CHP Officer Tom Stone said the girl was arrested for driving under the influence and released for treatment at Ukiah Adventist Hospital.

Summit- Continued from Page 1 The Soviets, however, have moved more dramatically to ease restraints on public expression and have permitted competitive elections and a level of democratization practically unheard of in China. As a result, Gorbachev is seen as something of a hero to many of the Chinese students, who have been demonstrating for a month to press their demands for democracy and freedom. They sought to invite him to address them at Beijing University, but the Soviets deferred to their official hosts, noting Gorba- chev's schedule had been arranged well in advance. The last Soviet-Chinese summit was in Beijing between Nikita S.

Khrushchev and Mao Tse-Tung in 1959 as Mao challenged the Soviets' leadership of the once- solid Communist bloc. Relations plummeted shortly afterward, and the Soviets pulled out thousands of technical advisers who had been helping rebuild China. In the years since, China endured the trauma of the Cultural Revolution, and the Soviets experienced what is now referred to as the "era of stagnation" but which is remembered here as a time of Soviet adventurism in Asia. The Soviets boasted the summit would achieve normalization of relations between the two powers, restoration of ties between their ruling Communist parties and set the stage for substantial growth in cross-border trade. The Chinese, however, have stressed the need for concrete steps to ease tensions, including settlement of their outstanding border disputes with the Soviet Union and completion of the Vietnamese withdrawal.

By KEITH MICHAUO Journal Stiff Writer Renewed claims of child- abusing satanic cults in Mendocino County received fuel recently with reports the U.S. Army has been investigating a possible connection between child abuse cases here and those at the Presidio day-care center in San Francisco. Ukiah Police Chief Fred Keplinger confirmed today he asked Army investigators looking into allegations Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, a satanic priest allegedly involved in molestations at the daycare facility, to also look into similar molestation cases in Ukiah.

A published report also said the Army officer might have been involved in the Jubilation Day Care Center case in Fort Bragg. The Fort Bragg investigation, which began in 1985, indicated some children were molested in church-like settings common in ritual abuse cases. Keplinger said the original cases in Ukiah came up several years ago. He said the police at first thought the children were molested by family members. Other suspects were named later and the children described "ritual type settings" and gave other information that led the police to believe the cases might be connected to the Presidio case.

He said victims of the child abuse described "church-like settings, burning of candles and animal sacrifices." "We know there are other victims," said Keplinger, and urged parents to pass on any information they might have regarding the case. Victims of the child abuse described 'church-like settings, burning of candles and animal Neither Keplinger nor a U.S. Army spokesman could give details about the investigation here or at the Presidio. Keplinger said investigators are caught between constitutional issues the right of citizens to practice a religion of their choice, but not if it involves criminal acts. "(Investigators) will be dealing with the criminal allegations," said Keplinger.

He stressed investigators are looking into child molestation and are not investigating satanism. Keplinger said city police and Army investigators worked together for several months, but the results of the investigation won't be disclosed until the Army completes its investigation. Tom MacKenize, the civilian chief of media relations at the Presidio, said, "We (Army) don't discuss cases still under investigation." According to a published report, Aquino and his wife, Lilith, have been under investigation since August 1988, when a 3-year-old girl accused them of molesting her. No one has been tried in the case, but charges against Gary Hambright, a former teacher at the daycare center were filed and dropped twice. It was also reported 60 children were abused at the center, at times during satanic rituals.

Five of the children reportedly contracted sexually transmitted diseases. Lt. James Tuso. commander of county sheriffs detectives, also declined to talk about the possible Aquino connection with ritual child abuse in Mendocino County. He said, "We just don't want to jeopardize the case." Tuso echoed Keplinger's comments on the constitutionality of satanism.

He said freedom of religion was guaranteed, but criminal activity connected to it is "a whole other aspect We won't tolerate criminal activity." Detective Gary Hudson not related to Pam Hudson, a county mental health therapist who works with some of the children from the Jubilation said there've been no specific reports of satanic rituals in Mendocino County. Hudson and Tuso said the sheriffs department has received information on ritual abuse, but not specifically on satanic cults. Hudson, who's received training in identifying ritual abuse, said, "We're not blind to (ritual abuse)." He added there were "a lot" of people "dabbling" in satanism. The confirmation of the intensified investigation comes one month after the bodies of 15 people, including one U.S. citizen, were found buried in a shallow grave in Matamoros, Mexico.

Their deaths were the result of satanic rituals. Santa Rosa girl dies in fall from horse By KEITH MICHAUD Journal Staff Writer FORT BRAGG A 7-year-old Santa Rosa girl was killed Sunday in Fort Bragg when she fell from a horse and either hit her head on the ground or was kicked by the horse. According to a county sheriffs report sent from the Fort Bragg substation to the Ukiah headquarters, Amber Marie Gray, 7, of Santa Rosa was pronounced dead at Mendocino Coast District Hospital just before 2 p.m. Sunday. She had "extensive head injuries and a skull fracture," according to the report.

Lt. James Tuso, commander of sheriffs detectives, said the "tragic accident" occurred while Amber was visiting a friend of the family in Fort Bragg with her mother, Barbara Sue Jones. The friend, Mildred Scranlon, was also taking care of an 18-year- old quarterhorse. Around 1 p.m. Scranton took Amber for a ride.

A black and brown German she- pard jumped out of the bushes as the two were near the intersection of Boise Lane and Pearl Drive south of Fort Bragg. The dog bit the horse and Scranton was unable to keep the horse under control. The horse threw Scranton and Amber to the ground. Both were knocked unconscious. Scranton came to and found Amber unconscious and bleeding from the head.

The woman put the girl on the horse and walked it back to her home where she found Amber's mother. The two women took the girl to Mendocino Coast Hospital in Fort Bragg, where she died from her injuries. Tuso said deputies were unable to find the dog or its owner when they arrived at the scene. The accident comes just three months after another 7-year-old child died in a riding accident. Justin Brooks, 7, of Fort Bragg died Feb.

Faulty brakes and overloaded cargo hoppers were considered possible causes of the crash of the 69-car Southern Pacific freight train, which jumped the tracks at 90 mph Friday on a curve where trains normally slow to 30 mph. Engineer Frank Holland, who survived the crash, had been cited for driving a train too fast on March 31,1986, and for failing to connect brake lines properly between locomotives on Feb. 13, 1988, said James Kolstad, National Transportation Safety Board acting chairman.

Holland was listed as stable with a collapsed lung at St. Bcrnardine Medical Center. Brakeman Allan R. Riess, 42, of Bakersficld, who was killed in the crash, had been cited for failing to take action when an engineer exceeded authorized speed on Oct. 7, Kolstad said Sunday.

The conductor of the runaway Southern Pacific train, E.S. Crown of Bakersfield, who also was killed, had no violations on his record, Kolstad said. "It is not unusual after a number of years on the line for trainmen to have violations on their record," NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiew- icz said today. Investigators today were interviewing crew members and workers who loaded the train cars with sandy sodium carbonate, a mineral used to make potash, in Rosamond, he said. Southern Pacific spokesman Jerry Pera declined comment on the crew safety violations today, saying the NTSB had asked the railroad not to talk about it while the investigation was under way.
