51333 1tf SILDUIS POST-DISPATCH SATURDAY. AUGUST 5. 1989 AUG State's Services For Elderly Said To Need Coordination City Workers Back Sales Tax Extension service, transportation and the handling of legal problems. One reason services need to be targeted better is that federal funds are not likely to be increased. Walker said.

About $30 million a year is spent on the programs, most of it federal money, he said. An example of lack of coordination, he said, was a client who receives home meals and needs transportation but cannot make the bureaucratic connection to get Walker said representatives of the area agencies had told him, "We've been talking about this for years, but that's all we've ever done." He said "we make ourselves busy with little, piddly details." He said he would assess whether administrators in the system "really are willing to participate in give and take," and then put them in negotiations on "how to reformat to maximize services." Missouri's services for the elderly need better coordination "to connect the person with the service," Edwin Walker, director of the division of aging, said Friday. Administrators of the many services for the elderly need to "lay down turf Issues, personalities and past conflicts" in order "to really make Missouri a national leader with a coordinated community system," Walker said. Walker's comments were made at the Viking Conference Center in Sunset Hills, where he held the fifth of five meetings throughout Missouri. The meetings were held to get the public's views on the planning of services for the elderly.

Walker's division licenses nursing homes and administers the federal Older Americans Act Its jurisdiction includes the 10 district Area Agencies on Aging In the state, which carry out a wide range of services including meal wrist about 1964. Margolis said all divisions of the State Police and several other police agencies were helping in the search. He singled out the St Louis police and the Missouri Highway Patrol for their help. Margolis arrived in Collinsvilie ear-; ly Friday to oversee the Investigation, i He said the incident began at 1:45 a.m. Friday, when Fort tried to stop a car for an unspecified traffic violation at 25th and Market streets in East St Louis.

The driver of the car refused to stop until he reached the 4200 block of Market Street in Centreville, when he pulled over, shut off his lights and jumped out of the car. The man and Fort scuffled, Margolis said, and the man then fired two shots at close range from a small caliber pistol. Fort was struck in the upper left arm, the bullet passing through and entering his chest, where it grazed a lung, went through the spleen and colon, broke a rib and lodged in a muscle in Fort's back. Margolis said Fort was able to draw his 9mm, semi-automatic pistol and fire two shots at the man as he ran away. Margolis said the man may have been wounded, based on statements from some witnesses.

But he said no blood other than Fort's was found at the scene. He said powder burns on Fort's arm indicated he had been shot while the men were "within arm's length." The man's car was a Ford Torino from the early 1970s and had a Missouri license plate. State Police computers did not show it as being stolen, Margolis said. Fort was conscious when another trooper reached the scene, Margolis said. He was taken to Centreville Township Hospital and then flown by helicopter to St.

Louis University Medical Center. Trooper From page one from that Jeremy Margolis, director of the Illinois State Police, said only, "We have a suspect and a number of leads are being worked." The police were conducting a detailed search of the area and a canvass of residents in the neighborhood Friday. Fort has been a trooper for five years and was an officer with the police in East St. Louis before that. He is single.

He was one of 16 troopers assigned to patrol in East St. Louis for the last three years. Capt. Bobby L. Henry, district commander, said the shooting was the most serious Incident since the State Police began patrolling East St.

Louis to help the police there three years ago. At a news conference early Friday, Margolis called for help from the residents of East St. Louis and Centreville who may have information about the case. He asked them to call the State Police in Collinsvilie at (618) 346-3600. "Trooper Fort has served with distinction in that town," Margolis said.

Margolis described the man being sought as a young black man, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, weighing 165 to 170 pounds, and wearing a light-colored T-shirt, dark pants and a cap. Margolis said information already given by some witnesses had helped the investigation. The shooting was the first of a trooper in at least 25 years in District 11, which covers the Metro East area. Henry said he believed it was the first since the 1930s or 1940s. But a former trooper told the Post-Dispatch that a trooper had' been shot in the three years.

It generates about $12.6 million a year, or about 4 percent of the city's general budget Passage at Tuesday's election requires approval by a simple majority. Also Friday, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Sewer District said that it planned to use a form of competitive bidding after all when it hires plumbing firms to carry out work under a city plan also on Tuesday's ballot. That plan, called Proposition SI for "sewer insurance," would Impose $28 a year in new fees on homeowners in the city. The money collected would go to a city-administered fund that would pay for often-expensive repairs to lateral sewer lines. The cost of those repairs is now borne by individual homeowners.

Briggs and John Koepper, MSD's director of operations, said the type of competitive bidding the MSD would use had yet to be selected. One possibility, he said, would be to divide the city into geographic areas and select contractors that would do the work in those areas on the basis of competitive unit-price bids. Last week, Briggs said the MSD would parcel out the plumbing contracts for such repairs on a rotation basis among all those in the city deemed qualified. But on Friday, Briggs said he had put out incorrect information last week and had wrongly assumed that the sewer district would use the same procedure it now uses across the metropolitan area for emergency repairs. A critic of Proposition SI, Tom Sullivan, treasurer of the Campaign for Better Government, was not mollified by the new statement from the MSD.

He complained that because the city ordinance setting up the election on the sewer-insurance proposal did not require competitive bidding, no guarantee existed that the MSD would carry it out. By Mark Schlinkmann Regional Political Correspondent Three major groups of city employees and Downtown St. Louis, announced their endorsement Friday of the sales tax extension that is on Tuesday's special-election ballot in St. Louis. Adding endorsements were 13 of the city's 28 aldermen.

