75(Summit Leaders Stand Together On Democracy

By Martin Crutsinger *

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS Leaders of the worlds seven richest industrial nations, striving to project a united front, voiced support Saturday for democracy behind the Iron Curtain and condemned repression in China

(Relatedstories on AlO)

during a gathering that even attracted the attention of Soviet President Mikhail GorWfchev.

In a surprising development, the leader of the Soviet Union called on the summit chiefs to link his coim-trYs economy to their own.

The extraordinary appwl became the principal subject of discussion.at the summit leaders dinner meeting, according to French spokesman Hubert Vedrine. He called Gorbachevs letter totally unexpected.

Aside from the Soviet leaders ap-)eal, the economic summit was so larmonious the world leaders decided to end their three-day meeting several hours earlier than scheduled Sunday, the first time any of the 15 annual gatherings was cut short.

The letter from Gorbachev was read to the leaders by French President Francois Mitterrand. Gorbachev said it is obvious that the rest of the world can only gain by the opening to the world economy of a market such as that of the Soviet Union.

He petitioned the West to consider the reforms he is making in the communist Soviet economy and to let his country play a larger role in world economic affairs.

Any disputes that did occur among the leaders of the United States, France, West Germany, Japan, Britain, Italy and Canada were either

papered over or ignored as the summit nations issued a political communique Saturday.

The second day of discussions was held on the 35th floor of the Grand Arch, an avant-garde marble and glass office buildmg offerii^ a spectacular view of Paris.

Secretary of State James Baker, in a briefing for rep(ters, call^ his ninth consecutive summit the most iiarmonious and one of the most productive sununits that I have attended.

The rich nations were lavish in their encouragement for political and ec(HU>mic reforms in Poland and

Hungary, but they did not back up the ^d words with any specific commitment of money.

But Bush indicated that he was pleased with the support provided by his fellow summit leaders, saying the commitments they made had vindicated his approach to fostering economic and political reforms in the communist East bloc.

Bush was attending the summit at the end of a history-making trip to Poland and Hungary, where he unveiled a $140 million package of aid to the two nations.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said that all of the summit

nations were very anxious to help. We are all helping, each in our own way.

The annual economic gathering was interspersed between the pomp and pageantry of the 200th anmver-sary of the French Revolution. Mitterrand, who cwisiders himselfa champion of Third World causes, invited more than two dozen leaders (Mf developing countries to rub shoulders with the Summit Seven during the festivities.

But the French president gave up an effort to get his summit partners

Pilot Says He Doesnt Recall Gunshot, Flight

By Dan Sewell

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - A pilot told investigators Saturday he didnt know how he was shot and has no recollection of his 800-mile, apparently unconscious flight dowh the East Coast in his small plane, officials said.

Federal investigators talked to Thomas Root in his hos{Htal room for the first time since the lawyer was rescued Thursday in Bahamian waters where his single-engine plane crashed: Afterward, authorities teamed Root had been shot.

Root t(dd a federal air safety investigator in a 40-minute interview that he did not recall the shooting. He was interviewed separately by an FBI agent

We have no reason to disbelieve him at this point.

We have some questions. There are some inconsistencies, said Andrew Alston of the National Transportation Safety Board. He doesnt remember a gunshot wound and we see one. That is a large inconsistency that we hope to resolve.

Root, a gun collector, told Alston that he kept a loaded .32-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver in the glove compartment of his plane. Root said he doesnt remembw anything after a radio conversation in which he reported having difficulty breathing, the NTSB investigator said. Roots plane ran out oif gas and crashed about four hours later.

His statement to me was indicative of an oxygen, deprivation situation, Alston said. The next thing he remembered was waking up and seeing water coming

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

An agreement which, would allow Mobil Oil Corp. to proceed with offshore drilling near Cape Hatteras drew the praise of U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones, D-N.C., but reaction from environmental ^oups was either cautious or negative.

The 1st District representative from Farmville called the agree-.ment, which was announced Friday by Gov. Jim Martin, a significant achievement for North Carolina.

I an\ pleased with the agreement and beheve, as does the governor, that it responds to the many questions and concerns raised by the state and our citizens about the Mobil drilling, Jones said in a prepared statement.

Jones, chairman of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committeq, had earlier proposed requiring an environmental impact statement on the Outer Banks bef(e allowing any exploratory drilling. With the agreement oetween the state and Mobil Oil, Jones has dropped the impact statement from a bill on California marine sanctuaries.

Under the agreement the federal Minerals Management Service, the agency that regulates offshore drilling, would have to conduct an environmental review of the area. The study area would include more land than required by the environmental

impact statement 189 square miles compared to only nine square miles.

Hie state agreement also includes provisions for at least six public hearings on the drilling beginning in August. Greenville has been chosen as one possible sight for the initial hearings.

The agreement, signed Wednesday ^ Martin, Attorney General Lacy Thornburg and Mobil Oil, allows the company to begin exploratory drilling as early as May 1,1990.

GUC Officials Say Drinking Water OK

By J. Ward Best

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

With cities, towns and industries upstream dumping wastewater into the Tar River and with fish dying downstream, just how safe is the drinking water in Greenville?

With a relatively new facility and a highly trained staff, officials at Greenville Utilities Com- Mssion say the water is not only s but good. And they have awardk to prove it.

Two underground pipes pump nearly 80 percent of Greenvilles drinking water directly from the Tar River. And before entering houses in and around the city, the raw water passes through a seriep of screens, I

filters and chen. al treatments. * Raw water fr. a the river first set^ ties in a holdii tank before goin^ through filtering and treatment. The water passes through a ihree^tage filter which includes and, gravel and coal. Chemical treatment of the water includes adding liquid sodu hydroxide, chlorine carbon and alum.

Operator Danny Gaylor checks the control monitor for problems at the GUC water plant

Greenvilles water treatment plant does go up against all others in the state every year.

At the annual conference of the American Water Works Association and Water Pollution Control Federa-tion each participating member in the state faces off in a water tasting test. In 1985 GUC brought home third place in the contest. The following year Greenville beat all other treatment plants in the state.

We consider that an even more cherished prize because were so far downstream and its (the river) already had so many disqjiarges, Lewis said.

The discharges from upstream worry environmentalists not only for the health and safety of the river, but also for the health of the residents drinking from the river.

Wastewater treatment plants, including Greenvilles, as a matter of practice regularly discharge treated waste into the Tar.

The treatment facility in Rocky Mount, which operates a bypass to its plant, has discharged more than 933 million gallons of partially treated sewage into the river this spring alone.

The state and federal government r^uire testing for pollutants in the river, and treatment of the water before pumping it out to customers.

Quayle Slips Up

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Vice President Dan Quayle mistakenly credited a moon landing to a congressman convicted of a sex charge, amusing a crowd of Young Republicans at the groups national convention Saturday.

This next Thursday, July 20th, will be an historic date for America as America celebrates the 20th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buz Lukens walking on the moon, Quayle said.

He meant to say Edwin Buzz Aldrin, who followed Armstrong to become the second person to walk on the moon on the Apollo 11 mission.

Donald Buz Lukens, a Republican congressman from Ohio, was convicted in May of having sex with a 16-year-old girl.

Lukens, 58, was sentenced last month in Columbus to 30 days in jail and fined $500 on the misdemeanor charge of contributing to the unruliness of a minor. He is free on bond pending appeal.

Quayle, who spoke from index cards during remarks at the Nashville Convention Center, appeared to realize his mistake after the crowd began laughing at the reference to Lukens. The vice president did not correct himself but did exchange glances with his wife, Marilyn, who was also on the stage.

GOP Chairman Lee Atwater said he decided not to mention the gaffe when he spcike to Quayle later, but the vice president brought it up.

He said, Buz Lukens, oooh, Atwater said, grimacing in imitation of Quayle.

The convention of about 1,200 Young Republicans began Friday and ends Sunday.

Correction

Area debutante Margaret Alexander Stowe of Farmville is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Henry Stowe of Farmville. The parents were incorrectly identified in The Daily Reflector on Friday.

ed Saturday at the last minute to include a proposal to convene an emergency meeting within the next few weeks to deal with the urgent need for food assistance for Poland.

Officials said the session could be used as the launching pad for a massive foodlift to shortage-plagued Poland.

European nations are currently stockpiling surplus meat, sugar, grain and some dairy products that could be used to ease the economic difficulties of the Poles.

British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe, oriefing reporters, said that it was envisioned that the conference would organize both food and cash contributions for Poland but it was unclear just how much food aid would be forthcoming.

The leaders also reaffirmed their support for easing Polands $39 billion foreign debt Durden but skipped specifics on how much relaxation in the repayment schedule they were willing to finance..

On China, the severi democracies called on Beijing to cease action against those who have done no more than claim their legitimate rights to democracy and liberty but the leaders stopped short of announcing any stiffer sanctions in response to the bloody crackdown on dissent.

In his letter to the summit gathering, Giffbachev called for increased East-West cooperation on economic matters saying such links would prove beneficial to both sides.

The summit leaders, while not responding directly to Gorbachevs message, expressed their approval for easing East-West tensions but said Moscow remains a threat to each of us because of a military balance that favors the Communist bloc.

Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said that the Soviet letter was read by Mitterrand during the leaders afternoon session and that the Bush administration was gener

ally supMrtive of Gorbachevs propolis for gi

greater economic coordination.

Ilie leaders also condemned international terrorism and vowed to bring terrorists to justice.

They called for stepped up international efforts to protect against aircraft hijackings and sabotage in the wake of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 that killed 270 people in L()ckerbie, Scotland, last December.

In a clear reference to Iran and its allies in Lebanon, the leaders called on those holding hostages to release them imm^ately and unconditionally and on those with influence over hostage-takers to use it to this end.

Inside GUCs facility, a bank of monitors takes up nearly half of one room. The control monitors and readouts continuously check chemical levels of the water coming into the plant, leaving the facility and at varying stages of treatment.

Behind the monitors, sit six tubes with water of varying colors flowing through them. Chemists at the plant can sample water from each stage of treatment without leaving the lab.

GUC also tests 60 water samples

from around the city throughout the month. The state i^uires 50 samples and do^nt specify when they have to be taken.

Quality control at the treatment plant follows federal and state guidelines in testing for heavy metals annually; surface and groundwater every three years, and total coliform, a bacterial pollutant indicator-daily.

More important to GUC chemist Jesse Chadwick, the water leaving the plant also enters the employees homes.

Gas Explosion Kills Man

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - A four-story apartment building apparently rocked by a gas explosion collapsed Saturday, killing one person and injuring six others.

