WASHINGTON (AP) — Earn
ings at the nation’s commerical
banks are rebounding from the
worst year since the Depression in
every region of the country except
the Southwest, the government said
Tuesday.
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.
Seidman said the FDIC is nego
tiating with potential investors and

hoped to put First RepublicBank
back on its feet in the “reasonably
near future.”
Last year was the worst year since
the Depression for commercial
banks: 184 banks failed, a record
high, and banks as a whole earned
only $3.6 billion, a record low, as big
banks added to their reserves in an
ticipation of losses on loans to devel
oping countries.
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.

If they had, Brannigan said he

Earlier testimony indicated it was the

Earlier, Capt. Delroy Hire, who
performed the autopsy on Mirecki
and declared the death to be a homi

of procedure to send the sailor back
to training. Instructors at the school
were not told of the report about Mi

“I do not believe, under the cir

MOSCOW (AP) — Two Soviet

Alexander Alexandrov, 36,

Soyuz TM-5 space capsule lifted
off at 6:03 p.m. from the Baiko

The broadcast on state tele

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

Duarte undergoes cancer surgery
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sal
vadoran President Jose Napoleon
Duarte underwent three hours of
cancer surgery Tuesday in which
doctors removed tissue from his
stomach but left his diseased liver
alone.
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.
Following Duarte’s recupei;
tion from surgery, “this dta
will probably be treated with die
motnerapy,” the statement said
Duarte, 62, “tolerated thesw
gery well,” the statement said

was hospitalized May 31, wirtl

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.
Shamir leads the right-wing Li
kud bloc and opposes trading oc
cupied territory for peace. Ht
also rejects proposals for an inlet
national conference iDeludingtk
five permanent members of tli!
U.N. Security Council — theSO’
viet Union, United States, Chim
Britain and France.
Those two points are the base
of a U.S. peace plan for the Mb'
die East, which Secretary (
George P. Shultz has been pr?
moting in the region.
On Monday, Shamir saidlsraf
will not offer political concession!
for resumption of diplomatic rt
lations with Moscow.
“The Soviets keep hinting tha:
they will renew diplomatic rela
tions with us if we agree to thei:
proposal” for an internatiora
conference, Shamir said. “I don

Navy uses mines in anti-sub hunt
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP)
— The navy exploded a mine and
a depth charge Monday night
southeast of Stockholm as part of
an intensified effort to stop un
derwater intrusions by suspected
enemy mini-submarines, officials
said.
The use of the weapons was or

operated between Orno and Uto
islands. These two islands are lo

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.

Swedish navy would make con
