also testified she was upset when she unlocked the apartment for Stamper only to find there wasn’t the emergency Stamper had described to her to get her to open the door. Cartwright sued Stamper for damages, claiming the entry into the apartment constituted trespassing and an illegal search for documents. Stamper contends she entered the apartment to make sure Cartwright was safe. The events at issue in the trial occurred the same weekend lottery Director Jack F. Crawford resigned after he was confronted with Cartwright’s allegation he had sexually harassed her. He denied that but acknowledged he had a 9year extramarital affair with Cartwright. CARTWRIGHT was fired in January 1990 when aides to Gov. Evan Bayh claimed she lied in recounting events to reporters. Cartwright’s suit challenging the firing is pending. Bailey, 29, told U.S. District Court Judge Larry McKinney and a six-member jury his mother was “very frightened and very upset” the morning of Dec. 9 and had instructed her children not to answer the door or look out the windows of the apartment while she was away at a meeting with her attorney. Stamper and Bayh aide Anne Nobles visited early in the day, but Bailey turned them away, saying his mother needed to rest. Later,

Stamper relumed with the apartment manager who unlocked the door before Stamper removed a security chain and entered the apartment, testimony has revealed. AT FIRST, BAILEY said, he lay on the floor of the bathroom and used a mirror to try to look down the hallway to see who had come into the apartment. Then, he angrily confronted Stamper. “I said to get out of the apartment,” said Bailey, who was then a college student. “I was very agitated. I was very frightened.” He said he asked Stamper if she had a search warrant and she said she didn’t need one. She also didn’t have her police identification with her, he said. AFTER 27 minutes, Stamper left after Bailey assured her his mother was all right and would show up at a meeting scheduled later that day with Bayh aides. Brandee Cartwright, 15, said she started crying when she heard the confrontation. “She was arguing with my brother, and I didn’t like that. I didn’t know who she was,” she saidi Henry J. Price, Stamper’s attorney, spent almost an hour challenging Bailey’s story and questioning his credibility. PRICE POINTED out at least six examples where Bailey’s oral testimony differed from statements fie made in a pre-trial deposition. The exchanges were pointed at times, and on one occasion, Price said Bailey must have refreshed his memory in preparation for the trial. Some elements of Bailey’s story were corroborated by the apartment manager, Virginia N. Wilson. Like Bailey, she testified that the frame of the apartment door wasn’t damaged in any way. On Monday, Stamper testified that the door frame was broken, which she said allowed the door to

GOP declares unemployment bill dead; Bush’s veto is apparent fate

WASHINGTON (AP) Republicans say the unemployment benefits bill that Congress passed is doomed, and they are calling on Democrats to drop an attempt to override President Bush’s expected veto and accept a less-costly GOP alternative. But Democrats say their 56.4 billion legislation extending jobless benefits by up to 20 weeks is very much alive. BY THE TIME Bush casts his veto and lawmakers try to reverse him later this month, a worsening economy and complaints from constituents may win them the extra votes they need, Democrats say. “I think they’ll be hearing a lot from the folks back home who are having trouble making ends meet,” predicted Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, DTexas, a chief author of the bill. The legislation was approved by lopsided margins Tuesday O in the House and 65-35 in the Senate. THE HOUSE tally gave supporters 11 votes more than the twothirds margin of 289 they would need to overturn a veto by Bush if 433 representatives vote. There are two vacancies in the 435-seat

Waterproofing? Who to call

Basement waterproofing is easily one of the best investments a homeowner can make, not only for comfort and safety reasons, but financially too. Stopping the deterioration of a foundation now could save thousands of dollars in repairs later on. Where to look? When it comes to waterproofing though, many homeowners are unsure of how to locate the best company for the job. A good way to start is with a toll-

free phone call to the National Association of Waterproofing Contractors (NAWC) 1-800-245-6292.

As an industry-specific organization, the NAWC has developed a stringent code of standards and ethics which must be adhered to for membership. NAWC members are kept abreast of the latest waterproofing methods and materials, and members are regularly trained on the newest state-of-the-art techniques. An NAWC representative can answer your questions on all aspects of a waterproofing firm. As a testament to the NAWC’s Industry influence, the organization has been called upon by national

