More Quayle troubles

Campaign manager took Noriega payments

By the Associated Press Democrat Michael Dukakis says George Bush flunked his entrance examination to become the “education president,” while the vice president invoked the name of Teddy Roosevelt to court environmentalist voters and blamed Dukakis for befouling beaches. Both presidential candidates took advantage of the timely concerns the opening of school and a summer haunted by the specter of waste-strewn shorelines to go after voters before the official Labor Day opening of the campaign season. “WHILE THEY’VE invested billions in Star Wars, we’ve developed a regional network of star schools,” Dukakis said Thursday in California while contrasting his achievements as Massachusetts governor with the inaction of the Reagan administration. “Where was the man who now says he wants to be the ‘education president’?” Dukakis said in Oakland. “He was playing hooky. He was nowhere to be found.” He charged the Reagan administration has eliminated remedial math and reading programs for 500,000 poor children, cut teacher retraining, and “led an assault on college loans and grants.” HE SAID THAT in Massachusetts he had quadrupled scholarship assistance to low -and middle-income students and invested in Professional Development Centers to help teachers update their skills. The Reagan administration sought cuts in the remedial

programs in 1981 but was unsuccessful. In an April 1988 report, the Education Department said the number of children in remedial programs had dropped from 5 million in 1979-80 to 4.5 million in the 1985-86 school year. Dukakis was planning to continue that emphasis during appearances today in Portland, Ore., and Spokane, Wash. BUSH, AFTER A rally Thursday into Dukakis’ backyard, where he charged the governor failed to act swiftly against pollution in Boston Harbor, continued his campaign as a “lifelong environmentalist” on the Delaware and New Jersey shores. Dukakis called Bush’s newfound commitment an “election-year conversion.” Bush also criticized Dukakis for promising to end the dumping that has left medical waste cluttering New Jersey beaches, when Dukakis himself as governor asked for federal permission to dump waste off New Jersey. The 1985 Massachusetts request to the EPA was for temporary permission to dump 106 miles offshore where New York and New Jersey were dumping already. A compromise arrangement allowed Massachusetts to dump farther out beyond the continental shelf. SPEAKING IN Norwalk, Conn., Bush called himself a “Teddy Roosevelt Republican” on the environment. Roosevelt was an avid conservationist responsible for setting aside millions of acres of forests and launching irrigation and reclamation projects. Bush’s incursion in Mas-

since 1964,” Bradley said Thursday. BAYH WATCHED approvingly as Bradley echoed the secretary of state’s campaign themes of government frugality, better education and improved health care. Bayh and Bradley spent nearly 90 minutes at the airport rally and fundraiser before leaving for Fort Wayne and a similar appearance before Allen County party faithful. Bradley, who played basketball with the New York Knicks before winning his Senate seat in 1978, compared his high school basketball career in Missouri with the plot of the movie, “Hoosicrs,” in which a smalltown team wins the state championship. “WELL, MY HIGH school experience is exactly like that movie, with one exception,” said Bradley. “We lost in the finals.” Before he raffled an autographed basketball, Bradley recalled the story of a fan who supposedly threatened to kill Bradley’s dog if the Knicks lost again to the Boston Celtics. Bradley wrote the fan that he had no dog, and weeks later a gift dog arrived with a message warning: “Bradley, dop’t get too at-

sachusctts was more than physical. A Boston Herald poll released published Thursday showed he and Dukakis to be neck and neck in Massachusetts. “Fantastic,” Bush said, when given the news. The Herald survey found Dukakis and Bush tied in the state at 42 percent each. DUKAKIS SPOKESMAN Dayton Duncan countered: “We’re very confident Michael Dukakis will carry Massachusetts. We’re also confident he will carry George Bush’s other home states: Maine, Texas, Washington, D.C., and any others he claims.” REPUBLICAN VICE presidential nominee, Sen. Dan Quayle of Indiana, continued his Southern swing today after touring a watch plant in Little Rock, Ark., and watching a high school football practice in Jackson, Miss. Quayle was asked at one point about a forthcoming article in The New Republic which said a public relations firm run by Quayle’s campaign manager, Stuart Spencer, was paid $350,000 in 1984-85 to lobby for Panamanian ruler Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega. Advance copies of the article say the firm lobbied against drug investigations of Noriega and defended him against allegations of killing former president Dr. Hugo Spadafora in September 1985. Quayle said he did not “know about the specifics” of the story. “From my observation, Stuart Spencer is a political pro,” Quayle said. The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. Lloyd Bentscn of Texas, was on vacation.

Mutz, who has served eight years as lieutenant governor to Gov. Robert D. Orr, will meet Bayh for the campaign’s first televised debate Wednesday at the University of Notre Dame.

