Former (Con't from Page 1) cost the taxpayers about $2 billion and stands as the largest collapse in the nation's savings and loan scandal. Referring to the key mecting and one seven days later that the senators held with other bank regulators, Gray told the committee: "These mectings capped years of private threats and public vilification designed not just to change particular decisions by the bank board but to render us unable to carry out our central responsibilities to protect the financial system and the taxpayers from loss." Gray said the urgency of the implosion of the thrift industry demanded "a more sober treatment" by the five senators, although he said the Mieged political pressure tactics "did not intimidate me or my regulators." "We have heard a lot in these hearings about the responsibility of senators to represent constituent interests," Gray said in reference to claims by all five senators that any actions taken regarding Keating were legitimate forms of assistance to an important constituent and businessman.
"But I have always assumed that we also send out senators to Washington because we think they will have the sense to know when narrow constituent demands must take a back seat to the safcty of their constituents as a whole," Gray added. None of the five senators was present when Gray spoke. Gray also said Keating orchestrated an impression that Gray had a "vendetta" against Keating as a tool to fight any bank board regulations in the future. DeConcini's aide Sedlmayr said she believed attending the mecting with Gray would be "a political mistake," pointing to the current hearings as belated evidence. "I I told him I didn't think it was a good idea and later would be misinterpreted by the press," Sedlmayr testified.
"He (DeConcini) thanked me for my suggestion, but said he was going to go ahead anyway." But she stressed she had no problems with the "propricty" of such a mecting, although she said she feared Gray would "misinterpret" its meaning. Last week, a McCain aide also said she also unsuccessfully tried to dissuade her boss from attending one of the mectings. Japan (Con't from Page 1) Japan has informed the United Nations and its allics of its move, he added. He denied any government connection with the invitation to Iraqi lawmakers. The timing of the two announcements was purcly coincidental, said another Forcign Ministry official on condition on anonymity.
Nevertheless, Japan's unilateral action, combined with the invitations, is bound to anger some of its allies, especially the United States. The Bush administration is trying to win authorization for military action against Iraq if i it refuses to withdraw from Kuwait. Western officials have discounted Iraqi claims of medical shortages, noting that Iraq stripped Kuwaiti hospitals bare. The invitation to Iraqi legislators to visit Tokyo in mid-December represents the first by any government since Iraq invaded Kuwait. Liberal Democratic Party officials would not confirm the initiative, but Japanese media quoted party sources as saying it was intended to find a way to free the 233 Japanese civilians who remain trapped in Iraq.
The move follows a visit to Baghdad earlier this month by former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone in which he obtained the freedom of 74 Japanese hostages. On his return, Nakasone said he had promised nothing in return, but some Japanese media speculated that the invitations were issued during his visit. 60 Accidents, 2 Fatalities Noted During Holiday State Police at Hollidaysburg barracks reported a total of 60 accidents investigated in Blair County during the Thanksgiving holiday.

ZIG ZIGLAR BRIAN TRACY RARE APPEARANCE DECEMBER 11th (412) 695-0730 Tyrone, Tuesday, November 27, 1990 Winter Tames Wildfires In Colorado, Montana By LUKE HILL United Press International Winter snows and plunging temperatures Monday helped firefighters gain the upper hand on wildfires that raged over the Thanksgiving weekend in Montana and Colorado. With snow falling over central Montana, the so-called Turkey Fire was 90 percent contained Monday after burning across 32,000 acres and destroying two ranch homes and 13 other various kinds of structures, including barns and corrals. "Winter has poked its nose from up north down on us," Dave Pierce of the U.S. Forest Service said.
"We've got 1 to 2 inches of snow on the fire and subfreezing temperatures. "It's kind of a mixed blessing, actually," he said of the weather. "It's really not enough to put the fire out and it's fairly cold, about 20 degrees, so the snow is not melting. But it certainly has checked the fire's The fire broke out Friday night at the level in timberlands east of Little Belt Mountain in the Lewis and Clark National Forest, about 55 miles cast-southeast of Great Falls. From there, the flames moved northeast into timberland, sage brush and agricultural lands.
Pierce said the snowfall, although helpful, presented some new problems for firefighters, including slippery footing on rugged terrain and frozen tanker hoses. He said some of the areas still burning contained large, -growth timber that could be resistant to the weather. "When the fire gets in that kind of timber it can smoulder for days under the snow," he said. The cause of the fire was still under investigation.

