James L. Murray, 44, of Derby, Conn., was captured Wednesday after the 60-mile chase when he t control of his rented car and crashed into two other cars on the Golden State Freeway, authorities said. ' * Murray was treated for minor cuts. Two other motorists suffered minor to moderate injuries. "I asked him where he was go­ ing and he said to visit his mother," Highway Patrol Officer David Padgett said. "I asked where did his mother live, and he said Los Angeles. "I asked who was his mother and he said, 'Jesus Christ. ."1 asked him what did he think he should do when he sees a red light (on a CHP car behind him) and he said it means get into the left lane and go like hell,"Padgett said. Murrav hppan his race from police in the Newhall area north of Los Angeles, authorities said. Between 10 and 15 patrol cars took turns chasing the car and a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter also helped. No officers were involved in the crash. Murray roared past moderate to heavy traffic throughout the chase, traveling either in the fast lane or on the center divider. " "It's amazing he didn't cause more collisions," Padgett said. Padgett was booked on suspi­ cion of felony drunken driving and evading arrest. Shuttle flight is going A-OK CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Discovery's crew launched a boxy satellite Tuesday to look for evidence of a black hole at the core of the Milky Way and ground crews promised no more foul-ups for a rescheduled "Star Wars" test. Astronaut Shannon Lucid, using the shuttle's 50- foot-long robot arm, released the 2,190-pound Spar­ tan satellite at 12:02 p.m. If all goes well, the automated observatory will be retrieved Saturday after spending 45 hours on its own recording X-rays from the heart of the Milky Way and from .a cluster of galaxies in the Perseus constellation. Scientists hope to use the data to learn more about the evolution of the universe and whether black holes, objects with such intense gravity even light cannot escape, are common in the cosmos. Commander Daniel Brandenstein, co-pilot John Creighton and crewmates Shannon Lucid, Steven Nagel, John Fabian, Frenchman Patrick Baudry and Saudi Prince Sultan Salman Al-Saud have sail­ ed through the first three days of the 18th shuttle mission. » Cuba links new Coke, decadence By United Press International MIAMI -- New Coke, the first change in the secret recipe of Coca-Cola in 99 years, is another sign of the moral collapse of U.S. capitalism, according to a broad­ cast by Cuba's Radio Rebelde. In a lengthy editorial on the government-controlled radio Wednesday, a commentator noted there had been protests in several U.S. cities against the taste change in the popular soft drink. "The controversy has transcended the limits of the palate and converted itself into a sentimental battle for those wHo each day find fewer agreeable things to list in the United States," said the broadcast monitored in Miami/ The broadcast said new Coke is being heralded throughout the United States in an intense ad campaign linking it to historic and patriotic moments in U.S. history. "Seemingly tired of looking for patriotism in the backpacks of Marines, North Americans have now elevated the taste of Coca- Cola to the level of a national emblem," a commentator said. "Many* North Americans view Coca-Cola as something inherent in the national grandeur and only comparable to the symbolic Statue of Liberty or the skyscrapers of New York," the broadcast said. "Many Marine infantrymen went to make war on other con- tinents, carrying a soft drink in their packs -- but not even Coca- Cola will be capable of rescuing national values that simply no longer exist, "it said. Cancer survival stats eyed By i UP] I Science Writer BOSTON -- Some of the im­ provement in cancer patients' sur­ vival rate may be an illusion caus­ ed by statistical quirks not previously understood, Yale University researchers said Wednesday. A study of lung cancer victims treated at three Yale-affiliated hospitals between 1953 and 1977 found no statistically significant improvement in survival , although it appeared at first that a clear improvement had taken place. "These results are distressing because they suggest that the con­ temporary improvement of sur­ vival rates, at least among pa­ tients with lung cancer, is a statistical artifact," said the report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The team dubbed the statistical i l lusion the "Will Rogers Phenomenon" after a quote at­ tributed to - the late actor- humorist. Commenting on the migration of poor Oklahoma farmers to California during the Great Depression, Rogers is alleged to have said, "When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to Califor­ nia, they raised the average in­ telligence level in both states." What Rogers meant in jest was that the Oklahoma itinerants were brighter than California residents, so when they moved they raised California's average intelligence. At the same time, the Oklahoma immigrants were less intelligent than the average Oklahoma resident so