John Devitt gives behind>the-scene support to The Wall

Viet Vet Puts Heart In Wall

.By Carol Tyer

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Truly, John Devitt is the Man Behind The Moving Wall.

Thats where I met this reluctantly famous Vietnam War veteran. As we were introduced, Devitt stood hard at work on the Greenville Town Common, his back to the Tar River. He nodded toward me and murmured, Hello, as he continued to tighten a bolt at a junction of two panels of the 250-foot expanse.

It was early Thursday afternoon. Hed arrived in Greenville Wednesday night, having driven a truck loaded with Wall panels, from Ocala, Fla. There, last week, an estimated 120,000 people had viewed The Moving Wall.

Thursday he was laboring along with th eastern North Carolina sponsors, members of the George Semick Chapter No. 272 of the Vietnam Veterans of America, to have everything in place by Friday at 8 a.m. Then a seven-day, 24-hour-a-day viewing of the replica of The Wall component of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D C., would begin here.

I gathered from Devitts demeanor and his attire that he, likes being behind the scenes. He makes himself as invisible as possible. .'Iliursday he garbed his lean frame in a Wack POW-MIA T-shirt and faded jeans. He shaded his face under the biO of black cap given him by the Vietnam veterans of East Tennessee. His hair is shiny black and hangs in a braid over one shoulder and a black beard hides the portion of his face that isnt shaded by his hat.

. But for all his deliberate unobtrusiveness, he is not aloof. Indeed, with no introductions beyond names, with no comparing of notes on how Viet-ham impacted each of us, he and I quickly established rapport. Soon he was sitting on the grass with me, unhurriedly answering my questions about how he conceived, constructed and conveys this monument to the dead of our war.

As we talked, his preparatory work not quite finished, visitors were already arriving. Our view of them was blocked, but we knew that many,

Surging Crowd Crushes 93 Fans

. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHEFFIELD, England Crowds surging against a steel anti-riot fence in a packed soccer stadium crushed 93 fans to death and injured at least 200 Saturday in Britains worst sports disaster, police said.

Most of the dead, some of wh(n were trampled after the fence collapsed, were teen-agers and children, ambulance official Michael* Bwcesaid.

'The crush appeared to be a result (rf overcrowding. Reports said hundreds of fans without tickets poured through a turnstile gate behind one of the goals, crushing th(^ at the front.

it seemed as if it was four deep

in dead bodies with people climbing over them, said a survivor, 22-year-old Stuart McGeagh.

The death toll of 93 was the second-highest ever among crowds watching soccer, the worlds favorite spectator sport and one that (rften sparks fatal accidents among its followers.

The disaster on a sunny spring day added to the deadly image that has attached itself in recent years to soccer in Britain, which invented the game niore than a century ago.

The disaster occurred at Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield, 150 .miles north of London, in the opening minutes of the English F.A. Cup semifinal between leading (See CROWDED, A-16)

Hunt For Killer Turns Up Bodies

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLEN ELLEN, Calif. -Authorities searching Saturday for a winery worker accused of killing his wife, three of her relatives and a co-worker found the bodies of two children believed to be the mans daughters.

The bodies were discovered at a landfill transfer station in Californias wine country, not far from where Ramon Salcido, 28, fled Friday Mth his daughters, Teresa,'2; Carmina, 3, and Sofia, 4, authorities said.

A third child was taken lo Petaluma Valley Hospital in Petaluma in serious condition, said Sonoma County Sheriffs Lt. Gary Zanolini. He said she is being prepared for surgery, but the hospital refill to give any informatiwi on her injuries.

The information we have is they found three kids believed to be the Salcido kids. Two dead, one alive, said California Highway Patrol Sgt. Fred Blundell.

The highway patrol made the discovery shortly before 3 p.m. when it was called to the landfill transfer station between Petaluma and Sonoma, Blundell said. There was no immediate sign of Salcido, authorities said.

It was unknown how the two other girls died, Zanolini said.

Fridays attacks oh Salcidos two sisters-in-law, 8 and 12, in which both were sexually assaulted and one was nearly decapitated, had heightened fears for his daughters, who vanished from the house where his wife was slain.

Police helicopters searched the

C wine country north of San isco. Lawmen over most of this 1,000-mile-long state were on alert for Salcido, whose lO-year-old car was discovered abandoned 20 miles south in San Rafael.

Investigators received hundreds of calls from people who claimed to have seen the burly, black-haired Salcido everywhere from Sonoma (bounty to Los Angeles, 400 miles to thes(Mith.

Authorities on Friday found the battered and slashed bodies of Salcidos mother-in-law. Marian Louise Richards, 47, and her children, Marie, 8, and Ruth, 12, inside ieir blood-splattered house in Cotati.

Its a butcher shop in there, a policeman said after emerging from _Jhe neat, pale yellow htime in a' well-tended middle-class neighbor,-hood.

At the ranch of a prominent grower,' Salcido wounded Kenneth Butti in the shoulder, said Sonoma County Sheriff Richard Michaelsen. Butti. 33, worked with Salcido, a forklift

Insurance sometimes, heres

- No Way To Collect

By John Bare

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Picture this: Youre waiting at an intersection, and the stoplight turns green. As you pull out to make a left turn, someone runs a red light and smashes into your car. To your surprise, the other persons insurance company says they will not pay for your damages or injuries because you contributed to the accident by not looking to see if any cars were running the red light.

Under North Carolinas contributory negligence insurance law, that could happen. In the existing system, if an insurance company

can show someone is at least 1 percent at fault, then the person may be denied any award for damages.

The potential for similar situations is one reason why a group in the state House of Representatives introduced a bill last week calling, for the state to change its system to comparative fault, under which a jury would decide what role each party played in the accident and allocate awards accordingly.

For example, under comparable fault, if the jury determined that the

damage was $100,000 and the defendant was found to be 80 percent responsible for causing the accident, then the victim would receive $80,000 in damages.

The battle over whether the state should operate under a contribuhM^ or comparative fault system is smrt of a running feud; a bill calling for the switch failed to pass a House vote two years ago, and the insurance industry and lawyers who

Faulkner Says No To Med Area Study

By Greg Laudick

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The chairman f a group which examined land uses in the Medical District has declined an offer to head a resurrected version of that committee.

Janice Faulkner, who in 1985 chaired the Medical District Land Use Study Committee, has sent a letter to Mayor Pro-Tern Lorraine Shinn declining the council invitation, while commenting that it is highly unlikely that the committee

can be re-established as it was originally appointed.

Ms. Faulkners comments follow a Greenville City Council decision on Monday to resurrect the original 1985 committee which studied land uses in the area near Pitt County Memorial Hospital.

The committee was originally f' med to develop a plan for creating orderly development of the area surroundiik the regional health care center. The plan which the committee subsequently devised

Mubarak Axes Defense Minister

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO, Egypt President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday removed Defense Minister Abdel-Halim Abu-Ghazala, who was viewed as the governments No. 2 man, and named him to a largely ceremonial post.

The government described the transfer of Abu-Ghazala to the assistant presidency as a promotion, but diplomats said it was a demotion. They said it underscored Mubaraks control of the government.

The post of assistant president, now vacant, has been largely ceremonial.

Abu-Ghazala helped develop Egypts strong ties with the United States. The development took U.S. officials here by surprise, but one Western diplomat said it should not hurt U.S.-Egyptian relations.

I understand theyre in a frenzy,^ he said of U.S. officials, but I wouldnt have thought that the passing of Abu-Ghazala should necessarily worry the Americans.

Hes very pro-American, but there are a lot of people like that in the Egyptian forces, the diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The countrys political system is closer to democracy than that of almost any other Arab state, but it maintains ^uilibrium through the use of police and military force. Many people have assumed Mubarak relied on the army and generals like Abu-Ghazala as a prop for his authority.

I suppose the main significance is that Mubarak felt strong enough to do it. He very clearly must have had the backing of the armed forces, the diplomat said.

The U.S. Embassy staff had no inmediate reaction.

The ambassador added that he ha'd long heard rumors that Mubarak was unhappy with Abu-Glcizalas personal and professional ethical standards.

But Abu-Ghazala, a 59-year-old with five children, is reported to have taken a second wife, less than half the age of his first after a public courtship that scandalized some Eygptians, according to government and diplomatic sources. Moslems may take up to four wives.

In addition. Westerners who do business with the Defense Ministry also speak of significant corruption.

The last assistant president was former Prime Minister Mamdouh Salem. He died three years ago, and the position has been vacant since then.

The post is serrate from the vice presidency, which is also vacant. The country has had no vice president since Mubarak succeeded assassinated President Anwar Sadat in October 1981. Mubarak served as vice president to Sadat from 1975 until the assassination.

In the last few years, there have been frequent reports and speculation that Mubarak would promote Abu-Ghazala to vice president. Abu-Ghazala denied the reports.

The Defense Ministry, which Abu-Ghazala headed for eight years, will now be operated by Maj. Gen. Youssef Sabry Abu-Taleb, 60, who ran Cairos government for six years as governor.

Mubarak announced the two appointments in decrees and immediately swore in the two men to their new posts Saturday.

Afterward, Prime Minister Atef Sedki told reporters only that Mubarak needs at his side someone to help him in the huge tasks that he has to discharge.

However, government sources pointed out that Abu-Taleb, not Abu-Ghazala, accompanied Mubarak on a trip to Jordan on Wednesday to discuss with King Hussein his upcoming U.S. trip. The sources said Abu-Ghazala was removed from the delegation at the last minute.

operator, at Grand Cru Winery.

Sheriffs deputies went to the winery, where they found assistant winemaker Tracey Toovey alongside his car, dead of gunshot wounds.

Deputies went to Boyes Hot Springs and found Salcidos wife, Angela, 24, who apparently had been beaten and stabbed to death, Michaelsen said.

Michaelsen said the bloodbath could have been triggered by a child support case that came to a head last week. Salcido was ordered to jy $511 a month to his ex-w'ife, [)ra Ann Salcido, and nearly $6,000 in back payments.

Ms. Salcido was under police protection Saturday, authorities said

A next-door neighbor said Salcido

was fiercely jealous and habitually drove home from his job during the day to spy on his wife.

Hes crazy, he was always going around with a gun, said Richard Clark. "I could see it coming.

One time he threatened to blow (his wifes) head off, Clark said. He said if he found someone... with his wife hed kill them. He was real jealous. He drank a lot. Two or three times a day he would come home from the winery to see if someone was with his wife.

Dismissal

GOLDSBORO (AP) - A charge of first-degree murder has been dismissed in Wayne County Superior Court in the case of a Wayne County woman accused of the 1987 shooting death of her husband.

Theresa Ann Brogden Lane, 24, of La Grange wept softly and sighed as Judge James H. Pou Bailey told the jury the state had not presented enough evidence to convict her. Mrs. Lane was charged with killing Kenneth Jerry Lane, 32, who was shot in the back in the early morning hours of Oct. 19,1987.

There were too many other people who could have killed Lane, Bailey said.

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE

BRAUNAU, Austria This pleasant town across the Inn River from the West German state of Bavaria has decidely mixed feelings about a monument established to commemorate the activities of its most famous native son.

The burghers are not quite sure how they want to commemorate Thursday, the 100th anniversary of the man who was born in ie three-story house at No. 15 Salzburg Vorstadt-Adolf Hitler.

Since the end of World War II, most Braunauers would just as soon forget that Hitler was born here in effect subscribing to the adage that Austria has managed to convince the world that German-born Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German. None of the tourist brochures describing the attractive community of 16,000 mentions the German dictator, who committed suicide in 1945 in his bunker in war-ravaged Berlin just 10 days after his 56th birthday.

But Hitler did come from here and Mayor Gerhard Skiba, a Socialist, has chosen to remind the world of that fact in a rather oblique way with a three-foot chunk of stone outside the house.

An inscription chiseled on the granite from the quarry at the former Mauthausen concentration camp mention^either Hitler nor the house but reads: For Peace,

Freedom and Democracy Never Again Fascism In Memory of the Millions of Dead.

Skiba said, As mayor, I have decided to erect a monument and reminder in front of Adolf Hitlers birthplace as a clear and open sign as to the way we in Braunau think about ie past and remember the victims of fascism.

The 20th of April was in the past, and is in the present, a date which brings with it a particular meaning for our city - through no fault of the citizens of Braunau.

Skiba said the text serves as a reminder, as a declaration and call to work against budding neo-Nazism and other obvious dangers to democracy.

Tournament Canceled

The Greenville Rotary Clubs charity golf tournament scheduled for Monday at Farmville Country Qub has been canceled due to heavy rains. It will be rescheduled in the fall.

But other citizens say that Skiba is calling undeserved attention to Braunaus past, and they worry that the monument itself will attract neo-Nazis from Austria and Germany. Harald Klinger, district commissioner for the Braunau area, has received reports that neo-Nazis and others sympathetic to Hitler will gather here on April 20 to demonstrate.

We will have to reckon with violence, Klinger said. We have to hope and pray no one gets killed. This could well be the last big anniversary here, but if there is a martyr we will have the same circus every year.

The stone memorial outside the house, which is now used as a craft school for handicapped children, has become a magnet for snapshot-taking tourists, who might otherwise not have noticed the building just 50 yards from the citys main square.

The irony is that, according to his-

torians. Hitler never much cared for his birthplace. The family left when he was 3, first to Passau in 1892 and then in 1895 to Linz, Which Hitler regarded as his home town. Hitler on several occasions said he remembered nothing about Braunau.

The dictator came back only once, with German troops who annexed Austria in 1938, and though the town staunchly supported the Anschluss, or union, with Germany and made him an honorary citizen. Hitler never returned.

Local historians point out that the name Schicklgruber, which British leader Winston Churchill, among others, used to call the Fuehrer, resulted because his maternal grandmother, Maria Ann Schicklgruber, bore a child out of wedlock who was later ^ven a stepuncles name and became Hitlers father, Alois Schicklgruber-Hitler.

Card of Thanks

The family of the late Mrs. Pearlle Chance Carr would like to thank each of you who showed how much you cared in standing by our side at the loss of our mother. We thank you for the many kind deeds, food, cards, flowers, prayers and your visits. Special thanks to St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church and Mt. Calvary FWB (Church. May God continue to bless you is our constant prayer.

Green, illuminated data on a computer screen has replaced the black typewritten references on an index card that once gave library patrons the information they needed on books and other items.

The Pitt Community College Learning Resources Center has established a computerized Public Access Catalog that provides the same information as the index cards did plus easier access to more data on similar topics, said Linda Leighty, the director of audio visual and media production services at the college. She coordinated the librarys automation.

Seven different methods may be used to find a book, and one word on the computer terminal will produce a complete list of materials in the library that relate to the topic or have the word in the title, she said.

It will be an improvement for the total program, said Dr. Barbara C. Clark, assistant dean of instruction for learning resources. One of the most important aspects as I see it is that well have ready access of the information that we have with very little effort. Its also very useful in guiding us in what we add to our collection.

Its really a good system and its really working well, Dr. Clark said.

