Stanford defense begins By CAROLE NISBET WARFORDSBURG Wil-liam Printz, of Factoryville, was hired unanimously by Southern Fulton school board members Thursday as the district's superintendent starting Jan. 1. Printz, 41, who will replace retiring superintendent Franklin Geist will receive a five-year contract for $37,000 a year plus a $64,000 long term insurance policy. Printz has been superintendent of the Lackawanna Trail School District, near Scran-ton, since 1982.

Wright said he searched drawers in a tedroom where Beatty previously had stored the drug, and then left the trailer with Stanford. Wright said in testimony that when they left the mobile home, Beatty was sitting on the bathroom floor, with no visible wounds or blood.

STANFORD LATER admitted to stabbing Beatty, according to Wright, and showed him a bloodstained knife. Against the background of Wright's testimony, prosecuting attorney Frederic G. Antoun literally stacked physical evidence in the case at the witness stand. Photographs of the mobile home, presented by Harding and depicting the blood -spattered interior of the residence, the shattered side door and blood stains in the snow outside were shown to the jury, along with a detailed explanation of a diagram of the mobile home. In addition, the prosecution offered as evidence a blood-stained blue and-white-checked pillowcase with two eye-sized holes cut near one corner, found on the ground near the mobile home, and a second pillowcase of the same make and design found in a pantry at Stanford's Hollywell Avenue residence.

ANTOUN ALSO presented a mason's hammer and an envelope con-taining $160, both of which Harding described as articles given him by Wright.

Winners Trojan seniors haven't known losing Sports, Page 8 loses battle LOMA LINDA, Calif. (AP) Baby Fae, who made medical history and generated ethical questions as she fought for life for three weeks with the heart of a baboon beating in her tiny chest, died after her kidneys began to fail. She was barely a month old.

The 5-pound infant, born with a fatally deformed heart, outlived by more than two weeks any of the four adults who had undergone animal transplants and lived longer with the transplanted heart than she had with her own. "Baby Fae died at 9 p.m.," Ed Wines, vice president for public relations and development for Loma Linda University Medical Center, said Thursday night, reading from a doctors' statement. Her parents, who kept the identity of their daughter secret throughout the three weeks of intense publicity that surrounded the surgery and forced them into counseling, were consoled by doctors and clergy after their daughter died, Wines said. Baby Fae had been in serious but stable condition Thursday, but her kidney function deteriorated and around 7 p.m. she required dialysis, Wines said.

Doctors had been saying Baby Fae was recovering from an attempt by her body to reject the baboon heart she received on Oct. 26. She was on a respirator and had been receiving immunosuppresant drugs, including one that affects kidney function, but Wines did not say what caused her kidney problems. Baby Fae received the heart at the Seventh-Day Adventist university in an operation pioneered by Dr. Leonard Bailey.

Although Bailey had refused to predict how long Baby Fae might live, he said in an interview published today by the American Medical Association that he believed Baby Fae might be able to leave the hospital in three months and never need a human heart. "I really believe that (Baby Fae) will celebrate more than one birthday with her new heart," Bailey said in that interview. Baby Fae was born in mid-October in Barstow, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. She suffered from hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a fatal underdevelopment of the heart that afflicts about one in 12,000 newborns. For two weeks after the transplant, Baby Fae steadily improved, and her condition improved from critical to serious but stable.

She was taken off a respirator, then weaned from an oxygen tent and intravenous feedings. She guzzled infant formula as her mother rocked her in a rocking chair. The transplant stirred controversy both in the medical community and among animal rights activists, the latter calling the surgery "ghoulish tinkering." But informal polls showed public opinion was supportive, and she got letters from well-wishers around the world. Discovery back with satellites KENNEDY SPACE CENTER (GNS) With a pair of "flitiht proven" satellites in her cargo hold, space shuttle Discovery touched down in the orange light of dawn this morning after eight days in space. The 122-foot winged rocket glided out of cloud-shrouded skies at 7 a.m.

EST, a little more than 1 1 minutes after the sun rose over the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The landing was preceded by a classic double sonic boom as the reusable spacecraft broke the sound barrier over this central Florida countryside. "The words 'fantastic, come to mind," said shuttle director Jesse Moore. With no second chance available, Commander Frederick Hauck guided the unpowered space glider onto a three mile concrete runway here that is rimmed with a palmetto grove filled with egrets, eagles and alligators. It was the second straight landing at Kennedy, a milestone for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which wants to see shuttle landings at the launch site become routine because they save a week or more, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, in "turnaround" costs.

