County Stepping Up Efforts To Collect Taxes

By STUART SAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer Its that time again for Pitt County property owners time to pay 1987 property tax bills before interest starts on Jan 6, and almost time to begin listing property for 1988 tax purposes.

Bill Smith, the countys tax collector, said this morning that property owners will have to start paying interest on tax bills that are not paid by the close of business on Jan. 5.

I want to make the public more aware that were going to start

earlier than usual taking legal means such as garnishment of wages to collect taxes after the interest period begins, Smith said. Were going to start taking legal means to collect taxes earlier, and start advertising earlier.

According to Smith, in past years his office has been advertising tax liens in the newspaper in May. But Smith said, in 1988, Were going to start advertising in the paper the first week in March.

So to avoid a late-payment penalty, having wages garnisheed or having

your name appear in tax lien ads, pay your taxes before Jan. 6, Smith said.

Tax Assessor Jimmie Hardee said that as Jan. 1 is a holiday, tax listing will begin Jan. 4. Hardee said anyone owning real or personal property in the county is required by law to list the property for tax purposes during the listing period.

Hardee said the listing period will end on Feb. 1, because the last day of January falls on a Sunday. Property owners not listing their property for taxes before mi^ght Feb. 1 will

face a 10 percent late listing penalty.

Hardee, who said the 15 listing places (one in each township) will remain open a half-day each Saturday during January to make it easier for people working weekdays to list their peroperty, sail all listing places will be elided on Jan. 18 in observance of the Martin Luther King Holiday.

Hardee said some 40,000 mail abstracts will be mailed Dec. 31 to those property owners who list by mail. If you dont receive your mail

abstract, within the first week or so in January, come in and list, Hardee said. Property owners are still required to list.

Once you receive your mail abstract, go ahead and fill it out and return it to the tax assessors office, Hardee suggested. If mail abstracts are not postmarked before midnight Feb. 1, Hardee said a 10 percent penalty will be charged.

For those people who dont list by mail, Hardee urged, Come in and list early and avoid the last-minute rush.

New values for property in the county will be placed on the tax books effective Jan. 1 as part of a revaluation program, Hardee said. Abstracts will have a tentative value on them, but they are subject to change.

Notices of the new value will be sent to property owners throughout the county the last of January. Dont call the tax office about the values on the abstracts, Hardee asked. Wait until you receive the notice the latter part of January.

Crippling Snowstorm Hits Plains, Midwest

more than seven hours. Snow covered much of the Plains area today as winter storms sloshed their way eastward across the nation. (AP Laserphoto)

By MICHAEL HIRSH Associated Press Writer

A slow-moving snowstorm that paralyzed Denver and stranded holiday travelers headed east today and whipped the Midwest with snow, while continued flooding kept thousands of Arkansas and Tennessee residents from their homes.

The snowstorm dumped up to 34 inches of snow Sunday in the foothills on the western edge of the Plains, shutting Denvers airport for the first time since 1983 and closing interstate highways in Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado.

The separate weather system that started the flooding last week also spread ice on highways on the southern Plains. Three Tennessee deaths were blamed on the flooding and icy roads contributed to at least 10 traffic deaths in Kansas and Oklahoma.

We wanted a white Christmas, but not this white, said Anne Ayres, 27, of Sarasota, Fla., one of thousands stranded at Stapleton International Airport for Vh. hours.

One runway was reopened late Sunday early this morning and airport official Richard Boulware said crews hoped to reopen others today. He said only about 500 travelers remained at the airport early today.

An estimated 25,000 diehards made it to Denvers Mile High Stadium and braved snow and wind that made it feel like 23 below zero to watch the Broncos shut out the San Diego Chargers, 24-0.

Only in Denver can this sort of thing happen, said Jeff Cook of Atlanta, one of the travelers stranded at Stapleton. You have a blizzard

closing the airport but they go ahead and play football anyway.

Up to a foot of snow fell today in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and snow with sleet and freezing rain arrived in parts of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. As the storm headed east, winter storm watches were posted from Ohio to southern New England, the National Weather Service said.

Behind the storm, freezing temperatures damaged many flowers destined for floats in the New Years Day Rose Parade.

Authorities in Millington, Tenn., and nearby West Memphis, Ark., ventured into flood-stricken areas

Sunday to assess damage, but lingering water swollen by more than a foot of rain since Wednesday slowed their progress.

Most of the 3,200 evacuees in Mill-ingon and 450 in West Memphis had yet to return home, officials said.

Theres mud all over everywhere, theyre getting cars towed, fences are down, said Ruby Smith of Millington. People cant go back to their houses. A lot of people lost everything. So its a bad sight down here in some parts.

About 1,000 homes in West Memphis suffered flood damage, and about 95 of them had major damage (See SNOW, A-8)

Tax Forms Going To Postal Boxes

If youve been venturing out to your mailbox these last few weeks looking for Christmas cards from friends, this week you can look for a post-holiday something from Uncle Sam.

Postal workers in Greenville are gearing up to deliver, beginning today, approximately 15,000 to 20,000 federal tax forms to be distributed to Greenvilles tax-paying citizens, according to Van Vandyke, superintendent of postal operations in Greenville.

The tax forms should all be distributed within the next three to four days, he said.

In addition to tax forms, Vandyke

said mail carriers will be delivering a lot of third class business mail, advertisers and catalogues.

Its normal to have an increase in third class business mail this time of year, he said. I would imagine third class mail will remain heavy through the middle of January.

Vandyke added that the volume of Parcel Post mail, which increases dramatically during December, has already dropped drastically, and the volume of first class mail has also returned to normal.

Vandyke said Greenville mail delivery during the weeks leading up to Christmas went without problems and delays.

Social Security's Benefits And Taxes Increasing Under New Regulations

Rain Causing Few ProbJems

WASHINGTON (AP) - Social Security payroll deductions go up this week, as do benefit checks, in a little New Years gift from the government.

The increase will boost the tax rate to 7.51 percent from 7,15 percent. It means employees will pay an extra $36 to Social Security from each $10,000 they earn.

A worker who paid $2,000 in payroll taxes on $27,972 in wages in 1987 will have to pay $2,100 in payroll taxes on the same amount of earnings in 1988 a 5 percent increase. Employers must pay the same.

Happy New Year, Social Security Commissioner Dorcas R. Hardy said jokingly about the imj^nding tax increase in a recent interview.

The bite is even steeper for the self-employed, who will pay 13.02 percent next year, up from a 12.3 percent rate in 1987.

The self-employed pay the combined employee-employer tax rate, minus a 2 percent credit that will disappear after 1989.

Workers also will pay the tax on income up to $45,000; the cutoff in 1987 was $43,800.

While the 126 million workers

covered by the program will have to dig a little deeper in 1988, the systems 38 million beneficiaries will find a 4.2 percent cost-of-living increase in their monthly checks this week.

Those checks will show up in mailboxes - or be credited directly to beneficiaries bank accounts on Thursday, New Years Eve, three days early because of the holiday weekend.

The maximum tax on an employee earning $43,800 in 1987 was $3,131.70. The tax on that same amount in 1988 will be $3,289.38, or $157.68 more. An employee earning $45,000 will pay

$3,379.50, or $247.80 more than the maximum this year. That mounts to a 7.9 percent increase at the top.

The maximum tax on a self-employed worker making $43,000 in 1987 was $5,387.40. The tax on that same amount in 1988 will be $5,702.76. The maximum tax, on earnings of $45,000 or more, will be $5,859 in 1988 an increase of $471.60, or 8.8 percent.

The payroll tax was 1 percent on income up to $3,000 when Social Security started-in 1937. It stayed that way until 1950 and has risen every few years since then.

Although todays rain made cool temperatures seem even colder, it created few problems in Pitt County although snow flurries are in the forecast for the Piedmont and areas north of Greenville tonight.

Rain normally doesnt give us any problems in the Greenville Utilities electrical system, Roger Jones, director of electric systems at GUC, said. Instead, problems usually arrive with ice build up on lines and tree limbs, he said.

The rain also has not caused flooding, Mayo Allen of the Greenville Public Works Department said Its come down in such a slow rate,

we havent had any flooding. But, well be out checking catch basins to remove any fallen leaves.

Flights at the Pitt-Greenville Airport were on schedule with no plans for delays, Beverly Wall of Piedmont Commuter said.

On the ground, there have been a few minor accidents but nothing major, according to A.J. Jone$, dispatcher for the N.C. Highway Patrol.

The GUC water plant recorded .36 inches of rain over the weekend in north Greenville. The Tar River

Gaza Lawyers Boycotting Trials

JERUSALEM (AP) - Lawyers in the occupied Gaza Strip boycotted military court sessions for a second day today and claimed the 800 Palestinians arrested during violent clashes with the Israeli military would not get a fair trial.

Defense attorneys in the occupied West Bank said they might join the boycott and accused Israeli authorities of mistreating their clients.

The lawyers are zero. The court imposes what it deems fit, said Faiz Abu Rahma, one of 300 Palestinian defense attorney from Gaza who

joined the boycott. The penalties are too high, and there is no use appearing.

Abu Rahma said his clients were mistreated. They are beaten or are hungry and they are freezing from the cold, he said in a telephone interview. Some are in tents. Others are in barracks which have no windows,

In the only violence reported today, a Jewish resident of the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba was stabbed and lightly wounded as he alighted from a taxi in the predominantly

Arab section of the Jerusalem, Israel radio reported.

Police were seeking the assailant. Lines of handcuffed prisoners were herded into makeshift courtrooms at, military camps on Sunday and were charged with rioting in the occupied territories. The Israeli military has killed at least 21 Palestinians during the clashes that started Dec. 8. No Israeli soldiers have been slain.

Army officials said they did not know the exact number of trials completed Sunday or the range of sentences imposed.

But in the West Bank city of

Nablus, the court gave one defendant eight months in prison and a two-year suspended sentence for throwing a stone that hit the tire of an Israeli car, said Nablus lawyer Ad-nan Abulaila.

Two defendants were sentenced to 2>* months each for participating in a demonstration, and a l6-year-oldwho was shot in the legs during the protests received six weeks in jail and a $200 fine.

The riots occurred in the West Bank, between Israel and Jordan,

Home Sales Fall Off In November

OFF FOR VACATION President Reagan reached for a golf bail after bouncing it on the ground as he and Mrs. Reagan departed the White House Sunday. They were en route to Los Angeles for the New Year and a vacation at their California ranch. (AP Laserphoto)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sales of existing homes fell 4.5 percent in November, the biggest drop in five months, as the collapse in stock prices in October apparently dampened home-buying enthusiasm, a real estate trade group said today.

The National Association of Realtors said its monthly survey found that existing single-family homes were sold at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.41 million units last month after increases of 3.5 percent in October and 1.2 percent in September.

It was the biggest monthly decline in sales since a 7.2 percent drop in June.

The price of existing homes declined as well, dropping $6()0 to a nationwide average of $84,2(X) in November. That price was still 4.7 percent higher than a year ago.

Analysts blamed the setback in sales on both higher mortgage rates and jitters over the record drop in stock prices on Oct. 19.

"Todays report reflects a wait-and-see attitude on the part of buyers in the wake of Octobers stock market crash and fluctuating mor-

tgage interest rates, said Nestor R. Weigand Jr., a Wichita, Kan., Realtor and president of the association.

Mortgage rates have been on a roller-coaster in the past few months, rising sharply just before the stock market crash only to decline in the weeks immediately after the crash. Rates have once again started rising in the past three weeks.

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. said that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages averaged 10.69 percent last week, up from 10.55 percent on Nov. 27.

John Tuccillo, chief economist of the association, said he expected further declines in home sales in the months ahead.

It was fairly obvious as we entered the fourth quarter that housing was beginning to slump, he said. We have just come through the best two years for existing home sales of this decade and during that period we soaked up a lot of housing demand.

All regions of the country posted sales declines in November. Sales were down 6.3 percent in the West to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of

600.000 units. Sales fell 4.3 percent in the Northeast to an annual rate of

660.000 units while sales in the Midwest dropped 4.3 percent to an annual rate of 880,000.

Officer C.J. Melvin said a television set was taken from 1806A W. Third St. in a break-in reported at 12:33 a.m. Sunday, while Officer J.G. Bridges said a bicycle was taken from the intersection of 14th and Fleming streets in, an incident reported at 2:02 p.m.

Officer W.E. Davis said a go-cart valued at $500 was taken from 109 Pennsylvania Ave. in a break-in reported at 3:43 p.m., while Officer R.G. Mendenhall said a microwave oven, a video cassette recorder, a stereo receiver and gold chain, with a combined value of $1,360, were rei;x)rted taken from 207B Riverbluff Drive in a break-in reported at 4:15 p.m.

Mendenhall also reported that two doors and hinge bolts were taken from a van at Hastings Ford on East 10th Street in an incident reported at 9:24 p.m., while Officer R.L. Smith said a camera and case valued at $370 and $10 worth of Christmas ornaments were taken from a vehicle parked in a lot at The Plaza mall in an incident reported at 10:34 p.m.

Department will conduct curbside pickup service for all of Greenville. No backyard service will be performed on Thursday.

Allen said residents can place all their trash or garbage curreide on Thursday and it will picked up by the departments garbage trucks.

No garbage, trash, or container collection will be performed on Friday, New Years Day.

"Well have this town clean for New Years Day, he said.

Allen said the sanitation department will resume their normal collection schedule next week.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - President Reagan is starting a week-long California vacation with allergy and hearing checkups before heading to a private New Years celebration at a plush desert estate.

