Military transport crash
kills 16 in Indiana city
EVANSVILLE, Ind. A military
transport plane plunged nose-first into
the ground Thursday and smashed into
a motel and restaurant, spewing blazing
fuel and killing at least 16 people, au
thorities and witnesses said.
"It looked like Pearl Harbor," said
Mark Whitehead, who rushed to the
scene from his nearby home.
The Lockheed C-130 four-engine
turboprop plane crashed into the back
of a JoJo's restaurant and the north side
of the Drury Inn motel shortly before 1 1
a.m. Burning fuel was sprayed hun
dreds of feet, sending flames 60 feet
into the air and creating a tower of black
smoke that was visible for miles.
By midafternoon, the fire was out
except for some smoldering spots.
Firefighters soaked debris with foam to
prevent any reignition of fuel-soaked
areas.
Five of the dead were members of the
Kentucky National Guard's 123rdTac
tical Air Lift Wing. They were on a pilot
proficiency training mission, Guard
spokesman David Altom said. Nine
people died in the motel, and two others
were found dead in the restaurant, said
Rick Woods, chief deputy coroner for
Vanderburgh County.
At least 19 people were injured.
Sandy Appier, director of marketing
and public relations for Evansville Re
gional Airport, located about a mile
from the restaurant and motel, said the
plane's crew was using the airport to
practice landings.

GOP members because of his political
background.
"Duke is a great embarrassment to
the Republican party because he is a
racist and anti-Semitic," Robins said.
The Louisiana GOP does not support
Duke, even though he resides in that
state and served in the Louisiana legis
lature from 1989-1991, said Joel
Mincey, political director for the Loui
siana Republican Party.

Defense claims accuser
wanted Tyson's money
INDIANAPOLIS The beauty pag
eant contestant who has accused Mike
Tyson of rape said she wanted to go out
with him because he was rich and dumb,
anothercontestant testified in the boxer's
trial Thursday.
'"You see what Robin Givens got out
of him,"'Madelyn Whittington recalled
the woman saying moments after Tyson
asked her for a date during the Miss
Black America contest. The former
heavyweight boxing champion divorced
actress Givens after a stormy eight
month marriage in 1988.
Whittington, 20, testified for the de
fense that she ran into Tyson's accuser
in the bathroom after the boxer had
appeared at a pageant rehearsal July 1 8.
"She told me Mike Tyson had asked
her out, and I said, 'Are you going?'
And she said very excitedly, 'Yes, of
course! This is Mike Tyson. He's got a
lot of money. He's dumb, '"Whittington
told the court.
But under cross-examination,
Whittington said that at the pageant's
opening ceremonies, Tyson addressed
several of the contestants by saying,
'"You want to come to my room? I
know I'm not going to get nothing, but
I'm going to ask anyway.'" She could
not say if Tyson's accuser heard his
remarks. The defense has argued that
the woman should have known by the
fighter's behavior with the pageant con
testants that he was interested in having
sex.

"We have no affiliation with him,"
Mincey said. 'To us, he is a Republican
in name only."
With the primary season about to
begin, only 1 1 states have granted Duke
a place on the ballot. Duke did not meet
the filing deadline for the May 5 N.C.
primary.
Duke's lack of GOP support could
force him to consider abandoning the
Republican Party. Duke has suggested
that he may resort to running as an
independent or as the candidate of a less
mainstream party in the November gen
eral election.
If Duke resorts to an alternative party,
he may increase his chances for a sig
nificant showing.
"He could win (a nomination) as a
third-party candidate," Rose said. "His
support is rarely visible, so it's hard to
tell how much is out there."
Duke claims to have changed since
his days as an active participant in the
National Association for the Advance
ment of White People, largely because
of his newfound Christianity. But many
voters do not believe his turnaround is
credible.
"It's not a sudden turnaround he
hasn't really changed," Robins said. "It
is dangerous to count David Duke out,
but he has not maintained the momen
tum he once had."