Rescue workers pulled the body of a man from the rubble in northern Manhattan, said Fire Department spokesman John Mulligan. The victim had been thrown through a wall and covered with bricks, he said.

The man, who was not immediately identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victims brother was taken to

the hospital with injuries from falling debris and burns. Mulligan said. Another man suffered serious injuries and four people outside the building suffered cuts from flying debris, officials said.

Audrey Singleton, who lives nearby, said the explosion at about 3:30 p.m. sounded like a bomb.

Everything blew out of the building, she said. Half of the stuff blew across the street. ... My whole house shook. It blew out my windows all of my kitchen windows and two bedroom windows.

Trustees Give Joyner New Term As Chairman

By Stuart Savage

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

Raleigh, who was reappointed by the Board of Governors.

Two Greenville men were elected as officers of the Elast Carolina University Board of Trustees at a meeting Friday afternoon.

. Max Ray Joyner was elected to a second one-year term as chairman of the board, while William E.

, Dansey was selected as board secretary. Sam Wornam of Sanford was re-elected for a second term as vice chairman.

As part of the boards reorganization, three new members and three reappointed members including Dansey and Joyner took the oath of office for new four-year terms.

, New trustees William C. Baggett ^of Greenville, William P. Furr of Denver, N.C., and Valeria 0. Lovelace of Teaneck, N.J., new ap-.pointees of the University of North ^Carolina Board of Governors, were sworn in, as were Sandra P. Babb of

The meeting also saw trustees name the ECU Medical Schools cancer center in honor of the late Chancellor-emeritus Leo W. Jenkins and correcting a long-standing oversight name Memorial Gym for John B. Christenbury.

Jenkins, who died earlier this year, headed the university as president and chancellor for 17 years before his retirement in 1978. During that period the former U.S. Marine Corps officer led the fight for the creation of the medical school at East Carolina.

Trustees officially named Memorial Gym on East 10th Street as the John B. Christenbury Memorial Gymnasium. Christenbury, a former coach at the university, was killed in a 1944 explosion in California while serving in the U.S. Army.

The gymnasium has been known a Christenbury Memorial Gym since it

Program Visitors

The Pitt Community Schools Summer Reading Enrichment Program at Third Street School, under the direction of Sandra Norris and Shirley Dixon, had several visitors recently

The guests included Jerry Everhart, a Pitt County schools science teacher who demonstrated different types of electricity; Tom Moffitt and Sandi Morris, who brought snakes to the school; Police Officer James Tripp, who discussed safety and law enforcement, and Phillip Williams, meteorologist with WNCT-TV, who discussed weather and television.

was dedicated in 1953 to honor all ECU graduates who lost their lives in World War 11. But no official action on the naming of the sports facility was ever recorded in the minutes of the board.

In other action, the board voted to establish diabetes center at the medical school and approved funds for a number of facilities improvements, including the leasing of 5,100 square feet of office space for the school of medicine.

In a report to the board, Dansey said the boards health sciences committee recommended the action in light of the fact that eastern North Carolina has a high death rate from diabetes.

According to Dansey, the national death rate from the disease is 15.10

per 100,000 population, while the death rate for North Carolina is 14.27. In the counties served by ECU, the diabetes death rate is 18.34 per 100,000 residents.

According to Dansey, the center will be a multi-disciplinary effort dedicated to research into the cause and cure of diabetes; the education and training of health care professionals and diabetics, and the development of model care for diabetic patients.

Capital improvements costing an estimated $314,500 to Aycock, Belk, Scott and Tyler dorms were approved, as was the cleaning and sealing of the exterior of the old portion of Mendenhall Student Center, which is expected to cost about $98,300.

And trustees voted to rent 5,100 square feet in the BB&T building at

200 Venture Tower Drive for medical school offices for three years at $48,000 a year, as well as purchase a new sound system for Wright Auditorium at a cost of $75,000.

In other action, the board with three members voting their opposition approved a new logo for use on letterheads and all other university documents.

Chancellor Richard Eakin explained that a committee worked for almost a year before deciding on the arches motif, with the words East Carolina University on separate lines below it, suggesting education, as well as access to education ... entry through the 'portal. Eakin said the task force, in testing of the new logo, had very good response to it.

I just dont see it," said board member Craig Souza of Raleigh,. Trustee Howard Rooks of Alexandria, Va., agreed with Souza.

In his regular report to the board. Eakin said 125 high school students participating in a program on campus earlier this summer sponsored a beautification project and picked up 65 pounds of paper and other forms of trash on the campus.

The chancellor also told trustees that while there should be an increase in enrollment at ECU in the coming school year, the number of freshmen entering school in the fall will be smaller than in the past because of more stringent admission standards.

The next meeting of the board is tentatively scheduled for Sept, 29.

Department Head Retires From Post

2500 CHARLES STREET EXTENSION 756-8652 STORE HOURS

ECU NEWS BUREAU

An East Carolina University professor who helped establish the department of physical therapy in the School of Allied Health Sciences has resigned as chairman of the department and a search for his replacement has begun.

George F, Hamilton, who became the departments first chairman 20 years ago, said he will continue to teach, conduct research and practice his specialty in a physical therapy clinic that was opened last year. His resignation was effective July 1.

Mary Susan Templeton, a member of the physical therapy faculty, will serve as acting chairwoman of the department while a national search is conducted to fill the position.

Under Hamiltons leadership, the department grew from its original eight students in 1969 to 32 student entrants per year in 1989. Eight faculty are employed in the department. A total of 303 physical therapy practitioners have received degrees in the program.

Debris Too Miich

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PINEY CREEK, N.C. - The states practice of dumping logs, old tires, tin cans and other rubbish back into the river instead of hauling it all away amazes and concerns some Ashe County residents.

But officials with the N.C. Department of Transportation said this week that it would cost too much and take too much time to dispose of the debris any other way.

Right now there is no good alternative to get rid of such a large volume of debris. ..., said Dan D. Holderman, the departments supervisor of bridge maintenance for Division 11, which includes Ashe County.

Its the lesser of two evils, it seems, to let it go on down and get rid of it that way because nobody wants it, he told the Winston-Salem Journal.

Ashe County suffers from the problem more than most counties in North Carolina because of its 15 low-water bridges on the south and north forks of the New River.

The department was recently-granted provisional approval to plan a graduate program that will award masters degrees in physical therapy. Hamilton said the graduate program is in keeping with the current national trend to teach physical therapy at the post-baccalaureate degree level.

Monday-Friday 9am-8pm Saturday 9am-6pm

Last year Hamilton also established a full-time clinical services unit, the Back and Limb Clinic, offering therapy for persons with pain or disability in the spine, joints and muscles. The clinic is located in Carol Belk Allied Health Sciences Building.

Sunday, July 16,1989 A-5School Board Sets Special Meeting To Consider Personnel Items

(Continued from A-l)

matters are to be discussed.

Under state law, the group may privately discuss personnel matters and job Mrformance of employee. But the Doard must reconvene the open meeting if it is to take any action.

As for the personnel recommendations, West first presented the proposals to the board at its June 19 meeting. But the board has not acted on the issues.

The employees began their new jobs upon Wests recommendation, but the board must ultimately ap

prove or deny the requests. Board Chairman George Williams would not comment last week on whether the personnel decisions were linked politically to the boards stance on Wests contract.

Without the special meeting, the boards next opportunity to consider the personnel moves would come at its regular monthly meeting set for Aug. 7, just nine days before teachers are to report for work.

Despite the delay, Stephen D. Blades, a member of the board of directors of Citizens for Excellence and Equity in Education in Pitt County, said the recommendations

came in such haste that the board acted responsibly in delaying action fowdditional consideration.

Blades questioned Wests handling of the recommendations, saying there was not enough planning and communication. Neither the employees nor the board members were properly involved in the process, he said.

Traditionally, theres been more communication between the superintendent and the board, he said. Its not fair to anybody. Decisions just shouldnt be made that way.

I feel very strongly in support of the board. At least some of the ac-

Pilot Doesnt Recall Shooting

(Continued from A-l) through and around the windshield.

Alston said officials will conduct further tests, including checking for carbon monoxide in a blood sample, and talk to the gun manufacturer about possible causes of the shooting.

Root was in stable condition at Memorial Hospital in Hollywood, north of Miami. He had been under heavy

sedation Fridav.

Its an odd story all right, Roots brother-in-law

Brett Geer, said after a visit Friday. With this wound and him not being able to recollect how he got it. Im sure there is reason for an investigation.

Even though there are a lot of unanswered questions, the one thing we are certain of is that he did not make any attempt on his life, said brother W. Todd Root of Burlingame, Calif.

Root underwent surgery at the hospital Thursday night.

Hes a very lucky guy, said Dr. Robert Cohen, who operated on Root. I dont know if he wanted to be lucky. Well find out sooner or later.

Root, 36, of Alexandria, Va., apparently became unconscious while piloting his Cessna from Washington National Airport to Rocky Mount, N.C.

The plane was on autopilot and military pilots shadowed his aircraft for nearly four hours. The plane ran out of gas and crashed in mile-deep waters 14 miles west of the Bahamian island of Eleuthera. Root swam to a raft, where rescuers piulled him to safety.

Geer said Root told him the bullet wound was not self-inflicted and could have occurred when the impact of the crash triggered the pistol.

tions were taken not in an appropriate manner. The board should take its time in reviewing the decisions, he said.

As for Wests contract, the board may vote at any time in this fiscal year to buy out the last year of the pact and dismiss the superintendent. West has held the post since 1982.

The current contract expires June 30,1990, and the board must inform West by April whether it intends to renew the deal or let him go. At least six of the 13 board members have refused to say whether they support West.

CEEEPCO has not taken a position on Wests job status. However, Blades said the group supports the board, and there is too much second-guessing going on concerning Wests job situation.

I think the position CEEEPCO would like to say is it supports the board and its activities. I think

theyve made some wise decisions, and theyre obviously grai

tion as an example of why there should have been more planning and communication in connection with the personnel proposals. Adequate preparation could have allowed the board to either approve or deny the changes before Bleicher and others actually assumed their new jobs, preventing people from working weeks unaware whether the move will be permanent.

Obviously there is some controversy in some of the decisions ... , he said. I also like the fact that the board certainly encourages public comment. I think they are doing this by having another meeting (Wednesday) to deal with this issue.

I think theres come credence to the fact that he (Bleicher) may have been mistreated about this whole process, Blades said. The administration hadnt made any effort to contact any other groups involved with Agnes Fullilove.

Blades, who works with family medicine at the East Carolina University School of Medicine, said the change at Agnes Fullilove is the most drastic l^cause so many agencies outside the school system are linked to the schools programs. He said several parents have alerted him of their worry.