Pamphlets, audiovisual materials and the PCC archives collection also are listed along with the books and, if items have been moved to a special location, that information appears on the screen, Ms. Leighty said.

If the item is checked out, the date it is due is noted and patrons may place a hold for that book by entering a command in the terminal. When the item is returned the barcode scann^ with a light pen will alert the circulation clerk to notify the person wanting the item.

The computerized system is being funded by a $250,000 grant being distributed to the college over a three-year period, Ms. Leighty said. The second year of funding, which will end Sept. 30, has provided for the cataloguing, circulation and access functions of the system.

Next year, the librarys acqusitions and records on vendors and shipments and its serials such as magazines and almanacs will be added to the computer system.

The software for the system is provided by Dynix, a library software vendor located in Provo, Utah, Sixteen of the states community colleges have purchased the software from Dynix, which has a total of 25 library installations in North Carolina, Dr. Clark said.

Having so many of the libraries in the community college system use the Dynix software helps us all, she said. We can share ideas with similar libraries to provide the best possible service to our patrons.

Converting the library from the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress system used with the computer has been an ongoing task, Ms. Leighty said.

Weve been working very hard everyday for a year and a half so its quite a while, she said.

The library has from 30,000 to 35,000 volumes, Ms. Leighty said. There is such a range in the figures because we are looking at each book carefully and were withdrawing a lot of the older materials.

Students have been using the computer system since the beginning of the spring quarter in March, Ms. Leighty said.

The systems only drawback is its sensitivity to a power failure or severe weather, she said. Were not completely lost when the system goes down but it is a problem.

The computer that drives the library system also is used for other com-puterizalon at the college and is located in the Vernon White Building. The wiring required between the buildings makes the system more vunerable to adverse weather, she said. A system to provide power through fiber optics is being considered.

The computer system is very easy to use, Ms. Leighty said. We have some instructions next to the computer, and help-screens explain what your choices are when searching for items,

Most students dont need help. said Lisa Driver, the coordinator of library services. But library staff will assist those who do need help with fce terminal, she said. ^

All residents 18 years or older in the community, in addition to the PCC students, have access to the library materials, Ms. Leighty said.

Behavior Modification Aids Weight Loss

A number of personal factors can interfere with any persons ability to lose wei^t For example, a person under stress at work may have a difncult time losing weight. Most of these people have a great deal of determination to succeed what they start a diet. But sooner or later, coping with workplace struggles is going to become more important than sticking to a dia. The best way to lose we^t and keep it off for dtis type of individual, dien, is to find new t^s of coping with job stress.

The International Congress on Obesity (ICO) recommends that behavior therapy or modification be included in any safe and credible approach to wei^t loss. C)ne guideline recommended by the ICO is to assess prior to starting a wei^t loss attemptdie psychological and social factors which can prevent a person from losing weight.

The Personalized Weight Loss Pro(ile'Questionnaire

Nutri/System has developed such a tool: The Personalized Weight Loss Profile" questionnaire.

Years of research at the University of Rochester have identified eight personality characteristics that are most likely to interfere with an individuals ability to lose weight. These personal factors have been incorporated into the Personalized Weight Loss Profile questionnaire.

Used exclusively in the The Nutn/System* Weight Loss Program, this questionnaire pinpoints the attitudes and behaviors which prevent people from reaching their ideal weight. Every client complaes a Personalized Weight Loss Profil^uestionnaire when . entering the Program. The answers help Nutri/System Behavior Breakthrough" Counselors identify and intervene in any obstacles to permanent weight control.

In a recent study, clients in Nutri/System Centers achieved nearly three times as much wei^t loss when the Personalized Weight Loss Profile questionnaire was used to assist in resolving their individual weight loss problems.

Nutri/System: Gomprehensive Weight Loss Program

The Council cm Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association recommends diree elements for successful weight control:

1. Nutritionally-balanced dia

2. Behavior modification

3. Exadse

"A prc^pram that incorporates all three (elements) is more likely to lead to longterm weight control, the AMA concludes. The Nutri/System Weight Loss Program, founded in 1971, is a comprehensive weight loss program that embraces all of the elements recommended by the AMA. The Nutri/Syston Weight Loss Program includes:

Nutriticm and Behavior Counseling

to provide encouragement and support and to help understand weight control problems with our exclusive Personalized Weight Loss Profile" Questionnaire and Behavior Breakthrough classes.

Delicious, low-calorie meals that are nutritionally balanced, low in fit, portion-controlled, and meet the high flavor and texture standards of our Flavor Set-Point Meal Plan.

Spring Break To Benefit Hospital

By Lane Dunn

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

The North Carolina Jaycees and the ECU Inter-fraternity Council will team up April 23 to raise money for the Childrens Hospital of Eastern North Carolina.

The two groups are the major supporters of Spring Break, which will be held at the Pitt County Fairgrounds. All proceeds of the event will be donated to the ChilHrpn*! Hosoital.

Spring Break will present a festive-type atmosphere including three bands and a bikini contest. Featured bands will be The Embers, The Eccentrics and The Bash. The winner of the bikini contest will be crowned Miss ECU Hawaiian Tropic and represent Greenville and ECU in Daytona Beach, Fla., in the national Miss Hawaiian Tropic contest.

Fifteen fraternities will each sponsor an entrant in the contest and contribute to a $500 pot for the winner.

In addition to music and the contest, concessions and various activities will be available.

Clifton Dixon, program chairman for the Jaycees, said, Its more than having fun. We want to help the Childrens Hospital, also.

Dixon said the Inter-Fraternity Council was instrumental in developing the project. Without the fraternities involvement this event would not have been possible, he said. The council purchased 1,000

advance tickets, which allowed the bands to be hired.

Dixon said that he hopes the event raises more than $10,000 for the Childrens Hospital.

Margaret Sullivan, coordinator of the Childrens Medical Network Telethon, said the Childrens Hospital is a division of Pitt County Me-mrial Hospital. She said the Childrens Hospital is made up of the neo-natal unit, the newborn nursery, the pediatric unit, the pediatric intensive care unit and the childrens rehabilitation unit.

She said the Childrens H(pital has been in operation for three years.

Ms. Sullivan said the money raised will be donated during the Childrens Medical Network Telethon in June on WITN-TV. She said the telethon is the major fundraising event for the Childrens Hospital. The money goes toward the purchase of special equipment.

Ms. Sullivan said that she hopes Spring Break will become an annual event. She said that she is pleased with effort of the sponsors and supporters. The efforts of those young people who have been working on the project are very commend-able,shesaid.

Spring Break will begin at noon and last until 6 p.m. The rain site is the New Greenville Warehouse.

The DaiJy Reflector/Shannon Wolfe^ Pamela Lull met with the Spinal Cord Injury Association during Greenville visit

Ms. Wheelchair Spreads Word Disabilities Can Be Overcome

By Carol Tyer THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Pamela Lull, Ms. Wheelchair North Carolina, visited in Greenville Thursday and Friday, speaking to and on behalf of citizens of this state with disabilities.

A Sylva resident, Mrs. Lull was crowned Miss Wheelchair North Carolina last fall in Charlotte. She said the contest in which she was this years state winner is open to any female 21 or older, single or married, who has lived in North Carolina for the previous year. The contestant must use a wheelchair for public mobility and be able and willing to speak for the disabled. She must demonstrate that having physical limitations does not make any individual any less effective as a person.

Mrs. Lull combines her academic endeavors at Western Carolina University with travel throughout the state as an advocate for the disabled. This summer she plans to compete in the Ms. Wheelchair U.S.A. pageant in Puerto Rico.

Accompanied by her husband Jonathan, she arrived arrived TTiursday afternoon and spoke first to the Spinal Cord Injury Association at the Regional Rehabilitation Center component of Pitt County Memorial Hospital. She is a paraplegic, the result of progressive spinal disease.

She was invited here by the Student Council for Exceptional

Children which is presided over by Julie Dawkins. Ms. Dawkins made the arrangements for Mrs. Lulls visit and met her Thursday evening during a talk before faculty and students of East Carolina University and the Adults with Mental Retardation Self-Advocacy Group.

A native of Bridgeport, Conn., Mrs. Lull moved to the mountains of North Carolina six years ago. She and her daughter, Tammy Vacanti, are both students at Western Carolina. She is pursuing a double major in therapeutic recreation and special education and has achieved a 3.6 grade point average so far.

Most of Friday, Ms. Lull and her husband attended the Pitt County Special Olympics field day events, where she was introduced to the crowd as Ms. Wheelchair North Carolina during opening ceremonies.

From Greenville, she and her husband were to travel to Wilmington, where she would appear this weekend in Azalea Festival activities.

Mre. Lull urged other women who are in wheelchairs to consider entering the Ms. Wheelchair North Carolina Pageant. She said the pageant is a project with the stated purpose of acquainting people with the productivity, dignity, attractiveness and value of women who must use wheelchairs. Anyone wishing more information may write to Ms. Wheelchair North Carolina Inc., 4907 Little Mountain Rd., Gastonia, N.C. 28054.

In addition to her Ms. Wheelchair work and her college work, Mrs. Lull participates in the Handicapped Organized Women and the Therapeuric Recreation Association, as a lecturer for the Association for Retarded Citizens and as a cofounder of Physically Challenged Inc. She also has worked in conjunction with the National Organization on Disability, the Disabled But Able to Vote, and the Bishops Committee on Accessibility for the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina.

Realtors Stress Fair Housing

With April being Fair Housing Month, the Greenville-Pitt County Board of Realtors is calling attention to the 21st anniversary of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Federal Fair Housing Law.

In 1968, Congress declared that discrimination in housing based upon race, color, religion or national origin is against the law. In 1974, Congress also prohibited discrimination based on sex.

The Greenville-Pitt County Board of Realtors supports Tittle VIII and the principles it embodies, said Marie Davis, president of the board.

Housing discrimination is an insult to the dignity of all Americans. The time has long since passed when a persons qualifications to own or rent property depend upon the color of their skin, their religion, their sex or their national origin, she said.

Recognizing that the enforcement of Title VIII had not been adequate. Congress amended the act in 1988 to prohibit discrimination against handicapped persons and families with children, and to authorize the federal government to bring cases against persons accused of disciminatory housing practices.

h H *"Steering in the right direction"

Ten years ago this month, TRW and the Greenville community made a commitment to each other. The community pledged to provide a nurturing environment, where a new business could grow and prosper. The company pledged to be a good place to work, where employees could grow and prosper. And so the new partnership began, on Greene Street, in April 1979.

Today, both partners have proved as good as their word. Greenville has provided a talented and reliable work force, dependable transportation facilities, excellent educational and health care systems, and other important amenities. TRW now provides nearly 300 jobs in an environment that"" promotes training and development, employee involvement,'^, and quality excellence. And this year, a new addition will increase the plants size by nearly 20,000 square feet. '

A good place to work, and a good city to call home. Together, weve shared 10 successful years. Were very happy together.

Happy Anniversary to us! And many more.TTT

(Continued from A-1)

defend the insurance companies Keep up support for the contributory system.

Their long-standing position is: someone who contributes to his own injury should not be able to collect from a person who was also involved. Also, opponents of the bill argue a comparative system will spark more and bigger claims, which will increase everyones insurance rates On the other side, accident victims, the N.C. Academy of Trial Lawyers and plaintiff attorneys would like to see a comparative fault system in place so that people who contribute only slightly to a wreck are not shut off from receiving compensation.

I think theres no question the . (state needs to switch), said Greenville attorney Charles Ellis. The reason is the same reason every time the bill has been set forth: If the victim is 1 percent at fault and the defendant is 99 percent at fault, the plaintiff is completely barred from recovering anything. Under a comparative fault system, it makes it more fair.

Ellis said the m(t convincing evidence that a comparative system is better is that most other states have

successfully adopted it.

Weve come closer and closer

each time to getting this thing passed. The best darned indication of the success its had in other states is that nobody who has changed to comparative fault has gone back to contributory.

Currently, the only way an at-j toraey may get around the con-

tributo^ barrier is if the defendant . was wilfully or grossly negligent,

Ellis said, and such cases are rare.

. State Insurance Commissioner Jim Long has not entered the fight. Spokesman Ed Bristol said Long will implement whatever system lawmakers approve

State Rep. Sharon A. Thompson, a Demwrat from Durham, is the principal sponsor of the new legislation. She is a lawyer who sometimes represents accident victims.

From my experience as an at-

torney, I think the bill is a question

of fairness. It is just unfair that a person who has been severely injured, under our present law, may not recover anything simply because

they might have been slightly negligent themselves, she said.

Its a hard bill to get passed. Weve tried many times. We just have to keep trying. Each time you educate a few more people. This time we have so many new people here we thought we give it a try.

You do have, as often is the case, a question of who can actually be down here to work on bills. You have all the businesses, particularly the insurance companies, who have many paid lobbies down here. On the other hand, there is not a particular group of automobile accident victims down here lobbying, Ms. Thompson said.

North Carolina is one of very few states in the country that still uses a contributory system, she said, and it creates several problems.

One, defendants sometimes use the law as a way to avoid paying claims, she said. Two, the possibility of receiving no financial award from a jury may pressure plaintiffs to accept a settlement that is lower than what they deserve, she said. Or, insurance companies may not make any settlement offer because they know the contributory negligence law is hanging over plaintiffs heads. Thus, the plaintiff is forced to undertake costly and lengthy litigation.

If the law was chang, I think we would see more settlements, Ms. Thompson said.

While there are measures in place to encourage settlements and discourage frivolous litigation, 'Greenville attorney Stephen R. ,Ward said the laws are not strong enough to prevent useless court actions.

Accident victims are often unpleasantly surprised to learn that the defendants insurance company is not willing to pay damages

has big bucks, and the second defendant is broke, the wealthier person will likely have to foot the entire $60,000 bill. The defendant who pays may take legal action against the other defendant to recover loses, but that means more litigation, and if the guy really has no money, none can be recovered.

For attorneys like Williams, the joint and several liability issue is a major sticking point.

Anybody whose got any blood, he

can draw it out. It simply creates inequities, he said. If hes only partially responsible for the damages... why should he have to pay the whole thing.

Ms. Thompson said the new bill does not call for any changes in the current joint and several liability law. While there is room for discus-, sion on the point, she said the aspect of law is also supported by many businesses and is an accepted method of recovering damages.

because they allege contributory negligence, Ms. Thompson said.

In particular, when it is very unfairly balanced. (When) someone gets hit in a front-end collision by a drunk driver who crossed the center line, and paralyzed someone, and they get told maybe (they) had one headlight out or something. (The defendant is) going to try and convince a jury the headlight caused the accident.

Even if a plaintiff is awarded damages, the insurance company may delay paying the benefits by appealing the decision, which puts more pressure on the plaintiff to accept a lower settlement. Ward said.

If the victim files a claim on his own collision insurance, his collision rates will likely rise, he said. The in-. surance company is supposed to readjust the collision rate if it wins a judgment from the opposing insurance firm, but Ward said the system is set up to the disadvantage of the consumer.

I think, in essence, the insurance lobby is stronger than the plaintiff bar lobby, he said.

