Otto Passman, report they still have at least one more day of questions to be answered. Defense attorney CamUle Gravelle said Tuesday he still has several areas of questioning for Park, who is the government's key witness in the bribery-tax evasion case against Passman. "The government has got its jigsaw puzzle and we've got ours," Gravelle said.

"It's long and tedious probably boring to a lot of people but it's Just necessary." Park was expected to be asked about a ledger he kept from 1870 to 1972, in which he recorded how much money he allegedly doled out to several congressman, including Passman. Today was Park's sixth day on the stand, the fourth under defense questioning. The 78-year-old Passman is accused of receiving $193,000 in cash from Park, jvho says he gave $800,000 to several congressman during the early 1970s when his multimillion-dollar rice commission business was booming. When Gravel does finish with Park, prosecutors are prepared to call former Rep. Richard Hanna, D-Calif who is the only elected official to serve time in prison for accepting campaign contributions from Park.

Hanna pleaded guilty last year to one count of defrauding the federal government by accepting $250,000 in bribes. He is currently serving a prison sentence and is scheduled to be released this year. Park's former girlfriend, Tandy Dickinson, testified Tuesday she summoned her neighbor, U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell, to the telephone in her Washington apartment for a long-distance conversation with Park in September of 1977. Park, who fled the United States in 1976 shortly before he was indicted on 36 counts of bribery, consistently had refused Justice Department requests to return to the United States and testify.

But during the phone call to Mrs. Dickinson, who lived "just around the bend" from Bell in the Watergate apartment complex, Park apparently told the attorney general he would testify in the "Koreagate" scandals. Bell wrote in a 1977 memorandum of the incident that Park told him "he loved Washington and was anxious to return." Park's previous testimony in the Passman trial was that he voluntarily contacted Bell and offered to testify about his role in the influence-peddling case even though he ignored two letters from President Carter urging him to do the same thing. Mrs. Dickinson, the former wife of a Maryland real estate broker, also said she took Park's 1972 diary from his library in 1974 and kept it for two years before turning it over to William Hundley, Park's attorney.

CAN OF 3 PEHCJ TENNIS BALLS LADIES' SCARVES lop To It Savings called a 'force BATON ROUGE (UPI)-An Invitation by members of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board to open talks aimed at ending a four-day teacher strike turned into a closed-door meeting that excluded teachers, the leader of 2,300 striking teachers has charged. "We finally asked if they would mind stopping the farce," Lennie Penn, president of the East Baton Rouge chapter of the Louisiana Association of Educators, said Tuesday. Ms.

Penn, a junior high school social studies teacher, said she was amazed by the attitude of board officials at a meeting intended to open communications. "We went to the board Tuesday afternoon to attend a committee meeting on opening communications between the board and the teachers," Ms. Penn said. "Soon after we arrived, the board voted to go into executive session." Ms. Penn said the school board stayed in executive session for three hours, leaving leaders of the teachers' strike in a room with one or two board members and a running tape recorder.

"We were to express how the board could communicate to us and we were sitting there talking to a room with one board member and a superintendent and a tape recorder," she said. "Finally, after three hours, the president of the board came into the room and read a statement that offered us absolutely nothing. There was not a person in the room who understood what she said." Ms. Penn said teachers will remain out of class until the school board agrees to negotiate a contract with the organization. Teachers voted to strike Friday morning after the board voted their demand to discuss collective bargaining rights.

More than 2,300 of the parish's 3,600 teachers were out of class Tuesday and student attendance in the school district was down by two-thirds. School bus drivers joined the strike Tuesday and custodial and lunchroom workers also refused to cross picket lines. "We are getting calls from more parents saying their children are not being picked up," said Mary Cupit, a spokeswoman for the school board. She said half the drivers did not drive their routes Tuesday morning. At one suburban junior high school, 70 students out of 700 registered reported to class Tuesday.
