(AP wirephoto) LCB Member Indicted, But Case Was Later Dismissed By BOB WARNER HARR1SBURG (AP) Liquor Control Board member Daniel Pennick was indicted in 1954 on charges of involvement in a Michigan kickback scheme, but the case was dismissed three years later. Notes on the legal proceedings were released Wednesday by the Shapp administration, as a House committee threatened to subpoena the material. At one point during the. 3- year case, Pennick pleaded guilty to the kickback charge, he told a newsman. But he changed the plea to not guilty two years later and the case was dismissed the following month.

"When the facts finally came out, it was dismissed by the court," Pennick said. "My problem was I had the wrong kind of lawyers. One would say this and another would say that. Finally I changed lawyers because I wasn't going to 'let this thing down until it was cleared up." The disclosure was the latest development in a liquor board probe by the House Liquor Control Committee. The administration released notes from an oral briefing on Pennick's background, prepared by former Atty.

Gen. J. Shane Creamer and delivered to Gov. Shapp in late 1971 or early 1972. At the time, Shapp was considering appointment of Pennick to the three-member liquor board.

Pennick said Shapp met with him after talking to Creamer and decided to go ahead with the appointment. "I was working as a purchasing administrator for Wright Aeronautical Corp. in Michigan," Pennick said. "The com pany needed tool and dye equipment and I had to sign the purchasing orders. The paperwork came through my office." According to Pehnick, some of the men working under him apparently solicited kickbacks from tool and dye manufacturers, in exchange for the company's business.

When they were indicted, he said, he was "I was a victim of circumstances," Pennick said. The Creamer notes show Pen nick was indicted May 18, 1954 Six days later, he pleaded no guilty, posting a $5,000 persona Dond. Over the next 11 months Pennick's plea was changet three times, from not guilty no contest, to not guilty, to guil ty, on Aug. 15, 1955. On Oct.

10, 1957, the plea wa changed again to not guilty the next month the case was dismissed. In 1969, Pennick asked th U.S. District Court in Michigan to expunge the records in the case aad clear his name from involvement. The court the motion At the time of the case, I nick's last name was Pizanic He said he changed the nam in 1967 because of harrassmen his children encountered a school. Besides the Creamer notes the governor's office released copies of a 1972 state polic check on Pennick's back ground.

The report said Pennick had no criminal record. A descrip tion of his job experience die not mention Wright Aeronaut! cal Corp. Neither was there any note Pennick having changed hi: name. His father's name wa listed as George Pennick, Coaldale, Schuylkill County.

(AP) Eagle Scout Paul R. Kramer, a postman at the National Jamboree, today admits he feels "a little guilty" that he's not back home helping the criminal investigation of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. The 37-year-old Kramer, who lias been a scout since 1945, is First assistant U.S.

attorney in Baltimore, Md. His boss, George Beall. heads the probe of an alleged illegal kickback scheme which reportedly includes Agnew's handling of state and local building contracts while governor of Maryland during the 1960s. The allegations were disclosed earlier this week and the vice president, though confirming the investigation of him, denied any wrongdoing. "I feel a little guilty not being in the office because it's kind of hard being away when you may be needed," Krame-r said in an interview Wednesday during a pause in his duties of handling mail for scouts from 11 states, Canada and Taiwan.

It's a volunteer job that's kept him here since July 28, six days before this week-long encampment for began in this western Pennsylvania park near Pittsburgh. He declined to comment on By BETTY CESSNA Q. When is the best time .0 start new shoots from Rose bushes? I thought maybe when the moon is in the first quarter. Also, do you put a glass jar over them until they root? Is this a good time to start house plants? A. To tell the truth, I have never gardened according to the phases of the moon, except where frost is concerned, and have to admit that I don't know much about it.

