Walsh also is investigating whether associates of the Marine lieutenant colonel set aside $200,000 to give to his wife in case of death, the Chicago Tribune reported. In May 1986, at the height of the secret sale of arms to Iran and the diversion of profits to the Contras, North sold a townhouse in Falls Church, for $115,120, the Tribune said. The newspaper said North purchased the house for $89,500 in August 1979, and held it after he bought his home in Great Falls, for $139,000 in July 1983. The sale is significant because North's associates in the Contra-supply effort were arranging to install a $16,000 security system at the Great Falls home, the newspaper said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Harold Stassen, the boy wonder of the Republican party 49 years ago who became the grand old loser of the GOP, is launching his eighth bid for the White House. The 80-year-old Stassen, who waged only token campaigns his last few outings, said Monday be decided to enter the race because the other candidates are not discussing what he considers to be the important issues. Presidential politics' perennial also-ran, a lawyer and former three-term Minnesota governor, made his first bid for the White House 40 years ago. Stassen indicated he doesn't have a chance of winning, saying any delegates be may win "will not be tied or committed to me personally but will free at all times to individually or jointly have an Impact on the final choice for the Republican nomination and the election." "We will not attack personally any other candidates, but will endeavor to move all of them, of both parties, on the four issues in which we believe so deeply," he said in remarks prepared for delivery today. His four-point program calls Jor: Enactment of a 30 oercent im port tax on all products that can be efficiently produced in the United States.

Redirecting all agricultural subsidies and inheritance taxes into a $50,000 per unit capital fund for each family owned and operated farm, ranch and business. There would be no interest charge for the 15-year loans. Establishment of a child-care program to replace the Aid to Families with Dependent Children welfare program. Following through on President Reagan's initiative for a verified nuclear weapons reduction, and providing leadership to establish a better United Nations. "I am deeply disappointed that none of the candidates for the Republican nomination for president, and, in fact, none of the candidates for the Democratic nomination, have brought toward any of these four crucial measures," Stassen said.

Stassen was a major contender for the nomination in 1948, losing to Thomas E. Dewey. He also mounted campaigns in 1952, 1964, 1968, 1976, 1980 and 1984. He once said he was "not very active at all" in his last three presidential campaigns. "It was just a matter of going into some primaries to make a statement about my views," he said in 1986.

Stassen said in 1984 he was waging his last campaign, but Independent-Republicans persuaded him to run for Congress against Democratic Farm Labor incumbent Bruce to last fall. Stassen received 27.1 percent of the vote. Stassen on Monday said he went to Iowa earlier this month to attend a debate of presidential candidates and later decided to enter the race because "the most important steps that need to be taken are not being talked about."

Joseph' Bt den's campaign, says, "He's traveled so extensilvely overseas in the past that we really don't think we have to put on a show for everybody." For whatever reasons, the list of current and one-time 1988 contenders who have traveled abroad is lengthy: Hart traveled to the Mideast in the summer of 1986, the Soviet Union for two meetings with Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev last December and to Brazil and Argentina last spring shortly -before he announced his presidential candidacy.

Dole made his visit to Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua to study the Central American peace plan signed Aug. 7 by Ortega and four other presidents in the region. Kemp and 60 conservative leaders went to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador earlier this month on a trip that included a visit to a Contra rebel camp. Buckley said the principal purpose was to build support for a $310 million package of Contra aid that Kemp has endorsed. "Whatever benefit (to Kemp's campaign would be residual," he said.

Sen. Albert Gore a Democratic contender for the White House, made a trip to Israel during late summer and met with several senior Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. "It was not a political trip," says cam- -paign spokesman Mike Kopp, adding that the trip was the outgrowth of a journey-Gore made a year earlier. But, Kopp conceded, It's important to him professionally to continue to have this dialogue with world leaders and there may be some gain in that." Kemp sets up shop in Pa. HARRISBURG (AP) A Re publican congressman from Lancaster County has been chosen to head U.S.

