John Tower’s nomination to be secretary of de- fense. Tower's Senate conFirmation is in serious jeopardy, the nominee bat tered biy unproven accusations of heavy drinking, ‘womanizing and lack of objectivity when it comes to defense contractors. Many had expected that Tower's nomination to oe the nation’s de fense chief would enjoy an effortless slide down a carefully greased chute. Tower, after all, had been one of the powers of the Senate where he served for two dozen years and pre sided as chairman of the Armed Services Committee — the same panel now being asked to confirm him. If he expected special treatment, he didn't get it. Instead, his nomination became snared in a web of allegations and FBI investigations. Sen.

Period.*' “I think everybody thought that the old-boy network would work as it always has and John Tower would go sailing through, but it hasn't worked that way, said Sen. James Exon. D-Neb.. the Armed Services Committee's second-ranking Demo crat. In part. Tower’s troubles may stem from the fact that he appar ently entered the confirmation proc .ess with a relatively low reservoir of good will among his former col leagues. Many senators say privately thai they were not fond of what they say was Tower’s testy temper and auto cratic operating style. “Tower is a former member of the Senate. But it is probably also the case that he doesn't have a lot of inti mate friends here or any aura of popularity or good will.” said Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Re lations committee at the time Tower headed Armed Services. The question inevitably is raised of whether the Tower nomination is being hammered by old-fashioned partisan politics. Not so. said Nunn, whose own credentials are hardly those of a left- wing Pentagon basher. Sen. John Warner. R-Va., a former secretary of the Navy and the panel's ranking Republican, backs Nunn up. "Sam Nunn has been fair, eouita- ble and — steadfastly — he has been non-political.” Warner said late last week. Warner said he put the question of fairness directly to Tower nimself. “I said, ‘John, if you were in the position Sam Nunn and I now find ourselves in. .. . would vou do it any differently?’ ” The answer? “Sen. Tower looked us right in the eve and said.‘No,’ "Warner said. Dukakis struggles for footing as popularity hits 10-year low BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Michael Dukakis has had a hard time regaining his footing since he was knocked off his feet in the presidential election. Publicly, he hardly had his coat off when his political allies started attacking him because of severe state bud- S t problems and for his decision that more taxes were e only way to balance the books. Privately, fatigue and depression associated with the presidential campaign defeat led to his wife Kitty enter ing an alcohol treatment program And a recent public opinion poll found him about as popular as a swim in polluted Boston Harbor. “I don’t believe I can remember a Massachusetts gov ernor who went from that high to such a relatively low period in such a short period of time,” John Volpe, a former Republican governor, said. “You can go down hill as fast as you eJfa go uphill." Most of Dukakis' friends maintain that his stoicism is seeing him through. "I don’t see a Mike Dukakis who is worn down or tom down by these events.” said Boston attorney Paul Brountas, chairman of Dukakis’ presidential campaign and a personal friend. If Dukakis occasionallv seemed distracted, it was be cause “the family is obviously the most important con sideration,” Brountas said. ‘‘I don’t think it’s easily com partmentalized.” These should have been his golden years culminating more than a decade in the state s highest office. Insteacl, since becoming a lame duck by announcing in January that he won’t run for governor again, Dukakis has wres- g( tied with some of the biggest problems to face slate gov emment in years. And he is doing it without the usual support. On Sundav, a week after Kitty Dukakis entered a Rhode Islancl center to be treated for an alcohol prob lem, headlines announced that, for the first time in his statewide political career, Dukakis' favorabilky rating had dipped belov, 50 percent. The poll of 603 Demo crats and independents by Secretary of State Michael Connolly showed only 43.5 percent rating the governor favorably. On Monday, Dukakis went before the state House Taxation Committee to defentj a ^735 million tax in crease proposal. He says he needs the money'to help close a >600 million budget gap tHIrVear and keep next year's budget in balance. All this for a politician who in 1986 won re-election by better than a ‘2-1 margin, who gained the Democratic presidential nomination after winning primaries in ev ery region of the country, and who as recently as De cember had a favorability rating among Democrats of 83 percent. Since the presidential election. Dukakis has occasion ally shown more fire than he did on the campaign trail. In his state-of-lhe-state address, for example, he called his opponents on fiscal issues “gutless wonders. gai iliU U.S.