Lucas can't promise he won't kill again WARSAW, Poland Club-swinging riot police charged at Lech Walesa and about 1,000 supporters who infiltrated an official May Day parade today. The authorities used water cannon, tear gas and truncheons to disperse thousands of Solidarity supporters in other cities.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or arrests. The only independent labor union in a Soviet bloc country, Solidarity was suspended in December 1981 with the martial law crackdown and later outlawed. Walesa and about 1,000 other activists slipped past lines of riot police and marched in the official May Day parade in Gdansk, Walesa's hometown and the birthplace of Solidarity. They carried banners "Solidar-nosc!" (Solidarity). WALESA FLASHED A "V-for-victory" sign as he passed the dais occupied by Communist officials and then riot police charged into the parade.

Walesa slipped away. "I was leading an independent march," the Solidarity founder said later. "Our march was a great success. We marched with all our slogans and banners. "We approached the dais, flashed the V-sign, and then ZOMO (the riot police) entered," the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner said.

"There was fighting in front of the dais. Not bad, was it?" Earlier, police fired waters cannons and beat protesters outside Walesa's apartment to drive off about 1,000 demonstrators. His wife, Dan-uta, waved a Solidarity banner from a window. POLICE ALSO USED tear gas, water cannons and truncheons to scatter chanting crowds of Solidarity supporters in Warsaw and the southern city of Czestochowa, site of the Black Madonna, Poland's most famous shrine. May Day is an international workers' holiday, and Polish authorities celebrate it with official marches by Communist Party members and government workers.

In Moscow, tens of thousands of applauding workers paraded in Red Square past Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko, who watched May Day floats that bore his picture and denounced NATO missiles in Europe. CHERNENKO, PRESIDING OVER his first May Day parade since taking the helm of the country as Communist Party chief, looked fit as he mounted the steps to review the state's annu-, al spring rite from the platform of the red granite Lenin mausoleum. Led by marchers carrying balloons and banners, the well-organized workers applauded and Chernenko waved to them. Since the last century, May 1 has been celebrated around the world as a day of labor solidarity. In the Soviet Union it has grown to become a celebration of the end of harsh winter weather.

Today was unseasonably warm and skies were sunny. Chernenko, 72, who succeeded Yuri Andropov in February, wore a dark blue coat Chernenko skipped last year's parade because of illness. Fellow members of the Politburo, Nikolai Tikhonov, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gro-myko and Defense Minister Marshal Dmitri Ustinov followed Chernenko up the steps to the platform. By TERRY GOODRICH and JERRY WHITE American-Statesman Staff SHANGHAI, China (AP) President Reagan concluded his six-day visit to China on May Day, the communist holiday celebrating workers, telling Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang today, "We leave with many warm memories and a warm feeling for you and your people." After touring a commune and accepting congratulations from Zhao on the success of his journey, the president, accompanied by his wife, Nancy, waved goodbye to Chinese officials and Air Force One departed for the nine-hour flight to Fairbanks, Alaska. In a farewell telephone call from Zhao in Peking, Reagan pledged to "do our utmost to continue the relationship that we feel has been established." REAGAN, SAID he looked forward to visiting China again.

"We would come with great pleasure." Reagan said the United States and China "have arrived at a new level" in their relations. He said that while the two nations have differing systems, "we still found there are areas of agreement with regard to peace, opposition to expansionism and hegemony, and we found that we could agree on a great many things." Reagan was there were "some areas where they had misunderstanding" about the United States, "but we cleared them up." He said the two countries have "reached a new plateau, we went beyond the nuts and bolts of tax agreement or the things that we signed the other day." Asked how the Chinese felt about his "preaching" to them about democracy, God, capitalism and freedom, Reagan replied that they "never said any words about that, and I never put it as preaching to them." "I felt that if we're going to get along, they've got to understand us and what we believe," Reagan said. "That's why I did that." THE PRESIDENT said he was not propagandizing, and "evidently they took care of that in their own way they just did not repeat that to their people." In China, Reagan's last stop was the Rainbow Bridge Township, formerly called a commune, one of the basic units of communist society. "I think it is wonderful," he said. In Fairbanks, the president is scheduled to meet Pope John Paul II on Wednesday.

Reagan planned to return to the White House on Wednesday night. Zhao, with whom Reagan had met earlier in Peking, told Reagan that his visit "has enhanced understanding and improved relations between our two countries." According to a transcript of the call provided by the White House. Reagan told Zhao, "We leave with many warm memories and a warm feeling for you and your people and we shall do our utmost to continue the relationship that we feel has been established." REAGAN SAID HE was especially impressed with a tour of a commune home and his visit with the family who built it, Bao Hong Yuan, 35, and his wife Yong Hong Fang, 33. The president spent 30 minutes with the couple and their 7-year-old son, Gian Fang, and their elderly parents. The house appeared to be one of the finest on the commune, which grows enough vegetables to feed about 2 million people.

