Associated Press Writer
Sugar prices dropped sharply again last
month, cutting grocery bills by the biggest
amount in over six years, an Associated
Press marketbasket survey shows.
Consumers trying to trim supermarket
budgets also found lower prices for eggs
and scattered but steep declines at the
meat counter.
The AP survey covers 14 food and non-
food items, selected at random. Prices
were checked on March 1, 1973 at one
supermarket in each of 13 cities and have
been rechecked on or about the start of
succeeding months.
The latest survey showed that the
marketbasket bill at the checklist store
declined by an average of 2.7 percent last
month.
The drop was the largest since a 2.9
percent decrease in April 1975 and was the
fourth monthly decline this year. When
today’s prices were compared with those
at the start of 1981, the AP found the
marketbasket bill at the checklist stores
decreased by an average of 6.4 percent
during the five-month period.
The good news was tempered somewhat,
however, by the fact that more than half of
the decline was due to a drop in the price of
sugar. When sugar was not counted in the
totals, the average decrease in the
marketbasket bill at the checklist stores
last month was only 1.3 percent. The
average decrease since the start of the
year was only 2.4 percent.
Sugar prices soared last year because of
expectations that worldwide demand
would exceed production. The demand
went down as sugar got more and more
expensive, and prices started dropping
early this year.
Meat prices went down in some cities
and up in others last month, with no clear
pattern. The AP found, for example, that
the price of a pound of chopped chuck
increased at the checklist store in four
cities last month, decreased in six cities
and was unchanged in three. Center-cut
pork chops went up in six cities, down in
six cities and were unchanged in one city.
Shoppers looking for an alternative,
inexpensive source of protein may want to
check the price of eggs. The AP found the
price dropped last month at the checklist
store in 10 of the cities surveyed.
No attempt was made to weight the AP
survey results according to population
density or in terms of what percent of a
family’s actual grocery outlay each item
represents. The AP did not try to compare
actual arices from city to city. The only
comparisons were made in terms of
percentages of increase or decrease —
saying a particular item went up 10 per-
cent in one city and 6 percent in another.
The items on the AP checklist were:
chopped chuck, center cut pork chops,
frozen orange juice concentrate, coffee,
paper towels, butter, Grade-A medium
white eggs, creamy peanut butter, laundry
detergent, fabric softener, tomato sauce,
milk, frankfurters and granulated sugar.
A 15th item, chocolate chip cookies, was
dropped from the list after the
manufacturer discontinued the package
size used in the survey. The cities checked
were: Albuquerque, N.M., Atlanta,
Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los
Angeles York, Philadelphia, Providence,
R.I., Salt Lake City and Seattle.

(AP) — In
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -
House and Senate negotiators
reached a quick agreement
today on a bill broadening the
state’s bilingual education
program and spending more
money on it.
The agreement went to the
House and Senate for final
approval, which must come
before the Legislature’s
mandatory adjournment at
midnight.
All but one member of the
conference committee, Rep.
Milton Fox, R-Houston, voted to
remove two House amendments
and recommend final approval
of the bill as it passed the
Senate.
Sen. Pete Snelson, D-
Midland, said both Attorney
General Mark White and new
State Education Commissioner
Raymon Bynum agreed with
the decision.
After about 10 minutes of
general discussion, Rep. Hamp
Atkinson, D-New Boston, made
the motion to remove toe House
changes, in view of the nearness
of toe session.

Soviet youth fears
court's decision
By SHARONCOHEN
Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) - Walter
Polovchak likes pizza, hot dogs
and American music. But his
fondness for this country’s
lifestyle is tempered by the fear
that he will be forced to return
to the land of his birth — the
Soviet Union.
The 13-year-old Soviet boy,
who was granted political
asylum last year, fears his
parents will win their bitter
legal struggle and he will be
forced to return with them to
their native Soviet Ukraine,
according to Julian Kulas, the
youth’s attorney.
That fear, Kulas said, has
been simmering since last
summer, when Walter ran
away from home after the
Polovchaks, disenchanted after
a few months in American,
decided to return to their
homeland.
The Cook County Juvenile
Court made Walter a ward of
the state.
But now Walter’s future is in
the hands of the Illinois Ap-
pellate Court. On Wednesday
the court will hear arguments
on his parents’appeal of a lower
court decision that took Walter
away from them.
Kulas believes that according
to Soviet law, Walter has
committed treason and if he
returns to his homeland, he
won’t be prosecuted but be will
be deprived of his rights.
Attorneys for the Polovchaks
■ay Walter never has been a
problem child and the state has
no right to intervene in family
affairs.
While the legal proceedings
drag on, Walter lives with
Ukranian footer parents. git*f
says toe boy is comfortable in
his new home.
“He has adjusted very well,”
Kulas said. “In fact, he has
NEWSMAP
none of the $8.6 million ap-
propriated for the expanded
bilingual education program
could be spent on pilot
programs.
“I do not oppose pilot
programs,” said Rep. Matt
Garcis, D-Garcia, author of the
amendment, “I just want to see
as much money spent as
possibile on actual bilingual
education."
The other change removed by
the conferees said any child not
proficient in English after four
years of bilingual teaching
would be transferred to “an
alternative transitional
language program, such as
English as a second
launguage.”

