President Reagan's boyhood hometown played host to a group that is walking across the nation in protest of nuclear warfare.

Church bells tolled and about 300 people demonstrators and townspeople "froze" on the Lee County Courthouse lawn Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. "As the bells rang, what had been important suddenly became unimportant. We are reminded how fragile we are," said the Rev. Tom Shepherd, pastor of First Christian Church.

Mayor James Dixon welcomed the marchers, and exchanged the Dixon flag for a key to Peace City, which is what marchers named their camp on the banks of the Rock River. "Love and peace are the ultimate goals of all of us," Dixon said. Marchers, including about 50 from other countries, were eager to discuss their aims. One carried a sign reading, "Reagan save your Other signs read: "The Soviets stopped testing, why don't we" and "Test peace, not nuclear weapons." Jerry Rubin, a marcher from Los Angeles, said, "We're here in Reagan's hometown to appeal to him to join with Gorbachev in a comprehensive test ban treaty. We' want people to send letters to Congress.

We want no militarization of outer space." In Chicago, two other groups opposed to nuclear weapons commemorated the Hiroshima blast where the atomic age began the former site of the University of Chicago's Stagg Field. The 100 protesters sang, read the recollections of a Hiroshima survivor and meditated silently. A mushroom-shaped bronze sculpture now stands at the site where physicist Enrico Fermi and his colleagues started the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in 1942. "There are two purposes to this commemoration," said Bernice Bild, executive director of the Illinois Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. "One is, certainly, to remember.

The other is to act." Per Month AP Photo Peace: Hinton Harrison of Aspen, flashes a peace sign to passersby in Dixon while on a peace march across the country to promote nuclear disarmament.

In a typical incident, one car driven by a "stunt driver" participating in the scheme would position itself in front of an innocent motorist's car. An accomplice vehicle would cut in front of the first car, whose driver would slam on the brakes, with the innocent motorist rear-ending him, Daley said. The people in the scheme would then feign injuries and file insurance claims against the innocent motorists' insurance companies, Daley said. The doctor, identified as Dr. Azu-cena Fabi of Highland Park, allegedly treated about 20 percent of the phony victims, said Assistant State's Attorney Thomas X.

Smith. The doctor was indicted on two counts of perjury for accounts she gave of examinations of people who feigned injuries, Daley said. CHICAGO (AP) A Cook County grand jury on Thursday indicted 146 people, including two attorneys and a physician, on felony charges they participated in an insurance fraud ring that staged accidents on expressways, prosecutors said. The attorneys worked as ringleaders in the scheme, which involved 39 incidents and resulted in payments of more than $360,000 by at least 17 insurance companies, said Cook County State's Attorney Richard M. Daley.

'The" ring caused wrecks, usually with senior citizens or women in late-model cars, on Chicago-area expressways, mostly during rush hours, Daley said at a news conference. The schemers then filed false insurance claims for damages and injuries, he said. accidents usually involved unsuspecting motorists who were 'picked because they appeared iikely to carry auto insurance," Daley said.
