irwfMerchants Expecting Major Holiday Sales

By Carol Tyer

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Greenville merchants said they expected today to be the most lucrative shopping day of the year so far, and many felt it would be the biggest day of the entire year.

Roses manager Mike Leonard said today will no doubt be the largest day of The Plaza mall stores year so far. He said people crowded into the store at 7 a.m. to catch morning specials and he expected the influx of people to continue all day.

The manager said, however, he believes, based on previous years experience, that his store will have even greater revenues on a couple of days before Christmas. We get more of the last-minute shoppers than most stores, he said.

Two other stores among The Plazas 45 businesses opened earlier than the usual 10 a.m. opening time today Penneys at 8 a.m. and Brodys at 9 a.m.

The Plaza began offering today a 70-passenger trolley to take shoppers and their packages to and from its new parking lot south of the mall. The trolley will run from

Funeral

Attracts

Thousands

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEA SMYRNI, Greece Several thousand mourners today attended funeral services for shipping heiress Christina Onassis at a cathedral her father helped build in this Athens suburb.

About 500 friends and relatives packed the St. Fotini cathedral to hear 15 priests perform the 45-minute Greek Orthodox funeral liturgy.

Ms. Onassis silver-bordered, brown mahogany coffin lay under the cathedrals dome as the bearded, golden-robed priests chanted the Byzantine sermon accompanied by an all-male choir.

Thierry Roussel, Ms. Onassis fourth ex-husband, stood alone behind the flower-covered coffin, which was flanked by Ms. Onassis relatives and friends.

Greek government ministers, politicians, shipowners and businessmen stood under the cathedrals frescoed ceilings as the priests chanted the service.

Roussel, who divorced Ms. Onassis in 1987 after two years of marriage, would not answer reporters questions.

Ms. Onassis, 37, died Saturday of a pulmonary edema, or accumulation of fluid in the lungs, in the Buenos Aires, Argentina, home of long-time friends. However, the cause of death is still under investigation. She was

Carolina East Malls two anchor stores. Sears and Belk, opened at 8 a.m. and offered specials, said Harvey Lindsay, mall manager. He said, probably as a result of the early openings, many shoppers were already inside the mall before the 10 a.m. opening of the other stores. . ^ .

Lindsay said if history means anything, today will be the largest day of Carolina Easts shopping year. He said he believes 20,000 shoppers visited the mall in 1987 on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Greenville restaurants were geared up today to feed the shoppers. Nancy Cheng, a spokesperson for Peking Palace restaurant at Greenville Square Shopping Mall, said she expected that customers will be more plentiful than usual as people take lunch and dinner breaks from shopping.

Larry Messer, sales manager for Grant Buick-Mazda, said his store was already experiencing greater traffic than usual by late this morning. A lot more people are out today than usual and some of them are looking at cars, he said.

FmHA Completes Warnings On Delinquent Farm Loans

By Robin Wright

LAT-WF NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration has decided against a diplomatic initiative with Iran during its final two months in office to free nine American hostages held by pro-Iranian extremists in Lebanon, U.S. sources say.

Nations that have served as intermediaries between Tehran and Washington during the last decade of hostility have encouraged the United States recently to provide a signal or gesture that would allow the Islamic republic to save face while reversing its disdain for the Great Satan, according to European sources.

Although senior administration officials have probed the options, sources say that Secretary of State George P. Shultz in particular has opposed any initiative, insisting that Iran must make the first move.

It would be unseemly for us to be seen chasing them, said a State Department official, who asked not to be named.

That means they're abandoning the hostages charged a relative of an American captive.

Hostage families. Middle East analysts and other interested parties long had anticipated that the transition to the administration of President-elect George Bush would provide a window of opportunity" during which both sides could lay the groundwork for btdter relations by negotiating freedom for some or all of the hostages.

I would think President Reagan would want to put this behind him before he leaves office. said Peggy Say, sister of hostage Terry A. Anderson, who has l)een held longer than any foreign hostage in Lebanon. I would think he would be ashamed to do otherwise.

WASHINGTON - The Farmers Home Administration is mailing out today the last of 83,480 delinquency notices to farmers who owe more than $8 billion in past-due government loans.

Agency officials began sending out the notices by certified mail on Nov. 15 telling FmHA borrowers they have 45 days to complete and return the nine forms. Basically, the notices tell farmers about the options they have for settling their

debt, including restructuring and write-offs.

Congress ordered FmHA in the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to revise its lending practices, including ways to handle long-overdue debt owed by thousands of farmers. Parts of the law were put into effect earlier in the year but debt writedown, or forgiveness, kicked in this month.

The purpose of the notices is to give delinquent borrowers an opportunity to let FmHA know how they want to handle their debt under the new laws provisions.

Leland H. Swenson, president of

the National Farmers Union, explained; The new law basically says FmHA must give borrowers whose delinquency was caused by factors beyond their control 45 days to convince the agency that it could recover more by working with them than it could by forcing them out. Swenson added: Clearly, the law puts the burden on borrowers to prepare their financial arguments quickly and thoroughly.

If a farmers response, or application, to FmHA on how he plans to settle the debt is accepted by the

Chatty Suspect

TOWSON, Md. (AP) - Authorities arrested a bank robbery suspect who dialed the Baltimore FBI office collect from San Diego and chatted 45 minutes as agents traced his name through a computer.

The agents learned he was the last of three suspects wanted in a bank robbery last week in nearby Catonsville. They confirmed his identity and the location of the public phone where he was talking and alerted agents at the San Diego office to pick him up.

The rambling conversation ended with his arrest.

He i(lentified himself, said Jim Dearborn, an FBI spokesman in Baltimore. He wanted to talk to some people in law enforcement about his situation ... concerning any charges that might have been outstanding.

Through the National Crime Information Center, agents learned that Ryan Patrick Saunders, 23. had been charged in a Baltimore County warrant with the Nov. 17 robbery of a Baltimore Federal Financial savings and loan office in Catonsville, Dearborn said.

Saunders was being held by the San Diego Police Department ptmding extradition, according to Baltimore County police spokesman E Jay Miller.

Senate Pecking Order Calls The Shots

WASHINGTON - There will be 11 new senators in the 101st Congress that convenes Jan. 3, but they soon will find they arent all created equal.

Republicans, who suffered a one-seat loss in this months elections and were left at a 55-45 disadvantage, can take slight consolation as the pecking order of the new freshman class falls into place when the Senate meets to elect its leadership next week.

Atop the new seniority list is Republican Slade Gorton, who won his comeback bid in Washington state. He takes that spot as the only

former senator in the incoming cldss

The top status will be at least a minimal Doost for Gorton. It entitles him to first pick of vacant office suites in the three Senate office buildings and perhaps a few other perks, like a coveted hideaway office in the Capitol.

In the Senate Republican Conference, the party conclave that makes committee assignments for GOP members, Gortons prior service also will give him a leg up on his freshman colleagues in the class of89.

Last on the seniority list will be Montana Republican Conrad Burns, the former farm broadcaster and Yellowstone County Commissioner

who ousted incumbent Democrat John Melcher.

If Burns wants to know what to expect, he should ask North Dakota Democrat Kent Conrad, who came in dead last in the seniority sweepstakes two years ago and wound up with an office off a dank stairwell in the farthest corner of the Hart Senate Office Building.

Republicans also hold the next three positions on the seniority list. All are lawmakers who are moving from the House to the Senate; Trent Lott of Mississippi, Jim Jeffords of Vermont and Connie Mack of Florida.

Lott ranks first among the three because he is a 16-year House veteran who rose to the partys No. 2

leadership position in the chamber. Jeffords, after 14 years in the House, ranks next; and Mack, a six-year House member, will be next in line of seniority.

In the arcane scheme of things senatorial, politicians who have been governors get less credit than House members. Being governor isnt legislative experience, after all, and Congress tends to favor its own.

Things are different over there, Lott said recently, grinning and shaking his head after trying to master the details of the Senate seniority system.

Three incoming freshman senators have been governors, all Democrats: Virginias Charles Robb, Robert Kerrey of Nebraska

and Richard Bryan ol Nevada, who will be ranked in that order. Among freshmen with the same qualifications, ties are broken by the population of the state from which a senator is elected Bringing up the rear of the seniority list are three new senators who have no experience that earns credit in the Senate ranking scheme. Again, they are ranked by the sizes of their states: millionaire businessman Herb Kohl, a Wisconsin Democrat; Joseph Lieberman, the Connecticut attorney general who defeated incumbent Lowell Weicker; and Montanas Burns.

Damage At Nuclear Plant Irreversible

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOLDEN, Colo. - A congressional investigator says damage at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant from radioactive materials and toxic chemicals may be irreversible and even the plants defenders admit a cleanup would be costly.

' The ^ky Flats plant, which makes weapons components from plutoni-iim, has become the target of safety and environmental concerns over the years. There have been fires, lawsuit settlements and studies showing higher cancer rates and plutonium contamination.

' I dont believe that its possible to reverse the harm that has been done at Rocky Flats, said Bob Alvarez, who works for the U.S. Senates governmental affairs committee, which monitors nuclear weapons complexes.

I dont think you can retrieve the stuff (solvents mixed with plutonium) ttiats migrating down to the groundwater at Rocky Flats, said Alvarez.

. The 385-acre plant site 16 miles northwest of Denver is surrounded by a 6,550-acre, federally owned buffer zone.

Fred Dowsett, head of the Colorado Health Departments waste management division, said concentrations of hazardous compounds in some groundwater on the plant site are 20,000 times above the drinking water stan^rd.

But Dowsett said that in itself poses no threat to local residents.

' The nature of the plant, with a large security zone around it, means groundwater contamination is confined to the area of the plant, he said. .Theres a large uninhabitated buffer zone before it can get off site.

' Officials say all 107 waste sites at Rocky Flats are closely monitored. The monitoring also has intensified in recent years, they said.

' But they acknowledge it might cost hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars to undertake an effective cleanup.

William Fenzel, a General Accounting Office investigator who headed a recent safety study of Rocky Flats, likened predicting groundwater flow to forecasting Colorado weather.

: The Department of Energy and its contractor, Rockwell International, have conceded they lack sufficient information about groundwater migration, Fenzel said, because they have decided to drill 200 additional test wells around the plant during the next few years.

I He said that raises questions about just how polluted the site actually is.

: I think the severity of the problem is such that even if they spend an enourmous amount of money on cleanup, areas of the site still may be restricted for decades and even possibly centuries, he said.

> Since Rocky Flats opened in 1952, large quantities of toxic, carcinogenic, chemicals and radioactive materials have been handled at the plant. During the plants first 25 years of operation, many of those materials were dumped iit the site.

' Some of the deadliest substances plutonium, uranium, americium and chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene, or TCE; tetrachloroethylene, PCE; and carbon tetrachloride will remain in the plants groundwater aiid soil for decades, if not longer.

Poors Benefactor Killed

ERIE, Pa. (AP) - A poverty stricken man who collected aluminum cans so he could give money, food and clothing to other poor people was killed by a motorist while making his rounds, police said.

Arthur Bailey, 69, was either riding or walking his bicycle along a city street when he was struck and killed by a pickup truck Tuesday night.

Bailey, who aided 28 families, died while raising funds for a disabled

girl who needed money, said Denise Swope.

He was the type of person who would give the shirt off his back, said Denise Burgos. Hed go down to his last penny or his last dime if somebody needed medications, cigarettes or anything else. Thats always the way he was.

Police said a 27-year-old man has been charged with several offenses, including vehicular homicide while driving under the influence and hit and run involving a death.

Ozarks Students Will Hold First-Ever School Dance

By Donna Bryson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PURDY, Mo. - When the high school stu(ients in this small town in the Ozarks hold their first-ever school dance outsiders wont be welcome and neither will reporters.

A ban on school dances at Purdy High School was struck down by a judge last summer and the first dance is scheduled for Dec. 10, although administrators are still fighting it.

Im looking forward to it. Im excited, said Nancy Fox, who is in charge of choosing a dance theme, music and colors for the paper streamers.

A group of 21 Purdy students, including Miss Fox, an their parents filed a lawsuit challenging the dance ban in 1986 with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union. In the past, students had only small dances at the community center in this small southwest Missouri town.

The case drew nationwide attention, in part because of its similarities to the plot of the movie Footloose, about a fictional town where dancing was banned.

U.S. District Judge Russell Clark ruled in August that the ban in the rural town of 900 unconstitutionally promoted the values of residents

Change Proposed

RALEIGH (AP) - The State Goals and Policy Board has recommended a package of changes in the state civil justice system, including one that would allow accident victims to collect some damages even if they were partly negligent.

That proposal is known as comparative fault. Under the current legal doctrine of contributory negligence, accident victims are barred from collecting damages if they are partly at fault.

The boards recommendations will be sent to Gov. Jim Martin, who can decide whether to seek approval for them by the General Assembly.

Tire Fire

CHADBOURN, N.C. (AP) - A blaze of undetermined origin destroyed an old warehouse containing more than 75,000 tires and forced the temporary evacuation of more than 500 people on Thanksgiving Day, officials said.

Dense smoke from the fire, which began about 3 a.m. Thursday, prompted an air quality crisis and more than 500 people were evacuated from a 20-square-block area for about five hours Thursday afternoon. Town Manager Marshall Shepherd said.

No injuries resulted from the blaze.

who opposed dancing for religious reasons.

The school board has appealed, but the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis has allowed plans for a dance to proceed pending its review. The court has scheduled arguments in the case at the end of the year.

School Superintendent Sheldon Buxton and Principal Ron Richardson devised dance guidelines admittedly more restrictive than those at other schools.

I dont know of any other schools that are having a dance that is this important, Buxton said. This is not an ordinary dance.

Buxton and Miss Fox said the most controversial of the rules is one barring from the dance all but the 160 Purdy High School students.

Miss Fox said classmates who date students from other schools would like to invite them. But Buxton said he feared outsiders bent on disruption would be attracted by the dances notoriety.

I think itll still be fun, Miss Fox said. I think that a majority of the students will show. It will be a fun activity I like to dance.

Another guideline barring reporters from the gymnasium where the dance is scheduled was inspired by the students. They want a homecoming dance, not a forum for the media, Buxton said.

The administration also vetoed the student councils decision to accept a Springfield radio stations offer of a disc jockey and music for free.

