Freeman, who introduced an FBI undercover agent to Netters, was convicted of conspiracy and aiding in an extortion. BAY AREA Oakland sets homicide record OAKLAND For the third straight year, 1991 ended in the crime-ridden streets of Oakland with a record number of homicides. And it looks like 1992 will be more of the same.

Late New Year's Eve an Oakland man was shot and he died early Wednesday morning the first homicide of the year. Oakland reported 165 homicides last year, breaking murder records set the previous two years. Overall, Oakland's murder rate of 44 homicides per 100,000 residents places the city among the top six murder capitals in the nation. Sacramento, with roughly the same population, had 17 homicides per 100,000 residents. San Francisco, with about twice Oakland's population, had 13 murders per 100,000 people.

Police report few serious incidents along the parade route. By JOHN HORN Associated Press PASADENA The 103rd Tournament of Roses kicked off the- New Year on Wednesday with a morale-boosting top award for General Motors' float and a dose of discord over thorny issues dogging the parade. American Indians protested honoring a descendant of Christopher Columbus as co-grand marshal, and animal-rights activists staged a small demonstration. But the crowd was festive and the weather was spectacular. A million people lined the 514-mile parade route, set against the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains.

They were treated to spectacular weather and 60 floats depicting everything from swans to the starship Enterprise. General Motors, beset with problems that will force plant closures nationwide, won the Sweepstakes Trophy for the entry "Looking to the Future," a float depicting planetary exploration. In another victory of sorts, GM's entry, covered with roses, seaweed, onion seeds, irises, rhododendrons and other flora, rolled grandly on while American Honda Motor "America's History Book" float needed a tow truck. GM plans to close its nearby Van Nuys assembly plant in August, which prompted the United Auto Workers to withdraw as a float sponsor. Four members of the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals marched alongside the GM float for about 30 seconds to protest the automaker's use of animals in crash tests.

The protesters, three dressed as a rabbit, pig and rat, carried signs reading "Cut animals, not jobs" and "Animal Crash Tests Keep GM in the Dark Ages." They were quickly taken away by deputies. Rose Queen Tannis Ann Turren-tine, 17, rode down Colorado Boulevard on a tiered float with her princesses. "I always wanted to ride on a float, but I never imagined it would be a queen's float," she said. The Rose Parade, featuring the theme "Voyages of Discovery," drew an estimated 1 million spectators, police spokeswoman Janet Hinton said. About 70 people were arrested, mostly for drunkenness.

One of those arrested was an ex-convict wearing a sheriffs uniform and carrying a pistol, said Deputy Irma Bacerra of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. Laymoine Bolton, 26, walked away from a Los Angeles-area halfway house in 1990, but investigators didn't know details of his criminal record. Bolton was booked for investigation of impersonating a peace officer. The floats included depictions of a mythical Chinese bird, an American eagle, a blimp, hot-air balloon, rocket ship, fishing boat, butterfly. Mother Goose, a teddy bear, an oil well, a stagecoach and water flumes.

The first float in the 2'2-hour parade featured flowery representations of the sailing ships Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage to the New World. Spanish aristocrat Cristobal Colon, a descendant of Columbus, and U.S. Rep. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, were co-grand marshals. "I am very proud to be here on behalf of American Indians everywhere," said Campbell, who rode a horse and wore a Cheyenne riding suit and headdress.

Campbell was named co-grand marshal to appease Indian groups angry over the selection of a descendant of Columbus. Colon said, "I have had from the beginning the feeling that the Indians could participate in the parade because they are an important part in the history of the United States." Between 50 and 100 people staged a noisy demonstration outside the Plaza Pasadena mall to protest the Columbus theme. Former hostage Joseph Cicippio, who said he dreamed of going to a Rose Parade during more than five years of captivity in Lebanon, viewed the parade as the guest of honor. KERN COUNTY Publisher of Delano Record dies DELANO George B. Keyzers, former publisher of the Delano Record, has died at the age of 79.

Keyzers, who died Saturday in Delano, purchased the semiweekly newspaper in 1950 and operated it until January 1985, when it was sold to Reed Print owner of several community newspapers in Kern County.

The 81-year-old Nobel laureate was in serious condition Wednesday in the intensive care unit at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation.

Doctors said it was too early to tell how she was responding to treatment. "Her condition is essentially unchanged, but it has not worsened," Dr. Patricia Aubanel told an afternoon news conference. Mother Teresa was hospitalized Dec. 26 after she became ill in Tijuana, Mexico.

She had been completing a worldwide tour of facilities of her Missionaries of Charity, a religious order that cares for the suffering on six continents. The tour began in November in Tanzania. On Wednesday, Mother Teresa could be seen in her hospital room clutching rosary beads and praying with sisters of her order, Dr. Paul Teirstein said. She is eager to leave the hospital and travel to Rome as part of her worldwide tour, but she needs to be reminded constantly pause at noon each day during the new year to pray for the recovery of the merciful Roman Catholic nun.

"All of us who in some way try to put Mother's teachings into practice request that people pray with us every day," said Dr. Anita Figueredo, a longtime friend and member of Coworkers of Mother Teresa International, a global organization of religious and lay followers. Figueredo said that the sisters of the Tijuana mission where Mother Teresa fell ill have been eating only bread and water at night in devotion to her recovery. Sisters of the order also were praying in Mother Teresa's home of Calcutta, India. Catholics throughout San Diego prayed for her at each Mass.

Mother Teresa was hospitalized for treatment of bacterial pneumonia. On Saturday, an inadequate blood supply caused angina, or chest pain. Doctors say the pneumonia triggered a brief congestive heart failure. On Sunday, cardiologists Aubanel and Teirstein performed a balloon angioplasty, a procedure to force open coronary arteries. Teirstein said it may be necessary to repeat the procedure within six months.

A coronary bypass would be necessary only if her condition worsened dramatically, he said.

three-fourths of that gap. GM announced Dec. 18 it would eliminate 74,000 jobs and close 21 plants in North America over the next four years. Brown attacked retired GM chairman Roger Smith, who he said is getting more than a million dollars a year "to play golf." "General Motors is loaded with fat and overhead at the top," he said. "Not only do they pay their executives obscene salaries, but at the same time Roger Smith is getting $1.2 million a year, at the same time they're laying off people." Brown was the lone presidential aspirant campaigning in New Hampshire on New Year's Day.

He and Republican challenger Patrick Buchanan spent New Year's Eve campaigning at Concord's First Night industry as being "loaded with fat at the top." American auto executives earn many times more than their Japanese counterparts and focus on personal gain and short-term profit at the expense of efficiency, productivity and employee morale, he said. "And for the president to go over there, hat in hand, to go to the Japanese and sip sake and beg them not to sell Japanese cars to America is humiliating," Brown, 53, said in a telephone interview. Bush, accompanied by the chairmen of the three major U.S.-owncd automakers and 18 other business leaders, is due in Tokyo on Jan. 7 to discuss ways of narrowing Japan's $41 billion trade surplus with the United States. Autos and car parts account for CONCORD, N.H.

Democratic presidential aspirant Jerry Brown on Wednesday ridiculed President Bush's trade mission to Asia and urged him to stop "begging the Japanese not to sell cars to America." "I'd tell the president to turn Air Force One around and, instead of landing in Tokyo, go to Detroit" and cut the salary of the General Motors' chairman, Brown said during a visit to the leadoff presidential primary state.
