re at the
point now where we’ve got to amend
the Constitution,” Beckwith said.
“I cry when they bring this flag
down at 5 o’clock in the afternoon,”
he said. “I feel very strongly about
this flag. I almost gave my life for
this flag. ... If they want to burn the
callous attitude” that “brings dis

Beckwith said Richards, who ear
lier this week decried flag burning
but declined to say whether she
would support a constitutional ban,
had displayed an “insensitive and
have answered this nation’s call and
worn the uniform in its defense.”
“We did not risk our lives to bring
home the nation’s flag so that Ann

could use it as kindling for their lib
eral fire,” Beckwith said.

Ex-banker gets fraud conviction
Judge sets J 2-year sentence
AUSTIN (AP) — An ex-banker convicted of fraud
has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a federal
judge who compared his case with that of crack cocaine
dealers and said, “You are a shark.”
Richard Homer Taylor, 42, former president of the
now-defunct National Bank of Texas, received the
toughest prison sentence given an Austin-area bank
president since the wave of investigations into financial
institutions began here two years ago.
Taylor, who headed the Austin bank from January
1984 to January 1985, was placed in handcuffs and leg
shackles immediately after U.S. District Judge James
Nowlin announced his punishment Tuesday.
“This morning, I sentenced several people for selling
crack cocaine,” Nowlin told Taylor. “Most of them did
not finish high school or even junior high. One of them
had been introduced to marijuana as a child by his
mother. These were people who, in a way, never had a
chance.
“Then there are people like you and me who had ex
cellent opportunities and education. I don’t think you
are a minnow, Mr. Taylor. I think you are a shark,”
Nowlin said.
In addition to the 12-year prison term, Nowlin or
dered Tayldr to pay fines totaling more than $500,000
and to make restitution of more than $240,000 to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and other victims of
his crimes.
Taylor, who frequently removed his glasses and
wiped his eyes during Nowlin’s remarks, had pleaded
guilty to charges of bank and income tax fraud.
He admitted that after National Bank of Texas made
a $20,000 loan to one of his friends and business part
ners, he then accepted a $15,000 kickback from the
partner.
Taylor acknowledged that he overstated losses of one
of his businesses on his income tax form, and he ad
mitted that he had not reported to the Internal Reve
nue Service revenue he made from several part
nerships.
He also pleaded guilty to a third allegation that he
obtained a $250,000 loan from CreditBanc Savings of
Austin to buy restaurant equipment. Prosecutors said
Taylor did not purchase restaurant equipment and pre
sented false invoices to CreditBanc.
An Austin lawyer, Russell C. Busby, who served as a
collections lawyer for National Bank of Texas, pleaded
guilty to two misdemeanor charges in connection with
the allegations against Taylor.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Blankinship said
Busby aided Taylor in a fraud scheme by allowing his
name to be used in a loan application.
Busby was sentenced to 60 days in jail and was given
two years’ probation. He also was ordered to complete
200 hours of community service and pay about
$100,000 in restitution.
Blankinship, who led the prosecution, said Taylor’s
12-year punishment is the harshest prison sentence
given to an Austin-area bank president since Ruben
Johnson, former chairman of United Bank, was sen
tenced to eight years in April 1989.
Johnson was convicted of defrauding United Bank
by accepting illegal payments from building contrac
tors. Johnson also was ordered by Nowlin to pay $4.5
million in restitution.

Washington institution under suspicion
Post: Bush officials use
seed money for bank
Investigations continue
for police misconduct
Officers accused of,abuse, thej\
HOUSTON (AP) — Two former
political operatives for President
Bush used seed money from a Loui
siana organized crime figure who
was instrumental in the failure of at
least 12 savings loans and opened a
small bank three blocks from the
White House, the Houston Post re
ported in a copyright story.
The newspaper identified the two
men as Stefan Halper and Harvey D.
McLean Jr. and said the bank was
Palmer National Bank.
Halper had ties to the nation’s in
telligence community and McLean
had a long association with Herman
K. Beebe Sr., who had a long associa
tion with a key organized crime fig
ure, the newspaper reported.
The Post reported Sunday that al
though they had no banking experi
ence, they set out to create a special
kind of bank in the nation’s capital.
Although Palmer National re
mains solvent and has not been the
target of any known criminal investi
gations, its history provides direct
evidence of a connection between
organized crime and the intelligence
community in the operation of a fed
erally insured financial institution.
The Houston newspaper has re
ported since February on evidence
pointing to a possible link between
organized crime and the CIA in the
failure of 25 financial institutions,
whose demise could eventually cost
taxpayers $75 billion.
The newspaper has learned that
the bank was listed on a 1985 report
by the Comptroller of the Currency
as one of 12 national banks under
the possible influence or control of
Beebe.
The newspaper’s investigation
also revealed:
• Palmer National lent money to
individuals and organizations that
were involved in covert aid to the Ni
caraguan Contra rebels.
• Money was channeled through
Palmer National to a Swiss bank ac
count used by White House aide Oli
ver North to provide military assis
tance to the Contras.
• Palmer National co-founder
Stefan Halper helped set up North’s
legal defense fund. Halper’s name
appears in the final entry of North’s
White House journal under the
heading “Legal Defense Fund.”
• Palmer National held a
$250,000 note on a California beach
house that was used by organized
crime associates and figured in the
criminal convictions of two S&L fig
ures.
• Palmer National, a relatively
small bank with assets under $100
million, occupies a modern building
at 1667 K St. N.W.
Halper and McLean are no longer
involved with the bank. Webb C.
Hayes IV, Palmer’s chief executive
officer since its founding, said Mc
Lean has not owned stock in the
bank for four years and that Halper
left the bank before McLean did.
Hayes said he did not know who
Beebe is and had never heard his
name mentioned in connection with
the bank.
SAN Awromo (AP) —Three
police misconduct investigations are
being conducted of officers accused
of robbery and sexual abuse.
The alleged incidents are not
linked and the investigations are be