Buxton said the station had made derogatory comments about the board. (I am) trying to neutralize what I consider to be an emotional thing. The Purdy dance case had been the subject of humorous skits and comment on the station.

Miss Fox said other disc jockeys and stations also have offered free music, and student leaders are making a second choice. I dont really think itll matter too much who it is, as long as theres music, Miss Fox said.

B-IB Crash Linked To Icy Wings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO - Ice buildup on a plane that was not equipped with wing de-icers may have caused the crash of a B-lB bomber at an Air Force base in South Dakota last week, according to a published report.

The Chicago Tribune today quoted an unidentified Pentagon official as saying the $280 million aircraft was neither designed nor equipped with wing de-icers.

The four crew members ejected safely when the bomber crashed Nov. 17 while approaching for a landing during bad weather at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D.

It was the second bomber to crash in less than two weeks and the third crash of a B-IB in the past 14 months.

The Pentagon source, who requested anonymity, said an ice alert was in effect at the time of the crash, and another bomber that landed about five minutes earlier had a buildup of about half an inch of ice on the leading edge of its wings, the Tribune reported.

The newspaper quoted an unidentified aeronautical engineer as saying that such a buildup of ice could cause a plane to crash, not from excess weight, but from a change \n< the shape of the airfoil and a resulting loss in lift.

Mike Mathews, a spokesman for Rockwell International, the prime contractor for the B-IB, confirmed that the bomber, unlike civilian aircraft of comparable size, is not equipped with wing de-icers.

Our wind tunnel tests showed it did not need them for normal cold weather operations, said Mathews, who contended that the ice buildup was not significant.

A former military pilot told the Tribune that many of the nations other military jets are not equipped with wing de-icers. He cited the T-38 and the A4.

Theyre built to just boom through the low-altitude weather and get to the clear air at higher altitudes, he said.

One function of the B-lB, however, is to fly hundreds of miles at extremely low altitudes.

Maj. Joseph Saxon, an Ellsworth spokesman, told the newspaper, Light rime icing was forecast for 2,000 to 16,000 feet for the period of the flight. He described rime as a type of granular ice that forms in low-altitude fog and below clouds.

Saxon declined to comment further on whether ice may have been a factor in the crash.

Special Panel To Consider Military Base Cuts Monday

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - A special commission, mindful of the fierce political battles that could erupt if military cost-cutting steps are not applied evenly across the country, is scheduled to begin drafting Monday a long-awaited hit list of obsolete U.S. bases, one of the panels co-chairmen said this week.

'We know our work product has to pass muster with the secretary of defense and Congress. It cant be done insensitively, said Jack Edwards, the former Republican congressman from Alabama who is co-chairman of the commission.

During a telephone interview from his law office in Mobile, Edwards said the 12-member volunteer com-n\ission understands we ought not to lose our minds when it comes to picking a particular area for base closings.

"We will be sensitive to that, he said, asserting that a list that balances regional interests stands to gain the most political support in Congress.

Edwards insisted that no preliminary lists have been drawn up by the commission which meets here privately Monday and Tuesday and he declined to say if bases named in previous Pentagon lists might end up on the new one.

The Commission on Base Realignment and Closure, also chaired by former Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, a Connecticut Democrat, was created last May by Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci in anticipation of a new law, enacted last month, requiring a bipartisan group to lead the politically difficult task of closing unneeded military bases.

The measure, which calls for closing or consolidating bases beginning

in 1990, could save taxpayers $1.5 billion to $5 billion, depending on the number of facilities involved, various congressional and Pentagon estimates show.

By law. the panel has a Dec. 31 deadline for submitting a list of targeted facilities to Carlucci. who would have until Jan. 16 to forward it to Congress. Under a take-it-or-leave-it policy, both the administration and Congress must accept or reject the entire list.

This procedure was designed to limit pressure to reserve individual facilities. Despite strong efforts by President Carter, and to a lesser extent President Reagan, to save money on military bases, not one has closed since 1977 because of the intervention of legislators who feared losing jobs and votes in their districts.

During his campaign this fall, President-elect George Bush referred to the closing of unnecessary military bases as one of the few specific ways he intended to trim the nations budget deficit.

So far, the commissions 40-member staff, drawn mostly from

the Pentagon, has been working to finish its analysis of 3,816 domestic military installations so the panel can begin choosing candidates for the hit list, said James G. Abbee, a commission spokesman.

We do the analysis and put it all on the table, Abbee said. Amcmg the criteria to be used by commissioners in their decisions are the physical condition of a base; the ability to relocate military missioiB now assigned to a base; economic and environmental impact of a base closure; local activities and facilities supporting a base; and future military requirements, he said.

The actual number of bases to be designated for closing is uncertain, although House Armed Services Committee Chairman Les Aspin, D-Wis.. predicted this month that about two dozen out of the 355 largest installations in the country should be on the list.

Some commissioners and staff have visited about 10 randomly selected" facilities and expect to see several more by mid-December to verify data supplied by the military, Abbee said.

GAS FIREPLACE LOGSBush May Back Medicare Cuts

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration will back substantial Medicare cuts of $3.5 billion to $5 billion for fiscal 1990 as part of an initial effort to cut the federal deficit, some Bush advisers and budget experts predicted Thursday.

They said any suggested cuts, at least at first, are unlikely to involve drastic changes or major restructuring of the $80 billion program, although such proposals may come later.

More likely, according to experts consulted by Bush transition aides, initial cuts would be based on the

Reagan administrations fiscal 1990 budget proposals being prepared for submission to Congress.

Bush may favor somewhat bigger or somewhat smaller cuts in some items than President Reagan will propose or a slightly different configuration, but hell be in the same ballpark, the aides and experts said.

Depending on how details are worked out, the 1990 cuts could mean savings of as much as $15 billion a year by fiscal 1995. (All such savings, in the budget world, are measured not by comparing them with what is being spent today, but by comparing them with what would be spent if current law remains in

effect and if increases were made to account for inflation and population change.)

The new administrations intention to look at Medicare as a major source of budget savings was signaled Tuesday by Richard G. Darman in statements shortly after President-elect George Bush selected him as Office of Management and Budget director.

However, even incremental cuts in the $3.5 billion-to-$5 billion range would be difficult to get through Congress because the American Hospital Association, the Federation of American Health Systems, medical groups and spokesmen for the

Retirement May Hurt Marriage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

with at least one resident older than

55.

GAINESVILLE. Fla. - Retire ment may not bring couples closer together and could damage a shaky marriage, a study says.

Retirement has no beneficial effects on the quality of marriages among older people, said Gary L^, a University of Florida gerontologist and sociology professor.

That does not mean retirement is bad, he said, but it indicates that retirement may not add anything to a marriage and certainly will not improve a bad one.

For an event that is supposed to be a real change, (retirement) has surprisingly few and surprisingly weak effects, Lee said. The negative effects are few, but retirement is not going to save a failing marriage.

Basically, people are the same folks they were before they retired; theyre just not working, he said.

One circumstance where retirement may hurt a marriage is when the husband retires, but the wife continues to work.

Lee came to these conclusions after he and an associate, Constance Shehan, studied the results of marital satisfaction questionnaires from 2,176 Washington state households

Respondents were asked to identify their own and their spouses employment status, their length of retirement and marital satisfaction.

One of the surprises Lee found was that even after a husband retires, he usually does not assist in the domestic chores around the house.

Lee said this may be a reason women report less marital satisfaction after their husbands retire if they are still working, whether inside or outside of the home.

There is also a minority of couples who have problems because the husband retires and then wants to help out more around the house. Lee

said that can make wives annoyed and dissatisfied with their marriages.

Lee said while he found that retirement does not add anything to a marriage, there are some steps that couples can take to strengthen their relationship.

aged fear some of the cuts could hurt their members or reduce the quality of medical care.

AHA Vice President Jack Owen said that new cuts in payments to hospitals in the long run would affect access to care and technology. Youre going to see more hospitals closing.

John Rother of the American Association of Retired Persons said any proposals to increase cost-sharing by beneficiaries, to cut benefits or to reduce eligibility harms those the program is designed to protect.

Medicare has long been an attractive source of budget cuts. Cutting it would help hold down the rapid escalation of government and private national spending on health, which has risen to 11.1 percent of gross national product, the highest of any major developed nation.

But perhaps most attractive to politicians is that it is possible to achieve substantial savings without totally alienating 33 million politically potent beneficiaries. This can be done by leaving benefit levels and eligibility unchanged.

Planning may be one thing that will help couples enjoy their marriages more and make a smoother transition to retirement, Lee said.

One easy thing to suggest from these results is there is a reasonable argument that couples who are both working, who retire at the same time, may find that more beneficial, he said.

Some Party Changes Essential

The problems of North Carolina Democrats cant be solved in private meetings where a few officeholders decide who will be chief.

No, the partys crisis goes much deeper than its lack of leadership. If this crisis is to be resolved, the Democrats must give its problems a thorough, open airing in an atmosphere that allows input from all levels in the party top to bottom.

Whether or not last weeks canceled meeting of Democratic officeholders was intended to be a private affair that excluded segments of the partys membership, it looked that way from the outside. The get-together between Sen. Terry Sanford, N.C. Attorney General Lacy Thornburg and Secretary of State Rufus Edmisten had the appearance of secrecy and back-room dealing that has hurt the party in the past. No blacks and no women were invited, although those that did get bids said logistics kept more invitations from being issued. That seems exclusionary. Even if it wasnt planned that way, thats the image it projected.

And that image wont raise the state Democratic party out of the abyss the defeats of the 1988 election put it in. That image wont help the party revise, revamp and strengthen its support among the states voters. It wont lure lost Democrats back from the Republican fold and it certainly wont convince the best and brightest leaders in the state to be Democrats.

No, the party needs to listen to its grassroots membership as well as its brass if its going to successfully rebuild. It needs to heed the advice of each of its segments urban, rural, agriculture, business, industrial. And yes, it should listen to its black and female leaders. Only by strengthening its forces can the Democratic party strengthen its numbers.

But to accomplish this goal means involving these factions, not alienating them. The party cannot be a remote organization where the rank-and-file members have little say-so in platform and leadership decisions.

Never before has the North Carolina Democratic party had such vigorous competition from Republicans. And never, before the November defeats, has the party so unsuccessfully vied with its opposition.

This strong two-party system is positive. It was slow developing in North Carolina, but politically the state will reap great benefits from its presence.

But for Democrats, who right now find themselves on the down side of the coin, that two-party system means some changes have to occur.

One of those changes is openness, and last weeks event sure looked like the wrong approach.Competition

A Puzzling, Emotional Election

The political campaign between Canadas Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Liberal Party opponent John Turner, as well as New Democratic Party candidate Ed Broadhurst, was as puzzling to Canadas United States neighbors as it was emotional for Canadians.

Mulroneys campaign ran into trouble when the opponents began questioning a U.S.-Canadian trade pact which would lower most trade barriers between the two nations.

The opponents touched a nerve with Canadian voters as they claimed the free trade agreement could mean the end of Canadian culture. The fear and obviously it is of concern to Canadians is that the United States culture will engulf Canada.

A further implication was that Canada itself would eventually be swallowed up and become a state, or group of states, of the U.S.

The argument was baffling to most Americans who never give a thought to the U.S. annexation of Canada. In fact, given the cleanliness and efficiency of the Canadian cities, we have to wonder what possible advantage there would be to Canadas joining the United States.

The two nations borders are virtually unguarded and citizens of both nations move back and forth across the border without the bother of a passport.

Now a stronger economic bond may be necessary to compete with a growing European economic bloc, a strong Japanese economy and the growth of other nations.

Mulroney won his election and expects to proceed with the free trade pact. We would expect the Canadian culture to withstand it even as the two nations, allied in^trade, become better able to compete in the world markets. <

The Answer Is An Easy No

BOSTON - It is certain that Peter Rosier wouldnt be on trial today if he hadnt been on television two years ago. If he hadnt told all of Fort Myers, Fla., that, I administered something to terminate her life.

His wife Patricia, after all, a woman whose lung cancer had spread to her other organs, had told everyone that she intended to commit suicide. Indeed she planned her death as a final elaborate production.

Perhaps it was a dramatic attempt to control, or shape, or choose the terms df her death. Perhaps it was an attempt to win some perverse victory over her cancer. Either way, Patricia Rosier, 43, picked the date, the time, even the wine for her last meal. She picked out the pills and she swallowed them.

Death, however, didnt play the accommodating role that had been scripted for it. While the Rosier children slept in the next room, the deep coma induced by 20 Seconal pills began to lighten. Her husband Peter, a pathologist, went desperately searching for morphine. And then, as he said a year later, he administered something.

The irony is that if Dr. Rosier told the truth on television it was not the whole truth. The morphine he administered wasnt the immediate cause of his wifes death. Patricias stepfather would testify to that after being granted immunity. At the scene of this botched attempt, Vincent Delman feared that she would become, in his words, a vegetable, and he put his hand over his stepdaughters mouth and nose.

So it was that Patricia Rosier began by attempting suicide and her stepfather finished the job But it is, nevertheless, her husband who is on trial for murder, for attempted murder, for conspiracy to commit murder.

Ellen

Goodman

In its simplest terms, the case asks whether Dr. Rosier is guilty of these crimes. But in more complicated terms, the case asks us to think about the moral difference between assisting suicide and committing murder.

The one thing everyone agrees upon is that Patricia Rosier was determined to end her own life ahead of the horrors she read into her cancer prognosis. The law today allows if that is the right word people to commit suicide. But what happens when someone who is terminally ill and utterly rational needs help to carry out the wish to die?

That is not an idle question. All over this country, husbands and wives, AIDS victims and lovers, friends and parents and children have made pacts to help each other along the way. But if we provide the pills or for that matter the bullets or the morphine shot - they request, are we just the errand-runner, the legs for these wishes?. Or are we the active accomplices in their death?

Our refusal to help means, for example, that only those people healthy enough to get a prescription themselves can choose their own death. Our inability to help means that many will die alone. But our agreement to put pills on a night stand or in a mouth could mean that com

plicity in death is justified because someone asks for it.

The Rosier case is a particularly strange one. When Patricia Rosiers suicide attempt began to fail, her panicky husband had already been drawn into the drama. Caught up in the power of her last wishes, he felt compelled to fulfill them. Her stepfather, standing over the woman in a coma, said to himself, Enough is enough.