Inspectors suspect wing flaps in Delta Flight 1141’s crash

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) Investigators arc pointing to possible problems with Delta Flight 1141 ’s engine thrust and wing flaps before it crashed on takeoff, and they hope to get answers from the crew and their recorded cockpit conversations. National Transportation Safety Board investigators said Thursday a flap indicator handle in the wrecked cockpit was found in the wrong position for most takeoffs, raising questions whether the plane’s wing flaps were set properly. INCORRECTLY SET flaps led to the fatal crash of a Northwest Airlines flight last summer. The Delta Air Lines flight’s indicator handle, however, could have been accidently jarred during or after the crash, investigators said. The Boeing 727 got no more than 30 feet off the runway at Dal-las-Fort Worth International Airport before it crashed Wednesday, witnesses told the NTSB. Thirteen people were killed. Pilots in planes waiting on adjacent laxiways told investigators “a white flame or vapor” came from the left engine, said NTSB member Lee Dickinson. A COCKPIT TAPE recording recovered from the burned wreckage revealed that the pilots talked about engine trouble seconds

Four months of hiring ends as unemployment rises to 5.6%

WASHINGTON (AP) The nation’s unemployment rate rose to 5.6 percent in August as four months of hiring booms on factory assembly lines and in retail stores came to an abrupt halt, the government said today. The Labor Department said the number of jobless Americans jumped by 226,000 to 6,851,000 in August while the number of those with jobs rose by only 121,000 to 115,180,000. THE 0.2 PERCENTAGE point increase from July’s civilian jobless rate of 5.4 percent followed a 0.1 percent rise from June’s 14-year low of 5.3 percent. Most of the increased joblessness was suffered by adult men, with their unemployment rate rising 0.4 percentage points to 4.9 percent. The jobless rate among adult women, meanwhile, fell from 5.1 percent to 4.8 percent, the Labor Department said. A separate survey of business

before the crash, he said. Further reviews of the tape and of the flight data recorder were planned today at the NTSB’s Washington laboratory. The Della jetliner crashed as it tried to take off for Salt Lake City with 108 people aboard. Ninetyfive people survived the crash and resulting flames, most by escaping through emergency exits or tornopen areas of the fuselage. Thirtythree remained hospitalized Thursday. Medical examiners said the 13 died from smoke inhalation. Many were trapped when an emergency door wouldn’t open. THE PLANE’S FLIGHT engineer, Steven M. Judd, told investigators that right after the plane took off the crew “began experiencing problems keeping the plane stable and in the air,” the New York Times reports in today’s editions. “Just before the crash, there was some talk of engine problems,” Judd added, according to the Times, which attributed Judd’s statement Wednesday to an anonymous source. Judd and the two other members of the cockpit crew remained hospitalized today. Investigators said they had not recovered sufficiently to undergo full-scale

payrolls which many economists consider a more reliable indicator of the economy’s health showed 219,000 new jobs in August, well below the 400,000 average monthly increase in June and July. The last time the civilian unemployment rate was at 5.6 percent was in May. THE GOODS-PRODUCING side of the economy lost jobs for the first time since last January, with employment in manufacturing dropping by 5,000 after a 70,000 jump in July. The Labor Department said small employment gains in printing and publishing and export-related industries such as machinery and electrical equipment were more than offset by 9,000 job losses in textile and apparel plants and smaller declines in several other manufacturing industries. Employment in oil and gas drilling also declined slightly, but it rose a minuscule 3,000 jobs in construction. ON THE SERVICES side of the economy, large monthly increases in retail trade hiring 80,000 in July alone slowed to just 23,000 new jobs last month, virtually all in grocery stores.

debriefings, but that they hoped to interview First Officer Wilson Kirkland today. CONTROL TOWER personnel said the jet may have taken longer than usual to become airborne and that it may have lifted off at a sharper angle than is considered normal, the investigators said. The flap handle, on the console between the pilot and the first officer, indicates whether the flaps are in the proper position to provide the lift needed for takeoff. Dickinson said the handle was found in the up position, opposite where it should be for most takeoffs. But he said the handle could have been pushed into the wrong position by the impact or during the evacuation of the crew. “It could have been kicked. It could have been moved. It could have been any number of things,” Dickinson said. FLIGHT CREWS OF nearby planes told investigators they had “no clear indication of the flap or slat positions,” he said. The same flight Thursday from Dallas-Fort Worth to Salt Lake City was aborted when the pilot detected a problem with his plane, another Boeing 727. Most of the 102 passengers, including six survivors of the crash Wednesday, left about two hours later on another jet.

Olher recent high-growth job areas also slowed. Business services such as temporary help firms added just 16,000 new workers, compared with average monthly increases of 60,000 through the spring and early summer. New employment in health services, which the government predicts will be the largest area of job growth in the 1990 s as the Baby Boom population ages, slowed to 22,000 in August. It also had been rising an average 30,000 a month in the past year. “THE LABOR MARKET showed less strength in August than earlier in the year,” said Labor Statistics Commissioner Janet L. Norwood. “Looked at over a somewhat longer period, however, the rate has hovered in the 5.3 percent to 5.6 percent range since last March and is 0.4 percentage point below the level a year ago.” Ms. Norwood said one encouraging sign was that the number of people working part-time involuntarily because they could not find full-time jobs “returned to the bottom of the 5.2 million to 5.6 million range within which it has been fluctuating for more than a year.”
