U.S. Back In Space

By HOWARD BENEDICT AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -More than years after the trauma and tragedy of the Challenger disaster, the shuttle Discovery rocketed into orbit today, carmng five astronauts on a comeback fught that NASA hoped would signal a rebirth of the American manned space program.

Riding two redesigned booster rocked, the winged spacecraft blasted off launch pad 39B at 11:37 a.m. EOT. Liftoff was delayed 98 minutes while NASA awaited a shift in peculiarly light winds along the Discovery flight path.

^ The craft was safely in orbit, its drew tickiitf off a routine system checklist, when NASA officials stood before laundi officers to hail the beginning of the four-day mission.

Its great to be back in space again said the (^i^tor of the keiv> nedy mace <Jntef, Forrest McCarL' ney.f^Wo# said NASA ad-minish^or Fletcher. Its

Soviet Shakeups

The tension here was considerable and dio not aoaie uniii me craft shed its booster rockets, on schedule at 2:04 after liftoff. It was a faulty

booster which led to the Challenger catastrophe.

Good ludi and Godspeed, was the send off from Launch Control ttf. Commander Frederick Hauck. As the ship entered orbit, the communicator from Mission Control confirmed, Performance nominal.

Later today, the astronauts were to release from the shuttles cargo bay a $100 million communications satellite.

Months of remorse, restructuring and roNlding ended when the winged spacecraft entered its initial orbit, about 110 miles above Earth, heading for 160 miles.

Trailing a 700-foot geyser of fire. Discovery vaulted from its pad and within seconds rolled into its desired coi^se to orbit. An estimated quarter-milhon people watched from roads, river banks and other viewing spots in the Kennedy Space Center area.

The atmosphere was anxious as the shuttle moved successfully through

the stage of maximum aerodynamic stress at which Challenger broke apart, doomii^ its crew of seven on Jan. 28 1986 just 73 seconds after liftoff.

The flight pass^ its most critical milest(Hie< when its two 149-foot-tall solid fuel booster rockets burned out on schedule and jettisoned toward the Atl&ntic Ocean.

The failure of a joint in one booster allowed flames to escape and led to the OuiUenger explosion. The accident triggered hundreds of modifications to the shuttle and a new laun-ch-oversight procedure in which former astronaut. Robert Crippen held one-man hubrty to appme launch.

He did, seiuhng the shuttle tow^ rbit through partially douc^ akws. Aboard vm mxy Cant. Hasiek; Air Force Col. Ridiard Covey; Mari^ Lt. Col. David C. Hilmers; Jdm M. Lounge; and George D. Pinky Nelsmi.

With the boosters shed.

Discoverys three liquid fuel main engines burned for another 6*/i minutes to propel Discovery and its crew into orbit.

The National Aeronautics an# Space Administration, indeed the entire country, had to be relieved. Another catastrophic failure could have killed the shuttle program and seriously jeopardized future U.S. space efforts.

Weve got about nine minutes of .work left to get this program back into space, said Bob Sieck, the lauiKh directw, as he briefed the flight crew and restarted the countdown clock.

Although four days of space experiments lie ah^d, the shines main propulsion systems > pesied their tests during the dimb to orbU. Landing was scheduled fm* Monday at Edwards Air Force dase**in Califmmia.

The morning countdown was smooth, exdt>ting Flwidas fickle weather.

NASA wailed until c(HKlitions improved, abandoning its original 9:59 a.m. lamich target.

Force

MOSCOW The Soviet

Union called!xtraordinary meetings of its legislature and of the policy-making Central Committee, and a source said today that a shake-up in the party hierarchy is likely in line with Mikhail S. Gorbachevs reforms.

The convening of the 300-member Central Committee on Friday and of the 1,500-member Supreme Soviet on Saturday brought officials rushing back to the capital.

Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze cut short his visit to the United Nations to fly home for the Central Committee meeting, and Defense Minister Dmitri T. Yazov

ended a visit to India a day ahead of sdiedle.

The Supreme Soviet, the nominal parliament, usually convenes twice a year after meetings of the Central Committee. It last convened Mav 24-26. The Central Committee had been expected to meet by the end of October, but the source said reform plans were proceeding faster than was expected.

The source, who is a member of the Central Committee staff, said the committee will approve reforms in the party and government structure outlined at a Communist Party con-

Under a new Extended Area Service arrangement from Carolina Telephone, there will be toll-free two-way telephone calling tetween Grifton and Ayden and toll-free <me-way calling from Grifton to Greenville begin-

bilk,-^ording to-4he^^xMiquu^ Jldftouls le^ one-party customers will pay anotiier $1.99 each month, while one-party business customers will be billed an additional $4.80. Ayden r^idential one-party customers will pay a 49-cent increase per month, and Ayden business one-party customers will see a $1.16 jump.

With the new arrangement, customers in the Ayden exchange will be able to call 2,024 additional numbers in the Grifton exchange without paying long-distance charges. Customers in the Grifton exchange will be able to call 41,367 additional numbers in the Ayden and Greenville exchanges toll free, said G.C. Strickland, district commercial manager for Carolina Telephone.