Barnes promises tougher war
By Karen Lakey
Staff Writer
The next state attorney general should
make fighting crime and serving as the
people's advocate his top priorities, said
Henson Barnes, a Democratic candi
date for the N.C. office.
"Leadership should come from the
top down," said Barnes, a UNC gradu
ate. "The attorney general should lead
the fight in the war on crime and should
do more work in consumer affairs."
Speaking Tuesday night before a
group of about 20 Young Democrats,
Barnes emphasized what he termed"tra
ditional methods of law enforcement"
to reduce the state's rising crime rate.
Eliminating plea bargains for accused
drug dealers and using more under
cover agents and stakeouts should help
keep criminals off the streets, he said.
"If you're a drug dealer, you should
goto prison," said Barnes, president pro
Durham police face state, federal investigations
By Tara Duncan
Staff Writer
Rumors of prostitution and illegal
wiretapping within the Durham Police
Department have sparked state and fed
eral investigations.
State Bureau of Investigation agents
began an examination Tuesday of re
ports that a career development officer
had been running an escort service, us
ing female employees as prostitutes.
Their inquiry also will evaluate
charges that the officer falsified creden
tials when joining the department.
In a related investigation, the FBI has
been reviewing charges that five
Durham officers violated federal wire
tapping laws while compiling the
department's own review of the prosti
tution accusations last December.
"The FBI and the SBI have been
brought in to see if the department's
investigation was sufficient," said
Orville Powell, Durham city manager.
"Anything else uncovered will need to
be dealt with."

Celebration
Heels to bring down No. 1 Duke.
Mark McCormick, who was work
ing at Players after the victory, said that
cold weather forced celebrants inside
and that the club was not prepared for
the revelry.
McCormick praised the police for
allowing the celebration and for con
trolling the crowd.
The police do a good job to let
people blow off steam," he said.
Spanky s assistant manager Vance
Barrett said the Franklin Street party
helped increase business.
"It got a lot busier, he said. "Every
one was happy. I think all of the Duke
fans left and left it to the Carolina fans."
Barrett said there wasn't any signifi
cant damage to Spanky's.
"There was a little vomit in the sinks,
but basically nothing that wasn't repa
rable," she said.
He's Not Here manager Mark B umett
said business increased about 40 per
cent. He said he didn't have to take any

tempore of the N.C. Senate.
The N.C. crime rate is increasing
twice as fast as criminal activity in any
other state, Barnes said. The next attor
ney general must lead the fight to stop
crime from becoming an everyday oc
currence in people's ljves, he said.
To lower the state crime rate, drug
abuse and trafficking must be stopped,
Bames said. The rise in crime is tied
directly to the state's increased number
of drug abusers.
"Some people will kill you for enough
money to buy a hit," he said. "(If this
continues) they soon will be in the posi
tion to bring us to our knees."
Seizing drugs before they reach N.C.
buyers will decrease state drug use,
Barnes said. Stationing a uniformed
ton offered his resignation from the
force three times last week, but Powell
refused to accept his requests.
"I told Hampton that I would not
accept his resignation unless the allega
tions ... were true," Powell said.
Hampton has denied any knowledge
of an escort service being run within the
department, Powell said.
The city manager said he stood by the
results of the department's internal in
vestigation, which cleared employees
of prostitution charges, but said an out
side review still was needed to uncover
any unknown truths.
The internal review was compiled by
five Durham officers during a five-week
period last November and December.
"There was absolutely no evidence
(of prostitution)," Powell said. "It was
an investigation founded on rumors that
had no basis. It was something that
probably shouldn't have been investi
gated, but it couldn't be ignored."

precautions to prepare for the crowd
because the bar was not located on
Franklin Street.
"I figured most of the party would be
outside," Burnett said. "Every time the
street closes, it doesn't affect us that
much because we're off the street."
Cousins said the crowd quieted down
about 2 a.m.
Carlton Jordan, a street supervisor
for the Chapel Hill Public Works De
partment, said cleanup from the post
victory party took about 2 12 hours.
The cleanup was made easier because
most students drank beer out of cans
instead of glass bottles, he said.
"There was mostly beer cans and
toilet paper," Jordan said. "There was
very little glass."
A team of eight workers and one
supervisor conducted the cleanup using
a street sweeper and a street water
flusher, Jordan said.

