Eastern Airlines filed for protection from creditors in bankruptcy court today, the sixth day of a bitter strike by Machinists that virtually shut down the nations seventh-largest carrier and cost it up to $7 million a day.

The filing under Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in NeW York is designed to give tottering Eastern a reprieve from bills and debts while it tries to restructure and extricate itself from the worst crisis in the history of the 60-year-old airline.

It is the companys intention to reorganize, Bruce Zirinsky, an at-

torney for Eastern, said at bankruptcy court.

Eastern boss Frank Lorenzo, in an interview in The Washington Post today, said he would resurrect as much of Eastern as possible if the airline is forced into bankruptcy court.

We will do everything we can to put Eastern into the air, he said. I dont want to be one of the people in history who was involved in the loss of this great company.

Zirinsky said the court filing included a Hst of Easterns 20 largest unsecured creditors and a rundown of assets and liabilities. The summary reflects an equity well in ex

cess of $1 billion after all liabilities, Zirinsky said.

This company has lied to us, to the media and to the community, saying theyve had plenty of money and bankruptcy was only an alternative, said Frank Ortis, vice president of Machinists Local 702 in Miami. Then all of a sudden clandestinely they come out only five days into the strike and file Chapter 11. Something is wrong.

Eastern, running just 4 pfercent of its flights with a skeleton crew of 1,500, had warned it could end up in bankruptcy court by weeks end if pilots continue to honor picket lines. Analysts estimates of the carriers

daily losses have ranged from $2 million to $7 million.

On Wednesday, the fifth day of the acrimonious Machinists walkout, Eastern strikers, united in hostility for Lorenzo, asked his rival Carl Icahn to consider a buyout as the crippled carrier desperately tried to stay aloft by slashing fares and selling airport gates.

A Chapter 11 filing by Eastern would not prevent a takeover of the airline by Icahn. But an acquisition would require approval by the bankruptcy court as well as creditors, making such a transaction more cumbersome. Unions, which (See STRIKE, A-J3)

Replacement For Tower

By Carol Tyer

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Many Pitt County residents stayed at home Wednesday in deference to the weather, but those who did get out found most main roads passable thanks to the early morning work begun by road maintenance workers.

Fred Edwards, N.C. Department of Transportation maintenance engineer for Pitt County, said today that some 70 DOT maintenance workers started to work at 3 a.m. Wednesday and some of those employees had just gone home to sleep this morning.

Just about all of them worked from 3 a.m. to 10 p.m. last night, Edwards said, and we kept a few here through the night to answer calls.

Edwards said the first work done Wednesday morning involved spreading a mixture of sand and salt on bridges on all the main roads in the county. Then as the roads began to freeze, snow plows and heavy motor graders moved in. The workers branched out to secondary roads as they were able, he said.

Wednesday nights calls were to remove tree limbs that had fallen, obstructing secondary roads, he said.

Edwards said the weather-related emergency work has delayed a project to replace a failed drainage pipe on N.C. 222 west of Falkland. What should have been a two-day job has turned into a four-day one, he said. But were going to get that road open today.

The spokesman said he expects some further bridge maintenance work as more flooding of area waterways appears likely. Weve had a lot of work to do clearing debris thats lodged against bridges, especially on Grindle Creek in northern Pitt County, he said. We expect some more of this. I can tell you, all our people will really be glad when spring comes.

Mayo Allen, Greenville public ' works director, said his street crew hit bridges with sand and salt around 4 a.m. Wednesday and then went on to streets. He said most were back to their regular jobs by 7 a.m., although the streets continued to be monitored all day Wednesday and a couple of crews even stayed through the night to take calls.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate today set the stage for rejecting the nomination of John Tower to run the Pentagon, while the White House appeared resigned to defeat and said President Bush would have a replacement candidate quickly if Tower was defeated.

Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole of Kansas agreed to a late-aftemoon vote on the nomination after withdrawing a last-minute bid to give Tower an extraordinary six-month trial period as secretary of defense to prove he can abstain from drinking.

There was no doubt about the outcome as the Senate went through the motions of debating the nomination through the final few hours before the roll call.

The bottom line in this place is how many votes do you have, how many votes can you change, can you change any? Dole said. And I think it is fairly clear despite this good faith effort that it is not going to change any votes.

Dole said Tower had told him he had rather the six-

month probation plan be withdrawn so that the remaining hours of debate could be spent on the actual merits of his nomination.

With the prospect of defeat seemingly inevitable. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said, If necessary, well come up with a (new) candidate very rapidly.

Names most frequently mentioned in White House speculation as a replacement for Tower if his nomination failed are Sen. John Warner, R-Va., the ranking GOP member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a former secretary,of the Navy; former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; former Rep. Jack Edwards, R-Ala.; and national security adviser Brent Scowcroft.

Scowcroft replied No when asked this morning if he was in line for the Pentagon job.

It must be clear to all that people like the chief of staff and the national security adviser, any number of congressmen and senators and any numter of other outside experts have candidates on the tip of their tongue, Fitzwater said.

Teachers Accept Higher Tax But Object To Career Ladder

By Cherie Evans

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Teachers in Pitt County say they will pay a higher sales tax to raise their salaries, but they still dont like the career ladder program Gov. Jim Martin has piggybacked on his new propo^l to boost the tax levy.

Meanwhile, area legislators say they need time to study Martins proposal and to consider other options.

Martins latest plan for providing teachers in the state with more

money in their paychecks includes increasing the sales tax by a penny. That would raise the tax from 5 cents to 6 cents, generating about ,$510 million annually.

The governor also proposed excluding food and non-prescription drugs from the sales tax, which he unsuccessfully pushed in 1985. And, he called for partial restoration of the 3 percent commission merchants formerly received for collecting the'

sales tax. The commission was abolished in 1987.

Martin unveiled his plan Wednesday before the state Board of Education.

Jackie Wooten, a teacher at Bethel Elementary School, said most of the teachers she has talked with would support a tax increase to raise their salaries. Ms. Wooten is president of District 16 of the North Carolina Association of Educators.

They feel a real need to go ahead and fix the schedule, she said.

Gray Land To Be Sold At Auction

By John Bare

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

A parcel of land where a Bethel funeral home owner has stored medical waste and human body parts is scheduled to be sold at pub ic auction March 23 as part of a bankruptcy settlement.

Gray Farms Inc., which owns the 46 acres of land on rural paved road 1547 near Stokes, filed for bankruptcy last April under a Chapter 11 corporate reorganization plan, said

Anne Bishop, a legal assistant with the Wilson law firm that was appointed by a federal judge to act as trustee in the sale.

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The immediate future for the pine lumber industry in North Carolina and throughout the South looks very bright, according to the president of the Southern Forest Products Association.

Karl Lindberg coordinated a forum of timber industry spokesmen and representatives from Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina who braved icy weather to attend a meeting of the SFPA on Wednesday in Greenville.

Because of the weather, we had a number of people who could not make the meeting from other member states of the SFPA, Lindberg said.

Industry spokesmen who attended, however, through slide shows and discussions, covered a number of

recent developments in pine products manufactured in the South.

Lindberg said Southern pine is bij business in North Carolina. He sak that Bob Slocum, executive vice president of the North Carolina Forestry Association, has reported that 1.1 billion board feet of pine lumber was produced in North Carolina during 1988, providing employment for 145,000 workers with an annual payroll of $2.5 billion. The weather prevented Slocum from attending the meeting.

Lindberg said the 13 Southern states recorded total lumber production of 12.6 million board feet in 1988, up from 12.4 billion board feet in 1987.

One of the brightest spots in production and marketing of Southern pine timber products during 1988, Lindberg said, has been the export of lumber to overseas destinations.

particularly in the Caribbean and in Western Europe.

The spokesman said that 35 percent of the export of 490 million board feet of lumber went to the Caribbean primarily to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. In both these countries, assistance has been given the timber industry by the Foreign Agriculture Service, which has recently underwritten the funding of programs to induce Caribbean nations to think in terms of purchasing U.S. timber products, said Lindberg.

The association president said export uf Southern pine products to the European market saw a dramatic increase during 1988 up 139 percent over 1987. Lindberg said the market gained substantial strength in Spain and Italy with demand also on the increase in Great Britain, de- ^ velopments that bode well for the

future of the lumber industry.

Also in Europe, assurances have been given that all U.S. military bases will use only U.S. products in construction needs, Lindberg said.

Timber products manufactured from pines in the South yellow pine is the most important basic raw material are in increased demand both in the United States and for export, the timber spokesmen said Wednesday.

An item for domestic use which gives promise of exceptional increase in utilization of rugged timber products is that of constructing small bridges of wood rather than concrete, they said. Technological improvements in treating timber has now made such usage of wood feasible for bridge building, as well as for the construction of heavy-duty sound barriers.

Discussing problems areas con

fronted by the timber industry, the spokesmen said the main focus is on dealing with tighter restrictions required by more stringent state and federal laws relative to the environment; things like the control of wood dust; proposed restrictions on timber harvest in wetlands, and a moratorium on cltearcutting within three quarters of a mile from cockaded woodpecker nests in North Carolinas Croa tan National Forest

In addressing wetlands cutting, the timber spokesmen said that government agencies need to more clearly define wetlands the current definition not only covers flood )lains and other areas of basically ow-lying areas, but includes large areas that are devoted extensively to agriculture - for example, just about all of Hyde County.

cent ice storm, will make up an additional day missed on Saturday.

Workforce 2000, the fourth annual employer-educator conference sponsored by the East Carolina University Office of Cooperative Education, will be held March 16 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in ECUs Mendenhall Student Center.

The event is a forum for employers and educators to discuss effective ways to respond to technological, social and other changes of the 21st century, said Dr. Betsy Harper, director of the ECU Cooperative Education office.

Cooperative education is a system of combining classroom studies with actual work in a students chosen field. CoK)p students alternate on-campus terms with co-op assignments arranged by Dr. Harper and her staff.

Keynote speaker at the conference will be Betsy Justus, chairman of the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina.

A panel discussion, Voices from the Workplace, will include representatives from Bell Northern Research, Southern Bell, Cliff Weil Inc. of Richmond, the USDA Forest

Service and the Social Security Administration. Responding will be a panel of ECU faculty members along with students who have done co-op assignments with Nothern Telecom, Burroughs Wellcome and Merck, Sharpe and Dohme.

The afternoon portion of the conference will feature concurrent sessions on such topics as Changing Workforce ^ Changing Values, Entrepreneurial Assistance, Labor Shortage in the Hospitality an(Wlecreation Industries. Computer Integrated Enterprise and Women in Management.

Leaf Firms Fell Short On Contracts

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WILMINGTON - Eight of 10 leaf dealers who had contracts to supply American flue-cured leaf to Taiwan last year could not fill the orders, and five of them asked to substitute blends of foreign and domestic tobacco, Taiwan officials say.

We were completely surprised that the companies were unable to fill the orders, said C.H. Sung, chief of agricultural affairs for the Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly

Bureau. That was a shock for us. Sung said his firm has had good relationships with the American companies, but rejected their requests for blended shipments of foreign and U.S. leaf.

We have no reason to accept leaves from other countries, Sung told the Wilmington Morning Star in a telephone interview from his office in Taipei.

Sung said five-companies sent letters, all dated Nov. 14, 1988, requesting an amendment to their con

tracts to permit blended leaf shipments. Sung said the contract is a standard contract to all companies that want to supply tobacco to the monopoly.

Among the off-campus speakers, and panelists will be representatives from NASA, Community Health Alternatives, Inc., Raleigh, Duke Futures of Durham, the U.S. Department of Education, Walt Disney World, Marriott Hilton Head Resort, the National Restaurant Association, IBM and Wachovia Bank and Trust Co.

Businesses, industries and government agencies interested in cooperative education arrangements are being invited to send representatives to the conference and to a preconference Career Fair, scheduled for 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center.

Advance registration is requested of employers and educators who wish to attend the conference and Career Fair. There is a fee for for participation.

For more information contact Gladys Tice, Office of Cooperative Education, 2028 General Classroom Building, ECU; telephone 757-6979.

The Taiwan contracts surfaced as officials of the U.S. Agriculture and Justice departments investigate charges that tobacco dealers made millions of dollars through federal export credit guarantee programs by exporting blended leaf as 100 percent U.S. tobacco.

Truth In Preference To Fiction

Questionable

Innovation, Creativity Good Business

Time, Inc. and Warner Communications have joined the megabusiness trend with their announcement of merger which will create the worlds largest empire of media and entertainment.

Time, Inc. is noted for its magazines Time, People, Sports Illustrated as well as book publishing and other divisions. Warner has movie, television and cable communications interests.

Together they will create an $18 billion company with annual revenue estimated at $10 billion.

Why the mania for bigness in the media field? It is being affected by the same winds which are blowing through all industries in this time. Business is becoming worldwide in scope and corporations which are not large enough to compete on a worldwide basis run the risk of being absorbed.

The Associated Press reported that Time officials have predicted there will be some half dozen international corporations in the media and entertainment field. They plan for their company to be one of them.

Whether all that is good for the unique media and entertainment field seems questionable. Obviously fewer and fewer people will control creative and informational activities, not only in the United States but worldwide. The other side is that these few surviving groups will have the vast resources needed to develop new entertainment and informational services and to defend new ideas when necessary.

The developing media and entertainment giants must recognize that they are the guardians and protectors of creativity and new ideas. They will be blessed with developing technology which has been unimagined in the past, but it will still be people who provide the product. Encouraging innovation and creativity will continue to be good business, as it always has.

Boat Show Attracts Attention

Add to a number of successful Pitt County events the Eastern North Carolina Boat show which ran for four days at New Greenville Warehouse.

The show, sponsored by the Pitt-Greenville Chamber of Commerce, was reported to have drawn 13,000 people from a large area. The chamber reported over 50 dealers participated and virtually all have signed up to participate next year. The show will, of course, become an annual event here.

Even though Greenville has no broad expanse of water there are unlimited waterways nearby in the Pamlico River and sound. With the motel and restaurant facilities here, as well as air transportation and improving highways, it becomes quite logical to stage a boat show here.

The boat show, in fact, is a good example of the kinds of events which are being sought for Pitt County to bring people here for several days. Those who come spend money at motels, restaurants and in local retail businesses. It is called travel and tourism dollars. The money spent by visitors stays here and contributes to the local economy.

Equally important is that many people are drawn here by such events who have never visited the area before. While we are excited about the growth and development taking place in Pitt County, the full impact registers on visitors only after they come here.

The boat show and similar events offer a service to sellers and buyers. They provide interesting events for local people and help make Pitt County a focal point of the area.

Two Dents In Presidential Authority

WASHINGTON - The handling of the John Tower confirmation fight and the Eastern Airlines strike is showing signs of fundamental confusion in the fledgling Bush administration. In both instances, the disarray is contributing to the very result George Bush sought to avoid a weakening of the authority of the President.

Bush had a clear right under existing law to order a 60-day cooling-off period in the dispute between Eastern and its machinists union. Thats what government mediators requested, in order to avoid a strike which threatens the survival of the company, the jobs of the workers and the travel plans of thousands. Instead of using his executive power. Bush let the strike bgin and then said that if it s{read, he would toss the ball to Congress with a request that it repeal old legislation that allows the union to disrupt operations at other carriers.

In the showdown over Towers appointment as secretary of defense, where the Constitution and political reality clearly dictated that he could not act unilaterally. Bush failed to acknowledge ttie constraints that the Senates role placed on his freedom of action, and thereby precipitated an unnecessary crisis.

The resiilt may be a lose-lose proposition, which would embarrass the President and raise doubts about his political astuteness and capability at a dangerously early point in his term.

Bush came to office believing that Congress has encroached on presidential prerogatives in many areas, a view which many scholars and disinterested observers believe warranted. But by shunting responsibility to Congress in the Eastern case and refusing to acknowledge the Senates role in the Tower confirmation, he may have weakened the case for reclaiming authority that is rightly his.

In the Tower case, Bush feels aggrieved

David

Broder

because the Democratic senators opposing Tower have failed to demonstrate Towers unfitness for the Pentagon post. Their reply is that file proof lies in the FBI reports, which Bush properly refuses to make public. But that leaves the public in the unhappy position of being unable to determine whether Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) and Co. read the evidence properly, or whether Bush and the Republican senators supporting Tower have the better case.

An outsider, not privy to the secret files, cannot judge that question. But anyone can understand that when the voters mandated a continuation of divided government last November, they created a situation requiring that Bush and Nunn BOTH have confidence in the secretary of defense.

A defense secretary is not like a federal judge. The latter, once confirmed by the Senate, never has to go back there again. But a defense secretary has to come back to the Senate Armed Services Committee again and again and again in order to do his job. And as chairman o that committee, Nunn dominates defense policy on Capitol Hill, both intellectually and politically, to an extent rarely seen in the postwar period.

Given that reality, the White House had only two options: either be sure that Sam Nunn stayed on board, or find someone else. It did neither, and now it is paying the price.

Initially, Nunn accepted the Presidents choice, but the continuing accumulation of evidence about Towers personal habits caused the Georgian to change his mind. At that point, the nomination was kaput whether or not Bush could muster 51 votes for confirmation in the Senate,.

In the Eastern case, the power realities were different, but the President has muddied the picture. If his goal were to prevent the strikeshut-down and put the burden for resolving the dispute equally on the shoulders of the company and the union, he could have givn the mediators 60 days more to work for a solution. By side-stepping that action. Bush has made it appear that he has another agenda. He seems intent on ptting pressure on the workers to accept the concessions that Eastern boss Frank Lorenzo has failed to extract in the free collective-bargaining process. And he seems eager to pressure the Democratic Congress to give him a change in labor law it refused to pss in the past.

Bush can make a plausible case on the merits that the law should be changed and fiie wage concessions granted. But his tactic again fails to recognize the political realities. The leaders of other unions are far more committed to the machinists battle with Lorenzo than they were to the air controllers strike in 1981, which Ronald Reagan used to justify busting that union. The Democrats in Congress are anything but eager to hand Bush a public-relations victory at the expense of their allies in organized labor.

Because Bush in effect invited this crisis by declining to exercise powers Congress has given the Pr^ident, his justification seems strained. The ultimate damage is to the very presidential authority Bush set out to protect.

A Huge Ship With A Small Rudder

WASHINGTON - While Washington has recently had its mind, such as it is, on other mat-ters, events, and Alan Greenspan, have been pulling attention back to basics. The government is again failing at the fundamental task of maintaining the currency as a stable store of value.

If inflation reemerges, says G\eenspan, I think a recession wuHbove up on us much more quickly than we can imagine, and when it occurs it will be a prolonged one. So the Federal Rese^-ve Board, chaired by Greenspan, is causing interest rates to rise.

Using that blunt instrument to control the money supply is like steering a huge ship with a small rudder through a narrow Bosporus with strong, unpredictable crosscurrents and jagged reefs. As Fred Astaire once said to a new dance partner, Dont be nervoqs just dont make any mistakes.

Actually, the Fed began tightening last March. But history indicates that fighting inflation with small increments in interest rates is like fighting North Vietnam with minutely calibrated graduated responses in bombing. It is a recipe for protracted failure. But abrupt action would be too dangerous.

Long gone is the early 1960s confidence that the economy can easily be kept on an even keel by twiddling monetary policy or tweaking fiscal policy. Greenspan has no naivete, but also no choice. The twin deficits budget and trade, and the appearance already of more government gridlock and budgetary bad faith at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, cause the Fed to worry about the fragile confidence of wary foreign lenders.

We cannot afford a recession or

George

WiU

even a slowdown, given the dreamy optimism of the assumptions and projections the Bush administration pretends to believe and in fact is acting on. But neither can we afford inflation now that mismanagement has made the economy hostage to foreign creditors.

A nation that piles up a mountain of debt has a huge temptation to tolerate inflation as a silent, slow-motion repudiation of )art of the debt. The enormous arrowing from abroad to finance the U.S. deficit has given inflation a new dangerousness. Note, says Pat Moynihan, that in the years immediately ahead, inflation, or the threat of inflation, will take on a wholly different aspect than at any time in the past. It would be repudiation of U.S. foreign debt.

