i I i 1111 fill Hit a. i Ittar Mammy. Mammy, I've been shot." the youngster cried as he crumpled to the ground To the Catholic youth, raised on the glorious myths of rebellion and the realities of economic hardship stemming from decades of chronic unemployment, the British army is as much an occupying power as the Germans were France or Holland in World War II. ONE OF THE GENERATION of 1969 kids who grew up to carry a gun is Tatnck (Patsy) O'Hara. He's 24 now and one of the three jailed guerrillas who joined Sands" hunger strike in the Maze shortly after it was launched.

His 50-year-old father. James, said "Patsy was in the troubles from the start Brit soldiers shot him in the leg when he was 12 years old He's been a law to himself ever since. They made him what he is Patsy went to jail in January last year, sentenced to eight years for possessing a hand grenade. He's a member of the outlawed Irish National Liberation Army. His elder brother.

29-year-old Seamus. was interned as a suspected terrorist in 1971 and held for five years. Another brother. Tony. 25.

is serving a five-year term in the Maze for driving a getaway car in post office holdup. The elder O'Hara ran a grocery store at Londonderry until five years ago. when "five blokes jammed guns in my belly, ordered me out and blew the place to pieces." Continued From Page 1 brothers and a stolen, yellow construction hardhat. said as he waited for the policemen to charge agam "My dad locked me in my bedroom because he knows I want to be out here. But I got out the window" He pointed to the policemen, "peelers' in the ghetto slang, and said in the hard Belfast brogue: "They're all Prods (Protestants) those boys.

If I had a gun. I'd shoot the bloody lot of them. I've had too many lickings from them. They hate us and we hate them. That what this is all about." The teen-agers of 1963 who battled the troops and police now carry guns.

They joined the outlawed IRA't Provisional wing and its splinter groups fighting to end British rule in the Protestant-dominated province and unite it with the overwhelmingly Catholic Irish Republic. TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Jake Fallon of the Belfast rock band Stiff Little Fingers called his contemporaries "the barbed wire generation" because of the environment of conflict in which they've grown up. Hundreds of the nearly 2.100 dead in Ulster's agony have been youngsters. One was Paul Whitters, a 15-year-old Londonderry Catholic wounded fatally last month by a police-fired plastic bullet. Many of the casualties have been bystanders.

64 Steve Chassey 56 29 Bill Engelhart 28 55 Josele Garza 57.35 Bob Lazier American Telephone and Telegraph Corp. said interest rate levels will remain in the range of "14 to 16 percent" this year, and the unemployment rate will rise slightly to 7.6 percent before starting a slow decline over the next two years. In other specific categories, prices for passenger cars rose 1.4 percent during April after increasing 0.3 percent in March, while tobacco product prices climbed 51 percent following a year of generally small increases. Wholesale gasoline prices rose 1.3 percent after rising 7.5 percent in March, and fuel oil costs rose 1.7 percent after soaring 9 percent a month earlier. BESIDES THE figures on finished goods those ready for sale at retail the report also included price increases for goods at earlier stages of production Prices at the intermediate stage of production rose 11 percent in April, the same as in March, while prices for crude materials jumped 1.5 percent in April after declining 1.3 percent in March.

The sharp rise for crude materials was attributed to the first increase in food prices since last November. Crude materials include items such as wheat and iron ore. Intermediate goods include flour and rolled steel, while finished goods include bread and automobiles. With the April increase, the Producer Price Index for finished goods stood at 267 7. which means that goods which cost $10 in' 1967 now cost $26.77.

In its unemployment report, the government said the number of people holding jobs increased by 564,000 during April to 99 million, while the number of jobless Americans edged down by 18,000 to 7 7 million. Price Continued From Page 1 territory," said Allen Sinai, a vice-president at Data Resources Inc a Massachusetts forecasting firm. HE PREDICTED even lower PPI reports in the next two months since "by that time the energy bubble ill be pretty well out" of wholesale industries' systems. And a worldwide oil glut makes it unlikely that oil-exporting countries will raise prices very much very soon. President Reagan's decontrol of most remaining domestic crude oil prices played a big part in the March energy increase, analysts agree.

