The only senators voting against the measure were Pack-wood, Alan Simpson, Jesse Helms, Arlen Specter, John Danforth, and one Democrat: Dennis DeConcini of Arizona. The Senate Ethics Committee wants the documents to pursue accusations that Packwood, throughout his Senate tenure, kissed, pawed, disrobed and approached women inappropriately. Packwood was not on the floor of the Senate when Byrd called on him to resign. But during the two days of debate, he repeatedly pleaded with his colleagues not to compel him to turn over his diaries.

Just before the vote, Robert Byrd, president pro tempore, called on Packwood to resign for having sullied the reputation of what members like to call "the world's greatest deliberative body." "None of us is pure or without flaw," said Byrd. "But when those flaws damage the institution of the Senate, it is time to have the grace to go!"

It is unrelated to a recently passed $36 annual user fee by Bossier Parish residents outside the city limits. "I don't think it should be raised," said 35-year-old Bossier City resident Robert McClain Jr. "It's high enough. I say no." While the council gave a preliminary vote on the ordinances to raise rates, they postponed matters related to the city's proposed 1994 budget until the newly elected council takes office in late November or early December. The proposed budget reflects the increased rates.

By GARY HINES The Times James Wood, the former Shreveporter who has admitted to an unsolved 17-year-old murder here, has also confessed to murdering an 11-year-old Pocatello, Idaho, girl and raping two teen-agers in the same city. The Caddo Parish Sheriffs Department decided Tuesday to send two investigators to Idaho to interview Wood and try to link him to the murder case here. "We are going send two investigators, probably by the end of this week, to interview the suspect and determine if there is enough to make a case," said Chief Deputy Sheriff Milton Almond. Almond said deputies want to bring the district attorney's office more evidence than a confession in the case of Shirley Coleman, who disappeared while shopping on Christmas Eve 1976. There is no physical evidence linking him to the crime.

Wood was being questioned about the murder of the 11-year-old Idaho girl who disappeared while collecting money on her newspaper route when he allegedly admitted he raped and murdered Coleman after abducting her from a Greenwood Road shopping center. Pocatello authorities said Wood has also admitted shooting a woman and robbing a gas station in Missouri.

By KELLY GRIFFITH The Times Water bills in Bossier City will go up about $5 a month if the City Council gives final approval to a 10 percent rate increase and a $2 ambulance fee hike.

On Tuesday, the council voted 5-1 in favor of both in a preliminary vote. Out YOUR P0CKETB00K going councilman Bo Mcllwain cast the only dissenting vote. A final vote will be Nov. 16. City officials say the 10 percent rate increase is needed to help cover rising costs in the sewer and water systems.

This year, 11 sewer cave-ins have cost the city more than $450,000 in emergency repairs alone. Requirements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for increased personnel at the city's sewer treatment plant have also contributed to the costs of the the city's plumbing in recent years. "Holy cow. It's like having a house with 60-year-old plumbing," said Utilities Director Mark Hudson.

"Our backs are against the wall right now. If we don't get the increase, I'm going to be in a crisis situation in another year or two."

The announcement that Haynes had won the first-ever award came shortly after he saved the life of Smith's son, Chad. The 14-year-old had been in a fall that caused internal injuries, but left; no visible scars.

"(Haynes) immediately took charge of the situation and had the whole hospital jumping," she said. "When they airlifted him to the trauma center, the doctors there said that if it hadn't been for the quick attention Chad got, he would have died." The National Country Doctor Museum in Bailey, N.C., and Staff Care, a temporary physician staffing company based in Texas, sponsored the Country Doctor of the Year award.

Thousands of residents forced from By MICHAEL WHITE The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Fierce winds sent a wildfire barreling down mountain canyons into Malibu on Tuesday, destroying at least 30 homes and forcing thousands to flee. Nine people were injured, including a director who was badly burned while trying to save a cat.

Other new fires roared across thousands of acres of brittle brushland, just days after firefighters contained wildfires that burned out of control last week in Southern California. The fire leaped from canyon to canyon in its 12-mile march southwest, producing a string of evacuations. Tuesday's largest fire burned 13,000 acres from the wealthy Santa Monica Mountains to the beaches of Malibu. Thousands of that was visible 60 miles east. It forced schools and Pepperdine University to cancel classes and move students to shelters.

At least 30 homes were bumed, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Michael Freeman said. A wind-whipped wildfire caused by an arcing power fine chased more than 500 residents from communities in Riverside County, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. The blaze destroyed several homes and injured three Riverside County fire spokeswoman Teresa Merrill said. The fires erupted as hot, dry Santa Ana desert winds of up to 53 mph returned to Southern California, frustrating efforts to control 13 blazes that torched thousands of acres and hundreds of homes last week, in Altadena and Laguna Beach. President Clinton ordered James Lee Witt, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to return to Southern California to assess damage and organize relief efforts.
