Their caution reflects a de sire to solidify the OOP’s new found support among white women, to avoid overreaching the mandate of their midterm gains, and to deny Democrats an early opening to re-energize their despondent base. Much of this approach stems from the OOP’s analysis of Clinton’s early efforts to allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military. The effort sent Clinton's support among white men, and across the South, into a tailspin from which the presi dent has yet to recover. And it invigorated conserva tive groups, particularly the Christian Coalition and other religious conservative groups, and these organizations were significant players in the Re publican midterm sweep. Now, if Republicans rush for ward with a controversial social agenda, “it could excite our forces and help us organize for the next elections,” said Ann Lewis, a veteran Democratic strategist and a senior official at Planned Parenthood. So far, Rep. Newt Gingrich, who will become House speaker in January, has kept his focus mostly on economic and reform issues. Gingrich has offered vague criticisms of liberal hous ing and education programs but with the exception of school prayer and welfare reform, two popular ideas, has spoken spar ingly about social issues. “We cannot replace the social engineering by the left with a social engineering of the right,” Gingrich said Tuesday night. The House GOP agenda does include social policies certain to prove controversial. But in pick ing these battles, Gingrich and his allies were careful to put re form items first and then choose social issues that enjoy substan tia] if not overwhelming support in public opinion polls — though vehemently opposed by liberals. Gingrich, for example, wants the House to vote by early July on a constitutic amendment allowing nized school prayer, Lifc groups oppose the amendit; but President Clinton Tuesday he is opentotheii suggesting there will unified Democratic Another provision House GOP’s 100- that is opposed by some groups would allow exclude schoolchildrenfn federal surveys they find ol tionable because of c about sexual behavior. As for abortion, Republic expect some conservatives push for restoration oil “gag rule” prohibiting clit that receive federal from advising pregns women about abortion. Tropical storm Gordon leaves Florida, Haiti in ruii BAREFOOT BAY, Fla. (AP) — Pink insu lation hung from broken branches like strips of confetti. The crumpled remains of mobile homes littered the streets. Drenched furniture lay buried under crushed metal and wooden beams. “I said, ‘What is that noise?’ and every thing blew,” Seline Harrod recalled Wednes day. “I laid my face down on the floor and my husband laid on top of me.” Harrod and her neighbors told tales of terror the morning after Tropical Storm Gordon sent a tornado through this tight- knit retirement community, where people socialize over shuffleboard and fire auxiliary chicken dinners. The storm generated other tornadoes and thunderstorms on a 200-mile path across Florida after devastating Haiti. Radio reports put the death toll in Haiti at up to 400. In Florida, which has gotten 20 inches of rain Sunday, five people died, more were in jured and dozens of homes destroyed. The storm zigzagged south of the Florida Keys, churned into the Gulf of Mexico and circled back to come ashore on the state’s west coast between Naples and Fort Myers. The weakened storm was expected to dump more rain that could lead to more flooding. Some Orlando residents were ad vised to evacuate because of heavy flooding. Gov. Lawton Chiles declared a state of emergency for southern and central Flori da, allowing the National Guard to be called in if needed. In Barefoot Bay and Snug Harbor Lakes, an adjacent mobile home retirement com munity along the Atlantic Coast, the torna do destroyed 68 mobile homes, damaged more than 380, killed one man and injured 40, including two critically. Rescuers used trained dogs in driving rain to pull apart pieces of mangled alu minum and insulation and make sure no one was trapped. No others were found. After the tornado damaged the Harrods’ trailer home, Mrs. Harrod’s husband, Doug, pried open the door, sat his wife in their car and went to check on neighbors. He forced open 71-year-old Eileen Sheehan’s door and got her out. “I was going out to the kitchen ai sudden the lights went off, the ceilingstai falling in and the windows blew out,H was glass all over the floor,” Sheehansaii A small motor boat named OurDn was tossed upside down and stood among the debris of its owner’s home. Down the street, George Gersbv: “Rhapsody in Blue” album was burid James Fuller’s driveway. Fuller, 74, was killed and his wife,Jf was critically injured when their mi home was lifted up, carried across thei' way and crashed on top of him. A car pad in the driveway was barely scratched, Ruth Flanagan, 64, was at home ao the street, but her house was virtually touched. “It was a great big boom, andi it was gone,” she said. Emergency crews worked to restore p: er to homes that escaped severe dami The Red Cross opened two shelters forp pie left homeless, but many were taka by neighbors.
