Washington, D.C.

(AP) President Clinton, while admitting that the federal government has been "the biggest downsizer in the country," asked corporate executives Thursday to extend greater job security to America's workers. Clinton met at Georgetown University with more than 100 business leaders for a daylong session in which 13 chief executives described the good things they do for their employees. The White House denied that its Conference on Corporate Responsibility was an election-year effort to highlight a few good companies in order to bash others that ery'oy record profits but don't share the wealth with workers. But Clinton alluded to that, telling executives he believes "the power of example to change the behavior of Americans is enormous" and stressing that he hopes to "reinforce that kind of conduct" in the business community, "What I want to see us do Is to ele vate the good practices that are going on, show how they are consistent with making money and succeeding in the free enterprise system," Clin ton said. "You can do the right thing and make money," The campaign of Clinton Repub lican opponent, Bob Dole, denounced the conference as a gimmick that offers the wrong prescriptions for what ails the economy, "Bob Dole understands job cre ation Is key to economic growth," said Dole campaign spokeswoman Jurors begin Whitewater Little Bock, Ark.

The Jury elected Sandra Wood, a 38-year-old registered nurse and mother of two from Russollvllle, as their forewoman. They were told to resume deliberations this morning, and then take the weekend off if need be. They began deliberating at mid day after the judge said they could consider deals prosecutors made with witnesses in exchange for testimony.

Defense attorney Bobby McDaniel said the verdict would set the tone for the rest of independent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation into Whitewater. "Acquittal of all the charges should shut down" the investigation, he said. Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, James McDougal, and McDougal's ex-wife. Susan, are accused of defrauding Love?

"We say downsizing is not a very good thing for companies to do and now we say we're Clinton More security proud we did this in the federal government. Juxtaposition?" said Donald Hastings, chairman of Lincoln Electric Co. in Cleveland. Clinton admitted his administration has been "the biggest downsizer in the country over the last three and a half years." But he said that because the downsizing was handled with maximum input from federal employees, it could serve as an example for corporate America. Gerald Greenwald, chairman of United Airlines, said companies should shift their focus from reducing their size to preventing unnecessary growth.

"Everybody wants to talk about' downsizing. None of us wants to talk about who let all those companies get oversized in the first place," Greenwald said. deliberating trio's fates two federally backed lenders out of nearly $3 million between 1985 and 1987, when Tucker was in private business and the McDougals ran the now-defunct Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The prosecution's star witness, banker David Hale, testified that he conspired with McDougal and Tucker to lend them and their friends money that was improperly used. He also has said that Clinton pressured him to make a $300,000 loan to Susan McDougal's business in 1986 when Clinton was governor of Arkansas.

Clinton denied that claim during videotaped testimony played last week. Defense attorneys have reduced the complex case to a credibility contest between their star witnessr Clinton and Hale, whom they portrayed as a liar. Hale was sentenced to more than two years in prison for defrauding the Small Business Administration. He lived off the government for two years while cooperating with Whitewater prosecutors.