The alternative is to land at Edwards Air Force Base, and ferry the shuttle back to Kennedy at great expense for the next launching. "Two (landings) in a row here at Kennedy and Discovery looks like she's in excellent shape with the cargo bay about as full as it was when we took off," Moore said. Discovery carried home the Palapa and Westar satellites that astronauts Joseph Allen and Dale Gardner captured in untethered spacewalks earlier this week. The satellites, which were mislaunched on a shuttle mission last February, will be refurbished at an unknown cost to be relaunched next year the first used satellites to hit the auction block in space history. The mission cost NASA about $150 million.

About $31 million of that was recovered in launch fees; the rest was covered by the taxpayers. Staff Writer The prosecution today rested its case against George W. Stanford, charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Jeffrey C. Beatty during a drug robbery. Prosecution testimony included reading of a transcribed statement from a witness who later died in a motorcycle accident.

Pennsylvania State Police had more than 20 suspects in the Feb. 7 stabbing death of Beatty, Cove Gap, before self-confessed participant Robert G. Wright implicated Stanford and Mary Ann Wietry in the killing, according to testimony Thursday. STATE TPR. James Harding, investigating officer in the case, offered the testimony during the opening session of trial.

Harding outlined Wright's role in the investigation of Beatty's death and the arrests of Stanford and co-defendant Wietry during a probe by defense attorneys Philip Cosentino and Jill McCracken into a plea bargain made with Wright. Wright was one of the persons suspected in Beatty's death on the basis of prior drug involvement, Harding said, but denied that investigators were even close to making an arrest. "There was nothing special about him," Harding told the jury and presidingjudge John W. Keller. COSENTINO AND McCracken charged in opening statements that Wright who was killed in a motorcycle accident April 2 offered his statements to police in exchange for an agreement to charge him only with voluntary manslaughter for his role in Beatty's death.

Stanford and Wietry were charged with murder, theft, robbery and conspiracy. "He did not come forward out of civic responsibility," Cosentino told the six-man, six-woman jury. "He knew the police were onto him, and he had time to put his ducks in order." Despite repeated objections by the defense, a transcript of Wright's testimony at a March preliminary hearing for Stanford was introduced into evidence, and read to the jury. COSENTINO TOLD the jury to watch for inconsistencies, gaps and lies in Wright's transcribed testimony, and predicted that the dead man's statement would "collapse under its own weight." Wright said at the hearing that a planned drug roblwry at Beatty's Timber Lane mobile home escalated into an altercation between Stanford and Beatty that resulted in the stabbing. Beatty had sold cocaine to Wright eight to 10 times during the past six months, according to Wright's testimony.

Wietry remained in the trio's car, according to Wright's testimony, while he and Stanford went to the residence. Stanford entered the door first, according to Wright, and immediately began to wrestle with Beatty on the entry floor. Beatty was on top of Stanford when, Wright said, he intervened. "I TAPPED him (Beatty) on the head with the wooden handle of the hammer," Wright said. Wright said he left the pair struggling on the floor and went out a soaked thermal undershirt In-anng holes in the chest and hack as the one removed from Beatty's body prior to the autopsy.

Earlier testimony showed that Beatty summoned medical aid after Star Flyers pay tribute to retired Bobby Clarke Sports, Page 1 7 I if1 the stabbing, but apparently died while an ambulance was on the way to his home. Wietry, who told the court she expects to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy tocommit theft in the case, testified that a friend staying in her apartment found a long -blad-ed knife and a green ski mask wrapped in a towel on a shelf in her bedroom closet Feb. 8. WIETRY TESTIFIED that the bundle was left in the closet. "1 figured whoever's it was would come back for it," she said.

No one returned for the knife, Wietry said, but Stanford asked later that she bring it to him at his house. Wietry returned the knife to Stanford, she said, and told him she didn't want anything to do with the situation. "He said I was going to be his alibi, that he was at my house all night," she recounted for the jury, "and when I said no, he called me a chicken. I said, 'Damn right I'm a Wietry, who was described by Antoun as being "along for the ride" on the night of the stabbing, said she had been drinking and using drugs, and remembered little of the trip. UNDER QUESTIONING by An toun, Wietry described a conversation between Stanford and Wright at her apartment earlier that day, in which she overheard the words "cocaine" and "ripoff." Prosecution testimony was scheduled to resume this morning.
