The bureau found that receipts per employee varied widely, with automotive rental services receiving $116,000 per worker compared to less than $12,000 for help supply services.

Manhattan led in service business receipts with $22.97 billion in 1982, easily outdistancing Nassau County, in second place with $4.12 billion. Rounding out the top 10 were Queens, $2.1 billion; Westchester, $2.08 billion; Suffolk, $1.7 billion; Kings, $1.51 billion; Erie, $1.47 billion; Monroe, $1.13 billion; Onondaga, $756 million and Bronx, $671 million.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Although New York service businesses reported a 73 percent increase in receipts between 1977 and 1982, according to the U.S.

Bureau of the Census, the growth was 18 percentage points below the national average. The U.S. Department of Commerce's census bureau reported Friday that 102,875 private sector service businesses with employees in New York state reported gross receipts of $43.8 billion in 1982, up from $25.4 billion five years earlier. The New York increase was led by lawyers, doctors, engineers and architects, according to the report. Based on preliminary national figures released earlier this month, the performance of New York service businesses measured by receipts was less than the national average increase of 91 percent, the agency said.

The bureau's 150-page report, titled "1982 Census of Service Industries, New York," contains data on 173 business classifications and includes information about the number of establishments, receipts, annual payroll and number of employees. The agency reported it based its conclusions on census questionnaires and federal agency administrative records. Legal services had the highest receipts, based on current dollars and not adjusted for inflation, in the state at $4.9 billion, up by 89 percent since 1977, according to the agency. Officies of physicians followed with receipts of $3.3 billion, up 67 percent. Next came engineering, architectural and surveying businesses with $2.9 billion, a 101 percent jump.

The bureau defined service businesses as those "primarily engaged in rendering a wide variety of services to individuals and business establishments." These include, for example, hotels, camps, laundries, diaper services, photographic studios, beauty and barber shops and day care centers, the report said.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) This year could be a harvest of despair for Taylor County farmer Jan Burkhard and thousands like him if there's a harvest at all. With spring planting just a few months away, Burkhard says he may not be able to borrow money for seed on his 600-acre corn and soybean farm in southwestern Iowa. "I have $65,000 worth of land payments I won't be able to make, about $70,000 is owed to the bank and I have a $10,000 John Deere payment to make," said Burkhard, 37, who's been farming since 1971.

Thousands of farmers in Iowa and throughout the Farm Belt, squeezed by high interest rates and low commodity prices, face similar problems. Neil Harl, an economist at Iowa State University, estimates that 10 to 15 percent of the state's 115,000 farmers will be unable to borrow money for spring planting in the next 60to70days. Burkhard says he needs to borrow at least $90,000 to get his crop in the ground, including $12,000 for seed. Last year, with too much rain in the spring and none in the summer, his crop barely covered his expenses at harvest time. His debt now is $730,000, including the money he borrowed to buy 450 acres of land in 1976, at $800 per acre, and another 130 acres in 1980 for $900 an acre.

Today, with Iowa land values declining sharply, he says his farm is worth no more than $325 an acre. "The only thing I can hope for is to try and sit down with the people I owe money to and say I can't make the payments, but I'll try to spread them out," he said. His wife is working as a registered nurse. "Otherwise we wouldn't be eating now," Burkhard said. This month, about 10,000 farmers gathered at the Minnesota state capitol in St.

Paul, demanding a moratorium on farm and small business foreclosures. About 200 farmers protested at the Chicago Board of Trade's Mercantile Exchange, and 5,000 farmers crowded the Sioux City auditorium to demonstrate against high interest rates and low commodity prices. "The scope of the problem is much broader than farms," Harl said. "Today it threatens to engulf the entire rural community." Iowa Banking Superintendent Tom Huston said 133 state banks have "more than the usual problems." Three failed last year and Iowa has 48 problem banks on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. list, compared to two in 1980, he said.

