BATON ROUGE, La. Televi
sion evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who
stepped down from his pulpit after
allegations of immoral conduct with
a prostitute erupted, thanked
members of all religions Sunday for
their support during what he called
"the darkest week" he has
experienced.
During a brief appearance before
his congregation at the Jimmy Swag

gart thanked about 4,000 worshippers
for their backing.

From Associated Press reports
PANAMA CITY, Panama
Deposed president Eric Arturo Del
valle stayed in hiding Sunday and
defied Gen. Manuel Antonio
Noriega, the military strongman who
ousted him and ordered him out of
the country.
The ex-president's whereabouts
were a closely guarded secret, but
family members said he was in a "safe
and secure place" in Panama, in
"good spirits" and determined to
regain his job.
"I am going to stay here (and) stick
it out," Delvalle told ABC television
in a telephone interview Saturday
night. "I'm going to fight it all the
way."
Candidates
From Associated Press reports
George Bush, whose backers
claimed victory Sunday in Maine's
Republican presidential caucuses,
was attacked by chief rival Bob Dole
on the Iran-contra affair. Rep. Jack
Kemp, meanwhile, blasted the two
GOP frontrunners on taxes.
As the Democrats geared up for
their second debate in two days,
Michael Dukakis grabbed an early
lead in the Maine Democratic cau
cuses. The Massachusetts governor
had been favored to score a victory
on his New England home turf.

would not have made it. It's just that
plain and simple," Swaggart said.
Swaggart, who last week confessed
to unspecified sins, reportedly paid
a prostitute to pose naked and tried
to make a deal with a minister who
confronted him about it.
Although Swaggart again did not
specify his sin, lie said he had received
the love and prayers of members of
various denominations and religious
groups.
"That is what is so beautiful about

Delvalle did not reveal his hiding
place.
Roderick Esquivel, Delvalle's vice
president, was also in hiding.
Both men were ousted early Friday
in an action by the National Legis
lative Assembly orchestrated by
Noriega, chief of defense forces.
Delvalle ignited the latest crisis in
eight months of continuing unrest in
Panama on Thursday when he tried
to fire Noriega, who is charged in
Florida with corruption and narcotics
trafficking. The United States also
has urged Noriega to step down as
military chief.

their first full-scale face-off of the

at Bush for the Reagan administra
tion's decision to trade arms for
hostages in the Iran-contra affair.
That, he said, was a big mistake.
"We never should trade arms for
hostages. We shouldn't issue these
reports and say we shouldn't trade

ident's report and then later go
to a meeting and say it's all right.
We shouldn't do those things," Dole
said, holding up a report on terrorism
that was written by a presidential
commission headed by Bush.

Swaggart said.
Swaggart, who on Saturday
received support and sympathy from
presidential candidate Pat Robert
son, a former television evangelist,
said his worldwide ministry would
continue.
"First of all, this ministry belongs
to God. Secondly, this ministry will
continue. And last, but certainly not
least, this ministry will be what he
wants it to be," Swaggart said.
Making only brief reference to
action the Assemblies of God denom
ination has taken against him, Swag
gart said he would spend the next
Friday evening and Delvalle's tele
phones were cut, leaving him incom
municado and under an undeclared
house arrest.
Sometime that night, he reportedly
climbed over a patio wall at the rear
of the house and escaped through a
neighbor's yard, avoiding the police
men who had been posted on the
street in front of his home.
The Panamanian government Sun
day claimed U.S. officials were hiding
Delvalle at an American military
installation in Panama.
But Gabriel Lewis, a former Pan
amanian ambassador to Washington,
said Sunday he was "under the
protection of a good Panamanian
family and they will never find him."

Delvalle's hopes of regaining the
presidency suffered a setback Satur
day night when the Permanent
Council of the Organization of
American States (OAS), meeting in
Washington, declined to take any
action against Panama.
Delvalle and the Reagan admin

the OAS would agree to impose trade
sanctions against Panama or at least
approve a resolution condemning the
president's ousting by the military.

Shultz gains support for plan
to end strife in Middle East
From Associated Press reports
Jerusalem Secretary of State
George Shultz finally made a little
headway Sunday in his uphill fight
to gain Arab and Israeli support
for negotiations on a Middle East
settlement.
"They liked the package," said
a senior U.S. official after Shultz
outlined his proposal in a three
hour meeting with Egyptian Pres
ident Hosni Mubarek in Cairo.
Shultz then flew to Israel to
resume his discussions with Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir Sunday
night over dinner and with For
eign Minister Shimon Peres on
Monday before flying to Amman
for a second round of talks with
Jordanian officials.
"We have a package that is
promising at least we think it
is promising," Shultz said after
seeing Mubarek. "Whether
anyone else thinks it is promising
is a question."
Egyptian Foreign Minister
Ismat Abdel-Meguid, standing
alongside Shultz under cloudy
Cairo skies, did not respond.
But a U.S. official, who spoke
on conditions of anonymity about
Shultz's flight to Jerusalem, said
that Egypt had endorsed the U.S.
proposal. On Saturday, Syrian
and Jordanian officials rejected
the plan as unacceptable.

"Representatives from companies
can tell students they are only getting

she said. "It is also legal not to tell
a person why they were refused a job."
Trissy Hartmeyer, a senior from
Long Island, N.Y., thinks employers
who drug-test without telling the
applicant are infringing on a person's
rights.
"Because I am currently interview

News in Brief
say FBI agents have interviewed
a Guilford County sheriff after she
said she had been kidnapped at
gunpoint by a couple who drove
her halfway across the country,
robbed an Iowa bank and then
released her unharmed in Chicago.
Local and federal authorities
said late Saturday they are
seriously investigating the story
told by Deputy Susan K. Vincent
of High Point, but law officers say
they are suspicious.
"I don't know if it's on the up-End-up,"
said Guilford County
Sheriff Walter Burch, who was
notified about the kidnapping
report Saturday afternoon. "But
based on what the FBI said, we
have to take it seriously. I have
seen these kind of things happen."

On an average, 20 of 400 drug tests ;

he said.
"Many times we get a bad name
