Storms rake north-central states; heat wave kills 2 Thunderstorms rumbled over the north-central states Friday, spinning off a tornado in Wisconsin, while temperatures in the Southeast shot past 100 degrees for a fifth day, killing two people in Georgia. A cold front across the northern Plains helped trigger heavy showers and thunderstorms across eastern South Dakota, where marble-size hail, heavy rain and gusty wind raked Columbia.

A tornado touched down in Madison, near Dane County Regional Airport, damaging eight houses, but there were no reports of injuries. Other thunderstorms developed rapidly across the Southeast and the Tennessee Valley, and a storm pounded sections of St. Louis, producing marble-sized hail, strong wind and heavy rain. A flash-flood watch was posted for eastentral Kansas, where up to 4 inches of rain fell Thursday night onto already saturated ground. Behind the front, Alamosa, had a record low temperature of 37 degrees, breaking the old mark of 42.

By contrast, the temperature in Columbia, S.C., and Augusta, reached the century mark for the fifth day in a row, with a reading of 102 in both cities. The heat wave was expected to continue for the next few days. In Dublin, a 51-year-old woman collapsed at her home from what appeared to be a heat stroke and died at a hospital. She had no fan or air conditioner. Another woman, 74 years old, was found dead Thursday in her Dublin home, where she had been dead for up to 15 hours, a medical examiner said.

Her air conditioning unit apparently had broken. Associated Press lonight: fair. Sunday: sunny. SOUTH CENTRAL NEVADA Today: sunny with winds 15 to 20 mph. Tonight: fair.

King's Inn is owned by Allan Bergendahl of California, who purchased the property for $3.95 million in a 1982 foreclosure sale. The hotel opened in 1974 with a casino, but has only operated as a hotel in recent years. The eight-story hotel was built for $6.5 million.

Richard said he will allow the King's Inn to reopen sections where the infrastructure is brought into compliance. The cost for completing the sprinkler system could cost as much as $70,000, he said. SunTomorrow 5:43 a.m. Full Last Qtr. New First Qtr.

Ford tried to waive her right to an automatic appeal in a death sentence, but the Nevada Supreme Court appointed three psychiatrists to examine her and determine if she was competent to make the decision to waive the appeal. The psychiatrists said she was not, and the Supreme Court ordered that the appeal be made on her behalf. In April, the Supreme Court rejected her appeal, although in a footnote the court said it did not necessarily agree that she should have been sentenced to death in light of the severe mental problems she had that were brought out in her trial. Normally, after the Nevada Supreme Court rejects a death sentence, the case is sent back to the trial court for a new date of execution to be set within 30 days.

But since the last psychiatrists who examined her said she was incompetent and the U.S. Supreme Court said a state can't execute an incompetent person, she has to be re-examined and declared competent before any execution date is set. If she is still declared incompetent, no date will be set until psychiatrists sometime down the line, if ever, say treatment has made her competent. Even if these psychiatrists say she is now competent and a date is set for execution, it would most likely be stayed while other avenues of appeal in state and federal court are pursued.

"It is clearly the F-19 that crashed," said an investigator on the House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight and investigations subcommittee. The committee, chaired bv Rep. John tion of Kern County and Forest Service firefighters.

It also killed the pilot. County and federal officials told reporters later that they had been ordered by Air Force officers to say nothing of the crash, but at least one Forest Service firefighter told a reporter he had gotten within a quarter-mile of the crash site. "There were no signs of any wreckage," the fireman said. "It looked like the whole thing must have just burned up. There was just a big black spot on the side of the hill." About 100 Forest Service and county firefighters fought a 150-acre blaze around the downed plane, containing it at 8 a.m., a Forest Service spokeswoman said.

About 10 a.m. a convoy of a dozen Air Force vehicles, including a military ambulance, entered the area. Air Force security guards, armed with M-16 rifles and pistols, blocked access to the area. Reporters and television camera crews who had journeyed up a dirt logging road were not permitted within four miles of the crash site. Civilian planes were not allowed to fly at less than 8,500 feet above the area.

The air space above the crash site is part of the so-called R2-508 military range, where much of the nation's most advanced aircraft testing is conducted. It was not clear if the remains of the pilot were found near the plane. Guess would not respond to questions on whether the pilot had bailed out or gone down with the aircraft. The secrecy surrounding Friday's crash was reminiscent of an incident in Nevada in May 1984, when Air Force Lt. Gen.

Robert M. Bond, vice commanding officer of the Air Force Systems Command, died in the crash of what the Pentagon said was "an Air Force specially modified test craft." There was some immediate speculation that Bond was flying a stealth aircraft. But, a few days later, Pentagon sources indicated the general died in an advanced Soviet MiG fighter being tested at Nellis. The Air Force, at the time, released little information on that accident, including how the United States gained possession of a Soviet fighter. witnessed by a pilot in a chase aircraft.

The use of a chase plane would be normal procedure in flight testing, especially with an aircraft as secret as the F-19, the source said. If, indeed, the aircraft is a Lockheed stealth fighter, then, according to previously published reports, it is one of several dozen in the Air Force's inventory built during the last five years at Lockheed's "Skunk Works" in Burbank, the secret facility for construction of advanced aircraft. The planes are believed to be based in an isolated and tightly guarded corner of the huge Nellis Air Force Base and Tonopah Test Range, outside Las Vegas, according to a recently published book entitled "Stealth by Bill Sweet-man, a British author. Their existence is a closely guarded secret. Both the Pentagon and Lockheed have consistently refused to comment at all on the plane, refusing to even admit it exists.

However, the Pentagon has acknowledged that it is currently working on a stealth bomber, using the same advanced technology. It is being developed by Northrop Corp. in Southern California. The Air Force plans to buy 132 of the aircraft, but none has flown yet. Edwards Air Force Base is the site of the Air Force's principal test center for advanced aircraft, and a wide variety of experimental jets are tested at the base.

