4 Spokane, May 20, 1987. THE SpOKESMAN-ReVEW 3 Goode, Rizzo win Philadelphia primary. NATIONAL DIGEST From wire reports More GOP for presidency report they are millionaires Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Mayor W. Wilson Goode swept to victory over two Democratic primary challengers Tuesday, while former mayor Frank Rizzo defeated a Republican rival after switching parties for his latest comeback bid. Goode, the citys first black mayor, quickly built an edge over former District Attorney Edward Rendell as the first votes were counted after 13 hours of voting in a rain-swept primary.

Rizzo had little trouble dispatching stockbroker John Egan, who was the GOP candidate when Goode captured City Hall in 1983. Republicans have not won the mayors race in the nations fifth-larg-est city since 1937. Goode and Rizzo will now meet in the general election in November, in a rematch of the 1983 Democratic primary. With 81 percent of precincts reporting, Goode had 174,750 votes or 55 percent and Rendell had 142,473 votes or 45 percent. ka Census Bureau undercounting minorities, leaders charge WASHINGTON Representatives of the nations ethnic groups charged Tuesday that the Census Bureau underestimates their numbers, depriving them of federal money and devaluing their political power.

Leaders of groups representing blacks, Hispanics, Asian-Ameri-cans, Arabs and American Indians asked a House subcommittee to ensure that the survey methods for the 1990 census be improved to more accurately reflect the number of minorities. The undercount is both discriminatory and punitive, said G. Mario Moreno, associate counsel for Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Testifying before the House subcommittee on census and population, Moreno and other witnesses said the estimates weren't accurate because the questions arent asked properly and because the census bureau hasnt alerted minorities to the importance of the surveys. Smokeless tobacco sales up sharply WASHINGTON Smokeless tobacco sales have risen sharply in recent years, especially among teen-agers, Health and Human Services Secretary Otis R.

Bowen said Tuesday in a report to Congress. It is estimated that there are currently more than 12 million users of smokeless tobacco in the United States, with 3 million of these users under 21 years of age, Bowen said.

The wealthiest candidate among the seven Democratic contenders was former Gov. Bruce Babbitt of Arizona. Mike McCurry, a spokesman for Babbitt, said the former governors ne' worth was in the neighborhood Gt $1 million. McCurry said Babbitt received an extension of the deadline for filing his report with the Federal Election Commission.

McCurry said the candidate planned to make public his tax returns, as well as financial and medical records. Vice President George Bush had not yet filed a disclosure report but earlier filings showed he was a millionaire. Former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, disclosed his income over the last 17 months was at least $3.2 million. The retired general listed assets of at least $3.7 million and liabilities of at most $1.1 million.

Police killed both of the big white bears as they tussled over the body of a young boy, said the citys Parks Commissioner, Henry J. Stern. Police said it took 20 shotgun blasts to bring down the shaggy, lumbering animals, both of which stood 8 feet tall and weighed more than 900 pounds.

Detectives were investigating whether as many as two other children were also mauled by the 30-year-old bears. The police said they found three pairs of shoes and three pairs of trousers, stacked in neat piles near a two-foot-deep moat just inside the bears Good Group Rates All Ages Welcome Drawing for 2 $100 gift certificates.

Offer expires May 31 1987 509624-2820 House OKs arms control proposals Associated Press i DECORATIVE HOME SALE WASHINGTON The House, working on a Pentagon budget, ignored President Reagans objections Tuesday and approved two Democratic-backed arms control proposals to ban tests of anti-satellite weapons and halt most tests of U.S. nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans successfully fended off another attempt to force an end to their filibuster of a defense bill that has a provision Reagan dislikes.

But Democrats promised to try again later in the week. The votes came as the two Dem-ocratic-controlled chambers worked to come up with a bill authorizing the Pentagons budget for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. The House generally split along party lines as it voted 229-188 to continue the existing moratorium on final-stage tests of anti-satellite weapons. That ban was put into effect 18 months ago when the House added it to another Pentagon budget bill.

Reagan last week appealed to the House to permit the Air Force to go ahead with anti-satellite tests, renewing his argument that the U.S. weapon is needed to offset an existing Soviet anti-satellite system. Both nations are heavily dependent on satellites for communications, surveillance and early warning of attack. The administration argues that the U.S. anti-satellite program should go ahead while the two superpowers try to negotiate a ban on the weapons.

Gardner (Continued from page 1) ho the olive branch that we will accept and we will meet him half way. Andrus added the veto told me that we, the neighboring state, have a responsibility to see that its resolved and it will be. Both governors said a date hadn't been set for the meeting but Gardner said it would be soon. Both also said they didnt have a preconceived solution. They have to use their tax policy.

Were just asking that it be rational and that it not be prohibitive as it relates to retirees and individuals of that nature, said Gardner. The governor said he would like Idaho at least to excuse retirees from paying back taxes. Sen. Jim West, R-Spokane, sponsor of the vetoed bill, said that although he expected Gardner to reject it, he was not entirely pleased, because I think it takes the pressure off to resolve the issue. But West claimed he accomplished his main goal of getting the attention of Idaho officials.

In response to his bill and three related measures not approved by the Washington Legislature, the Idaho Legislature raised the minimum income on which out-of-state workers can be taxed, from $1,000 to $3,300 for single workers and $5,400 for couples. West said he hopes Gardner will ask Andrus to exempt out-of-state workers from Idaho taxes as long as they earn less than 50 percent of their income in Idaho.
