Lansbury, 59, said in the May issue of McCall's magazine, released Monday, that she was playing middle-aged women through much of her film career, which she started as a teen-ager in the 1940s. "When I was in my 20s, I was in makeup to play beastly women in their 40s and 50s," she said. "Except for an occasional good film like 'State of the I was in a succession of stinkers." Lansbury won a Tony for her part in Broadway's "Sweeney Todd" in 1979.

Her television series, "Murder, She Wrote," has been renewed for next season. United States Tomorrow's forecast RADNOR, Pa. Television reporters played a key role in heightening Americans' awareness of the Vietnam War, but they were hindered in doing in-depth reporting by the need to get action shots, says journalist David Halberstam. Writing in the April 20 issue of TV Guide, Halberstam, who covered the war for The New York Times in the early 1960s, said the Vietnam conflict "was America's first television war, shown in vivid color He said print journalists were in "awe" of the bravery of television reporters, who had to be on the scene at almost every battle. Television served a useful purpose for Americans at home because it "gave us a heightened sense of the moment." But the axiom that "a relatively weak story with good film will always beat out a relatively good story with weak film" held true during the war, said Halberstam, and the networks' competition for the best battle scenes prevented television reporters from doing complicated pieces.

LONDON Wham! guitarist Andrew Ridgeley says he's not eager to return to China despite the warm reception the group got on its two-concert visit. Arriving Monday at Gatwick Airport, Ridgeley, 22, was mobbed by about 50 teen-age girls and reporters who wanted to know if he'd enjoyed the tour. "Not desperately," he answered. "I am not in a huge hurry to get back there. I like the people, but there were a few problems.

It was a bit heavy at times." Ridgely declined to elaborate. But last Monday, as the group flew from Peking to anton for their second appearance, a Portuguese trumpeter with their backup band went berserk, stabbed himself in the stomach with a pen knife and rushed into the cockpit, forcing the plane into a brief nosedive before it returned to Peking. The man was not seriously injured. Associated Press Rain was widespread across the nation today after heavy thunderstorms and tornadoes pushed through Louisiana and Alabama.

NEWYORK-Writer and directorWoody Allen calls girlfriend MiaFarrow the star ofhis latest movie "The Purple Rose of Cairo" "a thoroughly professional actress." But Farrow is not so sure. Tve been very lucky in my career," she said in the May issue of McCall's magazine, released Monday. "Probably not very good, but very lucky." The two spoke about their work and their relationship they are happily involved," Farrow said in separate interviews.

Allen's was his first magazine interview in years, McCall's said. LOS ANGELES Leonard Goldberg, who produced some of ABC's most popular programs, including "Charlie's Angels" and "Hart to Hart," after he left the network in 1969, said he and the network might work together again some day but not just now. Goldberg said Monday that he turned down an offer to rejoin the third-place network and try to rescue its floundering programming schedule. He said his relations with the network were still good. "I hope that in the future, the situation (for contract talks with ABC) will be better," he added.

Goldberg, 51, formed a partnership with Aaron Spelling when he left ABC, and they produced "Charlie's Angels," "Hart to Hart," and all purchased by the network.

(AP) Authorities have been frustrated in sol ving the slayings of 1 1 red-haired women in six states because the victims were mostly prostitutes or hitchhikers whose absence wasn't noted, an investigator said. And few of the women found slain along highways since September have been identified, making the job of finding their killer or killers even more difficult. The latest body was discovered Saturday in eastern Tennessee. In most cases, the women were dumped along interstate highways from Pennsylvania to Texas. A 12th woman slain in southern Kentucky also may be linked to the killings, authorities said.

Navy finds missing matzohs WASHINGTON (AP) Thelma Goldfinger says there is a lesson in the story of her missing matzoh shipment: think small when trying to send packages halfway around the world. For now, Goldfinger says, she is thrilled "with a capital T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D" because the Navy finally located the three refrigerator-sized boxes of matzoh and other traditional Passover foods that she shipped to her sailor son in the Indian Ocean more than two months ago. As Passover began on April 5, Goldfinger had been worried that the packages had been lost and would not reach her son, Lt. Jeffrey Goldfinger, in time for holiday observances. But on Monday, Navy officials said the boxes had been delivered Saturday to Goldfinger's ship, the USS Carl Vinson.

