"I know people think that June had no brain, but in my opinion, she was not a dishrag," said Barbara Billingsley, who played the happy homemaker on the series, "Leave It To Beaver. " Billingsley, TV mother to Beaver and Wally from 1957 to 1963, said her TV husband made family decisions, but she wasn't completely passive. "There are scenes where those boys are fighting and she's right in the middle of it, yelling and separating them," she says in the current issue of TV Guide. Billingsley and several other former TV matriarchs are featured at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.

' ' for the IRA and their supporters to explain why they have failed to deliver the promised ending of violence," said Sir Patrick Mayhew, the Cabinet minister responsible for Northern Ireland. A leading supporter of the IRA had a different story: that Britain got cold feet after the IRA agreed k to a truce last May in response to a British offer of intenis two-wee- sive talks. Prime Minister John Major's government was deeply embarrassed over the weekend by disclosures it had been in contact with the IRA at a time when it publicly denied it would talk while violence continued in Northern Ireland. Revelations of the contacts brought cries of outrage from Northern Ireland's Protestant majority and several lawmakers from the province demanded Major and Mayhew resign.

TRADE: The deficit in the current account, which includes trade in merchandise and services, should rise from $96 billion last year to $110 billion this year and $124 billion in 1994. The increase was blamed on weak economies overseas that have reduced demand for American exports and a rise in the value of the dollar over the past 18 months that make U.S. products more expensive in many foreign markets.

Long-terrates, which are set by market forces, are currently near 6 percent. They should remain little changed over the next year, ending 1994 at 6.2 percent and then rising to 6.5 percent by September 1995. The panel of business economists was asked to judge the employment prospects from the recently approved North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico and the administration's health care initiative. The biggest group, 48 percent, saw NAFTA increasing employment by up to 500,000 jobs over the next few years and 9 percent forecasting the gain would be even better than that; 34 percent saw no significant change and 9 percent said U.S. employment would be reduced by up to 500,000. three-mont- m mmmmm Britain is prepared to yield to IRA demands that the province be ceded to Ireland, which is 95 percent Roman Catholic. Mayhew contributed to that insecurity earlier this year by saying Britain would "gladly" pull out if a majority of Northern Ireland's people wished. Mayhew appeared to have strong support in the House of Commons today, and Major was cheered when he entered the chamber. Members of the opposition Labor Party supported the contacts with IRA supporters, leaving the few Protestant lawmakers from Northern Ireland isolated in their criticism of the government. The Rev. Ian Paisley, a hardline Protestant leader from Northern Ireland, accused Mayhew of lying in describing the contacts. He was ordered from the chamber for violating a Commons rule against accusing another member of stating falsehoods. Earlier today, Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, the party that supports the IRA, said Britain backed off its own proposal for talks in May after the IRA had k cease-firagreed to a two-wee- e.

Almost all village residents are mid-lev- members of the Satmar Hasidic sect, a devoutly religious group that maintains an insular community where religious ritual and distinctive dress are observed, Yiddish is often spoken instead of English, and girls and boys are educated separately. Most of the children in the village attend religious schools. Disabled Hasidic children had attended class in the public Central School District. But their parents withdrew them, saying they were traumatized by going to school outside the KiryasJoel village. The new public Kiryas Joel district was created to accommodate their needs. It teaches a secular curriculum to mixed classes of girls and boys, and all of its teachers live outside the village.

Mahoney, the head of the U.S. Information Service in Yemen, was kidnapped Thursday in the capital, San'a, then taken to a desert hideout about 45 miles northeast of the capital. "He sent three more letters yesterday afternoon (Sunday)," said Rick Roberts, the USIS chief in " "The letters basically say that he's well looked-afte- r, and one of them is dictated by the kidnappers, letters of reassurance," Roberts told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Government can accommodate religious concerns as long as it does not directly aid or subsidize a religious institution, added the district's lawyers. But lawyers for the state School Boards Association officials said the main effect of creating the Kiryas Joel district was "to involve the state in sponsorship of Satmar separatist precepts. " That "violates the very core of constitutional prescriptions for the separation of church and state," , they said. The cases are Board of Education of Kiryas Joel vs. Grumet, Board of Education of vs. Grumet, and Attorney General of New York vs. Grumet, In the mugging case, the court, without comment, refused to review a ruling by New York's highest court that said a transit policeman used excessive force when he Monroe-Woodbu- 1984. The justices in 1985 ruled that police may not shoot unarmed, fleeing criminal suspects who pose no apparent threat to the officers or the public.

In the appeal acted on today, lawyers for the transit authority ' urged the justices to rule that thek 1985 ruling doesn't bar police from using deadly force against unarmed people who have committed crimes of "serious physical violence." But McCummings' lawyers said his case should not be used to clarify the 1985 ruling because the New York Court of Appeals based its decision on state negligence law, ' not on McCummings' constitutional claims.
