A Cox Newspaper We plan to keep hub in Dayton, USAir chairman says ed for raising that issue." Heine said he doesn't know whether the death of a proposed state tax on aviation fuel contributed to the USAir decision. But he added that he couldn't imagine it didn't have some impact. Metzenbaum captured USAir officials' attention at a Wednesday morning hearing on airline mergers conducted by the Judiciary Committee's antitrust subcommittee. By Tom Price WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON Dayton's passenger airline hub will be preserved if the proposed USAir takeover of Piedmont Airlines is approved, USAir Chairman and President Edwin Colodny announced Wednesday. "We plan to continue the fine hub operation that Piedmont has established at Dayton," Colodny said in a one-sentence announcement issued by his airline's public relations office late and public concern had been raised, it would be best to put the matter to rest," An exuberant Metzenbaum said Wednesday night that he "couldn't be more pleased" with the quick response to his morning comments.

Dayton Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Heine said he had a one-word reaction to the USAir announcement: "Hallelujah! "All along, we have felt that there was a very strong situation for keeping the hub. I guess it was fear for the unknown that was our greatest concern. "I think Sen. Metzenbaum is to be commend Dave Shipley, a USAir Group Inc. spokesman, said the announcement was made because of concerns about the hub's future expressed by Ohio Democrat Howard Metzenbaum during a Senate subcommittee hearing Wednesday morning.

Metzenbaum aides said they requested the announcement during a meeting Wednesday afternoon with representatives of USAir and Piedmont. Shipley said the airline was not prepared to release further information about its plans for the hub at Dayton International Airport. Metz-enbaum's aides said their discussions with the airline representatives did not get into specifics. "The thrust of their comments was that Dayton was going to remain very important and, if anything, they would expand operations," Eddie Correia, Metzenbaum's chief Judiciary Committee aide, said. The airline representatives said they did not intend to eliminate the Dayton hub after the merger, as many in Dayton feared might occur, Correia said.

"We asked them to make it public," Correia said. "We felt, since the issue had been raised Wednesday afternoon. SEE V. Warner 73 women rescued in basement prison 2 deaths feared; Philadelphia man charged payback urged Judge considers restitution order 4i it" dr! iif AJ i I By Scott Flander and Edward Moran KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWS SERIVCE PHILADELPHIA Three women being held captive in chains were found by police early Wednesday when they entered a homemade dungeon in a house in north Philadelphia. At least two other women believed to have been imprisoned earlier may have died.

During a search, police said, they uncovered human body parts in the kitchen indicating the deaths of at least two people. The owner of the house, Gary Michael Heidnick, 43, was arrested and charged with four counts of rape and four counts of kidnapping. Heidnick, who is white, was described by neighbors as being about 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, with sandy brown hair. Police said they believed Heidnick took women to his house for sex and then imprisoned them. Two of the women in the basement, both in their late teens, were suffering from malnutrition and dehydration and were be- SEE RESCUED5 By Mark Fisher STAFF WRITER CINCINNATI Marvin Warner should be ordered to pay back at least $23 million to the state because of the crimes he committed prior to the collapse of his Home State Savings Bank, a special prosecutor said Wednesday.

Special Prosecutor Lawrence Kane also recommended that former savings bank President Burton Bongard be ordered to pay the state more than $114 million, and that David Schiebel, another former Home State president, pay $50,000. Bongard was convicted earlier this month of 82 counts stemming from Home State's collapse. Warner was convicted of nine counts and Schiebel three counts in the same trial. Hamilton County Common Pleas tfudge Richard Niehaus received Kane's h.

Niehaus said after the trial that state law allows him to order restitution from the three former Home State officials. The amount can be based on the losses that the judge determines were sustained by the victims of the defendants' actions, along with the defendants' ability to pay, he said. Warner attorney R. Stan Mortenson on Wednesday challenged Niehaus' interpretation of the law. "An order for restitution is not warranted (that) does not apply to what Mr.

Warner was convicted of," Mortenson said. The dozens of pending civil lawsuits stemming from Home State's collapse are the proper method to determine whether Warner and others owe the state, Mortenson said. In his recommendation, Kane said the amounts of Home State deposits that Warner and others placed at risk are "staggering." Without a doubt, yes. "We anticipate this tournament means a 2 'j to 3 million dollar weekend for the Dayton area," Heine said. Last year's event was moved from its traditional site, St.

John Arena in Columbus, because of Ohio State University's commencement exercises. Dayton was given the bid largely because of its experience with National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament play. Area hotels and restaurants are accustomed to dealing with tournament crowds. "We've been the headquarters for the NCAA, so we're able to staff our food and beverage outlets based on that experience. We'll staff even heavier than last year," said Dave Pyser, director of marketing at the Marriott Hotel, across the Great Miami River from UD Arena.

"One thing we didn't realize last year was how many people would be coming back to the Marriott between games," he said. "The arena is cleared between games. People didn't want to move their cars from the parking lot, so they'd walk across the bridge to us. Many of the people in our restaurant and lounge weren't staying at our hotel. But that's OK with us." By Dave Lamb SPORTS SPECIAL WRITER After the NCAA sub-regional tournament at the University of Dayton Arena last year, a local restaurateur had good news to tell Tom Heine, president of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce.

"This has been the best weekend in my restaurant's 35 he said. Two weeks later, during the state high school basketball tournament at UD Arena, the restaurateur was back on the phone with an update. "I can't believe this," he told Heine, "but this weekend was even better." The 65th annual Ohio high school boys state basketball tournament begins tonight at UD Arena. Twelve teams, including Dunbar and Jefferson from Dayton, are competing for three titles. The high school tournament is scheduled to return to Columbus next year, but Heine expects open bidding the following year.

"Columbus had better be matching our package," Heine said. "We want the tournament back." Does the state high school basketball tournament have will hurt men, while Ms. Joyce said it will help balance out the work force. Johnson and Ms. Joyce both had considerable experience working as road yard clerks with the Santa Clara County Transportation Agency in California and applied for the dispatcher's job in 1980.

Johnson scored two points higher than Ms. Joyce on an oral examination, and the test examiners unanimously recommended him for the promotion. The woman got the job. The justices said a 1964 civil rights law banning on-the-job discrimination allows such preferential treatment. They said employers may adopt affirmative action plans without admitting past discrimination against women.

"I can't believe it, I just can't believe it," said Paul Johnson. It was Johnson's failure to get promoted to a road dispatcher's job in favor of Ms. Joyce that prompted the Supreme Court to rule Wednesday that an employer may discriminate in favor of women to help even the balance between the sexes.

"It's a gross miscarriage of justice," said Johnson, 62, who is retired and now lives in Sequim, Wash. "I can't believe people with their intelligence could rule this way."
