People in the news Enquirer to aid Belushi probe LANTANA, Fla. IAP) The editor of the National Enquirer says the tabloid will provide Los Angeles police officers investigating the death of comedian John Belushi with tapes and transcripts of an interview with the woman who last saw Belushi alive. The Lantana-based paper announced Monday that it would give detectives the tapes in response to an attorney’s claim that the woman, Cathy Evelyn Smith, was misrepresented in an Enquirer story titled: ‘‘l Killed John Belushi.” The investigation into Belushi’s death was re-opened last week after detectives saw the story, in which Ms. Smith was quoted as saying she gave Belushi an injection of illegal drugs the morning he died of an overdose. Detective Addison Arce of the Hollywood Division of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the tapes were being turned over. “I can tell you the tapes will be turned over to me and the investigation is continuing,” he said. Enquirer editor lain Calder said the publication decided to “make available” the materials “only in response to statements made by Toronto attorney for Miss Smith in which he claimed that key portions of the Enquirer story were misleading." Toronto attorney Brian Greenspan said Ms. Smith, who was paid $15,000 by the Enquirer for her interview, planned to bring a libel suit against the tabloid because of alleged misrepresentation. Greenspan said that during the interviews with the newspaper, Ms. Smith was under the influence of alcohol supplied by her interviewers and was further impaired by drug consumption. “I don’t know if they (reporters) bought her a drink or not, but they did not ply her with liquor,” said Calder. “The Enquirer invested some 5,000 man-hours of work looking into Belushi’s death. As soon as we learned Cathy Smith was the ‘mystery woman’ with the comedian just before he died on March 5, we began negotiating with our Los Angeles attorney for an exclusive interview with her. Our negotiations with her attorney broke down after three weeks, but our reporters continued to hunt for her. “In May, a Los Angeles free-lance writer contacted us and said he had a taped interview with Miss Smith which we might find interesting. We found his tapes intriguing, but felt we needed more for a story. We learned Miss Smith was in Toronto, so we flew two staff reporters there to find her.” Calder said the reporters located Ms. Smith and interviewed her for up to 19 hours a day over a 10-day period. “On tape, Miss Smith admitted that in the hours before Belushi's death, she supplied Belushi with heroin that was used to mix cocaine and heroin ‘speedballs’ with which he was injected ... She injected him with drugs at various times,” Calder said. • INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A strike by stage workers at the Indianapolis Sports Center has caused postponement of a scheduled concert by singer Jimmy Buffet. A spokesman for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees said the strike Tuesday resulted from the center management’s refusal to acknowledge the union. The union struck Sunshine Promotions which is handling a summer concert series at the sports facility. “The whole thing could have been avoided if the sports center had acted in good faith,” said William E. Gearns, union business agent. “We’ve worked shows at the center in the past and the management led us to believe they were going to recognize the union. Last week, we were told management would not sign a union contract. We then asked Sunshine Promtions to sign a contract, and they also refused.” The Buffet concert was rescheduled for July 13 and advance sale tickets will be honored, he said adding that about 6,500 people were expected to attend Tuesday’s performance

LAURENCE OLIVIER: Gets Lear role

LONDON (AP) Lord Laurence Olivier will portray “King Lear” for the first time in 36 years, taking the part of the tragic hero who is betrayed by two of his daughters in a new British television production of the Shakespearian play. The 75-year-old actor, who last played the part at London’s Old Vic Theater in 1946, will produce the play on Britain’s ITV network, rival to the publicly funded British Broadcasting Corp, In “King Lear,” actress Faye Dunaway will take the part of Regan. Also in the cast are John Hurt as the fool, Leo McKern as Gloucester, Colin Blakeley as Kent, Dorothy Tutin as Goneril and Anna Calder-Marshall as Cordelia. • ST. LOUIS (AP) As thousands of fans awaited his arrival, rock star Elton John was spirited onto the grounds of the annual Veiled Prophet Fair disguised as a policemen. “He came out of his hotel and walked through the crowd and nobody said a word,” said police Lt. Col. James Hackett, who dreamed up the plan for John’s Monday appearance. The British entertainer arrived in a police car while two limousines pulled onto the fairgrounds at the same time, apparently heralding his arrival. By the time the two-hour concert started, the performer had shed his law-and-order garb for a black matador outfit with gold sequin trim, a gold belt and a pink sash. Few of the 500,000 people who gathered on the St. Louis riverfront seemed to mind the deception. • NAMPA, Idaho (AP) Just because you live in Washington, D.C., it doesn’t mean you have to hang up your boots. Just ask President Reagan and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige. Everyone knows of the president’s riding prowess, but fewer people are familiar with Baldrige’s cowboy background. The 12-year veteran of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association has agreed to compete in the team roping event at Nampa’s Snake River Stampede, July 13-17, a rodeo spokesman said Tuesday. • NEW YORK (AP) less than a year, a big-hearted New York City policeman has opened his home to someone in need. Last October, police officer William Fox talked a 17-year-old boy out of a suicide leap, then cared for him until Easter when the youth and his mother were reunited. Over the weekend, Fox took in Victor Harper, 58-year-old British tourist who had lost his last SSOO to a pickpocket. “If it hadn’t been for Mr. Fox, I would have spent Fourth of July at the Men’s Shelter on the Bowery,” Harper said.
