Deborah Michelle Lange UMW President Hits LTV Corp. As 'Fraud CLEVELAND (UPI) United Mine Workers President Richard Trumka today urged congressional leaders to stop allowing the LTV Corp.

to commit "fraud" by canceling benefits to retirees. Trumka's comments came during an emergency hearing of a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, attended by more than 200 people in a hall just a few miles away from LTV Steel mills. Trumka said that in addition to 78,500 steelworkers affected, some 1,500 "miners in Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia also lost health and life insurance benefits when LTV filed for protection under federal bankruptcy laws July 17. "If the nation allows at the stroke of a pen to deny their benefits," Trumka said, "then, I submit we've created fraud on the American workers." Harvard Law School professor Vern Countryman, who described himself the nation's No. 1 authority on bankruptcy law, said, "What they (LTV officials) have done is in flat violation of the 1984 Sen.

Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, who directed the hearing, and the other members said bankruptcy laws are not de- signed to allow a company to terminate benefits without, court action. "We believe they have broken the law, and the Justice Department is to enforce the law," Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, said. Traficant asked United Steelworkers union President Lynn Williams to put pressure on the Justice Department to order LTV to provide the benefits. Williams, who said benefits to retirees were not suspended during the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp.

bankruptcy case, said LTV has given the union no option. "There's been no attempt to negotiate. The company simply announced the decision," Williams said. "They're hiding behind their view of the law, and said the law requires them to do what they have done," Williams said. LTV and Republic Steel merged in 1984, forming the nation's second-largest steel producer.

The July 17 bankruptcy filing by LTV was the largest such filing in U.S. history in terms of company size and debts owed, Metzenbaum said. The corporation listed debts of more than $4 billion.

New UPI Owner Seeks Advice From Clients INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) While asking clients for their confidence and suggestions for improvements in United Press International, the new owner of the news wire Saturday announced the planned hiring of more than 100 new editorial staff members and the addition of new services.

Speaking through an interpreter, Mario Vazquez-Rana told the United Press International Indiana Newspaper Awards Banquet that he has authorized the immediate hiring of 25 new reporters and correspondents. Those new jobs will include some employees who were laid off when the wire service filed for bankruptcy in April 1985. "I don't want to indicate by that that the (economic) situation is not difficult anymore; actually it is worse," he said. "But we are trying to pull the situation up." Vazquez-Rana, who paid $41 million to bring the company out of bankruptcy in June, said company officials have been authorized to hire between 75 and 80 new editorial employees during August and September. The first round of replacement hirings will be divided between the company's domestic and overseas operations, with 20 positions going to the domestic side, and five positions in overseas operations, he said.

UPI's first priority is to replace staff members in states where UPI has nearly ceased to exist due to the layoffs, he said. "The major part of our efforts at this time goes specifically towards those states where UPI virtually stopped the production of local reports," he said. Current plans call for UPI to open 50 to 60 new bureaus worldwide, including Persian Gulf bureau, he added. UPI is also negotiating with two companies "similar to Dow Jones" to provide information for a new financial news service to clients, at no extra cost, he said. The service is expected to start by the end of the year.

While UPI hopes to increase its efforts in sports, entertainment, and celebrity news, the 54-year-old Mexican newspaper publisher said the company will remain a general-purpose wire service. "Our basic world-wide coverage is, of course, the most important thing," he said. Vazquez-Rana also appealed to the clients to share their suggestions to improve the wire service's delivery of news. Winamac Driver Burned WINAMAC A Winamac man is in stable condition in the burn unit at Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis after suffering severe burns late Friday night. Jerry G.

Sullivan, 24, Rt. 4, Winamac, was injured when his pickup truck collided with a semi tractor-trailer while both vehicles were northbound on U.S. 35 near Pulaski County Road 700N. According to police, the accident occurred when a semi driven by Rick D. Bradley, 28, Knox, attempted to pass Sullivan's truck.

According to Pulaski County Police fOfficer Barney Rausch, police are uncertain of the circumstances, but he speculated that Sullivan may have been attempting a left- hand turn when Bradley attempted to pass him. Bradley apparently hit the brakes and the semi jack-knifed. Sullivan's truck went under the trailer of the semi and burst into flames. The fire set Sullivan's clothes ablaze, but he was able to remove the clothes. The accident is still under investigation by Pulaski County Police.

Bradley, who 'was knocked unconscious, refused emergency medical attention. Sale Calendar July Patman Larry W. Aaron July Rush Estate. Carl Johnson July J. Rhodes Carl Johnson July Miller DaveHirt Aug.
