Boner's announcement followed a meeting with all three members the Tennessee Public Service Commission. COMMISSIONERS JANE "Esklnd and Frank Cochran and Chairman Keith Bissell traveled to Washington to petition the Ten-nessee congressional delegation to Help postpone until 1986 a regular monthly "access charge" for longdistance service. Boner said his legislation would Janeel a December ruling by the federal- Communication Commis: ston to allow a local phone compa-ity'rti Charge all phone customers 4 set 'monthly fee for the cost of paving long-distance service I "I oppose the FCC decision because It allows the phone company to charge people who don't use ltmg-distance the same as people Who do," Boner said. "If you don't use it, you shouldn't have to pay tor it." LAST WEEK, South Central Bell isked the PSC for permission to tjsise telephone rates by $279.7 million, which phone company officials say could double some basic Residential charges.

"In a telephone conversation during the week ending July 1, 1983, Mr. Ball advised the undersigned Cohen that he would not return any of the materials, as he, stated he might use them in connection with a libel suit that he might file based upon certain information published in the book Marie." The motion says similar requests for destruction or return of sensitive documents were complied with by attorneys for T. Edward Sisk, former legal counsel to Blanton, Charles Fred Taylor, former state trooper, and William Aubrey Thompson, a Chattanooga businessman. BOTH SISK and Taylor pleaded guilty in March 1981 to clemency- lor-casn cnarges and are serving five-year prison terms. Thompson pleaded guilty to racketeering and was given a four-month jail term, Benson was acquitted May 1, 1981, by a jury on charges involving the sale of clemency for cash.

It was Benson who became state extradition officer when RaggM anti was promoted to head of the paroles board. IN THE book, Benson's name is often mentioned in the same con text with Sisk, Taylor and Thomp son, as Ragghianti describes events leading up to the break in the clemency-for-cash scandal. It could be this association with per' sons who were convicted later of illegal activity that Benson consid ers libelous. "Given that the defendant or his attorney maintain use of, or even access to, these materials unless he obtains a new court order, the government submits that grand jury materials must be returned to the government immediately," me motion COHEN WOULD not comment on the types of materials the goyf ernment wants, other than to clarify that the FBI documents were summaries of interviews by FBI agents with witnesses. "Because the defendant no longer has the right to the material, possession now reverts back to the government," the motion says.

"More importantly, only the gov ernment can adequately guarantee the security and secrecy of the materials In question. 7 Cohen's motion says the FBI documents were "turned over to the defendant for a l'mited pur pose in a criminal trial. Their at tempted use for civK purposes is outside of the scope pi the Jencks Act requiring their disclosure." for day ing ma. and ma; ma; Franklin, Ta. College Grove, Tn.

A motion filed in VS. District Court yesterday claims Benson's attorney, Gordon Ball of Newport, says he may use the materials to prepare a libel suit concerning the book Marie: A True Story.

"THE GOVERNMENT submits that a private attorney is not entitled to have continued access to grand jury materials once the criminal defense through which he obtained such materials has ended," says a motion filed yesterday by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Cohen. The recently released book Mar- ie is about Marie Ragghianti, for- mer chairman of the Board of Pardons and Parole during the ad ministration of former Gov. Ray Blanton. a libel suit is being considered," Benson said yesterday from his Newport home.

Benson would not say what portions of the book he considers libelous. BENSON said was he was not privy to a conversation between Ball and Cohen over the documents. "They the government gave us boxes of information called Jencks materials that were mostly grand jury testimony of people who testified for the government during my trial 78 of them," Benson said. "I assume we have everybodyls testimony who appeared before the grand jury." THE BOOK Marie, written by Peter Maas, portrays Ragghianti as a courageous woman who turned over information to the FBI that eventually led to charges against key Blanton officials. The charges involved the sale of pardons to state inmates.

Ball was vacationing in Hawaii and could not be reached yesterday for comment. Cohen says in the motion that grand jury transcripts and FBI interviews were turned over to Ball under provisions of. the' Jencks Act, which requires the government to relinquish to the defen-dent pre-trial statements of witnesses once the trial is over. "RECENTLY the government requested of Mr. Gordon Ball that such materials be returned to j.he government or destroyed," Cohen says..
