8 -SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1987 UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL. Nation Jackson drums up support BATON ROUGE, La. i Jesse Jackson said Saturday that he could carry the strength of 7 million to 10 million presidential primary votes with him to next year's Democratic National Convention if supporters join him in building a "New South crusade." "None of those who are running now. whose names you do not know, will get 7 million votes." said the black leader. "I can get 7 to 10 million votes, and we're not talking about spending $20 million." At a breakfast meeting attended by supporters from throughout the South, he said, however, that he would not let the news media pressure him into making a formal announcement of his candidacy.

"We cannot let anyone put us on a conveyor belt and speed us up or slow us down," he said. Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards spoke in support of Jackson at the meeting, held to organize backing before 1988's Super Tuesday Southern primaries on March 8. Jackson also said that in the 1988 election, he could collect more black votes than the 10.6 million Walter Mondale had in 1984. Slow growth for nuclear plants WASHINGTON (AP) The number of nuclear plants producing electricity is expected to rise well above 400 worldwide this year, but analysts say financial troubles and the memory of the Chernobyl accident will slow future growth.

The United States, which is expected to have 110 nuclear plants by the end of 1987, now gets less than 17 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. But the proportion probably will rise to 20 percent the level in other industrial countries by the end of the century, said Don Winston, a spokesman for the Atomic Industrial Forum. The forum is an international organization of industries, labor groups and government agencies involved in using nuclear power for peaceful purposes. "It's a little-known trend, but there's a new reactor licensed in this country about every eight weeks," Winston said. Outside the United States, the total number of operable reactors rose to 285 last year from 272 in 1985, said Winston, who expects the number to rise beyond 300 in 1987.

Last year, with the opening of plants in Bangladesh and Morocco, the number of countries with "firm nuclear electricity programs" rose to 41, Winston said. The reason for the slow growth worldwide is financial, the spokesman said. "There was a lot of 'soft' planning, especially in Latin America," Winston said. "Now they can't afford it, and other Third World countries are also in trouble. Turkey is doubtful, too He cited Mexico and Venezuela as among the governments that have changed their minds about new plants.

Michael Mariotte, executive director of the Nuclear Information and Research Service and an opponent of nuclear power, believes the concern about the accident in Chernobyl is also a factor "You'll see the new plants declining to about live a year and around the year 2000 a lot will be going out of commission." he predicted Cranston: Amnesty law could break up families LOS ANGELES (AP) Sen. Alan Cranston on Saturday urged immigration officials running the new amnesty program to refrain from breaking up families by deporting relatives of illegal aliens who apply for U.S. residency. Cranston said he and other legislators, including Democratic Rep. Edward Roybal, plan to meet next week with Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner Alan Nelson to discuss the issue.

The lawmakers say they are concerned that when an illegal alien applies for resident status under the new law, family members who don't qualify for the amnesty could be deported. Cranston urged INS officials to use compassion in such cases, and said he would introduce a non-binding resolution to that effect in the Senate on Tuesday. Reagan wants ethics laws review WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan insists his administration is no "den of thieves," but admits there have been circumstances that required the departure of some of his ad- viscrs. Reagan, in remarks published in the May 25th edition of U.S. News World Report, acknowledged "there have been a couple of cases that warranted (people) leaving government service." "But I think we have got as fine a cabinet as has ever been appointed by any Suddenly, are we somehow a den of thieves here? No, we're not.

And I think we've got a very high moral limit." Reagan made his remarks in an interview this past week with reporters from U.S. News, Time and Newsweek. FBI hostage-taker killed PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A man who was shot and killed while holding five FBI agents at gunpoint in the FBI's headquarters in downtown Portland had been upset over a medical problem, his mother said. "The doctor said he couldn't do anything for him," Evelyn Peregoy said, but would not elaborate.

