11 WW 'ifiiF wn Sunday, April 10, 1988 News Journal, Mansfield, O. Nation 13-a T'VT'V Sanctions said to hurt Panamanians Hot Highlighting Sale i -in ZOTOS' Professional Perms SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) White House chief of staff Howard Baker conceded Saturday that economic sanctions against Panama have "hurt the people more than they have hurt" strongman Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega. But Baker called the measures "carefully thought out and carefully executed" and said they were unavoidable.

"We grieve for the people of Panama" Baker told reporters. He said, though, that U.S. officials hoped the new economic sanctions announced Friday would further undermine Noriega's bold on power. The chief of staff also acknowledged that a series of economic sanctions taken against Noriega to this point have had little effect on the general. This contradicted Baker's statement of Friday, in which he told reporters he thought the punitive measures by the United States had left the Panamanian strongman a "beleaguered and de facto leader" of the Central American nation.

On Saturday, Baker acknowledged that the sanctions, for the most part, had wreaked havoc with the Panamanian economy. "General Noriega, no doubt, has money squirreled away, who knows where, and, and I doubt very much that we have done much to interrupt his lifestyle or to diminish his assets," the chief of staff said. "And it does hurt the people of Panama, and the people of Panama are the ones that have been hurt for a long time by the authoritarian rule of General Noriega and by his drug trafficking to their detriment," Baker added. "And we regret that. We're extremely concerned about not only the security of the canal and the security of Americans, but also the welfare of the people of Panama.

"But the answer to that is the resumption of constitutional government in that country," he said, "and it is our fervent hope that that will occur soon and occur in a satisfactory way." Whereas a senior administration official early last week suggested that dissident elements in the Panamanian Defense Forces might force Noriega out, Baker indicated Saturday the invocation of emergency economic powers by Reagan might invite the Panamanian people to demonstrate for Noriega's removal. Baker said Reagan's decision to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to further impede the flow of U.S. dollars to Panama would have "far-reaching consequences" and said "the president's hope is that it also will have a convincing effect on the people of Panama and on General Noriega." Noriega has clung to power despite one coup attempt in Panama and increasing political, military and economic pressure from the United States. Baker said he did not put much stock in reports of Marxist intervention on Noriega's behalf but said the situation was being watched closely. 9 WA 1 -VI Donald Trump called 4short fingered vulgarian' You'll Care reel Famous Hair Our New Location 1327 Lexington Ave.

In its first year and a half of existence, Spy has distinguished itself less for its scrupulous attention to accuracy it once printed a letter acknowledging that CBS President Laurence Tisch dwarf millionaire" in Spyspeak) "is not technically, medically a dwarf" than for its biting satire, which has left tooth-prints on the hind quarters of almost every self-important celebrity from Manhattan to Massachusetts and points beyond.

What began with flowers and secret notes during a trial in Camden ended with a six-month prison term and a $46,850 fine for a juror who let herself be wooed by a defendant in a cocaine trial. George Pepe's trial on charges of participating in a northern New Jersey cocaine ring ended in a hung jury on April 3, 1987, when at least one of the jurors held out for acquittal. Five of Pepe's six co-defendants were convicted.

During jury deliberations in his seven-week trial, Pepe left flowers on the car of Patricia Hand, 37, of Millville and called her at home. He was convicted of jury tampering, and all five convictions were tossed out. Mrs. Hand was charged with contempt of court because she disobeyed instructions given by the judge to all jurors to report any contacts from participants in the case. She was described as naive, but not romantically interested in the defendant.
