NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY! Hamilton said defense spending, along with interest payments and such entitlement programs as Social Security and Medicare, take up 70 percent of the budget. He said veterans, agriculture, federal pensions and "neglected investments in our future" such as rebuilding the infrastructure, education, justice and the environment, account for another 16 percent. "That leaves about 14 percent of spending, largely the safety net programs based on need," Hamilton said. "The deficit is equal to 12 percent of total spending. There is no way the savings can be squeezed out of those programs." Hamilton said the White House- Capitol Hill budget agreement last year was a "sham" and that progress has been hindered by the budget assumptions of the administration, accepted by Congress, which are made up of "smoke and mirrors." One often-cited example is rosy projections by the administration of the growth of the U.S.

economy. Hamilton urged creation of a bipartisan commission to make independent estimates of the budget and the deficit, saying then the Congress and the administration "will be put face to face with the problem, and forced more directly to provide real policy solutions." "But process reform is only a small part of the answer," he said. "At present, the deficit is like a hot potato passed back and forth between the administration and the Congress, as each seeks political advantage or, last least, the avoidance of political pain," he said. "If this game continues, we will all gel burned, at some inescapable future date." Former (Con't from Page 1) State Police from the Hollidaysburg barracks. Linda L.

Powerful (Con't from Page 1) tori urn was completely blown to pieces. There was a lot of panic and I feared we would be killed." Workers labored hours after the tremor to stabilize a 300-ton retaining wall resting at a precarious angle over the club's crushed auditorium, where the gambling operations are located. As many as SO elderly people were feared trapped in the auditorium, chief fire officer Alan Easy said.

"It's a very slow, methodical job, unfortunately," said police superintendent Ian Cleary, in charge of rescue operations at the club. "We are getting heat-seeking equipment here as soon as possible to try and locate those who are under the wreckage." Even though temblors of similar strength have not done near the damage in Southern California and other earthquake-prone regions of the world, many buildings in New Castle that were worst hit Thursday arc more than 100 years old and have not been reinforced to withstand an earthquake. Buses and emergency vehicles backed by army units were on standby in Newcastle to evacuate thousands left homeless by the quake and to transport casualties to hospitals. Two people were known dead inside the Newcastle Workers Club, one in the club's parking lot, and two others were killed by falling buildings in Hamilton, said police spokesman Craig Regan. Details of the other fatalities were not immediately known.

Newcastle real estate man Noel McFarland said the front of his office building collapsed when the quake hit. "The front of the Kent Hotel, which' has just been refurbished, was also blown out onto the road," McFarland said. "There were people under the awning when the pub collapsed. There were people laying around on the street, it was really horrifying." Power outages, interrupted water and gas supplies, transport delays and minor damage were reported all across New South Wales, which has a population of about 5.5 million. More than 35 people injured in the quake were admitted to the Royal Newcastle Hospital, "but it was subsequently found to be unsafe and the injured and scores of other patients were evacuated to nearby Linguard private hospital," Regan.said.

The Mater Hospital was found to be structurally safe and another 43 injured were admitted, six of them in serious condition. The quake triggered a series of small fires in the massive Broken Hill Propriety steel works at Newcastle. 'There is a lot of smoke still around but we are in control of the situation," said Broken Hill spokesman Bill Hope. Hundreds of homes in Sydney and the central New South Wales coast were, without electricity following power failures, and gas and water lines were broken by the quake. Panama (Con't from Page 1) according to a source close to a clergyman inside.

There were no signs that a deal deciding Noriega's future was imminent, the source said. Several sources said only two of Noriega's high-level military associates remained in the embassy with between two and eight civilian associates. Others apparently were freed through negotiations, they said. U.S. patrols carrying automatic rifles and M-60 machine guns spread out around the Punta Paiiilla neighborhood on the shores of Panama Bay, stacking sandbags and stringing new rolls of concertina wire to block access to the area.

Romanian (Con't from Page 1)' sons Nicu and Valentin, and daughter Zoe were being held by the new government an investigation and "to keep them away from the furious people." "If they are guilty, they will be put on trial," Bogdan said. The uprising against the iron-fisted rule of Ceausescu erupted Dec. 17 in the western city of Timisoara, where initial reports of thousands killed by authorities have now been thrown into doubt. The exact number of Timisoara residents killed in the fighting was unclear. So far, only one mass grave has been found in Timisoara itself, located in a paupers' cemetery.

It contained two dozen to three dozen bodies when discovered Friday. Of the bodies, many had autopsy scars long lines of sutures from neck to navel. Doctors at the Timisoara Municipal Hospital said the corpses may have been taken mistakenly from the hospital morgue when the secret police raided the hospital for bodies last week in a bid to cover up their killing of demonstrators. In a videotape of his summary trial released Tuesday, Ceausescu defended his rule and denied slaughtering Romanians.

BUCHAREST, Romania Holdout secret police faced a Thursday deadline to surrender or face swift execution by the new provisional government, which said it hoped Romania would someday join the civilized world.

Bush wants Cold-Stunned Sea Noriega To Stand Trial BEEVILLE, Texas (UPI) President Bush, saying he is determined to bring ousted Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega to justice, blamed the indicted cocaine trafficker for "poisoning the children of the United States" with drugs.

Noriega entered his fifth day of refuge Thursday in the Vatican Embassy in Panama City, where U.S., Panamanian and Vatican officials sought to end a diplomatic stalemate over his fate. But Bush administration officials insist the president, on a five-day vacation in his adopted home state of Texas, is standing firm on his position that Noriega should be turned over to the United States to stand trial in Florida on drug.chargcs. They said the president is in no mood to cut any deal to free Noriega. Bush, speaking at a barbecue in his honor late Wednesday in the southeast Texas community of Beeville, said: "We have to work with our friends in the Vatican. We have to work certainly with respect for the new (President Guillermo) Endara government in Panama." "But," Bush said to loud cheers from a gathering of several hundred supporters, "I want to see this man, who is under indictment, brought to justice for poisoning the children of the United Slates and people around the world." "I am determined to bring him to justice," Bush said.

