A letter from the Navy's Office of the Judge Advocate General in Alexandria, earlier informed the Brodines that their request for compensation had been rejected, based on a 1950 court decision that those injured while serving in the armed forces can't sue the government for damages. "The books haven't been updated to apply to women," Ruth Brodine said. Eva Brodine, who has lost 30 pounds and appears gaunt and nervous, said she is still shaken from the experience. She said she has taken business courses but can't get up her nerve to get a job.

The summer after high school graduation, Brodine went to Parris Island for basic training, under a program that promised her a college education upon completion. "It's a tough one to get into. That's why I wanted to join," she said. Doctor Stood By She said her menstrual period was a month late when she arrived at boot camp, but she attributed it to the excitement of graduation and enlistment Then, the urine test results came. She said a follow-up examination was performed by a medical aide, and a doctor in the room did not examine her.

'On, she's six to eight weeks she said. "The doctor was just holding my hand and saying, 'It'll be Brodine said she never underwent a blood test "I figured they knew what they were talking about," she said. Pregnancy tests by a private doctor and a clinic determined that she wasn't pregnant. Her initial discharge papers said she was let go "at the convenience of the U.S. government." The family, which Ruth Brodine described as "very pro-military," protested.

Six months ago, with the help of her congressmen, Eva Brodine got an amended honorable discharge notice. But "it was wrong," she said. "It said that the discharge was my fault." Another Amendment Last month, Brodine received another amendment It said she was given an "erroneous enlistment" which was the military's fault. The Brodines say the papers still aren't good enough. Brodine said she hopes the suit will clear her name.

And, she said, she still supports the military. "If I could be 110 percent sure that I could go back in and not be hassled about this, I would go uV'shesaid. WEIRTON, W.VA. (AP) A Marine who was kicked out of the service when officials said she was pregnant has filed a $7 million suit against the government, saying she hopes to restore her honor even though her dream of a military career is all but dead. Eva Brodine, 19, was gung-ho to serve in the military when she signed up for the Marines two years ago.

"I wanted everything about it," she said in a recent interview. But five weeks later, her career ended when military doctors at Parris Island, S.C., said a urine test indicated she was pregnant. Her own doctors insisted she wasn't Her lawyer, James Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh, says the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court July 13 could pave the way for women to seek justice in a military system whose statutes ignore them. But Brodine and her family say they wish it never had to come to that Marines Wouldn't Talk "The Marines wouldn't even talk to us," said Brodine's mother, Ruth.

"All we wanted was for them to sit down and talk to us and change her discharge." Lt. Dennis Sawyer, a spokesman for the Navy at the Pentagon, said the government "declines introduce receivers that can accommodate the AM radio stereo broadcasting authorized by the Federal Communications Commission 18 months ago. The Sony Corp. and Sansui Electric Co. are about to unveil receivers that can work with any of the four AM stereo transmission, system! now being tested by 120 stations across the country.

That flexibility is crucial, because broadcasters still haven't rallied around any single system to become the industry standard. Sony will release a hand-held portable AM-FM stereo receiver this' month, while Sansui says it will begin marketing an advanced receiver for home use along with an automobile stereo system in September. There are more than 4,700 AM radio stations in the United States, many of which have been losing audiences to FM counterparts who have long promoted their stereo abilities. AM stations are convinced they can reclaim music-loving listeners if they can broadcast a stereo signal. National Guard hauls garbage HAMMOND, LA.

(AP) The National Guard is helping debt-ridden Tangipahoa Parish get rid of the mountains of garbage piling up because the parish shut down 65 dump sites and couldn't fix two of its three garbage trucks. A parish official said Monday that seven Guardsmen using four 20-ton dump trucks and one big loader would help out 30 days to give the parish time to fix the trucks and get them rolling. Parish finances are so confused nobody seems to know just how much Tangipahoa owes. The stack of unpaid bills, going back to July 1982, was three feet high and getting higher this week. Police said Tuesday they are checking every fatality in the past two years at a nursing home where a kitchen worker was charged with raping and lulling two women last month.

"We're investigating every death at that nursing home, suspicious or not," said homicide Det. Sgt. Daniel Rosen-stein, head of the investigation that led to Monday's arrest of Anthony Joyner, 24. Joyner had been a dietary assistant at Kearsley Home of Christ Church Hospital for 22 months. Joyner was charged with raping and murdering Eugenia Borda, 90, and Mildred Alston, 79, before dawn on July 19, his day off.

Their bodies were found in their beds in adjacent apartments at Kearsley, the nation's oldest nursing home, in the city's Wynnefield section. Joyner was denied bail by Municipal Judge Joseph McCabe pending a hearing Aug. 10. He is charged with two counts each of murder, rape and burglary. McCabe also held Joyner on an unrelated 1982 rape of a 68-year-old woman, not a resident of the home.

