Iowa poll: Simon tops Democrats; Dole leads Bush
DES MOINES, Iowa — Illinois
Sen. Paul Simon has moved to the top
L of the Democratic presidential field in
Iowa, while Senate Republican
Leader Bob Dole holds a narrow lead
over Vice President George Bush in
the GOP race, a poll published Sunday
indicated.
The poll, conducted by the Dcs
Moines Register, said Dole was fa
vored by 36 percent of those likely to
attend the Republican precinct cau
cuses in February, compared to 30
•
percent for Bush. The rest of the GOP
field trailed far behind.
Among Democrats, Simon got the
backing of 24 percent of those who
said they’ll attend Democratic cau
cuses, with Massachusetts Gov. Mi
chael Dukakis in second at 18 percent.
Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt, who
led in the last poll published in August,
was third with 14 percent.
“A lot of little things are breaking
in the right direction,” said Simon
during a campaign stop in Minnesota.
“I think it means dearly that as the
people of Iowa get to know Paul
Simon, they like what they see,” said
Pat Mitchell, S imon’s Iowa campaign
manager.
Gephardt downplayed the poll’s
results, and aides insisted he’ll make a
strong showing in the February cau
cuses.
“I don’t want to peak in November,
I want to peak on Feb. 8 in Iowa,”
Gephardt said. “I think we arc pro
ceeding in a steady and consistent
manner, and I think we will get a good
result.”
Questioned during a Iowa cam
paign stop, Dole said the poll con
firmed his feeling that the GOP battle
is a two-person race.
“Unless I miss something, it’s a
race between myself and Bush,” Dole
said, taking a shot at Bush’s role in
Washington. “One is a player, one is
an observer. I’m the player.”
New York Rep. Jack Kemp was in
third place among Republicans while
Jesse Jackson was fourth among
Democrats.

Plane flips in snow killing at least 18
DENVER — A Continental
Airlines jet with 81 people aboard
flipped on its back while taking off
from Denver’s airport in a snow
storm Sunday and skidded along
the runway, killing at least 18
people and causing numerous inju
ries, authorities said.
“We counted 18 dead outside
the plane, and there arc several
dead in the fuselage,” said Staple
ton International Airport spokes
man Richard Boulwarc.
The plane, Flight 1713, was
traveling to Boise, Idaho, said
Continental spokesman Ned
Walker. The crash took place
shortly after 2 p.m. MST.
Rescue work was hampered by
snow and ice, and some survivors
were still trapped inside the plane
more than two and a half hours
after the accident, said Boulware.
“Many people arc survivors at
this point,” Walker said. “It’s loo
early to speculate on anything that
could have occurred (to make the
plane crash).”
Rescue workers set up emer
gency lights on the runway and
used electric saws to remove
wreckage. The airport was closed
shortly after the accident.
Paul Spurgeon, division chief
with the Denver Fire Department,
said the plane flipped upside down
on a north-south runway and skid
ded for over one-quarter mile bc
■ fore coming to a halt.
Kennedy nomination splits
anti-abortion community
WASHINGTON — Anthony M.
Kennedy’s Supreme Court nomina
tion has split the anti-abortion com
munity, even though he has never
ruled on an abortion ease during 12
years on the bench.
One anti-abortion organization
offered positive, but guarded praise
for the nomination, a second strongly
criticized it, and two other groups look
no position.
The abortion question is crucial to
these groups and to pro-choice organi
zations because the court is consid
ered slit 4-4 on the issue. The next
nominee could lip the balance for
years to come.
Pro-choice groups and other
women’s organizations have taken no
position yet on Kennedy.
The anti-abortion National Right
To l ife Committee reacted positively
toward Kennedy because he favors
judicial rcslraint — interpreting the
law, not making it. The organization
said only a judicial activist would
favor a decision such as Roc vs. Wade,
the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that
legalized abortion.
But another anti-abortion group,
the American Life League, said it
mistrusts anyone the Reagan White
House would nominate for the court
and opposes Kennedy because he
didn’t criticize the Roc decision in the
one chance he had.
That was in 1980 when Kennedy
wrote for a three-judge panel in the
case of Bcller vs. Middendorf. The
ruling upheld former Navy regula
tions calling for the automatic dis
charge of sailors who engaged in
homosexual conduct. Kennedy cited
Roc in that ruling without making any
comment, favorable or unfavorable.