In September, Mexico increased its shipments to the United States by 100,000 barrels a day in response to the shortages caused by the Persian Gulf crisis. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said Monday that Bush and Salinas would likely not discuss oil this week, leaving the volatile issue to aides in later more detailed discussions. Fitzwater also said the United States is encouraged by the progress that has been made thus far in informal talks on the trade pact and said U.S. Ambassador Carla Hills "thinks it's on track." "A NIGHT OF Dec. 16th At The COACHLITE 684-5410 high-priced residences in a mountain subdivision near Boulder, sparked by a burning mattress, was all but out Monday, with only a few hot spots remaining.
An aerial survey and plotting of the fire's path revealed only 2,200 acres had burned, not 6,000 as initially believed.

Weather forecasts were for significantly lower temperatures. A man identified as Arno Stein, 62, was arrested in the fire. Stein told investigators the mattress was burning when he arrived home shortly after? 2 a.m. Saturday. Investigators speculated that candles ignited the mattress at Stein's home in a rural subdivision, about 2 miles northwest of Boulder.
"He said he dragged the mattress out of the house to save it from Sheriff's Capt. Chuck Pringle said. "But the house burned down and the fire spread." Stein was booked at the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of firing woods and prairie, fourth-degree arson and reckless endangerment. Pringle said Stein has a record of prior arrests for theft, third-degree assault, harassment, resisting arrest, alcohol violations and damaging property. He has also been held previously for psychiatric observation, Pringle said.
Food Bank Serving Growing Population Of 'Working Poor' Wednesday, has increased its services since. "I always knew there were poor people, but I was surprised that government programs weren't addressing the problems of the said director Joyce Rothermel, who helped start the food bank and has headed it since 1987. In the 10 years since its creation, the food bank has distributed more than 70 million pounds of food through numerous pantries, soup kitchens and other agencics that have sprung up to meet changing needs. It was meant to be temporary but has lasted because of an enormous burst of need that resulted from job layoffs in the '80s. "'Many people's salaries have declined in the course of the '80s," Rothermel said.
"'We now have a population of people who are the working poor who are defying the principle in this country that if you work, you'll make it." The food bank, ultimately, isn't the answer to the problem, she said. "We think we're a temporary BandAid in terms of the bigness of the problem. We would hope through public policy changes and through more jobs at better income levels, and with health benefits, that the number of people needing our services would decrease Pat O'Malley, an advocate for Hunger Services Network, estimated that 100,000 people in Allegheny County go hungry at some point each year.

But analysts said Monday that the deal makes sense for both companies both because of the need to offer programming over the next decade in new electronic formats and because of the prospects for long-term growth in the international market. "The key here is that the companies have positioned themselves to take advantage the new Dixon said. Osaka-based Matsush*ta, which produces electronics under the Panasonic, Technics and Quasar labels, said it will leave MCA management intact, not cut any jobs and operate the company under the same name. "I don't think that you'll see MCA run a whole lot differently than it has been," Logsdon said. "If it's a good project, they're still going to go after it.
companies also said that creative decisions will be made in Hollywood rather than Osaka. "Both companies are committed to maintaining the creative independence which has established MCA at the forefront of the entertainment industry," the companies said in a joint statement. "'It is the companies' common goal that the artists, writers, directors and producers associated with MCA continue to produce great works of entertainment in a stable and supportive atmosphere." Terms call for a $66-a-share cash tender offer to begin by Nov. 30 for MCA's 92.8 million shares, plus a payout of $4 to $6 a share for WWOR-TV in Secaucus, N.J., which will be run as a separate, publicly held company. Matsush*ta, which as a foreign company cannot own more than 20 percent of an American television station, said the management of WWOR, one of a handful of so-called "superstations" carried over U.S.
cable systems, will remain in place. Matsush*ta also will sell MCA concession subsidiary Yosemite Park Curry Co. during the next 12 months to an American buyer. Analysts believe that deal will fetch about $200 million. Over the long term, analysts said, the deal gives Matsush*ta a similar marketing advantage that archival Sony had in mind when it bought Columbia.

The new electronic technologies could include laserdiscs, compact-disc players, big-screen television and camcorders. "It's impossible to predict which technologies will succeed," Dixon said.

"'Matsush*ta will benefit from a reliable supply of high-quality entertainment products for its consumer electronic equipment."
