Reagan: U.S. Will Stick To THE JOURNAL, OGDENSBURG.N.Y.- MONDAY, AUGUST 17,1987-PAGE 3 SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - The U.S. plans to stick by its commitment to protect shipping in the hazardous waters of the Per- sian Gulf, President/Reagan said in his weekly radio address Broadcasting Saturday from his vacation ranch in Southern Califor- nia, Reagan also said he will put Senate confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork at the head of his domestic agenda. ,„ In * he Democratic response, Sen. Wyche Fowler of Georgia said the U.S. military presence in the Per- sian Gulf shows how dependent America is on foreign oil. He said the adminsitration should adopt an energy conservation policy. Criminals Should Compensate Their Victims: Stewart WASHINGTON (AP) - Efforts should be strengthened to see that criminals compensate their vic- tims as a condition of freedom, a research arm of the Justice Department says. \Neither the victim nor the tax- payer should bear the cost of crime if the offender is capable of making payments,\ said James K. Stewart, director of the National Institute of Justice. Stewart's comments Sunday ac- companied the institute's publica- tion of guidelines for local officials to develop or bolster restitution programs. Homeless Face Eviction Under British Bridge LONDON (AP) - Homeless peo- ple face eviction from their makeshift shelters of cardboard boxes, bags and newspapers under the railway bridge at Charing Cross in London, the British Broad- casting Corp. reported today. The shelters, known as \card- board city,\ will be cleared away by Westminster Council so that shops and offices can be built in the area, the BBC said. Since World War II, men and women have slept on the sidewalks under the bridge. The Salvation Army estimates 10,000 people are homeless in Lon- don. \There is nowhere for these peo- ple to go — our hostels are full,\ said Michael Carroll of the St. Mungo Housing Trust, which runs shelters for the homeless. Man Is Murdered In Clan Warfare CITTANOVA, Italy (AP) — Police say a 22-year-old man was killed by several shotgun blasts in the 100th murder this year in the province of Reggio di Calabria, where a clan war has dragged on for 20 years. Investigators said Urbano Deraco appeared to be the latest victim in a feud between rival fac- tions of the 'ndrangheta, or Calabrian Mafia, in the province at the southern tip of the Italian boot. Investigators said Deraco had been shot several times with a shotgun, probably Saturday even- ing. Police believe the murder is the latest in a feud over control of drug traffic, extortion rackets and other organized crime. BY RICHARD PYL.E MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Newly arrived American mine- sweeping helicopters maneuvered over the Persian Gulf as three tankers and their U.S. Navy escorts prepared to leave Kuwait and sail through the perilous water- way. Iran's Parliament speaker threatened Sunday that his country could produce mines \like seeds\ and sow them in the gulf, where an explosive damaged a tanker in the first U.S.-escorted Kuwaiti convoy last month. But in a surprise announcement, Iran's foreign minister said Tehran would welcome a visit by the U.N. secretary-general to discuss security in the gulf. The mine-sweeping helicopters secretly arrived in the gulf over the weekend aboard the carrier USS Guadalcanal, a witness said. The RH-53D Sea Stallion helicopters made intermittent flights during a 10-hour periodi Sun- day, said Brent Sadler, a cor- respondent for the British ITN television network, in an interview from a chartered vessel in the gulf. He said the helicopters, along with ¥H-1 gunships, circled the carrier and performed low-level passes above the water in an ap- parent practice drill. The helicopters drag sonarbuoys and sleds with explosive charges through the water to locate mines and break their anchor cables. The mines then rise to the surface where they are exploded by gun- fire. The 11,000-ton Guadalcanal was sent to the Persian Gulf when mines threatened to disrupt the U.S. plan for reflagging 11 Kuwaiti oil tankers and protecting them from Iranian attack. Iraq accuses Kuwait of aiding Iraq, Tehran's enemy in a 7-year-old war. The second U.S.-escorted convoy was moored off Kuwait's al- Ahmadi terminal, its engines idl- ing, ready to set out through the gulf, witnesses said. The last of the three tankers* trie 46,723-ton Gas King, finished loading late Satur- day. In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Maj. William W. Miller said he had no information<on when the Navy would order the depar- ture. The discovery of mines in the Persian Gulf and in the Gulf of Oman, to the south, has also pro- mpted Britain and' France to dispatch mine sweepers to protect their ships. The British ships were scheduled to leave Scotland today. Last week, a U.S.-operated supertanker, the Texaco Carib- bean, hit a mine in the Gulf of Oman. On Saturday, the 240-ton supply boat Anita, owned by a United Arab Emirates company, was blown out of the water by a mine in the Gulf of Oman. One crewman died, five were missing and five were in- jured. Sharpshooters of the United Arab Emirates army detonated two more mines Sunday in the same area, off the Emirates port of Fu- jairah. At least six other mines were reported found in the past week. A tanker anchorage in the Gulf of Oman was closed to boats after the Anita sank,, and one shipping source said Sunday the area was \totally empty.