COLUS13IA. ttO. & 5201 73rd Year - No. 141 Good Morning! It's Saturday, February 28, 1981 16 Pag 25 Cents . - Three die in one of city's deadliest fires Friends mourn loss of family By Jim Mueller and Michael Lamendola Missourian staff writers West Junior High auditorium was quiet Friday morning when Marc Gor-don, student body president, walked onto the stage to open an assembly for the dress rehearsal of the annual Wi-nter Concert scheduled Friday night. But instead of talking about the music, he spoke of the sadness of losing a classmate who had died in a fire hours earlier. He was speaking of David Lauder-dale, 14, a ninth- grade- r, member of the Viking Band and Jazz Band, partici-pant in a school- wid- e program for gifted students and member of DeMo- la- y. David died with his father, David, 59, and his mother, Ruth, 56, when smoke from a cigarette fire poured through their house at 1310 Bradshaw Ave. about 4 a. m. Friday. After Gordon's announcement, the student body sat for a minute of si-lence. Band director Don Rupp then ded-icated the concert to David, who was to have played the tuba Friday. Principal Muriel Battle took the stage after the rehearsal to tell the stu-dents how David's death had " implica-tions for all us here to do the best with ourselves and our relationships with other people." The students responded at first with applause but then became quiet. They were dimissed soon afterward. The dedication bore David's mark even though he was absent The night before he died, David had volunteered to stay late to help band director Rupp set up for the concert. That was typical of David. " He was always willing to help," Rupp said. " He was a very serious, concerned student who worked hard at music." When news of the tragedy reached school Friday, Rupp said his first im-pulse was to cancel the concert. " After talking to the principal, we decided to go ahead and have it," he said. CoBusCaabs Neighborhood children gather outside the house where three members of the David Lauderdale family died Mrs. Battle also was hesitant to have the concert. " We pondered whether to have the concert, because the music was so joyous," she said. " But we decided Da-vid would have wanted it that way." As keenly as the students and faculty felt the loss of a classmate, they also felt the loss of David's mother, a trav-eling science specialist for the Colum bia School District. Mrs. Lauderdale began her teaching in Columbia as a part- tim- e instructor at West Junior High. She has been teaching fifth-- and sixth- gra- de science classes since 1970. " We thought she was a fine person and had a great deal of concern for the students," Assistant Superintendent James Ritter said. " She will be greatly missed by the students and the teach ers." David Lauderdale had been a realtor with Boone Realty for 6 years. His co- work- ers said he was a personable and conscientious worker. The younger Lauderdale's teachers and classmates said Friday they were taking steps to create a memorial to David and the contributions he had made to the school. " We're going to establish a memori-al band award in his honor to be given at the end of the year to outstanding ninth- grad- e band members," Rupp said. The students at West Junior High are planning similar action. Funeral arrangements for the Lau- derdal- es are being made by the Memo-rial Funeral Home. Insight Soviet grain curb poses tongli choice New York Times WASHINGTON Thirteen months ago the United States curtailed grain shipments to the Soviet Union in reac-tion to its military intervention in Af-ghanistan. Now President Reagan, who at-tacked the curb during the election campaign last fall as unfair to Ameri-can fanners, is faced with a dilemma. If he lifts the restriction, as he prom-ised, he would be sending a signal to the Russians of a return to business as usual, even though he has accused So-viet leaders of reserving " the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat" and even though his administration has warned of dire consequences for East- We- st relations if Soviet troops in-vade Poland. If he does not lift the restriction, he would appear to be reneging on a cam-paign promise. The grain curb represents the first time the United States has significant-ly used food as a weapon of foreign pol icy. At his news conference Jan. 29, Rea-gan restated his earlier position that it was unfair to ask only farmers to bear the burden of the nation's response, but he said he had not yet decided which way to go. Conditions for grain sales were set by a five- ye- ar bilateral agreement with the Russians, running from Oct. 1, 1976, to Sept. 30, 1981. The idea was to