1 -item business thriving By BOB HOLLIDAY Pantograph staff David Hendricks has a borderline personality disorder and was under "tremendous Internal stress" if he killed his family, a psychiatrist said yesterday at Hendricks' sentencing hearing. Dr. Richard Rappaport, Chicago, said the personality disorder could cause brief psychotic episodes. He also said that if Hendricks killed his family he may have blocked it from his mind. However, Rappaport, who interviewed Hendricks for the defense but was called as a prosecution witness yesterday, said, "I still don't know if he committed this crime." Rappaport's testimony introduced a possible mitigating circumstance that might influence whether Hendricks, 30, will receive the death penalty.

If a crime is committed under the influence of extreme mental or emotional distress, it can be a mitigating factor at sentencing. "If he did this it was a product of tremendous internal stress," Rappaport said. He said his 124 -hour examination of Hendricks in September led him to conclude that Hendricks exhibited several personality traits, including a charming nature, a need for recognition, cockiness and lack of grief. He said those traits are consistent with symptoms of a person suffering from a mental disorder. However, he said the thing that struck him most about Hendricks was his "coldness towards the issues." "I would have expected much stress," Rappaport said.

He said he expected to see stress in Hendricks because of his loss of family, because he was accused of the killings and because he was in Jail. Rappaport said the lack of stress "made me think something is amiss." 1 McLean County State's Attorney Ronald Dozier asked Rappaport, who also examined mass murderer John Wayne Gacy, if a person with a borderline personality disorder who kills once could kill again. "Yes," Rappaport replied. Rappaport suggested Hendricks may have had "an unresolved tension that was building up." He did not specify what the unresolved tension was, but prosecutors contended during Hendricks' trial in Rockford that Hendricks was torn between his desire for sexual experience and his religion. "The acute break might have been brief, but like a teapot, it might have been simmering," Rappaport said.

Besides the "internal stress" that By SHARON GILFAND Pantograph staff There was a song in the early 70s that teased, "If you want' it, here it is, come and get it. But you'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast." That sums up the dwindling inventory of a business in Normal's Landmark Mall. It opened Monday and might well be out of business by the end of today with all of its 1,000 Cabbage Patch Kids gone. Mike and Pat Wilson of Normal opened the business after receiving 1,002 dolls through a "friend of a friend of a friend," with the shipment coming out of West Germany. To avoid chaos, they kept advertising to a minimum.

And it has worked. "I've had so much fun," Mrs. Wilson said. They have been spared hordes of shoppers in long lines, the punching and hitting scenes to get the dolls, and the verbal abuse heaped upon store em ployees when the supply is depleted. "We want to keep it controlled and keep it a very pleasant experience," Wilson said.

About 20 people leisurely perused the several hundred dolls left yesterday afternoon. After the shipment arrived, the Wilsons gave the first two dolls to their children, Amy, 7, and Brian, 4. But it seems Cabbage Patch Kids are not being bought mostly for children. At least 60 percent of those purchased are for adults adding to their collections, said Janice McMillan, 1442 E. College Normal, who is helping at the shop.

She is Mrs. Wilson's sister. She said one woman in her 40s has "been here every day since we opened" and bought 20 of the dolls, some for friends out of state. At $53 a doll, that adds up to $1,060 a lot of green stuff. Wilson said his costs are higher than some stores because he had to ship them out of West Germany "where they weren't selling well" and had to pay a couple of middlemen along the way.

Dee Krieg, 110 Riss Drive, Normal, was at the shop to get doll No. 6 for her collection. But having a lot to choose from can take time. "I've been in here like an hour," she said. There was, however, one child there, getting her first doll.

Nancy Belz, 106 E. Mulberry Normal, made several earlier tries to buy one, but came away empty-handed. This time, her 4-year-old Kara got one. Another woman, who re-' mained anonymous, said she had bought seven dolls for other people including her 63-year-old mother "whom I knew wanted one but she wouldn't admit it." Now she was thinking of getting one for herself. "I have two little boys and this is the only way I will ever get a little girl," she said.

By BERNIE SCHOENBURG Springfield bureau chief SPRINGFIELD Proposed salary increases for members of the General Assembly, other state officials and judges survived a challenge by lame-duck legislators yesterday. But the Coalition for Political Honesty filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court seeking to block the state's treasurer and comptroller from paying out the raises. The crucial vote on the second set of pay recommendations from the Compensation Review Board came in the Senate yesterday on a 29-23 vote to block the raises. Thirty votes were needed. The House later voted 76-31 to reject the report, but the vote had no real effect.

The way the Com pensation Review Board system is designed, raises go into effect if either the House or Senate fails to block proposed raises. The House and Senate both voted in December to block the board's first report. If the revised set of raises are not blocked by the Cook County court, legislators sworn in yesterday for the two-year life of the 84th General Assembly will receive two increases of $2,250, one effective yesterday and one effective July 1. Their new annual salary, by midsummer, will be $32,500, up from $28,000. Members of the Senate who did not face election this year, however, would not get raises until 1986.

