Gardner said the current settlement could help WPPSS' efforts to refinance the debts on three other nuclear plant projects. He said refinancing could save interest totaling $1.4 billion. "That could save Washington ratepayers in. the range of $750 million to $1 billion through the year 2018," Gardner and Eikenberry said. In recommending the settlement to the Public Utility Board and city council, Utilities Director Ted Coates reaffirmed Tacoma Light's denial of liability and its belief that it never engaged in any wrongdoing related to the defunct projects.

"Even though we believe we have a strong case, we believe this settlement is in the best interests of our customers, when weighed against the risk of an adverse judgment and the expense and time required to continue the trial and appeals," Coates added. "We think the settlement approved today is fair and reasonable, and is a significant step forward in removing this litigation cloud from the Northwest," Coates said. Coates also said the settlement "would have no significant impact" on electric power rates. Whoops Continued from Page One any settlement would not end the trial. The trial resumes tomorrow.

Before the settlements, which now total $591 million, the trial was expected to last at least a year. Some 24,000 past and present bondholders and their trustee, Chemical Bank of New York, are accusing the defendants originally including 88 Washington utilities of lying and trying to hide information that might have discouraged potential investors before WPPSS defaulted on the bonds. The $2.25 billion in bonds sold were to finance two nuclear power plants, but the plans were abandoned in 1982. The bond default was the largest in U.S. history.

Should the $226 million settlement package be approved, it would leave only one utility Snohomish County Public Utility District in the suit. However, under the agreement, the utility also has the option of joining the settlement by next Monday. Although the remaining defendants are two Washington Public Power Supply System engineering firms and a financial consultant, Gardner and Eikenberry said they were optimistic the latest settlement could wipe out the "cloud" of WPPSS litigation. World responds Managua's plea for hurricane aid MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) The international community, including private U.S. groups, is send-i ing tons of aid to Nicaragua in response to the government's plea for help to the victims of Hurricane The first plane carrying U.S.

aid arrived Saturday night at Managua's A.C. Sandino International Airport from Tucson, with 30 tons of food, medicine, blankets, clothes, tents and building materials, according to Karen Glenn, a missionary with the Evangelical Committee for Aid to Development, an umbrella group for Protestant organizations. About 200,000 people were left homeless after the hurricane swept a path of destruction through Nicaragua on Oct. 22. The torrential rains and winds downed bridges and destroyed crops, with the Atlantic coast and the south-central regions suffering the worst damage.

The Sandinista government called on the international community for urgent aid. Cuba, Nicaragua's closest ally, sent thousands of tons of supplies from Havana to Bluefields, the hardest-hit coastal city. Glenn said the donations on the Tucson plane came from Walk in Peace, a group started in Georgia by the Rev. Don Mosley.

The two cases of whooping cough last month were on the southwest side, where the outbreak started in April, and where most of the cases have occurred. One of the cases involved a boy under the other, an 11-year-old boy who apparently caught it from another household member. This year's cases have occurred in children and adults ranging in age from 1 month to 43 years, with about two-thirds of the cases in children under 7. The Pima County Health Department's recent survey of about 5,200 county clinic and private day-care records showed that only about half of the children in Pima County have been adequately immunized against pertussis. Evelyn Shaw, assistant director of health services for the Tucson Unified School District, said parents seem more diligent this year about getting their children immunized against whooping cough.

The state requires only tetanus and diphtheria shots for children entering school. "But I do know that parents were really sensitized to the need to get the whooping cough shots this year," Shaw said. Continued from Page One the time, doctors say. Booster shots also are recommended for children first entering school. The vaccine is given with two other vaccines, for diphtheria and tetanus.

The disease is most common and most serious in children under 7. Whooping cough the common name for pertussis gets its name from the whistling sound children make as they gasp for air between coughing spasms. Antibiotics usually are effective, but possible complications include convulsions, pneumonia and brain damage. The pertussis vaccine carries the greatest risk of serious side effects of all childhood vaccines, with one in 110,000 children developing encephalitis, an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain. One in 400,000 who get whooping cough will suffer permanent brain damage.

Leopoldo Galtieri, the former military president, of his rank yesterday and sentenced him to 12 years in prison for mismanaging the 1982 Falkland Islands battle with Britain. In partial confirmation of an earlier ruling by the highest military tribunal, the Federal Appeals Court gave the same sentence to the other members of Galtieri's junta Adm. Jorge Isaac Anaya, then navy commander, and Brig. Gen.

Basilio Lami Dozo, who was chief of the air force. The military tribunal's verdict automatically was sent to the civilian appeals court for review. That court can revise civilian or military judicial rulings. Defense lawyers said the convictions probably will be appealed to the Supreme Court. Judge Horacio Cattani, president of the four-member panel, said all three officers were "equally responsible" for the "mistakes, omissions and negligence" that led to defeat in the 74-day war over the islands.

Galtieri, Anaya and Lami Dozo made up the third military junta to rule after President Isabel Peron was deposed in March 1976. Appeals court judges acquitted three other officers who were instrumental in carrying out the war Gens. Mario Benjamin Menendez and Omar Parada, and Vice Adm. Juan Jose Lom-bardo, all now retired. The case stems from the junta's decision to invade the South Atlantic islands in 1982, and the conduct of the battle until Menendez surrendered his troops on June 14 at Stanley, capital of the Falklands.

In May 1986, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces convicted Galtieri, Anaya and Lami Dozo of negligence and incompetence, sentencing them to 12, 14 and eight years in jail, respectively, and stripping them of rank. Menendez, Parada, Lombardo and seven other officers were acquitted.

daily and from 7 to II a m. Sunday. MANILA, Philippines (AP) pirate passengers briefly took over 'three planes within a 24-hour period on Sunday and yesterday to protect flight cancellations because of bad weather and equipment, an official of Philippine Airlines said. Enrique Santos, company vice president for public relations, said the incidents occurred at the Manila airport and at the central city of Ba-colod. about 300 miles southeast of the capital.

Santos said several flights to Ba- colod had been canceled or delayed since October because Bacolod airport equipment had broken down, offering incoming flights "poor navigational aid." He said the first of the three incidents occurred Sunday in Manila when a domestic flight bound for Bacolod was canceled because of the weather. When informed of the cancellation, about 109 passengers led by an unidentified lawyer took over a plane scheduled to leave for Davao in the south and demanded to be flown to Bacolod, he said. The protesting passengers left the plane after 20 minutes, when airline authorities assured their booking for another flight yesterday. Yesterday's flight left Manila without incident But upon landing at Bacolod, the passengers refused to leave the plane and demanded that the airport's radio and runway lights be repaired immediately. The passengers left the plane an hour later after local officials as sured them of action on the request, Santos said.

After a return flight to Manila, six passengers refused to leave their plane for an hour to protest what they deemed "an apparent discrimination" against Bacolod airport They left after being told that eight other domestic flights were canceled because of bad weather, Santos said. He said that airline officials had not decided whether to file charges against the passengers..
