Televised Israeli debate produces heated charges
RAMAT GAN, Israel — Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Labor party challenger Shimon Peres traded sharply worded charges yesterday in a televised election debate focusing on the economy, Israel's occupation of Lebanon and Jewish settlements.
Neither candidate appeared to emerge as a clear victor in the 30-minute confrontation, the only scheduled debate before the July 23 general elections.
Polls show at least one third of the voters are still undecided just 13 days before the balloting.
Shamir vowed to promote "massive Jewish settlement" in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, cut 400 percent inflation, eventually pull the Israeli Army out of Lebanon and try to bring a million Jewish immigrants to Israel within a generation.
Peres pointed out that inflation had doubled in last nine months since Shamir took office.
Shamir, whose Likud party is trailing Labor in public opinion polls, appeared uneasy when questioned on economic matters, which have emerged as the leading issue in the campaign.
Taiwan mine accident trans 122
JUI FANG, Taiwan — A fire erupted in a deep coal mine in northern Taiwan yesterday, collapsing parts of the underground shafts and trapping 122 miners just three weeks after the country's worst mine disaster.
President Chiang Ching Kuo, informed of the fire at the Mei-Shan mine, ordered all 110 coal mines on the island to close tomorrow and cease operations until safety checks were made.
The fire occurred three weeks after an explosion in another coal mine killed 74 miners, the country's worst mine disaster.
Rescue teams worked in continuous shifts when the fire erupted about 12:30 a.m. CDT.
Government officials said they believed miners could have survived by hiding in compartments about 2,200 feet into the mine if they had managed to seal the compartments, which are believed to have a 10-hour air supply.
FTC approves Texaco oil merger
WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission gave final approval yesterday to Texaco's $10.1 billion takeover of Getty Oil, one of a recent spurt of mergers in the oil industry.
Texaco's acquisition will nearly double the New York-based company's worldwide crude oil and natural gas liquid reserves to about 3.8 billion barrels. Texaco will remain the nation's third biggest oil company behind Exxon and Mobil.
Texaco had won tentative FTC permission for the merger in February and was allowed to buy Gettys's stock at the time. The commission gave final approval on a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Michael Pertschuk dissenting.
The final order includes a change sought by Sens, Robert Dole and Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas that will result in Texaco retaining operation of Getty's refinery in El Dorado, Kan.
Soviet filmmaker defects to West
MILAN, Italy — Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, a Cannes film festival award winner, said yesterday he would ask for political asylum in the West because Soviet authorities prevented him from earning a living making movies.
In his 24 years in the state-controlled Soviet film industry, he was allowed to produce only six films, Tarkovsky said in Milan.
"There were periods in my life in which I didn't have five kopeks to board a bus," he said.
Although Italian television reported he had asked for asylum in the United States, Tarkovsky said he had not yet decided where he wanted to live.
Tarkovsky said Soviet authorities ignored his requests for permission to continue working abroad and to bring his aliling 14-year-old son Andrei to Italy. The boy lives in Moscow with his 81-year-old grandmother.
Two held for imprisoning women
LOS ANGELES — A brother and sister arrested for holding an elderly blind and deaf woman prisoner in a home described as a "fifthy hole" may have forced the woman to sign over all her money for food, police said yesterday.
Michael Pensis, 46, and his sister Nadine, 42, were booked late Monday on suspicion of endangering a dependent adult.
In addition to the 71-year-old victim, police found a 90-year-old woman apparently living in an 8-by-10 foot metal shed in the backyard of the house. Police have not released the names of either victim.
Lt. Charles Massey said detectives were investigating allegations that the 71-year-old woman gave the pair $250 cash and a $400 check, leaving her virtually penniless.
Officials said the 90-year-old woman found in the backyard may have lived in the metal shed for more than four years.
Murder of gay sparks Maine rally
BANGOR, Maine — Homosexual activists, furious at the slaying of a gay man who was hurled from a bridge, charged yesterday that persecution against homosexuals was common in the city.
Interweave, a gay rights organization, staged a march to protest the drown-slaying of Charles Howard, 23, of Bangor.
More than 200 gays and social activists - wearing lavender arm bands - marched through Bangor streets Monday night.
Three teenagers have been arrested and charged with murder.
Howard was described by friends as flamboyant about his homosexuality.
"The first time I saw him, my first impression was 'Oh God, the Queen Mary just landed.' But then I got to know him and he just wanted to be loved. He didn't want to hurt anyone and he didn't want to be hurt," said Mary Jane Kennedy, one of Howard's friends.
Previous research has concentrated on the ethanol in bourbon and other alcoholic beverages as the possible cause of the symptoms. These include loss of facial hair and breast enlargement, and occasionally occur in male chronic alcohol abusers with cirrhosis of the liver.
WASHINGTON — Estrogens derived from plants have been found in bourbon, raising the possibility that they are the cause of the "feminizing" effects sometimes seen in alcoholic men, a scientist reported yesterday.
Estrogens disocvered in bourbon
Judith Gavaler of the University of Pittsburgh said three kinds of the substances known as phyto-estrogens were found in bourbon.
Today will be partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of morning showers. The highs will be in the 90s while the lows will range in the low to mid 60s. Winds will blow from the north between 5 and 15 mph.