Overall sluggishness of the economy also will help hold prices down, Sinai said. And he and other economists said that the current robust strength of the dollar abroad will make imported goods cheaper. Donald Ratajczak, director of Georgia State University's Economic Forecasting Project, said the dollar's strength also argue about what should happen to it from there." BRANSON SAID he could not discuss specifics of the Jackson case, but outlined the general procedure followed by the IRS in such instances. "It's an unusual step to auction off personal property like this. When we do it.

it is always an absolute last resort," Branson said. He said it is done only after a taxpayer is notified by mail, telephone, and in person that he or she owes money to the IRS and is given a chance to pay. The fact that criminal charges are pending against Jackson. 27, and his 26-year-old wife has played no part in the actions of the IRS, Branson added. "How the money or property was obtained is of no interest to the IRS.

Our only interest is in collecting taxes," he said. The Jacksons who reportedly were the victims of a bizarre kidnap attempt earlier this month each are charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deal, possession of cocaine and possession of methadone. They are free on $10,000 bond apiece. means "our export industries will be hurting But he said that situation could make some of those companies compete more aggressively at home, at least partly through price reductions. FOOD PRICES WILL rise somewhat later in the year, he said But he also said the Agriculture Department's estimate that livestock prices will rise as much as 20 percent "has just got to come down." "Overall, the inflation numbers should be improving." he said.

With "a lot of passionate hope." corporate America is anticipating a better future under Reagan economics than even the White House predicts, a member of the Business Council said Friday at Hot Springs, Va The council, a group of corporate leaders who informally advise the White House, met at the Virginia mountain resort to trade forecasts of lower inflation and higher profits with government analysts. Any skepticism about the future was muted "I think there's a lot of passion ate hope here," said the chairman of Exxon Clifton C. Garvin. MURRAY WEIDENBAUM. chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, read a statement to the business leaders from Mr.

Reagan praising the House of Representatives for its vote Thursday approving the his budget package. Weidenbaum stressed the President will push for his original tax proposals to go along with it. Chairman Paul Volckcr of the Federal Reserve Board, another invited speaker, called the congressional action "promising" but cautioned that for now, most of the inflation-fighting will be done by the Fed's tight money policy. Slowing down price increases "is not a very pleasant process in all its aspects when you have the pressures in financial markets which are sometimes involved," Volcker said. He told reporters he hopes the government's books can show a surplus, instead of a deficit, "not next year, but (when) the economy is performing reasonably well." BUSINESS COUNCIL economists were only pessimistic about interest rates and unemployment.

Summarizing their forecast, chairman Charles L. Brown of teams have crested the 180 barrier. It took a 182 average to make the show last May. but it doesn't appear that figure get the job done this time around. Tickets Continued From Page 1 ney, said he is powerless to stop the auction because the IRS is acting within rights.

He said, however, he believes the tickets along with several pieces of antique jewelry and other items were improperly seized by police who raided Jacksons' home at 1230 U.S. 31 South. "WE JUST recently obtained a copy the search warrant, and there was nothing in it about race tickets or jewelry. In my opinion the polite should have left that stuff alone," Combs said. He filed a motion in Johnson Circuit Court shortly after the raid asking that race tickets and jewelry be returned.

However, the hearing on that motion won't be until next Friday four days after the IRS auction. "I think it's just amazing how fast the IRS can move when it wants to. Obviously they have to sell the tickets now, because their value drops off considerably after May 24," Combs said. "It's too late to do anything about the tickets now, but next week I'm hoping the State of Indiana will return this other property. Once that's done, then we can Rick Wear flirted ith 4500' Continued From Page 1 on the pack.

