FALWELL, from Page 1A the rebels- in Nicaragua and will help resist "possible communistic takeovers in Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, South Africa and all over the world." Falwell will be president of both groups.

The federation will spend $12 million a year, Falwell said, an increase from the Moral Majority's $7 million. At a news conference here Friday, Falwell said Vice-President George Bush will speak at the first meeting of the federation in Washington on Jan. 23-24. A Bush aide confirmed' that Bush was planning to attend. Such an appearance might help Bush, a likely contender in the 1988 Republican presidential primaries, solidify his support among conservatives.

Members of the Bush camp acknowledged that he might alienate, some liberal or moderate Republicans if he were perceived as closely tied to the Moral Majority. But they said FalwelTs support was strategically important to Bush and his rivals because it will be almost impossible to win the Republican presidential nomination without the religious right's support. FalWell, a Lynchburg, Baptist preacher, said he was "not a Candidate for any political office" and was supporting Bush for president in 1988. According to political professionals in both parties, Falwefl's ability to sway the electorate appears to have slipped at least in his home state since helping elect Jimmy Carter president in 1976 and getting out the vote for President Reagan in the last two elections. His endorsement, they said, might cost a candidate more votes than it gains.

National polls by both parties also have detected strong negative reactions to Falwell. JOHN BUCHANAN, chairman of People for the American Way, a group formed mainly to counter the Moral Majority, said in a statement, "By changing its name and charter, Moral Majority is finally acknowledging its true identity: a political organization advocating right-wing positions." He said Falwell now should "play by the same rules" as others in the political arena: "He should stop pretending to be chairman of the Lord's political action committee and stop suggesting that to disagree with Jerry Falwell is to side with Satan against God." Paul Kirk chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement: "This public relations name change speaks volumes about the reputations of both Jerry Falwell and his organization. A Liberty Federation won't stand for true liberty any more than the Moral Majority represents the moral values of most Americans." Falwell said the Moral Majority has attracted 6.5 million Americans since it was chartered in June 1979. L'PI and AP contributed to this report. NASSAU Round Trip Air 99.

Conditions in the prison were declared unconstitutional in 1983 by Circuit Judge Arthur Recht, who said the conditions were cruel and unusual punishment. He cited such problems as overcrowding, rats in the cells, sewage in the kitchen and near-freezing temperatures in winter. Officials acknowledge that many reforms Recht ordered have not been made. Jeff Atkinson, 22, who was serving a life sentence for murder, was taken from the prison shortly before 10 a.m. Friday, said Assistant Corrections Commissioner William Whyte.

Earlier, Jerrie Clutter of the Corrections Department had confirmed the death of inmate Richard Harold Dean, 31, who was serving a 15-year sentence for kidnapping. Kent Slie, 38, was the first inmate killed. Officials were told his throat had been slashed but were awaiting PRISON, from Page 1A that mock trials were held during the two daysrinmates controlled the prison, and he believes informers were targeted.

S2C Artist Patricia Hill Burnett called the vote on women members a "very important step for the DAC." Burnett, who is allowed to use the club because her late father and late husband were members, said she "always dreamed of the time when women would be allowed to be members." "For any club in downtown Detroit to survive, they need women members. A number of years ago, I helped liberate the front door (of the DAC).

They wouldn't let women in, so we brought a group of women in to protest and within two days they let us use the front door." ASKED IF SHE cared whether women might be allowed to join the DAC, Florence Kenyon, executive director of the Women's Economic Club of Detroit, burst out laughing. "Do I really care? Not really," she said, laughing more. "It's a little bit late I'd say, but better late than never. Do I really care?" she said, sighing audibly. "Oh dear I guess they need the women now." DAC, from Page 1A and today, when you say, do I care, I guess care in principle." TINDLATER RECALLED a story she wrote when she was a Free Press reporter about posh clubs and restaurants that discriminated against women.

"Women couldn't sit at the bar in the back room of the Caucus Club. We had ta go in the side entrance of the DAC. -Part of me says private clubs should be able to dictate their membership, fcnd there's also the dismaying feeling for me of knowing how much business is conducted in clubs and locked rooms and on golf courses." Micfiigan Supreme Court Justice Patricia Boyle said she didn't care personally whether women are allowed" io join the DAC. "But i- care for whatever women want belong, yes, a great deal," Boyleiaid.

Thawing ice eases floods ALGONAC Ice was thawing around homes on the St. Clair River, where flooding caused some evacuations this week. Bulldozers were clearing streets of ice washed up by the flood, Mayor Jim Steinmetz said.
