Friendly talks end seriously WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush and congressional leaders used friendly get-acquain-ted sessions with Japan’s new prime minister to press his government to do more to relieve the pressures a SSO billion trade deficit places on the United States. “WE KNOW THAT the health of our relationship partly depends on bringing our economic relationship into better balance,” said Bush, who interrupted his Maine vacation Friday to meet with Toshiki Kaifu for nearly three hours at the White House. At a South Law. ceremony, Kaifu said Japan recognized that trade imbalances were a cause of friction and said his country would continue to “make efforts for expanding imports.” At the same time, Kaifu said the United States must do more to reduce its budget deficit, increase the rate of savings by Americans and make U.S. industries more competitive. BUSH POINTEDLY told Kaifu, in office less than a month, that he shared his belief “that while Japan is noted as an exporting superpower, the time has also come for Japan to be an importing superpower.” KAIFU EMPLOYED a softer tone at the White House, declaring that his country wants to remain a close U.S. ally.

Bakker strip-searched, she says Husband humiliated by being taken to prison, Tammy says

BUTNER, N.C. (AP) Tammy Faye Bakker says she can’t understand why the government imprisoned and humiliated her TV evangelist husband, whose psychiatric episode she blames on an allergic reaction to medicine. “They strip-searched him in front of a room full of men and threw him in a jail cell,” Mrs. Bakker said after a six-hour meeting with her husband, PTL founder Jim Bakker, Friday night. “Jim said it was the most humiliating thing he had ever been through.” U.S. District Judge Robert Potter ordered Bakker to the Federal Correctional Institution at Butner for psychiatric evaluation after the evangelist broke down Thursday in the fourth day of his fraud and conspiracy trir' in Charlotte. THE JLDGE HEARD Bakker’s psychiatrist, Dr. Basil Jackson, testify that Bakker hallucinated when he left the courthouse Wednesday after a witness fainted. Jackson said he prescribed the anti-depressant sedative Xanax for Bakker but his condition worsened until Thursday morning he curled up in a fetal position in his attorney’s office with his head under a couch. “There is no reason at all for Jim to be in prison,” Mrs. Bakker said. Speaking of the medication she said: “He just literally had more than he could handle. I think Judge Potter is being very unfair.” However, The Charlotte Observer today quoted Jackson as saying the amount of medication Bakker had been given “was infinitesimal because I recognized his concern about overreaction.” ACCORDING TO THE “Physicians’ Desk Reference,” rare side effects of Xanax, which is similar to Valium, include hallucinations, agitation and other behavioral effects. Mrs. Bakker said her husband is “very allergic to all medication.” She said, “He doesn’t even take aspirin.”

She said her husband looked much more composed than he had Thursday when he sobbed on his way to prison. Mrs. Bakker, a gospel singer who has co-starred with Bakker on their talk-show style religious TV programs, said Bakker did not fake his attack as skeptics have suggested. “IF YOU HAD SEEN Mr. Bakker, you would know he doesn’t perform. He’s just Jim, not a performer,” she said. Mrs. Bakker traveled from her home in Orlando, Fla., to visit her husband. She said she would be visiting him daily and hoped he would be able to resume his trial next week. When Potter dismissed jurors Thursday without telling them why the judge said they would not be needed for a week. Government psychiatrists began evaluating Bakker on Friday, said prison spokesman Sharon Orr. She would not characterize his mental stale or actions. “Normally, an evaluation takes 30 to 45 days, but it has not been determined at this time how long this particular evaluation will take,” she said. MRS. ORR SAID BAKKER has the option of wearing the standard orange prison jumpsuit or street clothes. He also is free to roam the grounds of the 700-acre prison, which houses about 800 inmates. Mrs. Bakker said her husband described his room as having bars on the window. He told her that his meals are pushed through a window in the door and he has to wear handcuffs every time he comes out of his room, she said. Bakker, accused of using nearly $4 million in ministry funds to finance a lavish lifestyle, has previously acknowledged suffering a nervous breakdown 20 years ago and considering suicide during a 1981 separation from his wife. Former PTL workers say Bakker was given to frequent attacks of anger or depression.