So foreigners holding, or contemplating holding, dollar-denominated assets are watching nervously and are ready to bolt. Foreigners hold $1.5 trillion in liquid U.S. assets. That is nearly double, the sum just five years ago (American consumption has exceeded American production by $700 billion in five years) and the sum is increasing by $10 billion a month.

Greenspan calls todays inflation rate of between 4 and 4.5 percent unacceptable. Michael Boskin, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, seemed less exacting when he told Congress that, We certainly do not

want inflation to drift up into the seven, nine and finally doubledigit rates we saw in the late 1970s. But elsewhere Boskin has stressed the danger that 4.5 percent could come to be considered the floor.

Certainly perceptions of acceptability change. Inflation was about 4 percent when President Nixon and his conservative advisers considered the crisis grave enough to justify the radical act of wage and price controls. Today Republicans are content to boast-that for five years inflation has not exceeded 5 percent annually. One definition of tolerable infla-i tion is a rate low enough that it does not shape peoples economic decisions. For example, fear of inflation can cause what the economy needs least: increased consumption at the expense of savings and investment by people afraid that inflation will deva ue investments and make more cost- ly any consumption that is deferred.

For most of the era in which

the United States has had a national economy since the Civil War interest rates have been 1 or 2 percent. In the current expansion, real rates (the prime interest rate minus the inflation rate) have averaged 6.5 percent. This is partly because of the strong demand for credit, partly because of the need to build an in-flation-expectation premium into rates.

Todays higher interest rates deliberately caused by a government agency, the Fed, can be considered a tax increase on credit. As one analyst says, Its like a tax increase to the household sector, where more and more consumers have adjust-able-rate mortgages (56 percent of all mortgages now) and personal loans pegged to the prime rate.

The Fed is saying: Read our lips. There really is no free lunch and the bill for the gluttony of the 1980s is coming due.

cord of state judges distorts the intent of the state Constitution. Governors appoint judges who are then almost to defeat at the polls. Winner said. In effect, he concludes, that initial appointment of a judge is an appointment for life.

Thats the opinion of a senator who is pushing a constitutional amend-

We have had an appointive system for as long as we have been

a one-party state, Winner said. Far more than 90 percent of our current judges came to the bench by way of gubernatorial appointment and almost all ran unopposed.

But North Carolina is no longer a one-party state even when it comes to the statewide election of judges. That fact has led many

Democratic legislators to begin considering changes in how judges are chosen. Like Winner, they want to change the judicial selection procedure before too many state judicial races become as heated in partisan political terms as the 1986 race for chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court.

On Rushdie, Carter Should Know Better

Amy

Schwartz

WASHINGTON So Jimmy Carter thinks Salman Rushdies book The Satanic Verses is an insult to Moslems and to religion generally and writing on the op-ed page of the Sunday New York Times

says that though of course we in this country object to death threats and censorship and so forth, we should make clear there is no endorsement of the insult to the sacred beliefs of our Moslem friends.

Mr. Carter is not alone in sounding this theme, though his voice may carry the furthest. Others have begun to complain that Rushdie must have known how much his chosen techniques would hurt Muslims, and to accuse him of stirring up passions for the sake of the publicity. British Foreign Secreta^ Sir Geoffrey Howe, attempting-^ defuse matters with the Iranians, observed that we are not in line with, or in sympathy with, or in support of the book and that it is extremely critical, rude about us. The British pwple, he adds, in a stunning repudiation of the authors citizenship, had nothing to do with the writing or publishing of The Satanic Verses. Suddenly there seems to be a question, not of whether Rushdie should be censored, but whether he, well, ought to have done something so insensitive as to disrespect Islam.

How on earth has the debate gotten to this point? When a former U.S. president chimes in with a dismissal of Rushdies serious artistic intent as insulting, and suggests we are holding our nose on this

as we might do in defending a neo-Nazi rally or a pornographer

then maybe its time to restate some things about censorship and artistic

Geoffrey says Rushdie "compares Britain with Hitlers Germany (a characterization Rushdie contests.) Is it too much trouble to remind people that novels good ones, anyway, as oppc^ed to apparatchik trash do not take positions? That they are not political arguments but explorations of life and experience? The Satanic Verses (Mr. Carter does not say whether he has read it, but implies not) is not an attack on religion. To say so is roughly on a par with saying Cervantes Don Quixote is an attack on knights and chivalry. Satanic Verses Is an elaborate system of different stories, some rather weird, that together try to illuminate religious belief, unbelief and doubt and the ways they fight one another in peoples lives. Its topic sentence is not religion is bad or Mohammed was a charlatan. Like most novels worth reading, it doesnt have a

topic sentence, except possibly that life!

life sure is complicated.

It so happens that because Mr. Carter was president, we know a fair amount about his spiritual life. He is a man of faith, and his faith nurtures him. It also happens that in this world there are many people whose spiritual experience has been different. Some have had faith and lost it. Some never had it. Some have had it and moved to a society where it is not respected. What Rushdie does is paint pictures some conventional and some fantastical, some direct and some symbolic of all these different experiences. One guesses that he is someone who has lived both extremes; he is, at any rate, terrifically good at evoking each. (It is hardly noted that The Satanic Verses is full of equally vivid evocations of the life of faith.) Why is this sort of thing so valuable that it needs the kincb of protection, the kind -of reverence, that the West affords it? Simple enough. It helps us see life more ful-

ly. It helps us understand.

What the protesters of a Salman Rushdie - or of a Last Temptation of Christ - are saying is that people whose experience of religion is different from theirs - those who doubt the truth of their religion, or who reject it, or who want to reject it but cant - ought not to be allowed to see that experience described in writing. Note well: cen-sors-protesters are not people who

are being forced to read or view these depictions of doubt. (In Rushdies case, the book isnt even written in a language most protesters can read.)No, censors merely object to a conversation that others wish to have in their absence.

President Carter and Sir Geoffrey are not censors. But by signing onto the idea that the treatment in literature of certain kinds of feelings anger at British society on the one

hand, doubt of religious dogma on the other is in itself offensive and insulting, they are allowing and encouraging the movement toward a view that some kinds of experiences are not acceptable for transcription. From there the next step is easy.

Amy E. Schwartz is a member of The Washington Posts editorial page staff.

During a recent meeting of the Senate Constitutional Amendments Committee, Winner showed a videotape of ads that ran on Texas television during the 1988 campaign. Those ads, for judicial offices, were as dirty as just about anything seen in the 1%4 North Carolina campaign for U.S. Senate.

Winner said he fears that North Carolina judicial candidates will be forced to begin raising large amounts of money to fund TV oriented campaigns. He said that if big money is needed, its most likely to come from the only people who seem to really care about judicial races the states lawyers. Again he turned to the Texas experience where national attention has been focused on that states problems with huge campaign contributions to judges from lawyers who will later have to appear before those judges.

The Winner bill was developed by a subcommittee of the study commission that was chaired by Republican Sen. Howard Bryan of Statesville.

The plan calls for the initial appointment of judges by the governor and the confirmation of those judges by the General Assembly. These judges would serve four-year terms

and then face a retention procedure. A judge seeking another term would go before the Judicial Standards Commission, a 7-member panel appointed by the bar, the governor and the chief justice, and the commission would recommend whether or not the judge be retained. The General Assembly could then overturn that recommendation only if two-thirds of each house voted to do so. If retained, a judge would then serve an eight-year term.

As winner sees it, this procedure would not take politics out of the selection of judges. Governors and legislators would still prefer judges who were of their own political stripe. But it would eliminate the need for fundraising and for campaigning. It is an imaginative approach aimed at getting, and retaining, good people on the bench.

But theres one serious weakness to the plan. It takes the people out of the process. Voters would have no way of getting rid of a judge they dicint like. T hear Winner s[^k of North Carolina judicial history, however, that has not been a power state voters have chosen to use much anyway. And we all know that when you dont use a right, you often lose it. '

Lawmakers Eye Revised Revenue Plan For Roads

By John Flesher

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH Poorer car buyers would pay less under a revised revenue formula presented by sponsors of an $8.6 billion highway plan, but praise for the latest proposal was not unanimous.

A spokesman for the states new-car dealers reacted coolly, saying more study was needed, ^n. Marc Basnight, D-Dare, said the new pro-X)sal might be too costly for car )uyers.

Under the new version, the states 2 percent sales tax on automobiles would be replaced with a 3 percent

highway user fee similar to the proposed title transfer fee in the original bill.

Sen. Bill Goldston, D-Rockingham, presented the revised formula on Wednesday to the Senate Transportation Committ^, which took no vote. He said he,^had briefed Gov. Jim Martin and Transportation Secretary Jim Harrington and that they reacted favoralbly.

Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Alamance, chairman of the House Infrastructure Committee, said he preferred the latest version as well.

Everybodys better off, thats why I think the plan has possibilities, Hunt said. Maybe

some other revenue source is going to come up, maybe people would rather do this or that, but ... personally I like it better.

Under Goldstons plan, the user fee would be assessed when people purchase cars in North Carolina or when they move into the state from elsewhere. The 2 percent title transfer fee currently in the bill would be collected the same way.

The difference, he said, is that the user fee would more fairly distribute the burden between owners of expensive and inexpensive cars.

For example, under the existing bill, the buyer of a $10,000 car would pay the $200 sales tax and another $200 for the title transfer tax, for a

total of $400. Under the Goldston plan, the buyer would pay $300.

The buyer of a $15,000 car would pay $450 in taxes under Goldstons plan instead of $600 under the bill. But for a $50,000 car, the tax would be $1,500 under Goldstons plan and $1,300 under the original bill.

Goldstons latest proposal is the third being discussed by lawmakers to finance the states biggest highway construction program ever. All three would raise the gasoline tax by 5V4 cents per gallon at the pump, to just under 21 cents.

Aside from the original bill and the Goldston update, some automobile dealers are pushing to dump the title transfer fee and in

stead double the $20 license tag fee and the $10 drivers license fee.

This plan would fall several hundred million dollars short of the $8.6 billion needed to complete the construction program. Hunt said.

Goldston said he considers the title transfer fee more equitable than doubling license costs.

You take a guy whos got to buy a car ... he has a choice what price car he buys, he said. He can determine \^en he buys the car. If he still needs^^^lie can finance the tax in the'^pYice of the car. But people who renew licenses have to ante up ... with the cash right then.

The plan calls for building an in

trastate network designed to put at least 90 percent of the states population within 10 miles of a four-lane highway. It also envisions paving all secondary roads traveled by 50 or more cars per day within a decade and building loop highways around major urban centers.

Harrington gave the Senate committee a propped formula for ensuring fair distribution of the highway money to all regions, which the bill would require.

Under the tentative formula, the amount of money a region would get would depend on its amount of intrastate construction left to complete, its population and the number of miles driven on its roads.

NCSU Fund-Raising

RALEIGH (AP) North Carolina State University officials and supporters have met to map plans for a three-year, $200 million fund-raising drive.

The money will be used chiefly to endow scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students, attract top-flight faculty to the campus, and buy research equipment.

Among the projects to be financed through the $200 million campaign is NCSUs share of the 25,000-seat sports arena that has been proposed as a joint venture between N.C. State and the state of North Carolina.

State legislators last year gave school officials $1.5 million to plan the complex, which will be known as Centennial Center, and promised to pay for half its $M million cost provided the university raised the remainder on its own.

Art Protest

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) -Officials of the College of the Albemarle sparked a controversy this week when they removed three paintings depicting male nudity from an art show.

The show, featuring surrealistic paintings by John Bell III, a Meredith College art instructor and the son of former Mayor John Bell Jr., was over before it began.

One student and a handful of college staff members voiced their complaints just as Bell and Ben Hill, an art instructor at the College of the Albemarle, began to hang a series of eight paintings Monday. One painting didnt even make it to the wall.

Hanging those paintings, which are of a lewd and lascivious nature, is like handing out pornography in an English literature class, said Richard Talbott, a former student at the college.

The series was to be displayed at the two-year community college throughout March. It is being sent to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where it will become part of a larger one-man show next month.

Senate Panel Looks At Waste Site Plans

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - Efforts to increase the local involvement a community would have if chosen to host a hazardous waste treatment facility drew mixed reviews as a Senate committee considered a legislative package to renew North Carolinas quest for a state site.

Sen. Fountain Odom, D-Mecklen-burg, proposed allowing creation of a local advisory committee in a targeted area, to be funded by a $50,000 operator fee.

That proposal drew considerable debate, with Sen. Jim Johnson, R-Cabarrus, saying a local committee would probably offer only negative feedback all the way down the line.

Wherever this thing goes there is going to be absolutely open-sore warfare, no question about it, he said.

Sen. Dennis Winner, D-Buncombe, said the fee and the added oversight might discourage a private operator from seeking a waste contract.

The bill has been on a fast track in an attempt to regain access to South Carolina waste facilities closed to states that are not progressing on establishing similar services within their boundaries. Gov. Jim Martin would have most of the commission appointments, putting him in control of siting decisions.

The committee did not vote on the revised bill or any amendments because of delays in having the package printed, but further action was expected today.

In other legislative action Wednesday:

Icy highways in Wake County forced the House to cancel its morning committee meetings and led Speaker Joe Mavretic to ask the Rules Committee to consider ways to address foul weather.

Mavretic said during the House session that he had canceled the meetings Wednesday morning, al-thou^ he wasnt sure he had the authority. Senate committee met, but most started late as members trickled in.

The weather forced legislators to

Martin Unveils Proposed Boost In Sales Tax To Raise Salaries

call off a trip to Charlotte to see the Hornets play an NBA game. That sparked some quips from Sen, Bob Swain, D-Buncombe, who jokingly accused organizers of perpetrating a fraud in claiming Charlotte had a professional basketball team.

Sen. Fountain Odom, D-Mecklen-burg, bristled at that, saying, I will personally drive him down just as soon as this session is over if he wishes to slide down to Charlotte with me.

And Sen. Jim Richardson, D-Mecklenburg, said there was no fraud involved, although he said of Swain, I know that where he is from he is familiar with fraud.

Sen. Tom Taft, D-Pitt, boasted that he had gotten to both of his scheduled breakfast meetings with constituents, with an unexpected outcome.

They all said I was a fool to be there and I think I lost more votes this morning than I have in anything Ive done in the last three weeks, he said.

Among new bills filed Wednesday was a measure by Rep. Walter Jones, D-Pitt, to prevent exlegislators from lobbying the General Assembly until they have been away for at least two years.

Rep. Charles Cromer, R-Davidson, filed a bill to make someones cause of death confidential except for release to the next of kin or for research purposes.

Sen. Dan Simpson, R-Burke, filed a bill to increase sentences for crimes committed with ethnic animosity to a Class H felony punishable by three to five years in prison.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - Gov. Jim Martin has proposed a major tax increase for the second time in a month, saying a 1-cent boost in the levy on sales is needed to fulfill his campaign pledge tQ raise teacher salaries but might also permit abolition of the food tax.

'ie people of our state agree that it needs to be done, Martin told reporters Wednesday after unveiling his program before the State Board of Education. His speech kicked off what aides say will be a vigorous effort to sell the plan to legislators and the public.

Reflecting the difficulty Martin may encounter. Republican Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner stopped short of endorsing the plan although he agreed to study it and praised the governor for showing leadership. Some lawmakers also withheld immediate support.

But Martin said he was not worried about a political backlash from his support of a sales tax increase and the $8.6 billion highway construction package under consideration by the General Assembly, which would increase the gasoline tax 5V4 cents per gallon and levy a 2 percent auto title transfer fee.

The two tax increases would be" the biggest in state history. ^

Im not doing this just to see how high I bounce when I jump off a building, he said. I also believe its good politics when you know that ... the people of this state are concerned about schools and are willing to make an extra effort with schools, provided that we get some results.

Martin emphasized that statewide implementation of the career ladder, a merit-pay system in the experimental stage, is an essential component of his plan, despite the North Carolina Association of Educators opposition. He said he would not support a tax increase if the Legislature abandons the career ladder.

I am not proposing to raise taxes just to spend more money, Martin said at a news conference. If thats what it comes down to, then Im going to disown it. Its not mine.

Martin said he would offer more specific tax-cut proposals next week, saying he wanted to hear others ideas and did not want to shift the' focus away from his school program.

But he said exempting food and non-prescription drugs from the sales tax, which he unsuccessfully pushed in 1985, was one possibility. He did call for partial restoration of the 3 percent commission merchants formerly received for collecting the sales tax. The commission was abolished inl987. -

Key elements of the Martin program include:

Raising the sales tax from 5 cents per dollar to 6 cents, which would generate roughly $510 million annually.

Giving teachers an average pay raise of 6 percent, although raises would vary according to each teachers position on the Mlary schedule that has been frozen since 1982.

Martins plan would increase starting teachers pay by 4.3 percent ana create a schedule of 29 steps, each representing a roughly 2 percent pay increase.

In 1990-91, teachers would get another average 5 percent pay increase, allocated in a manner that would place all teachers on the salary scale at the positions they should be, depending on their experience. The next year, all teachers would begin receiving annual 2 percent step increases.

Giving other state employees a 4 percent across-the-board pay raise and appropriating funds to restore merit pay, which also has been frozen since 1982. Supervisors would

decide which employees receive merit raises, which would average 2 percent.

Proceeding with implementation of the career ladder, currently being tried in 16 school systems. Martin seeks $47 million per year beginning in 1989-90 to hire evaluators and other staff for the program. Statewide implementation of the five-level program would begin in 1991-92.

Creating a separate fund in the state budget for public schools and earmarking for it all revenue generated by the corporate income and sales taxes. Currently, 50 percent of the budgets general fund goes to elementary and secondary schools.

Partial restoration of the merchants sales tax discount. Martin proposes spending about $12 million in 1989-90 to restore about 60 percent of the discount for small retailers and about 10 percent for larger stores.

Establishing reserve funds for additional spending and tax cuts. Martins salary and career-ladder plans would cost $307.9 million in

1989-90, when the tax increase would generate $510 million. The governor also expects to gain $47 million from a crackdown on delinquent income tax payments, although the Legislature hasnt authorized that program.

From this new revenue, enough would be left after the pay Increases to establish a $180 million tax cut reserve and a $67.7 million reserve for spending increases in such areas as higher education and services for the elderly and mentally ill, Martin said.

Howard Students Continue Protest

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - Hundreds of University students, who le resignation Tuesday of Lee Atwater from the schools Board of Trustees, continued their occupation of Howards administration building Wednesday and disrupted many classes as they pressed dther demands.

Student leaders said they believed those demands including elimination of a proposed tuition increase, more campus security, creation of African American graduate studies and no disciplinary action against the demonstrators had been virtually resolved in discussions with university administrators.

The demonstrators, who negotiated with the administration throughout the day, said Wednesday night they were hopeful that an agreement with the university was near but were waiting for written assurances that protesters would not be punished or held liable for damage to university property.

University President James E. Cheek, who Tuesday called off a massive police attempt to remove the demonstrators, renewed his

threat Wednesday to have participants in the sit-in arrested and said they could be expelled if the protest did not stop.

But he said students would have to agree to vacate the administration building by the end of Wednesday and to stop disrupting the university.

He said any student who failed to meet those terms would be arrested, expelled or both.

They want the students to leave the buildings. Only then, they say, they will talk about reprisals, said Milliard Culpepper, an attorney for the students. Thats unacceptable to us.

Demonstrators said they were still waiting for documents showing that Atwaters resignation has officially been accepted by the university. We dont want Dr. Cheek to back out on his word, said student leader Van Johnson.

The students also said they did not plan to abandon their protest before a meeting with Jesse L. Jackson scheduled for around 9 on Wednesday night. Jackson was expected to m^ate a meeting between the protesters and administrators including Cheek scheduled for 9:30 p.m.

Michigan Jaii Has Cells It Rents Out

By Lisa Perlman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For rent: Fum rms, util, heat inc, meals limited vu.

Call your local jailer.

Prison officials around the nation who desperately need to reduce their overcrowded inmate populations are increasingly looking to send prisoners to local jails with rooms to rent.

In some cases, lockups with the space to spare have paid for more than half their budgets with the renting scheme. But in at least one jail, the arrangement backfired when inmates, angry about a move across the country, vandalized the cells.

