Justice Dept. to indict Marcos
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government plans to seek an indictment today of deposed Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos on racketeering and fraud, according to a criminal investigation of Marcos said yesterday.
President Reagan, meanwhile, indicated he could step aside and not intervene to stop a MEMORANDUM.
The charges would stem from a probe of allegations that Marcos stole enormous sums of money from the Philippines and then engaged in a bank robbery with the funds after freighting to the United States.
Marcos' attorneys have been engaging in plea
bargaining negotiations with the Justice Department and the decision to take the matter to a federal jury in New York to seek charges against Mr. Ransom, each an accord by a deacon of 4 p.m. yesterday.
In Honolulu, Marces spokesman Gemo Trindad reviewed comment to report on the impending indictment and when asked that Marces knew he was guilty, he said he'd been talking to his lawyers, so he must know.
In June 1986, four months after Marcos fled to the United States, U.S. Attorney Rudolph Guliani began investigating Marcos in connection with a plot of money laundering that sums of money from government money to secret bank
Engaging in plea bargaining discussions prior to indictment was a concession by the Justice Department to the State Department, which had long been reluctant to attempt to avoid inducing the former head of state.
The allegedly diverted blood belonged to both the Philippine and U.S. governments, according to in opinion Wednesday by a three-judge panel in a matter relating to the Marcos probe.
accounts.
According to the sources close to the probe, the justice Department decided to move against dares when his attorneys didn't respond by a letter or a phone call. He was a demand of a guilty plea on a racketeering charge.

Time again to pick a perfect pumpkin
Bv M. Meredith Relph
Kansan staff writer
Autumn has brought a cool crispness to the evening air and has sent red and golden leaves scufling along streets and sidewalks. Halloween is just more than a month long, and those places are placed on patches in anticipation of the holiday.
Choosing the right pumpkin for a jack-o-latern is almost as important as the carving of the scary face. For more than a decade, children around Lawrence enjoyed a trip from Schauke's pumpkin patch northward of Lawrence.
Larry and Janet Schake own the pumpkin patch, but sheila Schake and her brother, Scott, started growing pumpkins on their parents' farm about 13 years ago as a 4-H project.
Schanke said children from 100 schools and about
3,000 people came each week during October to
the event.
"We start it for fun and as a project, and it's just gotten bigger every year." Sheila Schake said.
"Most people want to find the biggest pumpkin in the patch." Schuake said. "We sold one that weighted 135 pounds."
"But the biggest pumpkin we had was two years ago. I weight 215 pounds, and a restaurant in Denver."
Pumpkins are sold at the Schake's farm not as a profit-making operation, but just for fun. Schake said the family had never increased the price of pumpkins, which is 10 cents a pound. An added attraction at
Schaeke's farm is the hayrack ride required to get to the pumpkin patch.
For those who buy their Halloween pumps in town, Undra Lofton, a produce worker at Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., said the store had a large display of them.
People really like the ride. There are some kids who have never been on a farm or have never seen a horse.
"We've said one truckload and are on our second." Lafton said. "Kids are amazed when they come in and eat."
Loffton said that the store had received six pumpkin weighing more than 120 lbs, and that only one of the
Dick Powers, produce manager at the Community Mercantile Coop, 704 Maine St., said that although he did not have as much space available for his pumpkin harvest, it was enough to afford the least expensive in Lawrence at 8 cents a pound.
"I have a good variety of sizes, and we've been selling about 60 numbers per week." Powers said.
Although carving the scariest face imaginable on a jack-o-lantern is the desire of many young Halloween artists, Dillons Big Store. 3000 W. Sixth St., offers an alternative that allows the pumpkin to last longer.
John Poseh, produce worker at Dillons, said customers could choose nummings with painted faces.
"It makes them last longer than if you carved the face," he said. "They've been pretty popular so far."

He said that some schools groomed students to be Rhodes scholars.
"They are Rhodes scholar-produc ing machines." he said.
Brehm said that two state candids dates won last year but that neither were from Kansas institutions.
