Bush prepared for informative, yet cautious, talks at the White House Thursday with Lithuanian Prime Minister Kazimiera Prunskiene. GENEVA OPEC oil ministers began a second day of intense private bargaining Thursday on cutting market-glutting excess production that has pushed prices sharply below the cartel's target. Not surprisingly, the 13 ministers failed in their first day of emergency talks Wednesday to reach a quick agreement on the size of the overall cut and individual reductions by the principal quota violators. BRUSSELS, Belgium The 16 NATO foreign ministers have the opportunity to reaffirm their unanimous support at a special meeting Thursday to keep a unified Germany within the Atlantic alliance, diplomats said. The meeting brings all of the NATO foreign ministers together just two days before the initial session for foreign ministers takes place in the "two-plus-four" talks on German unity.

Hostage (Con't from Page 1) very, very angry that John and Brian are not free. These are the only people I knew. "I am embarrassed that I'm out before they are," said Reed, his beard shaved off and wearing a pale blue robe. He was flanked by his Syrian- born wife, Fahimeh, and his 9-year-old son, Tarek, on the balcony. In Washington, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told reporters that Reed "is free to say anything he likes" and freed hostages "certainly have a right to be angry and frustrated." There had been reports that State Department officials had asked Reed the second American released in just over a speak out because of concern for six other U.S.

citizens still held in Beirut. Previous reports had indicated several hostages have been held in separate rooms of the same building in southern Beirut and regularly moved together. Intelligence officials believe the hostages arc held by various clans of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group. "I have not seen Tom and Terry for awhile," Reed said, adding he last saw Sutherland "ayear ago last February." Anderson, 42, is the longest held Western hostage; he was kidnapped March 16, 1985, in Beirut Sutherland, 58, a Scottish-born American and dean of American University of Beirut's agriculture school, was seized June 9, 1985, in Beirut. Kccnan was an English teacher at the American University of Beirut when he disappeared April 11, 1986, in Beirut.

McCarthy, a reporter for British Worldwide Television News agency, was kidnapped April 17, 1986, in Beirut. The four are among the six Americans and 10 other Westerners believed to remain captive in Lebanon. Rccd contacted relatives of McCarthy and Kccnan Wednesday, and officials said he was also trying to contact the families of U.S. hostages. A U.S.

official said hostages freed earlier had contacted the families of men they were held with, 'That often helps the families." The United States has thanked Iran and Syria for their help in winning Reed's release Monday. He followed the same route as Polhill did slightly more than a week earlier, being driven by Syrian officials from Beirut to Damascus and then flown to Rhein- Main Air Base near Frankfurt. A spokesman at the U.S. military hospital said Tuesday that initial checks on Rccd showed "no major medical problems" and he'd probably stay a few days more. A U.S.

official said Reed was ingood spirits, but was still "decompressing from his ordeal." Reed and Polhill, 55, were the first American hostages freed since three others were released in the fall of 1986 as part of the secret Iran-Contra arms- for-hostages swap between the United States and Iran. Iran and its allies in Lebanon have been trying to trade the remaining Western hostages for the release of 400 Shiite Moslems held by Israel, 16 Shiitcs convicted of terrorist bombings in Kuwait and Moslem fundamentalist cleric Sheik Abdul Karim Obeid, who was abducted by Israeli commandos in July. Iran also wants the United States to release the $8 billion to $9 billion in Iranian assets it froze after Iranians seized hostages from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Republicans (Con't from Page 1) "The administration can propose, but the Legislature must dispose.

And until the money is appropriated by an act of the Legislature, the administration's hands are tied," he said. Not so, charged Jubelirer. "If the governor is truly interested in solving immediate funding problems expeditiously he can ask the House leadership to bring their members back into session," the GOP leader said. Senate Republican leaders have said that the House could pass the Senate's version of the bill, and Casey could use his line-item veto to trim spending to his taste, Carocci countered that calling the House back would do no good, since the Senate would not be in session to work on a compromise supplemental bill. Carocci said that, both the spending amount and budget restrictions added by the Senate "would create a deficit situation which is prohibited under the constitution." "There is no reason for the problem to exist," Carocci said.