StUl, the complaint from many jailers isnt the new inmates, but the number of telephone calls from prospective renters.

I turn people down almost every day, said Lt. James Ross, who runs the Allegan County Jail in southwest Michigan. About half of the jails 174 beds are often rented to out-of-county convicts.

About 27,000 prisoners, or 10 percent of the inmates in the nations largest jails, are being held for other agencies, said Lawrence Greenfeld, director of corrections statistics for the U.S. Department of Justice. Most of the displaced inmates come from state prison systems, which pay a per diem to the county jail, Greenfeld said.

Jails with space often have contracts with the state and federal governments to hold inmates from overcrowded lockups.

One of the pressures to alleviate overcrowding comes from federal or local court capacity restrictions. In Michigan, for instance, a state law requires early release for inmates if a county jail is above capacity for 21 consecutive days.

Sheriffs throughout the state have recognized there is money to be made and are becoming conscious that they can make a profit by renting out, said Dale Davis, executive director of Uie Michigan Sheriffs Association.

In Clare County, Mich., other jurisdictions are charged $40 per day to house an inmate at the jail, said Sheriff Howard Haskin. He said about $25 or $30 of that is profit.

The lights and heat are on anyway, so all were really paying for is three meals a day, he said.

Allegan County expects to take in about $1.35 million in 1989 by leasing jail space to other counties. That will pay for about 70 percent of the jails anticipated budget expenditures for the year.

In Illinois, about a third of the Peoria County Jails 220 inmates are from other Illinois counties and federal agencies.

Charging $50 per day per inmate, the jail took in $718,000 last year in rent, or about half of the sheriffs departments annual revenue, said budget coordinator Carol Van Winkle. >

Until recently, the practice of transferring inmates from one county to another had been common in California.

That stopped when everyone became overcrowded, said Richard Rainey, vice president of the California Sheriffs Association.

Rainey said the severity of overcrowding has led to jail expansion and has forced counties to look closely at alternatives such as community service, parole and home monitoring programs.

But there are drawbacks to boarding inmates hundreds of miles from their homes and families.

If you place a pretrial person in a jail 200 or 300 miles away from home and from his attorney, hes buried in terms of his legal defense, said Ed Koren, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union National Prisons Project.

The loss of contact with family and friends also makes adjustment more difficult when the inmate is released, Koren said.

And occasionally, a sheriffs dream about raising revenue in an jail with empty cells can turn into a nightmare.

In December, the 509-bed Spokane County Jail in Washington signed a $1.1 million contract with the District of Columbias Department of Corrections to accept 50 of the citys inmates.

Since then, the inmates have set mattresses on fire and stuffed up toilets to protest their 2,600-mile transfer.

Its not going too well, Capt. Donald Manning said.

N.C. Says Prisons Need Overhaul

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH The passage of a $79.1 million emergency spending bill has removed the immediate threat of a federal takeover of the states prisons, but North Carolina still faces a long and expensive overhaul of Its prison system, state officials say.

Its another step on this long journey we have been on, said Correction Secretary Aaron Johnson. Its significant in that we have settled the largest class-action suit we have had against this department.

The bill was introduced and pushed ttu*ough the legislature to implement a proposed settlement in the federal lawsuit, which challenged 4

crowded conditions in 49 medium-and minimum-custody prisons.

All that remains is for U.S. District Judge Earl Britt to approve the proposed settlement of the case, known as Small vs. Martin. The judge has scheduled a hearing for early April.

Im awfully optimistic that this will get final approval from the court, said Lucien Skip Capone III, a special deputy attorney general who represented the state in the suit. If the judge doesnt approve it. Im sure it would be because he wants some minor modifications to it.

The settlement requires the state to provide 50 square feet of living area for each inmate in the 49 prisons by July 1994.

U.S. Bishops Appeal For Openness In Church

By William D. Montaibano

LAX -WP NEWS SERVICE

VATICAN CITY - In an outspoken appeal for Vatican understanding, American bishops warned Pope John Paul II on Wednesday that an authoritarian church alienates U.S. Catholics who consider that the divine right of bishops is as outmoded as the divine right of kings.

An extraordinary four-day meeting between 36 American prelates and the pope to discuss the changing role of bishops in the United States opened with powerful statements from two U.S. delegates dudlenging the Vatican to tetter cteaprehend the American church as an integral part of a uniquely pluralistic society.

/As U.S. bishops, we value highly

the founding principles of our country and its democratic traditions, Chicago Cardinal Joseph Bemardin, co-moderator of the meeting, told a press conference. 1 do not see these freedoms or their exercise as being in conflict with our faithfulness to the universal. Catholic tradition that is ours.

Bemardins remarks and a subsequent address by Archbishop John L. May, president of the U.S. National Bishops Conference, signaled the reluctance of American prelates to quietly accept dictates from the Vatican. The meeting was advertised by both sides as non-confronta-tional, but there were clear differences of opinion Wednesday.

Today I think the Vatican understands how the Polish government must feel when Lech Walesa preaches solidarity,

observed a theologian close to the Vatican.

Behind the scenes, there was scuffling over how much of the pro-cee^ngs should be made public. The Americans argued for public release of remarks that individual U.S. bishops have prepared for 10 give-and-take sessions with the pope attending. A cardinal from the Curia, the Vaticans administrative arm, is also to address each session, but the Vatican had planned for its spokesman to summarize the sessions for reporters without publicizing either American or Vatican texts. Whether the remarks will be officially forthcoming as the meeting processes was unresolved Wednesday night.

The question of how much to say publicly is a good example of the clash of cultures that is the context for the meeting; American openness

versus Vatican reticence, said an American priest who has lived in Rome for a long time.

On a rainy spring afternoon, the x>pe welcomed the Americans in a )rief address calling for a truly open exchange which aims to strengthen our partnership in the Gospel. Speaking in English, John Paul praised the bishops pastoral zeal and urged them to be steadfast in bringing the Gospel message to a world that does not often readily accept it.

Then, with the pope listening, came a bellwether opening session entitled The Bishop as Teacher of the Faith, with prepared remarks by Curia Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and New Yorks Cardinal John OConnor. No Vatican accimnt of the session was to be issued before Thursday afternoon.

The atmosphere was very good.

There were no criticisms; it was not an us and them kind of thing, an American participant said on Wednesday ni^t after the first session ended. He asked not to be identified directly.

The conference aims to reduce tensions between an independent-minded American church and a traditionalist Vatican headed by a strong, obedience-demanding pope. Many American practices, ranging from accepting homosexuals as-> practicing Catholics to public confessions and a tacit acceptance of birth control, irritate Vatican conservatives.

Although relations have improved as a result of the popes 1987 visit to the United States and subsequent visits here by American bishops, there remain cimceptual differences.

Archbishop May, in the opening session, stressed the size and vigor

of the 53 million member American Catholic church and the diversity (rf the nation in which it labors. American bishops have limg sought to p^-suade the Vatican that Catholic evangelization in the United States must take into account the countrys particular cultural cimtext.

The Vatican has proved unyielding. Said a Vatican loyalist Wednesday after reading the omening speeches: In the context of the universal Church, the Americans are a small cultural minority. That kind of talk wUl not get a sympathic hearing here. It sounds outrageously naive to Italians and other Euro-peaiK used to more guarded ways.-

In his address, Bemardin stressed the openness in which the American Church operates. We proclaim the Gospel in a communica-tions-oriented society in a world that has become ever smaller. Because of the freedom of speech and the

WASHINGTON - The sweUing number of homicides in the District of Columbia has climbed to 101, nearly doubling the number of killings in the city at the same time last year aiul almost tripling the number of slayings two years ago.

City officials, who have not been able to make a dent in Uie escalating drug-related crime, reiterated their call for community help Wednesday at a television forum on the homicide rate.

We have arrested 46,000 people in Operation Clean Sweep, D.C. Police Chief Maurice T. Turner Jr. said on the television forum. We have redeployed police for high visibility. But we need to encourage citizens to tell us about crimes.

The forum, sponsored by Americas Black Forum and called Murder Capital, USA, once again illustrated how the national media are increasingly focusing on the District as the nations murder capital. Thursday night, the CBS news show 48 Hours is devoted to the citys devastating drug-related violence.

If murder in the District keeps pace with the rise in such deaths during the past two years, there could be more than 500 homicides in die city by years end. Compared with 372 in 1988.

Turner told a group at the Na-

tiondl Press Club earlier Wednesday that medical researchers should develop an inoculation to prevent a person from getting a euphoria from using drugs. He said that might help youths avoid getting involved in the narcotics trade, which is responsible for fueling the citys record homicide rate.

freedom of press inherent in our society, and because of the importance accorded to the church within the U.S. by our fellow Americans, discussions that at one time might have been considered intramural have significant repercussions throughout the world. We woik out our destiny in full view of the public's eye.

WASHINGTON - President Bush, tna private conversation with Japanese Prime Minister Noburo ftkeshita during his visit to Japan, ({Hressed irritation with a French (Ban to host another international Oyvironmental conference this weekend, according to administrasen sources.

;:^ush, who in last years campaign promised to convene his own con^ {mnce in Washington on global environmental issues, told Takeshita Qiat the French conference, which Dugins this Saturday, is premature. Bush complained that ike United States was not invited to ticipate, the sources said. Bush not set a date for his proposed conference.

"The new gathering comes on the fiwels of a three-day, 123-nation Sleeting in London on the ozone Qtyer of the atmosphere that ended i^th differences among the partici-mnts on the pace of measures to ^iminate chemicals called , dlQorofluorocarbons that threaten to (testroy the ozone. Bush sent Environmental Protection Agency administrator William K. Reilly to the meeting with a pledge to join other nations in phasing out the chemicals by he year 2000.

Bush talked with Takeshita about fldobal environmental issues during flteir meeting in Tokyo before the fU&eral of Emperor Hirohito. In particular, Bush wanted to know whether Japan was financing a controversial road in the Amazon that enviommentalists say has led to destruction in the rain forest. Japan has denied financing the road.

Bush also raised the issue of the rain forest with Brazilian President Jose Sarney in a separate meeting in Tokyo, which touched off a sharp response, according to one official. Samey voiced the suspicion that international concern over the Amazon could be a threat to Brazils sovereignty.

There has been a surge of interest in global environmental issues in recent months among leaders of the Western industrial democracies as well as in the Soviet Union. Soviet leader Mikhail (Jorbachev mentioned it prominently in his recent address to the United Nations.

An administration official familiar with Bushs view said he expressed general skepticism in private about the French meeting, to be held at the seat of the international court of justice at The Hague. In response, he said, Takeshita volunteered to host his own international conference and invite the United States.

French Prime Minister Michel Rocard has been organizing his conference jointly with Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers of the Netherlands and Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland of Norway. Ozone depletion and global warming were listed as primary topics on the agenda announced Feb. 24.

An official in the Netherlands Embassy said the conference will focus more on the problems of politics in environmental protection as opposed to the environmental hazards themselves. The official, who asked not to be identified, said the conference would be focused on decision-making issues in various nations and how participants can be required to live up to agreements on reducing pollutants.

Homeless Paraplegic Loses Wheelchair To Thieves, Disappears As Help Forms

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The plight of a homeless paraplegic whose wheelchair was stolen as he slept in a parking lot unleashed an outpouring of public sympathy, but the man disappeared before he could accept any offers of help.

Details about^ George Donovans life and his misfortune were n(^ all that clear, but people who tried to help him said ie theft was t^ical: a snapshot of misery on Skid Row.

George is a victim of the victims, said Ray McCann, communications director at the Union Rescue Mission where Donovan found shelter briefly.

Police agreed Donovan, who claimed to be a veteran, was the victim of Skid Row thieves. And although people who have heard about the theft wanted to help, there was no one to refer them to, said Lt. Fred Nixon, a police spokesman.

The incident began Tuesday

evening when Donovan, 47, awakened in a parking lot and found his wheelchair was gone, said Officer Joe Mariani, another police spokesman.

Police said they found Donovan propped up against a wall in an alley near the downtown Greyhound Bus Station.

Before taking him to the Uhion Rescue Mission, police tried to find him shelter for three hours, calling the Veterans Administration, the county social services department and even a detoxification center, although he hadnt been drinking, McCann said. They wouldnt take Donovan because he wasnt sick or injured, wasnt ambulatory or because they didnt have room.

Its just dreadful, said Blanche Carey, 61, of Lomita after she heard a radio account of Donovans plight. She offered to donate electric and manual wheelchairs she can no longer use. >

We dont have a lot of money. But here is one man who has become crippled for his country and apparently there is no one who cares, who is doing anything, she said.

Weve got a real outpouring of people who want to help, said Carl Fielstra, ministry director at the Union Rescue Mission. Following the news reports about Donovan, the 98-year-old downtown mission received calls all day offering, help and donations, he said.

But Donovans whereabouts were unknown. He was in a friends care when he left a hospital early Wednesday and was not considered missing, said police Cmdr. George Morrison.

Hes not a police problem, except to the extent that we were trying to help him, Morrison said.

Althou:

reports

:h there were some t Donovan had been

roughed up by the thieves, the police report stated only that the chair was stolen as he slept. Fielstra said Donovan told him he had been attacked.

Regardless the bonafides of the story, hes crippled, on the street, Fielstra saicL Well take him.

At the mission, Donovan had complained of pain in the stomach and groin and was taken by ambulance to County-USC Medical Center late Tuesday, McCann said.

At the hospital, he complained of pain in his left leg and side. But after about four hours, Donovan left with a friend and said they were going to the VA, said hospital spokeswoman Adelaida EeLaCerda.

Donovan never showed up at a VA hospital, however, said Larry Caird, spokesman for the agencys western region.

Sullivan Endorses Clean-Needle Drive

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - The Bush administrations top official in the fight against AIDS says the federal government will help communities that want to give clean needles to drug addicts to slow the spread of the deadly disease.

Louis Sullivan, health and human services secretary, says programs that provide clean neeidles to drug addicts deserve consideration by local communities, but controversy over the idea will limit federal involvement until there is evidence that such programs work.

While I dont subscribe to the view that it condones drug abuse, there are other people in society who do, so the issue here is to try to work through this problem, Sullivan said Wednesday in an interview.

Sullivan said he would need to look very carefully at whether the federal government should pay for vuu>

needle-exchange programs, but that spreading rapidly among drug ad-

New York City, where more than halif of the citys 200,000 heroin addicts are believed to be infected with the AIDS virus, is the only U.S. city with a government-sponsored needle-exchange program. Private efforts are under way or being planned in several other cities, following the lead of several European cities which say their programs have succeeded in slowing the spread of AIDS without increasing dnig abuse.

But the New York program has run into strong opposition from black and Hispanic leaders who say giving needles to addicts continues their dependence on drugs. Those opponents say efforts should be focused on treatment of drug abuse.

Officials say the infection rate for acquired immune deficiency syndrome has been slowing in the gay community because of increased awareness and use of safe sex practices. But they say the virus is

Lobbyists To Host Meeting For Democrats

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

;%ASHINGTON - Thirteen Democratic senators and 38 of their House colleagues are scheduled to board a nOvate train Thursday night for ^delphia and the annual con-erence of the Democratic Leadersh-Council. They will be accom-phied by nearly 100 lobbyists pay-mg $2,500 to $25,000 each to under-ymrite the event.

DLC doesnt have to report its donors and can take contributions larger than those allowed for political candidates and committees. But From provided a list of the sponsors fw this conference. It showed three corporate hosts who paid $25,000 - the food and tobacco conglomerates RJR Nabisco and Philip Morris, and SmithKline Beckman, a pharmaceutical firm.

Another 25 businesses, trade associations and individuals signed up to be $10,000 sponsors, and 27 are listed as $5,000 patrons. In Addition, more than 40 friends of the DLC are paying $2,500 each.

From said the conference will cost about $150,000. Members of Confess are being asked to pay for their hotel rooms, about $85 a night. Media representatives will pay $350, including hotel, train ride and all meals.

The DLC was formed in 1985 by ^uUiem conservatives, including Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia and Sen. Charles S. Robb, thengovernor of Virginia. Its mission has been described as trying to move the Democratic Party away from inter-q^.group politics and into the nminstream.

iS^ajor Water Main Breaks

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORADELL, N.J. A water mam Imak cut off water to several million people in northern New Jersey ti^ morning, forcing officials to close schools and seek help from the National Guard.

The break in the 52-inch main occurred at 5 a.m. between the two tnain plants of the Hackensack Water Co., according to company spokeswoman Martha Green.

Lawmaker Blasts States Handling Of Medicare Fees

Wright Ethics Probe Is Centering On Book Sales, Use Of Texas Home

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON Most states ignore a federal law requiring them to pay Medicare insurance premiums and other medical expenses for the poor, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif charged Wednesday.

People with incomes of $423 a month or less should be exempt from paying the $31.90 a month charged for Medicare Part B, the insurance that helps pay doctor bills. This charge is deducted monthly by the federal government from Social purity checks of more than 30 million Medicare beneficiaries.

Under the new law, which took effect Jan. 1, states were to pay the Part B premium, plus other expenses for those whose income falls below 85 percent of the federal definition of poverty, which is $5,980 a year for an individual. The law, thus, applies to those with annual incomes of $5,083 or $423.59 a month.

But many state governments ignore the law or delay its implementation.

Waxman said the Health Care Financing Administration, which runs Medicare, did not send guidelines to

states until December. And federal officials refused a request by some members of Congress to notify the public by including information with Social Security checks.

As many as 2 million persons over age 65 may be eligible for the benefit, included in the catastrophic care legislation, a Medicare benefits expansion approved by Congress last year.

Poor people of all ages are helped with medical bills under the federal Medicaid program. The new benefit is designed to help people who have too much income to qualify for Medicaid, but still live in poverty.

Besides paying the monthly Medicare premium, the new benefit covers the first day of hospital charges and the part of doctor bills not covered by Medicare. In effect, low-income beneficiaries get complete free coverage for all hospital and doctor bills.

Waxman said only 11 states had implemented the new benefit in January, when it was to begin. Another 18 states are to begin the benefit this month but it is unclear how many will make vigorous efforts to notify the potentially eligible.

By Tom Ken worthy

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The special counsel hired to conduct the House ethics committees investigation of Speaker Jim Wright, D-Texas, has focused particular attention on wheth" bulk sales of a book written by the speaker was an attempt to circumvent House limits on outside income, sources said Wednesday.

The marketing arrangements for Wrights book, Reflections of a Public Man," and Wrights use of a Fort Worth condominium owned by the family of a business associate have emerged as the potentially most problematic areas for Wright as the nine-month investigation nears conclusion, the sources said.

However, Wrights attorney, William Oldaker, has mounted an aggressive defense in those greas, contending that neither incident constitutes a violation of House rules. The final decision on whether any rules were broken rests with the 12-member committee, which has the task of interpreting the evidence presented by the outside counsel, Chicago attorney Richard Phelan.

Wrights spokesman, Mark Johnson, said Wednesday it would

be inappropriate to comment on the investigation until it has concluded.

Oldaker has spent the past two days outlining his case to the committee, which is expected within the next two weeks to determine' whether there is cause to believe that Wright violated House rules.

A key issue in that determination will be how the committee interprets the sales of Wrights book. The book was published by a longtime associate and frequently sold in bulk quantities to lobbyists, friends of the speakers and interest groups. Wright received more than $55,000 in royalties from those sales, at a rate of 55 percent of the sales price of $5.95.

The committee has heard testimony from some individuals, according to the sources, that they were encouraged by members of Wrights staff to buy the book in quantity in lieu of giving Wright speech fees. Other witnesses who bought the book in bulk have testified that Wrights office made no such approach.

Last June, an official of the New England Life Insurance Co. told The Washington Post that his firm bought $2,000 worth of the book rather than pay Wright an honoraria, at the suggestion of the companys Washington lobbyist.

North Trial Witness Says Reagan Personally Thanked Contra Donors

THE ASSOCIATED PRES

WASHINGTON - President Reagan made a dramatic appearance at a White House meeting to thank 25 wealthy contributors who gave money to what was later declared an illegal fund-raising operation for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, a witness in Oliver Norths trial says.

Carl Spitz" Channell testified Wednesday about the meeting and Norths role in the fund-raising operation.

