In Southern California, a third day of sizzling heat over 100 degrees drove people to the beaches. An estimated 1 million people flocked to beaches to avoid the heat and seek Labor Day fun. Thousands swarmed to the third annual Railroad Days celebration at Topeka, Kan. It is an observance of the role the Santa Fe and Union Pacific played in the city’s history. Tickets were sold out weeks in ad vance for rides on a 1940s vintage train to the little town of Scranton, 20 miles southwest of Topeka. Michigan also was a magnet for presidential politics as the candi dates skipped to rallies and parades across the country. Democrat Michael Dukakis ad dressed a rally that followed De troit’s three-hour Labor Day parade. Republican Dan Quayle planned to ride in the Polish Day parade at Hamtramck, a Polish Detroit en clave. George Bush stumped in vote- rich southern California. His day of campaigning included stops in San Diego, at Disneyland as part of a parade honoring Olympic athletes, and at a traditional Labor Day picnic with Los Angeles police officers and their families. Dukakis also appeared in Phila delphia and headed for St. Louis. It also was a day for protests. In Denver, a group of disabled people in wheelchairs blocked exits and entrances at the Greyhound Bus Terminal to call attention to the needs of the disabled in areas includ ing transporation. “While Jerry Lewis is raising money for ‘his kids,’ we will be out fighting for our rights,” the Rev. Wade Blank, said. In Newport, Ky., the six police of ficers who were scheduled to work Monday morning called in sick, ap parently because of a dispute over wages, Mayor Steve Goetz said. Some people had to spend Labor Dav laboring. “It doesn’t bother me at all,'Jo Riot dan, wine manager at a liqin store in Boston’s Allston sectioi said. “In this business, nobody’sci today.” In tlie West, forest fires interfere with Labor Day traditions for son outdoorsmen. Yellowstone National Park v full of smoke. Closed roads and campgrouno were prevalent in the forest are; some public forests closed, and it governors of Montana and l't asked people to voluntarily stay of the tinder-dry woods. “While Jerry Lewis is rais ing money for his kids/ we will be out fighting for our rights. ” — the Rev. Wade Blank 1 The rides were to commemorate the first leg of the AT&SF as it was built toward Santa Fe last century. “It’s just been fantastic,” said Marge Schnacke, of Topeka, one of the organizers of the event. The Railroad Days celebration also featured antique cars and loco motives, as well as carnival. Michigan Gov. James Blanchard led about 45,000 people who marched the five miles along the Mackinac Bridge. The bridge connects Michigan’s two peninsulas. Blanchard finished the walk in an hour and four minutes, a minute faster than his 1987 time. Fellow Democrat Jesse Jackson derided Bush and Quayle as “rich young rulers” in a New York City speech. Lawrence, Mass., held its Fourth Annual Bread and Roses Heritage Day Festival. The celebration, marked by a pa rade and concerts by the folk group Odetta, Christine Lavin and others, commemorates the Great Strie of 1912 against textile mills, also known as the Bread and Roses Strike. Labor Day’s role as the traditional end to the summer season was evi denced in Maine. In this northern state, south bound traffic reached more than 3,400 vehicles an hour on the Maine Turnpike as vacationers left the state. The weekend-long Rock ‘A’ Rama in downtown Philadelphia cele brated the fads, music and food of the 1950s. Jerry Lee Lewis, Chubby Checker, Ben E. King, Carl Perkins, the Shan- gri-Las and others were on the week end’s entertainment schedule. FBI arrests Texan for ’87 cop killing BOSTON (AP) — A suspect in the October 1987 murder of one Boston Police officer and the wounding of another was arrested in Mexico fol lowing a year-long search, FBI agents said Monday. Investigators had followed the trail of Ted Jeffrey Otsuki, one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives, from Boston to California and fi nally to Guadalajara, Mexico, where Otsuki was arrested late Sunday, Neil Gallagher, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston office said. Extradition proceedings were un der way Monday afternoon and Gal lagher said he was hoping to get him out immediately. Police officers and federal agents traveled to South Texas last week to follow up leads in the case, James F. Ahearn, the special