Lance under continued pressure to resign By W. DALE NELSON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - White House Budget Director Bert Lance is facing increasing pres sure to resign as federal inves tigators prepare to reveal a new report about alleged im proprieties in the use of money and an airplane owned by Lance’s Georgia bank. Lance, a long-time friend of President Carter, now is the subject of investigations that involve the Justice Department, the comptroller of the currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and by a House subcommittee and a Sen ate committee armed with sub poena powers. Comptroller of the Currency John G. Heimann planned today to reveal the findings of his investigation into allegations about Lance’s use of bank mon ey and aircraft owned by the National Bank of Georgia for SALE!

Last month, Heimann said his office’s investigation of Lance’s banking practices had. shown some questionable dealings, but no evidence of illegal conduct. But after key legislators were briefed on his new report on Tuesday, Rep. Fernand J. St. Germain, D-R.1., chairman of a House banking subcommittee looking into Lance’s finances, said Heimann had turned infor mation on Lance’s private use of the bank aircraft over to the Justice Department, the Feder al Elections Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The Los Angeles Times re ported in today’s editions that the comptroller’s report out lined “questionable loans and maneuvers” by Lance and his business associates in 1971 and 1973 to buy control of two Geor gia banks — the Bank of Ring gold and the Cohutta Banking Co. of Chatsworth, Ga. The newspaper quoted the re- port as saying Lance and his associates borrowed money from the Fulton National Bank of Atlanta and later picked that bank as a correspondent bank, placing funds from Lance’s Cal houn First National Bank in the Fulton bank at no interest. Despite White House denials of published reports that Lance’s hours as director of the White House Office of Manage ment and Budget are num bered, the burly Georgia banker clearly was losing ground Tuesday. Earlier, the White House had been adamant in its insistence that loanee would not resign. But Tuesday, when Carter briefly encountered reporters asking whether Lance would keep his job, the President did not take advantage of the op portunity to stick up for the budget director, replying: “We’ll see about that later.” Presidential Press Secretary Jody Powell said, “The Justice Department has to make its de liberations without prejudgment from the White House hanging over its head." Explosions rock D.C. By IRA ROSENFELD Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Two explosions, one on the grounds of the White House Ellipse and another at the downtown office of the Soviet airline Aeroflot, shattered the pre-dawn quiet in Washington today. A bomb planted at an alley entrance tore apart a wall in the Aeroflot building shortly after 2:30 a.m. Police said no one was injured. About 20 minutes later, an other explosion was heard. It took police more than an hour of intense searching to track it down to an area across the street and south of the White House. Following that explosion, a security guard patrolling the White House grounds said, “We heard it, but we don’t know where it is.” Sixty minutes later, following fruitless and frenzied searches of nearby office buildings, po lice found evidence of the ex plosion at a set of flower pots next to the Ellipse. Ten police cars — their head lights carving a path of light into the darkness — were sent sweeping across the Ellipse, looking for evidence. Police Inspector Raymond J. Remick said several news or ganizations received calls from an organization claiming re sponsibiliy for the blasts. He said police were investigating the possibility of involvement by a “Cuban group,” but he did not elaborate. As one explosion sounded, and then the other, security was heavy at the White House. The area was illuminated by security floodlights. A police helicopter hovered overhead. Security officers scurried into nearby government buildings, and police drove down alleys looking for a hint of the second explosion or the bombers. The damage was to concrete flower pots on a triangle near the Ellipse gathering area where sightseers begin their tours of the White House and where the national Christmas tree is placed each December. President Carter has played softball on the knoll. The six-story Aeroflot build ing, where police said damage was restricted to broken win dows, is five blocks from the White House.