The president and his wife, Nancy, flew to Los Angeles on Sunday aboard Air Force One after celebrating a quiet Christmas in Washington.

The respite will be a pretty standard kind of holiday working week, spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told reporters as the Reagans flew west.

The president also issued his annual statement Sunday on the anniversary of the 1979 Soviet incursion in Afghanistan, demanding the Soviets make their deeds match their words and turn statements about ]X)ssible troop withdrawals into a lirm timetable.

The president planned to work on his final State of the Union address during the California vacation, but the emphasis appeared to be on rest and relaxation.

The Reagans planned to be out of the public eye for most of the trip, and the presidents chief of staff, Howard H. Baker Jr., and national security adviser, Colin Powell, were not scheduled to join the president until midweek.

While in California, Reagan will get his daily national security briefing on paper, rather than being personally briefed by aides, Fitzwater said.

A date for Reagans annual address to Congress has not been announced. It will be his seventh State of the Union message and the final one upon which his administration

Body Found

CHICAGO (AP) - The body of a woman was found buried in concrete in the basement of an apartment building, police said today.

The body was wrapped in plastic, said Officer Michael Charnota.

The owner of the building called police about the concrete late Sunday, Charnota said.

"There was a fresh patch of cement, Charnota said. "They broke the concrete and found the body, which was taken to the Cook County Morgue.

The woman may have been dead three or four weeks, officials said.

Police did not have an identity for the woman, and Charnota said he did not know if there were any suspects in her death.

will be able to act.

If he follows the custom of most former presidents, he will deliver a summing-up just before he leaves office in January 1989.

Fitzwater said Reagans physicians were to visit his penthouse suite at the Century Plaza Hotel today for the medical examinations. Allergist Ralph Bookman and audiologist John House, Reagans long-time doctors, will conduct the examinations, Fitzwater said.

Reagan, whg wears two hearing aides and suffers from chronic allergy problems, undergoes such tests annually while on a California trip.

The Reagans son, Ron, and his wife, Doria, also were scheduled to pay a daytime visit to the couple in their hotel.

But contrary to past practice, no gala nights out were on the Reagans Los Angeles agenda.

On Tuesday, they fly to Palm Springs for a five-day visit at the 205-acre estate of publisher Walter An-nenberg.

The annual get-together is highlighted by a private, black tie New Years soiree that includes many of the Reagans long-time California and Hollywood acquaintances.

The president typically plays his only round of golf of the year at a private course on the Annenberg estate, and he clutched a golf ball in his hand Sunday as he and the first lady strode across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter.

A reporter shouted, Mr. President, whats your New Years resolution? Reagan responded by carefully bouncing the golf ball once on the pavement, smiling and waving.

The only public appearance scheduled during the trip is a brief talk at the opening of the Bob Hope Cultural Center in Palm Springs on Jan. 2.

Annenberg is a 79-year-old multimillionaire philanthropist and owner of Triangle Publications, which publishes TV Guide, Seventeen and the Daily Racing Form. He was ambassador to Britain during the Nixon administration.

The Annenberg estate, Sun-nylands, boasts an art collection valued in 1983 at $200 million, including what Thomas Hoving, former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, described as some of the finest Van Goghs, Renoirs, Cezannes, Monets and Gauguins extant.

Before returning to Washington on Jan. 3, the president is expected to act on a number of bills passed bv

REAL ESTATE FACTS

MASS MOBILIZATION!

When you decide to sell you home, wouldn't it be nice if you could choose every real estate agent in the area to represent you instead of just one? Just imagine, the entire real estate sales population would be working to sell your home, all at once.

But, wait! Did you Know that by choosing the right "one" agent, that you may be getting the attention and sales efforts of "an" active sales agents in the area? Heres why!

The real estate business has changed quite a bit over recent years from a "selling to a "marketing" business. By choosing a "marketing" oriented real estate agent to represent you, you can benefit from your homes exposure to a much higher percentage of the buying public. The more exposure your home receives, the better the chances of a fast sale, and of receiving the highest possible price for your home.

In the past, when "selling" methods were used, your agent made every effort to sell the home ,for you, through his or her own efforts. But, under the "marketing philosophy, a good agent will make every effort to "cause" your home to sell, by mobilizing the entire population of local agents. This is accomplished by putting information about your home into the hands of all active agents so that their buyers also have the opportunity to purchase your home. The more buyers who see your home, the better your chances of a sale. Select your agent carefully.

I can do a professional market analysis that fakes 3 to 5 hours of my time. If youre considering hiring me to manage and market the sale of your property. I'd be happy to do that. Just call me at 756-2121. .....

Airlines Imposing Tighter Rules On Baggage

By H. JOSEF HEBERT Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A warning to holiday air travelers:

That overstuffed garment bag you managed to drag aboard the plane before Christmas wont be welcome if you return after New Years. And dont even think about sneaking on board the plane the lamp your mother gave you.

The airlines are imposing tighter carry-on baggage rules on New Years Day, with most carriers limiting passengers to two pieces of luggage if they are small enough to go under a seat, fit in an overhead bin or hang in a cabin closet.

The new restrictions, long sought by airline flight attendants, were im-

U.S. May See Rise In Exports

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States has a good chance of expanding its share of a growing world import demand for food and other farm products by the turn of the century, according to an Agriculture Department trade expert.

A growth in the worlds population, more monej%in circulation and even the change of the United States into a debtor nation are some of the reasons cited by Dewain Rahe, director of the trade and information division of the departments Foreign Agricultural Service.

Overall, I think we can anticipate a fairly sizable expansion in foreign demand for agricultural products over the next 10 or 12 years, Rahe said. Certainly, we are in a strong competitive sitution right now.

Rahe said the U.S. dollars value has declined against foreign currencies by nearly a third since March 1985, helping make U.S. products much more competitive overseas.

Also, he said in the Janua^ issue of the agencys Foreign Agriculture magazine, U.S. domestic farm programs have lowered prices for many of the key commodities. If prices remain competitive, Rahe said American farmers will be in a good positionto expand sales.

Finally, the shift in the U.S. position from a creditor to a debtor nation also could serve to bolster our agricultural exports, he said. Countries with a surplus of dollars are going to spend those dollars at some point.

Rahe added, What better way to spend those dollars than on U.S. agricultural products especially if they are available at competitive prices because of our farm programs and the value of the dollar.

But Rahe cautioned that U.S. exporters cant expect to have the world market handed to them on a silver platter, because the competition wUl be tough.

As to which countries and regions of the world offer the greatest opportunities, Rahe said it depends mostly on the products involved.

poised by the Federal Aviation Administration to assure that carry-on bags do not pose a safety hazard.

F^ewer carry-on bags also are expected to ease pressure on security checkpoints at a time when the effectiveness of airport security programs has come under criticism.

The FAA left it up to the airlines to determine how many bags may be brought aboard by passengers and how large they may be as long as they can be stored safely.

The agency has approved each of the airline baggage control programs, and FAA spokesman Bob Buckhorn said compliance with the new rules is expected among the airlines.

Some initial complications may arise because the restrictions come at the close of a major holiday travel period. But other than that I think it will be implemented smoothly, Buckhorn said in an interview last week.

For the first time, all carriers must screen carry-on items closely before passengers board an aircraft, and each item must be stowed safely in designated areas before the planes door can be closed. All other items not suitable for the cabin must be checked and put into the cargo area of the plane.

'The airlines for several months have been developing criteria to be used in determining how many bags

may be taken aboard the aircraft by passengers and what items will be considered too large.

A model program developed by the FAA and distributed by the Air Transport Association for guidance suggests that generally no more than two bags per person should be allowed into the aircraft cabin, although the number could be increased, depending on how full the plane is.

The two-bag limit also does not include such additional items as a pocketbook or purse, overcoat, umbrella, camera, infant bag or a child safety seat, according to the industry guidelines.

The FAA prohibits any item that cannot be stowed safely and suggests

Florida Cities List Of Older

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Retirees flocking to Sarasota, Fla., have given that community the highest proportion of elderly residents in the nation and the smallest share of native-born residents, a private study shows.

Altoona, Pa., has the lowest percentage of residents who moved from somewhere else, while the smallest share of elderly live in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Population Reference Bureau, a private, nonprofit research group, has compiled rankings of the nations top and bottom metropolitan areas for growth, age and share of residents born in some other state.

Sarasota, the study found, is the oldest metro area, with 30.0 percent of its residents aged 65 and over.

Nine of the 10 oldest cities are in Florida, the report noted. Second is Bradenton, at 27.1 percent, followed by West Palm Beach, Fort Myers and Daytona.

At the other end of the scale. Anchorage, Alaska, has only 2.0 percent of residents aged 65 and over. Others with few elderly include Jacksonville and Fayetteville,

Lead U.S.

Residents

N.C.; Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and Provo, Utah.

Sarasota also was tops in the category of residents born in some other state, with 83.7 percent of its residents in that category, a result of the flood of retirees to Florida from colder climates.

Las Vegas, Nev., is second highest in residents born elsewhere, at 81.5 percent; followed by Fort Myers, Fla.; Naples, Fla., and Anchorage.

In Altoona, Pa., on the other hand, only 8.7 percent of the citys residents were born in another state. Other cities with few outsiders among their residents are Johnstown and Williamsport, Pa.; Houma, La.; and Reading, Pa.

The flow of outsiders has boosted Naples, Fla., to the fastest growing metro area, with an increase of 41.2 percent between 1980 and 1986. Next were Ocala, Fort Pierce and Fort Myers, Fla., and Austin, Texas.

Duluth, Minn., was last on the growth list, having lost 8.7 percent of its people in the six years. Others with overall population decreases included Elmira, N.Y.; Peoria, 111.; Waterloo, Iowa; and Muncie, Ind.

Great Britain Has Easiest Access To Birth Control

WASHINGTON (AP) - Residents of Great Britain seem to have easiest access to a variety of ways to avoid pregnancy, while the toughest restrictions are in Libya, Laos and Kampuchea, a private study shows.

In the new report, the Population Crisis Committee compares the availability of birth control information and materials in various nations, rating the developed and developing nations separately.

The United Kingdom leads the developed world with a score of 29 out of a possible 30. Great Britain lost 1 point for its school sex education programs.

West (Germany placed second with 28 points, and the United States was seventh with a score of 25.

The United States scored well on availability of most forms of contraception except intrauterine devices but lost points for school sex education, services to minors and information and advertising of contraceptives.

Placing last among the developed

nations was Romania, with only 3 points.

The developing nations were rated on a more detailed scale of 0 to 100 points, with Libya, Laos and Kampuchea failing to register any score at all.

Topping the developing nations was Taiwan, with 92 out of 100 points. Taiwan scored well in availability of contraceptives, but lost points on information and outreach programs, private sector involvement, government policies and services.

Singapore ranked second with 90 points, followed by South Korea at 89 and China and Hong Kong with 84 each, rounding out the developing nations which were rated as excellent in birth control access.

In addition, 10 developing nations achieved ratings of good, 16 were listed as fair, 33 had poor ratings and 31 were listed as very poor.

general size limitations of 9 by 14 by 22 inches for under the seat, 10 by 14 by 36 inches for overhead bins and 4 by 23 by 45 inches for cabin closets.

Were quite pleased with the new rule, said Juliette Lenoir, vice president of the Association of Flight Attendants. We expect that it will be well received by the traveling public.

Over the years some items taken aboard planes by passengers have posed safety hazards, she said.

Some of the strangest items on a list put together by the flight attendants union include: movie projec

tors; a drive shaft from a BMW automobile; a car door; lamps and lamp stands; large stuffed animals; a 4-fool fig tree; and a bowling ball that fell from an overhead bin.

Ms. Lanoir said passengers generally agree that fewer carry-on items should be allowed because too many items delay boarding and impede getting off a plane. Airlines, however, have been relucant over the years to restrict carry-on bags tightly because many business travelers want to check as few bags as possible for fear of losing items or being delayed at baggage claim areas.

Among the developed nations, the United Kingdom, West Germany, France, Italy, Australia, Canada and the United States were rated excellent.

Japan, Spain, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were listed as good, the Soviet Union was ranked as fair and Romania as poor in birth control access.

Worldwide, 54 million unwanted pregnancies end in abortion every year, with lack of birth control methods, or their misuse, a leading reason for the pregnancies occurring, the Population Crisis Committee reported Sunday.

The best way to prevent abortion is family planning, said Dr. J. Joseph Speidel, president of the committee, which is a private, nonprofit group that researches population issues.

Truth In Preference To FictionHelpful Grant

With a grant from the Ronald McDonald Childrens Charities the East Carolina University School of Medicine will be able to study nutritional needs of children with sickle cell disease.

RMCC has offered a grant of $60,559 to wholely support the one-year sickle cell study. It will be conducted by Nancy T. Gray, dietition, and Dr. C. Tate Holbrook, a hematologist, through the schools Regional Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program.

The study can be of benefit in efforts to control a disease which is a hereditary blood disorder that largely affects the black population. It is reported that one in every 500 black children in the United States is afflicted with sickle cell disease.

The blood disorder causes damage to red blood cells and limits their ability to transport oxygen. Their disk shapes are distorted into sickles which clog small blood vessels. Symptoms often develop soon after birth.

The study planned at ECU will document the nutritional status of children with the disease.

