"I hope we're not undereslimating the issues involved here." . However Rep. Vernon Sykes, D-Akron, said the state should make certain 'the $61 million is being spent wisely before committing any more money to the program. He' said managers have been given great leeway in determining how lo fix any problems. "I am expressing concern about the . broad range of discretion the administration ltas," Sykes said. . Petro also shared the results of a survey of local governments and school districts that he conducted in the las! three weeks. The survey found that 28 percent of schools and local governments had not appointed a "Y2K" manager. Thai number is down from the .47 percent that had nol appoinled a manager in a survey taken in IToaa'V'S November. The survey also found that: - Sixteen percent of schools and 9 percenl of cities did not have senior managers monitoring progress toward compliance, compared with 45 percent and 66 percent, respectively, in the November survey. - Thirty-five percent of those who responded to the survey had developed contingency plans should problems occur and only 14 percent of ihose had tested those plans. .

Last week, Clinion told an audience of college students that he'd save Social Security and Medicare for them, but to do so he'd have to reform the progr:arns instead of just pour ·money into them. Almost certainly, saving the two programs for Generation X will also involve some tax increases and bene· fits cuts, which Clinton could afford to recommend as a politician who has no more elections to face. And, to establish a real legacy, he should start some serious thinking about the enormous problem of financing long-term care for the aged, whose nun;ing home expenses may equal Social Security costs by 2030. Republicans, backed by the General Accqunting Office, claim Clinton's plan won't even extend Social Securi· ty's solvency because he's "double · counting" surpluses already derived from Social Security taxes. And some Republicans wonder whether Ointon is really interested in saving Social Security and Medicare at all · except as 2000 cantpa1ign' issues for the Democratic Party. The body language from the White House, though, is that he actually would like to cui a Social Security deal with medicine rather than managed care.

We hope that when opponents and proponents talk, the debate is. a respectful one befitting the subject, something that cannot always be sa1d when opponents and proponents of abortiqn or euthanasia meet. · We have supported capital punishment.

All the economic experts agree that the low interest rates are the greatest of all contributors to the current boom, but do remember that the debt accrued by consumers in this country is extreme, and the savings are at a minimum. That bodes for big trouble in the very near future and, again, that's the experts' opinion. Well, now there's talk of Hillary wanting to be a senator from New York. The misery be multiplied!

Now, someone else ":ill gel the chance . . . As the quirky Rodman took part irj his first practice with the Los fl(ngeles Lakers on Wednesday, exec· uiives Jerry West and Mitch fl;upchak were announcing the firing of Harris· following three road losses in as many day s. . . ; :West said one of two assistantsK!un Rambis or Larry Drew - will succeed Harris for at least the rest of tije season. ·• " This is an organizational change; this is just not one person "(anting to make a change," West said.

West said longtime assistant Bill Benka will handle the head coaching dutie s tonight against the winless Los Angeles Clippers in Anaheim before a decision is made on Drew or Rambis, both former Lakers players.

Rodman , a member of champi· onship teat:ns with the Bulls the last three years a~d the NBA's leading rebounder the past seven seasons, said he expects to play his first game for the Lakers on Friday night at the Forum. " It 's very unfair to Del Han·is," Rodman said of the firing . "He was in a no-win situation, unless the team won and got to the (NBA) Finals. This business is ruthless and it will lear your heart out There is no security at all." Said Harris: " You don 't realize what Dennis Rodman is going 10 bring io this ~<:am . He's going to rebound; he 's going to set picks; he 's going to pass the ball and get on those who don ' t. I was all armed and ready to go, I can tell 'fOU that." West said he had not spoken .to former Bulls coach Phil Jackson or anyone else about the coaching job because things happened so quickly, but fell confident Rambis or Drew "will be the person that will be able to get us to where we wanllo gel." "It's always difficult to talk abo.ut hypotheticals, but if that siiuation is presented, I know that Phil would look at that carefully," Jackson's agent, Todd Musburger, said when asked if hi s client might be interest· ed.

" That's what makes this so hornble. That's what makes me literally weep and my wife has to comfort me.