police officer in front of well-known
crack houses also may deter many drug
deals, he said.
Barnes, from Greensboro, has served
in the General Assembly for 18 years.
His legislative experience will give him
an edge in dealing with state lawmakers
and will allow him to serve the state
better, he said.
Recent attorneys general have re
fused to accept the role of the state's
chief law enforcement official the
most important function of the office,
Bames said.
"Only a small percentage of the at
torney general 's time is directed toward
crime," he said. "The attorney general
should not sit in his office like a potted
plant. He should go to the General As
sembly and ask for better laws or more
resources if he feels it is needed."
Barnes said action as the "people's
attorney" should be another important
aspect of the attorney general 's job. The
investigation. Davis denied any con
nection with a prostitution ring but re
signed from the Durham police force
Wednesday because he had been un
able to prove that he graduated from the
University of Maryland.
"This investigation is an infringe
ment upon rights of an individual based
on rumors," Davis said in an interview
last week.
If Davis can prove his credentials by
Feb. 10, he may regain his job, Powell
said. Falsifying records is a felony pun
ishable by 10 years in prison.
Even before the recent allegations of
prostitution and falsifying records,
Davis' record had been called into ques
tion. He was suspended from the
Durham department for three days in
1990 after leaving the scene of an acci
dent involving a city-owned car.
Davis also was demoted from cap
tain to lieutenant during an investiga
tion of sexual harassment charges while
working for the Columbia, S.C., police
in 1988.
The Durham department's internal

Housekeeper
punch the clock, nor are they ques
tioned about their every move."
Equally disturbing is the problem of
low morale among housekeepers,
Brittian said, because supervisors del
egate jobs that do not fit employees' job
descriptions.
"It's hard enough to clean, but then
having to put in light bulbs and climb up
ladders when that does not really fit
their job description creates a big mo
rale problem."
Brittian said the complaints already
had been outlined in the Step 3 griev
ance filed against the University last
month. But some employees are afraid
tocome forth with individual complaints
for fear of losing their jobs, which pay
subpoverty wages.
Tinnen agreed that housekeepers tol
erated harassment because of their des
perate situation.
"It affects us real bad because people
have to work two jobs to make ends
meet," she said. "And there's not an
other big major industry around here, so
where else is there for us to go?"

on crime
N.C. attorney general's office receives
100,000 complaints per year and has
only 10 people to handle the grievance
overload, he said.
Shifting more employees to the at
torney general's office and asking citi
zens to file written complaints would
make the resolution of claims more
efficient, Barnes said.
"It would weed out the not so serious
cases," he said. "Justice delayed is jus
tice denied in most cases."
The attorney general needs to take
the initiative to track down "deadbeat
dads" and force them to pay child sup
port, he said.
Barnes said he supported giving a
woman the right to choose an abortion
and would continue to advocate this
stance even if the U.S. Supreme Court
struck down the 1973 Roe vs. Wade
decision. Current N.C. law allows a
woman to have an abortion in the first
four months of her pregnancy, he said.
prompted the FBI to investigate the
possibility of illegal wiretapping. Five
officers who helped conduct the inves
tigation may have used illegal methods
to tap some of the force's phone pagers,
according to the FBI.
"We are still reviewing all informa
tion to see if there has been any illegal
interceptions of oral receptions," said
Tom Lusby, an acting FBI special agent.
Two of the Durham officers under
FBI review were transferred two weeks
ago, and the other three were demoted.
Durham Police Capt. George Hare said
the officers were moved because of the
pending FBI investigation.
In addition to reviews from state and
federal agencies, the Durham City Coun
cil and the Durham County district at
torney want to review the city's police
force.
"We must be understanding of the
police department and its workings,"
said Howard Clement, a Durham coun
cil member. "The Durham City Police
Department isn't a peaches-and-cream
operation, but people would be intoler
ant if they thought otherwise."

Tinnen expressed hope that many
issues would be resolved next month
during grievance hearings.
"We hope there will be a big change
in the way supervisors perform, and the
cruelty of doing sneaky things to people
and the problem of writing people up,"
she said.
Meanwhile, Brittian said he would
press administrators to provide em
ployee training to workers falling intc
the University's lowest pay grades. He
already has written several letters to
Hardin about possible changes.
"We're talking about giving them a
chance for upward mobility," he said.
Brittian said he thought morale prob
lems would cease somewhat with op
portunity and access because workers
entering the lowest pay grades would
feel that they had a chance to advance.
'This will show the University has a
genuine concern, but to say you can't
provide (training) opportunities for
employees in an institute of higher learn
ing is somewhat ridiculous," Brittian
said.
