BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —
Gov. Buddy Roemer left open the
possibility Monday that he might
veto a hastily concocted abortion bill
that would be the strictest such law
in the 50 states. \,
“It’s unfortunate that legislation
this important would be done at the
last minute,” Roemer said at a news
conference.
“And I just want to remind every
body that an option was given by me
long ago to work this thing out to the
satisfaction of the vast majority in
this state,” he said. “It’s unfortunate
that some, for a variety of reasons,
waited until the last minute to give
us a bill.”
Roemer didn’t receive a copy of
the bill until Monday afternoon. At
his morning news conference, he re
fused to say when he would act on it.
He vetoed a stricter anti-abortion
bill Friday because it didn’t allow
abortions for rape or incest victims.
Anti-abortion forces drafted the new
measure only when it became clear
late Sunday they could not muster a
two-thirds vote in the Senate to over
ride a veto.
The new measure has rape and
incest exceptions, but a requirement
that rape be reported to authorities
within seven days of its occurrence
may be too narrowly drawn to satisfy
Roemer.
“The seven-day provision on rape
is a problem,” he said, although he
called the measure “a step in the
right direction.”
Bob Winn, a Louisiana delegate to
the National Right to Life Commit
tee, said both measures are excellent
vehicles for challenging Roe vs.
Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court
decision that legalized abortion.
“Insofar as a challenge, an invita
tion to the court, I’d put Guam at
100 percent and Louisiana at 96,”
said Winn. The U.S. territory of
Guam has recently passed its own
abortion bill that severly restricts
abortions in that area.
Louisiana lawmakers had tacked
the rape and incest exceptions onto
the law they drafted in an attempt to
appease Roemer.
Like the vetoed measure, the new
one would send doctors who per
form abortions to jail for up to 10
years with maximum fines of
$100,000.
Abortion rights leaders said the
bill faces little chance of making it
through a state court, much less the
federal system.
Roemer was unhappy with the
way the bill was amended late Sun
day — only 26 hours before the leg
islative session’s legally required end
at midnight Monday. The next ses
sion begins in April.
The bill was tacked on to
James David Cain’s legislation I
would have eliminated jail termsi
lowered the fines under simple li
tery laws for people convicted j
beating a flag burner.
Louisiana’s constitution requiRj
that amendments to a bill be [
mane to the original subject matie;
The language the Senate added!
Cain’s bill after scuttling the
burner provisions may fail that is
Roemer said.
“Courts are loathe to overrule
procedural actions of legislativehs
les and you can understand wl
Winn said. “If every time an act*
passed you have a court coming
and saying that the motion was:
made properly or this amendn
wasn’t in order, you could haveal
lute chaos.”
Engineers Former Bush aide faces subpoena
detect leak Senator examines S&L deal
on shuttle
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rock
well International engineers de
tected escaping hydrogen in a week
end test of space shuttle hardware,
ffici
but NASA officials said Monday that
the discovery still does not pinpoint
the leak that has grounded the space
shuttle fleet.
“They saw a leak, but they don’t
know the source of it,” said NASA
Spokesman Mark Hess. NASA offi
cials were happy that the leak had
been confirmed, he said, but “it’s too
early to tell” how long it will take to
correct the problem.
Engineers first must locate where
in the maze of pipes and valves the
gas is leaking and then devise a re
pair, he said.
“The fact that we saw something is
better than if we saw zero leakage,”
said Hess. “If that happened, then
we really would have had to scratch
our heads.”
Although he agreed that detect
ing the hydrogen was a first step to
ward solving the problem, Hess said
NASA still has to test space shuttle
Atlantis, which had a hydrogen leak,
before being able to determine how
long it will take to fix the problem.
Rockwell engineers at the compa
ny’s Downey, Calif., plant found the
leak Sunday when liquid hydrogen
was pumped through an apparatus
of pipes and valves, called an umbili
cal, which had been removed from
the shuttle Columbia.
The umbilical carries rocket pro
pellant from the shuttle’s large
orange tank to the rocket engines in
the orbiter, the winged spacecraft
that carries the astronauts.
The umbilical also is used to load
the fuel tank before launch. The hy
drogen leak on Columbia was first
detected in May, when technicians
were pumping the supercold hydro
gen on board. The mission was post
poned, and the umbilical on Colum
bia was removed and sent to
Rockwell for testing.
A second hydrogen leak was
found on Atlantis last month. As a
precaution, NASA grounded all
three shuttles until the leaks are
fixed.
The Rockwell test was a labo
ratory experiment that did not exac
tly duplicate the conditions that oc
curred when Columbia’s leak was
detected, said Hess.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
chairman of a Senate subcommittee
said Monday he wants to subpoena a
former aide to President Bush who
allegedly helped an Arizona insur
ance executive secure a $1.8 billion
subsidy from savings and loan regu
lators.
The insurance executive, James
M. Fail of Phoenix, borrowed $70
million while putting up $1,000 of
his own in December 1988, to ac
quire 15 thrifts that now operate as
the Dallas-based Bluebonnet Savings
Bank.
The reconstituted thrift was the
nation’s most profitable large S&L
last year. Sen. Howard M. Metzen-
baum, D-Ohio, said.
Robert Roe, a former official of
the Federal Savings and Loan Insur
ance Corp. who helped negotiate the
Bluebonnet deal, told Metzenbaum’s
subcommittee on antitrust, monopo
lies and business rights that Robert J.
Thompson, once congressional liai
son to Bush when he was vice presi
dent, had represented Fail in the
matter.
However, Fail, Thompson and M.
Danny Wall, the former chairman of
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, which oversaw the FSLIC, all
declined to testify before the panel.
Metzenbaum, the only subcom
mittee member present during a
four-hour session Monday, said he
would push the panel to subpoena
the three, and others, within the
week.
“They have failed to show up until
this point,” he said. “We intend to
get them here. They owe the public
an explanation.”
“The U.S. taxpayer, compliments
of the dealmakers at (the FSLIC),
send Mr. Fail a check for what
amounts to $23 million every
month,” Metzenbaum said.
“I don’t believe this is the only
deal that was made that has ques
tions surrounding it,” he said.
Fail now owns “a worry-free fi
nancial institution that doesn’t have
to compete with other savings
loans in order to make a profit,’
senator said.
Fail’s attorney, Stanley M. Bran:
in a statement released after it
hearing, challenged the jurisdicti
of the Metzenbaum panel to
into S&L matters. He said it wasm

