May economic indicators up slightly
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
government’s main economic fore
casting gauge crept up 0.2 percent in
May, far below the increases of the
previous three months, the Com
merce Department said Tuesday.
The tiny advance in the depart
ment’s Index of Leading Indicators
followed a giant 1.3 percent gain in
April, the largest in almost three
years, and robust increases of 0.6
percent in March and 1 percent in
February.
Private analysts said the May slow
down was accurately signaling that
the economy is not going to be as
strong in the second half of the year
as had been expected.
They said a rising jobless rate,
sharp cutbacks in oil and gas drilling
and other weaknesses were pushing
the long-awaited rebound further
into the future.
Jerry Jasinowski, chief economist
for the National Association of Man
ufacturers, said, “The anemic May
leading indicators are another sign
that the expected rebound in the
second half may not happen. The
economy appears to be getting
weaker, not stronger.”
Other analysts noted that the big
gains in the leading index in the pre
vious three months came from
strength in the financial sector,
which overshadowed continued
weakness in manufacturing.
Commerce Secretary Malcolm
Baldrige said most of the growth in
the index this year has come from
gains in the stock market and expan
sion of the money supply, while or
ders for business equipment and
consumer goods have been weak.
The Reagan administration is pre
dicting that the economy, as mea
sured oy the gross national product,
will expand at a robust 4 percent
rate this year, almost double
year’s weak 2.2 percent increase.
But private forecasters have lx
come more pessimistic in receti
months, given the severity of cm
backs in the energy industry becaust
of falling oil prices and no im-i
provement in the country’s hup
foreign trade deficits.
David Berson, economist at Whar
ton Econometrics, said it is non
likely that the economy will limL ■ •

Weinberger requests
SDI fund restoration
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense
Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger,
renewing his defense of the Penta-
gon’s fiscal 1987 budget request
Tuesday, announced a “very note
worthy achievement” in the Star
Wars research program.
Addressing his first general news
conference in five months, Wein
berger opened with a prepared
statement in which he focused par
ticular emphasis on the Star Wars
program, known formally as the
Strategic Defense Initiative, and its
budget. The Senate Armed Services
Committee recently voted 10-9 to
slash more than $1 billion from the
Pentagon’s fiscal 1987 request for
that program and to restructure its
goals.
Weinberger criticized both moves
as improper and asserted that the
Senate panel was endangering the
“noble purpose” of Star Wars at a
time when the research was begin
ning to bear fruit.
He then disclosed an experiment
last Friday at the White Sands Mis
sile Range in New Mexico, during
which he said a small hypersonic
missile had successfully destroyed a
target moving more than three times
the speed of sound.
The test marked the first time that
the missile had been fired at a mov
ing target and used its on-board
guidance system to track and then
destroy the target by direct impact,
Weinberger said.
The Senate committee also voted
to recommend that President Rea
gan change the emphasis of Star
Wars to focus on the defense of
America’s nuclear arsenal instead of
protecting the entire country and
U.S. allies.
AIDS patients, researchers
say victims need test drugs
WASHINGTON (AP) — Re
searchers and AIDS patients told
Congress Tuesday they welcome a
government program to test drugs
on 1,000 victims but said much
larger numbers of people with the
deadly disease should get experi
mental medicines.
“I am unable to secure any experi
mental drugs that might, in fact,
prolong my life,” an AIDS patient
who identified himself only as “John
Smith” told the House Government
Operations human resources sub
committee.
“While we sit here and talk about
whether these drugs should be made
available, people are dying, and I am
one of those people,” he added.
A government program an
nounced Monday to begin testing
drugs on AIDS victims will add
1,000 people to the 3,000 that are al
ready receiving experimental drugs.
But even then, only one third of all
12,000 victims will be helped in their
battle with AIDS, for which there is
no known effective treatment.
“It is a national tragedy that so
few patients are now in controlled
trials” of anti-viral drugs, said Dr.
Martin Hirsch of Massachusetts
General Hospital, He added that
AIDS patients will go to great,
usually illegal, lengths to get the
drugs.
Public Health Service officials
who picked the 14 medical centers to
receive $100 million for the five-year
drug testing program, conceded that
more money could be spent effecti
vely on the research effort.
“We probably could do some
more,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, di
rector of the National Institute
Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

NEW YORK (AP) — The pace
quickened Tuesday in New York
Harbor as more tall ships arrived
and workers strained to complete
work on the Statue of Liberty be

The aircraft carrier John F.
Kennedy was guided into the har
bor and dropped anchor near
Liberty Island. It will be a floating

dia during the centennial obser
vances.
Two groups vowed to hold vig
ils in view of the national land
mark to protest Reagan adminis
tration policies toward the poor
and homeless.
President Reagan is scheduled

ting momentum Tuesday as late

nave whetted investors’ appetites
for stocks.
No roadblocks for Oregon, Michigan
Police will block roads to catch
drunken drivers over the Fourth
of July weekend in some states,
but not in Oregon and Michigan,
where courts recently ruled that
the tactic was unconstitutional.
In Michigan, Wayne County
Circuit Judge Michael R. Stacey
issued a permanent injunction on
June 24, saying police check lanes
violated Fourth Amendment
guarantees against unlawful
searches. The state has not de
cided whether to appeal.

Judge grants delay for serial killer
Bundy’s execution blocked
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)
— A federal judge Tuesday refused
to grant serial killer Theodore R.
Bundy a lengthy reprieve, but
blocked his scheduled Wednesday
electrocution for 24 hours to give
him time to take his case to an ap
peals court in Atlanta.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge
William Zloch delayed the execution
until 7 a.m. Thursday, five hours be
fore Bundy’s second death warrant
for the murders of two sorority sis
ters would expire. The appeals court
was expected to take up the case this
morning.
Bundy, a 39-year-old law school
dropout, was convicted of strangling
two young women as they slept in
the Chi Omega sorority house on the
Florida State University campus in
Tallahassee. Prosecutors said he beat
those two sorority sisters and two
others with a tree branch, seriously
injuring the survivors, then broke
into a nearby home and beat another
woman.
Bundy also was convicted of mur
dering a 12-year-old schoolgirl who
was abducted from her school, and
has been linked by the FBI to as
many as 36 killings of young women
and girls, mostly in the Northwest.
The handsome, articulate Bundy,
whose case was recently the subject
of a television movie starring Mark
Harmon, was being kept in a death-
watch holding cell at the state prison
in Starke, a few feet from the pris
on’s oak electric chair where Florida
has executed 16 men since 1979.
Department of Corrections
spokesman Vernon Bradford said
when he saw Bundy on Tuesday
morning, “he appeared to be ner
vous, which I guess is pretty natural.
It was his eyes more than anything
else that made me think he was ner
vous.
Bradford said Carole Boone, who
married Bundy while he was on trial,
visited her husband Tuesday with
her son from a previous marriage.
Zloch first rejected the request for
a six-month stay, then huddled with
lawyers from both sides and granted
the 24-hour delay so Bundy’s legal
team could take the case to the 11th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Assistant Attorney General Gre
gory Costas said, “The 24-hoursia'
would still allow the carrying outol
the execution.” He called Zloch’s
ing “an extension” rather than a
because the death warrant remained
in effect.
Bundy’s attorneys, James E. Cole
man and Polly Nelson, earlier hai
said both they and their condemned
client were confident the execution
would be blocked.
The lawyers had turned tofede
court after losing appeals Monda
before the state circuit judge wb
sentenced him to death and beta 1
the state Supreme Court.
Bundy and Stano declined m
media interviews Tuesday.
