Rudolph gives probe OK HUNTSVILLE Rocket scientist Arthur Rudolph, attempting to regain his U.S. citizenship, surrendered his right to privacy in granting approval for the Justice Department to open its investigative file on his Nazi past. Rudolph remains in Toronto, Canada, where he was detained by authorities July 1. Eli Rosenbaum, the principal deputy director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, told The Huntsville Times yesterday that Rudolph's Canadian attorney, Barbara Kulaszka, requested that the files be open. Rosenbaum said the files do not exonerate Rudolph, as his supporters have claimed.
He said West Germany conducted its own "war crimes" investigation on Rudolph after the former German rocket scientist from Huntsville renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1983 and moved back to Germany.

Lyman Ward Military Academy Camp Hill, Alabama 36850 JCCEO director put on leave By Nick Patterson Post-Herald Reporter The board of directors of the Jefferson County Committee for Equal Opportunity yesterday allowed its executive director to stay on the payroll until Monday. Executive Director Charles Henry had failed to heed an order to resign by last Monday in the wake of a no-confidence vote Friday. Larry Langford, JCCEO chairman and mayor of Fairfield, said the board yesterday placed I Henry on a leave of absence until 5 p.m.
Monday to allow Henry's attorney to meet with the board attorney. After the meeting "this matter will be put to bed permanently," Langford said. In the meantime, the board named Gail Cunningham, director of the JCCEO Head Start preschool program, as interim director of the JCCEO. The JCCEO, founded in the 1960s, is an agency designed to aid the poor with programs and services. Langford said Tuesday that the board's no-confidence vote was prompted by Henry's mismanagement of the JCCEO's finances.
Langford said that without board approval, Henry purchased a building with a $100,000 downpayment and a $5,000 monthly payment. The board cannot use the building because it is not zoned for office space. Henry also gave himself an year raise without board approval a raise he is now paying back in $500 monthly installments, Langford said. Although Henry has refused to comment, his lawyer Robert Wiggins yesterday said he was innocent of any wrongdoing. "My client says that those things are not Hunt renews call for Associated Press MONTGOMERY Gov.
Guy Hunt renewed his call for teacher testing yesterday, while a Republican legislator blamed Democratic gubernatorial nominee Paul Hubbert for Alabama not using a national test for new educators. After a speech to the Montgomery County Bar Association, Hunt told reporters, "We've got to have testing. I would advocate the testing of all teachers who come out of the education system." The Republican governor said he believes the National Teachers Exam "is not discriminatory against any race or background." He said he has tried to get that test implemented in Alabama without success. In 1979, then-state Rep. Larry Dixon, R- Eugene Jordan Willie Eugene Jordan, 72, Birmingham, died yesterday.

"It represents prudent judgment on the part of the board, based on legal counsel, to do what is in the best interest of the agency and Mr. Henry," Langford said. SIS Although Langford said Henry had not threatened a lawsuit which Wiggins confirmed he said the JCCEO merely wants to avoid spending the agency's money on any legal matter.
FOCIA Wiggins indicated there is some possibility that Henry could keep his job. STATION "I just don't know what form the events might take.

The Alabama Education Association, headed by Hubbert, got the bill killed in the Senate, Dixon said in a statement yesterday. Dixon said he then went to the state Board of Education to try to get it to mandate the National Teachers Exam, but Hubbert "encouraged the board to develop its own home-grown test.
I told the board the NTE had been tested in court all the way to the Supreme Court and a home-grown test hasn't. I told the board this same man who is encouraging you to develop it (a homegrown test) will sue you when some of his Mrs. Elaine Dilworth, Birmingham. Harold J. Pearson Sr.

And, Dixon said, that's exactly what happened. 107 Dixon, now a state senator, said the school board spent $1 million getting a company to develop a teacher test that was thrown out as a result of a class-action lawsuit filed by college graduates who had failed it. Then, he said, the school board had to pay $1.1 million to attorneys who represented those challenging the test.
"The attorneys were hired by AEA and they didn't even have to pay for it. There's a smoking gun and a bloody knife for 10 years as far as teacher testing, and it all goes back to his (Hubbert's) office at the teacher's union," Dixon said. Sumter, S.C. Memorials to American Cancer Society. Ms.