Channell pleaded guilty in 1987 to conspiring to defraud the Treasury by using a tax-exempt foundation for a non-exempt purpose raising money for Contra military activities. One of the counts against North, who helped direct the Reagan administrations secret Contra assistance efforts, is that he participated in the tax conspiracy.

North also is accused of lying to Congress and the attorney general about the activities, which occurred during a period in which Congress had banned U.S. aid to the rebels.

More than $10 million was raised for the Contras from private donors through Channells tax-exempt National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty.

Channell said that during the White House meeting with Reagan, one donor, C. Thomas Clagett, pointed to pictures of former Presidents Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt and said, Mr. President, why dont you act like those people and do something?"

Tom, Reagan replied, I am doing the best I can. Its very tough, Channell recalled.

One contributor from a prominent Austin, Texas, family, Ellen Garwood, gave arouhd $2.5 million or maybe a little more, said Channell.

Ms. Garwood made the contributions after Col. North began to talk to her and other donors about the terminal crisis of the Contras, said Channell.

The White House aide told Ms. Garwood that the Contras were about finished and unless money was raised we were going to lose the whole five-year effort of supporting democracy in Central America, Channell said.

Channell also chartred a plane for North to fly to Dallas and meet with prospective contributor Nelson Bunker Hunt, a wealthy Texas businessman.

The meeting was on Sept. 11,1985, midway through a two-year span in which Congress had banned U.S. military aid to the Contras. After dinner at the Petroleum Club, Hunt, according to Channell, asked North if he was worried about getting in trouble for his activities.

I dont care if I have to go to jail for this, I dont care if I have to lie to Congress about this, North said, to which Hunt just chortled, Channell recalled.

Hunt made two contributions of $237,500 each, one of them a loan, but after another solicitation in 1986 and even after meeting with the president, he declined to give more, the witness said.

Channell said he told North, I am sorry; I have failed miserably. North said it was alright, according to Channell.

NEPL originally had been set up to educate the public about American political and social institutions.

I was aware we had varied from our mandate in 1985 and 1986 by raising private Contra aid, said Channell.

That same month, Wright told The Post that neither he nor his staff promoted sales of the book, saying, We were not engaged in selling books.

Under House rules, Wright may keep no more than 30 percent of his official salary in speech fees or honoraria, and a key question facing the committee is whether the marketing of the book was a way of getting around the 30 percent limit. House rules exempt book royalties from the limit.

Sources also said that Phelan is also zeroing in on Wrights use of a Fort Worth condominium owned by' the family of a business associate, George Mallick, as well as his wifes use of a luxury automobile owned by a business venture formed by Wright and Mallick and their wives.

The Wrights received rent-free use of the condo from 1981 to 1984 during the period when Betty Wright was

Feminist Says Women Cost More

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON A feminist who works to advance car^r opportunities for women caused a stir by writing in the Harvard Business Review that female managers cost corporations more than male ones do.

Felice N. Schwartz also urged employers to recognize two kinds of woman managers: those who put their careers first and those who want to balance career and children.

The cost of employing women in management is greater than the cost of employing men, Ms. Schwartz wrote in the reviews January-February issue in her article, Management Women and the New Facts of Life.

This is a jarring statement, partly because it is true, but mostly because it is something people are reluctant to talk about, she wrote.

Published by Harvard Business School, the review has 210,000 subscribers, about 95 percent of them in business. Since the issue was published, furious debate has ensued, said managing editor Alan Webber.

employed by the business venture, Mallightco. After she left the payroll, the Wrights rented the unit at a rate of $21.67 a day when they used it. Wright bought the condo last year.

Sources said that the speakers defense to charges that use of the ^ car and condo was improper is that they were part of his wifes compensation from the business. In addition, House rules that limit the receipt of gifts by members include an exemption that allows lawmakers to receive the personal hospitality of an individual.

Pentagon, Educators Balk At Service-Linked Loans

By George C. Wilson

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

, WASHINGTON Legislation that would require ' young men and women to join the military or perform community service to qualify for federal college loans 'and grants is beginning to draw heavy fire from the -^Pentagon and educational organizations.

' By establishing lucrative alternatives for civilian service or shorter enlistments, said Grant S. Green, 'Pentagon manpower chief, national-service legislation -.now before Congress would reduce recruit quality, in-:crease training costs and adversely affect the produc-" tivity of military personnel. He added that minority participation in the force would probably increase.

Greens attack during a recent hearing by the House Armed Services personnel subcommittee was the administrations strongest statement to date against national-service legislation sponsored by Chairman Sam Nunn, D-Ga., of the Senate Armed Services Committee and Rep. Dave McCurdy, D-Okla.

One of the lucrative alternatives in their bill would enable young men apd women who joined the miltary for two years to receive $24,000 for college, vocational training or to buy a house. Another would give young people $10,000 for one year of community service performed for $100 a week.

The money would come from the federal governments $10 billion fund now used to give loans and grants for college to qualified students. Eventually, under Nunn-McCurdy, this fund would be largely reserved for those who volunteered for military or civic service.

Officials of the American Council on Education, representing 1,500 colleges and universities, Wednesday opposed the plan. The council contends it would cost the federal government $50 billion to maintain the current

flow of students receiving federal aid if they first had to serve in the military or the community.

Backers of federal service legislation contend it would restore a sense of obligation to the nation among young people for such direct benefits received as federal loans and grants for college. Also, they predict, exposure to military life might inspire a wider cross-section of young people to remain in uniform, serving the interests of the armed services.

Rep. G.V. Sonny Montgomery, D-Miss., a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Wednesday said he opposed national-service legislation because it would draw high-quality people away from the military by paying them for doing community work at home.

He contended the nation needs technically trained soldiers, not ones who will be in uniform for only two years. The Nunn-McCurdy bill would force the services to take two-year enlistees whether or not they wanted to, he asserted.

Wed have to set up another army for all the two-year volunteers, Montgomery said. He predicted the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps also would be forced to accept a portion of the two-year enlistees whether or not they could use them productively.

President Bush endorsed the principle of national service during his presidential campaign. Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell, D-Maine, and House Speaker James C. Wright Jr., D-Texas, have also endorsed the principle.

Young men and women who serve in the military for three years are currently eligible for the GI bill, which gives them $10,800 at the end of their tour, including $1,200 of their own contributions. We cant compete = with $24,000 for two years service or $10,000 for staying home, Montgomery said.

Senate Committee Approves I Increase In Minimum Wage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

, WASHINGTON - The Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee approved legislation Wednesday to gradually raise the minimum wage $1.30 an hour to $4.65 after rejecting a Bush administration plan for a smaller increase coupled with a reduced training wage.

President Bush has said he would veto legislation raising the minimum above $4.25 an hour and told GOP leaders Wednesday that, in the words of press secretapr Marlin Fitzwater, his proposal is fair and firm and his last offer.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the labor committee chairman, said he

|FAA Wants Planes Exit Rows Clear

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Handicapped people or others who could impede escape from an airliner would not be allowed to sit in rows next to emergency exit doors under a rule proposed Wednesday by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Air Transportation Association, which represents airlines, said the rule is needed to provide uniform procedures. But Mark Maurer, president of the National Federation of the Blind, said, This proposal is both silly and discriminatory, and well resist it.

Maurer, a former attorney with the now defunct Civil Aeronautics Board, said in some situations a smoke-filled or darkened aircraft, for example a blind person might be the b^t one to have at the exit door because he or she would be accustomed to the dark.

Spokeswoman Leslie Roland of the airline association said rules now vary among companies.

Don McGuire, spokesman for Braniff Airlines, said handicapped people on Braniff flights are asked not to sit in seats by exit doors but are allowed to if they insist. American Airlines spokesman Jim Brown said the carrier bars exit door seating to women close to giving birth, handicapped persons or children.

The FAA rulemaking notice said Lhandicapped people often argue that Sthe airlines have no right to refuse ^em seats by an exit.

I In fact, a bill is pending in Con- gress that would guarantee a blind !r persons right to sit in any seat on an Airliner.

I> ft

! The proposed FAA rule is to be :published in the Federal Register on i^onday, one day before a Senate I committee hearing on the bill. The I [FAA rule would take effect after a I '90-day period for public comment *, unless the agency sees reason to I change it, said FAA spokesman I John Leyden.

was hopeful we can reach a compromise that is fairer to the working poor and that President Bush will sign.

Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the full Senate could consider the measure next week. Were all set to go to the floor right away, he said. I think well have strong support.

The minimum wage, now $3.35 an hour, has not been raised in eight years.

Kennedy said he is glad to listen to Republican calls for a subminimum wage, but only if it is coupled with specific requirements for training and education.

Kennedy predicted a veto would be overridden.

Were going to get this legislation achieved, he said. If its the judgment that (Bush will) veto it, well override it, Kennedy told reporters after the meeting.

The committee approved the $1.30 increase on an 11-5 vote, with Republican Sens. David Durenberger of Minnesota and James Jeffords of Vermont voting with the panels nine Democrats. The approval came after Democrats, joined by Durenberger, rejected the White House proposal to raise the hourly minimum 30 cents each year for three years, to $4.25.

The House subcommittee on labor standards has scheduled a Thursday meeting to draft legislation similar to Kennedys bill. Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calif., chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, plans to have the full panel consider the $4.65 an hour minimum wage, which he has said he strongly supports.

Bushs proposal, long opposed by Democrats and organized labor, would establish a training wage of $3.35 an hour, the current minimum for all workers, and allow employers' to pay newly hired workers at that

rate for their first six months on the job.

While opposition to the sub-miminum wage has softened, Kennedy said Wednesday that such a category would have to be sharply limited from what the administration wants.

Im not going to see the corruption of the minimum wage by using the words training wage to throw older workers out of work and displace those who want to work 40 hours a week, Kennedy said.

Im open to listening, to having the educational components outlined, he added. There was nothing in the administration proposal that had an educational component.

He said such a plan would also have to be limited to first-time workers and be for a shorter duration than six months.

Kennedy, while noting the administrations threatened veto, agreed that Bushs call for an increase in the minimum wage had boosted chances that some increase will soon be approved.

This administration has been more forthcoming than the previous eight years, the senator said.

The committee approved three amendments to the biU Kennedy introduced.

The first mirrors a provision in the White House plan to raise the level at which small businesses are exempted from minimum wage provisions from gross annual sales of $362,000 to $500,000.

Another proposal, also supported by Bush, would raise from 40 percent to 50 percent the so-called tip credit. Employers are allowed to count a certain percentage of tips toward the reported salaries of workers covered by the minimum wage.

The committee also accepted a proposal to extend federal minimum wage standards to Puerto Rico.

Riverboat Gamblers Of Old Often Were Cheats, But Were Tolerated

The .Associated Press

Patrons surround Jodi Clark at Miami hot dog stand

By Roger Munns

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa Luck might have been the lady Bret Maverick loved best, but most 19th-century riverboat gamblers were cheats.

Still, they were tolerated on the Mississippi River despite laws to the contrary and they didnt disappear until the boats did, forced info idleness by railroads. The gamblers would come back under bills in the Iowa Legislature.

Maverick, the dandy played by James Garner in the TV series of the same name, lived on jacks and queens. The professionals on the Mississippi River 130 years ago lived on shaved decks and skullduggery.

There were laws and rules against gambling, but boat owners winked at the games and lawmen werent called in unless gambling graduated to gunplay.

Gambling wasnt a very big thing on the upper river, said historian Burton Prugh, 76, a licensed river pilot. Boats above St. Louis hauled pioneers and miners, not the wealthy plantation owners whom gamblers loved to fleece.

The Iowa Senate voted narrowly last week and last year against a bill that would allow low-stakes casino gambling on boats, with location and number to be determined by a commission. Lawmakers ex

pect to vote on it again this month.

Supporters tout economic development while opponents fear the issue would sully the states reputation and open the door to organized crime.

The House of Representatives two years ago approved riverboat gambling, and Speaker Don Avenson said it would do so again if the Senate OKs the bill.

Gambling has long been officially discouraged in Iowa. In 1843, its first territorial governor, Robert Lucas, chose Christmas to sign legislation banning gambling which, together with intemperance, he thought was the root of evil.

The Iowa Constitution of 1857 forbade lotteries, which was interpreted to be gambling of all sorts. The lotteries ban had to be repealed (in 1972) before Iowa could get into pari-mutuel betting and lotteries.

But the gamblers, outlawed or not, worked.the crowds on the boats.

Gambling on Western rivers in olden times was a general custom and only in latter years forbidden by the rules of the boat. Signs were tacked up saying games for money strictly forbidden, which had some little effect inHhe North but in the South, a notice of this kind was one thing and human nature entirely a different thing, rendering the rules of the boat null and void, wrote John Habermehl, in Life on Western Rivers published in 1901.

As late as the year 1955, one might have seen from four to six gambling tables stretched out in the main cabin in fidi blast for money. Boat owners were eager to look the other way because many of the gamblers were their best patrons, taking expensive staterooms and tipping generously, he said, adding that the owners and the gamblers frequently were partners.

George Byron Merrick, who wrote Old Times on the Upper Mississippi, Recollections of a Steamboat Pilot 1854-63 published in 1909, didnt mind gamblers, even though they cheated and separated fools from their money.

I cannot rcollect that I had a conscience in those days, and if a sucker chose to invest his money in draw poker ... it was none of my business.

In fact, there is little evidence anyone got too upset about the gaming. A few gamblers were left on sandbars for cheating and some were hanged, according to Louis Hunters Steamboats on Western Rivers, published in 1949.

In Forty Years a Gambler on the Mississippi, published in 1892, George'Devol wrote that he took many a sucker and had to dodge victims now and then, but he apparently was never in much troub e with the law.

The early journals and histories dont mention any campaigns to stop

Customers Respond To Bikini-Clad Hot Dog Vendors

By John Platero

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI Hot dog vendors hoping to attract business have decided first to "attract attention to themselves. And some customers are responding with relish.

Jodi Clark and Cindy C.J. Jones, both clad in skimpy bikinis, are examples of a new trend among vendors operating portable hot dog stands along South Florida roadways.

What man in his right mind wouldnt stop and buy a hot dog from a girl dressed in a bikini? asked Miss Clark, a 21-year-old former aerobics instructor.

A steady stream of customers, mostly male, keeps her busy preparing hot dogs with.their choice of kraut, mustard, relish, raw, cooked onion or hot sauce.

An array of cars, trucks and an occasional police car parked helter-skelter around the stand left only its colorful large umbrella visible from the road.

Very often man will stop and have a hot dog when he didnt plan to, admits Ms. Jones, a 35-year-old Indianapolis transplant.

Sometimes they stay and have two or three, she said with a smile.

Passing drivers honk their horns and yell greetings to the tanned Ms. Jones, easily spotted by her blonde hair and bright lime bathing suit.

The female vendors usually start at about 11 a.m. and work only through the lunch period into the afternoons, selling hot dogs, bottled soda and potato chips and pretzels.

Some earn an hourly wage, like Miss Clark, a native Floridian, or work on commission, as Ms. Jones does. Tips are' good and make up about half of their earnings. Most

operate on weekdays, and not when the weather is bad.

Moonstruck customers sometimes tip as much as the price of a hot dog $1.25 to $2.25. Tips are not always cash.

"I get a lot of flowers and stuffed animals, Ms. Jones said. I have two customers that drop by and chitchat. They dont buy anything, but they leave a tip and go.

Both say their male customers are pleasant, but flirt sometimes.

Yes, they ask for a date, but I dont go out with guys from my hot dog stand, said Miss Clark, wearing a golden-hued bikini one of six work uniforms she has.

I just tell them Im not ready for a relationship, is how Ms. Jones handles her admirers.

. David Obregon, who came from

Managua, Nicaragua, in 1982, owns four portable stands two operated by men and two operated by women, including Miss Clark.

The men sell as many hot dogs in a day as the women, but the women can do it with fewer customers, the 26-year-old Obregon says, adding that he prefers having female vendors.

Obregon says he doesnt look for

beauty or shapeliness when hiring a new vendor.

Im more interested in how they handle people so I look for those with a high school education or a liitle college, he said.

The women vendors definitely earn a loyal following.

Im in love, said a police sergeant to no one in particular as he left his squad car and approached Ms. Jones stand with a smile.

Applications

ELIZABETHTOWN, N.C. (AP) ^ . The town board of Elizabethtown will begin sifting through 43 applications from people who want to be the town manager, and officials say they are surprised at volume of interest in the job. i

Most applications are from North Carolina, followed by South Carolina and Virginia, ^id Jim Freeman, the administrator for nine years. There re also applications from Califor^ nia, Florida and Indiana.

the gamblers, or any particular outrage. Instead, gamblers just faded away, taking to the rails. The railroads supplanted the steamboats after the Civil War and by the turn of the century, steamboats were idled up and down the river.

The gaming went over to the trains, said John Schegan, executive vice president of Fried-Schegan Associates of San Diego, which wants to bring gambling back to the Mississippi in an enormous showboat with casinos.

Schools Object To Ad On News

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The creators of Channel One, the daily news show launched this week in six public schools, have agreed to pull an ad from the television program because Detroit school officials found it sexually suggestive.

The decision to pull the Levis jeans ad comes as the project begins a 25-show test amid complaints from some educators that it is inappropriate to allow television advertisements in classrooms.

The 30-second Levis ad, which has aired on commercial television, shows a montage of scenes with young people, including a boys choir, several youngsters dancing and a romantic couple walking away together.

Robin Oden, principal at Mumford High School in Detroit, said Wednesday that four of the eight people he asked to review the program before it was aired in classrooms Monday felt the Levis ad was sexually suggestive.

Oden said he decided to go ahead and run the program because it was the first ?lay of the test and a big media contingent was on hand to write about it.

But he said he told officials of Whittle Communications, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based media concern that developed Channel One, he wouldnt air the ad again.

Bill Gubbins, a Whittle official who was in Detroit that day, said he. assured Oden the ad would not be repeated. ^

The schools are asked to. show the program once each school day.

Strike Teachers Say They Will Accept Higher Tax Plan

have pension interests in the airline, would also have a say in the deal.

^ The strike began Saturday with a Walkout by 8,5(X) Machinists in a Espute over $125 million in proposed wage cuts and escalated with the support of pilots and flight attendants.

Icahn, the corporate takeover specialist and chairman < of Trans World Airlines, said Wednesday he tvould consider several requests Thade this week by the Machinists ^'concerning the acquisition by TWA of Eastern.

I would be willing to speak to the unions only if Eastern permits me to, because I do not want to be accused by Eastern of interfering with the collective bargaining process, he said in a statement.

Under Chapter 11, a company obtains a federal court order that frees it from the'threat of creditors lawsuits until it can develop a plan lo put its finances in order.

" However, LorenzO( chairman of Eastern parent Texas Air Corp., would have a tougher time imposing lower wages on the unions than he did when he reorganized Continental* Airlines under federal bankruptcy law in 1983. Congress amended federal laws in 1984 to require bankrupt Companies to negotiate with unions and prove economic necessity before abrogating their contracts.

The Machinists were allied with Ifcahn once before, when they helped Wm snatch control of TWA in 1985 despite Lorenzos competing bid. Icaim mulled a bid for Eastern last !ll, but talks faltered when he asked for up to $300 million in labor concessions in exchange for an equity stake.

' Lorenzo wanted the Machinists to Igive up $125 million in a new contract.

The money has got to come from somewhere.

Ruby Jackson, a teacher at D.H. Conley High School and president of the Pitt County NCAE, also said most teachers are willing to support tax for more money in their paychecks.

I think the teachers would be more than willing to pay that penny, she said.

Ms. Jackson said she would prefer

progressive tax established so as not to affect low-income citizens, but the sales tax probably is simpler.

I think teachers have said in general that if it meant that yoi. have to have a tax increase, then yes, she said. I dont mind paying a tax increase for teachers salaries but I do not want to pay a tax increase to implement the career ladder. I think the teachers have aid that the career ladder in its present form is not what they want, she said.

Land To Be Sold

medical waste, such needles, syringes and blood bags, and state investigators say Gray may be violating state regulations concerning the acceptance, storage and disposal of medical waste. State rules do not allow Gray to incinerate the material in his crematorium, and Reid said Gray was cited in December for improperly burning medical waste.

