Temperatures National, World Briefs More Pre-School Molest Charges LOS ANGELES (AP) Pro-sec tor i on Wednesday filed 92 additional counts of child molestation against the 76-year-old founder of a preschool and six former teachers who already have been charged with more than 100 child-molestation counts. We have children talking about all seven defendants actually performing acts of molestation, said Deputy District Attorney Glenn Stevens. Were alleging that all of the acts took place by force or by threat of force. Virginia McMartin, her daughter, grandson, granddaughter and three other former teachers at the Virginia McMartin Pre-School in suburban Manhattan Beach already have been arraigned on 115 counts of rape, sodomy, and other felony child-molesting charges. The new felony molestation charges represent alleged abuses against 42 children.

Also, a count was lodged against each of the seven defendants for conspiracy to commit lewd and lascivious acts by force on a child under the age of 14. Eight Dead In Explosion ABBEYSTEAD, England (AP) An explosion in an underground chamber ripped the roof from a water pumping plant Wednesday night while parish councilmen were touring the facility, and officials said at least eight people were feared dead. Emergency service officials said early Thursday that about nine people were missing and 35 were hurt in the blast near this northwest England village. In the underground concrete chamber were the councilmen from the village of St. Michaels on Wyre, 10 miles away, and visiting Water Authority workers who were being shown round the plant.

Paris, Texas Cited at Cannes PARIS (AP) Paris, Texas," a movie about an -amnesiac trying to remember his wife and child, was awarded the Golden Palm at the end of the 37th annual Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. German director Wim Wenders, 38, said he was inspired by Homers Oddysey" in filming the intimate story in the small Texas town named after the French captial. The movie is about a man who returns home and tries to find his family, Wenders explained. It is the transcendental -story of a man who disturbs the of things by jumping on his own shadow. Man Collapses; Students Collapse MANCHESTER, N.H.

(AP) -Seventeen elementary school children were rushed to hospitals Wednesday with apparent heat exhaustion from standing outside during a school ceremony, police said. Capt. Peter Favreau said the children began dropping to the ground after a serviceman speaking to them about a Memorial Day ceremony fell to the ground first and was taken to a hospital. Favreau said he suspected the problems suffered by pupils at Highland-Goffs Falls School were not too serious and may have been a sympathetic reaction to the servicemans plight. They were all mustered on the school grounds outside and this guy apparently crapped out on the ground right in front of the kids, Favreau said.

And after the ambulance arrived, the kids started dropping. Favreau said the temperature was about 80. from the mouth. But Bos and Cunningham ordered the body taken to the Davis Funeral Home in Springfield, where the blood was cleaned away and two bullet holes In both cheeks were found in the head. Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Dr.

Paul Morrow, who performed the autopsy on said the relatively small bullet wounds came from a .22 or .25 caliber weapon. Further tests were being made on the buUets recovered from the body, he said. Bos said Call was found face down in a pool of blood. He said there was blood on the inside of Calls late model Renault car, as well as on the outside of it. The county prosecutor said police are working on a theory of robbery, but he noted that while Calls wallet was apparently missing, a small television set was found on the front seat of the car and there was change found in his pants pocket.

While Bos said police were focusing their energies on Paul, he said they were following a pretty tenuous lead. Hes wanted in two states for murder. The other similarities are his modus operandi, the prosecutor said. Everything else- is speculation. He said Dr.

Cunningham originally thought Call had died of a burst aneurism. We couldnt find any obvious injuries," he said. Bos said the wounds were about as big as a pencil, which he termed very small. Morrow, who performed the autopsy Wednesday morning, said the shots were fired at close range, within a foot. Further tests would determine the actual distance, he said.