Under a recent grant. Blades said he was working on a new program with Bleicher until the sudden change of leadership. Such sudden changes cannot help but affect the school, he said.

All of a sudden theres a change, and we didnt even know about until we read about it in the paper, Blades said.

CEEEPCO was formed two years ago, and the non-profit organization now has about 200 members, Blades said. Its goal is to work for excellence in education for all students in the county, he said.

some vei7 difficult issues, including the role of the superintendent, he said.

The personnel recommendation that education observers have cited as the most harmfuUy abrupt is the transfer of 12-year Agnes Fullilove

principal Johann Bleicher to the post r.The

of substance abuse coordinator, alternative school sefves at-risk youngsters, and Bleicher developed model programs that have received national recognition.

vironmentalist off guard and garnered criticism.

Its just very rushed, said Tom Perlic, N.C. Sierra Club coastal conservation chairman.

The Sierra Club is a little disturbed that the agreement was reached with no input from environmental groups, Perlic said.

The Sierra Club and other groups had been working toward requiring an environmental impact statement. But with Jones dropping the requirement from his bill, Perlic said the group would push for a moratorium on offshore drilling.

It is still possible for North Carolina to get into the moratorium. Although its going to take a lot of effort on our part and on the congressional leaders part, Perlic said.

Youre looking at North Carolina being one of the few states in the country without some protection for offshore drilling activities for the next year.

Doug Rader, chief scientist with the Environmental Defense Fund and a member of the governors working group on coastal drilling, said he was also disappointed in the decision.

But Rader said, Im cautiously optimistic, but optimism is required.

Rader cautioned that the drilling for natural gas might only be the first impact on the North Carolina coast.

Were looking to industrialize the middle tier on the Atlantic coast, Rader said.

Rader said the agreement greased the skids for oil and gas production which would follow any positive explorations.

I believe firmly that we are at a crossroads in the development of the coast of North Carolina. I believe thats a fundamental switch where the people of North Carolina should have some say so, Rader said.

Rader also said the time schedule for completing the required environmental studies accurately was nearly impossible.

I dont see how they can answer the real concerns of the people of North Carolina, Rader said. But they say they can meet it.

But he added that the public now needed to get involved with the project to assure the greatest protection of the coast.

Its a done deal, Rader said, Theres no point in throwing stones.

1 Plan Would Have 8 States Share Waste Treatment

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

, RALEIGH Legislators from

across the South will discuss during the next few days a proposal that would share the burdens of hazardous-waste treatment among eight states in the region.

The plan the first proposed regional agreement for waste disposal in the Southeast - would have a treatment center, an incinerator, or both, in North Carolina ^ in exchange for ^uth Carolina and ^ Alabama keeping their landfills : - open for the region, state and feder-al officials said, t Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, -Z chairman of the House Environmen-

> tal Caucus, said Southern legislators will be discuss the proposal during a

- meeting Sunday through Tuesday in !T Baltimore.

; He said he is encouraged by the

plan, but added, I dont think its going to make it any easier to site an incinerator in North Carolina.

House Majority Leader Dennis A. Wicker, D-Lee, said Gov Jim Martin laid out the proposal in an hourlong breakfast meeting with sbc House and Senate members who worked to pass a major waste-treatment bill May 30.

I think were getting down close to agreement, Wicker told the Winston-Salem Journal, expressing support for the proposal, which arose from an eight-state meeting June 29 in Atlanta with officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The discussion Friday came just before members of the N.C. Hazardous Waste Management Commission met to reopen the search for volunteer counties to play host to treatment plants.

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (AP) -Hardees Food Systems Inc. will voluntarily recall a promotional item called Ghbstblasters because the toy contains small parts that may be swallowed by children if dislodged from the unit, company officials said.

Year-Round School

RALEIGH (AP) - Wake County teachers involved in a year-round schedule said the idea would have no effect on the content of their classes, but it would change their approach, including reducing the need for review at the start of each session.

Classes start July 26 at Kingswood Wake Countys first year-round school.

Students at the year-round school will attend class for nine weeks and then take three weeks off. When the school reaches its full enrollment of about 400 students, the nine-week periods will be staggered so one group of students will always be on a three-week break, officials said.

The approach allows 25 percent more students to attend the school over the course of a year.

The commission agreed to send another round of letters to the 100 counties in an effort to attract takers with an incentive package estimated at up to $625,000.

But few predicted success, citing rejection by 20 counties that had sought more information in the past year before withdrawing from consideration. .

I know what our county manager will do drop it in the waste basket, said Mary H. Odom, a new member to the commission. And I suspect many counties will do just the same. They just know what they read in the paper and it sounds horrible.

James B. Blackburn III, an at

torney for the N.C. Association of County Commissioners, agreed.

Theres a bonanza for some county, but in order to get to that bonanza some elected officials are going to change the minds of some people who feel, rightly or wrongly, very, very strongly about these issues, he said.

Its political suicide, but sooner or later somebody is going to get the big enchilada.

State officials say the regional agreement could help the recniiting effort.

Thats the nicest thing about it -no landfill, said Linda W. Little, executive director of the Governors Waste Management Board.

FarmvUle, Washington Among Safe N.C. Cities

David G. Prather, a spokesman for Martin, said a rough outline of the plan calls for three incinerators, three aqueous-treatment plants and two landfills to serve the North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.

North Carolina could choose from an aqueous-treatment plant or an incinerator, or both, Prather said. South Carolina and Alabama would agree to keep their landfills open for the ash and residue from the regions treatment plants.

Under the recently passed legislation, any regional agreement involving North Carolina would have to be approved by the N.C. General Assembly.

The pending plan is an effort to meet a federal requirement that all states have a plan in hand by Oct. 17 that would show that they are capable of meeting their disposal needs for hazardous waste for the next 20 years.

sentatives to Atlanta on Thursday for a meeting to discuss areas of agreement.

As it is, each state has something to offer, but no state alone is capable of meeting all of its needs, she said.

Georgia and Florida are considering offering treatment plants, and Tennessee has a private incinerator nd two treatment plants, she said. In addition to the landfill at Pinewood, S.C., there re two incinerators in South Carolina, she said.

CHARLOTTE - Fifty-five cities in North Carolina and South Carolina have been recognized by the AAA Carolina Motor Club for their record in pedestrian safety.

Five cities Brevard, Edeton and Garner, N.C., and Dillon and Maudlin, S.C. won top awards for outstanding safety records.

Edenton, at 15 years, has gone longer without a pedestrian fatality than any other competing city in either state.

Southern Pines, N.C., which has

Anderson, Columbia, Conway, Lancaster and Rock Hill, one year.

Cities with populations of 5,000 or more are eligible to participate in AAAs Pedestrian Protection Program. Communities are evaluated against other cities of comparable size and characteristics.

Otherwise, the EPA is empowered tid mo

to cut off federal Superfund money that is used to clean up priority hazardous-waste sites, 21 of which are in North Carolina.

Caron B. Falconer, an analyst for

not had a pedestrian fatality during alt(

the past 12 years, and Waiterboro, S.C., where a pedestrian has not bee killed in 11 years, also were singled out for special praise by the 67-year-old safety-oriented motor club.

Throughout the United States during 1988, there were a total of 8,800 pedestrian deaths, an increase of 200 from 1987. But pedestrian fatalities and injuries decreased in both North Carolina and South Carolina during the year.

In North Carolina, deaths dropped from 231 in 1987 to 218 in 1988. In South Carolina, they declined from 122 to 118. Injuries fell from 1,963 to 1,882 in North Carolina and from 1,183 to 1,146 in South Carolina.

While we always think we could do better, and that even a single pedestrian death during the year is too many, I would like to- say that we are encouraged by the decrease in fatalities and injuries in both our states, said Ralph Peters, president of the motor club.

The group also presents awards to all cities participating in the program which have not had a pedestrian fatality in at least one year.

North Carolina cities receiving these awards this year are: Washington, nine years; Newton, seven years; Morganton, six years; Farmville, five years; Kings Mountain, Rockingham and Selma, four years; Burlington, Chapel Hill, Dunn, Pl^outh and Roxboro, three years; Clinton, Concord, Lumberton, Mooresville and Waynesville, two years; and Albemarle, Belmont, Fayetteville, Hendersonville, Kinston, Rocky Mount, Shelby and Tarboro, one year.

Defense To Begin Case Monday In Taggart Trial

By Paul Nowell

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE David and Jam^ Taggart, on trial on charges of taking more than $l million in PTL money to bankroll their extravagant ^lifestyle, will finally get the chance to tell their side of the story this week.

ARer more than a week of compelling testimony from prosecution witnesses in the brothers federal tax-evasion trial, defense attorney Ben Gotten will begin his case sometime Monday.

1 think there will be some surprises, just as there have been some surprises on the prosecution side, Gotten said during a short break in the trial on Thursday.

Its been more than two years since the Taggarts were fired by PTL following the resignation of Jim Bakker, the founder of the television ministry which once took it more than $175 million in annual donations.

Gotten also did not rule out an appearance by Bakker, who was the defendants boss and close friend during the years the Taggarts were charged with evading $487,000 in income taxes.

Bakker and Richard Dortch his former top deputy at the now-bankrupt television ministry are scheduled to go on trial in Charlotte Aug. 28 on 24 counts of wire and mail fraud and conspiracy.

U.S. District Judge Robert Potter gave the jury the day off Friday.

Stones Tickets Gone

i RALEIGH (AP) - Ticket sales : records have been broken all over North America for the Rolling Stones historic tour this year, and North Carolina was no different Saturday.

Tickets for the rock groups Steel Wheels tour appearance Sept. 16 at Carter-Finley Stadium were sold out in about four hours, promoters said.

Tickets sellers at various outlets remarked about the wide range of ages of ticket buyers, from teenagers to couples in their late 40s. And officials said phone lines were tied up at ticket outlets for hours.

The ojwning act for the Rolling - Stones will be the rock group Living Colour.

* The Rolling Stones are being pre-

* sented in Raleigh by C & C Enter-

* tainment, in association with The BCL Group, the North American

* tour promoter.

The prosecution is expected to rest its case after about two hours of additional testimony Monday morning.

The Taggart brothers joined PTL in the late 1970s as piano players. Within a few years, David, 32, was promoted to Bakkers top personal aide and James, 35, became PTLs interior decorator.

Both were fired when Jerry Falwell took over at the television ministry following Bakkers resignation in March 1987 following revelations of the Jessica Hahn sex-and-money scandal.

Following a 16-month grand jury investigation into PTLs operation under Bakkers leadership, the Taggarts were charged with tax evasion and conspiracy last December.

