Winning
$10,000
ticket lost
United Press International
LYNNWOOD, Wash. — An
unemployed man sifted
through a mountain of garbage
in his driveway Saturday hoping
to find a winning $10,000
Washington state lottery ticket
he accidentally threw away.
Don Temple, 33, eagerly
greeted a dumpster full of gar
bage Friday when a garbage col
lection firm graciously brought
it to his home, but after hours of
dirty work he still hadn’t found
the lucky ticket.

Thinking he was a loser
Temple had dropped the ticke
into an ashtray at the Fre<

ased it on a premonition las:
Sunday.
Temple’s card showed two

Experts try to learn
from Vietnam War
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — The
largest gathering of Vietnam
War experts ever assembled be
gins a conference Sunday on
what lesspns can be learned
from America’s 25-year involve
ment in the bitter Southeast
Asian conflict.
“We’re sure this is the biggest
conference on the war ever
held,” said Ed Cray, a spokes
man for the University of South
ern California, sponsor of “Les
sons from a War: Vietnam Re
considered.”
Late additions to the confer
ence include a former vice presi
dent of South Vietnam, a naval
officer held in a North Viet
namese POW camp for eight
years, and the Army general
who investigated the My Lai
massacre, Cray said.
More than 85 journalists,
U.S. and South Vietnamese poli
cy makers, veterans, former
spies, Army generals, filmmak
ers and anti-war protesters are
scheduled to take part in the
four-day conference.
Harrison Salisbury, a former
correspondent for The New
York Times and one of 12 Pulit
zer Prize-winning reporters tak
ing part in the conference,
chaired the panel that helped
plan the meeting at USC.
“The idea of having a confer
ence has been talked over
among correspondents for sev
eral years,” Salisbury said.
“Many people have had a feeling
that there were a lot of lessons
which could be learned, that
should be learned, but which
were probably going down the
drain because nobody sat down
and began to analyze what had
gone wrong and what had gone
right.”
The conference covers nearly
every facet of the war — includ
ing its origins, the impact of
print and broadcast journalism
and the war’s effects on veter
ans, Americans, Vietnamese
and the armed forces.
The anti-war protest move
ment and the role of the Cl A will
also be discussed.
Nguyen Ngoc Dung, deputy
permanent representative of the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam to
the United Nations, announced
last week that the State Depart
ment had denied her permission
to attend the conference, but
said she would participate
through a satellite hookup
arranged by California Public
Radio.
Jack Langguth, an associate
professor of journalism at USC
who covered the war for The
New York Times, said he began
planning the conference last
year when his students, who
were children when U.S. troops
pulled out of Vietnam, express
ed curiosity about the war.

Administration wants
insanity plea reforms
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — A top
Justice Department official said
Friday that the administration is
ready to bargain to gain reforms
in the insanity defense. Under
the present defense, John Hinc
kley Jr. was acquitted for trying
to assassinate President Ronald
Reagan.
Deputy Attorney General
Edward Schmults said the admi
nistration hopes “to fashion a
modification of the insanity de
fense that will enlist a broad base
of support — and ensure speedy
reform in the Congress.”
Speaking before an Amer
ican Bar Association meeting in
i New Orleans, Schmults said
there is public concern about the
abuse of the insanity defense.
He said in an interview later,
I “There are a lot of cases, and
Hinckley is one, that show we
ought to take a look at the insan
ity defense issue. Cases such as
Hinckley’s call attention to the
need for change.”
Last fall, the Reagan adminis
tration sent to Congress a prop
osal to overhaul the insanity de
fense and nearly eliminate its
use.
The proposed reform, which
did not pass Congress, would

not permit a criminal defendant man being to kill him — even if
to escape punishment if “he the defendant acted out of an
knew he was shooting at a hu- irrational or insane belief.”
