Faith healer
Carter dies
FAYETTEVILLE - Ruth Carter
Stapleton, the evangelist sister of
former President Carter, died
Monday of pancreatic cancer after
a five-month attempt to .treat
herself through diet, exercise and
faith in God.
Stapleton, 53, died at home
around 11:30 a.m., said her hus
band, Dr. Robert Stapleton. He
refused to comment further when
reached by telephone.
Stapleton was diagnosed in
April by doctors at Duke Universi
ty Medical Center as having ter
minal cancer. Her son, Scott
Carpenter Stapleton, an op
thalmologist at Duke, urged her to
have orthodox treatment, but she
refused.
"My whole life has been geared
to this kind of thing," Mrs.
Stapleton said in May. "I worked
20 years in healing, and I have
seen so many miracles.
Schools fail
asbestos test
WASHINGTON — Sixty-six per
cent of schools checked so far by
the Environmental Protection
Agency have failed to comply with
rules requiring them to identify
and report on asbestos hazards
that could threaten the health of
students and school employees,
an EPA official said Sunday.
Alvin Aim, EPA deputy ad
ministrator, cautioned that the
sampling of schools was not a
valid statistical survey because the
EPA is sending its inspectors first
to school districts it believes are
not complying.
But he said there is no doubt
that the number of school districts
failing to adequately address the
asbestos problem is “unaccep
tably high."
A report issued earlier this year
by the Service Employees Interna
tional union estimated that 3.24
million school children and
600,000 teachers and other
employees are being exposed to
possibly hazardous levels of
asbestos.
Asbestos was widely used as
fireproof insulation in many older
schools in the country before it
was banned from schools in 1978.
The EPA has estimated that some
30 million tons of the fire
retardant were sprayed on walls
and ceilings, put in ceiling tiles
and wrapped around pipes for
insulation.
Cheating for
fun and profit
LONDON — People who cheat
on the job work harder and enjoy
it more, a'Cambridge University
sociologist says.
When a worker steals office
pens or gets the company to pay
for a mistress' apartment, the
results are "nothing but good,"
said Dr. Gerald Mars, who also
heads Middlesex Polytechnic’s
Center for Occupational and
Community Research.
In a book published Monday en
titled "Cheats at Work: An An
thology of Workplace Crime,"
Mars advises workers to carry on
cheating — or "fiddling" as it's
called in Britain.
Mars, who spent 10 years in
more than 30 different jobs resear
ching the subject, said cheating is
a vital part of Britain's "hidden
economy.''
"I know some people will be
shocked, but we have been listen
ing to the moralists too long," he
said. "Fiddles are real. People in
industrial relations have got to
realize unless they understand fid
dles they will never understand
workers."
Mars said bosses can use
cheating as a reward or
punishment.
"Management can turn a blind
eye and use it as a reward. On the
other hand, it can use it to get rid
of troublemakers."
U.S. grants
arms to China
PEKING — Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger told Chinese
officials Monday that most of the
military technology they have re
quested from the United States
can be furnished now that China
has been reclassified as a friendly,
non-adied country, Weinberger's
official spokesman reported.
The spokesman, who briefed
reporters on condition that he not
be identified, said Weinberger
told Defense Minister Zhang Aip
ing at a three-hour meeting that
the Commerce Department can
automatically OK 32 more items of
civilian high technology with
possible military use.
In June 1981 China presented a
list of requests for militarily
related or dual use technolgoy
and munitions. Weinberger said
11 items initially were apporoved.
China had said restrictions were
a major problem in Chinese
American relations and proved
that the United States did not con
sider China a trustworthy friend.
The reclassification is expected to
increase technology exports to
$800 million this year and $1
billion next year.
Parole set
for Powell
FAIRFIELD — A judge on Mon
day ordered the release of a man
convicted of killing a police officer
in a case made famous by Joseph
Wambaugh's book "The Onion
Field," saying a state parole board
erred in canceling his schedule
parole last year. .
Gregory Powell, 49, who is serv
ing a life sentence at the state
prison at Vacaville for the 1963 ab
duction and murder of Los
Angeles police officer Ian Camp
bell, was ordered released in 10
days by Superior Court Judge Ellis
Randall of Solano County.
Randall said the parole board
had relied on improper evidence
of an unproven act of sexual
misconduct and apparently had
relied on public outcry.
Deputy Attorney General Dane
Gillette said he would ask a state
appeals court in San Francisco to
reverse the ruling and to block
Powell's release.
Campbell was killed in an onion
field near Bakersfield, and Wam
baugh's book about the crime and
protracted legal proceedings
became a best-seller.
Hit the books
FORT DODGE — A young man
who shouted about Pearl Harbor
and slugged a Laotian refugee has
been sentenced to a history
lesson.
Terry Van Ornum, 23, of Fort
Dodge pleaded guilty to in
termediate assault in connection
with an attack several weeks ago
on Thong Soukaseume, a Laotian
immigrant.
Soukaseume was leaving a con
venience store when Ornum
came in and, yelling about the
lapanese attack on Pearl Harbor in
1941, struck the Laotian in the left
ear. The wound required six
stitches.
The prosecutor recommended
that in lieu of a fine or jail time,
Ornum be sentenced to write an
essay on the Lao culture and the
workings of American immigra
tion laws.
District fudge R.K. Richardson
agreed, saying Ornum wasn't old
enough to remember Pearl Har
bor and had misplaced his
grudges. He said Ornum's essay
would have to be a serious affair,
“not just 25 words."
