Agrees to fines on illegal payoffs
Westinghouse Electric admits guilt
WASHINGTON ( U P I )
Westinghouse Electric Corp. agreed,
yesterday to plead guilty and pay
$300,000 in fines on 30 counts of illegally
concealing payoffs to a foreign govern
ment official. But a federal judge
declined to accept the plea immediately. ,
U.S. District Judge Barrington
Parker, after a hearing on government
charges against Westinghouse and the
plea agreement, delayed a ruling until a
further hearing this morning.
The Justice Department filed the
agreement in District Court along with
charges that the big electrical equip
ment manufacturer "willfully and
knowingly" made false statements to
federal agencies between 1975 and 1977.
But when Parker was asked to accept
the agreement, he pressed attorneys for
both sides to explain the "compelling
reason" for their failure to disclose
names of the - country and individuals
involved in the payoffs.
"The only difference that I see bet
ween this and any other criminal case
that comes before the court," Parker
told the lawyers, "is that here we have a
significantly large corporation and in
many other cases all we have is some
poor individual."
Jeffrey Hirschberg, a Justice
Department lawyer, told Parker it was
"in the interests of the United States"
that the name of the foreign official be
withheld. He said the government and
Westinghouse had agreed under the plea

people involved would not be identified.
Hirschberg said the names of overseas
bribe recipients were withheld in cases
earlier this year involving Control Data
Corp. of Minneapolis and The Williams
Co. of Tulsa, Okla.
He said in the Westinghouse case, "a
district manager in a foreign sales of
fice" delivered $250,000 to a foreign
government official on behalf of the
company in 1975, setting up a $3O million
to $35 million contract for Westinghouse.
In 1977, the same sales manager
passed $73,000 to the government official
for another large contract, Hirschberg
told Parker.

possible tumor on his left testicle.
Haberle, who was admitted to the

operation is necessary to determine
whether or not the lump he discovered

or not it is spreading.
Haberle said he went to the Ritenour
Health Center when he first noticed the
lump and was, examined by a urologist