The N.C. Association of Defense Attorneys, a statewide group of about 300 lawyers, has joined the insurance industry in supporting the current contributory system, said the groups president, Lonnie B. Williams Sr. of Wilmington.

Basically, the position of the association is contributory negligence has served the state well and constitutes the proper method of determining the rights of someone to collect damages, he said.

Defense attorneys said there are three main benefits to the existing system: juries understand it and are not burdened by assigning percentages of damage; it has worked well for hundreds of years, and it is a predictable system on which insurance companies can base their rates. The rates are determined by the estimated claims that will be paid.

A comparative fault system, defense attorneys contend, would cause an increase in insurance rates for everyone and create even more unfairness. If a person is only 5 percent responsible for someone elses accident and the victim is 95 percent responsible why should the defendant have to pay 5 percent of the damages, opponents of the bill argue.

That conflict cart be controlled in a comparative system by putting a limit on the ^rcent of fault the plaintiff may bear and still recover damages. Some states allow plaintiffs to recover part of the damages only if they were less than 50 percent at fault.

Plaintiff attorneys cite extreme examples of unfairness with the existing system, but Williams said juries help ensure justice. Anytime there is a one-sided case where a severely injured victim is only 1

percent at fault, juries will probably still award compensation, he said.

The next problem is more complicated. It deals with joint and several liability, which means when there is more than one defendant, they are liable as a group and individually. If a plaintiff wins a $60,000 judgment against two defendants, and the jury determines that defendant A is 5 percent at fault and defendant B is 55 percent at fault, the court does not prescribe how the damages should be paid.

(Continued from A-l) was submitted to the council and adopted in November 1986.

In her letter to Mayor Pro-Tern Shinn, Ms. Faulkner says the necessity to now reconsider the plan has arisen not from problems in the original document, but rather from inconsistencies in the citys commitment to its full implementation,

There have already been enough departures from its recommendations to close the window of opportunity for orderly and consistently high quality development upon which the plan was predicated, she has written. Any changes made by the original committee would appear to accommodate political pressure rather than sound planning philosophy.

She said the plan, which won an award for citizen planning from the N.C. Chapter of the American Planning Association, itself offers an option to recalling the original committee.

The first entry in the executive summary recommends the appointment of a permanent advisory committee charged with the authority to conduct regular studies on the development of the park; prepare a

total master plan and keep it current and to report its findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

If that committee could be appointed, it could review the recommendations in the study and make revisions based upon the patterns of development in the medical park, she said.

Ms. Faulkner also provides reasons why she believes the original committee can not be resurrected.

The original chairman, Dick Flye, resigned for reasons of ill-health; Charlie Berky has retired to Texas; Dick McGee has retired and. spends most of his time at the beach; Wes Hankins has been appointed to the city Planning Board, and Phil Dixon has created a potential conflict of interest because he represents clients who are property

Only Wayne Adams, Tom Baines and Dan Worthington are available and their circumstances might have changed since the plan was submitted to the council in 1986.

Ms. Faulkner said her current duties as staff director for the Vision 2007 project and as chairman of the Pitt-Greenville Chamber of Commerce Local Concerns Committee make participating on such a

resurrected committee a potential conflict of interest.

Although the plan was developed nearly four years ago, Ms. Faulkner says she still is in support of its conclusions.

Nothing has happened since that time to give me second thoughts about the validity of the recommendations contained in the report, she said. It was a good plan then, and it is a good plan now.

Wall Has Special Meaning To Viet Veteran

Storms Caused $95 Million In Damage

nadoes swept across the region, downing trees and power lines and

(Continued from A-1) some of whom had never been to the stationary Vietnam shrine in Washington, D.C., were already viewing this Wall. They were finding the names that denoted their specific losses, doing their own private remembering. Some took pictures. Some left mementoes. Virtually all were unaware of the man on the other side of the structure the man whose idea and whose ongoing contribution to Americans the Moving Wallis.

Thats the way John Devitt wants it.

He says he was a drifter from job to job, from community to community, from the time he got out of service in April 1969 until 1982. That was the year he attended the dedication of The Wall in Washington, D.C. He experienced there a healing of his spirit that he had not found in years of seeking counsel and consolation before. He went home to San Jose, Calif., with a burning desire to bring something of equal healing value to his own community.

Two friends Gerry Haver and Norris Shears caught the spirit of his dream and joined him. Together the three came up with the idea of building a replica of The Wall that could be seen by people in places far from the U.S. capital.

Devitt was into photography at the time and first tried a large photographic reproductions of a .Wall panel. That didnt work and he then came up with the plan to use silk-screening, a process excelled at by Norris.

Jan Scruggs, president of the Memorial Fund in Washington, loaned him negatives that had been used to make photo stencils for the granite structure.

The project was begun with $2,500 of their own money. Devitt moved out of his apartment and into his car to allow himself the financial freedom to devote himself full-time to the project.

Eventually, during their sometimes faltering efforts to interest the public in their project, the men approached the San'Jose City Council about endorsing the project. They came away, not only with an endorsement, but with $16,000 and a promise from the city to have The Moving Wall - whenever it stops traveling - be maintained and displayed in the citys rose garden.

.; Devitt said, when he and his friends began, he thought the silk-screen-; dng work would take a couple of months at best. It took a couple of years.

The Moving Walls debut was made in Tyler, Texas, during the East ..Texas Rose Festival of October 1984. Its creators finished before it was promised to be shown there and Devitt and Haver drove it there, not yet knowing how they were going to get it to stand up. They picked up Havers brother Rex. also a Vietnam veteran troubled by the war, en route and took him along.

That few days in Tyler changed Rexs life dramatically, Devitt reniembers. Seeing The Moving Wall put together for the first time and seeing Rexs reaction, I knew it was going to work for the purpose that had kept us working on it so long.

After the Texas exposure, invitations for Moving Wall visits poured in. And Devitt found himself first in California, then in Alaska gradually all over the nation. By now, he and his friends have built a second wall, and both are froin city-to-city constantly. His only regret is that he cannot . travel himself with both. The only part of the country he hasnt visited . with The Moving Wall is New England. He plans to be there this fall.

How much does Devitt interact with the sponsoring groups and the visitors to the Moving Wall in each city? I just do whatever feels right at I each place, he said. I never stay in peoples homes, but I sometimes ^ accept invitations to meals and I sometimes visit groups. In Alaska, a

93-year-old woman summoned me over to her car and asked me if Id visit her senior citizens group. I almost said no. Am I ever glad I didnt. The pwple in that group turned out to be some of the toughest, most interesting old pioneers youd ever meet. It was great!

Devitt was a helicopter gunner who served during the Tet Offensive of February 1968. He was based first in Quang 'fri Province a few miles south of the Demilitarized Zone and later flew relief to Marines besieged for77daysatKheSanh.

Asked if he, like so many other Vietnam veterans, has his own special person who epitomizes the sadness and the waste of the war for him, he answered affirmatively.

He said he always believed that his platoon leader. First Lt. Stephen Babuljak, would survive the war, no matter what. He was a great guy, he said, who always ran interference between me and the CO.

When Babuljak got killed, he said, something within him died and stayed dead a long time. After that, he said, I felt sure Id die over there, too.

But I didnt.

The Moving Wall, he said, has renewed meaning in his life. After the war, he said, I was convinced Id never amount to anything. But here I am seeing my work mean something to thousands of people.

Asked the size of the largest crowd hes seen visit the wall during one stay in a particular area, he said. They said that between 250,000 and 300,000 people came out to see it in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. That may be the record.

In Reynoldsburg, he said, Id go out to The Wall at all hours. Even at 3 oclock in the morning thered be 30 people there. It was great!

ATLANTA (AP) -Thunderstorms and tornadoes that ravaged the South early this month caused $40 milli(Hi in insured property damage m Georgia, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

Bill Davis, a spokesman for the institute, said storms April 3 throu^ April 5 did $95 million damage in seven states.

Heavy rains, high winds and tor-

lifting roofs and mobile homes.

llie storms did $25 million in damage in Alabama, $10 million in Arkansas, $7 million in South Carolina, $5 million in both Indiana and Mississippi and $3 million in Illinois, Davis said, adding that the institutes estimate is conservative because it includes only damage to insured property.

Items Taken From Center

Greenville police say several items were reported stolen from the Learning Tree Day Care Center in Greenville over the w^kend.

Officer A.G. Lloyd kid a breaking and entering and larceny was reported at the day care center Saturday at 8:55 a.m. Intruders entered the building by removing the deadbolt lock from the door, he said. Once inside, the intruders cut the phone wires and removed a microwave oven, a refrigerator, a radio-cassette player and speakers.

Officer E.L. Butts said a breaking and entering and larceny was reported Saturday at 11:52 a.m. at 1530 S. Evans St. Someone gained entry by kicking in a rear door, he said. Two two telephone answering machines, two computer telephones, a calculator, a television set, a radio and an umbrella were reported taken.

Officer C.A. Walker said damage to real property was reported Saturday at 9:50 a.m. at Cox Electronics on 2313 S. Memorial Drive. Business telephone wires outside the building were cut, he said.

Officer R.C. Allsbrook said a bicycle valued at $300 was reported stolen from 119 Asbury Road at 1:26 p.m. Saturday.

Officer M.T. Scheid said a breaking and entering and larceny was reported Friday at 10:43 p.m. at 17 Colindale Court. Someone entered the home through an open window, he said, and caused $110 in damage to a door when leaving. There was no information available about what items were taken.

Sunday, April 16. 1989Arts School Students Upset Milley Remaining

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WINSTON-SALEM - North Carolina School of the Arts students upset about the continued presence of embattled chancellor Jane Milley' at the campus will announce their response to that decision Monday, student leaders say.

Its like a bad joke, said Brad Hubbard, a senior saxophone major in the school of music.

C.D. Spangler, president of the University of North Carolina, announced last week that Ms. Milleys resignation, effective June 30, would be followed by a six-month paid leave and a three-year contract on the music faculty of the School of the Arts, starting Jan. 1.

If shes not a performer, how can she teach us? asked Darryl Mack, a junior piano major.

About 300 to 400 students met for 90 minutes Friday afternoon to discuss ways to express their concern over the decision, said Joshua

Mark, president of the Student Advisory Council.

The student body is outraged, Mark said in an interview published Saturday in the Greensboro News & Record. Were not going to take this sitting down. She needs to leave immediately.

The range of actions being discussed by students includes threats of withdrawing from the school and demanding tuition refunds and striking classes and productions in an effort to bring the school to a halt.

Spangler, asked Friday of the possibility of protest or student strikes, said: It would be a shame if insensitive actions on the part of anyone reduced the support for the School of the Arts ... among those we seek to serve.

Faculty, administrators and students upset about Ms. Milleys management style have been seeking her ouster.

Spanglers recommendation to the

Board of Governors was based on compassionate personnel policies, he said.

Roddy Jones, chairman of the UNC board, indicated that without new information, the board will not rescind its approval Thursday of Spanglers recommendation.

If we were a wishy-washy board we would, but this board is not like that, Jones said, adding that the matter had a full review. The long and short of it is that we came together and accepted the presidents recommendation.

Larry Smith, dean of the school of music of the School of the Arts, said he will ask Spangler to reconsider.

Smith added that Spanglers decision to make Ms. Milley a music faculty member took him by surprise. Smith normally oversees the hiring of all new music faculty members, but he said the president never discussed the Milley matter with him.

While I am pleased that the campus situation has finally been

addressed, Smith said, I deeply regret Jane Milleys appointment to the school of music faculty. It is a performance faculty with the highest possible standards and Ms. Milley is not qualified.

Ms. Milley, 48, has a masters degree in music from Columbia University and was an assistant professor of music at Elmira College in Elmira, N.Y., from 1957 to 1975. Her last performance as a pianist was in 1973. Ms. Milley, who became chancellor in 1984, has held administrative positions for the last 14 years.

In appointing Ms. Milley to the music faculty, Spangler also said her salary would be $58,600, the maximum for faculty members in the UNC system. At that level, Ms. Milley would make about ^,000 more than Smith, the music dean.

Interviews with members of the Board of Governors indicated they were surprised that Smith had not been told Ms. Milley would be of-

Republicans Appear Still At Odds Over Martins Proposals On Taxes

By F. Alan Boyce

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH - While Gov. Jim Martin attempts to rally fellow Republicans around a 1-cent sales tax increase, many appear willing to ignore budgetary realities a bit longer in hopes of gaining more spending cuts.

Martin said last week that work on the state budget had resulted in reductions far short of the $650 million in cuts backers of a rival GOP plan had called for.

Were getting to the point where we can say to members that $20 million to $30 million is the most that can be saved by reductions in the base budget, Martin said. Then

we get to the point where as a last resort we have,to consider a tax increase.

That would be the same position that I was in when I recommended the tax increase, he said. That was not my first proposal, it was the last resort.

Martin proposed the tax to pay for an average 6 percent pay increase for teachers and state employees. He announced last week the $510 million generated would also leaVe room for a reduction in the state sales tax on food from 3 percent to 1 percent.

Sen. Larry Cobb, R-Mecklenburg, Senate minority leader, said Senate Republicans agreed with Martin on the tax increase.

If it proves to be the only source

Finalists Chosen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH Sandra Davis Rogers, Leon Rouson and Ric Vandett were named finalists for the North Carolina Teacher of the Year honor Friday by State Superintendent Bob Etheridge.

Ms. Rogers, Rouson and Vandett were among eight regional winners who were honored at a luncheon. They were selected as finalists after two days of interviews by a statewide panel.

Ms. Rogers, the Region 6 teacher of the year, teaches at China Grove Elementary School in Rowan County. She is a graduate of Troy State dnd holds a masters degree from Appalachian State.

Rouson, the Region 3 teacher of the year, ,is a math, social studies and theater arts teacher at Holton Middle School in Durham. He is a graduate of N.C. Central.

Vandett, the Region 7 teacher of the year, is an English teacher and football coach at North Wilkes High

School. He is a graduate of Appalachian State and is enrolled in the masters degree program there.

Excellence is the goal of educators across North Carolina, Etheridge said. And what goes on in the classroom is the key to providing excellence. Teachers such as these eight regional winners are an inspiration to us all because they demonstrate the enthusiasm, hard work and creativity needed to continue improving education in North Carolina.

of revenue, as we feel is the case, the majority of Republicans will be supporting it, he said. Since we passed our version of the base budget, its obvious were not going to find enough cuts there.

But House Republicans said their stand against tax increases had yielded big dividends.

Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, said there was more to the debate than whether it is "realistic to cut $650 million from the budget.

Whats realistic is that if the only discussion is how high can we raise your taxes, then the taxes will be raised really high. he said. But if there are countervailing forces, then a reasonable budget will be reached.

Rep. Trip Sizemore, R-Guilford, chief author of the budget cut plan, agreed that it is too soon to sign on to a tax increase.

Since the Republicans announced the plan, more attention has been paid to such options as postponing the next segment of the Basic Education Program, and shifting those funds to teacher salaries, Sizemore said. In addition. House Speaker Joe Mavretic has spoken out against discretionary funds for individual members another issue that had drawn GOP criticism.

