Page 6 CARDUNAL COMMUNITY NORTHWEST HERALD Monday, November 9, 1987 U.S. trade negotiator say trade bill unlikely this year A "s- Li v. 4-- i 1 iwiim. 1 I 1 1 1 I the trade bill was "a- loser" and probably worft be considered when conferees meet to iammer out a compromise. The provision, sponsored by Rep.

Richard Gephardt, and a presidential candidate, provides for mandatory actions against nations, principally Japan, that have excessive trade surpluses with the United States. Yeutter sounded more positive about a Senate provision that mandates action against nations that bar U.S. exports. It is sponsored by Danforth and Sen. Donald Riegle, D-Mich.

The Senate provision, he said, has "considerably broader support" and will probably be the basis for a compromise provision. The administration remains opposed to some of main provisions in the House and Sen-ate versions of the trade bill, charging that they are protectionist and would hurt the nation economically worldwide. On other matters, Yeutter said he saw some "positive signals" in the Common Market's recent proposal, in response to the U.S. plan, for phasing out farm subsidies among the world's top agricultural nations. in House-Senate conference committees, said action this year was still possible, however.

"I still plan to finish the trade bill this year," Sen. Lloyd Bent-sen, D-Texas and leader of the Senate conferees, said through a. spokesman. Bentsen, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said he didn't want to see a lapse in the administration's negotiating authority endanger new trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland. A spokesman for GOP Sen.

Jack Danforth, another leader in the talks, said the Missourian "continues to believe it can be tied up by the end of November or the first of December." A House Ways and Means Committee spokesman said "it's up in the air" because Ways and Means and Senate Finance members were deeply involved in the top-level budget summit. By the time lawmakers get around to the trade bill, Yeutter said, the recent stock market troubles will have had "a positive effect on the content of that bill generally. It will be helpful in rationalizing changes that would jettison many if not all of the protectionist elements." In his remarks Tuesday, Yeutter said the so-called Gephardt provision in the House version of By James Worsham The Kansas City Times WASHINGTON The Reagan administration's chief trade negotiator said Tuesday that he thought chances had increased that Congress would produce a trade bill to the White House's liking but probably not this year. p.S. Trade Representative Clayton K.

Yeutter said the recent Wall Street crisis had made it less likely that a significant trade bill would contain provisions viewed by the administration as protectionist. "There's considerably more caution on Capitol Hill today than there was prior to the stock market crash of several weeks ago," Yeutter told a small group of reporters. He said the troubles on Wall Street would make it easier for lawmakers to justify dropping some of the controversial provisions from the measure. Some observers have expressed fears that a trade bill with provisions for import restrictions or duties on goods entering the United States could further shake already fragile stock markets worldwide. Yeutter also said that in view of the crowded legislative calendar in Congress this month and next, a trade bill was "more likely next year than this year."

Amid drizzle and dark clouds, a red and white van accelerates toward Pyramid Lake. The driver is on a mission that becomes more dismal each day.

The van stops at the ranger station on an overlook by the lake. Robin Primavera sprints inside, clutching a photograph of a niece who disappeared two weeks ago. "I'm looking for somebody," she tells the woman who sells fishing permits. "I'd like to leave you a photograph. This is the girl we're looking for." "Oh, she's pretty," says Valdai Wachsmuth, the clerk, eyeing the red-cheeked woman in the picture.

"Yes, she is a pretty girl," Ms. Primavera says quickly. "She would be attracted to this place. We're thinking she may have come out here for a couple hours and met foul play. Some people mentioned the lake, we're just thinking of the possibilities.

We don't want to leave any stone unturned." Neither the clerk nor the game warden, both sympathetic, can be of help. Ms. Primavera leaves un deterred. Maybe someone will see the picture; maybe someone will call. Although authorities may believe otherwise, this extended family is firmly hanging on.

If the sheer force of their determination could guide the missing woman home, Stefanie Stroh, 21, would be back home in San Francisco. Ms. Stroh had spent a recent summer climbing mountains in Colorado. It's too much to believe that self-reliant, strong young woman could be lost to them especially when she finally was so close to home. She only was, a few hours from completing her dream trek, a 10-month trip that took her from San Francisco to Nepal, through India and Thailand to Rome and England.

Friends wanted to go with her. Ms. Stroh insisted on going alone. "She said you can't get to know other people when there's someone else with you," says Joni Settlemier, her mother, of San Francisco. "This way you have to 'go out and meet people." Ah aspiring writer, Ms.

Stroh frequently sent letters filled with details about her trip, making her journey a vicarious adventure for her relatives, a familial chain that A I Repalcement Furnaces Replacement Boilers (puM Humidifiers Air Cleaners Energy Efficient Products FALL FURNACE SERVICE Independent Lennox dealer serving your community stretches from San Francisco to Sacjjfcnento. rpky put maps on their walls to note her progress abroad; they copied and shared her letters. Like any traveler; Ms. Stroh eventually became tired by the constant movement. She flew to New York in mid-September.

"She looked fantastic," says Ms. Settlemier, who met Ms. Stroh there. "She knocked on the door and she looked so cute." Ms. Settlemier wanted her daughter to fly home with her, but Ms.

Stroh was determined to complete her world trip on In New Jersey, she met a friend, Art Torrance, 26, also a student at Reed College in Portland, Ore. On Sept. 22 they started hitchhiking across the country. Ms. Stroh called her mother approximately twice a week.

On Oct. 15, in Salt Lake City, the pair split at about 2 p.m. Torrance hitched a ride back to Portland. Four hours later, Ms. Stroh was in the town of Wells, near Nevada's edge.

She used a credit card to call home, leaving a message on her mother's answering machine that she'd be home the next day. "Leave the key under the mat," she said. Ms. Stroh was last seen hoisting a gray rucksack, mirrored pink purse and a set of drums she'd bought in Nepal. Clad in black shirt and pants, she carried her passport, about $12 and her journal.

"It's a geometric progression," says Hal V. Dunn, Wells police chief. "If you have a person missing for a day, there's a good chance hell turn up the next day.

Just after dawn each day, Ms. Clute gathers with Stefanie's cousins, aunts, uncles and friends in a hotel room furnished with maps pinned to closet doors and stacks of flyers on a table.

"We're looking where our hearts tell us," says Marven Stroh of Ukiah, unable to contain his tears. "We're just doing what we have to do. We don't have a lot of leads. She's out there. She knows we're looking for her.

We just have to find her." They've covered Nevada in four-wheel-drive vehicles, carting flyers and tape and granola bars, talking to truck drivers, store owners, tourists, fishermen. Inspired by their determination, teams of volunteers and college students have helped search the area. Despite their lack of success, the family is certain Ms. Stroh is alive. "We all go up and down, we can't understand why we can't find her," says Ms.

Settlemier. "But you just have to keep thinking that she made it all the way around the world and she was fine, and that 'she'll make it."