Was Dr. Rosier morally right when he administered the morphine? Would it have been morally right to allow his wife, who had chosen suicide, to end up in a coma? I am not at all sure.

Is he, on the other hand, a murderer, even an attempted murderer in the way we understand that term? That I can answer with certainty: no. No, because he didnt begin this death. No, because he didnt complete it.

The saddest part of this story is that Patricia Rosier decided to commit suicide in the first place, to secure a gentle death. It is, worries Dn Callahan, an ethicist at the Hastings Center, an increasing terror of medical progress that lurks behind many such a choice among the ill. People feel the only way they can regain self-control is to have available the possibility of suicide.

The fear of unnecessary pain and the fear of losing control to a technological death have changed the nature of many last wishes. So, the most telling part of the Patricia Rosier story is not the one played out on television or in the courtroom. Its the tale of a woman who finally believed that suicide was more merciful than medicine.

No-Nonsense Advice From Experts

WiUiam Raspberry

WASHINGTON - The document former Presidents Ford and Carter have prepared for President-elect Bush is about what you would expect it to be - once you accept the novel brilliance of having those who have sat in the Oval Office give practical advice to the one who is about to enter it.

But it also contains an emphasis that you might find surprising.

The report, American Agenda, lays out a series of priorities, problems and suggested approaches ranging from transition and national security to the impending savings-and-loan crisis and Third World debt.

The surprise for me, at any rate is its emphatic call for a major White House-led assault* on the problem of what is called children at risk.

In three different places in the thin volume comprising the heart of the report, the two former Presidents make their pitch for moving quickly to reduce the size and potential social threat of the

It's a brilliant idea, worthy of being institutionalized not because former Presidents are necessarily smarter than new ones but because it can help new Presidents to avoid the false starts, blind alleys and partisan stalemates.'

growing underclass. It is one item on a list of six proposed priorities for the first three months of the Bush administration. It is the subject of a paper, commissioned for the report, by Isabel V. Sawhill. And it is a key part of a section of observations and priorities that contains some of the most urgent and eloquent language of the entire report.

We see two Americas, say the former chief executives, in language reminiscent of the post-riot 1968 Kerner Commission, one increasingly wealthy, one tragically poor, a land of opportunity for most and of idle hopelessness for too many, a nation never so prosperous or so profligate. And in between are middle Americans, many of whom are struggling to hold their own.

They urge Bush to pay special attention to that part of the nation that is poor, forgotten, out of work and out of hope.

Nor is their message one of those hopelessly general statements. It specifically calls, for instance, for inclusion of all eligibles in such programs as prenatal care, compensatory education, immunization and Headstart (only about a fifth of those eligible are presently included). The additional $2 billion cost would come from reduced outlays for Amtrak, Urban Development Action Grants and farm subsidies and modest increases in cigarette, liquor and gasoline taxes.

American Agenda is the brainchild of Stuart Eizenstat, Carters domestic policy adviser, and James Cannon, who held the same post in the Ford White House. A year ago, the pair persuaded their former chiefs to co-chair a nonprofit organization for the specific purpose of advising the next President.

The idea behind the proposal, says Eisenstat, was to make constructive use of former Presidents and to create a mechanism for dealing with important issues that dont get discussed in any useful way during a presidential campaign.

We had a sense that we would be going through a divisive campaign and that there would be a need to lift these key issues out of the partisan in-fighting. Our idea was that if we could identify some of the crucial problems and propose some bipartisan solutions, it would help the next President get off to a faster start.

Once Carter and Ford agreed to the concept, their erstwhile assistants put together an impressive array of experts to work through the issues and offer specific proposals for dealing with them.

Each President has his own priorities and his own world view, Ford and Carter told the President-elect. Our effort here is neither to subvert nor supplant the agenda on which you were elected. Rather, we as veterans of the Oval Office, who know the exhilaration and challenges of the presidency, who have exercised presidential power and know its reach and its limits, who have been where you will be and who have made the same kinds of decisions you must make - wish to help you get off to a fast and successful start in dealing with the daunting problems and the challenging new world you inherit.

Its a brilliant idea, worthy of being institutionalized - not because former Presidents are necessarily smarter than new ones but because it can help new Presidents to avoid the false starts, blind alleys and partisan stalemates that are the usual lot of new leaders.

What Ford and Carter are offering their successor is the sort of no-nonsense advice they wish someone had offered them.

Volunteers Say Thanks By Sharing

The Associated Press

Russ Teaque prepares food for homeless at Raleigh shelter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Most of the hundreds of needy Nori Carolinians who ate Thanksgiving turkey at churches, restaurants and Salvation Army centers were thankful^ but some homeless people ctmldnt swallow their bitterness with a slice of pumpkin pie.

You dont know you dont sleep in the street, a man at the Durham Community Kitchen said Thursday. At 10:30 a.m., he had finished his Tharcsgiving dinner and faced a long day on the citys deserted sidewalks.

In Fayetteville, about 250 people who otherwise may have gone hungry gorged on turkey, ham, casseroles, cakes and myriad other edibles at a luQch at the Salvation Army building.

And more than enough food was left over to serve supper, said Gloria Robison, coordinator for the Love Lunches program.

We are prepared for 400, she said as the feast began, adding that Love Lunches feeds about 125 people on a daily basis. More than 45 churches in the community contributed food and volunteers for the dinner.

At Fort Bragg, 7,000 pounds of turkey was prepared for the annual feast. Along with the turkey were 4,500 poun& of steamship round; 5,000 pounds of ham ; 1,600 pounds of shrimp; 1,350 pounds of nuts; 14,880 pounds of apples, oranges, grapes, pears and tangerines; 1,620 pumpkin pies; 810 mincemeat pies and 800 pounds of fruitcake.

At the Salvation Army headquarters in Greensboro, the scene was much the same, with the local restaurant association and other donors putting together a spread that included 42 turkeys, 10 cases of sweet potatoes, 10 cases of green beans, and stuffing in large foil tubs.

Salvation Army officials said they were astounded by the number of p^ple who volunteered their services.

It has to be over 150 of them, said Nancy Arthur, a secretary at the Salvation Army. People called ahead, some of them. They began calling a month ago, as soon as word got out about this.

Other people just showed up and said, Put me to work. At one time, we had people lined up waiting to do something.

Meanwhile, other volunteers fer

ried meals throughout Greensboro to those unable to make it to the dinner.

Curtis and Keith said they appreciated the free meal Thursday at McGuffeys in Asheville. If they had not been sharing the restaurant booth, the pair said, they wo^d have spent the holiday walking the streets

Curtis and Keith were two of the less fortunate that McGuffeys fed as part of the restaurants fifth annual Thanksgiving alms. The 1,000 diners expected at McGuffey s restaurants in Asheville, Hendersonville and Greenville, S.C., ran the gamut from the homeless to senior citizens.

Weve been very fortunate because the community has received the restaurant with Oj^n arms. We want to give something

back to that community. What goes around comes around, said Alan Laibson, general manager of the Asheville McGuffeys.

The meal also brings employees closer together, said Bruce Ladd.

1%ey say the best thing about Christmas is the giving of the gifts, Ladd said. You can say the same thing about Thanksgiving.

At the Hospitality House in Asheville, 25 homeless people were expected to gather for an afternoon meal served by volunteers. The Salvation Army had four turkeys in anticipation of serving 50 people.

Duplin Town Stages Its Holiday Parade

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEAUTANCUS, N.C. - Several thousand spectators lined a rural Duplin County intersection to watch what has become one of the regions most unusual holiday processions the Beautancus Community Christmas Parade.

Its an event born of a good-natured joke and kept alive by tradition, friendship and fun.

On Thursday, its 105 entries featured the squawk of sirens, the pungent aroma of horses, the glitter of beauty queens and the occasional eccentricity that city slickers would never understand.

This is our fourth annual

Christmas parade, said Charles D. Kornegay, the parade director. I dont know if you heard about it, but the first one started out as a joke.

It seems Kornegays church was building a float to enter in parades of some neighboring towns, and organizers decided they should make a practice run.

Somebody said, Why dont you drive on by the store, Kornegay said. When we did, they had 50 or 60 people standing out there, watching it go by and, boom, it just boomeranged from there.

The 400 or 500 residents of Beautancus, pronounced Bo-TANK-us, left the organizing to Kornegay, a sewing machine mechanic, and G.W. Swinson, the owner of Swin-

sons Food Mart and the police chief in Calypso.

Rules were simple: anyone could enter, as long as he or she did so by 2 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. The parade started at 3 p.m.

We were surprised after the first year at how many people said, If we knew you were going to have a parade, we would have been in it, Kornegay said.

Last year, 108 entries brought almost 5,000 spectators to Beautancus, about 15 miles south of Goldsboro, Swinson said. On Thursday, 105 entries were registered an hour before the parade started moving along its 1.2-mile route.

By the time it reached the intersection of Secondary Roads 1363

and 1306, spectators were sitting in lawn chairs, stretched out on quilts or standing in the back of pickup trucks to watch.

Swinsons dark blue police car led the procession, which included television personalities, just-elected state Rep. Charles Albertson of Beulaville, Mr. and Miss Beautancus and a dozen beauty queens from local schools and neighboring towns.

Fire engines and rescue squads from area towns inched along behind the Mount Olive Floor Takers Drill Team. Its eight members periodically stopped to strut their stuff for the crowd.

Beautancus resident Glanton Holland drew a lot of smiles as he drove his John Deere 185 Hydro lawn mower and wagon.

Bush Gets taste Of Life In Presidential Fishbowl

By David Hoffman

I LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - In the old days, when George Bush went jogging through the birch and pine forests around his home here, he was almost unnoticed.

Thursday, the president-elect, who has expressed a desire not to disturb the magic of Kennebunkport," got a taste of what living in the fishbowl of the presidency will be like.

As he appeared on the boat dock Thursday morning at Walkers

Point, the family compound here, dozens of news photographers were already lined up in the shivering cold across the cove. Bush waved from the distance and spent some time conferring on the dock with the chief and two crew members of the 95-foot Coast Guard cutter Cape Higgons, guarding his seaside home offshore.

Then Bush decided to go jogging before his Thanksgiving dinner. He changed into sweats and was driven out of the compound in the vice-presidential limosine. The big black car made a right turn on Ocean

Avenue and promptly got stuck in traffic.

The jam was caused by a convoy of two dozen reporters in rental cars who were idling on the side of the road, getting ready to follow Bush to his jogging path.

Bush looked out the window as he waited for the cars to clear smiling and waving to the reporters.

He ran for 20 minutes on dirt roads through an area where new vacation homes are being built. One family was a little startled to see 50

reporters and cameramen standing on their driveway waiting for the next president to jog by for a photo opportunity.

On the first pass. Bush could see he wasnt going to get by unless the news-media herd got out of his way, and he called out to Bruce Zanca, a press aide who was supposed to be on his way to Thanksgiving dinner with his fiances family but decided he should stick around to make sure the photo opportunity didnt get out of hand.

ordered the president-elect. As the group parted and Bush headed up the road, a reporter called out playfully, What about Noriega? Bush acknowledged the question a favorite humorous taunt during the campaing by motioning with his fist behind his back. At first he appeared to be giving the questioner what he would call an active hand gesture of displeasure, but examination of network videotapes later showed that Bush had only displayed a protruded thumb.

Got to go straight ahead. Zanca, On his second pass, a reporter

shouted a question about the ethics bill that President Reagan vetoed. Im not coming by here again, said Bush. At the end of his run, he stopped to admire the infant son of one correspondent and headed back to the splendid isolation of Walkers Point, where he was to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with his wife, Barbara, and two long-time aides, housekeeper Paola Rendon and Don Rhodes, an aide in the vice presidents Senate office. The five Bush children were on post-election vacations or spending the holiday with in-laws, a spokesman said.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -Like millions of other Americans, Barbara Bush cooked the turkey and George Bush carved it as the president-elect indulged himself in a quiet and restful Thanksgiving.

Bush, his wife and two long-thne employees shared one of their smallest Thanksgiving gatherings in memory. An aide explained that the Bushs five children and 10 grandchildren, after the long grind of the campaign, were scattered at various locations spending time with other family members.

At his family compound here. Bush spent a couple of hours in his office reading through material )repared by his transition team, and le also placed a number of happy Thanksgiving calls to supporters, an aide said.

During the morning, Mrs. Bush slipped and fell on the grounds of the compound while greeting crewmen from a Coast Guard cutter that is stationed off the point as a security precaution. She said that she caught her heel in her pants cuff and stumbled. An aide said that she was not injured.

Pay Call To White House Brings Reunion

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MILTON, Ky. - Charles Vest said he had just about given up hope on finding a way to bring his sister home from Alaska so she could be with their dying father. Then, from a hospital pay phone, he called the White House.

Vests 71-year-old father, Lester, a farmer from Trimble County, was dying of lung and bone cancer and the family couldnt scrape together enough money for the elder daughter, Teresa Vest, to fly in from Anchorage, Alaska.

It had been 14 years since Teresa had seen her family.

By the time I called the White House, I was to the point that I didn t think there was a person in

the world that cared that unless you were a really big shot, it didnt matter, Vest said.

I called her (Teresa) the night that I took Daddy to the hospital, and it was hard on her, said the 28-year-old Vest, who quit his job at a small plant in Madison, Ind., a month ago to care for his father and 65-year-old mother, who is recuperating from open-heart surgery.

The next day, Vest began calling charitable organizations and churches for help to bring his sister home to this northern Kentucky town, but without success.

Finally, through Gov. Wallace Wilkinsons office. Vest was put in touch with a social-services worker who persuaded an airline to reduce

its Alaska-to-Kentucky round-trip fare by about half. But that was still too expensive.

A long distance operator helped Vest reach the White House, where his call was finally transferred to

Rumors Are Flying At Bushs Hideaway

By Jerry Harkavy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - In this fishing port that may be the site of the next summer White House, rumors are flying as thick as herring gulls over a draggers stern.

One rumor has it that Ocean Avenue, the winding road that skirts President-elect George Bushs oceanfront estate, will be made one-way to ease the flow of traffic and enhance security. Others suggest the road will be closed to the public and that passes will be issued to townspeople who live along the route.