\ Rain Can Be Unpredictable Party Stopper BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether you're planning to picnic or just mow the lawn, it pays to know what the chances are that rain will have the final say. And when making plans, how often it rains where you live may be more important than to the predic- tion than the more common measure, how much. \We are accustomed to talking about precipitation in termsof how much falls,\ report Nolan J. Doesken and William P. Eckrich in the latest issue of Weatherwise magazine. \For such purposes as farming, sewage treatment, flood control and highway design, how much is what matters most.\ One Of Septuplets Dies; Last Five Babies 50-50 LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - One of Britain's six surviving sep- tuplets died this morning and the survival chances of the remaining five babies are less than 50 percent, their doctor said. Dr. Richard Cooke, speaking in a British Broadcasting Corp. televi- sion interview, said \one of the babies deteriorated badly and died.\ The other five tiny infants — three girls and two boys — were do- ing better in Liverpool General Hospital's intensive care neo-natal unit but still faced a struggle to sur- vive, he said. A Mersey Regional Health Authority spokesman identified the baby who died as Leah, the sixth- born, who weighed 1 pound 4 ounces. The cause of death was not released. Britain's first septuplets, born 15 weeks premature, were delivered during a 7-minute period Saturday in Liverpool in northwestern England. One of them, a boy weighing 1 pound, died 25 minutes after the Caesarean delivery, Their parents, Susan and Neil Halton, \are obviously very sad and distressed by what happened during the night and are very tired,\ Cooke said. $1,000 Reward Offered For Kidnapped Baby NEW YORK (AP) — A $1,000 reward has been offered by the parents of a month-old baby kid- napped from Harlem Hospital two weeks ago. • \I want to know if my baby's OK,\ Carlina White's father, Carl Tyson, told the New York Post on Sunday. \Send me a letter, phone me, anything. Give us our baby back.\ Tyson, 22, said he and the baby's mother, Joy White, 16, of 1350 Broadway, have spent their days since Carlina's Aug. 4 abduction waiting by the telephone. \My wife stays by the phone,\ Tyson said. \If not her, somebody's always posted.\ White was taken from the hospital's pediatric unit after being admitted with a 103-degree fever two hours earlier. The New York Post reported in today's editions that the couple received two phone calls last week from an anonymous woman who said: \Your baby's safe, your baby's safe,\ then hung up. Elvis Observance Over BY WOODY BAIRD MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Elvis Presley faithful were leaving Memphis today following an emo- tional nine-day observance mark- ing the 10th anniversary of the singer's death. \We just wanted to be close to Elvis at this time. It's such a special year,\ said Lorraine Punter of London as she looked over the rows of flower stands along a walkway to Presley's grave, Ms. Punter, 23, saved for a year and a half to make the pilgrimage. The celebration, called Elvis In- ternational Tribute Week, drew more than 50,000 tourists and fans to Presley's former residence, Graceland, and its 36,000-square- foot souvenir shopping center, managers of the house said. They came from across the United States and from France, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan and other foreign countries to take part in dances, musical shows, memorial services, Elvis trivia contests and tours of places around town that played a part in Presley's life.

Measured by total rainfall, it is. But Syracuse, N.Y., with only about two-thirds the total rainfall, actually has precipitation twice as often as Miami, their calculations show. Likewise, New Orleans has near- ly half again as much rain as Portland, Ore., for example, but it rains twice as often in Portland as in New Orleans. That could help explain why Miami and New Orleans have reputations as sunny southern cities, while Portland and Syracuse are thought of as having damper climates.

But Doesken and Eckrich stress that there's anotlier way of looking at rain: how much of the time is moisture actually falling out of the sky. By that count, Portland has measurable rain, during more than 1,000 hours in; a xiormal year. New Orleans receives less than half that, with rain falling just over 450 hours, according to the study. Indeed, Portland's total annual water collection is topped by several cities, including Miami, Boston, Atlanta and Memphis, Tenn., according to weather records. But in terms of hours when rain is falling, Portland is No. 1, follow- ed by Syracuse and Buffalo, N.Y, according to new calculations by Doesken, assistant Colorado state climatologist, and Eckrich, of Fort Collins, Colo. Doesken first looked into how much of the time it rains as part of a study of air quality problems associated with gravel and dirt roads, since road dust tends to be directly related to the number of hours when rain is falling. Using National Weather Service records, he and Eckrich have ex- panded the study to many other parts of the nation. NOW OPEN!
