DETROIT FREE PRESSTHURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1987 1 5A Wrestlemania helps city prepare for papal mass 1 ers of Wrestlemania III will warm up" the crowd with performances by church choirs. And alcohol will not be, served at the papal mass, he said. Police and church officials said transportation to the dome should be more controlled in September than it il likely to be Sunday, in part many local churches will bus parishio-, ners to the Silverdome. In addition, planners are scheduling the arrival of patrons early to avoid a crunch at afternoon mass. Miles said the traffic flow the stadium on Sunday will be video- taped from a police airplane for future reference and he encouraged wrestling fans to use shuttle buses from downtown Pontiac.

Security for the pope will be much tighter than for Hulk Hogan and noST-, just because Hogan is known as a man who can take care of himself. For stadium officials, that means, devising a system that permits speedy, access to the dome Sept. 19 while screening people for weapons. Pontiac police officials said Secret Service agents will attend day's wrestling show to assess potential security problems in handling a crowd of 88,000.

Organizers of Wrestlemania HI and the papal mass intend to seat thousands of people on the arena floor In addition to the usual seating arrangements. "We'll learn a lot about flow pattern and how people move through different layers of the stadium," Miles said. "It's the perfect opportunity to spot any problems that we might have." THE REV. William Easton, site planning co-ordinator for the papal mass, said he will visit the Silverdome Saturday to review seating arrangements for Wrestlemania HI "to get some ideas to bounce off our design developers." Officials of the archdiocese are reluctant to draw too many parallels between Wrestlemania III and the visit by Pope John Paul II. None of the archdiocese officials said they would attend the wrestling event.

"The crowd for wrestling will probably be slightly different from a congregation. At least, I hope they will," Father Eastoh said. Archdiocese spokesman Jay Ber-man said it was unlikely that promot Bakkers find seclusion in Mm Springs BAKKER, from Page 1A "Keep Out" and "Private Property No Trespassing." Three bodyguards patrolled the grounds behind masonry fences and heavy shrubs. Service personnel said they have been followed step by step by those bodyguards while in the house. An electrician was ordered to leave his toolbox outside, and allowed to bring in only one or two tools at a time.

A WORKER SAID he had been employed at the single-story, Spanish-style home for three weeks, yet had never seen the Bakkers. "My wife cleans houses and she saw Tammy last week," he said. "Jim Bakker asked her how much she charged, and she said $1 00 a day. He said, 'OK. Plan to come three or four times a week." My wife thought, 'Hey, that's But the second day, they told her things had changed and not to come back again." As a maintenance contractor arrived for a scheduled 7:30 a.m.

cleaning of the Bakker's pool Tuesday, a guard confronted him at the front gate. "This Is not agood time," the guard said. The contractor asked when he should return. Said the guard: "They'll call you." The Bakkers have been in Palm Springs since January. PTL officials said that's when Tammy Bakker was hospitalized with pneumonia and complications from medication.

Since then, PTL has said she also was treated in California for drug dependency. Neighbors of the Bakkers said Palm Springs, which has a population of 38,000 and lies 120 miles southeast of Los Angeles, is unaccustomed to the kind of media attention the Bakkers are drawing. Although it is a playground for the rich and famous with 40 golf courses scattered along the Coa-chella Valley and with such street names as Gene Autry Drive and Dinah Shore Drive it is a city that values quiet. THE TELEVISION AND newspaper reporters who have come and gone outside the Bakkers' home have been viewed as an interruption of the genteel routine. U.S.

indicts 3 in tax scheme AP An unidentified man collects mail outside the Palm Springs home of TV evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker. The house, which sits near the base of the snowcapped San Jacinto Mountains, is the second the Bakkers have had in Palm Springs. The first, a home In nearby Rancho Mirage, that they purchased in 1984, is for sale. Real estate agent Karen Sterns said the asking price is $399,000, Including furnishings. The Bakkers bought their current home about three weeks ago, said real estate people who asked not to be identified.

Another person familiar with the transaction said earlier this month that the cost was approximately $600,000. At that price, it's far from the most expensive property in Palm Springs. Advertisements list homes up to $1.35 million. The Bakkers' new home is a 30-minute drive from the Betty Ford Center, part of the Elsenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage. There, Tammy Bakker has been treated for drug dependency, according to a hospital official and a person who said he was in the program with her.

Both asked not to be identified. Hospital officials said Tammy Bakker made good progress. Not long ago, she and her husband attended a crafts fair in Indio, about an hour southwest of Palm Springs. They created a stir among the Mexican and Indian artisans as they strolled through the booths, holding hands. SCHEME, from Page 1A The indictment said that between 1978 and '1983, the defendants conspired to defraud the government by arranging "rigged and fraudulent" transactions in government securities and false tax deductions based on phony trading losses and interest expenses.

More than $350 million in false deductions was passed on to partners in three tax shelters, according to the indictment. In addition, the defendants are alleged to have sold more than $200 million in phony trading losses and interest expenses to other entities and individuals to be used as tax deductions. The indictment said that more than $1.1 billion in trading losses and interest expenses were generated by the scheme, but they were offset by fictitious gains. The indictment said the defendants, using a number of shell corporations they control, arranged for bogus stock transactions that resulted in the creation of false documents certifying the tax losses. Laurence Tisch, a multimillionaire real estate magnate as well as CBS boss, was said by the indictment to" have reported a net loss of $1.1 million" Preston Tisch reported a lossjof $480,000.

