BillToStipLCBOf Law Enforceent Duties Moving Fast In Senate HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) Legislation that would shift the law- enforcement duties of the Liquor Control Board to the attorney general's office is moving quickly through the Senate. Less than 24 hours after the bill was introduced, the Law and Justice Committee Wednesday voted 10-1 to send the measure to the full Senate for its consideration.

The Senate could pass the legislation as early as next week and forward it to the House. Any action by the House, however, likely would be Two Veteran Criminals Use Razor Blade Concealed In One's Mouth To Escape OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) Officers have expanded the search for two veteran criminals, including a Pennsylvania man, who used a razor blade concealed in ones mouth to overpower two guards and escape with the officers' pistols and car. The U.S. Marshal's Office said late Wednesday that Joseph William Dougherty of Philadelphia and Terry Lee Conner of Terre Haute, were "possibly attempting to travel to Shortly after leaving the two deputies handcuffed to a tree near Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma City Wednesday, the two escapees commandeered another auto at gunpoint at a truck stop, officers said. Local, state and federal officers joined in the manhunt, which was initially concentrated in the Oklahoma City area but later extended statewide, authorities said.

U.S. Marshal Stuart Ernest said the escapees had an identification card, a badge and credit cards belonging to one of the "seasoned" deputies. He said they also had pistols previously issued to the deputies. "My understanding is federal prisoner Conner had the handcuff key and the razor blade in his mouth and was able to release himself from the Earnest said. Conner and Dougherty were sitting in the back seat and the deputies were in the front seat, the marshal said.

"He attacked the deputy from behind in just a blink of an eye and held the razor blade to his cheek and throat area and advised them to hand over their weapons, which they did," Earnest said. He said that after being handcuffed to the tree the "semi-double-jointed" deputy in charge "was able to free himself after a short period of time." Earnest said Conner and Dougherty, suspects in a 1982 Oklahoma City bank robbery, had been held in the nearby El Reno federal reformatory Tuesday night. Store Chain Says It Won't Sell Adult Magazines ALTOONA, Pa. (UPI) The Altoona-based Sheetz convenience store chain says it no longer will sell adult magazines. Although the magazines generate about $500,000 in sales a year, company president Stephen Sheetz Wednesday said officials "were not comfortable with the idea of selling the magazines." "We decided to take a stand, one that we believe is right," said Stephen's brother, Stanton, vice- president of finance.

The company's 123 stores in western Pennsylvania and Maryland were notified by mail to pull the magazines from the shelves. "It has been kind of slow in coming," Stanton Sheetz said of the decision. "We recently got many complaints, mostly from church groups. We are here to serve the community." Much of the opposition centered in Chamberburg, Franklin County, and in Maryland. Officials of Playboy and Penthouse, two, of the magazines no longer to be sold, expressed opposition to the Sheetz decision.

"It is sad that people are bowing to pressure from small, but vocal groups," said Leslie Jay, vice president and director of public relations for Penthouse. Paul Engleman, Playboy magazine's publicity director, said retailers have the right to decide what products carry." But, he said, "I can't see anything harmful in the display and sale of Playboy magazine." MILLIONAIRES MOANING: Gary Trudeau's "Doonesbury" comic strip moves from Frank Sinatra to Palm Beach, this week and already well-heeled are becoming unglued along "Millionaires Row." The satirist portrays the rich town as a narrow-minded, bigoted police state. The millionaires are moaning. "Why wbuld he do this?" scowled Jesse Newman, perennial president of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, who gpt an advance peek at the strip. ''He's Jane Pauley's husband, 'isn't Mayor Yvelyne "Deedy" a descendant of French jperor Charlemagne, says, "It's no foundation of fact." Town Member Nancy Simmons athit of the Simmons Mattress added 2 cents worth: have the skin of a erous to live here." Conner, already sentenced to 25 years for the holdup, had arrived from San Francisco late Tuesday and was scheduled to testify for Dougherty at his bank robbery trial Wednesday.

In the holdup, a bank officer and his family were held hostage in their home the night before the robbery, then forced to drive to the bank. The suspects waited for the vault to open and took about $700,000. The two were arrested several months after the holdup. Earnest said both men had "very lengthy criminal records of a violent nature" and were considered "very much" dangerous. delayed until the end of the Legislature's two-month summer recess beginning July 1.

Supporters of the legislation say the LCB's enforcement of liquor laws creates an impression of impropriety because the agency also is responsible for state liquor and wine stores and licensing other sales of liquor, wine and beer. Sen. Vincent Fumo, DPhiladelphia, cast the only vote against the bill in the Senate committee. "I'm not saying that, if you switch (the law-enforcement powers), it's going to hurt," Fumo said. "What I'm saying is let's take care of the problems where they are." The senator said that Republican Gov.

