Page 6 Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, Indiana, Monday, 1987 No Retirement Plans Yet For Tony Bennett INDIANAPOLIS (AP) After 35 years of concerts and recording sessions, singer Tony Bennett says he has no plans to hang it up. "When you're a factory worker, you can't wait, to retire, but when you're creative, you don't give it up," he said. "Duke (Ellington), Bing (Crosby), Count (Basic) all of them kept swinging until the day they died. And that's what I hope to do." Bennett was is in town raising money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, and will perform in concert Tuesday at Ball State University in Muncie.

Tanned and graying at the temples, the 61-year-old singer greeted more than 1,000 people during a two-hour appearance at a local shopping mall Sunday. Bennett didn't sing. A longtime artist, he left the fundraising to the brush-and- pallette hobby he now considers his second career. "I've been doing art all my life. Twenty-nine years ago, someone said to me, 'You paint every day why not make it your So, because I'm able to help somebody through my artwork, it's really gratifying to me now." Associa ted Press Tony Bennett Shopping bags bearing color reproductions of Bennett's White Christmas watercolor paiting were sold for $4 each, with proceeds earmarked for the hospital founded by Danny Thomas.

On display were 10 other Bennett paintings, including one the singer said was purchased by Gary Grant shortly before the screen legend's death. Another was of the Golden Gate Bridge, which conjured images of Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Air Force Learned From Jet Crash INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Air Force has learned important lessons while processing claims since the crash of a military jet into an Indianapolis hotel, says the military lawyer who heads the claims office. "There is not a great deal of precedent in this area," said Maj. Emil D. Brupbacher, who distributed the first claims check the day after the disabled A-7D Air Force jet crashed into the Ramada Inn-Airport on Oct.

20. "Until someone has actually gone through something like this dealing with the victims, dealing with displaced people, being there, one-on-one, that is just not something you can put down on print or in regulations." So far, the Air Force has paid $113,000 in lost wages to employees. It has disbursed $3,500 to compensate for property lost by guests, and it has paid out $103,000 for funeral and incidental expenses. Miss Indiana Crowned MEHKILLVILLE, Ind.

Aaron STATE OF INDIANA COUNTY OF CASS IN THE MATTER OF THE UNSUPERV1SED ESTATE OF OLIVE RUSSELL, DECEASED IN THE CASS SUPERIOR COURT )SS: 1987 TERM CAUSE NO. 09D01-8706-ES-00088 Brupbacher said that $11,000 had been paid in commercial property loss and $90,000 in general property damages.

In some of the murky areas of the laws and regulations pertaining to claims, Brupbacher said he has tried to "resolve doubts in favor of the "The magnitude of the tragedy, the impact on the people I can't get away from that. We're trying to be compassionate. We're trying to be empathetic, and we're trying to do that also under the guidelines of the law." Of payments that were made to 60 employees, 30 to 35 of the cases are now regarded as inactive, said Brupbacher. Those people have found new jobs and will or have been paid for medical expenses and lost property. Some other cases are more complicated.

A seven-year employee signed for a final payment from the Air Force. Though her settlement, estimated at about $5,000, seemed sizable at the time, she is pregnant and has found employers are reluctant to hire her. A few days after the crash, another employee mistakenly signed for a final payment to pay for a broken windshield without knowing he was eligible for replacement wages. He had to repudiate his old claim and go through the bookkeeping process to reinstate benefits. The Military Claims Act, which forms the legal basis for much of the response to the victims, sets a $10,000 limit on advance payments to victims.

The wages that have been replaced are regarded as advance payments against a total claim. Brupbacher said a decision on how long benefits are to be paid has been made. "With respect to those who didn't suffer any personal injury, we've taken the position we'll continue to make further payments on a showing of special consideration, special needs and diligent efforts to secure employment. Embarrassment Hinders AIDS Battle BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) of AIDS as a sexually transmitted disease has elicited mostly embarrassment, slowing the work that needs to be done to stop the disease, says the man who first tified the disease.

Dr. Michael Gottlieb, co-founder and chairman of the American Foundation for AIDS Research, said AIDS can be contracted through contaminated hypodermic needles and tainted blood products but has been spread primarily through anal intercourse, both by homosexuals and heterosexuals. Despite the danger to women who engage in such sex, many family doctors are reluctant to broach the subject with their heterosexual female patients, said Got- won $1,000 in cash, a gold ring, a new wardrobe and a three-week, all-expenses-paid trip to El Paso.

"The basic point is this: We must get over being embarrassed by AIDS and the fact that it's a sexually transmitted disease," he said. "Embarrassment has been an inappropriate response to this epidemic. Unfortunately it's a response that we have seen for years." The reluctance to educate potential victims about the blunt sexual details of AIDS has cost lives, Gottlieb said. "There are some forces in society who would superimpose their own values (about sex), use the AIDS epidemic to advance other agendas," he said. Gottlieb, who also serves as director of clinical research at Porton Medical Laboratories in Encino, spoke to an audience of about 70 social researchers and AIDS scientists at a four-day conference on the disease at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute.

AIDS is a contagious disease that attacks the body's immune system and is spread through contact with blood, semen and other bodily fluids from infected people. The Kinsey Institute conference which began Saturday and ends Tuesday is designed to bring human behavior researchers into contact with AIDS medical investigators, said Gottlieb, one of the symposium's organizers.