The grant is welcome. It comes from a foundation which was established in 1984 in memory of Ray A. Kroc, the founder of McDonalds. The research is particularly appropriate at ECU where a primary mission of the medical school is reducing infant mortality. As with most diseases, relief or cure for sickle cell disease will eventually be found. The research will be painstaking and the RMCC financed research will contribute in some way to solving the medical puzzle.

The grant is also an example of how non-government funding can be utilitized in carrying forward the research aimed at dread diseases. With all the health progress society has made there are still medical riddles to be solved and, when they are, humans will be rid of much pain and suffering. Each step, however, requires extensive research.Necessary Aid

It would be difficult to begrudge North Carolina fishermen the aid they might receive under a bill which was approved by the U.S. Senate.

The bill, which is now awaiting the presidents signature, requires the Small Business Administration to declare areas where the red tide has had an effect as disaster areas. Fishermen, restaurant owners, seafood dealers and others could then receive low-interest loans upon showing financial hardship.

Rep. Walter Jones, who introduced the bill, said the red tide has blighted the economy of coastal North Carolina, and that statement is correct.

The strange red tide drifted into coastal waters and contaminated certain shellfish. Fin fish have remained safe to consume.

Sen. Terry Sanford saw passage of the bill as a nice Christmas present for the eastern North Carolina economy which has been devastated by this freak of nature.

He said the states Congressional delegation worked for passage of the bill in the House and he and Sen. Jesse Helms guided it through the Senate.

The bill was attached to legislation concerning U.S.-Japanese fishing agreement which must be signed by years end.

It was slick congressional manuevering which might be frowned on in some cases. This was a matter, however, which needed immediate attention if the seafood interests of North Carolina were to be helped at all.

All involved are small businessmen and they are in a risky business at best. This bill is little enough to help fishermen, and seafood dealers through a terrible time that was not of their doing and couldnt be anticipated. We hope they soon will be back on their feet.

Youth: Another Forgotten Constituency

WASHINGTON - Normally during Sunday television news talk programs, reporters ask politicans for their opinions on a wide variety of subjects. But rarely do they give public figures a quiz on what they know.

Asked by Washington Post reporter David Broder recently how many citizens are protected by health insurance, Vice President Bush said that he did not know. Asked to estimate the number of jobless workers who are not protected by health insurance, Bush guessed that 50 percent fell in this category. The answer is 30 percent and so it went, Bush being asked simple policy facts and not knowing the answers.

The exercise that Bush failed the other day received little attention, but similar questions should be thrown frequently at all presidential contenders. The problem is that reporters often dont want to embarrass or get on the wrong side of the individuals they are covering. Too often a reporters fortunes are directly tied to the success or failure of his candidate.

In this skewed process, vital issues and facts go unreported. This holiday, for example, friends and family wil gather, returning from faraway jobs and schools, planning for the New Year. But what about the approximately 20 million 16-24-year-old wholl face this holiday season with little hope for an improved 1988? This

crowd finished its formal education the moment it left high school, with or without a diploma. Yet they, too, aspire to succeed, to find a niche in the workplace where they can make a living, raise a family, and earn respect in the community.

We dont hear much about youth in need on the presidential campaign trail. But this gorup will take on greater importance in the years ahead as theyll increasingly account for a larger and larger proportion of Americas youth population. The number of black youths, for example is declining at a slower rate than whites, while the corresponding Hispanic population is increasing.

These young poeple face a series of enormous hurdles in their search for any kind of career. Lacking a college credential, they are locked out of most high-salaried positions. Moreover, stable, good-paying jobs that do not require advanced training are disappearing. Between 1979 and 1985, the United states suffered a net lost of 1.7 million manufacturing jobs.

Accordingly, a fast-changing society has produced millions of new jobs in the service and retail sectors, but with wages at only half the level of a typical manufacturing job. Fields such as transporation, communications, utilities, government and agriculture once offered steady employment to millions of young high school graduates. Today this na

tion is evolving into a distinctivey two-tiered population, a society made up of people, on the one hand, who push Big Macs using a new generation of sophisticated cash registers, and on the other, of people who design these gadgets.

While some yuouths who dont attend college are successful, they are a tiny minority. Increasingly, a majority of this crowd is finding it harder than ever to swim against an economic tide that is flowing against them. They are seeking jobs they cannot find. Their work, often on a part-time basis, earns too little to support themselves or a family. They are floundering in their efforts to find aplace for themselves.

Recent economic data tells part of the story:

In 1986, young males 20-24 who had high school diplomas and had jobs earned 28 percent less in constant dollars than the com|wrable group of yough in 1973. The income drop was 24 percent for whites and 44 percent for blacks.

High school dropouts suffered an even larger income decline. Those 20-24 years old who were employed in 1986 earned 42 percent less in constant dollars than the same group in-1973.

While earning power among working youth has declined, most of these young people also report no earnings. In 1984, 12 percent of all 20-24-year-old males said they had no income, up from 7.3 percent in 1973.

How can these youths be helped?

The primary problem lies with the economy, and the paths to enter it, rather than with the youth themselves. Before the nation rushes headlong into another wave of education reform, it must ask itself some relevant questions.

What kind of knowledge, skills and values will be necessary for life in the 1990s?

What kind of learning climate is necessary if students are to achieve these characteristics?

The problems that manifest themselves in drug abuse, teen pregnancy and school truancy are but a tiny visible part of the iceberg. Many young people see no place for themselves in this world and many of administrative procedures routinely carried out in schools are pushing them to the brink of absolute dependency. At the same time, a survey by the America Association of colleges for Teacher Eduation reports that teacher cadidates today express little interest in teaching low-income or abilitiy children.

Populations of at-risk citizens have traditionally had the least access to understanding their needs or making them known. The longer we neglect this crowd and fail to develop collaborative strategies to address their concerns, the bigger price tag well face as a society.

The End Of 'Watershed' Election Years?

RALEIGH (AP) It has become a cliche in North Carolina to refer to watershed elections, which dramatically alter the political landscape and set or halt major trends.

But in 1988, for the first time in a decade or more, the label might not fit.

Observers have spoken of watershed elections frequently since 1972, when Republicans emerged as a force to be reckoned with by capturing statewide offices for the first time this century.

I would say we are in a series of years, a span of time, that has that,charac-teristic, Republican Gov. Jim Martin said in an interview last week.

But Jim Van Hecke, state Democratic chairman, says he doesnt expect the 1988 election to fit the standard criteria of a watershed.

I dont think its fair to say that every election (year) is a watershed year, he said. It kind of diminishes the meaning of the word.

Instead, Van Hecke says, 1988 is shaping up as a year when both parties hope to consolidate recent gains.

By anyones definition, the last two elections have been watersheds in North Carolina.

In 1984, the GOP made its most impressive showing in a dozen years. Presi-

Brock's Visit Raises Eyebrows

WASHINGTON - William Brock, Sen. Robert J. Doles new campaign manager, interrupted his restructuring of Doles presidential effort to go to Tokyo, where he represented the Chrysler Corp

That raised eyebrows because Brock only recently left the Reagan administration after almost seven years of service, ending as secretary of labor. Due to the holidays, neither Brock nor Chrysler officials were available for comment. But sources close to Brock confirmed that he made the trip on behalf of Chrysler. The auto firm is represented in Washington by lobbyist William Timmons, Brock's longtime political associate

Sources said that, contrary to rumors circulating in Washington and Tokyo, Brock did not lobby the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to extend the voluntary agreement limiting auto exports to the U.S. As U.S. trade representative, Brock was party to the original arrangement inl%l.

Bakers Contra Clout Worry that the White House would play only softball with liberal Democrats in the House on new funding for the Nicaraguan contras dissipated when chief of staff Howard Baker went to the House late Saturday evening, Dec, 19, to help the Republican leadership.

Bakers stark message to Democratic leaders: Dont negotiate this matter with me, negotiate with Bob and Dick and whatever they say is White House policy. That gave the clout they needed to Rep, Bob Michel, the House Republican leader, and Rep. Dick Cheney, chairman of the Republican Conference. The contras ended up with more than $10 million in new aid.

Worried About Meese Despite the special prosecutors tentative clean bill of health last week, fellow Cabinet members and subordinates for the first time are worried about whether Attorney General Edwin Meese III can survive in office.

They argue Meese is guilty of no

wrongdoing and would never be convicted of it. But the delay by independent counsel James C. McKay in finally clearing the attorney general from the Wedtech scandal has led to belief that indictment may be better than living in the shadow of a 50-50 proposition. That is true even though if indicted he would have to resign,

A footnote: The fact that Meese's political fate is in the hands of an independent counsel intensifies Justice Department anger over President Reagans approval of the new independent counsel statute after he called it unconstitutional. Justice had recommended a veto, but the White House staff disagreed,

dent Reagan carried the state with 61 percent of the vote; Martin was elected; Sen. Jesse Helms fought off a challenge from then-Gov. Jim Hunt, one of the most powerful Democrats in state history; the GOP grabbed 50 legislative seats and five U.S. House seats.

In the heady aftermath. Republicans spoke of challenging Democratic dominance of North Carolina politics at all levels - wresting control of at least one General Assembly chamber by 1991 and possibly becoming the states majority party by the year 2000.

For that reason, 1986 also was called a watershed: a test of the GOPs ability to win without riding the coattails of a popular presidential candidate and of the Democratic Partys ability to halt the Republican advance.

Sen. Terry Sanfords victory over Republican Jim Broyhill was a must win for Democrats, Van Hecke said.

We couldnt lose another big statewide race, he said. We were reeling a little bit, like a basketball team thats lost a couple of big games. If wed lost, theres no way we could have won in 1988 and no telling what would have happened after that.

Perhaps the Republicans greatest opportunity for making next years election a watershed lies with the race for lieutenant governor. With incumbent Democrat Bob Jordan challenging Martin, the states number-two office is wide open.

With former U.S. Rep. Jim Gardner seeking the GOP nomination, some party regulars speak of a Martin-Gardner dream ticket that could produce the states first Republican lieutenant governor of the century. As the Senates presiding officer, he could expand the minority partys power base.

Strength For Today

A printer recently made a mistake in setting up a church bulletin. A responsive reading was supposed to contain the line: The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice. But the printer set the type to read: The Lord resigneth, let the world rejoice.

Some people believe that the Lord has turned the management of the worlds affairs over to Satan or to

dictators, or the scheming politicians. The chaotic condition of the world might lead an observer to believe that the Lord has resigned. Evils seem to multiply with no end in sight. But anyone who thinks that this situation means that the Lord has resigned is making a great mistake. The Lord still reigns over the universe and at the end of all things will vindicate the righteous.

Helena Cobban Power Shift Among The Palestinians May Lead To Peace

The Palestinian protests that have rocked Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel in recent weeks brought ugly pictures to our television screens. But for two main reasons, they hold out some hope that peace may come to the Holy Land sooner than most Americans think:

The Palestinian power shift. The scale of the protests indicates that the leadership of the Palestinian nationalist movement has shifted from the far-off leaders of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the Palestinian communities remaining in their historic homeland. This shift has major significance for the peace-)rocess. The resident Palestinians lave more to lose than the PLOs exile-based constituencies and have learned the art of political gradualism better than the exiles. It helps that they know the Israelis better, too, and have some sense of how to build coalitions inside Israeli society.

Israels commitment to justice. Israel is not South Africa. The Boer elite of South Africa may not see any moral problem in suppressing the black population there, but Israeli society has a much stronger egalitarian strand. The Palestinians are not yet a majority in the area controlled by Israel - though in time they could become so. But already, many Israelis consider it wrong that.

20 years after their army seized the West Bank and Gaza, these territories 1.5 million Palestinian residents are still ruled by military law. Maintaining Israeli control in the future will probably require more of the harsh measures that were used last week tactics that many Israelis find morally repugnant.

Analysis

The anger the occupied Palestinians are currently expressing should not surprise anyone. They have been allowed no area-wide elections in 20 years. In 1972 and 1976, most West Bank towns were allowed municipal elections but when the mayors elected in 1976 raised demands the military administration did not like, they were summarily removed from office. Two of them, Fahd Qawasmeh and Mohammed Milhem, were expelled, joining the 1,300 other Palestinians who have been deported from the occupied areas since 1%7.

nomic development water for irrigation, capital and planning permits for investment projects, fr^-market competition for commodities is tightly controlled or denied altogether.

Nevertheless, these Palestinians have stayed in the land that has been their families home for generations. They could see only too clearly the wretched fate of those of their compatriots who fled into exile during earlier Arab-Israeli violence.

Denied access to political self-expression, the occupied Palestinians have lost some of their basic human rights. They can be held by the security forces for up to six months without being formally charged. Their land can be expropriated on the flimsiest of pretexts. Access to the basics of eco-

It was from the Palestinian exile communities that the PLO first emerged. These exiles were at first dedicated to a Return to homes and farms within Israels 1948 borders and the establishment of a secular state in all of historic Palestine. Then, from 1974 on, PLO leaders also started paying lip-service to the idea of creating an independent Palestinian state in the occupied territories, alongside Israel.

The PLO leaders were careful to explain this idea as only an interim measure, on the way toward the secular all-Palestine state. However,

it fired the imagination of the occupied Palestinians, who had a more realistic understanding than the PLO leaders of the permanence of Israel.

