Cong
ressman: forged letters sent to influence votes
Washington-Letters with forged signatures of constit
uents are being sent to some congressional offices in an
effort to influence lawmakers on the Panama Canal issue,
a Kentucky congressman said. '
At least 20 congressional offices have reported receiv
ing the letters with forged signatures, .said Rep Romano
Mazzoli, D-Ky. He said he has asked postal inspectors to
investigate.

Most congressional offices have reported a heavy flow
of mail on the Panama Canal. The proposed treaties,
which would transfer control of the canal to Panama in
the year 2000, are awaiting ratification in the Senate.
House members also have been flooded with mail on the
subject.
Mazzoli did not identify other congressmen who have
discovered bogus letters. He said he first came across the
problem while answering letters from his constituents who
oppose the canal treaties.
Tests biased
San Francisco-Culturally biased 1Q test unfairly
trapped young James Lannigan in classes for the men
tally retarded and may be doing the same thing to black
youngsters across the nation, said attorneys in a trial
here.
Lannigan and five" other black students are suing the
city and state boards of education for alleged discrimina
tion against them. Attorneys say it is the first direct legal
challenge to IQ tests, which are supposed to measure a
person's intelligence quotient-ability to learn-rather
than how much a person knows.
If the plaintiffs win, their attorneys said the suit could
be the first step in sweeping the time-honored exams from
American schools because use of discriminatory assess
ment tools violates federal law.
B1 bomber
Denver-President Carter said Saturday his morning
tour of the cavernous Strategic Air Command headquar
ters near Omaha did not change his mind about the Bl
bomber.
"I think we have an adequate force capability (without
it)," said the president after flying here from Omaha,
"and that we'll have a good improvement with the cruise
missiles when they are deployed."
Carter's decision not to build the expensive Bl.but to
rely instead on the drone missiles, went against the urging
of many top Air Force officers, who wanted the bomber.
He said his tour of the SAC post at Offutt Air Force
base left him "reassured about America's military might."
Howling demons
New York-David R. Berkowitz, found mentally com
petent to stand trial in the "Son of Sam" case, says he's
anxious to tell the world about the howling demons that
he claims drove him to kill six persons for blood.
At a two-day competency hearing, State Supreme
Court. Justice John Starkey ruled him competent to stand
trial for the murder of Stacy Moskowitz, 20, the last of the
Son of Sam victims.
No trial date was set, but Starkey scheduled a hearing
on possible motions for Nov. 2.
