We get calls from people all over looking for exclusive brand names at our realistic prices or colors In bedspreads that they can't find anywhere. Most of the time we have what they are looking for in stock. Once we received a call from a person in Scottsdale, Arizona, who 1 wanted instructions on how to get to our place from the L.A. airport. f.

I have concluded that there must be a lot of frustrated women out there looking for that elusive something that will make their deco- rating fantasies come to life. You might say we are the Fantasy Island of bedspreads. "There's the plane! The plane!" "O.K. Tatoo, don't get excited. When the plane lands, those people "1L will fulfill their fantasies at the Bedspread Kingdom." mi iuimiikmiimk uimK AL GREENWOOD, THE BEDSPREAD KING (213) 498-9277 tM 2750 E.

Pacific Coast Hwy. at Temple Long Beach open 7 days io to 5:30 of the panelists' opinions, they said the ideas would be considered when three short stretches of the river way are improved this year and when promised bike paths are installed. "We in public office don't always have the best ideas," Ferraro said. "We get them from you people, then we take credit for them." A more formidable obstacle may be the Army Corps of Engineers, whose major concern is preventing TODAY Continued from Bl and commuter rail, to ease congestion on the Ventura and Long Beach freeways. Renderings he exhibited Thursday depicted "a vibrant esplanade" where trees, shrubs and parks would form a greenbelt between the recessed freeway and at-grade houses and schools.

Mike Davis, who teaches urban theory at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, said his students and colleagues found those drawings amusing. "One of the first things you learn in studying architecture is the most monstrous kind of design can be prettified," Davis said. "But this is an absolutely fictitious picture. It just wouldn't work in terms of light and noise and other things." State Sen. Art Torres (D-Los Angeles), whose alternative Los Angeles River Parkway bill is headed for the Assembly, said the Katz plan would not even significantly reduce traffic.

"It would just serve to increase our dependence" on vehicles, Torres said. "Once it's constructed and completed, it's going to be out of date." Instead, conference speakers outlined their own ambitious dreams to tear out the concrete channel walls and replace them with rock-filled wire baskets, which can be topped with dirt and hold ground cover and other plantings; to replant native species like live oak, willows and wild grapes; to lure native birds like herons, egrets and black skimmers to nest there again. "Wetlands respond well when we give them just a little bit of help," said Christine Perala, a botanist. "Of course, they respond better if we don't bulldoze them in the first place."

Jonathan Speelman of England and Zur-ab Azmaiparashvili, Evgeny Bareev, Alexander Khalifman and Mikhail Gurevich of the Soviet Union all scored 7-4 in the strong 42-player tournament. Each qualifies for the 1991-1992 World Cup, the lucrative series of tournaments run by the Grandmasters Assn. (GMA). Next at 6V4-4'4 were Alexander Be-lyavsky, Boris Gelfand and Vassily Ivan-chuk of the Soviet Union, Murray Chandler of England, Lajos Portisch of Hungary and Nick de Firmian of Berkeley. All but Gelfand and Ivanchuk qualify.

The GMA had allotted 12 spots in the World Cup to top scorers in the tournament, but another rule prevented more than five Soviet players from qualifying. On tiebreak, Belyavsky became the lucky fifth Soviet representative, white Gelfand and Ivanchuk, two youngsters who may be the world's third- and fourth-best players, missed out. The final three qualifying spots went to Kirill Georgiev of Bulgaria, Predrag Nt-kolich of Yugoslavia and Yasser Seira-wan of Seattle, who finished in a tie with many Soviets at 6-5. Thus, two of the four U.S. players competing in Moscow qualified.

Boris Gulko of Massachusetts finished with 5W-5V5i and Tony Miles, nominally of Seattle, had 416-614. There will be 24 players in the next World Cup. Gary Kasparov, Anatoly Kar-pov, Valery Salov and Jan Ehlvest, all of the Soviet Union, Ljubomir Ljubojevich of Yugoslavia, and John Nunn of England, the top six finishers in the 1988-1989 World Cup, have already qualified for the next cycle. Six more will be chosen by rating. In a GMA meeting in Spain, world champion Kasparov, the founder of the GMA, was reelected president by a vote of 115-10.

