Then we found an arm . . . and a wristwatch on it, then a shoe," Montgomery County Coroner James Davis said. He said the body of Judith Sinks, 49, was removed intact with a rope still wrapped around her neck. Theodore Sinks, a maintenance manager at the Daily News, was expected to be arraigned later Wednesday on a charge of murder and possibly aggravated murder, Dayton police Sgt. Larry Grossnickle said. Sinks was arrested at about 8 p.m. Tuesday shortly after searchers found their first clues that a body lay in the shallow pit, which had been sealed with concrete in the seventh floor utility room used to house components of the building's air conditioning system. Dayton police Lt. John Compston said investigators were trying to determine a motive. Police "had had contact with (Mrs. Sinks) in the past," Compston said, but he declined to elaborate on whether charges had been filed in connection with the couple. power from page one Nevertheless, some parents and child care providers in the East Village would rather not have the substation so close to areas where children play. The danger implicit in the studies was noticed by graduate student Rich North whose daughter attends the Early Childhood Education Center in the East Village. North said he is concerned about the proximity of the substation in light of recent scientific findings. Although the studies have not shown a causal link between electromagnetic fields and cancer in children, North said it's and Judy Sinks was identified on the basis of died woman the estimated dental records, Davis said.

(UPI)-T- he vowed to veto it. The bill is designed to reverse the nation's huge trade deficit, which hit a record $171 billion last year, by opening global markets to U.S. products, cracking down on foreign trade abuses and helping companies and workers adjust to foreign competition. last The House approved an identical bill 312-10- 7 two-thiroverweek, well above the majority needed to ride a veto. But it requires a two-thirmajority in both chambers to allow a bill to become law over a presidential veto. his wrath-- on Reagan has focused his attention-a- nd ds ds better to "err on the safe side" and relocate the substation. Ward agreed that it's responsible to be safe, but there are "a lot more dangerous things in society than electrici- ty." "If there is any more dangerous place that's a danger to gosh, it couldn't be in a worse place. There's no more dense population of children," Inez Peterson, director of the education center, said. Another playground south of the center also borders on the construction site. Children frequently gather there to play, and at its closest point the edge of the lawn is about 30 feet from power lines and a red brick building that will house electrical generators. children--m- y Richard Daines, director of University Student Apartments, said he has received one or two complaints. "Not a lot of residents think it's a serious concern." He added he is uncertain whether the substation's location is a legitimate concern. The substation, which takes in 46,000 volts and is stepped down to 12,000 volts, will supply power to a group of buildings owned and operated by the Evans and Sutherland Computer Corp. Power outages from the two substations currently supplying power to the buildings cost the company as much as $20,000 every 20 seconds. Charles Evans (no relation to Dave Evans, of Evans and Sutherland), director of Research Park, said according to extensive engineering studies, the location of the power substation does not present a hazard to children in the area. Studies connecting radiation from power lines with cancer in children were taken into consideration, Evans said, but those studies indicate people must live directly under power lines for the radiation to affect them. An environmental impact study was not done, he said. "Our major concern-we- ll, we had two major concerns. One was safety and one was aesthetics," he explained. part-own- CURLING IRONS $2.99 Taylor Maid Beauty Supply Trolley Square Salt Lake City 521-908- 7 er Across From Flick Theatres 2 The Department of Anthropology Ml Wm MM one provision: early notification for employees of plant closings and layoffs.

But Sen. Orrin Hatch, speaking on behalf of the majority of Republicans who agreed to back the president and reject the bill, said: "The price is too high I don't believe the good of this bill should be held hostage to the economic terrorism" of provisions such as the R-Ut- amendment. plant-closin- g Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Kansas urged his colleagues to support the president . 'There are still several months left in this administration," Dole said. "We ought to support this president." Sen. David' Karnes, RNeb., one of the" senators who knuckled under to intensive White House lobbying, said he agreed to vote against the bill after the president personally promised him he would introduce a new trade bill as soon as he vetoes the current one. "I think he is very aware that we need to have trade legislation, but that we need to have responsible trade legislation," Karnes said. But Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia discounted that scenario. "Another bill is not wired," Byrd said. "Those who are gambling on that are gambling on a weak reed." He said the substation could not be constructed on the comer of Foothill Drive and Sunnyside Avenue because of its uncomely appearance. In addition, Evans said the substation meets all city zoning requirements. All the site plan criteria were met, Jim Huppi, of the city planner's office, confirmed. But he added the substation "is not exactly where we'd like to have it." The decision to place the substation in its current location was based on it proximity to existing lines, Evan said. "(Behind the education center) is probably the only location where it can exist," Huppi explained. Huppi said he has had some inquiries about why the substation is so close to children's play areas, but said there is nothing he can do about it unless he sees some type of report indicating this particular substation is a hazard. "I can't change ordinances and halt construction on hearsay," he said. A state health physicist, Blaine Howard, said not much can be done with individual claims of danger that cannot show cause and effect. "If the effect is so elusive . . . it's probably too small to worry about," Howard said. He said learning to cross the street and dealing with strangers are more serious dangers for children. And having parents who both work is another problem children face, he added. "People put so much effort into trivial hazards, they don't worry about the big ones," he said. "That's not good logic," Peterson said. Crossing the street is something children have to do, living next to a substation is not, she explained. The construction of a substation near play areas is a calculated risk and one that can be prevented, Peterson said.;-- : nwpiBKCHHmjTOnME Presents OTUCTIIML PATMKMMS W KWAMUTL AIT, SYMBOL AMD) MUTUAL" Dr. Abraham Rosman Dr. Paula Rubel Columbia University Thursday, April 28, 1988 209 Stewart 2:15 pm Is now accepting applications and nominations for the Young Alumni Scholarship.
