Phone 827-4641. By JEFF WILSON Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) Acting teacher Stella Adler, who coached such greats as Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro in a career that made her one of the most influential entertainment forces this century, died Monday, She was 91. Miss Adler died of heart failure in her sleep, said Irene Gilbert, director of the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting West. Miss Adler had remained active in the conservatory, which also has a branch in New York, up to her death. "1 love actors," Miss Adler once said.

"They're aristocrats because they dare to reveal themselves. They carry the seeds of all-out knowledge." One of those aristocrats was ex- student and Academy Award- winner Brando, who extolled her impact in the preface of her book, "The Technique of Acting." "Little did she know that through her teachings she would impact theater culture worldwide," Brando wrote. "Almost all filmmakers everywhere in the world have felt the effects of American films, which have been in turn influenced by Stella Adler's teachings. She is loved by many and we owe her much." She became prominent in the 1930s as a member of the experimental Group Theater, appearing in such productions as "The House of Connelly," "Big Night" and Clifford Odets' "Awake and Sing." The Group Theater was heavily influenced by Konstantin Stanislavs- ky, the Russian director and teacher. Miss Adler drew upon those theories when she began teaching acting in the 1940s.

She pressed her students to create characters by closely studying the text of the play and its historical context, rather than primarily drawing on their own experiences, the method stressed by the late Lee Strasberg. Miss Adler also directed several New York stage productions, and appeared in a few films, including "Love on Toast," 1938, "Shadow of the Thin Man," 1941, and "My Girl Tisa," 1948.

BOSTON retired Roman Catholic priest facing sexual abuse accusations in New Mexico also molested youths while assigned to parishes in Massachusetts between 1960 and 1972, a newspaper reported Monday. The Rev. David A.

Holley forced his accuser, now 40, and two other boys to engage in repeated sexual acts on the altar and within the sacristy while Holly served as assistant pastor of St. Denis Church in East Douglas, The Boston Globe reported. No lawsuits have been filed against Holley in Massachusetts. Worcester District Attorney John J. Conte said that no one had contacted his office concerning Holley as of Friday.

The Worcester Diocese issued a statement last week offering psychological counseling to'anyone who might have been abused by Holley. A lawsuit filed last Wednesday in New Mexico claims Holley sexually abused two men during the 1970s while he was a parish priest in Almo- gordo, N.M. Holley had been ordered by the Worcester Diocese in 1971 to seek medical treatment for pedophilia at the Orderof the Paraclete Treatment Center in Jemez Springs, N.M.; a retreat for troubled priests'near Albuquerque, the newspaper said. The lawsuit also claims the Worcester Diocese and the treatment center allowed Holley to transfer to Report Says Air Force Wasted Millions WASHINGTON (AP) The Air Force wasted millions of dollars by mismanaging purchases of data processing and other computer technology, congressional investigators said in a report released Monday. The Standard Systems Center at Gunter Air Force Base in Alabama "has demonstrated a pattern of mismanagement and inappropriate actions that have resulted in the purchase of millions of dollars in unneeded equipment and services," the General Accounting Office said.

The systems center has administered more than $8.6 billion in contracts for the data processing needs of 120 Air Force bases worldwide. The AO, the investigative arm of Congress, focused on a 1983 contract with Sperry Corp. now Unisys some $476 million, at the time the largest administrative data processing contract ever awarded. The agency said that at the end of the first eight-year period of the 20-year deal, the contract had been modified 100 times and the costs had jumped to about $950 million. Raising Funds To Fight Anti-Gay Law ASPEN, Colo.

