Ohio Valley Publlhlng Compa~ny enttne Legislature acts ' swiftly ~~" property tax relief Finan admitted that pushing the measure through in a few hours Wednesday was a maneuver aimed at boosting support for the ballot issue. "The reason we are moving so rapidly ... is that frankly this is a vel}' short campaign and losing another week did not seem to be in the best interest if we were then going to be using this as part of our campaign strategy," he said. The sales tax hike is on the May ballot to partially pay for a new school funding system devised by lawmakers in response to a Marth 1997 Supreme Court decision tossing out !he state's system of funding education. By capping the 15 percent property lax credit at $275, homeowners whoSe total propelty lax bill is less than $1,833 would get 15 percent property tax relief, while those above that amount would fall under the cap, according to a memo from the Legislative Budget Office. "Roughly 75 percent of taxpayers wouldn't be subject to the cap," said Sen. Roy Ray, R-Akron. "This is a good way to go, it'll help us with selling the (ballot) issue." The property tax relief would probably come in the fonn of a credit against the state income lax a homeowner pays, according to Fin.an.

But school offteials say they're doing what they can to stop the psy-. chological bumps and bruises of youth from turning into bloodshed. "We take eve!}' threat that we re.ceive as something thai we need to substantiate and we lake it seriously." said John Rynn, guidance counselor at Eastern Middle School in Silver Spring; Md. Although he had only media reports to rely on, he said it ''sounds vel}' unusual" that the types of threats that preceded Tuesday's shooting rampage in Jonesboro, Ark., went unreported. · · Four students and a teacher were killed. An If-year-old boy said to be proficient with guns and a 13-year- old boy angl'}' Ill an ex-girlfriend were · in custody. Still, something apparently known to cl~ssm.tes went right past the grownups. " It's the adults who hadn't a clue," said John Devint; a Ne\V York University professor of education who has written on school-related violence. Devine believes adults have become estranged from the world of their children as the much-touted generation gap of the 1960s wide11s. That has been aided by violence on TV, in video games. music videos and the Internet "How is it that kids are acting these fantasies out and where do trn:y gel these fantasies from?" he asked. One award-winning video, by the group Pearl Jam; gives a clue. Its central ch~er is an anguished adolescent finding solace in regressing to. an animal state. The video ends with a picture of a classroom of slain pupils a1 their desks. Per Day ~. . . IN MOURNING - Aehley BroaciiWey, 13, an ttifrth,gl'llde atu- 399 S. THIRD ST.

