City closes bathhouses to cut AIDS
By United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — The city's health director, with the backing of Mayor Diane Feinstein, will announce today the closing of bathhouses catering to homosexuals in a campaign to slow the spread of AIDS.
The announcement was to be made by Public Health Director Dr. Mervyn Silverman, who was expected to say the message based on health issues and not politics.
Some members of San Francisco's large gay community oppose any bathhouse shutdown on grounds that would inhibit the homosexual lifestyle. He thinks he has the skills the bathhouses have become nothing more than "orgy rooms."
Feinstein has approved a shutdown to left the matter officially up to Silva.
AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, an incurable disease that eventually proves fatal and is spread by homosexual contact among males.
“if this were heterosexual related problem it would be resolved by now.”
A poll published yesterday by the San Francisco Examiner said 80 percent of the people responding wanted to ban houses or close them down altogether.
The poll of adult San Franciscans also said gays were evenly divided on the issue.
Silverman had been expected to announce the closing of gay bathhouses 10 days ago but backed off without giving any reason. He then began talking with members of the gay community before making an official decision.

Cherokee leaders reflect on council
By United Press International
RED CLAY, Tenn. - Cherokee Indian leaders said their historic council meeting on sacred ground is largely symbolic, but annual meetings are needed to discuss the serious problems facing the tribe.
Leaders of the eastern and western bands of the Cherokee Nation met in joint council Friday and Saturday for a gathering of thousands of people attended the reunion.
The Cherokes, like all Indian tribes, face problems with education, health
The most important resolution passed by the 27-member council called for annual meetings for discussion of "areas of mutual concern and interest."
care and unemployment. The joint council at Red Clay addressed these issues, but the historic significance of the work was shadowed by the legislative business.
The Cherokees were split into two bands in the late 1830s when the federal government forced most of the tribe to march to Oklahoma along what became known as the "Trail of Tears." The Cherokees followed the walk, and 4,000 died along the way.
"The Cherokee Nation is regarded in Washington and across the country as a leader in Indian affairs," said Chief Ross Swimmer of the western band. "I think it's incumbent upon us to come
together at times to make our voice heard in Washington."
About 1,200 Cherokees continued the tribe's presence in the Southeast by hiding in the North Carolina mountains. Today more than 53,000 Cherokeees are enrolled in the Oklahoma band, while the eastern bank claims about 9,000 members.

Fund refuses to release material for Meese case
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Senate investigators reviewing Edwin Meese's nomination for attorney general are inquiring into the refusal of a 1960 Reagan transition fund, of which Meese was a trustee, to disclose how it used nearly $500,000 raised from private donors.
Some of the money donated to the Reagan Transition Foundation, Inc. apparently was paid as consulting fees to Meese, a top Reagan campaign official who later became presidential counselor.
On his 1961 financial statement, Meese listed the foundation among three sources from which he received compensation in excess of $3,900 paid
Meese's most outspoken critic on the Senate. Judiciary Committee. Sen.
Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, has been exploring the use of the transition fund and plans to ask Meese to testify about it under oath if his stalled confirmation hearings ever resume, an aide to the senator said.
One question, for example, could center on whether the foundation paid for any of Meese's travel. In the latest revelation to jeopardize Meese's stalled nomination, it was disclosed this week that he failed to report on his ethics statements acceptance from private sources of expenses for numerous trips.
Meese, CIA Director William Casey and Air Force Secretary Vern Orr served as trustees of the Transition Foundation, a private non-profit corporation set up because the Reagan team said that the $2 million given by the government was insufficient for the transition.
Boy's plans for 'road trip' fail

Dunbar said both the boy's parents were area bus drivers themselves.
ALBANY, Ore — A 14-year-old boy whose estranged parents are bus drivers stole a Greyhound bus carly mother. He did not make it all the way, mother. He didn't make it all the way.
The boy, accompanied by a hitchhiker he picked up after leaving Medford on the way to Portland, drove the bus into a highway rest stop. But the vehicle jumped a curb, down into an undertreatment and came to rest in some buses.
The unidentified youth, who had driven more than 200 miles, and the hitchhiker fled on foot. A state trooper found them about two miles away.
He said the boy would face charges in juvenile court for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Parker will face the same charges as an adult.
Instead, the teen-ager found a bus at the Medford bus yard that was ready for a charter trip. flipped the switches to start it and took off. Along the way, he picked up David Parker, 25, of Orange, Calif.
Trooper John Dunbar said the boy told him he left his father's home in California.

authorities guessed they could find him

"The hitchhiker gets up in the bus and there's this 14-year old kid driving the bus, so he's got to know it's stolen." Dunbar said, "But he didn't do anything — in fact, the kid let the hitchhiker drive for awhile."
