On the campaign trail Quayle’s lane is clear to generate enthusiasm and funds

By WALTER R. MEARS AP Special Correspondent BOSTON (AP) Cruising toward town on a highway cleared for his motorcade, Vice President Dan Quayle broadcast a rush-hour traffic report: “My lane’s clear.” It was, of course, but there are potholes along his political route to rival the traffic jams that piled up at all the turnpike entrances. Quayle is trying to steer around them as he campaigns for Republicans in the off-year elections a week away. He did his ton-gue-in-cheek traffic item on a radio call-in program, using his limousine telephone to keep campaigning between stops. WHEN HE GOES home to Indiana to vote and to take in an election-eve pro football game in Indianapolis Quayle will have covered at least 44 of the 50 states. He will have appeared at about 120 fundraising affairs that drew more than sl6 millicm campaign dollars. He’ll have an address book full of GOP contacts and some political chits that prove important to him in 1992. And he’ll still be laboring to dispel the negative image and adverse poll ratings that have plagued him since President Bush put him on the 1988 ticket and the national stage. “THE ONLY THING I can tell jou ... is that we’re doing the job,”

Vice President Dan Quayle (center), says he loves his job and has been well received and well treated on a 44-state

the vice presittent said when the image issue was raised. “Been doing the job now for, well, 18, 19 months. I’ve been campaigning now in this election cycle in 44 different states, and I feel that I’ve been very well received, been very well treated. “I love the job,” Quayle said. Bush already has said that Quayle will be his running mate again in 1992. But there will inevitably be pressure for a ticket change, especially if Bush and his ticket look vulnerable heading into the next presidential campaign. THAT’S A REPUBLICAN habit, in varied circumstances There was mid-administration pressure against Bush’s own vice presidential renomination, Spiro T. Agnew’s in 1972, Richard M.

Nixon’s in 1956. Gerald R. Ford switched running mates, from Nelson A. Rockefeller to Sen. Robert Dole, in his losing 1976 bid to win the White House he held by appointment. So when Quayle wheeled into a vegetable stand in Lexington, Mass., last week to appear amid the pumpkins with the Republican candidate for governor, he was asked whether he was campaigning to hold his own place on the ticket, two years hence. “I’m campaigning for Bill Weld,” he retorted. NEVERTELESS, the long, intensive campaign he has waged fits the personal political agenda too, cementing his party ties with Republicans seeking everything from Senate scats to low-profile

state offices. It puts him on campaign display without the gaffes that made him the butt of late-night television comedy. There have been slips, but not many, and not major. His campaign delivery is smoother, more relaxed, than two years ago. It is the predictable set speech of a vice president, hailing the chief, denouncing the Democrats for tax increases even though Bush endorsed them. The crowds react just as predictably, applauding at appropriate points. BUT THE VOLUME goes up when Quayle tackles Congress. “The House of Representatives has been controlled by the Democrats since I was seven years old,” says Quayle, 43. Pause for effect Murmurs, then laughter, rippled through the crowd at the courthouse in suburban Philadelphia. “I tell you, there’s an idea that is sweeping this country and that is the idea that it is time to limit the terms,” he says, voice rising over the cheers. It plays as well at every stop. ADN IT CERTAINLY plays better than his repeated defense of White House acquiescence to tax increases. Quayle is said to have urged privately that budget negotiations be scrapped earlier this month in favor of a head-on challenge to Congress. He won’t discuss his advice to Bush. He says the decision was a close call politically, but without a budget deal there could have been chaos. Now he tells the campaign crowds that the Democrats are responsible for tax increases, assures the voters that the rich will foot most of the bill, insists that millionaires will be taxed more efficiently and surely than would have been the case with a simple surtax. “WE HAVE SEEN people say that it’s going to be disastrous for the Republican Party, but I don’t believe that,” Quayle said on the Boston radio talk show. He said the voters should take out their frustration on incumbents, meaning Democrats, giving them “the hook and the heave-ho from the Congress and elsewhere,” he said. “It’s time for a change, the American people want a change.” CAN DO THREE things for candidates raise money, raise the profile of individuals, and I can energize the troops. But as far as getting people to vote for or against candidates, they have to present themselves to the voters.” Still, Quayle wasn’t denying GOP pain over the budget battle. “You know how this thing goes in cycles,” he said, flying back to Washington, “up one week, down the next. We’ve had a couple rough weeks...

Jury to recommend if Salcido should die

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) The jury that convicted Ramon Salcido of murdering his wife, two daughters, boss and three others returns next week to decide whether the former winery worker should die in the gas chamber. Salcido, 29, was found guilty Tuesday in an April 14, 1989 rampage in which he criss-cros-sed the Sonoma Valley in California wine country, stabbing and shooting ‘'is victims. He slit his daughters’ throats and left them to die at a dump. THE SENTENCING stage begins Tuesday. The jury, which reached its verdict on its fourth day of deliberations, can recommend death or life in prison without parole. “What this means for the families is perhaps one chapter of this horrible nightmare will be laid to rest,” Prosecutor Peter Bumerts said after the verdict. “We knew he was going to die in prison, one way or another,” said defense attorney Marteen Miller. ALTHOUGH SALCIDO confessed in a taped statement that was the prosecution’s key evidence, his lawyers tried to save his life by portraying him as suicidal and mentally ill. They argued he suffered from a psychotic depression that was aggravated by an alcohol and cocaine binge in the hours before the rampage. The prosecution scoffed at the notion Salcido was suicidal, saying the killer demonstrated his methodical ways when he stepped over dead bodies to bandage his finger, which he cut while stabbing a victim to death. He was convicted of six counts of first-degree murder, one of second-degree murder and other offenses. A FIRST-DEGREE murder conviction requires proof of premeditation; defense attorneys had urged jurors to opt for second-degree murder or manslaughter.

According to testimony, Salcido began his murderous frenzy after a night of bar-hopping and cocaine-snorting. When he arrived home around 5 a.m., he was furious that his wife was gone. He grabbed the couple’s three young girls and drove to the county dump, where he slashed each child’s throat and left them to die. One of them, Carmina, then 2, survived, telling investigators, “Daddy cut me.” SALCIDO’S NEXT stopped at his mother-in-law’s home, fatally slabbing Marian Richards and two of her daughters. When he returned home, Salcido fatally shot his wife, Angela, and headed for the Grand Cru Winery, where he killed his boss, Tracey Toovey. Salcido also went to the home of his co-worker, Ken Butti, and shot Butti and tried to shoot his wife, Terri, before fleeing. Butti recovered from the wound. Salcido was arrested four days later in his native Mexico. He told investigators he was mad that his wife had hidden that their first child was fathered by another man. The trial was moved to San Mateo County because of publicity in Sonoma County.

accident. Coast Guard and civilian boats searched overnight for two other victims, and Coast Guard helicopters that took part in the search before dark were to return this morning. The sixth man was listed in serious condition. The fire was extinguished within four hours, said Lt j.g. Carl Edmiston. The cause of the blast was not immediately known.
