BRIEF?
IN THE NEWS
Toll tops 1,600
in Luzon quake
MANILA, Philippines ?
Earthquake search teams reported
finding more bodies today
in remote mountain communities
devastated by last
week's tremor, and the death
toll surpassed 1,600.
A quake measuring 6 on the
Richter scale struck the central
island of Negros early today but
there were no reports of damage
or casualties.
On Luzon island, President
Corazon Aquino inspected damage
in her home province, Tarlac,
where numerous churches,
schools and highways were damaged
by the July 16 quake,
which measured 7.7.
On Monday, she asked Con
gress to approve 3ouu minion
to rebuild damaged areas. Many
congressmen also want to stop
paying the $26 billion national
debt to free funds for
reconstruction.
Figures from the Office of
Civil Defense and the Red
Cross showed at least 1,621
people were killed in the quake.
Rates on treasury
bills fall sharply
Interest rates on short-term
Treasury securities fell in Monday's
auction to their lowest
level since last year.
The Treasury Department
sold $9 billion in three-month
bills at an average discount rate
of 7.49 percent, down from 7.62
percent last week. Another $9
billion was sold in six-month
bills at an average discount rate
of 7.40 percent, down from 7.52
percent last week.
The rates were the lowest
since three-month bills sold for
7.37 percent on Oct. 16, 1989,
and six-month bills averaged
7.30 percent on Dec. 4, 1989.
The new discount rates
understate the actual return to
investors ? 7.74 percent for
three-month bills with a
Hi fl r\C\C\ Kill c 11 i n <x fnr
$9,810.70 and 7.79 percent for
a six-month bill selling for
$9,625.90.
In a separate report, the Federal
Reserve said Monday that
the average yield for one-year
Treasury bills, the most popular
index for making changes in adjustable
rate mortgages, fell to
7.87 percent last week,
Democrats line up
for House seat
Several Lowcountry Democrats,
including one member ol
the House of Representatives,
may be candidates for a soonto-be
vacated state Senate seat
Sen. Peden McLeod, DWalterboro,
will step down Oct.
1 to head the Legislative Council,
the General Assembly's research
and bill-drafting arm.
Democrats lined up to run foi
McLeod's vacant seat in the
Nov. 6 election include state
Rep. McKinley Washington Jr
of Ravenel; Raleigh Williams, i
minister and general contractoi
from Walterboro; and Willarc
Wilson, vice chairman ot tht
Hampton County Council. The
council's chairman, Lee Bow
ers, said he is also considering
running for the seat.
McLeod admitted that one 01
reasons he vacated the sea
wns the possibility he might no
win in 1992, when the district':
foundries are redrawn. A ma
jority of the current district':
voters are black, and many legi
slators speculate the district wil
. include more blacks after 1992
McLeod is white.

The same records show that Lee accepted

The pathway of AIDS into the Latino

Molina-Crespo said young Hispanic

then bringing back the AIDS virus to their
