"Also, when you're eating fiber, you're not eating fat," which is associated with increasing blood cholesterol. Explanations for breakfast-skippers' higher cholesterol is less clear, Resnicow said, but may be because these youths "are less health conscious and eating more fat during the day and less high fiberlow-fat foods." In his study supported by the Cancer Research Foundation of America and reported in a recent issue of Journal of School Health Resnicow analyzed checklists of breakfast and snack foods consumed by 530 school children, ages 9-19. Students also answered a questionnaire on nutrition and breakfast. Each student's height, weight and cholesterol level were recorded.
Breakfast-skippers were less likely to believe in the importance and benefits of breakfast as well as the need to eat foods high in fiber. By MICHELLE HEALY Gannett News Sarvict WASHINGTON, D.C. Here's another good reason to get youngsters to eat breakfast: It may reduce their risk of future heart disease. Findings from a preliminary study show that students who consistently skip the morning meal have significantly higher blood cholesterol levels than do those who regularly eat breakfast. It also shows that among students who eat breakfast, those who regularly eat high-fiber cereals have the lowest cholesterol levels.
High blood cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. While the ideal cholesterol level for youths is between 140 and 150, breakfast skippers had a mean level of 172, "way above the national mean of 165," said Ken Resnicow, author of the study. The mean level for fiber-rich cereal-eaters was 149. The positive showing for fiber cereal-eaters "is no big mystery," said Resnicow, a health psychologist with the American Health Foundation in New York. Crider resigns The Rev.

The army, seeking to quash reports that the military was divided over whether to support Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, declared Sunday that it was "completely united." Reports, however, indicated the armed forces remained divided on whether to support Milosevic. There were indications that military officials were meeting, but no further statements were issued. There were no signs of increased military activity.
Also Sunday, the main opposition Serbian Renewal Movement renewed its call for the resignation of Milosevic's Socialist government, the renamed Serbian Communists. The opposition party has been backing daily protests by tens of thousands of anti-Communist demonstrators in the last week. It blames the government for violence at a rally on March 9 that left two people dead. The country was pushed to the brink of a military crackdown after Serbia, the country's largest republic, announced Saturday that it no longer recognized federal authority because Yugoslavia's executive branch the EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. (AP) -About 55,000 gallons of light oil spilled Sunday into Santa Monica Bay, glazing five square miles of water after a tanker apparently pierced an underwater pipeline with its anchor.
mmm The closest Um oil to shore was wi a mile from the PRICCC Chevron USA DtllCrO Inc. refinery in El Segundo, said Chevron spokesman Tom Ri-chart. Thirteen skimmers and boom-towing boats were sent to contain the spill, but Richart said there wasn't much they could do because the fuel was too light. Three oil-soaked birds were recovered from the bay for cleaning, said Lt. Reed Smith of the state Department of Fish and Game.
He said dozens of sea lions and dolphins make their home in the area of the spill. Texas leads nation in police brutality DALLAS, TEXAS (AP) More Texas law enforcement officers have been investigated and prosecuted for brutality than officers in any other state, a study shows. Texas, the nation's third most populous state, had 2,015 investigations of alleged police brutality between 1984 and 1989, The Dallas Morning News reported in its Sunday editions. Second on the list was California with 1,294 investigations, followed by Louisiana with 1,050. Vermont was last, recording just three investigations during the five-year span.
Fugitive from Texas captured on French Riviera Dalai Morning Ntwt DALLAS, TEXAS Joy Aylor, who jumped bond last year just before she was to stand trial on charges she hired a hit man to murder her husband's girlfriend, was captured Saturday near a resort city on the French Riviera, officials said. The Dallas socialite was being held in a jail cell in Nice after police there arrested her without incident. Officials said they would work to extradite Aylor, 40, to face a capital murder charge in the 1983 slaying of homemaker Rozanne Gailiunas of suburban Richardson, Texas. Daily News unions continue last-minute talks NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP) Leaders of unions at the Daily News continued efforts Sunday to work out last-minute snags in contract agreements reached with British publisher Robert Maxwell, who agreed to buy the troubled tabloid.
Five of nine unions that have been striking the paper have yet to settle on contract language with Maxwell's lawyers. The unions must ratify individual contracts by Wednesday, when Maxwell is to take over the newspaper from the Tribune Co. 'Hake love, not war' catches on; Chinese elders aghast JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA (AP) At least 15 people died in scattered violence Sunday, including fOUr killed saaaaaaavjaaeaBBBiaaM before a peace rally that drew WORLD more than 2,000 nnirrc supporters of Dltltrd Inkatha, a lead- ing anti-apartheid group, police said. Six people died in fighting at a hostel, and five died in other incidents, police said. The violence occurred despite peace meetings last week between Inkatha and the rival African National Congress.
Inkatha held the rally in Alexandra township as part of what it called its effort to stop violence in the tense community. The bodies of four people who were hacked to death were found in the hours leading up to the rally, and when word spread, police had to restrain armed bands from leaving the demonstration to avenge the deaths. Opposition gains in Finland elections HELSINKI, FINLAND (AP) -The main opposition party gained control of more than a quarter of parliament in elections Sunday, apparently marking an end to a three-party coalition that has governed since 1987. Political leaders said the Center Party, which gained 15 seats for a total of 55 in the 200-member single-chamber house, would form the new government. With all 2.4 million votes counted, the three-party governing coalition claimed a total of 99 seats in the parliament, the Eduskunta, down from 121 seats.
The coalition includes the Social Democrats, Conservative Party and the smaller Swedish People's Party, which represents the 6 percent of Finns who speak Swedish. Albania releases 120 political prisoners VIENNA, AUSTRIA (AP) Communist Albania freed more than 120 political prisoners Sunday, but opposition activists said the action fell short of a pledge to release all prisoners held for anti-government activity. Some of the released inmates reported that 26 other prisoners were on a hunger strike and threatened to "set themselves afire" if they were not free by Tuesday night. Newspaper says Honecker used blackmail in transfer FRANKFURT, GERMANY (AP) A major German newspaper re ported Sunday that former East German leader Erick Honecker had threatened to disclose documents incriminating the Soviets in the murder of Germans if he was brought to trial. German officials reiterated calls for the return of Honecker, 78, who was abruptly transferred by the Soviets last week from a Soviet military hospital near Berlin to Moscow.
In Moscow, German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, who said the Honecker affair "cast a shadow" over Soviet-German relations, met with his Soviet counterpart, Alexander Bessmertnykh. jieistcr.