But cntics of the tax relief plan attacked it for having been amended into an unrelated measure, Senate Bill 230. and not undergoing public hearings or debate. . · "We don't know how this is going to work," said Sen. Judy Sheerer, D· Shaker Heights. " ... Why are we now coming up with a system that ar best is from the bottom of our pants?" Still, the property rax relief language easily passed the Ohio Senate 25-5 -with no votes all coming from Democrats. In the Ohio House, which passed rhe propeny tax amendment 64-29. it was mainly GOP conservatives deriding the measure for the way it wa' brought to the floor. "Why should we box ourselves in without discussion?" asked Rep. Jeff Jacobson, R-Oayton. His amendment that would have stripped out the prop· erty tax relief specifics out of the legislation failed 65-29. House Finance Chair Rep. Tom)ohnson, R-New Concord. who voted for the measure, said during a floor speech that this property tax relief plan has been discussed "evel'}'where." Shell plant s~ys no decision made yet on worker layoffs APPLE GROVE, W.Va. - Rumors of an employee layoff at the Shell Chemical Co. Point Plea.'klnl Polyester Plant in Apple Grove were clarified . today by David Worley, human resources representative at the plant Worley said the PET Polye~ter resin busines~ in which Shell'~ Point Pleasant plant competes continues to exPerience vel}' advefliC business conditions. · This is due to lower price for the product, due 10 a global oversupply and . costs of producing the product. It does not appear there will be improvement in the price situation for the forseeabl~ future, he added. . ' · Shell's competitors in the business have taken or are taking "ogressive" steps to remain viable during this extended downturn in the PET polye~te( resin business, according to Shell officials. Similarly,' Shell.h!ls iniiiated work to develop a plan on how to fcep the Point Pleasant openltion viable and world-chiss competitive in "this difficult business environment." Worley said one facet of rhe study will be employee layoffs. No de~ision about staff has been made at this time. he added, and won't be until the proposal is made. to the directors in early May. Employees will be notified pri· or to the general public, Worley added. Other study focuses will include evel'}'thing from how to increase the volume of production, to the most effective and efficient means wiJII which to operate the plant. . tance to qualified seniors. According to Oliver. speaking engagements to area organizations and the agency's 25th annivers81'}' celebration on April 2 will be at the heart of the committee's campaign. Like many schools, Marstellar Middle School in Manassas, Va., has tried to get pupils to nip their problems in the bud so they don '!tum violent, says guidance counselor Judith Ladd. Bullying, once a fixture of school life. isn 'tti>lerated. Violence is punished by in-school suspensions or worse. School officials encourage mediation by fellow students or other staff. In that kind of climate, students are more likely to bring problems to somebody's artenlion. Still, in ·adolescence, "Everything is experienced al a crisis level:" Ladd said. A losr romance is more thaq that- it means the loss of social standing. And it's possible the kinds of threats that students said they heard in Jonesboro before the shootings weren't taken seriously, she said. ''The kids don't believe it's really going to happen." she said. "Again, we're dealing )!lith young people who (believe they) are invin· cible. Most things are stated in the extreme. You hear kids sayi ng. ·My parents are going to kill me when I go home with this. ' In some cases that may be realistic, but in the majority of .statements it goes with the exag· geration." But even those exaggerations deserve'to be noticed because of the underlying conflicts. Much of rhe focus on school vio· lence has· been on big-city schQiils, notes Richard Verdugo, coordinator of the safe-schools program ar the National Education Association, the nation's largest teacher union. Many city schools have become near-fortresses that require children to CDrl'}' IDs and pa.1s through metal detectors. · But there are signs of violence and weaponry in rural America, too. •In New Hampshire. students and educators say a state law requiring automatic expulsion for . anyone caught in school with a gun is not enforced. Foster child notification action wins Senate's nod COLUMBUS (AP)- Foster par· ents in Ohio may soon have to be told about any P!ISl legaltroubles involving their new foster .child. By a vote of 30-0, the Senate on Wednesday passed a bill thai would require foster parents to be notified if their foster child had been convicted of any serious crimes, such as murder or rape . The legislation wa.~ written after a Toledo woman wa~ killed by her 15· year-old foster son, Johnnie Jordan. He was convicted of beating Jeanette Johnson. 62, with a hatchet, dousing her with kerosene and selling her on fire in her kitchen in Janu81'}' 1996. Jordan had been living with Mrs. Johnson and her husband for two months. His histOI'}' of violence forced officials to move him into and out of 19 homes and foster operations since age 8. He wa1 about to be moved again, this time to a group· home for teen-age se•ual offenders. "Although Johnnie Jordan had ... a violent histol'}'. this information wa.• never told to Mrs. Johnson," Sllid Sen. James Carnes, R·SI. Clairsville. Her husband, Charles Johnson, said social services officials knew Jordan had a histol'}' of violence but did nor tell the couple about his past. · 'Ionian was tried as ~n adult and convicted of aggravated. murder, aggr~vated arson and aggr.wated rob· bery. He was sentenced to life in prison. The Senate on Wednesday also passed a bill that would expand the offense of aggmvared murder to cov~ killers of police officers and prison guards. The bill would make it ea.~i ~ er to sentence those offenders to the death penalty. Both bills now go 10 the House. The House. meanwhile. passed a bill that would toughen penalties for gang members. It defines a gang member as a person who actively participates in a gang knowing thar rhe gang has taken part in crimes. II defines a gang as a group of three or more people with a common name, identifying signs, symbols or colors. A judge could tack three years in prison ontO a felony conviction if it is found that rhe crime furthered the cause of a gang.