agent in charge of the Boston FBI bureau said. “We developed information that he was probably in a part of Mexico, we decided to operate out of a base down there,” Ahearn said. Officials said Otsuki was arrested without incident as he returned to his condominium late last night. In addition to the police shooting, Otsuki faces charges in connection with the unlawful possession of ex plosives outlined in a federal war rant issued out of San Francisco, fe lonious possession of a firearm, interstate flight to avoid prosecution and parole violations, Gallagher said. Otsuki, a Brownsville, Texas, na tive was on parole after serving a prison sentence for robbing a Texas bank when he allegedly shot detec tive Roy J. Sergei, 42, and rookie of ficer Jorge Torres in Boston, Gal lagher said. On Oct. 2, 1987, two Boston po lice officers had stopped a suspect at about 1 a.m. after they caught him trying to climb a fence behind a building in the city’s Back Bay sec tion. While the 35-year-old suspect was being taken into custody, police say he reached inside his pocket and fired a 9mm pistol through his coat, striking Torres once in the chest and once in the left arm. The suspect fled through an alley where he was confronted by Sergei and his partner. He fired again, striking Sergei in the chest, buttocks and right arm. Boston Police obtained a murder warrant for Otsuki after Sergei, who was recovering from his wounds at Brigham and Women’s hospital, died of a heart attack on October 26. An autopsy reportedly concluded that Sergei’s heart attack resulted from an embolism directly related to his wounds. Torres, who was 21 at the time of the shooting, recovered from his wounds. During the year-long search, in vestigators traced Otsuki to San Francisco, where police discovered two pipe bombs in a downtown stor age area that Otsuki was renting. The bombs were dismantled and no one was injured. Is this you at test time? Cramming won’t help. Associated Reading Centers can double your reading rate in one hour.

Whitener, MA Lotto ticket holder remains unknown LONGWOOD, Fla. (AP) — The winner of the record $54 million-plus Lotto game remains a mystery, but the mayor of this town where the -winning ticket was sold has already claimed some credit. “It might put Longwood on the map now,” Mayor David Gunter said Sunday. “Whether they just bought the ticket here or whether they live here, it means a lot to a community like this. “We’re going to take the credit. It feels good.” The winning ticket for Satur day night’s game, whose jackpot was a North American record, was purchased in this bedroom community 18 miles northeast of Orlando, said Lottery Secretary Rebecca Paul at a news confer ence in Miami Beach. She did not identify the vendor who sold the ticket with the winning numbers 3-5-19-20-27-35. The frenzy of lottery-ticket buying here poured over to other states, including New York, where one winning ticket was f urchased for Saturday night’s 23 million jackpot, and Illinois, where holders of four winning tickets will split $21 million. The previous North American record jackpot, $51.4 million, was shared by two California lottery players in June. A Pennsylvania couple had the largest single lottery they prize won $46 until non million in B P ticket when 1987. The new Florida millionaire- or millionaires, if several persons shared the ticket — get 180 dav to claim the prize. 1 he earliesti can l>e claimed is Tuesday, after Labor Day. The prize will lx? doled oui ; over 20 years. The state loiien withholds 20 percent of large f payouts for federal income taxes, although actual federal taxes owed could lie higher. Florida has no state income tax. Splitting a $54 million payout into 20 installments, and deduct ing 20 percent, would bring die annual check to $2.16 million. Officials h ad estimated Satur day's jackpot at $52 million, bui the last-minute frenzy of sales that sometimes topped 850 tickets a second raised the total to $51 million. It could be even larger, depending on final sales figures. Saturday sales totaled 1-1.6mil lion tickets, and total weekly pur chases were 44.78 million. Players had turned to psychics, gimmicks and other formulas to beat the 14 million-to-1 odds of picking the six winning digits out of 49. Until Saturday, there hadn't been a winner since Aug. 6. Thai boosted the jackpot with each passing week. BA1 Barefc lions o desh, c onto tl above officer The light r; pots.
