Democracy and the free enterprise system face formidable obstacles in many countries we must help as teachers, not preachers, Reagan said Saturday night during an appearance at an Amway convention.

An airplanes an airplane, he said. Still, he was interested enough in a restored P-51 to take it up for a test flight Friday during a reunion with his famed 357th Fighter Group. The P-51 was the plane Yeager, a brigadier general, piloted when he shot down five German planes during a single mission with the 357th. Yeager went on from the 357th to find a place in aviation history books when he first broke the sound barrier Oct. 14, 1947, in a Bell X-l, causing the first sonic boom ever heard.

The presi-through Dock Square in downtown Kenn- dent is vacationing at his nearby Walkers Point bunkport, Maine, on Sunday. The demonstra- home, tion was aimed at drawing the attention of Bush heads back to school in renewed push for reforms WASHINGTON (AP) The head of the U.S. Conference of Mayors said Sunday American cities are fast becoming endangered institutions because President Bush and Congress refuse to address acute problems of homelessness, drugs, crime and unemployment. There has been a really callous indifference towards Americas cities, said Raymond Flynn, two-term major of Boston and president of the mayors organization. And thats the reason why were seeing some of the problems that are being played out each and every night in our communities problems of crime and problems pf violence and homelessness and problems with our young people, he said.

Flynn, appearing on NBCs Meet the Press, said it would be a mistake to say that its just the president alone that has been ignoring American cities, although lie said that Bush had not responded to a letter Flynn sent in early August asking for a meeting to talk about urban problems. It has been the whole Washington bureaucracy, and that includes the White House, the Congress, Democrats as well as Republicans; said Flynn. There has been no policy whatsoever dealing with building strong families, strong neighborhoods, strong American cities. Bush and his top aides have blamed congressional Democrats for lack of action on an array 'Of domestic issues, including a $105 billion highway construction and bridge maintenance bill. Democrats counter with charges that Bush had paid little attention to domestic problems.

Joining Flynn on the program were Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson and Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut. Jackson agreed with Flynn. We are a nation of failing cities. And therefore we are a failing nation, because 80 percent of the people in America live on 2 percent of the land, Jackson said. We are a nation of cities.

And we have an infrastructure that is being completely ignored. Jackson estimated it would cost $2 trillion to repair the infrastructures of the nations major cities. He said he is leading a coalition of 55 organizations that are begging Congress to take action now to repair and build bridges and sewers, develop an urban trust fund and create incentives for the private sector to invest. Hudnut was not as critical, noting that Bush is a master in the area of foreign affairs, and thats what hes had to deal with during the Persian Gulf war and the crisis in the Soviet Union. He said accomplishments in the domestic agenda include increased funding for the war against drugs and for Operation Head Start, the education reform initiative called America 2000 and Housing Secretary Jack Kemps tenant ownership program.

As we look down the road, the agenda is education, the environment, economic development, efficiency and a better management of city affairs, crumbling infrastructure, and empowerment, Hudnut said. And its an exciting agenda, but I really think that Americas up to solving it. BARNES In Baltimore, MD, on Saturday, Aug 30, 1991 Elizabeth A (Houser) Barnes, wife of William Barnes.

Whitman, 68, of 372 Van Buren Lebanon, died Saturday, Aug. 31, 1991, in the Hyman S. Pavilion. Born in Lebanon, he was a son of the late Harry E. and Gertrude A.

Hinebach Whitman. He had served in World War II and was a retired service employee from Middletown. Surviving is a son, Philip Whitman, California; a daughter, Jennie Woodring, Lebanon; three grandchildren; brothers Donald Whitman, Manheim, Eugene Whitman, Herbert Whitman and Larry Whitman, all of Lebanon; sisters Evelyn Fields, June Hollinger, Elaine Sheer, Gertrude Firestone, all of Lebanon, and Lillian Lyndecker, Beaver Falls, N.Y. governors alike have welcomed Bushs education emphasis. Card said this is an issue that is going to stay out of politics.

But other items on the domestic agenda are grist for the political mills, including the battle over a civil rights bill to overturn Supreme Court decisions that made it harder to prove job discrimination. Bush is fighting both Democrats and some Republicans on that one. The nomination of conservative black jurist Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court has pushed back Senate consideration of the civil rights bill, but that fight will be joined again later in the fall. Bush insists he is just trying to avoid forcing hiring quotas on employers; Democrats accuse him of playing racial politics with the issue. Bush also has threatened to veto measures that would ease abortionfunding restrictions and overturn a ban on abortion counseling at federally funded family planning clinics.

