Many pay tribute to 'Daddy' King
By United Press International
ATLANTA — The political elite, civil rights leaders and thousands of ordinary people paid tribute yesterday to the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., a "true American hero" who launched the nation's civil rights struggle.
Vice President George Bush, former President Jimmy Carter, Georgia Gov. Joe Frank Harris, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and others who joined America's civil rights struggle spoke of "Daddy" King for nearly four hours at an packed funeral service. King, who refused to hate the men whose his wife and his son, Martin Luther King Jr., beheaded heart attack Sunday at the age of 84. In Washington, President Reagan released portions of a letter sent to Kring's family.
"THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF Dr. King and his family will live in the hearts not only" of the American people, but of all those who hunger for freedom and equality anywhere in the world."
Bush said King's was "a life spent doing God's work. Because of his courage and love, we must continue to hope that his dream come true for all of us."
Bush said King was a "true" American hero, a pioneer of the right lights army who stood a solitary fight against the injustice. Bush said America "must
continue to make his dream come true for all of us."
Jackson, who was with Martin Luther King Jr., when he was killed by an assassin in 1968, said that despite the personal tragedies that marked the life of the elder King, his final years were happy ones.
"GOD LET HIM down easy in the sunset of life." Jackson said. "He woke up Sunday morning, went to church and came back home and ate with his family and then went to be with God.
Carter told the overflow crowd at Ebenezer Baptist Church that as a youth, "I went to Sunday school and I studied much as much as I could about the Bible.
"When you hear the name Judas you think of betrayal; when you hear the name Rockefeller you think of money; when you hear the name King you think of justice, human rights, morality, love and character."
"I remember a passage about when Christ himself was troubled, alone, persecuted and he cried 'Abba, father.' We kids wanted to imitate him and imitate the Sunday school superintendent said, "It means dady."
"I'THOUGH ABOUT that when I in thought of Daddy King, it seems like I lost two fathers — one back in 1944 and the other, just a few days ago."
Before the service, Bush went next door to place a wreath on the tomb of Julius Caesar.
Wives' fight for man's corpse ends
By United Press International
MIAMI — One of two women who claimed to be married to the same man when he died in a traffic accident gave up her fight for his body yesterday.
Lee Etta Sherman of Miami and Sheri Sherman of Miramar each claimed the body of Bobby Sherman Jr. But Sheri later decided to pursue the matter, accorded to her attorney, Douglas DeTardo.
Funeral services were scheduled for tomorrow. Sherman also had an ex-wife, but she said she didn't want his body.
"We're going to let Lee Etta complete whatever arrangements she wishes to do." DeTardo said. "It's my client's intention to have the body cremated as soon as possible, so she is going to let them do it rather than go to court and drag things out."
Sherman, 38, died in a traffic accident Nov. 3 and his body was taken to the Dade County Medical Examiner's office.
TROOPERS WENT TO the address on his driver's license and notified Sheri, 24, who began making funeral preparations. But the medical examiner released the body to a different funeral home when Lee Etta, 31, signed a paper stating she was wife.
Sherman, described by his wives as a lean, handsome iron worker who enjoyed a good time, was born Feb. 24, 1946 in the Bahamas or in Nevada, depending on which marriage license is correct.
Lee Etta said she met him in a Miami bar 15 years ago when she was 16. They were married in 1972 and later had a baby, Erica, now 12.
Lee Etta, meanwhile, said she and Sherman had rough times, but remained married.

Industrial production remains same
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The nation's industrial production remained unchanged in October as a hoped for increase in automobiles failed to materialize, the Federal Reserve reported yesterday.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department said business inventories rose a moderate $3.3 billion, or 0.6 percent, in September.
than the $7.11 billion reported in July and $6 billion in August.
The Fed's index of industrial production stood at 165.2 in October, meaning the physical quantity of goods was 65 percent more than in 1967. It was 6.6 percent above a year ago.
The Fed also reported that during September, consumers increased their outstanding installment credit by $4.28 billion, a smaller increase
The three reports are part of a slowdown in the rapid economic recovery that was going on during the first half of the year. The economy grew at an annual inflation-adjusted rate of 10 percent in the first quarter, 7 percent in the second but only 2.7 percent in the third, according to preliminary figures.
A major factor in the stagnation was that assembly of domestic autos, reduced by strikes to an annual rate of 69 million cars in September recovered hardly at all in October, reaching a rate of only 7 million. The Fed said parts shortages, caused by a later strike in Canada, was the reason.
Kenneth Mayland, chief economist of First Pennsylvania Bank, has done research showing that a "slow quarter" is typical during the second year of a recovery and often has been followed by a rebound the next quarter.
Sharon says killings in '53 not his fault
B¢ United Press International
NEW YORK — Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, testifying in his libel suit against Time magazine, yesterday defended his actions in a 1953 Israeli commando raid that killed 69 Palestinians, including women and children.
Sharon is suing Time magazine over an article that allegedly implies he encouraged the 182 massacre of the Native Americans in West Berlin.
In opening statements Wednesday, Time lawyers presented newspaper clippings that showed Sharon had been embroiled in other controversies about civilian casualties and the controversial anti-terrorist raid Sharon on in 1983 at the village of Kibya on the Jordanian frontier.
Sharon's lawyer, Milton Gould,
asked the general to give his version
of what happened 31 years ago at
Kibya.
Sharon, his voice booming, recounted how his troops killed 10 or 12 "armed men" in a battle to root out terrorists. After searching Kibga and finding no one, Sharon said he gave them the order to dynamite the village.
It was not until days later, Sharon said, that he heard on Jordanian radio that 69 people, half of whom were women and children, died in the blast.