federal presidency would not impose a state of emergency. Milosevic made the declaration in an apparent attempt to induce the army to support his efforts to hold Yugoslavia together with a strong Communist government in Belgrade. The republics of Slovenia and Croatia want the nation dissolved into a loose confederation of sovereign states and have threatened secession if they don't get it. The presidency theoretically commands the military, but the army is dominated by Serbian officers and is generally sympathetic to Milosevic. But there is dissent in Croatia also.
On Saturday, leaders of ethnic Serbs living in the Krajina region announced their secession from Croatia and mobilized their own reservists. "We will not allow any secession of the so-called Krajina region from Croatia," the republic's president, Franjo Tudjman, responded. Three members of the eight-man federal presidency the representatives of Serbia, its ally Montenegro and Serbian province Vojvodina supported Milosevic's call for a state of emergency to restore order in the Balkan nation. Milosevic announced Saturday that he is seeking to replace a fourth member who opposed the state of emergency the representative of Kosovo, formally another Serbian province. iiNobody is interested in politics anymore; youngsters only want to have funJ9 High school teacher marital flings.
In response to this betrayal of China's culture, the nation's aged leaders have extracted from the dustbin the once-sacrosanct Maoist figures of Good Samaritan Soldier Lei Feng, selfless firefighter Lai Ning and incorruptible Communist Party cadre Jiao Yulu and held them up as examples. Earlier this month, 150,000 high school students were ordered to "imitate" the deeds of Lei Feng and clean up the capital. Party cadres, work units and schools were bused to cinemas to watch a tear-jerking potboiler about Jiao Yulu, who entered the Communist pantheon as a model of sobriety and an example of the moral values of socialism. The Communist Party banned the showing of "Ju Dou," the first Chinese movie nominated for a Hollywood Oscar. Liu Cheng, head of China's State Film Bureau censorship board, said the film had too little artistic merit and too many nude scenes.
Filmmakers say the objection stems not from nudity those who saw one of the many videocassettes now in circulation clandestinely say the only bare flesh was the back and upper buttocks of the star but the movie's theme. "Ju Dou" is about a young woman forced into marriage with an old man who mistreats her. The wife takes a lover, and the husband takes terrible revenge, a kind of symbolism for the 1989 uprising when the nation's youth challenged China's leaders, who responded with a massacre. To channel the cravings of romance-starved Chinese into party hands, China's Women's Federation this month launched a campaign to find the country's model husband. Whatever the party does, experts agree that it has no chance of turning back the clock to the late 1970s, when women were courted according to their class consciousness and the quest for physical attractiveness was an ideological sin punishable with years of re-education in the countryside.

