(AP) — Evan gelist Jim Bakker, who in 1984 bought a Palm Springs home while continuing televised pleas to get his PTL ministry out of debt, had amassed at least $500,000 in real es tate and cars in recent years, records show. It was unclear Tuesday what hold ings Bakker and his wife will keep now that Bakker has turned his tele vision ministry over to the Rev. Jerry Falwell. Bakker resigned as president of PTL last week, saying he had been blackmailed after a sexual encounter seven years ago. In a videotaped statement Monday, Bakker said the sex scandal was the beginning of a “diabolical plot” to take over the ministry, which reported $129 mil lion in revenues last year. Bakker has not said how his resig nation will affect his assets, and re peated calls to PTL’s vice president for public relations, Neil Eskelin, were not returned Tuesday. Since his resignation, Bakker and his wife, Tammy, have been in seclu sion in his Palm Springs, Calif., home, one of the two he owns out- right. PTL — which stands for Praise the Lord or People That Love — also provided two other homes for the evangelist, including a Flor ida condominium. The Bakkers bought the Palm Springs home for $449,000 in 1984, saying they used their own money. The same year, Bakker bought a new Mercedes-Benz for $45,003 and a 1953 Rolls Royce for $55,000 while telling viewers PTL owed $5 million to television stations carrying the program. Mrs. Bakker said in an Aug. 1, 1984, telecast that PTL supporters must pay the bills for the organiza tion. “Jim and I can’t,” she said. “We’ve given everything we have. And liter ally we have given everything. I have offered to sell everything I own be cause things don’t really mean that much when it comes to getting the gospel of Jesus Christ out. But if I sold every single thing I owned, Jim, it would probably keep us on the air one more day.” “Oh, no,” Bakker responded, “It wouldn’t be that long.” The Bakkers told viewers in Octo ber 1984 that they bought the Cali fornia home with their own money for vacations and retirement. Last fall, the Bakkers bought and began renovations on a $148,500 mountainside home overlooking Gatlinburg, Tenn. Renovations to V the 2,300-square-foot home were projected to cost $35,500. The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer re- ported last November that when Bakker bought the Tennessee prop- erty, he said he planned to sell the >• California home. Lawyer says Swaggart tried takeover bid NEW YORK (AP) — TV evangel- ist Jim Bakker’s lawyer accused rival; preacher Jimmy Swaggart on Tues- ' day of masterminding a bid to take : over Bakker’s $172 million PTL em- pire. “Last night Jim Swaggart came *•- out of his cave or the high grass or < wherever he was hiding and identi- ‘ fied himself to the Charlotte Ob- / server as the man that Roy Grutman had in his mind,” Bakker’s lawyer, Norman Roy Grutman, said at a news conference in New York. “Now that Jimmy Swaggart identi- fied himself, I will not deny Jim Swaggart was that man,” he said. When Bakker stepped down as T head of the 500,000-member PTL ministry last week, he accused a rival of seeking to usurp the organization by exposing the fact that Bakker had an extramarital encounter seven years ago and paid blackmail to cover it up. Swaggart, president of Jimmy ! Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge, La., was in Los Angeles preparing for a weekend crusade and was not immediately available to comment on Grutman’s latest accusations. But in an interview with the Char lotte (N.C.) Observer published Tuesday Swaggart had said, “I’m to- l tally aghast because nothing like that y has ever been considered, thought ' of or remotely engaged in.” Swaggart, who has feuded in the ’• past with Bakker, denied any at- j tempt to take over the PTL, saying “that would be the last thing in the world I would ever want.” New cancer therapy gives hope to victims of fatal brain tumors SAN DIEGO (AP) — A new form of therapy is providing “some hope” for the first time for victims of the most common form of brain cancer, which until now has been relendessly fatal, a researcher says. Doctors are unsure whether they have cured anyone with the new ap proach, but 44 of their 60 patients are still alive long after such victims usually die. The patients were treated at an advanced stage of their disease, when the expected survival is 14 weeks. But some are apparently free of disease more than two years later. The therapy uses a newly devel oped technique to rally the body’s own immune defenses to fight can cer. In this case, it’s being used to at tack brain tumors called gliomas. Dr. Deane Brunton Jacques and colleagues began using the treat ment in February 1985 at the Hunt ington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena, Calif. He described his results at an American Cancer So ciety meeting underway this week. “It’s not a panacea,” he said. “It’s highly experimental. But in a disease that’s heretofore been 100 percent fatal, at least for the first time there’s some hope for these people.” The approach, called adoptive im munotherapy, uses the patient’s white blood cells as the primary as sault against cancer. The white cells are separated from the blood and grown for 10 days in interleukin-2, one of the body’s natural chemical weapons against disease. This seems to stimulate the white cells to fight the cancer. All of the patients have failed to respond to surgery and radiation. When their cancers recur, surgeons remove as much of the tumors as they can, then fill up the resulting cavity with a mixture of the activated white cells and blood plasma. Fourth Disney theme park to open by 4992 in France PARIS (AP) — Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom are coming to Europe, under a contract Premier Jacques Chirac signed Tuesday for a $2 billion Disney theme park outside Paris. The world’s fourth Disney park is to open in 1992 on a 4,400-acre site in rural Marne-la-Vallee, 20 miles east of Paris. French officials say it will create 30,000 new jobs and should draw about 10 million visitors a year. “We think France is the ideal country to welcome Eurodisney- land,” Michael D. Eisner, president of the Walt Disney Co., said at the signing ceremony. In French, he told reporters, “It is difficult to imagine a country richer in artistic traditions. It is as respect ful beneficiaries of this cultural rich ness that we come to France.” Chirac told a news conference the venture marked the first time France signed a contract with a pri vate foreign company for a project on French soil, “but I’m sufe it will be a great success because it’s Disney Co. and France.” The French nego tiators, sensitive to inroads on their culture, won what they consider im portant concessions from the Walt Disney company aimed at guar anteeing a French and European fla vor to the theme park. Negotiations took nearly two years. Jean-Rene Bernard, negotia tor for the French government, said he estimates Eurodisneyland will contribute $500 million a year to France’s gross domestic product. Eurodisneyland is to include 13,500 hotel rooms, camping grounds, sports facilities and a large commercial complex spread through five villages. Total cost could go as high as $7.5 billion, with the first phase to be completed in 1992 and other themes to be com pleted in 1995, officials said. Like the world’s three other Dis neyland theme parks, the cen terpiece of Eurodisneyland will be the Magic Kingdom dominated by a huge Cinderella castle and pop ulated by familiar Disney characters. “The Disney culture . . . will be brought to France intact, but it will be different in that it will respect French culture,” Eisner said.
