Vicki Hoskinson, 8, was kidnap ped Sept. 17 from a street near a Tucson elementary school. The sus pect in the case is Frank J. Atwood, 26, of Los Angeles County. Atwood was arrested in Texas, pending ex tradition to Arizona to face kidnap ping charges. A spokeswoman for a Tucson- based group called We the People said petitions will be circulated, de manding that legislators keep sex of fenders off the streets permanently. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who is handling the investi gation, said he would like It) see tougher prosecution of sex offend ers. Dupnik said the courts are being manipulated by defense lawyers to the point where truth and justice are lost. Robert Hirsh, a prominent Tuc son defense lawyer, said if Dupnik feels that way, he ought to propose a constitutional amendment to do away with lawyers. Deputy Pima County Public De fender Tom Hippert warns nothing will be solved by having a McCarthy- type witch hunt. Hippert said many child molesting incidents occur at home and are committed by people known to the victims. Hippert said most of the offenders can be treated. Dupnik told an audience of about 300 people that the justice system needs a complete overhaul to protect the public from habitual criminal of fenders. The message to the public was stay mad and stay involved. Dupnik was in favor of ending parole status for convicted sex offenders. But Hippert anti other lawyers said Arizona has one of the toughest laws in the nation against child mo lesting and kidnapping, with no pa role from prison for five years for first-time offenders. Atwood has served three years of a five-year prison term for kidnap ping a 7-year-old California boy he sexually molested. Ad-hoc citizens groups lished in Tucson after Vicki peared are banding together uu the name, We the People. ’ phrase was used by Dupnikatar: and march held Sept. 27 at ask ping center near Vicki’s school. House and Senate seek compromise on bill to stem illegal alien increase Chri United Press International WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators attempted to breathe new life Tuesday into a con troversial immigration bill that seeks to stem a rising tide of illegal aliens into the United States. The bill, which would grant am nesty to millions of illegal aliens al ready in the country, was revived af ter Rep. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., won approval of a compromise on a key issue that brought negotiations to a halt last month. But as Congress moved toward adjournment, chances for final pas sage still remained slim. A House-Senate conference com mittee headed by Rep. Peter Rodino, D-N.J., resumed efforts to resolve differences between bills sponsored by Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., and Rep. Romano Mazzoli, D-Ky. Many thought the bill was dead when nine dtiys of talks ended with out agreement after Simpson re jected an amendment by Rep. Bar ney Frank, D-Mass., intended to protect legalized aliens against dis crimination on the job. The Frank amendment adds “alienage” to race, national origin, religion and sex as grounds for f iling civil rights charges against employ ers. Simpson protested that this would prohibit an employer from giving preference to citizens in hiring and give aliens rights not granted to citi zens. Schumer’s proposed compromise, agreed to last week in behind-the- scene negotiations, narrowed the protection for aliens to those who have declared their intent to seek cit izenship. Even after conferees agreement, the legislation still faces the threat of a filibuster in the Senate, which passed it 76-18 last year. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, has vowed to do all in his power to pre vent its passage. However, Mazzoli said he does not expect a f ilibuster. In the House, where it passed by the margin of 216-211, the bill faces opposition from many sides — in cluding Hispanics and blacks who Governor presents third proposal to end seven-week teacher strike United Press International BATON ROUGE, La. — Gov. Ed win Edwards proposed another solu tion Tuesday aimed at ending the seven-week-old teachers strike in St. John the Baptist Parish, but lie re fused to divulge details of the plan until the parish school board reacts to it. Edwards met for an hour at the governor’s mansion with St. John school board President Alvin Perret, Superintendent Alvin Becnel and A.J. “Sookie” Roy, a member of the state school board whose district in cludes St.John Parish. “Contingent on the board being able to settle other differences, I have offered some additional assis tance,” Edwards said in a statement after the meeting. “I am awaiting communication relative to the board’s decision.” Perret, Becnel and Roy were going to present the governor’s lat est offer to other board members. “I urge once again that all parties try to put aside their differences in order to resolve this dispute and re turn the children to the classroom,” Edwards said in his statement. Edwards has tried twice before to settle the walkout. But the strike has dragged on over the issue of whether the board would recognize the teacher’s right to bargain collec tively. The governor has called the board’s opposition to collective bar gaining ludicrous and archaic. He earlier threatened to call the Legis lature into special session, abolish current school board districts in St. John and call new elections unless the stalemate was ended. After meeting with contingents of teachers and parents last week, Ed wards offered another settlement. The proposal would have returned teachers to school immediately with an already agreed-upon 5 percent pay raise and other job security and insurance demands. The proposal would have allowed the voters of the parish to decide the collective bargaining question at the polls in November. But Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Dejean said Monday a legal question might exist whether voters may approve collective bargaining. Teachers wholeheartedly en dorsed the idea Saturday, but the school board returned Sunday with a counterproposal of its own. The board panted to hold the ref erendum at the end of the school year, and to include on the ballot whether teachers should be required to take competency tests. Angry teachers refused Monday afternoon to consider the board’s counterproposal. “This is just another ploy on the part of the school board,” said Wil- helmina Armour, president of the St. John Association of Educators. “They have no intention of ending the strike.” Six striking teachers did return to classes Monday, but the majority of the some 700 school employees re main away from their jobs, keeping some 6,200 students out of school in the seventh week of the strike. Teachers on Monday sent copies of the board’s counterproposal to Edwards, sparking Tuesday’s meet ing. The education association also asked the board to return to the bar gaining table. say employer sanctions would too discrimination against minority] seekers. sista. tuslc The compromise bill, as worii out earlier, would grant permaiM residence u> otherwise VavMOT aliens who entered the countryr gaily before 1977 and give tem| rary status to those who tame but prior to 1981.
