Two guilty
of bribery
jn Maryland
WASHINGTON (UPI) -For
mer Sen. Daniel B. Brewster, a
Maryland millionaire, and lob
byist Cyrus T. Anderson were
convicted Friday on bribery
charges by a federal court jury.
Brewster, a Democrat who
was defeated for re-election in
1968 after serving one term.
The all-black, female jury
deliberated for more than seven
hours over two days before
returning the guilty verdicts.
Although indicted in January,
1970 on major bribery charges,
Brewster, 48, was convicted on
three counts of accepting an
“unlawful gratuity,” a lesser
charge.
Anderson, who worked as a
lobbyist for Spiegel, Inc., the
Chicago-based mail order
house, was convicted on the full
bribery charge.
The company also pleaded
guilty to two counts of the
unlawful gratuity charge
following the jury’s verdict and
was fined $20,000 by U.S.
District Court judge George L.
Hart Jr.
Brewster was specifically
charged with accepting $14,500
from Anderson in three pay
ments during 1967 to influence
his vote on postal legislation.
Brewster was a member of the
Senate Post Office and Civil
Service Committee.
During the trial, Brewster
admitted receiving $9,500 from
Anderson but claimed it was a
political contribution which was
then placed into a "D.C.
Committee for Maryland Edu
cation.” The prosecution al
leged that the committee was
set up as a “dummy”
organization merely to funnel
the bribe money.
Hart released both men on
their personal recognizance
pending a pre-sentence hearing.
The tall, silver-haired Brews
ter, who faces a possible total
sentence of six years imprison
ment and $30,000 in fines, told
reporters, “I’ve got a hell of a
lot I’d like to say, but I’m
advised not to.” He added that
“this is not the end of the fight.”

CHICAGO —Prof. Vasile Posteuca, 60, an exiled Romanian
poet, is visited by his wife (r-photo) in Chicago’s Columbus
Hospital. He is resolved to live long enough, despite stomach
cancer, to see his daughter, Doina Vircol, (shown at left in
Prof wants to see daughter
before cancer takes his life
By ANNE KEEGAN ARONSON
CHICAGO (UPI) -Professor
Vasile Posteuca made his own
funeral arrangements, wrote
his own epitaph and now waits
for one thing before dying of
cancer—to see his daughter
Doina.
But Doina is in Bucharest and
says she cannot get a passport
to come to his deathbed.
Her father, whom doctors
give less than a week to live, is a
staunch anti-Communist who
has been exiled from his native
Romania since 1941.
In a transatlantic telephone
call two days ago, “Doina cried
her eyes out to her brother, she
couldn’t even talk,” said Dr.
Alexander Ronnett, Posteuca’s
physician, lifelong friend and
himself a Romanian exile.
His Dying Wish
“Why don’t they let her
come? What are the reasons...is
it because he is so opposed to
communism?” Ronnett asked.
“It’s his dying wish.
“If Doina is unable to come in
the next few days, there’ll be no
point in coming. He is not
expected to live more than a
week.”
Posteuca, a professor of
languages at Mankato State
College, has been a poet since
his student days at the
University of Cernauei.
Since the 1950’s Posteuca has
published “Drum” (in transla
tion “The Road”), a Romanian
language quarterly which is
banned in Romania because of
its anti-Communist position.
“He is a very well known poet
among Romanians around the
world,” Ronnett said.
In 1941 Ronnett and Posteuca
fled Romania together. Posteu
ca left behind not only his
beloved country but his wife,
Doina, then 3 years old, and a
son, Doru, 9 months.
Lived in Solitary Exile
He led the life of a prisoner, at
Buchenwald until 1944, and in
solitary exile for more than half
his life. After living alone in
Austria, Germany, Canada and
then the United States, he
finally was reunited with his
wife in 1968.
Two years after she came to
the United States, his son, Doru,
was allowed to follow.
He has seen Doina only for
several months since he left her
Ammo mixup
said possible
By RAFAEL BERMUDEZ
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)
—Gov. Edwin Edwards said
Friday the shots that killed two
black youths and wounded
another at Southern University
could possibly and accidentally
have come from shotguns used
by sheriffs deputies to fire
teargas at a crowd of students.
He also said the buckshot-like
pellets taken from the bodies of
the dead may have come from
“a homemade type device that
either had buckshot in it or
glued to it.”
But he added that the
students, who took over the
university’s administration
building Thursday and were
recent file photo with her son, Alexander). His daughter told
hospital officials that Romania would not permit her to leave.
Posteuca left Romania during World War n. He is a
Professor at Mankato (Minn.) State College. (UPI)
31 years ago. He would like to
see her now before he dies.
“He knew he was going to die
and he planned to have the last
edition of the magazine dedicat
ed to the United States...to pay
homage to the country that gave
him a home. But he is only half
done, we’ll finish it for him,”
Ronnett said.
“He is a very stoic man. He
faces death with great courage.
The last line from one of his
poems about Romania will be
on his cross. In English it goes:
“Pass this word from home to
home, from person to person,
from generation to generation.
That I loved you till I died and
never had a greater love.”
chased out by the police,
reportedly had access to
several types of weapons
although none were found after
the shooting.
“I don’t know where the shot
came from and I do not know
whether it was deliberate or
accidental,” he said in a news
conference late Friday. “It is
obvious there are discrepancies
and questions.”
Edwards, who toured the
damaged administration build
ing and viewed films of the
incident, ordered the state
attorney general to investigate
the incident. The Justice
Department asked the FBI to
determine whether any federal
law was violated in the takeover
of the building and the removal
of the students by police.
One of the dead youths was
identified as Denver A. Smith,
20, of New Roads, La. The other
was not identified despite a
check of his fingerprints.
Earlier in the day Edwards
denied that police officers fired
the shots that killed the youths.
Later at the news conference
at which he announced the
youths had been fatally wound
ed by pellets the size and weight
of No. 3 and No. 4 buckshot,
Edwards said the deadly pellets
might have come from several
sources.

