HOUSTON — Sakowitz Inc., one
of the last high-fashion speciality
stores still owned by its founding
family, announced Thursday it
would seek protection from its cred
itors under Chapter 11 of the fed
eral bankruptcy law rather than sell
to a competitor.

fears by suppliers and staggered by

“For a business that’s been around
as long as we have, it was a difficult
decision to file for protection and to
tell creditors to sit tight while we re
organize. But we can turn it around
and we intend to do so, just like
Chrysler and Continental Airlines,”
he said.
Sakowitz said the company ex
pects to file a reorganization plan
within six months. He also said the
company may talk to investors but
“right now we don’t have anyone.”
According to court papers, the 20
largest unsecured creditors included
Kensington Limited Partnership, of
Tulsa, $3 million; Evans Inc. of Chi
cago, $570,702; Estee Lauder Group
of Dallas, $290,233; and US Tele
com of Dallas, $252,070. Documents
also showed loans totaling $27 mil
lion from five banks.

want to do anything to perpetuate
conditions that we abhor. But we do
have to look at alternatives. And I al
ways keep going back to Iran, where
some people a few years ago thought
the shah was a very repressive ruler
and had a very repressive regime,
and paid no attention whatever to
the alternatives that would flow
from not supporting him.
“And as a result, we have the most
repressive government since the
Middle Ages. And that could have
been avoided, in my opinion.”
Looking relaxed and denying he
had any plans to leave office, Wein
berger addressed reports that Salva
doran officials had contradicted his
claim on Wednesday of a successful
retaliatory strike against the guerril
las who he said were responsible for
the June 19 killing of six Americans
in a San Salvador cafe.
“I think the confusion seems to
have been (the suggestion) that I was
identifying a particular person who
pulled the trigger and was now dead
or something,” Weinberger said.
“And that was not the case and not
intended to be.
“In this situation, this small group
of guerrillas had been located by the
El Salvador regulars. We helped
them with intelligence- And they
went in and in the course of a sweep
operation managed to be very effect
ing in killing and capturing several
members of this group. And this was
the group — they’re satisfied and
we’re satisfied — which had killed
the Marines in San Salvador.”
Asked then about the lack of U.S.
success in gaining the release of
seven Americans held in Lebanon,
Weinberger said the United States
was “getting a lot of information and
we are certainly going to follow it
and take any steps we can that will
effectively return the seven.

WASHINGTON — Scientists say
they have found genetic material
from hepatitis B viruses inside the
blood cells of AIDS patients infected
with the virus suspected of causing
that deadly disease, a finding that
strengthens a suspicion that other vi
ruses may play a role in triggering
AIDS in some cases.
Cooperative research by scientists
in France and the United States
found sequences of hepatitis B
DNA, the basic material of heredity,
inside the genetic material of the
white blood cells principally affected
by the AIDS virus, know as HTLV-
III or LAV.
In a report to be published Friday
in the journal Science, the research
ers said the findings bolster previous
work indicating other viruses, such
as hepatitis, cytomegalovirus and
Epstein-Barr virus, may be co-fac
tors in the AIDS process.
The research was conducied

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Almost
30,000 couples and individuals with
incomes above $250,000 paid little
or no federal income tax in 1983, the
Treasury Department said Thurs
day. The number included 3,170
who earned more than $1 million
apiece.
Of the 260,275 people whose in
comes exceeded $250,000 in that
year, slightly less than half —
121,850 — paid a tax rate of more
than 20 percent, a Treasury report
said. About 83,000 paid between 10
percent and 20 percent; 25,452 paid
between 5 percent and 10 percent
and 29,800 paid less than 5 percent.
As many as 306 people who
earned over $1 million may have
paid no tax. They were able to offset
all their earnings by claiming losses
from partnerships.
“Nearly 17,000 of the high-in
come returns with total positive in
come exceeding $250,000 owed less
than $6,272 in tax, the amount that a
typical four-person family with
$45,000 of income owed,” Treasury
said. “Fifteen hundred returns with .
. . income in excess of $1 million
owed less than $6,272.”
The report, based on a Treasury
study of 1983 tax returns, was re
leased by Rep. JJ. Pickle, Dies,
chairman of the House Ways
Means oversight subcommittee.
“If anybody had any doubtakt
the unfairness of our present
code, these figures should consin
them,” Pickle said in a statement.
Most of the high-income earir
relied on tax shelters, chiefly th
using a partnership arrangement
reduce their taxes. Other majorli
tors were the lower tax rate alio*
capital gains — which are pn
from the sale of assets — and
ability to use business losses ft
previous years to offset current)'
taxes.

NEW YORK — Until now, the
closest public television has come
to rock ’n’ roll has been the
Beatles — Boston Pops style. But
this fall the network of Tchai
kovsky, tuxedos and tutus is
wooing the MTV set with “Rocks-
chool.”
The eight-part series, examin
ing the theory and craft of popu
lar music with episodes called
“Equipment,” “Heavy Metal” and
“Funk,” will combine concert
clips from such artists as The
Who and The Police with inter
views and a how-to guide to play
ing the guitar and other instru
ments.
Some highlights, according to
David Thomas, the “Rockschool”
project director:
• Nile Rodgers, formerly of
the disco band Chic and currently
a producer for Mick Jagger and
Madonna, strumming a guitar
and recalling how he locked him
self in the bathroom as a kid so he
could keep practicing.
• Bootsy Collins, who used to
play with the group Parliament
Funkadelic, explaining funk mu
sic, while in another episode, sev
eral artists offer a technical trea
tise on reggae that shows why
“reggae feels like upside-down
music,” said Thomas.
• Larry Graham, from Sly and
the Family Stone and Graham
Central Station, demonstrating
the bass guitar and then joining
with some studio musicians for an
impromptu jam session.
“Rockschool” is more instruc
tional than MTV, which plays
’round-the-clock music videos.
“The idea is not to mimic MTV,”
Thomas said. “It’s a complement,
not a substitute, and that’s part of |
the appeal.”
For years, public TV has at
tracted pre-schoolers with “Ses
ame Street” and adults with “Mas
terpiece Theater,” but rarely the
in-between crowd that bops to
headsets at the local mall
watches TV very selectively.
“We’ve never done anything
like this before,” said Beth Pre- |
minger, director of audience
measurement at New York's
WNET, which bought “Rocks
chool” from the British Broad
casting Corp. for an Oct. 23 de
but.
As of this week, 60 PBS stations
— most from big cities — plan to
carry “Rockschool,” and WNET
expects about 40 more to sign on.
That means 200 stations will not
carry it, and some of those don’t
view “Rockschool” as suitable for
public TV.

crease scores for blacks on the SAT,
Nelson said. Blacks average 715 on
the SAT compared to 897 for
whites.
The committee also recom
mended that all high school students
be required to take the SAT or ACT.
Nelson said it is important to in
crease the number of blacks and his-
panics in colleges because of future
demographic changes in the state.
“You haven’t heard anybody talk
about the fact that the demography
of this state is going to shift,” he said.
Currently, 12 percent of the
state’s population is black, Nelson
said. By 1990 it is expected to bell
percent and by 2000 there will lx|
more blacks and hispanics
whites.
He said another problem foil
blacks in college is the lack ofblacil
teachers and couselors who act;
role models.
