Petitions are being circulated in Brno, about 124 miles southeast of Prague, and other major cities. The text of the petition and number of signatures gathered were not known, said the source who spoke on condition she not be identified. Czechoslovakia and East Ger many are members of the Soviet led, seven-nation Warsaw Pact military alliance. The two coun tries have agreed to placing of the new missiles on their soil in response to the deployment of Pershing 2 and cruise missiles in Western Europe by NATO. In an usually candid move, Czechoslovakia's state-run media has recently acknowledged there was some public opposition to deployment of the new Soviet missiles. Study attacks federal bank WASHINGTON — A study by the House Banking Committee on Tuesday assailed as "intolerable in a democracy" the secrecy that sur rounds the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy sessions. The central bank, the report said, "has not been authorized to conduct covert operations in our nation's money markets, but the Central Intelligence Agency would be proud to match the Fed's record for operating in the shadows." Several panel members took issue with the sharp tone of the report and noted the full commit tee did not vote to adopt the document, which includes a disclaimer to that effect on its cover. A committee spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said, however, "It generally reflects the views of a majority of the committee." The study, put together by the committee's staff, recommends that Federal Reserve policy makers be more open in their deliberations and announce cer tain decisions on monetary policy as soon as they are made. The board's policy-makers — the Federal Open Market Commit tee — meet about eight times a year. The minutes of the meetings aren't made public until about six weeks later, after the next meeting. The panel consists of the seven governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the presidents of five of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks. In those sessions, the Open Market Committee decides how to control the supply of money and credit to the banking system, which indirectly affects the level of interest rates. The policy makers have been maintaining a modest level of restraint on the money supply in an effort to keep inflation under control. The study said it wants the policy-makers to announce their intermediate targets for the growth in the money supply "when it makes those decisions." It also called for releasing ver batim transcripts of all policy making meetings within four years after they take place. Mercy killer convicted ALBANY — A man who said his sick wife begged him to let her die was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison for the "mercy kill ing" and to 14 more years for the rape of her daughter. James Leroy Henry, 31, of Sweet Home, cried as he described the life of his Wife, Anna Henry, who was a bedridden diabetic before her death May 18. She died of an insulin overdose administered by her husband. He said his wife needed almost constant care and that he had to force her to take food and medication. On May 17, he said, his wife ask ed him to let her die. "She looked up at me, your honor, and said 'Will you let me go?’ She begged me, 'Please let me go.' "She was stripped of all the pride and dignity a person could ever have," Henry said. "So I told her, Yes.' " He said he injected her with overdoses of insulin on May 17 and again the following day. As she died, "I laid there and held my wife.. .in my arms." Of his sexual relationship with her young teenage daughter, Henry told Judge Wendell Tom pkins in Linn County Circuit Court that he turned to the young girl for comfort and support when it became apparent that his wife was dying. He said he hadn't intended the relationship to become sexual, but that his wife understood. The girl had a baby before her mother died. Henry had pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and first-degree rape. Mrs. Henry's death certificate listed natural causes as the reason. However, authorities began investigating after a Sweet Home doctor alerted them to the girl's pregnancy. Tompkins ordered that the terms be served consecutively. Nuclear plant passes test RICHLAND, Wash. — The head of a Nuclear Regulatory Commis sion inspection team said Tuesday that no major technical obstacles stand between the Washington Public Power Supply System and an operating license for its re maining nuclear plant. Supply system officials said they hoped to receive the license by the middle of next week and begin loading fuel into the plant's nuclear reactor within 48 hours after that. "There are still some things that need to be worked out, but I would consider them minor," said Thomas Novak, assitant director of licensing for the NRC at Bethesda, Md. Novak said the license would allow WPPSS to load fuel and bring the plant to 5 percent power. The full commission would have to approve bringing the plant to full power. Don Mazur, supply system managing director, said the plant could be in commercial operation by next July, following a five month testing program. The limited operating license could be granted despite objections from the Portland-based Coalition for Safe Power, Novak said. The anti-nuclear group asked the NRC in October to withdraw the supply system's construction permit and deny it an operating license for No. 2. The coalition charges the plant is unsafe and represents a serious threat to the public. Novak said the NRC staff will have to res pond, at least in part, to the coali tion's petition before fuel loading is approved. "Our first and utmost concern is safety and where there is a ques tion we will opt for the conser vative side," Mazur told the NRC inspection team. I In Medford, stay lost MEDFORD — People who get lost in the wilds of Jackson County could have more than just the elements to contend with. I The Jackson County commis sioners are considering an or dinance that would make most people who become lost pay for the sheriff's costs of finding thepi The commissioners, sheriff, U.S. Forest Service officials and representatives of the Mount Ashland ski area met Tuesday to discuss the idea. Commissioner Jerry Barnes says the idea is to try to cut down on the high costs of searches. He says some searches have cost as much as $200,000, further eroding the financially strapped county's treasury.
