Warhead cloaked in secrecy
i
AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — A
should of secrecy continues to
surround the status of a nuclear
warhead damaged in an
Arkansas explosion and
brought to Texas, but officials
insipt the weapon is no longer
dangerous.
£.t. Hardin, acting director
of "public affairs for the
Department of Energy in
Albjiquerque, N.M., said the
warhead was designed at the
Los! Alamos Scientific
Laboratory and that its
engineering was done by Sandia
Laboratories — both in New
Mexico.
“We had three people from
Los Alamos and two from
Sandia that went down to
Damascus (Ark.),” Hardin said
Wednesday. "They did
everything needing to be done
to make sure there was no
danger.”
He estimated it would be
three or four weeks before
personnel from the two labs
arrive to work on the warhead
stored at an assembly plant
near this Panhandle city. The
Pantex plant is the nation's only
assembly and disassembly
plant for nuclear weapons.
The warhead is believed to be
in the nine-megaton range,
which would make it one of the
largest in the country’s nuclear
arsenal.
The bomb was thrown from a
Titan II intercontinental
ballistic missile when an un-

The warhead was flown here
from Little Rock by a special
Air Force jet transport Tuesday
and trucked under heavy
security to the Pantex plant
about five miles outside of
Amarillo.
Government officials would
not say Wednesday what
happens next to a damaged
nuclear warhead.
Although Department of
Energy officials, who oversee
the plant, won’t release in-
formation, normal procedure
would be to disassemble the
warhead, one source said.
The usable components —
which could include radioactive
plutonium, gold, silver and
platinum — would be recycled
and shipped to other plants

The U.S. attorney’s office, in
a slow but steady pace, has
presented a step-by-step, word-
by-word case in the trial of
Texas House Speaker Billy
Clayton and lawyers Donald
Ray and Randall Wood.
The heart of the case is a Nov.
8 meeting among Clayton, labor
leader LG. Moore and FBI
informant Joseph Hauser.
It is around that meeting that
the prosecution will fire Its
loudest guns against Clayton —
a veteran of 20 years in the
Legislature and the speaker for
state employees health in-
surance contract.
The speaker said he accepted
the stack of $100 bills from
Moore, regional director of the
International Operating
Engineers Union, but con-
sidered it a campaign con-
tribution.
Clayton said he considered
the contribution improper, but
took it for the time being to
avoid embarrassing a sup-
porter. He put the money away
in a drawer and planned to
return the money later, Clayton
said.

The informant was in-
troduced to the speaker by
Moore, who has become a
central figure in the Texas
Brilab investigation.
During the meeting, Moore
said to the speaker, “I have the
blank checks. ... It sure would
help me if 1 could get Joe
Hauser established in this state
because 1982 is going to be a
tough one.”
Moore asked the speaker if he
could help in reopening the
bidding on the state insurance
contract and specifically
requested Clayton to inervene
with Bob Johnson, an in-
fluencial member of the state
Employees Retirement Board,
the agency that handles the
insurance programs.
Clayton said in a recording
made Oct. 19, 1979, “Brief me
on the facts later. It’s hard to go
in and make an argument if you
don’t know anything about it.
I’m the kind of guy that if you
give me the facts I can use
them.”
The jury also heard a tape
recording where Wood advised
Moore and Hauser not “to go
out on a limb” in offering
Clayton money.
Clayton, Moore, Ray and
Wood were indicted June 12 by a
federal grand jury on charges
of extortion, bribery, con-
spiracy and racketeering.

SHELTON’S A
A Heartwarming Legacy from
Americana...by Williams
Legend Oak captures the heartwarming look of a family heirloom. Native oak solids and veneers are merged
with selected hardwoods and are then carefully distressed. Edges are given subtle worn edge treatments, imparting
the richness of time worn charm. A gracefullembossed floral motif, peg effects, and deep routings add
definition and character to the design Then with meticulous attention to detail, each piece is finished in
mellow honey hues, revealing the fullest depth and clarity of the beautiful woodgrams ... two lacquered coats
are added for extra tough protection. This handsome finish is then complemented to perfection with a
selection of hardware that appears to have found origin on a blacksmith's forge Make your furniture a legend-
in its own time . . . with Legend Oak by Williams.