Bush and his wife, Barbara, were spending the Thanksgiving holiday at the family estate.

Rumors are about all the towns residents have to work with as they swap ideas about what may happen to their quaint but growing coastal village once Bush takes office Jan. 20.

There is scuttlebutt that lobster fishermen may be barred from setting their traps in the protected cove beside the president-elects 11-acre compound at Walkers Point. Bush has made it plain that he opposes any such restrictions.

Other unsubstantiated rumors tell of property sold or leased at exorbitant prices to news organizations seeking an operational base near the Bush estate.

Making their way through the

grapevine are rumors that a half-dozen helicopter pads will be built at various points in town to speed Bushs trips to and from his estate known as Walkers Point, after his grandfather who built it.

Some of the speculation is just plain fun.

The last rumor I heard is that theyre going to land the aircraft carrier Nimitz out there to bring him in, said Bushs closest neighbor, Robert Dennis, pointing to the ocean beyond Walkers Point.

The Secret Service, in accordance with long-established policy, would not comment on any rumors.

Monastery Gives Home To Babies With AIDS Virus

By Rich Cartier

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Monastic

Catholic

workers,

SAN FRANCISCO - Firefighters refused to respond to medical emergencies at the monastery, gar-bagemen wouldnt pick up its trash and a county health worker described its tiny patients as little rattlesnakes.

The reason: Starcross Community, a Roman

monastery run by lay -----------

wanted to provide a home for infants with AIDS.

Yet through it all, much of the bad was offset, said Tolbert McCarroll.

For every problem we encountered, there was some surprising force that came along to balance it, said McCarroll, author of Morning Glory Babies.

McCarroll, known as Brother Toby, said the book is an unconcealed plea to readers to adopt infants infected with the AIDS virus who otherwise will spend their days in walkers tethered to doorknobs in hospital corridors.

There are a lot of misconceptions about how ill these babies are, he said in an interview. People think they are nothing but trouble, always sick.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as we hope our story shows.

McCarroll describes a social worker yanking Starcross Monastic Communitys 12-year-old foster care license because it would not abandon plans to care for the infants, a neighbor telling reporters the nearby town of Annapolis didnt consider Starcross part of the community anymore and a poster being defaced with graffiti reading: Catch exotic diseases, kiss AIDS infected kids.

We never carried (the babies)

near the public road because of some threats shouted from cars, McCarroll writes in the 160-page book, published last month by St. Martins Press.

Even now that two years have passed, McCarroll said, good will toward us will continue to be a local sin for some time to come.

The monastery, about 120 miles north of San Francisco, cares for three or four infants with AIDS. ~

which details the first two years of Starcrosss. efforts to help the

babies, offer the most complete pic-e

ture so far of its struggles since November 1986.

Aside from neighbors fears, the most antagonistic reaction came from the government, McCarroll said.

At one point, a social worker ordered McCarrolls 82-year-old bedridden mother, who lived in a separate house on the remote property in Sonoma County, to be fingerprinted for a criminal check, McCarroll says. After an argument over the matter, he said, the monasterys license was temporarily revoked.

Despite the problems, unsolicited helpers began showing up, offering physical labor, supplies and friendship.

A banker with AIDS who has two children started showing up early in the morning to do whatever was needed; an elderly woman would drop off a newly made quilt and baby kimonos every few months; a public health worker brought diapers on his day off; and a retired New York subway worker tackled the mysteries of farm chores.

McCarroll and health officials warn that by the mid-1990s thou

Although organized religions response to the epidemic has been slow, McCarroll said AIDS gradually is teaching mpy people what it means to be Christian.

virus while leaving healthy cells untouched.

In a study published today in the journal Science, a group of researchers report that a manmade molecule called recombinant CD4 can be used to deliver a killer toxin to cells irrfected with AIDS in test-tube experiments.

However, they cautioned that the new laboratory development - like other incremental advances in AIDS research was far from being ready for clinical application and, at best, might offer a potential new treatment approach rather than a cure.

Dr. Jonathan W. Uhr, chairman of the department of microbiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said the CD4 molecule naturally binds to a gycoprotein, called gpl20, that forms on the surface of cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which causes AIDS. CD4, he said, will not attach itself to cells not infected with HIV.

Wright Investigator Subpoenas Wifes Records

o- it j. I*. AM ___tuir. Rut ha tnlrl thp a^kAf Ktr. aftnrrMki

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - The special counsel investigating House Speaker Jim Wright has subpoenaed records on work his wife, Betty, did for a partnership between Wright and a Fort Worth real estate developer and investor, according to a source familiar with the case.

The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said investigators for outside special counsel Richard J. Phelan had subpoenaed and received records of transactions, working papers and memos related to Mrs. Wrights work for George A. Mallick.

Until 1984, Mrs. Wright was paid $18,000 a year for advice that she gave to an investment venture formed by the Texas congressman.

Mallick and their wives in 1979, according to financial disclosure statements filed by the speaker.

With the six-month ethics probe of Wright entering its home stretch, the investigators are examining transactions underlying the partnership company, Mallightco, in much greater detail than available in public records, the source said.

Wrights financial disclosure form shows that he apparently exchanged stock worth between $50,000 and $100,000 for his initial share of the partnership, which was formed to manage investments in stocks, real estate and precious and semiprecious stones.

He listed the value of his Mallightco holdings, which were later placed into a blind trust, at between $100,000 and $250,000. The

trustee disclosed last July, two months after the ethics probe began, that the assets had been disposed of.

Wright's investments with Mallick are not mentioned in the six-count resolution which spells out the bounds of the investigation by the ethics panel, formally known as the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

The complaint against Wright involves charge.s that he improperly used his office to lobby federal officials, used campaign funds to pay for publication of a book on which he received some $55,000 in royalties, and used rent-free a Fort Worth condominium owned by Mallicks son.

Committee chairman Julian Dixon, D-Calif.. declined to comment on whether Phelan is probing Wrights

financial dealings with Mallick or on other matters under investigation. But he denied that any such scrutiny would amount to an expansion of the investigation.

I am totally satisfied that Phelans office has not in any way expanded the scope of the preliminary inquiry, Dixon said, i cannot comment or explain why a particular issue is relevant to the initial six charges.

Dixon also said he was not concerned that Wrights attorney, William Oldaker, also is acting as counsel to others who testified before the ethics panel, including Mallick and Carolos Moore, a Wright campaign contractor Who published the book that is a subject of the probe.

Oldaker did not return phone calls

earlier this week. But he told the Washington Post that he repr^ents at least three other witnesses in the case. He declined to name them but defended the practice as ethical so long as each witness is aware of his representation of the others.

However, Wrights chief acc^er. Rep. Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., said in an interview that the multiple representation suggests collusion among the witnesses.

If thats not a collusive defense, I dont know what is, Gingrich said, adding that he had sent a letter to Dixon asking if the ethics panel had approved the arrangement.

Supporters of Wright have been comp aining in recent weeks that the probe, which may cost upwards of $800,000, has grown far beyond its original intent and become a fishing expedition.

They cite trips by attorneys to Texas to interview Wrights political opponents from decades ago and an apparent new look at a 40-year-old unsolved murder case that involved one Wright opponent.

Wright has said repeatedly that he is confident the probe ultimately will find no wrongdoing, and aides say the controversy will not impede Wrights re-election as speaker when leadership posts are handed out the week of Dec. 5.

Dixon said he expected the investigators to finish taking depositions from witnesses by the end of next week, but declined to say when a final report might be issued. "The panel could recommend no action, or it could file a formal statement of alleged violations and hold a disciplinary hearing.

White House Pardon Issue For North Still Undecided

By Lyle Denniston

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The unusual minuet within the top ranks of government over a possible pardon for retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver L. North in the Iran-Contra case is continuing into the holiday weekend, indicating that his chances may be fading but are not yet lost.

President Reagans staff appears to be intensifying efforts to discourage press sp^ulation about a pardon, yet it still will not say finally or flatly that a pardon has been ruled out.

Reagan himself has repeatedly implied that he believes that the case should be allowed to run its course in court a view that President-elect George Bush also has expressed.

But Reagan, it is understood, has not yet arrived at a firm opinion, which could explain why a pardon remains possible even if less likely.

High-level officials at the Department of Justice remain deeply troubled about some of the constitutional implications of the criminal case against North, but the officials insist that they are not involved with the question of a pardon, which could end the case altogether. All inquiries to Justice officials, in fact, are referred to the White House, with the suggestion that only the presidents views count.

What now seems increasingly likely is that the issue will simply continue, unsettled, for the next several weeks as Reagans term winds down and the North case progresses toward a trial, starting perhaps in late January.

When the trial draws nearer, it is expected that the issue will come to the fore again, all but forcing Reagan to make a final decision in his last days in office.

There seems real doubt, among

key officials here, that the question will be left over for Bush to answer.

The speculation about a pardon by Reagan has persisted and even grown this week, in part because of a series of comments by Reagans chief spokesman. Marlin Fitzwater. It had been standard for Fitzwater to respond to press questions by saying that the president wanted the courts to deal with the case first.

He gave that response again this week, but Monday, Fitzwater told reporters accompanying the pr^i-dent on a trip to California: I maintain that no one knows what the presidents thinking on this is. That tended to suggest that the question was, indeed, still open.

And later that day, when asked whether he was nearing a decision on a pardon, Reagan replied: No, no. And I dont think it would be any time to make such a decision while its still before the courts.

study Shows Hispanics, Asians Lead Contact With Other Races

By Jay Mathews

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES In the first major study of integration for different minorities in American suburbs. University of Chicago researchers have discovered that Asians and Hispanics have greater contact with other races as they move out of large cities while blacks still encounter major barriers to integration.

One apparent exception to the general trend, according to study authors Douglas S. Massey and Nancy A. Denton, occurs in some Southern and border states, including the Washington area, where blacks have integrated suburbs such as Prince Georges County, Md., and where there has been some encroachment of white suburban development into rural black areas.

Using a complicated formula for calculating spatial assimilation -the chance of having a neighbor of a different ethnic group the authors say they still discern strong I^nalties for being black. Blacks live in the most segregated inner-city neighbors, are less likely than

other ethnic groups to move to the suburbs, and if they do move to the suburbs, are likely to find their neighborhoods less integrated than the suburban neighborhoods of Asians and Hispanics.

Two decades after the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which, in theory, banned racial discrimination in the sale and rental of housing, blacks have still not achieved equal access to housing in American cities and suburbs, concluded the report, called Suburbanization and Segregation in U.S. Metropolitan Areas, to be published in this months issue of the American Journal of Sociology.

Under the Massey-Denton dissimilarity index, a figure of .600 to .999 indicates a high degree of segregation. Between .300 to .600 is m^erate and below .300 is a well-integrated situation. The study shows that the index for blacks in New York is .826, dropping to only .704 in New York suburbs. Detroits black index is .638 and actually increases to .836 in Detroit suburbs. Bv contrast, the .756 index for blacks

in the District of Columbia drops to .554 for blacks in the Washington suburbs.

BILL & DELORES WINDER

Holy Trinity United Methodist Church

1400 Red Banks Rd.

Bill and Delores are laypersons who travel full time in a teaching, healing, evangelistic ministry. Wherever they go, they minister Gods healing power with a warm, gentle love and with real authority. Their aim is to restore the healing ministry to the church and to equip clergy and laypeople to minister within their own congregation.

Delores personally knows what it means to be healed by God. She spent 19 years in constant pain eased only by a tight fitting bodycast and by surgery to sever the nerves in her spinal cord. Near death in 1975, she was completely healed at a Kathryn Kuhlman service of the osteoporosis of the spine, and her severed spinal cord was restored. It was soon after her heating that God called her and Bill into the healing ministry.

The Winders have a testimony book, Jesus Set Me Free, and teaching tapes available.

ROGER BLAIR

ROGER BLAIR MINISTRIES

After spending nine years in drugs, rock-n-roll and everything the devil had to offer, Roger got tired of that lifestyle. He began to reflect on hispentecostal upbringing, and his longing for the move of God in his life took preeminence. Of course this is not the end of the story. He was gloriously saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.

Roger is now in full time service to the body of Christ. The Lord dynamically manifests Himself in music with signs and wonders following through his ministry. The power of the Holy Ghost will impact the lives of your people as Jesus is exalted through him. j

Roger is a man of integrity who lives a sold out life to Gera, You will feel he is truly a part of your ministerial staff while he is with you and your church wifl be changed by the power of the Lord.

Area Center Faces Urban Ills Of 80s

By Michael Argento

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

YORK, Pa. - Two years ago, Nan Geist, a 34-year-old single mother of five, was working for a temporary service, trying to make ends meet while spending a lions share of her income on day care for her three youngest children.

Things werent going well until a friend told her about the Crispus Attucks Community Association.

The associations day-care program accepted Geists children at a reduced rate, and the employment center helped her find a better-paying job with t)enefits.

Without Crispus Attucks, Geist says, Td probably be working a job rather than trying to establish a career. I would be living, literally, day to day.

While the Crispus Attucks Community Association is best known as a recreation and community center, it is also a model for fighting poverty and improving city neighborhoods during times of government austerity and cutbacks in social programs.

The associations programs address the problems that keep people in the cycle of poverty and remove hope of progressing with the community.

Except for state subsidies for its day-care center and occasional grants for its housing rehabilitation program, the center does not rely on government money. Most of the $1.5 million budget comes from donations.

The association takes the approach that addressing the woes of urban neighborhoods begins with the neighborhood and its residents.

Founded in 1931 as a recreation center for blacks, Crispus Attucks is named for a black man who was killed March 5,1770, by British soldiers in Boston. The massacre was among the factors that sparked the Revolutionary War.

Crispus Attucks remained a traditional community center through the 1970s, offering recre-, ation, day care and some tutorial services. But by the end of the decade, housing in the citys southeast neighborhood was deteriorating, unemployment among blacks was high and there was a breakdown in the sense of community.

Housing came out of the concern of the center about the direction our neighborhood was going, Simpson says. We had to look at what could we do about it. Do we blame white folks? Do we blame city hall? Or do we look in the mirror?

Crispus Attucks initial attack on housing, while well intention-ed, was a failure. The group

lacked expertise for rehabilitation and was spending more money on gut rehabs in which homes are gutted and rebuilt - than the projects would be worth when completed.

