B-8 Chronicle- Tribune, Marion, Indiana Thursday, Jan. 17, 1985 Former keepers of the laws now making them Among the eager freshmen entering Congress this year are two former county sher-. iffs who prefer quick action to debate and who have gone to jail rather than compromise. Either the House of Representatives will have to change or Reps. James A.
Traficant and Tommy Robinson will. Traficant, D-Ohio, is.a local folk hero who, as Mahoning County sheriff, tangled with and bested drug dealers, the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and the mayor of Youngstown. The tough-talking Traficant, acting as his own lawyer, won acquittal in a 1983 bribery case brought after federal agents made tape recordings of 'mobsters giving him $163,000. Robinson, gained national notice when he left six prisoners handcuffed to a state prison fence in 1981 because officials delayed in inmates from his crowded Pulaski County lockup. Neither man is accustomed to sub- mitting ideas to a committee.

If history is any guide, both former sheriffs should enliven floor debate.
Robinson once publicly called an Arkansas state senator "a Ninth Street pimp," suggesting that the legislator should be working on a Little. Rock street known for its prostitution. In 1981, he alarmed county officials when he drew his pistol and arrested a youth who made an obscene gesture at him. When he was sheriff, Traficant said that almost every public official in Mahoning County was controlled by organized crime. He arrested the mayor of Youngstown when funds were missing from the county airport's account.
And when Traficant, 44, defended himself at his 1983 bribery trial, federal Judge. Ann Aldrich frequently scolded him for using profanity and villifying his accusers in court. Traficant got to Congress by ousting incumbent Republican Rep. Lyle Williams. Although Arkansas' Robinson has moderated his tough-guy image after 16 years in law enforcement, colorful episodes from his public life have followed him to Capitol Hill.

The case collapsed when he and his deputies said they lost the drugs that were to be used as evidence. Also in 1982, Robinson was jailed in Memphis for contempt of court after he arrested the county judge and county comptroller for refusing to allocate more money to the sheriff's of fice. He was" arrested again for "frivo-lous prosecution" after he twice arrested a prominent lawyer in connection with the. murder, of the.
lawyer's wife. "The news media consider me flamboyant because I don't mind telling you how I feel about something," Robinson said. "I understand the protocol and rules of the House. I'll show respect, but I intend to keep my independence." In winning the House seat vacated AMISHLAND by Republican Ed Bethune, Robinson failed to win a majority of votes among residents of Little Rock and its suburbs. He is extraordinarily popular, however, in working class areas of Pulaski County and the seven mostly rural counties that surround Pulaski.
Like Robinson, Traficant has spent some time behind bars. In 1982, he was jailed for contempt when he refused to process mortgage foreclosures against hard-hit factory workers and farmers in his county.