"There are banks today in the state that are doing all they can to get rid of farmer customers," said Huston. "But there are others who are too lenient and face problems because of it. "But most are in the middle and they're trying to help the farmer through difficult financial times. According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture, the state's 115,000 farms are carrying about $17.4 billion in debt, and one farm in three is sliding toward insolvency. Malpractice Awards Blamed For Rising Health Care Costs PHILADELPHIA (AP) Pennsylvanians are paying more for health care as doctors, hit with a rising number of malpractice suits and monetary claims, pass along their higher insurance premiums and practice "defensive medicine," physicians and insurers say.

The Pennsylvania Medical Society estimates malpractice insurance premium increases could add from 1 percent to more than 6 percent to the cost of an office visit depending on where the physician practices. "The patients always end up picking up the tab," said Dr. John Y. Templeton HI, the society's past president. Experts have estimated $200 million in malpractice claims will be awarded this year in Pennsylvania about 10 percent of all medical malpractice awards nationally.

The costs of paying the claims are rising, as the state-run Medical Professional Liability Catastrophe Loss Fund, set up to pay claims exceeding $1 million, has quadrupled in four years and is expected to grow another 25 percent this year to $83.9 million. The situation, which some have called a crisis, costs consumers in more than just office visits, some doctors say. Dr. Howard Richter, a Delaware County neurosurgeon who said he paid about $20,000 a year for malpractice insurance, said patients are paying for what he called "defensive medicine." "There are untold tests and consultations which are being ordered out of a kind of scrupulous prudence because doctors are afraid of being sued," he said. "If we didn't have to, we wouldn't order those tests the $300 and $1,000 tests." The American Medical Association estimates the cost to the nation's doctors of practicing defensive medicine at $12 billion to $15 billion each year.

In Pennsylvania, the figure was estimated at $23 million for 1982. One of the largest malpractive awards by a jury in the state was granted last November, when $5.5 million was awarded to the family of a middle-aged woman who died after contracting leukemia while being treated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for ovarian cancer. The jury award included about $3 million in rarely assessed punitive damages against the four doctors who treated the woman and the presiding judge who concealed the records from the public.

SOUTH SALEM, N.Y. AP) The mementos of New York Lt. Gov. Alfred DelBello's 20 years in politics are packed in brown boxes that line the small study of his home. Pictures and to a career that began in his hometown of Yonkers and ended with, a surprise resignation from the state's second-highest post, will probably stay in those boxes for a while.

"It's not the kind of thing you put in a business office," he said of the souvenirs that range from photos of himself with former President Jimmy Carter to certificates of thanks from his former high school. "Maybe some of the pictures. Dee (his wife) wants to put some up here. I never realized there were so many." It is more than a month since he took political pundits and colleagues by surprise by announcing his resignation as lieutenant governor, effective Friday, to become presi- dent of a company dealing with en- )) vironmental concerns. He says now that there were "many times" he thought of getting out, but stuck with it "because it got worthwhile in a limited sense," citing programs he helped develop to prevent teenage suicide and to spur economic development.

DelBello talked about his past and future recently as he relaxed with his two dogs in the northern Westchester home he and his wife transformed from a standard ranch-style house into free-flowing space by removing walls and adding win 1 LOST FOUND ed active in the national party and was head of the National Association of Counties. His own good looks, spontaneous manner and accessibility along with his attractive wife made some see DelBello as a model for the modern politician. When New York City Mayor Edward Koch decided to run for governor in 1982 and needed a powerful figure from the suburbs, he turned to DelBello. Koch's idea of a dream ticket was destroyed when then Lt. Gov.

Cuomo beat the mayor in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. In his own primary, DelBello beat Cuomo's choice former Harlem state Sen. H. Carl McCall and the two Italian-Americans were forced together. While his partnership with Cuomo was shaky at first, the two grew to respect each other and by the end of their first year in office, Cuomo was delegating more responsibility to (DelBello.