But the center learned from its mistake. In 1986, the Enterprise Foundation, a private foundation run by millionaire developer James Rouse, agreed to work with Crispus Attucks.

The Enterprise Foundation provides the center with technical assistance and training for its housing and employment services.

Housing is just one aspect of Crispus Attucks assault on urban decay and poverty.

Two years ago, the center began an employment service.

Weve knocked a lot of doors down, Simpson says. There were a lot of companies that wouldnt hire minorities. Weve helped open those doors. And we tell our people, if the doors open, be ready.

In the past two years, the center has placed 332 people in entry-level jobs with opportunity for advancement. The Crispus Attucks budget absorbs the $250-per-person cost to keep the service free to job-hunters and businesses.

The focus now is on keeping those people working and helping them advance. We dont want a person to be flipping hamburgers for two, three, five years, or to be in maintenance, says Michael Jefferson, who runs the employment service. We want that person to have the skills to move to the next level.

Day care at Crispus Attucks is more than the baby-sitting pro vided when the program was begun 12 years ago.

The center, which provides state-suteidued day care for 165 children, charges fees based on the parents earnings. For some parents, that may mean a fee of as little as $5 to $10 a week. This year, the center will receive about $500,000 from the state toward the program.

The day-care program is also intended to prepare future generations to continue progiming.

Depending on the childs age, says Robert Hollis, who operates the day care program, children receive anywhere from between two to four hours of instruction each day. Lessons are geared to the childs development with the aid and blessing of the city school district and the childs parents.

Of the 35 children in city schools who attended preschool at Crispus Attucks, 17 made the honor roll in third, fourth and fifth grades, Hollis says. Seven made the distinguished honor roll.

What we show parents and the children, he says, is that the ability is there.

Virginia Farms See New Breed

By Steve Bates

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

LEESBURG, Va. - Francis Peacock speaks with pride about how his great-grandfather came to Loudoun County with 19 cents in his pocket in the 1840s and saved enough money to buy a farm near Paeonian Springs. But the pride cracks, and tears well up, when Peacock talks of being forced to sell the now unprofitable farm, which has been worked by five generations of his family.

Peter Knop speaks with equal pride about growing Christmas trees and exotic herbs and resisting developers offers for his farm in the southern tip of Loudoun, wedged between Dulles International Airport and the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Everyone, says it cant be done (but) were making money.

Peacock and Knop are part of a massive transformation of agriculture in Loudoun, a rapidly growing county of 81,000 outside Washington, D.C. that stretches ' from Dulles to the West Virginia panhandle, with a wide variety of soils and life styles in between.

Soaring land prices, high labor costs and several years of poor weather have crippled traditional farming in the county, escalating the spread of subdivisions into fields of corn and hay. But now some hardy new farmers are going against the grain, gambling on vegetables, cut flowers and a variety of specialty crops that they sell directly to consumers from their small, intensive farm operations.

These farmers many of them young and having an outside source of income may play a crucial role in preserving the countys open space and fueling its economy, agricultural experts say, by planting a new tradition: specialized agriculture.

Were not just some kooks looking for fresh air, Knop said.

Loudouns shift to market-farming reflects a national trend in metropolitan areas, said Howard Kerr, who heads the U.S. Agriculture Departments Office for Small Scale Agriculture. Eighty-five percent of Loudouns approximately 800 farms are classifiea as small - grossing less than $40,000 a year - compared with the national average of nearly 75 percent.

Loudoun farmers are raising chestnuts and chinchillas, raspberries and elephant garlic, horses and landscaping plants with the entire metropolitan area as their market.

Consumers appreciate locally-grown produce that is not transported thousands of miles, said He ene Lepkowski, the county governments agricultural development officer. Farm, face and landscape are connected in the buyers mind, she said, particularly at farmers markets.

People can get eggs cheaper and easier at the Safeway, but thats not the point of buying directly from the producer, said Charles Planck, who owns the 60-acre Wheatland vegetable farm.

Until the mid-1980s, Loudoun was Virginias top corn-producing county; hay, wheat and cattle have also been mainstays. But several factors combined to decrease prices in recent years.

As prices dropped, many farmers bought or leased more land to increase production. But land prices took off with the countys residential building boom, and most farmers in the eastern, most densely populated part of the county sold their land. Some farmers in western Loudoun, which has remained largely agricultural, also sold out, and when they left so did many feed and supply firms.

Then came droughts and talk of downzoning, which many farmers feared would slash the sales value of their land.

There are a number of older farmers who see the land as their retirement plan, said Michael Cassidy, a farmer and real estate broker, who heads Farmers Resolve, a recently formed advocacy group in Loudoun.

With grid subdivisions, the prime farm land goes first because of its relative flatness and other factors, Cassidy said.

The county governments broadly painted Vision program a proposal to preserve open space and farm land in Loudoun by concentrating heavy-duty uiban development in the eastern end of the county while focusing on small, clustered villages in the west - could take years to implement, he said.

Cassidy said his organization is committed to helping farmers get the best price for their land, but he sees no point in trying to preserve the rural character of the county. Its inevitable that were going to wind up like (crowded suburban) Fairfax.

Some people in Loudoun disagree. They cite the potential of land preservation programs such as the Vision project, and the determination of the new breed of market gardeners.

Already, developers can increase the density of certain projects by obtaining open space easements in rural areas. Many landowners are voluntarily placing large tracts in Agricultural and Forestal Districts, which strictly limit development for up to 10 years.

There are many people like Peter Knop some of them new arrivals, others from longtime Loudoun families who intend to keep their property as farm land.

Marketing is the name of the game, said Knop, who works an average of one day a week as an investment banker and has one of the several dozen Christmas tree farms in Loudoun. We did market research on the Great Depression. People bought one Christmas tree and one present. You can bank on this... . Its the only business Ive ever been in where everybodys happy.

Knop, who has no formal training in agriculture, is experimenting with dwarf citrus trees that grow in small pots indoors and produce full-size fruit. He said he thinks he can sell them to restaurants and hotels for $30 to $200 each, depending on size.

Not only is Knop committed to farming, but there are signs that his teen-age daughter and son are interested in running the farm someday. I want to show them the value of agriculture, to remove the impetus to sell the land for development, he said.

A small farm can yield a lot of money, said Planck, but he added, I dont see how people are going to buy land (to farm) at current rates.... I bought a while ago, and I wonder if I could do it now.

Planck sees in many small farmers a love of the land that is every bit as strong as that of some of the traditional farming families who are leaving Loudoun.

Peacock, who turned 70 this month, has listed his property with a real estate firm. Hes asking just more than $3 million for his Victorian house with 39 doors, the outbuildings and the 143 acres zoned for one- and three-acre building lots.

You know, we hate to leave, he said.

Peacock, who said he hasnt made up his mind where hes moving, said he and others who for generations have raised grains and animals on large farms cannot revolutionize their operations. Some people say youve got to get rid of your coveralls and wear three-piece suits, he said with disdain.

Dear Abby: I have been an avid Dear Abby reader for many years and have never seen this question addressed in your column.

A friend who is soon to be married mentioned to me that she is paying $125 a plate for each guest who wiO attend her wedding and reception. I have received an invitation to both, and now I am wondering what to give her for a wedding gift. Am I required to give her a gift that would cost at least $125?

I really didnt think it was proper for her to have mentioned her cost, but now that I know, I feel compelled to spend at least that much on the gift. I am not a pauper, but I am far from wealthy, and I would rather not go to the wedding than to appear cheap. To Go Or Not To Go

Dear To Go: A guest is not required to give a wedding gift that costs at least as much as the bride spends per plate. I agree, it was not

Dear Abby

Abigail Van Buren

proper for the bride to have mention^ her cost.

Select a gift in the price range that is comfortable for you, and dont worry about appearing cheap.

Dear Abby: Your response' to End of Rope, who complained that his wife was 45 pounds overweight, was really off the mark. You said: Now is the time to be especially loving and supportive. Love her to pieces and kill her with kindness, and say nothing about her weight.

I agree that the wife needs her husbands love and support, but she also needs to seek help for her obesity and/or compulsive overeating. 1

believe that overeating is a disease that should be treated with the same respect as heart disease, diabetes or alcoholism. But to ignore such a problem allows the person to stay in denial and avoid treatment that could save her life. Cathy Relf, R.N.

Dear Cathy: I hit the nail right on the thumb with that answer! You make an excellent point and I thank you for it. However, I welcome the opportunity to mention Overeaters Anonymous. It has been a lifesaver to many compulsive overeaters. O.A. operates on the same principle as Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous. (If I can do it, yOucando it.)

Consult the white pages of your telephone book to find the chapter in your city. If Qvereaters Anonymous is not listed, write to: Overeaters Anonymous, 4025 Spencer St., Suite 203, Torrance, Calif. 90503, for in-

formation. Enclose a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope. It is a nonprofit organization.

Dear Abby: Maybe you (or one of your readere) can give me the answer to a question that has been puzzling me for a long time.

When citizens are asked to vote on a proposition or initiative concerning their local townships or counties, why is the language so confusing and ambiguous?

For example, If you are OPPOSED to additional funding for public education, vote YES. But, If you are IN FAVOR of additional funding for public education, vote NO.

Or, If you are OPPOSED to drilling for oil in a specific locality, vote YES, but if you are IN FAVOR of drilling, vote NO.

It seems to me that these issues are deliberately presented in language that will confuse the voters. Or am I mistaken? - Yes Or No

Dear Yes: No! I, too, would appreciate an answer to that disturbing question. Readers?

NEW YORK (AP) - Stock prices tumbled in light post-Thanksgiving Day trading today, depressed by expectations of higher oil prices.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials dropped 20.09 to 2,072.19 in the first half hour of trading.

Losers outnumbered gainers by about 3 to 1 in nationwide trading of New York Stock Exchange-listed issues, with 228 up. 688 down and 370 unchanged.

Volume on the Big Board came to 17.30 million shares as of 10 a.m. on Wall Street.

The session after Thanksgiving is usually one of the quietest days on the year on Wall Street, as many market participants take a long holiday weekend.

This time, however, those traders who were present were faced with the news of a tentative agreement by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on pr()duction quotas aimed at shoring up oil prices.

The prospect of increased energy costs weighed down the credit markets. Prices of long-term government bonds, which move in the opposite direction from interest rates, fell nearly $10 for each $1,000 in face value this morning.

the heir to the fortune of her father, shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Outside the cathedral, more than 3,000 people stood in the rain and lined nearby apartment building balconies. They clapped and threw rose petals in accordance with Greek tradition as young pallbearers from the Alexander Onassis Public Benefit Foundation carried the casket outside the church.

Life to you they yelled as Roussel and Onassis relatives filed out of the cathedral.

The pallbearers all had received scholarships from the foundation for postgraduate studies outside Greece.

The foundation was set up by Aristotle Onassis and named after his only son, who was killed in a 1973 plane crash. It also gives annual awards for outstanding work in scholarship, human rights and the environment.

A spokesman for the foundation said Ms. Onassis body would be flown to the family island of Skor-pios, on Greeces northwest coast, later in the day for burial at a private ceremony Saturday.

The spokesman, loannis Georgakis, said Ms. Onassis would be buried next to her father and brother in a mausoleum on the small island.

Aristotle Onassis, a shipping tycoon who also had mining and real estate interests worldwide, died in Paris in 1975. Ms. Onassis mother, Athena, died at the age of 45 in 1974.

Upon the death of Aristotle Onassis, Ms. Onassis inherited half

of an estimated $1 billion fortune. The other half was given to the foundation.

Ms. Onassis 3-year-old daughter Athena was not present at the funeral services. Sources close to the Onassis family did not know if Athena, who is Roussels daughter, would be present at the Skorpios burial service.

Representatives of Springfield shipping, the company that manages the Onassis 2.5 million-ton shipping fleet, say Athena will inherit her mothers fortune when she turns 18. Until then, the fortune will be held in trust.

Inmates Escape

RALEIGH (AP) - Police on Thursday searched for a 19-year-old convicted murderer who escaped from Polk Youth Center in Raleigh by crawling through an underground drainage pipe.

A second escapee was captured early Thursday at his parents house in Hoke County.

The two escaped from the medi-um-security prison about 4 p.m. Wednesday, said David Guth, spokesman for the state Department of Correction.

Guth identified the men as Bradley ONeal Farrar of Burlington, who was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder, and Troy Dean Labombard, also 19, of Hoke County. He was serving a 12-year sentence for second-degree kidnapping, common law robbery, forgery and three counts of larceny.

Reagan Will Wait On Hostages

Senate

(Continued from A-l)

be fouled up, however, by the eleventh new member of the Senate: the person appointed to replace Sen. Dan Quayle, R-Ind., who is leaving the chamber to be vice president.

Quayle has announced plans to resign sometime before the new Congress convenes on Jan. 3, to enable GOP Indiana Gov. Robert Orr to select a Republican. Otherwise, a new Democratic governor will take over in Indiana and appoint 3 )0niocr3t Where that person will rank on the seniority list is a topic of debate, and may have to be resolved by a vote in the Republican conference. He or she could rank first, by virtue of being sworn in earlier than the others; or it could be last, because Quayle doesnt technically become unable to hold his ^nate seat until Jan. 20, Inauguration Day.

In earlier times, an outgoing senator could give his successor a seniority boost by resigning a few days early and letting the replacement come into office ahead of others in the new group. But the practice threatened to mushroom out of control, and has been abandoned by both the GOP Conference and the Democratic Caucus, the other party assembly that makes committee assignments.

If it all seems rather complicated, take heart. Even Senate insiders disagree on how the whole thing works. Said one Democratic leadership official: Its worse than the family tree, folks.

(Continued from A-I)

Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, marked his fourth Thanksgiving in captivity this week.

Do you think the United States would do the same if 100 lives were at stake? Say asked. Nine American lives apparently are not enough to cause anyone major discomfort. She referred to resolution of the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985, when 39 Americans were he'd hostage in Beirut for 17 days. 1 -tense U.S. mediation led to thur release.

Several Mideast analysts contend that the United States may be missing an opportunity at a crucial juncture.

The momentum on both hostage releases and bettering relations with the West has been building since May, when the last French hostages held in Lebanon were freed. Diplomatic ties between Iran and both France and Canada were restored during the summer.