Specifically, they are accused of diverting more than $1.1 million in PTL money to their own use by taking large cash advances and by using blank ministry checks to pay off their personal credit card bUls.

Government prosecutors David Brown and Joseph Bender have presented the jury with piles of documents to support charges that the defendants took huge sums of money between 1984 and 1987 without claiming it on their tax returns.

Beginning July 5, testimony from dozens of New York shopkeepers and friends of the Taggarts showed the defendants went on spending sprees in the most exclusive stores in Manhattan, Florida, California and Europe.

They always stayed at the nicest hotels and dined in the most expensive restaurants, prosecutors say. On one occasion, they chartered a private jet to take them and a friend to dinner at a restaurant in Laguna Beach, Calif.

Prosecutors charge the Taggants also used money donated to the tax-exempt religious organization to buy a $640,000 condominium in the exclusive Trump Tower New York skyscraper on 5th Avenue.

All the while, they lavished themselves and their friends with expensive jewelry, minks and trips to Europe, prosecutors allege.

When anyone asked the Taggarts about the source of their wealth, they were told fictitious stories of inheritances from their family back in Michigan.

Their father, Henry Taggart, to(A the stand early in the trial, saying the claims of family wealth were false. Reports that he owned several automobile dealerships were not true, the elder Taggart said.

During the trial, the Taggarts have sat quietly at the defense table.

jotting down notes and whispering to Gotten.

For about seven years, David Taggart served as Bakkers personal aide for all but a short time in 1983, when he left PTL for several months. Older brother James was an interior decorator whose firm Was paid more than $1.2 million over three years by PTL'.

If convicted, the Taggarts each could be sentenced to 25 years in prison and face fines totaling more than$l million.

On Thursday, the assistant manager of a Charlotte bank testified the Taggarts combined net worth grew from $171,000 to nearly $1.7 million from 1984 through 1987.

The information was included in a jersonal financial statement the )rothers provided to NCNB bank for an unsecured line of credit, said Judy Bailey, who was the assistant manager of the banks SouthPark branch. During those years, their reported taxable income was about $830,000.

The prosecutions case has focused on the expensive tastes of the Taggarts. The jury has heard about a $96,000 ring and an $85,000 diamond and sapphire pin purchased at Cartier in New York.

Theyve also heard about trips on private jets and the Concord, European vacations, mink coats, luxury automobiles and other items.

Besides their New York condo, the Taggarts also owned a $330,000 home in Charlotte and regularly purchased hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of jewelry and designer clothes, prosecutors say.

PTL financial officers have testified in the trial that David Taggart routinely took large cash advances and failed to provide receipts to substantiate the advances, which was PTL policy.

Peter Bailey, who was PTLs vice president of finance during most of the time the Taggarts were at the organization, testified that he once wrote off $215,000 in unsubstantiated cash advances to David Taggart.

Bailey also testified the younger Taggart used four blank PTL checks to pay $140,000 in American Express bills.

During the trial, witnesses also have testified that James Taggart was paid $10,000 alhonth for his design work at PTLs Christian retreat in nearby Fort Mill, S.C.

According to prosecutors, James Taggart also had a guaranteed contract to be paid at least $100,000 and' as much as $250,000 by PTL.

Rains May Hurt Leaf Quality

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAYETTEVILLE - The heavy rains this year have been a welcome sight for corn and soybeans, but crops such as tobacco and sweet potatoes may be a washout, agriculture officials say.

If youre a farmer considering the rainfall, youre pleased right now, basicajly, said James Goff, agricultural extension director in Harnett County. It would depend on the crop and what stage its in.

Probably, the rain has hurt tobacco as much as any crop in our area. If it kept on raining, it could ruin our sweet potato crop, Goff said. Com and soybeans ... are probably better off.

Goff said the rains will likely diminish the quality of the tobacco crop.

The wet weather also increases the risk of disease and other moisture-related complications for crops.

llie rain has caused more outbreaks of tobacco diseases such as Granville wilt, black shank and brown spt, officials said. It also has washed away fertilizers and nutrients such as nitrogen and sulfur

from some fields, leaving tobacco prematurely yellow, they said.

You see those problems every year, Peter Hight, an agronomist for the N.C. Department of Agriculture, told The Fayetteville Times. I would say theyre probably a little worse than normal because wet conditions favor infection.

Waterlogged soil tends to cut off

oxygen to the root system of crops, effectively drowning part of the root, Hight said. That forces the plant to seek food and water with a limited root system, he said.

If you see a problem in the upper part of the plant, you can bet there is something going wrong underneath, Hight said. There is some good tobacco around, Imt I dont think this will be one of the best years.

Exxon Valdez Leaking Oil

By Dennis Georgatos

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO New tests confirmed that the crippled tanker Exxon Valdez is. leaking crude oil as it sits offshore in rough seas, but the oil is decomposing, the Coast Guard said Saturday. ;

We do have some very weathere^l and degraded traces of crude oil in the slick, said Coast Guard Lt. Larry Solberg. Theres also heavy concentrations of organic components.

Microorganisms and plankton made up some of the organic compounds found with the crude, Solberg said. More tests are being conducted to determine the toxicity of the materials.

There was no immediate word on how the results of the test would affect plans to repair the Exxon Valdez, which ran aground March 24 in Alaska and spilled neai -ly 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound.

The tanker was towed 2,500 miles to California for extensive repairs to its shredded hull. It has been barred from enteritg port, however, because five steel plates that peeled from the ships frame during the voyage must be cut off before it can fit through me bay chan nel,

The new round of tests wert dered after the Coast Guard and state Fish and Gan^. Department arrived at different conclusions after analyzing one of the sheens created off the coast of San Diego.

Wildlife officials concluded the 18-mile-long slick contained traces of petroleum products, but the Coast Guard tests determined it consisted of unidentified organic matter and was oil-free.

The discrepancy prompted a second test by the Coast Guard

Ihe tests were conducted on samples from the slick ajwtted near the Valdez when it arrived off the San Diego coast Monday

The ship, about 6o miles offshore, is still discharging a small amount of a blue-brown slick into the water, Solberg said. But it has been conf ined to the immediate area of the ship and dissipated rapidly.

Meanwhile, sea conditions have worsened in the area and the Valdez crew, along with the tugboat towing it, were trying to move the vessel to a new position to better withstand the 10-foot swells and six-foot seas, he said.

State Attorney General John Van de Kamp on Friday filed a precautionary lawsuit Friday in San Diego Superior Court which seeks to ensure that the taScer remains outside California waters until officials are satisfied its free of toxic materials.

Although Exxon Shipping Co. has shown a willingness to cooperate. Van de Kamp said he filed the lawsuit to ensure the existence of an enforcement mechanism for whatever agreement we are able to reach with Exxon.

Exxon spokeswoman Jan Cool declined to comment on the states action, saying company officials hadnt yet been able to review it.

Chevron Tanker Hits Bottom

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - A Chevron tanker carrying 16.5 million gallons of crude oil ran aground 10 miles south of here, but there was no oil leakage or damage to the vessels hull, a Coast Guard spokesman said Saturday.

The 785-foot tanker, the R. Hal Dean, became stuck in mud about 6 p.m Friday and was refloated by 10:15 a.m. Saturday, said Cmdr. James Gormanson of the Coast Guard office in Mobile, Ala. Five tugboats were used.

Beginning about 4:30 a.m., they took 125,000 barrels off the vessel to raise the vessel from the mud, Gormanson said. No spill was noted.

We know of no oil in the water, said Larry Shanks, manager of - operations at Chevrons Pascagoula refinery.

The tanker had been en route to

the refinery when it ran aground near the junction of the Pascagoula and Horn Island channels. The Coast Guard closed a channel while crews refloated the vessel.

The tanker continued on to the refinery after being refloated. Its

hull will be inspected by divers'before the ship puts out to sea again, said Petty Officer Scott Green of Coast Guards Mobile, Ala., office.

The R. Hal Dean is a lightering vessel, which off-loads supertankers in the Gulf and carries the crude oil to port. Shanks said.

Police Have Viable Suspect Following Green River Search

By Tim Klass

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE - Authorities obtained a court order to search the homes of a Green River serial killings suspect because they hoped to find records detailing aliases he may have used, a top police commander said.

But what poj^c took Wednesday from two Sppkane residences used by William Ja^ Stevens II were 55 cartons and bags of materials including 1,800 videotapes, travel receipts, police uniforms, more than two dozen firearms and about 100 police badges.

Police suspected Stevens, a onetime Gonzaga Univerity law student who has b^n jailed since January on unrelated charges, of using aliases that could not be checked out without obtaining records from his house, said King County police Capt. Robert C. Evans, commander of the Green River Task Force.

That was the only reason we did the search warrant, he said in an interview in Saturday editions of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. We know he kept a lot of records.

Stevens, 38, has not been charged in any of the deaths and disappearances and denies any involvement in the case. But in a court document released Thursday, he was labeled a viable suspect in what has been called the nations worst unsolved serial killings case.

Evans said it would take a month to examine the large amount of material taken under search warrant from two Spokane homes used by Stevens. One thing was ruled out, though, he said: The items did not include any clothing, jewelry or other effects from Green River victims.

Police would not comment on the contents of the videotapes found in the two residences, except to say

Polluted River Burns

MOSCOW (AP) A peasant threw a cigarette butt into an oil-polluted Ukrainian river and set it on fire Saturday, destroying two bridges and burning himself, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported.

The Nuren River in the Zhitomir District had been contaminated by an oil spill five days earlier, Tass said. About 105,000 gallons of oil flowed into the river after a bulldozer split a pipeline near the village of Malye Moshki.

The stream blazed for five hours along a distance of several miles, the news agency said.

that at least some of them were homemade.

The Green River killer, named for a stream south of Seattle where some victims were found, has been blamed for the deaths of as many as 48 Northwest women, many of them prostitutes, beginning seven years ago this month.

Evans said the search warrants of the homes were sought because Stevens attorneys had not allowed their client to talk to police.

We tried not to have to do this, Evans said. We made over a dozen efforts to interview him so we wouldnt have to go through this process.

But Craig Beles, a lawyer for Stevens, accused the task force of grasping at straws and said his client is concerned hes being singled out as the answer to a longtime investigation.

He said Stevens is a colorful character, but hes no murderer.

In a lengthy affidavit used to obtained a search warrant, friends of Stevens are quoted as saying he believed prostitutes were spreading AIDS, wanted to make films of holers being dismembered and told others the killing of Green River victims had been filmed.

