Harper, Wilkinson exchange barbs in debate

By JAY BLAN'I‘ON
Executive Editor

RICHMOND. Ky. —— When guber-
natorial candidates Wallace Wilkin-
son and John Harper debated for the
first time two weeks ago in
Owensboro, both said they offered
Kentucky a chance for change.

In their final debate last night,
change was again the byword as
each candidate claimed to have the
best answer to the state's financial
woes.

As they addressed a plethora of is-
sues ranging from campaign financ-
ing and revenue bonds to vote-buy-
ing and personal financing, the
Democrat Wilkinson and the Repub-
lican Harper exchanged barbs and
accusations while dodging in and out
of the issues.

During the last 30 months, Wilkin—
son said he had been across the
state listening to factory workers
and others who all say they want
change.

Harper though said that if you
look closely at Wilkinson “you see
many vestiges" of what we already

JOHN HARPER

have in Kentucky. “You‘re not
change — you’re more of the same."
he said to Wilkinson.

In the debate sponsored by the
Kentucky League of Women voters
last night, Wilkinson for the first
time disclosed his financial state-
ment in a question-and-answer ses-
sion with Harper.

U.S. attacks 3 Iranian
oil platforms in the gulf

By RICHARD PYLE
Associated Press

MANAMA. Bahrain U.S.
warships destroyed two Iranian oil
platforms in the Persian Gulf on
yesterday and Navy commandos
raided a third.

Iran said the Americans had
begun a “full~fledged war" to which
it promised “a crushing response."

President Reagan called the 85-
minute attack “a prudent yet re-
strained response“ to Friday’s mis-
sile strike on U.S.-flagged tanker off
Kuwait. The, missile was believed
launched from the nearby Paw Pen—
insula. which Iran has conquered in
its 7-year-old war with Iraq.

The Pentagon said no Americans
were injured in the operatiom. Teh-

NEW YORK — The stock market

The Casey County native said he
made about $1.5 million in 1986.
while paying about $179,000 in taxes.

At the last debate two weeks ago.
Harper, a state representative from
Bullitt County. questioned when Wil-
kinson would disclose his f inances.

Wilkinson said he had made "un-
precedented“ steps to deal fairly
with Kentuckians about his finances.

Wilkinson questioned whether dis-
closing his finances would bring one
more job to Kentucky or address
any of the problems the state is cur‘
rently facing.

One of those problems is the $450
million budget shortfall that has
been projected for next year.

Wilkinson said the budget for 1988
would be a balanced one. Under his
“first plan," those agencies receiv-

WALLACE WILKINSON

ing funds would be prioritized. he
said.

Harper countered that it was un-
realistic to talk of a balanced bud~
get. He said that because of the
tough economic times the state

faces in the next two years. old pro-
grams would have to be paid for be»
fore new ones could be established.

Both candidates also disagreed on
just how new revenue would be
brought into the state.

Wilkinson. alluding to a speech
Harper made last week. questioned
why Harper had said Kentuckians
should go to border states to buy lot-
tery tickets that would "educate"
other states' children.

Harper said that he would oppose
the lottery because it is a regressive
tax. "It is a sham." Harper said.

Wilkinson said that 3/4 of the state
supports the lottery as a means to
lift Kentucky's sagging economy.

Wilkinson said another way to
help the state‘s economy . partic-
ularly counties — is financmg pro-
jects through bond backing.

Wilkinson said he would use bond
backing to match counties dollar for
dollar in funding sewer and infra-
structure projects

But when a county has bad credit.
one has to wonder how it got that
way. Harper saidl'sing bonds to fi-
nance projects would only place a
burden on future generations. he
said.

Two issues the candidates general
ly agreed on were campaign financ-
ing and vote-buying The two. how»
ever. disagreed on how to
specifically address them

Wilkinson said he would be in
favor of broad campaign linancing
reform. if it could be lltillt' lll such it
way to ensure that an "outSider‘~
would have the chance to be an III-
cumbent.

