D-12 PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1996 OBITUARIES SPIROT.AGNEW fTv if From disgraced politician to international dealmaker J- tit if VI Associated Press Spiro T. Agnew, right, takes the oath from Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to begin his second term as vice president on Jan. 20, 1973; his wife, Judy Agnew, is at middle. evasion.

Other than his family, about all he had going for him was his friendship with Sinatra and his Rolodex, stuffed with the names of people he'd met during his travels as vice president They turned out to be more than enough. Sinatra started him off with a $200,000 loan. He also encouraged Agnew to write a novel, then touted the idea with publishers, helping Agnew land a $100,000 contract for "The Canfield Decision" a thriller about a fictional vice president. He then found Agnew a business Eartner Frank Jameson, the usband of Eva Gabor, who hired him as an international business consultant for $100,000 a year. Agnew also had a philosophical attitude to keep him going.

Whereas his former boss, President Richard M. Nixon, reacted to his own forced resignation by "brooding for the next 10 years," as one confidant of both men recalled, Agnew "decided he had to get on with his life." He held a cocktail party at his home to begin cultivating clients. Those were the days of the oil boom in the Middle East, and Agnew's party had a decidedly Middle Eastern flavor, attended by the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon and Jordan, with Indonesia and Singapore represented. Entertainer Danny Thomas was on hand to speak to guests in Arabic, if they wished, and everyone was invited aboard Jameson's corporate jet to fly to Las Vegas two days later for a Sinatra concert at Caesars By Dan Fesperman The Baltimore Sun He fell even faster than he'd risen, which is saying something, considering that it took Spiro T. Agnew only two years to leap from Baltimore County executive to the vice presidency of the United States.

But even after revelations of long-term corruption forced his resignation in 1973, Agnew's landing was soft, thanks to a wealthy and worldly supporting cast that began with Frank Sinatra and eventually included such unlikely benefactors as Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. A life that might easily have become a public misery of disgrace and indebtedness was instead sheltered and comfortable, with Agnew rarely having to travel in circles where his tarnished reputation mattered. It was a feat he sustained to the very end. Valued mostly for his easy charm and his wealth of worldwide contacts, Agnew succeeded for 23 years in fashioning a livelihood out of his one brush with fame, even as he continued to duck the harsher light of political infamy. At the time of his death Tuesday, Agnew was still working as an adviser to business executive Mark McCormack, founder and chief executive of International Management Group, whose clients have included everyone from superstar athletes to the pope.

In 1973, Agnew was jobless, an ex-lawyer facing disbarment, and his debts included legal fees, a big mortgage and a $10,000 fine for tax Palace. When the Jameson arrangement fell apart, Sinatra again played matchmaker, at a party he held for Jack Benny's 80th birthday. The new partner was Walter Dilbeck, an Indiana tycoon, and in April 1974 diplomatic cables announced to U.S. embassies in the Middle East that a new businessman who just happened to be a former vice president was headed their way. With petrodollars in abundance, it was an era of many such journeys, as one former diplomat recalled.

But his partnership with Dilbeck was short-lived. Dilbeck liked to blab, boasting of his deals in the works and of his famous partner. Their clients ran for cover, and so did Agnew. The partnership broke up in an exchange of angry letters released to news media. Then a benefactor from Agnew's earlier life stepped to the fore: J.

Walter Jones, who had met Agnew in the mid-50s at a meeting of the Loch Raven Kiwanis. Agnew, while on the Baltimore County Zoning Board, cast the tie-breaking vote in 1959 to let Jones rezone a $12,500 piece of property that eventually became a $3 million parcel. Jones offered organizational and fund-raising help for Agnew's cam--paigns, and a position on the board of his bank. Agnew put the county's funds in Jones' bank. And so on, until 1975, when Jones moved into the breach left by Dilbeck.

By the end of the following year, their efforts had landed three construction contracts in Saudi Arabia and man trying to do business with a country then banned from dealings with U.S. companies, but also as someone ready to praise even the worst of dictators if it was good for business. In a letter to the ruling junta, Agnew wrote: "One can only hope that the misguided critics in the Western liberal establishments will take a more objective view and ease these unjustified attacks on your country." Several members of the junta were later convicted for human rights violations associated with torture and mass murder. Agnew's business trips continued right up until last Friday night, when he returned wearily from yet another journey overseas. Next month he was due to meet McCormack in Korea, off in another land where the Agnew name still meant nothing but stature and square dealing.

Iran for a Jones company, with Agnew making an $80,000 commission on one. The more doors Agnew opened for would-be dealmakers, the more seemed to open for him, and in 1985 he earned one of his biggest single commissions, for his role in an unusual chain of contacts that now seems bizarre in light of the ensuing 11 years of history. Agnew's client was a manufacturer of military uniforms, Pan-East owned then by a Lebanese businessman, Ahmed Habbous, who now lives in Libya. He wanted to sell uniforms to Iraqi dictator Hussein, whose army was using up its own supply at an alarming rate in its war with Iran. But the best way to bring the cost down would be to manufacture the uniforms some place where labor was cheap, such as Romania.

Agnew wrote a former Nixon defense aide, Jack Brennan, who had also become an international middleman for businesses. He wrote Nixon, who then wrote Romanian president Nicolae Ceausescu, the dictator who' was eventually' executed by his own people. The deal went through for $181 million. Agnew walked off with a commission of $797,000. There have been setbacks as well.

Agnew filed suit in federal court in 1976 to try to collect a $2 million commission from a Pennsylvania defense contractor. The company had sold a communications system to the ruling military junta in Argentina after an Agnew visit on the company's behalf. The documents emergence in the lawsuit proved to be an embarrassment, not only revealing Agnew as a CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING WESTMORELAND COUNTY COATES, Shirley A 67, of North Irwin, died Sept. 17.
