Rescuers said that even if everything went as planned, it would be at least Wednesday night before they could get the whales as far as the ridge. While high-technology equipment poured into Barrow during the weekend, Eskimos using chain saws and strong backs made the most progress at freeing the California gray whales from a tiny breathing hole.

(close to campus) About two dozen natives hacked 34 breathing holes Saturday, for a total of about 60 holes extending more than 1 ‘/a miles from where three whales were stranded by moving ice about two weeks ago before they could migrate south. The smallest and youngest of the whales, named Bone, disappeared Fri day night and is presumed dead. Just as the tedious hole-cutting hit its stride, the whales balked, advancing only a few hundred feet past a large opening where they spent Friday night and most of Saturday. Rescuers said they feared the whales were spooked by an underwater shoal. North Slope Borough biologist Geoff Carroll said most of the water in the area is about 20 feet deep, compared to only 12 or 13 feet of water in the shoal. “You figure two feet of ice and five feet of whale, and that doesn’t leave them too much room to swim,” Carroll said. “I don’t blame them for not want ing to go through there. ’ ’ Whaling captain Arnold Brower, whose crew used donated chain saws to help free the animals, was frustrated by the whales’ reluctance. “If we move them, then I’ll call it pro gress,” Brower said, leaning down to push the snout of a surfacing whale in the direction he wanted it to go.

(AP) — A state paternity survey that asks for intimate details of a welfare mother’s sex life is so intrusive it’s offensive, a legal aid lawyer says. One federal official said such surveys arc discouraged. Human Services Department officials confirm that the sur vey asks women for the exact dates when sexual relations be tween them and the childrens’ alleged fathers began and ended, according to the Charleston Sunday Gazette-Mail. Other questions include: “Is there anyone else who could possibly be the father of the child? Did the child’s father ever suggest an abortion? How often did you have sexual relations with him?” “Why don’t 1 just put a video camera in my bedroom.” one unidentified woman complained to the newspaper Human Services Commissioner Reginia Lipscom: survey is used to identify the child’s father and isfeifa proved. Lipscomb said the form was mailed to women inij County, which includes Charleston, who collect or In lected Aid to Families with Dependent Childrenasi last names begin w ith letters K to Z.

The state then triess: Advertising campaign successful for Bush Lost by Systems Building. Little Martin’s red airplane. Call 846-5610. 41110/24 WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican George Bush is running an advertising campaign so successful that it has over shadowed news events and swayed vot ers in a near-vacuum that Democrat Mi chael Dukakis only now is moving to fill. With the Nov. 8 election little more than two weeks away, Dukakis went on the air during the weekend with strong counterpunches to a months-old Bush of fensive that raked him over the coals and obliterated any momentum the Massa chusetts governor had leaving the Demo cratic convention in July. From the first commercials filled with children and warmth, balloons and adu lation, to stinging ads attacking Dukakis to a series of foreign affairs spots stres sing the vice president’s experience. Bush’s ad people sought to transform his image from wimp to strong yet sensitive leader. At the same time. Bush's ads have battered Dukakis to the point that voters who once viewed him as a competent, innovative governor or — at worst — an unknown, tend to see the Democratic nominee as soft on crime, weak on de fense and questionable on the environ ment. Dukakis’ own advertising got off to a late and shaky start, which was an unex pected bonus for Bush and his highly ex perienced media team. andum o Atlantic hurricane kills 50 in Nicaraguj £r Southv [pionshi] lolunin idea. MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Hurricane Joan killed at least 50 peo ple and left 300,000 homeless in its rampage across Nicaragua, officials said Sunday.

The storm left another 21 people dead in Costa Rica and four dead in Panama, bringing the death toll for its six-day trip across the Caribbean to at least 111. More than 150 people are missing.