Harper. though. said Wilkinson
was confused about the way elec-
tions were run in Kentucky

Constitutionally. llarpcr said. you
can't run against an incumbent. be
cause a state office holder is not al-
lowed to succeed himself

Both Harper and Wilkinson did
say that they would recommend to
Gov. Martha Layne l‘olliiis that she
place state police at voting booths to
insure against any foul play

Maine senator says events question constitution

By CA. DUANE BONIFER
Editorial Editor

U.S. Senator George Mitchell, D-
Maine, said last night that in the
200th year of the U.S. Constitution,
several events over the last few
months have raised some serious
constitutional questions.

Addressing about 200 people in the
Singletary Center for the Arts.
Mitchell said the past summer‘s
Irancontra hearings. the nomi-
nation of Robert H. Bork to the Su-
preme Court and the current situa-
tion in the Persian Gulf all relate to
the constitution.

The Iran-contra affair was a “dis-
pute of power in a democracy.“
Mitchell said. That dispute focused
on the need for the executive branch
of government to conduct covert op-
erations in a supposedly free and
open society. he said.

Two of the key witnesses who ap-
peared this summer before a joint
congressional committee, in which
Mitchell was a member. —— Adm.
John Poindexter and Lt. Col. Oliver
North — told the committee mem-
bers that the president must have
unrestricted power to conduct covert
operations around the world.

“Such a position in my view is
fundamentally inconsistent (with the
constitution),“ Mitchell said.

At times, it is necessary for the
government to conduct some covert
operations. Mitchell said. but at the
same time. he said the constitution
wovides that Americans must know
what their government is doing at
all time. so they can agree or dis-
agreewith its policy.

“Clearly the ultimate original in-
tent was to prevent any individual.
institution or branch of government
from accumulating too much
powe."hesaid.

Pahaps no power in the constitu-
tion is more divided. Mitchell said,
than the power to engage in war.
The ”idem has the right to con-

duct war, but only if Congress de-
clares it.

Mitchell said that at times, some
Americans may have forgotten this
because Congress' power has been
"seriously eroded“ over the years.

After fighting two undeclared

wars. the Wars Powers Act was
passed by Congress in 1973 in order
to put more restraints on the presi
dent. .
Several times during his adminis
tration. President Ronald Reagan
has said the Wars Powers Act is un-
constitutional.

While Mitchell has said he has
some “very serious questiom"
about certain provisions of the War
Powers Act, he said the president
still has to obey it until it is declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court.

Mitchell said the War Powers Act
needs to be changed in two areas.

Currently. if the president deploys
U.S. forces and the Congress does
not vote to keep them there within
90 days, the troops have to be re-
moved. Mitchell said Congress
should have to vote on keeping the
forces in place instead of remaining
silent like it currently can.

Mitchell also said the War Powers
Act should not apply to when the
president places military forces in
areas that are not considered com-
bat zones.

The current controversy surround-
ing the Bork nomination centers on
the idea of inalienable human rights
versrs those rights granted by gov-
ernment. Mitchell said.

The question of where the line is
drawn between human rights and
therightsofthesocietyhasbeen
raised,hesaid.

“Neither our constitution or own
laws have provided us with a clear
definitioriwheretodrawthelinebe-
tween the rights of the individual
and the rights of society.“ Mitchell
said.

It" mos Kernel Stall

Maine Senator George Mitchell spoke last night in front of a crowd
of 200. Kentucky Senator Wendell Ford was also present.

The orily way to search for that
answer. he said. is to continue
studying the liberal arts.

Although Ba'k testified before the

Senate Judiciary Committee that he
follows the original intent of the con-
stitution. Mitchell said "there's a
real question whether he has adher-
edtothem.“

First lady recovering quickly

WASHINGTON — Nancy Reagan.
“feeling jmt great“ two days after
breast-cancer surgery. got a get-
well basket of cookies and a big kiss
from President Reagan yesterday as
she continued a rapid recovery. her
spokeswoman said.

“She‘ll be coming home soon.‘
Reagan called out to reporters as he
left the White House for his fourth
visit to Bethesda Naval Medical
Center in nearby Maryland.

Upon his return to the White
House after a three-hour visit, Rea-
gan said he expected his wife to
come home “in a few days.“

“She‘s just doing great." Reagan
called out to reporters.

