HUGHES FUNERAL HOMES LTD. JOHNSON HUGHES FUNERAL HOME 201 S. 13th Herrin. IL (618) 942-3102 Plastic surgery doesn't help escapee LOS ANGELES (AP) Northrop Corp. and five current and former employees were indicted Tuesday on charges they conspired to defraud the government in building components for the guidance system for the cruise missile and the Harrier jet fighter.

The 167-count indictment announced by U.S. Attorney Robert Bonner charged that Northrop and the five conspired to install parts of the cruise missile system that failed to meet government specifications. The indictment also alleged that lengthy reliability testing on the cruise missile's Flight Data Transmitter was not performed as required and that three of the defendants supervised false testing and falsification of test results. If convicted on all charges, Northrop faces a maximum fine of more than $30 million. Each of the individ ual defendants would face maximum jail sentences of five years on each count and fines ranging from $5,000 to $250,000.

"Today's indictment is part of our continuing efforts to identify, prosecute and hopefully deter defense procurement fraud," Bonner said in a statement. He said the indictment was the result of a two-year probe by a multia-gency task force. There was no immediate reaction to the indictment from Northrop. James Halley Sr. Services 1:30 p.m.

"He said he altered his appearance so he would look like Robert DeNiro." Litchfield offered no resistance when surrounded by four deputy U.S. marshals early Tuesday, McLendon said in Tallahassee.

Litchfield is to be held in the Escambia County Jail in nearby Pensacola before being moved to' the federal government's highest security prison at Marion, 111., marshals said. When Litchfield was arrested Tuesday, he was carrying a briefcase containing what Pekarek characterized only as "a large sum of of money." He said Litchfield had about $2,500 in cash in his pockets.
