Kirk was a Conservative member of the House of Commons and his party's top man in the European parliament. "The strain of representing a constituency and doing a job in Europe is too much," said Kenneth Baker, Kirk's election agent. "We are needlessly sacrificing valuable LONDON (LTD Members of Britain's parliament today complained their work is killing them.

"It is more than the human frame can bear," said Renee Short, a Labor member of Parliament, following the weekend death from a heart attack of Sir Peter Kirk, 48. His death was blamed on pressure and overwork. Kirk was the sixth member of Parliament to die in two years, all of heart trouble. Among them were Foreign Secretary Anthony Crosland, who died at 58, and Brian O'Malley, killed by a heart attack at 46. Kirk had suffered a heart attack last year but continued to work both as a legislator and as representative to the the Common Market's parliament in Luxembourg.

He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and three sons." VANCOUVER Ik "It's the rules, sir," said the patrolman to U.S. deputy attorney-general Peter Flaherty as he wrote Flaherty a ticket for illegal parking in downtown Pittsburgh. Flaherty, while mayor of Pittsburgh, had declared no one would be exempt from parking tickets. Last week he resigned to become deputy attorney-general, but the rule still applies. A lawyer for the son of comedian Grou-cho Marx says the 86-year-old actor's life may be in danger.

Meanwhile a private detective hired by Marx's companion says he found syringes and drugs near Marx's home. The detective, Norman Perle, said he was hired by Erin Fleming, Marx's secretary-companion for seven years, to search her home and Marx's for eavesdropping devices she suspected were planted there by Marx's son Arthur. 1 Fleming wants to be named conservator of Marx's interests. A lawyer for son Arthur says the discovery of the drugs raises concerns about "Groucho Marx's East German head of state Erich Honecker has awarded wife Margot the country's highest national award, the Order of Karl Marx, for her work as education minister since 1963. Also receiving end honors was actor John Wayne, who gets the University of Southern California's highest alumni award.

Wayne, who attended the university in 1927, was presented with the Asa V. Call achievement award for his film career, which "brought honor to the university." Some of the art works of Gary Gilmore, the convicted murderer executed by a Utah firing squad, may be displayed in a travelling show before being auctioned off. The 50 paintings and drawings are He probably doesn't need it but Raymond J. Patriarca, son of reputed New England crime boss Raymond L.S. Patriarca, has won $10,000 in the Rhode Island Instant Baseball lottery.

Patriarca attributed his good fortunte to purchasing 50 tickets on the theory that "they throw a lot of winners into the first bunch of tickets they sell so they'll be able to generate publicity." Lottery deputy director Raymond Grimes countered that "winners are distributed evenly, all the way through." Named Man of The Era at a testimonial banquet in his honor was Los Angeles Philharmonic music director Zubin Mehta as he left for the New York Philharmonic. Actor Kirk Douglas was master of ceremonies while comedian Bob Hope was honorary chairman. U.S. presidential brother Billy Carter says he lives with his national image as the administration's court jester. Carter, who finds it hard to say no, says he gets 30 or 40 invitations a week to various functions and many times that number of letters.

Following a recent racial joke made to a black, Carter said: "Hell no, I ain't going to apologize. He and I talked for a half-hour afterwards and he didn't say a thing about an apology until the next day." Cathleen Douglas, lawyer wife of retired U.S. Supreme Court justice William Douglas, said she had hoped her husband would be replaced by a woman but now has high hopes the "next justice will be a woman." Speaking at a Western Washington State College symposium, she said: "If there is one message my husband would want me to bring to this group today, it would be to be an individual to stand up for what you believe." Police, rock fans clash MIAMI (AP) About 200 rock music fans waiting to buy concert tickets extensively. damaged the inside of the Orange Bowl before police drove them out. About 100 policemen were called to the stadium Sunday after some members of the crowd of about 1,000 persons became unruly, said assistant police chief Adam Klimkowski.

He said tear gas was used "in self defence" after rocks and bottles were thrown at officers. About 1,000 persons had been waiting all night Saturday for a gate to open to buy $10 tickets for a June 3 Tampa concert of the Led Zeppelin. AP Wircphoto GROUCHO MARX AND FRIEND ERIN working things out owned by three residents of Oregon and lawyer Richard Parker said he is considering the travelling show idea. "People who have seen them say they see tome of Gilmore's longings in the drawings," said Parker. CHAPTER 3 TOMORROW CHAPTER 4 THE STORY OF UN BALLO IN MASCHERA (THE MASKED BALL) The gallows hill outside the city.

It is almost midnight and Amelia cloaked and veiled, has come to look for the herb which will release her from her guilty love. She is terrified of the gallows but forces herself to approach. Midnight strikes and she prays for help. The king has followed her and he pours but his love which is stronger than the remorse for betraying his friend. He forces Amelia to confess that she loves him.

Someone approaches and Amelia covers her face. Ankarstroem enters. The assassins have heard the king has left the palace and are following him. Pleading with the king to escape quickly, Ankarstroem exchanges cloaks. The king makes Ankarstroem swear to escort the veiled lady back to the city gates without speaking to her and they each give voice to their fear.

The king rushes away as Ribbing and Horn with their followers enter, ready to kill him, only to be faced with Ankarstroem who tries to shield the unknown woman from their taunts. He draws his sword. Furiously they are about to attack him when Amelia rushes between them, and in doing so, drops her veil. The conspirators laugh derisively at the sight of Ankar-stroem's wife. Shattered at the revelation of the king's treachery, Ankarstroem asks Ribbing and Horn to come to his house later in the day.

They agree and withdraw, their mocking laughter echoeing back as Ankarstroem bitterly offers his wife his arm to escort her home as he promised.