The president‘s physician. John
Hutton, issued a statement earlier in
the day saying the first lady‘s recov~
ery “is continuing very well and she
feels wonderful. "

Reagan. questioned by reporters
upon leaving the White House in late
afternoon, held up a poster reading
“Get Well Mrs. Reagan." and a
small wicker basket lined with red
and white-checkered fabric filled
with cookies.

The poster was given to the presi-
dent by a group of children. honored
for performing heroic deeds. he had
met with earlier in the day. aides

FRANKFURT — The Kentucky
House passed the omnibus workers’
compensation bill 8016 yesterday.
steamrolling coalfield legislators
who failed twice to soften the finan-
cial blow it would deal the coal in
dustry.

The House approved only techni—
cal amendments to the bill before
sending it to the Senate. where it
was guaranteed a friendly reception
today.

In essence. the bill originated in
the Senate even though it was intro-
duced in the House. Its provisions
were written by Sen. Ed O’Daniel.
D-Springfield. and the bill has been
called “the O‘Daniel plan“ since its
inception

The bill would assess Kentucky
employers an extra $110 million per
year for 30 years to pay off a $1.7
billion debt in the workers’ compen-
sation program. The coal industry
would absorb $61 million a year of
that amount.

Current disability benefits would
not be changed. but awards for fu-
ture claims would be reduced. par~

her in the hospital‘s presidential
suite.

The president and his wife sched-
uled a dinner of broiled steak. baked
potatoes. asparagus. Caesar salad
and apple fritters. Mrs. Crispen
said.

The first lady “primped a little for
her beau" in anticipation of Rea-
gan‘s visit. Mrs. Crispen said. The
first lady had told her. "I‘m feeling
just great,“ she added.

Hutton reported Sunday that final
test results from Mrs. Reagan's sur-
gery revealed no spread of the ma-
lignancy and that her prognosis for
a full recovery was excellent.

A 12-doctor team removed the her
left breast and several lymph nodes
from under her arm Saturday in a
50-minute operation known as a
modified radical mastectomy. The
surgery followed a biopsy that re-
vealed a quarter~inch malignant.
tumor.

Her physicians at first predicted a
five- to sevenday hospital stay, but
Reagan told reporters Sunday her
recovery was “ahead of schedule."

Mrs. Reagan plans no public
events for at least three weeks, Mrs.
Crispen said.

The first lady became known as a
sharpeyed protector of Reagan's
schedule and health, and now she
will follow her own advice, Mrs.
Crispen said. “I‘ve made sure oth-
ers follow doctors‘ orders. and now
I‘m going to follow some myself."
Mrs. Crispen quoted her as saying.

“The doctors told her to keep ac-
tive, so she's been walking up and
down the hall." the spokeswoman
said. “But they've also said. ‘Get
some rest. don’t overdo after all.
you did have surgery.”

many years. planned to be Mrs.
Reagan’s first visitor other than the
president, her stepbrother Dr. Rich-
ard Davis and White House staffers,

for the majority of awards for occu-
pational diseases.

That provision brought about 130
United Mine Workers from two 10-
cals in Pike County to the Capitol in
chartered buses yesterday. They
carried signs protesting benefit cuts
and condemning Gov. Martha Layne
Collins.

Many were watching from the
House gallery as the legislation —
House Bill 1 — weathered hours of
often emotional debate and with-
stood two major attempts to amend
it by the coalfield caucus.

The more touted of the amend-
ments was offered by Majority
Floor Leader Greg Stumbo of Pres-
tonsburg. It would have separated
coal-related disability claims from
the workers‘ compensation program
Special Fund. paying them from a
separate fund that would be built
upon a 40-cent tonnage tax for coal
companies. . _

“I don’t think we‘ll ever'get over
the argmnenr or warhead: (for'
the workers‘ compensation mess)
and who pays more and who pays
less until we separate those two
funds." said Stumbo.

But Rep. Joe Clarke, chairman of
the House Appropriations and Reve-
nue Committee. said Stumbo‘s cal—

culations “are absolutely incorrect"
and that the amendment was “se-
riously flawed.“

“It‘s always been my impression
that if something looks too good to
be true, it usually is.“ said Clarke.
D-Danville. Stumbo‘s amendment
would not assess coal companies
enough and non-coal employers
would have to make up the differ-
ence,hesaid.