What youre seeing, I think, is a significant shift in the debate to controlling state government growth and its process and away from only talks of tax increases, he said.

Jurors Say Finding Isnt Best Answer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WINSTON-SALEM - The law and the evidence required a verdict of innocent by reason of insanity in the murder trial of Michael Charles Hayes, but another verdict would have better reflected the leanings of the jury, a juror said.

What were saying is, he gets away with murder, said Michael Clark, a hospital X-ray technician in Winston-Salem.

He was one of three jurors who resisted acquitting Hayes until Thursday, the last full day of deliberations.

Declaring Hayes innocent by reason of insanity is something Ill think about the rest of my life, Clark said in an interview with the Greensboro News & Record. Its a terrible situation. But you have to go on what the law says and the evidence.

He said jurors would have found Hayes guilty but mentally ill if the law allowed that option in deciding on a verdict for the 25-year-old mo[^ mechanic.

Hayes claimed to be shooting at demons in Forsyth County last summer when he gunned down four metfM-ists.

I think the law needs to be changed on this, Clark said.

Three jurors interviewed by the newspaper said the panel was split 9-3 in favor of acquitting Hayes until Thursday afternoon, when they returned to the courtroom to ask Superior Court Judge James Beaty to clarify the law about insanity pleas.

When the panel reconvened Friday afternoon, it took about an hour to reach a unanimous verdict.

fered a position on his music faculty.

That would not sit well with me, and I was one of the people who voted for this, one board member said. I dont think any of us are satisfied with how this turned out. Board members said they were working under the assumption that Ms. Milley would never accept the teaching appointment.

Id be surprised if she werent gone, another source said. And I know that is her preference.

Efforts to reach Ms. Milley for comment Friday were unsuccessful.

Sources on campus said Ms, Milley has ordered security personnel to remove any publicly displayed posters critical of her. After Spangler announced his decision at a meeting of the School of Arts trust- -ees Thursday morning, students re^--sponded by plastering the campu^ with anti-Milley posters. By Friday* morning, the posters were down, but more were being circulated. .

Ms. Milley also called a meeting-with top administrators and told them they should not speak to the media, according to the newspaper, m

IN THE STATEPension Suit

RALEIGH (AP) Twenty-two retired federal employees have filed a class-action lawsuit to force the state to refund an estimated $25 million to $35 million a year to about 100,000 federal retirees who paid sUte income taxes on their pensions Jhe group is seeking refunds with iijterest dating to 1985 and possibly earlier, said Charles H. Taylor of Winston-Salem, who filed the suit in ir^S. District Court in Raleigh.

In a separate action, the lawyers filed a formal claim with the state revenue secretary for 1988 refunds for the federal retirees.

.The action was prompted by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned discrimination in taxing pension benefits for retired federal workers.

State Attorney General Lacy Thornburg has issued an opinion that to obtain refunds, federal retirees had to request them within 30 days of paying their taxes. That effectively would block federal retirees from claiming tax refunds for prior years, and would prevent some from getting refunds this year on their 1988 income tax returns.College Home

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Oliver North may have severely hurt his credibility by telling jurors at his Iran-Contra trial he bought an $8,000 used car with cash kept at home in a closet, legal experts say.

The most damaging thing that happened to him during the trial was the cross-examination on the money. That was just devastating, said Washington attorney John Nields, who was one of Norths interrogators at the 1987 congressional hearings when he was chief counsel to the House Iran-Contra committee.

Nields and three other lawyers interviewed after eight weeks of trial testimony ended Friday said the cross-examination of North by prosecutor John Keker may be damaging for the defense.

Final arguments are to begin Tuesday and the case could go to the jury by Thursday.

One of the lawyers interviewed said the former National Security Council aide might well be acquitted of the most serious charges, including an allegation he pocketed money from Nicaraguan rebels.

But all four agreed that Norths assertion that he covered the 1985 car purchase from a $15;000 stash of money in a box bolted to the closet floor was troublesome for the defense.

To have come up with a locked box on the floor for your explanation for large expenses when you are taking travelers checks from your Contra kitty looks terrible, Nields said.

It is fishy to have $15,000 in your closet, nobody does that, said Paul Rothstein, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. I am not entirely convinced the jury is going to think its smelly, it just depends on their personal experience.

Besides charges he lied about his secret help of the Nicaraguan rebels. North is also accused of diverting to his personal use some $4,300 of the $90,000 to $100,000 worth of travelers checks given to him by a Contra leader.

The retired Marine lieutenant colonel testified that he only reimbursed himself for expenses incurred helping the rebels.

He told jurors that on the advice of

the late CIA Director William Casey he destroyed ledger he kept to document all disbursements from the secret operational fund.

North also denied Kekers suggestion that he took $3,000 in cash from arms dealer Richard V. Secord to help buy an $8,038 used car in 1985.

North said the money came from a family fund he kept in a metal box bolted to the floor of his closet. The money was amassed from an insurance settlement and change he emptied from ' his pants pockets every Friday night. North said.

North said he took $5,000 to buy a station wagon but decided instead to purchase the more expensive car. North testified he put down the $5,000 and paid the additional $3,000 later for the GMC Suburban vehicle.

But a used-car salesman disputed this testimony on Friday, saying North had called him several times inquiring about a newspaper ad for the GMC vehicle. North told him he intended to partially finance the purchase through the White House Credit Union, the salesman said.

A former National Security Council secretary who disbursed expense accounts, said North was so pinched for cash in 1%4 he complained he couldnt buy lunch or gas to drive home.

She said these complaints stopped in 1985, when North controlled a secret fund for the Contras in his office safe.

I think the business of the purchase of the car and perhaps the rebuttal testimony from the used-car salesman and the secretary from the National Security Council may be damaging, said former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste.

About the time these payments start coming in, the jury may conclude that the temptation for all of this money was just too much for Ollie North, said Ben-Veniste.

If the jury finds he was involved in self-dealing then his whole posture of moral rectitude is not going to wash, said Ben-Veniste, who stressed that he did not attend the trial based his views solely only on reports about the proceeding.

Alan M. Dersnowitz, a Harvard University law professor, said the defense failure to question North again after Kekers damaging cross-examination was a serious mistake.

Jurors were left with an image of North explaining how he used a department-store typewriter to type letters to help fabricate proof he paid for a $13,800 security fence around his home North said he accepted the fence to protect his family in the face of terrorist threats but admitted the cover-up.

The last image they (jurors) had of North is being destroyed on going and typing those letters, Der-showitz said.

North is also charged with illegally accepting the security system from Secord.

Dershowitz also faulted defense attorney Brendan V. Sullivan Jr. for not bringing out the car-purchase

story during Norths direct testimo-^ ny instead of leaving it to be deyeli, oped by Keker on cross-examinai. tion. ^

Sullivan left far too much for, Keker He didnt sufficiently deflect and defuse the nuclear wea^ns that; Keker had in his arsenal, Dershowitz said.

Bickering Begins Over Bush Plan

To Attack Federal Budget Crisis

By Alan Fram

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Assoc-iated Press

Fisherman brings in oil-coated carcass of sea otter

WASHINGTON - The fiscal 1990 budget pact between President Bush and Congress, produced in weeks of high-level bargaining and praised as a lofty success by its authors, is already coming under fire.

These critics see the plan as a failure that soothes a political headache for lawmakers and the president while taking only a fainthearted whack at the governments fiscal malaise.

By its own reckoning, the deal whittles the troubl^ome federal deficit to $^.4 billion, just within the $100 billion target required by the Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction law.

And in the high-octane politics of the $1.2 trillion budget - in which protracted, pitched battles between Democrats and Republicans are waged over the tiniest fractions of overall spending an agreement of any kind is indisputably a major plus.

The most significant aspect of this agreement is its existence and that is no small accomplishment, Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said at the Rose Garden ceremony at which Bush and congressional leaders announced the accord.

But it is the assumptions the agreement makes, the savings it claims, the work that remains to be

done and the deficit problem it leaves unaddressed that have many people raising their eyebrows.

If American corporations prepared their financial statements based on the way this proposal was put together, their officers would go to jail, said Carol Cox, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and a former Senate Budget Committee aide.

The White House says it expects the deficit for fiscal 1989 - which ends Sept. 30 - to be about $163 billion.

But administration and congressional leaders say they need only find about $28 billion in savings to shrink the red ink for next year to $99.4 billion.

The rest of the reductions will occur automatically, they say, because the economy will perform so well that the government will take in more revenues and have to pay lower interest rates for the money it borrows. Most economists are more pessimistic.

Its a leap of faith to say those economic conditions will hold, says Everett M. Ehrlich, chief economist for the Unisys Corp. and former assistant director of the Congressional Budget Office.

Because those economic assumptions seem so unreal, the budget pact is an extremely elaborate smoke screen behind which Congress and the president can hide, claiming theyre making progress

Coast Guard Will Seek Scientists OK On Exxon Plan To Clean Up Oil

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VALDEZ, Alaska Boats carried floating barriers Saturday toward the oil-fouled coast of a national park, where bears emerging from hibernation were feared to be feasting on tainted and potentially toxic carcasses and clams.

The tentacles of Americas worst-ever oil spill spread in several direc-l^'tions, hundreds of miles from where ^he tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground March 24, and the battle against the spill took many forms.

Coast Guard Commandant Paul Yost watched workers scrub grease-like oil from blackened rocks on an island in the middle of Prince William Sound, where thousands of birds and mammals have died in the muck.

Yost met with Exxon officials about a plan he had demanded by Saturday, which was to include details of how many people and how much gear were needed to scour some of the 3,000 stained beaches.

Yost, the Coast Guards highest ranking officer, told The Associated Press he intends to have the scientific community approve the plan before he goes ahead with it. The details may not be made public for several days, he said.

He also said he wanted to see the recovery operation pick up tempo so that in two or three weeks we have a sizable number of people, maybe in the hundreds, on the beach.

In Kodiak, meanwhile, 27 fishing vessels set out or were preparing to leave on missions to spot and stop

Trooper Killed Serving Ticket

TERRA ALTA, W.Va. (AP) - A state trooper serving an arrest warrant for an unpaid traffic ticket was shot dead Saturday by the violator, who was then killed by a gunshot.

The gunman, Ercil Layton, 62, fired at Trooper J.T. Brammer and his partner after they entered his house around noon to serve the warrant for three missed appearances in traffic court, police said.

Brammer, 42, was killed and his partner, R.J. Hicks, 35, was wounded in the upper arm, officials said. It was not immediately clear whether the troopers returned the fire or whether Lavton shot himself.

house. Layton was found alive on the floor of a utility room at the end of the hallway. He died on the way to the hospital, Ferguson said.

Officers found a 30.06 high-powered rifle and a 32-caliber handgun in the Layton home. Young said he did .not know if the weapons were used in the shootings.

Police said the traffic ticket was related to an April 1988 incident in which Layton allegedly struck an unattended vehicle and left the scene. According to the warrant, Layton missed court hearings in January, February and earlier this month.

Hicks was in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the upper arm at Ruby Memorial Hospital in nearby Morgantown, a hospital supervisor said.

The two troopers were going to take Layton to the Preston County Courthouse to pay the fines. Young

said.

the oil, some of which had congealed into tar-like blobs just beneath the surface. Kodiak is the nations No. 1 fishing port with a catch worth $166 million last year. At the north end of the port, the herring fishery near Shuyak and Afognak islands opened at noon Saturday but was closed a few hours later while officials assessed the threat from nearby oil.

Basically we cant have even the remotest possibility of having an oiled product leaving the state of Alaska, said Bruce Erickson, a supervisor with the Department of Environmental Conservation.

With commercial oil-blocking booms in short supply, six ships were outfitted with nets containing a curtain of heavy woven fabric, said Linda Freed, a spokeswoman for the emergency center in Kodiak. They hoped to capture oil off Katmai National Park and steer it toward currents that would carry it away from land.

Its a long shot, but at least were trying, Ms. Freed said.

Oil has been washing up at Kenai Fjords National Park for more than a week and was reported on shore Friday at Katmai, situated in the stormy Shelikof Strait some 300 miles from the spill site.

The main ribbon of oil, which defiled thousands of rocky beaches in the sound, has drifted 225 miles southwest to the tip of the Kenai Peninsula.

Some of the oil moved down the east side of the Kodiak Islands, some to the west side of the islands near Katmai, and yet another slick threatened to move north toward such halibut and salmon fishing towns as Homer.

At Homer, 200 residents built booms in hopes of blocking the oil.

said Ray Springer, the local boss for a contractor working for Exxon.

But one of the greatest fears was for wildlife at Katmai National Park, where huge brown bears feasting on salmon are as much a tourist draw as the volcanic Valley of 10,000 Smokes and the 15 active volcanoes lining the Shelikof Strait.

A 40-square-mile slick floated off the north edge of the Katmai coast, and oil washed up near the Big River, where observers from a plane saw a bear digging clams from the stained sand, said Park Service spokesman John Quinley.

Weve seen pictures of dead deer in Prince William Sound that ate oil-tainted kelp, and it looks like we could be seeing brown bear meeting the same fate, Quinley said.

Right now the bears are coming out of their dens, said Ray Bane, Irk superintendent. The boars are first to emerge, and theyll be followed in a week or 10 days by the sows with cubs.

Because ice and snow still cover much of the area, many of the bears head directly for the beach to forage, looking for carcasses, seaweed, clams, whatever else they can come up with, Bane said.

Were concerned about the direct impact the physical presence of oil on the shore, and the bears getting into it.

But we are perhaps more concerned about those animals that may be killed elsewhere by this spill and wash up on shore otters, sea birds, anything thats being killed -and the bears have no way to distinguish these from good food. Ocean currents probably will carry dead animals from all over the region to the Shelikof area. Bane said.

Brammer was found dead in a bedroom to the right of a hallway that leads from the front door of the

Brammer, a 16-year veteran and the father of two children, was the first West Virginia state trooper shot to death in 10 years.

Then there is the enormous scope of the job ahead. The accord must be translated into a budget resolution passed by Congress, and then more than a dozen separate bills will be fashioned to implement the spending and taxing choices it enunciates. In many cases, lawmakers will have to make decisions the bargainers left unaddressed.

The plans authors defended it as the best they could come up with considering their differences. Bush has a no new taxes campaign pledge to uphold, while Democrats want to preserve domestic programs.

A half a loaf is far better than the starvation diet of automatic spending slashes under the Gramm-

Rudman law, said Senate Budget Committee Chairman James Sasser, D-Tenn.

But not everyone was as sanguine.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Lloyd Betsen, D-Texas, was so disappointed in the final product that he refused to appear at the White House when the deal was announced. Bentsen spokesman Jack Devore said the senator thought the pact was marginal, Enacting tax legismtion without his support would be difficult.

Sunday, April 16,1989 A*15Probe Of Wrights Conduct Goes Public Monday

By Jim Drinkard

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The ethics case against House Speaker Jim Wright moves from behind closed doors into an open and far more political arena this week as the committee investigating him releases its final report and the Texas Democrat begins to return fire.