Police said that case, in which Joyner also was accused of robbery, burglary and aggravated assault, led them to him as a suspect in the Kearsley home deaths. Joyner had no prior1 arrest record. Since the discovery of the two bodies, Rosenstein and four detectives have been, investigating five other deaths at the home this year. Those deaths had been attributed to natural causes. No decision has been made on whether to exhume the bodies.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported Tuesday, quoting unidentified sources, that Joyner had "told police he raped five elderly women who died at the home this year" but denied killing them. Joyner made no statement at the hearing Monday night. was discrimination based on sex and that management fraudulently misrepresented the job. Feldman had testified Friday that he started in 1977 at $57,500. He now reportedly earns $75,000 annually.

Hart campaign borrows from Saudi-owned bank DENVER, COLO. (AP) Democratic presidential hopeful Gary Hart has borrowed $350,000 from a Saudi-owned bank in Washington to help finance his 1934 campaign, an aide says. Oliver "Pudge" Henkel, the campaign manager for the Colorado senator, said the financially struggling campaign had negotiated a line of credit with First American which was taken over by Saudi Arabian investors several months ago. 'V The bank's directors were reviewed to see whether there was any potential conflict with Hart's views on the Middle East, Henkel said. Hart is a staunch supporter of Israel.

The deal calls for the Hart campaign to pay a variable interest rate of 0.5 percent more than the -prime rate, which currently Is 10.5 percent. The campaign will draw against the line of credit when it needs cash, Henkel said. In making the loan deal, the Hart campaign has essentially mortgaged all the federal matching money for which it is qualified to date. Henkel said that is "sound financial management for a dark horse campaign" because it gives the Hart effort the money it needs to do more fund-raising.

(AP) Two major electronic manufacturers are CHICAGO, ILL. (AP) A veter- -inarian pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges of killing his deformed son on -a hospital delivery room floor less than half an hour after birth. Daniel McKay, 35, was arraigned. before Cook County Circuit Judge PaulGerrity. He was charged in June with the murder of his 6-pound infant son, who had been born with some facial and hand deformities and a heart defect" Authorities said McKay took the infant from an incubator at Ingalls Memorial Hospital 29 minutes after- the birth June 27 and threw the child -to the floor twice in the presence Of nurses.

He had been in the delivery room to watch his 34-year-old wife, Carol, give birth. Although McKay apparently has the $20,000 needed to post his $200,000 bail, he remains in the psychiatric unit of Cermak Hospital at the West Side Cook County Jail complex. His attorney, Patrick Reardon, said McKay has appealed the bond which requires McKay to be evaluated by the Cook' County Psy- chiatric Institute. It also requires him to enter an in-patient private hospital for further evaluation once he is released. McKay's wife's physician, Dr.

Joaquin Ramos, testified at a July preliminary hearing that McKay cautioned him in the delivery room "not to do any heroic measures" when it was obvious that the baby had a malformed face and difficulty 5 breathing. An autopsy by Cook County Medical Examiner Robert Stein showed that the infant died of a fractured skull and brain injuries. Stein said later the heart defect would have killed the baby within three months. Craft's replacement says station paid women less KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) The woman who replaced Christine Craft as co-anchor at KMBC-TV testified Tuesday that station's management gave her the clear impression they would never pay a woman news-' caster as much as a man.

Brenda Williams, who replaced Craft as anchorwoman in August 1981, said station management indicated without ever specifically saying so that she would be paid substantially less than the male anchor, Scott Feldman. "They left me with the impression that the position they had established was for a female co-anchor and that the person who filled that position was only going to get so much and it was substantially less than what the male anchor was getting," Williams testified. Williams was the last witness for the plaintiffs in the $1.2 million sex discrimination suit filed by Craft, said Dennis Egan, Craft's attorney. Williams, who still holds an anchor job at KMBC, testified she was offered the job Aug. 28 after she listed her qualifications in a memo to Ridge Shannon, the station news director.

Shannon told her in a meeting a few days later that she should ask for a salary "in the same ballpark" as what Craft had received, Williams said. She said she thought that was between $35,000 and $40,000. Craft had testified earlier that she started at $37,500 in January 1981. The pay issue is one of three allegations Craft makes in her suit against Metromedia former owners of Eva Brodine Hopes to clear her name -J i I Taulie co-sponsors bill to end PAC tax credit igency denies By JOHN HYDE bias in fight against iDS ble contributions he received. The other sponsors of the bill are Democrats Matthew McHugh of New York, Morris Udall of Arizona and Ed Jenkins of Georgia, and Republicans Barber Conable of New York and Carl Purcell of Michigan.

The revenue loss resulting from political contribution tax credits amounted to $294 million in 1982. The sponsors estimated that the changes they proposed would have no effect on that revenue loss. The bill also would require congressional candidates to return all unobligated campaign funds in excess of $50,000 after the campaign ended.

