The defense sought to undercut the testimony of another major witness, Paul H. Corscadden, a CIA deputy chief who was Kampiles' supervisor.

The defense tried to characterize him as an aging man in a dead-end job bent on destroying Kampiles' career because he was jealous of his alleged sexual prowess. practice is a flagrant and deliberate violation of agency security regulations and must be stopped immediately."

He will also try to establish that Kampiles "is a very patriotic man who longed for excitement and a chance to prove his potential worth as an undercover agent."

The espionage trial of a former CIA employee resumes here tomorrow with its focus now on the agency itself as the result of embarrassing courtroom disclosures of lax security for top-secret documents at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. The defendant, 23-year-old William Peter Kampiles, is accused of stealing a technical manual describing the KH-11 spy satellite and selling it to a Soviet intelligence agent in Athens for $3,000. Kampiles worked as a trainee at the agency from March through November 1977. The satellite is said to be so sophisticated that it can produce legible photographs of billboards from hundreds of miles in space and, unlike other satellites, transmit pictures back to earth in coded signals. The government has said that possession of the manual by foreign powers would allow them to devise defenses against the satellite.

Ladies' Hats Straw Hats Jackets Quilted Vest Quilted Jackets Custom Patches Except for the testimony by Murphy and two "expert witnesses," the main focus of the trial has been on the quality of security for top-secret documents at CIA headquarters. During the first day of the trial before Judge Phil McNagny it was disclosed in government documents requested by the defense attorney that 17 other copies of the KH-11 technical manual could not be accounted for. The government has since accounted for four of the missing manuals. Later, Monico read from a memorandum from Adm. Stansfield Turner, director of the CIA, to all agency employees.

The July 2 memo said in part: "In recent months evidence has including copy 155, which Kampiles is accused of stealing. In the cross-examination, Donaghue said that he destroyed a copy of the KH-11 munual in December 1976 but, in violation of agency rules, did so without witnesses and made no record of the destruction until August 1978, after he had been told to account for the copies entrusted to him. He also acknowledged that many clerks and employees other than Kam On direct examination, Corscadden said he had twice told Kampiles that he was receiving unfavorable comments from his co-workers and that his future with the agency could become jeopardized if he did not improve his performance. On cross-examination by Monico, Corscadden acknowledged that the unfavorable comments were office rumors about Kampiles' sexual life, which he called "the legend of Billy."

22ND Force-fed inmate stirs Texas flap HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) Texas prison officials force-feeding an inmate who went on a hunger strike may be killing him through their efforts to keep him alive until he can be executed, a prison doctor said. Attorneys for the Texas Department of Corrections went to court in Huntsville yesterday to seek a judge's advice in the matter. David Lee Powell, 27, was sentenced to death in September for the May 1978 machine-gun slaying of an Austin police officer. Under Texas law, death sentences are automatically appealed. However, shortly after sentencing Powell began a hunger strike, saying he wanted to die.

When he was transferred to Death Row in Huntsville and still refused to eat, prison officials began force-feeding him through a tube Oct. 9. Three times since then, he has refused even tubal feedings. His last refusal Thursday prompted a prison doctor to have him transferred to the prison hospital. The doctor has expressed concern that more than a month of force-feeding has weakened Powell's esophagus to the point that it could rupture and possibly kill him if the feedings continue.

A prison spokesman said Friday the force-feeding would continue until a judge advises otherwise. K00L-AM i I M.I II i. ,11.1.11 i.i II I. I I II III I I Live In The Great Casas Adobes Area!