It makes no difference that Mullenfx says he never had any intention to se ll drugs: hts addiction was so voraciOus that he often consumed an ounce of manJuana a week. Nor does it matter that Canada, after investigating his background thoroughly over two years, wiped his crimmal record clean· hiS foretgn pardon is not recognized 111 the United Stales. ' Resi dence requirements were' tightened tn 1952 and Mullenix's father could not transfer Citizenship. So far, it seems the best Mullenix can hope for is a job-related nonimmi grant visa, or be satisfied with retum mg penodtcally on vacatiOn. In his federal lawsuit, he is tryJng to amend the "nonapphcability" section to exempt chtldren of a U.S. citIZen "prov1ded they have been rehabilitated for not less than 10 years." . An equally onerous alternative is to seek relief from the Immigration and Clatms subcommittee in Washmglon, but that approach was knocked down in 1997. Subcommittee chairman Lamar Smith, R· Texas, advised former New York Rep. Bill Paxon that just three pri vate bills related to simple possession of marijuana had been enact· ed si nce 1981. Under a 1996 act, Congress made tt much more difficult for people with a criminal background to obtam per· manent residency, the precursor to citi zenship. "It's become a law of zero tole rance, one stnke and yo u're out, no compassion, no waivers, no second chances," said Jeanne Butterfield, executive director of the American Immtgratton Lawyers Assoctation. Advocacy groups anticipate a buildup of pressure that wtll prompt Co~gress· "to take a second look at 'these onerous laws," she predicted. "The consequences of thi~ law IS that U.S. families are being split apart in ways that most members of Congress certamly never intended," echoed Carol Wolchok, director of the American Bar Association's Center for lmmtgratwri Law and Representation. With great trepidation, Mullenix is pn:parmg to approach Paxon's successor, Rep. Tom Reynolds, but fears nothing will be done \Jecause he's neither "nch nor politically connect- ed nor famous." Born with spina btlida, Mullenix walks with a limp and expects his shnveled left leg will someday need to be ampu1ated. His disability accounted only m part for a traumatic childhood. He was often beaten by his father " he's repented of all that now " and by age 15 had dropped out of school and was abusing· drugs and liquor. Hts convictton 111 1981 " happened when I was still a baby, matunty-wtse," he said, adding that while he regards manJuana as " illegal and bad ' it's not, lrke murder or kidnapping." Mull eni x finally lost his factory job and hiS fnends and was living on welfare at a rundown, motel when he hit bottom at age 22. Booking tnto a ' rehabilitation center turned his life around: he soon enlisted in college to become an ordained minister. One of his biggest successes Has been counseling prison inmates on how to step away from drugs. By JOHN NOLAN Associated press Writer OXFORD, Ohio- Whoever put up raCISt flt ers last fall in Miami University's center for black culture no doubt wanted to start somethtng. What they started was a lingering, agonwng mystery that may be settled wtth a JUry trial. , The two young men accused in the case are black former students who helped lead protests after the October di scovery of the flters.

"I could not even begtn to guess as to a motive," he said. "This is a question I've been asking myself. "That's assuming that the ailegations are true.

I1 The local group displayed some of the creative and unique luminaries that Joan Wolfe, manager of the Pomeroy Office of Peoples Bank, has done for the past two years in conjunctiOn with the walk. Joan decorates each luminary to depict something about a person 's life or occupation so they are indtvtdualized creations for the local walk which bastcally salutes cancer survivors and those who unfortunately, didn ' t beat the disease. Maxine who is heading the local relay this summer comments that Metgs County is fortunate it having some,one like Joan to share her artistic abilities. You can reserve a luminary at the Pomeroy Office of Peoples Bank in honor of a loved one who has survtved cancer or in memory of someone who died as a result of the disease. A donation of $5 per luminary wtll be accepted. This year 's relay for life in Meigs County will be held at the Rock Springs Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, June 18 and 19. Local plans are being made to make the relay the most successful yet. Jennifer Hamon of the district office of the American Cancer Society is expected to be on hand for one of those planning sessions being held today at the Meigs Branch of the University of Rio Grande in Middleport.