the average Oklahoma intelligence level rose as well. Dr. Alvan R. Feinstein, a Yale Women bolster labor epidemiologist and the report's primary author, found a similar phenomenon among cancer pa­ tients.. Cancer patients are often put in­ to three categories -- those with tumors, those with nodes and those with metastases. Each step is more advanbed than the last. As diagnostic equipment has improved, patients first classified in a less serious category are now being put into more severe categories. Therefore, the survival rates for the lower categories improves because the sicker people are taken out, as does the survival rates in the higher catagories, because less sick people are put in. However, the overall survival rate does not change. "The benefi t (of cancer therapy) is exaggerated to some degree," said Dr. Daniel M. Sosin, one of the report's authors. "But exactly how much is unknown." The Yale study looked at the records of 100 patients. It found that for the least sick category the six-month survival rate improved from 75 percent to 92 percent bet­ ween 1953 and 1977. For the most sick category the survival rate ap­ peared to have improved from 30 percent to 42 percent. However, the re-analysis using different statistical methods found no significant difference between those who developed the disease between 1953 to 1964 and those who developed it in 1977. Joann Schellenbach a spokeswoman for the American Cancer Society, said, "Statistics can often misrepresent success or failure when taken at face value. "I wouldn't say that there is no progress based on what this par­ ticular article said. This is a com­ plex picture* and there is no sim­ ple way to talk about it." Israel's 'pig law' debated- By United Press International JERUSALEM - Israel 's legislature has given initial ap­ proval to a bill banning the sale of pork and breeding of pigs, setting off a raucous debate about the "pig law." "If this law passes, then you won't be here," Yossi Sarid, of the liberal Ratz Party, taunted ex­ tremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, who wants to expel all Arabs from Israel. "You are a pig," Kahane shot back. Ron Cohen, of Ratz and a former war hero, glared at the American-born rabbi of the Kach Party, and shouted: "And you are the biggest pig. You are an animal." The bill, dubbed the "pig law" and given a first reading Wednes­ day by the Knesset, requires two more readings before it becomes law and outlaws the sale of pork or raising of pigs. Based on the religious proscrip­ tion for Jews against eating pork, the measure was lauded by Israel's religious parties, and described as imperative. How do we settle your auto claims so quickly?

LINCOLN " McHENRY J ' 2 B lock East Of Hansen Mar ine (815)344-5006 \ 195ft LUCKY HOME OWNERS WANTED DEKALB - Northern Illinois University's new president will move into his newly remodeled residence that has undergone nearly $35,000 in state-paid renovation -- an amount that is nearly half the original purchase price of the home. In addition to new carpeting, fur­ niture, paint and flooring, NIU President Clyde Wingfield will be us­ ing new bathroom fixtures -- in­ cluding a king-size bathtub. A university worker at the home Thursday said the tub is only 6 in­ ches longer than normal because it was the biggest NIU could find. The house was purchased in 1970 by the NIU Foundation for $65,721. The home on DeKalb's northeast side was purchased from then-NIU President Rhoten Smith, who was quoted at the time as saying he took a loss on the sale. . The university's Board of Regents bought the house from the founda­ tion in 1971 for the same price plus interest expenses, said NIU Founda­ tion Executive Director Richard Ubl. State Rep. John Countryman, R- De Kalb, was a frequent visitor to the home when Regents Chancellor William Monat was NIU President. Countryman said the home was in "excellent" condition. But Monat told a Springfield reporter the house needed new carpeting and other repairs when he moved' out last year. In addition to the $35,000 remodel­ ing cost, the university's student newspaper, The Northern Star, also reported Wingfield requested remodeling.

IL OUR 46th YEAR By United Press International WASHINGTON - Women con­ tributed more than 62 percent of the total growth of the labor force in the decade ending with 1984, with more of them getting work in non-traditional areas, the U.S. Department of Labor said Wednesday. The number of women working and looking fnr work rose from 37 million to 50 million between 1975 and 1984, according to a depart­ ment publication that documents women's employment progress over the past 10 years. "Whatever the reasons for this growth, it comes at a critical time. Steep competition in a global economy has challenged our na­ tion's capacity for efficient pro­ duction. Lenora Cole Alexander, director of the Women's Bureau, said by the end of the period. 54 percent of all women 16 years of age and over, and nearly 70 percent of all women in the 25-to-54 age bracket -- the prime working years -- were in the labor force.