Dick Thornburgh, in his campaign to discredit and dismantle the LCB, has withheld necessary funds from the board to improve its lawenforcement practices. Thornburgh has proposed selling the liquor stores to private interests and shifting the LCB's licensing and policing duties to other agencies. The bill to strip the board of its law- enforcement responsibilities was introduced by John Shumaker, R- Dauphin, the chairman of the Law and Justice Committee, and Eugene Scanlon, the highest-ranking Democrat on the panel. The committee has held a series of so-called sunset review hearings on the LCB in preparation for a Senate vote on whether the board should remain in operation. In a second LCB-related matter Wednesday, the Law and Justice Committee refused to support a board-proposed regulation to allow MADONNA FINALE: Madonna closed her 28-city tour Tuesday night before a sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden and then headed to New York's trendy Palladium nightclub to celebrate with 500 guests.

Her parting words were just as mystical as those Prince used when he finished a tour this year and said he was going to "climb the ladder." "When you next see me I will have changed into another life form but you'll still wonder why I have such an effect on you," she said without offering translation. "I want to thank New York for the ultimate inspiration." Madonna's change to another life form might be disturbing to Russell Baker, The New York Times' Pulitizer Prize-winning columnist. Baker wrote Wednesday that he had just found out Madonna was "rock's hottest female star." He said he and other readers had "been so busy trying to find the temperatures of Prince and Michael Jackson that 2e didn't know somebody named Madonna was suddenly at maximum heat." SIMPLE LIFE What with the high cost of everything, it is not a simple matter to live a simple life today. beer manufacturers and distributors to advertise prices. Opponents said the rule would hurt small beer producers and distributors which cannot afford advertising campaigns.

The LCB in May unilaterally lifted the 33-year-old ban on advertised prices, citing fears that the prohibition was unconstitutional and a potential benefit for the beer industry and consumers. The Independent Regulatory Review Commission is the agency responsible for overseeing the implementation of new regulations. It has not yet considered the LCB move. The IRRC is not required to follow the Senate committee action. Killed The Pilot Faulty Brakes Blamed For April TAG Plane Crash AVOCA, Pa.

April's fiery plane crash that killed the commander of the Tactical Air Command and four others was caused by a malfunctioning valve in the aircraft's hydraulic system that crippled the plane's brakes, steering and landing gear, an air force official says. Gen. Jerome O'Malley and four others, including O'Malley's wife, Diane, were killed April 20 after their CT-39 Sabreliner made a perfect landing at the Scranton-WilkesBarre International Airport but failed to stop and fell 110 feet down an embankment at the end of the runway. Air Force Brig. Gen.

Dick Tr- zaskoma said Wednesday the crew members applied the aircraft's brakes manually but could not stop it before it left the runway. Trzaskoma said it could not be determined if O'Maliey was piloting the plane. "The crew attempted to cope with the (brake) failure but, due to the nature of that system failure, all normal and auxiliary hydraulic pressure was lost," Trzaskoma said. "It was therefore impossible to use the normal brakes." Trzaskoma said the aircraft was not equipped with thrust reversers or a drag chute, noting that the brakes were the only way to stop the plane. The pilot would have needed to apply manual brakes with 750 feet of runway remaining in order to stop the aircraft, Trzaskoma said.

There were indications that the crew tried to raise the landing gear and slide on the plane's belly but the hydraulic malfunction prevented the system from working, Trzaskoma said. The malfunction also crippled the plane's steering. Trzaskoma, who called the Sabreliner a "rugged and reliable GROssmnn 's PRODUCTS company aircraft," said the plane had received proper maintenance prior to the flight. "The aircraft had valve failure and there's no way to predict that," he said. O'Malley, 53, was a Carbondale, Lackawanna County, native flying to Scranton to speak at a dinner honoring U.S.

Rep. Joseph McDade. Trzaskoma said the plane left the runway traveling 63 mph after touching down on the runway at 98 mph. He said the plane flew off the runway 270 feet before falling down the embankment. Also killed in the crash were Capt.

Harry Hough, 28; Tech. Sgt. Robert Eberflus, 35, and Lt. Col. Lester Newton, 39.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS: Attorneys in Miami did their best to jazz up the courtroom decorum, but they found their knee-length robes a bit hard to handle. "Judge, if you spin around in these things do you go up in the air?" asked attorney Guy Bailey. "Yeah," Circuit Judge Richard Feder replied, "like Mary Poppins." It was Feder's idea to dress up the five lawyers in a product liability case as part of his plan to upgrade courtroom decorum. Monday, Feder wore a silver gray robe with gray velvet band, while the five attorneys were decked out in flowing black gowns all purchased by the county at $50 a pop. The lawyers inadvertantly swished stacks of paper to the floor with the voluminous sleeves and caught the hems on chair arms when they stood up.

Defense attorneys had objected to wearing the robes, but the judge overruled them. "They'll get used to them after a while." the iudee said.
