Tuesday morning.
John K. Anderson, an assistant at
torney general, said Tuesday that
the state was prepared to act imme
diately to limit withdrawals at any in
stitution that requests the protection
of a conservatorship.
“There are a number that have
asked what the procedure would be
and asked if we have contingency
plans,” Anderson said.
He said attorneys from “half a
dozen or so” have called him to dis
cuss procedures.
“The questions are mostly what do
the petitions say, what does the or
der look like,” he said.
The problem began last week with
reports that the state had uncovered
serious management problems at
Old Court, the second-largest state
chartered institution with deposits of
about $840 million. By Monday,
when depositors had pulled out
more than $30 million, the state got
a court order putting the institution
in the hands of a conservator and
limiting withdrawals to $1,000 a
month for each account.
Reports that Merritt Commercial
Savings and Loan had been asked to
sell a 39-story office building it was
building in downtown Baltimore
triggered a similar run beginning
Saturday. Merritt directors quickly
asked for a similar conservatorship;
they had announced earlier they had
found a buyer for the building.

The pontiff, 64, will fly to Luxem

In Amersfoort, several hundred
young people gathered on the lawn
of the Ter F.em Roman Catholic sec

the kind of informal atmosphere he
relishes.
Security was very tight a day after
the fourth anniversary of the at
tempt on John Paul’s life in St. Pet
er’s Square. Visitors entering the
school grounds were required to
pass a metal detector.
A list of questions from young
sters was read to John Paul. One of
the students — Sheila van Drie, 16
— said many teen-agers “feel that
the church does not understand con
temporary problems, certainly issues
such as homosexuality, abortion, the
position of women in the church,
questions connected with living to
gether and sex before marriage.” >.
Delivering what he acknowledged
would be an unpopular answer, the
pope said the Bible “shows us a de
manding Christ. ... Would it be rea
listic to imagine a Jesus who is indul
gent on marital love, abortion,
sexual relations before or outside
marriage, or homosexual relations?”
He was interrupted twice by ap
plause.
There were several incidents of
heckling in Maastricht, however,
and four arrests.

PHILADELPHIA — At least six
bodies, including those of two chil
dren, were found in the ashes of the
MOVE fortress on Tuesday, while
Mayor W. Wilson Goode defended
police tactics which ended a shootout
but set 60 homes ablaze.
Meeting with those who had lived
uneasily beside the radicals for three
years and whose homes were still
smoldering, Goode pledged that the
neighborhood would be rebuilt.
Three bodies were found in the
basement of the radical group’s
house, said Detective Jerry Wh^r-
tenby. The charred remains of two
other victims were found nearby,
said Leo Brooks, the city’s managing
director. Parts of a sixth body and
possibly those of a seventh were dis
covered in wreckage that was pulled
from the house by a crane, Fire
Commissioner William Richmond
said.
The bodies included two male
adults, one female adult, parts of a
fourth adult, one female child and
parts of another child, Richmond
said Tuesday night. None could be
identified immediately.
A body bag and two smaller bags
were removed from the rubble and
placed in a medical examiner’s van
just before 8 p.m., when the search
ended. The search will resume at
daylight, police said.
The search through the house
had gone slowly because of the
heavy destruction, Richmond said.
The firelight began with police
Monday morning after the group re
fused to leave, demanding instead
that nine MOVE members convicted
of murder in a 1978 shootout be re
leased. One policeman was killed
and several policemen and firemen
wounded in that gunbattle.
Firemen, who had been using del- -
uge guns to pour floods of water on
adjoining houses, pulled back when
MOVE members shot at them, said
Fire Commissioner William Rich
mond.
Arrested and charged with assault
was Ramona Africa, who was held
on $3 million bail. “You charge me
with assault,* I charge Wilson Goode
with assault,” she said at her arraign
ment.
All MOVE members use Africa as
a last name after their founder John
Africa, who was born Vincent Lea-
phart. He founded the group in
1972.

“For 2 1 /2 years it never occurred to me that the
‘someone’ was me. Money was what was needed
for education and research, lots and lots of
money.”
Their book, called “Breaking Points,” reveals
little about young Hinckley that is not on the
public record. His irrational love for movie star
Jodie Foster, his agonized writings, his aimless
transcontinental wanderings were told in great
detail at his trial.
According to the Hinckleys, they learned
much about their “silent, docile John,” along with
the rest of the world. In the end, it turned them
into crusaders for the mentally ill.
“We discovered similar problems wherever we
went,” writes Hinckley, who uses the name Jack,
not John Sr. “These people felt painfully cut off
from their communities — not so much by any
thing other people did, as by their own secretive-
son, wife or parent who was suffering the ill
ness.”
Hinckley writes that he does not understand
the logic of those who want to abolish or weaken
the insanity defense, which brought a verdict of
“not guilty by reason of insanity” in all 13 counts
of the case against John W. Hinckley jr.
“Nobody benefits when a severely mentally ill
felon is sent to prison rather than to a maximum-
security mental hospital,” the father writes. “If
sent to prison he will likely receive no treatment
for his sickness, yet be paroled in a few years in a_
worse condition than ever.”