AP selects Garfield Heights' Johnson Ohio's Mr. Basketball By RUSTY MILLER COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) William "Sonny" Johnson may be intimidatmg and aggressive on the floor, but on Sundays he's just another member of the choir at Harvest Time Evangelistic Ministry. Mostly because of his basketball sKills, Johnson is the 1998 Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball. The 6-foot-5 shooting star from Garfield Heights High. who averaged 34 points and 17.6 rebounds per game, is the lith winner of the award. presented annually to the finest player in the state as determined by a media panel. Basketball is a family affair for Johnson. H1s father. also named William. is Garfield Heights' head coach and his brother Julius joins him in the starting lineup. dn Sundays, the elder William Johnson is the pastor at Harvest lime, on 55th and St. Clair in Cleveland, while Sonny plays the drums and sings in the choir with his brother. Asked whether Sonny was better at basketball or singing, his father laughed an? said, "''d have to go God's NET, which provides ministry and activity for local youth, has received a $5,000 grant from the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund of Parkersburg, W.Va.

Light rail system for rapid· transit recommended for Cincinnati area CINCINNATI (AP) - Regional transportation ofticials have recommended building a $1.6 billion light-. rail system along Interstate 71 to reheve increasing traffic congestion. But critics of the proposal adopted Tuesday wondered who would pay for it and whether a less expensive alternative would work better. Light rail cars are powered by electricity from an overhead wire and operate on railroad tracks, usually at street level Other cities are using such systems for public transit. Regional transportation committee officials voted 39-6 to recommend the light-rail system. · Trustees of the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments are to review and possibly decide on the committee ·s decision Thursday. The proposal would then be presented to the public at a hear· ing April 2 at Cincinnati City Hall. James Duane. executive director of the council , said the system could be operating in six years if funding is obtained. The rail system would cover a 33mile Interstate 71 stretch from Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airpon in northern Kentucky to the Kings Island amusement park, 20 m1les northeast of Cmcinnati. Ted Hubbard. chief deputy Hamilton County engineer, urged the committee to consider less expensive options of redesigning 1-71 to add \ Janes. or designating h1gh-occupancy vehicle lanes. Thai would mean set· ting aside an existing Jane of the highway for vehic.Jes with two or more passengers, to encourage car-pooling. "The real quest1on w1ll be how do we fund this. and that is going to be probabl y a I perce nt sales tax increase or a I0-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax increase. Are people going to vote for that?" said John Dow lin, a Hamilton County commissioner. Also Tuesday, a transponation funding bill i"ued by the House Tmnsportation Commtttee in Washington leaves the door open for possible federal funding of the I-71 project. But the legislation makes no dolJar commitment. The bill that emerged from the House Transportation Committee groups Cincinnati with other cities across the nation seekmg funding for mass-transit projects. The bill leaves it to the Transportation Department to decide which should receive funding. said Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. . St LOUI S Chtl·ago Phoe-n1x .

Because the new baseball. field is currently under construction, Eastern will be playing all home games on the road on the opponents' horne field. Garnes designated as Eastern's home games will allow Eastern to get the last at-bat just as if it was a real home game. 'The Young and the Restless' or the the "young and talented" as fifthyear veteran coach Dan Thomas puts it might best describe this year's team. A lot of youth mixed with senior leadership has given this year's squad a unique complexion. but a look that hopes to give Eastern a winning season.

Winebrenner labeled his staff as very reliable, adding that none are overpowering, but should be able to throw strike~. Winebrenner is cautiously optimistic that this year will be a good one. He said. "It will be difficult to replace three all-TVC players. How well we replace them will be the key lo the season. Pitching and defense seem to be solid. Right now the big question marks are hitting and how well Josh Ervin and Adam Cum1ns develop as catchers." Championships are old hat for Winebrenner's Southern teams.

