The Paducah Sun from Paducah, Kentucky • 12

A12 ThePaducah Sun Wednesday, August 5, 1987 IRAN Broadcasters see no change in wake of fairness doctrine RBSI to air Fox Network programs Staff report CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -KBSI television will begin broadcasting Fox Network programs Sept. 7. The independent station's parent company is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, "but here is this big corporation, 20th Century Fox, putting their programming on our station it really looks good for us," said Bryan Uptain, KBSI promotion director. KBSI is carried in Paducah on cable channel 18.

KBSI officials said the Chapter 11 move was for legal protection, gramming covered all sides, by selling ads or making free time available to groups with opposing views. Unless and until Congress acts, radio and television broadcasters no longer will have to use the doctrine as a measure of their fairness in news and public affairs coverage. Edward O. Fritts, president of the National Association of oleasters, the industry trade applauded the FCC for "er this blight on the First Aim ment." "We are all now much closer to enjoying the same freedom to serve the American public's news and information needs as the printed press," he said, adding that "the vast majority of broadcasters will do this professionally and fully." was an "end-run" around Congress, which earlier this year passed a bill to codify the doctrine but has been unable to override President Reagan's veto. Rep.

Edward J. Markey, chairman of the House telecommunications subcommittee, said: "The honeymoon between, Congress and the Patrick Commission is over." Dennis R. Patrick took over as chairman of the commission last spring. i The doctrine, which evolved through FCC decisions and case law, required radio and TV stations to cover "controversial issues of public importance" in their communities and present contrasting views on those issues. If someone bought time to present a position on a controversial issue, the station had to ensure that its overall pro- Reagan, lawmakers agree on Contra aid Continued from page I maneuvers, the Revolutionary Guards, devoted followers of Aya-tollah Ruhollah Khomeini, are battling hypothetical targets with surface-to-ship and surface-to-air missiles.

iHe added, however, that the surface-to-ship missiles would not be fired against vessels in the gulf "except for an untoward incident instigated by an enemy," IRNA reported. Iran reportedly has Chinese-made Silkworm anti-ship missiles with a range of SO miles positioned on the northern side of the Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the gulf. The missiles could hit any vessel negotiating the narrow passage. In related naval activity, a carrier-led French squadron bound for the region entered the Suez Canal today from the Mediterranean. A canal officer identified the French units as the aircraft carrier Clemenceau, the missile-launching frigates Suffren and Duquesne and the replenishment oil tanker Meuse.

France already has three warships in the gulf. France severed diplomatic relations with Iran on July 17 in a row that began when Paris police sought to question an Iranian embassy translator in connection with a series of bombings. On the first day of the "Martyrdom" exercises, Iranian speedboats attacked dummy "enemy ships" and anti-aircraft fire crackled along the Iranian coast. Ship- stood at the time that this would happen," Waldrop said. "I think they wanted their money, and rightly so, and they wanted some legal pressure exerted to get it, but I don't think they wanted to throw the company out in the street." Board member Jack Anderson said today that the agency is "certainly not trying to close the plant and put those people out of work.

We just want our money." He said Armstrong informed the board of the actions he had taken. Anderson said he thinks the dispute might be settled at tonight's meeting, making the court action unnecessary. Anderson said that would be preferable. Mayfield Manufacturing attorney E. Dan Sharp said he would accept a proposal dropping the forcible detainer suit and continuing the circuit court action.

"Dick Armstrong said he wasn't interested in closing down the plant, he just wants what he says is owed the agency," Sharp said. "Everything in the forcible detainer suit is in count one of the civil suit, so there is no need for the forcible detainer." But Sharp said he is confident about his case and is ready to go to court Thursday if necessary. He aruy to tena on a nostue takeover id. "Fox has confidence we will come out of Chapter 11 and be in the market for a long time," Uptain said. Fox programs will start on KBSI with the network's weeknight "Late Show," starting at 10:30.

Fox's prime time weekend schedule will start Sept 12-13. KBSI is owned by Media Central Inc. of Chattanooga, Term. It owns or manages seven other stations in Kansas City, Huntsville, Knoxville, Jackson, Honolulu, Canton, Ohio, and Columbus, Ga. Fox Broadcasting went on the air last fall and has about 120 affiliated stations.

It's about money and that's where these kinds of disputes should be settled, and I fully support their (community development board of directors) efforts to get their money. "It's the forcible detainer suit in district court that bothers me. The sole purpose of that action is to remove Mayfield Manufacturing from the premises," he said. "That would put 375 people out of work.

We just can't stand by and let that happen. "If the judge rules in favor of Dick Armstrong (community development agency director) then he has no choice but to evict them. I would like to see it not go to court at all. But there's really not much the council can do. We could like to try to mitigate the situation and seek some alternatives to eviction," Waldrop said.

