Queen said to have MS
WIESBADEN, West Germany (AP) -
Freed American hostage Richard Queen is
suffering from multiple sclerosis, a disease of
nerve degeneration whose symptoms first
appeared during his captivity in Iran, a
doctor at the U.S. Air Force hospital here said
today.
Dr. Jerome Michael Korcak told a news
conference that the 28-year-old former vice
consul at the American Embassy in Tehran
will return to the U.S. ‘ in the nest few days ’’
Queen, released last week because of ill
health after 250 days as a hostage, “will
resume his duties as a foreign service officer
as soon as his health permits," Korcak said.
"Mr. Queen developed symptoms of the
disease in December 1979 while he was held
hostage in Tehran,” Korcak said. "His
symptoms during the past eight months have
included numbness and abnormal sensations
in his upper extremities and some difficulty
with balance associated with nausea and
vomiting."
“Mr Queen’s physicians have every hope
tlia* lie will be among that group of patients
with mild and transient manifestations of the
illness," Korcak told reporters at the
sprawling U.S. base.
"There was no indication that the <U.S. I
embassy occupiers worsened his condition.'
the doctor said, adding, "They (the Iranian
militants* were very forthcoming." He did
not elaborate
In New York, a spokesman for the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society said it was "very
likely” that the stress of captivity may have
helped set off Queen's multiple sclerosis
attack
But the spokesman, Bard Lindeman,
emphasized that current theories hold that
the infectious agent probably enters the body
years before symptoms appear, so that “the
supposition is that it would have surfaced
later anyway
Billy files as an agent
WASHINGTON (API - After receiving
almost a quarter of a million dollars from
Iubya, Billy Carter, brother of the president
of the United States, is officially a foreign
agent for the radical Arab government.
By signing a consent order agreeing to
register Monday, President Carter’s out-
spoken younger brother resolved a civil suit
by the Justice Department and avoided any
legal penalties or fines.
While denying any wrongdoing, he revealed
that he has received $220,000 from Iubya as
partial payment on a $500,000 loan he said he
requested in return for his services during the
past two years.
The registration statement said Billy
Carter isn't currently involved in any ac-
tivities on behalf of Libya and has none under
consideration.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court,
the government said Billy Carter “undertook
a propaganda campaign” for Libya in this
country and acted in a variety of ways "to
promote Libyan foreign policy objectives.”
The younger Carter was unavailable for
comment Monday, and White House officials
said President Carter would have no com-
ment.
Tax cut not in planning
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite calls for a
tax cut to stimulate the slumping economy,
President Carter won't propose a tax
reduction next week as part of his mid-year
budget review, administration sources say.
Carter met with his top economic advisers
in Georgia last weekend and made it clear he
wants to resist mounting pressures from rival
Republicans and congressional Democrats
for a tax reduction in an election year, the
sources, who declined to be identified, said
Monday.
As a result, the administration has chosen
to assume no tax cut in predicting the
direction of the economy for the rest of 1980
and all of 1981 when it releases its mid-year
review next Monday.
All Carter is expected to do is repeat sup-
port for a tax reduction sometime in the
future; but there will be no timetable, these
sources emphasize.
Ronald Reagan, who will be nominated by
the Republicans for president this week, has
proposed a $36 billion tax reduction for next
year, and Democratic senators are planning
to unveil a counterproposal of their own by
September, with hopes of enacting a tax bill
before the end of this year.
The mid-year review will offer sharply
revised budget estimates for fiscal 1980,
which ends Sept. 30, and fiscal 1981 — the
result of a worsening recession that has cut
tax revenues and increased spending, par-
ticularly for unemployment benefits.
The administration now predicts the
federal deficit will swell to about $60 billion in
fiscal 1980, compared to the $36.5 billion gap it
estimated in March. At that time, Carter
revised earpier 1981 budget proposals and
offered a small surplus for the fiscal year that
stars Oct. 1.
Fire kills 21 patients
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario (AP) - Twenty-
one people were killed and 35 injured in a
nursing home fire that spread rapidly through
the top floor of the three-story building where
most of the chronically ill patients were
housed, police said.
Initial reports indicated a careless smoker
was responsible for the fire, but there was no
official ruling on the cause.
Authorities said most of the victims died of
smoke inhalation and extreme heat. "The
smoke was very heavy and there was con-
siderable flame and a tremendous amount of
heat,” said local Police Chief Douglas
Burrows.
The fire broke out on the third floor of the
Extendicare Ltd. nursing home Monday night
and fire trucks were on the scene in about two
minutes. But Fire Chief Gordon Bentley said
by the time his men got there, the flames had
spread across the entire third floor.
“Either the fire went undetected for a
considerable length of time or spread very
quickly," said Bentley.

Networks are predictable
in convention coverages
By JIM TEEL
Associated Press Writer
HOUSTON (API - The
bowling alley had been robbed
just the night before, so four
young people volunteered to
spend the night and guard
against burglars. When they
were seen again, three had been
shot to death execution-style.
Investigators said they hoped
the lone survivor of the
bloodbath - a teen-ager who
was shot m the head — could
give them a clue to help track
the killers.
Investigators speculated that
robbery was the motive for the
bloody break-in. About $800 was
taken from a cash register near
the bodies, police said. The four
were apparently told to lie on
the floor artd then each was shot
once in the head.
• Hate." said Betty Rappe. a
bowling alley employee and
friend of the’ victims: 'That’s
all it could be. Hate.”
Police identified those killed
as Stephen Allen Sims, 25,
assistant manager of Fair
Lanes Windfeyn Bowling
Center in northwest Houston;
Tommy Lee Temple, a 17-year-
old employee of the alley: and
Temple's girlfriend, Arden
Alane Felsher. also 17.
Gregory Garner, 18. also an
employee, was in critical
condition following the
shootings and authorities said
he may lose an eye.
Gamer's father, Ira, found
the bodies early Monday when
his son called home for help,
unable to speak clearly.
"How do you describe four
bodies lying there, three of
them dead?" asked .the elder
Gamer. "It was a nightmare.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) - And
so it began, the television ex-
travaganza posed as a lesson in
applied civics; with a prayer
from Pat Boone and a duet from
Glen Campbell and Tanya
Tucker, the Republicans
opened on prime time.
At this convention in par-
ticular, so sealed on behalf of
Ronald Reagan, so carefully
choreographed in his cause, the
networks faced the challenge of
making the event seem a real
news imperative, something
more than a show.
ABC, CBS and NBC
responded, for the most part, in
predictable fashion.
The favored method of ap-
pearing to resist manipulation
by the Reagan forces was to
constantly remind viewers that
the huge television presence
was so vulnerable to
manipulation, as if
acknowledgement of the un-
comfortable circumstance
would alleviate it.
So, from Cronkite and
Chancellor and Reynolds and
anyone who had a mike and a
camera, we were told that this
was, indeed, a convention of,
for, and by Ronald Reagan.
“It is the GOP's big TV day,”
Chancellor cautioned,
"designed to make you believe
they are the party of unity ...
and all that....” He didn’t add
"bushwa.”
The disclaimers emphatically
registered, the networks then
proceeded to ferret out some
news.
Of course, the networks come
to conventions for reasons in
addition to (other than, some
would suggest I civic duty. ABC,
CBS and NBC are, foremost,
ratings competitors and there's
a pretty hefty prize at stake in
that line — an estimated 50
million viewers will tune in to
the GOP proceeding.
Also, the political conventions
offer an opportunity to make a
good news division showing.
In this regard, NBC — in its
first-event test under news
president Bill Small — out-
performed the competition on
opening night.
