Bakker telk followers V. to forgive his accusers CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) PTL founder Jim Bakker railed against the news media but urged followers of his New Covenant Church to forgive his accusers Sunday in his first public remarks since being indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges. "If the news media wasn't the biggest moneymaker today, would they still pay people $1 million to lie and tell stories?" he said during a 20-minute message to about Bakker 400 followers. "The love of money is the root of all evil." "They ask us, 'Why don't you attack your The Devil wants me to renounce my salvation and attack, attack, attack.

The Bible says 'Love your "I'm not going to lift a finger to attack my enemies. I'm not going to lift a finger to vindicate me. That will put cold chills down your enemy's spine." Bakker also talked about his reac- Programs fail to cover medical costs tion to being fingerprinted and having his mug shot taken at the federal courthouse in Charlotte. "I looked up at all those wanted posters and I thought, 'No one is smiling so I Bakker said. "If I'm going to be on the walls of post offices, I'm going to smile." Bakker did not allow reporters inside the converted skating rink where his New Covenant Church has Sunday services.

However, some of his remarks could be heard through the door. Bakker has declined interviews since his indictment Monday on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy. He and three of his former associates were indicted after a 16-month federal grand jury investigation of the PTL television ministry. Bakker, 48, and Richard Dortch, 57, his former top deputy at PTL, were accused of diverting more than $4 million of their followers' money to support their own "lavish and extravagant" lifestyles. They and the others are expected to appear Thursday before U.S.

Magistrate Paul Taylor. (Continued from Page 1) quired to donate one toy or food item to the toy run. The purpose of the event is to collect toys for needy children. The toys are to be given along with Christmas food baskets to needy families in the Salina area. About 250 families are registered and an estimated 400 to 500 children are waiting to receive toys.

Families can register through Friday. The group started at Mid State Mall, 2450 S. Ninth, and wound through Salina, passing by Marymount College and Kansas Wesleyan. The parade of bikers and cars then headed north on Santa Fe and stopped at the Salvation Army Corps Community Center, 1137 N. Santa Fe, where the toys were to be sorted.

Although some bikers braved the icy, snowpacked streets on their motorbikes, many opted to drive their cars instead of riding the dangerous streets, said Golden Eagles members Terry Harris, 1233 N. Ninth. "It's getting better every year because more groups are participating," Harris said. The pile of toys around the Christmas tree at the Salvation Army was proof that the Toy Run was successful this years, despite the slick roads. "This is much better than last year," said army director Dale Hunt.

"We had more bikers collecting for it. We have more than double than last year. It looks like we'll have just about enough to give each child at least one used and one new toy." (Continued from Page 1) the federal poverty standard are covered by Medicaid. Medicaid combines federal and state funds to cover the costs of health care for the poor. "It's safe to assume that the other 62 percent aren't in a position to pay their bills," said Michael Mense, vice president of finance for the Kansas Hospital Association.

Though percentages vary with each hospital, most administrators say Medicaid payments cover 60 percent to 65 percent of a hospital's costs. The state hospital association recently launched a campaign to protest shortfalls in the federal Medicare program. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 and over and for the disabled. Fewer helped The losses are coming as the state is pumping more money into welfare programs, but fewer people are being helped. The Medicaid program in Kansas spent $229.2 million on medical services for 182,503 recipients in fiscal 1982.

In fiscal 1988, which ended June 30, $279.4 million was spent on 174,882 recipients. Caliendo criticized Kansas' welfare policies by citing a 1987 study by the Public Citizen Health Research Group that found doctors, hospitals and nursing homes were among the most accommodating in the nation. But the state's reimbursement rates rank 42nd in the nation. "It's nice to strut around saying we're wonderful and that our service providers care, but nobody bothers to look at the other side of the equation," Caliendo said. "Ten years ago, all we ever talked about was quality of health care; nowadays, all we hear about is the cost.