There will probably be adequate time to dispose of the waste before any new owner would want to use the land, Reid said.

The 46-acre lot adjoins a 105-acre site also owned by Gray Farms, and both parcels make up one of the two tracts that will be on the auction block March 23 at the Pitt County Courthouse. The Pitt County tax office lists the 1989 tax value for the two parcels at about $110,000.

Jerry Sawyer, an officer with the Federal Land Bank Association in Greenville, which is one of the creditors of Gray Farms, declined to state how much money the bank hopes to receive from the sale

Sawyer said he does not believe^ the purchaser of the land would be liable for the cleanup operations.

Farmers Home Administration is also a creditor in the bankruptcy, Ms. Bishop said.

Last year. Gray initially filed a Chapter 12, a farm reorganization.

but when no plan was submittd, a federal judge dismissed the bankruptcy. When Federal Land' Bank moved to foreclose on the land. Sawyer said Gray Farms filed the new Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

Federal Judge Thomas M. Moore appointed Wilson attorney Walter L. Hinson to serve as trustee.

A corporate officer of Gray Farms has filed a motion to stop the sale because he was not properly notified, Ms. Bishop said, and at a

hearing set for Tuesdav in Wilson a judge is scheduled to riile on the motion. She said she is confident that the officer did' receive proper notification of the sale.

Also on Tuesday, Gray is scheduled to appear before the state Board of Mortuary Science for a hearing concerning a possible violation of the boards regulations. The hearing stems from an incident in December in which Wake County deputies found six dead bodies Gray left in a van overnight instead of moving them inside.

In addition to the tract on rural paved road 1547, another Gray Farms Inc. tract of land on rural unpaved road 1547 is scheduled to be sold March 23.

Officials have not reported finding any medical waste stored on that site, but the land borders a parcel owned by Grays cousin in which medical waste is being stored in two tobacco barns. Gray leases the land from his relative.

Martin re-ennphasized the implementation of the career ladder jrogram, which is a merit-pay system for teachers that is currently being piloted in 16 school systems in the state. He said he would not support a tax increase if the Legislature abandons the program.

But, teachers in Pitt County say the program needs overhauling if its to be implemented statewide.

I still don't think that he fully understands the career ladder, Ms. Wooten said.

If its truly a merit pay program then it must be based on an adequate salary schedule, she said. The salary scale needs to be tackled first. 'The care ladder has so many flaws in it and no one has talked about fixing the flaws in it yet.

One of the basic flaws is that every single .eacher, regardless of experience, will be evaluated using the same instrument, Ms. Wooten said. The Teacher Performance Ap-iraisal Instrument or TPAI original-y was developed to evaluate beginning teachers, she said.

It does not have any place where you can evaluate the teachers on creativity and the extra things that they do, she said.

In addition, a fast-tracking system originally outlined in the program has been eliminated, Ms. Jackson said. Through fast-tracking, ^lifted teachers were able to go through the levels in the program without waiting periods.

Once the program was implemented statewide, it woidd take six years for other teachers in the state to catch up with teachers given the opportunity to advance in the pilot programs, she said.

Area legislators said they need time to digest Martins new pro-p<^l.

Were going to have to have money from somewhere to raise salaries, Sen. Bob Martin of Bethel said. Im not sure about the sales tax. Thats something that fell off the shelf in my lap. Ive got to have time to talk about it and see some people who can give me some ideas about it to help me make up my mind.

The basic (thing) right now is the needs are there. The question in our minds is how to meet the needs. We need to get further down in the budget process as far as Im concerned to see if the need can be met from other sources.

Walter B. Jones Jr. of Farmville

recognized the governors efforts to. find money for teachers salaries but said he wants to consider other op- tions bfore making a decision.

I commend Governor Martin for recognizing the need to raise state employees and teachers pay. However, I personally feel the sales tax is a regressive tax. It hits the low-income workers the hardest. I believe there are other funding options available and at the present time I will continue to stuty all options presented to the General Assembly in hopes that a more equitable solution may be found.

Efforts this morning to contact Sen. Tom Taft and Rep. Ed Warren, both of Greenville, were unsuccessful.

Wednesday storm hit in March 1%2.

Damage estimates are not yet available, but the damage is expected to reach into the millions of dollars, said Kitty Hawk town planner Dave Monroe.

George J. Spence, director of Dare County emergency management services, warned people in homes close to the ocean of overwash and heavy erosion during high tides Wednesday night and about 8:30 this morning. About 12 evacuees took refugee in a shelter at Kitty Hawk Elementary School.

At least four fatalities were blamed on ice-covered interstate highways in the eastern part of the state, and water washe(l over sec

tions of N.C. 12, the main route along the Outer Banks.

The storm produced waves of 15 and 20 feet and tides more than four feet above normal. The ferry operator at Cedar Island reported winds of 60 mph Wednesday morning.

Ron Jones at the National Weather Service office at Caj Hatteras said the storm was similar to the Ash Wednesday noreaster in that it continued to build while remaining largely stalled off the coast.

Because the storm is occurring at the time when tides are highest anyway because of the phases of the moon, ocean overwash was a certainty along beach roads, especiaUy N.C. 12, which runs adjacent in some places to the outermost dunes.

Set For Junior

Miss Program

By Constance Ward

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Saturday night holds the moment 20 Pitt County girls have been waiting for.

At 7:30 p.m., they will beging competition in the Pitt County Junior Miss Scholarship Program. But unlike other contests, no participant in this one will come away a loser.

In this pro^am, every participant will win a prize worth at least $100, and each as a chance for awards totaling $2,000.

The total amount of scholarships to be given is $8,000. Other prizes, such as saving bonds, push the total to over $10,000. The scholarships are being funded by various Pitt County businesses and individuals.

This years mistress of ceremonies is Carol-Ann Tucker, director of the Regional Training Center at East Carolina Univesity. She will be joined onstage by Elizabeth Courtney Jones, Pitt Countys Junior Miss for 1988-89 and others.

Pitt County began the Junior Miss program because of Marlene Far-rior who is this years chairman. Ms. Farrior says her daughter, Julie Farrior won the Lenoir County competition. When she moved to Pitt County, Mrs. Farrior brought the desire to see a program here.

Since Pitt Countys Junior Miss program began in 1986, it has been named Best New Program in North Carolina, Most Outstanding Program .in the state and was named one of the Top Five Outstanding Programs in the United States.

But all these honors dont come without sacrifice. Contestants must give up their Sunday afternoon activities to prepare. Many of the girls say they dont mind, however, because they will never forget the experience they get from the training.

A few girls took the time out from their Sunday practice to give their views on the program.

Brandy Scudder, a student at D.H. Conley High School, became involved with the program after her mother and a school guidance counselor urged her to try. She says she is excited about it and that its the best program for high school juniors to be involved in.

Miss Scudder says the competition ^for

will be tough, but shes ready for it.

For her talent, she will play Bachs My Heart Ever Faithful on the flute.

Miss Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Crawford of Farmville says she feels a little sad that it will all be over soon.

One girl who cant believe the special night is coming is Nikki Tucker of Ayden-Grifton High School. She says the reality of the event will probably hit her Saturday morning.

Miss Tucker, the daughter of L. Vermelle Tucker of Ayden, says preparing for the program has been hard. But after scheduling everything, she has had fun. She became involved after a former contestant presuaded her to try.

She will perform a dance/tap routine for talent, and says she wants to encourage other girls to get involved in the program. She says it is a fiin learning experience and will help girls grow as a person.

She wants to attend North Carolina State University or A&T University to become a chemist or a pediatrician.

Michelle Taylor of North Pitt High School decided to join after several of her friends placed in last years competition. She "says the program brings out the inner beauty in contestants this is not a beauty pageant at all.

Miss Taylor, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willie L. Taylor Sr. of Greenville says she is excited and ready for Saturday. The activities have been fun.

She wants to attend Duke University, later to become an obstetrician/gynecologist.

Old Stoves Find A New Home In Schoolhouse

By Charles Hillinger

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

PALOMA, Calif. - The old schoolhouse in this Calaveras County hamlet, about 70 miles southeast of Sacramento, has not had any students in 25 years, but it is home to a former maU carrier and nearly 100

of his potbellied friends. RicMrd

Lenfestey, 53, has filled the two-room Paloma school with tum-of-the-century cast iron stoves. The Paloma school had been va

cant nine vears, a victim of the elements and vandals, when Lenfestey

bought it in 1972 for $5,250 from the local school district. Then he and his stoves moved in.

We had a roughhouse crowd around here then. Every door and every desk was removed from the school. The schools tin roof was dangling in the air from the structures sad state of disrepair, Lenfestey said.

Lenfestey bought his first cast iron heating stove in 1%6 from a local rancher for $30. Made in 1857, it is a prized possession.

Turn-of-the-century cast iron stoves have become a full-time pastime for Lenfestey. The Patoma schoolhouse is the home and headquarters of his Paloma Stove Works. He buys and sells rare potbellied and cook stoves.

Every year I travel America looking for stoves, finding m(t of them in the Midwest. They are becoming harder and harder to-locate. In the past I would.drive 6,000 to 8,000 miles looking for stoves and come home with as many as 50 in a big truck and trailer, Lenfestey said. On my last trip I returned with only 15.

He has a boneyard with thousands of rusted, dirty and ^me-encrusted grates, dampers, rings, ash pans, door handles, oven racks and other stove parts. He sells old stoves for as little as $150 and as much as $2,500. Most are ornate with nickel crowns and elaborate scrollwork. Lenfestey is a throwback. He drives a 1931 Model A coupe. I found the

old Tin Lizzie rusting away on a Lodi (Calif.) farm. I saved it from

melting into the ground, he said.

He grew up in Stockton, Calif., about 35 miles southwest of Paloma, and delivered mail there for 16

years.

I would have preferred to have been a fireman on steam engine trains but I came along too late. Steam engines were phased out and replaced by diesels, he said.

I have always been fascinated by boilers. So, since I couldnt be a railroad fireman, I began collecting potbellied and cast iron cook stoves.

Lenfesteys sidekick, Lonnie McCraney, 37, lives in Paloma, population less than 100, with his wife and two children. McCraney repairs and restores the old stoves in a shop behind the schoolhouse.

Lenfestey wears a black T-shirt bearing the words ROUND OAK CHIEF ; McCraney wears a similar T-shirt inscribed with ROUND OAK MEDICINE MAN. Most of their stoves are Round Oak, made in Dowagiac, Mich., the furnace capi

tal of America at the turn of the century.

At the time, the P.D. Beckwith Round Oak Stove Co. was the largest potbellied stove manufacturer in the United States. In 1900, its popular four-hole cook stove sold for $27; the most expensive heating stove sold for $36.

Paloma is an old gold mining town. Gold was first discovered here

in the gold boom, three hotels, two churches, livery stables, stores, several saloons and even a horse racing track.

Now, among a handful of scattered homes, the only relic of the gold mining days is the schoolhouse, home of the Paloma Stove Works.Paperboys Becoming A Thing Of The Past

It was a story at the top of the >age of our newspaper, and it should lave been. The paper routes of the morning newspapers in many large American cities will no longer be delivered by kids, but by adults in cars.

Get outta here! Tell me Barbie bleaches her ^nytail. Tell me Dick Clark has a picture aging in his attic. But dont tell me that a tradition as old as the word is going down the tubes.

I was a paperboys mother for more years than I care to remember. Its on my resume. For years I listed it on my drivers license under occupation. It tells

you a lot about a person. (Your capacity for guilt and endurance for pain, to mention two.) I used to mention our route at parties and immediately be surrounded by admirers.

The job, however, was more than just status for my son. Forget the fact that for a period of five or six years he was the only person we knew with a savings account and could have bought and sold his entire family. More important, those were the years he was introduced to that great American threat that parents use to scare their kids half to death: the dreaded real world.

It was his first encounter with re-

He found out rather quickly that working on Sundays could give you a hernia.

sponsibility, lousy hours and deadbeats. And he learned. He learned that birds that soar with The Tonight Show do not sprout wings at 4:30 the next morning.

He learned that people who live in $225,000 houses do not have a cash flow of $1.50 for their newspaper.

He learned that you cannot plan pur retirement around a broken bicycle chain, and that a boy with a morning paper route has no friends

But the most important thing he discovered was that even though he represented nothing more than a thud to those still asleep in the morning, he was right up there in importance with the editors and writers of the paper he was carrying.

He balanced on his bike the most perishable item being consumed by people: a newspaper. All the planning of the editors, the color, the. sports scores, the Pulitzer Prize-

winning exposes and the comic geniuses were all in the hands of an army of small kids pedaling their way through the darkness in the small hours of the morning. Without them, all of the people at the paper might just as well have been writing and illustrating history books.

The reasons being cited for the demise of these carriers are fears over their safety, delivery costs, ie weight of the Sunday editions, and a shortage of willing youngsters.

Maybe thats the real world

now.

Should Mom Report Drug- Dealing Son?

Dear Abby: I think I know the answer to my problem, but I need your advice.

I have good reason to believe that my eldest son (Ill call him Paul) is dealing drugs. I have suspected his selling marijuana for years. Over the last few years hes become a chronic liar and braggart. Ive* ignored it until he showed me a wad of money he claimed was $10,000. Since he hasnt held a legitimate job in 15 years. Ive concluded that hes selling more than marijuana.

Shortly after showing me the money, he bought his wife a new car. He said he paid cash for it. He has also bragged about owning a gun.

Dear Abby

Abigail Van Buren

Pauls wife is pleasant enough, but

I feel that she does nothing to stop him from doing whatever he is into. In fact, I think she encourages him. Ive noticed that she has become more materialistic over the past few years. Shes buying a lot of clothes and jewelry, and tiieyre living in a home they could not afford on her salary alone.

Abby, I know in my heart the best thing I could do for my son would be to notify the sheriff, but I worry about what will happen to my grandson if Paul is arrested. If it were anyone else, Id contact the

authorities. Please help me. . Perplexed In California

Dear Perplexed: Youre right, you do have the answer to your problem. I think you should warn Paul and give him the chance to quit this risky, illegal business before he ends up either in prison, or even dead. You need have no qualms of conscience about blowing the whistle. If

. your son goes to prison, at least hell /ill

be alive, and will have a chance to go straight eventually.

Dear Abby: Recently I was invited to lunch at a friends home. My hostess is a very nice woman with good manners, but all during lunch (there were just the two of us), she kept her TV soap opera on, and consequently we had no chance to visit.

(She didnt turn down the volume; in fact, she turned it up.)

Please comment in your column on people keeping their television sets on when they have guests. She didnt even ask me if I wanted to see that program. No Name

Dear No Name: Your hostess was rude. What happened to her good manners?

I have dealt with this problem before. If company should drop in uninvited to find their friends watching a television program, its perfectly alf right for the surprised hosts to continue watching their favorite program, and the drop-ins should not feel hurt. But when one invites guests for lunch, the TV set should be turned off unless, of

course, the guest is just as eager to watch it as the host.

If you would like to write to Abby, send your letter to Abigail Van Buren, P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA. 90069. For a personal, non-published reply, enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.

The citys GREAT bus system did not operate Wednesday, but is operating at full service today, according to Allen.

Tree limbs continue to be the big concern in public works, Allen said. A special task force of 20 to 24 people has been drawn from other departments to pick up limbs. Well keep picking them up as long as we need to, Allen said. Ive

never seen so many tree limbs in my life. '

As soon as the moisture abates, street repair will begin, Allen promised. He said he is aware that many potholes have been created by ice in Greenville over the past few weeks and the asphalt crews will be out as soon as its dry enough.

Malcolm Green, Greenville Utilities director, said GUCs worst problems have been created not by breaking transmission lines but by galloping ones. He said just a little ice on the lines has conspired with just the right wind speed to create a whipping motion on the lines, causing them to touch each other, arc and shut down portions of the system momentarily.

Green said the two major outages during the harsh weather that began Wednesday morning included a broken pole at Tar and Conley roads near Winterville about 5:15 a.m. today and a broken insulator on N.C. 102 at Venters Crossroads about the same time. These two accidents on the lines caused outages over a large part of the county south and east of N.C. 11. he said.

He said restoration of service was accomplished in a little over an hour and a half.

English Leads Nugget Win

Denver Breezes Past Charlotte Hornets By 112-99

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE - The NBA didrft come to Charlotte soon enough^flor Denvers Alex English.

The veteran guard, who grew and went to college less than 90 miles from here in Columbia, S.C., scored 31 points Wednesday nighLin the Nuggets 112-99 victory over the expanison Charlotte Hornets.

I wish they had come sooner, English said, after going 12-for-20 from the field and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line. I had a lot of family and friends, and its not as far as to Atlanta.

And next year we come here three times.

The victory broke the Nuggets two-game losing streak, and was the Hornets fifth-straight .loss, their longest skid of the season.

We havent played the best ball lately, but give the other teams credit, said Hornets forward Kelly Tripucka, who recorded the 10,000th point of his eight-year NBA career on the first basket of the game. They are gunning for playoff spots and they dont take us for granted anymore.

Nuggets guard Michael Adams, who added 19 points, 12 assists and six rebounds, capped a 6-0 scoring

Dean Smith leads his Tar Heels into the ACC tournamentAngry Smith Chides Reporter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

: RALEIGH - North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith responded angrily to a reporters question about J.R. Reids future, and called taunts about the players academic skills racist.

Smith was asked about Reids season as well as any discussion about the 6-foot-9 juniors future at North Carolina.

Nobody asked that question about (Didte senior Danny) Ferry last year, Smith said during the weekly Atlantic Coast Conferences coaches telephone news conference. Ironically, he was closer to going pro than J.R. did and all we dealt with all January and February was J.R.

Smith said both Reid and Ferry come from great families and both are concerned about education. Thenv he criticized fans at other arena's who have held up signs saying ^J>R. Cant Reid.

It bothers me when somebody says ... I know theyre trying to be clever and say J.R. cant read. Well, you know, Danny Ferry and (Duke freshman Christian) Laet-tner didnt do as wefl on total college board scores as Reid and (Tar Heel center Scott) Williams. Its just kind of a racist

remark. Sometimes, it really bugs me, Smith said, adding that all of a sudden, why should he be going pro when nobody mentions Ferry last year. .

Smith said Reids family has indicated he is staying in school. Reid, meanwhile, said in an interview that he would discuss the situation with his parents and Smith after the season, and that he would take the coachs advice.

If the time is right, the moneys right and the team is rights I might leave, Reid told The Charlotte Observer. The way they play in the pros might be a better situation for me. But Im not in a rush to leave.

Smith said he thought Reid has played well in January and February. Reid missed the first month of the season due to a broken bone in his left foot.

When theyre jamming him and hes in the game, somebody else gets an easy shot, Smith said. Consequently, hes helped us offensively.

Defensively, hes really improved. I thought he did a good job on Ferry last Sunday when he had him. He just hasnt played much this year, Smith said. Hes sure coming on now and I hope he will go on and have a super tournament.

run to open the fourth quarter that gave the Nuggets a 96-76 lead with 10:53 remaining.

The Hornets were able to close the gap to 14 with five minutes left on three straight points by Dave Happen, who finished with 14, but they never got any closer.

Blaire Rassmussen scored 18 for the Nuggets and Walter Davis added 14.

Tripucka, who becomes the fifth player this season and the 148th player in NBA history to reach the 10,000-point milestone, scored 21 points to lead Charlotte. Rookie Rex Chapman added 17 points and Kurt Rambis had 16 points and 18 rebounds.

Denver led by as much as 21 three times in the third quarter, going ahead 74-53 on Englishs outside jumper with 7:51 left in the third period.

But the Hornets, sparked by 5-foot-3 point guard Tyrone Muggsy Bogues, came back with a 16-4 run and cut the lead back to 84-74 on Tripuckas jumper with 1:32 left in the third period.

We were looking for a win tonight, said Denver coach Doug Moe, whose team is now 1-2 on its current five-game road trip with a game at Miami on Friday and at Boston on Sunday. We are trying to build some momentum and string a few vicotries together. We need to play tougher for 48 minutes and play

better defense. If we can do that, we can get a string going.