Pol ice kept thousands of curiosity seekers away from the sj,te of Wednesday's crash in a cabbagelfreld · : near the small town of Rui 'an, on the outskirtS ofWenzhou city, 250 miles south.of Shanghai in coastal Zhejiang prOvin ce. AvtattOn officials said they still do not know . what caused the crash, which gouged a hole more than 200 feet long by 100 feet wide . The China Southwest Atrline~ plane, carryi ng 50 passengers and II crew members, was 12 miles from Wenzhou when it crashed. Heat from the blast also severely burned three farmers, said an official at We,nzhou 's airport who gave only his surname. Wang . Workers and safety inspectors di spatched to the scene were searching for the plane's flight data recorder, officials said. A ~hopkeeper in Tangtou village, where the crash rattled houses, who gave only his surname Lin , said he saw the jet spewing black smoke and flying erratically before it crashed and exploded. The crash was China's biggest since a China Northwest Airlines flight crashed near the central city of Xi'an in 1994, killing 160 people in the cou ntry 's worst reported air disaster. It involved the same type o[ plane - a Russian-made Tupolev154. China Southwest today ordered that al l its TU -154 flights be canceled, an official at the company's Shanghai office said TU-154s were produced as Soviet equi-valents to the Boeing 727 in the 1960s and 1970s. The.medium- range, three-engine jet has gradually yeen r~placed by more modern, Western-butlt a~rcraft China bought in recent years to 'keep .up with rapid . growth in air travel. China 's Civil Aviation Administration hasn ' t decided whether to ground other TU-154s for checks. The crash shook homes in the vi llage of Tangtou, close to where the plane came down, said villager Zhen Huanl ong . He praised the pilot for missing the village and .putting the plane down in empty lields. "The ground is covered in blood," Zhcn told The Associated Press by telephone. "The house even rattled . It really was very frightening." No foreigner$ were on the flight from the southwest city of Chengdu to Wenzhou, the Xinh~a News Agency reported.

Hopes dim for lo·cating 9 buried in Alps avalanche By ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS Associated Press Writer LANDECK, Austria - Rescuers mounted a last-ditch effort today to find survivors from two killer avalanches that slammed into an Alpine region , but the death toll rose to 29 and hopes dimmed for nine people believed still buried. Dozens of helicopters this morning began ferrying out hundreds of tourists still stranded in' the area around Galtuer in Austria's wes tern Tyrol region, hit by a pair of deadly snowslides the previous two days . Authorities warned the risk of more avalanches was extremely high after about I 1/2 feet of new snow fell in 24 hours.

Among the dead found in Galtuer on Wednesday Were eight Germans, inc!~ding two children, two Danes and six Austrians from the touri st resort. Still reeling from Tuesday's pow erful avalanche, the area was hit by a second 'deadly wall of snow on Wednesday that rolled into the hamlet of\,/alzur, 7 miles to the northeast, flattening 11 houses. Two mo'fil. bodies were retrieved from the mass of snow this morning ·in Valzur, where two other~ · were found dead the previous day. A man and child were pulled from the snow Wednesday, shaken but alive. Austrian army rescue flights resumed today after being halted by fresh snow and darkness late Wednesday, reinforced by helicopters from the German army and from U.S. army bases in Germany. Authorities called it the biggest airlift ever in Austria. As many as I 0 U.S. Black hawk helicopters shuttled survivors out to Landeck; landing in a swirl of snow on a blocked-off autobahn outside (he town . A string of buses waited to take the surVivors into tow n. Rescuers and doctors grudgingly conceded that chances to dig out more survivors were slim. Roads mto the mountainous area remained blocked, but maintenance crews hoped to ·c!ear them by Friday. Video footage from Ga ltuer showed scores ol rescuers usin g long metal probes and dogs trained to loca te people buried under masses of snow. Automobiles were crushed by big walls of snow or hurled like toy cars by the force of Tuesday 's avalanche. The top lloor or one house was missIng, as if sliced off by a giant razor blade. Austrian army offi cers coordinating the rescue efforts told Austrian television they hoped today to lly out up to 700 tourists still stranded in Galtuer. About I ,000 people, many of them Germans and other fore ign tou ri sts, were evacuated Wednesday. TI1e Galtuer avalanche is the worst to hit Central Europe this winter, as the region endures its heaviest snowfall in 50 years . More than 70 people across Europe have died in avalanc hes thts year. . It is 'the worst in Austria since 1954, when 56 people were killed in a si ngle avalanche in Blons , a town in neighboring Vorarlberg prov ince. A high avalanche risk also persisted in neighboring Switzerland , where the country 's main north-south road through the Gotthard tunnel has been closed for the last week. · Ja_pan remains reluctant to ~o'!'p~x_ w1th request to track wat cr1m1nals By YURI KAGEYAMA Associated Press Writer TOKYO - Hakudo Nagatomi is a Japanese war criminal.