United States' Hurricane Alley
Fall hurricanes have taken three
general paths into the United States
and the map pinpoints the routes.
1. Coastal path, such as that taken
by Agnes (1972), Donna (I960)
and David (1979). 2. Gulf route as
chosen by Camille (1969) and Bet-
sy (1965). 3. Texas channel, select-
ed by Beulah (1965). Hurricanes
are most likely to occur during the
period of August to October.
NEA Inc
NEW YORK (AP) - Stock
prices soared in heavy trading
today as hopes rose that in-
terest rates have peaked,
sending the Dow Jones average
of 30 industrial stocks above toe
1,000 mark for toe first time in a
month.
The Dow Jones industrials,
which gained 20.03 points last
week, picked up an additional
9.83 to 1,001.58 by noon.
The blue-chip average last
closed over 1,000 on April 29,
after reaching an eight-year
high of 1,024.05 on April 27. But
it plummeted 60.61 points in
response to soaring interest
rates before turning higher in
mid-May.
Stocks rising in price held a 5-
2 lead over losing issues in the
midday tally of New York Stock
Exchange-listed issues.
Expectations that interest
rates will slide heightened
following the release of a
Federal Reserve Board report
late Friday that the nation’s
money supply and business’
demand for bank loans both fell
for the" second straight week.
This morning, Morgan
Guaranty Trust, the nation’s
fifth-largest commercial bank,
No. 6 Chemical Bank and No. 7
Continental Illinois National
Bank all cut their prime lending
rates to 20 percent from 20.5
percent. They followed a
similar move last Thursday by
No. 3 Chase Manhattan Bank.
And Cleveland-based
AmeriTrust, the 39th largest
bank, today reduced its prime
rate a full percentage point to
19.5 percent.
The NYSE’s composite index
of all of its listed common
stocks rose .44 to 77.43. But at
the American Stock Exchange,
toe market value index fell .32
to 376.68.
Volume on the Big Board
volume readied 28.93 million
shares over the firstiwo hours
of trading today, upfrom 21.61
million in the comparable
period Friday.

Forecaster pleads
for precautions
By STEPHEN C. SMITH
Associated Press Writer
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP)
— Forecaster Neil Frank is
something of a latter-day Paul
Revere, delivering more than
100 speeches a year warning
people about hurricanes and
pleading with localities to
prepare before a big storm
strikes.
But most of the time, the
director of the National
Hurricane Center says, people
in vulnerable areas refuse to
listen.
As the six-month Atlantic
hurricane season gets under
way today, Frank again is
reminding coastal dwellers
about the fury of the storms and
the need for evacuation plans.
“When you have a rare event
like a hurricane, it’s the natural
tendency of human beings to
deny the danger,” Frank said.
"They say: ‘It’s just not going
to hit me.’”
People don’t believe that a
hurricane, with winds up to 200
mph, would strike their homes
or push ashore huge waves that
could destroy foundations of
beachfront condominiums, he
said.
Tropical Storm Arlene, bom
in the Caribbean, jumped the
gun on the hurricane season last
month and spread torrential
rains over Jamaica, Cuba and
the Bahamas.
On the average, six Atlantic
hurricanes develop each year.
During 1980, there were 11
named storms, nine of which
became hurricanes.
“We just don’t have the
knowledge to predict what this
season will bring,” Frank said.
“But if you’re going to bet, you

can bet against a hurricane
hitting the southeast Florida
coast. The odds are one in seven
in any one year."
Despite the odds, Frank and
civil defense officials along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts still
are worried. They say residents
in the most vulnerable areas
never have felt the fury of a
major storm.
When Hurricane David came
within a few miles of the heavily
populated Florida Gold Coast in
1979, thousands of elderly
residents in Miami Beach fled
their apartments in a chaotic
evacuation that revealed
glaring deficiencies in Dade
County’s disaster plan.
“I know of only four plans on
total evacuation in the entire
United States,” Frank said.
“They have plans for the
Tampa Bay area; Lee County,
Fla.; the lower Florida Keys,
and Galveston Bay in Texas.
“So I ask, what’s going to
happen if a hurricane hits
Norfolk (Va.) or New Orleans
or the Jersey coast? The whole
Jersey coast is a series of
barrier islands. On weekends
there are hundreds of thousands
of people on those islands.”
Even the four areas with
evacuation plans have serious
problems, he said. A Tampa
Bay-area study shows it would
take 12 to 17 hours to evacuate
all vulnerable areas.
“That assumes no bridges
fail, no cars fail and that there
are no traffic problems," Frank
said. “That also Assumes
people respond im/Awately
when the warning is given, and
I have no reason to believe or
hope that will happen.

CALCUTTA, India (API -
The Bangladesh government
says it has crushed an at-
tempted coup by army officers
who assassinated President
Ziaur Rahman tw o days ago.
Indian news agencies today
reported hard fighting, with at
least 50 people killed, between
rebel troops led by Maj. Gen.
Abul Manzur and forces loyal to
the government in Chittagong,
Bangladesh's second largest
city and major seaport.
The government’s Radio
Dacca said the rebels fled early
today, and the government
regained full control of Chit-
tagong.
The broadcast announced a
reward of 500,000 takas —
$30,300 - for the capture of
Manzur. Two Indian news
agencies reported that the rebel
leader had been captured, but
there was no confirmation of
the reports.
Manzur, the commander of
the Bangladesh army’s 24th
Division in Chittagong, ap-
parently failed to rally other
military units to his cause
despite repeated radio appeals
for their support. It appeared
that the rebellion was confined
to the port city of 1 million
people 140 miles southeast of
Dacca, the capital.
The United News of India said
the rebels took over the Chit-
tagong army base, the local
radio station and two strategic
bridges leading to the city. But
the navy commander, Rear
Adm. Mahmood Ali Khan, said
his forces were loyal to the
government and were in
“complete control” of the
Chittagong naval base and
other port facilities, Radio
Dacca reported.
The rebels assassinated the
45-year-old president and eight
aides at 4:30 a.m. Saturday
during a visit to Chittagong.
Initial reports said they were
shot, but a later report said the
rebels blew up Government
House and the presidential
party with it.
