    Suspect surrenders after 20 years 1
NATIONAL
ARLINGTON. Va (AP) —
Twenty years ago a band of
would-be revolutionaries
botched a bank holdup and
left a bloody trail os they dis
appeared into Cuba on a
hi|ac:ked jetliner. I he last ot the tour suspects sur
rendered Wednesday.
William White Graham. 38. was arrested about 2
p.m. os he stepped off a flight from Miami at Wash
ington Notional Airport. U S. Attorney Kenneth
Melson said.
"He just docided it was time." Arlington Coun
ty police Detective Steve Carter said.
Graham had been living in the Son Francisco
Hay area for about five years and was married to a
woman who lived in Miami, said FBI Special
Agent Howard Luker. Graham used the name John
Morgan Richardson and worked in the computer
field. Luker said
Graham had returned to the United States in the
mid- to late 1970s. Luker said. He would not say
where Graham had lived before arriving in San
Francisco.
Graham’s lawyer contacted the FBI early this
week to sav that Graham was considering turning
himself in. Luker said. Luker said he felt "shook
astonishment and every other type of emotion"
when he received the call.
The arrest closes a case that has haunted Arling
ton police since October 1972. when an off-duty
police officer and a bank manager were gunned
down in the foiled robbery
Days later an airline ticket agent was shot to
death as the fugitives hi nicked an Eastern Airlines ■
jet from Houston Intercontinental Airport and
forced the pilot to fly to Havana
The other three suspects. Charles Toiler and his
two sons. Bryce and Jonathan, were arrested short
ly after they returned from Cuba in 1975
But Graham remained behind, and Cuban offi
cials refused to extradite him. In 1975. he said in a
newspaper interview that he had enrolled in the
University of Havana.
Luker said that Graham indicated “that he is
extremely relieved that this is all over with." lira
ham wus influenced to turn himself in by pres
sure put on his family by investigators. Luker said
He said the FBI was investigating whether family
members might have helped Graham elude capture
IRS offers last minute tax filing advice
WASHINGTON (AP) — With
a midnight deadline approach
ing. the IRS offered some final
guidance today to as many as 25
million couples and individuals
who don't believe in filing their
tax returns early.
The first rule: Don't panic.
Second, don’t think an innova
tive excuse will get you off the
hook for failing to file. The Inter
nal Revenue Service has heard
them all.
There was the certified pub
lic accountant in Dallas who
didn't file for two years, claim
ing he couldn't find any forms.
Another Texan skipped filing
for several years and. when
pressed by the IRS. demanded:
Didn't you get my death certifi
cate? 1 mailed it to you.’’
Many IRS offices and postal
stations around the country
planned late hours tonight to
accommodate procrastinators
and those who simply don't
want to hand over their money a
minute too soon.
In most big cities the plans
were similar: IRS workers and
volunteers available to answer
last-minute questions and postal
workers standing at curbside to
receive returns In Milwaukee,
the IRS and a radio station were
teaming up for festivities that
include a dunk-the-taxman
opportunity for harried taxpay
ers. Proceeds will go to reduce
the federal deficit.
The IRS, which is on a cam
paign to treat taxpayers like pay
ing customers, offered three
major new wrinkles this tax sea
son:
• A person who is unable to
complete a return by the dead
line may gain a four-month
extension, to Aug. 16, by filing
Form 4868. The big deal this
year is that no failure-to-file
penally will l>« assessed even if
4866 is nul accompanied by a
check for Ihe balance owed.
Note Form 4868. printed months
ago, still says you must send a
check; thut is outdated.
There still could be penalty
and interest of 13 percent on the
balance.
•The IRS is pushing its
installment payment plan for
those who file but can't afford to
pay all that is owed. The taxpay
er can suggest a payment plan
by attaching Form 9465 or a
handwritten note to the return;
the tax agency will say within
30 days whether the offer is
acceptable.
•People who have failed to Tile
returns in the past — costing the
treasury at least $7 billion a year
— were offered almost no-quea
lions-asked treatment if they con
fessed and arranged to pay before
the IKS contacted them.