(Xistomers in the Ayden exchange will have to dial only the seven-digit number they are calling. Custwners in the Grifton exchange will need to dial 8 plus the sevendigit number they are calling. An EAS arrangement already exists which permits toll-free calling between Greenville and Ayen.

Strickland said that upder the EAS, regular long

distance charges will be replaced by a monthly EAS charge to Ayden and Grifton cutomers for calls between the two exchanges to help offset the investment and expenses incurred in providing the service.

The higher rate for Grifton customers also will include the additiimal cost of EAS to Greenville, he said. . xtMed-Area Service was autluMized by. the state Utilities Commissiim after a majority of Ayden and Grifton customers voted in favor of the arrangement.

Strickland said Extended Area Service from Green- ville to Grifton was rejected aftw a majority o Greenville customers voted against it.

He also said Carolina Telephone will offer an optional toll calling plan which will permit cost savings for long distance calk from Greenville to Grifton.

Under the plan, custmna^ can purchase blocks oi calling time at a discount from the per-eallcosti.

Greenville customers can obtoin infcHniation about the optional toll calling plan by calling the Carolina Telephone business office,

Since the EAS calls are local instead of long-distance calls, the Grifton listings will be in the new Greenville directory delivered to Ayden customers, and fiie Ayden and Greenville listings will be in the Kinston directory delivered to Grifton customers, Strickland said.

Worthingtons Told To Get 2nd Lawyer

By STUARTSAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer A U.S. magistrate has ordered John Thomas Worthington Sr. and John Thomas Tommy Worthington Jr. charged in connection with the burning of the Liberty Warehouse in Wilson, which they owned - to arrange for separate counsel for their trials in U.S. "District Court,

At a Sept. 22 hearing in Raleigh, Magistrate Alexander B. Doison ruled that New Bern lawyer Trawick Stubbs Jr. could not reprsent both of the defendants because of potential conflicts of interest. He gave the men until Friday to arrange for separate counsel or appear and show cause why they have failed to do so, ac-conling to an order signed by Denson.

During the hearing last week, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kieran

Shanahan, in outlining potential conflicts, said - according to a transcript that the government will be able to show, I believe, at trial that Tommy Worthingt<Mi, who was running the warehouse as the manager, stole or otherwise extracted by way of advances from the company nearly a million dollars. While the father had knowledge of some or most of this, there was another partner who did not. Th^ advances were then funneled into other failing enterprises of Mr. Worthington, thus constituting significant motive for his involvement in the burning of the warehouse.

That particular motive is absent with regard to the father, Shanahan told the magistrate. At the same time, the evidence as to the father would show that with regard to his

Nobel

OSLO, Noway (AP) The Nobel Committee today named the blue-bereted U.N. peacekeeping forces patndling the worlds tramJe spots as winners o the 1968 Nbbd Pice Prize.

The conmittee cited the troops fo* building a confidence in the United Naticms that allows it to play a graw-ing role in global affairs. Peacekeepers most recently were dispatched to Iran and Iraq under a cease-fire negotiated in the countries 8-year-long war.

The five-member committee praised the forces in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Syria, C^rus, the Indian subcoitinoit and kan and Iraq fo* subduing tensions where armistices have substituted for peace.

The citation said the peacekeepers have played a significant role in reducing ie level of conflict even though the fundamental causes of the struggles fr^uently remain.

The decision was widely regarded as an indirect award to U.N. Secretary-General Javiar Perez de Cuellar, who scored diplomatic breakthroughs this year in mediating

World Bank Eases Loans

BERUN (AP) - The World Bank will increase its yearly loans nearly 50 percent by 1992 to help end poverty in the Third World; the <H*ganizations president said today.

About 1,000 demonstrators gathered at a church nearby Wednesday and chanted IMF Muntar Meeting. Thousands of liot police held them back with plastic shields.

Third World countries owe about $1.2 trillion to international and private leriders as well as governments.

Omable predicted that the World Bank will be lending $25 UUion dollars a year by 1992 to lliird Wwld nations. It now lends about $17 billion a year, and the monetary fiind provides about $8 million diae.

Balloons Will Stay On The Ground

ByCAROLTVER Reflector Staff Writer

The cancellation of a balloon launch during the East Carolina University football game Saturday and the substitution of a display of balloons so they can be properly disposed of is being seen as a way to educate the public, not only about arthritis -the projects original purpose but about environmental responsibility.

Lee Workman, director of athletic marketing for ECU, said a launch of 10,000 purple and gold balloons during this game was planned last spring by ECU and the Arthritis Foundation of North Carolina. Dan Litz, executive director of the foundation, said the launch was seen then as a way to call public attention to the prevalence of arthritis and the need for more research about it and more compassion for its victims.

On Sept. 18, a newspaper article was published throughout the state which pointed out that balloon launches create litter and that animals, particularly sea animals, can be harmed and even killed by ingesting plastic balloons. Litz said his organization was quick, in the light of this information, to change plans for the football game awareness campaign.