Republicans oppose lottery director’s bonus

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Gov. Evan Bayh has rejected Republican legislators’ request to block a SIO,OOO bonus that will be paid to Indiana’s lottery director if the game sells its first ticket by Nov. 15. GOP lawmakers contended on Friday that Director Jack F. Crawford already is well-paid at SBO,OOO per year, that there’s no proof the lottery is being run well and that the bonus sends the wrong message about the state’s priorities. HOWEVER, BAYH, who appointed Crawford to the new position, said through a spokesman he wouldn’t block the bonus, noting that it was permitted under the state’s new lottery law and had

been endorsed unanimously by the bipartisan Indiana Lottery Commission. The commission voted on Monday to recommend the bonus if the lottery is selling tickets by midNovember, six weeks before a Jan. 1, 1990, deadline established in the lottery law approved this year. Crawford predicts the lottery will sell its first instant winner ticket by Nov. 1. ON FRIDAY AT A meeting in Bloomington, the State Budget Committee voted along party lines to permit the bonus to be paid. Sen. Morris H. Mills, R-In-dianapolis, and Rep. Patrick J. Kiely, R-Anderson, objected to the bonus. They tried to have the issue

When your car feels like an oven, stay cool with Dr. Tan

WASHINGTON (AP) When you climb into your sunbaked car in the shopping mall parking lot and crumple behind the wheel, gasping in a Saharan inferno, it’s time for a few squirts from Dr. Domingo Tan’s handy air conditioner in a can. Tan, a Chinese-born physicist who lives in suburban Alexandria, Va., invented Instant Car Kooler, an aerosol spray containing 10 percent ethyl alcohol and 90 percent water mixed with a mint fragrance. Those cardboard windshield “sunglasses” are no competition, Tan says. TO DEMONSTRATE, he opened the door of his aging Dodge sedan, which had been parked in the sweltering sun for a couple of hours with a cardboard sunshade in place. A large circular thermometer dangling over the front seat registered 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Tan leaned into the car and pointed his can of Instant Car Kooler. “Psst-psst-psst.” Within half a minute, the thermometer had plunged 42 degrees to a more bearable 80 degrees. He said the sunshade alone reduces heat by only 10 degrees to 15 degrees. Tan, 57, began working on his invention about 10 years ago, when his young son complained frequently about the suffocating heat in the family car.

Judge blames Delta crew in ’BS crash that killed 137

FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) Delta Air Lines officials say they will appeal a ruling that faults the flight crew for a 1985 plane crash that killed 137 people, including the three-member cockpit crew. U.S. DISTRICT Judge David O. Belew Friday blamed the crew of Delta Flight 191 for the crash at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, although he acknowledged 'hat air traffic controllers failed to <vam the crew of the severity of weather conditions. The airline said the ruling was in

considered on its own, rather than with the rest of the spending items on the budget panel’s agenda. However, their motion failed on a 3-2 vote with Democrats opposing the motion. Kiely said later he’s not adamantly opposed to a bonus, but he believes authorizing one at this time is premature. He said he would consider a bonus only after studying how much the lottery had spent to get into operation by the deadline. “WE ARE PAYING Crawford quite well,” said Kiely. “I don’t think the Nov. 15 deadline justifies a bonus without any cost factors being part of the goal.” Later Friday, House Republican

Frankfort boy, 7, survives trip through storm sewers

FRANKFORT, Ind. (AP) A seven-year-old boy was swept into a rain-swollen Franklin sewer Friday, but he survived after being carried one-quarter mile beneath underneath city streets, police said. JASON GEPHAT AND several friends were playing at a city park in high waler created by Friday’s torrential rains when he slipped through a sewer opening. Police Ll Joe Mink said two scuba divers attempted to locate the

“FROM PHYSICS, I know that water absorbs plenty of heat. It is a good medium for moderating temperatures,” Tan said. “I also thought that when it gets so hot, we pray for rain, and after it rains we know that the temperature drops.” Tan got his idea. “It’s like making rain inside the car, but the difference is that we don’t make the whole car wet Instead of rain there are drops of spray so fine that they vaporize right away,” he said. He also observed a baby’s fever is reduced when its body is rubbed with water mixed with alcohol. So Tan added ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, to the car spray to make the water vaporize faster and reduce the air temperature even further. Tan received a patent for Instant Car Kooler in April, and began marketing the 16-ounce spray cans in mid-August. The retail price is $3.50 each. IN LESS THAN three weeks, Tan and his two business partners have received orders for more than 25,000 cans from prospective distributors from New York to Texas, and as far away as Austria and Switzerland. One exporter wants to ship Instant Car Kooler to the Middle East, where Tan says the heat inside automobiles can soar to 165 degrees or more.

conflict with a recent jury verdict in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., that held Della blameless in the accident THE AIRLINE HAD sought to make the government pay all or part of the millions of dollars in claims arising from the crash. “The crew has seen lightning, identified a thunderstorm and has encountered a performance increase (in air speed),” Belew said. “There was no explanation for continuing at this point. Every clue the crew had received was worse than the previous one.”

Speaker Pro Tern Jeffrey K. Espich of Uniondale wrote a letter to Bayh urging him to block the bonus. “The performance of the lottery to date is not exceptional, and in fact, many would say its beginnings have been rather sluggish,” Espich wrote. He noted that Kentucky had a lottery up and running 109 days after its lottery bill passed the legislature. If Indiana had met that timetable, the Hoosier lottery would have started last Sunday, said Espich. Lottery commission members said Monday they’re happy with Crawford’s performance to date.