Bush was able to thwart a $5 billion extension of emergency unemployment benefits without a veto last month, but Democrats are vowing to press that issue forward again in the fall. For now, Card and other White House aides seek to minimize the veto threats and emphasize Bushs willingness to work with Congress to get acceptable crime, transportation, civil rights and other bills. But Bush also has carved out time on his September calendar for political trips to stump for Dick Thornburghs Senate campaign in Pennsylvania KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) President Bush and most of his Cabinet are headed back to school this week as the administration launches a renewed push for educational reforms and tries to dispel Democratic charges that they lack a domestic agenda. Bush will end his summer vacation and at the same time open the new academic year Tuesday by visiting two public schools and delivering a back-to-school speech to students in Lewiston, Maine. After a year dominated by foreign policy crises, from the Persian Gulf War to the splintering of the Soviet Union, Bush is back trying to fulfill his campaign pledge to be the education president.

Come November, Bush will be heading abroad again, with journeys on tap to Europe and the Far East. But for September and October, the White House will try to build pressure on Congress to act on a series of stalled domestic initiatives, from school reforms and a crime package to a national energy strategy and a $105-billion highway bill. Were really looking forward to the fall trying to figure out how best to get congressional action on some of our programs, Bush said after the first of two recent strategy sessions with domestic advisers at his summer home here. Bush and his lieutenants own up to frustration at their failure to get much of this legislation passed before now. Congress, contrary to their rhetoric, doesnt seem to have the interest in moving the domestic agen da forward, said deputy White House chief of staff Andrew Card.

It is frustrating. Democrats in turn accuse Bush of being consumed with his avowed first interest, foreign affairs. They say Bush has been missing in action on such pressing domestic problems as the cost and availability of health care. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, and Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, have introduced major legislative proposals in recent months to expand health coverage in the workplace, and their party is certain to harp on the health issue in the 1992 campaign.

Were going to have a domestic agenda and we hope the president will joing with us, House Speaker Thomas Foley, said Thursday. For the president, education is one domestic issue he can champion without worrying about the costs. His America 2000 education strategy relies largely on governors, state legislators and local communities to take their own actions to embrace tougher standards and build new, better schools for the 21st century. On Thursday, Bush will dispatch five Cabinet secretaries to Omaha, and send two more with his wife Barbara to Ellicott, where state and local officials are launching drives to meet the lofty education goals by the turn of the century. Bush wants Congress to pass legislation that would support efforts to give parents more choice of schools and bring a voluntary national exam system closer to reality.

First theyre ridiculed, then debated, and finally accepted. The Libertarians believe they have gotten past the ridicule phase. I think were in the phase where our ideas are starting to be debated and I think people who consider our ideas with an open mind are starting to accept them, Kalb said at the partys presidential nominating convention, which continued through Sunday. Acceptance is the most Libertarians dare hope for in 1992; they acknowledge that their presidential nominee, Andre Marrou, hardly stands a chance. With the Democrats in disarray 14 months before the election, President Bush looks like a shoo-in for another term, said delegate Dottie-Lou Brokaw of Woodstock, N.Y.

To say otherwise would be silly, she said. But like many members of the countrys third-largest political party, Brokaw was confident of winning converts next year. The Libertarians hope to be on the ballot in every state, and say they expect to get a lot of anti-Bush votes from people who see no significant difference between the GOP and the Democrats. The platform of the 20-year-old Libertarian Party is radically different from those of the major parties. Libertarians advocate personal freedom and voluntary cooperation.

They oppose taxes and regulation and see national defense as the federal governments main function. Several convention speakers said they favored making all drugs legal, under the Libertarian view that the government should let people make their own mistakes. Many Libertarians find their individualist philosophy defined in the works of author Ayn Rand, whose best-known novels are The Foun elected, to repeal the federal income tax and abolish the Internal Revenue Service. Marrou, a 52-year-old commercial real estate agent from Las Vegas, was opposed by Richard Benjamin Boddie, a charismatic motivational speaker from Huntington Beach, Calif. Marrou got 257 votes to 155 for Boddie.

1 Dr. Nancy Lord, a physician and lawyer from Washington, D.C., defeated Boddie on the third ballot Sunday for the vice-presidential nomination. 1 PENNSYLVANIA 1 Numbers drawn: 1 g-- Sunday, Sept. 1 Daily Number: ooo Big Four: QOOO tainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The four-day convention was attended by 453 delegates from all 50 states mostly white men in their 30s and 40s.

Gary D. McGath of Penacook, N.H., said he was splitting his time between the Libertarian convention and the World Science Fiction Convention at another hotel. Theres a lot of overlap between the Libertarians and the sci-fi people he said. Theyre both interested in the future, new possibilities, the frontier. The Libertarian Party, founded in 1971 in Colorado, met its greatest success in the 1980 election when a ticket headed by Edward Clark received 921,000 votes.

The partys 1988 ticket, headed by Ron Paul, garnered 430,000 votes compared to 47.9 million for the Bush-Quayle ticket. Marrou was the vice presidential candidate in 1988. In his acceptance speech Saturday, he pledged, if In Loving Memory of My Wonderful Wife Hilda B.
