A2 The Daily News, Longview, Friday, December 5, 1986 GOP wants Regan, Casey out Weather Downtown restores Open Late Evenings WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan was urged by several Republican allies in Congress today to oust White House chief of staff Donald T. Regan and CIA Director William Casey because of the Iran-Contra scandal but insisted he "wouldn't throw anybody to the wolves without adequate cause," lawmakers said. Reagan met with GOP congressional leaders at the White House as plans were taking shape on Capitol Hill for a wider probe of the affair, with both the House and Senate moving to establish investigative units to probe the sale of arms to Iran and the diversion of profits to Nicaraguan rebels. Reagan was to decide later in the day, meanwhile, whether to call a special session of Congress, as Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole has proposed. It was also learned that the Justice Department's re quest that an independent counsel be named to investigate the matter had been formally made to a special, three-judge panel of the U.S.

Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The Senate Intelligence Committee, which resumed work today, spent more than four hours under tight secrecy Thursday quizzing Robert M. Gates, the No. 2 official at the Central Intelligence Agency, on what he knows about the deal that sent plane loads of arms to Iran and diverted as much as $30 million of the proceeds to Nicaragua's Contra rebels. Sen.

David Durenberger, the committee's chairman, said the committee's list of potential witnesses had been expanded and now included the National Security Council, except for the president and Vice President George Bush.

McFarlane, countering administration assertions, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that President Reagan approved in advance Israel's arms sales to Iran, according to newspaper reports published today. The New York Times, citing three unidentified sources familiar with McFarlane's private testimony, reported that McFarlane contradicted the account of Attorney General Edwin Meese, who said last week that Reagan was informed about the first shipment after it took place in September 1985.

The San Jose Mercury News, in a similar report based on an unidentified source, quoted McFarlane as telling the committee the September shipment "was authorized by the president. The purpose was to open relationships with Iran and collaterally to free the hostages." The Times quoted a spokesman for Meese as saying the attorney general stood by his original account.

Kenneth Mowery of the Salvation Army. Several agencies, including his, send people to the Word of Life when they need a temporary place to stay, he said, and a motel would cost at least three times as much. The Salvation Army is putting together a proposal to run a similar program, Mowery said, "but we're not going to see anything happen with that for at least six months, I'm sure." Community response to keep the shelter going "is really going to depend on the community perception of the board," Adams said. "If they're people the community knows, who appear to have a lot of integrity, I think the community will get behind it.

But if they're not well-known, I would bet the community would let this slip through their fingers." The Word of Life "developed this reputation," Adams said, "that people were concerned somebody was getting rich down there. But anyone who went down there and met Rev. Redmill had to see that no one was getting rich off the Word of Life Fellowship. In the beginning, Adams said, the organization wasn't sophisticated in dealing with other agencies and community leaders. "They got better at it," he said.

"But at first it was just 'There's this need and we need to meet They got a reputation of being disorganized. People were suspicious of where all the funds might be. But I think because of their endurance, they slowly won the confidence of more and more people." The new board faces a difficult task, Adams said. "But the need is so critical that if it's not the Word of Life, it's going to have to be something else." into the hotel at Ninth Avenue and Hudson Street in November 1984. Between 20 and 24 people usually stay at the hotel shelter, Word of Life secretary Jeanne Humbard said, and about 75 people eat meals there.

Redmill draws no salary, and Humbard is the only paid employee, she said. Redmill's resignation will be a setback to the operation, Wheeldon said. "It was generally perceived that he was very necessary for this to go on, because he had been involved since its inception. His reasoning (for resigning) was that it was a health problem, too much stress." Members of the finance committee decided to present the full 17-member board with several options next Tuesday, Wheeldon said. The options include finding a new executive director, trying to involve other churches and agencies, or shutting down.

A top concern, Wheeldon said, is that board members not be personally liable for the organization's debts. If they are convinced they won't be, he said, "I feel we will probably try to restructure it, because the need is still there. This is the only shelter in the two counties (Cowlitz and Wahkiakum) that someone off the street can go in and expect to be fed and given a place to sleep." He and other board members will discuss the situation with the United Way, area churches and social service organizations and local legislators before making any decisions.Wheeldon said. "It's in everybody's interest to have a shelter program," he said, "because just closing the shelter down is not going to erase the problem."

The 13 defendants in New York only conspired to sell arms to Iran. The National Security Council folks in the White House actually sold millions of dollars worth of weapons 3nd spare parts to Iran.

If it is a felony to conspire to sell arms to Iran, it must be a more serious irime to actually do it. The alternative for New York prosecutors is to say that if the boys in Ihe White House get off scot free, so tlo the 13 defendants in New York. There simply cannot be two standards of justice in America one Jor the citizens and another for the boys in power at the moment, no jnatter how they abuse that power. What is fair for the boys in the White House is fair for the 13 defendants in New York. If the.

decision is 3o apply the law uniformly, then vigorous prosecution in New York irnist be matched with equally Vigorous prosecution in Washington, J.C.

sun. i :00 s) 7:10 (j 1 :05 ask for a rate increase to pay for a refund that a U.S. Supreme Court decision makes necessary. The $78 million refund is starting to appear on telephone bills around the Northwest this month in the form of credits. It arises from depreciation charges on intrastate telephone hardware the Federal Communications Commission told the states they had to approve.

When the states appealed, the U.S. Supreme Court said the FCC had exceeded its jurisdiction. Get this when Washington's Utilities and Transportation Commission approved the depreciation schedules, it added a proviso that the money had to be refunded if the schedules were ever overturned. That put PNB on notice that if it spent the money generated by the added depreciation, it was doing so at some risk. Now PNB is saying that risk ought to be borne by the consumers.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. It ought to be borne by the stockholders of PNB. After all, it was PNB's management that ignored the WUTC proviso and merrily spent the money. Therefore, it ought to be PNB's owners, not its customers, who suffer. Fortunately, the WUTC will have to act on the rate increase request.

It ought to make it very clear that attempting to punish the consumers for a Supreme Court decision and management miscalculations is not in the public interest. It really isn't in PNB's best long-term interests either, if its management thinks the issue through.

She says she doesn't go on dates because she wouldn't know what to do on one. But Kyra plans to attend an old friend's wedding soon because "If I get my memory back, I'd be mad if I missed it because I guess she's my friend."
