OF' 0 Page 2-Friday, February 6, 1981-The Michigan Daily Garwood guilty of collaboration CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) - A five-man miilitary jury yesterday convicted Marine Pfc. Robert Garwood of collaborating with the enemy despite defense pleas that his 14 years as a prisoner of war drove him insane and turned him into a "white Vietnamese." The court-martial was the first jury tr ial of a Vietnam-era POW. The jury found the 34-year-old Garwood innocent on a charge of maltreating a fellow POW, but convicted him on a lesser charge of assaulting the POW. All the jurors are Vietnam veterans. GARWOOD'S LAWYERS never disputed the collaboration charge. They argued the Marine, who wfas a 19-year-old jeep driver when he was captured near Da Nang, was driven insane by his communist cAptors. The military judge, Col. Robert Switzer, told jurors they would have to be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt of Garwood's sanity to convict him. Sentencing will be determined by the same jury af- ter more hearings. The collaboration verdict carries a possible maximum sentence of life in prison and forfeiture of $147,000 in pay accrued during Gar- wood's captivity. The assault conviction carries a possible sentence of six months in prison. The verdict came during the jury's second day of deliberations and after they examined copies of testimony given by some of the government's most damaging witnesses. GARWOOD, AN INDIANA native who returned voluntarily to the United States in late 1979, stood in his Marine dress-greens and looked straight ahead as the verdict was read, seemingly impassive as he had been during the 12-week-long trial. As he sat down, however, he seemed to be blinking back tears. His companion of 18 months, Donna Long, a widow in whose house Garwood resides, wept openly, but made no comment. The chief prosecutor said he would have no com- ment on the verdict. Jurors also had no comment. THE DEFENSE TEAM, headed by John Lowe, ap- peared shocked as they left the court with Garwood, and later Lowe said Garwood "is disappointed, but beyond that he has nothing to say, and he is free to come and go." Garwood is a mail clerk at Camp Lejeune. Last year, Garwood told a reporter he could take the worst that might happen to him, saying, "An American prison is better than a Vietnamese prison."

Pentagon proposes defense budget hike WASHINGTON (AP)-The Pen- tagon's new civilian leadership has prepared a tentative proposal for a huge jump of about $23.6 billion over the Carter administration's defense budget recommendation for next year. This would bring the fiscal 1982 defense budget to about $220 billion, speeding a U.S. military buildup that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger contends is essential "to re-arm America'" in the face of steady Soviet armed growth. AT THE SAME time, administration sources said yesterday, Weinberger believes this year's defense budget should be increased by about $6.4 billion over the Carter administration's revised total of $171.2 billion in budget authority. The sources said discussion is still underway as to the specific mix of programs that would benefit from the dramatic increases. Gen. David Jones, chairman of the joint chiefs, testified in Congress Wed- nesday that the military services were seeking about $8 billion more for this fiscal year, which ends next Sept. 29, and budget additions-"probably in the high 20s to 30s"-of billions of dollars in the next fiscal year. Defense officials said emphatically that though Weinberger and the Reagan administration generally are strongly in favor of a significant boost in defense spending, the armed ser- vices are not being given any blank checks to pick and choose what specific weapons and other programs should be increased and by how much.

The survey of black peoples' opinions on cancer said they are less likely than whites to think they will get cancer, but more likely to think it will be fatal. In addition, the survey found that many blacks suffer from damaging myths about cancer. Among them is the false belief'that surgery actually encourages the disease to spread by exposing it to the air. Dwyer denies spy charges, Iranian newspaper says American writer Cynthia Dwyer denied spy charges at her trial by an Iranian Revolutionary Court, and the prosecutor said she was drawn into a fictitious plot to free the 52 American hostages, an Iranian newspaper said yesterday. A report on Wednesday's trial session in the newspaper Ettelat said the prosecutor indicated the 49-year old freelance journalist had been tricked by two Revolutionary Guards who made up a story about an armed band of students who wanted to free the American hostages. According to the newspaper's fragmentary report, the prosecutor said Dwyer agreed to help and tried to obtain guns and radio equipment to aid the plan to free the hostages. Dwyer was arrested May 5 after she went to Iran to writearticles about the revolution there. The Swiss Erybassy, which represents U.S. interests ir Iran, said Wednesday she had been tried on espionage charges at a one-day session of a Revolutionary Court and that a verdict was expected in the next few days. In Washington, the State Department has said its information is that Dwyer had a hearing Wednesday and not a trial. The Buffalo Evening Newsb in Buffalo, N.Y., said yesterday it learned that a Swiss diplomat told U.S sources in Washington that Dwyer could be released soon and allowed to return to the United States. Rep. pleads innocent to charge of attempted sodomy WASHINGTON-Rep. Jon Hinson (R-Miss.) who denied being a homosexual during his successful re-election campaign last fall, pleaded in- nocent yesterday to a mhisdemeanor charge of attempted sodomy. Superior Court Judge William Thompson scheduled a jury trial for May 4, and released Hinson on personal recognizance. If convicted, Hinson could be sentenced up to one year in prison and fined as much as $1,000. Hinson, 38, is accused of having oral sex with Library of Congress em- ployee Harold Moore, 28, in a men's room of the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill. He was arrested by police in the men's room Wed- nesday. "I am not, never have been, and never will be a homosexual," Hinson said. "I can't prevent rumor, speculation, and innuendo from taking place." New central bank targets may raise interest rates WASHINGTON-Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker said yesterday the central bank will set new targets aimed at lowering money and credit growth even if it means higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve is required to unveil its annual money growth targets later this month, only days after President Reagan plans to reveal his spen- ding cut and tax reduction proposals to Congress. Volcker said the Federal Reserve's goal of lowering money growth is "certainly consistent" with what he knows of the administration's economic plans. Reagan's plans are expected to include a 30 percent reduction in tax rates over three years. Volcker, testifying before the Joint Economic Committee, acknowledged that even tighter money growth along with big tax cuts could mean higher interest rates for a "prolonged" period. Time running out for equal property tax bill LANSING-A bill to avert dramtic property tax increases in many Michigan communities was introduced yesterday amid warnings time may be running out for legislative action. Robert Kleine of the state Department of Management and Budget said the legislature faces a deadline of Feb. 15 to act on the matter, although a delay could be implemented-with considerable disruption-as late as April. The new law seeks to ensure that different types of property are assessed and taxed equally. It is expected to produce large tax increases for homeowners in some communities which traditionally have assessed business and industrial property at a higher rate than residential holdings.