Shortly afterward, he resigned in protest over the decision by the GMA's previous officers to work more closely with the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Kasparov has feuded with FIDE president Florencio Campomanes for years. NATIONAL OPEN The National Open, held last weekend in Las Vegas, drew 1,115 players, making it the largest open tournament of the year, and one of the largest of all time. The 372-player Championship section featured 113 masters, including nine GM's and 13 IM's. Seven players split 1 0,000 in prize money by tying for first place at bW-Mt: GM Dmitry Gurevich of Chicago, IM Alexander Ivanov of Massachusetts, IM Igor Ivanov of Dominguez Hills, GM Grigory Kaidanov of the Soviet Union, 1 5-year-old Gata Kamsky of New York City, GM Sergey Kudrin of Connecticut and IM Jeremy Silman of Beverly Hills.

Under the leadership of Fred Gruen-berg of Chicago, who organizes the tournament in cooperation with the U.S. Chess Federation, the National Open has grown to become the most successful of the USCF's "Triple Crown" events. Only the privately run World Open and New York Open have attracted greater crowds, and they have the advantage of drawing on larger local player pools in Philadelphia and New York City. Gruenberg succeeds with enthusiastic promotion. He bills the National Open as "the affordable event," and emphasizes all the free extras for players.

Just Richard Katz doesn't know it's a LEWIS MacADAMS floods. A study of the river channel completed this year by Sweeten found weaknesses in the system and indicated a need for 2- to 8-foot extensions of the concrete walls southwest of downtown. "It doesn't do a whole lot environmentally, I know," Sweeten said. "But it's the most effective use of federal funds to provide flood control." Inadvertently, Katz may have helped bolster the ranks of the 700-person-strong Friends of the River. Several people said Saturday that they had come to the conference to support an alternative to his proposal.

Kent Strother joined the Friends of the Los Angeles River shortly after Katz's plan was publicized last year. "That seemed like the force of hopelessness demoting the environment instead of promoting it," Strother said. "This was a more positive vision." small segment of a pool of some 30,000 Crips and Bloods in the Los Angeles area alone," Killorin said. "This is just the beginning." Starting Thursday morning, a force of more than 150 federal agents swept into crime-plagued communities across the nation to carry out the arrests. The federal bureau's Southern California agents were reinforced by 20 ATF agents from Washington who were flown with their unmarked cars on an Air Force C-5A transport from a base at Dover, to the El Toro Marine Corps air station, Killorin said.

At least 135 suspects were detained in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Arrests also were made in several Northern California cities and in Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washingtonand two other states that were not identified by authorities because warrants were still being served. The targeted suspects were identified through several months of investigation, authorities said. Almost half of the suspects have felony arrest records, Killorin said. The new charges logged against those arrested range from possession of shotguns to violations of the federal Career Criminal Act a law designed to punish repeat offenders with three or more prior narcotics or weapon felony convictions.

July 15 AUCTION Sals StarU at 10 AM Home Continued from Bl Another 32 suspects were in custody in San Bernardino after 100 officers from that city's police department conducted a raid early Friday in conjunction with Operation Streetsweep, Officer Eileen Prieto said. Law enforcement authorities Saturday reported conflicting views on the impact of the federal raids. Some saw no immediate changes.

"We've got business as usual here, my man shootings, hassling, you name it," said an officer working desk duty at the Los Angeles Police Department's gang-plagued 77th Street Division. In Long Beach, the killing continued as one man was shot to death. Saturday and his cousin was critically wounded in a fight with gang members. Gerardo Cruz, 25, of Wilmington, was pronounced dead after he was shot in a 4:30 a.m. confrontation with gang members at 5th Street and Daisy Avenue, police said.

Other authorities, including ATF officials, said there were indications that three days of gang arrests might help keep a lid on the usual wave of weekend mayhem at least temporarily. "It tends to be quieter out there when there's lots of law enforcement people around," Killorin said. But he acknowledged that the ATF and local police would have to return.
