-THURSDAY, JUNE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL. Documents reportedly destroyed Student delivers WASHINGTON (AP) People implicated in the Pentagon bribery probe have destroyed documents on at least two occasions in the past two weeks, according to prosecutors who say making key information public would trigger a coverap by "major felons." "In the short time since the execution of the search warrants became public (June 14), the government 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 prosecutors 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 wake of the probe. "We're fighting a credibility problem here and it seems as though tough action is required," said Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio.

Hudson, in his court brief, discussed the possibility of further document destruction in arguing against release of sealed court documents. "Revealing the precise contours of the government's intentions and current information may well encourage document destruction and other acts" which "would have the practical effect of putting major felons beyond the reach of justice," said Hudson, the U.S. attorney in Alexandria, Va. Newsday Inc. is asking U.S.

District Judge Edward Korman in Brooklyn, N.Y., to lift the seal on several search warrants and supporting affidavits in the probe: for Unisys plant in Great Neck, N.Y.; Charles Gardner, a defense consultant to Unisys and former Unisys vice president; Dennis Mitchell, an employee at the Great Neck Unisys plant; and the Hazeltine Corp. in Greenlawn. Newsday said the seals should be lifted because the investigation has been extensively reported in the media, but Hudson said previous news stories haven't disclosed significant portions of the material, "particularly the wiretap information." Hudson also said disclosing the affidavit in support of a search warrant at Hazeltine would reveal the identity of a confidential source cooperating in the investigation. 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 funneled to consultants and defense contractors. In Washington, the Pentagon's top purchasing official, Robert B.

Costello, testified before Congress and said he would talk with Carlucci today about a suggestion to halt Pentagon contracts. Rep. Les Aspin, said Carlucci should order "absolutely no contracts signed for 60 days (or) six weeks" with companies involved in the criminal investigation. "Carlucci could make a dramatic move," Aspin told Costello, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition policy. baby on sidewalk SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Using a "TV knowledge" of such matters, a 21-year-old cbllege student delivered a baby girl on a city sidewalk Wednesday.

"I'm still high," Patrick Combs, a senior at San Francisco State University, said Wednesday. "I couldn't believe I was the first person to touch this baby. When her eyes opened up and she looked around I just started screaming. The feeling was so Shortly after 7 a.m., when Combs left his apartment for his job at the Levi Strauss he saw a woman lying in a stairwell next to the sidewalk. She told him she was pregnant and needed an ambulance.

He went to call the ambulance then helped the woman onto the sidewalk. Several people looked on, he said, but none offered to help. "They just stood there. It was like she was being shunned." After a neighbor brought a blanket and pillow, Combs went into action. He removed the woman's pants and spent 15 minutes soothing her and encouraging her to push.

"I just kept telling myself you can have babies anywhere. Anywhere," he said. The baby's head appeared. "It was so purple, I didn't know what it he said. Forty minutes after Combs stopped to help, an ambulance pulled up.