Stanley William Peregoy, 41, took one agent hostage at gunpoint at the entrance to the headquarters about 9:50 a.m. Friday, then held hostage four other agents inside the office, the Charles Mathews, assistant special agent in charge of the Portland FBI office, said Peregoy was shot by two other agents when the gunman "displayed immediate life-threatening actions directed at a specific agent." He would not elaborate. Assailed affirmative action decision Civil rights panel rejects report Reagan reads promotion for radio station WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights bucked its chairman and its staff by rejecting a report that criticized the Supreme Court in an affirmative action case. The commission's 5-3 vote Friday to reject the staff report also put a crack in the conservative cast it had assumed in recent years with the addition of several Reagan administration appointees.

The staff report assailed a high court decision upholding job reference for women in af- irmative action plans. The report had the support of chairman Clarence M. Pendleton vice chairman Murray Friedman and William Allen, all appointed by President Reagan. In a 6-3 ruling on March 25, the court permitted the Santa Clara County, Transportation Agency to promote a woman, Diane Joyce, over a white man, Paul E. Johnson, who had scored slightly higher in a competitive interview.

The decision, which has implications for minorities as well as for women, said that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 employers need not admit past discrimination in order to adopt an affirmative action plan to overcome "a conspicuous imbalance in traditionally segregated job categories." Commissioners Mary Frances Berry, Francis S. Guess and Blandina Cardenas Ramirez endorsed the Johnson decision, saying in a joint statement that it "gives careful approval to much needed voluntary efforts to improve the employment status of women in a gradual way." the staff report by Robert A. Destro and Esther G. Buckley. Destro said although he saw pro- possibly arising from the Johnson decision, he believed adopting the staff report unchanged would give the impression that the commission believes "somehow that getting rid of sex discrimination is not real important." The eight-member commission, split equally between congressional and presidential appointees, has been dominated by a conservative majority since 1983.

It has faced budget cuts and attempts by House liberals to replace it with a congressional agency. The 30-year-old commission's charter is to review the performance of federal agencies and recommend new laws. Allen argued that affirmative action plans, by sanctioning discrimination to correct statistical imbalances in the workforce, are "an enormous evil in this society." Pendleton said the decision, by removing evidence of discrimination as a condition of preferential promotions, could allow employers to fend of legitimate individual claims of bias by enacting an affirmative action plan based on statistical balance. NASHVILLE (AP) The news director of WSM-AM radio says he doesn't understand the fuss over one of his reporters asking President Reagan to read a promotional statement for the station. Jerry Dahman, of WSM-AM in Nashville, says he's been fielding questions from across the country about the incident Friday, in which reporter Liz White pleaded for the favor during a 20-minute White House news conference dominated by questions on the Iran-Contra affair.

Reagan agreed to read the slogan after Ms. White told him, "My general manager said I can't come home unless you read this aloud." The White House later called the station to ask that it not use the tape as a promotion. "We called the news director at the station and explained our said White House deputy press secretary Albert R. Brashear. "We asked them to please not use the tape in a promotional capacity." Dahman said the station already has run the president's statements as part of its newscasts, but hasn't decided whether it will be used later as a promotion.

Brashear said he did not know whether it was legal to make use of such material, but added: "It is our opinion that we cannot allow anyone to use anything the president says or does in a commercial, promotional capacity for obvious reasons: It's unfair to everyone else. Everyone wants the president's endorsement." The query, which came during a question-and-answer session with 66 Southern journalists, appeared to perplex Reagan initially. "Please," Ms. White begged, prompting groans and laughter from the audience as Reagan attempted to read the promotional statement. After a chuckle and a pause, Reagan boomed out: "I'm Ronald Reagan.

Whenever I'm in Nashville, I listen to radio 650, WSM, the blowtorch of the South." They were joined in rejecting "I think employers love this decision, "he said. Berry, however, said the staff report misstated the facts of the'S case to support its argument. It said, for instance, that a woman was promoted over a better qualified male applicant, the court found the difference qualifications to be only" minimal, she said.

When you look through the viewfinder, you observe the scene at full aperture with minimum depth of field. You don't see the near or far things you might like to eliminate from your picture.