Stevens is jailed in Seattle, serving a one-year term for the burglary of a police equipment supply store in 1979 and additional time for walking away from a work-rejease center in 1981.

While police identified Stevens several years ago as someone to check, Evans said Manhunt, a nationally syndicated television show broadcast last December about the Green River killing, prompted a phone call directing investigators to Gonzaga University.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -Thats one small step, for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

Twenty years have passed, nearly a generation, since Neil Armstrong called those momentous words down from the moon.

Two decades since Earthlings watched th(e flickering television images, saw that tentative first step on the dusty surface and looked on in wonder as two Americans hopped about in weak gravity, planted and saluted their flag, picked up bits of lunar treasure and spoke with their president a quarter million miles away.

Most people living then can tell you today where they were when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took those first steps on the moon Sunday, July 20,1969.

They were realizing a goal that John F. Kennedy had set in frustration and desperation.

Kennedy came to office in January 1961 with a pledge to get this country moving again. The economy was sluggish, Fidel Castro had taken over Cuba, and the United States trailed the Soviets in the highly visible arena of space.

The space chasm widened April 12, 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri A. Gagarin blasted into orbit, the first man to fly in space.

American prestige was rocked again five days later. On April 17, a brigade of Cuban exiles, sponsored by the Central Intelligence Agency, stormed the beach at Cubas Bay of Pigs in an effort to overthrow Castro. His forces routed the ill-equipped exiles, leaving the United States and its young president in shame and disarray.

Kennedy accepted the blame and decided bold action was needed to restore Americas honor. Space was the answer, he concluded, and he gave Vice President Lyndon

Young Pilot Ends Trip

MOSCOW (AP) An 11-year-old American pilot completed his trip across the Soviet Union on Saturday when he took off from the Siberian town of Anadyr for Alaska, the official Soviet news agency Tass said.

Tony Aliengena, accompanied by his father and a Soviet pilot, dealt with icy wings and flew through mountains at low altitude to become the first private pilqt to traverse Siberia, which stretches across 12 time zones, Tass said.

The boy from San Juan Capistrano, Calif., is trying to become the youngest pilot to fly around the globe. Saturdays flight across the Bering Strait to Nome will bring him back to his native land.

But for the world record, he must stiU fly down the coast of North America to California to return to his starting point in Orange County, Calif.

Also flying in his plane and in a second aircraft were his mother, sister, a Russian pen pal and a documentary film crew.

Johnson the task of determining what could be done.

On April 28, the National Aeronautics and Space Council, which Johnson chaired, submitted a preliminary report to the president. The moon is a good target for us, it said.

Even as the president and his advisers were discussing moon trips, some in the administration were concerned about the first U.S. man-in-space flight, now set for May 2. With everything going wrong for the nation, the impact of a failure could be devastating.

But Kennedy let the launch date stand, and, on May 5, after a three-day weather delay, astronaut Alan Shepard rode a slender Redstone rocket and a cramped Mercury capsule 115 miles up and 302 miles down the Atlantic tracking range on a 15-minute suborbital flight.

America heaved a sigh of relief. The Soviets were still ahead, but the United States was on the move.

On May 25, four months after taking office, Kennedy delivered a special State of the Union message on urgent national needs. It covered many subjects, from the economy to disarmament. It also dealt with space.

I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important to the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.

The project was called Apollo after the Greek archer-god, the god of light and truth, bright-shining, far-shooting.

Christopher C. Kraft Jr., who would become flight operations director for Apollo, was a NASA engineer working on the Mercury project.

I thought he had lost his mind, Kraft said of Kennedy and his bold commitment. We had a total of 15 minutes of manned spaceflight experience, we hadnt flown Mercury in orbit yet, and heres a guy telling me were going to fly to the moon.... Doing it was one thing, but doing it in this decade was to me too risky. Despite thIMoubts of Kraft and others within NASA, Americas biggest, costliest and most ambitious technological effort began with virtually no dissent. Before it was achieved, more than 20,000 industrial contractors and 420,000 technicians, engineers and other skilled persons would be involved.

While the hardware of Apollo was being developed and tested, Americans and Russians were learning to live and work in space and to perfect the rockets, spaceships and techniques for going to the moon.

To a watching world, it was like a relay race in space. The Russians, with their larger booster rockets and larger manned spacecraft, held the early lead.

John Glenn in 1962 was hailed as Americas first orbital champion. Three more Mercury orbital flights proved man could survive and func-

tion for at least a short time in weightless space.

NASA moved on in 1965 to the two-man Gemini program, and 10 exciting flights in 20 months tested and proved all the rendezvous and docking and space walking procedures needed to travel to the moon.

The Russians, too, were perfecting these techniques. But by early 1967, as the United States was ready to move into manned Apollo flights, America seemed to have a slight lead, based on superior computer and other technologies.

Then, tragedy.

In a countdown test on Jan. 27,

1967, a month before the planned launch, faulty wiring released a spark Uiat touched off an inferno inside the Apollo 1 cabin. The flames, intensified by the 100 percent oxygen environment, incinerated the three-man crew, Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee.

Three months after the Apollo fire, cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov rode into orbit in a new spacecraft named Soyuz, believed to be a test model for a lunar command ship. After a day in orbit, as he returned to Earth, Soyuz 1 tumbled, became tangled in its parachute straps and crashed. Komarov became the worlds first in-flight space casualty.

In both countries, critics brought their guns to bear on both space programs. Each was halted for nearly two years while"repairs were made.

Apollo was reexamined, rewired, redesigned and finally flew. ApoUo 7 orbited the Earth for 11 days in October 1968, and then, in a bold move, NASA officials decided to fly the three-man Apollo 8 crew into orbit about the moon on Christmas Eve

1968.

They reasoned the flight would provide vital information about navigating to and around the moon, buy time while the lagging lunar landing module was readieid, and rob the Soviets of any glory they might reap by looping one man once around the backside of the moon on a translunar trajectory; there was a widely reported rumor that the Soviets were ready to do just that.

The mission was a hupe, uplifting success, and two more flights, one in which two astronauts swooped to within 10 miles of the lunar surface, set the stage for the main event, Apollo 11.

More than 1 million people tourists, congressmen, diplomats, business people, reporters and movie stars came to watch the launch at the Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969. All eyes stared at the sheet of flame as the mighty Saturn 5 rose ponderously from Launch Pad 39A, precisely on schedule at 9:32 a.m., and sent a thunderclap across the scrubland.

In the spaceship on the tip of the rocket were Neil Alden Armstrong, 38, a civilian, the commander. Air Force Col. Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.,

39, the lunar module pilot, and Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Collins, 38, the command module pilot ambassadors from planet Earth headed for a target 250,801 miles away.

Fours days later they were in lunar orbit, 60 miles high, ready for the descent to the surface.

Armstrong and Aldrin climbed through a tunnel into the spider-like lunar module they called Eagle, while Collins remained in the command module named Columbia.

The two craft separated behind the moon, out of radio contact with Earth. Tense minutes passed on the ground until the two ships emerged from behind the moon and Armstrong reported: The Eagle has wings.

Again they passed behind the moon, where Eagles descent engine was fired, slowing the LM and dropping it into an orbit with a low point just 9.8 miles above the surface.

Once they reached this closest approach, Armstrong had five seconds to decide whether to fire the descent engine again or to abort and fly back to Columbia. He pressed the button to restart the engine.

Landing on the Sea of Tranquillity was 12 minutes away.

Suddenly, guidance computer alarm lights began to flash in the cabin. The computer was overloaded and Eagle was rapidly approaching an abort situation.

A young guidance engineer in Houston, 26-year-old Stephen Bales, saw the computer was being asked to solve too many problems, but by checking altitude and other radio data, he recognized that it was solving all the right problems.

Bales, through capsule communicator Charles Duke, passsed this information to the astronauts in a series of dramatic gos.

But there was more trouble ahead.

Because Eagle was moving 15 mph too fast due to a navigation error, its landing target was 4 miles west of the intended spot. Armstrong reported they were headed into field of large boulders and craters.

Armstrong needed 90 seconds to find a smooth touchdown spot. The maneuvering dropped the fuel supply dangerously low, and Eagle had only about 12 seconds to spare when Armstrong shut off the engine.

Houston. Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed, Armstrong reported.

Man landed on the moon at 4:17 p.m. EDT on Sunday, July 20,1969. That was just 164 days before the end-of-the-decade goal Kennedy had set eight years earlier.

In Londons Trafalgar Square, crowds screamed and applauded. In New Yorks Yankee Stadium, the baseball scoreboard flashed Theyre On The Moon! The stadium filled with cheers, then there was a moment of silence before the 35,000 fans sang America the Beautiful.

At Tranquillity Base, with no problems and excitement running high, Armstrong and Aldrin asked permission to step outside early, skipp

ing a planned four-hour rest period.

Mission Control agreed and the two moonmen struggled into their boots, gloves, helmets and backpacks. They depressurized the cabin, and Armstrong backed down the nine-rung ladder to the first step on the dusty lunar surface. It was 10:56 p.m. EDT.

Thats one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

It was a sentence he said later had come to him after he was on the moon. It was a statement that was natural in the sense of the time, he said.

For several ^inutes, Armstrong carefully tested the firmness of the soil and his ability to move about in a gravity field only one-sixth the strength of Earths.

He said Tranquillity Base was strewn with boulders and pocked with thousands of small craters. Magnificent desolation, Aldrin exclaimed after following Armstrong to the surface.

A television camera they mounted on a post 60 feet away provided more than 500 million viewers with a ringside seat to history.

Armstrong and Aldrin planted a 3-by-5-foot American flag, and Aldrin stepped back and saluted it. Wire stiffeners enabled it to stand out in the airless vacuum. But they made it plain they came as representatives of all nations when they unveiled a stainless steel plaque bearing these words, Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon, July 1%9 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.

President Richard Nixon spoke to the moonwalkers from the White House, telling them their mission inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to the world.

The astronauts gathered more than 50 pounds of rocks and set up three scientific experiments.

It was after midnight and time to return to Eagles cabin. Aldrin had been outside 1 hour 44 minutes, Armstrong 2 hours 14 minutes.

After several hours of fitful rest in the uncomfortable cabin, they fired Eagles ascent engine and blasted off. Eagle caught up with Columbia, and Eagle, no longer needed, was jettisoned, to orbit the moon for several weeks before lunar gravity tugged it down to a crash landing.

Early ie next morning, Collins triggered Columbias engine and drew a bead on planet Earth.

On July 24, eight days after launch, Columbia splashed down in warm Polynesian waters, landing just nine miles from the carrier USS Hornet.