Call died within minutes of being shot, the doctor said. Bos said he believed that Call was outside his car at the time he was first shot, that he slumped back against his car, and fell face forward at a 90-degree angle from his car after being shot a second time. He said he called in the mobile crime laboratory to in Almanac LOCAL TEMPERATURES Yoafardoy mf Ago High Low 41 Waamor attar day Huy (Wadnaaday, May tt WB4 Smoking (Continued from Page One) The summary of that chapter said: Cigarette smoking can make a significant measurable contribution to the level of Indoor air pollution at levels of smoking and ventilation that are common in indoor environments. Children of families with parents who smoke appear to have small, but measurable, differences in tests of pulmonary function when compared to children from families whose parents are nonsmokers. An association exists between parental smoking in the home and an increased rate of respiratory symptoms among children; these children also have an increased frequency of bronchitis and pneumonia early in life when compared to children from homes with nonsmoking parents.

When questioned after the press conference, one of the contributors to the report, Dr. Richard Bordow, a pulmonary specialist in Berkeley, and at the University of California at San Francisco, said that Koops statements were supported by Reaction (Continued from Page One) He has tried to encourage them to think of ways to live safely. Meanwhile principals at Ascutney Middle School in Ascutney and State Street Elementary School in Windsor have reacted to the murders by planning child safety programs. William Sebert, State Street Elementary School Principal, said a film would be shown. At the Ascutney Middle School Principal Gordon Schnare said he was planning to have a town police officer come in and talk to students.

Hart (Continued from Page One) Consequently, Kunin is not even running as a national delegate and a Leahy spokesman said hed be honored to have it but isnt actively pursuing the job. Joe Jamele, Leahys press aide, said the states junior senator would step, aside for any Vermont Democrat who really wanted the post: Ken Dean, coordinator of Harts Vermont campaign, is determined that the chairman of the Vermont delegation be a consensus candidate of the Hart and Jackson delegates. Hart has won about 21 primaries and caucuses. Dean said, but controls the chairmanship of only four delegations. One possible candidate for chairmanship was former Attorney General M.

Jerome Diamond of Montpelier. But Diamond, a Hart supporter, said Wednesday he wiU not run as a national delegate. About 1,500 delegates were elected in caucuses and are expected to attend the state convention. But the Hart and Mondale campaigns both fear no shows and have been aggressively calling delegates to make sure they plan to attend. The Hart campaign has sent letters to all state convention delegates and are following up with telephone calls.

The Mondale campaign has sent letters signed by Leahy, Kunin and Kathy Hoyt, Mondale state coordinator, urging all their delegates to attend. A major absentee rate Saturday from any campaign could change the way that national delegates are allocated. Based on the caucus results Hart is expected to have 691 delegates, Mondale 431 delegates and the Rev. Jesse Jackson 215 delegates. Some 87 uncommitted delegates were elected to the state convention.

The delegates that appear at the state convention will cast a presidential preference vote again. Some 36 Hart delegates, 28 Mondale delegates and 18 Jackson delegate slots. TMUHIDAY.MAY J4 Suntaf today I 90 pm. lunrita tomorrow 5: It a m. Moonrita tomorrow 9:09 am.

One, he said, conducted In Japan by Dr. Takeshi Hirayama among 270,000 people, found that there was ft slight increase in bronchitis and emphysema among wives of smokers compared to wives of nonsmokers.

Bordow said that Hirayamas findings had been included In the first draft of Wednesdays report, The Health Consequences of Smoking: Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, but had been deleted later. The Tobacco Institute had learned of the contents of the report and circulated material rebutting it earlier in the week.

Under the original program, an elite Jordanian force would be supplied with Stingers, special communicaUons equipment, armor, infantry weapons and combat engineer equipment, along with some C-130 transports. In addition it was agreed that the U.S.

Air Force would supply American-manned transports to ferry this Jordanian force into countries in the gulf area that felt threatened. Officials said that with the Stingers no longer available to the Jordanians, and with costs rising for other equipment, it was felt advisable to put off the matter. In addition, since King Hussein has lost much of his support in Congress because of his criticism of Washington in March, administration and Jordanian officials were said to have agreed on the importance of avoiding a possible debate in Congress. delegates are seeking national Vermont will send a total of 17 delegates and six alternates to the national convention. Thirteen delegates and six alternates will be selected at the state convention.

