Man indicted in census worker case
TULSA (AP) — A Kansas, Okla., man has been indicted for allegedly
assaulting a U.S. census worker making her rounds.
The indictment against Harold L. Proctor, 35, was returned Thursday by a
federal grand jury.
Proctor was arrested June 21 on a federal complaint that he assaulted and
impeded census worker Margaret Rosenheim in Kenwood on May 17.
A federal affidavit said Proctor approached Rosenheim as she was leaving
the home of one of Proctor's friends.
Proctor allegedly called Rosenheim a "traitor” because she was part Indi-
an and worked for the federal government. Proctor reportedly threatened to
“spill her blood" and "cut her up" so that Rosenheim would not be found.
Rosenheim eventually fled and picked Proctor out of a police lineup.

injuries he suffered Wednesday when the motorcycle he was driving went out
of control as he took an exit ramp on Interstate 244 in downtown Tulsa.
State’s senators back no estate tax
Nation
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma's senators voted with the majori-
ty Friday as the Senate passed a bill to phase out the federal estate tax over
the next decade.
The vote was 59-39 with Republican Sens.
Don Nickles and Jim Inhofe voting for passage.
The bill now goes to a joint House-Senate confer-
ence committee.
Nickles said the vote marked the end of one of the most unfair taxes on the
book He said the bill would save more than 7,500 Oklahoma farms and
ranches and hundreds of small businesses.
Inhofe called tty: elimination of the estate tax a great victory for Ameri-
cans. 'This unfair tax punishes achievement, hurts families and undermines
the American dream," he said.
Episcopalians go forward on gays
DENVER (AP) — Episcopalians moved toward accepting same-sex cou-
ples this week by acknowledging their presence in the church, but they sig-
naled they are not ready to sanction their relationships.
Delegates to the 10-day Episcopal General Convention that ended Friday
overwhelmingly declared that the church should support unmarried couples
— homosexual and hetemsexual — in monogamous relationships honoring
religious values
The step was not as big as gay and lesbian advocates wanted. Conservative
Episcopalians thought it was a move in the wrong direction.
"It moves us significantly forward on the issue of full inclusion," said the
Rev. Susan Russell of Los Angeles, a member of Integrity, a gay and lesbian
advocacy group.
Summer nutrition program
misses most eligible kids

WASHINGTON (AP) — Poor chil-
dren who get free or discounted lunch-
es at school are entitled to get two free
meals daily during the summer, but fe-
wer than one in four do so nationwide.
In some states, it’s fewer than one in 10.
There aren't enough day camps,
activity centers, schools, churches and
other sites authorized to offer the meals,
and federal rules make it too difficult
for organizations in some areas to quid
ify for the program, nutrition advocates
said Thursday.
Some 3.2 million children partici-
pated in the federally subsidized sum-
mer food program last year out of the
14.9 million who get free or reduced
cost lunches at school, according to
Agriculture Department data analyzed
by the Food Research and Action Cen-
ter, a private advocacy group.
“States and communities ale falling
far short of using available resources
fully, and many needy children are mis-
sing the meals and vital nutrients they
need during the summer just as much as
they do the rest of the year,” said Lynn
Parker, a spokeswoman for the group.
Ten states have participation rates
under 10 percent, the largest of which is
Texas, where 142,374 youngsters got
free meals last summer out of the 1.6
million children in the school-lunch
program. Alaska has the lowest rate,
with 2.9 percent of its eligible kids par-
Memories of hotel
may be only remains
CLINTON (AP) — Memories of
special nights spent at the once posh
Calmez Hotel could soon be all that
remain of the historic hotel.
The City Council is reviewing four
bids for demolition of the six-story
structure that has been vacant since the
1980s. There have often been rumors
of efforts to revitalize the building, but
none have developed.
“No one on the council is against
restoring the Calmez," said Council-
man Bob Smith. "But we have been
hearing this for the last 15 years... But
the bottom line is no one has stepped
forward to show us a plan or to say how
they’re going to pay for th \ restoration.
“I’ve heard from all these people
who want to save it, but no one has
signed their name on the dotted line.
How long are we going to wait?”
City officials have plans for a $2.7
million conference center at the comer
of Fourth Street and Frisco, a block
from the hotel. Mayor Don Rudolph
said the hotel falls within the scope of
the project.
The city gave a condemnation order
on the hotel in May to Laura and Dun-
ny Wohl, who own a Clinton antique
store and were given the deed to the
hotel in 1993 by the previous owners.
“I always talked of how I wanted to
restore the Calmez," Mrs. Wohl said.
"Then I got to talking with the owners
one day. and the next thing I know they
mailed us the deed..."
"People coming into Clinton see the
sign, Welcome to historic Clinton '
People come into my store and ask,
'Where are all the histone buildings/’ I
say, ‘They're tearing them down.”’
The 95-room hotel in downtown
Clinton was built for $500,000 in 1929.
The sagging economy in the 1980s
forced its closing.

Egyptian woman gives
birth to healthy quints
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — A 30-year-
old Egyptian woman who had been
treated with fertility drugs gave birth to
quintuplets, and a doctor said Thursday
all five babies were remarkably
liealthy.
“Gtxi has willed that all of them are
in good condition, none of them need-
ed any extra help” beyond a stay in a
five-baby incubator because of their
low weights, said Dr Maha l and.
Farid, who helped with the Caesari-
an delivery Wednesday, said she
expected the three boys and two girls to
survive.
The mother, Az.z.a Mohammed
Mahmoud, was also doing well, but
said in an interview she was "shocked”
and that her family would need help to
raise the babies — boys Mohammed.
Mahmoud, Hassan and girls Shrouk
and Donia.
Her husband Gamel Hassan Ahmed,
29. is a poorly paid factory technician,
she said.
Before the delivery, doctors had
detected only four babies. Their moth-
er, a homemaker, said she had hoped
throughout her pregnancy that doctors
were wrong and that she would only
have twins. Tfie babies' weights ranged
between about 2 pounds 10 ounces to
about 4 pounds Farjd said she expect-
ed the quintuplets to reach normal
weight and be ublc to go home in as lit
tie as two weeks.
Farid said the mother probably did
not even need the fertility drugs she
had been taking

The District of Columbia had the
highest participation rate, at 67.6 per-
cent, followed by Nevada at 44.1 per-
cent and California at 43.6 percent.
“When you look at the children on
the school lunch program, common
sense tells you that these kids are not
eating well in the summer unless they
find somewhere to go to eat, because
there just isn't anything at home," said
Anita Reyes, food acquisition director
for the San Antonio Food Bank.
Federal rules inhibit expansion of the
summer program in rural and suburban
areas because 50 percent of the children
fed by an organization must be eligible
for subsidized school lunches, says the
Food Research and Action Center.
Unless 50 percent are eligible, the
group providing the meals gets no
USDA reimbursement for any of the
children fed. That threshold was raised
from 30 percent as a cost-cutting move
in the 1980s.
Reimbursements for the summer
meals are $1.25 for each breakfast ser-
ved, $2.18 per lunch or supper and 50
cents per snack.
Seven states — California, Massa-
chusetts, Minnesota, New York, Texas,
Vermont and Washington — chip in
some of their own money to make up
for a cut Congress made in the reim-
bursements in 1996.