While taking a lovely trip to celebrate a special anniversary, I happened to notice that my husband was writing a letter. I saw the first line. II was a letter to another woman . He quickly tore it up and flushed it' down the toilet. I then asked him if he wanted a divorce. He said no. To my credit, l never mentioned it again . Several years later, after his death, I found a photograph of the woman among his personal effects. Our marriage lasted over 50 years. I want to tell all the women in your reading audience to take your advice and ask themselves that famous Ann Landers question, "Would I be better off with or without him?"

"It got to a point where fashion and drugs were so closely associated that it was a danger for everyone," says Jeff Buchman, chairman of the advertising and marketing departmcnt of Manhattan's Fashion Institute of Technology. ".It went beyond pushing the envelope," complains Town & Country editor-in-chief Pamela Fiori. "It was getting into the area of the truly bizarre." In May, President Clinton delivered his pivotal anti -heroin-chic speech, castigating the fashion industry for glamorizing decadence. Some credit him with resurrecting the smile. Others say its comeback was already in the cards . Polls show this to be the most sustained period of optimism since Ronald Reagan's seco11d term, thanks largely to the economy.

Clinique creative director Jim Nevins was watching a television biography when he had an epiphany. As Judy Garland sang "Get Happy," Nevins reali zed the country was ready for "a new national attitude." He tested his hunch with an independent telephone poll of I,000 U.S. women and di scovered he was right on the money: 97 percent of women said happiness is more important than beauty; 96 percent preferred happinrss to power; and, 95 percent said they would rather be happy than rich. In October, Clinique gave them Happy, an upbeat fragrance that mingles spring mimosa blossoms, Hawaiian wedding Oowers and high-altitude mountain laurel. By Christmas, Happy was one of the country's five best selling fragrances. Meanwh~e in design labs up and down 7th Avenue, fashion designers whipping up their spring collections were starting to feel happy, too. "At first it was this tiny, little sliver of light." says Cynthia Rowley, who showed her spring collection to the standard " Put on a Happy ing, · newly svelte · Isaac Mizrahi unveiled glowing Greek goddess gowns. ..

Paying attention to stress is a necessity. "S tress causes brain damage.'' Research reported this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reinforces his analysis. A Princeton-Rockefeller Uni versity team finds the production of new cells in the hippocampus of monkeys is dimini shed under stress. The fact that new cells are produced in their brains at all may amaze some sc ientists. "There has been tnormous skepticism for several decades that this was possible," Princeton researcher Elizabeth Gould said. " Up lo thi s point. there has been a lot of res isranee to the idea, but I think people arc going to change their attitudes.

The American-led team of arms experts and diplomats left U.N. headquarters in a convoy of more than 20 vans and buses. AU .N. official. spealcing on condition of anonymity, said they went to Saddam's Radwaniyah palace. belieVed to be one of the largest of the presidential compounds. "Our mission is ve[)l important. I wi sh that we will succeed in it fully for the benefit of everybody," said Pietro Cordone. an Italian diplomat, told reporters beforehand. Although plans for the inspection were announced in advance, and Iraq has had ample time to prepare the eight targeted compounds as it chose, the U.N. arms experts tried to maintain secrecy about which site would be first. "We don't know yet where we are going. We will be told by o ~r chief inspector," one French inspector told reporters just before the convoy departed. He did not give his name. · The U.N. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the inspectors went to the Radwaniyah palace near Saddam Hussein International Airport. and would be there well into the afternoon. There was no immediate word of any interference. U.N . officials have said their main interest is not the palaces themselves but the many buildings that share the same grounds. U.N. teams are not expecting to find actual weapons. Instead. they will be hunting for documents and other evidence that weapons were stored or made at these sites. ~ .. ,., '· ,. .,. .... •_,._ Thursday, March Diplomats, inspectors search.

