Names in the News
Joe Montana sues bank over name
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ert quarterback Joe
Montana is suing a bank, claiming it used his name in an advertisement with-
out permission. . . _ . ,
After Montana led the 49ers last January to their third Super Bowl victory,
First National Bank ran an ad proclaiming: “Joe Montana had a game plan. Do
you?” The ad promoted two free, bank-sponsored seminars on financing and
taxes.
Montana is seeking damages, but the lawsuit filed last week in San Mateo
County Superior Court does not specify the amount.
Named as defendants are First National Bank of Marin and its officers. Point
Associates Advertising and the Marin Independent Journal newspaper and its
Montana’s suit claims the bank, advertising firm and newspaper knew the ad
would end his chances of endorsing other financial institutions or media
events
A1 Rice, chairman of First National Bank, called the lawsuit "absolutely
ridiculous” and said the bank's advertising agent told him Montana’s name is
considered part of the public domain because the player is so widely known.
Marin Independent Journal president and publisher Peter Horvilz said he
could not comment until he reviews the lawsuit.
Prince Charles donates prize money
ROME (AP) — Britain’s Prince Charles wants the $7,000 Spolelo Prize he
was awarded to be used for grants for promising young Italian musicians or
actors.
The Prince of Wales was awarded the prize Monday because of his love for
the Umbrian countryside and his interest in its artistic heritage. Sir Derek
Thomas, Britain’s ambassador to Italy, accepted the award for the prince.
The money will be used to establish an annual grant for musicians or actors.
The winner will perform in the annual Spolelo Festival.
Ton Loc does bad rap with police
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Rap singer Tone Loc’s fans may find him
entertaining but a police officer who encountered him on the beach didn’t.
Tone Loc, whose "Wild Thing” single hit the top 10, was arrested early
Monday after making hostile remarks to an officer, authorities said.
The Los Angeles rapper, whose real name is Tony Terrell Smith, was
charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly intoxication and resisting
arrest without violence, said police spokesman James Hyde.
Loc, 23, was released without bail.
The singer, whose rap version of The Troggs’ 1960s rock standard has sold
more than 2 million copies, is in Miami for a performance Friday.
Officer Robert Jenkins was looking for a lost child at around 5 a.m. on the
beach, which is closed after midnight. Loc responded belligerently when Jenk-
ins asked him to come over to his patrol car, Hyde said.
Loc gave his stage name, but Jenkins had never heard of him, Hyde said.
Jenkins said Loc had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled strongly of
alcohol.
Illusionists add three rare tigers
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas illusionists Siegfried and Roy will be
returning to the United States with some extra cargo this September: three
additional rare white tigers that were bom in Osaka, Japan.
The three, bom Monday, have been named Red, White and Blue because of
their birthdate, according to Kim Turpin Davis, a spokeswoman for the
celebrities. , , , . .
The cubs were bom to Sitan-a, believed to be one of only four pure-white
adult tigers in existence.
Actor Jim Backus dies,
kept humor while ill
LOS ANGELES (AP) —Jim Back-
us, throaty voice of the nearsighted
"Mr. Magoo” and breezy spirit
behind the shipwrecked millionaire of
"Gilligan’s Island," has died at age
76.
Backus, whose career in radio, film
and television spanned more than half
a century, died Monday from pneumo-
nia. He had suffered from Parkinson’s
disease for many years.
The actor who played the fabulous-
ly wealthy Thurston Howell III on
television’s "Gilligan’s Island” also
was featured in dozens of motion
pictures.
One of his most memorable roles
was that of James Dean’s ineffectual
father in ‘‘Rebel Without a Cause.” It
took a character actor with presence to
don an apron and wheedle Dean about
his adolescent traumas.
Backus kept his sense of humor
despite his ill health in recent years,
according to Alan Hale, who played
the burly Skipper of the Minnow on
"Gilligan’s Island.”
“He certainly still had that wonder-
ful sense of humor,” Hale said. "You
could see it in his eyes.”
Backus had been undergoing treat-
ment for pneumonia since June 13 at
St. John’s Hospital and Health Center
in Santa Monica.
