"Well, all right!" the 94-year-old riot survivor said Friday. "I did~ . n't think anything was going to happen! How long has it been? ... What, 79 years!" ·· After two years of meetings, the Tulsa Race Riot Commission recommenped Friday that direct payments be made to sutvivors and descendants of riot victims. . The 11-member panel also called for a memorial to the dead, scholarships and a tax checkoff program to fund economic development in the Green~ood district, where the 1921 rampage by a white Tulsa mob killed as many as 300 people, most of them black. Fair shake I. I t r Tobacco .settlement money .should help producers ·A' griculture has take.n a lot of economic hits of late, a11d one particular crop that flourishes in southern Ohio ' tobacco - has really taken it on ~he chin. · · While· we are all aware of the health issues surrounding tobacco usage, another factor to consider is tobacco is a crop that's sustained many growers and their families for generations. And as usage declines and · tobacco . companies raise prices to meet the cost of a legal settlement with several states, including Ohio and West Virginia, : thought turns to the needs of tobacco producers who every year face a tighter market for their crop. • ; To that end, some of the millions Ohio will receive annualty as part of the settlement should be used to help producers · :ind their various support agencies, such as Ohio State University Extension Service, find ways to w~ather the latest crisis. ; That input and concern has been sub.mitted to lawmakers . . Tobacco farmers' ,need becomes more apparent as the U.S. Agriculture Department has announced a 45 percent reduction in the burley quota for producers, particularly in our region, \vhere burley is big. ,: Some producers are actually desirous of getting out oftobaci:o raising and directing their land use to other crops. But when .iobacco has helped finance the farm operation for years, it's no ·:easy task fqr producers to shift their focus into another area. For .ihose who have diversified their crop, tobacco still commands' :ihe better price at market. :- There are enough risks in agriculture. faced by those who ;maintain the family farm. They don't need another one, espe:cially to the crop that's been their livelihood. ~ fiere and around the country, we don't need more reasons· for ;people to abandon farming. If our economic strength relies just :.as much on the small, independent businessman as it does on :.c orporate giants, that segment of the workforce needs to be ;,.ddressed more fully.

(AP) -· Two noises about 10 minutes apart, and louci enough to be heard in the cockpit, could hold the key to why Alaska Airlines Flight 261 suddenly spun out of control and ccashed into the Pacific. Investigators aren't speculating about the noises , heard on the plane's cockpit voice recorder. But an aviation safety expert not connected to the probe said they are consistent with a deteriorating problem in the plane's tail, where pilots had reported a a problem with the stabilizer - the wide part of the tail that keeps the plarie level. "It sounds like something failed in the tail, and it certainly would account for a jammed stabilizer," William Waldock, associate director for t~e Center for Aerospace Safety Education .at Embry-Rid· dle Aeronauti~al University, said Friday.

WEEDY'S VIEW: Voting still crucial to preservation qffreedom "How are we ~upposed to judge these candidates when all they talk about is issues?" So reads the caption of the Cincinnati Enquirer cartoon. While it is meant to be funny, this is tile honest reaction of'more folks than we care to admit. Just how are citizens expected "ro judge the candidates"? According to the way our b'Overnment is set up,"ofthe people, by the people,.and for the people," evaluating candidates is the job of citizens. That this was a· new concept of freedom, and with an \)ncertain future, is undoubt- · edly true even today. Compared to the early days of limited communication, the ta.'k seems harder today than \))en. In those formative years there was considerable involvement of the people in providing a government that was committed to providing basic rights for citjzens without controlling their lives. Just the opposite is the trend today, where the provision of government services to them is of primary importance. · John F. Kennedy, as he Was being inaub'llrated president, ~aw this contrm when he addressed all American~. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country." · He .saw the strength of the country, and what . citizens can do to support that strength, was a higher priority.

With this being the same agenda of one party, the other party is only able to slow down the · process a little. It is still human nature that once o you get your hand into the pot you never want to take it out. We should observe that those writers, broad..:a,ters, editors and owners in the media support their party on election day by a 9-to-1 ratio. That's according to their own word. Not only does this present major problems for those citizens who want to know how to judge the candidates, it has elso turned off' a huge percentage of the electorate.