NASA's decision to send Glenn back Into orbit has reignited the space race, only this time the contenders are seniors. (AP) Glenn's not the only senior citizen eager to journey into space " '·• " ' By GARY FIELDS and PAUL OVERBERG USA Today WASHINGTON- Juveniles living in rural areas of the USA are being arrested for murder and manslaughter at a higher rate than in 1990. while the rates for juveniles in cities and suburbs are declining. Although the overwhelming majority of murders committed by people under the age of 18 occur in the nation's urban areas, the arrest rate in rural counties increased 56.6 percent between 1990 and 1996. according to a USA TODAY analysis of the FBI's "Uniform Crime Reports." The arrest rate for juveniles in rural America- defined by the federal government as counties, with populations of less than I00,000 - runs counter to a trend in which the arrest rate for juveniles charged with murder has dropped nationwide. The rate of juvenile homicide arrests in the nation's cities dropped more than 14 percent while the arrest rate for the same crime in suburban counties dropped more than I0 percent from 19.90 through 1996. The headlines this week from Jonesboro, Ark., where two middle school students are accused of shooting four classmates and a teacher to death, highlight a disturbing trend that had already been detected by statisticians. Jonesboro sits in rural Craighead County. Two other recent school shooting's : in which teenagers were charged with - killing other teenagers also occurred in rural parts of Kentucky and Mis· sissippi. Criminologists speculated Wednesday that the availability of guns in rural areas may account for the trend. "Weapons are a much more accepled part of the culture in rural ·areas, especially in Western and Southeni states," says Brian Levin. a criminologist at Stockton College in Pomona, N.J.

In fact, a study released by the Justice Policy Institute sa id that 30 perce nt of all juvenile homicide arresl~ occurred in just four ci ties - t'Jew York. Chicago, Detroit and Los Ange les. Six states - California. New York, Florida. Texas. Michigan and Illinois - accounted for S6 percent of the juvenile homicide arrests. The same study said that 93.4 percent of the nation 's counties experienced one or no juvenile homicides in 1995. The South, deftned as the swath .of the USA fr om Texas to Maryland, leads the rest of the count[)' in juvenile homicides, f?ut only slightly. According to the FBI, 4.5 of every 100,000 juveniles in the South were arrested for murder in. 1996, slightly higher than the rate in the West. The Northeast and the Midwest lagged 110 AKC Reg. Ronwener, neutered, 4 yea rs old , to good·far m home, The 20 diplomats are accompanying the inspectors under a 1-eb. :n agreement between Iraq and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. which lifted the threat of U.S . and British military strikes over Iraq's previou.s refusal to open up the compou,tds. Iraq had cited national sovereignty in keeping the palaces off-limits, and the prese nce of the diplomats is meant to soothe any affront to Iraqi dignity. The 58 weapons inspectors are headed by American Charles Duel fer, who is the chief a.~s i s t ~ nt to Richard Butler, head of the U.N . Special Commis· sion responsible for the searches for Iraq's weapons of mass destruqion. The inspectors must certify that Iraq is rid of all its long-range missiles and chemical. biological and nuclear weapons before the U.N. Security Council will lift economic sanctions imposed after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Iraq has long insisted that it has destroyed all the banned weapons; an assertion that Butler challenges. . Butler said Tuesday that the inspections will last about two weeks. He dtd not rule out future vi sits. The stage for today's inspection was set the night before when the leader of the diplomats, Jayantha Dhanapala from Sri Lanka, sent a written notice to the Iraqi government. Asked if that didn't take away the element of surprise so important to weapons inspec tions. Dhanapala said: " No, because we do not know where we are going and which particular site is going to be visited." Iraq's agreement with Annan deals with eight presidential sites spread across the country. The sites occ upy an area of -12.5 square miles and 1,058 buildings.

