WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate's “old-boy .dub," which for
generations has cheered on former
senators if they advanced into the
upper reaches of the executive
branch, has come unglued under the
weight of former Sen. 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.

rent Armed Services chairman, had
made dear months before last fall's
election that he intended to subject
new nominees for top Pentagon po
sitions to intense scrutiny in an ef
fort to improve the quality of key of
ficials. •
“I said several times that it wasn’t
going to be an old-hoy hearing, that
we were going to have a thorough
review,” Nunn said. “The presump
tion that it was going to or some
thing less was wrong from the begin
ning. 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.

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

If Niwa succeeds, it would be

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.