-Mexican 9 governors plan topical session SALTILLO, Mexico (AP) — Bor der ecology and industrial devel opment will be among the items on the agenda this week when gover nors from all 10 U.S.-Mexico border states meet in this Coahuila state capital, organizers said. Governors from California. New Mexico, Arizona and Texas will spend Friday discussing topics of mutual interest with their coun terparts from Mexico's six border states, said Gerardo Hernandez, Coahuila state public relations direc tor. "The governors themselves choose the themes and many are similar to those discussed in previous meetings,” Hernandez said by tele phone. Although relations between the United States and Mexico tend to be strained at the federal level, border governors often attempt to work out problems between the states among themselves, he said. Hernandez said U.S. Ambassador Charles Pilliod Jr.. Mexican Ambas sador Gustavo Petricioli and Sergio Gonzalez Galvez, Mexican foreign relations undersecretary, will be among those to address the confer ence Friday. Coahuila Gov. Eliseo Mendoza Berrueto and California Gov. George Deukmejain will make open ing remarks at a Thursday evening dinner launching the Seventh Bor der Governors Conference. The governors last met in Decem ber 1987 in Las Cruces, N.M., and addressed topics including the fast growing “maquiladora’’ industry along the border. Maquiladoras, for eign owned assembly operations, make goods largely for export. Hernandez said Friday's topics during panel discussions and private meetings also will include maquila doras and border crossing points. Meanwhile, the Autonomous Uni versity of Coahuila is planning a con ference on border issues Wednesday and Thursday, also in Saltillo. Balloonist gets ready, for trans-Pacific flight YOKOHAMA. Japan (AP) — Fumio Niwa is not sure where the winds will take him on his first solo balloon flight across the Pa cific Ocean, but he'd rather alight in San Diego than on a mountain peak in the Alaskan wilderness. "My biggest worn, is what di rection the wind will Wow,” Niwa said as he prepared for Tuesday's takeoff. "My second-biggest worry is that while I’m traveling alone in the dark, some strange creature from outer space may apjscar at the window of the gon- “But I’m reallv not very wor ried. If there are any problems, all 1 have to do is come back down.” Niwa, 38, says he’s making the flight "for fun" and to test the pressurized gondola and helium balloon he designed himself. An experienced balloonist, Niwa quit his job at a computer firm in Novemoer to prepare for the 5,000-mik flight, expected to take four days. He plans to hitch a 90 mph ride with high-altitude easterly winds about 26.400 feet above Earth, about 7,00(7 feet below the level at which airplanes fly. Since the balloon’s route de pends on the wind, Niwa said he worries he will not make it to San Diego, the nster city of his home town of Yokohama. “But even worse would be if I came down thinking 1 was in Alaska, and then found out I was actually still in northern Japan. ’ he said Monday as he and his as sistants filled the balloon. "111 be happv if I land anywhere in Amenca If Niwa succeeds, it would be the first solo balloon flight across ihe Pacific He learned about the high-abi- easteriy winds from a hook Japan’s desperate attempt months of World the United States with bombs carried by balloons. During a three-month period, Japan launched about 9,000 bal loon bombs, of which about 300 reportedly made it to the United States. Little damage was done by the attacks, which L'-S. wartime authorities kept quiet. Niwa contacted retired Maj. Teruhiko Takeda. 76. who as sembled the research team that planned the bomb attacks, and Takeda became Niwa’s good friend and adviser for the flight. “Before, the world was at war." Niwa said. “Now. with good rela tions between the United States and Japan. I’m happy to be able to use the wind to carry a message of friendship between our two countries, - ’ Niwa said. The first successful trans-Pa cific balloon crossing was made in 1981 by four Americans and Jap anese, including RoCky Aoki. owner of the Bemhana restaurant chain. The balloon crashed into a tree in a snowstorm in mountain* north of San Francisco and the gondola fell 40 feet to, the ground. No one was injured. Niwa says his floatable gon dola. made of a high-tech plastic, would be able to with stand such a landing — and even small-arms fire. The interior of the bright orange gondola contains a teat, amateur radios, a radio beacon and food. Undier Japanese law, an aviation radio is forbidden be cause the balloon doesn’t qualify as an airplane. Niwa has no navigation equip ment and will depend on radio reports of trackings of his radio beacon. Solar panels around the out side of the, charge to attack i protect him i of
