PRAYERS THANK you St. Jude, Anthony and Venerable Mary for favours received. A.C. WORLD Clinton, Dole spend millions on TV ads The target: wooing the toss-up states tic market where he's already made inroads with retirees on the important Medicare issue. On the flip side, Dole's doing the same in California.

Republicans have vowed a $3-million TV campaign through August in California alone, hoping to dent Clinton's huge lead in a state where Dole might get a toehold with immigration and quota issues. Psychological warfare figures in this mix, too Clinton has run some $400,000 worth of ads in San Diego, site of the Republican Party's national convention where Dole needs to make a splash. Clinton's so flush with cash, he can afford to play mind games even in Texas, a state that hasn't gone Democratic in a presidential race since Lyndon Johnson and one of the places where Dole enjoys a solid lead. The president put up a handful of ads in Austin, apparently a rattle thecage manoeuvre aimed at the statehouse crowd. "Clearly, it's intended to demoralize the Republican troops, the legislators who come to town," said Democratic strategist David Doak.

Clinton is also pouring money into Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky hoping for inroads in areas of the South that should be Dole's, or at least to make Dole think he's making inroads. "You make the other guy defend his turf a little bit, so he's not spending much time or money on the real battleground states," said Alex Castellanos, a Republican Party media strategist who tracks ads via computer. He found that the Democrats have run 14,000 ads worth $16.5 million since mid-February. "Their strategy is kick us when we're down to keep us backed up to our own 10-yard line," Castellanos said. "All Clinton has shown is that he can score when he's the only one on the field." KAREN BALL publicans theorize Clinton thinks NEW YORK DAILY NEW southern Florida is mostly a Democra- WASHINGTON President Bill Clinton and the Democrats have poured $1.2 million into a TV blitz campaign in Florida normally a pillar of the Republican Party's presidential hopes.

Bob Dole is vowing to go for broke with advertising and travel in California, even though some of his advisers think it's a lost cause given the president's huge lead in the state. It's the summer political games, where each side is using a barrage of TV ads to shore up its chances in the bona fide toss -up states and to try to turn a place where he might otherwise not have a prayer into a battleground for the fall. "You'll see a lot of feinting and bluffing between now and Labor Day, to create an illusion that one or the other side in going to invest heavily in a certain state," said Democratic media strategist David Axelrod. "But after a while, you can bluff and feint yourself into They'll have to decide where to husband their resources," Axelrod said. Assuming a two-party race, there will likely be just a handful of real battleground states where the contest for the White House will play out.

Most analysts think it will be a belt across the heartland, from New Jersey through Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois. Colorado and Missouri may figure in the equation, too. But it's still an open question whether California and Florida will be crucial. In Florida, Clinton likely would bail out in the fall if the race tightens, so he could spend his time and money in the heartland. But by merely contesting now, he'll force Dole to squander resources in a state he should be able to take for granted.

The president's ads are running only in northern and western Florida. Re- Anne, St. Anne Blondin 73 million in global child labor: UN REUTER GENEVA At least 73 million 10 to 14 year-old boys and girls around the globe are engaged in child labor, 13 per cent of all children in the age group, the International Labor Organization said yesterday. And in a report for its current annual conference, the United Nations agency said so few over-all statistics were available that the world's total number of child workers could well be in the "hundreds of millions." The report, part of an ILO drive to get children out of the workplace, said two thirds of the 73 million were in Asia and 24 million were in Africa. But it was not only a problem in developing countries.

Even rich economies like the United States and Britain as well as some southern European countries contributed to the figure. Even in the United States, the report said, "the growth of the service sector, the rapid increase in the supply of part-time jobs and the search for a more flexible work force have contributed to the expansion of the childlabor market." "Today's child worker will be tomorrow's uneducated and untrained adult, forever trapped in grinding poverty," the ILO's director, General Michel Hansenne, said in introducing the report. "No effort should be spared to break that vicious circle." The report will be discussed at the conference June 12 by labor ministers from the ILO's 173 member states in an agenda aimed at speeding up worldwide efforts to end the most abusive forms of child employment slave labor and prostitution. Compiled by an ILO team of experts, the 38-page document says nine out of 10 children employed around the world lived in rural areas and were in agriculture or related activities. But it said child labor is increasing steadily in the towns and cities of developing countries although showing signs of decline in the emerging SouthEast-Asian economies because of rapid global migration out of the countryside in search of work.

Urban working children were found mainly in trade and service industries, often earning minimal wages scarcely enough to keep themselves, according to the report. In manufacturing industries, it said, they were most likely to be employed "when their labor is less expensive or less troublesome than that of adults, when other labor is scarce and when they are considered irreplaceable because of their size or perceived dexterity." The report said the available figures suggested that more boys in the 10-14 group around 41 million worked than girls. But surveys rarely took into account girls left to look after households while parents worked. Many girls also worked longer hours than boys because they were expected to help with housework after returning home. The report said that the countries with the highest percentages of 10-14 year-old children in their work force were: Mali, with 54.5 per cent; Burkina Faso, with 51 per cent; Niger and Uganda, with 45 per cent; and Kenya, with 41.3 per cent.

Israel is silent on Arab show of unity SERGE SCHMEMANN NEW YORK TIMES JERUSALEM The office of Israeli Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday declined to make a formal response to the call for an Arab summit meeting, saying it would issue a statement once the new government was formed. The swiftness with which Egypt succeeded in gaining agreement from most of the Arab world to gather for the first such meeting in six years, and the toughness of the warning to Israel not to deviate from existing peace policies, clearly startled the incoming administration. Netanyahu met with senior aides Saturday, after Arab leaders called for the meeting. The probable new defence minister, David Levy, said, "I hope we will be able to both reassure and to make manifest our desire to further the peace." Ehud. Olmert, the mayor of Jerusalem and another contender for a senior cabinet post, struck a tougher line, telling Israeli army radio of the Arabs, "They understand there will be a government here that will be more stubborn on various matters, that will be strict about sticking to an agreement on the basis of mutuality, that there won't be a situation any longer of unlimited leniency for every violation of an agreement." Netanyahu's decision not to issue a formal response reflected his preoccupation with forming a government.

It was also a tactic to see how the Arab front takes shape without getting into a war of words. In the view of some Israelis, the call for an Arab summit meeting was an attempt by Egypt to use the Israeli election to revive a common Arab front under Cairo's leadership. The question is whether the Arabs will overcome internal strife, and how far Cairo is willing to risk relations with Israel and the United States. Another major question is how Netanyahu will act on taking power. He hopes to introduce his new government next week, and he will be under pressure to announce his policy soon after.

I Two Israelis were shot to death in their car last night in what appeared to be the first terrorist attack in the country since Netanyahu's election victory. Police said the victims apparently were a couple travelling with a baby girl, who was unhurt. The shooting took place on a dark back road near a collective farm outside Beit Shemesh, about halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Police Commissioner Asaf Hefetz said between 15 and 20 bullets were fired at the car. "At first (sight), it looks like a terrorist incident," Hefetz said on Israeli radio.

The radio reported that security forces had set up roadblocks. LOS ANGELES TIMES OBITUARY Al Poulin, poet and publisher in the United States ROBERT McG. THOMAS JR.

In a field in which the major New York publishers, two dozen independent houses like BOA and an addition- perhaps a thousand volumes of poetry a year, Poulin, whose not-for-profit enterprise publishes six annual collections, consistently published poets whose works won a measure of literary acclaim.