Rep. Jack Kemp's presidential committee in Pennsylvania. At a news conference Monday at the Capitol, Thomas Kemp, theicandidate's brother, also announced the formation of a 166- member steering committee for the statewide camapaign and said Republican activist Marc L. Holtzman of Luzerne County, would be state campaign chair man. Kemp said Pennsylvania's 97 delegates make the state an im portant stop on the road to the White House, even though earlier primaries and caucuses get much of the attention.

Walker was state co-chairman for the Reagan-Bush ticket in 1980, while Holtzman was the Reagan-Bush campaign's executive director. "1 think the issue here is who is going to have the ideas here that can move this country forward into the 1990s," Walker said dur ing a news conference at the Cap itol. He added that Vice President George Bush is "part of the politics ot the Wis, 70s and 80s. The Bush campaign announced last week that its Pennsylvania committee includes seven of the 11 Republican congressmen and 100 of the 196 members of the Re publican State Committee. By DAVID ESPO Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) When Vice President George Bush sets out Thursday for a nine-day tour of Europe, he'll be globe-trotting in the finest tradition of presidential contenders.

As an incumbent vice president on official business, Bush's Air Force jet and retinue of Secret Service agents mean he'll travel in higher style than one-time Democratic contender Gary Hart did when he went to the Soviet Union last year, or than GOP rivals Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas and Rep. Jack Kemp of New York did on separate trips to Central America recently. Foreign travel by a presidential contender is such an established part of campaigning that when New York's Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo announced plans recently to travel to the Soviet Union, it sparked rumors that he would reverse himself and enter the presidential race.

Cuomo is meeting with Soviet leaders this week. For years, presidential candidates have traveled abroad in hopes of projecting an image back home of a stateman able to deal on an equal basis with foreign leaders. "The people who need to go overseas are the people who need to establish bona Tides in foreign policy," says Greg Schneiders, an adviser to Democratic presidential hopeful Brace Babbitt. Roger Stone, who is giving advice to Kemp, says he would offer the following to any of the relatively little-known Democratic contenders: "I would go around the world, so you can say in your television de-. bate on international trade, 'Well, Prune Minister Nakasone (of Ja- pan) told or, 'When I talked I with (West German Chancellor) R0L-E2E One Coal EXTERIOR HOUSE PAINT 1 399 GAL AP News' for his soon-to-be announced campaign for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination.

"I think any foreign policy activity serves to emphasize the fact that the vice president has a significant amount of experience dealing with foreign policy leaders," says Craig Puller, the vice president's chief of staff. Not that a trip abroad always guarantees unalloyed political success. Dole traveled to Nicaragua late last month and engaged in a tense debate with President Daniel Ortega. But he became embroiled in controversy when he returned home and suggested that a Uttte "three-day invasion' of the Sandinista-nin country might be appropriate. Aides to Bush's campaign rivals are quick to suggest that the vice president's trip to Poland and five Western European countries is too close to the campaign year to be anything but political.

At the same time, they seek to minimize his foreign policy background. "It's not where you've been, but what you stand for," says John Buckley, a spokesman for Kemp's presidential campaign. But barring a misstep by Bush, bis trip seems certain to give him a political boost. "There's obviously some political benefit to Bush," said Richard Moe, who is familiar with such subjects from his stint as chief of staff during Walter Mondale's tenure as vice president. "As in Mondate's case, Bush has a lot of relevant foreign policy experience and he's trying to dramatize that, and I don't blame him." But, Moe added, "I think there's every reason to be skeptical about a trip put together in this time frame." Bush's journey is described as an official trip to consult with allied leaders about arms control talks with the Soviet Union, with a four-day stop in Poland to "assess" relations.

Nine days after he returns, he will travel to Houston for a formal declaration of his candidacy for the White House. Even contenders who don't plan any pre-campaign travel tacitly concede the political value of having made such trips. Larry Rasky, a spokesman for 24 7:00 P.M. MARY CARTER PAINTS 412 PHILA.