Nixon was on deck but could not shake th hands of the space travelers. They immediately went into an airtight trailer, quarantined for 16.

days, to protect Earth from possible contamination from moon germs.

Back in Houston, those in Mission Control cheered, smoked victory cigars and waved American flags. Flashed on the huge display screen were the 1961 words of Kennedy, setting the United States on a track to the moon. Above them: Task accomplished ... July 1969.

The astronauts traveled to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston, where eager scientists began studying the rocks they had gathered for clues to the moons origin.

After the astronauts release Aug. 10, millions turned out to hail the new heroes during tours that took them to cities around the world.

NASA had hoped to ride the tide of Apollo 11 enthusiasm to chart a bold space agenda for the future. Thomas Paine, the agencys administrator, proved permanent manned space stations, a base on the moon, a manned flight to Mars before 1990 and a fleet of reusable space planes to shuttle between Earth and space.

But space officials misread the national mood. The public followed Apollo as a race with the Russians and, with Apollo 11, perceived the contest was won.

The country was torn by Vietnam. The racial and campus turmoil of the late 1960s had prompted much of the press and some politicians to view the space effort and its $20 billion pricetag as a symbol of misplaced national priorities.

NASAs dreams were derailed by Congress and the Nixon administration. Only the space shuttle survived, first flying in 1981.

Today the U.S. space program has reached another critical juncture.

The shuttle is flying again following the 1986 Challenger explosion, and the space agency once again has blueprints for a space station and for building a base on the moon and dispatching men to Mars early next century.

President Bush has endorsed the space station, but the project is encountering opposition in Congress because of its high cost.

Bush has asked Vice President Dan Quayle, as head of a revitalized National Space Council, to study all the options and to recommend a course of action.

Aldrin, reflecting recently on Apollo 11, said he hoped the focus on the 20th anniversary would become a catalyst for the country to chart a bold course for human expansion outward.

Summit Offers Glimpse Of Mysteries Of Protocol

By Michael Goldsmith

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS - When Britains Margaret Thatcher and Zaires Mobutu Sese Seko arrived to view the lavish military parade on the Champs-Elysees marking Frances bicentennial, they automatically strode up to the front row, befitting their place as leaders of their countries.

' Embarrassed French officials had to show them to their seats at the back of the bullet-proof stand.

The seating order, the officials explained, was dictated by protocol.

But how that magic formula is determined rernains a mystery.

The summit of the worlds seven richest nations, the simultaneous meeting of some two dozen Third World leaders and the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution were all ruled by protocol.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman said Saturday the seven were led by France, the host nation, followed in order by the United States, Britain, West Germany, Canada, laly and Japan. The spokesman said the order was determined by the years the leader had held his office.

Protocol placed President Bush, barely six months into his term, ahead of the others Because he, like Mitterrand, is a head of state and not merely a head of government.

like Mrs. Thatcher and the rest.

The official could not give any motivation for the order in which the leaders of the other 27 countries most of whom went home Saturday were ranked.

Protocol was invented by the French before the French Revolution as a set of rules for the behavior of diplomats.

As host, French President Francois Mitterrand was able to use protocol to get his message across, putting emphasis where he felt it was due and, perhaps, putting world leaders such as Thatcher in their place.

As master of ceremonies, Mitterrand was able to control events, from how the heads of government

lined up for the official photograph to the order in which they made their getaways by limousine.

Mobutu, who was not invited but came anyway, is on the French gov-ernments blacklist for his dheckered human rights record.

Wearing his trademark leopard skin cap, Mobutu strode to the front row of every meeting, only to find he was seated inconspicuously at the back.

Mrs. Thatcher was booed by the French public Friday for recalling the incredible terror of their hallowed revolution and likening it to latter day exterminations in communist lands.

Mrs. Thatcher had a place of honor on Mitterrands left in the formal group photo taken of the seven; Bush was on his right.

- what else? upsetting protocol.

When the order of departure was finally sorted out, President Felix Houphouet-Boigny of the Ivory Coast, a leader of the underprivileged countries, was first out of the

gate*, followed swiftly by Bush.

In the confusion, the leaders cars got out of order and some almost collided. President Omar Bongo of Gabon decided to return to his hotel on foot.

since she was the only lady among the leaders, a Foreign Ministry spokesman explained.

But at the inauguration of the new opera house at the Bastille, Mrs. Thatcher found she had to take a back seat with Mobutu, while Bush was in front, alongside Indias Rajiv Gandhi and Brazils Jose Sarney.

At Fridays military parade, the British prime minister was among the last allowed to leave the bulletproof enclosure encircling the leaders. Japans Uno was also in the rearguard.

Mitterrand and his motocycle escort left first, as is the custom for the host.

But the arrangements for the others had not been made clear in advance. So, for several minutes, the leaders sat on their red velvet chairs not daring to move for fear of

PARIS Finance ministers of the seven major industrial nations agreed Saturday to set up an international task force to trace laundered drug money.

Japanese Deputy Finance Minister Toyoo Gyoten said the ministers expressed grave concern that such laundering eventually will really undermine the credibility of the financial systems.

The ministers spoke of the problem during talks organized as part of the seven-nation Paris summit ending Sunday.

A British spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said the task force would presumably operate under the aegis of the International Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements, and the 24-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Gyoten told reporters, There was a clear understanding, an agreement that efforts should be strengthened to prevent the utilization of banks and other financial institutions for the purpose of money-laundering.

Canadian Foreign Minister Joseph

Clark said the drug problem was a dominant topic among the heads of state at dinner Friday night and lunch Saturday.

There is a general sense this is a' major international problem to-which the response is not ad^uate, that there needs to be more irnagi- nation and effectiveness in devising a more effective response both to the demand problem and source problem, Clark told a news conference.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher outlined at Saturdays afternoon session her plan to hold an international conference in Britain this fall on ways of curbing demand for drugs, primarily through educational programs.

Mrs. Thatcher regards damping down demand as a key complement to pressure from industrialized countries on Third World nations to curb the production of drugs, particularly cocaine and crack.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS - Slung with ID. tags and touting lenses worth more than the per capita income of poorer countries, 6,000 journalists descended on Paris to report on the summit of the worlds seven richest nations and revel in the glamour of the French bicentennial celebrations.

The summit and the media circus moved into the barely-completed Arche de La Defense, the glittering 35-story cube that crowns the La Defense business district on Paris western edge.

Camera crews relished the panorama from the 54-step climb to the marble base of the Arche, a structure that forced writers to dust off their architectural vocabulary: the consensus settled on postmodernist.

Close-mouthed about the cost, the French have splashed out the hospitality for the more than 30 heads of state and the journalists who traced their every move. Open bars and four 500-seat tented pavillions at the Arche offered 23,000 lavish meals to ravenous reporters during the summit weekend.

The timing of the summit after President Bushs Eastern European tour and the bicentennial festivities have brought out the media stars.

ABCs Peter Jennings, CBSs Dan Rather and NBCs Tom Brokaw all broadcast from famous Parisian sites.

The festivities and the summit stretched logistics organizers to the limit.

Each time we try to do smarter and better with less people, says Lloyd Siegel of NBC, which has a team of about 50 on the mission. Like other media organizations, NBC has added staff but mainly to handle the bicentennial side or themiDAS

economic issues.

The military parades, dance extravaganzas and the fireworks bursting over the summer crowds have provided a colorful finish to Bushs headline-tabbing swing through Poland anoHungary.

ABC network originated its Business World show from here.

ABCs Good Morning America also broadcast a special on the bicentennial from Notre Dame cathedral, while NBC originated Today from the Quai de Tournelle.

Each of the three major networks lined up top Bush adminstration officials for its Sunday morning talk shows Secretary of State James A. Baker III on ABC, national security adviser Brent Scowcroft on CBS and White House Chief of Staff John Sununu on NBC. '

Shuttle At Launch Pad; Celebration Of Apollo Trip Set

By Howard Benedict

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Columbia moved to the launch pad Saturday as workers got set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the liftoff of another spaceship with the same name, the one that carried the first men to the moon.

flight with five astronauts who are to release a secret military spy Meanwhile, others made preparations for Sundays commemoration of the fhght of the first Columbia.

It was July 16,1969, that an Apollo command module Columbia blasted away from the Kennedy Space Center here with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Four days later, Armstrong and, Aldrin climbed into the lunar landing vehicle Eagle and descended to the moon.

After an historic 22 hours on the surface, the moonwalkers rejoined Collins in mother ship Columbia for the three-day trip home.

The three were at the Marshall Space FU^t Center in Huntsville, Ala., on Saturday for a ceremony there before coming here here to join with thousands Sunday in rememberii^ the launch of the Apollo 11 mission.

Outside Uie giant shuttle assembly building, where Apollos Saturn 5 rockets once were put together, the former astronauts will make brief remariis and listen to a tape recording of the final minutes of their countdown.

The taped liftoff will occur at 9:32 a.m. Sunday, precisely the time they left Earth.

As the shuttle Columbia moved to the pad, shuttle launch director Bob Sieck lo(died back at its namesake.

Twenty years ago there was another spaceship, also called Columbia, and it was out at the pad, he said. It had an important mission and an important payload. This parallels it. Shuttle Columoia also has an important mission and an important payload.

It also will prove we have three arbiters, and that is significant, Sieck said.

Columbia will be making its first flight since the Challenger explosion years ago. The other two shuttles. Discovery and Atlantis, each have been launched twice since flights resumed last September.

After the ceremony here Sunday morning, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins will ride 20 miles in a motorcade to Cocoa ^ch, where they will be honored at a luncheon. On 'Diursday, the 20th anniversary of the moon landing, the trio will join President Bush for a ceremony at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.

NASA earlier had set July 31 as the date for launching shuttle Columbia. But agency officials said Thursday that preparations were behind schedule and that a liftoff now is expected during the first week in August. A firm launch date wUl be set July 26 following a two-day meeting called a flight readiness review.

Columbias all-military crew is to deploy a classified Defense Depdrtment (iayload believed to be an advanced reconnaissance satellite.

While the counterparts from 1969 are being honored, the shuttle astronauts till fly here Sunday from Houston, in preparation for some nractice sessions Monday and Tuesday.

The crew is conunanded by Air Force Col. Brewster H. Shaw Jr. The Others are Navy Cmdr. Richard N. Richards, Navy Cmdr. David C. leestma. Air Force Lt. Col. James C. Adamson and Air Force Maj. Mark N. frown.

PALMDALE, Calif. - A low ^ding on a fuel pressure gauge Saturday thwarted the first flight of

^ B-2 stealth bomber, whose future finding depends on the Air Force getting the radar-evading aircraft }f the ground.

