John Jenrette's Abscam trial he made a "mistake" in earlier testimony about his undercover bribery investigation of Jenrette and his co-defendent. But Jenrette's attorney, Kenneth Robinson, charged agent Anthony Amoroso with lying about his failure to tape -record a key telephone call in the case. ROBINSON POINTED out during cross-examination of the agent that Amoroso, who offered Jenrette a bribe, testified last week there was no equipment available to tape a call with co-defendant John Stowe, when in fact, there was.

Roger Elrod, chief of police in Woodbury, said he placed Warta on indefinite suspension "until the freesboro, was on his way home from work on Halls Hill Pike a about 11 p.m. Tuesday when he picked up a 20-year-old woman hitchhiker, according to authorities here. "He was in uniform, in his private vehicle, when he picked her up," said Sgt. David Grisham of the Rutherford County sheriff's office.

Grisham quoted the victim as saying she became suspicious when the officer pulled his truck onto Kittrell Road, then onto a gravel road. Warta parked the vehicle and allegedly tried to rape the woman, the sergeant said. "SHE FOUGHT him and got away," Grisham said, adding that the woman said her assailant did not try to follow. The woman ran to a house on Kittrell Road and called the sheriff's office shortly after midnight, officers said. District attorney general's investigator Randy Galloway, Murfreesboro police officer Anita Davis and Grisham the home to talk to the woman, authorities said.

BASED ON the victim's description of the man and the truck, they went to the home of Warta at 918 Velma Lane and he agreed to appear in a police lineup, Grisham said. The woman picked Warta out of a seven-man lineup yesterday afternoon. The suspect was not charged immediately but was placed in custody of his attorney, Richard Rucker. Warta, who could not be reached for comment, was arrested at 5:25 p.m. and released under $2,500 bond.

He is scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court here next Thursday for a preliminary hearing. RUCKER DECLINED to comment on the case.

Strom Thurmond, Amoroso testified last week there was no equipment available in Atlantic City to record a Nov. 15 telephone conversation between FBI informant Melvin Weinberg and Stowe about investing Arab money in a South Carolina munitions factory. ROBINSON MAINTAINS that call was the FBI's first contact with Stowe after the FBI decided to "target" Jenrette in its Abscam probe in which agents posed as representatives of a ficticious Arab sheik seeking special favors from politicians. Last week, Amoroso said there would have too much of a security risk to have tape recording equipment around a hospitality suite set up in an Atlantic City hotel by the FBI to make contact with New Jersey politicians and businessmen. But recalled to the witness stand yesterday, Amoroso acknowledged there were recorders used to tape conversations in the suite, although there were no devices to bug a phone call.

"I'M TALKING about lying under oath," Robinson said to him during questioning. "No, I didn't," Amoroso said. Later, Amoroso said he had been confused when he failed to testify there had been recordings. "OK, OK I made a mistake," Amoroso said. Earlier, a tape recording played to the jury in U.S.

District Court showed that Stowe assured Weinberg that Thurmond would take a bribe to sponsor a private immigration bill for the alleged sheik. But Stowe explained to Weinberg that Thurmond wanted to do it quietly to "protect himself all the way LAST WEEK, Thurmond testi fied he would never take any money to introduce legislation, and had never been approached by Stowe or Jenrette about it. He called Jenrette a "lying skunk" for telling undercover agents he could be bought. As. the trial entered its third week, the government played recordings of discussions between Stowe or Jenrette with Weinberg more than a month after Stowe picked up $50,000 for Jenrette.

LAST JAN. 25, Jenrette assured Weinberg that Thurmond would meet with him, but would not talk specifically about the payoff. He. said he would arrange to get a hotel room for the discussion. Earlier, Stowe told Weinberg that Thurmond would do anything to help him.