The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, better known as the ethics committee, is scheduled to make public on Monday the voluminous report on its 10-month inquiry, along with a formal charge that the speaker violated House rules in several dozen instances.

The report is expected to present in a detailed, prosecutorial style ev-

idence that led the panel to believe I Wright improper y took some

* $100,000 in gifts from a Fort Worth

business associate who had a direct interest in legislation before Congress, and skirted limits on outside income by encouraging bulk sales of a book he wrote.

Wright has asked that he be allowed to appear before the committee quickly perhaps within the week to begin his defense. He is relying on committee rules that require a relatively low threshold of evidence to formally accuse a member of Congress, but a much higher level to conclude guilt.

On one level, the case then moves into a judicial-like process that could lead to a trial or sorts with the ethics panel sitting as the jury.

But the battle will be fought on the public stage as well, with Wright arguing his innocence before colleagues and on television.

Wrights primary constituency as speaker, the 260 members of the House Democratic Caucus, are split between those who seem to relish

the certain political warfare to come and those who believe the battle is already lost and wish the speaker would bow out and save them the agony.

I dont think Wright should stay as speaker, Rep. George Brown, D-Calif., told The Press-Enterprise of Riverside, Calif. The speakers actions set a poor example for a leadership figure, he said, adding that resignation would reduce the vulnerability of the Democratic Party on grounds of ethics violations.

Wright was in an upbeat and relaxed mood as he stood in the sunshine outside the Capitol and spoke to a colleague on Friday, declaring himself relieved after an emotional televised speech he delivered in his own defense a day earlier.

But the political storm clouds were building.

We havent hit bottom yet, said one member of the speakers defense team, fellow Texas Rep.

Anti-Abortion Protests Bring On Arrest Of Nearly 600 People

^ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JS Police arrested nearly 600 ;demonstrators who blockaded womens clinics in four states Satur-day, apparently as part of a national ^ campaign to persuade the Supreme

Court to make abortion illegal.

m The protestors in Milwaukee; Ann IT Arbor, Mich.; Jackson, Miss.; and ^Tampa and Melbourne, Fla., were dragged off by police after blocking the entrances to clinics.

7. The protests appeared timed to *sway the court, which is due April 26 to consider a challenge to the land-^mark Roe v. Wade decision legaliz-*ing abortion. A week ago, more than V 300,000 abortion righte supporters "marched in Washington.

The Tampa Womens Health Center was blocked for about three hours before officers moved in to ^make arrests, said Hillsborough . County sheriffs spokesman Jack ^Espinosa. He said 187 of the

estimated 1,000 demonstrations were detained.

Protesters temporarily blocked a section of the street in front of the clinic near the University of Soutti Florida, Espinosa said, but police Shad no problem making the aril rests. 'The detainees were transpor-ted to a nearby junior high school for 4 booking on trespassing charges.

1 Robin Kennedy, administrator at Jthe Aware Woman Clinic in {Melbourne, said the clinic entrance ^was blocked in the morning, but patients were not intimidated by the bullies on our doorstep.

Police made from 130 to 150 arrests. Ms. Kennedy estimated the crowd at 250 to 300 people but Operation Rescue, the national umbrella group that has been organizing the protests, said about 500 people showed up.

About 200 Milwaukee protesters lined up before 8 a.m. at a downtown building that houses the Affiliated Medical Services clinic, and kept workers and patients from entering.

Each time small groups of protesters crossed police lines and were arrested, another group would head for the entrance, where in turn they were haiulcuffed and taken away. Police said 130 demonstrators were cited for trespassing, which carries a $79 fine.

About 60 protesters were arrested in a protest Friday at the same . building.

The longer were here, the longer the clinic stays closed and the more ' time the women have to reconsider their decision, said Jan Parshall, a

About two dozen abortion rights demonstrators gathered across the street and chanted Haul em Away as police made the arrests.

Richard Withers, a spokesman for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, said pro-choice supporters want to make sure that news stories about abortion protests note there are peo

ple on the other side of the issue.

In Jackson, protesters arrived before 7 a.m. at two womens clinics and blocked entrances, police said. Fifty-six protesters were released after being charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing.

About 75 demonstrators were arrested in an anti-abortion protests in Ann Arbor, police said.

'mMirniim

Charles Wilson. Wilson referred to the spate of news reports certain to be spurred by release of the committees report this week.

Even Wrights defenders acknowledge that whatever the technical outcome of the ethics process the court of public opinion is likely to judge him harshly because that )ublic forum allows little distinction )etween allegation and final disposition.

The atmosphere is just terrible, said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis. We are supposed to be maintaining a neutral view so we can judge the evidence and act as a jury. All the partisan pressures and other pressures are making that very difficult. Members are asking themselves, What are the political consequences of this? That is not a legitimate question.

Legislators who ventured to voice concern about the speakers ethics problems were under pressures of their own.

Fellow Democrats came down hard on Rep. Robert Mrazek, D-N.Y., after he told The New York Times that Wright was unlikely to survive the battle and added: For the first time, a couple of Texans have said to me they think its all over. A chastened Mrazek declined to talk about the comments a day later.

And Reps. Chet Atkins of Massachusettsand Bernard Dwyer of New Jersey, the two ethics committee Democrats who voted against Wri^t on the most serious count against him, were said to be under severe pressure from colleagues in their party.

Wrights main defense will be that the business partner who was the

source of the benefits the ethics panel deems to have been improper gifts had no direct interest in legislative business before Congress and never sought to lobby him. Those benefits paid by George Mallick included free use of a condominium and car, and an $18,000-a-year salary paid to Wrights wife, Betty.

A more emotional issue for Wright, and perhaps an even more potent argument with colleagues, will be that Congress has no business judging the propriety of his wifes employment.

Many lawmakers have spouses who work either in direct lobbying jobs or in positions where they have clear interests in legislation, raising

the possibility those members woul(| be reluctant to cast stones.

Another aspect of WrighCs defense appears to be that he is the victim of changing ethical standar^ in Washington. The rules of the House may need changes, he said last week. If so, we should make those changes and apply them pro-spectively... not retroactively.

Sunday, April 16, 1989Crowded Soccer Stadium Gives Way As Fans Flock To Contest

(Continued from A-1)

English league teams Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

With the 54,000-capacity stadium already nearly full, police opened the gate to admit about 4,000 last-minute arrivals, fearing that otherwise there would be trouble outside, said South Yorkshire Chief Constable Peter Wright.

Inside the stadium, five minutes after kickoff, a massive surge of people pushed hundreds of spectators against a steel mesh anti-riot fence that soon collapsed.

The purpose of opening the gate was to save peoples lives and to relieve the crush outside, Wright said. He said he was not aware of any connection between the gates opening and the surge inside.

Police and soccer authorities immediately announced investigations into the cause of the disaster.

Wright said he believed the tickets

of the last-minute arrivals were checked, but fans said they werent.

A gateman who requested anonymity was quoted by Press Association, the British news agency, as saying he saw the police open the stadium gate.

It was a free-for-all. There were thousands coming in. I said to the police, What are you doing that for? and a policeman said, Someone is going to die if we dont. Its my opinion that opening those gates caused the tragedy.

The 10-foot-high fence has metal curved spikes facing the standing-room section to stop people from climbing over, and a stadium official said those who were pressed against it would have been lucky to survive.

For about 30 minutes, pressure mounted as people jwured into the section reserved for Liverpool fans.

The barrier behind the goalposts

collapsed minutes after the 3 p.m. kickoff and more spectators were trampled as the throng burst onto the field.

Many sprawled on the grass gasping for air. Police and first aid workers pounded on the chests of suspected heart attack victims and gave mouth-to-mouth respiration. Weeping parents and children hunted for each other amid the carnage. A police officer ran onto the field and asked the referee to halt the game. Play stopped at 3:06 p.m. and hours later soccer officials postponed the match.

BBC-TV carried the scenes of pandemonium nationwide, breaking into regular programming.

People were just crushing in. There was a lad and his girlfriend and they were just screaming. His words were please God, help me, and I believe the girl died. Her face was just blue. an unidentified fan

told Yorkshire Television.

There was a gentleman on my arm and he said, Youre choking me, youre choking me, and he just fell, and that was the last of him, said another youth, who was close to tears.

Witness McGeagh said: Everything seemed to be all right until about two minutes before the kickoff, when there was a big crush forward.

I was at the front and stuck up against the fence. There were railings down either side. It was like being in a cage.

I thought I was going to die. I was getting short of breath, I couldnt breathe. The weight on me was tremendous.

Some spectators escaped by climbing up to an overhead balcony. Others risked impaling themselves as they scrambled over the spiked fence.

Over Activity In Regional Wars

LAT-WP NEWS SERVICE ,

WASHINGTON - The United States and Soviet Union appear to be heading for a diplomatic confrontation over what each regards as the unacceptable behavior of the other in the two regional conflicts of most importance to them today, Nicaragua for the Americans and Afghanistan for the Soviets.

Each is asking the other to end military aid in those two conflicts, but neither seems interested in cooperating with the other or in making a deal over the two issues.

The confrontation looms as the Bush administration weighs its overall approach to such Third World conflicts even as it seems to be deciding issues case-by-case, as the Reagan administration largely did.

Before his inauguration. President Bush committed himself to continuing a covert military aid program for Jonas Savimbis National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) until the Soviet-backed Angolan government agrees to negotiate a political settlement with it.

In early February, he ordered continuation of arms shipments to the Afghan resistance until the issue of self-determination is resolved

by military or political means with the Soviet-backed Kabul government of President Najibullah.

Currently, the Bush administration is proposing to increase covert military aid to Savimbi and is weighing whether to start such aid to bolster noncommunist forces in Cambodia.

Meanwhile, Bush and other administration officials are complaining about Soviet refusal to respond to U.S. requests for a Soviet reduction or suspension of more than $500 million a year in military aid to Nicaraguas Sandinista government now that U.S. lethal assistance to the Contras has ended.

On Friday, Secretary of State James A. Baker III remarked angrily in a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors that the Soviets had to realize that our hemisphere is not a dumping ground for Soviet arms or a failed Soviet ideology.

He said Soviet policy toward Central America and the Middle East, where the Soviets have sold sophisticated SU24 bombers to Libya, will be high on his agenda at his May 10-11 meeting in Moscow with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze.

The Soviets are just as certain at

that meeting to question U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, where the Bush administration provides hundreds of millions of dollars worth of arms, funneled through Pakistan, to the resistance.

Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and his aides are furious with what Shevardnadze recently called Pakistans glaring violation of the spirit and letter of accords signed last April that provided for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, which was completed Feb. 15, and an end to all U.S. and Pakistani military aid to the Afghan resistance.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher expressed their shock.

Lebanese Legislator Killed By Shelling

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON The remains of Englands monasteries, those bare, ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang, symbolize wounds too deep for healing even after 450 years.

Anglican and Roman' Catholic leaders have abandoned plans for a commemorative service at Whitby, the Yorkshire port where Rome asserted authority over the English church 13 centuries ago, because of fears on the Catholic side that the event was something of a celebration.

We hit a seam of sensitivity which was deeper than any of us realized and probably deeper than even the Roman Catholics knew, said the Rev. Ben Hopkinson, the Anglican rector of Whitby. In the end they could not cope with it.

Hopkinsons announcement on Friday marked the end of two years of planning for a weeklong religious festival beginning June 25, including a commemorative service which

was to be held on June 29 in the abbey ruins with Princess Anne attending.

The Anglican bishop of Whitby, the Right Rev. Gordon Bates, said he was saddened by the decision. It is very difficult to have a service of penitence and reconciliation if the Catholics are not prepared to be involved, he said.

The Right Rev. Augustine Harris, the Roman Catholic bishop of Mid-dleborough, had nothing to add to the announcement, his office said.

Whitby, at the mouth of the River Esk on the Yorkshire coast, was the scene of a decisive moment in the history of the English church. In 664, a council convened at Whitby settled the date on which Easter was celebrated in Britain. The question was far from trivial, for it represented the triumph of Rome over the practices, and the calendar, of the Celtic Christian church.

Whitby was sacked by Danish

raiders in 867 and was refounded as a Benedictine house in 1078.

Henry VIII split with Roman Catholicism in 1533, suppressed the smaller monasteries three years later, and turned against the great monasteries, including Whitby, in 1539.

BEIRUT, Lebanon A 72-year-old Christian parliamentarian died Saturday when a rocket hit his apartment building during shelling duels between Syrian and Christian "gunners, police said.

A Lebanese navv gunboat ferried 14 badly wounded Christians to a French naval vessel anchored off Beirut as a French humanitarian aid mission got under way. It was unclear whether Moslems would participate.

, Police said intermittent shelling duels intensified before sundown as gunners from both sides blasted Beirut and its surroundings, killing four people and wounding 31.

The casualties raised the overall toll to 219 dead and 758 wounded from the five-week battle between Gen. Michel Aouns 20,000 mostly Christian troops and an alliance of Syrian and Druse forces.

An Italian tanker with a cargo of diesel oil, the Cochinella, was hit by a shell eight miles off Beirut on Saturday, an Italian Embassy official said.

The embassys charge daffaires, Attilo lannucci, said the top deck was damaged but none of the 14 Italian crewmen was hurt. He said the ship, which was heading for the Christian port of Jounieh north of Beirut, was returning to Cyprus. A police spokesman said the legislator, Louis Abu Sharaf, was killed when a

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY MAY END OBESITY

WASHINGTON - Obesity may be controlled naturally with a new ty^ of pill, discovered by accident, a research scientist confirmed recently.

In studies with pomtial cholesterol-lowering agents, scientists noted an unusual side effect. Patients receiving an ingredient in what is now being cidled FS-1 all lost weight, in spite of being instructed not to alter normal eating patterns, while body weight in control groifs remained constant

Scientists say the mechanism behind the weight reduction is not clear, but suggest it is partially due to a decrease in the mtestinai absor^on of calorie-rich dietary fats. Althmigh scientists for some time have known of substances with the capability of producing this effect, the dramatic impact on weight reduction was not known until recently. Substances with a greater potential to block absorptitm wUl produce greater weight loss resultt.

The director of research and develq;>-ment atNational Dietary Research, an organization committed to the investigation and research of nutritional soluticms to world-wide health problems, stated Ihe mechanism by which FS-1 works to deoease body weight is actually a more complex atul sophisticated prociBss called nutri-bonding. When chewed and swallowed munediately before meals, FS-1 releases nutrients with low calorie conient into the body, while hi^ calorie fatt are eliminated, thus providing optimum nutrition and a minimum number of calories.

Studies with FS-1 indicate weight loss resulu clearly superior to producu currently available for the treatment of obesity. In a comparative study by NDR, whcoe research topics have beat the subject of articles published in recent medical and nutritional journals, FS-1 was found to be the most effective treatment for obesity and the most accepuble to patients.