protect American consumers and farmers from the abrupt market ef-fects of unexpected Soviet purchases, such as those that drove up American food prices in the early 1970s. The agreement specified that the So-viet Union was to buy at least 6 million metric tons of American grain annual-ly. United States grain exporters could sell 2 million tons more without getting government approval. On Jan. 4, 1980, just after Soviet troops entered Af-ghanistan, President Carter canceled contracts for an additional 17 million tons of grain. But he let the Russians take delivery of the 8 million tons they had already ordered. In addition to the present issue of ( See OPPONENTS, Page 16) Fire chief links blaze to cigarette ByDanHJggins Missourian staff writer Three persons who died early Friday in one of Columbia's worst fires might have survived if they had installed a smoke detector, Columbia Fire De-partment officials said. Killed at 1310 Bradshaw Ave. were David M. Lauderdale, 59, his wife, Ruth, 56, and their son David, 14. The three died from smoke inhalation in the most disastrous fire in Columbia since 1970, Fire Chief Girard Wren said. Fire officials estimate damage to the house and contents at $ 37,000. Wren said a carelessly disposed cig-arette apparently caused the fire, which started in the living room. " If they had installed smoke detec-tors, their chances of survival would have been greatly increased," Wren said. The attic, living and dining rooms of the house suffered extensive fire dam-age, while the rest of the house re-ceived heavy smoke and water dam-age. The fire was noticed by Jack Kace- n- a, 1403 Lowe St., who was dropping bundles of newspapers to carriers. Shortly before 4 a. m., while stopped down the street from the Lauderdales', he heard glass shattering and saw a bright glow. He knocked on a neigh-bor's door, and the neighbor called firefighters as Kacena tried to rouse the Lauderdales. He was forced away from the house when burning debris began falling near him. Nine rescue and fire units arrived shortly. Firefighters controlled the fire " within minutes," Wren said, but at-tempts to revive the victims failed. Lauderdale was pronounced dead at the scene, while Mrs. Lauderdale and David were pronounced dead shortly after being taken to University Hospi-tal. Wren said Lauderdale's body was found in his son's bedroom clutching a fire extinguisher. A report filed by the fire department ( See SMOKE, Page 16) Cuts have Reagan budget back on track New York Times WASHINGTON Budget cuts totalling up to $ 13 billion were decided upon by President Rea-gan and his Cabinet Friday, according to a White House announcement that said the Reagan budget-- cutting plan now was " back on track." A scheduled two- ho- ur meeting ran 30 minutes overtime as the president and his Cabinet Council on Economic Affairs went step- by- st- ep through a series of budget options designed to meet a range of $ 10 billion to $ 13 billion in cuts that were still to be settled. The administration's basic goal is to cut $ 41.4 billion from next year's budget. No details were offered on which programs would be cut beyond the 83 budget reductions to-talling $ 34.4 billion announced by the president in his budget address Feb. 18. But the decisions Fri-day were described as sufficient to cover both the $ 7 billion in additional cuts originally intended be-yond the Feb. 18 reductions, plus the additional $ 3 billion to $ 6 billion in cuts needed to cover subse-quent " miscalculations" discovered in the origi-- - nalplan. " Budget savings options sufficient to hold the line were presented to and approved by the presi-dent today," David Stockman, director of the Of-fice of Management and Budget, was quoted as declaring after the private meeting. " We are back on track." The decisions at the afternoon meeting meant that the administration will meet its goal of an-nouncing the second and final round of specific cuts on March 10 in line with a planned federal spending ceiling of $ 695.5 billion in the fiscal year 1982. Spending cuts totalling $ 41.4 billion were an-nounced originally by the president, but the mis-calculations required additional cuts ranging $ 3 billion to $ 6 billion deeper. Administration offi-cials have contended the miscalculation came about because of erroneous fiscal estimates they inherited from the Carter administration. But budget aides to former president Jimmy Carter have denied this, contending that the Reagan bud-get team itself miscalculated in its haste to meet the new administration's promise of presenting an early economic recovery program of spending and tax cuts. Stockman said earlier in the day that