Green Bay police said the victim was Margaret C. Anderson, 35, 997 Shawano Ave. Now they want to know how she spent the last few hours before her throat, was slashed. Anderson's body was found by a paswer-by shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday near the entrance to Packerland Packing Co.

in the 1200 block of Lime Kiln Road. Positive identification was made at 5:25 p.m. After three anonymous callers mentioned Anderson's name in connection with a police sketch and a description of the clothing she was wearing, police checked an application for a bartender's license filled out by the woman in 1975. They then contacted the woman's 16-year-old son, Robert, who had been staying with his father for the past few days. The teen-ager did not know that his mother had not been home, police said.

Police are checking out a number of suspects, especially "night people."

Roemer BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) The owners of a propane tank recovered from the rubble of a warehouse that exploded and burned, killing five firemen and a resident, may face criminal charges because they had no permit, the fire commissioner says. The blast, which injured about 70 people and left dozens of families homeless, occurred when workers tried to move the tank and its nozzle broke, allowing volatile fumes to seep out, fire investigators said Wednesday. The gas was apparently ignited by a wood stove. Firefighters sifted through debris in the devastated neighborhood, which was declared a disaster area Wednesday.

Investigators, who have not been able to determine who owned the gas tank, interviewed three, workers who were in the five-story brick warehouse when it blew up Tuesday night. Damean Rice, 28, said he was working on the third floor "lowering the tank to a new location when it rolled off the forklift and onto the floor," said Fire Investigator Fred Zadowicz. "The nozzle broke and gas began to seep, according to Mr. Rice, who panicked and fled the floor on the elevator." Rice and two other employees who were working on the first floor ran out of the building and called the police emergency number from a mobile phone in one of their vehicles. But as firefighters arrived, the gas filtered to the first floor, where it was touched off by the Continued on A-2 Nice in here Keri Wagner, 11, and her sister, Karyn, 7, ignore the nasty weather outside and relax in the whirlpool at the Holiday Inn-Downtown in Green Bay Wednesday.

Reagan: Ho Lebanon changes defined" and he called anew for their removal. Former Vice President Walter Mondale, another Democrat seeking the presidential nomination, did not issue a statement, but a spokesman said he believes the Marine mission was poorly defined.

While the commission headed by retired Adm. Robert L.J. Long was critical of U.S. intelligence and senior officers responsible for the safety of the Marines, it also said their mission in Lebanon was so badly defined that officers were unable to agree on what it was.

While the Pentagon report, released publicly Wednesday, stopped short of calling for the withdrawal of American troops, Democratic presidential hopefuls were more critical. Sen.

Of the Press-Gazette 0 middle of the party season in Green Bay. This invariably raises thorny issues on etiquette as we are engulfed in this mad social whirl. As we all know, partying it up in Green Bay isn't exactly top hat and tails time. I know people here whose idea of a fancy party is when shots of schnapps are served with the beer and there are pretzels and potato chips available. But this time of the year some people really go all out.

And we common folk, accustomed to and vaguely comfortable in our no-frills approach 10 socializing, are confronted with some sticky situations. son? Save it for the biggest Green Bay event of the year that first tailgate party. Here are some other tips: 1 have found a navy blue coat to be an essential item. It can carry an entire holiday season's quota of drips, slurps and spills without needing a cleaning. Also, ties are superfluous; they tend to swing about and land in things they shouldn't such as soup.

Then you can perfect what I call "double shrimp swoop," meaning you deftly pluck two shrimp from the bowl at once, plow them through the sauce and into your mouth with one sweeping movement.

Oysters, of course, are no problem. Simply act as though you are in a Southern oyster bar and slide them down your throat by the dozen. This tends to impress Northerners. Chewing is not necessary and, in fact, is considered rather gauche. Proper garb.

I. hope you take these suggestions to heart, since it's no fun attending a party or going out on the town totally bereft of social expertise. It is no fun being regarded as a slob, either; I should know.

(AP) Five months after a brain disease left a 7-year-old boy "hopeless," the child is making a baffling recovery which his father says began the day he was visited by his hero, baseball star Dave Stapleton. "His doctors said, 'If you're religious, we'll call it a miracle, and if you're not we'll call it medical David Butler, father of Sean Butler, said Wednesday. However, Sean continues to battle leukemia. "He's a trouper-and-a-half," he said. "We count every day that he's with us as premium time." All 'evidence of leukoencephalopathy, a disease that once covered 90 percent of his brain, has disappeared, he said.

Dr. Stephen Sallen, Sean's present physician, said the brain disease may have been caused by a drug used to treat the leukemia. "On Aug. 5 they told us it was hopeless," said Butler, referring to his son's physicians. In a coma much of the time, Sean asked his father if he could see Stapleton, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox.

A nurse overheard and contacted the infielder, who appeared at Sean's bedside Aug. 9. Sean "seemed to be comatose at the time," said Butler. "But Dave Stapleton got him awake and they talked about baseball and the All-Star game." Just before Stapleton 's arrival, he said, tests showed that the brain disease had suddenly disappeared. The disease has not returned since, he said.

The ballplayer's visit had nothing to do with the cure. Butler said, but did wonders for Sean's spirits. Butler said he now worries about his son's medi- cal bills since being notified that his insurance company would not pay beyond a $250,000 maximum.
