The Wolfman, wnose real name was Robert Smith, had returned home to-this northeast North Carolina town earlier in the after a 20-day trip to promote bis book "Have when he collapsed, said Lonnle Napier, vice president of Wolfman Jack Entertainment. "Re walked up the driveway, went to hug his wife and then just fell over," said Napier from the radio personality's home about 120 miles east of Raleigh. Born in Brooklyn, the Wolfman came to prominence in the early 1960s on XERF-AM, playing the latest rock roB on a Mexican station Oat broadcast at 250,000 watts, five times the power allowed on any U.S. station at the time. The station's signal blanketed much of the United States.

He did a syndicated radio broadcast Friday night from a Planet Hollywood restaurant in Washington, D.C. "He had just done one of his best shows," Napier said. "He was feeling reaDy good." The Wolfman recently lost 40 pounds through diet and exercise, he said. "But he still smoked his Camels. He was going to live the way he lived," Napier said.

His name came from a trend of the period, when disc jockeys took nicknames such as "Moondog" or "Hound Dog." He enjoyed horror movies, so he took the name Wolfman. It wasn't until he played Hfansrff the 1973 coming-of-age movie "American Graffiti' that America saw the face that went with the voice. The next year, Wolfman Jack became the host of television's "Midnight Special" and moved to New York to work for WNBC radio. He is survived by his wife, Lou Lamb Smith, a daughter and a son.

Tro Associated Press 24 survivors spent 52 hours in rubble of Korean store The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea: Dehydrated and hungry, aware the ceiling of their tiny sanctuary was crumbling, 24 trapped cleaning workers knew help was coming -but were not sure it would arrive before they ran out of time and luck. Finally, after 52 hours trapped in darkness, a rescuer slipped into the room where they had been changing out of their cleaning uniforms when the shopping mall above collapsed into rubble Thursday night Greased with vegetable oil and liquid soap, they slithered to safety Saturday, crawling through a twisting, 130-foot tunnel that in places was only 16 inches high. The tunnel took rescue workers hours to create. When the first survivor emerged into the glare of floodlights and camera' flashes, applause broke out among the hundreds of relatives, rescue workers and journalists who waited to savor this moment, fearing it would never come.

They seemed to be in good condition," said Lee Pong-nee, a 33-year-old rescue worker. One woman fainted after she found her husband among the survivors. "Some people were drinking urine to fight dehydration, but I couldn't do it," 64-year-old Park Chun-hwa said from her hospital bed, surrounded by her four daughters. "I lived through this; I ran get through anything." Park's family had been planning a banquet Saturday to celebrate her which is Wednesday. "I don't know if IH ever be able to repay the people who rescued her," sobbed her oldest daughter, Lee Chum-soon.

It was a rare moment of joy and relief amid the tragedy and tears that have dominated since a five- story wing of die ritzy Sampoong Department Store caved in Thursday evening on more than people. The massive collapse killed 133 people and injured 910 others. About 60 people were pulled out alive earlier, but more than 200 remain unaccounted for. Man executed April 19 predicted bombing Gannett News Service In the days leading to the Oklahoma City disaster, a white supremacist on Arkansas' death row predicted there would be a major bombing, according to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Richard Wayne SneO, 64, who was executed for murder April 19, the same day as the Oklahoma attack, repeatedly told guards and his spiritual adviser about a pending bombing, said Alan Abies, a department A A BOM "He said there was going to be a huge bombing, and not much more than that," Abies said.

'He didn't give any impression that it would be a domestic bombing or something overseas, just that there would be some confusion as to who did it and the United States was going to blame someone in the Mideast" Snail's name surfaced in a 1983 plot to blow up a federal building in Oklahoma City, using a truck filled with bombs. A fellow white supremacist testified about the plot in a 1988 trial in Fort Smith, Ark. Snell eventually was acquitted with 13 others. The FBI recently obtained Snell's prison file from Warden Terry Campbell of the security unit at Tucker, Abies said. The file included a visitors list and letters.

The agency secured the file as part of an effort to determine who or what organizations might have assisted in the plot, say those familiar with the investigation. To date, only Timothy McVeigh, 27, and Army buddy Terry Nichols, 40, have been charged in the Oklahoma bombing, which killed 168. Prison records kept by guards observing Snell before his execution showed that he was "smiling and chuckling" as he watched news reports of the bombing. He was executed by lethal injection later that day. "He commented at least once (in his last week) that he wished he wasn't leaving, he'd like to stick around a few more weeks, because he wanted to watch what was going to happen" in regard to a bombing, Abies said AssocawJ Press Wolfman Jack howls into a microphone Aug.

5,1973, at WNBC Studios in New York. The Wolfman, bom Robert Smith, died Saturday. He was 57 Boris Yeltsin's government survives vote The Associated Press Yeltsin's government survived a critical second no-confidence vote Saturday, signaling a new willingness by the president and parliament to seek political compromise. Parliament's vote ended Russia's worst political crisis in nearly two years, although major differences remain over economic and foreign policy as well as the war in the southern republic of Chechnya. The crisis has been settled on the basis of compromise with the president's direct involvement," said Prime Minister Viktor Cher- nomyrdin, "It has been a difficult process.