Mavericks 99, Trail Blazers 92 .Adrian Dantleys attitude is beginning to rub off on the Dallas Mavericks, which could very well make them winners.

Obtained in a trade with the Detroit Pistons, Dantley scored 23 points and ignited the Mavericks ' with his battling attitude Wednesday night, leading Dallas to a 99-92 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

With 4:09 remaining and Dallas leading by seven points, Dantley and the Blazers Jerome Kersey tangled. Dantley drew a technical foul when he grabbed Kerseys leg as the Dallas forward fell to the court.

Dantley came up swinging and both players scuffled until teammates moved in to break it up.

Terry Porter hit the technical free throw to begin a seven-point run by Portland, which pulled the Trail Blazers within 85-84. But the Mavericks went on their own six-point spurt, capped by Derek Harpers steal and ayup, to extend their lead to 91-84 with 1:12 to play.

Donaldson, who had 19 points and 16 rebounds, extended a Dallas record with his 10th straight game of double-figures in points and rebounds.

With the victory, Dallas moved into sole possession of the seventh spot in the Western Conference playoff

ACC Is Never A Bomb In Atlanta

Previous Tournaments Did Produce Some Explosions, However

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When its held in Atlanta, the ACC Tournament is never a bomb.

But as the league prepares for its 35th annual shootout to officially decide its champion, you can hear a suspicious ticking.

And it seems to be getting louder and louder.

The reason? The previous two ACC Tournaments held at the Omni

in 1983 and 85 produced unexpected explosions on and off the court. In their way, theyll go down as two of the more special tournaments in ACC history, especially in the post-1974 era when more than one conference member has been allowed to play in the NCAA Tournament.

There is a notion in certain corners of the league that any ACC Tournament held in Atlanta gives a sure-fire edge to Georgia Tech. That would appear to be true, because the Yellow Jackets have won 80 percent (4-1) of their ACC Tournament games in the Omni, with their first-ever ACC Tournament victory in 1983 and their first-ever ACC title in 85.

The notion should be, though, that any ACC Tournament held in Atlanta almost guarantees that something

or somebody will go off.

Perhaps its time for a trip down

the Omnis crater-pocked ACC Tournament memory lane.

The 1983 tournament will be remembered best as the beginning of North Carolina States dramatic march to the national championship. The Wolfpack wasnt even assured of a bid to the NCAA Tournament when it arrived in Atlanta, but it had the momentum and the magic clearly going its way after beating Wake Forest 71-70 in the opening round. North Carolina 91-84 in overtime in the semifinals, and Virginia 81-78 in the title game.

Yet, also that weekend:

Rumors flew for the first time in his then-11 years at Wake Forest that Carl Tacy would resign and return to Marshall as head coach and athletic director. Wake players expressed their disillusionment with Tacy, who vowed that he did not and would not resign, and Gene Hooks, the Deacons athletic director, said that Tacy would not be fired. The end didnt come until two years later.

Ralph Sampson showed his best and worst sides during and after a 109-66 victory over Duke in the first round. Afterward, Sampson went into a profane tirade about freshman Jay Bilas of the Blue Devils, accusing him of dirty basketball and complaining about the rough treatment that he had received all

season. If the Cavaliers ran the score up a bit that night, certainly theyve paid since. Virginia hasnt beaten Duke since that night.

Lefty Driesell came to Atlanta after having suspended Herman Veal less than a week after the players alleged rape of a coed on the Maryland campus. While in Atlanta, Driesell faced allegations that he had tried to persuade the woman to drop the charges. I aint ever threatened anybody, except sports writers, he said.

Georgia Tech won its first ACC Tournament game ever, upending the Terps 64-58.

The 1985 tournament will be remembered as the year that Tech officially came of age and proved it could play with the best in the league, winning its first ACC title with a 55-48 victory over Virginia in the opening round, a 75-64 victory over Duke in the semis, and a 57-54 victory over North Carolina in the final.

Again, there were more than basketball games being played:

The rulebook got a stern test, but did not let compassion or reason change the outcome of a call. North Carolina beat Wake Forest 72-61 in overtime in the opening round, but not before the turning point came on a technical foul called against

Wakes Charlie Thomas. Wake, leading 47-45 with 6:05 left, was assessed a foul by official Hank Nichols when Thomas hung onto the rim to avoid landing on UNCs Warren Martin, who had fallen and was laying on the court. If I had come down I would have landed on his face, Thomas said. Nichols said, We are trapped by the rules.

Georgia Techs Duane Ferrell was lost during the tournament with torn knee ligaments and Dukes Mark Alarie was shelved with a hip pointer, both injuries hurting their teams latei- in the NCAA Tournament.

Dukes Mike Krzyzewski boiled over after his teams loss to Tech in the semis. Ive gone along with the so-called gag rule all season, but the seasons over no^. The officiating today was a disgrace to the conference and to the players, he said. Yes, Lenny Wirtz worked the game.

Where is the ticking coming from this year?

Only time will tell.

But the elements are in place for something else zany to happen on the court and off. In the past week alone, ACC teams have geared for the tournament with a four-overtime game ( Wake-State) and one in which a steal and 3-pointer in the final five

Sports Notes Gill Returns With A Bang

Nestle Event A Homecoming For Azinger

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The name has changed but its still something of a homecoming for Paul Azinger this week in the $800,000 Nestle Invitational.

Its importartt to me, its high on my list of priorities because it was so important to me to win here last year, Azinger said before teeing off today in the tournament he won as the Bay Hill Classic.

It meant a lot to me because of my ties here, said Azinger, who 10 years ago served as a counselor at an Arnold Palmer Golf Academy for teen-agers on this same course. t

It meant a lot to me because they were saying I couldnt come back, added Azinger, who used this triumph a year ago to dispel speculation he would be unable to successfully follow up his Player of the Year season in 1987.

Azinger, apparently attempting to avoid any unnecessary pressure, now denies hes been pointing for this tournament. But throughout the season, week after week, he would follow a strong finish with the comment, Just building up for Bay Hill.

Now, however, his comment was, Just look at what Ive done the last few weeks. Its pretty good. Ill let that speak for itself.

He was second in the Bob Hope Classic, losing in a playoff. He was third in Phoenix, 10th in Hawaii, ninth at Doral and sixth last week.

Ive never done that before. Ive never had a streak that consistent before, said Azinger, who has won $218,300 already this season.

Its nice to be in a position to be able to say the money doesnt interest me, he said. Thats not the point any more. Now, my driving force is to win golf tournaments.

Im hitting it good. And thats all Im going to say

He faces an elite, invitational field of 114 that is led by a revitalized Greg Norman, who begins the major part of his American schedule in this one.

Im interested in playing golf again. Im excited about it, he said. Ive decided I do want to play another 11 years or so.

I think Ive final y put Augusta behind me^ got it out of my head. Im not putting so much pressure on myself. Im enjoying myself again. Im having fun playing golf.

Im back where I was a couple of years ago. My swing is coming back, said Norman, who won two of four Australian starts this year and finished fourth in his only previous American appearance.

Other major figures include Tom Watson, Ray Floyd, Fuzzy Zoeller, Mark Calcavecchia, Payne Stewart, Tom Kite, Masters champion Sandy Lyle of Scotland and U.S. Open title-holder Curtis Strange.

Seniors Need To Learn Some New Tricks

PHOENIX (AP) If old dogs really cant be taught new tricks, some senior statesmen of professional golf are in trouble.

They face a long and wholly new layout when the $300,000 Arizona Classic gets under way Friday in the grand opening of the 6,617-yard, par-72 Pointe Golf Club course on Lookout Mountain.

It stretches over 166 acres of low desert mountain terrain. It sports tricky bunkers and contours on virtually every approach. Arroyos border several fairways and lie behind some greens.

Lou Graham, who won Tuesdays shootout, says he has played 16 of its 18 holes and its hard to get used to.

Besides Graham, the field of 72 includes defending champion A1 Geiberger and runner-up Orville Moody, along with Miller Barber, Gene Littler, Bruce Crampton, Harold Henning and Bill Johnson, who designed the challenging resort course for The Pointe at Tapatio Cliffs.

I think from the professional standpoint, it will be exciting because theyve never played on it, tournament director Doin Heyl said. The first day or two will be learning days for them.

Drive too long on the 347-yard par-4 13th and you can land in a dry wash just past the green. Drive too short on 128-yard par-3 No. 9 and you land in a dry gulch that fronts the green.

You play Nos. 2 and 15 right beside a busy multi-lane street that splits the course. The tunnel that takes you under the street for Nos, 1,2,16,17 and 18 makes for a long walk; the rest of the course is on the other side.

This $18 million course has seen formal play only in a February media tournament and the preliminary rounds earlier this week. The public wont get a shot at it until after Sundays final round in this 54-hole competition that offers the winner $45,000 from a purse thats $75,000 higher this year.

For several years, this stop on the PGA Seniors circuit was played on the Hillcrest course in Sun City West, pretty much a straightforward course where wind was more the problem than terrain.

Wind can be a factor here, too: with the course flowing around the hilly base of two mountains, the prevailing wind is from the southwest for the second hole, from the east on No. 8. Shifting breezes can cross up the drive on No. 4, a 461-yard par-4.

Somes greens are long and narrow, some are as much as 18 feet above the desert floor, and one that h?is nothing close behind it the 409-yard par-4 No. 12 leaves a misleading impression of infinity. Just dont pay too much attention to the arroyo alongside the fairway.

Blaylock Earns One-Game Suspension

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Mookie Blaylock, an All-Big Eight guard who started every game for Oklahoma this year, has been suspended from the Sooners conference tournament opener Friday for his weekend arrest.

Blaylock pleaded no contest Wednesday to an amended charge of disturbing the peace. He was arrested Sunday around 4 a.m. on a complaint of public intoxication after Norman police answered a call from a convenience store clerk about an argument.

I think the charge of disturbing the peace and the time the incident occurred warranted a one-game suspension, Oklahoma athletic director Donnie Duncan said Wednesday. This was an unfortunate incident, but one that needed to be viewed on its own merits. Thats what we did, and I think the sentence was fair.

The second-ranked Sooners, 26-4, play Colorado on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. in the opening round of the Big Eight Conference tournament.

Mookie Blaylock is a good person and I am proud that he has been at the University of Oklahoma, Coach Billy Tubbs said in a statement released by the sports information department. He is still a member of our basketball family and, even though everyone concerned has learned a valuable lesson, we support him fully.

The Sooners, who won the Big Eight regular-season title, defeated Colorado this season 122-86 and 106-88.

Were going to be ready to play, but this is gonna make our task tougher, Tubbs said. Our players will try to take up the slack. I thought it was gonna be a tough game, anyway.

Norman police had said Blaylock could have avoided the arrest had the argument between Blaylock and a female companion not rekindled outside the store.

You shouldnt have put yourself in this position, Municipal Judge Ted Roberts told Blaylock. I dont know what happened out there, but right or wrong you should comply with the officers. Theyve got the hammer.

Roberts imposed a six-month deferred sentence for Blaylock and ordered him to pay a $50 administrative fee and $19 in court costs, which he paid immedately after the court appearance.

Attorney J.W. Coyle, who represented Blaylock, said the deferred sentence in essence, means that in six months the charge against him will be dismissed.

Under a deferred sentence, the charge can be wiped off Blaylocks record if he is not convicted of any other violations within the next six months.

Smiths Court Date Gets Postponed

AMHERST, Va. (AP) North Carolina coach Dean Smiths court appearance on a reckless driving charge, originally scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed until June 13.

Margaret Burks, clerk of Amherst County General District Court, said Smiths lawyer sought the continuance by telephone last Friday because the date that it was set was not convenient for either one of them. We would have done the same for anyone.

He has been charged with speeding four times since 1980. Two charges resulted in convictions. On the other two charges. Smith received a prayer for judgment continued meaning he was found guilty but no judgment was entered.

Even without Kendall Gill in the lineup for the last six weeks, Illindis has been among the top five teams in the nation.

With Gill healthy again after being sidelined with a broken foot, the fourth-ranked Illini are primed for a big showing in the NCAA Tournament.

Gill, playing for the first time since Jan. 22, ignited a decisive first-half, run that carried the Illini to a 118-94 Big Ten victory over 15th-ranked Iowa on Wednesday night.

Im sure Kendall had a lot to do with the victory ... were a much better ballclub with him, Illinois Coach Lou Henson said. I think hes getting close to where he was before the injury.

Gill played only 25 minutes, but

finished with 15 points, two rebounds, four assists and two steals.

He is one more dimension for a team that was already playing very well, said Iowa Coach Tom Davis, whose team suffered its worst defeat in his three seasons with the Hawkeyes. Were not playing that badly. Illinois deserves a lot of credit.

The Hawkeyes, 21-9 overall and 9-8 in the Big Ten, jumped to a 20-10 lead sbven minutes into the game. II-linios pulled even at 33-33 with 3:45 left in the half before Gill started the Illini, 26-4 and 13-4, on a decisive 15-2 run that put them ahead to stay.

The first 10 minutes, I was beginning to wonder how badly wed get beat, Henson said.

Gill did not start and missed his first two shots coming off the bench. But he snapped the games final tie with a 3-point jumper, then followed

NMSU Hoping To Return To NCAAs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - It hangs inconspicuously ifrom a south rafter inside New Mexico States Pan American Center, a solitary symbol of where this basketball program has been and its colossal struggle to return there.

The fading red banner proclaims that in 1970, when John Wooden and UCLA were in the midst of their de

cade-long dominance of the NCAA Tournament, the New Mexico State Aggies finished third at the Final Four in College Park, Md.

That NMSU team, coached by Lou Henson, who now is at Illinois, went 27-3 and featured three NBA draftees in center Sam Lacey (Cincinnati), and guards Charley Criss (Atlanta) and Jimmy Collins (Chicago).

The third place 79-73 victory over

St. Bonaventure also was the pinnacle of five straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament, trips in which the Aggies faced UCLA three times and the Elvin Hayes-led Houston team of 1967.

NMSU has been to the NCAA big show only twice since in 1975 when the Aggies lost to North Carolina 93-69 in the first round, and in 1979, when they fell in overtime to Weber State, 81-78, in another first-round exit.

Lawyer Testifies For Johnson As Drug Inquiry Continues

spi

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO - Ben Johnsons lawyer is suggesting that the Tinter may not have understood e full implications of using anabolic steroids when his coach first discussed them.

In cross-examination of coach Charlie Francis, that continues today, lawyer Ed Futerman asked repeatedly about his clients ability to understand and the influence that Francis may have had on an impressionable youth.

And, after pursuing questions about how well Johnson might have done without anabolic steroids, Futerman asked the coach: Isnt it kind of sad that Ben Johnson and the other athletes who were part of your group will never know for sure?

Johnsons only comment since being stripped of his Olympic gold medal for a positive steroid test was a brief statement last fall that he never knowingly used illegal drugs to enhance his performance.

Francis has delivered six days of detailed testimony to the Canadian commission on drugs and athletics formed after the Olympic scandal, tracing the sprinters decision to first use steroids to the fall of 1981.

The often contentious cross-examination by Futerman, which started Wednesday, was the first indication of what the athlete might tell the commission in his still-unscheduled appearance before the commission.

Futerman repeatedly asked Francis what he told Johnson in 1981 and said that the athlete, then 19, sat through a half-hour meeting about steroid use with the coachs doctor without asking a single question.

I was under the impression he understood what was being said, the coach said. I think its fair to say I cant be sure.

Francis, now 40, has been the athletes only coach since 1977, when Johnson was 15.

Johnson had emigrated to Canada from Jamaica in 1976 and was attending a Toronto secondary school that the coach described as a pedagogical dumping ground.

The coach said he was convinced that Johnson was brighter and

deserved a chance for a better education.

But is it also fair to say that not everyone shared that opinion, that some people were somewhat concerned about Bens capacity to understand what you were talking about? Futerman asked.

The lawyer asked if Francis used the word cheating in his explanation.

No, I did not, the coach replied. I told him it was banned.

Futerman also questioned Francis about how much he knew of the side effects of steroids.

The coach said he still believes that steroids are not harmful in low dosages and the regulated, limited cycles tried by his athletes. But he said that, if he had known about harmful side effects, then yes, I would have grave concern, nor would I take them myself.

Francis insisted that his No. 1 concern was the welfare of his athletes. He has named Johnson and 12 other Canadian athletes who used steroids under his coaching program, starting with female sprinter Angella Taylor Issajenko in 1979.

In fact, I believed that the welfare of my athletes was being addressed, the coach said.

Francis has said repeatedly during his testimony that the athlete was presented information about steroids, understood their use and that they were illegal and was aware of the need to leave enough time for them to clear his sytem before facing the possibility of a test at competition.

I trusted that he understood the full scope of our conversation, because after all I was entrusting myself in his hands as well, Francis said.

Johnsons 9.79 second, 100-meter dash Sept. 24 broke his own record of 9.83 records set in 1987, but was disallowed after the positive test for the steroid stanozolol forced him to return the gold medal.

Francis said that, although steroids were used as recently as Sept. 2 before the Olympics, stanozolol was last included in the spring of 1987 and could not have shown up in the test at Seoul unless it was the result of sabotage.

Results Are Mixed On ACCs JUCOs

By Tom Foreman Jr.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The report cards are in on the Atlantic Coast Conferences newest class of junior college transfers and the results are mixed.

Three ACC teams hoped to bolster their chances for the title this'season by bringing in junior college athletes to fill in or help at key positions. Virginia, Georgia Tech and Clemson were the first to give in, and their coaches say they cant complain.

I hoped they would try and keep the program going and really fill in and compliment the nucleus, and I think they accomplished that, Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins said.

Cremins said Johnny McNeil has been the most consistent of his three junior college transfers. McNeil is averaging six points per game.

Hes had a lot of problems with fouls but overall, hes been the most consistent, Cremins said.

Karl Brown has improved in the backcourt, Cremins said, but the problem has been with Maurice Brittain, whom Cremins hoped would lend help to Tom Hammonds in the middle.

Hes had some good games, but he has not come on the way I really feel he could, Cremins said. He has struggled, but hes hung in there.

Overall, the three junior college players accomplished what we wanted them to, to try and keep this program going, get us an NCAA bid and so forth, he said.

Clemson coach Cliff Ellis said last fall that he needed help in the backcourt, especially when it came to shooting 3-point field goals. Derrick Forrest finished ninth in the league in 3-point percentage at 37 percent. Kirkland Howling averaged

Sookram, lawyer for the doctor identified as the supplier of steroids for Francis athletes since 1984, indicated his client would admit supplying them but deny selling them.

But Sodu*am said outside the hearing room that the comment made in his cross-examination of Francis was not the same as an admission by his client. Dr. George Jamie ^taphan.

Francis testified that he does not believe the sales were ever for more money than the doctor paid for the substances.

Neil McCarthy, who coached Weber State in that victory over NMSU 10 years ago, is completing his fourth year at New Mexico State. And heading into this weeks Big West Conference tournament at Long Beach, Calif., the Aggies once again have thoughts of a postseason tournament bid.

The Aggies finished the regular season 19-9, second in the Big West behind 18th-ranked Nevada-Las Vegas. A 75-73 loss to UNLV last Sunday at least temporarily denied NMSU its first 20-win season since 1979.

A win over the Rebels significantly would have increased NMSUs chances for an at-large bid when NCAA invitations go out Sunday. McCarthy conceded his team now will have to win the conference tournament to get into the 64-team field.

I think an NCAA bid may have been at stake tonight, McCarthy said after the Aggies lost a nine-point second half lead against UNLV.

Became it has been so long since an NMSU team played past the first week in March, McCarthy happily would accept an NIT bid should the NCAA bubble burst for the Aggies.

We have the program where we want it now and we think weve already earned an NIT bid, McCarthy said. We definitely want to go somewhere.

NMSU Hired McCarthy away from Weber State after Weldon Drews 1984-85 squad went 7-2. McCarthy was 66-15 in his final three years at Weber State and, in 10 years there, led the Utah school to four NCAA and one NIT tournament appearance.

His success^at NMSU has been less dramatic 18-12 in his first year, followed by two .500 camapigns before this season.

This seasonV record is even more impressive because the Aggies have endured fan apathy and an automobile wreck in California. And they have won as a team, with individuals who wont draw a second ' look from NBA scouts.

