New Flood trial sought
WASHINGTON (AP) The govern
ment will make another attempt to
convict Rep. Daniel J. Flood of perjury
and bribery charges, the Justice
department announced yesterday.
The first trial of the Pennsylvania
Democrat ended Feb. 3 with a hung jury.
Only one of the 12 members held out for
acquittal, on all the counts, according to
jurors. i
Justice Department spokesman Terry
Aciamsdn issued a one-paragraph
statement that said the department will
seek a new trial and that Flood's at
torney, Axel Kleiboemer, was notified.
:* Kleiboemer said he would have no
comment.
.4damson said the decision to seek a
new trial did not stem from an in
vestigation into possible jury tampering
in'the first trial.
African president flees country
JARIS (UPI) President Felix Malloum of Chad fled his
*One and took refuge at a French military base yesterday
, and the chief of the national police assumed power in
N'Djamena, Sudan's SUNA news agency said.
SUNA reported that once Malloum had fled to the French
camp in N'Djamena, the capital of the Central African nation,
; the commander of the Chadian police, Col. Abdul Gadir
* Kamoji, had assumed power.
"Fierce fighting between forces backing Malloum and
troops loyal to (Premier Hissen) Habre resumed today with
, Habre's troops advancing on all fronts in the capital," SUNA
- said.

The lone juror who held out for
acquittal, William Cash, had claimed to
jurors that he had confidential in
formation which could be interpreted as
helping to exonerate Flood.
However, when later questioned about
that report, Cash said he was only joking
when he claimed to have a secret source
who gave him information.
The Justice Department announced
last Friday that the FBI would begin a
jury -tampering investigation, in part
because the information that Cash
revealed to the other jurors bore some
similarity to that contained in a con
fidential year-old FBI report.
There was some question as to
whether prosedutors would seek a new
trial because of Flood's age and the state
of his health. The 16-term congressman
is 75 and was hospitalized two days after
Malloum's presidential palace was threatened by advancing
Habre forces and the president fled to the camp manned by
hundreds of heavily armed French paratroopers, diplomatic
- reports in Paris said.

The agency said Kamoji played a key role in the military
coup which toppled pro-French President Ngarta Tombalbaye
four years ago.
More than 1,000 French residents were hastily evacuated to
the same base because of heightened offensives by Habre's
self-styled Army of the North which reopened fire on govern
ment forces in N'Djamena for the fourth consecutive day, the
reports said.

the first trial for what aides said was
exhaustion.
Flood was accused of taking more
than $50,000 in bribes in return for using
his influence as chairman of an im
portant congressional subcommittee on
labor and health, education and welfare
which oversees billions. of dollars in
annual federal spending.
Witnesses against Flood included his
former aide, Stephen B. Elko, who is
serving a two-year prison term for
taking $25,000 in bribes to influence
Flood in connection with federal aid for a
now-defunct chain of trade schools in
California.
Flood, who is from Wilkes-Barre, was
elected to a new term last November,
after he was indicted on the perjury and
bribery charges.