By STEPHANIE ARMO~ USA Today You hear it all the time: Evervone i~ .yorking too much. · . Our jobs demand more than we can give. There's never enough time. ~e,'re headed for a cataclysmic burnout. Those are the gripes from factory floors to executive suites in the stressed-out, downsized, lean-andmean '90s. But here 's a jarring fact: U.S. workers actually are working less each week than our parents and grandparents did. The average time worked across all industries is 39.5 · hours a week, down from 42.8 hours in 1948, the Department of Labor says. The low point was 38 hours in 1982. "The average work week contin· ue• to decline," says Ken Deavers. chief economist at the Employment Policy Foundation. Of course, the moment you say that, people "look at you like you're from Mars," Deavers admits. The work week ligures are based on surveys of about 50,000 households, and some suspect they are, if anything, too high. John Robinson, a University of Maryland sociology professor, has done time-diary studies that show people tend to overes· timate how much they work. ''I'm sorry to report things are not so bad," says Robinson, co-author of "Time for Life," a book on how Americans use their time. And research by the University of Michigan shows that leisure time actually is increasing - in part because of early retirement, less time spent on housework and shorter wmk weeks. So why do many workers, feel so stressed? "It ·seems like you work, work, -work," says chemist Michael Abiodun, of Troy, Mich. "I take my work with me when I'm going home. If I can't get the project done during the day, I think about it." Some people, of course, are working more than the national average. Toiling 50 hours a week is not uncommon, especially among executives in financial services, manufacturing and technology. In fact, the share of workers toiling 49 hours or more has roughly doubled since !976 to just under 20 percent. , But overall, time at work has dropped since the 1940s. Analysts say fewer people work in farming, with --its sunup-to-sundown schedule. While more women have entered the work force, some tend to put in few• er hours than men - driving the weekly average down. Experts also point to a rise in service jobs with iimited hours. And cost-cutting companies have become more vigilant about limiting long hours. The decrease in hours hits all industries, the Labor Department reports. Yet many people complain about work-related stress. The reason ma: be dual-career families , new technology and a faster work pace not a longer workweek. Consider Kathy Smith. The 48year-old administrative assistant works about 40 hours a week. roughly I 0 hours less than her father did . But she Is also raising two boys with a husband who also works. It's a change from when she was young and her mother stayed home. "We all appreciated when we grew up that my mom could be there when we needed her," says Smith, of Erlanger, Ky. "!feel I'm cheating my kids." Technology a culprit And, in an ironic twist. many point to technology as one reason we're feeling worse instead of better. They blame our stress on: • More technology in the workplace. E-mail, voice mail, faxes and phones have workers strugg ling to get the job done. There's no time anymore just to think . "Technology is supposed to rrtake it easier, but you're still working so hard." says Abiodun. 43. "I get interrupted and I forget what I'm working on." • Technology making work more access ible. Desperate for a quiet moment, we're using technology to do work away from the office. A 1997 survey by Steelcase, wh ich makes office furniture, found a third of respondents take work home at least once a week. "I break out in a cold sweat if I don't have access to my e-mail," says Edward Melia. managing director of SHL CyberQuest, a Boston Internet recruiting consulting firm. " I don't get a break." Even on a Caribbean vacation, he brought along hi s laptop computers. While the average time worked is based on self-reported hours. many workers may not count the time they are at home but in contact with work via e-mail, laptops and pagers. • Employers asking for more. While technology is leaving us besieged, we're also working at a faster pace because employers demand it. Corporate cutbacks have left fewer employees trying to do more jobs. It's even got a name: multitaski ng. "There are times I get home and have barely enough energy to watch television," says Linda Ladwig. 32, who handles phones, custome" and photocopying at Office Depot in Green Bay. Wis. "It's exhausting." Pursuit of the good life Financially, many families have no choice but to devote more resources to work. But in some cases, it's the elusive good life - two cars, exotic vacations, private schools- that propels many to work more. High debt also keeps many trapped. · Only 25 percent of employees at Baxter International, a medical products and service company, are willing Thursday, March 26, 1998 Pomeroy • Middleport, Ohio Timely trimming ' Penn State falls to Minn. in NIT finals Pick 3: 1.0-6 Pick 4: 4-6-4-8 Buckeye.5: 5-31-34-35-36 SportS' on Page 4 to slow their career and salary advancement Ia gel the time allocation they want between work and personal life, according to a company survey of more than 1.000 employ- • ees. a1 At the same time. some work because of an inner hunger to succeed. Jeffrey Christian. CEO of executive search firm Christian & Timhers. has a 16-molllh-old son. But it's work that often keeps him up until 2 a.m . His pace is frenzied. While taking a midday exercise break. he Juggles phone c~ ll s , watches CNBC and handles paperwork. "For me, I thin k it' s part of the general Midwestern wonh ethic," Chri.1tian says, his voice coming in ragged gasps as he works the exercise machine. "I get the chore done and there's two or three more to do." Corporate cutbacks have also caused job insecurity. Working hard is sel f-preservation . Connie Lembo puts in overtime because her job demands it. Because she often works more than 80 hours a week. she stays at a hotel instead of driving the hour home. Even sleep can feel like a luxury.

