Ted Bundy, a charming law school dropout who ended years of denials that he was a killer with emotional confessions to the gruesome slayings of 20 women in four states, was electrocuted Tuesday for murdering a 12-year-old girl. Bundy's last words, before a black hooded executioner pulled a switch at 7:06 a.m., sending 2,000 volts through his body, were to his lawyer and a minister: "Give my love to my family and friends." More than 100 supporters of the death penalty waiting in a field across from the Florida State Prisoa cheered, lit sparklers and set off firecrackers at the signal that 42-year- Israeli official may enact new restrictions From Associated Press reports JERUSALEM Defense Minis ter Yitzhak Rabin on Tuesday was considering new measures to stop the Palestinian uprising, including block ing Palestinians suspected of taking part in riots from entering Israel. Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian teenager in a predawn raid on a West Bank village, and at least 18 Palestinians were shot in clashes with troops. Several Israeli newspapers reported that a secret army report said the 13-month rebellion in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip would go on all year and that the violence could intensify. The assessment, reportedly com piled by senior officers, said the revolt could not be halted by military means because troops already were doing all they could without resorting to unacceptable levels of violence. Israel radio reported that Rabin was considering a policy to block suspected rioters from entering Israel but said he had not decided whether to adopt it. Work in Israel is the main source of income for an estimated 100,000 people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Rabin's policies for ending the uprising came under renewed criti cism Tuesday in a letter two dailies printed from an unidentified reserve soldier -who said service in the 1111 XXXY aEmcg ttm IlR&W(Wwmttu(wmS Monday thru Friday 7:45 am7:00'pm Check CashingPostal Services 8:00 am-5:00pm Textbooks 10:00 am-5:00 pm 10:00 am-5:00 pm Check CashingPostal Services 10:00 am-4:30pm Textbooks 10:00 am-2:00pm l:00pm-6:00pm- Check CashingPostal Services 1:00 pm-5:30 pin TextbooJcs Closed Thank You for your patience and business old Theodore Robert Bundy had finally been put to death for a crime committed almost 1 1 years ago. Three earlier execution dates were stymied by appeals. "The people of Florida today administered justice," Gov. Bob Martinez said after the execution. "If there's ever been anyone on Florida's death row that deserved the electric chair, Ted Bundy was that individual." Bundy had been quick-witted, known for his cockiness and arro gance a handsome, blue-eyed charmer. He was the subject of five books and a television miniseries, "The Deliberate Stranger." But he recently claimed to "feel God's presence" and was reported at occupied lands was a "nightmare." "I'm helpless against my feelings and wonder if that's what I was raised for by my parents, survivors of the terrible Holocaust," said the letter. Last week, soldiers complained to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir that they were forced to beat Palestinians to keep order. Abortion for health From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON Members of Congress said Tuesday that Louis Sullivan, President Bush's nominee as health and human services secretary, has told them he supports the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion and favors abortion in limited circumstances, but would carry out the pro-life policies of his new boss. The controversy is unlikely to threaten Sullivan's nomination. Senators who met with Sullivan said his comments appear to conflict with those of Bush, who told an anti abortion rally Monday he considers abortion an "American tragedy" and that he would like to see the high court's landmark 1973 decision lllllllllllimim" MEW atarday tmo.ay during our renovation. the end to be remorseful about his bloody trail of kidnappings, sadistic sexual mutilations and slayings in his home state of Washington and in Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Florida. His execution, for the murder of sixth-grader Kimberly Diane Leach of Salt Lake City, made him the 20th man put to death in Florida and the 106th in the United States since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to reinstate the death penalty in 1976. Kimberly was kidnapped from the grounds of her junior high school Feb. 9, 1978, just three weeks after the killings of two women at the Chi Omega sorority at Florida State University. The child's body was found three months later in an abandoned pigsty. Bundy was also The" United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which oversees Pales tinian refugees, issued a statement expressing concern over the "contin uing toll of casualties" and the indefinite closure of all 1,200 West Bank schools. Israel radio quoted Rabin as saying the school closures, ordered Friday, stand controversia secretary reversed. The White House maintained that Sullivan's position was consistent with Bush's. . Earlier this month, Sullivan told several senators during courtesy calls on Capitol Hill that he supports the court's 1973 decision. He also said he favors allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest and danger to the mother's life, exceptions Bush has said he also favors. Members of Sullivan's transition team referred all questions about the matter to the White House, where spokesman Marlin Fitzwater did not directly address reporters' questions of whether Sullivan, in his meetings with lawmakers, had parted company ' with Bush on the abortion issue. m under a death sentence for the two Chi Omega murders. Until near the end he had insisted he was innocent, although he had been suspected of as many as 36 killings and disappearances. Then late last week he began talking to investigators from the four Western states, closing the books on 20 unsolved crimes, including some in which he had not been a suspect. One of Bundy's final acts was to permit James Dobson, a California psychologist and host of a syndicated radio show, to videotape an interview to be broadcast later. Dobson de scribed Bundy as "feeling great remorse." He quoted Bundy saying his crimes "should serve as a warning to the dangers of pornography." were helping reduce casualties because classrooms served as hotbeds for protests. At least 18 Palestinians were reported shot in clashes that erupted during a general strike called by the PLO-backed leadership of the upris ing to protest the military's policies in the occupied territories. nominee Instead, Fitzwater insisted that Sullivan agrees with Bush's advocacy of reversing the Roe vs. Wade decision. In any event, the spokesman said, Bush's policy would prevail. "I am saying that in all of the times that the president has discussed this with Dr. Sullivan, Dr. Sullivan has said his views are consistent with those of the president, and we have no information to the contrary." Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., who is firmly pro-choice and a Sullivan supporter, said the doctor told him that "I will carry out the administra tion's policy, but my personal view on Roe vs. Wade is that I support the decision and don't think it should be overturned." ' Packwood also said Sullivan; said hedidnt understand "this dispropor tionate interest in abortion," an issue that commands only a tiny fraction of the department's annual budget of nearly $400 billion. 5 .....

"Same way that some Texans were born in Kennebunkport," said Wright, D-Texas. It was a reference to the ocean side resort town in Maine where the Bush family maintains a vacation home. Actually, Bush was born in Milton, Mass., and grew up in Connecticut before " declaring Texas his adopted state. Bush was presented the "Texas Pete" hot sauce, manufactured in Winston-Salem, N.C., and ajar of pork rinds by Wright and other congressional leaders at a White House meeting called by Bush to promote political peace. "Just lovely," Bush said of the gifts. Pork rinds are one of the president's favorite snacks, and he smothers much of his food with hot pepper sauce. Election delay turned down SAN SALVADOR, El Salva dor The president's party on Tuesday rejected a new offer by leftist guerrillas to participate in elections if voting is postponed for six months. Fidel Chavez Mena, the Chris tian Democratic presidential can didate and a close adviser to President Jose Napoleon Duarte, said "great efforts must be made on behalf of peace" but that putting off elections beyond March 31 would be unconstitutional.