SThe plane, already 18 months jid schedule and budgeted at J million each, will make another in about two days. Senate Armed idces Committee Chairman Sen. Nunn has expressed fears that most expensive plane in history Id become a stealth taxi.

About one hour after dawn, the it-winged plane rolled out to its away near Air Force Plant 42, the complex where it was built, four engines growled quietly and revved up and down as the ' awaited final word for takeoff, the wait, a Cessna 182 with Porterville, Calif., schoolteacher his niece and nephew on board ide an emergency landing near plant after the pilot, Brian told authorities he was off- and lost, lut Air Force officials insisted it a low fuel pressure gauge iding on the bomber, and not the pivate plane landing in the ricted area, that caused the jy.

During normal aircraft checklist procedures, it was determined that the fuel pressure reading for takeoff Mwer settings were reading too ow, said Col. Douglas Kennett, an Air Force spokesman. In accordance with normal safety procedures, Uie aircraft returned to the hangar.... Tbe first flight will occur no earlier tium two to th^ days.

Air Force officials refused to say what measures would be taken to correct the fuel gauge reading. They said ttiey did iu>t immediately know whether it was a problem with the gauge or the system itself.

The aircraft, Northrop and Air Force officials say, is the most thoroughly tested in history without having been flown. It has undergone years of hangar testing in computer flight simulations. However, it is not unusual for problems to materialize when an airplane is ready for flight.

The Air Force spokesman said people were still upbeat after the Saturday maiden voyage flight was canceled.

We are still ready, Keimett said. We will be up when it is time. We are still looking forward to the first flight.

Resentment Hangs Over Chappaquiddick Island

By Robert W. Trott

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Incident A Source Of Embarrassment To Residents

harsh words for the snator.

He was worried about himself, not Mary Jo, Joseph Kopechne

CHAPPAQUIDDICK ISLAND, Mass. - Its not even the same bridge anymore. New posts and guardrails have been added, but that was some time ago, and now Dike Bridge is rotting. Gulls fly over and drop shellfish on it to break open their supper.

Not much to it. No signs, no reminders.

But Dike Bridge is on Chappaquiddick,

It lives oversized in American political history because Sen. Edward M. Kennedy drove his Oldsmobile off the bridge into Poucha Pond around midnight 20 years ago.

Mary Jo Kopechne, a 28-year-old Washington secretary, was found dead in the back seat about 10 hours later. Kennedy, then 37, did not notify police until 9:30 a.m., long after he returned to his hotel, across the water on Marthas Vineyard.

He said he and two friends repeatedly dove to the car in unsuccessful rescue attempts, and that he was then exhausted and in a state of shock.

Since the accident the night of Ju

ly 18, 1969, Massachusetts voters have re-elected Kennedy four times to the Senate by healthy margins. But most people think the string of events that occurred after he left a cottage party that night probably cost him the White House.

The incident has been an albatross around the islands neck as well.

Like Kennedy, most longtime Chappaquiddick residents dont like to discuss the accident. It is a bitter memory, the day th'eir pastoral existence became the focus of the worst sort of publicity the heir to the Kennedy family dynasty had sullied not just his reputation but theirs, too.

When asked about the accident and the impact its had on their lives, Vineyarders who have lived in Edgartown or on Chappaquiddick Island for more than 20 years often become silent.

One Edgartown real estate agent, usually smiling and friendly, momentarily choked up when asked about the accident and then refused to discuss it.

Marthas Vineyard Historical Preservation Society, has lived in Edgartown eight years. She has sensed some of her neighbors resentment about the incident.

Marthas Vineyard, pre-Chappa-quiddick, was sort of a quiet vacation spot. The international attention that centered here immediately after the incident and during the trial, and the focus that has been put on the Vineyard since then, has really unfortunately put the Vineyard on the map, Tomassian said.

Kennedy eventually pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and received a two-month suspended prison sentence. He was placed on probation for one year.

Judge James A. Boyle, who oversaw the nine-month inquest, expressed doubt about key portions of Kennedys testimony. \^en Boyles final report was released in April 1970, the case was officially closed. But public debate over its ramifications continues. '

The Dike Bridge connects a beautiful strip of beach with the rest of Chappaquiddick Island, at the eastern side of Marthas Vineyard. In May, tall fences were erected on either side of the bridge long since closed to vehicular traffic and the only way to reach the beach now is to drive an all-terrain vehicle south for about five miles before doubling back north.

Town officials are concerned about safety at the bridge, but sporadic arguments over the years reveal another factor in the move to tear it down embarrassment over the dubious tourist attraction.

Most tourists dont journey to Marthas Vineyard soley to see the scene of what has been called the most famous traffic fatality in the history of American politics. But, as long as theyre down there, its right across the ferry...

Yeah, people ask about it every day, said a teen-age girl running the four-car ferry from Edgartown to Chappaquiddick Island. We get a car asking on every trip across.

Once tourists get out to Dike Bridge, theres not a lot to see just a simple wooden bridge across a decidedly uninteresting pond. Beyond the bridge are the dunes, and still farther the vast blue of Nantucket Sound.

They find themselves very disappointed, said Patrie Jamo, a waiter at a restaurant on the edge of

Edgartown Harbor. Theres really nothing there.

Linda Malcouronne, the president of the Edgartown Board of Trade and manager of the Colonial Inn, contends the bridge isnt that much of a tourist draw. She says most of the summertime tourists choose the Vineyard for other reasons and visitors might not even be aware of the significance of the bridge.

Its a whole other time, a time

warp, Malcouronne said.

Expedition To Exhume Cannibal Victims

M'*

By Denis Searles

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

r-'

It'"

, DENVER The century-old legend of an admitted cannibal has become grist for local jokes and promotions, but a legal exj^rt hopes the tools of modern forensic science Will lay to rest questions about the case.

; 'Alferd G. Packer admitted eating the flesh of some of his five fellow gold prospectors in 1874, but claimed he did so to avert starvation after the men died while marooned in the San Juan Mountains. He was eventually convicted of manslaughter after two trials nearly a decade later.

On Monday, a group of anthropologists, archaeologists and pathologists will attempt to exhume the remains of the five victims near the mountain town of Lake City, about 170 miles southwest of Denver.

The expedition is the brainchild of James E. Starrs, a professor of law and forensic sciences at George Washington Universitys Law Center in Washington.

Starrs has used the Packer case as an example in his classes because of the nature of the evidence presented at his two murder trials. He believes scientific examination of the 115-year-old remains will determine whether Packer really killed the gold diggers and then ate them.

Packers admitted cannibalism has made him a bizarre folk-hero especially at the University of Colorado Alferd Packer Grill, where annual eating contests mark the end

of the school year.

The legend arose out of the Colorado Rockies in the winter of 1874. '

Packer, a 42-year-old harness maker plagued with epilepsy, convinced a group of prospectors in Utah he could lead them to the Colorado gold fields. Five men stayed with him until they became marooned in the San Juan Mountains.

On April 16, 1874, a rosy-cheeked Packer walked into the Los Pinos Indian Agency, at what is now the town of Sagauche. Authorities became suspicious when they found he was carrying several neatly wrapped packages of human flesh.

Packer admitted shooting one man. Shannon Wilson Bell, in self defense, but said Bell killed the other four with a hatchet while he was looking for a route out of the mountains. He claimed starvation drove him to eat the flesh of the dead prospectors.

Several months later, Packer fled just before artist John A. Randolph, on assignment for Harpers Weekly, discovered and sketched the five bodies.

Packer was arrested in 1883 in Cheyenne, Wyo., and was taken to the then-new mining camp of Lake City where he was convicted of murdering one of the prospectors, Israel Swan.

The state Supreme Court overturned that sentence. Packer then was retried for all five murders and convicted of manslaughter at Gunnison. In addition to Bell and Swan, the victims included George Noon, James Humphrey and Frank Miller.

In 1886, Packer was sentenced to

40 years. He was paroled in 1901 and died April 24,1907.

Last summer, Starrs visited Lake City and says he located the burial site of the five men near a bronze and stone memorial to the victims set amid wildlfowers and clover a mile outside of town.

Until we see a bone ... we cant be 100 percent certain, but the place has been maintained as a grave site since the early part of this century, said Patrick Zickler, editor of Starrs Scientific Sleuthing Review.

Starrs says the bones should be in good enough condition to determine how the men died.

From the bones we will be able to see bullet holes and hatchmarks where the skinning knife might have scraped the.bones. Well be able to tell if the victims were cannibalized, if they were struck by a hatchet blow, if they were really near starvation, Starrs said.

My personal feelings are well find more bullet wounds than described, Zickler said. My pet theory is that Bell and Packer conspired against the others because of the general desperation of the situation. For some reason well never know, Packer and Bell had a falling out. Packer emerged victorious and Bell became a perfect scapegoat for all the other deaths.

Many of the 219 permanent residents of Lake City hope !he dig will raise the towns profile as a vacation spot.

At the General Store, proprietor Jack Eisele is selling buttons that read: Alferd Packer Ate Here-Lake City, Co.

T-shirts for sale in several shops proclaim, Have a Friend for Dinner, and Alferd Packer, Serving His Fellow Man.

The menu at Murphys Restaurant includes Packers Platter, for those with a man-eating appetite.

A theater group from Western State College in Gunnison on Monday will open a three-week nightly dramatization of Packers trial in the Lake City Courthouse, where the original trial took place.

parents spoke mostly about how they still grieve over the loss of their daughter.

Mrs. Kopechne did say she was pleased the foreman in the grand jury investigation of her daughters death had recently renewed his assertion that officials tried to cover up information to protect Kennedy.

She had little to say about Kennedy, but in another interview with a magazine she and her husband had

said.

He said his daughter did not die in vain because it kept Kennedy from becoming president.

Kopechne and his wife, Gwen, said they had had two brief meetings with the senator since the accident.

Those were really ridiculous meetings, Mrs. Kopechne said. Nobody told me anything, and I didnt even know what to ask. I want him to tell me what happened. Cant he relieve us of this?

not, though, the accident is fixed in their psyche. A headline that appeared in the Vineyard Gazette referred to the debate over tearing down the Kennedy Bridge.

Just up the block from the Colonial Inn is the Shiretown Inn, the hotel where Kennedy stayed on his visit two decades ago. Kennedy had walked through the hotels lobby the morning of the accident and stood on a balcony talking about yachts with other vacationers before he filed an accident report with the Edgartown police.

The new owners of the Shiretown have taken down a sign that hung behind the front desk telling people not to bother asking about Chappaquiddick, or what room Kennedy was staying in. But they still shun inquiries.

