Nr Poopl Compiled from Times wire services Singer Fogerty fights lawsuit SAN FRANCISCO A federal courtroom rocked to Creedenee Clearwater Revival records Wednesday as lawyers for former lead singer John Fogerty tried to show that a song from his 1985 comeback album wasn't stolen from another Fogerty hit. Fantasy Records, which recorded Creedenee, has filed suit essentially accusing Fogerty of plagiarizing himself. The suit against Fogerty and his current recording company Warner Bros. Records contends "Old Man Down the Road," a single from Fogerty's solo "Centerfield" album, copied the melody from "Run Through the Jungle," which Fogerty wrote and sang for Creedenee in 1970 and to which Fantasy now owns the rights. Relations between Fogerty and his former recording company have been bitter since Creedenee disbanded in 1972.

Fogerty had to change the title of one song in "Centerfield" after Sauk Zaentz, owner of Fantasy Records, said he was being libeled. In the current case, the two songs are similar in tune and structure, as lawyers for Fantasy demonstrated earlier this week in testimony by musicologists equipped with charts, a piano and a computer sound system that superimposed one pattern of notes on another. A defense musicologist for Warner Bros, guided the U.S. District Court jurors through a series of Creedenee records "Green River," "Keep on Chooglin'," "Tombstone Shadow" and "Bootleg" with his own series of elaborate charts pointing out similarities to "Run Through the Jungle" and "Old Man Down the Road." Fogerty testified briefly Monday and is scheduled to appear again Friday. In pretrial statements read into the record Wednesday by lawyers for Fantasy, Fogerty said several of his songs, including the two involved in the case, used "similar phrasing." But he added in the statement, "As far as I'm concerned, the two songs are totally different."

In the nation Prosecutors debate Marcos bail NEW YORK (AP) Bail for Imelda Marcos must be set quickly to ensure that she and her husband do not try to flee the country, a federal prosecutor says.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles LaBella argued Thursday that the wife of the former Philippines president, Ferdinand Marcos, be brought to New York for arraignment on racketeering charges. LaBella made his pitch when U.S. District Judge John F. Keenan agreed to delay her husband's arraignment after defense lawyers presented letters from three doctors saying Marcos was too ill to travel the 5,000 miles from the couple's Hawaii home.

In a related development, a newspaper reported today that federal agents have obtained an arrest warrant for Saudian Arabian financier Adnan Khashoggi. Khashoggi, who was indicted last week on racketeering charges along with the Marcoses, is accused of acting as a front for Marcos to help divert assets and hide Marcos' ownership of real estate and valuable art. Attorney: Flynt checks were joke LOS ANGELES (AP) A $1 million check written by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, purportedly for the contract murders of singer Frank Sinatra and three publishers, was really just a practical joke, Flynt's lawyer says. "The allegations are totally unfounded," Flynt's attorney, Alan Isaacman, said Thursday. "Back in November 1983 Larry Flynt had a dinner party and gave out, as a joke, million-dollar checks to about half a dozen people." But Los Angeles County Sheriff Sherman Block said he was taking the matter seriously.

Authorities allege Flynt wrote the check on Nov. 14, 1983 to Mitchel L. WerBell for the slaying of Sinatra, Playboy Publisher Hugh M. Hefner, Penthouse Publisher Robert Guccione, and former TV Guide Publisher and U.S. Ambassador Walter Annenberg.

FAA orders 737s inspected WASHINGTON (AP) Federal Aviation Administration officials are assuring the public that their new requirements for rivet replacements and inspections on aging Boeing 737s do not mean the jets are unsafe. The agency on Thursday stepped up its efforts to detect existing cracks and prevent new ones on the aircraft. The FAA tightened a schedule it had imposed earlier for the replacement of 7,200 rivets on the 291 oldest 737s, including about 100 flown by American carriers. It also ordered airlines to conduct electronic inspections of the fasteners and to fly each aircraft at low altitudes until it has been examined. "These precautions are over and above those we feel are needed to maintain safety," said Anthony Broderick, the FAA's associate administrator.

Soviet budget calls for reform MOSCOW (AP) The government would scrap much of its central economic planning, close inefficient state-run businesses and encourage a more consumer-oriented economy under a proposed $804 billion budget. The 1989 spending plan the government unveiled Thursday bears the marks of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev's program of radical economic reform. It also runs a $58 billion deficit.

The Supreme Soviet, the national legislature considering the spending plan, was told Thursday that reform was needed because of cramped housing, food rotting en route to stores and new equipment unused on factory floors.