The indictment said Andy Warhoh reported a loss of $600,000, while" Lear, producer of the television hit "AH" in the Family," reported a loss of million. Television actor Michael Landon reported a $1 million loss while Greene reported a- $330,000 loss. Both were stars of the 1960s television "hit' "Bonanza."

As they tried unsuccessfully to revive her, officers A funeral service for Josephine McCallum will be held at 10 a.m.

Saturday at Resurrection Church, Lansing. blew the prison siren, notifying in mates to return to their cells. Later, the commissary supervisor mentioned that he had seen Hill with McCallum and he and other inmates known to be in the area around the time of the attack were strip-searched in their cells. The employes said the suspects ini tially included Hill, his best friend, and two other men who had scratches on their bodies. Hill and his friend are now Our entire collect i ion of rings; and Dra I necklaces, bracelet wl th diamonds and other precious believed to be the only suspects, employes said.

One employe, who spoke on condition that he not be named, said Hill was a chronic troublemaker, typicaf of the type of inmates moved to Jackson because of overcrowding at other prisons. "Jackson tends to be like a city dump," he said. "It's the place where all the other prisons like to dump their garbage inmates. If an inmate threatens to beat up a staff member at another prison, they throw him in back of car and send him to Jackson. So we have a big concentration of troublemakers here.

It's one of the reasons other prisons run so well." THE CONCENTRATION of dangerous inmates, one Jackson prison ad 35 off known for a long time that there were problems with staffing in the prisons. We shouldn't have to deal with disasters like this. We'll finish this thing out and it's my hope that this will be the last guard murdered." AT JACKSON Wednesday, prison spokesman Daniel Welihan said operations returned to normal at the north and south prison complexes. But he said the 2,370 inmates in Central Complex were let out of their cells only to eat, and in groups of 50 to 150. "There are no inmates roaming around and we plan on it being that way until Monday," Welihan said.

He also said warden Dale Foltz met with supervisors Wednesday to evaluate staffing patterns to ensure officer safety. Welihan also said the State Police had narrowed its original list of four suspects down to two inmates, but he declined to identify theni. He said State Police technicians obtained a blood sample from an inmate Wednesday, but he couldn't confirm or deny a report that the suspects would be moved to a maximum-security prison near Vpsilanti. State police in Jackson said they had conferred with Jackson County Prosecutor Joe Filip, who was awaiting the outcome of laboratory tests to determine whether to charge anyone in the killing. MEANWHILE, prison employes provided more details of the events surrounding McCallum's slaying.

They said a commissary supervisor discovered Hill missing from his warehouse job and found him with McCallum at her post outside the auditorium between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. They said the supervisor apparently escorted Hill back to his job. Then, about 8:15 a.m., an inmate playing a piano on the stage of the auditorium heard noise at one end of the stage, looked around and found a portable radio, clothing, McCallum's identification card and blood. He the discovery to the prison control center staff, who summoned officers to the auditorium.

Moments later, officers and the commissary supervisor found McCal SLAYING, from Page 1A Press also showed that Hill, imprisoned for 11 crimes he committed after a 1984 parole, has chronic behavioral problems. The records show that Hill should have been kept at a more restrictive prison, based on department policy. McCALLUM, who worked in Central Complex, the 57-acre walled portion of the State Prison of Southern Michigan, is the second corrections officer killed in the line of duty in Michigan. She's the first female officer to be killed in the line of duty since 1 982 federal court order allowed women to work in penitentiaries at Jackson, Ionia and Marquette. It remained unclear Wednesday whether McCallum was sexually assaulted.

As new details emerged about the killing, state lawmakers vowed to investigate two controversial state policies that may have contributed to the killing allowing probationary employes, like McCallum, to work alone, and permitting women to work in close contact with male prisoners. McCallum, who had worked four months at Jackson, should not have been working alone, according to union officials. They said the Department of Corrections interpretation of the Michigan Corrections Organization contract to allow probationary employes to work alone in close proximity to supervisors or experienced officers violates the agreement and common sense. STATE REP. Philip Hoffman, R- Morton, a member of the House Corrections Committee, believes McCallum's isolation from other employes may have contributed to her death.

"The department's saying those conditions are isolated and generally not something they could've prevented," Hoffman said. "But I find it darn awful hard to understand how it'd be an inmate who found her and not another guard. Certainly you're putting guards in extreme conditions, day in and out. "I'm at the point that I think heads should roll in the department. They've ministrator said, could cause problems as the weather gets warmer.

"Those of us inside are convinced there's going to be a major incident, and probably out here (Jackson), this mm summer, he said. "Assaults against officers are going off the charts already and summer's not even here yet. Summer's always our hot spot. These guards are being put into situations where they're so helpless that it's becoming a joke. But it's a joke that's going to be disastrous, not funny.

"The public wants us to keep these guys for the duration of their sentence. The public wants us to protect them. And we try to. But it's getting increasingly difficult to go inside every day and hope to God we don't get injured or killed in the process. And as it gets hotter, it's going to get worse.
