FLORIDA The Orlando Sentinel. Tuesday, January 31 1 984 B-3 Legislator wants to bar homosexual blood givers Court upholds conviction of Bundy witness FRQM SENTINEL SERVICES ASSOCIATED PRESS playing "Russian roulette every time you receive blood." The 1984 Legislature convenes April 3. The measure would require blood donors to sign sworn statements indicating they are not in a high-risk category for AIDS before they could donate blood. Under the bill, lying in the sworn statement would be punishable by up to a year in jail. Reaction to Woodruff's proposal has been mixed.

"Mr. Wood Woodruff TALLAHASSEE People with a high risk of having AIDS should be barred from donating blood in Florida, a state legislator has said. "My reason is not to discriminate against anybody or any groups," said Rep. Tom Woodruff, R-St. Petersburg.

"It's simply to keep innocent people who need blood from getting a deadly disease." AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is an often-fatal disease believed to spread through body fluids in sexual contact, intravenous injections and blood tranfusions. Woodruffs bill, which has been filed, singles out homosexuals, Haitians and drug abusers. As of Jan. 16, 215 AIDS cases had been reported in Florida, according to the U.S. Public Health Service.

Florida trails New York and California in the number of reported cases, the agency said. Of all AIDS cases reported in the nation as of September, 71 percent were homosexual or bisexual men, 17 percent were drug users and 1 percent were hemophiliacs, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. Woodruff said passage of his legislation is necessary to avoid ASSOCIATED PRESS ruff is here to carry the mantle of the whole Anita Bryant movement. He's just adding fuel to the fire of discrimination against homosexuals," said gay-rights activist Bob Kunst of Gainesville. Tom Donia, spokesman for the South Florida Blood Service, the largest private blood bank in Florida, said: "My first reaction is that it (the bill) is unenforceable.

Beyond that, it's not in the best interest of Florida." The Red Cross, private blood banks and hospitals use federal guidelines to screen potential donors to determine whether they are in a high-risk category.

Computers help to save troubled lakes TALLAHASSEE A three-juiflge panel Monday upheld a defense witness' conviction on per-jujy charges stemming from testimony relating to Theodore Bundy's second murder trial in Florida. In a 3 to 0 ruling, the 1st District Court of Appeal rejected a claim by Milton Kline that his statements about the degrees he held were immaterial to Bundy's 1980 trial in Orlando. Kline testified as a defense witness at Bundy's trial for the 1978 rape and slaying of 12-year-old Knberly Leach of Lake City.

He claimed to hold a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Kline later admitted this was not true and pleaded no contest to a perjury charge. Kline was sentenced to one year in prison and five years of probation, and he was fined $5,000. He has been out on bond. Bundy was convicted of murdering the Leach girl and sentenced to death in the electric chair.

He also received death sentences for killing two women at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Appeals in both cases are pending before the Florida Supreme Court. Victor Africano, a lawyer for Bundy and Kline, said he was "fairly confident" Kline would seek a rehearing and, if that is denied, appeal to the Florida Supreme Court. But the appeal court said Monday that a lie is "material if it has the mere potential to affect the resolution of the issue before the tribunal." "Misrepresentations which tend to bolster the credibility of a witness, whether successful or not, are regarded as material for purposes of supporting a perjury conviction," wrote District Judge Larry Smith, citing a 1927 Florida Supreme Court ruling. ASSOCIATED PRESS Refugees stage hunger strike ASSOCIATED PRESS Environmentalists say a computerized data bank should now help environmental officials decide which lakes should be restored first.

The lake data bank includes information from 20 surveys and studies, including a university survey of 30 urban lakes. It also has a chemical and biological analysis of 573 lakes and data from 10,000 individual water samples from 788 lakes. A university project report includes a rundown on potential problem lakes, identified by numerically measuring their biological and chemical health. Runoff from urban development and agriculture is a common contributor to lake problems, Huber said. The study found 5 of the 10 most troubled lakes near farms in Polk County Lakes Banana, Effie, Lulu, Hancock and Scott.

Three of the other five were near farms in other counties Weston and Apopka in Orange County and Beauclair in Lake County. The others are Maggiore in Pinellas County and Munson in Leon County, both affected by urban runoff. Five Florida lakes are covered completely by plants, which can make them uninhabitable for fish, according to the study. They are Padgett in Pasco County, Oklawaha in Marion County, The Deadening Lakes in Washington County and Cow Pen Pond and Bateau Pond in Jackson County. GAINESVILLE Some of Florida's 7,318 lakes are in trouble.

And environmentalists are using computers to decide how best to save the lakes University of Florida scientists have said need help. They also completed The Gazetteer of Florida Lakes, which gives the name, size, location and other information about every Florida lake. Scientists have gathered "nearly 10,000 facts on everything from the number of fish killed in particular lakes to the degree that lakes are covered with plants," Dr. Wayne Huber, a university environmental engineering sciences professor, said Monday. He conducted the study along with Patrick Brezonik, James Heaney and Robert Dickinson.

The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation and the university financed the $86,000 project so Florida could get federal assistance under the 1972 Water Pollution Control Act. To qualify for restoration money, a state must classify its lakes and give each a priority. Huber and Dickinson evaluated lakes to determine the extent of their eutrophication, a state in which lakes become rich in plant minerals but lack oxygen necessary for fish. But they decided the task was impossible without more specific data on all lakes. said.

As of Friday, there were 434 inmates at the camp, 157 of them Haitians, Waldroup said. Most of the protesters are Haitians, Waldroup said, but some refugees from India, Bangladesh and Latin America also are refusing food. The Public Health Service is monitoring the hunger strike, but there are no serious problems, Waldroup said. There have been other hunger strikes at the camp. The last one, involving seven Haitians, ended Oct.

MIAMI More than 100 refugees at an immigration detention camp have begun a hunger strike to protest what they consider foot-dragging on their cases by the U.S. government, officials said Monday. Some inmates at the Krome North Processing Center began refusing meals last Tuesday, said George Waldroup, a spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Bob Graham formed to fight Proposition 1. The announcement came Monday near the end of Graham's speech at the Council of 100's annual economic seminar in Tampa.

Graham told the business leaders the state's strong economic performance in 1983 promised an even better year in 1984. Graham's remarks about the state's economy were tempered with a warning that Proposition 1 could have a "throttling effect on government first and on our overall economy shortly thereafter." Proposition 1 is on the November ballot as a proposed constitutional amendment. If approved, it would force state and local governments in 1985 to return to 1980 revenue levels partially adjusted for inflation. Property tax revenue received from new construction is exempt from the rollback. Graham formed the bipartisan organization late last year.

Daniel is a former member of the Council of 100 and was publisher of The Florida Times-Union. He win head an organization expected to raise at least $2 million to fight Proposition 1.