Britain reached final terms for resumption of relations earlier this month. London hopes the release of three British hostages, including hostage mediator Terry Waite, will follow.

Iran also recently has improved relations with Kuwait and other Persian Gulf Arab states that were Iraqs prime financial and political supporters during its eight-year war with the Tehran regime.

Part of the momentum stems from the belief among Western and Arab governments as well as key Iranian leaders that major policy changes must take place before the death of the aged and ailing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who is believed to be 88.

Khomeinis support for any controversial policy reversal is vital to prevent those issues from fueling an intense power struggle after his

death and causing potentially lengthy delays, according to R.K. Ramazani, a University of Virginia government professor and specialist on Iranian foreign policy.

Irans foreign policy cannot be divorced from its domestic policies or problems, Ramazani said. And we would make a great mistake if we fail to explore the potential or possibilities of establishing a dialogue.

Even at the height of the hostage crisis between 1979 and 1981, there would have been no accord or resolution without indirect communication between the two nations.

Iran has increasingly signaled a readiness to move, Mideast analysts say. On the Nov. 4 anniversary of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy, normally a time of rhetoric and bravado in Iran, one of Irans most fundamentalist newspapers wrote, The Islamic republic should start a new chapter in its foreign policy with all countries of the world.

It is extreme pessimism, shortsightedness and lack of confidence to take any kind of relation with the West as compromise, surrender and the beginning of dependency. We can have reasonable, conventional and rational relations with the superpowers, said the newspaper Jomhori Islami (Islamic Republic), which repeatedly specified the United States.

The release in Beirut last month of hostage Mithileshwar Singh, an Indian national with U.S. residency, was also viewed in the Reagan administration as a signal of new Ira

nian interest. Through German envoys, Tehran alerted the United States about the release by Singhs Lebanese captors at least two days in advance

An Iranian Foreign Ministry official subsequently said that Tehran was angry that Washington refused to acknowledge Irans role in Singhs release. Reagan administration officials said at the time that they saw no obligation to thank a government that had supported the original abductions.

U.S. sources say they are not ruling out hostage releases before the Jan. 20 inauguration of Bush. But they contend that the ball is entirely in Irans court.

Explained a senior administration official familiar with U.S. counterterrorism policy: Its not us missing an opportunity. Its Iran.

We continue to be interested in the possibility of resolving our problems, the official said. We continue to make the point that were ready for an authoritative meeting, if they will send an authoritative figure to negotiate.

But so far, there hasnt been any motion, he added.

State Department officials point out that the United States also has sent indirect signals to Iran. Recent moves include condemnations of Iraqs use of chemical warfare and the scaling back of the U.S. naval escort operation in the Persian Gulf.

The main issue now appears to boil down to who makes the first move, since both sides have directly or indirectly hinted at relations.

. Reese

A funeral for Mr. James Reese will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday, at the Flannagan Chapel in Greenville by the Rev. David Johnson. Burial will be in Homestead Memorial Gardens.

Reese was born in Pitt County and lived most of his life in the Eastern Pines Community.

Surviving are his wife, Blumer Grimes Reese; a son, Leon Boyd of Greenville; a sister, Geneva Reese Highsmith of Raleigh; two brothers, Larry Reese and Matthew Reese, both of Greenville, and two grandchildren.

The family will receive friends from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Flanagan Funeral Home in Greenville and at other times will be at the home. Route 16, Box 60, Greenville.

Stevens

Mrs. Willa Homer Stevens, 65, of 211 York Road died Thursday.

Her memorial service will be conducted at 3 p.m. Sunday in Immanuel Baptist Church by the Rev. Hugh Burlington.

A native of Burlington, Mrs. Stevens had been a resident of Greenville since 1970. She attended Augusta College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church, the Greenville Service League, the Sierra Book Club and the Brook Valley Garden Club. She was a past president of the Pitt County Bar Auxiliary.

Surviving are her husband, David B. Stevens;, two sons, David B. Stevens Jr. of Charlotte and Paul K. Stevens of Kill Devil Hills; a daughter, Caroline Carroll of Newport, and two grandchildren..

The family will receive friends at the Wilkerson Funeral Home from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and at other times will be at the home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the David B. and William H. Stevens Scholarship Fund in Social Work, East Carolina University Foundation, Taylor-Slaughter Alumni House, Greenville, N.C. 27858.

agency, the chances of survival are brightened. But if a borrowers plan is rejected or if a reply is not sent at all then foreclosure or forced sale of property is likely.

Although agency spokesmen say no hard estimates are available as to how many of the 83,480 delinquents may be foreclosed or forced to sell out, estimates have ranged from around 10,000 to more than 40,000.

Vance L. Clark, FmHA administrator, has said that eventually up to 30,000 borrowers could face foreclosure.

Clark resigned his job earlier this week, according to FmHA spokesmen. He had previously indicated leaving around Dec. 1. Sox Johnson, acting associate administrator, took over the job.

No official announcement was made of Clarks departure, although a farewell party was held in USDA on Tuesday afternoon.

Clark, who spent 42 years with the Bank of America before taking over FmHA more than three years ago, bristled at accusations the agencys notices or program are unfair.

If anything, I tell my people were getting ready to jump start thousands of American farmers out there, Clark said recently in Des Moines at a bankers meeting. The good news is that the relief measure is being offered. I think its going to play well.

But there is some pressure on FmHA to extend the 45-day period for borrowers to return their financial forms, including a request from 14 members of Congress.

Rep. Byron L. Dorgan, D-N.D., one of the petitioners, said he was concerned that borrowers may not be able to get all the information and assistance they need before Jan. 1, because 'many banks and offices may be closed several days for the holidays.

These notices include over 200 pages of complex regulations, Dorgan said. I feel that farmers should be given sufficient time to analyze the regulations and compile the necessary information to fill out the forms correctly.

Moons Angry Lecture Is All Oilers Need To Hand Cowboys A 25-17 Defeat

The Associated Press

Lions quarterback Chuck Long goes after his own fumble against Minnesota Thursday

Vikings Carve Up Lions In Thanksgiving Feast

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PONTIAC, Mich. - Detroit coach Wayne Fontes didnt know it, but his good buddy Jerry Burns had him in a hole before the opening kickoff.

Once the Thanksgiving Day contest between Detroit and the Minnesota Vikings had begun. Burns quickly filled in the hole and the Vikings buried the Lions 23-0.

Fontes, coaching his second game on an interim basis after the firing of Darryl Rogers, went from player to player during warmups, giving hugs and handshakes.

Meanwhile, Burns, a Detroit native, was standing at midfield chatting with Lions owner William Clay Ford, the man who will decide Fontes future when the season is over.

Waynes a good friend, Burns said. I think he could be a very good coach for the Detroit Lions.

But it became quickly apparent that what seperates the Vikings from the Lions is not coaching. Detroit needs horses.

The Lions fell to 1-1 under Fontes and 3-10 for the season.

One day, hopefully, well be that good, Fontes said. Theyve got athletes and theyre so well-coached.

The Vikings, evoking memories of the defensive line dubbed The Purple People Eaters, completely dominated the Lions.

The Vikings defense allowed only three first downs, a club record; 60 yards total offense, tying a club record, and intercepted two passes to run their season total to 30, tying another team mark.

One of the interceptions was by Carl Lee, his seventh, making him the NFC leader.

It was a dominating defensive game, but Detroit is not a very good offensive team and we should be able to dominate them, Burns said. Their passing game, is suspect and the running game never materialized.

Detroit, which had the ball only 15 minus, 3 seconds, didnt get a first down until late in the third quarter and didnt cross midfield until 2:25 into the fourth quarter.

We went out and played like girls, Bennie Blades, the Lions rookie safety, said. Any time the offense is not playing well, it makes it tough for the defense.

The Vikings remained on track for a wild-card playoff berth, although they still believe they can overhaul the Chicago Bears in the AFC Cen

tral title chase. The Vikings are 9-4, the best record for an NFC team that isnt a division leader.

Minnesota has won five of its last six, including four straight. The Vikings, who have three games remaining, host the Bears at the Metrodome in the final Monday night game of the season.

Theyre just a better team, Lions fullback James Jones said. We went out and tried to do the best we could but it just didnt happen.

Thats just why they may end up in the Super Bowl this season. 1 wouldnt be surprised.

Vikings quarterback Wade Wilson and wide receiver Anthony Carter, who tormented the Lions in a 44-17 thrashing Nov. 6, continued the assault on Thursday. Wilson completed 16 of 21 passes for 186 yards and Carter had seven catches for 84 yards.

Its always great to do something here (in the Silverdome), said Carter, an All-American at the University of Michigan who led the Michigan Panthers to the inagural USFL championship before that league folded.

We played well. We took what

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Soft-spoken Warren Moon shocked the Houston Oilers into action with a rare tongue-lashing.

They were so amazed at their quarterbacks outburst that the Oilers overcame their road phobia to beat the Dallas Cowboys 25-17 on Thanksgiving Day.

It was Dallas ninth consecutive loss and its llth defeat of the season, tying a club record set in 1960 when the Cowboys went 0-11-1.

The Oilers are 9-4, with each of the defeats on the road.

Moon said he was tired of them easing up once they left their so-called House of Pain, the Astrodome. He gave them a hard chewing out after Dallas jumped to a 7-0 lead and seemed to be on the way to one of the shocking upsets of the NFL season.

When you get to this time of a year, you have to count on something besides the home crowd to fire you up, Moon said.

So, in the absence of a Houston crowd. Moon took it upon himself to provide the incendiaries.

I had a few players on my team mad at me for awhile, Moon admitted. I felt we came out flat and I said so on the field. I dont usually do things like that, but I could see us flat and so I said something.

Maybe some of the guys thought it would be like preseason (when Houston beat Dallas 54-10) coming in here, but I knew it wouldnt be like that. When youre playing a team thats down and they get off to a good start it gives them too much of a lift. Thats when I noticed I had to say something. Dallas played us tough and I knew they would.

The Oilers are a half-game behind Cincinnati in the AFC Central race.

We ran into a trap today, Houston coach Jerry Glanville said. Dallas was emotionally high. We were flat coming out.

I thought (Dallas coach) Tom Landry did a hell of a coaching job. You saw a lot of pride out there. They gave us a lot of new looks. Glanville said Moon was the difference.

He was the key, the catalyst, Glanville said. He makes this football team work.

The Cowboys led 17-10 in the third period after Steve Pelluers 3-yard touchdown run, but Moon wouldnt be denied. He took the Oilers on what proved to be the game-winning drive after safety Jeff Donaldson in

tercepted a tipped pass at midfield. Other than Mike Roziers 12-yard run in the second period, it was Houstons only touchdown of the day.

Tony Zendejas kicked four field goals, but his miss on an extra-point kick caused some concern for the Oilers. But Zendejas padded a 19-17 edge with two fourth-period field goals.

The Cowboys could be thankful that they played Houston tough and still remained in the race for the NFLs No. 1 draft pick next spring.

But Landry said, This wasnt a happy Thanksgiving for me.

He praised his downtrodden clubs effort.

Im proud of their performance, Landry said. Houston knew they were glad to get out with a win.

Houston has a good football team. A playoff tpam it 'ieems like we just can't make the big play. I didn t want just a moral victory.

Dallas defensive end Jim Jeffcoat said the Cowboys were mad over charges that the team had quit in losses of 44-3 to Minnesota and :i8-24 to Cincinnati.

"People said we quit last week and we wanted to prove to people that our defense never quits. het said.

Dallas linebacker Steve DeOssie chipped in, 'i don't care if were 2-13, we re not going to quit no matter what happims around here. We have pride.

Moon didnt see much quit in the Cowboys, either.

We*had to give them everything we had to win the game. he said.

Baker Reportedly Given Position By Gamecocks

STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

Art Baker, former head football coach at East Carolina University, will join the University of South Carolina athletic department as head of marketing and development. The State newspaper of Columbia, S.C., reported Thursday.

Baker, who resigned after four seasons, will be named as an associate athletic director, the

newspaper said. That appointment will be officially announced next week.

Baker told The Daily Reflector last week that he had had an informal interview with King Dixon, South Carolinas new athletic director on Oct. 12, when South Carolina played a home game against Navy. East Carolina, which had one game left to play at that time, had an open date that weekend. Baker said he would return to Columbia during Thanksgiving week for a formal interview. He spent the week in South Carolina, celebrating the holidays with members of his family.

According to the report. Baker, who has also served as head coach at Furman and The Citadel, both South Carolina schools, will be in charge of the departments development and marketing programs and will work with the Gamecock Club, the schools athletic booster organization.

Dixon and other administration spokesmen were unavailable for comment this morning. Dixon had earlier refused to comment on the report. The Associated Press reported.

Members of the ECU athletic department were also unavailable this morning for comment, but an assistant coach said earlier this

week that Baker would accept the job at South Carolina.

Baker is a Sumter, S.C., native and a 1953 graduate of Presbyterian. Earlier this year. Baker was a strong candidate for the job as athletic director at South Carolina, but the job went to Dick Bestwick. Bestwick resigned for health reasons just six months into his tenure, however, and Dixon was named as his replacement last month.

Baker had been offered the job of director of the ECU athletic departments new Personal Development program, but had said that he was keeping his options open. He also has said that he still has the itch to coach, even as an assistant.

There have been recurring rumors at Columbia, too, that Joe Morrison and his staff would be relieved of duties at the end of the 1988 campaign. South Carolina finished the regular season with an 8-3 record and will play in the Liberty Bowl against Indiana on Dec. 28. Those same reports have N.C. States Dick Sheridan as the leading candidate to replace Morrison and Bakers presence on the South Carolina staff would enhance that. Sheridan served as Bakers assistant at Furman and replaced him when he moved to The Citadel.

Pirates Opening Season Saturday Against Bishops

By Woody Peele

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The scrimmages and exhibitions are over. Its time for the regular season to begin and East Carolina basketball coach Mike Steele says his Pirates are ready.

Steele, who enters his second year as the Pirate head coach, will be seeking to continue his building of the program he began last year. At seasons start, that team was said by some unlikely to win a game.

But the Pirates fooled the so-called experts and posted an 8-20 mark and were in most of the games that they played.

This year, the prospects are up

Mike Steele

and most observers are picking the Pirates to finish in the upper division of the Colonial Athletic Association.