From the PLOs 1974 decision to accept a Palestinian mini-state in the West Bank and Gaza, the organizations popularity in the occupied areas grew tremendously. (In a 1986 public-opinion poll, 93.5 percent of the occupied Palestinians polled described the PLO as the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.) But this support is not as simple as it looks. There are differences over the relative weight to be given to the PLOs interim and ultimate goals. And there are the competing demands placed by the political whims of the Arab countries (on the exiles), and by the Israeli military administration (on the residents).

From 1974 until 1982, the exile constituency was still the strongest inside the PLO. Then in 1982, the Israelis smashed the PLOs exile-

based infrastructure in Lebanon. In 1983, one of the PLOs co-founders admitted to me, I think that, now, the people inside have more weight than we do. They are the only source left to resist.

But the PLO leadership is still relevant to the situation in the occupied territories. Ironically, what keeps it so is the Israelis continued practice of deporting Palestinian nationalists. How could I stand up and negotiate the future of my people if I knew the Israelis would deport me from my home the moment I said something they did not like? asks one West Bank Palestinian community leader. It is much safer to tell them to talk to someone already outside.

At the moment, some in the Israeli military are reported to favor stepping up the deportations. That is not only morally wrong and forbidden by international law. It is also just plain dumb.

Many Israelis who seek a society that is both Jewish and just now believe that Israel must find a way to get out of the occupied territories. But to negotiate a way out, they will need someone to talk to. Perhaps, on the streets of Gaza last week, one could see the beginnings of an indigenous Palestinian leadership that

might someday be able to cut a deal that both sides can live with.

Angry Mood Persists

Its one down, four to go.

While he remains the titular head of state, Czechoslovakias Gustav Husak resigned as party chief last week. He is but the first old-fashioned East European leader to be pushed aside since Mikhail S. Gorbachev came to power in Moscow in 1985.

Within another year or two, four other leaders Hungarys Janos Kadar, Bulgarias Todor Zhivkov, East Germanys Erich Honecker and possibly Romanias Nicolae Ceausescu are expected to follow suit.

The changing of the guard in Eastern Europe has something, but not much, to do with the leaders old age and poor health. True, Husak, Kadar, Zhivkov and Honecker are 75. Ceausescu is 69. All are ailing. But in the world of Communist Party politics no one resigns for reasons of age or health alone.

Husaks demotion is due to Soviet pressure and to economic stagnation in Czechoslovakia itself. Put into power by Leonid I. Brezhnev and late to join the Gorbachev bandwagon, Husak has presided over his coun

trys decline for almost two decades.

Even by comparison to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, as one of my interlocutors in Prague put it earlier this year, is a vast political cemetery. One of the worlds six or seven most advanced industrialized countries before World War II, it is today the single most vivid symbol of the failure of Soviet-type economic systems. In almost every respect Czechoslovakia lags behind all of its Western European neighbors and even such countries as South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

Husak has been allowed to keep his ceremonial post as president and Milos Jakes has been chosen as head of the party in order to provide for a measure of continuity. Jakes, 65, is only slightly younger and only slightly more pragmatic than Husak. Hence the main reason for Jakes promotion is that he embraced Gorbachevs program of perestroika a few months before Husak and most of his colleagues did. Jakes ties to Moscow in general and to the KGB in particular are also presumed to be close. In the 1960s Jakes served as

deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose task is to supervise Czechoslovakias notorious secret police.

Even under this transitional leader, Czechoslovakia is headed for instability. The leadership is still divided, and the people long for both democracy and higher living standards. Indeed, Gorbachevs dilemma throughout Eastern Europe is how to make change without creating instability. Change is needed to effect improvements; stability is needed to maintain party control.

Charles Gati, a specialist on Soviet and East European affairs at Union College in Schenectady, N. Y., and at Columbia University, visited six Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union this year.

Greensboro Man Running For State Post Charged In 17-Hour Standoff

. 1. -Ill________L^.. imu ^ DrtnrtnmiJ

Plane Crash

CHARLOTTE (AP) - Searchers speculate that high winds, darkness and dense fog caused a father who was flying his wife and two sons on Christmas visits to overshoot a Rutherford County airport.

Federal Aviation Administration investigators arrived in Rutherford County Sunday to begin their investigation of the crash.

Ronald Keith Quarles, 35, a licensed pilot, had rented the four-seat, single-engine plane a blue and white Piper Arrow from Southeast Airmotive Corp. in Charlotte.

Quarles, a computer operator for about eight years at the Federal Reserve Bank in Charlotte died in the crash, along with his wife, their 18-month-old son, Bryan Keith Quarles, and Ronald Lee Murray, 16, Ronald Quarles son by a previous marriage.

IRS Support

GREENSBORO (AP) ^ At a time of year when few taxpayers are thinking kindly about the Internal Revenue Service, IRS employees in Greensboro are going to great lengths to do a kindness for a fellow worker.

The workers at the Greensboro district office have gotten Rep. Howard Coble, R-N.C., to sponsor a bill in Congress that would let them transfer paid vacation time to Brenda Gay, who has used up her sick leave and vacation battling kidney failure.

Since July Ms. Gay, 38, a taxpayer service specialist, has spent 12 hours a week at the Greensboro Kidney Center, hooked to a hemodialysis machine that removes impurities from her blood and keeps a proper balance of fluids in her body.

Those treatments, plus earlier infections and complications, have forced her to borrow 240 hours of advance sick leave and still her unpaid days have cut her weekly paycheck 25 percent.

The private bill filed by Coble would let North Carolinas 800 IRS employees transfer any amount of annual leave to Ms. Gay, who could then use it as paid sick leave. If the bill passes, Ms. Gay may be only the sixth federal employee allowed to receive leave from another.

Videotape

RALEIGH (AP) - An Employment Security Commission videota^ that advises unemployed workers not to give false information on their claim forms is narrated by state worker who had to change jobs when it was learned she had falsified her own application.

Chrystal Harris Stowe, public information officer for the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, left the department in

October after it was discovered she had claimed erroneously on her job application to have a bachelors degree from North Carolina State University. She got another state job as special assistant in the Division of Policy and Planning of the Department of Administration,

She made the videotape in December 1985.

Holiday Shooting

HICKORY, N.C. (AP) - Three Hickory men were injured, one critically, when a Christmas-night gathering at a union hall ended in gunfire.

The three men were shot atout 1:30 a.m. Saturday at the lUE Local 182 union hall on Hickorys southeast border. Witnesses told Hickory police they heard several gunshots inside the building, followed by three shots outside.

Police said Sunday they had made no arrests and did not have a motive in the shooting.

School Burns

FOUR OAKS, N.C. (AP) - State officials say they suspect a Christmas night fire that destroyed a 65-year-old school building was intentionally started.

It looks like it was a set fire. It may have been started in more than one place, said Charles Dunn, deputy director of the State Bureau of Investigation, after he toured the site.

More than 200 firefighters from 19 volunteer fire departments in Johnston County fought the blaze, which was reported about 10 p.m. Friday. The fire burned until 4 a.m. Saturday and smoldered late Saturday afternoon.

The main building, built in 1922, was destroyed. It housed 466 students in grades 5 through 8, as well as the library, principals office and guidance office. Other buildings were not damaged. The entire school had about 1,000 students in grades K-8.

Afghan March

RALEIGH (AP) - About 75 protesters most of them Afghan refugees and their American-born children marched through downtown Raleigh Sunday to mark the eighth anniversary of the Soviet Unions invasion of their homeland.

Mohammed A. Purmul, 35, said the march was sponsored by the Islamic Association of Afghans. The purpose of the march was to make area residents aware of the Afghans plight and their disbelief of Soviet promises to remove troops, Purmul said.

The marchers, who had a police escort, rallied in Fayetteville Street Mall, where they burned a Soviet flag and heard members speeches condemning Soviet atrocities. They later marched to the State Capitol.

GREENSBORO (AP) - A 17-hour standoff between an announced candidate for lieutenant governor and Greensboro police apparently stemmed from a domestic dispute over a misplaced set of keys, people involved in the incident said.

He thought we had done something with them, Mildred Hannon said of her husband, Robert Hannon, and her sister, Lilian Farley.

Mrs. Hannon said her husband became agitated Saturday when he didnt take medicine prescribed as a treatment for what she called a nervous condition.

Hannon, 71, was taken to the Guilford County MenUl Health Department for evaluation Sunday after he surrendered to authorities at about 11:20 a.m., said Police Maj. D.C. Williams.

No shots were fired, no injuries were reported and no charges had been filed in connection with the incident, which began when police were told at 6:30 p.m. Saturday that a man armed with a gun was holding his family hostage. Mrs. Hannon, Ms.

Farley and a neighbor got out of the house within two hours.

We dont have anybody to press charges, Williams said. They are more interested in him getting some medical attention. He did not commit any overt acts and family members were involved.

The Rev. J. Herbert Nelson of St. James Presbyterian Church in Greensboro knocked on Hannons door Sunday morning and talked with him about religion and books, according to the Greensboro News & Record. Hannon later walked out with Nelson.

I knocked at the door, Nelson said. He opened it. He invited me to come in. He was very cordial, very calm. We basically talked about his family, about issues of religion. He was showing me a library of books that he had and then we walked out together.

Williams said when officers arrived Saturday night, Hannon threatened them as well as the three people in his house Ms. Farley, Mrs. Hannon, and Clarence Edge, a neighbor

who police said had apparently tried to resolve the dispute.

Nearby homes were evacuated at 6:50p.m.

About 7:30 p.m., Edge casually mentioned that his dinner was ready and he had to leave, Williams said. Hannon did not interfere, and Edge walked out.

Afterwards, Hannon went upstairs in the two-story brick home, leaving the two women downstairs alone, Williams said. The women walked out of the house at 8:17 p.m.

Nelson, who met Hannon two years ago when he became pastor at St. James, was one several people police asked to help Hannon him from the house, including state Sen. William Martin, D-Guilford, and John Kilimanjaro, editor and publisher of

Other States Eye New N. C. Laws On Fund-Raisers

RALEIGH (AP) - States that are trying to find a legal way to keep professional solicitors from lining their pockets with money meant for charity are waiting to see how a North Carolina law fares before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The law, passed in 1985, was intended to restrict professional fundraisers. But two lower courts have struck down major sections of the law: the restriction limiting fundraising costs to those that are reasonable, the license requirement for solicitors and the provision forcing fund-raisers to disclose certain financial information to donors.

Generally speaking, this is a hot issue, said Charles Hensey, special 'deputy attorney general. People make contributions to various charities and then read in the newspaper several months later that 80 cents of every dollar they gave has gone to costs, and these people feel betrayed. And properly so.

The Supreme Courts decision is expected to tell states how far they can go in regulating the activities of professional solicitors. Indiana, Connecticut and Maine have filed friend-of-the court briefs urging the Supreme Court to uphold North Carolinas law.

In the states brief, filed this month, the North Carolina attorney generals office contended that states should be allowed to regulate the fees of professional fund-raisers, just as utilities costs, insurance rates and the price of milk are regulated.

N, C. Man Designs Rescue Balloon

By P.AUL NOWELL Associated Press Writer STATESVILLE, N.C. (AP) - The Skyjack is not your ordinary hot-air balloon. For starters, its shaped like a cube. And its designed to rescue fire victims.

The standard hot-air balloon wouldnt be able to get close to the sides of the building, said Sidney Conn, head engineer at The Balloon Works in Salisbury.

Conn said he couldnt forget the scenes of horror that flashed across his television screen when 84 people died seven years ago in the M(jM Grand Hotel fire in Las Vegas Man has been building high-rise buildings for hundreds of years with no way to save the people in a fire, he said.

The tragedy inspired Conn to design the Skyjack, named after his father, to help firefighters do their job better The balloon has a U-shaped passenger compartment at the bottom to shelter pe;ople rescued from a high-rise building. As many as 24 people can fit into the 7-by-20-foot compartment, where the air will be filtered by the balloons internal engine. On top of the balloon there will a rigid

platform to carry firefighters, equipment and supplies.

I've done a patent search on rescue devices and theres never been anything like this, Conn said. We dont need to develop any new technology for this. Its all in place, it just nee( some modifications.

He hopes to-test a prototype of the new balloon in January.

The balloon was designed to weigh about 400 pounds and fit into the back of a pickup truck. No special equipment will be needed to transport or set up the balloon.

It will take about 10 minutes from the time the truck arrives to get it in the air, said Conn, who hopes to sell it for about $300,000.

Were trying to keep the price down to a reasonable level to make it affordable for the typical fire department, he said. Plus, large cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago might need to purchase more than one.

The balloon will be pressurized by its internal engine and will be made of Kevlar, a modern, fire-resistant fiber used in bulletproof vests. The material can withstand the high internal temperatures, which may rise to around 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conn said the high temperature will give the balloon a two-ton lift, compared with the 1.500-pound lift that normal balloons can give. The contraption will be stabilized by two

The Carolina Peacemaker, a Greensboro newspaper.

Hannon, who called himself Dr. Bob on the campaign trail, ran for lieutenant governor in 1972 on a platform of a chicken in every pot regardless of race or creed. He later quit the race when he ran out of money.

He ran for the U.S. Senate in 1974, finishing 10th out of 13 candidates in the Democratic primary. In 1984, he ran for governor, placing seventh out of 10 candidates in the primary. He announced he planned to run for the U.S. Senate in 1986 but didnt follow through.

This summer, Hannon announced that he was running for lieutenant governor in the 1988 primary.

But the professional solicitors and charities whose lawsuit challenged the law have maintained that it infringes on charities freedom of speech. Civil liberties groups and charitable associations are siding with the solicitors.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review North Carolinas law after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by U.S. District Judge W. Earl Britt, who struck down key provisions of the law. Britt cited prior Supreme Court rulings holding that charitable solicitation is free speech, protected by the First Amendment.