He said the 10,000 purple and gold balloons will now form an archway through which the ECU team will run onto the field. Later in the game, the balloons will be placed around the field to add color, but they wil not be distributed nor released. After the game they will be properly disposed of by the volunteers who are setting up the pageantry on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation.

Diane Hankins, 1986 chair of the local Sierra Club group, said, I think that its a very positive

thing that people, not just here but throughout the country, are beginning to see things like publicity balloon launches as having negative environmental effects. Balloons do come down and they are litter, non-biodegradable litter. When they land in our forests and oceans and in other wildlife habitats, there are long-term negative effects that we might not have previously realized.

This area is especially sensitive. Since Greenville is a relatively short distance from the coast and there is much undeveloped land in eastern North Carolina, we should have become concerned about activities of this type several years eaflier.

People have launched balloons and done similar things casually for a long time. I am glad to see more sensitivity about this and other effects of our throwaway mentality.

Fire Causes Heavy Damage To Jacksonville High School

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) -Fire sw^ through the administration building of Jacksonville High School today, heavily damaging 17 classrooms including one with computers in it and offices and causing fears that the roof would colla^.

%e fire, which officials thought had been extinguished, reignited later. Smoke billowed from second-flMNT windows of the administration building until about lU: 15 a.m.

No injuries were reported. The schools students were sent home about 9 a.m.

School officials scrambled to retrieve records from first-floor offices as the blaze moved to the sec-cnd floor. About 10 a.m., fire officials ordered everyone out of the building.

The schools cafeteria workers reported the fire at 7:18 a.m., according to Principal Lenwood Padgett.

One classroom was heavily involved and three other rooms damaged, said P. J. Jarman, a chief with the Jacksonville Fire Department. When the blaze reignited, however, the fire spread to the second floor and into the buildings 16 other classrooms.

The hallway and surrounding area

were blackened by smoke in the early morning fire, and at least one trophy in a hallway trophy case had melted from the intense heat.

Superintendent Everett L. Waters originally hoped to reassign the 350 students who have classes in the building into other buildings. Later, the decision was made to send all students home.

Waters, Board of Education member Tom Pitman and others worked to remove student records from the Administratiim Builc File cabinet drawers full of recc were placed on the ground outside the school and covered with plastic sheeting.

The superintendent said he believes most student reconb were salvaged. Officials also were able to remove one computer that may contain student information.

The records will now be placed in the schools library. Waters said.

One of the 17 classrooms had computers in it, while anoto had electric typewriters. Most were thought to have been damaged in the blaze.

A snorkel truck from nearby Camp Lejeune Marine base s{M*ayed water on the roof of the bulling from its rear. Other firefighters wcnrked to

pump water in second-floor windows from the other three sides of the

building.

Thick smoke

surrounded Drive campus of

the

Henderson school.

In addition to the offices and the 17 classrooms, the building housed three other spaces where classes were held. The schools communications center also was in the building.

The fire began on the first floor, but its origin has not been determined. An investigation is under way.

Waters had no estimate of the damage this morning.

At least three city fire trucks and a truck from the Half Moon Volunteer Fire Department responded.

School board Chairman Fred Hargett and Board of Education member Paul Hardison also were on the scene.

The is the second school fire in the past three years. Fire destroyed the offices, library and four classrooms at Trexler Middle School in RichlandsonJan. 21.

Truth In Preference To Fiction*

Tangible Proof

Police First Line Of Defense

; The value of the bust was nearly $100,000. But more [important, the 3,723 vials of cocaine-based crack that ^were confiscated didnt find their way inside human bodies in Greenville.

The phrase major drug bust is over-used and applies to almost every arrest where law enforcement 'wants media recognition. But the roundup last week of four alleged cocaine traffickers and the 30-some unrelated drug arrests that occurred in the community over the weekend should be considered major.

They should also be viewed as concrete evidence the city has a drug problem. Trafficking and drug use are common here; increased crime and decreased quality of life prove it. Law enforcement is the first line of defense against the scourge.

While those arrested must be presumed innocent and receive a fair trial, the arrests should also be seen as irrefutable proof the problem is approachable. If those charged with enforcing the law are given the resources to seek out traffickers, if those charged with administering justice wrap the strong arm of the law around convicted drug dealers, if community leaders and organizations are persistent and unblinking in their fight then maybe progress can be made toward eradicating drugs.

It must be made because the community is feeling the side effects of its drug problem. Police draw sharp parallels between an increased incidence of crime and drugs addicts must find the money to support their habits. Usually, they find it by stealing. Drugs are also linked to violent crimes traffickers and dealers often are involved in the shootings and murders that occur.

There is a distinctly disturbing element about the most recent arrests, however. Most likely, they represent only a small portion of the drug trade in the community. They are isolated incidents in a continual phenomenon drug trafficking and use goes on day in and day out. While a bust may take those responsible for a portion of the illegal trade off the streets, it cannot eradicate the entire spectrum of concern.

But persistent and uncompromising police work, led by community support, can be the most immediate stop against dnigs. Last weeks arrests are important and the initiative they demonstrate must persevere until the streets are cleared of dangerous illegal substances.

