4A Ths Miami Nnws Monday, August 8, 1988 Farm workers to get emergency U.S. aid U.S. knocks Israel Ivor refusing talks AttaclatadPrau WASHINGTON The Labor Department today unveiled a $14.8 DkuacKHd Pnm million program to help thousands of migrant and seasonal farm workers who have been unable to work because of the drought. "Tho cavern McLaughlin said the Labor Department would marshal funds for "emergency and supportive services" and promised to be flexible and quick In making decisions about spending. McLaughlin said she has authorized migrant worker programs operating under Labor Department grants to use up to 15 percent of their current funding for emergency services such as health care, transportation and temporary shelter.

The agency said if could mean that up to $9.5 million may be spent. She said another $5 million has been set aside from a Job Partnership Training Act reserve account for displaced workers to be used specifically for migrant farm workers hurt by the drought. drought in McLaughlin some parts of the nation has had a devastating effect on migrant farm workers and their families," said Labor Secretary Ann McLaughlin. "Some are stranded without work or money to return home, while others face extreme hardship at their home base." ija i ,11,,,, i -V demolished and 29 nationalists have been deported. "We don't think they're the way to go.

We don't agree with Israel. On that we've had a very frank exchange," said Murphy, who was to fly to Jordan later today. Israel radio said that because of U.S. pressure, Israel agreed to file criminal charges against Faisal Husseini, a Palestinian who on July 31 was ordered jailed for six months without trial. The United States protested Husseini's detention without due process.

Israeli officials claimed Husseini, who advocated dialogue with Israeli officials, was a senior representative of PLO chief Yasser Arafat's outlawed Fatah organization. A draft of a proposed Palestinian "declaration of independence" was found by Israeli police in his Arab Studies Center in Jerusalem and leaked to Israeli newspapers. An Israeli official who demanded anonymity confirmed Murphy and Rabin disagreed on the measures used by Israel in the occupied lands but said the subject was only a minor part of the agenda. JERUSALEM U.S. envoy Richard Murphy criticized Israel today (or failing to establish a dialogue with moderate Palestln- Ians and for the tough measures ised against activists in the occupied territories.

His statements came after a G'i-nour meeting with Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and military officials at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv. "I've discussed America's concern that there is Insufficient Sialogue, shall we say, between srael and the moderate Jans," said Murphy, adding he was not suggesting Israel talk to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Murphy referred to sharp disagreements with Rabin over Israel's handling of Palestinian activists. Since the uprising began Dec. 8 In the occupied West Dank and Gaza Strip, about 2,500 alleged agitators have been Jailed for up to six months without trial, the homes of 84 activists have been U.N.

chief confident of Iran-Iraqi truce Attciitd Pratt BERYL, from 1 A flurry of diplomatic activity that ended a deadlock in nearly two weeks of U.N.-mediated truce talks. "I have informed the Security Council that the two sides agreed with a cease-fire followed by direct talks under my auspices," he said yesterday after a full day of talks with Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati of Iran and Ambassador Ismat Kittani of Iraq. The U.N. chief said it would take about two weeks to deploy the 250 United Nations peacekeeping troops from 24 countries who will monitor the truce along the 730-mile front. Perez de Cuellar's cease-fire announcement was expected this afternoon, when the Security Council convenes to consider the logistics of setting up a $40 million peacekeeping force.

He has said he also expects to announce dates for other provisions of Resolution 598, the ceasefire and peace plan passed by the Security Council a year ago. The plan's provisions include troop withdrawal to international boundaries and repatriation of prisoners taken in the 8-year-old war. UNITED NATIONS Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar said today he foresees no last-minute problems that would interfere with setting a cease-fire in the 8-year-old Iran-Iraq war. "The solution of the problem is now a matter of a few hours," Perez de Cuellar said as he arrived at the United Nations. "I am persuaded that both countries are and both governments are interested in a peaceful solution," he said.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Ali Khamenei, in his first public remarks on the cease-fire, said the coming peace is the product of world opinion directed at Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. Also today, the British Foreign Office said it plans to send a diplomat to Iran for the first time in a year. British-Iranian relations have been improving for six weeks, raising hopes that British subjects held hostage by pro-Iranian factions in Lebanon might soon be freed. Perez de Cuellar's announcement that he would set a cease-fire date today capped a weekend Associated Prtss Dade forecast: Much of the same Partly cloudy skies and scattered afternoon showers are expected to continue over the next several days, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight low temperatures of about 80 are expected tonight and tomorrow's high should be around 90.

