Stock market rebounds
WASHINGTON (AP)—The gov
ernment’s chief economic barometer
declined for the first time since July,
the Commerce Department said Tues
day. The dip in the Index of Leading
Indicators turned into a bad-news-is
good report that helped calm inflation
fears and send stocks rebounding.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 82.06 points while long-term in
terest rates declined to 7.29 percent.
Monday’s 7.40 percent was the high
est level of the Clinton presidency.
The news gave Wal 1 Street a chance
to stage a badly needed rally after a
week of battered stock and bond pric
es. The downward slide was blamed
on investor fears that the economy
was growing so strongly that the Fed
eral Reserve would be forced to push
interest rates higher to stop inflation.
The slight decline in the leading
index was the first since a 0.2 percent
drop last July. Since that time, the
index rose for six straight months
including sol id gains of 0.4 percent in
January and 0.6 percent in December.
The February drop accounted for a
-44
We’ll get through this
if everybody will just

out.

U.S. President

decrease in the length of the factory
workweek and a drop in building per
m its, both bl amed on the severe weath
er. The government has already re
ported that the factory workweek re
bounded in March to an all-time high.
Analysts said the report indicated
that the economy would post solid
growth this year of around 3 percent,
as measured by the gross domestic
product.
That would be down from a break
neck pace of 7 percent GDP growth
turned in during the final three months
of last year.
The administration said investors
were finally beginning to realize they
had overreacted to fears that the econ
omy was overheating.
President Clinton sought to allay
nervousness by saying, “We’ll get
through this if everybody will just
remain calm and let the market work
itself out.”
Analysts said the rally in stocks
and bonds after the leading index
report was released occurred because
investors were eager to snap up bar
gains after the Dow Jones average of
3 0 bl uc eh ip stocks had been pushed to
its lowest level in six months.
Economists were not ready to say
on the basis of Tuesday’s rally that the
market turmoil was at an end. Some
said the market could be pushed into
further sell-offs by any reports that
hint at worsc-than-cxpcclcd inflation.
Others said they believed the episode
was characteristic of a normal correc
tion.

Blackmun to announce
retirement from court
WASHINGTON (AP)—Supreme
Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun,
author of the landmark Roe v. Wade
decision that in 1973 legalized abor
tion nationwide, will announce his
retirement Wednesday, the Associat
ed Press has learned.
Blackmun, 85, has served 24 years
on the nation’s highest court alter
being appointed in 1970 by President
Richard M. Nixon.
A government source told AP that
Blackmun would announce his retire
ment Wednesday morning.
The source, who spoke on the con
dition of anonymity, said Blackmun's
retirement would take effect at the end
of the court’s 1993-94 term, expected
in late June.
The vacancy will give President
Clinton his second opportunity for a
high court appointment. Clinton ap
pointed Ruth Bader Gmsburg to the
court last year.
A lifelong Republican, Blackmun
was considered a staunch conserva
tive in his early days on the court.
Today, he is considered by many ex

ports to be the court’s most liberal
justice.
Towering above all else in
Blackmun’s high court tenure was his
role in the 1973 Roc decision and in
subsequent abortion rulings. His au
thorship of Roc vs. Wade made him
lhe most v111lied Supreme Court mem
ber in history. Blackmun received
more than 60,000 pieces of “hate mail”
in the past two decades.
In a 19X3 interview with APon the
eve of Roe’s 10-year anniversary.
Blackmun repeated the phrase “au
thor of the abortion decision’’ slowly
and softly.
“We all pick up labs,” he said. “I 'll
carry this one to my grave.”
A Iter years of stopping just short of
reversing Roc vs. Wade, the court in
1992 reaffirmed, by a 5-4 vote, the
1973 ruling’s central holding—that
women have a constitutional right to
end their pregnancies.
By the time he retires, Blackmun
will be the third oldest person in his
tory to serve on the Supreme Court.
Police suspect
alcohol abuse
in Omaha deaths
OMAHA( AP)—Hundreds ofhigh
school students said goodbye Tuesday
to three friends k illed inacaraccideni
that police suspect was alcohol-relat
ed.
More than 1,000 adults and teen
agers packed St. Leo’s CatholicChurch
to pay their respects to Matthew
Guilfoyle, 16. Jaydn Lombardi, 16.
and Jancllc Papillon. 17. The three
died Friday when the car they were
riding in slammed into a tree after
swerving out of control on a street
northwest of Omaha,
Investigators said they believed
alcohol was a factor in the wreck.
Officers found malt liquor bottles at
the scene of the accident.
Thcdrivcrofthecar, Kristen Deck
er, 17, was hospitalized and under a
hold by the Douglas County sheriff s
office. No charges have been filed.
Douglas County Attorney Jim Jansen
said he would decide Wednesday
whether charges would be filed.
The three teens’ funerals were held
back-to-back: first a Mass forGuilfoyle
and Lombardi, who had been best
friends since elementary school, then
another for Papillon.
The Rev. David Korth. whopresid
cd over both Masses, said something
positive could come out of the tragedy
if the mourners would heed the les
sons of drunken driving.
“Allow the lesson to sink in so that
none of you have to experience the
intimate pain the Papillon family is
experiencing,” Korth said during Pap
illon’s funeral.
During a vigil for the youths Mon
day night, friends of the three victims
started a campaign against drunken
driving.