They must continue until all drugs go in the trash, not into human beings.

Black, Not Red

Panic About Thrifts Misplaced

North Carolinas savings and loans arent having hard times. They arent in the red. The facts prove it, and demonstrate any panic about the financial health of the thrifts is misguided.

While savings and loans failed in record numbers elsewhere, particularly Oklahoma and Texas, local institutions continued to thrive. Concern by depositors is misplaced. If they look at the figures, theyll see North Carolina has escaped any adverse effects from investments in economically depressed areas or poor management.

For example, in the first quarter of 1988, the states savings and loans ranked as the sixth most profitable in the nation. Conservative lending policies and the states solid economy are the reasons.

Contrast that soundness to the economic atmosphere in southwest oil-producing states unemployment of 40 percent, record numbers of poverty-level families and it is easy to see why North Carolina has been relatively immune to the insolvency faced in other places. While Texas and Louisiana are dependent on one industry petroleum for profit. North Carolinas diversity makes it more insulated against sharp shifts in economics. Falling oil prices turned the southwest into disaster areas and consequently caused savings and loans in those states to lose billions. That has not occurred in North Carolina.

But the image problem prompted by failure has showed up in other areas. Depositors are worried over whether their money is safe in North Carolinas thrifts. But they shouldnt be. There are no adverse effects locally, save increased insurance premiums for savings and loans.

Its one thing to be alert to banking crises and another to misread them. While caution about financial matters is appropriate, unfounded panic is not. North Carolinas savings and loans have a good

fiduciary record. Depositors shouldnt let remote cir-cumstalibes overshadow the faf ts.L.

To the editor:

The League of Women Voters of Greenville-Pitt County recently offered an informational evening about the proMsals being considered by the City Council regarding the term of office for City Council members and the Mayor and the Mayors vote.

Although League does not have a position on a vote for the Mayor, we regard this, too, as an important issue. One should consider, for example, the fact that a vote would then be coming from another person elected at-large in Greenville. This could dilute the Black voting power recently secured when Greenville switched to a district method of election.

Education: Rand's Ace In The Hole

Rand touted his role as chairman of the Senate Base Budget Comittee over the past four years and said he played a major role in funding the eight-year Basic Education Plan.

Donald Trump & The Ayatollah

The worst mistake I made recently was to tell people that during the summer I had been a ^t on Donald Trumps zillion-doUar yacht, the Trump Princess. I thought they would be delisted that not only had one of their friends made the big time, but had even walked the dedu of the largest private boat in the world.

Instead, they could not have been more shocked. It was as if I had played racquetball with the Ayatollah Khomeini.

How could you go on Trumps boat? one of my friends asked.

I had no choice, I protested.

What impressed me the most about the suite was that it had 18-karat-gold fixtures.

Thats unfair, I told her. I

tell you that it was previously owned by Adnan Khashoggi, the Middle Easter wheeler^ler?

They say he used to smuggle his women on board by helicopter. I just wanted to see how he did it.

According to Trump, the boat was used to make business deals. Khashoggi would get the ladies he had brot#t on txmrd to serve tea, and do whatever else was necessary to make everyone more cirni-fortable."

Does Trump know this for a fact?"aman|sked.

Well, he didnt see it with his own eyes but he did show us the staterooms, which still have scratches on the marble."

Anyone who would so on a Trump boat," said an old friend, has no self-respect. What else was on it?"

Why does Trump need a bullet-proof sauna?"

It wasnt Trumps idea - it was Khashoggis. Adnan had a fear that someone might tiry to blow him away while he was sweating. It was a great coin

Former Hostages Say Ordeal Left Security Shattered

By DENNIS PATTERSON Associated Press Writer RALEIGH (AP) The hostages held by two gunmen at a Robeson County newspaper Feb. 1 say they suffered no physical damage, but their sense of security is gone forever.

I find myself constantly looking over my shoulder, Deborah Adams, one of 20 people held hostage in The Robesonian, t

, testified Wednesday. 1 dont feel safe anywhere now because I felt safe that day at work.

Ive had nightmares, Rita Parker said as prosecutors opened their case against Eddie Hatcher and Timothy Jacobs. I found myself at work, even months after that, watching the front door every time it opened. I would go into the rest room and look for an open window. Anywhere I went. I was trying to find a way out.

Theres been nothing physical, but a lot of emotional stress, said Jo Ann Manns, the receptionist who first saw the gunmen. It definitely does something to your nerves. You wouldnt think it would, but it does. It has to all of

us.

Renee Bollinger, an ad saleswoman, said she was afraid even at shopping malls and grocery stores.

Im afraid of a lot of things I never was before, she said. I dont know if Ill ever not be nervous again. ^

Hatcher, 31, and Jacote, 20, are accused of holding up to 20 hostages at the newspaper for 10 hours while demanding an investigation of drug trafficking and corruption in Robeson County.

They have never denied taking over the newspaper, but say they had no other choice because their lives were in danger. They claim law enforcement officers were planning to kill them because they had information on drug trafficking.

