Healey Taylor T. Lowry Jr. Lee Tucker Whitney Davis DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) With a banner headline reading "So Long! It's Been Good to Know You" printed over replicas of front pages from the past, the Des Moines Tribune published its final edition yesterday. "I guess it feels like I lost an old friend," said Bill Maurer, managing editor of the afternoon newspaper that merges tomorrow with, its corporate colleague, the morning Register. "Some believe that newspapers are in decline.

This is not the truth," publisher Gary Gerlach wrote in the final edition. "Newspapers are rapidly changing, as are many other things, but, overall, newspapers have never been stronger." Officials of the parent Des Moines Register and Tribune Co. said they decided to merge the two papers because shrinking profits and a changed marketplace made publishing both dailies impractical. The Tribune had a peak circulation of 147,000 in 1947, but had dropped to 68,000 by this year. The morning Register had a circulation of 220,000 in 1947, and the latest Audit Bureau of Circulation figures show its daily circulation at 218,893.

About 27,000 people subscribed to both papers, and the Sunday Register has a circulation of 400,000. The combined paper will have an initial circulation of 248,000, newspaper officials said. The Tribune was known for its colorful coverage of Des Moines and its- suburbs; the Register circulates statewide. About 180 of the newspaper's 1,030 employees lost their jobs in the merger. "You know well people are going to die, but you don't expect an institution to die," said Tribune copy editor Robert Kolarik.

"And the Tribune is an instutition." Many newspaper staffers gathered in the fourth-floor newsroom to watch the last edition go to press shortly after 8 a.m. The Tribune's edition yesterday was abbreviated, and usually only a skeleton staff is assigned, but many who were not assigned to work The Aisoclated Pres Copy editor Chuck Klein reads obit came in to watch the preparation of the final edition. In an effort to revive the Tribune last year, officials converted the Saturday edition to a tabloid format featuring entertainment and consumer news. For the final edition, however, the paper was switched back to a full format and much of the edition was devoted to stories about the paper and featured a black-bordered sketch of a dripping writing quill titled "The Tribune." Among all the stories about the newspaper's history, there was a tiny tribute set in agate type in the newspaper's daily listing of deaths in the Des Moines area that read "TRIBUNE Des Moines, 75, of 715 Locust died at home 'Torture chamber in Dallas 2 chained, raped, police say SHINGT0N SENATOR DeCONCINI I WANT TO BE A REPUBLICAN FOR DeCONCINI of Elvis Presley and Jesus Christ. Boards had been nailed across the apartment's three windows, making it "almost impossible to escape," Whitfield said, and the hall was decorated with women's underwear.

The woman who escaped had been held for a week. Police said she was from Houston. Dressed only in dirty rags, she got away by tying together bedspreads and breaking through a bathroom window. Police said they entered the second-floor apartment and rescued a woman they said was from Michigan. She told police she had been held captive there since December.

Williams, a laborer, was arrested about two blocks from the apartment. He was held for investigation of aggravated kidnapping under a $200,000 bond set by Municipal Court Judge Michael O'Neal. The Michigan woman was unchained but "almost to the point of being crazy, he had her so intimidated," Whitfield said. "She was extremely weak from all the torture. She was brainwashed.

She was scared to death." Whitfield called the filthy apartment a "semi- NAME. ADDRESS. CITY DALLAS (AP) One woman was held for nine months and another for a week in a "torture chamber" where they were chained at the neck, beaten and repeatedly raped, police said yesterday. A neighbor said she knew the women were being held captive, but never called police. "You could hear her hollering and him beating them," said Zona Minnieweather, whose apartment is across a vacant lot from that of Leonard Williams, who was taken into custody later.

"You could hear them women all through the day." Police found the boarded-up apartment after the older of the two women managed to escape. Police said they then rescued the younger one, who was naked and "almost crazy" from nine months of torture. Williams, 39, was arrested a short time later. The women, one 37 and the other 20 years old, were covered with cuts and bruises and were treated at Parkland Memorial Hospital and released. "We've provided a place for them to stay," police spokesman Bob Shaw said.

"It's amazing. It's pitiful," Sgt. E.L. Whitfield said. "In my nine years of experience, when I walked in, all I could say was, 'Oh, my It was such a shock." Investigators found logging chains, an 18-inch piece of pipe and bloody sticks when they entered the apartment Friday in the run-down and poor section of town called South Dallas.

The apartment was decorated with pornographic photographs and souvenirs of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Trash and homemade sex devices were strewn about, police said.

The women told police they had been chained by their necks, beaten with sticks and pipes and raped and sexually abused. Their captor had cropped the women's hair almost to the scalp "so they would be less attractive and would not try to escape," investigator Steve Hatchell said. The women told police the man would padlock the only door when he left the apartment..