The wedding started with an 11-piece orchestra playing blues and swing tunes dating back to the Glenn Miller era and trumpets heralded the start of the actual ceremony. It was the Ohio wedding of faith healer and evangelist Leroy Jenkins and former gospel singer Linda Peck, both of whose prior marriages ended in divorce.

(UPI) A Yale University psychiatrist says dozens of studies all come to the same conclusion violent television shows produce aggressive children. Dr. Robert Abramovitz says some 50 studies clearly document that television watching by children "increases their tendency to be aggressive and to seek physical means of solving problems." probably didn't like that particular marriage. In its decision, the CRTC questioned whether the transfer would be in the public interest, or whether Maclean-Hunter would be financially able to maintain the existing service.

Western holds two cable licences serving Surrey, New Westminster, Langley, Fort Langley, Abbotsford and Clearbrook. Under the terms of the proposed sale agreement, Maclean-Hunter would also have assumed Western's existing debt of $1.8 million. In hearings last January, opponents complained that the proposed sale would remove local control of an important media outlet. As well, it was argued that a cable licence should not be sold for profit since it is public property. MacDonald said he was mystified over the CRTC's reference to Maclean-Hunter's ability to finance Western.

Noting that Maclean-Hunter is a media conglomerate with large and diversified holdings, he said: "If they don't have the finances, who does?" Western Cablevision Ltd. directors will meet Tuesday to assess the future of the company now that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has rejected its application to sell Western to Maclean-Hunter Cable TV Ltd. of Toronto for $6.75 million. Western vice-president Dave Macdonald said the CRTC's decision had "caught us slightly by surprise, and we don't know yet what we're going to do. "We'll either forget it (the sale) and go back to work for a couple of years, or we'll look for someone else with whom to make a meaningful partnership." But, he said, "We don't read the CRTC's decision as meaning we can't sell the company just that they TELEVISION with DON STANLEY 3 sympathetic" than the original.

Jones presented a rather touching eccentric, the familiar absentminded inventor. The film minimized the grisly facts of his decline: nothing about the bottles in which he compulsively stored his own urine, nothing about the mysterious "clear liquid" which he injected with a syringe, generally into his groin. Was Howard "amazing" or just a crooked businessman? Since he took over his dead dad's tool company at 18, he had been giving orders in a flat tone that would have been harsh if it weren't so remote. Some of the orders were intelligent, some were not; most were trivial. The flying exploits seemed no more real than the silent stunts in Hughes' own films, and the TV movie wisely avoided any concerted attempt to express his genius as an inventor: how many movies have tried and failed to display the technicolor soul of the sensitive poet, or the painter in picturesque agony and ecstasy? Just a headline billionaire.

The early Hollywood affairs were couplings with newspaper dreams what is a starlet but a body raped by publicity? The secret years of speculative orgies turned out to be celibate. Remember how the Vancouver media reached a state of nervous excitement while Hughes sat naked in the Bayshore, watching his fingernails grow? In 1972 his telephone voice denied Clifford Irving's imaginary biography (Irving started a trend: I Caught Worms for Howard Hughes by Marginal Flunky, The Lurid Life of Howard Hughes by Wasn't There, The Real Will by Interested Parties). A panel assembled at the telephone to' inspect his voice for the authentic Texas twang. The panelists were all old newsmen. Who could identify Hughes better than the men who created him? is lSLuh UdIjlIULuJdIJ'D (SWHW Blg' Howard Hughes was once said to be worth $2.5 billion.

On March 15 a Las Vegas lawyer named William Morse estimated the Hughes estate at $168.8 million (less the fees of the ravenous lawyers). He attributed the reports of $2.5 billion to "speculation in the news media." The speculation continues Tuesday night with the second part of a TV movie called The Amazing Howard Hughes (Ch. 6, 9 p.m. Both parts ran on CBS last week). The movie is partly based on Howard, the Amazing Mr.

Hughes, a biography by Noah Dietrich and Bob Thomas. Hughes hired Dietrich as an accountant in 1925. Dietrich quit 31 years later, when he was denied a promised share of the Hughes Tool Co. His annual salary was $500,000. Previous to Hughes' death, and previous to being named the executor on one on the many wills, he sued Hughes for $51 million.

Dietrich felt a remark by Hughes in the press had defamed his character. "I sued him for $51 million, because that was like $5,000 to the ordinary man Somehow Dietrich doesn't seem to be the genial good-fellow of the movie, an eminently sane lieutenant who shakes his head with amusement after one of Hughes' colorful escapades. It wasn't made clear if Dietrich was involved in the less charming escapades, when it came time to bribe the politician or perform dirty tricks for the CIA. What would it be like to pimp for Hughes? The movie lacks any moral sense. Perhaps the producers shook their heads and winked as easily as Dietrich.

They avoided the squabbles that still retain heat: the grotesque wills, or the sinister Mormons who either guarded or imprisoned Hughes in his last years. The Mormons escape with a characterization as trustworthy non-drinkers. The producers feared lawsuits, or else they just lacked imagination. The movie ends when Hughes' death is announced at a Las Vegas casino; after a half-hearted minute of silence, the gambling goes merrily on. The incident is borrowed almost intact from a book by James Phelan called Howard Hughes: The Hidden Years.

That same incident was used as the capper in the Phelan excerpts printed in a Time cover story. Tommy Lee Jones, the talented actor who played Hughes in the film, said his Hughes was "probably more TV highlights 7, Ch. 10 Krapp's Last Tape: Alan Davis in the Beckett play. 7:30, Ch. 10 Tax Talk: It's not fair.
