His staff will churn out analyses and memos. Bauer said he also will act as a White House watchdog for conservative principles. His office will act as a clearinghouse for all domestic policy proposals from Cabinet members and other administration officials en route to the president. Bauer, 40, has been undersecretary of education since 1985 and before that was deputy undersecretary for planning, budget and evaluation.

He also led a special administration task force last year that urged steps to strengthen the traditional family, including denial of certain welfare payments to single mothers under 21 who live with their parents. Bauer's parents, Stanley and Betty Bauer, Newport, are proud of their only child. "Whatever he wants, we want," Betty Bauer said Friday. Bauer's wife, Carol, is on leave from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Ford, vice president of the engine programs. Aerospace analyst Paul Nisbit of Prudential Bache said he was not surprised the Air Force leaned toward Pratt Whitney this year. "If the volume gets out of whack for any period of time, it's going to kill the competition.

So you wonder how much competition there is." The Air Force predicts the competition will save more than $4 billion during the life of the engine program. The Air Force spent about $470 million to develop the competitive fighter-engine program. Wolfgang Demisch, aerospace analyst for First Boston said the average price of the engines is down about 20 in the last two years. "So you can argue from the Air Force's perspective that the competition is working," he said. "My suspicion is that both companies are leaving a lot of money on the table to get market share," Demisch said.

Because of spending cuts and the winding down of programs, he said, GE and Pratt are battling for a shrinking U.S. military engine market. Friday's order doesn't diminish GE's overall leadership in military and commercial engines, he said. "GE's still the No. 1 engine producer," he said.

Military sales account for about two-thirds of GE's $6.5 billion jet-engine business, with commercial engines accounting for the rest. GE officials have said they expect the breakdown- between military and commercial sales to be more like 50-50 going into the next decade. The Air Force said competition will continue until either engine becomes superior or orders are insufficient to justify two suppliers. Between 1985 and 1990, the Air Force projects, 1,800 engines will be purchased. The full cost of the program is about $7 billion.

Said Secretary Aldridge: "I look forward to an even more intense battle next year." Hostages CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1 According to this account, Waite went to Lebanon on his latest rescue mission at the suggestion of Jumblatt, who had informed the churchman late last year that he had "links" to Hezbollah that might be helpful in the effort to liberate the two U.S. hostages. An-Nahar quoted unnamed sources as saying Waite was not detained by the hostage holders and would return to Beirut within two days. It did not elaborate. Waite is the personal emissary of Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie.

He is believed to have been negotiating with the funda-. mentalist Shiite Moslem captors of two Americans seized in 1985: Terry Anderson, 39, chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, and Thomas Sutherland, 55, acting dean of agriculture at the American University of Beirut. In its edition published Friday, the weekly magazine Al-Shiraa quoted a source identified only as a ranking Moslem clergyman as saying, "There is a possibility that Waite was kidnapped." The magazine added without elaboration: "Circles close to Moslem fundamentalists stressed that Waite is under house arrest." A Christian radio station claimed Waite is carrying letters from U.S. captives held in the Bekaa Valley. "Waite has met American captives in Bekaa villages.

He is carrying some letters from them to their relatives," the Voice of Lebanon said. "Waite was driven blindfolded from one village to another." McGinnis contended in his lawsuit against the city that he had been forced to retire in December, 1983 two months after his 60th birthday because of his age. Murray testified during the trial that he wanted to fire McGinnis for incompetence, but agreed to keep him on the payroll as assistant to the city manager until his 60th birthday so he would be eligible for full retirement benefits. After he left city hall, McGinnis became director of parks and recreation for the city of Evansville, Ind. He resigned that position after four months under pressure from that city's administration.

McGinnis had served as Cincinnati recreation superintendent 13 years before he became safety director. BY LINDA HOUSTON The Cincinnati Enquirer and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Newport native Gary L. Bauer, named Friday as the new chief adviser on domestic policy development, said his goal is to make sure the last two years of the Reagan presidency are not wasted. There are a lot of people in Washington who hope that he (Reagan) folds his tent the next two years, but I for one will do all I can si doesn't hap- Gary Bauer pen," said new adviser Bauer, the No. 2 official in the Education Department.