The frontline vis comprised of senior center Johnny Roberson (6-foot-7, 180 pounds); junior James Anderson (6-6) and senior Willie Joseph (6-3).

I dont know if were overachievers, but I know we get as much as we can out of ourselves, McCarthy said. There have been games when theyve (Aggies) played so hard defensively that if the game had lasted another five minutes, thev couldnt have done it.

A combination of good defense (the team has ranked in the top 15 nationally all year) and players who adjust offensively has carried the

Aggies to nine victories in their last 12 games.

A team that has thrived on its defensive skills, the Aggies have no big scorers. Roberson, at 14.5 points per game and Joseph, at 10.0, are the leaders

Anderson, who saw little playing time the first month of the season, stepped into the starting lineup after Steve McGlothin was injured in the collision of a team van with a car on a Fresno street two months ago. Starting guard Jeff McCool also was injured in the accident and junior Keith Hill stepped in and picked up the scoring slack.

Since the accident weve really been thin on the bench, McCarthy said. "We've had to ask the kids to play longer and harder, and theyve responded. Weve won a lot of close games (six by five points or less), and I think that goes back to the old adage that good things happen to good people.

McCarthy's only complaint this year has been that his team has too often played before a half-empty house. But on the court, says McCarthy, the Aggies are close to catching up with their past.

We havent had the big glossy records, the 20-game wins and we havent gotten to the tournament, he said. "But were heading in that direction. This year weve got a chance.

just 6.3 points per game, but Ellis sees his contributions as important if not substantial.

Without Kirk Howling, we would not have beaten North Carolina. Without Marion Cash (6.9 points jr game) we would not have the {Mint guard that gives us the transition game when its needed and our presses when its needed and hes been very instrumental with our defense and running our fast break, he said.

Ellis saved much more of his praise for Forrest, who scored at a 12.9 per-game pace.

He just gives us all areas of the game. He does not have a weakness in his game, Ellis said. He is not a superstar but hes solid in every )hase. I just dont think that we lave the success we have this year without those guys.

Forrest has produced the most of the junior college transfers in the ACC, but Virginias Terry Holland is pleased with his players, Brent Dabbs and Anthony Oliver.

Brent Dabbs has steppe^ into the starting lineup and has given us a very consistent performance, especially on the boards, Holland said. He has been very, very important to our play.

Dabbs is scoring 7.8 points per game, but his seven rebounds per game make him ninth best in the league.

Holland said it would be hard to read from Curtis Williams statistics whether he has been important to the Cavaliers, but he said a review ^of the big games would show someone came off the bench and provided us a double-figure game. Sometimes it was Kenny Turner, sometimes it was Anthony Oliver, but more often than not, it was Curtis Williams (seven points per game). Thats been a very big part of our success this year.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleveland's Rich Yett didnt have much of a chance to throw his split-finger, and the result was a split decision between the Indians and Milwaukee Brewers.

The Indians and Brewers split squads and decisions at their Arizona spring training camps, the Brewers winning 8-4 in Tucson and the Indians taking a 5-2 decision in Chandler,

Milwaukees victory was powered by Joey Meyers two-run, first-inning homer his second of the spring off Yett. It followed Gary Sheffields two-out single.

In his first game, Richie got ahead with his fastball and killed San Francisco with the split-finger, Cleveland pitching coach Mark Wiley said. Today, Milwaukee hammered his fastball before he could get ahead.

The Brewers added two more runs in the second inning on a two-run single by Gus Polidor. They made it 5-0 in the fifth when Greg Vaughn tripled and scored on Polidors sacrifice fly, and they scored three more in the ninth, including two on a double by Jim Jones.

Chris Bosio got the victory.

At Chandler, Cleveland took a 1-0 lead on Pete OBriens sacrifice fly in the first inning off Brewers starter Bill Wegman.

Ron Tingley made it 2-0 with his sacrifice fly in the second and gave the Indians a 5-0 lead when he tripled in two runs in the sixth off Milwaukee reliever Odell Jones.

Cardinals Pitcher Frustrated Over His Arm Injury

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS Cardinals pitcher Danny Cox apparently vented frustration over an injury that may jeopardize his career by grabbing a television cameraman by the throat and shoving him backward over a chair in one of two incidents at Lambert Airport.

KSDK-TV camerman Frank Scalise said Cox called to apologize hours after the incident Wednesday morning. But on Coxs return flight to the teams spring training site in St. Petersburg, Fla., about 10 hours later he brushed off an interview request from another television reporter.

He turned me down because he said Im more important than you, said Greg Gizinski of KTVI-TV. He was being a total jerk.

The right-hander was in St. Louis to have his injured elbow examined by team physician Dr. Stan London, who disclosed that Cox possibly has damage to the medial collateral ligament. Cox, who had surgery to remove bone chips last May and was limited to 13 starts and a 3-8 record last season, is to meet Saturday with Dr. Frank Jobe, the Los Angeles Dodgers team physician.

Cardinals general manager Dal ' Maxvill sided with Cox in the incident with Scalise.

They should have had the courtesy to know that he didnt wahi to say anything, Maxvill said. But they continued, in no uncertain terms, and thats a sure way to pro

voke a guy a little bit.

Scalise said he admired Cox as a ballplayer and would not press charges, but added that the pitcher was way out of line.

I can understand how he feels, with his career on the line, but I certainly would not lay my hands on anybody if I was in that situation, Scalise said. If your temper is that uncontrollable, somethings wrong. Scalise said that Cox had told him during their telephone conversation that he was extremely frustrated, not knowing what his future holds. Scalise, 42, an 18-year veteran as a news cameraman, was assigned to meet Cox at the airport about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to tape an interview that was to have been conducted by a KSDK sports reporter.

Videotape taken by a television cameraman from KMOV shows Cox walked up the airport concourse, suddenly veered to his left and assaulted Scalise.

It was vicious, Scalise said. I didnt say a word to him. Most times, in hostile situations, I know whats going on around me. This was so unprovoked, so out of character, that it took me by surprise. Scalise pointed out, just as the ,6 videotape showed, that Cox grabbed him by the throat and began pushing him backward.

I remember what he said, Scalise said. He said, Do you have a problem, boy? Do you have a problem? Ill beat your ass. All I said was Im just doing my job. I think I said thattwioe.

Cox is 6-foot4 and weighs 220 pounds. Scalise is 6-1 and also weighs about 220 pounds.

Im not a small guy, Scalise said. I didnt feel threatened by him. It happened too quick.

Scalise said he had a sore shoulder from trying to keep his camera from hitting the floor when he fell over the chair and scratches on his throat where Cox grabbed him.

William Bolster, vice president and general manager of KSDK-TV, called the attack unprovoked and unfortunate.

We cant tolerate this type of thing, Bolster said. We are in the business of covering news. And clearly Danny Cox, a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, is a public figure.

Bolster said he had received a call from Fred Kuhlman, the Cardinals executive vice president and chief operating officer. Kuhlman apologized on behalf of the team. Bolster said.

Team spokesman Kip Ingle also said Cox was sorry for the incident and wants Scalise and his family to be his guest at a Cardinals game.

Danny is deeply sorry that the incident occurred, Ingle said. He called (Scalise) this afternoon, and Danny had a chance to express his regrets over the situation. He has been under extreme distress over his injury, and apologizes.

Gizinski said he attempted unsuccessfully to interview Cox at about 5:30 p.m., before Cox was to board

his return flight to Florida.

Southern Whites Lead In Family Income Growth

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Southern whites who have been to college and now live in the suburbs of a small city are likely making the most progress in bettering their financial standing, a Census Bureau analysis indicated Wednesday.

Overall, white families increased their median income by 1.1 percent from 1986 to 1987, while the incomes of black and Hispanic families slipped, according to the report Money Income of Households, Families and Persons in the United States: 1987.

The 1987 median income of while families was $32,274, up from $31,935 a year earlier, the report said.

By comparison, median income for blacks was $18,098, down from $18,247, while for Hispanics the median fell to $20,306 from $20,726, according to the study, an expanded version of an analysis released in August that found nearly one-third of all black Americans living in poverty.

While the earlier report detailed the poverty status of various segments of society, the new edition contains extensive detail on income for differing groups.

Among family groups, the highest incomes were reported for white married couples at $35,295, up from $34,647. Black married couples saw their median income fall from $27,554 to $27,182, while for Hispanic couples there .was a drop from $24,786 to $24,677.

White families maintained by a woman with no husband present had an income increase froip $16,290 to $17,018.

Black female householders reported an increase from $9,640 to $9,710. Among Hispanics the median for this group edged up from $9,777 to $9,805.

The biggest income gain by education was for people with one to three years of college. Families headed by people in this category saw their incomes rise from $35,455 to $36,392.

Ranked by education, families headed by people with more than five years of college still had the highest income at $54,491, but that was down a bit, from $54,595. And for those with four years of college, income fell from $47,269 to $46,533.

High school grads saw an 0.6 percent increase from $29,765 to $29,937, while income for families headed by those with some high school education climbed from $20,854 to $21,265. Family income for those with no high school education fell from $14,616 to $14,547.

Chief Bank Regulator Says Bush S&L Proposal Would Harm FDIC

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The nations chief bank regulator. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman L. William Seidman, complained Wednesday that his agencys political and financial independence would be curtailed by the administrations savings and loan rescue plan.

Seimnan, whose agency has been given supervisory authority to seize and run insolvent S&Ls during the current crisis in the savings and loan indust^, fears that the propped legislation could interfere with the FDICs tough regulatory stance.

The Bush plan would combine regulation of banks and S&Ls under a new FDIC, whose members could be chosen and removed at the presidents wish. The president now selects FDIC members, but they can be removed only for gross dereliction of duty.

The presidential power to fire financial regulators without cause could compromise significantly the independence of the FDIC, Seidman told the financial institutions subcommittee of the House Banking Committee.

Seidman emphasized his opposition to any proposals that would run counter to the principle of establishing an independent deposit insurer.

He also went against the administration by suggesting that banks be immediately allowed to buy troubled thrifts without restrictions.

For example, banks acquiring sick S&Ls under the administration plan are prohibited from changing the ailing thrifts name to the name of the healthy bank. This and other current Federal Reserve restrictions would be applied to any takeovers

authorized by the administration )lan. But Seidman wants the bank to )e allowed to integrate the thrift into its operation without any restrictions.

The Bush plan would let banks buy sick thrifts for two years, and healthy institutions after that. Seidman, by contrast, endorsed a proposal by Rep. Frank Annunzio, D-111., the subcommittee chairman, to allow a bank to buy a healthy S&L immediately, as long as it buys a sick institution of similar size.

Allowing banks to buy S&Ls would reduce the ultimate cost to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. of disposing of crippled S&Ls, said Seidman, who is anxious to add thrifts to his area of jurisdiction without surrendering any of the

autonomy he has enjoyed while regulating banks financial health.

But Annunzio said he fears that S&Ls, with the primary mission of promoting housing, could suffer under a bank regulator. I am deeply concerned about the ability of the FDIC to handle its current work load and to also take, on the additional burden assigned by the Bush plan, he said. I am concerned when I discover that hundreds of banks in this country have not been examined in the past three years by the FDIC.

Noting that the FDIC lost money last year, its first loss in 50 years, he said, We should not blindly transfer a whole burden of responsibilities to an agency that clearly has problems of its own.

AT&T Chairman Robert E. Allen on Wednesday called the reorganization an attempt to respond to increased competition and the demands of customers for ever more specialized products and services.

This is not an exercise in drawing new organization charts, he said. The changes are meant to heighten our focus on customers. Alien said the only chart I have in my mind puts AT&Ts customers on top, with the new business units and divisions beneath them.

Such a management structure turns on its head AT&Ts traditional organization, the product of its long history as a monopolistic public utility set up to provide low-cost, reliable telephone service. .

The company said the changes are not expected to result in major dislocations for AT&Ts employees, most of whose jobs will remain basically the same under the realignment. There will be no changes in the companys office of the chairman, which consists of Allen and three vice chairmen: Charles Marshall, Morris Tanen-baum and Randall L. Tobias.

AT&T also is continuing, however, with a five-year program to trim 16,000 jobs mostly operator and network maintenance positions from a work force that now is about 304,000.

The change hardly comes as a surprise. Since the 54-year-old Allen succeeded James E. Olson, who died suddenly last April, he has emphasized the importance of imbuing the company with a strong customer orientation.

Some of the business units are being pieced together from parts of larger existing groups in the com->any. Others already exist but are )eing tightly focused on specific markets.

Chinese Round Up Suspected Protesters In Tibet

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

BEIJING Suspected pro-independence protesters, some screaming in terror, were rounded up by police and soldiers in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa Wednesday , as the city l^an its first day under martial law imposed by China.

The heavy crackdown, which came after three days of clashes in which police shot and killed at least 11 and perhaps 50 or more, appeared to have brought relative calm to the city.

All foreigners, with the exception of a handful of people holding teaching or business jobs in Lhasa, have been ordered to leave the city by Thursday. Many Tibetans fear

that once those potential witnesses have been removed, the thousands of Chinese Peoples liberation Army soldiers deployed in the city will crack down fiercely against those who participated in this weeks clash and any who dare in future to protest in the streets against Chinese rule.

China, whicl^has firmly controlled Tibet since 1951, views advocacy of Tibetan independence as treason. The region was part of the Chinese empire during the Qing Dynasty but had de facto independence after 1911.

Friday is the 30th anniversary of the beginning of an abortive anti-Chinese uprising that resulted in the Dalai Lama, traditionally the tem-

]K)ral and spiritual ruler of Tibet, leeing to exile in India. Until martial law was declared Tuesday, Chinese authorities and Tibetans had expected that Friday might be a day of especially severe conflict. March 17, the anniversary of the day the Dalai Lama fled Lhasa, also was viewed as another potential trouble date.

Fear engulfed many of those involved in the protests. Security forces raided homes in the citys Tibetan quarter, arresting suspects and taking them away in trucks, according to foreign tourists in Lhasa interviewed by telephone from Beijing.

An American tourist said that soldiers dragged a terrified young

Tibetan woman screaming and crying from the stone-walled courtyard of a residential compound.

Police had photographed the demonstrations and clashes and Tibetans are afraid that ... whatever people they (police) can identify are going to get arrested and maybe executed, another American traveler said. Tibetans think a lot of people are going to get killed, and thats wh^the foreigners are being forced to leave.

Doje Cering, a pro-Chinese ethnic Tibetan who heads the Tibet Autonomous Region government, was quoted on Chinas national radio Wednesday as saying that separatists advocating Tibetan

independence had taken the governments restrained stance toward previous demonstrations as a sign of weakness.

Now is the time for a radical solution, Doje said, according to the radio report. If we dont adopt that now, it will seriously influence our social stability.

The Dalai Lamas administration-in-exile in India issued a statement Wednesday condemning the declaration of martial law but reiterating a call for negotiations on Tibets future.

Despite the current tragic events, we are still ready to hold talks with the Chinese so that a peaceful solution can be found, Tashi Wongdi, the Dalai Lamas

chief representative in New Delhi, declared. We are willing to meet the Chinese any day in Geneva.

A report from Lhasa Wednesday by the state-controlled New China News Agency used almost idyllic terms to describe the quick results of martial law. The agency said that shopkeepers and Buddhist worshippers praised the return of order to the city.

A middle-aged Tibetan woman who came out to pray at the Jokhang Temple in central Lhasa was quoted as declaring: Since martial law was declared, I have a strong sense of safety. I neednt worry any more that flying stones might hurt or kill me when I come here simply to pray.

North Korea Begins Process Of Shedding Its Secrecy Cloak

! By Cinty Li

! THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PYONGYANG, North Korea -Along the wide and immaculately i clean streets of Pyongyang, women , with their heads wrapped in white ; scarfs and men bundled up against : the winter morning cold trudge off to work.

I Most walk alone, their faces stern,

; their steps steady. Many wear a tiny ; enamel picture pin of President Kim II Sung, the omnipotent dictator who [has i^ed the Communist nation throughout its four decades of ex-' istence.

Pyongyang is the capital of one of the worlds most insular and repressive countries, which is fre-' quently accused of terrcMist activity and basic human rights violations.

But this hermit of the world has begun to show stirrings of more contact with the outside world, particularly with its two main foes, the United States and South Korea.

The Korean peninsula was divided into a communist North and capitalist South after World War II. Although the two sides have yet to sign a peace treaty after their 1950-1953 war, they are engaged in cautious attempts to ease tension by talking about topics ranging from a non-agression pact to trade.

Meanwhile, North Korean and U.S. diplomats recently met in Beijing, Chinas capital, in a rare display of direct contact.

In July, Pyongyang will play host to the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students, a gathering of communist and socialist youth groups that North Korea expects will attract about 20,000 delegates from more than 100 nations. The city also is under consideration as site for the 1989 World Student Games.

North Korea eagerly awaits the 13th World Festival and hopes it will enhance the countrys international stature, particularly after the humiliation of watching Seoul, the South Korean capital, successfully stage the Summer Olympics last year.

With the opening day of the festival approaching, our hearts are rushing to its venue, Kim Dong Yong, head of a train passenger car workshop, wrote in a typically worded article in the official magazine, Korea Today.

Colorful posters announcing the coining festival for anti-imperialist solidarity, peace and friendship, dot the oierwise drab landscape of I^ongyang.

Tourists who come to the capital are shown the facilities under construction for the event, including the ISO,000-seat Rungnado Stadium on an island in the River Tae Dong and a lOS-story building said to be the worlds tallest hotel.

What festival-goers will see when they visit ^ongyang is perhaps the worlds ultimate Communist capital, uriettered by grand reminders of a non-communist past. While Moscow has the Kremlin and Beijing has the imperial Forbidden City, modern FYon^ang was built from rubble aftei^ Korean War.

Today it is a city of 2 million resi-

dav

dents, blocks of tall and uninspired

apartments, and six-lane streets uncluttered by vehicles,v leaving traffic wlice plenty of rest as they mechanically direct the occasional bus, truck. East European car or sleek Mercedes.

Commuters descend into chandeliered stations to take the subway or patiently line up at bus stops. Pedestrians at major intersections use underpasses beneath the broad streets despite the dearth of traffic.

Men in green military overcoats are visible on ^fly every street, although some carry briefcases and appear heading to work. One carefully eyed a foreigner who bought a newspaper at a kiosk in the capital while another blocked a tourist from taking a picture of a dirty child at the border town of Sinuiju.

The streets of Pyongyang are deserted at night, with only a dim glow coming from street lamps and apartments. AH revolutionary monuments and statues, however, are bathed in li^ts.

Socialist realism is the art style. Prime examples include a heroic statue of a table tennis player and an indoor mural of victorious communist forces, bloodied but not vanquished, smashing the U.S. Army, which is reviled because it came to the aid of South Korea in the Korean War and since.

A two-hour acrobatic performance viewed by a group of tourists included a skit about the downfall of a U.S. military policeman, who was a caricature with blond hair, crooked nose and slightly hunched back.

A North Korean farmer got the best of the U.S. soldier by tricking him into pidling a snake from a straw basket. The snake bit the soldier until he fell unconcious. Placed on the fallen GIs back was the slogan: American soldiers go home.

Many of the main monuments glorify President Kim, who is hailed as the Great Leader, and promote his personality cult.

At the northern entrance to the city, one monument similar to the Arch of Triumph in Paris commemorates the 76-year-old Kims role in fighting Japan, the colonial ruler of Korea until the end of World War II. Banners praising Kim are ubiquitous.

Rising 560 feet above central Pyongyang is the Tower of the Juche Idea, erected for Kims 70th birthday. The Juche idea is Kims own in-terpreation of Marxism-Leninism and it stresses political and economic self-reliance.

Officials talk with pride of the accomplishments North Korea has made on its own. Tour guides point out the many new building in Pyon^ang, reciting statistics on height, area and length of construction time.

One guide sumamed Park said that people throughout the country of 20.7 million have been brought to Pyongyang to work on the youth festival projects. Park was unable to give exact figures, but a 1987 report in the Hong Kong-based Far Eastern Economic Review said 100,000

soldiers had been diverted to build the Kwangbok (Liberation) sports complex and other projects.

