"School's getting rough," said the league.

Of 700 cities responding to a survey covering August and September, percent said there hail been a noticeable increase in school violence over the past five years. Seventeen percent said violence had gone down or was not a problem. The rest said it was about the same. Counting communities of all sizes, one-fourth reported student deaths or injuries requiring hospitalization within the previous year as a result of violence. The figures were most likely to be bad in big cities: 41 percent for cities of 100,000 or more, 32 percent for cities of fiO.OOO to 100,000 and 19 percent for cities, under 50,000.

The largest cities were also 'I believe my decisions were fair and just. We should put cases and decisions behind us and move on. B. JAMES WOOLSEY, CIA DIKKCTOE Europe were being compromised, and in some cases executed as traitors. The CIA has said at least 10 of its agents abroad were executed.

Ames, who was arrested last February and sentenced last April to life in prison, has admitted he sold U.S. national security secrets to Moscow for more than eight years, starting in 1985. He was a JJ 1-year veteran of the spy agency. Sen. Dennis DeConcini, chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said in an interview that Woolsey should not be blamed for In a 117-page report, the Senate Intelligence Committee provided the most detailed description yet published of what it called a "disaster of Unprecedented proportions," a setback that will take years to fully recover from.

While stating that Woolsey's disciplinary action against 1 1 senior managers for their handling of the Ames case was too mild given the seriousness of tiie problem, the committee made no suggestion that he should resign. The report said Woolsey should be allowed more time to make the changes he has promised, including measures to strengthen the counterintelligence, or Mahogany Chippendale DR set Carved Hall Tree Ivory jade carvings Mahogany Pine Secretary DesK Intricate carved display cabinet Large leather top desk Oak Murphy bed wash stands Collection of snuff bottles cioisonne pes.

"Where Woolsey has failed is in implementing changes that might mitigate against this happening in the future," DeConcini said. The CIA realized as early as the fall of 1985 that it was losing Soviet William Casey, then the CIA director, ordered an unidentified senior official to look into the problem. By fall 1986 an internal CIA report said 45 Soviet and East European cases had been compromised a virtual shutoff of informants. The report said an intense and focused "mole hunt" did not get under way until 1991.

It singled out former CIA directors Casey, William Webster and Robert Gates and former acting CIA director Richard Kerr who were in charge of the agency during the 1986-91 period as the officials who "must ultimately bear the responsibility for the lack of an adequate investigative response." The report said Webster and Gates were briefed on the compromised operations in 1988 "but did not delve deeply into either the nature of the problem" or what was being done to resolve it. internal spy-catching, function that Ejfled so miserably to detect Ames' treachery. Noting that Sen. Howard M. Metzenbaum, i the only member of the Intelligence Committee to publicly call for his resignation, Woolsey said at a news conference in Pittsburgh on Tuesday that he had no intention of quitting.

"We should put cases and decisions behind us and move on to the challenges of managing counterintelligence." The Senate report indirectly challenged Woolsey's stated justification for not taking stronger disciplinary action, namely that an extensive investigation by the CIA's inspector general found no gross negligence. The Senate report, by contrast, said all 17 committee members agreed that there was gross negligence "both individually and institutionally, in creating and perpetuating the environment in which HERE'S WHAT KARPAN SULLIVAN SAID LAST Winds damage hundreds of buildings in Baltimore like the end of the world," said Angela Jones, who was in her kitchen with friends when the roof blew off their apartment building.

An Open Letter to Wyoming Voters As citizens, we hope all of you will exercise your precious right to vote on Election Day Tuesday. As co-chairs of the ClintonGore presidential campaign in Wyoming, we'd like to tell you why we believe Bill Clinton is the candidate to lead America and Wyoming into the 21st century.

You've heard us refer to the Wyoming Connection in describing our state's mystique and its links to people throughout this land. Bill Clinton has a special connection to Wyoming. As Governor and Secretary of State, we were among the first public officials in the nation to endorse Bill Clinton's candidacy last December. In March, Wyoming Democrats were the first to give Bill a victory outside the South. And on October 21, Bill Clinton demonstrated his commitment to Wyoming and the West by campaigning here less than two weeks before the election.

Bill Clinton has our support because he represents a new kind of leadership for our country and a new kind of Democratic Party. People want fundamental change in government, not just fresh faces. They reject both the extreme right wing, with its belief that all government is bad unless it is helping a select few, and the extreme left wing, with its belief in big government and big spending. We don't need bigger government; we need better government and new leadership for a new global economy. That's why we're supporting Bill Clinton in 1992.

We've worked closely with Bill in the National Governors' Association, the Democratic Leadership Council and on the Democratic Platform Committee. He comes from a 'small state' which we view as a positive rather than a negative, and he understands the problems of the people. We know his character and abilities, and we trust him. We respect the fact not everyone in Wyoming agrees with our assessment. But we are saddened that some oppose Bill Clinton only out of blind fear of the unknown, spurred on by nameless, faceless fear mongers who suggest that 'to vote for Bill Clinton is to sin against God' or the carefully orchestrated attacks in the media.

It has been a negative campaign of unprecedented proportions, lifting the Willie Horton approach to an art form. That is not the way we do politics in Wyoming. We ask Wyoming voters to reject the politics of fear and negativism and look instead at what the candidates will do FOR America in the coming four years. We believe the choice is clear. That choice is Bill Clinton.
