[--“First Amendment rights are tramniea. ‘ every day in this country,” said Mr. Polur, ‘who declared that the “American people “have a right to know.” , dudge Thomsen adhered to his ruling, ‘and told Mr. Polur that he would not allow _ the use of the Justice Department report . “to provide discovery in your civil suit.” ! Mr. Harrison said he was not suggest- ' ing a “veil of secrecy, but only protection” until it has been determined whether Ag- new violated probation. He said he has known Agnew for 40 ‘years, He said Agnew “didn’t run from * panzer divisions at Bastogne, and he won't run from Mr. Polur.” The lawyer said Ag- new will meet Mr. Polur’s suit directly in court. ; - Agnew has announced that he plans to sell his home near Annapolis and move to Palm Springs, Calif., next spring. ‘ eee’ Thomsen said that if Mr. Polur’s allegations are proved either in the civil case or through some other means, the cotrt miglit be justified in considering some action on Agnew’s probation. But he, said that, with the exception of a refer- ence to Agnew’s disbarment, the charges Mr. Polur makes are “mere allegations” at present. The judge said that, even though Judge Hoffman did not require appointment of a probation officer in°Agnew’s case—and though any allegations of violations would be investigated that way normally—a court can act on information brought to it from any source, and for that reason he di- rected the Justice Department to investi- gate. In addition to Mr. Polur’s suit in U.S. District Court, there is another suit pend- ing against Agnew in Anne Arundel county Circuit Court. Three Montgomery county residents have filed suit against Agnew and his former associates, Jerome -B. Wolff and I. H. (Bud) Hammerman 2d, | charging that they defrauded the state-of * $80,000 in a kickback scheme during Ag- " new’s temas governor from 1982101989.