Park said that the average monthly salary in Pyongyang is 150 won ($67). Housing, medical care, food and education are free or provided at a nominal charge. The Seoul government puts the average monthly income of individual workers in South Korea at about $740.

The North lags far behind the South in industry and foreign trade, with Seoul joining Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan as the new economic dynamos of the Pacific Rim.

Foreign analysts put Pyongyangs foreign d^bt at about $4.2 billion and North Korea recently was declared in default of its overseas loans.

The Juche idea is the 76-year-old Kims guiding philosophy of political and economic self-reliance.

Universities, stadiums and squares are named after him. An impressive 65-foot bronze statue of Kim graces the Pyongyang city center. The country is dotted with buildings erected to celebrate his birthday (he was bom April 15,1912) or to mark his achievements.

At one model school shown to the visitors from Hong Kong, every classroom has a picture of Kim in a gold-colored frame. In a hotel in Kaesong, 80 miles southeast of Pyongyang, Kims picture is in every hotel room as well as the restaurant.

The Great Leader also is a constant companion in train and subway stations, as well as in train and subway cars.

Polands Communists Offer Plan For Elected Chamber

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WARSAW, Poland Communist authorities have drawn up a proposal for competitive elections to a new, second legislative chamber'in an attempt to break an impasse in Polands round-table negotiations, opposition sources said We^esday.

Under the new formula, laid out by irtv negotiators Tue^y in a special bargaining session, a powerful state president would preside over the national assembly, which would be divided into the present Sejm, or lower house, controlled by the party and its allies, and a new senate.

Official negotiators said the Senate would be selected by what they labeled free elections" in the coming months. Under one variant, each of Polands 50 provinces would elect two senators. Although opposition sources said they were not confident the proposed balloti^ would be open, they said authorities had accepted the idea of a competition that could result in an overwhelming noncommunist majority in the new

My.

agreed by the two sides, the change would represent a radical shake-up in Polands political system that would strengthen the role of government over that of the party and provide a framework for general democratic elections eventually.

Opposition negotiators said the party was prepared to make a ver

bal commitment that the next set of elections following the upcoming vote to the two houses would be freely competitive. Those elections are expect^ to take place in the mid 1990s.

Officials stressed that the proposal, which is to be presented to the round table Thursday, had not yet been spelled out or agreed on in detail. Negotiators were meeting informally Wednesday to discuss such crucial questions as what powers the new senate and president would have and how the senate election would be regulated. Under the official proposal, the new president, to be selected by the party, would have sweeping powers, while the senate would be weak.

Despite the uncertainty, both government and opposition activists expressed optimism that the roundtable process was again headed toward a major political agreement, breaking a near iippasse that had built up in recent aays. We had reached a blockade on a number of issues," said Piotr Knopka, a spdcesman for the Solidarity labor union. Now the other side has ex-the will to break that ckade, so that we can move forward.

In a new gesture to the opposition, authorities Wednesday allowed thousands of students to stage a march through the center of Warsaw to honor the anniversary of 1968 student demonstrations. 'The peaceful march by same 5,000, including sup-

porters of Solidarity as well as militant groups, contrasted with street battles that erupted in Krakow 10 days ago when police tried to block a similar march.

The governments new proposal was laid out in talks Tuescfoy between Solidarity leader Lech Walesa, Interior Minister and chief party negotiator Czeslaw Kiszczak, and their top advisers. The meeting was the second in less than a week to seek grounds for compromise on key issues regarding the elections, which the authorities see as the necessary complement to the legalization of Solidarity.

A communique issued following the talks said the two sides had agreed that there were conditions for further rapprochement" on the key issues of dialogue." It added that the talks would conclude on schedule March 20, following which a final plenary session would be held April 3 to sign the completed agreement.

In addition to the new election proposals. Solidarity negotiators saia Wednesday that authorities appeared ready to show more flexibility in other areas where agreement had been blocked.

Da Yoopers Band Flourishes In World Of Novelty Music

By Paige St. John

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

isHPEMING, Mich. - The telephone lines have been jammed for weeks in this tiny town on Iffichigans northern coast, as Americans elsewhere discover swampers, (Jeer camps and people called Yoopers.

Theyre calling up to talk to a certain Yooper, Jimmy DeCaire, or to (Tier tapes from his band. Da Yoi^rs. There were so many calls to DeCaires house deep in the snowy woods by Lake Superior last month that the circuits gave up and I^KHies rang willy-nilly around town.

Dentists were getti^ called. Little old ladies were getting called at 2 in the morning. Theyre ready to bum me in effi^. Its the biggest thing in Ishpeming since the high school burned down, DeCaire said.

Welcome, Ishpeming tiny town among the pines and swamps of Michigans Upper Peninsula. Welcome to the wor d of novelty music.

The songs that jammed Ishpem-ings phone lines wont show up on BiUboard charts or in record store bins, but they and others like them are flourishing in gas stations and on radio shows across the United States.

Novelty music is a do-it-yourself business. Da Yoopers record in DeCaires basement and distribute their comic songs, four mailbags a day, from DeCaires dining room.

They exist in a kind of underground way, says Barry Hansen, who re^arly sheds his quiet demeanor to become the king (rf ko(^y music. Dr. Demento, in Los Angeles.

Bbnsen relied on old standbys such as Spike Jones when he started broadcasting his Dr. Demento radio show in the early 1970s. Now, he said, he receives up to 150 new tapes a week from would-be wackos who want air time on the 85 stations that broadcast the doctors nationally syndicated show.

' Underground music is flourishing.

' Not-so-underground has been the appeal of Da Yoopers, named after the people of Michigans Upper Peninsula, a.k.a. the U.P.

,One Da Yoopers tune reached the <^t-coveted Funny Five status, tiding out at No. 1 on Dr. Demento. It has had similar ranking on more conventional radio shows, including ^ Satellite Music Networks Pure ^Id program, a show out of Dallas that reaches more than 160 stations. The song is called Second Week it Deer Camp, and the flan-niel-shirted Da Yoopers sing it to a polka beat in the Finnish accent of e fishermen and lumbermen from their native North:

Its da second week of deer camp, and all da guys are here. We drink, play cards and shoot da bull, but never shoot no deer. De only time we leave da camp is when we go for beer.

TTie sound is local. The appeal is universal.

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

NEW YORK - Saying that they do not think the TV and film industries can take another Icmg strike like the one that hit Hollywood last year, two major performers unions said Wednesday that they will propose a bare-bones contract package well before negotiations are to begin.

The proposal to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers will be sent Thursday, one union official said, with the next step a request that both sides meet next we^ in Los Angeles.

That would be two months before the scheduled May 15 start of contract talks between the alliance and the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The current pacts expire June 30.

If both sides agree on the early, seven-point proposal, thats it, weve got a contract for three years, said John C. Hall, executive director of the federation.

The alliance, representing the major studios, film and TV producers and the three major television networks, had no comment on the unions plans for an early contract proposal, a sp(^esman said.

Tlie unions move comes with memories stUl fresh from last summers 22-we^ Writers Guild strike that halted nearly all film and prime-time TV production and delayed the start of the networks fall season until late-October. The netwoiks and studios have stepped up production schedules to get as much work finished before June 30 as they can.

Everybody seems to be reeling from the possibility of another strike, Hall said. But were trying to avoid any work stoppage at all.... Its not in our interest to stop the work.

Were there to be protracted negotiations, he added, things could get out of hand. To avoid that, lets get down to the meat of the situation apd try to do someiing statesmanlike for a change.

The federations jurisdiction covers taped and live broadcast performances, while the guild covers film performances.

What the unions call their limited package of proposals covers seven

Oh, theyre great! exclaimed Frank George, a DJ for WCHS radio, a counby music station in Charleston, W.Va. In fact. Ive got their tape in my hand right now.

Second Week of Deer Camp outdid everything else on the WCHS request line for weeks, George said. Thats npt surprising in West Virginia, where schools, factories, even a trash pickup service, shut

down for deer season so the population can go hunting.

Da Yoopers other hit, Rusty Chevrolet, has evoked a similar grass-roots response. To the tune of Jingle Bells, Rusty Chevrolet is a diatribe about one mans decrepit automobile:

Oh, rust and smoke, the heaters broke, the door just blew away. I light a match to see the dash, and then I start to pray. The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio, its OK. Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet.

The whole idea is not to open up the entire contract point by point, which would mean two or three months of negotiation, said Mark Locher, a guUd spiAesman. The idea is to have a very simple, very limited package on both sides, make a trade, si^ a deal and avoid the whole traditional negotiation process.

Cowboy Singer Stuart Hamblen Dies

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Stuart Hamblen, a singing cowboy star in an era when there were but a few of them riding the range, died here early Wednesday at St. Johns Hospital and Health Center.

A recovered alcoholic who abandoned booze but not broadcasting after a tent-show conversion by Billy Graham, Hamblen was 80 and had lapsed into a coma after surge^ Feb. 28 to remove a malignant brain tumor, said Armen Markarian, a hospital spokesman.

Itemblen has arguably been credited with being radios first singing cowboy. But if he wasnt its first, he certainly was its most colorful.

He was as well known for his tall stories as he was his songs (This Old House, It Is No Secret What God Can Do and Remember Me, Im the One Who Loves You.)

The son of a Methodist minister, Hamblen was bom in Kellyville, Texas, on Oct. 26,1908. He began his career in 1926 when he was 18 fter winning a talent contest in Dallas. With the $50 prize, he headed for Camden, N.J., where he recorded with the forerunner of RCA Victor Recording.

He arrived in Hollywood in 1928 and for the next 22 years was at the top of the oountry-westera field, first as Cowboy Joe, then as a member of the original Beverly Hillbillies, radios first Western singing group, and later as host of such programs as Covered Wagon Jubilee, King

Cowboy and his Woolly West Review and Stuart Hamblen and His Lucky Stars. '

During the 1930s and 1940s, Hamblen appeared in a number of low-budget westerns, usually as the villain, with Jdm Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Bob Steele and other cowboy stars.

Newspaper clippings also reflect other credits: arrests for speeding, resisting arrest, ignoring traffic tickets even pleamng no cimtest to drunk driving in 1965, 13 ears after he ran as a Prohibition arty candidate for president.

They also said they would give producers revisions that the latter seek (Ml residual fees paid performers for one-hour network series when the shows go into syndication.

In return, me unions are requesting a 4 percent-a-year minimum wage increase for each year of the new contract; a boost in residual payments for shows that air on cable TV after their showings on so-called free TV, and a single residual payment 35 percent of actors minimum compensation for foreign sales of hour-long American network TV series.

The unions West Coast board of directors unanimously approved the proposal Monday night in Los Angeles, and the East Coast directors were expected to follow suit here Wednesday night.

If the alliance is willing to meet next week. Hall said, then we go in and say, .OK do you accept it?

But if the replv is no, he said, then we go back to the drawing boards and come up with a whole Encyclopedia Britannica of proposals, and then we sit down on May 15 and start bargaining.

The two unions, which by one officials estimate represent a total of 100,000 members, last struck film and prime-time network entertainment producers in 1980. The walkout lasted 12 weeks and, like the much longer writers strike last summer, also delayed the start erf the networks new television season that year.

In addition to the film and primetime TV proposals their executives soon will make, federation members also are awaiting the outcome of

Opening lead: King of.9 Sometimes it is easy to spot the extra chance that could make the difference between success and failure at a contract. Other times, how

ever, the winning line can' be concealed deep in a tangled forest. Can you spot where it is on this hand?

Most players in the modem style do not mind opening one no tmmp with a weak doubleton and a five-card major. West did just that and South, looking at a four-loser hand, elected to gamble on finding something of value with partner. Admittedly he bid his hand to the hilt, but he really had no good alternative.

Against four hearts, West led the king of spades and, when partner followed with the three, chose to shift to the king of diamonds. It might seem that the fate of the contract hinged on finding East with the king of clubs. If that were indeed the case, declarer was faced with a lost cause, because West virtually had to have that Card for his no trump opener.

But the dummy hand had an unlikely resource that declarer was

able to exploitthe spade suit! He took his ace of diamonds and crossed to the table with a low tmmp to the eight. Next came the jack of spades, on which declarer sluffed his losing diamond instead of mffing. When West won this trick with the queen, declarer could claim his contract.

South mffed the diamond continuation, returned to the table with the ten of tmmps, in the process extracting the last of the enemy fangs, and led the ten of spades, discarding a club from hand. In

with the ace of spades. West was helpless. Dununys nine of spades was established and there was still a trump as an entry so that declarer could discard the queen of club9. All he lost was three spade tricks!

Quayle Visit Has Little Effect On Rights Abuses

Pakistani Welcome

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and Pakistani Prime Minister Benzir Bhutto are surrounded by children in Islamabad on Wednesday. Arafat laid the cornerstone for a Palestinian embassy in Pakistan, the first country to recognize the independent Palestinian state he declared last November.

By Kenneth Freed

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

SAN SALVADOR. El Salvador -Vice President Dan Quayles visit here last month to demand that the government end human rights violations or face the loss of U.S. aid has had almost no impact, and the number of abuses has actually increased, according to diplomats and human rights groups.

Although pressure from Quayle for action in one case has resulted in movement in that single instance, figures compiled by human rights organizations show that since Quayle delivered his warning Feb. 3, killings attributed to right-wing death squads and the military have occurred at the rate of 20 a month.

In the month before the vice presidents trip, the number of killings attributed to death squads and the military was eight, less than half the 20 killings recorded after Quayle said that the United States expects them (the Salvadoran military) to

Japan Denies Link To Libyan Plant

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO The government today denied reports that a Japanese manufacturer in line to make a new version of the F-16 fighter Jet was involved in construction of what Washington says is a Libyan chemical weapons plant.

I have said in this forum again ^ and again that we have made a thorough study on this problem. ... f We found that there was no evidence that Japanese companies have been ^ involved in this project, said ! Foreign Ministry spokesman Taizo . Watanabe.

I can now confirm that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has never T been engaged in the export of equipment or dispatch of engineers - as reported in The Detroit News. Watanabe added, r The Detroit News on Wednesday

quoted unnamed U.S. congressional , and Defense Department sources as saying they had been told of Mitsubishis alleged participation in the Libyan project by intelligence sources in Washington. Kyodo News Service carried a similar report today.

Mitsubishi; in a news conference today, also denied the reports.

The reports said intelligence sources , had told a closed-door session of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that 50 Japanese technicians and engineers were at a chemical complex in the desert south of the Libyan capital of Tripoli to install metal-machining equipment used to make bomb ^ canisters for poison gas.

Libya denies the plant is for making chemical weapons, saying that it is a pharmaceuticals factorv.

On Wednesday, State Department spokesman Charles Redman said the department had no evidence Mitsubishi had helped to install equipment at the plant.

Watanabe said Japan had conveyed its findings to Washington through regular communications channels.

From the statement made by Mr. Redman, I take it they have accepted our information, he said.

He then read a statement that said:

Through the exchange of information l^tween the U.S. government and Japan, the following views are fully shared by the two governments:

According to the investigation of the government of Japan so far, there is no information indicating that Japanese firms were involved in Libyas production of chemical

weapons agents and its facilities.

The Kyodo re{wrt said the allegations against Mitsubishi were expected to spur corigressional moves to persuade the U.S. government to scrap a plan for General Dynamics to provide (Mitsubishi) with high technology to build Japans new fighter jet, called the FSX, a version of the U.S. F-16.

Mitsubishi is involved in a proposed joint venture with the United States to build the plane. The venture was negotiated during the Reagan administration and is now under review by the Bush administration.

White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater on Wednesday declined to cbmment directly on the reports about Mitsubishi and said President Bush had not yet made a final decision on the FSX project.

U.S. Grants Visas To Three PLO OfficialsLAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration issued visas Wednesday ' permitting three Palestine Libera-tion Organization officials to attend weekend meetings at Columbia Uni-r versity with Israeli doves, including ^ members of the Knesset or parlia-' ment.

r. State Department spokesman ^ Charles Redman said that the ad-!: ministration waived a 15-vear-old

law banning PLO members from U.S. visits because none of the three officials Nabil Shath, Afif Safiyah and Noha Nicholas Tadros had personal involvement in terrorist activity.

But the administration, at the same time, refused to let the mayors of Managua, Panama City and Havana attend an international drug abuse conference in New York sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Redman said that those

visa requests were rejected because Nicaragua, Panama and Cuba have not cooperated with U.S.-backed narcotics control programs.

Organizers of the Columbia University meeting hope that it will pave the way for negotiations between Israel and the PLO, though the session will be attended primarily by moderates who have long favored such a dialogue. Hard-liners on both sides will not be included.

Previously, the administration

issued a visa to Faisal Husseini, director of the Arab Study Center in Jerusalem who was recently released from 18 months administrative detention by Israeli authorities. They had accpsed him of illegal activities on the PLOs behalf.

Israeli representatives at the conference include Shulamit Aloni and Yair Tsaban, leftist Knesset members. Also included is Yehoshaphat Harkabi, a former chief of Israels military intelligence service.

work toward the elimination of human rights violations.

The only success - and many diplomats are still skeptical that anyone will actually be punished has come in the case of the so-called San Sabastian massacre of Sept. 21, in which members of the armys 5th Brigade allegedly killed 10 civilians suspected of supporting the Marxist rebel organization, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front.

After the U.S. Embassy here became convinced that the army had covered up the direct responsibility of senior officers for the killings, Quayle was asked to pressure the military. He arrived with the names of three army officers, all members of the 5th Brigade, and said that action had to be taken against them.

The three were Col. Jose Emilio Chavez Caceres, the brigades commander; Maj. Mauricio de Jesus Beltran, brigade intelligence chief, and the officer in charge of the San Sebastian operation, known only asLt. Vasquez.

Quayle adopted a tactic used in 1983 by George Bush, who was then vice president. Bush came here with a list of nine names of people that he said were responsible for many of the human rights violations by death squads and the military. Bushs trip is credited by many Salvadoran and foreign officials with moderating the human rights abuse of that period.

Quayle met privately with military leaders, told them of his concern, and then handed a sealed envelope containing the three names to U.S. Ambassador William Walker, who passed it on to the minister of defense, Gen. Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova.

Sources close to the military high

command said that Vides Casanova and other officers were outraged at what they felt was unacceptable interference in their affairs. Yet they heeded the warning that a lack of action would endanger the $430 million a year that El ^Ivador receives from the United States.

As a result, Chavez Caceres has been suspended as 5th Brigade commander and brought to the capital, though he is not under arrest. Beltran and Vasquez are being held at military installations in San Salvador, as is a fourth officer, a Lt. Galvez, who was a platoon commander during the San Sabastian operation.

Sources cl(e to the military say that the action in the San Sabastian case is little more than a sop to pacify the United States, and that Quayles message is being largely disregarded.

There has been no progress in several other prominent human rights cases on which the United States had demanded action, including the killing of four U.S. Marines.

According to Tutela Legal, the human rights office of the Catholic Church here, and several Western diplomats, the overall Salvadoran record is bleak. Even,dipIomats who are critical of Tutela Legal, and who ti7 to minimize the human rights situation, acknowledge that Quayles visit doesnt appear to have Had any effect.

U.S. officials acknowledge that no Salvadoran military officer has been convicted of a crime since 1979. A European diplomat said that if there is any public attempt to punish (the officers in the San Sabastian incident), it will cause a military reaction.

Refugee Children End Hunger Strike

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

SCHOTTEN, West Germany A group of 20 Iranian refugee children ended a nearly week-long hunger strike here Wednesday after West German authorities promised to review a plan to separate them.

Officials in this town north of Frankfurt said the children, aged 5 to 16, began accepting food again after the date set for deciding whether to split them up was postponed until March 28.

Local authorities had been expected to rule next Monday on a plan to separate the children in line with a quota system for asylum-seekers and send them to other states around the country.

Uwe Berlinghoff, a spokesman for the Social Ministry in the state of Hesse, said it was hoped to find a solution to the problem by Easter.

After distributing leaflets in the town protesting the move, the children made up their minds to go on a hunger strike last Friday.

Berlinghoff said state authorities were adamant that they could not accept all the children. More than 660 refugee children have arrived in Hesse this year.