In the nation, temperatures will range in the low to mid 80s on the Pacific coast and northeastern coasts. Temperatures will remain in the 90s in the southwestern and southeastern states.
Reagan says Jackson trips were legal
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan said Monday Jesse Jackson did not break the law in getting American prisoners released from Syria and Cuba and said he is grateful to Jackson for doing "something I couldn't have done officially."
But, he added, "I think it would be very dangerous if this became a political ploy for candidates in the future."
In an interview last week, Regan left the impression that the Democratic presidential candidate might have violated the Logan Act, which prohibits private citizens from representing the United States in dealings with foreign countries.
But in a question and answer session with Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern editors and broadcasters at a White House luncheon Monday he
REAGAN SAID in the interview that he was only calling attention to the fact that "the Logan Act is very specific . . . and private citizens can't go and negotiate the terms and arrangements with foreign governments.
"Anyone who wants to can go simply as a citizen, a private citizen, and try to do a humanitarian thing as he successfully did in Syria," Reagan said. "I'm grateful that those people were released in Cuban prisons," he added.
said, "I don't think there is any evidence" of the 18th century law being broken by Jackson.
"But it is a thin line that has to be walked and I would hope that it would not become a general practice," he said.
With a smile, he added, "I could have done without some of the criticisms of American policy that

were made while he was in those foreign countries."
HE PREDICTED blacks would vote Republican if they were made aware of what his policies have done.
In a voice tinged with emotion, he said: "If we can find a way for those people to know what we've done, I think that they would choose our policies, rather than the policies of the other two, too many to the bondage of selfishism rather than opening up jobs and opportunities."
Reagan said his environmental record is "the other best-kept secret of our administration."
by declaring that "the time for action is now" to clean up the Chesapeake Bay.
Later, Reagan took the opportunity to dramatize his concern for the people of the country.
At a firehouse luncheon with bay area fishermen, Reagan embraced the "Save the Bay" movement.
"THIS IS MORE: than an income to you. It's a way of life," he told them. And, believe me, we aren't going to let the kids get away. Clearly, the time for action is now."
The trip, the first of three events this week carefully planned to highlight Teagan's environmental concerns was made in mobile relations gambit by his critics.
He said there should not be "any thought of (political) damage from that appointment" and declined further comment.
Reagan sidestepped questions about his appointment of former EPA chief Anne Burford to a federal advisory panel.

Feel free to stop by our Merle Norman studio here in Lawrence and let our beauty advisors show you how.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to make a dull face look bright is to add a touch of color by using your favorite blush not only on your cheek bones but on your brow bone and earlobes as well. Be sure your blush color is a nice bright shade such as Merle Norman's Candid Rose, Sienna Glo or, for those of you with extra dark tans, our new Frosted Sienna or Elegant Sepia blush. It's easy to brighten that "summer look" with the right color.