Democratic National Committee rules mandate that the state delegations be evenly balanced between men and women. Five delegates have been predetermined by DNC rules. Three of those will be filled by Leahy and Party Chairman Edwin Granai and Vice Chairman Shirley Schommer. Leahy supports Mondale and Schommer backs Hart. The two additional party leaders will be selected by the convention.

If Harts plurality holds, he should get those two delegate' seats. A man and woman are expected to be chosen. Nine delegates will be selected according to the presidential preference vote Saturday. Three will be chosen at-large by the convention. Mondale, Hart and Jackson are expected to each receive an at-large seat.

The exact breakdown by candidate will vary according to the number of delegates that appear Saturday. But if the present totals hold steady Hart could receive nine or 10 national delegates, Mondale five or six and Jackson two. Granai has been uncommitted throughout the campaign and may retain that status through the national convention. Vermont Democrats are expected to send Jackson delegates to the convention despite a DNC rule that says a candidate that did not receiye 20 percent of the vote in the caucuses can not elect national delegates. Jackson won 14 percent of the vote in the Vermont caucuses.

The DNC has said it will not challenge the Vermont delegation if it flouts the rule unless a complaint is filed from within the delegation. If a challenge were filed it would come from the Vermont Mondale campaign. That is not expected. Death (Continued from Page One) a tatoo of a dagger with a snake wrapped around It. Paul was last seen driving a 1970 dull gray Mercury sedan with Virginia license plate number VBZ247.

The car was missing a front grill and had primer spots on it. State police also said Paul was a con man, with a history of credit card fraud and passing bad checks. He selects the victim, shoots the victim, robs the victim and goes on his way, said Lt. Edward Fish of Vermont State Police. However, authorities in both New Jersey and Connecticut said robbery was not an apparent motive in those murders.

Calls wallet was missing, police said. Paul is wanted for the May 15 slaying of 47-year-old Virginia Vickory of Readington Township, N.J. He is wanted for questioning in the -May. 17 murder of 18-year-old Robin White of Will-ington, Conn. Neither woman had been sexually assaulted, and both had been shot in the head, police said.

Vermont State Police issued an all-points bulletin for the burly, 6-foot, 250-pound Paul. Police said he has hazel eyes and light brown hair. Calls murder is the third murder in Windsor County and the fourth murder in Vermont in four days. The geriatric nurse was last seen alive at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Howard Johnsons Restaurant having dinner, Spear, head of the bureau of criminal investigation said.

Calls body was found at 8:30 p.m. by a passing truck driver in the rest area, according to Windsor County States Attorney William S. Bos. Bos said it wasnt immediately apparent that Call had been murdered. He said Regional Medical Examiner Dr.

Charles Cunningham of Springfield examined Calls body and could find no wounds since he had bled profusely Phones (Continued from Page One) and each day more are finding a phone too expensive to have. James Lehane, district NET manager, and PSB Chairman Louise McCarren said the proposed increases do not reflect all the increases expected as a result of the divestiture of American Telephone Telegraph. Access charges and increases in local phone rates are expected, McCarren -said. NET claims long-distance rates have always subsidized local phone use, and it will be ask for local phone rate increases to offset the loss of that subsidy, McCarren said. Brian Lederer of Washington, D.C., a utilities expert visiting Vermont, testified at the hearing that NET was not telling the truth when it said long-distance calls subsidized local calls before divestiture.

NETS current request will cover the companys cost for providing pay phone service, directory assistance, construction and other expenditures, Lehane said. The company is asking for a $16 million rate increase, 94 percent of which will be paid by local phone customers. Part of the-revenues will subsidize a $54 million construction project. Currently, 37 percent of Vermont NET customers are served through computerized switches. The company expects that 50 percent of the state will be served through computer switching in two to three years, Lehane said.

But the cost for reconstructing the system is not included in the current rate increase request. That too will come later. Lehane said the company had enough capacity to meet current vestlgate the scene, but that to his knowledge no fingerprints or a weapon had been found. There are no known witnesses to the murder, he said. Bos said friends from Claremont, two fellow nurses at the nursing home, had come to Springfield to Identify Call.

