LOS ANGELES TIMES A28 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1992 Obituaries KCET: Station, Mahony Reach Accord R.E. Alexander; One of Nation's Top Architects that the station saw the latest draft as a "clarification" and not as a "new policy," as the archdiocese preferred. The new program policy statement has been shortened to three paragraphs from the seven -paragraph policy in effect a year ago. Unlike the old statement, the new version includes the word accuracy in its list of broadcast standards. It also explicitly calls for "a balance of views" for the first time but nonetheless notes that it allows them wide latitude.

The statement says in part, "KCET's program mission is to provide the culturally diverse community of Southern and Central California with relevant and intelligent programming, which while adhering to the highest Public Broadcast System standards for quality, fairness and accuracy may reinforce or challenge commonly held beliefs." contributors to consider withdrawing their financial support. George Pla, a prominent Latino businessman who is president of Cordoba resigned from the KCET board and withdrew a pledge of $100,000. In addition, an estimated 1,900 station subscribers canceled pledges totaling an estimated $114,000, the station said Tuesday. But the controversy also won the station new allies, who sent in checks totaling $85,000 in direct response to the controversy, KCET's Goen said. Although agreed to last May, the revised policy was not announced until Tuesday, in part because the two sides could not agree on how a joint news release should characterize it.

KCET officials stressed future act of terrorism against churches, temples and synagogues" and that it had surrendered to "blackmail" by gay activists. At the time, gay activists threatened to tie up the station's telephone lines during its pledge drive to prevent callers from getting through. Despite Mahony's protests, station management put the 24 -minute film on the air followed by an hourlong discussion. Mahony declined to participate in the discussion, as did the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which complained that filmmaker Hilferty and members of another gay organization had been excluded. Mahony took out advertisements in The Times and the Los Angeles Daily News asking the station's OBITUARIES FUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS OHIWAKlf-S RIDDLE, JacL H.

FOLKART TIMES STAl WRITER Robert Evans Alexander, one of the most respected architects and planners in the nation, whose innovative ideas for affordable housing produced the Baldwin Hills Village in Southwest Los Angeles, has died of cancer. His wife, Nancy Jaicks, said Monday from their home in Berkeley that her husband, whose many other projects include the campus of Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa and buildings at UCLA, USC and Caltech, was 84 when he died of cancer in Berkeley on Nov.

17. Alexander, a former Los Angeles Planning Commission president, was only the third recipient of the American Institute of Architects 25 -Year Award, presented in 1972 in honor of his work at Baldwin Hills Village, now called Village Green. Alexander also designed several other Los Angeles residential housing landmarks, including Estrada Courts and Bunker Hill Towers. In a 1990 interview with The Times, Alexander said he first became aware of the need for public housing when he was a young architect during the Great Depression and "couldn't find any." That realization led him to envision and design clusters of residential homes around green spaces. The highest rent was $80 per month for each of the 629 units on Rodeo Road land that had been carved out of a bean field on the northern slopes of the Baldwin Hills.

In its citation, the AIA called the village a "notable landmark of innovative planning and design for the automobile age." The Museum of Modern Art termed the English -style garden homes "one of the most significant works of architecture in the nation." The village was designed to make the automobile a servant, not a master, Alexander said in 1990. "The basic idea was to keep the 64 -acre estate intact, not sliced up by streets. We created a se--ies of garden 'commons' meant for valking and relaxing and getting together." Converted to condominiums in 1973, the one- and two-story apartment blocks now start at about $110,000 and are occupied by young professionals. mm, Wednesday, December i at Hillside Memorial Park Chapel.

Eleanor hc ill- Lw, AngLk's I Robert Evans Alexander in 1990 Born in Bayonne, N.J., Alexander received his architecture degree from Cornell University, where he coached the freshman football team after graduation because architectural firms were not looking for help.

He came to California in 1935, joined an existing firm and worked for Lockheed Aircraft during World War II. After the war, he formed R.E. Alexander and Associates in Los Angeles. He later formed a partnership with Richard J. Neutra, considered one of the great style designers of this century.

With Neutra he built the Cor-rine A. Seed University Elementary School on the UCLA campus. The experimental school encompassed a series of post-and-beam pavilions oriented to adjoining play areas and patios that encourage indoor and outdoor use. It has been used as a model for school design since its construction in the late 1940s and early '50s. With Neutra he also designed the visitors center, museum and cyclorama at the Gettysburg National Historic Park, the Petrified Forest Community in Arizona, the Los Angeles County Hall of Records and the American Embassy in Karachi, Pakistan.