A candidate would not have to return dominate fund raising for congressional campaigns. "PACs tend to weaken the political party structure in our nation and reduce the importance of grass-roots contributions to congressional campaigns," he said. "Therefore, PACs should not have the preferred status of campaign support that the current tax credit law gives them."

JH WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) -Federal health officials on Tuesday defended their actions dealing with Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) against critics who say prejudice against homosexuals is slowing efforts to combat the deadly disease. "A continuing commitment of all our energies is required and pledged to eliminate the suffering and death caused by this problem," said Dr. Edward Brandt assistant secretary for health. Referring to charges by homosexual groups that the effort to combat AIDS is hampered by bias, Brandt declared in testimony before a Senate subcommittee on health: "It is a charge I consider insulting to a lot of dedicated physicians and scientists trying to solve the problem.

It is a charge without foundation. If there are any instances of bias), I would like to know about them." Brandt said allegations that the administration has no national plan for dealing with the epidemic are not true. He outlined in his testimony new steps for dealing with AIDS, such as the establishment and expansion of a 24-hour hotline. prices good 7 full days wtfssimIt Aug. 3 4 I 5 1 6 I 7 I 8 I 9 Ouantitv Rights Reserved DON'S BEAZER'S Don Super Valu Bet Super Valu 1 300 Army Post Road 313 Grand.

(AP) -William Bonin, already sentenced to death for 10 "Freeway Killer" murders, was convicted of four additional homosexual torture slayings in a verdict announced Tuesday.

A Superior Court jury also found the 36-year-old Bonin guilty of "special circumstance" allegations of multiple murders. Under state law, such a finding means the former truck driver can be sentenced to death or to life in prison without possibility of parole. In the latest murders, the teen-age victims' nude bodies were found in Orange County. The earlier convictions were in the deaths of youths whose bodies were dumped near highways in Los Angeles County. The four Orange County victims were Frank Fox, 17, of Bellflower, whose body was found Nov.

SO, 1979; Russell Rugh, 15, of Garden Grove, and Glenn Barker, 14, both of Huntington Beach and both found March 21, 1980; and Lawrence Sharp, 17, of Long Beach, found May 18, 1980. Deputy District Attorney Bryan Brown drew a grisly picture of sexual assault and slayings in Bonin's van, which he called a "death wagon." Brown said Bonin picked up the youths, ordered them to strip at knifepoint in the back of his van, tied them up, sexually assaulted and killed them, then dumped their naked bodies beside highways. "Killing to this man is less than stepping on an ant," Brown said in his closing argument. "This man truly is a mass murderer. "Bonin is a very intelligent individual (who goes to great lengths to avoid leaving any evidence," the prosecutor said.

But tiny tell-tale fibers were found during autopsies on the victims' bodies, Brown said. The fibers matched the carpet in Bonin's van. "One could truly say from the evidence found in the van it's a virtual death wagon," Brown said. Bonin also was convicted of three counts of robbery involving the infliction of great bodily harm. Bonin sat calmly, but the mothers of the four victims wept openly as the verdicts were read in a courtroom jammed with mora than 100 spectators.

Purolator heist mastermind paroled CHICAGO, ILL. (AP) The convicted mastermind of Chicago's $4.3 million Purolator vault heist in 1974 has been paroled from federal prison after serving 7 years of a 15-year sentence, officials said. Pasquale "Patsy" Marzano, 49, was granted parole about two months ago and was released Monday from the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center here. Still missing is $1.2 million taken in a burglary of the money warehouse of Purolator Security, on the Near North Side.

Its victims1 primarily have been male homosexuals or bisexuals with multiple partners, intravenous drug users and Haitians. 1. Brandt said many national meetings have been held to discuss AIDS, citing the July 19 conclave of a blood products group that is attempt-I ing to discover how the disease is 1 transmitted through blood. 1 Brandt was not asked about calls for a national commission to coordinate research and develop strategies for fighting the disease.

"Because AIDS is the top emergency health priority of the department, funds have been and will continue to be redirected, as needed, within PHS (Public Health Service) agency budgets to respond to this problem," Brandt said. i He said the service spent $5.5 million on AIDS in fiscal 1982, and will spend 14.5 million in fiscal 1983. He also noted that the recently signed supplemental appropriations bill provides an additional $12 million to fight the disease in those two years. But he acknowledged under questioning that the Department of Health and Human Services had not sought the additional $12 million that was added to its budget by Congress. Instead, HHS had wanted to reallo- cate money to AIDS from other programs, he said.

"The impression that the administration is trading one public health program for another to satisfy politically imposed budget constraints is inescapable," said Representative i Ted Weiss N.Y.), chairman of the subcommittee. Brandt said about $166 million is being spent on AIDS this year if all research money is Included.