the shift in figures was " a routine phenomenon" that had drawn an " extraordinary response" of deeper cuts rather than the simple easing of spending limitations and budget growth that, he alleged, was the Carter administration's typical response to such a problem. In announcing the final cuts, the White House said that " a very few" decisions still were to be made on the budget, but none affecting the overall spending ceiling. In addition, it was announced that minor increases in spending also were agreed upon, but here, too, details were withheld pending the President's March 10 budget message to Congress. Administration sources previously indicated that one of the increases would be recommended for the Board for International Broadcasting, which supervises Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. Administration officials again emphasized that the final budget cuts did not intrude upon the " so-cial safety net" of health, Social Security and cer-- tain welfare programs that the president prom-ised would be spared. The March 10 message is to offer the final de-tails of an economic recovery program that in-cludes a proposed 10 percent annual reduction in personal taxes for three years, worth $ 44.2 billion to taxpayers next year, plus $ 9.7 billion in busi-ness tax reductions and incentives. The final proposals for cuts decided Friday were described by some administration sources as spread generally across the board. The one program that has been permitted to grow signifi-cantly under the Reagan austerity drive is the De-fense Department budget, which Reagan pro-poses to increase by $ 7.2 billion above the $ 181.5 billion in spending recommended by the Carter administration. In receiving the president's proposals, congres-sional Democrats generally have not disputed the idea that cuts in government spending are needed, although some insist that a smaller scale of $ 35 billion or less would serve the president's purpose of displaying the government's resolve to deal with inflation. ' Billy the KM9 9- year- - old boy gives up in bank robbery case NEW YORK ( UPI) A 9- year-- old boy, nicknamed " Billy the Kid" and suspected of holding up a bank at Rockefeller Center for $ 118, surrendered Friday to FBI agents. The 4- foo-t- 5 ( 1.2- meter- ), 9frpound ( 1444dlogram) youth, too small to be photographed by bank cameras and barely able to see over the counter, was accused of holding up a teller at the New York Bank for Savings Wednesday by brandishing a chrome- plate- d revolver. " This is a holdup. Don't say a silent word," he told her. The brown- eye- d boy, whose name was withheld, sur-rendered with his attorney, Mel A. Sachs. He was later turned over to state juvenile authorities. Police said the boy was possibly the youngest bank robbery suspect in city history. Sachs, who refused to identify the boy, said he arranged the surrender after the child's parents contacted him Thursday. " I want to make it clear that my client is surren-dering voluntarily," Sachs said with a grin as the boy dressed in blue jeans, a tan- colore- d ski jacket, plaid shirt with black tie and a gray wool watch cap pulled down over his brown hair stared up at him wide- eye- d. " My client has nothing to say," Sachs said again and again as the boy was peppered with questions by re-porters, who dubbed the boy ' ' Billy the Kid." Police had said it was possible the boy had an older accomplice who followed the boy into the bank. Bank robbery suspect surrendersun, ei'ph'to Prison volunteers say they fear harassment By Mark Schwanhansser Missourian staff writer About 15 prison- proje- ct volunteers have told a state official they are being harassed and are fearful they will be banned from the Missouri State Peni-tentiary. As Steve Gilpin, an aide to Lt. Gov. Kenneth J. Rothman, listened, volun-teers Thursday evening alleged that prison officals have repeatedly ha-rassed volunteers. They said they be-lieve officals want to discourage volun-teers from returning to state prisons. The volunteers, who asked to remain unidentified for fear of reprisals, cited as evidence for their claims the recent banning of volunteer Mark Saucier and two other volunteers. One reportedly has been reinstated. Saucier was barred from the prison after being quoted in a newspaper sto-ry about a lawsuit filed by inmate Ron Parton against Warden Donald Wy- ric- k, Associate Warden Bill Armen- trou- t, Lt. James G. Wyrick and two of-ficers from the Missouri Training Center for Men in Moberly. Parton, serving a 22- ye- ar sentence for kidnapping and rape, alleges the of-ficials beat him when he was trans-ferred to the prison from Moberly last August.
