A-1U THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- it GASOLINE ALLEY mm. SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1990 Official calls law to protect species 'just too tough' By H. JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington Conservationists reacted with anger Friday to Interior Secretary Manuel Lu-jan's suggestion that a $200 million telescope should be built despite its potential effect on an endangered squirrel. "Do we have to save every subspecies?" Lujan had asked. Interviewed Thursday by the Denver Post, the Interior secretary noted the controversy surrounding the Arizona project, which could be stopped under the Endangered Species Act.

At issue is the Mount Graham red squirrel. All that are left about 1 80 are in a colony on the mountain where the University of Arizona and the Smithsonian Institution want to build a telescope and observatory. Conservationists have sought to stop construction because the squirrel is on the Endangered Species List. In the Interview, Lujan suggested Congress should soften the act and commented: "Do we have to save every subspecies? The red squirrel is the best example. Nobody's told me the difference between a red squirrel, a black one or a brown one." He also said the law was "Just too tough." Michael Francis of the Wilderness Society said the interview "shows Mr.

Lujan's Incredible lack of understanding of biology arid public policy." Steve Goldstein, Lujan's press secretary, said his boss wants Congress to determine whether the Endangered Species Act "is being implemented correctly." 1 "He wants Congress to look at two things. How far down we should go in protecting subspecies, and what protection should be afforded when the same species exist in multiple locations," said Goldstein. fir iiiiilif if Rahal, In the STPKraco '90 LolaChevy, turned in his best showing of the month at 224.607 mph, and Arie Luyendyk went 224.579 In the Domino'sProvimi '90 LolaChevy. "What a deal: You run 224.5 and you're only sixth-best," said Luyendyk, breaking Into a smile. "They barely mention you on the PA system." Danny Sullivan, the third member of the Penske team, finally got going in the other Marlboro '90 PenskeChevy with a lap of 223.686.

Also finding some speed was the Porsche team as Teo Fabi traveled 221.784 in his Fosters-guaker State '90 March-Porsche, and teammate John Andretti found 220.913 in his. Michael Andretti, in the other martHavoline '90 Lola-Chevy, was sandwiched in between the Porsche team at 221.697 mph. There were three accidents during the day, all Involving 1989 cars. That brought the total crashes for the month to nine all pre-1990 models. Jim Crawford, in the Glidden Paint '89 LolaBuick, survived a spectacular crash during happy hour.

He spun, hit the wall and was launched some 1 5 to 20 feet in the air. The plucky veteran limped away with some badly bruised kneesand his car was destroyed. Rookies Jeff Andretti and Jeff Wood also tagged the wall, but both escaped Injury. 41. 42.

The shell, which resembled a washer without a hole, struck Philip In the arm. Henderson said the shell may have ricocheted off the floor before striking the student. "His parents were very nice and supportive," said Henderson. "But it was an embarrassing situation for us.

It was carelessness and I feel bad. The officer feels bad."

The Indiana Supreme Court reviews all death penalty cases before the sentence can be carried out. Barnes said It was "difficult both professionally and personally" to remain silent under the Judge's gag order when Matheney made allegations that Barnes had been romantically involved with Lisa Blanco. "Lisa Bfanco was a victim of a crime and was treated In a professional manner by me and other members of the (prosecutor's office) staff." said Barnes.

Fittipaldi, in his initial May drive with Team Penske, was also happy. "It's always fun to go quicker, but I think Little Al spoiled our afternoon," said the defending CART champion.

"Today's conditions were absolutely perfect very little wind, and that's as fast as we can go. "Without the (new) rules, we would go 2-3 miles per hour quicker, maybe 230." Mears, the all-time Indy pole king with five, might have come close to that 230 lap before he was balked by the caution light. "I was pissed because we had a good lap going," declared the three-time Indy winner. "I went through (Turns) 1 and 2 the best I ever have since I've been here. "Then, going down the back-stretch, the yellow came on.

I decided to park it instead of trying again. I didn't want to do anything crazy."

The charge Friday alleges that Circle and Its former officers In 1987 reported false earnings of $3,259,000 for 1986 and false earnings of $1,735,000 through the second quarter of 1987.