“I used to do benefits and I’d come
home with whatever symptoms went
with the disease I was benefiting,”
Backus quipped in an interview five
years ago.
"When they told me I had Parkin-
son’s, I read a magazine article on it,
and overnight I had every symptom
known to man. 1 became an authority
on it.”
Backus’ ability to find humor in
almost any situation was one of his
most outstanding qualities, according
to members of the cast of the popular
1960s television scries about seven
stranded castaways shipwrecked with
nothing to do but dream up ridiculous
rescue schemes.
"He was always up,” said Bob
Denver, who played Gilligan, the
hapless mate.
“Everyday he must have told at
least 10 to 15 jokes.... Whenever he’d
come on the set all the crew would get
happy.”
Backus’ baritone voice also was
known to millions as that of the
cartoon character Mr. Quincy Magoo
on the program "Famous Adventures
of Mr. Magoo.” On the series, Magoo
played various historical figures,
including Long John Silver, Friar
Tuck, William Tell and Rip Van
Winkle. Backus also did a stage
production of Mr. Magoo.
He also played Judge Bradley
Stevens on “I Married Joan,” an early
television situation comedy with Joan
Davis. He was seen on "Playhouse
90” and "Studio One.”
A native of Cleveland, Backus stud-
ied at the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts, graduating in 1933.
Classmates included Hume Cronyn,
Garson Kanin and Tyrone Power.
He appeared on Broadway in
"Paint Your Wagon” and “Too
Many Heroes."

Fires near Los Angeles force
hundreds to flee; homes lost
By JOHN ANTCZAK
Associated Press Writer
HACIENDA HEIGHTS, Calif.
(AP) — A wind-whipped fire roared
through canyons near Los Angeles,
damaging more than a dozen homes
and forcing 500 people to flee flames
that jumped from brush to rooftops.
Firefighters facing a hot, dry Fourth
of July today attempted to douse the
blaze as it raced along a ridge of homes
in exclusive Turnbull Canyon, 20
miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector
John Lenihan said the fire had destroy-
ed or damaged 13 to IS homes but
there were no immediate reports of
injuries.
"It's nowhere near control,” Leni-
han said late Monday. "We’ve got a
lot of work ahead of us.”
Fires also burned Monday in eastern
Utah, near Dinosaur Naticmal Monu-
ment in northwestern Colorado and in
New Mexico, where a 2,500-acre
blaze near Diamond Peak in the Gila
National Forest raged out of control.
Lenihan said the California fire was
probably man-made. It began in an
uninhabited, remote brushy area and
quickly spread to areas with homes
valued at $300,000 to more than $1
million.
Today's temperature was expected
to top 100 degrees, and Lenihan said
1,000 firefighters expected to spend
the holiday battling the blaze.
"Every little Canyon is a finger of
fire,” he said.
Chinese dissidents reorganize
HONG KONG (AP) — Two lead-
ers of China’s crushed pro-democracy
movement today announced the estab-
lishment of an organization to carry on
under a single banner the fight for free-
dom in their homeland.
Both men escaped to the West after
the bloody June 4 crackdown in
Beijing.
In a written statement issued from
hiding, student leader Wu’er Kaixi
and top dissident intellectual Yan Jiaqi
called on “people who love freedom
around the world” to support their
movement.

in cases funded through the Depart-
ment of Human Services.
Charles Brodt, administrator for
medical services at the DHS, said the
welfare agency “has not paid for any
abortions at least in the last two years
and I don’t know when we last paid for
any. We may not have paid for any in
the last five years.”
They also renounced violence,
saying the late Chinese leader Mao
Tse-tung’s adage that political power
grows out of the barrel of a gun,
"cannot lead China to true freedom,
liberty and democracy.”, i ., , •
"The movement for democracy has
flooded its banks like the Yellow
River," read the statement, which was
obtained from Hong Kong activists
who helped smuggle the two men to
safety last month.
