And prices in the bond market, driven lately by inflation to record or near-record lo also recorded a strong advance.

The rallies were fed by talk that Reagan's landslide victory on Nov. 4. and the accompanying shift toward Republican power in Congress, might lead to important policy changes to deal with the country's economic woes. Merrill Lynch. Wall Street's biggest investment firm, called the election "a major turning point in the direction of the nation's government." Skeptics in the financial community are quick to point out that no president could do much about high inflation and sluggish economic growth in the immediate future.

But even some of them acknowledge that they are "optimistic for the long term" as a result of the election A surge of hope in the period between a presidential election and the inauguration the following January is, in fact, not exactly a rare phenomenon in the markets.

And the average reached its record closing high of 1.051.70 on Jan. 11. 1973 alter Richard Nixon won re-election over George McGovern.

To judge by the market's subsequent performance, all the hopes prevailing at those times were not fulfilled.

But the five were found guilty Friday of charges in the first federal case stemming from an indictment that actually accused defendants of membership in La Cosa Nostra. "This destroys the myth that Reporter's Murderer Gets'Death9 TUCSON, Ariz.

AP) John Harvey Adamson, a former race dog breeder convicted of first-degree murder in the bombing death of newspaper reporter Don Bolles. has been sentenced to death in Arizona's gas chamber. Superior Court Judge Ben C. Birdsall passed sentence Friday on Adamson. The government alleged Adamson was paid $10,000 to kill Bolles, an investigative reporter for the Arizona Republic.

Birdsall, who could have sentenced the 36 year-old Adamson to life, said the death penalty was appropriate because Abamson killed for money and in "a cruel, heinous and depraved manner." The death sentence automatically is appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court. the Mafia cannot be prosecuted," said James Henderson, chief of the Justice Department's West Coast Organized Crime Strike Force. "This is the most significant, successful prosecution of organized crime nationwide," Henderson said, adding that convictions would help wipe out the Los Angeles family of La Cosa Nostra. The jurors, who had deliberated for eight days, at one point reported they were deadlocked on some of the charges and appeared confused over the concept of racketeering conspiracy. U.S.

District Judge Terry Hatter urged them to keep going. The racketeering charges were tied to an alleged mob masterpian for extortion of wealthy pornographers. The government lost its bid to link the five defendants to the 1977 killing of Frank "The Bomp" Bompensiero, who was gunned down on a San Diego street. Jury foreman William Wasil, 34, said there were inconsistencies in the testimony of the star prosecution witness, avowed Mafia assassin Aladena "Jimmy the Weasel" Fra-tianno, about the killing. "We viewed Jimmy Fra-tianno's testimony with the greatest of care and doubt," said Wasil.

He said jurors accepted Fratianno's testimony only when it was corroborated by other evidence. At 6 p.m. Friday, the court clerk read the 20 verdicts: Dominic Phillip Brooklier, 66, said to be the boss of the Los Angeles Mafia, was found guilty of racketeering, guilty of conspiracy under Area Resident Indicted In Kentucky-Death Case Luigi Portapuglia. 56. his wife Maria, 52 and his brother Alfredo.

"When people are rich, it's like that," he said. "The rich don't care about the affairs of the poor and the poor don't care about the affairs of the rich." ROME (AP) Like knights to the rescue, police freed an Italian countess held captive for 40 years in a room of her ancestral home, but authorities are still puzzled over why her alleged captors the woman's two brothers and a sister-in-law kept her locked away.

"The people in the village say she went to bed with her father and they locked her up to punish her," Cpl. Antonio Pavone, a police officer in the northern Italian town of Pia-cenza told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. "We don't know if that is a true story. Other people say the family wanted her money. We don't know if that's true either, or even if she had a lot of money." "It's worse than medieval." Pavone said.