The chance of rain tonight is 20 percent and should increase to 40 percent tomorrow. The outlook for Wednesday through Friday calls for partly cloudly skies with scattered thunderstorms each day. The lows are expected to be in the 70s and low 80s, and the highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s, meteorologist Martin Nelson said. High winds and seas were expected to accompany evening thunderstorms. Seas were expected to be 2 to 3 feet, and bay and inland waters were to have a light to moderate chop.

Speedboat injures 24 in Pittsburgh A rescue worker in Pittsburgh attends to an injured child after a speedboat veered out of control and plowed into spectators on a bank of the Allegheny River. Twenty-four people were injured, eight of them critically, by the 1 6-foot boat driven by Robert Wood, 23. of North Peterborough, Ontario Eleven of the injured were children. An investigation into the incident was set to begin today. Henri Frenay, French Resistance leader, dies Issued from Port O'Connor, Texas to the mouth of the Mississippi River and across the Florida Panhandle.

Residents of coastal areas along the northern Gulf of Mexico were advised to monitor weather reports carefully, Melisano said. No evacuation orders have been issued yet, she said. The storm could quickly strengthen if it moves over the Gulf of Mexico, but was considered unlikely to threaten South Florida, hurricane forecasters said. "It's highly unusual for depressions to form over land. Most of the time they get their start way out in the middle of the ocean," said forecaster Jim Gross.

"We don't have a lot of experience with systems that form this way. But if it does move over the ocean it will be picking up moisture from all sides." A tropical storm is upgraded to hurricane status when winds reach 74 mph. Normally there are 10 named storms during the six-month hurricane season that begins June 1. Last year, there were three hurricanes and four tropical storms in the Atlantic. The first depression of this season formed June 2, on the Caribbean coast of Cuba, killing at least seven and causing heavy damage in central and eastern Cuba.

Heavy rains fell in the Bahamas the same day, but there were no injuries and little damage. Tropical storm Alberto, also considered unusual because it formed in the chilly waters near Maine and Canada instead of In the tropics, was the second depression of the season and the first named tropical storm. Alberto was little threat yesterday, although shortly after noon the Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for a stretch of Maine's coast from Bar Harbor to Eastport. Forecasters canceled the warning less than six hours later. Alberto's strongest sustained winds were about 35 mph late AtMdaM Pratt FIRE, from 1 A promoted to lieutenant in 1928 and captain in 1934.

Frenay was a captain when the German army invaded France in May 1940. He was captured June 25, 1940, but escaped and returned to Lyon where he began organizing the Resistance. After the war, the resistance fighter managed a toy company. Frenay was author of "The Night Will End," "Volunteers of the Night" and "The Jean Moulin Riddle." PARIS Henri Frenay, a leader of the French Resistance against Nazi occupation during World War II, has died at age 82, family members said today. During the occupation, Frenay founded the Resistance group Combat and the underground newspaper of the same name.

Born Nov. 19, 1905, in Lyon, he was educated at France's military academy, St. Cyr, was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1926, The family agonized over the decision to put him in a home, but decided there was nothing else they could do, she said. "He was always so strong, and he always wanted his independence, he wanted to take care of himself," she said. "But we had to be realistic about it.

He was in a wheelchair about 99 precent of the time, and we just couldn't give him the care he needed." Death Notices yesterday. The center of the storm was near latitude 46.0 north and longitude 64.0 west, near Prince Edward Island. Canadian authorities had not Issued a warning for their territory, but were "toying with the Idea," said meteorologist Mike Battson of Canada's Atmospheric Environment Service in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "This is a very small storm, and its primary effect will be to maritime Interests over the offshore waters of the New England coast, as well as near Nova Scotia," said hurricane forecaster Miles Lawrence. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Plaisted said" Bailey was walking home with his sister, saw the flames and helped Plantation officers Dean Mirra and Matt Owsi-any break down a door and fight through thick smoke to rescue more than 20 patients. Many of the 23 people who lived there were invalids unable to move on their own, Plaisted said. The three men carried the residents outside, one by one, and lay them on the lawn while paramedics began checking their conditions. "They did a miraculous job," Plaisted said of the three.

