WASHINGTON (AP) —
The sexual misconduct
case against Sgt. Maj. of the
Army Gene McKinney
moved within a step of tri
al Wednesday when a re
viewing officer concurred
with a recommendation
that McKinney be court-
martialed.
Col. Owen Powell sent
his report to Maj. Gen.
Robert Foley, who will
make the final decision on
whether McKinney should
stand trial.
Six women have alleged
that McKinney made im
proper sexual advances to
ward them.
All six testified at a Fort
McNair hearing to deter
mine if there was sufficient
evidence to order a court-
martial.
McKinney, the Army’s
top enlisted soldier, has
denied all the allega
tions.
Powell, commander of
the Fort iMyer Military
Community, ordered the
hearing and appointed
Col. Robert Jarvis to pre
side. The proceeding lasted
eight weeks, one of the
longest such hearings in
Army history.
Jarvis recommended
that McKinney be court-
martialed on 22 counts,
including indecent as
sault, adultery and ob
struction of justice, and
sent his report to Powell
for review.
The Army has refused
to say what either Jarvis or
Powell recommended. But
sources close to the case,
speaking on condition of
anonymity, confirmed that
both officers recommend
ed the matter go to trial.
The brief Army an
nouncement said that
Foley could dismiss the
charges, order nonjudi
cial action, return the
case to Powell for dispo
sition or order a general
court-martial.
Charles Gittins, McKin
ney’s civilian lawyer, has
said that if a court-martial
is ordered he will file a mo
tion detailing cases in
which general officers ac
cused of the same activity
alleged against McKinney
were not threatened with
prosecution. He said the
officers were allowed to re
tire with full benefits.
Earlier this week, Gittins
filed a motion denouncing
the Jarvis report as “flimsy , e wj es;
and superficial.” ude toeac
He said that Jams 2 .
1/2-page report had no It j sh
critical analysis of the evi- , . '
dence or explanation of ne in ? e
what circumstances r3'"'« ach
quired the testimony of 56 ^ , 01

The defense also said ^ or tw
the Jarvis report included :lenc ^ n 8 (
no discussion “of evidence ^ n 8 s

plaining witnesses.’’ kinds

Clinton accuses trade partners
of unfair practices toward U.S.
of StUl

aphisticat
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Clinton administration today ac
cused South Korea, Japan, Canada,
the European Union and Australia
of unfair trade practices, starting a
process that could eventually lead
to economic sanctions.
The charge against South Korea
came despite llth-hour negotia
tions held over the past several
days in which the South Koreans
sought to keep from being singled
out under a provision of U.S. trade
law known as Super 301.
That provision allows the presi
dent to launch investigations of un
fair trade practices against coun
tries and to impose punitive tariffs
if negotiations
to remove the
barriers are
not successful.
U.S. Trade
Representa
tive Charlene
Barshefsky
announced
that such a
case was be
ing brought
against Korea
because negotiations between the
two countries had failed to resolve
all of the U.S. complaints.
“Korea was not prepared to under
take the reforms that are necessary for
Clinton
real opening of their auto market,
Barshefsky said in a statement.
She said despite South Korea!
commitments in 1995, salesoffor
eign cars make up less that 1 per
cent of the Korean market.
The U.S. auto industry hat
urged that both South Korea am
Japan be cited as part of the
ministration's annual Super 3(1
review, a process by which it tar
gets countries deemed to havi
erected the most harmful barrier
against American products.
Instead, it cited Japan, Canada
the 15-nation European Uniot
and Australia for other alleged
fair practices.
Computer mogul headed to court
AUSTIN (AP) — Computer
company founder Michael Dell is
headed to court over the property
tax appraisal on his new, 33,000-
square-foot house.
The Travis Central Appraisal
District says the house, located on
60 acres of prime land west of
Austin, was worth $22.5 million on
Jan. 1. The tax bill would be about
$600,000.
Dell and his wife, Susan, say the

between $5.5 million and $6.5 mi
lion. That tax bill would be abou
$160,000, the Austin American
Statesman reported Wednesday.
Dell Computer is Austin’s sec
ond-largest private employei
Dell’s stock in the company isval
ued at more than $5.8 billion.
“I can assure you Mr. Dell want
to pay his fair share of whateve
property taxes are owed,” said Pet:
Winstead, the Dells’ lawyer."
just because he’s Michael I
doesn’t mean he should paymon
than the market value of
house.”
A key issue is whether |
house should be appraised ot
what it cost to build or its fair mat
ket value — what it would sell for
Another point of contention i
how much of the house was com
pleted on Jan. 1, 1997. The Dell
say 57 percent; the district says8i
percent.
According to an initial appraisa
hearing, the three-story, granite
stainless steel and limestonf
house will include eight bedrooms
— including servants’ quarters-
eight bathrooms and 13 half baths
a conference room, a commercial
grade kitchen, an exercise room
tennis courts and an indoor lap
pool.
The Dells’ house is more thai
twice the size of the next larges
house in the county and is easib
the most expensive ever built in
the area, the American-Statesmah
reported.
In their lawsuit, the Dells say
the district arbitrarily placed 3
“fundamentally wrong value" on
their property far in excess of fail
market value.
Art Cory, chief appraiser for thn
district, acknowledges that the ap
praisal might not be accurate. Ap
praisers haven’t been allowed on
the property, he told the newspaper
“We’ve made every reasonable
attempt to get on the property, and
we’re still getting denied,” Cop
said. “I understand Mr. Dell’s con
cern about security. But at the
same time, it’s difficult to appraise
a piece of property without bein?
able to look at it.”
The Dells’ lawyer said they were
making arrangements to let coun
ty appraisers onto the propertyin
the next week.
The average single-famil)
home in Travis County is valuedai
$124,433, with an average annuel
property tax bill of $3,100.