Asked how he liked the commune, Reagan said, "I think it is wonderful, especially because our host has built the home himself." The stop at the commune, which also included a visit to a child care center where a group of children danced to the music of a small band, wound up Reagan's first official journey to a communist nation. Though Reagan referred several times to the differences in ideology between the United States and China, he said those differences need not get in the way of good relations. Jail while officers from around the country question him about unsolved slayings. But he spoke freely of his life since June 1983, which is when he says he was converted and promised God he would help law enforcement officials solve murders he has committed. "As long as I can get the truth on the streets, don't mind talking about it," he said.

"Somebody out there has to wake the public up. There are plenty more of them out there like me." Lucas says that God appeared to him in a Montague County Jail cell as "one of the prettiest lights you've ever seen." "From that day on, there's been a change in my life," Lucas declared. "I heard a vqice that wasn't there. I even felt hands on me." He says the voice told him, "I forgive you" and asked him to accept God as his savior. "I called the deputy and he said there wasn't nothing, that I was hallucinating," Lucas said.

"I just started confessing to every crime I've done." Lucas said he understands when people are skeptical about the experience because "I can't believe it myself." But since that time, he said, he See Lucas, A7 GEORGETOWN Convicted murderer Henry Lee Lucas, the man who claims to have killed 360 people, says he is now a born-again Christian but he can't guarantee he wouldn't kill again. In a Jail interview Monday, Lucas sported a hot pink T-shirt bearing the words "Jesus the Real Rock." He spoke out against abortion, condemning it as "taking another person's life." He called women's liberation "a good thing" and advised hitchhikers the target of many of his killings to take "sensible precautions." He spoke of plans to use royalties from his yet-to-be written biography for a halfway house for runaway children and 'religious prisoners." I He told of a devil-worshiping Cult that he said inspired him to commit many of his murders, and he displayed paintings he has done of lakes, mountains, a horse and a woman named Sister Clemmle, who visits him in the Williamson County Jail and prays with him.

The loss figure indicates that Bell needs only that amount in a rate increase, not the $1.3 billion that the company asked for, he said. in i-f-'- Showers bring little relief to dry spell The first day of May brought light showers this morning, but the traditionally shower-full month of April will go down in record books as the driest in Austin in almost 100 years. The .06 of an inch of rain that fell during April was "just a little bit more than nothing," forecaster Al Redd of the National Weather Service Austin office said this morning. The recording of only a trace of rain in April 1887 was made before the Weather Service was established, so this April's reading is the lowest since the service began keeping official records. Austin normally receives 3.11 inches of rain in April The chance for rain will decrease to 40 percent tonight and 20 percent Wednesday, Redd said, Some thunderstorms late today could be heavy, he said.

The high today will be in the mid-70s, followed by a low tonight in the mid-60s. The high Wednesday will be in the low 80s. Winds will be easterly at 10 to 15 mph today and 10 mph tonight Wednesday winds will be southeasterly at 10 to 15 mph. The low rainfall in April put the Austin area 3.67 inches behind the normal amount of rainfall for the must ensure that local phone rates are not priced beyond the means of average customers. The rates also must guarantee that Bell be able to attract investors on a competitive basis, he said.

"We must structure an environment where this monopoly can learn to be part of the free-enterprise system yet be "regulated at the same time," Erwin said. Erwin said, "a weak and financially strapped company" cannot meet the demands expected to accompany growth in Texas. Ricketts recommended that Bell be granted a maximum 12.3 percent rate of return on its investment Bell had sought a 17 percent return. He also recommended that independent long-distance companies, which have received an 80-percent discount from Bell, receive only a 55 percent discount Ricketts proposed that long-distance companies pay Bell $698.6 million in access charges. Earlier today, Jim Boyle, the state lawyer for small utility consumers, argued that Bell should receive only $653 million.

A TO BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK HiSTOPiCIL MAPKESS HUNTING i ALL -WOMAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE By MIKE HAILEY American-Statesman Staff Public Utility Commission Chairman Alan Erwin today recommended adoption with minor changes of a proposed $854.8 million rate increase for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. That increase, recommended by commission hearing examiners, would raise residential phone bills an average of 35 cents a month statewide. Most of the increase would come from long-distance companies that tie into the Bell network. The three-member commission was expected to rule later today on Bell's 10-month-old request for a rate increase of $1.3 billion.

There was no immediate indication how commissioners Phil Rick-etts and Peggy Rosson would vote on Erwin's recommendation, but Ricketts had suggestions of his own on the record rate case. "It's fair to say that we are facing a revolution in telecommunica- tions in Texas," Erwin said. "I think it will affect every telephone user in Texas."
