Peers commend teacher
for detaining triggerman
GREENWOOD, S.C. (AP) — A
teacher who was wounded while try
ing to stop a gunman during a fatal
shooting spree in an elementary
school, and then held the man for
dice, thinks about others before
erself, colleagues said.
An 8-year-old was killed and two
teachers and eight students were
wounded in Monday’s attack at Oak
land Elementary School.
“He seemed to be shooting people
who were screaming,” School Super
intendent Robert S. Watson said.
“The teacher said those who were
screaming or making noise, he shot
them.”
City Recorder Ted Windham
denied bond Tuesday for James Wil
liam Wilson, and retired state Su
preme Court Justice Bruce Little
john, acting as a special judge,
ordered Wilson to undergo psychiat
ric examination.
Relatives said Wilson, 19, had
been in and out of a hospital psychi
atric ward.
Police Chief James Coursey said
Tuesday that Wilson was charged
with murder and other charges were
being drawn up to be served after
the psychological evaluation. Solici
tor Townes Jones said his office will
consider pursuing the death penalty.
A 7-year-old who was shot in the
neck was returned to surgery Tues
day because of complications and
was in critical condition.
Coursey said Wilson walked
through the school’s front door
Monday morning, went to the cafe
teria and opened fire with a ,22-cali-
ber, nine-shot revolver, wounding
one teacher and three students.
He left the cafeteria and entered a
girl’ 5 ! restroom rn reload
Retired agent:
Inaccurate film
portrays Hearst
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A retired
FBI agent who helped capture kid
napped newspaper heiress Patty
Hearst said a new film based on her
autobiography inaccurately portrays
many events of the saga.
“Patty Hearst,” directed by Paul
Schrader, details how Hearst was ab
ducted in 1974 by the Symbionese
Liberation Army, was kept blind
folded in a closet for 57 ^days and
participated in a bank robbery and
other crimes. Hearst, who claimed
she had been brainwashed, spent
three years in custody before her
sentence was commuted. She is now
a housewife.
“I felt the movie was an apology
for Patty Hearst,” now retired FBI
agent Charles Bates, 68, said. “I’ve
talked to a lot of people who’ve com
mitted crimes. Everybody has an ex
cuse, but I still believe people have to
be responsible for their conscious
acts.”
In a telephone interview from his
Redwood City home, Bates said he
questioned how Hearst could know
how long she was kept blindfolded.
He compared her ordeal to prison
ers of war in Vietnam. “People were
held there for over five years, Bates
said.
“They were beaten and deprived,
and they didn’t break and go over to
the Viet Cong.”
He criticized a film sequence
showing uniformed San Francisco
police officers arresting Hearst. He
said it was actually plainclothes FBI
agents and a police detective who
captured her.
Physical education teacher Kat
Finkbeiner followed and tried to
prevent him from leaving the room,
Coursey said, but when they scuf fled
Finkbeiner was shot in the hand and
mouth.
Wilson got by Finkbeiner and
opened fire in a classroom, wound
ing five students and killing Shequila
Tawonn Bradley, Coursey said.
After emptying his pistol, Wilson
dropped it. Finkbeiner told him to
raise his hands and made him stay in
place until a police officer arrived,
the chief said.
Those who know Finkbeiner said
her action came as no surprise, Gay
McHugh, principal at Lakeview El
ementary School said, where Fink
beiner also teaches.
When she heard a physical educa
tion teacher had helped stop tht
gunman, she knew immediately ii
had to he her, McHugh said. “Sheii
always willing to go that extra mile,
she said.
Penny Dean, who used toteachai
Oakland, said Finkbeiner think
about others before herself
Dean said Finkbeiner really cares
about people. “Everything she does
she does with gusto,” she said.
Finkbeiner was in fair condition
Tuesday at Self Memorial Hospital
and has not yet talked with police,
spokesman Dan Branyon said. Asec
ond teacher was in good condition.
Superintendent Watson said he
knew of no connection between the
gunman and the school.
Taxes, one-liners
highlight Bush talk
Associated Press
George Bush courted the mid
dle class on Tuesday with a mod
est plan to allow small savers to
put something away for a rainy
day and defer taxes on the inter
est. Michael Dukakis criticized an
other Bush tax cut proposal as a
$40 billion giveaway for the rich.
The vice president got in the
snappiest one-liner of the cam
paign day when he told an audi
ence at Miami University in Ohio
that a current television show re
minds me of what interest rates
might be if the Democrats get
back in again. “It’s called ‘thirty-
something,’” he said.
The Democrats ridiculed right
back.
Asked what a Dan Quayle ad
ministration might look like,
Democratic vice presidential can
didate Lloyd Bentsen laughed
and said very exciting. Asked
later what he meant, Bentsen
laughed again and said, “I’ll leave
it at that.”
Republican vice presidential
candidate Dan Quayle cam
paigned in Bentsen’s home state
of Texas, where he challenged
Dukakis to resign his mem
bership in the American Civil
Liberties Union.
“Let him today resign from the
ACLU. Let him renounce all
their bizarre positions. Let him
make clear — no more waffling
and backsliding — that he no
longer supports the outrageous
stands that the ACLU takes,”
Quayle told a Houston rally of
Asian-Americans.