I consider any time from now until frost a good time to root Roses. If you intend to leave them outside all winter, root them as soon as possible, for it is hard for a small cutting io develop a root system that will keep it over winter. To start them, choose shoots from this year's growth thai have already bloomed, to insure that they are mature enough. Gently break the shoot from the old stem, so that a heel, or portion of the old stem comes with it, This will be the bottom of the cutting, and will root much more readily than will a cut. Leave two sets of leaves oil the cutting, cut off the top and discard it.

The chances of success are increased if you dip the bottom end in a rooting hormone, such as Ro- otone. Insert the cutting in the ground in a shaded place, water well, and put a glass jar over it to conserve mois ture. I prefer to root them in the market pack full of sand and cover them with plastic. When they are rooted, plant them in soil and keep them as a house plant or in a bright baement all winter, and plant them outdoors in spring. When done this way, they will start blooming soon after planting out in spring, and by fall they are nice sized plants, capable of surviving the winter as well as an older plant.

Most house plant cuttings root readily now. any aspect of the Agnew investigation except to say it was pursued vigorously, and that he had "a special pass in case it became necessary for me to leave Jamboree on short notice." Other sources from Washington reported the federal investigators had launched their kickback probe last September and that it didn't begin to involve Agnew until this June after the Watergate scandal had reached into the White House. These sources also said the vice president was to be asked to produce any records relevant to the case and to testify voluntarily before the grand jury. Agnew, however, at a news conference Wednesday, said he hadn't yet been asked to turn over any financial records, but would do so at the appropriate time. However, he avoided answer ing whether he would personally appear before the federal grand jury.

'People here do ask me about it and I tell them "No said Kramer, who has three young daughters, two of whom are Girl Scouts. "Right now my responsibility is seeing that the boys have a good experience at tine jam boree. From this generation will come the future of this country. What they learn, and what's instilled in them, will give the direction this country will go." "And from what I've seen from this generation, America has nothing to worry about." Kramer, a stocky 5-foot-8, who wears tinted black-dmmec glasses when not being photographed, said, "there is no poli tics in our office, and insisted that all investigations are con ducted solely in the interests of justice regardless of who is involved." He acknowledged that prosecutions are sometimes made more difficult by widespread newspaper and television publicity, but added, "the public has a right to know." Kramer was appointed assistant U.S. attorney in 1963 by Democrat Joseph Tydings, who later replaced Republi can father as Maryland's U.S senator.

Three years ago Tyd ings lost his re-election bid to Beall's brother Glenn. Kramer was promoted to first assistant in 1969 by Steph en Sachs, currently the person al lawyer for former FBI Di rector J. Patrick Gray, who testified recently before the Senate Watergate Committee. In his activities as a prosecutor with the Justice Depart ment, Kramer has been in volved in the prosecution of Ar thur Bremer. convicted of at empting to assassinate Gov.

Wallace of Alabama, he draft card burning cases of Catholic priests Phillip and )aniel Berrigan and of persons involved in plane hijackings and organized crime. Kramer has attendee uine scout jamboree beginning in 950 and calls them "very exciting to the young people." "You can really see how the world and nation changes in its views, in the eyes of its participants," he said. "In 1989, in Idaho, the boys alked about the Vietnam War and what they would do if they were drafted. It was a big concern to them. "Today, the talk of the teenagers is about morality and government, about Watergate." Kramer, who likes to take his family in camping trips, and even to scout areas when he some special training, las served as a Scoutmaster, a District Chairman of Camping, and now is member at large for the Baltimore Area Council.

"We expect we'll find more bodies," Porter said, pointing to the stall where less than half of the 15 feet by 35 feet floor had been dug up by Houston city jail trusties. Porter and Pasadena Del. David Mullican both said they believed more than one person was involved in the killings. Mullican said that among the items found in Corll's home was a "long board that had holes in each corner and ropes so he could tie someone spread eagle." He said police also found nylon rope similar to that which had been used to tie up the unearthed bodies. "It looks like a case where a guy who liked perverted sex activities has been killing people to cover up his acts," Mullican said.