Chicken firm
used funds
of employes
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (UPI) —
The discovery that more than
$17,000 in employes’ credit uni
on savings was used to keep
the J. D. Jewell Inc. plant op
erating apparently led to the
closing of the poultry process
ing business.
The Gainesville firm, which
declared bankruptcy last month
had remained open until Thurs
day under a bankruptcy trus
tee, Robert Hicks of Atlanta.
Hicks said he felt sure the
employes could get their money
back because the credit union
comes under federal regulation.
However, he termed the situa
tion “most critical,” although
he didn’t think any theft was
involved.
Some 700-800 employes were
forced out of work when the
company closed. Another 160
growers who supplied the plant
with chickens and a byprod
ucts plant at Pendergrass also
were expected to be affected.
The Jewell company, which
had branched out into related
fields, pioneered poultry pro
cessing in Georgia in 1941. It
was founded by Jessie D.
Jewell.
FOUR INJURED
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) —
Fire aboard a Frontier Airlines
727 jetliner at McCarran
Airport Friday forced the
evacuation of some 55 passen
gers who were shuttled through
emergency slides at the board
ing gate.
Airline officials said the blaze
aboard the Denver-bound plane
broke out in the auxiliary power
unit, used to start the engines,
at the rear of the aircraft.
Four of the passengers
suffered minor injuries from
sliding down the shutes and
were taken to a hospital for
examination.

CBS faces
picketing
Tuesday
NEW YORK (UPI) —Four
Columbia Broadcasting Co.
(CBS) programs, including “All
in the Family,” stopped produc
tion Friday as a result of a
technicans strike. The actor’s
union ordered its members to
observe picket lines beginning
Tuesday evening.
The American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists
(AFTRA), representing actors
and newscasters, set the
Tuesday deadline after its
members voted to honor the
picket lines of the striking
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (IBEW).
Producers of “All in the
Family,” television’s top-rated
program, “Maude,” “The Bill
Cosby Show" and “The Carol
Burnett Show” stopped produc
tion Friday. A network spokes
man said enough programs
have been taped in advance to
continue these series “well into
December.”
Last week, Carroll O’Connor,
who plays Archie Bunker on
“All in the Family,” refused to
work when he asked pickets on
the IBEW line if he could help
their cause by staying out.
