Tyrone Daily Herald, Saturday, November 2,1985 Page Five Vatican Ambassador's Speech Stirs Protest The contention of William Wilson, U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, that the United States and the Vatican are joined together in a "quest for morality" in the world has come under sharp attack by church-state separationists. The Rev. Robert Maddox, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, has sharply protested Wilson's remarks in letters to both President Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz. Americans United vigorously fought the establishment of official diplomatic relations with the Vatican and has also challenged the ties in the U.S.

courts. Wilson, in, a September speech at Assumption College in Worcester, said the relations between the United States and the Holy See has developed "from a 'listening post' mentality to a quest for morality." "In these latter days," Wilson added, "we have taken a new step with the establishment of formal diplomatic ties between the Holy See and the American people we have consciously entered into a quest to recognize and to understand the role of religion in international affairs." In his protest, Maddox cited oth.er Wilson comments, including a remark he attributed to Reagan in which the president was to have said that "no lasting good is possible in the public sphere without spiritual renewal. The strongst voice for that renewal at the present time is that of John Paul II, the Roman Catholic pope." "Taken together," Maddox said, "Mr. Wilson's remarks strongly suggest that the Reagan administration means to publicly associate the U.S. government with the Vatican on 'moral' issues in the eyes of the world community." Live Missiles Are Recovered ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) The Air Force says it has recovered five armed missiles found sticking out of the mud on the Yukon River near the site of an F-15A fighter crash in June.

Three of the plane's eight missiles are still missing but probably will not explode, officials said. The five missiles were recovered in October during a weeklong operation by demolitions experts, Elmendorf Air Force Base officials said Thursday. The jet fighter exploded after takeoff June 24 from an Air Force station at Galena, 330 miles northwest of Anchorage, killing pilot Daniel Sullivan, 24, Akron, Ohio. An engineering firm was hired to help locate the scattered wreckage and the five missiles were found Oct. 4 jutting from the mud along the banks of the receding Yukon River, Maj.

Darrell C. Hayes said. Recovered were four AIM-7 radar- guided air-to-air missiles and one AIM-9 heat-seeking missile, Hayes said. Three AIM-9 missiles have yet to be found. All eight missiles were armed with live warheads that did not explode when the plane crashed, Hayes said.

Hayes said there was little chance the missing warheads would explode. "There is very little danger from the missiles," he said, adding that ice now forming on the river makes it unlikely they will be found. He said two of the missiles were recovered intact while the other three were in fragments. The missiles were taken to a demolition site on the Galena air base. When the plane crashed in June, melting ice was making the Yukon River its deepest and widest, National Weather Service hydrologist Jim Haertelsaid.

But by early October, when the rains decrease and glaciers stop melting, the swift-moving mile-wide river narrows to a half mile and drops 12 feet, Haertel said. The AIM-7 missiles are 12 feet long and 8 inches in diameter. The AIM-9 missiles are feet long and 5 inches in diameter. flower of remembrance V. F.W.

BUDDY POPPY Give generously! Wear it proudly! RAY'S BURIAL VAULT At the time establishment of relations was being debated last year, the State Department assured a skeptical Congress that the U.S.- Vatican relationship would be purely secular, an effort to obtain diplomatic and political information through the Vatican's vast diplomatic network. "Mr. Wilson casts this diplomatic venture in an entirely different light," Maddox said. "We are confident that Congress would not have approved the exchange of ambassadors if it had been described as an administration 'quest for especially a quest guided by the head of only one church," Maddox said. Maddox, a Southern Baptist, said the Vatican, as headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, has every right to its own perspective on "moral" issues.

"But other religious faiths and denominations also have theirs," he added. "The 'moral' viewpoint ot religious bodies is completely suffused with their own religious values and opinions. To elevate one faith to a unique and formal station is unfair to the -others and clearly violates the principles inherent in the First Amendment." Maddox praised Pope John Paul II, saying the pontiff's stature is unquestioned but stressed that the pope "does not speak for all Christians, let alone those of other faiths." "Indeed, even many Catholics disagree with the pope on such 'moral' issues as birth control, family planning, the role of women in society, liberation theology and government aid to parochial schools," Maddox noted. "Americans of all religious viewpoints have a clear constitutional right to present their ideas on an equal footing," he said. Jury Convicts Sex Slave Kidnapper On 10 Counts REDWOOD CITY, Calif.