Friday's action tightened up that gap Mario Andrew, praying for a chance to qualify this weekend, gave Pat Patrick STP Wildcat a ride at 198 719 mph Andretti. the 1978 Grand Prix champion, has a Formula One race in Belgium next weekend and must get his chance today or Sunday or face what happened three Mays ago when Mike Hiss qualified for him and he started last. "I don't even like to think about it," the 1969 victor said when he was informed there was a 75 percent chance of rain for today and a similar forecast for Mother's Day "I think I'm capable of averaging 198 and that would give us a good run for the pole and ta not get a snot because of the weather would really be sad." Right behind Andretti in the speed lineup was teammate Gordon Johncock. who recorded a 197 585 circuit. The 1973 Indy champ was asked if he could maintain that pace for the 10-rrule run.

"IF EVERYTHING was right. like today, I could go faster," he answered. sure I could have gone quicker today but. there's no sense to hang it out all the way when it doesn't count." Danny Ongais. like he has all week, continued to improve in Ted Field's In-terscope Special.

Ongais mustered up a 197 109 clocking in Roman Slobodynskj's "Batmobile A Foyt. upset with accusations he's been "cheating" the Cosworth manifold pressure specs of 48 inches, responded with a lap of 196 4fi3 mph in his new Valvoline Coyote. The four-time Indy winner, who has been running 210-214 mph down the straightaways (some 7 to 10 mph quicker than anyone elsei all week, according to radar guns from various crews, said. "I'm tired of hearing how I'm cheating. Is there some crime for going fast down the straightaways' I've been working with my engine all winter and it's a strong one.

"But I'm happy with the new car, too, we just haven't had much time to sort it out yet." ONE OF THE MOST popular speeds of the day belonged to Mike Mosley Driving Dan Gurney's Eagle, powered by a Chevrolet, the talented little Californian cranked off a lap of 1 249 in his Pepsi Special. "I can run 194 fairly comfortable and it's gonna get better," said Mosley, whose corner times were the day's quickest. "We've only had about 25 hot laps so we'll have to go with this setup for the time being and try and get it more comfortable next week." Johnny Rutherford, defending champ and the man who sat on the pole in 1980 at 192.256 mph, checked in at 195.737 in Jim Hall's Pennzoil Chaparral and was asked if he was disappointed that seven men were quicker than he was. "I'm a little disappointed because we came here to win the pole," said the three-time Indy winner from Fort Worth. Texas.

"But it wasn't a surprise, we knew those guys would be fast because they've been working hard all winter and they've caught up. "But I think we can average 196 or 197 and that could still put us in the hunt depending on the conditions."

Patrick's No 3 man found 195 865 in his Intermedics Wildcat. We can go faster," said the Speedway sophomore from Garland, Texas, "because this is a very capable car." Rookie Bill Alsup, the third man in Peaske's lineup, turned in his best circuit the month with a 193 590 in the A B. Dick PC-9B and another first-year student, Josele Garza, came through with a 192 061 lap in Dave Psachie's PC-9 Bob Lazier, yet another freshman, continued to be smooth with a 189 195 circuit in his Montgomery Ward PC-7 and l.arry Cannon jumped up to 189.036 mph his Kraco Stereo PC-7. The Bettenhausen family also got going Friday Veteran Gary, in Lindsey Hopkins' turbocharger Chevy, was over 188, while brother Tony got closer to his initial Indy start with a 187.970 lap in the Provimi Veal McLaren HARRY MACDONALD, another of the 26vrookies. mustered up a 187.344 in Sherman Armstrong's Lola and Dennis Firestone as over 186 in Jack Rhoades' PC-7.

Bobby Hilhn's team had mixed emotions. Sheldon Kinser hit his high mark of the month with a 186 838 clocking in the Sergio Valente Jeans Special. But teammate Al Unser, who was at 192-plus earlier in the week, couldn't get over 184 the Longhorn chassis designed around Frank Williams' Formula One car.
