Contradictions force
Cooley out of running
1 WASHINGTON — Rep. Wes
Cooley, an outspoken conserv
ative dogged by allegations that he
lied about his military record and
personal background, said Tues
day he was ending his bid for a
second term in Congress.
Under pressure from fellow Re
publicans to step aside, Cooley
said he was bowing out of his race
for re-election in the 2nd District
because of his family’s suffering
and fear that he would lose the
seat to a liberal.
Cooley’s departure clears the
way for former Republican U.S.
Rep. Bob Smith’s expected return
to politics. Smith has said he
might run for his old seat as a way
to keep it from falling into Democ
ratic hands this fall.
State officials are investigating
whether Cooley falsely claimed to
be a Korean War veteran. In addi
tion, the federal Veterans Affairs
Department is looking into
whether Cooley’s wife, Rosemary,
improperly received veterans’
survivor benefits.
Last week, House Speaker
Newt Gingrich joined fellow Re
publicans pressuring Cooley to
end his re-election bid.
Pilot killed when U-2
plane goes down
20RO VILLE, Calif. — A U-2 spy
plane exploded and crashed
into a newspaper building’s park
ing lot Wednesday, killing the pi
lot and at least one person on the
ground. Two others on the ground
were slightly injured.
‘ ‘The wing just blew off and the
plane spiraled right down,” said
Robert Frutos, a technician work
ing on a nearby radio tower. He
said the plane burst into flames
while still in flight.
Capt. Randy Roby, an experi
enced instructor assigned to Beale
Air Force Base, radioed the Beale
tower and declared an in-flight
emergency a few minutes before
the crash.
Roby was found dead in his
ejection seat, said Lt. Col. Dennis
Linn Beale, a spokesman at the
base about 25 miles southeast of
Oroville. A civilian also was
killed at the plane’s point of im
pact, police said.
Two others were treated at
Oroville Hospital for injuries re
lated to the crash: a police officer
who suffered from smoke inhala
tion and a 34-year-old woman
who was knocked down by the
blast.
Twin abortion debate
leaves courtroom
3 LONDON — A debate on the
abortion of a healthy twin by a
financially-strapped mother
moved out of the courtroom
Wednesday but continued to rage
among doctors, legislators, the
clergy and ordinary Britons.
An anti-abortion group with
drew an injunction against the
abortion after learning that it had
already taken place.
But the repercussions were far
from over: The obstetrician who
misled the media by indicating
the woman had not yet under
gone the procedure faced an in
quiry into his actions.
A front-page Sunday Express
story about the 28-year-old single
mother’s plight brought in
$77,000 in cash offers for the
woman to change her mind.
In it, her obstetrician, Phillip
Bennett, was quoted as saying the
woman already had one child
and was seeking to abort one of
her twins because she could not
afford two more children.
But within hours of a court
hearing to prevent the abortion,
Hammersmith Hospitals Trust re
vealed it had already been per
formed .