(UPI) A jury rejected arguments that a woman submitted to bondage for seven years out of love and convicted her captor of kidnapping and rape, prompting the judge to praise the panel for its "good sense." The defense had relied heavily on the love argument, calling noted Stanford University psychiatrist Dr. Donald Lunde to testify that the young woman, Colleen Stan, was a willing partner of the defendant, Cameron Hooker. When the San Mateo County Superior Court jury of eight women and four men returned guilty verdicts Thursday after 14 hours of deliberations over three days, Judge Clarence B. Knight told them: "I commend your intelligence in dismissing the testimony of Dr. Lunde.

Witnesses like that are a menace to the criminal justice system. I'm happy you had the good sense to see through him." Lunde had previously served as a court-appointed psychiatrist in the Peoples Temple, Patty Hearst and Dan White cases. Hooker, 31, a Red Bluff, lumber mill worker, was convicted of one count of kidnapping by force, six counts of rape, one count of penetration with a foreign object, one count of sodomy and one count of oral copulation. He was acquitted of one count of rape. The maximum term he could receive is 73 years in a state prison.

Knight set Nov. 22 for sentencing. Stan, 28, the chief prosecution witness, was at her parents' home in Riverside, when the verdicts were announced. Prosecutor Christine McGuire telephoned her with the news and said Stan exclaimed: "Praise the Lord justice is done." McGuire, deputy district attorney of Tehama County, said she was "grateful and happy that the jury saw it the way I felt it. It was a terrible crime." Defense attorney Holland Papendick said there would probably bean appeal.

Hooker was accused of abducting Stan on May 19, 1977, as she hitchhiked near Red Bluff and of holding her captive for sadistic sexual practices until August 1984-, when she fled to her family's home. One juror said the panel "never bought" the argument that Stan fell in love with Hooker and stayed voluntarily at the Hooker home. Stan testified she was kept in a casket-like box for up to 23 hours a day over a three-year period. "There may have been love, but not like the love I have for my husband," juror Debra Ann King said. "It would have been like the love you have to get attention." The jury accepted the opinion of prosecution psychiatrist Dr.

Chris Hatcher, an expert on brainwashing, who said a person can be a prisoner even though apparently free, referring to testimony that Stan was allowed to go jogging by herself and later take a job. The case was transferred from Tehama County in Northern California because of pretrial publicity. Radioactive Water Gets Dumped Into A Pipe Trench SHIPPINGPORT, Pa. (UPI) The Duquesne Light Company declared an "unusual event" Thursday when about 300 gallons of radioactive water was released into a concrete pipe trench at the Beaver Valley Power Station. Some of the water eventually reached the Ohio River.

However, samples taken at the Midland Water Authority about two miles downstream from the plant where the water entered the river indicated the level of radioactivity in the river was. below the minimum detectable level. Plant officials terminated the unusual event at 3:50 p.m. The event was declared at 12:21 p.m., about 35 minutes after the leak was detected. A Duquesne Light spokesman said plant personnel are investigating the cause of the problem.

Preliminary findings indicate the water leaked from a valve that was partially open. The company said the situation did not effect the operation of the plant and did not pose any threat to the health and safety of the public. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state and local emergency management agencies were notified of the event. In 1917, a Jewish homeland in Palestine was proposed by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour. Israel became a reality 31 years later.

Stephen Higgins, the bureau's director, said bureau laboratories found the traces in Riunite wines with the following codes: Riunite Bianco, 750 code no. 1124-RE; Riunite Rosato. 750 code no. 1124-RE; 1.5 liter Rosato, code no. 3321-BR; Riunite Lambrusco dell 'Emilia, 750 code no.

1124RE; and Riunite Spumante. 750 code no. 813-RE. Higgins said consumers should look for the code number in very small lettering on the far right side of the labels, except for the Spumante, where the code number is on the foil covering over the cork. "It's the only way to identify those Riunite brands containing diethylene glycol," he said.

