2A THE PALM BEACH POST SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1 993 Newsmakers 40,000 fans cheer Jackson Cheering fans greeted Michael Jackson as he returned to the stage in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday after a reported illness. He thanked the I wjxj'imzM' 1 audience but said nothing about allegations he molested "a teenage boy. About 40,000 fans, who appeared mostly to sympathize with Jackson over the allegations, braved rains and traffic jams to reach National Stadium. "I love you all. Heal the world," Jackson said to the cheering crowd before leavine the stace 4 1L thf ASsnrwFn prfss Typhoon Soaks Tokyo TOKYO An unidentified man directs traffic Friday in downtown Tokyo, where Typhoon Vernon dumped 12 inches of rain as it moved up Japan's eastern coast.

Three people were injured, more than 3,000 homes and businesses were flooded and more than 25,000 people were forced to flee, officials said. No deaths were reported. The eye of the storm passed within 45 miles of Tokyo, and damage was expected to spread when Vernon, packing 80 mph winds, reaches the northeastern provinces today. Thousands pour into D.C. for rights march The Associated Press WASHINGTON Marchers young and 'old began trickling in Friday to celebrate the 30th anniversary march on Washington, billed as a transfer of civil rights leadership to a younger But as college students groomed by civil rights groups held forums on the future of the movement, disgruntled urban activists pulled out of the event, calling it a party for middle-class blacks.

Floridian remembers 'dream' that still lives 1 Today's march and rally are to commemorate the watershed 1963 march demanding voting rights and an end to official segregation. It is sponsored by the same civil rights and labor groups that staged the original march, where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. This time, the agenda is "Jobs, Justice gnd Peace," with issues ranging from preserving union jobs to changing federal drug sentencing laws and finding soldiers missing from the Vietnam War. I This agenda is advanced by a broad coalition that includes Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, women, gays, the disabled and the elderly.

While the original march drew about 200,000 people, organizers say this time they expect "tens' of thousands" of marchers, likely well short of their initial goal of 250,000. Labor groups chartered nearly 1,000 buses-to bring in marchers from across the country. The NAACP has about 8,000 marchers who were coming in by bus, said Southeastern regional director Earl Shinhoster. The National Park Service says it expects the march to be peaceful. Sitting out the march is an organization of reformed gang members who said Friday that the commemoration is overlooking the concerns of the urban poor people they represent.

The activists, representing the National Urban Peace and Justice Movement, said they told the 1.Q00 marchers the coalition had mobilized from six cities not to come to Washington. Army chief charged in shoplifting The acting secretary of the Army is accused of taking a woman's blouse and skirt. The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Army's acting secretary, John W. Shannon, has been charged with shoplifting a woman's blouse and skirt at a post exchange near the Pentagon, the Army said Friday. The incident occurred Thursday at the Army PX at Fort Myer, said Army spokesman Col.

Steve Rausch. A store detective apprehended Shannon for allegedly shoplifting a woman's blouse and skirt, the spokesman said. Shannon was charged with misdemeanor theft of government property, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of a year in prison and a $100,000 fine, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Chesnut, a federal prosecutor in Alexandria, Va. Shannon was given a ticket and ordered to appear Oct.

22 before a federal magistrate in Alexandria, Chesnut said. The charged offense is a misdemeanor. Shannon has been acting as the Army's top civilian official pending the confirmation of a new secretary by the Clinton administration. He was placed on administrative leave at his own request. The Army Chief of Staff, Gen.

Gordon R. Sullivan, has taken over as the acting Army secretary in the interim, Rausch said. Thousands evacuated after Ohio chemical plant blast at the end of the concert. Jackson Some fans sang Happy Birthday to You for Jackson, who turns 35 years old on Sunday. "I love you" and "Happy Birthday" were among the signs raised.

Actress Elizabeth Taylor and Jackson's sister, pop singer Janet Jackson, were traveling Friday to join him and provide moral support after the allegations. Both planned to meet Jackson in Singapore, where he is to perform this weekend. From there, he goes on to performances in Taiwan, Japan, Russia, Israel, Turkey and the Canary Islands. On the road with the Royals After three days at Disney World, Diana, Princess of Wales, and her two young sons began a Bahamian holiday Friday at the Lyford Cay home of the Menzies family. The princess is a close friend of Kate Menzies, who is vacationing with her.

On the other side of the Atlantic, former Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, cut short her vacation Friday in Portugal. The Duchess was reportedly upset by the heightened security around the luxurious Casa dos Flores, where she and her children were staying, and angry at restrictions on her movement. 2nd photo of 'The Kid' found A second ancient photograph appears to match the face in the one known picture of outlaw William H. Bonney, better known as their homes late Friday morning. One building was destroyed and a second heavily damaged in the fire that burned for about 8V2 hours.

Rob Phillips, a spokesman for Phillips Petroleum the parent company of Aztec Catalyst, said nine of the plant's 72 workers were on duty when the first explosion occurred shortly after midnight. The plant makes chemicals for the cosmetics and plastics The Associated Press ELYRIA, Ohio Thousands of people were forced from their homes and dozens sought medical treatment Friday after a series of explosions at a chemical plant released a cloud of caustic fumes. No one was seriously injured. About 5,000 people in a one-mile radius around the Aztec Catalyst Co. plant fled to temporary shelters.

More than 40 people were treated at hospitals for minor complaints such as throat and eye irritation, officials said. People were allowed back in "Billy the Kid." A computer identification expert and a facial reconstruction anthropologist agreed that the image is probably genuine, the Albuquerque (N.M.) Journal reported Friday. The established picture of Billy the Kid, who was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881, shows a slnnrherl. slnne-shnnlHfirerl ft TODAY Mix of clouds and sun; t-storm in spots, high 88.