Test flights are frequently flown between Nellis and Edwards. At the Pentagon Friday, high-level Air Force officials said the airplane that crashed in the Sequoia National Forest was not a stealth bomber, but when asked if it was a stealth fighter, would not comment. There have been published reports that at least two, and possibly four, Lockheed F-19s have crashed in recent years in the vast expanse of Nellis Air Force Base and the adjacent Tonopah range. Because the crashes were not witnessed by civilians and none of the pilots were killed, little is known about them. However, Friday's crash occurred well outside the tightly secured Nevada base and range complex and started a large brush fire that came quickly to the atten D.

Dingell, has been investigat ing alleged security leaks on tne -19 program at the Lockheed California Co. in Burbank, a city near Los Angeles. The F-19 reportedly exploded in midair, explaining why the pilot was not able to safely eject and why there was little wreckage at the crash site, according to an Air Force source knowledgeable about the crash and who agreed to discuss the accident on condition that his name not be used. This source also said the explosion was rnme raie From page 1A in the discount rate and the subsequent cuts in the prime rate will have much of an impact on the two key weaknesses."

Greg Titus, an economist at Security Bank of Nevada in Reno, said the bank will drop its rate from 8.5 percent to 8 percent next week. Other local bankers were unavailable for comment. Robert Sinche, a managing director of Simms Capital Management in New York, said the rate cuts earlier this year helped nurture the growing boom in the housing industry and other interest-rate sensitive areas of the economy. But Sinche and other economists said weakness remains in a manufacturing sector battered by foreign competition, an lowering the discount rate the interest it charges on loans to commercial banks to 6 percent from 6.5 percent. A discount-rate cut is regarded as the most direct method the Fed uses to signal it wants interest rates to move broadly lower, and generally is followed by cuts in the prime rate, the bank's benchmark used in setting commercial loan interest.

While most credit is not tied directly to the discount or prime rates, those rates tend to mirror broad interest trends. New York-based Chemical Bank, the sixth-largest U.S. bank, was the first to cut its prime rate following the Fed's action. Major banks across the nation followed Chemical in cutting their prime to 8 percent, including: New York's Citibank, the nation's largest bank; No. 2 Bank of agricultural sector hampered by low commodity prices and oversupply, and in capital spending that has been curbed by sluggish production and uncertainty over the final provisions of the major tax overhaul being considered by Congress.

"It hasn't been consumption as much as production that needs stimulation," Sinche said. Indirectly the additionaf downward push on interest rates could aid progress in areas such as foreign trade, which is regarded as a key to overall economic growth this year. Lower rates help weaken the dollar against foreign currencies, a factor the Reagan administration has counted on to help trim the U.S. trade deficit. At the same time, the governments of Japan and West Germany may have to cut their own sustained drop in rates.

"It won't be dramatic, but it will be just one more bit of stimulus to get the econ- omy going," said Kathleen Cooper, chief economist for Security Pacific a Los Angeles-based bank holding com-; pany. The Fed on Thursday announced it was interest rates to prevent their currencies from rising further against the dollar, which makes their exports more expensive and squeezes the earnings of domestic companies reliant on overseas markets. The last discount rate cut by the Fed on April 11 was part of a coordinated reduction with Japan and West Germany. This time, Japanese officials have said they had no plans to quickly cut their discount rate which they already have reduced three times this year for fear of sparking higher inflation. But the strengthening of the yen against the dollar over the past year has contributed to an economic slowdown in Japan, and the government may cut its discount rate again to keep the yen from sharply appreciating against the dollar No clues in baby kidnapping ARLINGTON, Va.

(UPI) Police and hospital officials said Friday they are without clues as to who walked into a maternity ward dressed as a nurse and convinced a mother to hand over her 2-day-old girl for "tests." Jennifer Renee Smith, a healthy, 6-pound, llVfe-ounce girl, was stolen from her mother's arms at Arlington Hospital Thursday. The woman kidnapper, wearing a blue hospital uniform, entered Loreli Smith's semi-private room and told her the baby Record jackpot Most passersby, when told how much the unidentified man had won, would issue a low whistle of astonishment, stare at the flashing machine, then continue on, shaking their heads. The winning bell kept ringing for about four hours until representatives of the Nevada Gaming Control Board arrived to verify the jackpot was legal. The slot was verified as legal at 7 p.m. During the four hours the machine was left alone, it kept flashing the message: "HAND PAY.

CALL ATTENDANT." But when general manager Yturbide came down to the floor to present the $3,041,864.40 check there was no one to hand it to. The man was still in his room, provided free by the hotel-casino shortly after his win. "I guess he's kind of shy," said Nam-sonn King, a Stateline resident who was observing the ceremony. "If it was me I'd be down here taking that check, letting them take my picture and telling them my name. It's a shame.

I always come up here and I've played that machine before. Whooo, that's a lot of money. Wish it was me who won it." The mystery man was the only topic of discussion around the carousel as bide held up the regular size, light green check which was not made out in any name. "Where is he? Is that him," one person said pointing to Yturbide. "Nah, I hear he isn't coming down," another observer answered.

"He's probably celebrating. Wouldn't you?" The previous world's record was also set at Harrah's in December 1983 by Rocco Dinubilo, a rancher from Fresno, Calif. Dinubilo had hit the progressive carousel for $2.47 million on New Year's Eve day. From page 1A shaking while he sat there just staring at the screen," the employee said. "He just sat there like nothing happened.

So the cocktail waitress got him a drink a 7-7." After a bell began ringing to signal the win, the area around the carousel was roped off and the man was shuttled off to a free Harrah's room. gin needed routine tests, omnn said..