The attorney generals brief argued that Britt had erred by analyzing the law solely on the basis of the First Amendment rather than taking an economic-regulation approach, an approach advocated by now Chief Justice William Rehnquist in a dissenting court opinion in 1984.

The District Court did not consider the alternative that the statutes in question were mere economic regulation of another for-profit profession, all of which have been historically regulated without First Amendment problems, the brief said.

The brief was signed by Attorney General Lacy H. Thornburg, who is scheduled to argue the case in March before the Supreme Court.

winch-connected cables that will be extended from the ground on each side of the building it is scaling.

Firefighters on the ground will be able to manuever the Skyjack vertically and horizontally by a radio link. Conn estimated the balloon will be able to ascend a 100-story building in 15 to 30 seconds and descend the same building in about two minutes.

While helicopters have provided a lot of dramatic video footage during high-rise fires. Conn said, they are not a practical way to rescue people who are trapped in skyscrapers.

The helicopter is a very unforgiving device, he said. All it takes is for the blade to touch the side of the building and it can go down.

DEAR ABBY; You did it again. You said, Loneliness is the ultimate poverty, so invite someone who is alone to join you and your family for Thanksgiving dinner.

Abby, not everyone who is ALONE is LONELY. I am alone (widowed), but I am not lonely, and I dont particularly enjoy having Thanksgiving with a bunch of strangers.

Last year, I let a generous neighbor talk me into having Thanksgiving with her and her family. She had 36 for dinner. There were children of all ages running around, and two TVs going full blast each on a different channel. On one was a noisy football game, on the other a rerun of a 40-year-old musical. There was so much noise and tumult my head ached for two days!

This year I invited another widow to my place for Thanksgiving. We both hate turkey, but we love barbecued spareribs, so we picked up some ribs, popped popcorn and put away a quart of ice cream. Then we watched an old Laurel and Hardy movie on a rented cassette and had a wonderful Thanksgiving I SHIRLEY IN ALLENTOWN

Padding, or carpet cushion, is seldom considered in extending carpet life, although pad has a direct effect on wear, safety, insulation and decora tive impression.

There are several types from which to choose: foam rubber (or rebond"), waffle pad (made of foam rubber with a very plush feel), hair and jute pad (one of the first) and synthetic composition pad (made of synthetic fiber).

The advantage of foam pad (rebond) is that it provides uniform support, even (or inex pensive carpet in heavy traffic situations. Waffle pad provides less uniform support, but gives an impression of enhanced resiliency and luxury in formal areas or in bedrooms where light traffic is experienced. Hair

A Last Precaution

One final precaution pad should always be seamed with adhesive tape during installation. Otherwise, separation will eventually occur causing indentations in the carpet along with greatly accelerated wear.

and the Gaza Strip, just north of the Egyptian border on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel seized both territories during its 1967 war with Jordan and Egypt. The army says 800 Palestinians were arrested, including more than 600 in the West Bank and 190 in Gaza. Arab sources said nearly 2,000 were being held.

Abu Rahma said 600 prisoners were arrested in Gaza alone, and it would take at least a month to process them.

There is a regular pattern of beatings and humiliations, said Felicia Langer, an attorney representing some of the prisoners from the West Bank. Israel is violating elementary human rights.

Brig. Gen. Amnon Strashnov, the chief military prosecutor, said courtroom rights of the defendents were being preserved. He said Israel wanted to give them speedy trials to deter future rioting.

On Thursday, before the long weekend, the Dow Jones industrial average slipped 5.97 to 1,999.67, reducing its gain for the week to 24.37 points.

N.C. BROILER-FRYERS: The North Carolina fob dock quoted price on broilers for this weeks trading was 35.75 cents, based on full truck load lots of ice pack USDA Grade A sized V-ti to 3 pounds birds. The market is weak and the live supply is adequate for a light to moderate demand. Average weights desirable. Estimated slaughter of broilers and fryers in North Carolina Monday was 1,935,000, compared to 1,928,000 last Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market suffered a big post-(Thristmas letdown today, dec ining broadly as the dollar fell in foreign exchange and interest rates rose.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials tumbled 51.39 points to 1,948.28 in the first half hour of trading.

Losers outnumbered gainers by more than 7 to 1 in the overall tally of New York Stock Exchange-listed issues, with 149 up, 1,144 down and 303 unchanged.

Volume on the Big Board came to 24.63 million shares as of 10 a.m. on WaU Street.

Analysts said continuing pressure on the dollar sparked a sharp rise in U.S. interest rates. Prices of longterm Treasury bonds fell about $10 for each $1,000 in face value, raising their yields to just above 9 percent.

Brokers also cited edgy selling by traders fearful that hopes for a rally in stock prices into early 1988 might prove unwarranted.

Losers among the blue chips included International Business Machines, down 2% at 117V4; International Paper, down 2 at 42; General Electric, down m at Hh, and American Telephone & Telegraph, down % at 26%.

The NYSEs composite index of all its listed common stocks dropped 2.97 to 137.88. At the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was down 3.10 at 257.80.

Taxes

(Continued from A-1)

Hardee cautioned owners of cars to be sure to list each vehicle during the listing period.

Because of a change in the law by the 1987 General Assembly, Hardee said, people who dont list a vehicle for tax purposes, yet certify on the vehicle license renewal form that the vehicle was listed for taxes, will be charged a $100 penalty in addition to the 10 percent late listing penalty for falsifying the license renewal certification.

Hardee said that, on the average, the value of houses in the county has increased 25 percent to 30 percent because of the revaluation of property. Some are down, some have a larger increase, but the average house has increased about 25 to 30 percent, he said.

As for farm land, Hardee said farm land near Greenville has also increased in value, while much cultivated land in outlying areas has dropped in market valued.

But Hardee said that farm land will be taxed on its use value, which is lower than market value. I dont know what percent, he said, but I would guess the use value of farm land is about 50 percent of the market value, depending on soil type and location of the property.

And because of a land mapping program now under way, Hardee said property owners may see some change, up or down, in the number of acres list^ on tax abstracts in 1988.

The tax collectors and tax assessors offices both of which have moved from the courthouse -are now located in the county-owned Shore Drive Plaza building at the intersection of Second and Evans streets.

Snow Hits Plains

Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton issued his second disaster declaration in as many weeks on Friday and asked President Reagan to do likewise. West Memphis was hit by a tornado Dec. 14 which killed six people and caused $35 million damage.

Millington Mayor George Harvell Jr. said there was damage to about 600 residences and 10 businesses. No dollar estimate was available.

Crews in Kansas and Oklahoma worked all night to restore power to thousands blacked out by ice storms.

As fast as we get (power lines) repaired, we seem to have more put out, said Nancy Harlow, spokeswoman for Public Service Co. of Oklahoma in Tulsa, where about 10,000 customers remained in the dark Sunday night.

The unexpected snow was produced by a storm that swirled farther north than anticipated after leaving Arizona, said weather service meteorologist Mike Weiland in Wyoming. We didnt quite expect it to be quite this bad,

Snow accumulations included 34 inches at Golden, Colo., in the foothills west of Denver; 27 inches at Wheatridge, Colo.; 21 at Valentine, Neb.; 20 at Pine Bluffs, Wyo.; 16 at Ainsworth, Neb.; about 12 at Stapleton International; 12 at Huron, S.D.; 11 at Wheatland, Wyo.; and 12 at Worthington, Minn.

Snow blown by wind gusting as high as 50 mph reduced visibility to less than a quarter of a mile in some areas and caused snow drifts up to 4 feet deep, forcing police in Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska to close parts of Interstates 80 and 70.

More than 100 miles of Interstate 25 remained closed today in Wyoming because of snowdrifts.

Among the nine traffic fatalities in Oklahoma were four people in a van that careened into a Greyhound bus late Sunday on the Muskogee Turnpike. Six people on the bus were injured.

Colts' Dream Has Come True

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The band played We Are The Champions. For the first time, it was dedicated to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts officially became winners on Sunday by clinching the AFC East title with a 24-6 victory over Tampa Bay. The victory, which improved Indianapolis record to 9-6 and eliminated Miami from playoff consideration, capped what had been an an impossible dream before Coach Ron Meyer arrived with his winning attitude.

Sure, we talked about being a playoff team in the past but it seemed we always did something that made it impossible, said linebacker Barry Krauss, who came back from a career-threatening knee injury to help anchor a defense that yielded a league-low 238 points in 1987. The playoffs seemed like an impossible dream until this year. And the positive thinking of Coach Meyer was a key to turning things around.

Just over a year ago, Meyer inherited a team that was 0-13. Owner Robert Irsay, whose Colts hadnt had a winning season since 1977, fired Coach Rod Dowhower and gave the reigns to Meyer.

Meyer guided the Colts to three consecutive victories to end the 1986 season, a streak that provided the building blocks for this year.

The first thing he did when he came in here was say, Hey, guys, you can win. Youre a good football team, said quarterback Jack Trudeau, who guided the team to victories over Cleveland, San Diego and Tampa Bay down the stretch when starter Gary Hogeboom was sidelined by injury. Guys believed him and went out and did it.

Trudeau said Meyer didnt let the confidence wane after what seemed like a devastating 27-3 loss to Buffalo that left the Colts needing the combination of victories in their final twoSports Calendar

games and a Buffalo loss to claim the title. Indianapolis did its part by winning both games and Buffalo did in-de^ lose a game last week to fall out of playoff contention.

With that, the Colts also put away Miami by virtue of a better record than the Dolphins in division games.

Making us believe in ourselves is probably the biggest difference because there really isnt that many different guys, said Trudeau, who started in relief of an injured Hogeboom in five of the seven victories recorded by the Indianapolis regulars. Everybody believes every Sunday that we have a legitimate chance to win and thats something that Ron did.

Before it was, If you dont play well, well get somebody else. Now its Youre going to win and heres why. That, to me, has been a real difference.

To veterans like Ray Donaldson, Nesby Glasgow, Krauss and Donnell Thompson survivors of losing season after losing season under a series of five coaches Sundays victory was a soothing ointment for the wounds of past frustrations.

Irsay, frequently criticized for his unwillingness to spend money to improve the franchise, moved through the dressing room on Sunday embracing players, shaking hands and patting backs. In turn, Irsay was praised for hiring Meyer and for obtaining running back Eric Dickerson from the Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 31.

This year it all came true, the dreams that we had before, Donaldson, one of six Colts headed to the Pro Bowl, said. We beat some )eople that we werent supposed to )eat, like Cleveland and Miami in Miami. The Dolphins, in fact, had defeated the Colts in 14 consecutive games.

He (Meyer) came in and installed a winning attitude, Donaldson said. It wasnt If we win. It was always When we win. He was always thinking positive.

The blocking of Donaldson and fellow Pro Bowlers Chris Hinton and Ron Solt helped Dickerson rush for 1,011 yards in nine games as a Colt. Dickerson got 196 in 33 carries Sunday.

Donaldson said the team got a message when Irsay signed Dickerson, who was unhappy with his contract with the Rams, to a multi-year contract reportedly worth some $6 million.

When he went and gave that guy the money that he asked for, we said, Maybe Irsay has changed. Maybe he really wants to win, For him to do that, I think he was making a statement, that yes, I do want this team to win - and we appreciate it, Donaldson said.

1 give all the credit to the players and Coach Meyer, Irsay said as he moved through the locker room. This is a great moment for our club. They deserve what theyve done.

By BOBGREENE AP Sports Writer With the exception of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Houston Oilers, it wasnt necessarily who won or lost; it was who reached the NFL playoffs.

Both the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings lost their regu-lar-season finale, yet captured postseason berths. Houston had to win to continue its season, and the Oilers did just that, defeating Cincinnati 21-17 Sunday.

St. Louis could have gained a wild-card berth with a victory. Instead, the Dallas Cowboys upset the Cardinals 21-16.

Indianapolis could have lost and still made the playoffs, based on the outcome of several other games. The Colts took the easier route, downing Tampa Bay 24-6 to win the AFC East.

Then there was Jerry Rice, who continued breaking records while helping San Francisco wind up with the leagues best won-lost mark as the 49ers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 48-0, their best showing since a 49-0 victory over Detroit in 1961.

Rice caught two first-half touchdown passes and finished the regular season with 23 TDs, 22 on receptions and one rushing. That left him one short of the NFL singleseason record of 24 touchdowns set by Washington fullback John Riggins in 1983. He set league records with his 22 scoring receptions and by catching touchdown passes in 13 consecutive games.

The 49ers finished with a 13-2 record, winning the NFC West crown for the fifth time in seven years. The 49ers also clinched the homefield advantage for the NFC playoffs.

Every team in that position in the conference has advanced to the Super Bowl since the 49ers of 1981. All but one of those teams, the 1983 Washington Redskins, won the Super Bowl.

Were proud to have won our division, to have come back from a season-opening loss, San Francisco Coach Bill Walsh said. Were also proud to have the best record in the NFL. But now we go into the playoffs, and I see no advantage for us.

In other games, it was Kansas City 41, Seattle 20; Philadelphia 17, Buffalo 7; Detroit 30, Atlanta 13; New Orleans 33, Green Bay 24; the New York Giants 20, the New York Jets 7; Denver 24, San Diego 0; and Chicago 6, the Los Angeles I^iders 3.

