Settlements totaling nearly $2.5 million have been reached in nine asbestos-related cancer and health hazard cases in U.S.

District Court, providing sums ranging from $33,000 to $530,943 to four persons and five survivors of victims. Attorney Thomas W. Henderson said all but one of the settlements were reached with 12 firms within the past two weeks, and the final case was settled last Friday to end a jury trial. The plaintiffs in the cases were workers who installed asbestos in connection with employment in the construction trades, Henderson said. The defendants manufactured the asbestos.

The settlements will go to three men and one woman who now suffer from asbestos-related ailments and four widows and a sister of persons who died from cancer or asbestosis, a progressive scarring of the lungs. Medical studies have linked asbestos to cancer and asbestosis. The Johns Manville Co. of Denver will pay the largest sum, a total of $747,500 in the nine cases, Henderson said. The largest settlement of $530,943 will go to Mary Ann Middleton of Glenshaw, widow of Robert, 55, who died in March 1981 of asbestosis and two other asbestos-related cancers, Henderson said.

Others settlements were: Teresa Ryden, of 1623 E. Steuben Elliott, widow of George, 53, who died in 1976, $331,840. Clyde Home, 55, of Bethlehem, Lehigh County, $420,330. Margaret Rust, formerly of North Side, now of Sun City, widow of Frederick, 59, who died in November 1978, $221,226. Daniel Lyons, 55, of McKeesp-sort, $243,350.

Dorothy Sload of Marietta, Lancaster County, widow of Warren, 56, who died in 1978, $420,330. Elsie Miller, sister of Ada Dzon, 62, who died in 1977 after working with asbestos in the 1940s, $33,000. The settlement includes $8,000 paid by four companies a couple years ago in the case of Ms. Dzon. Dorothy Johnston, 61, Aliquippa, Beaver County, was involved in a jury trial last Friday in the courtroom of U.S.

District Judge Gustave Diamond when the case was settled for $65,160. Edward A. Powers, 56, of Beaver County received $176,981, according to court papers. In addition to Johns Manville, the defendants and the amounts paid were: Keene Corp. of New York, UNARCO Industries Inc.

T5 By MARTIN SMITH Though drawn from such diverse backgrounds as law, art, labor and psychology, the four Libertarian Party candidates running in the Nov. 3 election for seats on Pittsburgh's City Council are unswervingly dedicated to a single, unifying axiom: "No one spends money more carefully than the individual who earns if That logically simple tenet has helped make the Libertarian Party, though still small, the third largest Clitical party in the nation.

But bertartaa methods which include abolishing taxes on property, wages and businesses are somewhat more controversial. Libertarians would eliminate up to 70 percent of all government functions including education, recreation and fire protection and return them to free enterprise. The party, launched in Colorado in 1971, is a collage of American politics. Its membership list includes former left-wingers and right-wingers who now adhere to the words they attribute to George Washington: "Government is not reason; it is not it force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." Libertarians received national publicity last year when Ed Clark, the party's nominee for president, corraled more than 1 percent of the votes cast in that election. Although the 1980 tally was encouraging, the candidates are realistic about their chances of winning.

They are: CARL H. SHELLY A 28-year-old Oakland attorney, he believes DUDLEY STUTLER Follow simple logic. the city needs only "the road department, the police and whatever is necessary to ensure air and water quality" to operate. Shelly, a University of Pittsburgh law school classmate of Libertarian mayoral candidate Russell Moon, would like to, abolish the zoning board if elected because "there should be no restriction on a landowner's right to use property as he sees fit as long as he doesn't injure anyone else." Garbage collection, fire protection and other city services should be contracted out to a private company, he said. Shelly is especially concerned about the city's involvement in Renaissance II.

"I don't believe public money should be spent to attract private industry," he said. "Lower taxation will do more to attract people to Pittsburgh than anything else." He also objects to the city's use of eminent domain, to help the PPG Corp. acquire the Market Square Eroperty it needed to build its new eadquarters. The political newcomer hopes the Libertarians "get the Democrats and Republicans discussing the issues and enough votes to influence future candidates on what not to do to their taxpaying electorate." KEITH E. DUDLEY It was the book "Restoring the American Dream" by Robert Ringer that introduced this 24-year-old Oakland commercial artist to Libertarianism.

Press Photo by Michael Chlkirii saved a few wedding gifts. Buildings By Blaze panied by the family dog, had gone to a relative's house for breakfast before the fire began. Fire officials reported no serious injuries in the blaze, but George E. Stevenson 46, of 16 Franconia Drive, Greensburg, was admitted to Jeannette District Memorial Hospital after suffering chest pains at the scene and was reported in fair condition yesterday. He is the owner of the Flooring Co.