"I know the president's philosophy. I know what he wants to do the last two years." Bauer, a lawyer and former lobbyist with strong conservative credentials, spoke in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C. As head of the Office of Policy Development, Bauer said he will Iran CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1 that this was a special one-time operation based on humanitarian grounds decided by the president within his constitutional responsibility to act in the service of the national interest." The Senate report said Poindex-ter "rejected the secretary's advice." The report also said Poindexter had spoken with Vice President Bush, Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger and CIA director William J. Casey.

Poindexter reported they all agreed to remain "absolutely close-mouthed while stressing that basic policy toward Iran, the Gulf War and dealing with terrorists had not changed." At that time the administration had been secretly shipping weapons to Iran for at least eight months, despite its efforts to stop other nations from doing so. The Senate report describes a memorandum prepared in mid-October, 1986, by a CIA officer, who is not identified. The memo, it said, "proposed certain damage-control procedures in the event the initiative became public." The "damage-control" procedures were not described. Casey's deputy, Robert Gates told the Senate committee that he and Casey recommended to Poindexter Oct. 15 that Reagan ought to make the Iran initiative public to avoid having it "leak out in dribs and drabs." Poindexter's response is not recorded, but no public statement was made.

In early November, as the clandestine deals were reported, senior White House officials struggled to keep the details secret. Water CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1 the part of all of us." The House has scheduled a vote Tuesday on overriding the veto, and Senate action is expected later in the week. A two-thirds vote is needed to override it. The measure calls for $18 billion for sewage treatment facilities and $2 billion for waterway cleanup over an eight-year period. Ohio's senators predicted the veto would be overridden.

"The president's veto is outrageous, unwise and unrealistic," said Sen. Howard Metzenbaum. Said Sen. John Glenn: "He says he's for clean water, but then he McGinnis CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1 faced at city hall, Chabot said, he decided McGinnis had to go. "It didn't make any sense for him to be there if it was going to alienate key people in the administration," Chabot said Friday.

He said it was a particularly sensitive matter because backlash came from within the Safety Department. "As chairman of the Law and Safety Committee, I did not want to antagonize people that I have to deal with all the time," the Republican councilman said. McGinnis could not be reached for comment. Chabot said McGinnis' services in his office were minor.

But Speakes added, "The other motive was, I didn't have the facts, obviously." On Nov. 13, Reagan delivered his first public address on the Iran initiative. "The charge has been made that the United States has shipped weapons to Iran as ransom payment for the release of American hostages in Lebanon that the United States undercut its allies, and secretly violated American policy against trafficking with terrorists," he said.

"Those charges are utterly false," Reagan declared. But the Senate report documents case after case in which hostages and arms shipments were discussed as part of a package. And the report discloses that North told Attorney General Edwin Meese III on Nov. 22 that the president was preoccupied with the hostages. The report adds, "North said that when he spoke with the president it was in terms of a strategic linkage.

With the president, said North, it always came back to hostages. According to Meese, North said it was a terrible mistake to say that the president wanted a strategic relationship, because the president wanted the hostages." Speakes, briefing at the White House Friday on his last day as presidential spokesman, said North's recollections do "not necessarily hold water" because North "was never in any private intimate conversations with the president." refuses to back up that commitment with legislation and resources." Sierra Club President Lawrence Downing called the veto "an insult to the health and the environment of the American people." Eric Draper, speaking for the lobbying group Clean Water Action Project, said if Reagan had visited "Baltimore's Back River (sewage treatment) Plant or the Boston Harbor or Pittsburgh, he would understand that economic growth is tied to clean water." "He sent a message to the country, which is 'just say out newspaper clippings, little things like that," he said. Greg Vehr, Chabot's adminis--trative assistant, said McGinnis gave him some advice based on his experience in city hall. Chabot said McGinnis had called Hamilton County Republican headquarters about his availability to help at city hall. "His name came up in one of our caucuses and I said that maybe I could use him because he had a lot of knowledge of city government," said Chabot, a first-term councilman.

"Not having been around city hall when he was there, I was not aware of how strong the feelings were against him by some people in the MARANTZ CASSETTE DECK FRONT LOAD SOFT TOUCH CONTROLS LED RECORD METERS DOLBY AND NOISE REDUCTION SD242 ORG. $129.00 $59. ma rnt coe At HI AM SANYO VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDER FRONT LOAD DESIGN DIGITAL TUNER TIMER HI-SPEED SEARCH REMOTE CONTROL VCR4010 ORG. $349.00 $199.