(AP) There's a new anti-theft accessory for cars -the cellular phone. Lynne Rosier was describing her missing car to Metro-Dade police officer Ralph Baena, and decided to call the phone in her car.
A male voice answered. Baena took over, telling the person he understood the car was for sale. "Meet me in the parking lot at Sunset High," the suspect replied. Five minutes later, police rolled up at the high school to find an 18-year-old leaning against the stolen car. They arrested him Friday on charges of grand theft.
Rosier got her car, and the phone, back. "Better than anything I've seen on TV," she said. Thief steals worthless card OMAHA, NEB. (AP) A thief broke into a sports shop where items worth thousands of dollars were on display and stole a nearly worthless reproduction of a baseball card. And that's all the thief took.
"You never want to laugh at a break-in. But this is so stupid, it's funny," said Herb Eveland, owner of Tuva Enterprises sports card, memorabilia and stamp shop. Eveland kept a reproduction of a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card in a display case. As a joke, he put a $12,000 price tag on it. The thief grabbed the fake and broke some display cases in last Friday's break-in, then left.
"There was a $2,000 picture of Babe Ruth sitting next to it, and there were cases of cards all around. But that fake Mantle was all we found missing," Eveland said. The 1952 Topps Mantle is considered one of the rarest and finest cards in collecting. In near-mint to mint condition, this rookie card carries a $10,000 to $15,000 price tag. Eveland said he would install iron bars in the front of his shop, but he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
"I put four more of those Mantles out," he said. "The sign said, 'Special Today: from battle City and become a commercial airline pilot. His wife, a Dallas Center native, has found a job here.

Second generation returns By ULI SCHMETZER Chlcag Tribune BEIJING, CHINA While the rest of the world was preoccupied with war and civil strife, China's geriatric leaders were waging their own struggle against runaway romance and too much sex instead of ideology among the citizenry. In a society steeped in Maoist chasteness and prudish Confucian teachings, the official research institutes were startled to discover that 70 percent of Chinese now think copulation is for pleasure and not to procreate or to discharge one's conjugal duties as everyone in China once was told. Even a state-run contest for a model husband is encumbered by the prerequisite that the candidates must have satisfied their wives in bed.
"China is going through a 'make love, not war' phase. Nobody is interested in politics anymore, and youngsters only want to have fun," said one high school teacher. Cinemas running romantic films, especially soap operas from India, have no empty seats. Teen-agers kiss in public and walk hand-in-hand, misdemeanors that formerly were punished by expulsion from school. Adults, often pressured into marriages of convenience, indulge in lunchtime trysts and clandestine affairs.

"I realized the pride that I felt for what my father had stood for, and what his life and death was about. It was not only about our freedom, but protecting the lives of other people." Brown's father was a fighter pilot with the Iowa Air National Guard at Sioux City. He was called to active duty and sent to Phu Cat Air Base in South Vietnam in 1968.
Lt. Warren K. Brown, who was 29, died July 14, 1968, when his F-100 Super Sabre jet was shot down over Cambodia. He had been flying with two other fighters when one of the other planes was hit by anti-aircraft fire. He dropped his bombs, turned around and destroyed the anti-aircraft battery, but was hit by a battery from the other side of the valley.
He ejected, but searchers found him dead on the ground. Airport Memorial Besides his wife and Troy, Warren Brown left another son, Todd, now 25, a Morningside College graduate who is a loan representative at Security National Bank in Sioux City. Warren Brown was the second in his family to die in the service. A brother, Lt. Eldon Brown, was killed in 1957 when his Marine fighter crashed.
Warren Brown wasn't forgotten after his death. A memorial to him stands at the flagpole at Sioux Gateway Airport, and when Troy Brown decided to become a pilot, officers at the Iowa Air National Guard's base in Sioux City gave their support. Troy Brown joined the Air Guard in Sioux City at 18 while a college freshman. After graduating from Iowa State University in political science, he entered flight training.
