ILLINOIS LOTTERY SPRINGFIELD, III. (AP) Here are the winning numbers drawn Thursday in the Lotto game: DAILY GAME: 1-1-9 PCK FOUR: 6-4-6-7 6 of 54 JACKPOT: $37 million All 4 -i Bush and Dukakis both were on morning television programs while embarking on another dawn-to-dusk dash through key battleground states. Bush began his day with a vigorous defense of himself and his running mate in an interview with Bryant Gumbel on NBC's "Today" show. The vice president heatedly denied that his attacks on Dukakis over the Massachusetts prison furlough program had racist overtones for citing the case of Willie Horton, who is black. Horton, a convicted murderer, brutalized a Maryland couple after escaping, but Bush said his commercial "didn't have any reference to his race and no picture on it.v He said Dukakis countered with an ad showing a picture of a Hispanic prisoner who had escaped from a federal prison program and committed crimes.

Gumbel asked "which George Bush" voters concerned with "the deteriorating state of race relations" would get: "the one who voted for fair housing in 1968 when it was unpopular or the man who selected Dan Quayle, who has a terrible civil rights record." "You're going to get both," Bush replied, "because I stand by my record on Dan Quayle and I don't like these attacks on his integrity or his civil rights or anything else." Dukakis began his 55th birthday in the interview chair at "CBS This Morning," saying that despite the public polls, the race was beginning to break his way. He said voters are unhappy with the Republican campaign, and added, "That's one of the reasons that they're taking a very strong second look at me and Mr. Bush, and seeing some very important differences." In an appearance in Fairless Hills, Dukakis continued his emphasis on the war on drugs. He outlined a proposal' for a $400 million federal contribution for a state and local alliance to assure drug-free schools across the country by the next decade, including drug education programs beginning in kindergarten and community advisory councils to coordinate local efforts BIRTHS MERCY Nov. 3 Jan and Larry Drahos, 4101 16th Ave.