Meanwhile, the Pirates kick oil the 1988-89 season Saturday night against N.C. Wesleyan and then play host on Monday to UNC-Greensboro.

Were ready for a game. Steele said. Weve had some excellent practices this past week.

East Carolina played Marathon Oil in an exhibition just over a week ago and fell. 81-71. But the Pirates outrebounded their taller opponents and but for a poor shooting night might have come away with a victory

The Marathon game was good for us, Steele said. It gave us some things to focus on. our transition defense and our perimeter defense. Both of them have improved.

As for the shooting, Steele is hopeful that the low percentage was just fir.st game jitters. 1 hope so. he said. I think so.

The Pirates face a Division 111 school in their opener, but a team that has already played three games. The Fighting Bishops will bring a 1-2 record into the game. However, last year, Steele points out. Wesleyan won 17 of its last 20 games and returns most of the players off that team. They are a good team. It would be easy for someone to overlook them, but 1 know, having coached at a Division III school (DePauw) that a Division 111 can pull off some upsets. 1 know how good they can be.

Greensboro (currently 2-1) is similar, but bigger. They will shoot the ball well, Steele added. Theyve both played before and thats an advantage for them. Also

our students wont be here and thats a concern. I dont want to get trapped into a slow-paced game"

The Pirates, against Marathon, played a much more up-tempo game than they did most of the time last year.

Probable starters for the Pirates would include Blue Edwards, a 6-5 senior at one forward position and Gus Hill, a 6-3 junior at the other. Stanley Love, a 6-5 sophomore will be at center, with 5i sophomore Jimmy Hinton and fi 3 senior Kenny Murphy at the guards, although Steele said the starting lineup is subject to change Kevin Staples, a 6-5 junior forward, and Ki'ed Lose, a 6-3 junior and Jeff Kelly, a 5 9 senior, i)Oth guards, could also see starting action.

Tipoff in Minges ('oliseum is set for 7:30 p.m both Saturday and Monday nights.

Following those games, the Pirates take to the road tor the first time, facing Duke Iliiversity. the nations number one ranked team, in Durham on Wednesday

Ayden-Grifton To Play At 7:30 P.M.

Ayden-tiriftons 2-A State Playoff game with Hertford County High School will be played at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

An earlier report had incorrectly listed the time. All Northeastern Conference home games this year were played at 7:30 p.m. and home games by that leagues teams will follow the same format.

RALEIGH (AP) - North Carolina State womens basketball coach Kay Yow, who led the U.S. Olympic team to the gold medal in Seoul this summer, Nvill be inducted into the Women s Sports Hall of Fame on Friday, school officials said. -

Yow, who is beginning her 14th season with the Wolfpack, has compiled a 291-105 record at N.C. State and a career collegiate mark of 348-124.

In international competition. Yow has collected three gold medals and a silver and posted a 21-1 record:

Dooley Goes For 200th Grid Victory

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Vince Dooley keeps insisting that too much is being made over his quest to capture the 200th victory of his 25-year coaching career at Georgia.

Thats the plateau he will reach if the 20th-ranked Bulldogs down their archrival. Georgia Tech. on Saturday.

I dont want to be a distraction, Dooley said.

He would become only the 10th coach in Division 1-A history to reach the mark and the second in the Southeastern Conference.

The late Paul Bear Brvant is the only other SEC coach to hit the 200 mark. Bryant claimed 292 of his 323 victories while coaching in the SEC at Kentuckv (60) and Alabama (232).

The Bulldogs, 7-3 and bound for a Gator Bowl date with Michigan State on Jan. 1, are slightly better than tw'o-touchdown favorites to claim the milestone victory for Dooley.

Tech carries a 3-7 record into the game, which will draw a sellout crowd of 82,122 into Sanford Stadium.

The game will be televised nationally on cable (TBS-Atlanta), with the kickoff set for 12:40 p.m. EST.

Dooley took the Georgia job in 1964 as a 3l year-old at a time when Bryant, Johnny Vaught at Mississippi and Ralph "Shug ' Jordan at Auburn were recognized as the leagues top coaches.

I never realized how young those old coaches' were, Dooley said. One thing I always said was. Im not going to hang around like those old coaches. I never thought I would do it this long. The difference is, Im not old.

Dooleys first bid for No. 200 came two weeks ago when his alma mater, Auburn, posted a 20-10 victory that also cost Georgia a share of the SEC championship.

Techs hopes for victorv rest with a defense that ranks 13th in the nation, yielding 278 yards per game, with 136 of it coming in the air where Tech ranks sixth nationally.

Georgia isnt known for putting the ball in the air, and Tech will have to stop a solid ground game to win.

The Bulldogs have three of the top 13 rushers in the SEC.

Tim Worley leads the conference in rushing with 1,173 yards, Rodney Hampton is fifth with 656 yards and Keith Henderson 13th with 386.

Todd Rampley and Jerry Mays are Techs offensive leaders.

Rampley has completed 142 of 250 passes for 1,498 yards and six touchdowns and Mays leads the Yellow Jackets in rushing with 871 yards. Mays also is Techs top receiver, with 40 catches for 295 yards.

The two teams met only one common foe this year - South Carolina.

The Gamecocks beat Georgia 23-10, but then were the victim of Techs best performance in several years, a 34-6 thrashing that knocked Carolina from the unl^aten ranks and snapped Techs 15-game losing streak against Division 1-A opposition.

Weve made improvements and come a long way even though it isnt reflected in the won-ioss record, Tech coach Bobby Ross said.

. I can point to statistics to back us up, but there isnt anything like the winning statistic, he added. Everybody realizes this - we could not win a game and win this one, and feel very good about ourselves. It has a lot of impact on a lot of things. '

Johnson Wants Chance At Barcelona

MILAN, Italy (AP) - Canadas Ben Johnson, the world record-holder in the 100-meter dash who lost his gold medal at the Seoul Olympics after testing positive for steroid use, says he wants to compete in the Barcelona Games in 1992.

I hope I can do it... It will take me one year to recover, if I am definitely stopped for two, Johnson was quoted as saying by Milans weekly magazine Europeo. I believe that 1992 will be something that people will never forget.

Johnson also was banned from international competition for two years after he failed the doping tests. He claimed hard training and weightlifting not steroids were the reason for his impressive muscular growth.

I am innocent, innocent of knowingly taking what they gave me, he was quoted Thursday as saying.

Interviewed by the magazine at his home in Toronto, Johnson said hes training three hours a day, including weightlifting. He still holds the world record of 9.83 seconds set at the World Championships in Rome last year.

Johnson said all of his competitors in the Olympic 100 final, including American Carl Lewis, who was eventually awarded the gold medal, panicked when he took a huge lead before the mid-point in the race.

They all understood they could not stand my pace, Johnson said. 'Uewis turned to stare at me at least three times. For winning, a champion must run against himself, not against his rival. Carl Lewis was running against Ben Johnson.

: Johnson also said it was a great pleasure beating Lewis (in the Olympics). Hes a snot who always wants to be the first.

The Canadian said Italian sportswear company Diadora was the only commercial sponsor that did not break an enclorsement contract with him foflowing the Seoul scandal and disqualification.

But a spokesman for Diadora told The Associated Press that Johnsons $25-million, five-year contract actually has been suspended.

'The contract will be restored ... (if) Johnson can prove he was not guilty, the spokesman said.

Southern Cal Quarterback Lost His Voice On Sunday

Texas A&Ms Bucky Richardson gains against Britt Hagar

Aggies Hold Off Longhorn Rally

(Hficials Approve Drug Guidelines

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUSTIN, Texas Texas, frustrated for the fifth year in a row by Texas A&M, can only look to next season. A&M, basking in its 500th college football victory, will seek No. 501 next Thursday against Alabama.

A&M, 7-4, but ineligible for bowl play because of NCAA probation, led 28-0 Thursday before the underdog Longhorns rallied in front of a national television audience and sellout home crowd of 77,809. But the rally fell short, and the Horned Frogs hung on for a 28-24 victory that left Texas 4-7, its worst showing since a 1-9 finish in 1956.

The seniors on this team have gone through so much this season with all of the adversity and they have done nothing but fight back, A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said.

Sherrill himself has been at the center of controversy as the Dallas Morning News quoted a former player as saying Sherrill had paid him $4,400 in hush money during an NCAA investigation of the A&M football program.

The player later recanted the story, but Sherrill has refused to give his version, saying he will wait until after the season.

A&M running back Darren Lewis, a 210-pound sophomore, ran 38 times for a career-high 212 yards and a 15-yard touchdown for the favored Aggies.

Lewis also set up fullback Robert Wilsons l-yard touchdown with a 36-yard run.

All-American linebacker John Roper ran a blocked field goal 48 yards for a 21-0 A&M lead, and sub quarterback Chris Osgoods 8-yard

scoring run raised the score to 28-0 in the second quarter.

Texas redshirt freshman Mark Murdock brought screaming Longhorn fans to their feet with scoring tosses of 9 yards to Kerry Cash in the second quarter, 14 yards to Stephen Clark and 76 yards to Tony Jones in the second half.

It was all on guts and effort tonight, said Texas Coach David Williams, whose team lost four games this season by a total of 13 points.

A fumbled pitchout on third-and-2 after Texas had reached the A&M 34 spoiled Texas chance for a possible go-ahead touchdown.

Backup quarterback Donovan Forbes passed the ball to tailback Eric Metcalf, who said he slipped, and the ball bounced to the A&M 49, where the Aggies recovered.

We practiced it all week its unfortunate it turned out that way, said Metcalf, among the nations leaders in all-purpose yardage.

The momentum was ours the whole second half. Time just ran out, said Texas linebacker Britt Hager, who was credited with 20 tackles.

Lewis ninth consecutive game of over 100 yards rushing is one short of the Southwest Conference record by 1977 Texas Heisman Trophy winner Eafl Campbell.

I owe it all to the offensive line, said the tireless Lewis, who has rushed 282 times for 1,564 yards this season.

He (Lewis) made a lot of yards and he earned them all, McWilliams said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES - Coach Lou Holtz of No. 1-ranked Notre Dame says, This game is what college football is all about.

Coach Larry Smith of No. 2 Southern California says, This promises to be one of the great games of all time.

And Southern Cal quarterback Rodney Peete? Smith will be delighted if Peete can just say Hut one, hut two 80 or so times and throw, oh, a half-dozen touchdown passes when USC entertains Notre Dame on Saturday in the 24th game between No. I No. 2 since the Associated Press poll began in 1936.

Peetes last two weeks were the stuff of legends or, at the very least, the kind of stuff one would be more likely to associate with Notre Dame than Southern Cal.

First, he was hospitalized with the measles a few days before he led the Trojans to a 31-22 victory over UCLA last Saturday for the Pac-10 title and a berth in the Rose Bowl.

As a side effect, Peete lost his voice on Sunday and was unable to talk for several days. That meant the Trojans had to practice with 12 men on offense with freshman quarterback Todd Marinovich calling out the signals.

The silence was deafening and if Peete is rendered speechless against Notre Dame, Southern Cals tailback will call out the cadence.

All of this probably means that trainer Jack Ward, team physician Dr. Chester Semel and executive medical director Dr. Allan Ebbin are assured they will be prominently featured when Hollywood does Peetes life story.

By Wednesday, Peete had his voice back enough to conduct a telephone news conference. Two days earlier, he had to write out his answers.

Enough to say that I have never been through a two-week period like this before.

Enough to agree with Holtz and Smith that Saturdays game is about as big as they come.

One of the reasons you come to USC is to play Notre Dame, play UCLA, Peete said. Id like to go out with a victory over Notre Dame. Ive never experienced one (Notre Dame has won five straight and leads the series 32-23-4), so that makes the game even more meaningful for me and the other seniors on this team.

Both teams are 10-0 they also have been inoculated against

MOSCOW (AP) - An anti-drug charter that establishes guidelines for governments to combat performance-enhancing drugs has been approved by

sports officials from more than 70 countries. IT T 1 _ * ^^

The charter spells out very clearly the intentions of governments in all % / | | iri O

countries that are represented here in terms of their attempts to stamp out V XXVXX

this enormous problem, said Len Derkach, who headed the Canadian dele- ^

gation at the UNESCO-sponsored conference.

The conJerence also recommended that the International Olympic Committee create a panel of experts to test athletes in any country at any time on'short notice.

The charter, however, has no means of ensuring enforcement. It is a procedural document and a moral statement of values.

But Thursdays approval by the ministers indicated a willingness to lobby their respective governments for legislative action that would support the charter and make it easier for the drug-testing panel to carry out its objectives.

Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the IOC, has stressed the importance of governments taking a more active role in the fight against drugs in

sports. ,. . .

We must be united with others in our fight and most importantly, we need the help of governments, Samaranch said. With UNESCO, we will be able to fight against doping. .

However, it was not known if all 167 countries represented in the IOC would follow the charters recommendation. While some countries have not taken formal action to support the charter, others, like the United States and Great Britain, do not belong to UNESCO.

The approval of the charter ended the four days of meetings.

On Monday, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a preliminary agreement on a joint random drug testing program. Top athletes from both nations will be subject to testing twice a year, according to the agrment.

Tests will be conducted to detect any group of drugs banned by the IOC.

measles and flu - and its the first time these traditional powers have been involved in a No. 1-No. 2 showdown against each other and also the first time both brought perfect records into their historic rivalry.

The winner will be one step away from the national championship. Notre Dame will meet No. 4 West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl, Southern Cal plays No. 11 Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

But its hard for coaches not to worry themselves sick, and these two are no exceptions.

Among Holtzs concerns is that Southern Cal will get out to an early lead.

What scares you against Southern Cal is that you could be forced into a catchup game, he said. Were not a very good team when were required to throw, and we havent been forced into a passing game all year.

We havent played a team that runs and throws as well as Southern Cal, and it starts with Peete. They have great running backs, their offensive line is big and strong, they have two fine wide receivers and two great tight ends who give them an awful lot of big plays.

Theyre averaging 35 points a game, and to me thats unheard of against the schedule they play (Hey, Lou, Notre Dame is averaging 33 points a game against what the NCAA preseason ratings called the eighth most difficult schedule in the country).