The discovery comes as welcome news for thousands of obesity sufferers waiting years for this type of breakthrough. According to a spokesperson at NDR, "FS-1 can be made available to the public inunediately, because it is not a drug and contains tmly natural ingredienu recognized u safe. A drug with essentially the same weight loss capabilities might take u long as eight yean to be available, due to lengthy delays encountered in the approval process. FS-1 is currentlv available on a limited basis through physiciaru and pharmacies, but mav also be obtained directly from National Dietary Resevch, Suite SS3, 1377 K St, Washington, DC 20005 for $24.98 plus $3 posuge & handling. An instruction sheet for proper use and (^timum resulu is provided with each bottle of 100 tab-leu.

rocket landed near his apartment on the third floor of an eight-story building in Christian east Beirut. He said the rockets were launched from the divided capitals Moslem sector.

Abu Sharaf was the first legislator to die in a shelling attack in Lebanons 15-year-old civil war. He represented Christian Kesrouan province since 1960.

His death raised to 23 the number

of deputies who died since the last parliamentary elections in 1972.

The war between Christians and Moslems has prevented parliamentary elections since then, and Abu Sharifs death reduced the number of deputies in the 99-seat house to 75.

The current violence erupted March 8 after Aoun ordered a blockade of militia-run ports.

Truth In Preference To Fiction

Its Back

Rubbing Elbows With Dinosaurs

The fattening dollar signs at the gas pump are symbols of a nation awash in"the flotsam of a failed energy policy.

In Greenville, motorists watched gas prices increase 11 cents per gallon during a two-week period in March. By May, consumers will likely be paying another 17 cents per gallon. A seven-cent price hike in one day last month was the largest one local petroleum dealers recall even bigger than rises in 1974, the year of the longest gas lines, the shortest fuel supplies and the highest petroleum prices in history.

Those years were lean times when the words energy crisis hit hard right in the pocketbook. How quickly a nation forgets, until its wallet makes it remember.

America still runs on fossil fuels. You can see that dependence every day in Greenville, where cars are backed up at traffic lights each carrying one person. You can see it in big trucks that roll down the highway, each hauling individual loads to individual destinations. You can see it in the minute-by-minute jet take-offs at a busy airport like Raleigh-Durham International or in the hourly flights leaving Pitt-Greenville.

In the 1980s, gas was cheap. Conservation, alternative fuels, mass transit these issues are as cold and unfamiliar as dinosaurs in an era where more, bigger and better were bywords.

In the 1970s, America was working on an energy policy, from the federal level right on down to individual communities. It had too. The nation could not afford waste. That policy never completely gelled, but progress was made. Consumers bought more fuel efficient cars. Oil companies experimented with alternatives to fossil fuels. Urban areas stressed carpools for commuters and built mass transit systems.

Then prices went down, times changed and as the 980S unfolded, federal emphasis shifted away from developing a sound energy policy. Suddenly, car manufacturers didnt have to meet gas mileage requirements. Exploration for new sources of petroleum took the place of development of alternative fuels. More thoroughfares, beltlines, loops and streets not mass transit systems were built to accommodate motorists.

But like ET and Jim and Tammy, the energy crisis is back. In fact, it never went away. Fossil fuel is a limited resource. America has never reconciled its dependence on foreign suppliers OPEC yanks the nations strings. Neither has the United States correctly addressed its finite supply of domestic oil:

Conservation, alternatives, mass transit these strange-sounding words from the 1970s have renewed meaning at the onset of the 1990s. They offer a challenge to the nation, state and community, a challenge to develop, once and for all, a comprehensive energy policy one that places these all-but-vanished issues as top priority. The other option is rubbing elbows with dinosaurs.

What Happens?

When Technology Outpaces Safety

The sinking of a Soviet nuclear submarine in the Norwegian sea is a tragedy for the Soviet Union. The loss of 42 seaman is a cause for sadness in their country.

The subs loss, however, is a subject for major questions about the dangers the sunken vessel can cause to the ocean.

The submarine was nuclear powered and the Soviet news agency Tass has also revealed that it had two torpedoes which were armed with nuclear warheads.

Questions now arise about the nuclear power plant which drove the sub that it is at the depths of the ocean. And what about the nuclear warheads which are also far beneath the surface of the sea? Will radioactivity seep from the vessel and contaminate the ocean currents for centuries to come? And if there is no immediate danger, what about decades in the future?

Military secrecy allows us to know little about the safeguards provided for disasters which might send these devices to the lower levels of the ocean. Yet, we know that radioactivity can have a major effect on sea life over a period of years.

All nations believe that they have provided for the safety of nuclear power subs and nuclear tipped missiles. Yet, no doubt the Soviet military believed the sinking of their nuclear sub could not occur. It can, and it did. The questions should have been answered beforehand.

The Reasons For Waiting ...

Well, folks, here it is ... the weekend before the deadline for filing state and federal income taxes.

The deadline normally is April 15, but that fell on Saturday, so you have until tomorrow to file without being considered late.

Of course, theres no reason why most of us shouldnt have filed weeks

Sunday Morning Notes

March just got by. Here it is April. Ill get it done.

ago.

Once you received your W-2 forms in January and the 1099 forms which report interest and dividends for 1988, you could have made out your tax forms and mailed them off.

Many people did. Of course, they are normally the ones who anticipate a refund. Usually they are anxious to get the things off as quickly as possible and await that government check which returns your own money to you. Is there

anything more satisfying than the sight of the brown envelope with the check showing through the window? It can be used for anything from paying off bills to buying that new television set one has wanted for so long.

Anyway our purpose here is to discuss those who owe the government money, have little incentive to fill out the tax forms early and thus are struggling with them over this, the final weekend.

The excuses for waiting until the last minute are legion:

I meant to start earlier but all my pencils have dull

points and I didnt have a pencil sharpener.

I was waiting for a 1099 form. The jokes on me. I had it all the time.

I waited because I always work best under pressure ... and boy is this pressure.

I took a ski trip and then a beach trip. I dont really believe the government will mind if Im a little late. (Note: The government does mind).

I thought I could fill it out in five minutes. This is going to be a little more complicated than I thought.

I planned to do it in January, but it was cold. Then I thought about it in February but it snowed.

Why dont they make these things more simple? I would start on them sooner if they did.

I knew I owed money. I cant bear the thought of knowing how much until I absolutely have to.

I never do anything unpleasant until the last minute ... and this is unpleasant.

Sure I put it off. I think Ill just take it over to a tax expert. They ought to be glad to get the business this weekend.

Well, regardless, virtually all of us get the task done even if at the last minute. Can you believe that tax filing deadline was once March 15?

Dont Punish The Model Minority

SAN FRANCISCO-The University of California at Berkeley says it is sorry. About time, you may say, remembering the 1960s. But the Chancellors grudging apology pertains to something recent, something that looks like racism practiced by a bastion of liberalism.

George

Will

In a statement in which circumspection competed with contrition, the Chancellor said that decisions made in the admissions process indisputably had a disproportionate impact on Asian-Americans. He blamed insensitivity. But the real reason may be resentment of people who are different and have the temerity to be excellent.

One group sensitive to that is the unfortunately named Chinese for Affirmative Action, located in Chinatown in, appropriately, a building on the site of San Franciscos first bookstore. CAA knows that Asian-Americans are facing what Jews once faced: the

Vniversities are incubators of future elites and some Americans resent Asian-Americans storming the citadels of status. However, Asian-Americans lead all other ethnic groups, including WASPs, in educational attainments. America needs more university students like Asian-Americans.'

resentment reserved for outsiders pressing for a fair share of the status conferred by elite institutions. Like American Jews before them, Asian-Americans have an intense desire to achieve social mobility by means of education, respect for which is inculcated by cohesive families.

Generally race-conscious policies are advertised as remedial. They supposedly place floors beneath particular groups, guaranteeing a certain level of social participation to disadvantaged people. But race-conscious policies toward Asian-Americans may place ceilings through which they are not allowed to rise.

Recently, Berkeley revised the formula by which applicants are evaluated. The new weighting less weight for high-school grades, more for verbal tests disadvantaged Asian-Americans, many of whom have English as a second language but are academic overachievers.

An interesting term, overachievers. Over what? Over their quota of excellence? Of Americas rewards? Who sets these quotas?

About nine percent of Californias high-school graduates are Asian-Americans. Today, 26 percent of Berkeleys undergraduates are Asian-Americans. There probably would be more were it not

for race-conscious social engineering in the name of the latest theory of distributive justice.

Evaluating the aptitudes of young people for higher education is difficult. Academic freedom requires granting universities discretion in devising admissions policies. However, universities must be monitored because they have proven themselves susceptible to intellectual fads and politicization. California, particularly, is a polyglot state sunk deep in the dangerous business of racial discrimination on behalf of government-approved minorities deemed under-represented in this or that.

The name Chinese for Affirmative-Action reflects a felt need to participate in an ethnic spoils system. However, affirmative action discriminated against Asian-Americans by restricting the social rewards open to competition on the basis of merit. We may want a modified meritocracy, but it should not be modified by racism and the resentment of excellence. An egalitarian democracy is prone to such resentment.

Coinciding with rising academic attainments by Asian-Americans has been a suspiciously sudden tendency by colleges across the country to de-emphasize high-school academic performance of applicants. Admissions offices place more emphasis on, for example, extracurricular activities. Henry Der, executive director of CAA, says Asian-Americans are developing a paranoia that they are not well-rounded. They are, he says, sometimes too academically driven, too focused on math and science. Now in self-defense, they are attacking extracurricular activities "the way they attack calculus.

Der cites a white student who said, If I walk into a classroom and see five or more Asian-Americans, Im not going to enroll because they will drive up the grade curve. Lowell High School here is 60 percent Asian-American, and some parents say, I dont want my chid to go there because he will not have leadership opportunities. That, says Der, is just flinching from competition. There even is talk of making whites an affirmative-action group to protect them against Asian-American ^mpetition.

Yes, the Yellow Peril is back, this time dressed in the language of liberalism. We have been here before, with the Jewish question.

Earlier in this century, quotas restricting Jews in universities were defended as liberal measures to prevent anti-Semitism. Ths Harvards President in 1922: If every college in the country would take a limited proportion of Jews, we would go a long way toward eliminating race feeling....

Universities are incubators of future elites and some Americans resent Asian-Americans storming the citadels of status. However, Asian-Americans lead all other ethnic groups, including WASPs, in educational attainments. America needs more university students like Asian-Americans.

At a time of high anxiety about declining educational standards and rising competition from abroad, and especially from the Pacific Rim, it is lunatic to punish Asian-Americans, the nations model minority, for their passion to excel.

Ellen

Goodman

WASHINGTON - The brief film clip on the screen flanking the convention ranelists captured one of tnose historic moments in the annals of televised discourse. There was Morton Downey, Jr., and a member of his rabble-roused audience screaming at each other nose to nose, voices synchronized in an a cappella of conflicting convictions.

Finally, Downey ended this confrontation with an intellectual summary of his opinions of his fellow human: Why dont you suck my armpit? This was not really a question.

Ah yes, American journalism. Or American entertainment. Which one was it? This was the question put before the American Society of Newspaper Editors April 12 in a free-for-all about the relationship between news and trash, information aind entertainment.

With a star-studded cast that included Downey, Donahue, Geraldo, and Larry King, the discussion mirrored the problem. It was definitely entertaining. But only marginally informative. The personalities who were quickest with the one-line sound bites won points. And, of course, the more confrontative voices drowned out the more thoughtful ones.

Led by Fred Friendly as a pin-striped Socrates, the argument about the differences between newspapers and TV, trash and a good story, about who is and who isnt a journalist got so heated that Downey said, only slightly tongue-in-cheek, I find it extremely distasteful to listen to this shouting.

Shouting of course isnt the only problem. I was more struck by the words and, I assume the belief, of one producer, Robert Pittman, who commented on the barroom-brawl approach to issues. After watching the Downey n(efest, he said, By the way, thats the way the American people debate issues. Now I have never personally asked someone who disagreed with me to suck my arm

pit, but perhaps I have led a sheltered life. I have, however, had experience with the more gentlepersonly way that discussions get polarized, especially on television.

Over many years, I have discovered one foolproof way to avoid being asked to appear on a television talk show. When the talk-show staff calls to ask your opinion on the subject at hand are you for or against armpit sucking all you have to do is begin your response with the words, Well, I think its more complicated than that. An alternative and equally effective response is, You know, I have mixed feelings on that.

At that point, the average booker usually an overqualified.

overworked, overstressed and underpaid young woman will begin desperately trying to figure out how to hang up so that she can call the next three people on her list. Its not that she is uninterested in your feelings, but the producer wants to quickly line up both sides of the issue. And in the vernacular of television talk shows, each guest is allowed to represent only one side.

The public is supposed to hear both sides, from people who only have one side. They are t^en expected to choose sides. It isnt a far cry from choosing sides to fight on. In the most polarizing, brawling versions of these shows, my colleagues may wonder whether its news or entertainment. I wonder whether its information or sports. Is the audience supposed to figure out whats right or whos winning?

At the furthest end of this info-tainment spectrum, it isnt just civility that is losing out. Its ambiguity: the notion that we are allowed to be ambivalent on some of the major issues of our own era. The Downeys of the world dont do windows or ambiguity. For that matter, even the Ted Koppels are less interested in mixed feelings than in mixing it up. Everybody talks about media biases to the right or the left. The real media bias is against complexity, which is usually terminated with the words: Im sorry, were out of time.

I am not suggesting that print reporters were trained on the ambivalence beat, but I do think you have a better shot at subtlety on the page than on the tube. If the TV talkers justify their own work as democratic (and they did at ASNE), they arent even acknowledging the subtle gray areas where opinions are really formed.

If, on the other hand, its all just entertainment tonight, well, I do have a firm (pinion on the subject My Guy Morton rai^ so eloquently. I am firmly, unalteray opposed to armpit sucking. Ya wanna make something of it?

Weep Not, Alaska

WASHINGTON - Weep not for Alaska, the state now wringing its handkerchief in Washington.

Alaska would like the fed-eral government to declare the recent oil spill a natural disaster, to qualify it for all sorts of goodies mostly loans. It wants the Coast Guard to clean up the mess, the Army to bathe birds and Exxon to pay the state a bundle for fouling its beaches and endangering its fisheries.

You would think that Alaska was part of the Union.

But until the recent oil spill, Alaskans acted very much as if its oil was its and its alone. Simply by living in the state, every resident qualifies for an annual oil dividend. The most recent was about $900. Since oil was discovered in 1969, the state has distributed more than $1 billion to its residents, socked away $9 billion in its permanent fund and eliminated state income and sales taxes. Its residents reaped the benefit of oil. Now, it would like the rest of us to pay for its consequences.

Hoo ha! And why? Seems to me that we have been paying all along at the pump. No one sent us a check even though, at last reference, Alaska was part of the United States. Alaskas oil revenues did not go into a national permanent fund and not a cent of this money helped build a school in the District of Columbia. In financial terms, there have been two beneficiaries of Alaskan oil: Alaska and the oil companies. As for the rest of us, the oil might as well be in Kuwait.

Let Alaska clean up the mess.

Perhaps its not fair to single out Alaska. After all, the fortunes of many Americans are dependent on where they happen to live - or be born. A child with the good sense to have parents who live in the suburbs is probably going to get a better education than one in the city. Welfare payments are higher in one state than another. And the punishment of criminals is often more a consequence of where they committed their crimes than by the crimes itself. Murder will cost you your life in some states but not in others.