All sides showed political responsibility and tolerance." The seizure last month of 2,000 hostages by Chechen gunmen touched off the clash between Yeltsin and parliament. Lawmakers criticized the government for failing to prevent the tragedy, launching rescue attempts that killed hostages and then allowing the Chechens to escape in return for the hostages' release. The no-confidence vote Saturday was 193-116, far short of the 226 needed in the 450-seat State Duma, parliament's powerful lower house. Forty-eight members abstained. In response, Chernomyrdin withdrew a government measure that would have forced lawmakers to declare confidence in the Cabinet Yeltsin used a combination of compromise and strong-arm tactics to defeat the motion, even threaten: ing to dissolve parliament if it passed Saturday's no-confidence vote.

When the Duma passed its first no-confidence motion June 21, a defiant Yeltsin dared the Duma to "sign its own death sentence" with a second vote. In the days that followed, however, Yeltsin and Chernomyrdin met with, lawmakers to seek a way out of the crisis Both admitted that mistakes were made, and Yeltsin backed his words with action late Friday. The president fired three of his security ministers who were blamed by parliament for their botched handling of the hostage episode in the southern city of Budyonnovsk. Replacements have not been announced for the three Cabinet members Interior Minister Viktor Yerin, Federal Security Service chief Sergei Stepashin and Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Yegorov. Lawmakers said Yeltsin's government likely would have survived Saturday's no-confidence vote even without the firings, but they praised Yeltsin for his action.

"I think the president made a good step, a step toward the Duma, that will have an effect in the long- term," said Yegor Gaidar, a former prime minister who broke with Yeltsin over the war in Chechnya. Egypt vows not to attack; suspected gunmen killed The Associated Press CAIRO, Egypt: Egypt stepped back from its confrontation with Sudan on Saturday, ruling out an attack on its southern neighbor, even if Sudan had a hand in the attempt on President Hosni Mubarak's life. Remarks by Egypt's foreign minister and a top advisor to Mubarak dispelled growing threats that the two Arab countries traded during the past week. Ethiopian Radio reported Saturday that Ethiopian security forces killed three men suspected of involvement in the assassination attempt Monday as Mubarak traveled to an African summit in Addis Ababa. The report did not identify the men by nationality.

Mubarak accused Sudan of orchestrating the attempt on his life, setting off a war of wprds between the two countries that escalated into clashes in a disputed border area that left three Sudanese soldiers dead. With uncharacteristic bombast, Mubarak claimed he could overthrow Sudan's Islamic regime in days, and Sudanese leaders warned they would turn the disputed Halaib area into a graveyard for Egyptians. Bui remarks by a top adviser to Mubarak on Saturday appeared intended to dispel the growing threat between the neighbors -though they did little to soften the rhetoric. Osama el-Baz, Mubarak's chief political adviser, told Egyptian television that Egypt "would not carry out any military operations against Sudan even if there were some official or semi-official factions involved in the failed attempt-on President Mubarak." Once an investigation identifies the assailants, Egypt's reaction will be "calculated, rational and strong." But he ruled out any "military adventure," because Egypt does not want to hurt the "brotherly Sudanese people" Foreign Minister Amr Moussa also ruled out military action, saying it never was an option. But he said legal and political measures could be taken if a Sudanese role were uncovered.

The door is still open for understanding between the people of the two countries on the condition that Sudan proves to the Arab and international world that it has nothing to do with this attack and it does not support terrorism," Moussa said. Plan weighed to curb rain forest logging in Canada The Associated Press The process begins wift a year-old tree in an ancient Canadian rain forest It ends with the thwack of a freshly printed newspaper landing on an American doorstep. But what usually happens in between clear-cut logging that reduces eye-popping vistas of towering trees to stump-speckled hillsides might be completely reinvented hi British Columbia, a supplier of paper and lurabtr to the United States. Under pressure from a coalition of environmental groups worldwide, the liberal B.C. provincial government says it win decide by Wednesday whether to adopt tile recommen- dations of a government-appointed scientific panel that wants to end clear-cat logging on Clayoquot Sound, home of the continent's most pristine example of a coastal temperate rain forest Instead, the panel has recommended an elaborate system of selective tree harvesting that leaves intact biologically diverse tree stands in places that otherwise would be stripped of timber.

MacMfflan Bloedel the Van- logging company that has most of the logging rights in Clayoquot' (pronounced CLACK- wit), has said it is wining totry the new system, even though ft says it win cost money and jobs. Environmental groups, which have spent two years trying to organize a global boycott of the company, also say they are generally pleased with the recommendation. The government is adding up the numbers. "Some of the biggest public protests in Canadian history broke out in the summer of 1993 in British Columbia when the provincial government, elected in part because ft promised to protect the forests that are the region's main source of revenue, adopted a new management plan that set aside 34 percent of the preserve and allowed controlled logging through much of the rest More than 800 people were arrested in the disturbances that followed, and Greenpeace, the Sierra Club and-the Natural-Resources Defense Council formed a coalition to pressure MacMillan Woedel's high-profile customers particularly The New York Times and phone book-makers GTE and Pacific Bell to stop buying newsprint from the company. 'Over half of tiie wood cut Clayoquot Sound ends up in the United States," said Robert Kennedy Jr, the Kennedy clan scion, who is a lawyer "for the National Resources TMense Council.

There are whole mountainsides mat look like they -were the subject of severe carpet bombing," he said. The newsprint users are the most visible users, and they're the easiest to target" While The New York Times has provided a strong editorial voice in defense of the environment and the world's forests and is a frequent critic of timber companies, it has had to fend off a barrage of criticism from environmental groups. The Wan Street Journal, Knight- Ridder and Gannett also have contracts with MacMfflan Bloedel and environmentalists claim news coverage of the Clayoquot controversy has been-sparsfc- They have a vested interest in not covering it," said longtime activist and California Sen.