Rep. Bobby H. Richardson. D-
Glasgow, noted that House members
had only received Stumbo‘s amend-
ment Monday morning. so there had
been no time to check its calcula-
tions.

“Did we come in here this morn-
ing to buy some pie in the sky?“
said Richardson, D-Glasgow. “If it‘s
good. if it works. it will work in Jan-
uary“ when the General Assembly
convenes in regular session.

Stumbo‘s amendment was defeat-
ed 64-32. He insisted that “it does
have merit. I intend to bring it back
in 1988" as a separate piece of legis-
lation.

Earlier, the House defeated by
voice vote an amendment by Demo-
cratic Rep. Roger Noe of Harlan
that would have removed black lung
benefits from the bill.

Goetz sentenced to 6 months

By SAMUEL MAULL
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Subway gunman
Bernhard Goetz was sentenced yes-
terday to six months in jail. ordered
to see a psychiatrist and fined $5.000
by a judge who rejected a probation
report that recommended he go
free.

Goetz. whose shooting of four
youths nearly three years ago
touched off a nationwide debate over
vigilantism, stood impassively as
acting state Supreme Court Justice
Stephen G. Crane sentenced him on
the single gun possession count on
which he was convicted.

The crime carries a maximum
penalty of sven years in prison,
though first-time offenders like
Goetz rarely go to jail.

Goetz, who was acquitted of more
serious charges in the shootings,
also was sentenced to five years of
probation and 280 hours of commu-
nity service at New York University
Medical Center.

“A non-jail sentence for Mr. Goetz
would invite others to violate the
gun law," Crane said. “Whether you
agree with the law or not, it is the
law and it was the law on Dec. 22,
1984, and it remains the law.”

Asked if he wished to say anything
before the judge pronounced sen-
tence, Goetz, 39, replied: “No. I
have nothing to say.“

After the sentence was passed,
Goetz stood silent, showing no emo-
tion. He remains free on $50,000 bail,
pending appeal.

Crane said Goetz could choose his
psychiatrist. In its presentencing
memo. the Probation Department
had suggested “intensive supervi-
sion coupled with indefinite psychi-
atric intervention," but no jail time.

Goetz's lawyer, Barry Slotnick,
had moved to quashfie-conviefim.
But in a presentencing memo, pros-
ecutor Gregory Waples described
Goetz as disturbed and dangerous
and said “any action . which
would unconditionally set (him)

 

 

“A non-jail sentence for Mr. Goetz would invite
others to violate the gun law. Whether you
agree with the law or not, it is the law and it
was the law on Dec. 22, 1984, and it remains

the law.”

Stephen G. Crane,

acting New York state supreme court justice
—

loose in the community would . . . be
highly irresponsible."

The sentencing was momentarily
disrupted when a black man with
dreadlocks stood up and interrupted
Crane’s explanation of the legal con-
siderations.

“I got a mandatory year. judge,
so he oughta get one." the man said,
before he was removed by court offi-
cers.

In the city last year. 669 adults
like Goetz who had no prior felony
convictions were convicted of illegal
possession of a firearm in the third
degree. Only 41 percent were sen-
tenced to prison.

When Slotnick was asked whether
Goetz could survive prison, he said,
“I hope so. Special care will have to
betaken."

Mayor Edward I, Koch. comment-
ing later in the day. said only that
the sentence appeared to be “tough-
er than ordinary. "

William Kunstler. a lawyer for
Darrell Cabey. one of the youths
Goetz shot, said he did not see the
sentence “as a slap on the wrist.

. . . The judge brought some ratio-
nality into the proceedings. I hope
people out in the streets will be de-
terred from doing what Goetz did.“

Goetz is white, the four young men
he shot are black. and racism be-
came an issue in the trial.

The incident occiu'red about 5
pm. in the subway as Goetz was on
his way to visit friends. Troy Canty.
who like the other youths was 19 at
the time. approached Goetz and
asked for $5. Goetz stood up, said he

had $5 for each of them, and then
shot Canty, James Ramseur. Barry
Allen and Darrell Cabey.