I t r Tobacco .settlement money .should help producers ·A' griculture has take.n a lot of economic hits of late, a11d one particular crop that flourishes in southern Ohio ' tobacco - has really taken it on ~he chin. · · While· we are all aware of the health issues surrounding tobacco usage, another factor to consider is tobacco is a crop that's sustained many growers and their families for generations. And as usage declines and · tobacco . companies raise prices to meet the cost of a legal settlement with several states, including Ohio and West Virginia, : thought turns to the needs of tobacco producers who every year face a tighter market for their crop. • ; To that end, some of the millions Ohio will receive annualty as part of the settlement should be used to help producers · :ind their various support agencies, such as Ohio State University Extension Service, find ways to w~ather the latest crisis. ; That input and concern has been sub.mitted to lawmakers . . Tobacco farmers' ,need becomes more apparent as the U.S. Agriculture Department has announced a 45 percent reduction in the burley quota for producers, particularly in our region, \vhere burley is big. ,: Some producers are actually desirous of getting out oftobaci:o raising and directing their land use to other crops. But when .iobacco has helped finance the farm operation for years, it's no ·:easy task fqr producers to shift their focus into another area. For .ihose who have diversified their crop, tobacco still commands' :ihe better price at market. :- There are enough risks in agriculture. faced by those who ;maintain the family farm. They don't need another one, espe:cially to the crop that's been their livelihood. ~ fiere and around the country, we don't need more reasons· for ;people to abandon farming. If our economic strength relies just :.as much on the small, independent businessman as it does on :.c orporate giants, that segment of the workforce needs to be ;,.ddressed more fully.

'I ' s last budget eyes his legacy PORT HUENEME; Calif. (AP) -· Two noises about 10 minutes apart, and louci enough to be heard in the cockpit, could hold the key to why Alaska Airlines Flight 261 suddenly spun out of control and ccashed into the Pacific. Investigators aren't speculating about the noises , heard on the plane's cockpit voice recorder. But an aviation safety expert not connected to the probe said they are consistent with a deteriorating problem in the plane's tail, where pilots had reported a a problem with the stabilizer - the wide part of the tail that keeps the plarie level. "It sounds like something failed in the tail, and it certainly would account for a jammed stabilizer," William Waldock, associate director for t~e Center for Aerospace Safety Education .at Embry-Rid· dle Aeronauti~al University, said Friday.

WEEDY'S VIEW: Voting still crucial to preservation qffreedom "How are we ~upposed to judge these candidates when all they talk about is issues?" So reads the caption of the Cincinnati Enquirer cartoon. While it is meant to be funny, this is tile honest reaction of'more folks than we care to admit. Just how are citizens expected "ro judge the candidates"? According to the way our b'Overnment is set up,"ofthe people, by the people,.and for the people," evaluating candidates is the job of citizens. That this was a· new concept of freedom, and with an \)ncertain future, is undoubt- · edly true even today. Compared to the early days of limited communication, the ta.'k seems harder today than \))en. In those formative years there was considerable involvement of the people in providing a government that was committed to providing basic rights for citjzens without controlling their lives. Just the opposite is the trend today, where the provision of government services to them is of primary importance. · John F. Kennedy, as he Was being inaub'llrated president, ~aw this contrm when he addressed all American~. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country." · He .saw the strength of the country, and what . citizens can do to support that strength, was a higher priority.

So with the greater communication .ability today, the me~sage favored by media mOb'llls is the only message most get to hear. Their agenda of big government and promotion of that message of pro111ises of ~reater distributions The implications for the future are momentous. Court activism, making law rather than evaluating laws made by Congress, will get even \.iorse if we elect a president with this philoso- . phy.

Robert Weedy Converting education to hufnan resources GUEST COLUMNIST from the Treasury always gets the boost. With this being the same agenda of one party, the other party is only able to slow down the · process a little. It is still human nature that once o you get your hand into the pot you never want to take it out. We should observe that those writers, broad..:a,ters, editors and owners in the media support their party on election day by a 9-to-1 ratio. That's according to their own word. Not only does this present major problems for those citizens who want to know how to judge the candidates, it has elso turned off' a huge percentage of the electorate. When le~• . than half of eligible voters elect a president, the . people with their self-centered agenda are wine ning and the country i~ losing.

Congress represent< the people from each state and district and is the only branch given the task of making law by the Constitution: We must insist this arrangement be honored by the other branches. Voting for a candidate who will subvert our country's best interest is unthinkable.

