SNATIONAL REPORT Teen-ager leads police on bus chase TABOR CITY, N.C. - A 13-year-old boy took off in a school bus and led police on a chase, trying to run patrol cars.off the road as he drove 90 miles through parts of two states. The youth drove as fast as the bus would go, which isn't very fast because North Carolina school buses have mechanical speed limiters. "We went 46 mph the whole time," said Tabor City police officer L.D. Jame "But I'll tell you, that boy could drive that thing. He was crazy." At some points during the middle-of-the-night chase, the youth tried to run patrol cars off the road, driving from side to side, and drove with the bus lights off, police Chief R.V. Wooster said. He took the bus from South Columbus High School, near his home in Tabor City, at about 1 a.m. Saturday. The keys apparently were left in the bus. Police followed the bus into South Carolina and down to Myrtle Beach, where it turned back toward North Carolina. The bus eventually turned into a driveway at West Brunswick High School in Shal lotte, about 30 miles southeast of Tabor City. The gate was closed so the driver parked, set the emergency brake and stepped out of the bus. "When he came off that bus, he was smiling and laughing," James said.

Swimmers, including freshman Jenny Kurth and sophomore Karen Bunting, remember visiting Schultz at his house on a few occassions. Their contact with du Pont was slightly more limited. "He let us come in and train on his estate," Kurth said. "He would come in and check on us from time to time." ,Many of the swimmers and coaches remembered du Pont as an eccentric. "He was always a little strange," Kurth said. "I always thought he was a little mentally unstable, but I would never ex- pect him to do something like this." Head coach Jim Richardson said du ,Pont was a high-profile figure in the swimming community. "Most of us in swimming have met John because he has given a lot of money to the sport," Richardson said. In addition, du Pont had received numerous honors and awards from the Anierican Swimming Coaches Asso- ciation. As a millionaire, du Pont funded the training of many Olympic swim- mers and wrestlers. DuPont's Foxcatcher National Train- ing Center was built right on his estate andwas the sight ofthe Michigan swim- mers' training for several years. During that time, some swimmers noted du Pont arriving at the practice facility intoxicated. "Since I've left, the stories I've heard about (du Pont) have been getting stranger and stranger," said assistant coach Chrissi Hill. The Associated Press reported that Schultz, 36, who won an Olympic gold medal in 1984, worked as a coach at du Pont's 14,000-square-foot Foxcatcher National Training Center while train- ing for a comeback at this summer's Games in Atlanta. Several other wres- tlers also lived on the estate, and others traveled there each day to train. Du Pont is a great-great grandson of E.I. du Pont, the French-born industri- alist who founded the chemical com- pany. As one of hundreds of heirs to the family fortune, he was worth an esti- mated $46.2 million in 1985, the AP reported. WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress should make another try at a balanced budget compromise before resorting to the piecemeal approach of limited sav- ings and tax cuts being promoted by House Speaker Newt Gingrich, two Senate leaders said yesterday. "I think we're close enough," said Senate Majority Whip Trent Lott (R- Miss.) citing what he said was growing support in the Senate for a bipartisan plan to balance the budget over seven years. Gingrich (R-Ga.) last week said the effort to find common ground with President Clinton on a balanced budget was hopeless, and proposed attaching up to $100 billion in savings and $29 billion in tax cuts to a bill raising the nation's debt ceiling. The administration, after showing some initial interest, has become in- creasingly negative to the idea of mak- ing a "down payment" on eliminating the federal deficit. ' Clinton on Saturday said congres- sional Republicans, having failed to win negotiating leverage through par- tial government shutdowns, are now trying to use the debt ceiling "as a way to get their way." Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, appearing with Lott on NBC's "Meet the Press," pressed that point, saying linking the debt limit to spending and tax cuts was "a big, big mistake. ... We shouldn't be playing games with something as dev- astating and destructive as this could be." Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin says the nation faces default if the debt ceil- ing, now at $4.9 trillion, isn't raised by March 1. Clinton warned that if the nation doesn't pay the interest on its debt, the consequences would be higher interest rates and tens of millions of Americans not getting their Social Se- curity checks. Lott said there will have to be some conditions on the debt ceiling bill to get it through Congress, but he was not enthused about Gingrich's down pay- ment idea. "I think that's too small. I think we need to do more. We can do more." Republicans have been courting con- servative Democrats in hopes of put- ting together a strong majority for a compromise plan and Lott said there was growing support in the Senate "in a bipartisan coalition that has really come up with a very realistic budget." He said he was surprised when Gingrich came out with his plan last weekw"I don't know that he consulted with or conferred with others in the Senate." On Saturday, Gingrich said even if Republicans and moderate Democrats reached a compromise, Clinton might veto it. At a town hall meeting in Geor- gia, he again pitched his idea of using the debt ceiling bill to make a "down payment" toward a balanced budget. "I don't think we'll have the kind of big solution we hoped to have,with a big deal with the president," Gingrich said. "But I think we can get some specific things done every month and I think we ought to keep getting as much done as we can without disrupting the process." Two nuns killed by disturbed worshipper WATERVILLE, Maine- Fournuns were beaten and stabbed after a prayer service in their convent, and a man who allegedly bludgeoned at least one of them with a religious statue was in custody. Two of the nuns died and the other two remained hospitalized yesterday. "This may be one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Maine,"said spokesperson Stephen McCausland of the state Public Safety Department. He said police did not know a motive for the attacks Saturday evening at the convent of the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament. The Roman Catholic nuns had fin- ished an evening prayer service Satur- day when the intruder smashed the glass on a locked door, opened it and walked inside about 6 p.m. One of the women was attacked in the chapel and the other three in an adjacent part of the convent. Mark Bechard, 37, of Waterville, who had a history of mental problems, sur- rendered without resistance when po- lice arrived. Bechard was using a religious statue to beat the woman, police said. Officers refused to identify the reli- gious figure depicted by the figurine. Town attempts to ban toy strininacan SOUTHINGTON, Conn. -By most accounts, the aftermath resembled an explosion in a Play-Doh factory-hard- ened goo in hues of orange, pink and blue stuck fast to everything that makes Southington's town square a perfect New England snapshot. Kids of many ages wreaked havoc at the Apple Harvest Festival one week- end four months ago with Silly Strin a non-toxic, chemical toy tw* launched from aerosol cans. Now Southington figures that if you can't beat 'em, enjoin 'em. It's ready to outlaw the stuff under most circum- stances and smack a $99 fine on any- one, kid or adult, caught with it. "This product has no legitimate use," PoliceChiefWilliam Perry, whorequested the ban, said sternly. "It's being manufac- tured and sold with one purpose in m - to annoy other people." .

Yeltsin surrounded by hardliners as reformers jump ship MOSCOW -Some have been fired, others have fled, but the exodus of re- formers from Boris Yeltsin's entourage may be pretty much over - there sim- ply aren't that many liberals left. Since Jan. 1, Yeltsin has fired Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev and privatization chiefAnatoly Chubais. And four senior members of his Presidential Council resigned to protest the tougher policy toward rebels in Chechnya. Most Russians and many Western leaders are watching to see whether the latest exit of reformers will lead to a shift away from free-market reforms and whether Yeltsin chooses warto end the 13-month-old Chechen conflict. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin left yesterday for the United States to reassure officials that Russia remains committed to free- market reforms. Chernomyrdin plans to meet with President Clinton, con- gressional leaders and bankers during his four-day visit. Yeltsin's move toward more authori- tarian policies came after Communists and right-wing nationalists won the most votes in parliamentary elections in De- cember and because millions of Russians are unhappy with economic reforms.* Colombian mayor marries among tigers BOGOTA, Colombia- lfpolitics is a den of lions, why shouldn't a politi- cian get married in the midst of seven huge, ferocious carnivores?
