The Greenville News State Friday, May 15, 1981 Sub returns to Charleston for its final place of rest CHARLESTON (AP) For half its 30 years of active duty the USS Clamagore and its 70-man crew called Charleston home. Thursday, the decommissioned and mothballed submarine was moved into its permanent home at the Patriots Point museum beside the carrier Yorktown. Named for a species of tropical blue parrot fish, the sub was commissioned in June 1945, too late for action in World War II. Based in Charleston from 1959, she served in the Atlantic and Mediterranean until decommissioned in 1975. Twice the Clamagore was modified, the last time at Charleston in the early 1960s.

J.E. Guerry, executive director of the Patriots Point Authority, said the 322-foot diesel vessel arrived from Philadelphia at 6 a.m. and was docked at the State Ports Authority's passenger terminal until towed across the river to the carrier on the incoming tide late in the afternoon. She was moored at a recently completed section of a 600-foot, $1.9 million pier. After some cleanup work the sub will be open to the public in July.

Guerry said the Clamagore, donated to the museum by the Navy, is in excellent shape. The authority plans to move the destroyer Laffey and the nuclear ship Savannah to Patriots Point in late August. Both are already in Charleston, Guerry said. Spartanburg Calendar of events Dr. John Alfred Witherspoon received the A.V.

Strom Thurmond in the FBI's Abscam undercover investigation, a former top Justice Department official revealed Thursday. Testifying at a Washington hearing on former Rep. John W.

Jenrette's appeal of his bribery and conspiracy conviction, former Assistant Attorney General Philip B. Heymann said the decision to target Thurmond was made shortly after Jenrette indicated the senator might be willing to accept a bribe. Thurmond, is now chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Thurmond, commenting through his press secretary Thursday, told a Columbia, S.C., newspaper that "the Abscam trial tapes show that former Congressman John Jenrette was throwing my name around. However, Attorney General Ben Civiletti, on two occasions, said that I was not or ever had been a target of the investigation." Heymann's testimony in U.S.

District Court, however, apparently contradicts statements made last year by then-Attorney General Civiletti in response to allegations by Jenrette that FBI agents had tried to get him to lure Thurmond i into Abscam. At the time Civiletti, denied that Thurmond was not involved in any way, and insisted that no attempt was made to entice the senator. Civiletti said he based his statements on talks with Heymann and FBI Director William Webster.

Responding to a question from Jenrette's attorney Thursday, Heymann said he personally approved targeting Thurmond after Jenrette had told agents the senator might be interested in taking a bribe.

Heymann recalled a phone conversation he had with U.S. Attorney Charles F.C. Ruff in which the Washington prosecutor wanted "to go ahead and offer an opportunity to Senator Thurmond to come in and take money. He said, 'I think we should follow this thing through." Heymann told the court he gave Ruff the green light but added, "I don't know exactly what happened after that." On a Jan. 7, 1980, FBI videotape, Jenrette tells an undercover agent that he would seek Thurmond's aid in introducing an immigration bill on the Senate side to help the phony sheik.

Jenrette, however, said the cost to the sheik would be $125,000. Later, in taped telephone conversations, Jenrette and an agent are heard discussing ways to bring Thurmond either to a Washington townhouse or a nearby hotel to talk about the legislation. But, during Jenrette's trial last fall, it came out that Jenrette never contacted the powerful senator nor did any Abscam investigators. Thurmond testified at the trial, later calling Jenrette a "lying skunk" for suggesting the senator might be willing to take a payoff in return for a political favor. Jenrette is seeking to have his File photo Sen.

Thurmond Jenrette used name conviction overturned on grounds of government misconduct. He says his due process rights were violated and that he was entrapped into committing a crime. Heymann, who is now a professor at Harvard Law School, defended the Abscam probe, maintaining that every precaution was taken to ensure the investigation was conducted fairly and within the bounds of the law. A focus of Jenrette's appeal has been FBI informant Melvin Weinberg. The convicted swindler is expected take the stand Friday.

Jenrette's post hearing is expected to continue into next week. Associated Press The USS Clamagore is docked at Patriots Point It will open as a tourist attraction in July dency program at Spartanburg General Hospital. Encounters are free. Converse College recently paid tribute to Dr. Robert T.
