Michael usets Dukakis trounced civil rights leader Jesse Jackson in Pennsylvania's primary Tuesday and gained enough leeway to start laying the groundwork for the fall campaign. Vice President George Bush won the Republican primary where he faced no active opposition, moving him tantalizingly close to a guaranteed GOP nomination as Ronald Reagan's successor. With 60 percent of the Republican vote in, Bush had 373,585 votes or 79 percent Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, who has withdrawn from the GOP race, had 56,333 or 12 percent and former television evangelist Pat Robertson, who has all but dropped out, had 43,758 votes or 9 percent. Dukakis claimed victory and a "very big boost" at a Boston news conference. But asked whether he now has the nomination locked up, he said, "No I don't." "Fritz Mondale won in New York and Pennsylvania in 1984 and then lost a whole string of primaries," he said, referring to Walter Mondale's travails four years ago when he had trouble locking up the nomination in the final primaries. But he said: 'This is a very big boost, particularly in a state which has been a bellwether state, has gone both ways in presidential campaigns, a state which I think with good hard campaigning this fall can find its way into the Democratic column." Jackson was campaigning in Ohio, which along with Indiana is the next hattleground in one week, when his defeat became known. 'This race is going all of the way until June 7 (the last primary day), and our campaign continues to grow," he said. "The race is almost over. I'm a runner," he told a cheering crowd of 600 blacks, Hispanics and whites packed into United Auto Workers hall. "Hold your head high. We can win." Dukakis said there will be no split in the Democratic Party between his supporters and Jackson's and said he will "reach out to all communities in this country." He said he would not rule out Jackson or anyone else as a running mate at this point but will not begin deliberations until his nomination is secure. long-distan- ce Dive Into a Summer of Activity... Most of the focus in the abbreviated Pennsylvania campaign was on the Democratic race a campaign that gave Kukakis a chance to start finessing his relationship with Jackson and forging the unified front that would be required to defeat Bush in the fall. Though Dukakis is still far short of the 2,082 delegates he will need to lock up the Democratic nomination, he now moves into a wider delegate lead over Jackson and picks up even more momentum for coming contests in Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey and California where he has the advantage. short-but-swe- et Senate committee votes to subpoena North notes Senate Foreign WASHINGTON, D.C.

Kerry said 2,8484 pages were delivered to the committees with nearly half significantly "redacted" or blacked out. Many have since been classified further by the White House. "A very significant portion . . . have never been viewed by anyone in the government," Kerry told reporters after the vote. Kerry, chair of the narcotics and terrorism subcommit- tee of the Foreign Relations panel, is conducting an investigation of alleged connections between the Contra resupply network and narcotics trafficking. He released some 50 pages of North's notebooks that have been declassified oy the White House, many of which make oblique references to drugs, Kerry himself, Kerry staff members and the Contras. The classified notes catalog North's dealings with contacts while he worked on projects including the sale of U.S. arms to Iran in 1985 and 1986 and the diversion of profits to the Contras during a ban on aid to the rebels.

Jagger gets satisfaction; jury finds him innocent WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (UPI)-- A smiling Mick Jagger won a court battle Tuesday against an aspiring reggae musician who charged him with stealing the song "Just Another Night." The Rolling Stones' star said the suit was "pointless." A federal jury announced its verdict on its second day of deliberation in a suit filed by Patrick Alley, 37, a Bronx musician who claimed Jagger wrote his 1985 solo hit after hearing a song by the Jamaican-bor- n musician. "It's been a wonderful week in White Plains," Jagger said with a broad smile after the verdict was read. "It was pointless," he said of the suit. "Of course I'm relieved. My reputation is completely clear. If you are well known, people will take shots at you. I don't think the song is similar to mine at all," he added. Alley asked in the lawsuit for an estimated $6 million in profits from the album She's the Boss, on which the song appeared. He claimed it was based on a song he wrote in 1979 and recorded for a small label in SHAVE ICE FLAVOR AND TOPPED WITH FRUIT. TRULY A GOURMET INDULGENCE.

The law was ruled unconstitutional earlier this year by a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court agreed to review that ruling on an expedited basis. A decision is expected in June or July. Only eight members of the court will be involved in the ruling, since the newest justice, Anthony Kennedy, has chosen not to participate. He did not disclose why he bowed out of the case. Those facing prosecution under the 1978 ethics law, along with the Reagan administration, claim the law is unconstitutional because it provides for special prosecutors to be named by a panel of federal judges.