Thus ended the journey of 120 pounds of matzoh, ge-filte fish, macaroons and cookies. Boy survives knife wound in head SAN DIEGO (AP) The mother of a 2-year-old boy did the right thing when she left a 4V2-inch kitchen knife sticking in the child's head while rushing him to the hospital after an accident at home, a hospital spokesman said. The knife entered above Daniel Williams' right eye and penetrated about two inches when he fell from a kitchen stool Monday morning, said police spokesman Bill Robinson. The boy's mother, Valerie Williams, was in the room at the time but had her back turned, he said. Williams took Daniel to the hospital with the knife still sticking out ofhis head, which a hospital spokesman said was the right thing to do.

"It's like removing your thumb from a dike," Vince Bond, a spokesman for Children's Hospital said Monday. "I'm sure it was a rather gruesome sight. But the correct thing was done and that was that the knife was left alone," he said. "That's one lucky little boy very lucky," Bond said. "The blade did not penetrate the eye or the brain." Eastern machinists reject contract MIAMI (AP) Eastern Airlines machinists have unexpectedly turned down a 3-year contract after a heavy lobbying effort by dissidents, a union leader said today.

"Well have to go back and reevaluate our position," said Charles Bryan, president of the International Association of Machinists, District 100. He had favored the contract, and predicted its approval prior to the vote. Last week, creditors extended an April 15 deadline to May 15 for the Miami-based airline to reach contract agreements with its three labor unions. The deadline was set by a group of creditors trying to keep Eastern out of default on $2.5 billion in loans and leasing agreements. The approximately 5,000 members of Eastern's flight attendants union voted nearly 5-1 Friday against a concessionary contract that had been tentatively approved earlier.

The contract would have called for work rule concessions. Former sheriff gets 10 years LAKE PROVIDENCE, La. (AP) A former sheriff has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for plotting to kill the man who defeated him in the 1983 sheriffs race. State District Judge Charles Brackin on Monday sentenced former East Carroll Parish Sheriff Johnny Lee Bridges, who pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. "This is an extremely difficult matter for this court," Brackin told him.

"I have known you since I have been in this parish. I don't think I will ever have to face another task as difficult as this." But the judge said he had to consider the possible end result of the crime the death of another person and said he did not want anyone to get the impression that status in the community could affect a sentence. A state court jury had convicted his former deputy, Jacky Travis, on the same charge. Travis will be sentenced Thursday. Prosecutors said the two conspired to kill Dale Rinicker in June 1984 two days before Rinicker was to take office as sheriff by directing Jesse James Caston of Lake Providence to go to Rinicker'g home and shoot him.

Buckingham Palace said in a terse statement Monday night that the report first revealed by the Daily Mirror on Monday was a total surprise to the 40-year-old wife of Queen Elizabeth H's first cousin. But the London tabloid said today it was unbelievable that the princess had never known the truth about her father until now.

She was born in Carlsbad, Bohemia, now II. Her parents moved to Austria, and later divorced. She was raised in Australia. Qn Minnesota University officials mum on suit MINNEAPOLIS (AP) University of Minnesota offi-cials are refusing comment on a lawsuit filed by 14 faculty members who charge university regents violated established hiring procedures when they appointed Kenneth Keller president. Pat Kaszuba, a university spokeswoman, said officials would have no comment until lawyers for the institution can study the lawsuit.

The suit was filed Monday in the court of U.S. District Judge Miles Lord on behalf of women faculty members and female applicants for faculty positions, a group of professors told reporters at a news conference. According to the suit, the university violated a 1980 consent decree establishing hiring practices. The faculty members, most of whom are women, are seeking the reversal of Keller's appointment by the Board of Regents and are asking Lord to oversee a new presidential search, the suit says. Teachers named shuttle candidates ST.

PAUL (AP) A Wanamingo physics teacher and a chemistry teacher from Apple Valley have been selected as Minnesota's candidates to fly in the space shuttle. The Minnesota candidates chosen Monday by state Education Commissioner Ruth Randall are Steve Brehmer, 33, a physics teachers at Wanamingo High School in southeastern Minnesota, and Katherine Koch-Laveen, 37, a former girls' basketball, golf and track coach who now teaches in suburban Apple Valley. John Koser, 43, a physics and astronomy teacher at Wayzata High School, was named as an alternate. Correction Clarification A headline on a story on page 1C Monday reporting the results of a Times Poll question on the goal of increased minority recruitment efforts at St. Cloud State University could have been mistakenly interpreted.

The poll results found 35 percent in favor of the goal, 21 percent opposed and 40 percent had no opinion. The Zoning Board of Appeals will meet at 7 tonight at St. Cloud City Hall in the council chambers. The meeting time was incorrect in the Bulletin board in Monday's Times on page 8B..
