Pat Costello LOS ANGELES Pat Costello, a writer for Abbott and Costello and brother of the zanier half of the comedy team, the late Lou Costello, died Thursday of heart failure at age 87. Anthony S.

Cristillo, who entered entertainment under the name Pat Costello, died at his home in suburban Encino. When his brother and Bud Abbott traveled to California in 1939 to make their first major film, "Buck Privates," Pat Costello went along to work as a stunt double for his younger brother. He also had parts in other Abbott and Costello features, including a role as a detective's assistant in "Mexican Hayride" in 1948. During the 1940s, he wrote for "The Camel Show," a weekly NBC radio program starring the popular comedy team. He later wrote and produced the "Abbott Costello Show" for television in 1951 and 1952.

Ross Paddock KALAMAZOO, Mich. Bishop Ross P. Paddock, a former presiding bishop of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, died Monday of heart failure at age 83. He was named presiding bishop to fill an unexpired term in 1967, and was elected to the post for two three-year terms in 1968 and 1971. from the moment she opened her mouth she was Everyone Else with the famous mother.

She told me her story. From the moment she was born, she got to do whatever she wanted to do. She went to bed and got up when she felt like it. If she craved jelly beans and coffee for breakfast, she got it. No one nagged her to shut the door, sit up straight, clear the table or make her own bed.

She could drink out of everyone's glass at parties if she wanted to. She drank milk out of the carton, and no one yelled at her. She was rude to people and never had to apologize. She made mistakes and never had to be accountable for them. She picked her own clothes, he own schools, her own friends.

She was the envy of all her contemporaries. Finally, I could stand it no longer. "Jan, for years I've heard about your mother. Somehow, she's the perfection that none of us has been able to touch. I would love to meet her." Everyone Else just looked at me and slowly repeated the word "love." You'd have thought it was the first time she had ever heard it.

Louise Patterson LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Louise Caroline Heiskell Patterson, a former member of the board of the Arkansas Gazette died Sunday. She was 69. Mrs. Patterson was the daughter of J.N.

Heiskell, president and editor of the Gazette from 1902 until his death in 1972. She was the former wife of Hugh B. Patterson, chairman emeritus of the Gazette.

Judith B. Goodenough, a songwriter and author of three volumes of poetry, died of cancer Tuesday at her home. She was 47 Mrs. Goodenough's songs were recorded on folk labels by such artists as the Irish Duo, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. All my life I've heard about "Everyone else's mother." Every time I told my kids they had to have the car home by 11, 1 was informed, "Everyone Else's mother said they could stay out until 2." When I stood firm that they could not have a phone of their own or a separate listing, they grumbled, "Everyone Else's mother lets them have their own phone." No bathing suit was too revealing for Everyone Else's mother to put her stamp of approval on.

No allowance was too generous for her to shell out. She was the Good Fairy of children everywhere. My friends and I used to talk about this mother a lot. Was she a myth created in the minds of children who wanted to be free from parental decrees, or did she really exist? All I really knew was that she was always with us, following us around from city to city, school to school, year in and year out. You cannot imagine my surprise recently when I met Everyone Else face to face.

She called herself Jan, but I knew 1 '4 74 33 38 21 27 2 -32 15 25 35 41 29 68 68 45 26 22 60 60 31V8 58 23 21 26 140V4 72 46 52V4 12 43 27 31 57 8 28 159 74 14 25 16 77 25 10.. 16 30 29 33 12 36V4 49 26 79 39 34 10 33 58 19V4 51 34 25 33 25 26 56 83 36 34 36 50 30 18 22 26 57 28 ZJ'8 74 26 5-161-32 27 25 3 24 THE FAMILY CIRCUS, By Bil Keane 2v "Grains LeqariNotice KANSAS CITY, Mo.

The strong showing in the suburban legislative district by Mulligan, who supported women's right to abortion, drew widespread attention as a possible indicator of voter reaction against abortion opponents.