Bush (Con't from Page 1) drawn fire from Congress and Lithuania. Vytautu Landsbergis, president of Lithuania's Supreme Council, is appealing for diplomatic recognition by the United States and is urging Bush to demand that the Soviets lift its economic blockade. In a letter to Sen. Alfonso D'Amato, dated Tuesday and transmitted by fax machine, Landsbergis said the "primary purpose" of the blockade is to create massive unemployment Landsbergis said Bush could help by establishing "as soon as possible diplomatic relations with the independent Republic of Lithuania. If this is still not possible at the present moment, when will it become possible? Under what conditions?" Late Tuesday, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution that urged Bush not to submit legislation giving trade benefits to the Soviet Union until the Kremlin lifts its blockade.

On Wednesday, Bush went in the opposite direction. He urged U.S. allies to relax controls on exports of Western technology to bolster the economies of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Bush could be caught in a crossfire between allied demands for more liberal decontrol and congressional pique for recommending change at this time. Fitzwater shrugged off that prospect, saying, "Life is full of flak." The president is scheduled to hold a summit with Gorbachev at the end of this month and reluctance to jeopardize the meeting and a possible strategic arms control agreement has been cited as a reason for the low-key response.

Also, U.S. officials have said the benefits to be gained from Gorbachev's long-term success in reforming the Soviet Union outweigh the immediate concerns of Lithuania. As for Bush's meeting with Pruns- kiene, Fitzwater said, "The president feels it is important to get an authoritative readout and description of the events in Lithuania, hear firsthand from her what is occurring there." Sexual (Con't from Page 1) Johnstown was chosen as the kickoff for Project COVE because a state mental hospital is in nearby Somerset, a center for the mentally retarded is located in Ebensberg in Cambria County and a rehabilitation center is located in Johnstown. Sexual abuse among the disabled is much higher than in the general population because those people have less ability to resist, said Kevin Casey, director of PPA. There are approximately 30,000 developmentally disabled and 120,000 people diagnosed as mentally ill in Pennsylvania.

A 1988 study found that over half of the sample of women patients in an unidentified state mental hospital system had been sexually abused, said Susan Rcider, director of the Mental Health Association in Pennsylvania, one of many groups backing the new effort. "But the ultimate insult to the ultimate injury is that- we in the mental health field are still so far behind in acknowledging our responsibility," Reider said. She said that studies show a direct relation between sexual abuse and psychiatric problems experienced by victims later in life.

NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY) DO YOU KNOW SUSIE, LIKE I KNOW SUSIE? SUSIE Hits the big Parents apparently didn't notice the altered copies earlier because the lex- tbooks were rarely taken home by students. Rothe said her daughler brought her copy home to replace ihe lattered cover. On April 18, a few days after Rothe's meeting with Costello and Sacchetti, the censored books were replaced with uncensored versions. "I couldn't believe that anybody in a public school system would censor a book," said Roihe, a Prospect Park native who graduated from Interboro High 20 years ago. Costello could not be reached for comment Wednesday and Saccheti did not return phone calls.

Roihe said some of the slories in the texbook seemed "inappropriate" for ninth graders, but there were none that she wouldn't let her daughter read.

The derailed passenger cars remained upright and the locomotive did not leave the track, Kelly said. The accident occurred minutes after the scheduled stop in Crawfordsville by the Chicago-io-Indianapolis "Hoosier Stale" train, Kelly said. Crawfordsville, a town of about 18,000 people, is located 45 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

The train was switching from a CSX- owned track to a Conrail-owned track at the lime of the accident and was moving at a very slow speed because of its recent stop, said Amtrak spokeswoman Sue Martin. Amtrak personnel Wednesday night were traveling to Crawfordsville to investigate why the train derailed, Kelly said. Preliminary reports from the scene suggested a defective track switch may have caused the derailment. The train holds 200 people, but police officials on the scene said only 29 passengers and five crew members were aboard when it derailed.