Oil is no exception. Texas got rich on oil. So did Louisiana. And, lest my memory is slipping, I dont recall receiving a check from either Austin or Baton Rouge. Alaska followed those precedents -and then some when it won statehood. It bargained brilliantly for the rights to its minerals. Its current policies are a result of three things: the discovery of oil, an awesome ability to cut a favorable deal and the determination not to be exploited by others.

The coal wealth of Appalachia was often controlled by out-of-state interests. When the coal was gone, so were those interests, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground, a mess to clean up and a folk song about Muhlenberg County, Ky., that says it all: Mr. Peabodys coal train has hauled it away.

But good intentions aside, the fact remains that Alaska has become rich on oil - so rich that the annual dividend goes out to rich and poor alike. It has built roads, schools and libraries with oil money. Yet, when the Exxon Valdez ran aground and spilled 11 million gallons of oil, the state was as unprepared as the oil company to deal with it. If it is true that Exxon had nowhere near sufficient equipment to handle the spill, then it also has to be true that the state allowed Exxon to be so casual. Why did Exxons unpreparedness come as such as surprise to Alaska?

None of this is to let Exxon off the hook or to trivialize the ecological tragedy that Alaska has experienced. The fact remains that Exxon somehow permitted a tanker captain with a known drinking problem to continue to work for the company. Once the accident occurred, Exxon was slow to react and, once it did react, it didnt have the wherewithal to contain the spill.

But Exxon will recoup its losses by raising the price of gas. (It already has gone up.) Alaska will continue to extract mineral wealth that belongs, really, to all of us, rewarding each resident annually for the privilege of living in the state. At great cost, the federal courts will settle the liability question. And we will all pay at the pump.

The purchase of Alaska in 1867 was called a folly - Sewards Folly, after U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward. To Americans at the time, it seemed the United States had exchanged $7 million for a vast, frozen wilderness. But as exchanges go, that one was nothing compared to the one Alaska now has in mind: Checks from oil will continue to go to its residents. The bill will come to us.

A Few Hundred Pages About Ambition

WASHINGTON - Of all the forces that shape our politics, the most basic is probably ambition. Its ambition that powers campaigns and provides competition for public office. Inside government, conflicting ambitions underlie many a policy battle and most bureaucratic struggles.

For a matter of such fundamental importance, ambition has received surprisingly little serious attention from journalists or scholars. As reporters, we sometimes note stunning examples of ambition, as with Rep. Newt Gingrichs (R-Ga.) instant decision to go after the House minority whips job vacated by the appointment of Dick Cheney as secretary of defense. And sometimes we puzzle briefly over the seeming lack of presidential ambition among men like Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, Sen. Bill Bradley and Sen. Sam Nunn.

But I had not seen anything that examined seriously the way in which that basic motivation shapes our system of government until the mails recently brought a Yale University Press book called Political Ambition: Who Decides to Run for Congress. The authors are Linda L. Fowler and Robert D. McClure, both on the faculty at Syracuse University.

Its a case study of what happened in upstate New Yorks 30th District in the first two elections after its veteran and venerated congressman. Barber B. Conable, Jr., decided to retire in 1984.

Conable (now president of the World Bank) was one of the most influential moderate Republicans in Congress. In 1984, his seat went to a staunch conservative named Fred Eckert, a man well to the right of Conable. But two years later, the voters of the 30th replaced Eckert with a populistliberal woman Democrat, Rep. Louise Slaughter, who holds the seat today.

On the face of it, it looks as if the voters had become a bit schizo after Conable stepped down, veering first to one extreme and then coming far back in the other direction. Thats the way the

David

Broder

Story would normally be told.

But Fowler and McClure convincingly argue that most of the explanation for the seemingly erratic course of events in the 30th lies elsewhere: in the highly personal decisions of a dozen or so potential candidates in both parties whether to indulge their ambitions for a House seat, delay them or deny them.

In every congressional district in the United States, they write, there are (dozens of) people who could run for Congress but who choose not to when the opportunity arrives. Officeholders, community leaders, political operatives these unseen candidates are usually well known to each other, identifiable to anyone active in the civic life of that area. Whether they number five or 50, they always outnumber the actual candidates and often they dwarf them in their abilities and potentials. Political Ambition tells, in narrative fashion, why and how the unseen candidates in the 30th made their individual decisions to run or not run in 1984 and 1986.

All of them, unsurprisingly, calculated their chances of winning, but some had far more accurate perceptions of the political makeup of the district than others. That information gap may have been crucial in some decisions to duck the race. Several state legislators were too comfortable or secure politically to risk a congressional campaign.

For others, the opening came at an inoppor

tune time for their families or business or professional careers. Others ambition was blunted by the reactions of party leaders at the local, state and national levels. For some, it was a question of money; for others, a question of where they wanted to live and work.

Eckert hardly paused to consider these questions. His ambition for Congress was an instant spur to action, even when stuck in a most inconveniently out-of-way location as the Reagan administrations ambassador to Fiji. Others, like Slaughter, said no, despite great encouragement, in 1984, but thought again and said yes in 1986. It was this complex web of personal decisionmaking, far more than the makeup of the district or the will of its voters, which shaped the seemingly erratic political course of the 30th.

Fowler and McClure were smart to focus their study of ambition on a House contest: The quality of competition in House races is a matter of concern, as re-election rates for incumbents top 98 percent year after year.

One implication I drew from the book (but not stated explicitly) is that, given the variety of personal and political factors that blunt ambitions for Congress, a national effort (such as Republicans are now planning) to recruit better House candidates can affect these decisions only marginally.

The authors bleak but realistic conclusion is that the current system of congressional recruitment is simply too unpredictable to assure that enough of the right people will be in the right place at the right time to give voters the choice they deserve or that a healthy democracy requires. Their book is a splendid reminder that politics is really the most human of endeavors, and nothing is more central to its human dimension than plain old ambition.

-Minded Greens Gain Clout lii Europe

Carol J. Williams the associated press

. West Germany With

a liver anycme would swim in 3nd fo^ts dead or dying of acid seems Europeans have decided ecology is not just for lef-Sts anymore.

Heightened awareness has pushed [he iMue from the fringe to the fore, lading more respectability and CHHit to the parties that first made Mother Earth a candidate.

Members of the once-radical Greens hold Parliament seats in West Germany, Belgium, Italy and Austria. Berlins governing coalition includes Greens, and Frances Greens, Les Verts, had si^rising success in municipal elections last month.

Ecology parties hope to double their representation in the European Parliament in elections June 18, and unofficial sister parties of the Greens have sprung up in the Soviet bloc.

Little unity is evident among the dozens of parties born of concern for mans ravaging of the planet, but all benefit from growing worry about pollutants in the air, water and food supplies.

Environmental consciousness has for years been coming to the tefront, and a number of environmental catastrophes have accelerated this, said Ruth Hammer-bacher, a 36-year-old sociologist who is the moderate new leader of West Germanys Greens.

Rhine Wver chemical spills. North Sea oil slicks and radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster finally have moved Europeans to action on recycling and restraint, she said.

A turn to the left among voters also has brightened the political fortunes of some European Greens.

But Greens parties differ widely by country and the result is a painfully underdeveloped network of contacts and coordination, said Juergen Maier, who nurtures the Greens fledgling international relations.

We have no world development plan, said Maier, a pragmatist typical of todays mellower Greens. In most cases we had little to do with the foundation of foreign Greens parties.

Ms. Hammerbacher attributes some of the environmentalist parties new prominence to the graying of the Greens, a moderating with age that helps attract West German voters. The party born in

Separatists Seek Talks Over Peace

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLOMBO, Sri Unka - Tamil rebels offered Saturday to hold talks with the government on ending their war for independence, hours after an ambush blamed on the rebels left 21 soldiers dead.

The jungle ambush was the third attack blamed on the rebels in as many days. At least 79 people have died in the violence.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the largest and most powerful Tamil rebel group, sent a letter to President Ranasinghe Premadasa offering to hold talks, a spokesman for the organization said. Copies of the letter, signed by the groups political committee, were sent to newspapers.

The offer was an apparent reponse to Premadasas recent call for a cease-fire. A spokesman for the president called the Tamil statement a major breakthrough.

The last talks between the Tigers and the government were held in 1985 in Thimpu, Bhutan. The negotiations ended in failure.

The presidential spokesman said the letter was delivered to Premadasa and the government would verify its authenticity before making arrangements for negotiations.

A leader of the Tamil Tigers said in Colombo that he would meet with Premadasa to discuss arrangements for the talks. The rebel jeader spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bus Accident Leaves 9 Dead

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTIAGO, Chile - Two packed city buses collided in a suburb of Santiago on Saturday, killing nine people and injuring 50, many seriously, police said.

Causes of the collision were not immediately known, police said on condition of anonymity.

The accident occurred in Lo Espejo, a working class district 12 miles south of the city center.

Shortly after the accident, radio stations in Santiago appealed for blood dom- s for the injured, who were rushed to hospitals in the capital.

Five people died at the site of the crash and four others died after reaching hospitals,'police said. |

the student and anti-war groups of a generation ago now is dominated by people pushing 40.

The decision to play politics and build a more cohesive international network earns the sporn of such Old Guard party figures as Petra Kelly, who accuses the new leadership of abandoning principles in an opportunist quest for power.

Despite the new respectability. Greens parties still have limited influence, often getting less than 5 percent of the vote in national elections. They are strongest in West Germany, with 43,000 members and the support of 8-9 percent at the polls.

Inter-Green relations are too informal for a joint strategy in the European Parliament elections, but individual parties across the continent seem to smell the same opportunity.

British Greens secretary Sara Parkin told her party conference this month she was wildly optimistic about the chances. For the first time, Greens candidates are contesting all 78 British seats in the 518-member legislature based in Strasbourg, France, which determines policy and joint strategy on issues affecting the entire contihent, such as the environment.

WhiteWesbnghuse

Getting into the British Parliament is tougher because of the win-ner-take-all electoral system, which contrasts with the more flexible proportional representation common on the continent.

Frances Parliament has no Greens, but Les Verts won 926 posts in local and regional elections last month. Resentment of urban air pollution is growing in France, and Les Verts focus solely on environmental issues.

In Italy, the Verdi party has been in Parliament less than two years, but recent local elections show a steady increase in support. Spokesman Gianluca Felicetti said it

was the only party with potential for a notable increase in votes fw the European Parliament.

Austrian Greens spokesman Stefan Schennach estimated his partys support at about 8 percent nationwide and predicted it would win 12 seats in the next parliamentary election. Seven of the current Parliaments 183 members are Greens.

Environmentalists have established Greens parties in Poland, Hungary and the Soviet Union, but none has been granted official status.

West Germanys Greens, the originals, have the most impressive re

cord. They have gained respect after six years in the Bundestag, or Parliament, despite occasional antics, and hold 43 of the 519 seats.

Voters now see the possibility of getting Greens candidates elected; they dont fear wasting their vote, said Helmut Lippelt, a 57-year-old historian in the Greens delegation.

The partys conduct in the Bundestag has changed over the years.

Greens still knit occasionally during debates and the Parliament president censured one recently for shouting accusations, but they no longer let their guests lob paint-filled balloons at speakers.

BFast-Talking Walters Wreaked Havoc

THE ASS(3CIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Norby Walters talked too fast for most of his marks and promised things few dared to dream about.

The relationships were uneven from the start.

Waiters, 58, was white, well known and widely traveled, a high-rolling booking agent equally at home among entertainers and syndicate kings. His clients were black and closer to 20. Most had never ventured far beyond the inner-city neighborhoods where they grew up or the college campuses where they played football.

Most important, perhaps, he had money and they had none.

Long before this thing ever got near a courtroom, said Bob Woolf, the Boston-based dean of sports agents, I remember being astonished that someone could walk but of the entertainment business and sign 40 players... and most of them blue-chip prospects at that.

The average agent figures he has a good year if he gets four or five, said Woolf, who numbers football star Joe Montana and basketballs Larry Bird among his clients.

Maybe I knew it before then, he added, but I remember seeing those numbers and being struck by what easy prey most of these kids truly are.

After hearing five weeks of testimony and deliberating for nearly 40 hours

over six days, a U.S. District Court jury Thursday convicted Walters and partner Lloyd Bloom, 28, of defrauding two universities by using cash to lure college athletes into signing improper representation contracts, and of threatening to harm clients at other schools if they tried to renege.

Less than 24 hours later, attorneys for Walters and Bloom reached settlement on profits the New York-based sports agents will forfeit to the government following their convictions. '

The amount wa not disclosed. But U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas, who steered the prosecution through some potential minefields, said the government would seek a minimum of $250,000 from Walters and $125,000 from Bloom. '

They will be sentenced by Judge George Marovich during the week of May 23, pending appeal. Each faces a maximum jail term of 55 years and fines of $1.25 million.

At the center of the governments case was a novel interpretation of racketeering laws that Walters and Bloom had defrauded the universities of the ability to control their scholarship monies by signing athletes to professional representation agreements before their eligibility had expired.

To further that scheme, the government alleged, Walters and Bloom used extortion.

At the center of the defenses case was the argument that college athletics was rife with abuses concerning athletes eligibility long before Walters and

Life As A Walk-On

The Battle To Make It Is Tough

By Tom Morris

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Trying to make it as a walk-on in a major college football program is no sure bet, but when youre chasing a dream, long odds just dont matter.

Whenever a player comes in as a walk-on, he knows, right off the bat that its going to be.a long uphill struggle, East Carolina quarterback coach Mark-Richt said. He know's the odds might be against him, but it takes a special kid to realize that.

Kevin Rustic and Reeyes Spainhour are just two of 40 walk-ons trying to earn a spot and a scholarship on the ECU football team this spring.

Rustic, a freshman from Fayetteville, is fighting for his life. Presently, he is sharing a practice spot with another walk-on, J.J. Carroll, behind veterans Travis Hunter, Jeff Blake, Chad Grier and Charlie Libretto.

He was invited to try out for the team by former ECU coach Art ^ Baker last summer. His is to earn a schotershfp, and this spring football practice is his tryout period.

Spainhour, a junior from Wake Forest, spent two seasons seeing spot playing time at Western Carolina before deciding to transfer to ECU and try out for the team.

He has been a pleasant surprise for the.ECU coaches and has worked his way into the top rotation at defensive tackle. At 6-3 and 222 pounds, he is light for his position, but his quickness has allowed him to compete with a number of returning veterans.

For the majority of. these walk-ons, this spring will likely be a frustrating experience. Non-scholarship players often serve as little more than practice fodder for players getting a free ride.

In some cases, a walk-on doesnt even get a fair shake. If it comes down between a scholarship player and a walk-on, the scholarship player will likely get the nod because the school has already invested money in the player. Its the sobering reality of college sports.

Theyre at a disadvantage right now, ECU defensive line coach Tim Kelly said. The scholarship kids are supposed to begood.