But the presiding judge in the case said Wednesday defense attorneys argument that Hatcher and Jacobs had to take hostages at a Lumberton newspaper is fatally flawed.

The necessity defense is not available to private citizens who take vigilan-teaction, U.S. District Court Judge Terrence Boyle said. The perpetrator of

the harm has to be the object of the action.

Under your construction (of the law), they would have been justified in taking over a kindergarten class or a TV station, Boyle said. But you cannot randomly choose innocent persons to take action against.

In a telephone call to The Associated Press late Wednesday night, Hatcher

said Boyle should be impeached.

Judge Boyle is exhibiting outright wicked behavior, and he should be ii peached in my opinion, Hatcher said. Hes not allowing us to present our e

imito present our evidence under the necessity defense.

Hatcher has not participated in the trial, claiming his constitutional rights are being violated because his attorney of choice, William Kunstler, is not present. Kunstler is involved in a New York case and had asked for another delay in the case, which Boyle denied. ^ ^

Boyle Monday ruled that Hatcher was representing himself, but Hatcher has denied that and claimed his constitutional right to the attorney of his choice every time the judge has offered him a chance to speak in court.

Five hostages who testified Wednesday said they thought they would be killed when two men drew sawed-off shotguns from under their long coats and chained the doors.

I really thought wed had it, said Mrs. Manns. I thought they were going to get rough. 1 didnt know if we were going to get out alive or not.

Arrests

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (AP) Eight people have been Crested and more than $38,000 of stolen property has been recovered

after a two-month investigation into embezzlement from Northern Telecom.

Detective J.L. Suitt of the Durham County Sheriffs Department said he was contacted by Northern Telecom officials on July 7 about the theft of a large amount of copper wire.

Police said $2,605 in Northern Telecom property was recovered from two Granville County homes. Suitt said three other residences in Durham and Granville counties have been searched, resulting in the recovery of $6,974 of North Telecom products. Arrests are pending in those cases, he said.

The recovered property includes copper wires, tools, ladders, desks, office chairs, office supplies, trash cans, desk calendars and lighting fixtures, Suitt ^aid.

Murder-Suicide

VILAS, N.C. (AP) - An elderly Watauga County couple was found dead at home early Wednesday in what the sheriff said was a murder-suicide carried out by the husband.

Ralph William Hayes, 78, and Elma Blanche Hayes, 75, of Route 1, Vilas, died of single gunshot wounds in their heads, said Sheriff James C. Red Lyons.

At 7:10 a.m., Hayes called his son and told him that Mrs. Hayes was dead but did not say how she had died, Lyons said. Mrs. Hayes had been suffering from a prolonged illness and was in declining health, Lyons said.

The son, Johnny Hayes, 44, who lived about IV2 miles away, drove immediately to his parents house, arriving at 7:20 a.m., Lyons said. When he got there, they both were dead,the sheriff said.

The elder Hayes apparently shot his wife with a .32-caliber pistol, then turned the gun on himself, Lyons said. The apparent motive for the shooting was Mrs. Hayes medical condition. Lyons said that Hayes, a retired plumber, had been in good health.

LAKE NORMAN, N.C. (AP) -Charles Raper Jonas, a former Republican congressman who has did at the age of 83, was a pioneer who was instrumental in developing a two-party system in North Carolina, politicians say.

More than anyone else, Charlie Jonas was the father of the two-party political system in North Carolina, Gov. Jim Martin said. The General Assembly repeatedly tried to redistrict him from his electoral strength, only to create new Republican congressmen to repre

sent his former constituents, while he taught new constituents to split their tickets.

Jonas, a congressman for 20 years, died Wednesday at his home after being ill for several years.

Jonas, known to both parties as Mr. Republican, served in the U.S. Congress from 1952 to 1972 under presidents Eisenhower to Nixon. He was the second Republican congressman from North Carolina this century; the first was his father, Charles A. Jonas, who was elected in

1928 during Herbert Hoovers landslide.

In his first decade, he served as a representative from the 10th District and later from the 8th and then 9th districts until his retirement in 1972. He was succeeded in the seat by Republican Jim Martin, who served for 12 years before becoming governor.

Charlie Jonas is gone now, and we will sorely miss him, Martin said. For 20 years, he served honorably in the United States Congress and

was revered as a pillar of integrity. He fought for a strong militai^ defense and for a sound fiscafpoli-cy.

Jonas was bom Dec. 9,1904, and graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1925. A half-miler, he captained the first UNC track team to win a Southern Conference title.

The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Lincolnton. Burial will be in Hollybrook Cemetery.

By The Associated Press

The staid world of judicial campaigning is doffing its black robes and lacing on boxing gloves as Gov. Jim Martins Republican appointees face voters who have put Democratic judges in office for almost a century.

Democrats have won every judicial election above the District Court level the last 92 years. But the political climate is right this year, and the five Martin appointees running for Superior and appellate court this year offer the GOP its best chance since 1896, party officials say.

Democratic competition for the seats has led to the fiercest though still judicially restrained campaigning in a long time, state GOP spokesman Robert Jones said.

