voice stilled at 87 Red-haired actor provided the voice for Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat and other cartoon characters LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Sterling Holloway, whose distinctive voice was that of Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat and a host of other cartoon favorites, has died. He was 87. Holloway, who also appeared on stage, television and in dozens of films that dated to the silent-movie era, died of cardiac arrest Sunday at Good Samaritan Hospital, his agent, Kingsley Colton, said Monday. The actor, whose red hair and raspy-but-gentle tenor made him widely recognizable, often played country bumpkins, delivery boys or eccentrics. He also made records for children, recounting such stories as "Peter and the Wolf" and "'The Sorcerer's Apprentice." "Sterling just had a unique voice," said Rick Dempsey, director of Disney animated voices.

"It was a high-tenor, raspy voice unlike anything you heard. He was the first spoken teddy bear. That was a contradiction, unlike the ferocious bears out in nature." As the voice of the honeygrubbing bear named Pooh, Holloway was heard in four film shorts, three of which were combined in the 1983 movie "'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." Holloway's voice was also featured prominently in 1967's "The Jungle Book." He played the snake Kaa in the classic Disney animated musical, singing "Trust in Me," as he hypnotized wolf boy Mowgli. His career spanned silent movies, talkies, the stage and television Sterling Holloway His other Disney animated films credits included "Dumbo" (as Messenger Stork) and "The Aristocats." Holloway's acting career began in the silent era with a series of short comedies, and his voice helped him easily make the transition to "talkies." His film credits include: "Gold Diggers of 1933," "Casey at the Bat," "American Madness," "Hell Below," "Life Begins at Forty," "Professor Beware," "The Bluebird" and a "A Walk in the Sun." Others were "The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend," "Shake, Rattle and Rock" and "Live a Little Love a Little." He appeared in stage productions of "The Wizard of Oz" and "'The Gaities." Holloway was a regular on television in the 1950s and '60s. He played Waldo the inventor on "The Life of Riley" from 1953 to 1958 and was Buck Singleton, first mate on an inept charter boat crew, in "The Baileys of Balboa" in 1964 and 1965.

Born on Jan. 14, 1905, in Cedartown, Holloway was graduated from Georgia Military Academy and studied at New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He is survived by a son. Guardian Angels founder admits he faked episodes NEW YORK (AP) Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa has admitted that he faked his own kidnapping and several stunts that grabbed headlines for his volunteer crime-fighting organization in its early years. Sliwa said he decided to tell the, truth about the half-dozen times he lied because of his recent real brush with death he was ambushed and shot in a cab and the outpouring of affection he received while recuperating.

"I felt a bit unworthy," Sliwa, 38, said in an interview published today in the New York Post. He insisted that the shooting last June and a baseball-bat attack in April were real.

Bill Clinton says he's offering his hand in friendship to the opposition in Washington, but the president-elect also is ready to take his case to the people if these newfound friends become enemies. Campaigning for freshman Sen. Wyche Fowler in Georgia, Clinton said Monday he was "dismayed" by Republicans who said Fowler's defeat in the Georgia runoff today would make it easier to block Clinton's legislative plans. "I don't believe the American people voted on Nov. 3 for more paralysis, more blame or more finger or more opportunity to shut this country down," Clinton said.

"I think they voted to build this country up, to change things, to shake things up." The comments were a subtle contrast to Clinton's efforts last week during a visit to Washington to establish himself as a consensusbuilder among Democrats and Republicans in Congress. He continued to extend the olive branch Monday, saying, "We cannot afford, to let partisanship undermine our commitment." But aides said Clinton was prepared to fight for his economic revival plan, political reform a and health care cost controls, even if that means taking his legislative package directly to the public, as he did Monday. "He's not going to sit in his office and wait for things to happen," spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers said. "He's going to go out and press his case for change, and that means helping to elect people who will support him and help his package." Following his visit to Georgia, the Arkansas governor met Monday night with Vice Presidentelect Al Gore and Warren Christopher, director of his transition team. Aides said Clinton will announce his "cluster groups" today or Wednesday.

The groups will analyze federal agencies for Clinton. Clinton also will meet Ronald Reagan on Friday in the former president's Los Angeles office. Clinton begins a four-day vacation in California on Friday. Myers said Clinton requested the meeting with Reagan. The Associated Press Clinton got a warm welcome Monday in Georgia where he campaigned for a Senate candidate.

Foley doesn't see Clinton making Carter's mistakes with Congress and films era, at He the in lied House speaker expects the new president to stay in contact with the legislative branch By Jack Nelson The Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON Early in Jimmy Carter's presidency, a White House aide expressed concern that Carter would treat Congress as if i it were the Georgia Legislature and Congress would reciprocate by treating him like Georgia's governor. The fears were realized, resulting in a rocky start for the Carter presidency. President-elect Bill Clinton won't make that kind of mistake, according to House Speaker Tom Foley, who said that Clinton was surprised to learn how relatively infrequently Carter met with Democratic especially rough first year on congressional leaders.

Medical committee endorses trial of AIDS druge OK'd by Congress Vaccine called gp 160 may get large-scale testing BETHESDA, Md.

(AP) A large-scale AIDS vaccine trial that Congress approved without scientific endorsement won qualified backing from a committee of medical specialists. The panel voted unanimously Monday to recommend that the director of the government's National Institutes of Health, Dr. Bernadine Healy, endorse the clinical trial of a candidate vaccine called gp160. But committee members made clear that there was insufficient data under traditional scientific standards for the vaccine to be tested and several speakers at the daylong meeting said they would prefer to wait until more data on the drug could be collected. Congress included $20 million in a defense appropriation bill to pay for national testing of the vaccine.

The action followed lobbying by the drug's manufacturer, MicroGeneSys of Meriden, Conn. Healy and others at NIH criticized Congress for voting for a drug trial that had not been approved by scientific study, but committee members said valuable knowledge could come out of the project. The trial would use vaccines to treat patients who are already infected with the AIDS virus. The purpose of the vaccine would be to strengthen the immune systems of patients so the virus could be controlled or defeated. Shortly before the vote, Dr.

Gregory Dubs, a New York physician infected with the AIDS virus told the panel that if he continued treatment only with the drugs now available, "I know I will surely die."

She, in turn, will issue a report on the advisability of conducting the national trial.

Under the bill passed last month, $20 million was appropriated the trial to be conducted by Defense Department researchers. The statute, however, called for cancellation of the vaccine trial if the NIH, the Food and Drug Administration and the Defense Department recommend against it.
