The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said the 13,541 banks it in sures collectively earned $5 billion in the first three months of this year, down somewhat from $5.3 billion in the same period in 1987. However, earnings would have hit a new record high if not for the huge $1.49 billion loss at a single Dallas bank holding company, FDIC Chair man L. William Seidman said. Banks’ first quarter losses in the Southwest totaled $1.64 billion, 90 percent of that from First Republic- Bank Corp. The FDIC has already pumped $1 billion into First RepublicBank, Texas’ largest banking organization, and may have to spend another $1 billion to attract a buyer.

Banks this year are continuing to fail at the 1987 rate. Seventy-five had closed their doors as of last Fri day, 32 of them in Texas. But otherwise Seidman painted a generally optimistic picture for 1988. The number of banks on the FDIC’s problem list has dropped be low 1,500 for the first time in two years, he said. There were 1,491 such institutions at the end of March, compared with a peak above 1,600 in mid-1987. The big money-center banks have written off about 25 percent to 30 percent of their Third World loans and that alone was responsible for much of last year’s depressed earn ings. Those reserve levels still look reasonable, he said. Prospects are also looking up for banks in the Midwest, a region where banks were affected by hard times on the farm. The percentage of Midwest banks reporting losses fell from 13.5 percent in the first quarter a year ago to only 7.6 per cent this year. Even in the Southwest there is reason for hope, Seidman said. Twenty-seven percent of the banks in the region lost money in the first Federal regulators try limiting toxins in U.S. workplaces WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Tuesday proposed re ducing workplace exposure limits for 234 toxic chemicals and bringing 168 others under government regu lation in what was called the largest action of its type ever taken. In making the announcement, the Occupational Safety and Health Ad ministration estimated the proposed regulations would reduce job-re lated fatalities among some 17 mil lion workers now exposed to the chemicals by 500 a year and illnesses by another 55,000 annually from cancer, respiratory, cardiovascular and liver and kidney diseases. Approximately 3.6 million work ers are now exposed to concentra tions of the chemicals above the pro posed new ceilings, OSHA officials said. They estimated the cost to in dustry of meeting the new standards at $900 million a year. OSHA officials said immediate compliance with most of the pro posed standards could be achieved through the use of personal respira tors. However, they added that the agency envisions requiring the adop tion of more expensive engineering controls such as ventilation systems within four years. Pendergrass said approval of the regulations could come as early as next November. “This is a 20-year technological leap that brings the country’s basic occupational health regulations up to date,” John A. Pendgergrass, OSHA administrator, said. “The “There’s a widespread consensus that many of these chemicals are among the most hazardous,” he said. “We expect to have support from management, labor, the health and safety professional communities and our companion agencies in the fed eral government. However, Pendergrass acknowl edged there is likely to be opposition to many of the changes in hearings that the agency has to conduct on the 400-page proposal. project is the most significant work place exposure action taken by OSHA in its 17-year history.” The OSHA plan calls for reduced exposure limits for widely used chemicals such as chloroform, car bon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and trichlorethylene. Employers would be required to meet the new standards six months after the final regulations are ap proved. anything wit expectation of being sued,” he said. “However, I will admit we have al most a perfect record (at being sued).” The proposal sets limits on a total of 428 chemicals. It lowers the limits on 234 substances already subject to federal regulation and sets exposure ceilings for the first time on 168 other chemicals. Current exposure limits would be reaffirmed for 25 more chemicals, and a 10-fold increase in the expo sure limit would be allowed for one — fluorine — based on recent data.

The “I didn’t realize, just like the doc tor didn’t realize, that a student would be made to continue training after he asked to quit,” Brannigan testified. If they had, Brannigan said he was sure Navradszky would not have allowed Mirecki to resume training. Earlier testimony indicated it was the school’s policy to require a student to complete a drill if he tried to drop out during the exercise. Earlier, Capt. Delroy Hire, who performed the autopsy on Mirecki and declared the death to be a homi cide, testified it was a major breach of procedure to send the sailor back to training. Instructors at the school were not told of the report about Mi recki’s phobia, records showed. i “I do not believe, under the cir cumstances, he should have been put back in the water,” Hire said. Also Monday, a Navy spokesman denied an NBC News report, citing Pentagon records, that one of the ac cused, Petty Officer 2nd Class John W. Zelenock, had failed to meet in structor qualifications because of a below-minimum evaluation and a disciplinary problem. World briefs wo-yea uced Soviets air first shuttle flight of '88 MOSCOW (AP) — Two Soviet cosmonauts and a Bulgarian soa rocketed into space Tuesday on the first manned flight of 1988 aired on live television, courtesy of Mikhail S. Gorbachev and “glasnost.” Alexander Alexandrov, 36, from the Bulgarian town of Omurtag, had waited more than nine years for the flight. The Soyuz TM-5 space capsule lifted off at 6:03 p.m. from the Baiko nur Cosmodrome in Soviet Cen tral Asia. The broadcast on state tele vision showed flames spewing from a Vostok rocket booster to lift the capsule into a nearly cloudless blue sky. “I feel excellent," Alexandrov said from inside the capsule sec onds after the launch. The shot, in black and white, showed him cramped quarters. About two minutes into ik flight, the first stage of lk booster dropped away andphr meted toward Earth.

Dr. Benjamin Interiano, Duarte’s personal physician, said the operation determined that the Salvadoran leader’s cancer is terminal. “That is going to end the life of President Duarte,” Interiano said, referring to the spread of cancer to the liver. He said the av erage life expectancy for some one in Duarte’s condition is six months. Doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center said the surgical team which performed the ex ploratory laparotomy, as the op eration is known, excised thedii j eased portion of Duartu stomach. “There was metastatic dta present in both lobes of the live and this was not removed," tki statement said.

Soviet, Israel leaders plan meeting UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel will hold his first meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Edu ard Shevardnadze on Thursday, an Israeli spokesman said. Genine Stauber said no exact time and place for the meeting had been set. The Soviet Union broke diplo matic relations after the 1967 Middle East war but appears to be departing from its policy of not restoring them until the Israelis give up Arab territories occupied in the war. Kremlin leader Mikhail S. Gor bachev has indicated in several recent speeches that the Soviet Union might resume normal rela tions after an international peace conference on the Middle East is convened.

The use of the weapons was or dered to commence after indica tions that a foreign submarine operated between Orno and Uto islands. These two islands are lo cated in the vicinity off of Swe den’s main east, coast naval base at Musko. Musko is close to 19 miles southeast of Stockholm. A mine was exploded in the same area a week ago for the same reasons. Since the first mine was exploded, military prepared ness has been high. The only comment that the Swedish navy would make con cerning the explosions was tM the search continued.