On Saturday, Washington edged Minnesota 27-24 in overtime and Cleveland defeated Pittsburgh 19-13.

The regular season ends tonight with New England at Miami.

Besides San Francisco and Indianapolis, other division champions are Cleveland, Denver, Washington and Chicago. New Orleans joins Houston, Seattle and Minnesota as wild-card entries.

Next Sunday, the playoffs get under way with Seattle at Houston and Minnesota at New Orleans.

If Seattle defeats Houston, the following week will find Seattle at Cleveland and Indianapolis at Denver. If Houston wins, the Oilers will play at Denver and Indianapolis will be at Cleveland.

If Minnesota downs New Orleans, the second week will have the Vikings at San Francisco and Washington at Chicago. If New Orleans wins, the Saints will travel to

Chicago and Washington will be at San Francisco.

49ers 48, Rams 0 Steve Young threw for three touchdowns, including two to Rice* and 174 yards in the first half. Joe Montana, injured two weeks ago, came on in the second half and passed for two TDs, giving him a club-record 31 for the season.

Montana broke the 49ers season touchdown pass record of 30 set in 1965 by John Brodie.

Our team was pretty much helpless against them, Rams Coach John Robinson said. They just overwhelmed us.

The Rams, 6-9, suffered their first losing season in five years under Robinson.

Charles White of the Rams won the NFLs rushing title, beating out former Rams star Eric Dickerson with a 95-yard performance that gave him 1,374 yards for the season.

Colts 24, Bucs6 Dickerson, acquired at midseason, rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns to lead Indianapolis to

the AFC East title and the Colts first playoff berth in a decade. The victory, before a Hoosier Dome record crowd of 60,468, gave the Colts, 3-13 a year ago, a 9-6 record. It marked the first time they have finished over .500 since they won the division title in 1977 when they were in Baltimore.

We knew when we got him hed help us, Colts owner Robert Irsay said of Dickerson. We promised the fans a winner, and now weve got a champion.

It was Dickersons sixth 100-yard game in nine as a Colt, breaking the team record of five set by Lydell Mitchell in 1975.

Bears 6, Raiders 3 Kevin Butler kicked field goals of 38 and 30 yards to lift Chicago over the Los Angeles Raiders. The victory broke a two-game Chicago losing streak as the Bears finished 11-4.

I dont know how pretty it was; I really dont care, Bears Coach Mike Ditka said. Well probably go into the playoffs as a weak sister. Were letting people think what they want to think about us. Somebody has to

come to Chicago, I know that. Well be ready for them when they come. Chris Bahr kicked a 48-yard field goal for the Raiders, who finished 5-10, their worst record since 1%2.

Oilers 21, Bengals 17 Alonzo Highsmith, a contract holdout for the first eight games of the season, caught a 33-yard touchdown pass from Warren Moon and ran one yard for another score. The Oilers, 9-6, last made the playoffs in 1980.

Wherever I go, the team seems to go well, former University of Miami Hurricane Highsmith said. Its like Im a good luck charm.

Chiefs 41, Seahawks 20 Paul Palmers 92-yard kickoff return highlighted a big-play day (or Kansas City as the Chiefs dropped the Seahawks to 9-6 and forced them onto the road as a wild-card entry in the playoffs. The Chiefs finished 4-11.

Herman Heard ran 37 yards for a touchdown and Bill Kenney teamed with Carlos Carson on an 81-yard

49er Victory Final Piece In '87 NFL Playoff Puzzle

and the Dallas Cowboys made Minnesotas dream come true.

The combination of the 49ers 48-6 whipping of the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night and the Cowboys 21-16 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals earlier Sunday put New Orleans and* Minnesota in the NFC wild-card game next Sunday in New Orleans.

San Franciscos big win was the final piece in the NFL playoff puzzle, giving the 49ers the NFC West title, despite the Saints ninth straight victory, a 33-24 decision over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The 49ers finisheci the regular season with a 13-2 record, while New Orleans, making the playoffs for the first time, was 12-3.

Meanwhile, Minnesota, which lost to the Washington Redskins 27-24 in overtime on Saturday, gained the other NFC wild-card spot by virtue of the Cowboys victory over the visiting Carclinals on Sunday.

The Vikings will go to the playoffs for the first time since 1982, despite an 8-7 record. Washington had clinched the NFC East title weeks ago and also is playoff bound.

Minnesota's players and coaches watched the Dallas-St. I^uis game on television,

God, it's a great feeling, Vikings defensive coordinator Floyd Peters said after Dallas held on for the victory. Its going to be fun. Now that youre in the playoffs, it doesnt matter what you did last week or last month. Its zero-to-zero and now the question is: What are you going to do next Sunday?

Asked if he thought his team backed into the playoffs, Vikings Coach Jerry Burns said: Lets put it this way - 1 feel good atout it. When we started the season, our objective was to gel into the playoffs any way we could. When it's all said and one,

they dont ask how, they ask how many. If we hadnt played well yesterday (Saturday), if we stunk up the joint against the Redskins, I might have thought that we backed in. But we played hard and just caine up short at the end. We have a good team.

Indianapolis beat Tampa Bay 24-6 on Sunday to take the AFC East, locking up its first division championship since it won in 1977 as trie Baltimore Colts. The Denver Broncos had the AFC West title wrapped up when Kansas City upset Seattle 41-20 Sunday afternoon. But the Bronc( went on to beat San Diego 24-0, gaining the home-field for the entire playoffs.

Houston beat Cincinnati 21-16 on Sunday to clinch its first playoff spot since 1980. The Oilers will play Seattle next Sunday in Houston in the AFC wild-card game.

Sunday began with only the Redskins, Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns in pc^session of division titles, with the Bears having won the NFC Central and the Browns the AFC Central.

All six division champions get a week off.

If Houston wins next Sunday, the Oilers will play the following week at Denver, If Seattle wins, the Seahawks will play next at Cleveland. Indianapolis will play at either Denver or Cleveland, depending on the outcome of the Houston-Seattle game.

In the NFC, if Minnesota beats New Orleans, the Vikings would play the next round at San Francisco and Washington would play at Chicago. If the Saints beat the Vikings, New Orleans would travel to Chicago and the 49ers would play host to the Redskins.

Dembo 's Defense Leads Win

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) Wyoming forward Fennis Dembo, known far and wide as a great scorer, wants people to know he plays defense, too.

Dembo and his teammates played a sluggish first half against Columbia in the Wyoming Cowboy Shootout tournament Sunday, trailing 32-31 as Lions guard Matt Shannon scored 12 x)ints including a 3-point shot at the )uzzer.

Fennis asked for Shannon at halftime, said Wyoming Coach Benny Dees. He told me Give me that guy and you worry about the rest.He did a great job.

Dembo held Shannon scoreless in

the second half and scored a season-high 32 points.

The result was a 92-56 victory by No. 5 Wyoming in the opening round of the fifth annual tournament in the only game involving a ranked team.

The victory raised the Cowboys to 8-0, their best start since the 1950-51 season. Wyoming now goes into championship play tonight against Eastern Kentucky, while Columbia faces Detroit in consolation play.

Dees credited the full-court press for turning the Cowboys game around in the second half.

We threw all the presses we had at them to get the tempo up, Dees said. The thing that turned the

game around for us was the press.

The Cowboys shot 22 of 42, 54 percent, in the second half while holding Columbia to 10 of 34,29 percent, after the Lions shot 54 percent in the first half.

Dembo picked up 12 points on 3-point shots in the game, including two in the first 10 minutes of the second half when the Cowboys built leads of up to 31 points.

Turk Boyd added 15, Robyn Davis 14 and Eric Leckner 10 for Wyoming.

Eastern Kentucky guard Jeff McGill scored 21 points in the first game of the tournament to help send the Colonels into the championship

McHale Does His Job As Celtics Defeat Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - For Kevin McHale, his 16 fourth-quarter points were just a passing fancy.

The guards were making great passes in there, said McHale, who finished with 25 points in the Boston Celtics 114-102 NBA victory over Sacramento on Sunday night. When they do that, your job as the big man is to simply put it into the hole.

All I did was what I was supposed todo.

Twice in the fourth quarter the Celtics established 16-point leads their largest of the game on the strength of McHales inside play.

The first time was with 6:07 left when McHale scored six consecutive points during a 10-0 spurt that extended Bostons lead to 102-86. McHale later scored six straight points during an 8-2 run that made it 112-96 with 2:01 remaining.

Larry Bird led the Celtics with 35 points as they won their sixth consecutive game. Otis Thorpe led Sacramento with 30 points, while Reggie Theus added 29.

In the only other NBA game Sunday, New Jersey trounced Cleveland 101-83. Tonight, its Philadelphia at Phoenix and Denver at Seattle.

Boston Coach K.C. Jones credited his teams execution in the second half with reversing a two-point halftime deficit.

We got down to business in the second half, Jones said. We were rebounding and making the smart passes. We werent always doing that in the first half.

Jones said he was impressed with Joe Kleine, Sacramentos 7-foot center who had 14 points and a season-high 15 rebounds.

Last time we saw him, he wasnt as impressive, but Ive been following his numbers, Jones said. Anytime you see a big man like that run the fastbreak and hustle back down court to block a shot you know hes going to be a factor.

Kleine was more impressed with Birds play than his own.

Larry is such a good passer, Kleine said. Hes like a quarterback out there. He looks at all his receivers, then he coolly picks one to go for. When they started to execute, his passes really hurt us.

I think we got beat by a better team tonight, Sacramento Coach Bill Russell said. I didnt think we played that bad, they just toyed with us for three quarters.

Bird said the Celtics cant afford to be strong on offense without matching it with a strong defensive effort.

That happened to us in the first

half, Bird said. Our defense was pretty weak. We let them have too many layups and easy shots. At halftime we decided to concentrate on defense, and that was the turning point.

Po/mer, Irvin Lead Inductees

GREENSBORO (AP) - Golfer Arnold Palmer, former NBA star Lou Hudson of Greensboro, former North Carolina A&T basketball coach Cal Irvin and two-sport Duke standout Tom Davis will be inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in May.

The four athletes were chosen in a vote of the organizations 25-member board of directors. Their inclusion raises the halls membership total to 107.

Palmer, 58, attended Wake Forest in the early 1950s, and the Latrobe, Pa., native then launched a career in which he became the dominant player on the PGA tour from 1957 until Jack Nicklaus seized that mantle in 1963.

Palmers career total of 61 tour victories ranks fourth behind Sam Snead with 84, Nicklaus with 71, and Ben Hogan with 62. Palmer captured

Sierens' Debut Came Off Well

By RICK WARNER AP Sports Writer Given the circus-like atmosphere surrounding the event, Gayle Sierens picked an appropriate phrase to describe her feelings after becoming the first female play-by-play announcer in NFL history.

I got the monkey off my back, she said Sunday after working the Seattle-Kansas City game on NBC. Everybody wanted to know how this girl would do this football game. Well, now they know.

Like all novice announcers, Sierens made mistakes in her first NFL telecast. She misidentified a few players, once gave the wrong score and overused the cliche big play.

Her overall performance was solid, however.

Im pleased, said Sierens, a news anchor in Tampa, Fla. I knew there would be mistakes and there were. But I know exactly what they were and they wont happen again.

1 think this is the worst broadcast Ill ever do, she added. Having said that, I think it was a pretty darn good broadcast.

Her opinion was shared by Michael Weisman, executive producer of NBC Sports.

"When you consider that this was Gayles first game, I thought it was a remarkable performance, he said. She made some mistakes, but theyre the kind experienced NFL announcers make all the time. Weisman was so pleased, in fact, that he guaranteed more NBC assignments for Sierens next season, Im going to commit right now to Gayle doing more NFL action on NBC. he said, What we have found is that Gayle has improved tremendously (since her first practice telecast). And we expect more improvement in the near future,

Gayle now and not once has she said anything silly or stupid, said veteran announcer Marty Glickman, who critiqued Sierens four practice sessions. And you cant say that about many announcers.

Dave Rowe, the analyst on Sundays telecast, said he quickly forgot that the telecast was making history.

At first, I thought that this is odd, strange, the former NFL lineman said. But after the first couple of series, I cant remember a time in the broadcast where I thought that Im doing a game with a woman and this is a historic moment,

Sierens painstaking preparation paid off when she correctly called a tackle-eligible play the Chiefs used to score a touchdown in the third period.

I called it as soon as it happened, she said. I was ready for it.

The game, which Kansas City won 41-20, was shown in only 10 percent of the country. But those who watched saw a wide-open game that featured Seattles Steve Largent surpassing Charlie Joiners career mark of 750 receptions.

The game, particularly the first half, was very exciting and that helped, Sierens said. The last two (practice) games I did were boring and that makes your job harder.

Hudson, 43, averaged more than 20 points a game in a 13-year NBA career with the St. Louis-Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers. The 6-foot-5 swingman played in six NBA all-star games from 1969 through 1974.

Hudson launched his career at Greensboros Dudley High School and was recruited by the University of Minnesota. He earned All-Big Ten and All-America honors as a collegian, and then became the St. Louis Hawks first-round draft choice in 1966.

He was the scoring leader on a series of contending teams that included Zelmo Beaty, Bill Bridges, Joe Caldwell, Walt Hazzard and l^n-ny Wilkens. Hudsons peak year was 1973, when he averaged 27.1 points per game. He was traded to the Lakers in 1977.