"It is unstoppable. Despite the
unprecedented white terror, the Chin-
ese student movement and the move-

A spokesman for the state leaching
hospital in Oklahoma City said the
hospital has a policy against abortions,
unless they are necessary to save a
mother’s life.
Dcbby Blount of Planned Parent-
hood of Central Oklahoma said the
Supreme Court decision means that
legislators will most likely "have to
ment for democracy are still alive. At
present China is shrouded in silence
but that just means that a new and
bigger storm in brewing.”
Each of the two leads an organiza-
tion that is illegal in China and both are
wanted by Chinese police.
Wu’er and Yan also proposed that
the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to
the students and citizens gunned down
by the Chinese army as it cleared
central Beijing of protesters on June 4.
One woman student leader, Chai
Ling, has already been nominated for
the 1990 prize.
take a stance in the next session, either
to restrict abortions in some manner or
to keep them accessible.”
Rod Frates, co-chair of the
Campaign for Choice, said that
regardless of exact impact of the
ruling, it had made "each and every
state a battleground” on the abortion
issue.
Abortion
rule draws
protests
By The Associated Press
The Supreme Court ruling on abor-
tion sparked angry confrontations
between pro-choice and anti-abortion
farces across the country and one
rights activist predicted the issue
would become “our Vietnam of the
1990s.”
Some opponents of Monday s deci-
sion burned American flags in protest,
a right confirmed by the high court in
ruling last week.
An angry, after-work crowd
swelled a pro-choice rally of more
than 2,000 outside San Francisco’s
Federal Building. After a candlelight
vigil, about 200 protesters broke off
from the larger group and marched
down Van Ness Avenue to the Mission
District, knocking over garbage cans
and newspapers stands.
Outside the historic Mission
Dolores they were surrounded by
about 50 riot police. One arrest was .
reported.
Lindsay Corny of San Francisco’s
Women’s Choice Clinic offered to
teach women to perform safe abor-
tions if the operation is outlawed in
California.
“We will not allow technology to
be denied us,” she said.
In St. Louis, Judith Widdecombe,
founder of the clinic involved in the
5-4 court decision, said the ruling
would not be tolerated by women.
“It will become our Vietnam of the
1990s," she said.
Flags were burned at protests in
Chicago and other cities.
"I'm doing this because I want to.
show how angry I am,” said Ela Thier,!
as she held a match above a lighter;
fluid-soaked flag in Rochester, N.Y.;
‘ *1 believe that the Supreme Court has;
violated my basic human rights.” !
"It is amazing to me that we can
bum the flag but yet we don’t have
control over our bodies,” said Elyce
Helford, who took part in a flag-
burning at a rally of 300 pro-choice
advocates in Iowa City, Iowa.
Monday’s ruling upheld key provi-
sions of the Missouri la w that prohibits
public hospitals from performing
abortions and bans the use of tax
dollars for counseling or encouraging
women about abortion. It also requires
doctors to test for the viability of a
fetus after 20 weeks.
Attorney Sarah Weddington, who
represented Jane Roc in the 1973 deci-
sion that legalized abortions, saw the
ruling as a sign that Roe vs. Wade
would be overturned.
About 40 anti-abortion demonstra-
tors prayed and picketed outside a
women’s clinic in Philadelphia as they
claimed victoiy in the Supreme Court
ruling.
Clarification
The Herald inadvertently identified
Sapulpan Bill Hefner as an architect
in Sunday’s Herald concerning his
judging the architectural skills of
VICA students in a Tulsa competi-
tion. His correct title is professional
building designer. He also is national
vice president of the American Insti-
tute of Building Design.

Remembering My Husband,
Bedford Mass
Yesterday whan lova was young.
Praises of each other we sung.
Our eyes could no other see
Just me-----you and you-----me.
Wan it really so long ego?
Where did the yeatrs all go?
Time seemed to rush away,
As memories we marts day after day.
Happy memories and sad ones too.
As our love for each other grew,
Then our time stopped, you went away.
And it seems Just like yesterday.
Time will paws and then.
We will be together again.
When for me, Heaven opens Its door,
Then we will be together for evermore.