Southern Cal presents more problems than Miami did (Notre Dame edged then-No. 1 Miami 31-30 last month) because of their ability to run and throw, probably mre problems than Ive ever encountered as a football coach. Right now. Southern Cal is a better team than Miami on film.

Im concerned about our kicking game. Were not punting very well, were not kicking off very well and our placekicking has been inconsistent the last few weeks, but theres not much we can do about that right now. Weve also turned the ball over far too many times (12 lost fumbles, nine interceptions).

Were much smaller than Southern Cal. Were probably as small an offensive line as youll find. Were not as strong as Southern Cal and if (nose guard) Chris Zorich cant play, well be one of the smallest defensive lines in the country.

But were not going out there to lift weights.

(Continued From B-n

they gave us and didnt try to rush anything, Carter said. This is the best time to start playing good football and right now were playing well. Thats a good sign for this team.

Alfred Anderson, who rushed 19 times for 55 yards, scored on runs of 2 and 1 yards, and Chuck Nelson kicked field goals of 21, 33 and 18 yards.

It wasnt as explosive as it could have been but I was happy, Wilson said, I was worried about a let

down, but we didnt have one on either side of the ball.

Fontes tried to make something happen by giving quarterback Chuck Long his first start since injuring his left knee six weeks ago. But Long, amid a chorus of boos, completed only two of six passes for five yards and was hooked in favor of Rusty Hilger with 1:04 remaining in the first half.

Im not worried about the fans, Long said. If they want to boo me. Im not going to worry about it.

Yeah, I was rusty, but the Vikings are basically a very good football team. I think the better team won today.

LAHAINA, Hawaii - It wasnt always played on Maui and it wasnt always a classic, but the sixth edition of Hawaiis major Thanksgiving weekend college basketball tournament certainly lives up to the name Maui Classic.

Four of the eight teams which started play today were ranked in the Top Twenty. And there cant be a much more scenic setting than the island which is advertised as the ultimate of the many that make up the 50th state.

Think of it as the ultimate playground game played on the worlds ultimate playground, tournament director Ray Stosik said.

It wasnt always that way.

The tournament started on the big island and was played there for two years before coming to Maui in 1984, Stosik said. In five years an unheralded, untelevised fundraiser has evolved into a premier sporting

event that merits national television coverage.

The coverage will come from national cable network ESPN, which will broadcast five of this years 12 games.

The tournament got under way with host Chaminade facing Memphis State, followed by No. 4 Oklahoma against No. 16 Ohio State, Vanderbilt against No. 3 Michigan and DePaul against No. 8 Nevada-Las Vegas.

All games are played in the Lahaina Civic Center, a building with just under 2,000 permanent seats. Seating was increased by 1,000 by bringing in some portable football bleachers.

Madison Square Garden or Rupp Arena it isnt, but all tickets were sold by Wednesday. In fact, because of the sale of tournament passes, good for all three days, as well as individual day tickets, organizers oversold the arena by 5 percent.

Its like an airline overbooking, Stosik said. If theres a problem.

Smith Seeking To Take Control

Orange, Tigers In NIT Finals

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Bob Knight hadnt seen Sherman Douglas since the Syracuse point guard was a sophomore in the 1987 NCAA Tournament championship game.

Today, Douglas is the prime mover of the speedy Syracuse offense that hammered Knights Indiana Hoosiers to reach tonights final of the Big Apple National Invitation Tournament against No. 13 Missouri.

I hadnt seen Douglas since we played them two years ago, Knight said after sixth-ranked Syracuse crushed No. 20 Indiana 102-78 Wednesday night. Hes a tremendously improved player. Hes not an ordinary ball-handler, he handles the ball with a purpose. Theres a purpose to everything he does.

Missouri defeated fifth-ranked North Carolina 91-81 in the other semifinal.

Missouri runs as well as we do and they take good shots, Douglas said. We always try to run and play hard. Friday will be an up-tempo game because Missouri likes to run like us.

Douglas had eight points and 14 assists against Indiana and his favorite target was forward Steve Thompson, who had 23 points in leading three other starters in doublefigures.

We have to play with the same intensity against Missouri that we did against Indiana, said Thomp

son, who scored 12 points in the first seven minutes of the second half as Syracuse continued to pile up the points after leading 54-30 at halftime. We have to get the rebounds, get the ball to Sherman and fill the wings.

The Orangemen shot 70.6 percent from the field in the first half and 63 percent overall against Indiana. It was the most points the Hoosiers have allowed in Knights 18 years at Indiana, surpassing by one Iowas total in a 1987 game.

Missouri was only a bit less impressive against a more formidable opponent, taking 16-point leads in the second half against North Carolina en route to Norm Stewarts 500th victory as a head coach.

Missouri also had good balance against North Carolina, with all five starters in double figures. Byron Irvin had 21 points, Doug Smith 16, Lee Coward 15 and Gary Leonard and Mike Sanbothe 12 each.

Passing is crucial to our offense, Irvin said. We play two men inside and three outside and our passing is great. A lot of people thought wed not be as good this year with Derrick Chievous gone, but Coach Stewart has done a good job for us.

Chievous is now a key reserve for the Houston Rockets of the NBA.

Last year they relied on Chievous and now they go to everybody the way we do, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said of Missouri.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Footballls a game of emotion, particularly when long-time rivals get together. But control, not emotion, was on David Smiths mind as the Alabama quarterback prepared to face seventh-ranked Auburn.

Its tough to keep it all under control, Smith said, heading into todays Iron Bowl showdown against the Tigers. The key is controlling your emotion and not getting too out of whack.

Kickoff at Legion Field was set for 1:30 p.m. CST.

For the first time since 1963, the game against Auburn isnt the season windup for Alabama, although it was meant to be. The 17th-ranked Crimson Tide, 7-2, has to play next Thursday at Texas A&M to make up for a Sept. 17 game that was postponed in the wake of Hurricane Gilbert.

After facing Texas A&M. Alabama will then prepare to meet Army in the Sun Bowl on Christmas Eve.

Auburn, 9-1, will be going to a bowl, as well, but the Tigers travel plans depend on Alabama. A victory over the Tide would give Auburn a share of the Southeastern Conference title with Louisiana State and, despite losing to LSU, a probable berth in the Sugar Bowl against Florida State.

A tie or a loss, on the other hand, would send LSU to New Orleans on Jan. 2 and Auburn to Tampa, Fla., the same day for a Hall of Fame Bowl date against Syracuse.

Smith, who missed three games earlier in the season because of a knee injury, has completed nearly 61 percent of his passes this season for 1,032 yards. Although a senior, his final game against Auburn marked his first start in this states biggest game.

To me, this game means everything, Smith said. This is the game Ill always remember ... No one slows down for a single play. There are incredible highs and lows. Its a game you want to be a part of.

a game you want to come out of a winner.

But to win. Smith had to solve the stingiest defense in the nation. Entering the game, the Tigers led the country in total defense (213.2 yards a game) and in scoring defense (6.9 points a game).

If we can somehow rattle him, Auburn linebacker Quentin Riggins said of Smith, that will be the answer. I dont think hes been rattled all year, but not many teams have the defensive line we have.

Auburn quarterback Reggie Slack, the SEC leader with 2,010 passing yards and nine touchdowns, had his own problems. Waiting for him was Alabama linebacker Derrick Thomas, who calls himself the Sack Demon.

Im going to play my best game, predicted Thomas, who had already registered a school-record 20 sacks for minus-159 yards and a safety this season.

Alabama leads the series 30-21-1, but Auburn has won four of the last six games.

For the first time since the series resumed in 1948, the ticket allotment wasnt divided 50-50. Under a new agreement. Auburn, designated the vistor, was limited to 10,900 tickets while Alabama got the rest at 75,000-seat Legion Field. Next year, the situation will be reversed when the game is played at Auburn for the first time.

Auburn coach Pat Dye wasnt worried about the new arrangement.

Our concern is not in the stands, he said. Our concern is the 11 players who will line up across from us on every play. That is where the game will be won or lost, not in the stands.

Of course, Alabama coach Bill Curry disagreed.

There will be a lot of noise, he said. Certainly, I think its an advantage for us.

Dye was 8-0 against Curry, winning seven games over Georgia Tech when Curry was in charge of that program, and then beating him last November in his first season at Alabama.

well confront it that day.

Besides the level of competition, what the coaches here must confront is the vacation attitude. Players from Michigan, Oklahoma and DePaul are not used to walking around in tank tops and shorts on the final weekend of November.

They know they have to concentrate on one thing while were here. Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said of his team. Its no problem for this team to focus on whats important. That may be hard playing in a small, hot arena and practicing at Lahainaluna High School, a mountainside group of buildings founded in 1831. It certainly seems strange to enter the tiny gym and watch Top Twenty teams getting ready to start the season.

The bottom line of this tournament is that somebody thats not supposed to is going to end up with three tosses, and you just have to hope it isnt you, Michigan coach Bill Frieder said.

There are very few losers when the Maui Classic is over. The schools have to absorb almost the entire cost of the trip, but it has been shown to be worth it. It is a recruiting tool and also gives alumni and boosters a chance to take a nice vacation while seeing their team play.

The 18 NBA scouts here will have had a chance to see seniors such as Oklahomas Stacey King and Michigans Glen Rice as well as a host of talented underclassmen in a setting that makes up for alt those

ice-covered rimways and broken rental car heaters.

"We try to show the people who visit for the tournament what Hawaii is really like. Stosik said. We always hear players asking about the cost of living here and they say things like back in the States. We show them we are one of the 50 and make sure they sw the local culture and what we are.

Last year's tournament was won by Iowa, topping a field that included eventual national champion Kansas.

The NCAA instituted a rule stating this season that a team can visit an exotic location such as Hawaii. Alaska or Puerto Rico only once every four years without the games counting toward the limit of 28 in a season.

Stosik said the rule could hurt a tournament such as the Maui Classic, and he will join his counterpart with the Great Alaska Shootout and the San Juan Shootout to lobby the NCAA Convention in January for a change in the rule.

We will be there and work hard to change it, he said. We do have some fine teams committed for next season North Carolina, Louisville, Villanova and Missouri. Villanova is in San Juan this year but they have said they will count the games.

The games dont count against the limit, but do count on the won-lost record. And half the teams here will leave with sub- 500 records.

Seminles Wary Of Gator Team

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Fifth-ranked Florida States battle against arch-enemy Florida on Saturday night could be a repeat of the Seminles 1987 victory or a reminder to Coach Bobby Bowden of the years of Gator domination in the series. "

The Seminles. 9-1, are favored over the Gators, 6-4. But Florida holds a 22-7-1 lead in the series, including a 9-3 record at Tallahassee since the teams began an annual series in 1958.

Last year, Florida State came from behind for a 28-14 victory that ended Floridas six-year winning streak. Not trusting too much to luck, Bowden has been preparing his team in restricted practices this week.

We always have things up the sleeve, but we wanted to close things down so the players can keep their heads on their business. You dont like to have a lot of distractions when youre preparing for Florida, he said.

When Bowden came to Florida State in 1976, hed never had a losing season and was 4-0-1 in bowl games. But from 1981 through 1986, he couldnt find a way to beat Florida, and Seminole fans kept asking why.

Some letters were nasty enough that they wouldnt get past his secretary. Sue Hall.

My face turned red reading them, she said. And I hear a lot of things around here.

After losing in 1976, Bowden won four straight and began to think it

would be easy. Then Florida won 35-3 in 1981.

I tried everything. Bowden said. After we lost a couple, I would try something else. I thought, Maybe we were too tight last year, lets not even talk about Florida. Then maybe we were too loose. It really begins to mount up.

It drove me crazy. I started to think, I cant beat these guys You start taking it personally.

The Gators also have been focusing on Florida State this week, hoping to finish their season on a high note.

We have been really concentrating on Florida State this week, and we fully expect a competitive game on Saturday, Coach Galen Hall said.

On Saturday, the rest of the season will mean little to the Gators.

This is the biggest rivalry that we have, tackle David Williams said. I have a lot of friends that play for that team. Really, its important to the fans and the players.

Defensive tackle Rhondy Weston agreed.

Its a lot bigger than Georgia and the other games, he said. Being an in-state rivalry might make it that big. You always see people on the other team, and youre always talking about it.NEW 14K GOLD

The idea began 20 months ago, at the funeral of long-time Ohio State coach Woody Hayes. Today, it nears fruition, flourishing beyond all original hopes due largely to the dedication of Rex Kern, one of Woodys boys.

Kern was the quarterback of Hayes last nationa championship team, the 1968 Buckeyes. When Woody died, I was on my way to Columbus for the memorial when I got to thinking that he meant so much more to us as players than just our coach, Kern said. He was a humanitarian. I wanted to do something to honor his memory.

So Kern wrote to his teammates, hoping to establish a scholarship fund in Hayes name at Ohio State. The goal was $100,000, modest by some fund-raising standards. Kern never guessed how modest, though.

Today, with 90 percent of the 1968 team participating, the fund has multiplied through the purchase of insurance policies that build cash values to more than $1 million. The Woody Hayes Scholarship Fund will be used to help ex-players who did not graduate to return for their degrees.

A 90-percent participation in any fund-raising appeal is unusual, but Kern was not surprised. Woodys boys were loyal to the coach whose crusty image was contrived, according to Kern.

He wanted that image, the exquarterback said. The tantrums were all designed as a diversionary tactic to keep the pressure off his players. He was crusty, but underneath hed give you the shirt off his back. He had the biggest heart in the world.

Kern remembers the crusty coach who made four trips to visit troops in Vietnam and then called the parents of the soldiers he met when he got back to the United States,

And he remembers the crusty coach who arrived unannounced to visit the hospitalized wife of an elderly Ohio State fan he had met for the first time at a shopping mall a couple of hours earlier.

And he remembers the crusty coach who turned the Buckeyes over to a sophomore quarterback 20 years ago, allowing the kid to call signals at a time when it was fashionable for plays to be sent in from

fho GiHplitiPQ

We opened against SMU, Kern said. We were moving downfield late in the first half and came up to a fourth and 10 at about the SM 42 with maybe two minutes to go.

Woody used to tell me if I felt something in the huddle, to go with my instinct. I thought our guys were one play away from making something happen.

Hayes sent in the punter and the sophomore quarterback, starting his first game, sent him back out, I called a play, a bad pass play, Kern said. My receiver was covered and I had to improvise. I was naked out there.