swing open wider, helping her reach in and unhook the chain. WILSON SAID Stamper told her she feared something might have happened to Cartwright, that Cartwright had been the victim of a crime and that Stamper needed to be let into the apartment. Wilson said she initially refused and said normally police would have a search warrant in such circumstances. She finally relented when Stamper assured her it was an emergency. After she unlocked Cartwright’s door and Stamper unhooked the chain, Wilson said, she was surprised to see there were no signs anything was wrong. “I WAS SHOCKED. The apartment was neat and clean,” said Wilson. “Everything was normal, and I wondered why we were there.” In other testimony Tuesday, State Police Superintendent Lloyd Jennings said Stamper was called to work on the case to ensure Cartwright’s safety. He said Cartwright had told Bayh aides Crawford used to watch her apartment and hassle her if other men were there. Jennings also said Stamper wasn’t there to investigate and she wasn’t told to enter the apartment. He said he didn’t learn of the alleged break-in until two days later. ALSO ON Tuesday, former lottery security director Lacy Johnson began to testify about his efforts to counsel Cartwright and her family. Johnson, an attorney and former state policeman, said he also talked with Bailey about the alleged break-in. Johnson said the incident upset him because he feared police were treating Cartwright as a criminal instead of a victim. “It had taken on a different twist,” he said. “It had taken on a look at her as a potential criminal. I thought she was a victim.”

Alaskans get oil dividend

THIS MARKS the 10th straight year the state has distributed a dividend from its sl2 billion Permanent Fund, a trust created in 1976 to ensure Alaskans benefit from the state’s oil wealth long after the petroleum is gone.

Timetables set for closing Grissom, Harrison bases

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Timetables for closing Grissom Air Force Base and Fort Benjamin Harrison will help local officials prepare for reuse and development of the facilities, the Department of Defense says. All active military operations will end at Grissom by September 1994 and at Fort Harrison by July 1997 under preliminary timetables released Friday by the Pentagon. “WE HAVE DECIDED to release preliminary plans because of the intense interest expressed by the affected communities and their representatives,” said a letter from Colin McMillan, assistant secretary of defense for production and logistics. The letter, dated Monday, was sent to members of Congress. Lack of specific timetables for closing was hindering economic development officers and other local officials trying to lure enterprise to the targeted bases, said Kevin Shaw Kellems, a spokesman for Sen. Richard G. Lugar, R-Ind. “They lacked a concrete time frame, and very few companies or developers were interested in talking about reuse of the land without dates,” Kellems said. THE TIMETABLES, while tentative, will serve to eliminate some doubts and uncertainties, he said. The plan for closing the 3,000-acre Grissom in Miami County, calls for all personnel not associated with Air Force Reserve duties to leave by September 1994. A reserve air refueling wing and a reserve civil engineering squadron will remain. The Air Force Reserve will operate Grissom’s air strip, which accounts for about half of the base’s acreage, the plan said. The rest of the facility mostly recreational and open space but

Democrats are more concerned with breaking the budget agreement than they are in getting a real bill” to help the jobless, Fitzwater said. Republican opponents of the legislation insisted their support for Bush in the Senate was solid. “This bill is dead. Why don’t you just compromise?” Rep.

also including housing, office space and other structures would be available to the surrounding community, either through no-cast transfers for certain purposes or by purchase, it said. “THERE ARE NO surprises” in the plan, said Rep. Jim Jontz, D-Ind., whose 6th District includes Grissom. “The plan makes it clear the Air Force is moving quickly. That means that community efforts to respond must be moving forward at a rapid pace,” said Jontz. The tentative plan for Fort Harrison, on Indianapolis’ northeast side, calls for it to end its mission operations in September 1996 and to end all active-duty operations by October 1997. The fort currently is home to the Army finance operations, Defense Information School and Army’s Soldier Support Center, functions all being transferred to other bases.

provide jobless Americans with seven, 13 or 20 weeks of extra benefits once they use up the basic 26 weeks of coverage. The exact amount they are entitled to would depend on the unemployment rate in the state where they worked. It would apply to most people who used up the first half-year of coverage by last March 1. The program would lapse next July 4. Republicans, however, have cobbled together numerous alternative bills that provide fewer weeks of extra coverage. SENATE MINORITY Leader Bob Dole of Kansas has introduced a bill providing up to 10 weeks of extra payments. Sen. Dave Durenberger, R-Minn., introduced legislation Tuesday with as many as 15 extra weeks of payments. The GOP bills also pay for themselves by having the government auction off new allocations of radio frequencies and step up its debt collections. The Democratic measure is financed with borrowing, which increases the budget deficit Bush has based his veto threat on an assertion that the recession is ending. But he has backed the alternative GOP benefit measures, enabling Republicans to argue that their legislation should be supported because it has the only chance of enactment. IN THE HOUSE vote, 244 Democrats, 55 Republicans and one independent voted for passage. Eleven Democrats and 107 Republicans voted no. In the Senate, all 57 Democrats and eight Republicans voted for the legislation, while 35 Republicans were opposed.
