$5.2 billion, about 80 percent loans and 20 percent real estate. But it has closed sales or negotiated payment of loans in 45 cases for only $89 million and restructured 30 bad loans worth $278 million. Together, that represents only about 7 percent of the $5.2 billion. Payne said in a FADA report that another million in property sales or loan payoffs in 142 cases were under contract or in active negotiation. The association is also negotiating to turn an additional 190 bad loans worth $630 million into performing loans, she said.

If that's accomplished, it would represent action on 27 percent of the FADA portfolio. Moreover, Payne has recovered a "phenomenal" 90 percent of the value of the properties it has disposed of so far. "The fact that we've been able to move as rapidly as we have on this massively troubled portfolio I think is a testimony to all the hard work that I and my colleagues have been doing," she said in an interview. But those who have tried to buy property from FADA say it acts like anything but an organization anxious to get the best price for what it's selling. Florio said Congress has received a flood of calls alleging that FADA is funneling business away from many potential buyers in an effort to decrease outside competition for repossessed real estate.

Meanwhile, a weak cold front extended from near Wichita Falls southwest to the South Plains.

By Carnival standards the crowds were small and restrained, only two or three deep in places, but there was no lack of enthusiasm. To his black audience, the pope spoke of the economic imbalance "even in this wealthy nation." "Far too many of your young people receive less than an equal opportunity for a quality education and for gainful employment," he said, adding that "the church can never remain silent in the face of injustice." He said the non-violent struggle by blacks for their civil rights "stands, in the memory of this nation, as a monument of honor." And he said that by his work for blacks, Dr.

Martin Luther King contributed to "the improvement of American society itself." Addressing the pope, Bishop Joseph Howze of Biloxi, said lingering racism hindered development of black leadership within the church. The pope in turn urged greater efforts at evangelism among the black community. "It is important to realize that there is no black church, no white church, no American church," the pope responded. He said there is only one church of Jesus Christ and it must be "a home for blacks, whites, Americans, every culture and race." There are 1.3 million black Catholics in the United States about 5 percent of the total black population and 2 2 percent of the total Catholic population. The pope tapped his feet and clap- ped his hands as a chorus from Xavier University, the country's only predominantly black Catholic university, sang spirituals and gospel music.

Later, at a youth rally, he urged, young people to resist claims "that you are unrealistic, out of it, backward, even reactionary" if they decline to take part in pre-marital you practice these virtues, you are liable to be accused of being the pope. He said the divine plan for humane life is that "sex is a great gift of Goplj that is reserved for marriage." "The world will try to deceive about many things that about your faith, about pleasure material things, about the dangers pt-3 drugs," he said. "At one stage another the false voices of the will try to exploit your humaS-? weakness by telling you that life no meaning at all for you." vjj That, said the pontiff, would "the supreme theft." W3 The young people had gifts for pontiff, symbolic of their talents: woodcarving, a picture of youtfcf working together, and a Mardi Graaji mask. The pontiff took the made of feathers and sequins iH5 traditional purple gold and green cof-5 ors, and placed it on his head to Of A delight of the crowd. pjj In his address to primary anfij secondary educators, the pope them to promote respect for the2 cultural and racial diversity amonjH their students.