After-tax corporate profits slipped · 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $483.7 billion, the Commerce Department said today: . 111e repon, a revision of previous estimates of the gross domestic product, contained the department's first look at profits in the fourth quarter. The drop was the worst since the first three months of 1994 and the first since the July-October period of 1996. The report didn't seem to trouble Wall Street too much since the companies surveyed had already_reported their results individually. By early afternoon, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 38 points, adding to Wednesday's 32-point drop. It occurred even though the economy overall g(!:w at a brisk 3.7 percent annuli! pace. Though not quite as strong as the 3.9 percent estimated a month ago, that still is considered robust. For the year as a whole, the increase in after-tax corporate profit' -up 7.3 percent to $480.3 billion· outpaced the 3.8 percent increase in ~he economy's total output of goods and services. The fourth quarter decline may prove a harbinger of profit trends this y~ar. Economists fear the exceptionally strong corporate profits, which have fueled the stock boom on Wall Street, may be coming to an end. Faced with shortages of qualified workers - a result of the" 'lowest unemployment ,rate in 24 yeai. many employe" have bee'n forced to raise wages. In many industrie~. they haven't been able to raise the prices of their products. If they did, they'd lose sales to Asian goods, which are less expensive thanks to sharp currency devaluations in the region. The result is a classic sq ueeze on profits that can be overcome only by rapid increases in productivity. Analysts believe businesses will be hardpressed to match the healthy productivity gains of the past two years, largely because the workers left to hire have fewer skills and less education and would thus probably be not be a.' efficient as workers already on the payroll. Despite that (hinking. the stock market ha.~ charged ahead this year, with the Dow Jones industrial average advancing 12 percent to record highs. The Commerce Department .said its slight revision of GOP reflected a decrease in the previous estimate of consu mer spending on hospital •ervices and natural gas. That moro than offset an upward revision in business .spending on aircrJft. According to today's report, fourth -quarter consumer spending advanced at a moderate 2.5 percent rate. A big 9.1 percent rate advance in housing construction helped make up for a rare 0.8 percent rate decline in investment by business in new equ ipment and buildings. Gov.ernmenl spending advanced slightly. Export sal~s and a buildup of business inventories also contributed to growth. Even with the fourth-quarter adjustment, last year's overall growth of 3.8 percenr still was the strongest in nine years. Economist< are pre dicting moderate growth of around · 2. 7 percent this year. They expect the decline becau•e they're looking for the Asian financial cri•is to •lash U.S. export sales . to the region and bring a flood of cheap Asian goods into the United States. So far lower intere•l · rates and lower oil prices stemming from the crisis have seemed to help the U.S. economy more than the deteriorating trade balance has hurt it. In a sign of the health. the Labor Department said today that new application·s for unemployment benefits totaled 313,000 last week . Though up by 4,000 from the previous week. the total still was at a level signaling a strong demand for labor.

Police say the two waited ·behind the Westside Middle School on Tuesday and opened fire with rifles when classmates and teachers came outside because of a false fire alarm. Four students and a teacher were killed. Drew's grandfather said Wednesday that his grandson confessed to triggering the alarm and to st~aling ~uns and ammunition from his house. The hearing was. recessed at one point so Johnson could talk to his son. The judge let them go into a comer and talk. They whispered, hugged and cried before returning to their seats. • "It's the most difficult thing I've had to do," JOhnson said. Mitchell's mother, Gretchen Woodard of Jonesboro, pur her head on the table and Drew's mother, Pat Golden, wept as prosecutors described the charges against iheir rons. . · Mitchell reached across the table to hold his mother's hand.
