Vf '1 i Pentagon documents gone, say prosecutors By Tim Ahern Vssooaied Prer.s WASHINGTON Prosi-cutors say people implicated in the Pentagon bribery probe have destroyed documents at bust twice in the past two weeks, and that releasing key information about the invisti-tt' might trigger a cover-up by "major felons." "In the short time since the exe-' cution of the search warrants be-" came public (June i 4 the govern--ment has already become aware of several incidents of destruction of documents related to this case," U.S. Attorney Henry Hudson, who is coordinating the probe, said in a court brief released Wednesday.

In an affidavit, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Aronica said pros-, ecu tors have learned of two incidents of document destruction. On Capitol Hill, members of Congress called on Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci to make a dramatic move such as halting new-Pentagon contracts to win back public credibility in the ake of the bribery probe. "We're fighting a credibility problem here and it seems as though tough action is required," s.iid Rep.

John Kaskh, R-Ohio. Hudson, in his court brief, discussed the possibility of further document destruction in arguing against release of sealed court documents. Hudson did not provide any details on who destroyed what types of documents, how they were destroyed or how they might have been related to the probe of alleged bribes to Pentagon personnel in exchange for confidential information tunneled to consultants and defense contractors.

Tuesday's rain was not enough to make the state Department of Natural Resources modify camp-fire and fireworks restrictions, officials said. "Basicallv in most areas of the state, it will be ju as dry as it was before the rain," said Karl Meyer of the DNIt Forestry Division. "We cannot afford to become complacent." The rain also did little to reduce the fire threat in the state, DNR public information officer David Kunelius said. "Prior to the rain, it was really a tinder-box powder keg," he said.

"The rain cuts the edge of that a little bit, but we're not anywhere near the point that could lift the burning ban. It's a small piece of what we need to get back to normal." The DNR instituted a fire ban in state parks last week, and Gov. Tommy Thompson signed an executive order Tuesday banning lire-works, although municipalities can authorize displays.

The Wisconsin State Patrol has issued its annual warning to motorists to drive safely this holiday weekend, and has added a few extra suggestions because of the hot, dry conditions. Motorists are encouraged to use air conditioners sparingly when caught in slow moving traffic so the systems don't overheat. They are also urged not to let cars idle near grass or other combustible material. All motorists should carry a jug of water for the car radiator and aluminum foil to wrap around the fuel line if necessary to prevent vapor lock. There will be some obstacles for motorists.

While some of that cash will go to sophisticated investors, much will go to people who have tucked away Fort Howard stock certificates and are not wise in the ways of the market, local brokers said. "It's going to be the people I don't talk to who are going to be the targets," said Robert Post, a stockbroker at the Green Bay office of Robert W. Baird Co.

"Green Bay will, without a doubt, be the target of these kind of scams," Post agreed.