"Now this guy is not doin' it for a favor for John," Weinberg said. "He will take the money or what?" Thermal Pollution Unit Gets DOE Grant GALLATIN The Sumner County Resource Authority has received a $250,000 Department of Energy grant for an experimental pollution control system for the $10 million garbage-to-power facility under construction here, officials said yesterday, The grant marks DOE's first financial commitment to the project and is evidence that the technology being used here, first in the nation, is now being taken seriously by the federal agency, according to project engineer Glenn Swinehart. "WHEN WE FIRST got started about five years ago, TVA gave $90,000 for a feasibility study but DOE didn't take us seriously at all," said Swinehart, vice president Sanders and Thomas Engineers. Since then, TVA provided a $2 million low-interest loan towards construction and the Economic Development Agency provided a $1.5 million grant. Several studies have been conducted on the practicality of the technology, which is in use in Japan, and the plant is expected to pay for itself.

The facility will burn solid waste, nearly eliminating the need for a sanitary landfill in Sumner County, to produce 45,000 pounds of steam per hour. The steam is fed to turbine generators, which produce 500 kilowatts of electricity for sale to TVA, and then is routed to three nearby industries to replace industrial steam now created by burn- small amount of unburnable materials that are a part of the county's wastes, the slag from the burning process and particulate matter from the burning. The slag and unburnable trash will need to be buried in a landfill, and the $250,000 DOE system will be installed to eliminate air pollution from the particulate. "Nashville Thermal has electrostatic precipitators to do that job, and filtering systems, are widely used "HE'LL TAKE the money, right," Stowe said. "But he isn't going to be specific about it.

He's gonna protect himself all the way In another conversation, Stowe told Weinberg that Thurmond could be paid after he introduced the legislation. "He wants it, sure, but he will do it and trust ya for it because he doesn't want anything no, he's not taking any chances," Stowe said. Start Seen Soon IOn New $6 Million Air Control Tower Construction could begin as early as next week on the new $6 million air control tower at Metro Airport, the executive director of the Airport Authority said yesterday. "The construction company has to be mobilized and occupy the construction site by Sept. 20," said Jim Graham, executive director.

THE 168-FOOT tower, expected to be completed in April 1982, will replace the present 60-foot control tower which Graham said was obsolete. "This new tower allows actual visibility of all operational areas of the field," Graham said. "The present tower has some blind spots in it." The contract award was announced in Atlanta by Louis Cardinali, Federal Avaiation- Administration's southern director. The contract was awarded to Batteast Construction Co. of South Bend, Ind.

GRAHAM SAID Batteast received its state general contract license yesterday. Batteast will subcontract a jority of the project to two Nashville companies, Harlan Electric Co. and Rock City Piping Contractors, Inc. Actual construction costs are only $3.2 million, but the building will house over $3 million in electronic equipment. PROJECT FUNDING comes from an FAA trust account that is used to upgrade control towers across the nation, Graham said.

Although not a part of the $100 million expansion plan being considered for the airport, Graham said the tower would be located for incorporation in the airport's future plans. A new terminal location near the Interstate 40 and Donelson Pike interchange is expected to be completed in 1985. THE TOWER WILL be located across the field from the present 26-year-old tower and will be located adjacent to Big Brother Aviation. Graham said no decison has been made on future use of the present tower, but said use as a securityviewing tower is being studied. small way.

"The system we are getting will be the first to combine Completion of construction is expected between July and September next year, depending on the weather, according to Louis Oliver, city manager of Hendersonville and newly-elected chairman of the Sumner County Resources Authority.

THE AUTHORITY was created by the General Assembly and includes two representatives from Hendersonville, two from Gallatin and three from the countyy atlarge, in accordance with a formula for financial backing of the plant should it prove unprofitable in the future. "We recently received $6.5 million in interim financing from the First Tennessee Bank," Oliver said yesterday, "and we are in the process of working out our long-term bonding arrangement, which will be through the use of revenue bonds." Initially, the plant was expected to cost $5 million, but inflation has pushed the price up to $10 million. "BUT WHILE construction costs have doubled, the cost of energy has quadrupled," Swinehart said, "and that makes the plant even that more attractive." He credited TVA with convincing DOE to participate in the project, even though the participation comes late and in a relatively Franklin, Tn. BOAZ, Lowell BrownAge 74, Sept. 17, 1980.