Hudson now lives near Salt Lake City, Utah, where he is involved in F6dl 6ststc Irvin, 62, was A&Ts basketball coach for 18 non-losing seasons from 1954 through 1972. He posted a 401-132 record in a coaching career that included an earlier term at Johnson C. Smith. His teams captured five Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships in 1958, 1959, 1962,1964 and 1967 and the inaugural Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title in 1972.

Irvin, a native of Orange, N.J., and a graduate of Morgan State, retired as coach to become A&Ts athletic director. He retired from that position in 1978 to return to a teaching position in the universitys physical education department.

Davis, 65 and a native of Wilson, has been called the most underrated player in Duke football history. His school records of 28 touchdowns and 168 points in a single season have endurea for 43 years, as has his 79-yard punt.

As a baseball player, Davis compiled a .407 career batting average in three varsity seasons at Duke.

g_4 The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C._Monday, December 28,1987Saudi Offers Financial Aid If Iran Stops War

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - King Fahd accused Iran of trying to export its fundamentalist revolution to neighboring Arab nations, and demanded that Tehran drop its objections to a U N. plan aimed at ending the Persian Gulf war .

As an incentive to adopting the plan, Fahd indicated that his oil-rich kingdom and other Arab nations would bankroll Irans postwar reconstruction projects if Tehran accepted a cease-fire in its 7-year-old war with Iraq.

Fahds statement came Sunday as he and other gulf Arab leaders met to plot military strategy and diplomatic action to deter Iranian attacks on their coastlines and oil tanker routes. The four-day meeting, which began Saturday, resumes today. Besides Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar sent representatives to Riyadh.

In remarks carried by the official Saudi Press Agency, the king charged Iranian leaders were motivated by territorial ambitions and (the desire for) hegemony, and exporting ideologies alien to our Arab and Islamic societies.

He was quoted as saying he hoped for a peace that

would lead to good relations based on the Islamic creed of brotherhood and solidarity between Persian Iran and its Arab neighbors.

As chairman of the six-nation Giilf Cooperation Council, Fahd complained that Iran was directing arrows at our hearts instead of helping us to liberate Jerusalem and the Arab Islamic territories in Palestine.

The king paid warm tribute to the Palestinian heroes for their wave of protests against Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Israel took the West Bank from Jordan and the Gaza Strip from Egypt in the 1967 Middle East war. At least 21 Palestinians have been killed in rioting in the occupied lands since fighting broke out Dec. 8.

On Sunday, the second day of top-level discussions in Riyadh, there was relative calm in the gulf. No Iraqi or Iranian strikes were reported on shipping as the deadliest month in the three-year tanker war neared its end.

So far this month, at least 26 commercial ships have been attacked in the gulf, with Iran raiding the shipping of Iraqs Arab friends in retaliation for Iraqi attacks on Iranian oil tankers and facilities.

In Iran, Prime Minister Hussein Musavi said for the first time the Persian nation is producing chemical weapons, but said it would refrain from using them unless forced to by Iraq. A 1925 Geneva treaty bans the use of such weapons.

Musavi also claimed Sunday in remarks broadcast by the Islamic Republic News Agency that Iran has deployed long-range missiles aimed at Iraq, and will soon expand its arms production to include fighter planes.

Conference sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the leaders were examining developments in the Iran-Iraq war, guided by a policy blueprint Fahd laid down Saturday. The king told the summits opening session that Irans conditions for ending the war were unreasonable and warned that Arab and other powers could be dragged into the conflict if it is prolonged.

According to Arab diplomatic sources, the remarks indicated that if the war continues and expands, gulf leaders might be forced to seek help from the United States or other powers, though Fahd made no such specific reference.

The sources also said they viewed the statement as a

call for the gulf nations to get tough with Iran if it continues to reject Iraqs peace overtures and persists in attacking commercial shipping.

Fahd was joined by Sultan Qaboos of Oman, and Sheiks Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah of Kuwait, Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, Isa bin Salman A1 Khalifa of Bahrain and Khalifa bin Hamad al-Thani of Qatar.

He rejected Irans conditions for ending the war as unreasonable and unacceptable. Tehran says that President Saddam Hussein of Iraq must go before the war can be ended. It also demands huge war reparations.

Fahd praised Iraq for accepting a U.N. Security Council cease-fire resolution that Iran has said it will not embrace until Iraq is branded the aggressor in the war.

Conference sources said Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were trying to talk their allies into seeking an international arms embargo against Iran. The council nations account for about 50 percent of the worlds proven oil reserves. . . ,

Iran rejects their ostensible neutrality in the gulf war, claiming Saudi Arabia and Kuwait contributed more than $38 billion to the Iraqi war effort.

Ex-Boom Town Faces Bankruptcy

BELFIELD, N.D. (AP) - This former boom town, out of money and nearly $2 million in debt after oil prices plummeted, plans to seek protection under a rarely used section of federal bankruptcy law.

We will have a scar in our history. There is no doubt about it, Gordon Itrich, owner of the Badlands Pharmacy on Main Street, said recently.

The City Council plans to file for reorganization of debt next month under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving Belfield officials 18 months to repay $1.87 million without fear of lawsuits from creditors.

According to the National League of Cities, only three communities have filed for Chapter 9 reorganization since 1%0: South Tucson, Ariz.; Wellston, Mo., and Wapanucka, Okla.

As I see it today, I dont think that the city will be in a situation to borrow any money for 20 years, said Phil Dolyniuk, mayor of this ranching town of 1,100 people about 120 miles west of Bismarck.

Dolyniuk said raising taxes to pay

debts would be out of the question.

Taxes have risen sixfold over three years, and would have to triple for the the town to meet its obligations, said LaRoy Baird, a Bismarck bankrupcty lawyer representing the city.

If that were to happen, Baird said, The city will close up and people will move out.

The towns problems began in the late 1970s and early this decade, when workers flocked to the area for high-paying oil jobs, putting a strain on housing.

We actually had people living in tents, a lot of them, Dolyniuk recalled. They were living in trucks and their automobiles.

Belfield sold $2.1 million in bonds in 1981 and 1982 for water, sewer and street improvements.

But oil prices began dropping in 1982, and people began leaving. About $1 million in property taxes owed the city hasnt been paid over the past five years. City Auditor Tammy Schroeder said. As a result, the city defaulted on $229,171 in bond payments.

French Jews Get Millions In Aid

WASHINGTON (AP) - A little-known Jewish organization will receive $8 million from Uncle Sam next year to build schools in France thanks to a project promoted by Sen. Daniel Inouye over the State Departments objections.

A contributor to Inouyes most recent senatorial campaign. New York real estate developer Zev Wolfson, said he sits on the board of Ozar Hatorah, the New York-based group that will get the money. But he said no one in the group stands to benefit personally.

The money, contained in a massive $600 billion appropriations bill that President Reagan signed into law before Christmas, will go for construction of schools for North Africa Jews settled in Paris.

The bill classifies this group as refugees even though many have lived in France for a decade or more and have prtKpered. The U.S. government, the French government and the U.N. High Commission for Refugees do not consider the group as refugees.

It doesnt make any sense except that Dan Inouye wanted it badly, said Rep. William Lehman, D-Fla. Dan doesnt ask for much and when he has a small amount of the total package that seems to be important to him you dont embarrass him, he said.

Lehman was a member of a joint House-Senate conference committee that met in the final weeks of the congressional session to iron out differences on a $13 billion appropriation for foreign aid. Inouye, D-Hawaii, is chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee on foreign operations.

I hold my nose and vote for a lot of things around here, Lehman said. He said he was bothered that the money was earmarked for a specific group when other refugees seem to have a much greater ne^ for American assistance. He cited the Falasha Jews forced to flee Ethiopia as one example.

Iranians Claim Chemical Arms Being Produced

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Iran acknowledged for the first time that it is producing chemical weapons, but said it would abide by an international treaty and refrain from using them unless forced to by Iraq.

Irans prime minister, Hussein Musavi, claimed Sunday that Iran is manufacturing sophisticated offensive chemical weapons. The use of such weapons is banned under a 1925 Geneva treaty.

Musavi also said Iran has deployed long-range missiles along its war front with Iraq, and will soon expand its arms production to include fighter planes.

He made his comments as he presented the governments new annual budget to the Parliament in Tehran. He gave no details of the budget for the Iranian year that begins March 21, but Irans official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted him as stressing the war effort will get priority.

Musavis admission that Iran is producing chemical weapons was the first official statement indicating that manufacturing has begun. Iranian spokesmen previously said only that Iran was capable of producing such weapons.

Musavi was quoted by IRNA as saying Iran will not use the weapons as long as it is not forced to and will respect international conventions.

U.S. Ships Sail From Spanish Port

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - A U.S. Navy warship departed five days ahead of schedule today after a crewman was killed in an grenade attack on a USO club that also left nine sailors injured, the U.S. Embassy said.

The destroyer USS Thorn pulled out of Barcelonas port early today, said Rafael Jerez, a spokesman at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid. The frigate USS Donald B. Beary also left Barcelona today, as it was scheduled to do before

the blast. ^^

An obscure Catalonian separatist group claimed responsibility for the attack Saturday evening on the Christmas-trimmed USO club. All 10 sailors killed or wounded were crew members of the Thorn or the Donald B. Beary.

Both ships were heading today for Naples, Italy, and had arrived in Barcelonas port on Dec. 21.

U.S. Navy GSM-3 Ronald Strong, 22, a motor specialist from Reeders, Penn.. died early Sunday in a local hospital after surgery for shrapnel injuries he suffered when a man lobbed two grenades into the USO club.

The nine injured sailors were treated at local hospitals and released.

Strong, a crew member on the Thorn, is to be buried at a later date in Arlingtons cemetery in Virginia, Jerez said.

The sailors body remained in the Hospital Clinicos morgue where an autopsy was carried out and it was to be embalmed, a hospital spokesman said.

Strong was married this year and his wife is expecting a child next spring, said Robert Bryson, a cousin in Reeders, Penn.

On Sunday, a shadowy separatist group known as the Red Army of Catalonian Liberation claimed responsibility for the attack.

Yankee soldiers get out of Catalonia, a woman telephone caller told the French news agency Agence France-Presse, as she claimed responsibility for the grenade attack in the name of the Red Army of Catalonian Liberation.

A woman made a similar call Sunday to the Spanish national news agency EFE

Both said the group also carried out the Oct. 14 bombing of the U.S. Consulate in Barcelona that wounded eight Spaniards, including two consulate workers

Police said the separatist group was virtually unknown until it emerged this year and claimed those two attacks, and two others on U.S. firms in Barcelona last spring.

By ED WHITE Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO (AP) Gary Dotson, whose rape sentence was commuted after his accuser recanted, but repeatedly ran afoul of the law, begged Gov. James R. Thompson for another chance after being jailed again, a newspaper reported today.

Please, for the love of my daughter and my family, let me get the (alcoholism) treatment I need, Dotson, 30, wrote from a jail cell in suburban Calumet City, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

I am so afraid it all may end, he wrote Thompson. Talk to me if you are going to condemn me.

Dotson was arrested at a Calumet City bar Saturday night on charges he stabbed a cook in the hand, authorities said. Police said he had been drinking and didnt want to pay for a sandwich.

Before the arrest, Dotsons wife told him she wanted a divorce, his attorney, Thomas Breen, said Sunday.

He just couldnt handle it, said his sister, Laura Dotson of suburban Country Club Hills.

Cook County Associate Judge Martin McDonough ordered Dotson held without bond Sunday at the request of the state Department of Corrections until it could be determined whether he had violated his parole. Arraignment on battery and disorderly conduct charges was set for Feb. 2.

In 1985, Thompson commuted Dotsons 25- to 50-year rape sentence to the six years served after his alleged victim, Cathleen Crowell Webb, recanted her testimony.

Dotson landed back in jail in September on a parole violation following five arrests, including for drunken driving, allegedly striking his wife and allegedly threatening to kill their daughter.

Last week, Thompson offered him a last-chance deal of a three-year parole combined with alcoholism treatment, along with a warning that another tangle with the law would land Dotson back in jail.

Dotson had been drinking before Saturdays arrest, police said.

The Sun-Times said it obtained the letter from Civia Tamarkin, co-author of a magazine story on Dotson, who said she visited Dotson in the jail Saturday and found him in a suicidal mood.

He kept saying this is it, hes going to end it all, she said.

You cant imagine what I am going through, and I dont want to hurt anymore, Dotsons letter said. I drink because I am an alcoholic, and Im sorry.

He ended the letter by telling his wife and daughter: Camille and Ashley, I love you.

If the Illinois Prisoner Review Board determines that Dotson violated parole, he could be put in prison until October 2003, according to Terry Barnich, legal counsel to Thomson.

Barnich said Dotson could also be released as early as October 1988.

Regardless, the matter is out of the governors hands and in the parole boards, Barnich said.

1 dont think there is a parole violation, said Breen. A trial on this case will show everyone the problems hes having because he is who he is.

Had he not been Gary Dotson, I dont think this would have happened, the attorney said. Things got out of hand and Gary tried to back off, but Gary was not allowed to back off.

Afghans Say Soviets Trapped

least three times in recent years of using chemical weapons against Iran. The Iraqis claimed Iran used similar weapons against them, but there was no independent confirmation.

Western military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said recently that Iran and Iraq are capable of producing advanced nerve gases as well as missile systems that, in theory, could be used to deliver the chemical agents.

Irans claims come as it is apparently poised to launch a major new ground offensive against Iraq in the 7-year-old war, and as the U.N. Security Council is moving toward imposing an arms embargo on Iran for refusing a cease-fire.

