Business Finance-10 By VICKIE CHACHERE Tribune Staff Writer PINELLAS PARK Glenn Moore teetered atop the unstable pile of rubble where his wife Terry died. There was something he had to find Sunday. "Her wedding ring and everything else is in there," a tearful Moore said as he poked through the huge mound of debris and scattered possessions that represented the life they built together.

Less than a mile away, neighbors stood sadly outside the gray house where Sambecca Shotts, 34, died. Shotts never hesitated to help a neighbor, they remembered. But when her neighbors rushed to her aid, there wasn't anything they could do. And Mary Rickey, 72, was sitting in her easy chair talking to her husband, John, in their Largo mobile home Saturday when the house was tilted abruptly and blown off its foundation. "The only way out was up," John Rickey said from his hospital bed Sunday.

And so, unable to free his wife, up he climbed. Three families. Three women. Three victims of a string of tornadoes that tossed mobile homes about as easily and randomly as children scatter their toys. See SURVIVORS, Page 2 intervention for keeping them safe.

But relatives mourned the three people killed as tornadoes left death and ruin in their wake. The victims include: Mary Rickey, 72, 1270 125th Largo, crushed in the living room of her upended mobile home in the Indian Rocks Mobile Home Park. Sambecca Shotts, 34, 10749 63rd Way, Pinellas Park, killed when the garage roof of her Beacon Run home collapsed. Teresa Moore, 63, of 10611 66th Pinellas Park, killed when her mobile home in the Park Royale Mobile Home Village was blown several hundred feet into a house. Fifty-nine people were injured, but only six had to be admitted to hospitals for treatment Initial reports of fatalities incorrectly placed the number of deaths at four.

Although the $27 billion bill includes several provisions that he favors, there were indications Bush would use the tax Increases as a reason to veto the measure. The campaigning president has renewed his promise not to raise taxes and daily criticizes Democratic nominee Bill Clinton's record of agreeing to comparable packages. Two of Bush's senior advisers FloridaMetro-4 sidestepped opportunities to endorse the bill. White House Budget Director Richard Darman referred to the bill as another Democratic effort to raise taxes. He declined on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" to say; whether the legislation will become law.

Reminded that the bill contains more than two dozen tax In-' creases, Darman said, "It isn't a tax increase bill if he's going to sign it. The president will not raise taxes. Period." Housing Secretary Jack Kemp said on ABC-TV's "This Week With David Brlnkley" that the bill's urban-aid program, designed to respond to the Los Angeles riots, "isn't going to get the job done. It's too little, too late." See BUSH, Page 9 FOCUS ON FLORIDA port after both engines on the same wing died, airline officials said. An official refused to rule out sabotage as a possible cause.

The jet slammed into the juncture of two nine-story apartment buildings, spewing flames and burning wreckage over a wide area of Duivendrecht, six miles east of the airport in the working-class suburb south of Amsterdam. Residents searched frantically for family members in the hellish landscape of fire, smoke and chaos that shattered a clear and cool evening. Dozens of people jumped out of windows to escape the inferno, radio reported.

At least 12 bodies were found, but the fire and danger of structural collapse slowed rescuers.