"Without their quick action, we could have had a major disaster." Bailey, Mirra and Owsiany were later treated for smoke inhalation at Plantation General Hospital, where they were listed in good condition. The other injured persons were taken to Plantation General, Broward General Medical Center and Humana Hospital Bennett, Plaisted said. Firefighters needed about 20 minutes to bring the fire under control, Plaisted said. There was heavy damage inside, the most severe in the rear, where Sheder's room was, he said. Plaisted said he did not know whether the home was equipped with smoke detectors.

Whiles said her father had been in the home for about six months and that the family lived close enough to visit him frequently. Sheder had spent part of his early adult life in Fort Lauderdale working as an architect, his daughter said. In the 1960s, the family moved to Indianapolis, where Sheder taught architecture at a technical school. Shortly before he retired In the mid-1970s, Sheder lost sight in one of his eyes. He moved with his family back to Fort Lauderdale, but then suffered three strokes that left him nearly incapacitated, Whiles said.

CBS could move its programs almost immediately without owning WCIX under a standard affiliation agreement, though it is unlikely to do so, lest it seem that it is presuming how the FCC will act on the sale.

Because of WCIX's inability to reach homes without cable in much of Broward County, CBS would align with WCIX only because it owned the station. It was this signal shortfall that led most observers, including Ansin. to conclude that CBS was only running a bluff in negotiating with WCIX. CBS marketing Vice President David Poltrack said recently that his network is getting such a good doal it is believed that the WCIX purchase price will be only about one-fourth the $270 million GE paid for WTVJ that It could afford to sustain losses at the station level by WCIX because it reaches about 25 percent fewer homes than Its main competitors, channels 4 and 10. WCIX, officially licensed to South Dade, cannot turn up its power to cover all of Broward because it could interfere with a Channel 6 In Orlando.

Another reason CBS Is willing to delay the consummation of Its relationship with WCIX Is that it will take time to assemble an affiliate-sized news staff. Conversely, WSVN almost certainly will downsize its news department in preparation for life in the less lucrative world of independent television. WSVN news director Joel Chea-twood is out of town and could not be reached, according to the woman who answered the phone In the news department. At the same time WSVN Is iettisoning news people, it will tave to scramble to find programming. Instead of having almost two-thirds of its day filled by a network, Channel 7 will be entirely on Its own as of Jan.

2. Miami News reporter Lore Crogh-an contributed to this report. Beach, bought WCIX and four other stations from Taft Broadcasting Co. last year. Matti Prima, managing partner at Henry Ansbacher a New York Investment house, said the WCIX deal is "part of (CBS') game plan to expand and grow the core business by and large its a better than average price." The initial reaction from WSVN.

currently the NBC affiliate, was muted. CBS and WSVN had been negotiating for network affiliation but the network instead chose to buy WCIX, the Independent. "We're a very strong station," Charlie Folds, director of community and public relations at WSVN-Channel 7. "Our strength -is in our people and in our service to the community. That will not change.

I've been here 30 years and I'm not going anywhere. Channel 7 owner Ed Ansin was unavailable for comment. Before CBS can take over WCIX, It must obtain Federal Communications Commission approval. This usually takes three to six months. In this instance, the process could take much longer.

Ansin risks having his station reduced to an Independent reducing its value by as much as $100 million, according to Wall Street analysts. He has indicated he will use any available means to block the sale. He now has an antitrust suit pending against NBC and CBS as a result of GE's purchase of WTVJ-Channel 4. As late as Thursday, when it became apparent that CBS was on the verge of announcing a deal for Channel 6, Ansin maintained, "We will he an affiliate of either NBC or CBS on Jan. 2," the day after his current NBC contract expires.

Bob Wright, chief executive officer of NBC, said Saturday that he expects the Miami situation "to get messy," but is confident the networks are on solid legal ground. "There are 500 stations around the country making money as Independents. What Mr. Ansin is in effect saying Is that he is better than those 500 station operators.

Riding in his car was Foreign Minister Guillermo Bedregal of Bolivia and U.S. Embassy charge d'affaires David Greenley.

A police escort accompanied the motorcade. The secretary of state had been scheduled to go the Sheraton Hotel in La Paz but instead was rushed to the U.S. Embassy. Shultz has been secretary of state since 1982. He has traveled widely abroad during that time, but has never been attacked.

In La Paz, Shultz was expected to praise the government's efforts In fighting cocaine production and smuggling.