The first victim knew Paul, although authorities are not sure how well he and Vickory were acquainted. Both lived in the small, residential Belvedere Motel in Readington, N.J., near Flem-ington. They had both lived there a year and occupied separate rooms, according to an editor with the Courier News in Bridgewater, N. J. Police In Readington Township have issued an arrest warrant for Paul.

Paul had worked at a posh horse breeding farm in Readington, called Lamia Lobell. Vickorys body was found face down In a hayfield about a mile from the farm, the editor said. She was fully clothed. Although Paul had lived in the rural community for a year, few people knew him, the editor said. Vickory had recently become unemployed.

Police say Paul is driving Vickorys car, the 1970 Mercury with Virginia plates. Vickory was originally from Virginia and lt is believed Paul is too. -Police said he has a southern accent. According to Connecticut State Police Sgt. Joseph Perkins, Robin White was believed to have been hitchhiking on May 17 in Portland, a small town south of Hartford.

Her body was found In a remote area on Sunday, he said, with a gunshot wound to the head and torso. White was seen with a man fitting Pauls description on the day she disappeared, police said. She I was a kitchen worker at a piz-1 za house in Willington, her hometown. The three detectives heading the investigation in Vermont are Cpls. James Cronan, Richard Crowson and Michael LeClair.

party line rates, but the costs are just not there. There shouldnt be more than a five percent increase. He said NETS request to increase installation charges by 50 percent was not warranted and the charge should be held below the companys cost, reflecting no more than a 10 percent increase. Further, Zamore charged, NET has done little to make its money stretch. Rather, Zamore said, its made some unwise investments and has operated inefficiently.

McCarren said this was an issue the board had tried to resolve. But how does a regulatory commission make a public service business act efficiently, she asked? The other issue of concern to the board, she said, and the one most germane to the hearing is: can Vermont afford a state-of-the art phone communication system or should it be content with a less sophisticated, but adequate, system? A logging company representative from Brattleboro said he figured his phone bill will in-crease by $5,463 if the proposal is Besides the 48 percent increase in the basic monthly charge, directory assistance would increase by 75 percent from 20 cents per call in excess of five free calls to 35 cents under the proposal. Another public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 31, at the cafeteria of Edmunds Junior High School, Burlington. The city of Burlington is a party in the rate case.

After their final hearing the Public Service Board will rule on the proposed rate Increases. needs with the equipment it has. It needs the new equipment to meet customer growth and provide better service, he said. He said the computerized swit-ching system reduces maintenance, employees needed to service lines, and overhead. If that is so, argued Rutland jeweler Michael Stimpfel, why arent you asking the common ratepayer to pay less? Lehane said savings dont occur overnight and the company was still trying to recoup losses accrued when it asked for a 16 percent rate increase last year and only received an 8.5 percent increase.

Nevertheless, the company has a profit margin of about 8 percent, he said, and stockholders continue to receive increasing dividends. Rivers and Rutland Alderman Linda Welch presented petitions that said the phone companys proposed rate increases posed a burden to elderly and low-income people. The Public Service Department apparently agreed. PSD attorney Peter Zamore, in his role as public advocate, said the departments analysis of the companys finances indicated the rate increase for basic services should be limited to 5 percent and thpt the companys overall rate increases should be limited to 5V4 percent. Zamore said a PSD analysis showed pay phone service only costs NET 10 cents, rather than the 25 cents the company is asking for.

Zamore said pay phone rates should stay at 10 cents. He said NET wasasking for an 100 percent increase in 2 and 4 Museums Fresco Called A Fraud FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -When officials at the Kimbell Art Museum bought a 12th century Romanesque fresco in 1971 for $330,000, they thought they had a real find. Apparently they were wrong. Museum director Edmund Pillsbury announced Tuesday that a two-year investigation by art scholars and other experts determined that the painted apse, a popular fixture for several years at the museum, is probably a forgery. The wall and ceiling paintings, which depict five religious scenes and were prominently displayed in one of the museums galleries, probably were painted not more than 50 years ago by a French art restorer who since has died, he said..