Consumers should return infected wines to the retailer. Higgins said diethylene glycol is commonly used for industrial purposes and is not approved for use in foods and beverages. It has both short term and long term health effects, depending on amounts ingested, he said. Higgins said the amounts contained in the wines are small; 0.008 grams per liter, but the importer, Banfi Products, has agreed to conduct a recall. To date.

ATF has tested over 1,000 brands of imported wines and has found the diethylene glycol in 45 Austrian, five German and 12 Italian wines. Overland Pipeline Explodes, Causing 25 Lancaster Co. People To Flee MARIETTA, Pa. (UPI) An overland pipeline carrying natural gas exploded today in Lancaster County, triggering a fire that caused 25 people to voluntarily leave their homes. There are no reports of injuries and none of the homes were damaged.

The explosion occurred shortly after 4 a.m. in the farming community of Marietta and touched off a fire with 40-foot high flames that could be seen for miles. Rick Harrison, supervisor ol Lancaster County Communications, said the fire was declared under control at 6:40 a.m. after the source of the gas in the pipeline was shut off. The pipeline, owned by the Columbia Gas Transmission system, carries natural gas from southwestern states to utilities in the Northeast.

The explosion occurred at a point where the pipe runs above ground through the Texas Eastern Gas transfer station. The cause of the explosion was not known. Mandia Responding To Heart Problem Medicine ROUND SQUARE DANCE SHAVER'S CREEK FIRE CO. Saturday Night 8:30 'til 11:30 "THE HILLTOPPERS" Caller: BOBIRVIN 684.0442 FIFTH WHEEL RESTAURANT Breakfast Special JVew Forlt Strip Steak with Salad Bar HERSHEY, Pa. (UPI) Anthony Mandia, kept alive days by the new Penn State artificial heart before receiving a human heart, has responded to treatment for two major complications, officials said.

Mandia, 44, of Philadelphia, has been suffering from poor kidney function and an inflamed pancreas for two days, Dr. John Burnside. chief spokesman for the Hershey Medical Center, said Thursday. Kidneys separate water and waste products from the blood and excrete them as urine. The pancreas produces insulin and digestive fluids.

Mandia was temporarily hooked to a kidney-dialysis machine again Thursday with "good results," said Carl Andrews, a second spokesman for the Pennsylvania State University teaching hospital. A drug that the patient is taking to help him accept his new heart is known to be toxic to the kidneys, Burnside said. In a tape-recorded statement. Andrews said Mandia responded to treatment for the inflammed pancreas but he did not elaborate. Before receiving a human heart Monday, the handicapped former city clerk had a highlevel of a pancreas- produced enzyme in his blood.

Tests Wednesday confirmed an inflamation of the organ, Burnside said. Mandia's condition was downgraded Wednesday to critical and unstable, then changed back to critical and stable Thursday. Burnside said the patient was "responsive" and his heart function was "good." Burnside and Andrews declined to comment further. Dr. Larry Rankin, a cardiologist and internist in nearby Carlisle, described Mandia's problems as "ominous." "He's critically ill and clearly not doing as well as one would hope after a transplant," Rankin said.

"But they (the proper organ functions) are not irretrievable. Usually there is considerable therapeutic option available." The doctor said Mandia's complications could have been caused by one or more of several factors. Mandia became the first recipient of the plastic Penn State Heart in emergency surgery Oct. 18 when a donor heart could not be found at that time. No other artificial heart recipient lived as long as Mandia with an artificial blood pump, then had it replaced by a natural organ.

Meanwhile, Thomas Gaidosh. 47, the world's lllh artificial heart recipient, continued his uneventful recovery Thursday at Presbyterian- University hospital in Pittsburgh, visiting with family and taking short walks. Gaidosh. a resident of Sutersville, Westmoreland County, lived four days on a Jarvik-7 heart before having it replaced Monday morning by a human heart. Doctors say they expect to release him in about six weeks.

At Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Glenna Walker, 27, was connected Thursday to two external blood pumps called Ventricular Assist Devices, pending transplant of a human heart. She died later in the day. Richard Dallara, 33, who was temporarily hooked to two Thoratec external blood pumps this past weekend, continued his recovery from transplant surgery Tuesday of a human heart at Pacific Presbyterian Medical Center in San Francisco.
