Provincial House Investigator Found Dead, But No Link Seen to His Work - BALTIMORE (AP) The death of a U.S. House subcommittee staff member, whose partially clothed body was found in Baltimore Harbor, is not believed to have any connection with his investigative work, officials said Friday.

"I was going to heaven and It was snatched out from under me and Its killing me. Schwalls was serving a five-yesentence for aggravated assault when hfe was released Tuesday. He returned to his home m Seffner, where his wife of 2L years waited. But prison officials discovered hours after .they had driven him to the bus station that a computer mistake had been made and he still has a year to serve. The Schwalls consulted an attorney Wednesday, but then Schwall decided on his own the only "intelligent" thing to do was return to prison voluntarily. "Getting in the car to go back was the hardest thing I've ever done,, he said This is a relief in a way, but my stomach is queasy.

Administration officials said that - Helms, by making his letter public even before it was read by Reagan, was trying to assure Salvadoran voters that d'Aubuisson was not without friends in Congress. Friday, John Hughes, the State Department spokesman, said "the United States government has scrupulously avoided taking sides in the Salvadoran election. On the aid question, the administration is seeking $62 million in emergency military assistance now; it already channeled $32 million on its own to El Salvador last month, but wants Congress to approve the larger $62 million figure, as well as a large part of the requested $132.5 million for the 1985 fiscal year. It also wants approval of $21 million in covert aid for Nicaraguan rebels Judge e. Harry Trumans reputation as a mediocre politician who became great when he assumed the mantle of the presidency is incorrect, says biographer David McCullough. McCullough says Truman already was showing the qualities that would make him a great president 40 years before assuming the office. It required only a series of genuine challenges for his true character to assert itself, McCullough said, writing in this Sundays issue of Parade Carol Channing believes in the old saying that the show must go on, but the musical Jerrys Girls didn't go on when its star came down with acute laryngitis. Miss Channing, 63, was listed m good condition Friday at Yale-NeHaven Hospital after her illness forced cancellation of Thursdays performance of the financial problems, had initiated contacts with Soviet officials. While working with the Army intelligence agency from July 1977 to January 1980, Smith had became obsessed with an opinion that the CIA and Army Intelligence were too conservative, unwilling to take necessary risks to uncover clandestine Soviet activity (in the U.S.). In 1981, Smith wrote a letter to Soviet officials in San Francisco. He urged them to contact him by placing specific advertisements in three San Francisco newspapers, according to court papers. His intent, according to the papers, was to start a double-age- nt operation. Continues Activity While traveling to Japan on business next year, Smith decided to continue his double-ageactivity by contacting the Soviets, the court papers state. His intention, according to his lawyers, was to give unimportant and outdated classified material and obtain payment in the San United States, particularly Francisco and have the CIA, FBI, and Army officials hiding in the closet to make the arrest of Soviet spies working in the United States. Joe Cocker spent about 36 hours in a Vienna, Austria, jail after concert organizers alleged they lost $21,000 because the British singer missed a May 1 concert. Upon his release Thursday night, Cocker said Austrian police dropped charges of taking money for the missed concert. Cocker blamed problems with the instruments and the hall All afternoon the band kept coming back from the gig and saying, 'Joe, the pianos out of tune, the organ doesnt work. They dont make that much of a fuss if things are reasonable," Cocker said. He dismissed the accusation that he missed the concert because he was drunk. Id had a few of em. Well, not that many ... I was more than anything, he said. nt Much of the governments case against Smith, 40, of Bellevue, Wash., is based on statements Smith made to the FBI. Defense attorneys requested Friday that those statements should not be admitted as evidence because he was not properly warned of his rights. The lawyers said when Smith first contacted the FBI in 1983, three years after he had left Army, . . . the FBI led Smith to believe that he was on the inside of the organization. That his work was appreciated. That all would be okay if he would just tell the complete truth The FBI knew that Smith, described by his friends and family as a deeply religious Mormon, had a special affinity for following orders, for trusting authority, the lawyers said. He was extremely susceptible to having the FBI imply that he had been taken back into the intelligence community ... that he was himself a double agent FOR the United States, the papers stated. Prosecutors say Smith only contacted the FBI because he thought he had been detected by Japanese surveillance of the Soviet compound in Toyko. They charged he sought to avoid prosecution by saying he would pretend to further cooperate with the Soviets, and that initially, he did not tell the FBI all the information he had told the Soviets. Defense attorneys say they expect to have Smith, who has a wife and four children, released on his $500,000 bond by early next week. They have been unable to obtain his release because some of the banks that originally agreed to issue letters of credit as collateral for his bond were no longer willing to do so because of publicity in the case. star, is considering investing in a project to turn an abandoned paper mill into a luxury hotel.
