Suit Alleges Retaliation Over Whistleblowing in Agriculture Service
James P. Jones, a former high ranking Texas official in the USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, says he was moved from Texas to Washington after filing a sexual harassment complaint. He seeks reinstatement and damages in federal court. Charles Mayfield, suspended 30 days for harassment and vehicle abuse, was appointed by Reagan to a political post in 1981 after Jones had long served in a non political role.

Audit Finds Waste in Camp Pendleton Special Services
An audit of Camp Pendleton's Special Services unit covering October to June found improper actions and waste of funds. The $5.9 million budget shows a $5,000 civilian loan, civilians taking government cars home, and instructors taking fees. A $5,000 loan for a mini race car concession went unpaid by $551, listed as bad debt, while the base recreation fund shows a $154,280 nine month net loss and salaries $114,030 over budget.
