Kater should be freed until he is tried a fourth time in the 1978 murder of 15-year-old Mary Lou Arruda.

GAY An unmarked Boston police cruiser containing a police-issued gun was stolen yesterday morning from behind a car dealership on Hallet Street in Dorchester, then recovered last night in a Mattapan parking lot, police said. The car belonged to an undercover officer with the Drug Control Unit, who had left his 9mm Glock pistol, badge, bulletproof vest, a "ram" used to enter buildings and a Motorola radio in the car, police spokesman Thomas Santry said. The car was recovered at 8:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Capitol Electric in Mattapan Square. A preliminary check of the car revealed no missing items.

Man charged with threat to trooper A Belmont man was held without bail yesterday on a charge of threatening to kill a state trooper assigned to a Drug Enforcement Administration task force. US Magistrate Judge Zachary Karol ordered Michael P. Fosher held for at least one week. Fosher had been free on bail from a Brookline case in which he is charged with armed assault. Fosher allegedly made the threat to a guard who prohibited him from visiting an inmate at the Middlesex County Jail in East Cambridge.

3d man sentenced in MIT murder CAMBRIDGE A 20-year-old Cambridge man, who assisted in the robbery and slaying of an MIT student from Norway and later testified against two co-defendants, was sentenced yesterday to 12 to 20 years in prison. Alfredo Velez was the third and final person sentenced for the Sept. 18, 1992, stabbing and robbery of 22-year-old Yngve Raus-tein on Memorial Drive in Cambridge and the robbery of Raustein's friend, Arne Fredheim. The attack netted $33. Velez pleaded guilty to manslaughter and armed robbery in Middlesex Superior Court.

Transplant law signed by Weld Calling the procedure some women's final hope for survival, Gov. Weld yesterday signed into law legislation that forces health insurance companies to pay for bone marrow transplants for women with advanced breast cancer. Charlotte Turner, 47, of Milford, whose unsuccessful battle with her insurer to get coverage for the treatment provided momentum for passage of the law, said the change has probably come too late for her. But the tearful registered nurse added, "We know that it's there for my daughter and granddaughter, at least. That's important." Some insurers have refused to provide coverage, considering the treatment still too experimental with a low chance of survival.

Roosevelt seeks Lottery revenue Rep. Mark Roosevelt (D-Boston), who is seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, yesterday proposed raising state Lottery profit distributions to cities and towns by $166 million annually over five years. The Education Committee chairman said he supports ending by 1999 any state use of proceeds from the Lottery. It was established 22 years ago to offset local property taxes but state officials began raiding it in the mid-1980s to keep the budget balanced, with the diversions now running close to $150 million. Jury ponders case of winning ticket Is Robert Lane a thief, as law enforcement and state lottery officials say, or is he a $2 million winner, as Lane asserts? After a two-day tri al, jurors in Norfolk Superior Court are expected today to begin deliberating the fate of Lane, who was charged with attempted larceny and receiving stolen property after he presented a winning ticket in the state's Holiday Bonus game, Jan.

4, 1993, to lottery officials in Braintree. The officials said that Lane's ticket was stolen, along with 134 other lottery tickets, from the Happy Superette on Humboldt Avenue in Rox-bury. Lane says he bought the ticket at the convenience store. DAPADni Sale Price $1399 DHbHnUI Mail-in Coupon -3 00 f19 CAPTAIN MORGAN RDM Bay By Efrain Hernandez Jr. GLOBE STAFF LAWRENCE Eduardo Crespo, who came to Lawrence from Ecuador in 1966, believes Hispanics should maintain pride in their native homelands while recognizing there is strength in unity.

"We have our own history, our heroes, our own music" in Ecuador, said Crespo, president of Crespo Associates advertising company. "But I look at the commonalities that unite us." Hispanics, he said "have got to think more globally now." In Massachusetts, where there are about 290,000 Hispanics, the diverse group includes residents with ties to places like Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, El Salvador, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Honduras and Peru. In many ways, the different backgrounds are seen as a strength, primarily because the groups are united by their use of the Spanish language and similar customs. But the differences also create rivalries and resentments. At a time when jobs are scarce and the poverty faced by Hispanics in Massachusetts is considered the worst Hispanic poverty in the nation, the divisions can be especially sharp.

"When things are not happening the right way, people always try to blame somebody else for their misfortune," said Crespo, 44, a longtime activist. "There may be some friction." Puerto Ricans account for an estimated 146,000 people, or more than 50 percent of the total number of Hispanics in the state, based on the latest US Census figures. Other groups include Dominicans, who account for an estimated 30,177 residents, or about 10 percent of the total; Mexicans, 12,922, or nearly 5 percent; Salvadorans, 9,428, and Colombians, 8,864, each at about 3 percent; and Cubans, 7,621, or about 2.5 percent. Thousands of Hispanics who did not specify their family's place of origin were categorized by the Census as "other Hispanic." The problems, some activists say, at times stem directly from the differences among the Hispanic groups. Others say the non-Hispanic establishment encourages self-criticism and rivalry in order to keep the community weak.

To residents like Gilda Duran, president of Insurance Co. and a native of the Dominican Republic, the best thing to do is work hard and try to help the Hispanic community as a whole. "I think the Hispanic community needs to be more educated where investment is concerned," said Duran, 33. "What pains me is the lack of basic education." Jorge Santiago, 40, executive director of Centro Pana-mericano social service agency, who is of Puerto Rican descent, said the achievements could be outstanding if the various groups focused more clearly on their similarities. "It's really a strength because, if you look at it, we encompass all the racial and ethnic groups of the world," Santiago said.

"It's a beautiful thing." SOilD ADVICE: Read Ann, Beth, Miss M. and others. Every day in The Globe. Che Boston 6lobe living Arte (..,. ii 400-1818 tor I Home Delivery.