He added that he doesn't think the agency board of directors realized that eviction was an option when it authorized Armstrong to take action to collect the delinquent payments.

"We will continue to operate in a normal way in the gulf," he told a news conference in Washington. But other officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. Navy would not begin escorting the reflagged Kuwaiti tanker Bridgeton on its 500-mile return trip through the gulf until next week, after the Iranian exercises conclude.

Iranian television on Tuesday showed Iranian speedboats darting through the gulf, their crews perched behind heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Tehran radio, meanwhile, said naval units of the irregular Revolutionary Guards, devout followers of Khomeini, approached three American ships escorting the Bridgeton and its companion, the Gas Prince, last week through the gulf. It did not say where or when. The radio said the Iranian ships approached the warships and carried out reconnaissance operations, showing that "U.S. warships have considerable weaknesses." The Gas Prince and its Navy escorts passed through the Strait of Hormuz hours before the Iranian exercises began Monday night.

U.S. military officials said an Iranian frigate tailed the convoy, but stayed several miles behind. said he is also anxious to go to court in the civil suit. "Even if the board agreed with what we said we owed and offered to drop both suits, I would recommend that we litigate the civil suit," Sharp said. "There are some issues involved that need to be straightened out, and based on our research into the company's records, I will probably amend our answer to the suit and file a counter claim." Paducah attorney David Denton, who represents the community development board, was unavailable for comment this morning.

Attempts to reach other members of the board also were unsuccessful. If the matter isn't settled, the forcible detainer suit will be heard by Judge Royce Buck on Thursday. The suit alleges, among other things, that Mayfield Manufacturing Co. owes Urban Renewal about $48,000 for 11 months back rent. Sharp said in a press conference Monday that the company only owes the agency for five months back rent about $22,000 and that when attempts were made to pay it, Urban Renewal refused to accept the money.

From itafl and wire service reports Fairness doctrine supporters say the Federal Communications Commission decision to abolish the 38-year-old policy strikes at the heart of the law requiring broadcasters to serve the public interest. Media groups, including area broadcasters, said Tuesday's landmark decision is an important step toward giving broadcast journalists the same First Amendment guarantees that have protected the print media. Most broadcasters say they will handle that freedom "professionally and fairly." Dan Steele of WPSD-TV said the fairness doctrine was unnecessary. "I think station managers around the country are responsible and believe it is in their best interest to give both sides of the story," said Steele, station administrative manager-program director.

"It has always been our policy to cover both sides of a story." Ron Gentry, owner of WYMC radio in Mayfield and WYMC-FM in Wickliffe, said removal of the fairness doctrine will give broadcasters "the same freedom the press has. The broadcasters will be don't believe we need the force of law to police us to be fair." Gary Morse, general manager of Paducah radio WKYX-WKYQ, said the decision won't affect news coverage at his stations. "A responsible journalist is going to get all sides of an issue and present them," he said. However, Morse said removal of the fairness doctrine may "give us some freedom to editorialize, especially concerning local candidates." Morse said he could envision some stations in big cities "becoming very biased in a certain area and really pushing that home. I can see that happening, but there won't be any appreciable difference in how we approach the news." Joe Rose, a Murray State University political scientist, said the fairness doctrine probably represented "the best under a bad situation.

The government grants a license to a broadcaster to use a frequency for private gain. That, in effect, creates a monopoly. "It was argued that if you are going to be granted a monopoly, then there should be some degree of regulation in the public's interest." Meanwhile, members of Congress promised to accelerate efforts to write into law the doctrine that requires broadcasters to present contrasting views of controversial issues. They claim the FCC's action Car dealers out for blood in competition Seven local car dealerships battled each other for more than just new car sales today during a Red Cross Blood Drive. Employees tried to beat each other in stacking up pints of blood at the American Red Cross Center, 546 Lone Oak Road.

The competition was a "last-minute" effort after two scheduled drives were canceled, said Susan Whittington, consultant for donor resources development. "The summer months are extremely critical for blood supplies," Whittington said. "For some reason people just seem to stop giving blood." Blood supplies at 17 hospitals served by the Paducah office have dropped as low as 64 percent. "That is just too dangerous. If something came up there could be a crisis," Whittington said.

Dealers participating in today's competition were Allan Rhodes, Chuck Mullen, Gardner, McNulty, Paducah Ford, Tommy Blair and Wilson. Kentucky Fried Chicken and Munal's Doughnuts supplied refreshments. Clarification The preliminary plan submitted to the Paducah Planning Commission Monday by The Cafaro Co. was for construction of a Phar-Mor pharmacy-grocery at the Kentucky Oaks Mall and not a fifth anchor store, as was reported Tuesday. The site plan, however, indicated that a Venture Department Store is to be constructed behind the mall.

