Marshal posing as reporter
angers Athens' publishers
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) ? Publishers of Athens' daily,
weekly and student newspapers are demanding a Justice
Department Investigation of federal marshal who posed as
a news reporter to gain information.

and Daily News, Pete McCommons of the Athens ,
Observer and Charles Russell of the Red and Black, the
University of Georgia student newspaper, sent a letter to
U.S. Attorney General William French Smith on Wednesday,
condeming the marshal's actions in Athens Oct. 14.
The marshal was seeking to identify a potential nuclear
protester, said Mike Brown, chief deputy at the U.S. marshal's
office in Columbia, S.C. A spokesman for the U.S.
Marshal Service in Washington said it was the first time
anyone had questioned the actions of federal marshals in
such a situation.
<4I KNOW of no inquiries like this before," said
spokesman Bill Dempsey. "That's about all I can say about
it except that what they (marshals) did was perfectly legal."
The federal marshal indentified himself as a Greenville,
S.C. reporter to Jill Morris at the Athens Progressive
Resource Center on Oct. 14, Morris said.
The marshal inquired about her plans for participation
in an anti-nuclear rally at the Savannah River Plant, she
said. After she confirmed her plans, another marshal, with
the assistance of police, served her a summons to appear at
an injunction hearing the next day in Columbia. The injunction
was issued Oct. 15 but later stayed.
JUbiicc Lvcpai iiiicm j>puKCMii<ui juiiii ivusscu sciiu u is
rare that marshals pose as reporters, adding that the incident
was "more or less bad judgement, and possibly
stupid.

said he and his classmates went from
paradise to peril on the tiny Caribbean
island.
They streamed off two Air Force
transport planes in Charleston
Wednesday, exuberant, but weary.
Several kissed the ground when they
stepped off the planes and all said they
were relieved to be back on American
soil.
THE STUDENTS gave the first extensive
eyewitness accounts of the
fighting to dozens of reporters before
they continued their journeys home.
