"It's terrible," his wife, Lorraine, said Sunday. " I never saw anything like it. The kids really look forward to those gifts in the box. Can you imagine the questions they would have asked?" But the preschool children, Joey and Johnny, never saw the booklet because their father got to it first. "At first I thought it was a cartoon booklet," he said. "I was sure surprised when I opened it up." The 4-inch by 2-inch booklet contained black-and-white photographs of nude couples engaging in intercourse. The booklet claimed to portray sexual secrets from the hid den jungle temples of the Amazon. The booklet called itselt the first in a series of erotic best-sellers. Betty Garrett, a spokeswoman for Borden Inc. ? which manufactures the carmelized-popcorn-and-peanut treat ? said the company received five similar complaints about a year ago. She said only six boxes out of 4 million boxes packaged annually have had problems. She said the person who inserted the material was not apprehended, but new security measures have eliminated the problem. "We want to make sure that our products are as wholesome and safe as can be," Garrett said, adding a new investigation would be conducted at the plant. Heir wins ice cream contest CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) ? The winner of the local "Baskin-Robbins Birthday Party" contest "was thrilled" to learn the news, even though she is already heir to a huge fortune and lives in one of the state's most famous homes. The winner of a $130 video game was Valerie Rockefeller ? the 12-year-old daughter of Gov. Jay Rockefeller, greatgrandson of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. Her name was announced Sunday by Betty Ruch, owner of the ice cream parlor, whose son John pulled Valerie's name from a pile of 400 entries. Valerie listed her address as 1710 Kanawha Blvd. E. ? better known as the Governor's Mansion. "When I called her, she was thrilled. She was very excited. She entered the contest herself. She won it. It was not something handed to her," said Ruch. "Money isn't everything, you know. Sometimes we have to do our accomplishments ourselves. Don't you think that way?" she said. i USC today STUDENT SENATE ? Meeting. 5:30 p.m., Calcott, room 1015. i ATHENIAN DEBATE ? "God is Dead." Russell House, room 307. 8 p.m. VOLLEYBALL ?

In Charleston Sunday to attend the anunual reunion of the USS Yorktown Association, Paul Thayer, No. 2 man in the defense department, said the Persian Gulf, for example, could not be protected without carrier battle groups.