The embargo, promoted by U.S. and British officials, has prompted Iranian leaders to boast that their domestic arms industry is now sufficiently developed to meet most of the countrys military needs.

IRNA quoted Musavi as saying Iran now is producing copies of U.S.-designed TOW anti-tank missiles, Soviet-designed Katyusha rockets and remote-controlled pilotless reconnaissance aircraft and will soon start making fighter planes.

Mi^avi gave no details of the fighter, but Western analysts have said they believe it is a propeller-driven aircraft probably based on the Swiss Pilatus PC-7 trainer. Iran has about 40 PC-7S, which can be converted for combat use.

Musavi said Iran will soon use the new plane in combat.

Western analysts have acknowledged Iran is probably self-sufficient in small arms, mortar and ammunition production, and is manufacturing some surface-to-surface missiles with relatively crude guidance systems.

Musavi said deployment of advanced Iranian-made, surface-to-surface missiles along the battlefront began last week. He did not elaborate.

The Iranians, by bolstering domestic weapons production with the aid of foreign manufacturers, have saved about $1.5 billion in arms purchases over the last year, according to Western estimates.

Western economists estimate the wars strain will force Iran to adopt an austerity budget that holds annual state spending at about $30 billion.

Irans income from oil, its economic mainstay, has been estimated at about $8 billion for 1987, around the same level as the previous year.

That is significantly lower than earlier years because of lower oil prices and a drop in the value of the dollar, in which oil prices are determined.

Iran earned more than $13 billion from oil exports in 1980.

The analysts estimate that Iran has massed about 300,000 men in the fronts southern sector for an expected big push against war-battered Basra, which before the war had l million residents.

Musavi said his increasingly isolated country is striving for economic independence and diversification of its oil-based economy.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -Anti-Soviet guerrillas trapped up to 1,500 Soviet paratroopers and 20,000 Afghan soldiers in a southeastern Afghanistan city as fighting raged over a strategic road, guerrilla officials claimed.

The Moslem rebels on Sunday also denied a Kabul Radio report that said the Soviet-backed Afghan government had succeeded in reopening the road leading to Khost, where the Soviet and Afghan forces were besieged by Moslem guerr JIas.

In Moscow, the Tass new-s agency said Afghan troops killed an uniden-

tified American adviser during the fighting near the city of Khost, and that 1,500 Moslem guerrillas had been killed or wounded in the fighting.

The United States supports the insurgents fighting against the pro-Soviet government in Kabul with stinger missiles and other material aid, but has not reported sending military advisers to the guerrillas,

Because the war in Afghanistan is closed to Western reporters and observers, it was not possible to in-depenently verify the Soviet and

Moslem guerrilla claims about the fighting there.

Sunday marked the eighth anniversary of the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. Anti-Soviet demonstrations occurred in Europe and the Far East. President Reagan urged the Soviets to promptly and irrevocably withdraw.

Khost, near the border with Pakistan, has been under siege by Moslem resistance fighters since the April 1978 revolution that brought a Marxist government to power in Afghanistan.

Afghan officials say the guerrillas

are trying to sever the district from the rest of the country to turn the area into a supply base for operations in the rest of Afghanistan. They said the plan was not working,

We inform our compatriots that the security of the road from Gardez to Khost has been ensured. The road is open for normal traffic, Kabul Radio said Sunday night, quoting the Minister of Tribes and Nationalities Solayman Laeq.

The road in Paktia province is about 70 miles long.

Q.lAs South, vulnerable, you hold:

4K983 9AJ76 OQ109 *92

Partner opens the bidding with one heart. What do you respond?

A.This depends on your methods. Your hand is too strong for a raise to two hearts. If you use limit raises, it is perfect for a jump to three hearts. If you play that as forcing, you must make a temporizing bid of one spade, and be prepared for a difficult rebid at your next turn.

Q.2Both vulnerable, as South you hold:

AKQJ5 AQ zK95 4632 The bidding has proceeded:

South West North East

1 4 Pass 2 9 Pass

What do you bid now?

A.No bid is perfect. Your high cards in partners suit has improved an already powerful hand, and you must find a way to tell partner of

your strength. We suggest a jump to three spades, despite the fact that you have only a five-card suit. Its quality more than compensates for the lack of a sixth card.

Q,3_Neither vulnerable, as South you hold:

4QJ6 9AQ95 OK106 4Q76

Partner opens the bidding with one no trump. What do you respond? A.You have a very good hand for partner, so game should be a cakewalkbid three no trump. Even if partner has a maximum, your combined count of 32 is not enough to contemplate slam, and you have no long suit to provide a source of extra tricks. We do not recommend Stay-man with such a perfectly balanced hand.

Q.4As South, vulnerable, you hold:

4Q985 962 QK83 4KJ62

The bidding has proceeded:

South

West

North East 1 9 Dbl

What action do you take?

A.Dont bid one spade, the suit in which East is sure to hold four cards. And you are a whit short for a redouble. Your correct action is one no trump, to show a smattering of honors and no particular liking for partners suit.

Q.5As South, vulnerable, you hold:

4KQ763 95 OA1086 4KJ4

The bidding has proceeded:

South West North East

1 4 Pass 2 4 Pass

2 0 Pass 2 9 Pass

What do you bid now?

A.Only a greedy bidder would trot out two no trump or rebid his spades, while concealing such good support for partners prime suit. It is time to complete the description of your hand by bidding three clubs. That would descibe a holding of five

spades, four diamonds (you would have opened one diamond with 4-4) and three clubs; hence, a singleton heart.

Q.6As South, vulnerable, you hold:

4A1085 9 K96 0862 4J54

Partner opens the bidding with a demand bid of two diamonds. What

do you respond? -

A.While you have a balanced hand, your prime cards mean that your hand might play better in a suit than no trump. Partner is likely to have an unbalanced hand with a good suit, so we would set the suit by raising to three diamonds. That still gives us a chance to locate a 4-4 spade fit should that be partners second suit.

British Actor Gives Quality To Television's 'Equalizer'

By James Endrst

L.A. Times-W'ashingtun Post News Service

NEW YORK The second assistant director gently raps on Edward Woodwards trailer door, steps in and informs the star of CBS The Equalizer that he is needed on the set.

The 57-year-old British actor squeezes his blue-gray eyes closed in acknowledgement, as if summoning some inner strength.

As Woodward steps from the trailer and begins making his way through the back halls of the studio, the assistant director pulls out her two-way radio and messages ahead.

Edward is walking, she says into the walkie-talkie.

Amused, Woodward looks over his shoulder and wryly corrects her.

Crawling, he says.

WoodViQrd, who is in his third season as Robert McCall, the spy who came in from the cold and now runs a security force for hire that caters to the truly desperate, is hardly crawling.

But nob^y can afford to waste the actors time, either especially because he is on an extremely tight four-day-a-week, six-hours-a-day work schedule. Woodward, who used to work 14-to 19-hour days, had to reexamine his approach to work after a serious heart attack in July. Scripts and schedules are arranged around Woodward.

Fortunately for CBS and all involved in The Equalizer (which is broadcast Wednesday nights). Woodwards experience has bred economy.

The actor says little beyond his lines when he is on the set. And in watching him run through a rather nondescript scene shot in a bistro manufactured for the show (another way of cutting back on exhausting, time-consuming location work), one notices not so much what he says as how he says it the pursed lips and

Life Story Is Weird On Film

HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Adrian Cronauer, the real-life Vietnam disc jockey portrayed by Robin Williams in the new film Good Morning, Vietnam, says seeing his life story on the silver screen is a little weird.

Theres this guy up there, and hes Adrian Cronauer. But Im Adrian Cronauer. Only, hes me, and Im not me, and hes up there and Im down here, Cronauer said in a recent interview.

During the Vietnam War, Cronauer was known by his broadcast greeting: Goooooood morning, Vietnam!

The 49-year-old Philadelphian began to think of turning his experiences at Armed Forces Radio into a film in the late 1970s when he and Saigon radio pal Ben Moses wrote a television script.

But at the time, Cronauer said, Nobody wanted to hear anything funny about Vietnam.

Mainland China opened its first television station in 1958. It was located in the city of Peking.

raised eyebrow, a hairline shift in the eyes.

Simple touches from the heart through the eyes, is the way actress Amanda Plummer describes it. Ms. Plummer, who is guest-starring in the episode being shot this particular day in late November and to be shown Jan. 13, says she was not so much interested in working on The Equalizer as she was in working with Woodward.

"Oh, it was Edward. she says. Hes a beautiful actor. Period. Jonathan Perry, who is .directing this episode, says of Woodwards work; Its the kind of performance that stands by itself as quality. Laurence Olivier described Woodward as one of the finest actors in England.

Born in Surrey, Woodward is married to actress Michele Dotrice. Woodward attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England before launching his theatrical career in 1954. His career has included work in Londons West End, with the Royal Shakespeare Company and on Broadway. He has appeared in more than 2,(X)0 television productions between his work here and in England. Among his feature credits is the highly acclaimed Australian film "Breaker Morant (Woodward also has a separate and successful singing career in England and Australia).

Though The Equalizer never has made a strong showing in the ratings in fact, its first season was close to a disaster CBS has supported the show, based on Woodwards appeal. In its season-to-date average, the show ranks 43rd in the Nielsen ratings.

It goes up and down, Woodward says philosophically. Then, contradicting himself a bit. he says, I have no interest in them (ratings) whatsoever. I only know what everybody else tells me. I confess I dont quite understand them.

If that is true, it is one of Woodwards few obvious shortcomings.

Costume designer and friend Linda Wayne says The Equalizer star is about good grooming and being perfect. Hes even like that when hes on a mission.

On and off the set, says Wayne, "hes just a very centered, solid person. Theres nothing equivocal about him. He understands whats decent and lives by it and is very disappointed if you dont.

The actor is capable of breaking into passionate discourses when warmed up to any number of subjects.

Up on the roof of the studio, posing for publicity shots with Ms. Plummer by some Equalizer graffiti, he expounds on the wonders of New York.

Some directors want to get away from the classic New York, he says But people often forget that America is what the world sees on television. Which is why American television, when it gets bland, is the most appalling thing that can happen to America l^cause, as far as the world is concerned, America is bland. And of course its not.

Yet his tone can turn cold just as quickly when he is turned off by a question or some problem on the set.

Woodward gets testy when he is asked to describe Robert McCall, the enigmatic, brooding, some say vigi-

lante nightmare come true who bills himself as The Equalizer.

"Oh, no, Woodward says. I cant do that. He is what he is, and he am what he am, hes Popeye the sailor man.

But moments later. Woodward will offer that McCall is an angry man. Hes a man whos been through it all. He keeps calling himself an old soul. Hes a bitter man and a man whos very much apologizing for his past. Hence I think he goes out of his way to help people.

Woodward absolutely loves it, however, when other people attempt to define McCall,

I always think Ive succeeded, he says, when I see somebody write that hes a right wing of Genghis Khan, that hes this vigilante and then a couple of weeks later you will read that hes a left-wing (pinko), I mean the most liberal wimp youll ever see, I really love that. Because that is exactly what he is. Hes like any other human being, and he is just as liable to change his opinion, his political attitude, depending on the case.

Woodwards attitude about his work has certainly changed.

Theres one thing I wont be doing in any hiatus, and thats working, he says. That w^arning was received extremely well.

By KATHRYN BAKER AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) - It isnt Guy Lombardo and Times Square, but Maryland Public Television is hoping to start a new New Years Eve te evi-sion tradition fireworks from Baltimores Inner Harbor with Harry Anderson and Mel Torme headlining Happy New Year, USA 1

The inside joke is that Torme is the idol of the character that Anderson plays on NBCs Night Court. Anderson, a magician and comedian, is a real-life fan of Torme, too.

The two will be co-hosts of the live special, to be carried on PBS and simultaneously on American Public Radio beginning at 10 p.m. EST.

The entertainment will alternate between the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra playing all-American music to jazz from Ethels Place featuring Stephane Grappelli and Wynton Marsalis, among others. There will also be tap dancing and fireworks from the harbor.

For those who prefer the traditional Times Square ball drop, and a harder edge to their music, MTV does Countdown to 88 Live from Times Square, with host Paul Reiser. The East Coast portion of the show starts at 10 p.m. At midnight, MTV switches to Los Angeles for the New Years Eve Rock n Roll Ball. Performers include Glenn Frey, Belinda Carlisla, Loverboy, Richard Marx and Poison.

ABC offers another rock celebration beginning at 11:30 p.m. with John Stamos and Heather Locklear as hosts of Dick Clarks Rockin Eve 88. Performers include Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Los Lobos, Barry Manilow, Restless Heart, the Temptations and Jody Whatley.

Earlier in the evening, beginning at 8 p.m., PBS offers a more sedate Live from Lincoln Center, with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Zubin Mehta and featuring soprano Kathleen Battle with the Boys Choir of Harlem. The program promises spirituals, Gershwins "An American in Paris, Strauss and Offenbach.

Series Ready

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The 21-month shoot of the miniseries War and Remembrance, the sequel to Herman Wouks The Winds of War is finally complete.

The saga took the cast and crew through 10 countries. They started in Lourdes, France, in January 1986 and wrapped in Mobile, Ala., September.

Walter Cronkite is host for the fourth year in a row of From Vienna; The New Years Celebration, with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Boys Choir. It airs at noon on PBS.
