Show Page A2 THE HERALD. Provo. Utah, King Friday, May 29, 1992 sues movie producers X NEW YORK (AP) Horror writer Stephen King is suing the producers and distributors of "Jhe Lawnmower Man," saying the film had virtually nothing to do with his short story of the same name. Aside from the title and one brief scene, the film "bore no meaningful resemblance" to the story he published in the 1970s, King said in court papers. King's story tells of a homeowner who is killed by the man he hires to cut his lawn. - V , w 7 U Stephen King Princess Stephanie pregnant Princess SteROME (AP) phanie of Monaco has disclosed in a magazine interview that she's expecting a baby in November and said the father is a bodyguard for the royal family, Italian newspapers reported today. The Italian news agency ANSA carried excerpts of the interview, scheduled to run in the next issue of Oggi, an Italian weekly magazine. Repeated attempts by The Associated Press to contact the principality press office were unsuccessful. The office in Monte Carlo did not answer the phone today, a holiday in Monaco. Stephanie, 26, the youngest child of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, the late American actress, was quoted by ANSA as telling the magazine: "Yes, it's true, I'm going to have a baby at the end of No- vember." Criticism o f Bush Haiti policy grows By GEORGE GEDDA Associated Press Writer - As the outWASHINGTON pouring of Haitian refugees escalates, President Bush is encountering growing criticism of his policy of returning boat people to Haiti without giving them a chance to appeal for asylum. The Coast Guard picked up 612 Haitians on Wednesday, almost double the previous day's figure, and the State Department said the refugees faced immediate repatriation to their homeland. Bush has come under heavy pressure to reverse the policy on grounds it exposes the refugees to possible mistreatment by Haitian authorities on their return. The U.S. Committee for Refugees, the International Human Rights Law Group and the League all issued statements Thursday criticizing Bush's policy. Bill Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, the on United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People joined attacks on the policy Wednesday. The U.N. High Commissioner, Sadako Ogata, told Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eaglebur-ge- r in a letter that she said she was deeply disturbed by the new policy. In response, State Department deputy spokesman Richard Boucher on Thursday rejected the suggestion that the United States is unconcerned about the plight of boat people. "The United States has rescued over 35,000 Haitians. We're admitting 9,000 of these people to pursue asylum claims in the United States. No other country has done that," Boucher said. Boucher also noted that increasing numbers of Haitians have been taking advantage of the U.S. Embassy offer to accept applications for political refugee status from Haitians who fear persecution. tist Bruce Buchanan.

The flap began this week when Pepsi here announced the winning number "349" in its "Number Fever" promotion. Thousands of customers holding bottle caps with the number thought they would share in $38,000 in prize money. But their hopes fizzled when they were told that the caps must contain a second, undisclosed "security code" number, not clearly visible.

That news helped push stock prices into record territory in early trading, with the Dow Jones average of 30 industrials advancing past the 3,400 mark.

Christopher Smith, an outspoken abortion opponent. Bush has vetoed 28 bills since becoming president, and Congress has sustained him every time. The president, leaving the White House on a political trip to Arizona and California, nodded yes when asked if he would veto the bill. The House debate was an emotional stew, combining elements of the abortion argument with pleas to support promising research.

Consumer spending, of the enrepresenting tire economy, grew at a 5.4 percent annual rate, slightly better than the initial estimate of 5.3 percent. Spending rose an especially strong 18.4 percent for durable goods such as automobiles, home furnishings and appliances. Analysts attributed the surge to lower interest rates, which put more cash in many homeowners' pockets via mortgage refinancings, and to a reduction in the federal income tax withholding rate, which had the same effect. First quarter growth also was helped by an 8.4 percent gain in housing construction, a healthy increase but not as good as the 15.8 percent surge reported originally. Investment by businesses in new equipment rose 3.7 percent, considerably better than the first estimate of 1.6 percent. Commercial construction declined 3 percent compared with an 8.5 percent drop in the first report. Trade acted as a slight drag on the economy instead of a slight stimulant. The economies of major U.S. trading partners, notably Japan and Germany, are softening as U.S. growth picks up. The overall 2.4 percent gain in the GDP followed a barely perceptible 0.4 percent rise during the final three months of 1991. TIRED OF EARNING BANK RATES OF 3-- 6 ON YOUR MONEY?
