A4 TIMES-ADVOCATE, Escondido, Saturday, July 2, 1983 Speakes says 'no more' on briefing book SANTA BARBARA (AP) White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Friday he does "not intend to say any more" about political espionage or the Reagan campaign's use of a debate briefing book prepared for President Carter during the 1980 presidential race. "I don't want to be hard-nosed about it, but those of you who might like to talk later thinking I might say more will be Speakes told reporters who accompanied President Reagan here for the holiday weekend. He said he would not meet with reporters again until after the Fourth of July. The president's deputy press secretary did say that Reagan knew nothing of a published report that his campaign manager, State From T-A Wire Services Senate power struggle SACRAMENTO Senate Republican leader William Campbell lost a long-running power struggle with a conservative rival Friday and was replaced by a little-known, two-term lawmaker. Senate Republicans voted 9-5 to overthrow Campbell and to elect Sen.

Gunman kills two, wounds third OAKLAND A gunman who killed two family members with a rifle, critically wounded a third and then took his 2-year-old daughter hostage surrendered Friday after holing up in his apartment for almost three hours, police said. The child was unharmed when she was carried from the apartment building by an officer wearing a bulletproof vest. The handcuffed suspect, escorted by a plainclothes officer, followed about 10 minutes later. He was taken away in a police car.

The gunman shot his wife, sister and mother-in-law, said police Lt. Doug Krathwohl. Two of them were killed, and the third Fireworks Continued from page A1 ment to prohibit the sale to consumers of the most dangerous types of fireworks, such as cherry bombs, aerial bombs, M-80 salutes and larger firecrackers containing more than two grains of powder. Mailorder kits designed to build these fireworks were also banned. And while some states allow all Class fireworks (such as sparklers, Roman candles, rockets with sticks, toy smoke devices and others), California is among the six states that gives its cities and counties the right to make their laws on the matter.

According to Sgt. Sam Moran of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, the county adopted the Uniform Fire Code in 1977 prohibiting fireworks in unincorporated areas of the county. And, Dawson said, individual fireworks are illegal "in every fire protection district and municipality in the county." The use of fireworks is classified as a misdemeanor, and violators can receive a fine of up to $500, six months in jail or both. The California Department of Forestry said that if a fire is started by fireworks, the violator will be held liable for the cost of putting the fire out and for the damage it caused. You can report anyone using fireworks to the local Continued from page A1 jail Friday evening.

Throughout the trial, Duncan's mother, Betty Ford of Riverside, kept waited outside the courtroom. She wasn't allowed to listen to the trial because she was a potential witness. She claimed Miss Flowers told her five days before the shooting that "If (Ricky) ever left again she would blow his head off his shoulders, that if she couldn't have him, ain't nobody going to have him." But Mrs. Ford was not permitted to testify. Superior Court Judge Gilbert Nares ruled that her testimony was irrelevant.

The district attorney's office at first rejected the case for prosecution, deciding that Miss Flowers acted in self-defense. However, Mrs. Ford and sheriff's detectives involved in the case complained to assistant District Attorney Richard Huffman, who decided to file manslaughter charges. "When I reviewed the case I felt the likelihood of her being convicted was said chief Vista William J. Casey, had conducted any intelligence operation to detect a possible "October surprise" in which Carter might have manipulated the Iran hostage crisis to his political advantage in the closing days of the campaign.

Speakes, under questioning by reporters, later acknowledged he had not specifically discussed the matter with the president, but agreed to make an inquiry. The Washington Post quoted former Reagan campaign officials Friday as saying that Casey, now director of the CIA, used a network of retired military officers to monitor U.S. troop and I transport plane movements that might have presaged release the hostages. who was in charge of plans and policy for the Reagan campaign, said in a telephone interview from Pasadena that he instigated such a monitoring operation in anticipation of a dramatic Carter gesture just before the November elections. Garrick, who now runs a public relations business, said he called some friends "who lived near where the big air bases are where I figured they had large birds (planes)" for ferrying military equipment and spare parts to Iran in a hostage exchange.

Court stands by drunken driving ruling SAN FRANCISCO A state Court of Appeal Friday stuck by its riticized decision that California's blood-alcohol drunk driving standards are vague and invalid, voting 2-1 to deny a rehearing of the case. The strongly worded decison sets the stage for the California Supreme Court to resolve the dispute between two divisions of the appeal court in San Francisco over the law, which outlaws driving by people with blood-alcohol levels exceeding 0.1 percent. A law outlawing drunken driving remains uncontested in the dispute, however.

"I didn't think there was any woman in the county that would vote for The case turned on the threeminute period after Duncan fell asleep and before Miss Flowers shot him.

A psychiatrist testified earlier in the trial that the threeminute period was Miss Flowers' only chance during the four-hour ordeal to defend herself. "I thought that if she didn't wait three minutes, the case could have never gone to trial," said BIll MIllar, a juror from Escondido. Miss Flowers and Duncan, a 29- year-old gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps, shared an apartment on Hill Drive in Vista. Miss Flowers told the police that at 11 p.m. Jan.

28, Duncan came home drunk from a local bar. She told police she pretended to be asleep in bed, but was pulled by her hair out of bed and ordered to fix Duncan breakfast. The bacon burned, and at that, Miss Flowers claimed she was beaten, choked and ordered to perform a variety of bizarre sexual acts. The physical and sexual abuse continued for four hours, she told police. She was burned by a cigarette, tied up and raped.

Finally, Duncan either passed out or fell asleep on the bed. Miss Flowers slipped into the bathroom. Returning to the bedroom, about three minutes 1 later, she reached for Duncan's .357 Magnum pistol, which he kept in a dresser drawer. According to her statement, she pointed the gun at Duncan's head, steadied one hand with the other, closed her eyes and squeezed the trigger. She fired once and then ran to a neighbor's apartment.

"I shot him. I think I killed him. If I didn't get him, he was going to get me," Miss Flowers supposedly told the neighbor. She then huddled in a corner of the apartment, rocking back and forth in the fetal position, until the police arrived. Continued from page A1 al demonstrators." pulling a shirt over his chest.