Previous plans showed only a proposed fifth department store. It was the first time a prospective tenant was named. The story quoted J.J. Cafaro as saying that no contract has been signed with Venture and negotiations are under way with at least two firms for a fifth department store. Additional plans would have to be submitted before a fifth store could be built.

involved," including the Contras. Under previous appropriations from Congress, the Contras are to receive aid from the United States through Sept. 30. The proposed agreement would halt further aid requests if the Sandinistas accept the U.S. terms.

Wright's plan also calls for: An immediate cease-fire, subject to verification by the Organization of American States or an international observer group, negotiated as soon as possible. An immediate suspension of all U.S. military aid to the Contras with Nicaragua halting aid from the Communist bloc when the cease-fire is in place. The Nicaraguan state of emergency being suspended and civil rights and liberties being restored. An independent commission would be set up to organize free elections, with a 60-day timetable.

Withdrawal of foreign military personnel and advisers from Nicaragua and its immediate neighbors, to be negotiated by the countries of the region. Under the plan, negotiations among the United States, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua will begin on reducing the sizes of the region's standing armies and security guarantees against outside support for insurgent forces. The United States will also enter bilateral talks with regional governments, including Nicaragua, on security issues. A regional security agreement shall be worked out within 60 days, with the OAS as a signatory and guarantor. to have the money to keep up with school systems around us.

Right now, I think we have the best teaching staff in the state and I want us to keep it that way." A study by the Kentucky Education Association showed the average salary of a Paducah teacher last year was $22,824, compared to $24,217 in the McCracken County system. The state average was $22,467. Allen also told board members at Tuesday's meeting that a hearing is set for Sept. 1 in Frankfort on the board's request to annex two pieces of property from the county school system. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Alice McDonald approved the annexation, but the county board appealed to the state board.

if that's strong enough language to our athletes," Buchanan said. "The way it's worded, a student can make four Ds and an and still be eligible. I don't think that's strong enough." He said he thinks KSHAA will someday toughen its standards. In Tuesday's meeting, board member Robert Harriford said, "If this policy had been practiced nationwide for the last several years, we wouldn't have the problems that exist in some colleges today (with athletes). In many cases, athletics have been a major factor that led to a student's success.

I think this can only help." Jeep abandoned after Tuesday theft MAYFIELD, Ky. A 1981 Scrambler Jeep belonging to Richard A. Watson, Mayfield Rt. 2, was stolen from his house and abandoned nearby between 9:45 and 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Graves County Deputy Sheriff Ronnie Lear said the vehicle was driven 150 yards from the house into a utility pole. The vehicle was valued at $5000. By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON President Reagan today announced "a general agreement" with congressional leaders to press ahead with military aid for Contra rebels unless the leftist government of Nicaragua accepts a cease-fire and democratic reforms. Key Democratic leaders in Congress, however, said they support a "good faith" diplomatic effort to bring peace to Central America but have made no commitments to support military aid to the Contras if the effort fails.

And Secretary of State George Shultz, who accompanied Reagan to the White House briefing room to make the announcement, said there was no assurance Nicaragua would accept the U.S. terms. Moreover, opposition Contra leaders said they welcomed the plan but were not willing yet to say they accepted it entirely, indicating they had some reservations. Reagan said the U.S. offer would be presented to a summit of Central American nations including Nicaragua meeting in Guatemala.

The plan was announced by Reagan and Shultz after an hour-long meeting of the president and congressional leaders, including the speaker of the House, Jim Wright of Texas, who was the key architect of the plan. Shultz said the key ingredient of the agreement involved Nicaragua's acceptance of a cease-fire "on terms acceptable to the parties TAX Continued from page 1 teacher salaries should be increased to prevent the loss of teachers to higher paying school districts. With a teacher shortage projected in Kentucky in a few years, competition for teachers will increase. "I want us to have a goal that by 1990, our salaries equal those of surrounding school systems," Kres-senberg said. Board member Bruce Tuten said higher salaries would be the top priority after paying for the new school.

Manchester said raising salaries "should have been done a long time ago it is long overdue. We've got PLAN Continued from page 1 academic rules for extracurricular activities. Students there and in other states with similar guidelines "have quit taking the tough courses," he said. "They know they're going to have to pass to play." The problem, Morris said, is that a student may avoid chemistry in high school, yet need that background for a science major in college. Lyon County school superintendent Tom Buchanan said he isn't sure Paducah has the right answer, but something must be done to toughen grade requirements, particularly for athletes.

A board member of the Kentucky State High School Athletic Association, he said KSHAA's guidelines are too lenient. Association rules say that to be eligible for sports, a student must have a minimum grade in four classes after his first year, in nine classes after his sophomore year and in 14 classes after his junior year.
