DETROIT FREE PRESSTUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1987 4A Tombo disputes sexual allegations mstro dateline 111 ombo disput Affidavit alleged Miles knew of stolen money "1 ,2 that gained notoriety in 1982 for the robbery of armored cars and banks. Much of that money has not been recovered. A federal grand jury in Arkansas looking into the activities of the Silent Brotherhood and other right-wing extremists decided in April to indict Miles and 13 others on sedition charges. Miles, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Michigan and head of a white supremacist church, is free on bond. The affidavit by Detroit FBI agent Farris Genide remained secret for one year until Miles obtained it and released it to reporters.

In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News, Miles denied knowledge of the missing money. DENVER (AP) An FBI affidavit seeking a wiretap on Michigan white supremacist leader Robert E. Miles discusses the disposition of as much as $2 million believed stolen by the killers of Denver radio talk show host Alan Berg. The 94-page affidavit was made to obtain a court-approved tap on the home telephone of Miles in Cohoctah, the Rocky Mountain News reported. The court granted permission for a wiretap.

Information included in the affidavit shows that at least two FBI informants allege that right-wing leaders believe Robert Mathews, head of the gang that killed Berg in 1984, sent the stolen money to an unnamed Denver lawyer to invest for the Order, an extremist group By JACK KRESNAK Free Press Staff Writer Dr. Jose Tombo on Monday finished his testimony about allegations that he sexually molested patients at North-ville Regional Psychiatric Hospital by disputing recollections of several witnesses. Tombo, who denies he sexually molested or seduced patients, was fired from his job as a psychiatrist at North-ville in December 1985 after the arrest of his former patient, Ronald Lloyd Bailey, in the kidnap-slaying of 13-year-old Shawn Moore of Green Oak Township. Bailey's attorneys claimed during his trials that Tombo had seduced Bailey and turned him into a killer. Bailey was sentenced to two terms of life in prison without parole for Shawn's murder and the 1984 kidnap-slaying of 14-year-old Kenny Myers.

Tombo admits that in spring 1977 he took Bailey, then 18, on a trip to the Windsor Raceway. But Tombo said the trip was therapeutic for Bailey, who had told Tombo his family, especially his father, was too busy to do things with him while home on weekend passes from the hospital. On Monday, Tombo admitted under cross-examination by Assistant State Attorney General Alan Hoffman that Tombo's notes in Bailey's hospital charts in weeks before the racetrack trip indicated improvements in Bailey's relationship with his family. Tombo did not write anything about the trip in Bailey's hospital charts7 Hoffman asked why the reasons for the trip were "not important enough to put in the progress notes, but (were) important enough for you to take him across international boundaries." "That is your statement, Mr. Hoff- i Educators found lacking self-esteem and confidence Dr.

Like the other students in his class, Bailey began by drawing a schematic design of his robot. "Mr.

Bush gave us the pattern, and we just went off after that and went after our own ideas," Bailey said. "I don't tell them what to do," Bush said. "I give them the problem and let them come up with their own answers." Bush said his approach allows students to figure out other things, too, such as fixing items that break down around the house.

CLEMENS -A lack of self-esteem among educators is a top issue facing the nation's schools in 1988, a Michigan study group contends. Teachers are frustrated over a lack of involvement in school decisions and the negative perceptions of student performance, said William Banach, assistant superintendent of the Macomb Intermediate School District. "The self-esteem of educators particularly teachers is the pits," Banach said. "Buffeted by social change and battered by critics, educators have internalized too many negatives, and they are becoming more defensive, more introverted and less self-confident." For eight years, Banach and other Michigan educators have studied social trends and predicted the top 10 issues for the next year. Among them are the changing role of high school principals and teacher-school board tension.

DETROIT Unnceded payment Parents in the Detroit area are "being solicited by mail to pay for a service that is provided free by every Social Security office, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A private company, Federal Record Service of Washington, D.C., mails parents of newborns an offer to get a Social Security number for their child for a $10 fee. The service cites a new law requiring that children over age four be listed by Security number to be claimed as a dependent. To obtain a Social Security number without paying $10, take a birth certificate and one other piece of identifying information to a local CITY DONATION STATE Social Security office.

The parent will also need evidence of his or her own identity. DETROIT Red Cross asks blood Citing a "severe shortage" of blood, the Red Cross appealed Monday for donations during the holiday season. The agency said blood platelets are in particularly short supply, as is Type 0 blood, especially O-nega-tive. Red Cross spokesman Ed De-Whitt said blood supply is traditionally low during the Christmas and New Year's holidays, but said collections were even lower than projected over the weekend. He said Monday's bad weather was expected to reduce donations further.

Her sister, Rachquel, 1 1 and her grandmother, Ozzie Waire, escaped, authorities said.

Robotics makes a shop class high-tech ed testimony of Bailey's father, Alfred, and that of Raymond Cassar, one of Ronald Bailey's attorneys.

"What I said was if I had to testify and if the testimony was favorable I might be discredited because of all those innuendos surrounding that trip to Windsor," Tombo said. Tombo disputed testimony from other witnesses, including a nurse who said Tombo giggled about the erection of a patient restrained to a bed, and an aide who said Tombo took Bailey off the ward one Sunday for a picture-taking trip. Bailey was not asked about that incident when he testified against Tombo in April. Tombo refused to say the other witnesses were lying, but insisted the incidents never happened. Monday was the 17th day of the combined arbitration and medical licensing hearing that could continue sporadically until March.

After the hearing, a labor arbitrator will decide whether Tombo gets his job back and an administrative law judge will decide whether Tombo should lose his license to practice medicine. The hearing is scheduled to continue today and Wednesday with more defense witnesses.