Candidates for higher courts are elected statewide, meaning people in New Bern vote for judges who sit in Superior Court in Burnsville. Republican nominees havent had much hope in a state that until recently has been a Democratic stronghold.

The system of electing judges statewide is being challenged in federal court in Wilmington. But it seems doubtful it will te resolved in time to help candidates like Robert Orr of Asheville and Donald Smith of Lumterton, appointed to the Court of Appeals in 1986 and 1988 respectively.

Since his election in 1984, Martin, the second Republican governor elected this century, has made 18 Republican appointments to 21 judgeships made vacant by resignation and retirement. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported.

Chances that his appointees will be elected depend on how deep voters go in voting Republican, Jones said. If they vote for George Bush for president, Martin for governor and Jim Gardner for lieutenant governor, they might vote for Sam Wilson for state attorney general.

Political wisdom is that once they make that crossover, they stay with that party, Jones said.

In 1984, North Carolina voted for Republicans Ronald Reagan, U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and Martin, but made the switch to Democrat at the lieutenant governors level.

Navy Embraces Electricity As Its Main Power Thrust

By NORMAN BLACK AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Navys next new warship wiU be propelled by electric motors instead of diesel, gas turbine or nuclear power, the services top admiral has decided.

Adm. Carlisle A.H. Trost, in a speech delivered earlier this week at a classified symposium, surprised many in the audience by announcing the Navy would no longer just dabble in research of integrated electric drive propulsion but instead would embrace it as the power plant of the future.

In view of its many well-known advantages, I am declaring that integrated electric drive, with jts associated cluster of technologies, will be the method of propulsion for the next class of surface battle force combatants, Trost said.

And I am directing all the major Navy organizations involved in these efforts to concentrate their energies toward that objective. Its something that has stayed in the laboratory too long, and we need to tear down Uiose barriers that have prevented its development.

The Pentagon released excerpts of Trosts remarks Wednesday.

Among other advantages, the advent of electric-drive motors would put sufficient electrical generating capacity on Navy warships to power exotic weapons of the future like lasers and directed energy weapons, the admiral added.

Trost, the chief of naval operations, served as the keynote speEtker Monday at a symposium sponsored by ^ U.S. Naval League and held behind closed doors at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at White Oak, Md., outsicte Washington.

The symposium was limited to industry executives and military officials with clearances of secret or higher and deigned to assess the Navys view of what its combat fleet might look like in the 21st century. Although the symposium was classified, the Pentagon released an unclassified version of Trosts speech that inclu the statements revealing his decision on electric propulsion.

Lt. Cmdr. Craig (Juigley, a Navy spokesman, said the service has studied electric propulsion for surface warships off and on fm* years, always devoting relatively small amounts of money to the w(Mrk. Some Navy ships of the past were built with electric drive units, but their performance was considered subpar, the spokesman noted.

The march of technology, however, already has improved performance and more uins can be made, Trost told his audience. A modem, efficient electric propulsion system offers

huge savings in weight and manpower along with new flexibility in designing a ships hull and more room for weapons aboard, the admiral added.

Such a system would eliminate the need for the huge gas turbine engines that drive the Navys newest cruisers and frigates for example, four on each Aegis-class cruiser.

Instead, a ship would be fitted with power generators to produce electricity that in turn would drive electric motors. Those motors, in turn, would drive propeller shafts directly, eliminating the need for reduction gears and other mechanical engine machinery, Trost said.

Electric drive is an old idea with a remarkable new potential, the four-star admiral asserted. The advantages we can already see are enormous... and thats just the basic technology itself.

Equally significant are the other technologies that can be clustered with it...; the electrical distribution system that can deliver such power either to propulsion or weapons, and in amounts substantial enough to permit the operation of directed energy weapons....

Quigley and other Navy officials said they were unaware of any

specific new breakthrough or study that might have prompted Trosts decision.

The admiral himself, in his meech, cited recent advances in the field of superconductivity but suggested he was mainly tryii^ to break down institutional barriers to change.

In other words, we need a firm goal, Trost declared. This is a case where the benefits of a specific application of technology are so obvious that we need to invert the normal scheme of thin^.

The Navy is just now beginning to build a new tym of surface warship the so^alled Arleigh Burke class of destroyers and thus probably wont begin designing another until well into the 1990s.

But Trosts decision appears likely to give impetus to an effort begun in 1986 by now retired Vice Adm. Joseph Metcalf to force the Navy to reassess its modern-day principles for ship construction.

Metcalf, as the deputy chief of naval operations for surface warfare, encountered much opposition from traditionalists by suggesting the Navy should be building uiw-sit-ting, ugly warships - without any bridges or superstructure that could be packed from bow to stem with missile tubes.

By JERRY ESTILL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Family physicians are grossly underpaid relative to surgeons and other high-priced specialists, says a long-awaited report laying the groundwork for potentially massive changes in the way medicine is practiced in the United States.

Ordered up by Congress three years ago, the 2,000-page survey released Wednesday is certain to spark sharp debate in the medical profession and beyond.

