Philly exchange security tightened
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Three guards wearing holstered
pistols and bullet belts were on duty yesterday at the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange in the wake of the shootings of two brokers in
Miami.
Robert Leavitt, captain in charge of the exchange's normal
security force of 21 officers, said Monday's shootings, which left
one broker dead, prompted the hiring of the additonal armed
guards.
"Everything is normal, and there really are no concerns, but we
just want to be ready just in case," Leavitt said.
Joseph Rizzello, exchange vice president, said there had been no
violent acts in Philadelphia.
"We have a good security system, but we just made it a little
stiffer," he said.
Suit for strip-searched students filed
PITTSBURGH ( AP) The parents of 21 elementary students,
who were ordered to partially disrobe during a search for a missing
watch, have sued a Beaver County school district.
"They may not know how to spell 'Constitution,' but we're going
to see to it that they at least understand part of it," said Rosa
Petties, whose son, Marvin Wilson, 9, was among those searched on
Oct. 7.
The suit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh by
the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Civil Liberties
Union on behalf of the fourth-graders at Neel Elementary School in
Midland.
According to the suit, the defendants subjected the children,
ranging in age from 9 to 11, to "a senseless, degrading strip search
for a watch which was not lost."

Critics say drug war losing ground
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP ) A year after President Reagan
signed legislation to wage a war on drugs, critics said yesterday the
first battle has been lost and support has failed to reach the front
lines: the streets of the nation's cities.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors released a study showing that
fewer than half of 42 selected major cities surveyed have received
commitments for money under the law for local drug education,
treatment and enforcement programs.
Fewer still have actually received any of the $7OO million, the
study said.
Rep. Charles B. Rangel, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Select
Committee on Narcotics, accused the administration of delaying
distribution of the federal money through the states to the cities.
"Even though it was a tremendous legislative victory and even
though the president signed the bill with all the fanfare before the
elections, what he has effectively been able to do is to deter the flow
of legislative monies into the state and local communities," Rangel
said.
Deaver's influence questioned
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP ) Michael K. Deaver turned his
longtime association with President Reagan into a lucrative
lobbying business and later lied when questioned under oath about
his influence-peddling, the prosecutor charged yesterday at the
former presidential aide's perjury trial.
Deaver, whose association with the president dates back to
Reagan's days as governor of California "decided in 1985 to turn
that relationship into personal gain," leaving the White House staff
to form a public relations business, independent counsel Whitney
North Seymour Jr. said in opening remarks to the jury.
But defense lawyer Herbert J. Miller Jr. said if Deaver "in
tended to use that kind of influence he would have called the
president of the United States. But he's not that kind of man and he
didn't."
The former deputy White House chief of staff is charged with five
counts of lying to a House subcommittee and a federal grand jury.

S. Koreans approve constitution
SEOUL. South Korea ( AP) South Korean voters overwhelm
ingly approved a new constitution yesterday, establishing direct
presidential elections and other democratic reforms demanded in
extensive anti-government riots last summer.
In downtown Seoul, riot police battled protesters who urged
voters to boycott the referendum. Police said about 40 demonstra
tors were arrested.
Election officials declared the referendum approved early tod
day.
The approval rate was 94 percent when 54 percent of the total
ballots counted, but only a simple majority was needed. The final
results were expected later today.
The constitution reduces the power of the presidency and
increases the authority of the legislature and the judiciary.
President Chun Doo-hwan, who took power with military backing
in 1980. bowed to opposition demands for reforms in July and
announced that he would step down when his term ends Feb. 25.
Third radiation victim dies in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil ( AP) A junkyard worker who
helped break open a capsule containing radioactive cesium 137 died
yesterday, the third victim of the glowing substance he and friends
admired but did not understand.
Israel Batista dos Santos, 22, died after three weeks in critical
condition at a Rio hospital, the navy press office said.
Last Friday, a 6-year-old girl and her aunt died of infection
caused by radiation.
The bodies of Maria Gabriela Ferreira. 37, and her niece, Leide
Ferreira, were buried Monday in special lead coffins in Goiania,
located 850 miles northwest of Rio, where they were exposed to the
radiation.
A crowd of about 400 people, shouting "We don't want to be
contaminated," threw rocks at the caskets and formed a human
barrier to try to prevent the burial. State police were called in to
keep protesters back and the burial was carried out.
The cesium 137 was in a protective lead casing found in Septem
ber at a partly demolished cancer treatment center by junk
scavengers. Friends and neighbors admired the substance as
beautiful, rubbed it on their bodies and carried it in their pockets.
The cesium 137 contaminated 243 people. Doctors treated and
released 200 people, but 39 remained hospitalized.
Tourists trapped in Tibet bus
KATMANDU, Nepal IAP i About 150 tourists became snow
bound in buses en route from Tibet and urgently need help, a
Canadian said today after he left the group and hiked for five days
to reach Katmandu.
Fred Brooks said he and several other men who walked into
Katmandu informed the Chinese Embassy about the tourists'
plight and also sought help from the U.S. Embassy.
At least three Americans were on the buses, according the
mother of one of the travelers, who contacted The Associated
Press.
Rebecca Valette said the U.S. State Department notified her that
they believed her son, Pierre, was stranded.
Mrs. Valette said her son was traveling with his friend Chris Hill,
and Hill's cousin, Emily Hill. Hill, of Boulder, Colo., and Valette, of
Newton, Mass., recently graduated from Stanford University. They
are 22. Ms. Hill is from Lawrence, Kan.
Brooks said three buses carrying about 150 tourists out of Lhasa,
the capital of Tibet, to Nepal have been stalled in snow since Oct. 19
following a blizzard in the Tibetan plateau.
