WASHINGTON — A panel of
children’s advocates charged on
Monday that millions of poor, hand
icapped and minority students are
being cheated by America’s public
schools, and that the rush to raise
standards could make life worse for
those at the back of the class.
They said the plight of these chil
dren, and the ways the schools and
government have responded to it,
“support the worries of those who
fear the development of a perma
nent underclass in America.”
“The United States cannot afford
to leave underdeveloped the talents
of millions of children who happen
to be born different by virtue of
race, language, sex or income sta
tus,” said the panel headed by for
mer U.S. Commissioner of Educa
tion Harold Howe II and Marian
Wright Edelman, president of the
Children’s Defense Fund.
They charged minority and poor
children “do not matter as much ...
to some school officials,” and that, in
Howe’s words, “state and local fi
nancing of schools adds up to a con
spiracy to spend more money on
rich kids and less money on poor
kids.”
Howe also charged President Rea
gan has presided over “an anti-child
hood administration.” He said he
“did not look for any relief’ in Rea
gan’s second term.
Howe and Edelman chaired a 17-
member board of inquiry that con
ducted a two-year study of the
schools for the Boston-based Na
tional Coalition of Advocates for
Students.
The 162-page report, “Barriers to
Excellence: Our Children At Risk,”
exhorts the public and educators to
put equal opportunity back at the
forefront of the school agenda,
where the emphasis in the past few
years has been on raising standards
and striving for excellence.
The report criticized school dis
tricts that set up smaller classes for
gifted youths. That “detracts from
resources available to all other
youth,” said the report, which advo
cates keeping the gifted in regular
classes.
At a crowded news conference in
an elementary school auditorium,
Howe said “the doors of schools are
more open than they were 20 years
ago” for poor people, blacks, His-
panics and students with learning
problems. But “we found a lack of
commitment to making these stu
dents successful once they are in
school,” he added.
Reports such as “A Nation At
Risk,” the influential 1983 study by
the Reagan administration’s Na
tional Commission on Excellence in
Education, have generally called for
tougher standards across-the-board.

LONDON — A U.S. Embassy po
litical officer who was kidnapped in
Beirut almost a year ago was shown
on a videotape Monday saying he
and two other missing Americans
were well.
In Washington, Cable News Net
work reported U.S. officials saw an
other videotape last summer that
showed journalist Jeremy Levin and
two others assumed to be captives in
Beirut, but the administration urged
that the matter be kept quiet at the
time.
The report said State Department
sources had confirmed the existence
of the tape. Department spokesman
Bernard Kalb, however, refused
comment on the CNN report.
The tape obtained by Visnews, a
London-based international tele
vision news agency, showed William
Buckley, political officer of the U.S.
Embassy in Beirut, standing alone
against a blank wall and holding a
copy df a Beirut newspaper dated
Jan. 22.
“Today, the 22nd of January
1985, I am well and my friends Ben
jamin Weir and Jeremy Levin are
also well,” Buckley said in the 56-sec
ond video. “We ask that our govern
ment take action for our release
quickly.”'
The tape did not identify the
Americans’ captors nor specify any
demands for their release. The only
previous demand has come in calls
from a group identifying itself “Ji
had Island,” Islamic Holy War, call
ing for all Americans to leave Leb-
Jihad Island is believed made up
of fundamentalist Shiite Moslems
loyal to Iran’s Ayatollan Ruhollah
Khomeini.

Court rules phony ‘cure’ wasn’t rape

SAN FRANCISCO — A man who
tricked a woman into having sex by
persuading her it would cure her of
a fatal disease cannot be prosecuted
for rape, a state appeals court ruled.
By a 2-1 vote, the 1st District
Court of Appeal rejected prosecu
tion arguments that Daniel Boro
could be charged under a law that
says having sexual intercourse with a
woman who is “unconscious of the
nature of the act” constitutes rape.
Despite the “heartless cruelty of
(Boro’s) scheme,” his conduct was
not rape because the woman “pre--
cisely understood the nature of the
act,” said the majority opinion by
Justice William Newsom, issued Fri
day.
Boro still faces charges of at
tempted grand theft for allegedly
trying to collect money from the
woman for the supposed “cure.”
Last March, Boro, posing as a doc
tor, telephoned the woman in South
San Francisco and said a blood test
showed she suffered from a possibly
fatal disease.
Deputy San Mateo County District
Attorney Morley Pitt said it was not
clear how Boro obtained the wom
an’s name. She had had the blood
tests run at a hospital.
Boro told her the only treatments
for her ailments were painful sur
gery, costing $9,000 and requiring
six weeks in the hospital, or sexual
intercourse with an anonymous “do
nor” who had been injected with a
serum, the court said.
The procedure normally cos't
$4,500, but the “doctor” said he
would take $1,000 as a down pay
ment, the court said.
The woman went along with the
plan, testifying later that she
thought she would die otherwise.
In barring a rape charge, New
cited traditional legal rules thatdi
tinguish between two types of framl
If the victim is misled about:r
nature of the act itself — beliewi
that she is not having sexual
course — her consent isdisregart
and the act is considered to
against her will.
But if the fraud involves only it
motivation for the act, theactisc#