If the study recommendations were applied immediately, heart surgeons would suffer a 45 percent reduction in their Medicare fees and general practitioners would receive a 65 percent raise.

But because of the complex and emotionally loaded issues surrounding any discussion of health care -not to mention the competition for dollars and cents no one is predicting an early and literal application.

luat is not to say the preliminary skirmishing will not begin immediately and be intense.

Dr. William L. Roper, head of the federal agency that pays the medical bills for more than 31 million elderly and disabled Americans on Medicare, held out the prospect Wednesday that there are some things a budget-conscious Congress might want to do in 1989 before the mega-ctebate is completed.

For example, he said, Congress might use the study as a rationale for trinuning some Medicare-approved payments from the top end of the scale without adding much or anything at the bottom end.

Nobody is going to get 65 percent more from Medicare next year, for example, he said.

Even ttie father of the $2.3 million study told reporters it would not be practical to implement its recommendations at once. Harvard medical economist William C. Hsiao said a five-year phase in period might be

His proposal wiHild attempt to change ttiat.

You can predict that under the new system, doctors will be willing to spend a lot more time with patients to examine and counsel them, Hsiao said. Ri^t now, physicians are being penalized financially for spending time with patients.

Moreover, he said, the changes could encourage more young doctors to go into primary patient care and lower the ovenll cost of medical treatment.

Roper, who heads the Health Care Financing Administration, hailed Hsiaos work although he expressed reservations about whether it should serve as the basis for a wholesale revision of Medicare pay scales. Ropers agency contracted for the

$2.3 million study. He said it provides, a scientific basis for what medical, observers have known for some, time.

He cautioned that the new system' advocated in the report would not' necessarily constrain overall medi-' cal costs - which are rising far; faster than any other segment of the U.S. economy - and could worsen' the ... problem if the resulting income redistributions encourage' those physicians who face fee reduc-' tions to increase the volume or inten- sity of services.

Even though the impact of the report is likely to take years to per-? coiate throu^out the health care, system, the attention it is generating within the profession is intense. ;

'Lap Of Luxury'

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - A tax shelter promoter who lived in the lap of luxury admitted at his sentencing he masterminded multimillion-dollar fraud and racketeering schemes that resulted in his 27-year prison sentence.

My arroganc did not allow me to fully examine the events through anothers eyes, John Peter Galanis told the court Wednesday. I thought of myself as a kind man, imparting good values, not a racketeer. Prosecutors alleged Galanis was behind schemes that defrauded investors, financial institutions and the

public out of $150 million and resulted in the failures of banks in two states. Chief U.S. District Judge Charles Brieant did not impose any fine on Galanis, 45, formerly of Greenwich, Conn., and now of Del Mar, Calif; Galanis faced up to 207 years in pris-> (m and $8 million in fines. >

Galanis was convicted July 5 by a U.S. District Court jury for participating in a Greenwich-based racketeering enterprise that looted banks, fleeced investors and defrauded the government of taxes; He was convicted of 44 various counts.

Hsiaos study pointedly does not say any categoiy of physician is overpaid or underpaid in actual dollars and cents but rather that the way they divide the financial pie is unfair and potentially detrimental to sound medical treatment.

Officially, it is entitled A National Study of Resource-based Relative Value Scales For Physicians Services.

In simplest terms, what Hsiaos work suggests is that if a physician faces the option of performing surgery or using an eoually promising but less financially rewarding treatment, the present fee system encourages surgery.

L.A. Times-Washington Post

The Shroud of Turin, revered by many as the sheet in which the bodv of Jesus was wrapped prior to burial, was made in the 14th century, according to reports apparently leaked fr(n a laboratory analysing the cloth.

Luigi Gonella, scientific advisor to the Archbishop of Turin, refused to give a specific date for the shroud but said in a telephone interview with the Washington Post Monday that the rumors printed in British newspapers agreed with information he received informally from scientists analysing the cloth in Britain.

Thiw laboratories have completed radiocarbon tests to determine the age of the cloth. Researchers at two of them Oxford University in England and University of Arizona Wednesday said that the dates determined by the three laboratories agreed closely and are accurate within plus or minus 100 years.

Formally, the specific dates are still being held secret until an an-nouncment from the archbishop, expected within days.

A 14th-century date for the shroud agre^ with the historical record that is when the cloth first ai^red. But the tests are unlikelv to dissuade those who believe the cloth is Jesus burial shroud.

Shroud Guild, has already been quoted as saying that there are scientists willing to challenge the scientific results if they contradict their belief in the authenticity of the cloth.

The shroud is about 14 feet by feet ai^ carries a faint straw-colored image of both the front and back of a mans body. It first surfaced in the 13508 ~ in Urey, France where a knight presented it to the local church.

It attracted little immediate attention. But years later, as rumors of its authenticity spread, church.officials launched several investigations. The bishop of the region. Bishop Pierre dArcis, reported to the pope that he had located the artist who had cunningly painted... by a clever sleight rf hand the double image. He reported

it was made for profit, as pilgrims of the time often visited shrines of great relics and left hefty dimations.