The official Middle East News Agenc}' carried an EgyptAir state. ment Friday quoting the airline's chairman, Mohammed Fahim Rayan, as saying pilot Hamdi Hanafi Taha, 49, had asked for asylum. Rayan said Taha claimed to have information on the ()cr. 31 crash ofFlight 990 that killed all217 people aboard, the report said. The plane went down in the ocean 40 .minutes into a flight from 'New York to Cairo; .. But the statement said Taha "does not have any connection to or knowledge about the cause of the plane crash." . A team of American and Egyptian investigators has yet to release .any official findings on the cause. Some U.S. sources have said the · U,S.

Tlie group's statement appeared to rule out even a token act of disarmament·before Friday, when the British govermnerit has pledged to withdraw powers from the 12member Cabinet in Belfast. In a statement to RTE, lr~land's state · broadcasters, the . outlawed group said arguments over when, if eyer, the IRA should disarm "can be resoived." But, it stre,;sed, "this will not be on British or unionist terms nor will it be advanced British legislative threatS." Good l'riday accord pledged that all parties would make their best efforts to achieve disarmament by May, but the IRA was not a party to the accord - Sinn Fein was. "The IRA has 1iever entered into any agreement, undertaking or understanding at any time with any one on any aspect ofaecommissioning. We have nor broken our commitment or betrayed anyone," it said. "Those who have once again made the political process conditional on the deco mmissi oning of silent IRA arms are responsible for creating the current difficulties and · keeping the .political process in a .state of perpetual crisis;' the grou p ·said, concluding: "The peace process is under no threat from die IRA." • ' ·c.

"The Supreme Court ruled today in an historic decision that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. Speaking for a unanimous court, Chief Justice Earl Warren said education must be available to. all on an equal basis. The decision, a sweeping victory for Negroes, is probably the most important in U.S. race relations since the famous Dred Scott decision of1857, which held that a Negro was not a citizen. The Civil War reversed that ' decision. Warren said because of the wide · ramifications of the decision, fqrmulation •. of specific decrees will be delayed· until . further arguments have been heard. The . : momentous ruling invaljdates many pro. visions of state constitutions, laws and administrative regulations in the 17 states .which now require segregation." The Supreme Court ruling in the case of Brown vs. The Board of Education swept aside the "separate bu1 equal doctrine" argued by the court since the 1896 ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson.

"The Supreme Court ruled today in an historic decision that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. Speaking for a unanimous court, Chief Justice Earl Warren said education must be available to. all on an equal basis. The decision, a sweeping victory for Negroes, is probably the most important in U.S. race relations since the famous Dred Scott decision of1857, which held that a Negro was not a citizen. The Civil War reversed that ' decision. Warren said because of the wide · ramifications of the decision, fqrmulation •. of specific decrees will be delayed· until . further arguments have been heard. The . : momentous ruling invaljdates many pro. visions of state constitutions, laws and administrative regulations in the 17 states .which now require segregation." The Supreme Court ruling in the case of Brown vs. The Board of Education swept aside the "separate bu1 equal doctrine" argued by the court since the 1896 ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson. The 1954 Supreme Court stated that the 1896 Supreme Court decision violated the equal protection clause of the 14th · amendment.

When Faubus refused to meet with President Eisenhower, the latter said· he had no choice but to call out the National Guard to insure the safery of black students attending previously all white schools. Of course many southern states openly did all they could to skirt the Supren1e Court ruling for the next 14 years. A Southern · Manifesto, signed by 92 southern members of Congress, announced the south would ignore the court decision. MoSt southern governors organized special legal committees to advise the state on ways to subvert the Supreme Court ruling.

Once that is settled, the risk management aspects can be addressed (i.e., what if you die before junior goes off to college') Next, consider your investment alternatives; zero coupon bonds (taXable and non-taxable), municipal bond mutlal fupds , growth stocks, or whatever suits your style and risk profile.

In one experiment, staff members volunteered to breathe radioact'ive gas to see how quickly uranium was excreted in their urine, according to the report. In other tests, a senior staffer a drank a solution containing uranium, and at least 14 workers tested the effectiveness of respirators against radioactive dust, gas and smoke, according . to ihe report. . A copy of the report was obtained by The Courier-Journal. Although the general dangers of radia~ion Were known at · the time of the experiments, its' interactions with the human body were not entirely understood.
