Dusty, whose blond hair had fallen out because of chemotherapy and whose weight had dropped to 23 pounds, died at 5 p.m. Monday in the family home on Unity Road north of West Union in Adams County. Her parents, Sherman, 27, and April, 25, looked on helplessly as the little girl with the angelic face drew her last breath. "Two days ago she told us she loved us," the father said this morning.

"It was pretty rough. They had told us there was nothing else they could do for her." The child had been brought home to die from Children's Hospital in Cincinnati the day before Labor Day, according to her father. SHE HAD DEVELOPED an obstruction of the bowel. "When you have that, you can't keep anything down," the father said. About all the little girl could say was "she was going to throw up," he said.

The Patricks learned almost two years ago that their baby had cancer when she became ill and tumors in her chest and abdomen were discovered. A series of operations followed but each time complications put of offenses for which capital punishment could be applied. Sen. Richard H. Finan, R-Cincinnatl, deplored the amendments and said that unless the bill is beefed up by floor amendment "I probably will vote against it." Finan has been a chief spokesman for minority Republicans in the Senate who have been sharply critical of majority Democrats for holding off action on the House version of the death penalty since February 1979.

He commented at the close of a five-hour committee meeting at which 18 amendments were approved, all but three offered by Judiciary Chairman Marigene Valiquette, D-Toledo. She opposes the death penalty and would prefer no capital punishment law at all, she said. THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE and the Senate Finance Committee returned from weekend recess i day ahead of the full Senate to consider the two biggest issues before lawmakers who hope to adjourn this week until after the Nov. 4 election. At a marathon session of its own, the finance panel expanded and readied for a floor vote a proposal, already passed by the House, cutting the state sales tax on new autos in half for 60 days to stimulate sales in the troubled auto Industry.

The committee expanded the sales tax break to also include purchases of vans, pickup trucks, and recreational vehicles. Senate leaders said earlier the death penalty will be voted on by the full Senate on Wednesday as a single item of business. The sales tax vote could come Thursday. Although Ms. Valiquette prevailed In series of amendments that eliminated "felony murders" from crimes for which the death penalty could be implied, she was voted down in an effort to take death out of the bill.

By DOUGLAS LOWENSTEIN Dily Ntwt Washington Bunni WASHINGTON The city of Dayton will be asked to pay about $185,000 to the federal government as a penalty for alleged financial mismanagement at the former Charles H. Drew Community Health Center, It was learned Monday. Two months ago, the regional office of the federal Department of Health and Human Services concluded in a preliminary audit of Drew's expenses for the 12-month period ending June 30, 1977, that Drew improperly had billed the agency for $370,833 in expenses. Auditors at the Health Services Administration here have completed a review of the regional findings and will issue a final determination in about two weeks, according to John Kapitan, an HSA grants management officer. While declining to specify the exact findings, Kapitan told The Dayton Daily News, "The city of Dayton will be re-quested to refund to HHS approximately one-half of the amount cited by the regional office." THE DREW CENTER, which filed for bankruptcy in August 1977, operated as an independent body.

However, its federal funding came through a grant to the city, which had responsibility as recipient of the funds to monitor how they were used. Dr. George I. Lythcott, administrator of HSA, who must approve the final determination, should receive the Drew matter within a week, Kapitan said. While he could change the staff findings, Kapitan said, "Ninety-five percent of the time he signs the reports as drafted." If that occurs, the city will be notified within two weeks.

In a letter to HSA last week, Dayton denied that it owes any money to the federal government. Under agency rules, it will be able to appeal the latest finding. Acting city Finance Director David Hamilton said the city definitely will appeal such a finding. HAMILTON SAID THAT only about 5 percent "are claims we may not be able to substantiate." The HHS review covers the 12-month period ending June 30, 1977. During that time, Drew received an $810,000 federal grant.

The audit examined Drew's year-end Itemization of how the grant was spent. The regional office's chief charge against Drew was that it had deducted $225,564 in federal, state and local payroll taxes from employee checks and then never paid the money to the Internal Revenue Service. When IRS hit the center with a lien, Drew recorded the lien as a charge to the federal grant, in effect double billing the government, according to the auditors. Hamilton said the IRS claim was "completely satisfied" during the Drew bankruptcy case with funds obtained from the sa'e of Drew property LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) As 5,000 people and a television camera crew watched, a motorcycle daredevil attempting a feat that had defied Evel Knievel crashed into a wall after a 170-foot leap over the fountains at Caesar's Palace.

The stunt for ABC-TV's "That's Incredible!" was at least the second for the show to result In injuries. Gary Wells was in critical condition today after hours of surgery to repair a tear in the main artery of his heart. He also suffered broken legs, a fractured pelvis and a concussion, officials said. WELLS' DOCTOR SAID he was optimistic about the daredevil's recovery, but Wells was not out of danger. The 23-year-old motorcyclist had completed the jump Monday when his dirt bike clipped the edge of the landing ramp, skidded along a parking lot and crashed into a retaining wall.

Six spectators were injured when they fell 15 feet as the wall gave way. The jump was to have been broadcast on a segment of ABC-TV's "That's Incredible!" Monday night, but it was dropped from the program after the crash. A brief ABC announcement to viewers said the motor cyclist, who holds the world's motorcycle jumping record, had been injured earlier in the day. Network officials were not available for further comment. IN ANOTHER "That's Incredible!" injury, Steve Lewis, 27, of San Diego was Injured July 6 while trying to jump over two cars speeding toward him at 100 mph.

He suffered extensive foot and knee Injuries in the incident. Wells had said he had no doubt his jump would be successful. "The jump's going to be very difficult because of the limited takeoff area and confined stopping area. I'll be running over a couple of speed bumps, then making an S-corner 300 feet before I hit the takeoff ramp," he said earlier this month. Monday's jump was the first stunt at the fountains at the Strip resort since Evel Knievel failed 13 years ago in an attempt to get his motorcycle over the waters.

Knievel suffered numerous broken bones at that time. Wells had seen Knievel attempt the fountain stunt, and recently had commented, "To see him crash didn't bother me. I just assumed he didn't know what he was doing because he wasn't successful." Dusty back In the hospital. She spent most of this summer at home and romped like any normal child, according to her parents. She even went to the Adams County Fair in West See DUSTY, Page 11.