But we feel like we have an excellent walk-on program under Steve Shankweiler, that has always encouraged kids. And giiys like Reeves can be a backup and really help us in certain situations. .

Over the years, walk-ons have' been a big part of the ECU football program. Last year, two starters in the offensive line, center Kyle Condrey and guard ^Vade Perry, were both former walk-ons who earned grants. Darren Bynum walked on last year and became a punt/kick return specialist as well as a reserve slot back last year.

And those types of successes are all the motivation your average walk-on needs.

Rustic split time at quarterback his junior year at Fayetteville Douglas Byrd High School and then sUrted every game as a senior as his team went 64 and lost in the first round of the state playoffs. After that game. Rustic ngured his playing days were over. He had some interest from some NAIA schools, such as Catawba, but wasnt interested in playing at that level.

What happened to me is I felt football was keeping me out of trouble. I didnt want to turn down an opportunity to play,. he said. I didnt want to be a person 10 years in the future to turn around and say what could have been or what could have happened. The opportunity is there.

Rustic tried out m the fall and spent the majority of his time running scout team along with Grier, a transfer from Richmond. This spring, hes been able to get in more playing time in practice.

Im getting some reps and Im getting some opportunities to show the kind of player I am, he said. I look at it tins way. Im a walk-on and I have nothing to lose. I can give 110 percent and not worry about making a mistake. Thats the way I approach it.

(See WALK-ONS, B-6)

Reeves Spainhour runs through a recent practice drill

Bloom arrived on the scene. And that the specific practice of signing players before their eligibility expired dated back to at least 1960, when Pete Rozelle, then general manager of the Los Angeles Rams and now the NFL commissioner, signed Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon to a series of pro contracts.

The defense argued that the players themselves 43 escaped prosecution by agreeing to cooperate, perform community service and repay portions of their scholarships were double dealers, who signed with several agents and took money from them all.

In one of the most revealing stretches of the trial, prosecutors played a tape in which Walters makes his pitch to former Iowa running back Ronnie Harmon and his Harmons father, Jesse.

In a raspy, measured tone, Walters calls himself the top representative of black entertainment in the world, tells Harmon, then a junior, that he is the product... and we want to represent the selling of that product, and closes by spreading out $2,500 in cash.

Over the next 15 months, the product would testify, he also received a Mercedes, plane tickets and other gifts from Walters and Bloom totaling more than $54,000.

But the potential damage from that testimony was still settling in the (See SPORTS AGENTS, B-6)

ECU-UNCW Games Postponed By Rain

The battle for first place in the Colonial Athletic Association was pushed back a day by rain Saturday, scheduling a baseball doubleheader Sunday between visiting UNC-Wilmington and East Carolina.

The doubleheader will get underway at 1 p.m. Sunday. If either team-sweeps the two games, the series will end. Should the two split, however, a third game would be played Monday night at 7 p.m.

UNCW comes into the series with a 12-0 record in the CAA while ECU is 11-1. Even though ECU and UNCW would be tied if the Pirates win two of three, a third game would not be needed after a sweep by either team, since all that is at stake is first seeding in the CAAs tournament, to be played, next month in Wilmington and two wins is all that is needed to settle that.

Dayton Man Claims Rose Bet, But Never On Baseball Games

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTON, Ohio A former Dayton businessman who admits he and Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose made sports bets through bodkies and wagered at racetracks says Rose never bet on baseball.

He never bet on a baseball game, ever, Charles Bo Foreman said in an interview published Saturday in the Dayton Daily News. And I knew him for seven or eight years. Foreman, who headed Foreman Industries before the company collapsed in 1981, said he sometimes handled Roses bets at racetracks and once at an Atlantic City, N.J., casino. He also said he and Rose would bet $100 or $200 a game on football and basketball games.

Ill bet on the same team youre betting on, he said Rose woiUd tell him. But in regard to baseball betting, he said Rose told him once: I just wont do it.

The baseball commissioners office is investigating Roses gambling activities. If he is found to have bet on baseball, he would be suspended for one year. If he is found to have bet on games involving the Reds, he

would be suspended for life.

Rose acknowledged in interviews on Friday that he arranged for a convicted gambler to get into the' hotel the Redb used as their spring training headquarters, but saw nothing wrong with it.

Joseph Cambra, convicted ofj-'yi

PETE ROSE

bookmaking in .Massachusetts, received the team discount at a Plant City, Fla., hotel for eight days during spring training, according to several reports.

Rose said he asked Reds traveling secretary Dan Lunetta to arrange hotel accommodations for Cambra. Rose' said he asked Brad Del Barba, the Reds former traveling secretary, to do the same in the two previous seasons.

I didnt ask for a rate, Rose said. I said, Just get him a room. I guess because tl\e team made the reservation, he got a rate.

Two Boston newspapers. The Globe and The Herald, last week q^uoted unidentifed sources as saying (Jambra showed several .people in the Fall River-Somerset, Mass., area a 1975 World Series ring that he claimed Rose gave him.

Rose said Cambras ring was a duplicate. He said his three championship rings won with Cincinnati in 1975 and 76 and Philadelphia in 1980 - are stored in a case in his home.Rain Slows Up Heritage

PITTSBURGH Glenn Wilson hit a two-run homer and reliever Jeff Robinson struck out pinch-hitter Mike Aldrete with the tying runs on in the ninth inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Montreal Expos 6-4 Saturday.

Mike Dunne, a questionable starter until an hour before the game because of a family emergency, got the victory by allowing five hits and two runs in 5 2-3 innings.

Robinson, who gave up run-scoring singles to Andres Galarraga and Hubie Brooks in the ninth after relieving Bob Kipper, earned his second save. He got Tim Wallach to ground into a fielders choice and then struck out Aldrete, who was hitting for Rex Hudler, to end the game.

It was Montreals fifth loss in six games.

The Pirates scored five runs in the first two innings off Montreal starter Randy Johnson, 0-2.

Barry Bonds singled to lead off the Pittsburgh first, stole second and moved to third on the play on catcher Mike Fitzgeralds throwing error.

John Cangelosi, subbing for injured regular Andy Van Slyke, drove in Bonds with a one-out single. Wilson, who grounded into a game-ending double play Friday night in the Pirates 7-6 loss to Montreal, then hit a drive into the left-center field seats for his second homer of the season.

The 6-foot-lO Johnson, tallest player in major league history, was chased by the Pirates in the second.

Dunne singled with one out and scored on Bonds double. Jose Lind made it 5-0 with a sacrifice fly to center, and reliever Brian Holman replaced Johnson two batters later.

Montreal, which ended a four-game losing streak Friday, scored in the third on Damaso Garcias two-out RBI single. The Expe got their second run on consecutive singles by Wallach, Dave Martinez and Fitzgerald in the fourth.

Pittsburghs Gary Redus had reached base in seven consecutive plate appearances - three hits and four walks - until he flied out in the seventh.

Giants

Braves.........................0

SAN FRANCISCO - Don Robinson and Atlee Hammaker combined on a two-hitter and the San Francisco Giants took advantage of center fielder Dale Murphys misplay to beat the Atlanta Braves 1-0 Saturday.

Kevin Mitchell led off the Giants seventh with a high fly to shallow center. Murphy charged but wobbled as he chased the ball and it fell for a two-base error.

Terry Kennedy then sliced a low liner that bounced past diving left fielder Lonnie Smith for a double that scored Mitchell.

Pete Smith, 0-2, lost despite giving up just three hits and striking out a career-high 13. Smith pitched three shutouts last season, the only ones by the Braves staff.

Crazy Situation In Cincy

Schott Gets Involved In Davis Contract Dealings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

How crazy have things gotten in Cincinnati? Well, two insiders provided the following details of the Eric Davis contract negotiations.

Owner Marge Schott intervened in the talks between Reds general manager Murray Cook and Eric Goldschmidt, Davis agent. Cincinnati was offering $1.15 million and Davis was asking for $1.65 million.

On the night before the scheduled arbitration hearing, Schott negotiated a $1.35 million settlement that gave Davis the possibility to earn $230,000 in bonuses, including $100,000 for winning a Gold Glove.

After he was informed of the contract details. Cook asked Schott why she gave Davis the Gold Glove bonus.

Why not? Schott is reported to have said. What are his chances of winning that?

Well, Davis won Gold Gloves in 1987 and 1988.

Two Games Rained Out Saturday

The scheduled National League game Saturday night between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies was postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader July 31.

Saturdays game between the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankes was also rained out, the team announced.

The game was rescheduled for Minnesotas next visit to New York, Aug. 1-3.

The teams are scheduled to play a single game on Sunday.

Hershiser Injures His Left Leg Orel Hershiser injured his left leg in the eighth inning Saturday and had to leave Los Angeles game against Houston.

Hershiser, the National League Cy Young winner, was leading 3-0 when he left with two outs and two runners on bases.

Hershiser said he felt something hurt in his left thigh while striking out Glenn Davis.

After consulting on the mound with Dodgers assistant trainer Charlie Strasser, Hershiser left the game for treatment. He was escorted to the clubhouse by team therapist Pat Serenar.

Orel Hershiser

Phillies Send Ruffin Down To Minor Leagues

Bruce Ruffin was sent to the minor leagues Saturday by Philadelphia, one day after allowing four runs in the Phillies 64 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

The 25-year-old left-hander, who had control problems in spring train

ing, has a 12.15 eamed-run average, allowing nine runs, four walks and 15 hits in 6 2-3 innings. He has started two games and lost both.

Ruffin will got to Scran-ton-Wilkes-Barre of the Class AAA International League. Replacing Ruffin in the five-man rotation will be left-handed relief pitcher Larry McWilliams, who will get his first start Tuesday in New York.

Cards Activate Smith From DL Ozzie Smith was activated from the 15<lay disabled list Saturday and was in the starting lineup as tte St. Louis Cardinals played New York.

Smith was placed on the disabled list April 5, retroactive to March 31, with tom fibers attaching to the rib cage on his lower left side. The injury occurred in an exhibition game March 30.

Critics Comer St. Louis manager Whitey Herzi^ gives the movie Major League a four-star rating. Best baseball flick Ive ever seen, Herzi^ said. I laughed my head off.

V^iteys not as happy with the Cardinals schedule, however.

Maybe they dont want us to draw three million, Herzi^ said. We opened the season with eight j ;ames on the road and then go home lor 16 games. Sixteen games in April? People wont come out to the games, theyll wait for warmer weather.

Did You Know?

Herzog says that in 1980 (then Cubs General Manager) Bob Kennedy called him to talk about managing the Cubs.

He told me they were only two players away from being a contender. I figmed it would take more than that. But one reason I didnt want to manage the Cubs was they played all day games and I wouldnt be able to go fishing in the mornings.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON She now holds the worlds masters marathon record for women and in 1987 she won the New York City marathon. But Priscilla Welch, 44, remembers vividly her first run, just over nine years ago.

It was barely a mile, recalled Welch, who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day at the time. I was embarrassed more than anything. I was embarrassed to be seen in a sweatsuit.

How things have changed. As she prepares to race in the 93rd Boston Marathon, she is now the tenth-fastest woman marathoner of all time with a masters record of 2:26:51.

Today, Welch neither smokes nor drinks and has lost 30 pounds. She can be seen in a television commercial, sprinting up a hill proclaiming

who says you cant run away from your problems?

But Welch maintains she is more surprised than anyone at her success.

Until I was 35, I did nothing athletic, she said. Even when she began, she said, I was smitten with that disease of thinking Im too old.

Now I say you never know whats around the comer, she said. If someone had told me 10 years ago that Id be running races around the world, being spoiled everywhere. Id say you were nuts. But now I say, if you have a strong feeling for anything, just go for it.

Welch, a native of Great Britain, was in Norway when she began running, inspired by the man she met just after completing her military career whom she later married.

It was 1978 and Welchs stint in the British Navy as a communications specialist was ending. But she opted

to stay in Norway after meeting the triathlete Dave Welch, who was at that time serving in the Army.

Welch, the daughter of a maintenance mechanic and a housewife, grew up in Bedford, 70 miles north of London. She began working at the age of 15 and grew frustrated in Norway when she left the military and was unable to get a civilian work permit.

Her husband suggested she take up running with the wife of his best friend and a great running career was born.

Though Welchs first runs were no longer than a few kilometers, she quickly increased her distances. She came in second in her first race, a

lOK that she ran a few months later.

(

Less than six months after she began running, she planned to watch her husband take part in a marathon in Stockholm. But as the day of the

race grew near, Welch decided to race herself.

She completed the marathon in three hours and 26 minutes, a little stiff because 1 hadnt done any proper marathon training.* But Welch said she felt little fatigue. She stilt doesnt.

Im not tired when I come over the line, she said. I can go out and party that same night. Right now Im just working on speed.

Welch and her husband, who is also a neuromuscular therapist and coaches her, have lived in Boulder, Colorado for the past four years.

She plans to continue running until its not fun anymore.

But for now it still is.

This has opened up a whole new world for me that somehow I never knew existed.Crime Stoppers

Boston Marathon Has Strong Field

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON For the men, its the presence of the first three finishers from last years dramatic race. For the women, its the first confrontation in four years between the worlds two fastest marathoners.

For Boston, its the makings of a classic race.

While the rematch Monday of Ibrahim Hussein of Kenya, Juma Ikangaa of Tanzania and John Treacy of Ireland, the 1-2-3 finishers, respectively, in the 1988 Boston Marathon is intriguing, the rare pairing of Ingrid Kristiansen and Joan Benoit Samuelson appears to overshadow it.

Kristiansen owns the fastest womans marathon time, 2 hours, 21 minutes, 6 seconds, and has been saying for four years she is capable of becoming the first woman to break the 2:20 mark.

Samuelson, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist and American record-holder at 2:21:21, has beaten Kristiansen in their only two meetings - at the Los Angeles Games five years ago and at Chicago in 1985, where she set the U.S. record.

Since the 1985 Americas Mara-thon-Chicago, Kristiansen has run four marathons and won them all at Boston in 1986, at Chicago in 1986 and at London in 1987 and 1988. Meanwhile, Samuelson, beset with hip, knee and back injuries, and having given birth to a daughter in October, 1987, has been limited to one marathon, placing third at New York last November.

Thats why Kristiansen, also the world record-holder on the track at 5,000 and 10,000 meters, and owner of world bests at several distances on the roads, is oozing confidence at gaining a measure of revenge against Samuelson.

While Kristiansen is not totally dismissing Samuelson as a serious contender, she is not overly concerned about her two-time conqueror.

I dont think Joan is fit enough to run under 2:25, the Norwegian said.

But shes a tough runner. However, running (more than) 32 minutes for lOK (kilometers, which Samuelson did in winning at Tyler, Texas, last Sunday) is not good.

In comparison, Kristiansen won the Boston lOK Milk Run the same day in 30:58, setting a course record. Last month, she not only broke a course record, but smashed the world best in the womens half

marathon by more than 3 1-2 minutes, in winning the New Bedford Half-Marathon in 1:08:32.

Still, Kristiansen is thankful for the chance to run against Samuelson again.

It|s good for the girls who are the best in the world to be in the same race, so we are not escaping each