We've reached a point where technology is allowing us to do more and more, but the public wants to spend less and less. We can't have it both ways." City hospitals lose Ruth Coleman, vice president of the Kansas City Area Hospital Association, said 31 hospitals in the metropolitan area reported a combined loss of $244.5 million in unpaid care in 1985. By 1987, the annual loss was $408.8 million. The hospitals' gross receipts for 1987 was $1.5 billion. Between 1981 and 1985, Kansas City hospitals' costs increased 123 percent while their rates increased 59 percent, Coleman said, noting that half the hospitals lost money on patient care in 1987.

"We're not crying wolf," Coleman said. "The situation is at the breaking point. Without new money, public access to the health care system is in jeopardy. There's no way things can continue the way they are." St. Mary's, a 300-bed hospital in the downtown area, and the osteopathic University of Health Services hospital both closed within the past year.

Memorial Hospital in Topeka recently closed its medical and surgical programs. Shelters troubled Similar problems affect the church-sponsored shelters. "People in the church and healthcare programs are in the same boat," said the Rev. Martin Holler, Arkansas City. Holler served seven years as executive director of United Methodist Urban Ministries, Wichita, art agency responsible for coordinating the city's programs for the homeless.

"They're basically caring people who are frustrated in trying to figure out how to respond to a very serious problem without going bankrupt. So far, they haven't come up with an answer." Despite the heartwarming images generated by church-sponsored soup kitchens, church leaders are sharply divided over their obligations to the poor, Holler said. Most prefer "ministering to the spiritual needs of the individual rather than taking on the tougher issues posed by the poor," he said. "There's a constant tension over which is more important, and it coincides with the constant struggle for bucks, "Holler said. "The sad thing is that most people can see the Thanksgiving dinner, or the Christmas food basket, or the toys for tots.

But these are one-shot deals that don't do anything to solve long-term needs. "The programs that go after those needs aren't as visible and they're not as So groups come in, make their big push, and everybody goes home thinking 'I've done my "There are times when these groups almost do more harm that good. If we as a Christian society are prepared to make sacrifices in order to improve the lot of those around us, we're going to have to do a lot more than get involved on Christmas, Thanksgiving and The Rev. Gerry Winget, who succeeded Holler at Urban Ministries, said church programs cannot afford complacency. "This agency is doing everything it can with the resources it has we are stretched to the limit," he said.

"And yet we're told the economy is in good shape, that we're doing well. "That being the case, I cannot imagine what we'd do if we ever fall back into a recession. That's my nightmare." iS Airplane (Continued from Page 1) shipped away. But he added, "Suppose we had too many Armenian children to be adopted in Armenia. Why should you object to Russians or people of any other nationality helping here?" The earthquake has aggravated a severe refugee problem in the southern republic of Armenia, where thousands of ethnic Armenians fled because of anti-Armenian rioting in neighboring Azerbaijan.

The Kremlin has rebuffed efforts by Armenian nationalists to annex an Armenian-dominated region of Azerbaijan, and a dissident source told a London newspaper that Soviet officials Saturday arrested about half of the 11 leaders of a nationalist group. In his television comments Sunday, Gorbachev accused supporters of annexation of trying to take advantage of instability created by the earthquake to push for control of the Armenian region. "They are waging a battle for power, and they must be stopped," he said. He also promised Armenians an investigation into why new buildings collapsed in the quake while older structures generally remained standing. Many survivors took shelter in tents Sunday, when temperatures were in the low 40s.

In Leninakan, Armenia's second- largest city near the Turkish border, stacks of red, black or unfinished wood coffins were piled on street corners. Mayor Emil Kirokofyan told for- eign correspondents that recently constructed apartment buildings were not built to withstand such a severe earthquake, even though Leninakan is located in an area of frequent earthquakes. Choking back tears, the mayor told reporters he lost 15 relatives. Hundreds of bonfires fueled by cardboard, trash or debris provided heat for people. "I don't have anywhere to live.

I am homeless," cried an old woman walking out of rescue headquarters, where officials had put her on a list for new housing. Wreck (Continued from Page 1) under control, traffic in the westbound lane was diverted into an eastbound lane and around the accident. Traffic in the eastbound lanes was slowed thoughout the ordeal. Brown said the truck lost control only moments after two cars ahead of it were involved in a non-injury accident. The cars were driven by Linda M.

