SUNDAY NEWS, LANCASTER, PA. B-4 SEPTEMBER 6, 1992 OBiTUARIESBIRTHS Bush team hopes Pa. wins will come in threes Joseph E. Sloan jobs, the economy and higher taxes on the wealthy. Specter is stressing his record as a hard-working representative if Pennsylvanias interests.

Its so volatile, its an absolute dead heat, said political analyst G. Terry Madonna of Millersville University. Its anybodys to win or lose. Voters in the Nov. 3 election also will choose an attorney general, auditor general, treasurer and members of Congress and the state Legislature.

Pennsylvania has been a George Bush fan. He defeated Ronald Reagan in the 1980 primary and won the state in 1988, defying predictions it was going Democratic. Republicans family values themes should appeal to the states large senior citizen population, Filling said. Jobs and the economy also are important, and Bush will talk about such things as free trade, vital to agriculture, the states No. 1 industry, the campaign director added.

Clinton's spokesman, Whitney, said, The No. 1 family value is jobs. What the people in this state are looking for is a president who will show leadership creating jobs and reforming health care. Although he announced he was quitting the presidential race, Ross Perot is on the Pennsylvania presidential ballot. He could become a lightning rod for any lingering protest against the two major party candidates.

But the prospect of voting for someone who has dropped out of the race may hold the protest vote to a minimum. By Rich Kirkpatrick Associated Press Writer HARRISBURG Pennsylvania, where Republicans have taken the presidential vote every four years since 1976, wont be an easy place for a repeat victory this November. Even President Bushs campaign acknowledges he is behind in Pennsylvania right now. We are obviously high on the priority list for the campaign, said Dick Filling of Lancaster, Bushs state executive director. He said he expects Bush, First Lady Barbara Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle will be visiting in coming weeks.

Its important we cover all areas of the state with the principals, Filling said. Democrat Bill Clintons campaign is upbeat. Offices are up and running in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and lots of volunteers are showing up, said Clinton spokesman Jim Whitney. Theres a tremendous amount of enthusiasm all over the state, he said. Pennsylvanias race for the U.S.

Senate also is drawing national attention. Political newcomer Lynn Yeakel won the Democratic nomination by running against Republican incumbent Arlen Specter, though voters could not chose between them in the primary. She tapped womens anger over Specters interrogation of law professor Anita Hill during the confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas, now a U.S. Supreme Court ustice. Specter has called Yeakel a one-issue candidate with a negative theme.

But Yeakel has begun echoing Clintons refrain of Jane Wheeler, was teacher Jane W. Wheeler, 77, of 8069 S.E. Villa Circle, Hobe Sound, and formerly of Honey Brook, died Friday at Chester County Hospital, West Chester, following a brief illness. She was the wife of H. Eugene Wheeler.

George Anderson, was Pittsburgh film, drama critic PITTSBURGH (AP) George Anderson, a longtime film and drama critic at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, died Saturday of heart failure at a city hospital. He was 60. Andersons 23 years at the Post-Gazette also included stints as entertainment editor and magazine editor.

His columns and criticism also appeared for the last two years in The Blade newspaper of Toledo, Ohio, and The Herald of Monterey, Calif. All three newspapers are owned by Blade Communications. I think it is an extraordinary loss not only for the newspaper, but also for the Pittsburgh community, said Post-Gazette Editor John G. Craig Jr. George set the standard, not only as a film critic, but for all of the arts, through his editorship.

The Post-Gazette News Fax, which is being published during a delivery drivers strike against the company that prints the newspaper, said Anderson often told colleagues he considered himself truly lucky to be making a living doing something he gladly would do for fun. Anderson covered 14 Academy Awards ceremonies, Shakespeare festivals in England and Canada and overseas trips by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. He won numerous awards for criticism and entertainment writing. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, a son, Scott, and a daughter, Holly, all of Pittsburgh. The funeral will be Wednesday.

Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of Daniel Pineda. Pineda is wanted by Lancaster city police on suspicion of rape and other related offenses. On Nov. 13, 1991, Pineda allegedly approached a 13-year-old girl, sprayed her with tear gas and dragged her into a wooded area, police said. He then threatened her with a knife and raped her, according to police.

After committing this offense, he then refused to let her leave for an undetermined period of time. As in the case of many rapes, the victim knew her assailant, police said. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. His last known address was on South Ann Street; however, authorities believe he could be located almost anywhere. If you have information about Daniel Pineda, or about any other serious crime or wanted person, call Pennsylvania Crime Stop pers, toll free, at (800) 4PA-TIPS.

You could be eligible for a cash reward. Callers do not have to give their names. Concert will aid Rescue Mission Lewis Bruun will present his third benefit organ concert for the Water Street Rescue Mission at St. James Episcopal Church, Duke and Orange streets, on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 4 p.m.