Ihe pope declared that the image could be displayed, but with no cer-em<my and with an accompanying disclaimer that the cloth was not genuine. That requirement was later ignored, and the shroud was taken on tours that were apparently extremely jNTofitable for its owners.

The Roman Catholic church has never declared the cloth to be authentic, though many thousands believe it is.

History Courses Lacking

WASHINGTON (AP) - American schools should require students to take more and broader history courses, a special education commission said in a report released to-day.

The report by the 17-member Bradley Commission on History in Scluxds said the history curricula offered to students at all levels were too narrow, and that teachers had too little time to provide the proper context for historical facts.

The panel recommended that history be required of ail students, regardless of whether they planned to attend college.

**History shmild not just be a mad dash throu^ the centuries with teachers trying desperately to get to the 1980s before school lets out in June, said commission chairman Kenneth T. Jackson, Mellon Professor of Histoi7 and Social ciences at Columbia University.

The report said 15 percent of high lool students do not take any iierican history and that at least 50 'either world his-

5ry or Western civilization.

' The commission was created in 1987 in response to widespread concern about the quality of histoi^ teaching in elementary and secondary schools.

The report said the number of required courses in histo^ had declined while other social disciplines and new fieldsincluding sex and health education and computer courses expanded their roles in the basic public school curriculum.

; It said four states require world history for high school graduation, 12 states have an optional or combination world historv requirement, and 34 have no world history requirement. Four states have no U.S. history requirement, it said.

The commission recommended that schools require the study of history during four of the six years in grades 7 through 12.

Congress OKs $300 Billion Defense Plan

By HELEN DEWAR

L.A. TImes-WashingUMi Post N^ws Sm*vIc

WASHINGTON - Congress Wednesday broke a bitter ^dlock with President Reagan over arms control and approved a $300 billion defense compromise that drops some pnqpos-ed curbs tm the Strategic Defense Initiative and other weapons programs that Reagan denounced in vetoing a defense bill last month.

Within hours after agreement with the White House was announced, the fiscal 19^ defense-authorization bill was on its way to Reagans desk with a 369-to-48 vote of approval from the House and a 91-to-4 blessing from the Senate.

As worked out with Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci, the compromise dropped proposed restrictions on development of space-based missile defenses but rejected Reagans attempt to add to Congress previous allocation of $4.1 billion for SDI.

It also denied Reagans request for more money fw a new rail-based MX missile but would allow an additional $100 million for the controversial (HTogram for a possible total of $600 millimi, which is close to what Reagan sought, if the next president wants it.

It continues existing weapons curbs aimed at forcing continued U.S. compliance with U.S.-Soviet nu-clear-arms treaties, but a House-initiated moratorium on testing of new low-flying weapons was scuttled.

All of these were points of contention in the furor last month over the veto, which Reagan characterized as a blow against weakness and accommodation but Democrats assailed as a move to help Republican presidential nominee George Bush and other GOP candidates this fall by portraying the Democrats as opposed to defense.

Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., and Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., chairmen of the two chambers Armed Services

committees, said Reagan could have gotten the changes at the start if he had sou^t a compromise. The truth is they wanted an issue rather than a bill. Now, for whatever reason, they want a bill, not an issue, Nunn said.

Although Nunn characterized the modifications, as primarily cosmetic and Aspin called them minor, conservative Republicans who supported Reagans earlier veto said they were important victories for Reagans defense program. Sen. Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo., called it a near-total victory.

The compromise was hailed by, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater as going a long way (toward) answering the concerns that the president had in his Aug. 3 veto of the earlier bill.

Praise for the compromise was included in statements from the White House that appeared to strike a more conciliatory tone toward the Demo-cratic-controlled Congress as it at

tempt to complete work and adjourn bymid-OctobcT.

Similarly, Congress, anxious to avoid another end-of-the-session scrap with Reagan over its failure to pass individual spending bills before the start of a new fiscal year, lost no time in speeding passage of the bill to authorize defense programs as a (mursor for the appropriations bill, which would provide tne money to fund them.

Congressional leaders hope to have Reagan sign the authorization bill in time for approval of a defense-ap-propriations bill Friday along with the half-dozen other spending bills that remain to be passed before the new fiscal year begins Saturday. If Congrc^ passes all its appropriations bills on time this year, it would be the first time in 11 years that it has has been accomplished.

But it was a measure of the lingering distrust between Congress and the White House that Democrats were unwilling to pass the appropria

tions bill, which includes new humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan Contras as well as funding for the Pentagon, before Reagan signs the authorization bill that carries the congressional weapons constraints.

As a double dose of insurance, the weapons curbs have been written as well into the appropriations bill and will be dropped from it only when Reagan signs the authorization bill.

Nunn and Aspin, angry after Reagan shunned Carluccis advice in vetoing the first defense bill, had earlier required a written commitment from Reagan that Carlucci was deputized to negotiate on his behalf. They also got assurances that Reagan would sign the second bill be fore they would sign their names to it.

The $300 billion total, reflecting a slight decrease from current spending for defense, was never at issue because it was set by last falls budget agreement between Reagan and Congress.
