In a final document of recom mendations to be presented to Pope John Paul II and in a separate mes sage addressed to the world, the bishops spoke in mostly general terms of the role of women in the Roman Catholic church. “When you have to say something which will pull from every culture, it has to be couched in terms that are very general,” Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, Wis., said in a news conference. U.S. bishops and prelates from other countries told the in general sessions that the church should take specific steps to give women a greater role. Archbishop John May of St. Louis, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, last week there was a “strong consensus” at the synod that all non-ordained ministries be open to women. Under church law, women are not permitted to serve in these positions. But in the United States and some other countries women sometimes carry out those functions informally, without official installation. The recommendations were in cluded in a first draft document pre pared last week, but they were elimi nated from a second draft this week and did not appear in the final re port approved Thursday. Journal ists obtained the documents, which were meant to be confidential. The final recommendations said women should have greater partici pation in church decision-making, including preparation of pastoral documents. They also include Weak- land’s suggestion that the church en sure that the language of its texts and documents do not discriminate against women. A Vatican official attending the synod said the proposals on women in non-ordained ministries were blocked by a “vast majority” in the small working groups that met over the weekend to revise the first draft. Mexican market loses almost half its value during month of trade MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican stock exchange has plunged more than 180,000 points in the last month, losing about half its value in selling as dizzying as the buying that made it one of the world’s top performers. The stocK market, attracting all kinds of investors hoping to make quick gains, was caught in the wave of selling that has swept interna tional financial markets. “The market was overheated,” said a prominent trading analyst who spoke on condition he not be identified. “Almost anything would have caused it to fall.” The Index of Prices and Quota tions, the gauge of activity in the Mexican stock exchange, reached a high of 373,216.24 on Oct. 6, a spec tacular gain of 692 percent since the end of last year. It tumbled to 183,662.14 Tues day, plunging 50.8 percent from its high point and leaving the index at the level of early July. It recovered a bit of ground Wednesday, gaining nearly 3 per cent to close at 188,781.73. The index is made up of the prices of the stocks of 52 major Mex ican companies. Government officials have urged investors to .be calm. Treasury Secre tary Gustavo Petricioli warned inves tors last week that those selling in panic would lose money. His advice wtent unheeded. Fresh, sharp falls shook the market again this week. The market began its spectacular growth last year, soaring a record 321 percent to rank as one of the world’s top gainers. Increase in fatalities caused by alcohol has officials worried WASHINGTON (AP) — Alcohol- related traffic deaths are increasing after years of steady decline, raising concern the campaign against drink ing and driving may be losing mo mentum, especially among young motorists, a researcher said Thurs day. The statistics from 32 states showed a 7 percent increase last year in the number of deaths among driv ers who were legally intoxicated and a similar increase in the number of single-vehicle nighttime fatalities. Both categories traditionally have been used as key indicators of alco hol-related traffic deaths. Professor Ralph Hingson, chief of social and behavioral sciences at Bos ton University’s School of Public Health, said “Even though you can’t put it all together, the indicators seem to be going in the same (up ward) direction. It’s reason for con cern.” Hingson analyzed U.S. Transpor tation Department traffic statistics in a recent paper suggesting there was a significant reversal in 1986 in the trend toward fewer alcohol-related traffic fatalities. “We need to be concerned about whether public attention to the (drunken driving) problem has di minished,” Hingson said in a tele phone interview. The statistics prompting Hing- son’s attention come from the 32 states that perform comprehensive alcohol testing on drivers killed in traffic accidents. Those statistics show that 5,211 le gally intoxicated drivers were killed last year, compared with 4,884 the previous year, an increase of 7 per cent. Utah couple gets custody of young Novojo Indian boy WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) — A Utah couple will become perma nent guardians of a 10-year-old Na vajo boy under an agreement with the boy’s mother, ending a five-year- old custody fight, a lawyer for the couple said Thursday. “We’re going to be hammering out the terms of the stipulation,” said Robert Ericson, an attorney for Daniel and Patricia Carter, of Span ish Fork, Utah. Ericson said the agreement would include visitation rights for Cecelia Saunders of lyan- bito, N.M., the biological mother. “There will be intricacies in the guardianship” concerning Michael Carter — born as Jeremiah Hallo way — which Ericson said he could not disclose immediately. Attorneys reached the agreement Thursday afternoon and began put ting it into writing to present to Judge Calvin Yazzie of the Navajo Tribal Childrens’ Court. Earlier, Saunders’ legal advocate, Leonard Tsosie, left one of the courthouse rooms and flashed a thumbs-up sign, saying, “Yeah, it’s over. It’s settled.” Moments later, the Carters left courthouse room. As a red-eyed Mrs. Carter smiled, her husband said, “She’s still not real happy.” Earlier, legal advocates for the two sides shuttled back and forth be tween courthouse rooms after Saun ders and her husband, Arthur, and the Carters drove about 25 miles to Gallup, N.M., to talk with the boy and bring him back to court to speak to the judge. The boy smiled as he walked into the courthouse Thursday afternoon. Before going to Gallup, the Car ters and Saunders sat at the front of the courtroom and spoke alone for about 20 minutes. Saunders was 18, unmarried and unemployed at the time she had the child. The boy was turned over to the Carters in 1980 by an older aunt of Saunders, who signed a consent form for adoption that year but re scinded it in 1982. The tribe intervened in 1982, but a Utah judge authorized the adop tion by the Carters in early 1985. A federal court voided the adopdon.