We have no comment, said a hotel worker who wouldnt give her name. People dont ask about it. Its not a big thing anymore. We werent even around then.

Kennedy, who has over the years expressed sadness about the accident, responded with a prepared statement when asked about the incident recently.

I took full responsibility for the tragedy at the time, and I still do, Kennedy said. There was a full and complete investigation by authorities, and there have been extensive additional investigations by the press. I have expressed my remorse and responsibility to my own family, to the Kopechne family, and to the people of Massachusetts, and I express those sentiments again.

I have told everything I know about the accident. I only wish that it were in my power to do something more to ease the continuing pain that I feel and that Mr. and Mrs. Kopechne feel for Mary Jos loss.

Mexico Eyes Cuts In Debt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY Mexico badly ne^ the help President Bush is offering to reduce payments on its foreip debt, but even with substantial relief, coaxing the country out of seven years of stagnation may be a slow process.

Mexican as well as foreign investors are waiting for the starting flag that the solution to the debt negotiations will give, said President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who met with Bush last week.

Attention was focused last week on talks between Mexico and creditor banks as world leaders gathered in Paris for an economic summit. Bush wanted an agreement as a' sho^iece for its strategy to reduce the Third Worlds $1.3 trillion debt.

The lengthy negotiations apparently snagged, and Bush tried to give them a boost by offering Mexico a teinporary loan of $1 billion to $2 billion. The offer appeared to be aimed at showing banks and other creditor nations the United States would put its moneygwhere its mouth is.

For Mexico, an agreement would mean both money and a psychological boost, two elements needed to reignite growth. Mexico owes $107.4 billion and maintains that its economy is hobbled because it must spend $16 billion every year to pay the interest and principal.

Mining Strike Emerges As Fight To Gain Control Of The Industry

By Bryan Brumley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW Local Communist Party officials and mine executives have joined strikes in the Kuzbass coal region of western Siberia to protest centralized control over the industry, Soviet newspapers reported Saturday.

Officials from the Mining Ministry and regional party committees appealed to miners in at least nine cities to return to work, according to dispatches from Kuzbass, one of the countrys most important coal-producing regions.

Newspapers described a chaotic situation in Kuzbass, which is about 2,560 miles east of Moscow.

The situation has emerged as a battle by miners and mine execu

tives to wrest control from the Moscow-based ministry, the newspaper Sovietskaya Rossia said. The miners want authority to set production levels and improve working conditions and such amenities as housing, schools and food, it said.

Strike committees have formed in the mines, Sovietskaya Rossia reported. Most of the people in authority have joined them. That includes many communists, trade union representatives, and party secretaries;

Tens of thousands of miners met Saturday night with Mining Minister Mikhail I. Shchadov on the central square of Prokopevsk, about 1,600 miles east of Moscow, according to Tass and a local mine official.

The minister is promising help, said Yevgeny G. Koslov, an assis-_tant mine surveyor in Prokopevsk.

Executive Enters Plea

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES - A New York executive accused of pumping money into the campaign of a former governor of Guam in exchange for a political favor pleaded guilty Friday to three counts of mail fraud.

Arthur Abba Goldberg entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Jesse Curtis, said Guams U.S. Attorney. Bill OConnor. In exchange for his guilty plea, 46 counts alleging bnbery, conspiracy, wire and mail fraud, and violation of interstate racketeering statutes were dismissed.

"In dismissing the counts, the Guam issues were dissolved, OConnor said. Other issues are on the table if another jurisdiction sees fit to follow through.

Twelve of the counts were related directly to Guam, a U.S. territory since August, 1950, said OConnor. The balance of the counts related to fraud involving use of the Commercial Bank of Americas in transactions that did not involve Guam, OConnor said.

Although Goldberg, executive vice president of the New York bond underwriting firm of Matthews & Wright, only pleaded to three of the dozen counts, OConnor was satisfied with the outcome.

Mr. Goldbergs plea gave the same latitude of sentencing than if he went to trial, OConnor said. We, of course, will recommend jail time and a heavy fine.

Goldberg faces a possible 15 years imprisonment, a $750,000 fine and restitution payments, OConnor said in a telephone interview from his Santa Ana office. Sentencing was scheduled in Curtis court Sept. 11.

One of Goldbergs attorneys,. Howard L. Weitzman, said he had no immediate comment. A receptionist who answered a call made after business hours to another defense attorney, Bruce Hochman, said Hochman had gone for the day.

The three mail fraud counts concerned $57,500 bilked from the Guam Program Development Fund and a letter assuring fund authorities that transactions were above board, while fraud was taking place.

They are having a dialogue.

The Communist Party newspaper Socialisticheskaya Industria said two mining executives who joined the strikes were Mikhail I. Naidov, head of a group of mines in the town of Prokopevsk, and I.A. Khamin, director of the Baidayevsky Mine in an unidentified town.

Independence is just not possible, Naidov said, because Moscow-based ministries make up to 90 percent of economic decisions affecting local enterprises and governments.

They say, You just mine the coal, and we will guarantee the rest, Socialisticheskaya Industria quoted Naidov as saying.

But people do not have what they were guaranteed. People have nothing worthwhile, no housing, no food, no leisure facilities, said Naidov.

This is intolerable. It is not the mine but the individual who should be the master. The essence of the protest is this: we want to work more effectively, he was quoted as saying.

Strikes have been spreading throughout Kuzbass, despite settlements reported with miners in two cities, Osiniki and Mezhdurechensk, where the strikes began Monday.

Authorities had reported an end to the strike Thursday, but miners then expanded their demands from eco-

Death Tied To Uprising

By Sergei Shargorodsky

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM - Masked Palestinians on Saturday reportedly killed an Arab suspected of collaborating with Israeli authorities, and police concluded that the slaying of an elderly Israeli mau was tied to the uprising.

The army imposed curfews on the Nur-Shams refugee camp near the West Bank town of Nablus and on several refugee camps and villages in the Gaza Strip.

Nine Palestinians were reported wounded in scattered clashes with Israeli soldiers in the occupied lands. In Jerusalem, four Ara()s were injured in Israeli stone-throwing attacks, the national news agency Itim said.

In West Bank town of Qalqilya, masked Palestinians broke into the house of Mohammed Yusef Abu Khader, 60, accused him of collaborating with Israeli officials and' fatally stabbed him, Arab journalists and Israel radio said.

The death brought to 564 the number of Palestinians killed in the 19-month uprising against Israeli rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Most victims died in army gunfire, but more than 70 have been killed by Palestinians who accused them of being collaborators.

Police said that two 16-year-old Palestinians confessed to murdering Zalman Yosef Schlein, 64, in the southern Israeli town of Gan Yavne on Friday.

Israel radio said one of the teenagers stabbed the elderly Jewish man while the other hit him on the head with an iron bar.

Initial reports had said Schlein was slain in a dispute over money.

But Uzi Sandouri, spokesman for the southern police district, said the murder was a premeditated nationalist killing. Sandouri told The Associated Press the two suspects, whose names were not released, were members of an underground group in Gaza Citys Shajaiya quarter.

nomic issues, such as food, housing and health care, to broader demands for political change.

On Saturday, thousands of miners and their families held protest rallies in towns throughout the region, newspapers report^.

The crisis was the worst in Prokopevsk, where production was virtually halted, Socialisticheskaya Industria reported.

Events in the Kuzbass have taken a sharp turn, the newspaper said. Although miners returned to work in Mezhdurechensk, in other mining towns in the the situation has sharply intensified.

Published reports said miners were striking in nine cities, including Prokopevsk, Novokuznetsk, Kisilevsk, Lenin-Kuznets, and Kemerevo. It was not clear where the other strikes were going on.

None of the reports estimated the number of strikers.

An administrator at one of the mines in Mezhdurechensk said all the miners there had returned to work, but he refused to estimate the number of mines or miners involved regionwide.

We never had strikes like this before. Never, said the administrator, who spoke in a telephone interview from Moscow and refused to give his name.

Sri Lanka Shooting Leaves Four Dead

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI, India - A soldier in Sri Lanka mistook Indian peacekeeping troops for rebels and opened fire, sparking a gunbattle that killed two Sri Lankan soldiers and two Indian soldiers, an Indian ;overnment spokesman said Satur-

The clash Friday was the first of its kind since Indian troops were sent to Sri Lanka nearly two years ago to quell the civil war, but the spokesman called the gunbattle an accident and said both countries considered the matter closed.

The Sri Lankan soldier fired on an Indian patrol of about 20 soldiers passing a remote jungle camp at 3 a.m. Friday, setting off a brief firefight, said the spokesman, who commented on condition of anonymity.

The shooting occurred near Akbopana, about 130 miles northeast of Colombo, the Sri Lankan capital.

Relations between the two governments have grown increasingly prickly in recent weeks since Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe

Premadasa demanded that India withdraw its peacekeeping force by July 29.

the exchange of fire between the two sides lasted for a short while. It was stopped when the mistake was realized, the government spokesman said.

It was decided to treat the matter as closed and not to publicize it, he added.

Premadasas government has enforced censorship in Sri Lanka since July 6.

Two Indian soldiers were killed and five were wounded. On the Sri Lankan side, two reportedly were killed and a few wounded. the Indian government spokesman said.

Another source, speaking on condition he was not identified further, said two Sri Lankans were confirmed dead.

Sri Lankan Tamil guerrillas, who have attacked both Sri Lankan and Indian soldiers, sometimes wear military-style uniforms and have been known to travel in stolen military vehicles.

The Indian spokesman said the . Indian soldiers were on foot.

OpsnrO^aytosfc. WhiksrdHows-ad R AM-RRM.. Sun. 1 PM.-9m

NAIROBI, Kenya - The capital of Somalia was reported calm Saturday, one day after state radio said 10 people were killed and 32 injured when security forces opened fire on locals who attacked them with stones, knives and sticks.

The clash broke out Friday near a mt^ue in a neighborhood of western Mwadishu, according to Somali state radio.

T^e casualties included troublemakers and members of the security forces, according to a state radio broadcast monitored in Nairobi, Somalias western neighbor.

A resident contacted by telephone Friday said it appeared troops had opened fire as Moslem worshipers left their place of prayer. Islam is the state religion in the impoverished East African nation of about 9 million.

The resident, who spoke on condition he not be identified further, said gunfire erupted around midday in the capital on the shores of the Indian Ocean and continued sporadically through the afternoon.

Residents contacted by telex from Nairobi said life in Mogadishu appeared to have returned to normal today and that a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew imposed Friday was lifted.

A statement by the Somali Interior Ministry, broadcast over state radio late Friday, said a group of troublemakers hiding behind the banner of religion caused the disturbances.