The governor's salary would go to $85,000 from the current $58,000 in 1987, and other statewide elected officials would see similar, though smaller, increases. Members of the governor's Cabinet, judges, and regulatory agency officials would tum," he said. Bill Weber, executive director of the McLean County Economic Development Council, said a proposed enterprise zone on the west side of the Twin Cities is meant for a large manufacturing firm. That 4Vi-acre site is being considered by Mitsubishi. Weber also said Bloomington-Normal might be attractive because a manufacturer could draw from the available work force here and in Peoria.

Thompson said he spoke yesterday with GM Chairman Roger said yesterday that she had just finished watching "M-A-S-H" on television and was sitting in her living room knitting when she heard a.commotion in the apartment next door. She said she got up, walked into her kitchen and nearly opened the door when a man wearing a ski mask broke her kitchen window. When the man stuck his left hand through the window and tried to unlock' the door, the woman stabbed him in the hand with one of her 10-inch knitting needles. "I made a dive with my knitting needle and hit my mark," said the woman, who described herself as "over 65" years old. "It bothered me that I hurt somebody, but I guess better him than me." The 5-foot-2-inch woman said she was frightened and that fear made her stab the man.

"All I far in Ag It. Twin Cities among state suitors for GM plant receive raises of 12 percent to 50 percent, effective yesterday. The votes seeking to block the pay raises came during the last minutes of the 83rd General Assembly, before swearing-in ceremonies for the 84th. The Illinois Constitution does not allow lawmakers or elected statewide officials to receive pay raises during their terms in office, so if there had not been action yesterday, it would have been two years before many increases could take effect. Opponents of the pay raises said the Legislature's action on the final day of a session is similar to action taken in 1978 to pass an $8,000 pay raise in one 'day.

That is blamed for the petition drive that led to a 1980 Constitutional amendment to reduce House membership by a third. But Sen. Arthur Berman, D-Chi-cago, who sponsored the legislation Please see RAISES, next page Smith, who arranged for today's meeting. He said Smith "seemed eager" to consider Illinois in the automaker's nationwide search. The state Department of Commerce and Community Affairs will work with any community that would like to sell itself as a possible site for the manufacturing plant, the governor said.

He did not favor one site over another. The manufacturing process to be used for the Saturn relies heavily on robotics and computerization, and Thompson said access to job training might play an important role in selection of the site. could think of was what might happen to me if he got in," she said. "God was with me, and he gave me the strength to do What I did." After being stabbed, the man groaned, withdrew his hand which still had the knitting needle in it and fled, the woman said. Before breaking her window, the man broke her neighbor's window, but apparently was unable to get into that apartment, the woman said.

The neighbor wasn't home when the incident occurred, said the who added that she was thankful because her neighbor is such a "frail person." After her experience Tuesday night, the woman said, she advises all elderly people "to have something handy" to use as a weapon. By EMIUE KREBS Pantograph staff Twin Cities officials applauded Governor Thompson's announcement yesterday that Bloomington-Normal would be among sites considered if General Motors Corp. decides to build a plant in Illinois. The announcement marked the second time in less than a week that the Bloomington-Normal has been linked with an automobile manufacturing plant. Bloomington-Normal is among six Midwestern cities in the running for a plant planned by Mitsubishi Motors a Japanese automaker.

Bloomington Mayor Richard Buchanan was pleased with the news, but said he had no details on Thompson's announcement. "I've felt for many years the Bloomington-Normal community is not nearly as unsuited for the right kind of manufacturing enterprise as some have claimed," he said. Buchanan also said speculation about the Mitsubishi plant, which would employ 1,000 people, might have played a role in yesterday's announcement. "These things create their own chemistry and their own momen Knitting needle fends off attacker Reagan calls 1985 'year of dialogue' Thompson plans to meet with General Motors officials today in Detroit in an effort to sell Illinois as the site for the new plant, which would produce a new line of sub-compact Saturn cars. The governor said Illinois will be "first in the door" to meet with GM about the plant, which would employ 6,000 people in two shifts.

In his statement, Thompson mentioned the Quad Cities, Kankakee, the south Chicago suburbs, the Bloomington-Pekin-Peoria "triangle" or a site between Springfield and Decatur as possible locations. that we are going forward on research." Asked whether Star Wars would be a bargaining chip, he said, "No, oh, no." Reagan said he does not like the term "Star Wars," and said his goal is to develop a moral and humane system that would destroy weapons instead of people. "Our objective in these talks will be the reduction of nuclear weapons Our ultimate objective is complete elimination of nuclear weapons," he said. The news conference was Reagan's first in six months, and came 11 days before he takes the oath of office for a second term. The president appeared good-natured and relaxed, laughing several times as he answered questions.

But just as he left the podium, he slipped and almost fell, catching his balance at the last moment. Pleas see HENDRICKS, next page 148th Yeor. 10th Day. THE WEATHER Snow tapering off to flurries today. Cold.

TIDAY oOo WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan said last night that 1985 should be "a year of dialogue and negotiations" with the Soviet Union. But he said he intends to press ahead with space-based anti-missile research even while putting his "Star Wars" plan "on the table with everything else" when arms talks resume.

The president told a nationally televised news conference that the United States will be "flexible, patient' and determined" when the talks resume, with the ultimate objective of "complete elimination of nuclear weapons."