Noriega faces charges of helping Colombian cocaine cartels smuggle narcotics through Panama into the United States and for helping them launder drug money in Panamanian banks. The Dec. 20 U.S. invasion of Panama drove Noriega from power, and set up a new democratic government headed by Endara, who appeared to win a national electionlast spring that Noriega voided. The U.S.

military offensive, the biggest since the Vietnam War, also drew words of outrage from other Latin American nations and prompted a resolution of disapproval from the 32-nation Organization of American States. Bush, speaking at a news conference in Corpus Christi Wednesday shortly after arriving in Texas, said it will take a big diplomatic effort, "and a lot of it on my part," to repair strained relations. "And I've talked to many of the leaders in this hemisphere already," said Bush. "But I think as they see this (new) government that was democratically elected, they sec it functioning, they see Noriega brought to I think you will begin to see the problem that might have been caused by a prolonged conflict down there totally laid to rest." Bush said the U.S. military, which effectively crushed Noriega's Panamanian Defense Forces, is now helping with humanitarian aid in an effort to rebuild the country's shattered economy.

A joint U.S.-Panamanian economic recovery task force sent a report to Bush and Endara Wednesday saying the U.S. invasion of Panama cost the Panamanian economy $600 million, and that the government needs an. immediate infusion of $60 million just to meet its next payroll. Turtles Are Rescued MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. (UPI) The prognosis is good for most of the 232 sea turtles found floating on their backs near the Canaveral National Seashore, cold-stunned from a sudden drop in water temperatures, wildlife experts said.

SevcntyTsix cold-stunned sea turtles were pulled Wednesday from the chilly waters where they were floating helplessly on their bellies, bringing the total number of ailing turtles rescued this week to 232. The record-setting temperatures that put the state of Florida into a deep freeze over the Christmas holiday weekend not only wreaked havoc with, the state's fruit and vegetable crops but also dropped water temperatures to 46 degrees. "When the water gets around 50 degrees it starts getting stressful for turtles," said Bruce Blihovde, a spokesman for the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, which coordinated the rescue. Twenty turtles were en route to Sea World of Florida in Orlando, where 75 were already recovering in tanks of warm water, said park curator Frank Murru. "Almost all of them are doing very well," Murru said.

"They just need to be warmed up. Quite a few of them are eating already, so that's a good sign." Two healthy tunics were released Wednesday from the. Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, which coordinated the rescue. "They were in real good shape," said refuge spokesman Bruce Blihovde. Four Dead In Fiery Tanker Collision MONTCLAIR, Calif.

(UPI) Four people were killed in a car that plowed into a disabled gasoline tanker truck straddling the San Bernardino Freeway in a fiery crash that lighted up the night sky, authorities said Thursday. "We have four confirmed fatals," Highway Patrol Officer Dwight McDonald said. All the victims, McDonald said, were taken from the burned-out vehicle that collided with the tanker, whose driver escaped uninjured. The accident took place in the freeway's westbound lanes about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday just east of the Los Angeles County line.

"The vehicle was driving along in the fast lane in the darkness, unable to see the tanker, and crashed into it," CHP Officer Vivian Firlein said. It took Montclair firefighters about an hour to extinguish the blaze, Capt. Randy Rohrer said. Officials estimated the tanker had been carrying 20,000 gallons of gasoline. 'There was massive fire in the center of the freeway when we got there," Rohrer said.

The freeway was closed to traffic for nearly five hours. The eastbound lanes were reopened about 4:15 a.m. The westbound lanes were expected to be opened by about 7 a.m., CHP officials said. New Year's DANCE Tyrone American Legion Dec. 31st 10 p.m.

The others were to be trucked to Disney World in Orlando, where spokesman Jim Hampton said some would be put in a snorkcling pool at Typhoon Lagoon, a water amusement park, and others in an aquarium at EPCOT Center. Of the 232 turtles pulled from the water by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since Monday, 61 were dead or have died, Blihovde said. "Very few died after we brought them back.

Most of them were already dead in the water, for all intents and purposes," he said. "The ones that we picked up live and brought back are doing well." Two airboat crews, worked until early Wednesday afternoon, patrolling about 15 miles of shoreline in the Mosquito Lagoon and the north end of the Indian River, Blihovde'said. "We've pretty much finished up all we could find today," he said. Murru said once they had recovered, the turtles would be tagged and released. "(The turtles) do float with their backs up, and they try to get a little air every now and (again, but some of them get so weak they drown," Blihovde said.

"It's all cold related." Most of the turtles are green turtles, an endangered species in Florida. But rescuers also found 10 loggerhead sea turtles, which are listed by federal wildlife officials as a threatened species. "The green sea turtles arc pretty docile. The loggerhead sea turtles, they will bite, but they're so cold, they're not any problem. They're pretty worn out by the time we find them.

Some of them are pretty close to death," Blihovde said. The turtles are young and range in size from 5 to 50 pounds, Blihovde said. "They stay in the lagoon and the Indian River until they mature, then they go out into the ocean and 100 to 200 pounds," he said. "The water is very shallow and susceptible to the cold, much more so than the ocean." Murru said two turtles seem sluggish and are under observation. He said it was possible for turtle? to develop pneumonia.

Blood samples were taken from the two sluggish turtles.