By AUCE ANN LOVE Alaoclated Preaa Writer WASHINGTON (AP)- How to make prescription drug coverage more accessible to elderly and disabled Americans is among the dilemmas that could delay recommendations from a Medicare advisory commission to Congress and President Clinton. · "There is still a lot of work for us to complete in a very short period of time," said Sen. John Breaux, 0-La., who co-.chairs the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. · . Breaux said he is consid.ering delaying the commis~ion's March 1 deadli'ne by as much as a month. . The panel is close to agreeing to a plan - championed by Breaux - that . would begin to shift Medicare away from paying individual medical bills, by instead helping the elderly and disabled buy health insurance. But the 17-member commission is still one or two votes short of the 11 it needs to approve the proposal. Several Democrats on the panel who could cast deciding ballots say they are holding out, in' part, for provisions recommending that Medicare help all l)eneficiaries pay for prescription drugs. Clinton, in his State of the Union speech last month, said he wants to add ~rug benefits to Medicare, which doesn't now cover prescriptions. Republi cans also favor the idea, but GOP commission members say the cash· ~trapped program can't afford it for everyone. . At a commission meeting Wednesday, Breaux proposed a compromise: Medicare would pay for new drug coverage for beneficiaries with incomes up to 135 percent of the poverty level- about $11,000 a year for an indi· vidual. Also, the private supplemental insurance policies, known WI Medigap, that many senior citizens buy .would be required to P.rovide improved drug coverage. But some Democrats were critical. " I don 't think what's in the chairman's outline is an adequate drug benefit," said Stuart Altman, a health policy professor at Brandeis University in .Massachusetts who Clinton appointed to the commission. Many Democrats on the panel - made up of former government offi· dais, private experts and members of Congress - also have complained that Breaux's .overall plan · isn't detailed enough to demonstrate it would assure adequate health care at reasonable prices. · "I am genuinely frightened on behalf of folks that I represent," said Sen. John D. Rockefeller, D-W.Va. · Without change, Medicare i$ expected to run short of money in abou't a decade - just as the nation's huge baby-boom generation begins to retire. Clinton has suggested devoting 15 percent of the federal budget surpluses expected in coming years to Medicare. But House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-111., declined this week to endors'e that. · . Commissiqp members are divided,' largely along partisan lines, over whether to r~ommend more cash for Medicare in addition to cost-saving · measures.~ . Under th plan the commission is focus.ing on, sometimes called "premium support,' a retiree could choose from a menu of health-insurance policies and rec ive a Medicare subsidy to help cover the enrollment fee or premium. That's similar to the health benefits many companies and the federal government offer to workers. ton planned to focus 'more heavily on his wish to devote another 15 percent to Medicare and on the need for Medicare refonn. Ointon also was expected to address the need for overhauling Medicare to extend the lifetime of the program to 2020. Without significant changes, the system will go bankrupt in about a decade. Later in the day, Ointon planned to visit with the Arizona Diamondbacks at their spring training camp before flying to San Francisco, where he was tQ be guest of honor at a fund-raising dinner for House and Senate Democrats. The Majority 2iXXl dinner at the Fairmont Hotel was the first of nine such events the Democrntic committees planned to hold this year in an effort to raise $9 million toward next year's congressional campaigns.