The two vice presidential can
didates are scheduled to debate
on Oct. 5 in Omaha, Neb., and
the jockeying for advantage was
already well under way.
Democrats have criticized
Quayle unsparingly during the
campaign, but in an apparent bid
to raise expectations about the In
diana senator’s debate perfor
mance, Bentsen characterized
him as a skillful debater.
“I think Dan Quayle is going to
do very well in the debate,” said
the Texas senator. He said
Quayle loves to debate on the
Senate floor and “I’m not so con
frontational.”
The vice president upgraded
his own self-evaluation in last
Sunday night’s debate with Duka
kis. "I feel better today about the
way ihe debate went than I did
the night of the debate." He
joked about the “handwringers"
on his staff who feared he would
“massively foul it up.”
Bush outlined his plan for a tax
break for low- and middle-in
come people in a speech in Co
lumbus, Ohio.
He called the program an indi
vidual savings account and said it
would help the nation gain better
control over our long-term eco
nomic f uture as well as help sav
ers put something away for a
rainy day.
One adviser said the tax de
ferred on interest the First year
on S1,000 would save roughly
$12 for a taxpayer in the 15 per
cent income tax bracket and
slightly more in later years.
Bush said the plan would allow
many Americans to lock up as
much as $1,000 a year — in
acounts of five years or more —
with federal income tax deferred.
-When withdrawn, the accumu
lated interest would be taxed at
the saver’s income tax rate then in
effect.
The tax break would be fully
available to taxpayers with ad
justed gross income of less than
$50,000 a year. It would grad
ually phase out until it disap
peared for someone with ad
justed gross income of $60,000.
Bush officials estimated the
program would benefit 8 million
Americans, at a cost to the Trea
sury about $70 million in 1989
and $550 million by 1993.
Dukakis renewed his attack in
an appearance in Peoria, 111., call
ing the capital gains cut a “five-
year, $40 billion giveaway to the
wealthiest Americans, people
making more than $200,000 a
year.”
The Democrat also depicted
Bush as no friend of Social Secu
rity and Medicare who cast a tie
breaking vote in the Senate seve
ral years ago in favor of a plan to
cut cost-of-living increases in fed
eral benefits for retirees.
“The first time George Bush
ran for the Senate he opposed
Medicare and called it ‘socialized
medicine,”’ Dukakis said. “The
first time George Bush ran for
president he called Social Secu
rity ‘basically a welfare pro
gram.’”
Financial advisers debate
outlook for U.S. economy
NEW YORK (AP) — One of the most thankless and
unrewarding positions to be in today is that of the fi
nancial adviser waiting for the recession.
It’s been a very long wait for some of them, and a
very costly experience for their customers. One of the
breed, for example, advised his clients to get out of the
stock market back in 1982, just before the bull charged.
While his clients thus lost out on some fantastic gains,
the investment adviser celebrated on Oct. 19, 1987, the
day of the big stock market crash, believing his views
were vindicated and his long wait made worthwhile.
Re-invigorated, his company then made the scenario
even more bleak and black, warning that interest rates
would soar, major banks would collapse, production
would cease, and a pall would descend over economic
America.
But it didn’t happen. Instead of falling into line with
his dictates and the pronouncements of his brethren,
the U.S. economy has grown sturdier since last year,
and even dedicated doomsayers now are losing their
patience.
What had sustained many of them through their
long, barren wait was the near certainty that economic
expansions have limited lives — that the very existence
of an expansion was reason enough to forecast a reces
sion. Each month, therefore, their conviction grew
stronger but, unfortunately, so did the stability of the
economy. And now, in spite of it nearing age 71
months, the economy is producing great doubts about
the recession scenario.
Sam Nagakama, a widely followed business econo
mist, is among those who have recently expressed the
notion that perhaps the count ry already has worked its
way through a problem period and may be ready forte-
newed expansion.
Broadly speaking, this is a thesis put forward by
economists such as Edward Yardeni of Prudential-
Bache Securities Inc. and Albert Sindlinger of Sind-
linger & Co., among others, but Nakagama gives it his
own particular touch.
As he views events, the oil price decline and the dol
lar’s depreciation helped the economy avoid recession
in mid-1986 while at the same time setting in motion a
new cyclical expansion.
Sindlinger went on record back in late 1986withan
argument that at least 31 states were in recession, no
matter what the national statistics showed. From dial
point on, he states, the economy has become much
stronger.
Yardeni, who has challenged the conventional think
ing at every opportunity in the past year, provides an
insight into how the economy can continue to grow
while, in the view of many, it is at the limit of its capac
ity.
He describes two scenarios that are held clear by the
“end of cycle crowd.”
1. If the economy continues to grow, oddsarethat
unemployment will fall below 5 percent. Labor shorl-
ages will boost wage inflation. Higher inflation will
push interest rates to levels that ultimately triggerreces-
sion.
2. If the economy continues to grow, capacity utiliza
tion rates will rise and so will prices. Again, higher infla
tion will push interest rates to levels that ultimatelytrig-
ger recession.