(AP) Liza Minnelli, John Gates and John Denver are among the singers planning to perform at a benefit to raise money to fight the state's new anti- gay ordinance. Ironically, thebenefit isbeing held Sunday at the Wheeler Opera House, where singer Melissa Etheridge was scheduled to appear before she canceled her show to protest the new ordinance. Several celebrities have called for a boycott of Colorado to protest Amendment 2, which prohibits state and local civil rights protections based on sexual orientation. Minnelli said "she was going to be in town and she would love to help out as much as she could" to battle Amendment 2, said Killeen Russell, a spokeswoman for Aspen Skiing which is helping to coordinate the benefit. Minnelli, 46, is famous for her dramatic flair in such films as "Cabaret" and numerous Broadway shows.

other churches, even though they suspected he was a pedophile. James G. Reardon of Worcester, a lawyer for the diocese, declined to say whether superiors approved his transfers, or whether Holley had been ordered to go to the treatment center. Last week, the Worcester Diocese ordered Holley, who now lives in Denver, back to Massachusetts for medical evaluation, the newspaper said. Holley, 65, has refused to comment on specific allegations.

Another former priest, James R. Porter, is accused of abusing dozens of people while he was a priest in Massachusetts, Minnesota and New Mexico. Porter, now 57 was convicted earlier this month of molesting a 15-year-old baby sitter in Minnesota 1987. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a $60,000 fine when sentenced Jan. 28.

State guidelines, however, recommend probation for a person with no previous convictions. He faces criminal charges involving 32 people in Massachusetts, but questions have been raised about whether the statute of limitations has expired. Porter also faces civil lawsuits by victims 'in Minnesota 'and New Mexico, where he also allegedly sought treatment. The Fall River diocese recently settled out of court for an undisclosed amount with alleged victims in Massachusetts. Boy Suspended In Alleged Fondlings ROCHESTER, Pa.

(AP) A 16-year-old boy accused of fondling or threatening five female classmates could return to school afterthe Christmas holiday, a principal said. The student, who remained suspended Monday, was sent home from Rochester High School in Beaver County on Dec. 15 after four of the girls complained to a counselor, Principal John Barnes said. The girls alleged the boy grabbed theircrotches or breasts, Barnes said. Ho sent them notes containing sexual invitations and threatened to hurt them if they reported his acts, Barnes alleged.

"He was smart enough to take the notes back and destroy the evidence," Barnes said. "But another girl came to me since he was suspended. She'd gotten a note but put it inside a book." The boy, who is in the ninth grade, is in the custody of a guardian, the principal said. He could return after the winter break because students can only be suspended for 10 days at a time. "If he steps over the line again, I can suspend him again," or the boy could be expelled, Barnes said.

NFG Gas Well Continues To Burn ANITA, Pa. (AP) A natural gas well burned for a third day Monday as an energy company prepared to quench the blaze. There were no injuries in the fire at the National Fuel Gas Co. well in a remote part of McCalmont Township, Jefferson County. Flames were shooting 35 feet into the air, said David Waples, a spokesman for Erie-based National Fuel.

The well ignited Friday night, and the cause of the blaze remains unknown, he said. The 5750,000 rig above the well was melted. Burning natural gas creates carbon dioxide and water vapor, and the flames are tinted yellow, Waples said. Thousands of gallons of salt water may be used to cool ground near the well before it is capped, officials said. On Monday afternoon.

National Fuel was awaiting the arrival of a gas-fire expert from Houston, Texas, Waples said. Algeria Bans Newspaper ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) The government again banned a national newspaper as part of its crackdown on the Muslim fundamentalist opposition, an official source said Sunday. There were also signs of spreading oppositionto the government within the military, the main force behind a ruling committee that look over last January and canceled elections the fundamentalists were about to win. Ninety military officers and soldiers charged with conspiring with the fundamentalists were scheduled to go on trial Sunday in a proceeding that could bring the death penalty. But the defendants forced a one-week postponement by resisting the trial in Bechar, 590 miles southwest-tof Algiers.

government news agency APS said the postponement was due to "the lack of respect of the sovereignty of the court by the defendants, who refused to comply with the court's rules." It did not elaborate. This Day in History By The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, Dec. 22, the 357th day of There are nine days left in the year.
