2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, November 2, 1988 World and Nation Caododates make camnipao From Associated Press reports ; George Bush campaigned like a president-to-be Tuesday, saying he hoped for a meeting with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev soon after moving into the Oval "Office. Demo crat Michael Dukakis said "Made in America" was the only label he cared about as he bid for union support. ' The polls one week before Election Day showed Bush a solid leader, and the contrast in campaign styles between the front-runner and the underdog couldn't have been plainer. The vice president struck an above-the-fray pose in a speech at the University of Notre Dame, saying he wanted to meet Gorbachev for a "serious and direct examination" of superpower relations. Dukakis was in the political trenches, blending his appeal for blue collar support with an attack on alleged Republican influence peddling. His aides said their private polls pointed to a race that was narrowing. Privately, some Democrats expressed doubts, and ABC said its survey of California showed Bush a leader by seven points in the nation's biggest state. mow D) U A, LBimUVJUMJ MM fir fir THE WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL STUDIES CENTER STUDY IN OXFORD, ENGLAND Dan Quayle, Bush's running mate, expressed irritation with GOP cam paign managers after they abruptly switched his schedule to cancel a trip to South Bend, Ind. the same city Bush was visiting. Democratic vice presidential can didate Lloyd Bentsen climbed into the cockpit of an F-16 fighter for the benefit of television cameras as he renewed his campaign to persuade Texans that Dukakis would be strong on defense. President Reagan was on the road for the benefit of Bush and other Republicans, ripping into Dukakis for describing himself as a liberal in the mold of Roosevelt and Truman. Dukakis is no "Harry Truman and he's no FDR," the outgoing president said and then depicted this year's Democatic candidate as a man pursuing the "Carter-Mondale liberal agenda." Transition planners were on a schedule that couldn't wait for the election. Stationery bearing the politically correct letterhead "Office of the President-elect" was on order to suit either Bush or Dukakis. Bush behaved like a man who thought he'd be using the stationery. He said "much progress has been made" in superpower relations during the Reagan years and added it was important for he and Gorbachev to n stops "size each other up" correctly. He said he would ask his secretary of state to "make it clear that I am prepared to meet with General Secretary Gorbachev at the earliest time that would serve the interests of world peace. "My purpose in such a meeting would not be to achieve any grand breakthrough but to engage in a serious and direct examination of where we are and how we can best go forward toward further arms reductions, a decrease in regional tensions and further adherence to human rights and thus toward a surer peace," he said. The vice president was heckled periodically by about two dozen people, but he told the rest of his audience of 2,000 that he had come to expect it as a part of life on the campaign trail. In a curious sidelight to the cam paign, a top Bush fund-raiser denounced as "rotten" a report implying that he was trying to use his position to land a public relations contract for his firm with the govern ment of Haiti. Fred Bush, who is not related to the vice president, said he had told his partner Michael Govan to "forget it" when it came to Haiti, but his partner had ignored the admonition and had written the nation's new president using Bush's name.

The spokesman, Jerzy Urban, said such disruptions would be a normal consequence of reforming the economy and would not be treated "like an earthquake" as in the past. On Monday, the government announced that Poland's biggest shipyard, where the banned Solid arity trade union came to life in August 1980, would be closed for economic reasons Dec. 1. The shipyard has long been a symbol of worker dissent in Poland. Its August 1980 strike toppled Communist Party leader Edward Gierek, and a strike in August of this year contributed to the ouster of Prime Minister Zbigniew Messner. Soviets work to cut deficit MOSCOW The Soviet Union's top economic managers said Tuesday they have begun to reduce a 10-year budget deficit and now are worried about a socialist style inflation that is driving cheap consumer goods off the shelves. Finance Minister Boris Gostev told a news conference called by the new Information Department of the Council of Ministers that the deficit was "extremely large, critically large" in the mid-1980s but has begun to drop slightly. That is starkly different from previous Soviet claims of annual surpluses. "For the first time we have clearly stated that a deficit exists," Gostev said. NCAA penalizes Kansas MISSION, Kan. The Uni versity of Kansas, the defending national college basketball cham pion, was put on a three-year probation Tuesday by the NCAA for recruiting violations and will not be allowed to defend its title. In addition to being barred from postseason play in the first year of the probation, the Jayhawks will not be. allowed to give paid campus recruiting visits in 1989 and will be stripped of one scho larship during that period. The NCAA strongly considered the "death penalty" which would have shut down the basketball program for one year. Only South ern Methodist University has ever suffered this censure. News in Brief Jordan pitches road plans CHARLOTTE Democrat Bob Jordan kept up his attack Tuesday against incumbent Gov. Jim' Martin, telling area residents at a midday rally they have more at stake in the election than any other part of the state. Jordan said Charlotte's traffic congestion would be improved dramatically by his plan to seek $5 billion in state funds for road construction through the end of the century. Speaking about his $5 billion highway package, Jordan said his opponent "doesn't have the guts to call on the people of North Carolina to do what needs to be done." Tim Pittman, a spokesman for the Martin campaign, said Jordan has not explained what he would do with his highway package or how he would raise the money to fund it. S.C. state trooper buried DILLON, S.C. Hundreds of highway patrolmen stood at atten tion in long, gray rows Tuesday as a 21 -gun salute crackled in the crisp autumn air to honor slain highway patrolman George Til lman Radford. The plaintive notes of taps sounded across the wind-washed Greenlawn Perpetual Care Ceme tery east of Dillon as Gov. Carroll Campbell and more than 500 law enforcement officers, some from as far away as Maryland and Mississippi, looked on. About 200 others attended the funeral for Radford, who was shot and beaten after giving a motorist a warning ticket for a defective headlight late Saturday night. A 30-year-old Latta man, Dou glas Manning, has been charged with murder, kidnapping, armed robbery and driving with a sus pended license in the case, author ities said.