Kerry to skip 200_0 presidential race By GLEN JOHNSON · Aaaoclated Preas Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - After months of consideration, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts has decided to skip the 2000 presidential race, The Associated Press has learned. Kerry, who was to formally announce intentions at a news con· ference this afternoon in Boston, told his colleagues of his decision in an early-morning round of phone . calls, according to a source. close to the senator who spoke on the condi· tion of anonymity.. The three-term senator had strongly considered challenging Vice President AI Gore, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomina· lion, hoping to push for better early childhood education and·health care programs. At the same time, he complained about the burden of organizing and raising more·than $20 million, espedally since the campaign period has already been shortened by President Ointon's impeachment trial. · Gore's only announced competi· tor to date is former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey, but Kerry's decision is expected to prompt renewed consideration of the race by others, including Jesse Jackson. "Other than Jesse Jackson, who could play a spoiler role and be an ~ncomfortable opponent for AI Gore, I think we have the field.

An inflation meru~ured tied to the GOP, the big selloff with stronger demand pushing the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond down ·to S.S8 implicit price deflator, rose just I percent lru~t percent, compared to 5.65 percent the day before. year, 'the slowest pace since a 0.9 percent rise in 'For all of 1998, the economy grew 3.9 per· 1949. This GOP inflation index rose just 1.9 per· cent in both 1997 and 1996. AU forecW~Iers are predicting economic growth will slow significantly in 1999 although so far there are. no signs of that occur· ring. Most analysts believe GOP growth this year will be between 2.5 percent and 3 percent as the red-hot consumer sector slows a bit and a rising trade deficit takes more of a bite out of the manufacturing sector. Consumer spending rose 4.8 percent in 1998, the fastest increase in 14 years. Strong growth in domestic demand offset the one dark spot for the economy at present, a record trade deficit as American farmers and manufacturers face dwindling export . markets overseas while imports made cheaper by foreign currency devaluations flood into the United ' • States. For 1998, the trade deficit lowered GOP by 1.1 percentage points, meaning. the 3.9 percent growth rate would have been 5 percent without the drag coming from trade. However, economists said the Fed would have never allowed the economy to grow at that fast ·a pace and would have stepped in to slow growth by raising interest rates. The quarterly pattern of growth last year showed a 5.5 percent GOP rate in the first quar· ter followed by a big drop to 1.8 percent in the second quarter, then 3.7 percent in the third quarter and the 6.1 percent in the fourth quarter. The 6. I percent advance was the largest quarterly GOP increase since 6.4 percent growth rate in the second quarter of 1984. a By ROBERT I:SUI1N:t> AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP)r The Pentagon will let Russian officials monitor U.S. missile launch warning data fron ' mid-December to mid-January to bolster their confidence that America is not attacking, even if the Year 2000 computer bug creates glitches or gaps that prompt their own radars to indicate otherwise. Information that would be rnade available to the Russians would be based on both satellite and landbW~ed sensors but would not divulge secrets about American ballistic missile systems, said Edward Warner, assistant secretary of defense for strategy. "The single thing it will show is whether we launch or not," he said Thursday. Warner made the proposal to Russian defense officials last week. He said they did not accept but agreed to come to the United States next month to discuss it in ·more detail, including whether the arrangement would be reciprocated to give U.S. officials daia from Russia's early warning radars. Last September, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and !:'resident Clinton agreed to pursue lhe development of a joint early warning center in Russia to enable both nations to continuously s.hare data on ballis- tic missile launches. That is not likely to come to fruition before year's end, Warner said, and 1herefore it was decided to invite Russian early-warning specialists to Colorado Springs, Colo., for the Year 2000 transition. "Our proposal would give them extensive coverage, including coverage of potential U.S. launches," Warner said. H We have no intention to make any launches, but it' would give them coverage of those area<~." The idea is to boost Russia's con· fidence that. it will have adequate. early warning of petential longrange missile launches from the United States at the start of the New Year, when some fear the "millenni· urn bug" \viii strike and disrupt ~ computer systems that have not been altered to compensate .for possible Y2K problems. Warner said the Russians were in~ited to a "specially setup facili-. ty" in Colorado Springs, but hew~ not. more specific. Aides later said they did not know exactly where the facility would be established. Col' orado Springs is home to the North American Aerospa~e Defense Com· mand and U.S. Spa~e Command. The Pentagon hu said it is certain its early warning system will noi be gisrupted by the Year 2000 "bug." Some U.S. officials hav( expressed concern that the Russians are late in working out Y2K bugs.