His other city projects range from Juarez, Mexico, to Anchorage, Alaska. He had lived in Berkeley with his wife since 1982. She said he had most recently been working as a volunteer in the prison hospice at Vacaville, concentrating on prisoners with AIDS.

While both sides issued conciliatory statements Tuesday, they almost immediately found themselves in the midst of a disagreement over whether the new guidelines could prevent a rebroadcast of the controversial film. Against the backdrop of a satirical song entitled "The Vatican Rag," protesters in the documentary were seen disrupting church services and spilling Communion wafers. The program outraged many Catholics as well as individuals of other faiths and prompted Mahony, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles, to lead a boycott that cost the public broadcast station an estimated $130,000 in pledges. KCET's annual budget is about $40 million. The station said it received 14,000 responses from viewers on both sides of the controversy.

Denouncing the film last fall, Mahony said that by airing it, KCET was "giving encouragement to all the hate-mongers in our midst who would burn, loot and vandalize houses of worship or disrupt religious services in the name of one cause or another." On Tuesday, Mahony said that he was so pleased with the new statement that he was renewing his own subscription to KCET and encouraged others to do the same. "Based on KCET's program policy statement, I believe that the concerns and sensitivities of the Catholic community, as well as other communities and groups in the Los Angeles area, will be considered in connection with future programming," Mahony said. KCET President William H. Robin welcomed Mahony's "expression of friendship and support for KCET and hope for a continuing positive relationship." But as soon as the two sides announced the accord, they were publicly disagreeing again over whether the program could be broadcast under the new guidelines. Mahony's office said "Stop the Church" or any similar program could "probably not" be aired under KCET's new policy.

"I don't think that's the station's view," countered Barbara Goen, KCET vice president for public information. She added, "The new guidelines would not prevent the station from broadcasting that." Asked, then, what the cardinal gained, she replied, "I think that's a question for him." Later, Mahony said through his spokesman, Bill Rivera: "I was personally assured by the leaders of KCET that something like this would not happen again." David M. Smith, executive director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, told The Times that KCET assured him that "Stop the Church" could be broadcast under the new guideline. "The cardinal," said Smith, "is most likely reading something into their statement that is just not there, bless his heart." The statement drew plaudits from filmmaker Robert Hilferty, who produced the controversial documentary. But in a telephone interview from New York, he wondered about the conflicting views of the revised policy.

"How can the two issue a joint statement and have completely different interpretations?" As for the "positive relationship" with the cardinal mentioned by KCET President Kobin, Hilferty cautioned, "I hope for the same thing, too, just as long as that friendship doesn't mean the cardinal represents some kind of censoring arm for public television." When the film was released last year, Mahony said the station should be held morally and possibly legally responsible "for every icmeiery, iNasnvme. i ennessee. PALMER, Brian Scott, a.k.a.

Westchster Funeral Home, (914 By BURT A. FOLKART I IMi STAIT WM ILR Robert Shayne, whose dramatic career included lead roles in some of Broadway's most distinguished plays and character parts in some of Hollywood's less spectacular films, has died. The veteran actor and onetime film leading man of the 1930s was 1)2 when he died Sunday of lung cancer at the Motion Picture Hospital in Woodland Hills, where he had been a patient for two months. Born Robert Shaen Dawe in Yonkers, N.Y., Shayne worked as a journalist before choosing an acting career. His first stage appearances were with repertory companies in Alabama.

By 1931, he had established the first of many Broadway credits in "The Rap." For the next 60 years he alternated among stage, film and television. In New York, he starred in "Yellow Jack," as the defense attorney in "The Night of January 16," opposite Ina Claire in "Biography," with Ethel Uarrymore in "Whiteoaks" and in "Claudia" and "Without Love," which starred Phyllis Thaxter and Katharine Hepburn, respectively. The first of his nearly 100 films was "Keep 'Em Rolling" in 1934; the last was Walt Disney's "The Million Dollar Duck" in 1971. Between those were appearances in hits like "Hollywood Canteen," "Mr. Skeffington," "Rhapsody in Blue," "Let's Live a Little" and "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and such flops as "Law of the Badlands," "Wife Wanted," "The Strange Mrs.

Crane" and "Mr. Walkie Talkie." Considered one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood, Shayne also was one of the most frequently employed. He also did several TV shows, among them "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Doris Day Show," but probably will live more in the minds of older generations as Inspector William Henderson in the long-running and still syndicated "The Adventures of Superman," starring the late George Reeves as the Man of Steel. Shayne's last credit was for the recurring role of Reggie, the blind Thinking of Eyelid Surgery?
