Sept. 1? and “discussed vir-
tually all aspects of the Gulf
Oil extortion,” McBride
said.
He said no attempt was
made to conceal anything
from McKinney, who was
assigned the job of finding a
hideout in the Arizona desert
where money obtained in the
extortion would be received
McKinney also would work
with Michael Worth to
retrieve the money, McBride
said.
McBride has been sentenc-
ed to 40 years in prison and
fined $20,000 for his part in
the extortion He agreed to
testify against McKinney as
part of a plea bargain ar-
rangement.
McBride said McKinney
was to receive $1 million of
the ransom. He said group
members expected Gulf to
bargain them down to $5
million.
Authorities found five
bombs inside the Cedar
Bayou plant. One exploded,
but hurt no one and caused
no damage. The others were
disarmed.
McBride said his part in
the plan was to research
Gulf Oil. He testified that
among the things he did was
to have Gulf send him some
brochures about its opera-
tions at the Cedar Bayou
plant, which he received
under an assumed name at a
Tucson, Ariz., address.
McBride pleaded guilty in
June to conspiring to
obstruct interstate com-
merce by threats. Worth, 35,
is serving a 30-year jail term
after pleading guilty to the
same charges. Justice, 30,
who pleaded guilty to two
counts, is awaiting sentenc-
ing. Ms. Bird, 37, McBride’s
girlfriend, received five
years probation.
McKinney, Ms. Bird and
Justice were to receive $1
million of the ransom,
McBride said. Worth would
be paid $1.5 million because
of his involvement in the
planning and the execution
of the plot, McBride said,
with the remaining $500,000
going to him.
In 1982, the federal government cut its spending on food stamps and other food-
assistance programs — the first such cut since 1969. The food-aid budget will rise
again this year, but spending for 1984 will drop almost to the 1981 level
in March. The indictment
charged that the group
brought more than 5,000
pounds of marijuana into the
south Georgia county during
three months in 1980
In closing arguments,
Haas' attorney, Converse
Bright, said the case against
his client boiled down to two
witnesses — George
Kersting and Gary Childers
Both were offered immunity
from prosecution in the case
Bright said Childers'
testimony was "the uncor-
roborated testimony of a liar
who lies and laughs at you.”
"These federal witnesses
got breaks ...in exchange for
their testimony,” said
Charles Erion, Sawyer’s at-
torney.
“To get inside informa-
tion, deals have to be made,”
prosecutor Bob Adams said
in rebuttal arguments.

LOS ANGELES <AP) — The World Series grabbed four
places in the Top 10 and sent ABC sliding into first place in
the Nielsen ratings for the week ending Oct. 16.
ABC’s victory stopped CBS, winner of the first two weeks of
the fall season, and gave the seaaon-to-date laurels to ABC.
The opening game of the World Series between the
Baltimore Orioles and the Philadelphia Phillies was the top-
rated show of the week Game 2 was second. Game 3 was
fifth, and Game 5, in which Baltimore clinched the series,
was sixth The final game Sunday afternoon ran into prime-
time and was counted in the ratings, while Saturday's fourth
game, all in the afternoon, was not counted
ABC won the week in the A.C Nielsen Co. survey with a
rating of 20 2 CBS was second with 18 0 and NBC was third
with 15.3 The networks say this means that in an average
prime-time minute 20 2 percent of the country’s TV homes
were watching ABC
The victory gave ABC a slim lead for the season ABC has
18 2, CBS is second with 18.0 and NBC is third with 15.3
ABC, outside of the World Series, did not place any regular
shows in the Top 10. CBS had five shows and NBC one at the
head of the list

CBS' “Simon & Simon,” in third place, was the highest-
rated regular show CBS' “AfterMASH” was fourth
In seventh place was the NBC movie “Adam,” which told
of the fight by a Florida couple whose child was kidnapped
and killed to have Congress establish a national register for
missing children.
Other CBS winners: “The Country Music Awards" in
eighth place, "Magnum. P.I.” ninth and "Scarecrow and
Mrs King" tenth
Most of the new network series remained at the bottom of
the ratings, although it was an unusual week because of the
World Series
Two NBC shows made their season debuts “Hill Street
Blues" was 18th and “Silver Spoons" was 36th
The lowest-rated show of the week once again was NBC’s
“First Camera," the magazine show it has placed up against
CBS' “60 Minutes " The bottom five in descending order
were CBS’ "Cutter to Houston,” a political telecast paid for
by John Glenn on CBS, NBC’s “For Love and Honor," NBC's
"Coneheads" special, and "First Camera.”
CBS maintained its lead among the evening news shows
with a rating of 12.1. NBC was second with 10 6 and ABC was
third with 10.0.
Extortion trial continues
HOUSTON (AP) - The
line man to face trial in the
bombing of a chemical plant
knew the details of the $15
million extortion plot, as did
the other four people in-
dicted, the scheme’s master-
mind testified in federal
court
Theodore McKinney, a
46-year-old former college
professor, helped plan the
plot against Gulf Oil
Chemical Corp.’s Cedar
Bayou plant, about 30 miles
east of Houston, John
McBride testified Tuesday.
McKinney is the only one
of five Durango, Colo.,
residents who has not plead-
ed guilty to some portion of a
12-count indictment handed
down in the September 1982
bombing. He contends he
was duped into the scheme,
then threatened if he tried to
back out.
"The five of us plotted the
extortion,” McBride said.
He denied McKinney was
tricked.
The five met together for
the first time in Durango on

"I have no earthly idea
how it got there," said
O’Rourke, who denies using
drugs
O’Rourke said he was out
of town when the radio was
installed, and he did not
learn that a substance was
found in his car until ques-
tioned about it by a reporter
in late July
He asked the Sheriff’s
Department to investigate
the allegation, and later that
week he was shown written
statements from Jefferson
and Boykin After that, "I
thought the subject was
dropped." O'Rourke said.
“The guy who’s going to
bear the brunt of this kind of
deal is me," O'Rourke said.
The case was turned over
to Assistant District At-
torney Bill Moody on Mon-
day.