Christenson, Osage City, and Brooke Johnson, McPherson. Brown said Christenson lost control of her car on the bridge, causing Johnson to hit it. "Then along came the semi, which went out of control when the driver tried to avoid hitting the cars," Brown said. Dave Connon, Chicago, was driving east on 1-70 and approaching the Saline River bridge when the accidents occurred. Connon said the truck was traveling in the inside lane when it went out of control.

"The truck was on the other bridge, and I saw his cab turn at an odd angle," Connon said. "Then it started ripping off the guardrail and going up in flames." The truck ripped about 30 yards of metal guardrail mounted on a 3-foot concrete base. When the truck came to rest, about halfway across the bridge, the cab was hanging precariously over the edge of the bridge, burning rapidly. Tom Huntsman, a truck driver from Kansas City, was traveling west and witnessed the accident Sleep from about a quarter of a mile away. He said the car and the truck had passed him shortly before the accident and were going about 55 miles an hour.

Huntsman stopped at the scene and ran to the scene to help. That came as a relief to Connon, who said he was hopelessly witnessing the horror from across the median strip. "I saw another trucker running toward the burning truck," Connon said. "I was thankful for that because I didn't know what to do and I didn't have a C.B. band radio) to call for help." When Huntsman reached the scene, the cab had caught fire and its two occupants were trying to escape.

Huntsman said flames were coming out of the fuel tank, and the cab was quickly being engulfed. Then the truck's left front tire exploded, he said. The tire explosion might have saved the lives of the driver and his brother. "When the tire blew, it blew out the fire for a few seconds," Huntsman said. The driver then stood on the left front wheel and climbed onto the icy bridge.

The passenger also climbed to the bridge. The truck, a commercial moving van, was hauling household items and a BMW car, located in the rear of the truck. Several witnesses said that after the driver escaped he tried unsuccessfully to remove the BMW from the burning trailer. Light snow combined with freezing temperatures contributed to the many accidents in the area. A head-on collision between a car and a tractor-trailer occurred about 7 Weather p.m.

Sunday on Old Highway 40 near New Cambria. A series of accidents also occurred at a bridge on 1-70, near the Saline- Lincoln county line. About 3:30 p.m., a car driven by Jeanne H. Wickham, 30, Salt Lake City, was headed east on 1-70, when it skidded across the ice-glazed bridge. The car was pulling a U-Haul trailer and the trailer hitch snapped as the car slid.

The trailer came to rest on its side in the median. Wickham was not injured. The car sustained about $800 damage. Shortly after Wickham's car left the road, it was struck by another car, which was driven by Peter Bartel, 67, Wichita. Bartel's car, which was headed east, slid across the icy road and struck Wickham's car.

Wickham was not in the car at the time. Bartel was not injured. A passenger in Bartel's car, Amanda Bartel, 64, Wichita, also was not injured. A patrol car, which had stopped to investigate the accident involving Wickham and Bartel, was struck by another car about 5 p.m. The car, driven by Debra K.

Ford, Hays, was headed east in the passing lane, when it slid across the roadway and struck the patrol car. Ford and two passengers in the car, Andrew A. Thayer, 10, Salina, and Kenneth R. Walton, 12, Land- sborg, were thrown from the car. They were not wearing seat belts Ford and Walton were taken to St.

John's Hospital. Ford was listed in stable condition. Walton was being held for observation. Thayer was not injured. F.Y.I.

Laid off from her job in January, she started receiving food stamps in March. In August she became eligible for Aid for Dependent Children.

She would like to go back to work if she could find a job that would pay enough so she could afford a baby sitter for her children. She has worked at fast-food restaurants before but says those jobs don't pay enough to make it worthwhile. "I can't really afford a job on minimum wage," she said. Brenda's 14-year-old car has no window in the driver's door so she does not drive it in cold weather. Without a job and a car, Brenda stays home a lot.

"Sometimes I go batty sitting around here," she said. The family has a small artificial Christmas tree with four presents underneath one for each child and one for Brenda from her children. "They broke into their piggy bank to buy me one," she said. For Christmas, her children need clothes. She also would like to have more sheets and a bunk bed.