Experts say alcoholism in elderl)

Ryne S
of the
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A
preoccupation with treating alco
holism in younger people has
obscured a serious and neglected
problem among old people in this
country, experts say.
“Alcoholism in the elderly is
drastically underdetected and un
de rtreated,” said Nancy J. Os
good, a Medical College of Vir
ginia gerontologist. “We have a
hard time thinking a person 85
years old could have an alcohol
problem.”
Osgood and officials of the
Virginia Department for the Ag
ing have developed what they say
is the nation’s first statewide pro
gram to detect alcoholism in the
elderly.
About 100 two-member teams
of volunteers will receive a day of
intensive training from the state,
and each team in turn will train
125 people. The first training ses
sion was in February; another is
set for September.
The goal is to have 12,500 rela
tives of older alcoholics, older
adults and social service and
health professionals versed in the
physical and psychological effects
of alcohol ana aging.
Delaware is setting up a detec
tion program, using Virginia as a
model, Osgood said.
Rita Albery, a public health ad
viser to the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism,
said the focus has been on alco
holism in younger people but not
in older people.
“We’ve got to start paying at
tention to this population,” she
said.
Studies have found that 2 per
cent to 10 percent of Americans
over 65 are alcoholics, or 560,000
to 2.8 million people. But the sta
tistics are misleading because the
problem is largely undetected,
said Osgood.
“The elderly don’t usually
come in contact with work offi
cials or even with family members
because they live alone,” she said.
Many older people also grew
up believing alcoholism was a
moral issue — instead of a chro
nic disease — and that overcom
ing it was a matter of will power.
This makes it hard for older peo
ple to seek help.
It’s sometimes difficult for
physicians to distinguish symp
toms of alcoholism — such as
memory loss and blackouts -
from the natural aging process,
Osgood said. Many physicians
also are reluctant to recognize al
coholism in the elderly or to con
front an older patient, she said.
A more insidious barrier to de
tecting and treating alcoholism
among the elderly is an attitude
of “the bottle is the only thing
they have left ... why take it away
from them,” Osgood said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Japanese
developer again topped a list of the
world’s richest people, but the an
nual tally has one conspicuous dele
tion this year: Donald J. Trump.
But despite the financial troubles
of the New York developer, the
United States continues to contain
the world’s largest number of bil
lionaires — 62 — according to esti
mates by Forbes magazine. In addi
tion, there are 37 U.S. families with
fortunes over $1 billion, Forbes says
in its July 23 issue.
Forbes, in estimates released last
Tuesday, says the world’s wealthiest
person for the fourth straight year
was Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of Japan,
whose railroad and real estate em
pire includes golf courses, ski resorts
and hotels. Forbes estimated his net
worth at $16 billion, up about $1 bil
lion from last year.
That estimate was far greater than
that of rival business magazine For
tune, which put Tsutsumi’s net
worth at $3.1 billion last September.
Fortune said the world’s richest
United States contains
most billionaire families
person is the Sultan of Brunei, at
$25 billion. Forbes excludes heads of
state from consideration.
Following the 56-year-old Tsut
sumi on the Forbes list was Japanese
developer Taikichiro Mori, a former
economics professor who now owns
78 office buildings. Forbes put Mo
ri’s net worth at $ 14.6 billion.
Ranked third was the family of
Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart,
the third-largest U.S. retail chain.
Forbes estimates that the Waltons,
who also were third-ranked last year,
are worth $13.3 billion, up from
$8.7 billion in 1989.
America’s du Pont family was
fourth, with a net worth estimated at
$10 billion. They were followed by
Hans and Gad Pausing, two Swedish
brothers who control a packaging
empire worth $9.6 billion.
Kitaro Watanabe, a Japanese real
estate owner, was sixth at $9.2 bil
lion. He was followed by Canada’s
Reichmann brothers, owners of the
Olympia & York real estate com
pany, at $9 billion.
Kenkichi Nakajima and his fam
ily, founder of Japan’s largest maker
of pachinko machines, a gambling
game similar to pinball, were eighth
at $8.4 billion.
South Korea’s Shin Kyuk-ho, who
owns a candy and real estate empire,
was ninth at $7 billion to $8 billion;
and Forrest E. Mars and family of
the United States, of Mars candy
fame, were 10th at an estimated $6
billion.
Fort Worth’s Bass brothers —
Robert, Lee, Sid and Edward —were
among a group tied for 14th place
with estimated wealth of $5 billion
from oil and investments.
Other American families
worth exceeding $3 billion were
Newhouse, Hearst and Coxfami
which derive their fortunes
publishing and broadcasting;
Mellon family of banking fame;
Dorrance family, whose wei
comes from Campbell Soup Co.

houses.
As for Trump, Forbes put his
