Civiletti faces scrutiny

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney
General Benjamin Civiletti may have
deliberately obstructed justice by
withholding intelligence information
about the Billy Carter case, Sen. Robert,
Dole said yesterday.
Dole, a member of a special Senate
subcommittee looking into the Libyan
ties of the president's brother, said in a
statement issued in Wichita, Kan., that
Civiletti would face "intense scrutiny"
about his action.
CIVILETTI disclosed on Wednesday
he saw "highly sensitive" intelligence
reports in April revealing that the
Libyan government might be preparing
to pay money to Billy Carter, but
withheld them from Justice Depar-
tment investigators for nearly two
months.
Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), chairman
of the subcommittee, said the panel will
look into Civiletti's revelation.
Bayh reiterated, however, that on the
basis of the information he has, he
believes the attorney general "respon-
ded properly" by keeping the infor-
mation secret in order to protect in-
telligence sources.

"WE WOULD LIKE to take care of
all of our fundraising in 1981 because
the longer we wait, the-more it's going
to cost," Mesler said.
The theatre foundation plans to holds
fundraising auction this Sunday at the
theatre. The auction, featuring donated
household goods, is expected to raise
about $1,000 for the theatre.
The box office opened on a regular
basis last Monday, and according to
Mesler, the theatre is booked through
next May. A new film series will begin
August 10 to supplement the continuing
second Sunday series organ concerts.
Other upcoming events, he said, in-
clude movies, speakers, music groups,
orchestra concerts, and performing ar-
tists.