And while DelBello called. the statutory description of the lieutenant governorship a "nothing job," he said it was a position the officeholder and the governor could turn into something viable. For DelBello that meant managing emergency response planning for the area surrounding two nuclear power plants just north of New York City, readying Stewart Airport for further development, creating regional economic development councils and promoting improved emergency communications systems. ti tn draw national attention to the "crisis" of teenage suicide. The latter is an issue he plans to stay with as co-founder of the National Committee on Teenage Suicide Prevention.

So why didn't DelBello wait around? "I was high enough in state government to be questioning whether I have the opportunity and desire to keep moving forward or whether I've leveled out sufficiently to move out," said DelBello. "Moving forward meant either governor or (U.S.) senator I had no desire to go to Washington." lost in two decades of politics. No longer will life for DelBello revolve around New York state or Westchester County, where he was county executive for nine years, or even Yonkers, where he was councilman, mayor and most recently chairman of the state's Financial Control Board for the financially ailing The new interest in DelBello's life is Signal Environmental Systems, his new business that deals in such things as resource recovery plants, sewage treatment and water purification. He changed the name from Signal Metro Technologies. "The first name really wasn't descriptive enough.

It sounded like a railroad," he says. "We're dealing almost exclusively with environmental areas and I wanted to put that in the name." The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Signal Companies, a LaJolla, company that ranks 54th on the Fortune 500 list. c.VJ f. When DelBello announced his resignation as lieutenant governor in December, the big question was why leave politics to go into private sector especially when the man who was governor, Mario Cuomo, was being talked about as a future presidential candidate. DelBello said at the time that he wanted a fuller personal life, but clearly he was tired of "just sitting around." "The more impossible a thing seems, the more it's worth doing," he once said.

Now, he says he needs a "different challenge." Attractive nnrt nrtirulate. DelBello was the first Democratic mayor of Yonkers in 40 years and when he beat the odds of running in a Republican-dominated county to become Westchester County executive at age 39, Time magazine named him one of the 200 most promising young leaders in the nation. His early support of Carter took him to Washington frequently and he was present at the signing of the Camp David accords, an event he calls "perhaps the most memorable" in his career. He easily recalls details of meeting with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat. Despite the disappointment of Carter's 1980 loss, DelBello remain Bicycle.

DelBello's passion for building and tinkering was something he kept quiet, part of the jealously guarded privacy of his life with his wife, Delores, and son, Damon, who is in his first year of medical school.

"Pornography sexualizes every element in subordination," she said. "It takes it and makes it sexy." Among other things, the proposal would make it possible for a woman to collect damages from a por-nographer if she could prove that an act of violence against her was inspired by a particular piece of his pornography.

Civil liberterians have said the proposal is dangerous because it could begin the censorship of legitimate forms of expression. Ms. Dworkin said the ordinance would not affect true literature, even novels by authors who she said "hate women," like Jerzy Kozinski and Jean Genet. Another participant in the Rochester conference, entitled, "Pornography: New Perspectives On Old Problems," said in an interview that pornography is not necessarily bad even for the women who are photographed. "It's not clear that it's worse working conditions than being a matron in the subway ladies' room," said Kate Ellis, a member of the Feminist Anti-Censorship Task Force of New York City.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) The First Amendment is a tool used by pornographers to make money from the exploitation of women's bodies, says feminist Andrea Dworkin. Pornography is an $8 billion industry in the United States, the author said Friday at a University of Rochester conference. The women who are victims of pornography seem to have no protection under the U.S. Constitution, but the men who get rich from it seek and find protection under the First Amendment's protection of free speech, she said.

"The way it's being used now is to empower pimps," said Ms. Dworkin, co-author of a Minneapolis proposal that would have allowed women to sue pornographers for damages. The Minneapolis proposal was approved twice and vetoed twice last year. A similar ordinance in Indianapolis was passed but was struck down by UJS. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker.

In Suffolk County, N.Y., the legislature last fall rejected a bill that would have banned any material deemed degrading to women, even if was not legally obscene. Ms. Dworkin's proposal in Minneapolis defined pornography as the graphic, sexually explicit subordina-tion of women in words or pictures. B-1 Worts For You!