Meanwhile, opposition to the measure was announced by the chairman of the city's Republican Party and a group that petitioned for the state audit of city government. The employee groups endorsing the tax proposition are the St. Louis Firefighters Union Local 73, the St. Louis Police Officers Association and the Firefighters Institute for Racial Equality, which represents black firefighters. Downtown St Louis Inc.

represents downtown businesses. "The current level of fire protection in neighborhoods could be jeopardized if Proposition A fails," Fred Guy, president of Local 73, said in a news release issued by Mayor Vincent C. Schoemehl office. Joining the opponents were Walter R. Jacobs, chairman of the St.

Louis Republican Central Committee, and the Good Government Committee, the group that petitioned for the state audit. Jacobs and Rickey Jamerson, chairman of the petition group, said in separate statements that the tax extension wasn't needed because of the efficiency the city is gaining through recommendations that State Auditor Margaret Kelly has been making in her reports. Jacobs said the full GOP committee had taken no position on the tax plan. Proposition which is being promoted by Schoemehl and various other city officials, would make permanent a three-eighths-cent city sales tax that is scheduled to expire in March. The tax was first enacted by voters in 1984 and re-approved in 1987 for Bodies Of Couple Are Found In Swansea Lintzenich said his department had concluded that no one else was involved in the shootings.

Police were called about 3:30 p.m. by a cleaning woman, who discovered the bodies in a bedroom when she went to the couple's home on Catawba Street in Swansea, Lintzenich said. The bodies of a couple from Swansea were found Thursday after what police said appeared to be a murder-suicide. Herbert Hempel, 78, apparently shot his wife Mary, 79, and then himself, according to Swansea Police Chief Ed Lintzenich. Both were shot in the head.

Louis. Visitation will be Sun. after 2:30 p.m. at LILEY Funeral Idaho's 38 major fires Friday was the Lowman Complex of fires, which razed the community of Lowman last weekend northeast of Boise. Those fires grew to more than 39,000 acres after firefighters intentionally combined those fires with the Iron Triangle fire for better control, said a spokeswoman.

Only one-fifth of the complex was considered contained. "We're in for a long siege on the Lowman Complex," Rittersbacher said. In eastern Oregon, six major fires and at least four smaller fires damaged about 82,000 acres of the timber and grazing land, killing cattle and chasing residents from their homes. About 2,000 firefighters battled the region's biggest blaze, at Canal Creek on the boundary of the Eagle Cap Wilderness northeast of Baker near Enterprise. Firefighters expected to contain the fire by Sunday evening.

In Southern California, some 1,800 firefighters had contained little more than 57 percent of a week-old blaze in the Cleveland National Forest. The fire 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles burned to within three miles of the historic Mount Palomar Observatory, the nation's largest optical telescope, before wind moved the fire away, authorities said Friday. Officials were forced to close the observatory to prevent ash from damaging the telescope's $20 million mirror. By The Associated Press Soldiers began battling forest fires on Friday that have charred thousands of acres in the Northwest, as flying ash from a Southern California blaze forced astronomers to close the Mount Palomar observatory. Forest, brush and grass also burned in Oregon and Nebraska, with small fires in Utah and Wyoming.

More than 21,000 people were at work fighting fires throughout the West according to the Boise Interagency Fire Center in Idaho, the nation's fire suppression headquarters. Almost 225,000 acres had been blackened or were burning since a rash of lightning storms in the middle of last week. Some fire crews had been at work more than a week; fresh firefighters have become rare. "We are stretched for firefighting crews, and they're going to be harder to get," said Dave Rittersbacher, su-. pervisor of the Boise National Forest in Idaho.

But firefighters in Idaho and Oregon were to get help from the Army. 1,300 soldiers and support personnel from Fort Carson, and Fort Riley, were scheduled to arrive in Idaho today, said 8th Infantry Col. Anthony Trifiletti. About 1,300 soldiers from the 9th Infantry, based at Fort Lewis, were scheduled to begin training in eastern Oregon on Friday before moving to more hazardous duty Saturday.

In- terment Ml. Hope Ceme- rC tery. In parlor 1 p.m. fn BEIJING (AP) China said Friday that it would not crack down on intellectuals even though some had participated in recent pro-democracy protests. At the same time, it stripped Fang Lizhi, a leading dissident, of his post on an academic board.

An unsigned commentary in the Communist Party newspaper, People's Daily, appeared to be aimed at reassuring China's educated elite, some of whom have come under sharp attack for supporting what the party calls "bourgeois liberalism" Western liberal ideas and the pro-democracy movement, led by students. "There has been some concern as to whether the party's policy toward intellectuals would change. It is necessary to reaffirm that it has not changed and will not change," the commentary said. But it called the intellectuals who took part in the student movement "scum of the intellectuals who do not represent the intellectuals" and "ene-. mies of the party and of the people." The army's violent crackdown on mass demonstrations in early June has ushered in a new era of repression.

The crackdown has brought an end to a period of relatively free political debate. Newspapers once more are under strict party control, and the works of 10 writers, including Fang, have been banned. The state-run New China news agency said Friday that Fang, an astrophysicist, was relieved of his position on the Academic Degrees Committee under the State Council, China's Cabinet, and of his qualification to tutor doctoral students. Fang, who took refuge inside the U.S. Embassy in Beijing with his wife shortly after the crackdown, already had lost another minor post but apparently still keeps his main job at the Beijing Observatory.

The government has issued arrest warrants for Fang and his wife, physics professor Li Shuxian, on charges of inciting pro-democracy protests. It also has demanded that the U.S. Embassy turn them over to Chinese authorities. Thousands of students, intellectuals and others are believed to have been arrested for participating in the seven-week movement. BOSWELL, EDWARD Asleep in Jesus Aug.
