Man Is Killed In Petersburg Times-Dispatch State Staff PETERSBURG City police continued their search yesterday for a man they believe shot an insurance agent to death late Friday as he sat in his car near the downtown business district.
A police spokesman said Robert David Sweat, 55, of Prince George County, an agent with Beneficial Insurance was found slumped over the steering wheel by a city patrolman. The car was near Squaw Alley and Grove Avenue. Police said Sweat had been shot in the right side, apparently with a handgun.

Call collect 717-367-1301 Police Academy Closing Possible, Official Says VIRGINIA BEACH (UPI) Threatened with a cutoff of federal funds for law enforcement programs, a state official said yesterday he is prepared to close two of Virginia's 10 police academies.
"We realized that the federal money wouldn't last forever," said Raymond H. Geisen, director of the Criminal Justice Services Committee, referring to a 1978 state report that forecast a decline in federal funds for Virginia law enforcement agencies. Geisen did not indicate which academies might be closed, and left open the possibility of additional shutdowns. "We 'are examining each regional academy and have asked them to submit a budget," Geisen said. "We're going to look at them with a sharp pencil and start cutting back to see what we need to do to keepquality police training." Earlier yesterday, state Sen.
Stanley Walker, chairman of the State Crime Commission, said Virginia stands to lose $9.5 million in funds from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, under budget cuts proposed by the White House.

Harris, director of the Division of Justice and Crime Prevention, said Friday he estimated that Virginia was threatened with the loss of $8 million in LEAA funds.
Geisen said he had been told by aides to President Carter that the White House and Congress don't support the continuation of LEAA funds. To offset the loss of federal funds in the 1980-82 biennium, the General Assembly appropriated $660,000 for police academies, Geisen said. But Geisen said the state money probably would be used in the second year of the biennium, leaving open the question of financing in the first year. Geisen said he hoped localities would be able to contribute 40 percent of the funds necessary to operate the academies. The State Bureau of Forensic Science is also feeling the budgetary pinch, director Warren G.
Johnson told the crime commission, meeting at this resort city. He said the General Assembly had rejected a bureau proposal for an on-scene crime investigation program. But the legislature authorized the bureau to train police officers in crime-scene skills, arguing such a move was "more cost effective," Johnson said. Lt. Gov.
Charles S. Robb recommended the state's localities begin crime-fighting programs modeled after one in Fairfax County. The "Crime Solvers' program, started in October 1979. offers rewards to anonymous callers who provide information leading to the arrest and indictment of felons. Robb, who lives in Northern Virginia, said the program has led to the successful investigation of 73 felonies and the arrests of 24 suspects, including three fugitives.
While the program has paid $2,960 in rewards, it has led to the recovery of more than 000 in stolen property, Robb said. Navy May Begin Sailor Exchange NORFOLK (AP) The Navy, in an effort to solve shipboard manpower shortages, reportedly is considering an experiment involving borrowing people from two Norfolk-based vessels to make a third for combat. If the plan begins and officials expect it will the recipient ship would be ready more quickly than under the Navy's current method of distributing personnel. However, of the two ships from which personnel would be borrowed, one would have enough sailors remaining only for operations close to home and the other would be bound to the pier, the Norfolk VirginianPilot reported in today's editions. The experiment would involve the frigates Ainsworth, Thomas C.
Hart and Donald B. Beary, the newspaper said. If it works, the system could then be tried with other ships. Even though the plan would bring one ship up to necessary standards, it would cut the number of vessels the Navy could send overseas. The service already has fewer active ships, about 500, than at any time since before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The experiment probably will begin by this fall, the newspaper said, although high-ranking sources concede that details might change. Navy officials from Norfolk last week briefed Adm. Thomas B. Hayward, the chief naval operations, on the concept, which is also referred to as a selective manning experiment. Indications are that a final decision will be made in Norfolk rather than Washington.
Use Diplomacy, U.S. Is Urged CHARLOTTESVILLE -The United States must strengthen its diplomatic efforts as well as its military presence in the Persian Gulf region, according to a University of Virginia authority on Middle Eastern affairs. Dr. R.K. Ramazani, chairman of the university's Woodrow Wilson Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, warns in a study titled "The Genesis of the Carter Doctrine" that military force should "support rather than replace The so-called Carter Doctrine, contained in the president's Jan.
23 State of the Union address, said that outside attempts to control the Persian Gulf region would constitute an assault on the vital interests of the United States and would be met with military force if necessary. The president's statement followed the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Iran and the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Stronger Relations Dr. Ramazani, Iranian native with U.S.
citizenship, said the United States mustseek stronger diplomatic ties with both Western European allies and the Persian Gulf states themselves. "Above all, the United States will need to convince the regional states that the American military buildup is not intended to be used against them. "Rather it is to defend their independence and ensure the uninterrupted flow of their oil supplies, which, we believe, are goals in keeping with the protection of vital interests of the United States and other industrial democracies." Dr. Ramazani said the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis had a greater effect on the president's policy than the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. "Iran had always been accorded a greater strategfc significance than Afghanistan in the calculation of American interests in the Middle East before the outbreak of the two crises." he said..