Goetz told a conductor that the
four had been trying to rob him. He
then escaped into the darkness of
the subway tunnel.

The tabloids dubbed the tall, bes~
pectaled gunman “the Subway Vigi-
lante.“ His name unknown, he be-
came an instant symbol of outrage
at urban crime — hero to many. vil-
lain to others.

On Dec. 31, Goetz turned himself
in to Concord, NH, police; he told
them he had become a “monster"
who “wanted to murder those
guys."

The first grand jury refused to in-
dict Goetz on attempted murder
charges. but a second panel — after
hearing testimony from Allen and
Ramseur. who were granted immu-
nity — charged him with four counts
of attempted murder. one count of
reckless endangerment. four counts
of assault and illegal weapons
charges.

All eight state universities in Ken-
tucky offer educational programs
about acquired immune deficiency
syndrome. but so far only two are
prepared to go beyond education.

The University of Kentucky and
the University of Louisville decided
to install condom vending machines
in residence halls to go along with
their educational programs.

Condoms are distributed at the
student health services at Kentucky
State University and Eastern Ken-
tucky University. and student gov-
ernments at Western Kentucky.
Kentucky State and Northern Ken-
tucky universities are considering
the issue of installing condom vend-
ing machines on campus. Transylva-
nia University recently vetoed such
aproposal.

Associated Press

LOUISVILLE — John Harper the
Republican nominee for governor
says he will amend his 1986 income
tax returns if necessary to include
$18,803 he got from the state for an
acre of his front yard needed for a
highway.

Harper said he did not report the
income because costs associated
with the land‘s condemnation. such
as replacing a well and a driveway
and paying a lawyer to contest an
earlier payment for the land. made
the transaction a ”wash.”

But the Internal Revenue Service
requires taxpayers to report income
from all real estate sales. whether
voluntary or involuntary. in the year
the income is received.

Critics say the condom machines
will promote promiscuity among
students officials at Louisville and

Scientists generally agree that
AIDS is spread primarily through
intimate sexual contact and unste-
rile needles. The AIDS virus is car-
ried in blood. semen and vaginal flu-
ids.

U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop has urged Americans to learn
about the fatal disease and to take
preventive. measures. Aside from
abstinence. he recommends con-
doms as the best protection from
AIDS.

Even if property owners do not
make any money from the trans-
action they must document that
conclusion by filing a Schedule D
form. No Schedule D accompanied
the 1986 tax returns released by
Harper

Harper would have to file the
amended returns if an error was
made. If additional taxes are due
he would be charged interest on the
amount from April 15.

But Dr. Fredrick Gibbs director
of Eastern Kentucky University‘s
student health service. said all fac-
tors relating to the spread of sexual-
ly transmitted disease needed to be
considered because condoms were
not completely safe.

"To be pushing condoms with the
idea that you‘re safe would be fool-
ingyourself,“Gibbs said.

Officials at Western Kentucky also
are “not ready to start placing con-
dom vending machines on campus."
said Jerry Wilder, vice president for
student affairs.

Western‘s first priority, Wilder
said. was to ensure the rights of any
students who contracted AIDS.

“There are drugstores around
campus which sell condoms. It's not
like our students can‘t get con-
doms,“ Wilder said.

Wilder has recommended that

The $18,803 payment was in addi-

when the state actually took posses-
sion of the land needed to widen
Preston Highway. Harper believed
the first payment was inadequate
and contested it for several years.

Harper said he could not recall
whether he reported the $21,797 pay-
ment as income on his 1982 tax re-
turns.

appoint a committee to develop a
policy about how AIDS cases would
behandled.

“If that committee were to recom-
mend, based on its findings. that it
was needed to place condom vend-
ing machines on campus. it would
be corsidered. " Wilder said.

Similar committees are being es-
tablished at UK. Kentucky State and

Kentucky universities educate about AIDS, differ in degree

“I'm doubtful condoms will be dis—

said. “Something like that is easier
to accomplish at an urban university
because the populations tend to be
