"For pure railroad shippers served by just one railroad, we are left at the mercy of the rai lroad or of the (reg· ulatory) agency," said Ed Emmell, president of the shippers group National Industrial Transportation league. "Getting relief could take years or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees." Remedies sought before Congress include requiring the Surface Trans· portation Board to give greater weight to increasing competi.tion in approving mergers or settling price disputes, two of the few areas that remain under the government's jurisdiction since a 1980 law lifted most oversight. ' Shippers say they are trying to foster more 1competition among rail· roads, whtle the rail companies fear the move would undo many of the ·gains that came with deregulation. " What they want is the rates to come down , ·and when rates come down, we have less money to put into the system," said Mark G. Aron, executive 'ice president of CSX Corp., which will take over about half of Conrail's routes. He said regulators would wind up meddling again with basic rail operations in deciding such questions as who would get priority if railroads are forced to share tracks, a common method now used to ensure competitior\ in some areas. The chairman of the House Trans· portation Committee, Rep. Bud Shuster, R-Pa., is vehemently opposed to any increased reg ulation, making the bid a difficult one for shippers. • . Tuesday : ' .

He claime\1 : "The first day a mim is a guest, lhe second a burden, the third a pest." • There is a lhird defensive aid, !he suit-preference si~nal. It is exhibited m this deal. North and South wahz into four spades. (Yes, Easl would like to bid, but he has no converuent way into the auction.) First, we have West's open· ing-lead problem. I dishke attacking a suit btd by an opponent. Yet here, if West starts wtth any card 'other than hts singlelon club, the contract makes easily. Therefore, let's have West open with the club two. East knows this has to be a sin· gleton; otherwise, West would have led a different suit. So, after wmnmg wrlh the ace, East will grve hrs part· ncr a club ruff. Yet whtch club should Easl lead at trick two? East makes a sutt-preference signal to tell West where his re-entry lies . We ignore the trump suit and the suit tn which the ruff is hemg gr ven That leaves two suits •• here, hearts and diamonds. If his entry were in the lower-ranking sutt, East would return his lowest club. But with hrs enlry m lhe higher-rankmg su1t, hearts, East places hrs h1ghest club, the I 0, onto lhe table . (Don ' t go m fo[ half-measures; be as cltiar as possible.) West ruffs and switches· to a hean. East wms with the ace, and a second club ruff scuttles lhe' contract. That looks strrughtforward, but the sutt·preference srgnal ts the leasl understood and most mrsused of all the stgnals. Tune m tomorrow for more.

' · · Hill is expected to return to Kosovo today from neighboring Macedonia, where he is the U.S. ambassador, for more talks. In Washington, State Department spokesman James P. Rubin said key rebel leaders gave their blessing to the plan. But he stopped sh~rt of declarina It a breakthrough, mindful that'a promise to sign Sunday never materialized. EaiUer Monday, a Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymi· ty, said the rebels objected to several details of the agreement, including Russian participation in a NATO-led peacekeeping .force and the requirement that the guerrillas surrender weapons. The KLA has also been pressing for guarantees of a referendum on iridependence aft<t ihree years - a condition rejected by Yugoslavia as· well as the Untted States and maJ Or European powers. · The Serbs have-long refused to accept the deal because it calls for 28,000 NATO peacekeeping troops in Kosovo, a southern province of Yugoslavia's · dominant republic, Serbia. ' . ' In Belgrade, Yugoshiv President Slohodan Milosevic shrugged <1ff.the . threat of NATO airs trikes and stood firm Monday in his opposition to any foreign troops to police the proposed settlement. During a first round of peace talks last month in Rambouillet, France, ethnic Albanian negotiators said they needed time to sell the plan to the rebel rank-and-file.

Sunny High: 40a; Low:20a Meigs County's By JOHN McCARTHY Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)- Gov. Bob Taft invited lawmakers to support his pian to take all the money that . would wind up in a fund created for income tax reli~f and spend it on schools instead. Supporting the idea, however, was the last thing on some lawmakers' minds. Taft on Tuesday used his first State of the State speech to propose moving the money - at least $400 million - and using it for school construction and tech· · nology. The fund is whatever surplus is left over after 5 per· cent of state revenue is put in a " rainy day" fund the stale keeps for emergencies; such as an unforeseen economic downturn. Although it's earmarked for t!IX reduction, there is nothing to keep the state from spending money in the fund for other purposes before June 30, the end of the budget year. The rainy day fund is at about SI billion and Taft budget officials estimate the tax reduction .fund currently has about $400 million. Opposition surfaced as soon as the speech ended. House conservatives who created the fund defended it. ' . "The principle of the income tax reduction fund is that we don't write blank checks to government," said Rep. Jeff Jacobson, R-Vandalia. "I support spending $400 million on school facilities as he proposed, hut the principle should remain that we write a specific dollar figure and whatever's left still goes back to taxpayers."

House Republicans would shift surplus welfare money to schools By ALAN FRAM . A. .ootllted PrMa Writer WASJJINGTON (AP) - House Republi· cans say they would let states shift unspent weifare funds to education as the party hunts for ways to boost priority programs while honoring two-year-old spending limitations. House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich, R-Ohio, said Tuesday that diverting surplus welfare money to schools was justified because of falling welf~ ._..toads, a phenom· enon caused by the robust economy. · "Many of these states have had a windfall," Kasich told reporters.