Building that contained his offices and leased its second floor to an automobile repair company. In addition to the Hewitts' apartment three others contained in the two abutting buildings were destroyed. A state fire marshal and Jeannette fire officials had centered their investigation on the flooring company building, where an explosion reportedly occurred at about 9:30 a.m. and was felt by a fire dispatcher more than a block away. Firefighters from eight companies worked more than three hours to Eut out the blaze and several had to treated for smoke inhalation.

James Carasella, Jeannette fire chief, said the total amount of damage has not been determined and the cause is under investigation.

"He demonstrated widely fluctuating moods. "The patient related 20 years of episodic use of stimulants. There is a family history of psychological illness. He experienced multiple stress situations from the deaths of two sons and maritial conflicts." Weissman, a toxicologist in Van Nuys, testified he never found so many drugs in a body as he found in the remains of Presley. The level of codeine, he said, was 10 times the normal therapeutic amount icraaDC Distraught Kathy Hewitt Jeannette Destroyed By ELEANOR CHUTE Press Staff Writer JEANNETTE In one classroom at Sacred Heart School, Kathy Hewitt was giving a science lecture to her seventh graders, but in a second-floor room, the students and teacher were staring out the window as her apartment building went up in flames.

Minutes later. Mrs. Hewitt, who lived only a block away from the Jeannette, Westmoreland County, fiarochial school, watched freighters make a futile attempt to save her building and two others at Second and Magee avenues which fell victim to the five-alarm blaze yesterday morning. Even after most of the 200 firefighters had left the scene, Mrs. Hewitt, a popcorn popper in one arm, was trying to salvage other gifts she and her husband had received at their Jane wedding.

While they lost many of their belongings, they did salvage her wedding gown. When a fellow teacher told her about the smoke, Mrs. Hewitt worried that her husband, who has been on strike from National Aluminum in Murrysville, might be home. Fortunately, her husband, accom- Elvis MD Trial MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) Singer Jerry Lee Lewis was dependent on stimulants and told a drug abuse specialist, "I want to fly to the moon," a jury was told today.

Dr. David Knott gave the testimony in the trial of Dr. George Nicho-poulos, accused of overprescribing addictive drugs to rock 'n' roll king Elvis Presley, Lewis, himself and eight others. Knott followed Dr. Norman Weissman, who testified yesterday he found 14 drugs, most of them depressants, in body specimens removed from Presley during an autopsy.

Only codeine was present in a toxic amount. Knott testified about his exami gas -J alJ 1 1 GttpemnD Do If elected, Dudley would like to abolish the zoning board and the fire department and would "privatize" most services now provided by the government Dudley also opposes affirmative action, which he said "is a violation of a businessman's right to hire who he wants to hire." He also says a proposal to elect council members by district would create "a special interest group for each district, so I see no advantage." The Pittsburgh native objects to the city's involvement in Renaissance II, especially the land acquisition for the PPG project through eminent domain. Concerning tax breaks and other government incentives the city used to trigger corporate enterprise, Dudley said, government is robbing them' in the first place (through taxes), and when they give them a break they look at it as a gift from God." His goal in this election is to win a seat on council, but he admits his chances are slim. "We're really hoping to outdo the Republicans so the people will know there's an alternative to the Democrats here." CHARLES STUTLER Billed as the party's "North Side union man," he is a father of three who feels the current council is wasting tax money by floating bond issues and "running up more and more debts." Stutler is a forklift operator at the H.J. Heinz Co.

plant and has been a member of of the Canning and Pickle Workers Union Local 325 since 1956. Like his running mates, Stutler would eliminate all government functions except road and police departments and then abolish most taxes. He also would cut "a lot of city employees" to keep the budget down. Renaissance II is a "waste of taxpayers money" and would have taken place without government incentives to the corporations involved, he said. "The government can bend a little to help (attract people), but it shouldn't spend our money.

Let the private corporations spend their money," he said. NURITH ALMAN Like Dudley, this 41-year-old Squirrel Hill woman first became interested in Libertarian philosophy through literature "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. Although some interpreted the book as a call to anarchy, Mrs. Alman, a Tel Aviv native, says she's adopted a more moderate stance. Her husband, Leo, speaking for Mrs.

Alman while she recovers from recent surgery, said the primary issue in the election is the city budget Mrs. Alman, who received an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master's degree in rehabilitative counseling from Pitt, also would return many government services to private enterprise and would turn away the libraries and symphonies that rely on government money "since everybody doesn't use them.1' The city's role in the PPG land acquisition was "theft" and council's awarding the city cable television contract to one company, Warner Cable, created a "natural monopoly," Alman said. Renaissance II progress would have been accomplished by a Libertarian government because "the Libertarians would have abolished many taxes, and that's what stands in the way of progress," he said.
