Farrakhan's speech anti-Semitic, Bradley says
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Mayor Tom Bradley yesterday condemned a speech by Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan as anti-Semitic, and conceded that his private attempt to stop the minister from making inflammatory remarks was only a "partial success."
"The sad truth is that there were passages that contained undercurrents of anti-Semitism." Bradley, who is black, said at a news
conference "i repudiate racism, hatred, violence and bigotry wherever it occurs. I make no exception. This includes Minister Farrakhan."
Bradley's refusal to speak out against Farkhan before the minister's speech at the Forum sports arena Saturday night ignited wide criticism, most of which came from the Jewish community and elected officials including Gov. George Deukmejian, whose re-role the mayor is expected to challenge next year.
Bradley said he had tried, with the help of other black leaders, to persuade Farrakhan not to make anti-Jewish remarks during his stay in Los Angeles.
"I reasoned that if I simply joined the voices of others who all week long attacked Farrakhan before he spoke, surely he would be encouraged" to make inflammatory remarks, Bradley said.
"If on the other hand I tried an appeal for restraint, and if it worked.
Rabbi Allen Freehling, president of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, denounced Farakhan's remarks, saying they promoted division between Jews and blacks.
it would be a great, victory for Los Angeles. It was a calculated risk."
"Farrakhan suggests there is a contest between Muslims, Jews and Christians or between blacks and whites," Freehleng said. "That invitation is an 'invitation of divisiveness that down the road only continues to
put black against white and Christians and Jews against Muslims."
Farrakhan, whose Southern California visit drew criticism from several quarters including politicians and Jewish officials all week, told a predominantly black audience that he had not come to the nation's second largest city to attack the Jews.
But moments later he insisted, in a comment that drew roaring cheers, "I am declaring for the world that they are not the chosen people of
God. I am declaring for the world that you, the black people, are."
During his speech, Farranam made a mocking reference to Bradley's planned news conference, telling the crowd, "The Jews have an iron grip on the politicians ... If the mayor comes out against me tomorrow, they'll say, 'Well, you waited too long.' You can't please these people."

N.C. posse seeks fugitives
United Press International
HOT SPRINGS, N.C. — A pose of 300 lawmen, using helicopters, planes and bloodhounds, swarmed around rugged Doggett Mountain yesterday, searching isolated farmhouses for two armed fugitives suspected of killing a state trooper.
"We haven't had any breaks on a thing yet," said trooper Sgt. W.D. Stiles. "We're feel like they're in the mountain range."
Officers think the fugitives from the Franklin County, Ark., jail fleed into the Blue Ridge mountains after rookie Highway Patrolman Coggins was shot to death Saturday when he stopped a suspicious vehicle.
Coggins, 25, the third North Carolina trooper killed this year, was found in his patrol car by a passing
motorist, who notified authorities over the car's radio transmitter.
Stiles said the fugitives, identified as William Richard Bray and Jimmy Rios, both 23, were armed and considered very dangerous.
"We know that they have a .22 rifle and a .357 magnum revolver, the trooper's weapon," he said.
The search centered on a 20-mile area of Doggett Mountain, some 20 miles southwest of Hot Springs near where a 1976 Chevrolet pickup truck with Arkansas license plates was found abandoned on N.C. Highway 209.
"We're concentrating our search at that point in a radius where the vehicle was," Silles said. Authorities think the still are in the area because there has been no report of a stolen vehicle or missing person.
Oregon politicians try to sell tax
SALEM, Ore. — Oregon voters, living in one of only five states that do not have a sales tax, are being asked to approve such a levy but the question is likely to be defeated as it has on six previous referendums.
citizens like the tax-free checkout line and lower prices for new cars and big-ficket items. They are expected to defeat the tax measure as they have in six previous elections in the past 52 years.
In 126 years of statehood, Oregonians have never paid a sales tax. But to finance state and local government, residents of the Beaver State pay the third highest income tax and the eighth highest property tax in the country.
"I believe the sales tax will lose, but it will be close enough that it will not drift back into ... political limbo," said Gary Wilhelms, lobbyist for Pacific Northwest Bell, which has so far contributed $100,000 to finance a campaign for the tax.
The new tax would cost voters $921 million a year. But in return, they would receive a 35 percent statewide average reduction in property taxes and a 10 percent drop in income taxes.
United Press International
Republican Gov. Vic Atiyeh and other Oregon business and political leaders hope they have sweetened the pot enough this time and voters tomorrow will approve a constitutional amendment to create a 5 percent tax on oil exports of reduction in property and state income taxes.
In 1969, the last time Oregon citizens voted on such a levy, the draft amendment received only 11 percent of the vote. Over the years, the issue was politically taboo.
Almost $700 million would go directly to schools and to lowering local property taxes; $123 million would be used to lower the state income tax.
Women wait longer to wed
Polls, however, show the state's
Census report released
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Women are waiting longer than ever to get married and the number of couples living together has tripled since 1970, the Census Bureau said yesterday in a new report on marital and living arrangements.
married was 23 — the highest level since 1890 when such statistics were first available. For men, the median age is 25.4, "nearing the high estimated for the turn of the century," the bureau said.
groups has approximately doubled since 1970 and the proportion of men and women in their early 20s who have never married has risen by about 20 percentage points — from 36 to 57 percent for women and from 55 to 75 percent for men.
The marriage age for women began a longterm decline in 1880, according to the Census Bureau, reaching a low of 20.1 years in 1956. In the early 1960s, the median age began to increase slowly and in the eight years after 1976 jumped by 1.7 years for women.
The study, an updated and refined version of one originally published in August 1984, also said the proportion of men and women in their late twenties and early thirties who have never married has approximately doubled since 1970; the divorce ratio — the ratio of divorced people to married people — has tripled since 1960 and the number of children living with one parent has increased by nearly 6 million since 1970.
"The trend toward the postmenopment of marriage also is apparent in the sizable increases that have occurred in the proportion of men and women under 35 years old who have never married." The Census said.
At the same time, the Census Bureau said the number of unmarried couples living together had been growing by an average of 107,000 a year since 1970. In March 1984, the number of unmarried couple households reached 1,988,000.
In 1984, the Census said, the median age for a woman to get
About 70 percent of those households had no children and the Census Bureau noted that it asked no questions about the nature of the relationship so "the situations may range from cohabitation prior to or instead of marriage to situations without cohabitation"
It said the proportion of people never married in the 25 to 34 age
