He laced a maximum sentence of 300 years in prison and $103,000 in fines on the 59 counts of mail fraud, income tax fraud and racketeering. U.S. District Judge Charles Nor- gle ordered LeFevour to begin serv­ ing his sentence Jan. 2. LeFevour was automatically stripped of his position as presiding judge of the First Municipal District. LeFevour declined to make any comment before sentencing, saying that he plans to appeal the conviction. Assistant U.S. Attorney Candace Fabri asked for a stiff sentence, saying that LeFevour violated his public trust. "Richard LeFevour was a leader, a dynamic personality, but when 1$ channeled those same resources into his own personal profit, he vio­ lated the public trust. He was -a leader of corruption," Fabri said. LeFevour's wife, Virginia, asked for leniency, citing her husband's failing health. He has a chronic liv­ er problem. LeFevour was the third judge to be convicted of Greylord charges. John M. Murphy received a 10-year sentence and John J. Devine was sentenced to 15 years. Teachers go on strike, negotiate CHICAGO -- A Cook County cir­ cuit judge, the highest-ranking judge convicted in the Operation Greylord investigation of c o u r t r o o m corruption in the nation's largest court system, was sentenced Tues­ day to 12 years in prison despite emotional appeals from his wife. Cook County Circuit Judge Rich­ ard LeFevour, 54, was convicted last month of accepting thousands of dollars to fix court cases. He had $400,000 in income from unknown Shuttle • Continued from Page A 7* By Susan Kuczka United Press International Ryan White listens on a telephone connected to his suffers from AIDS, which he picked up during class at school Monday, as his mother, Jeanne, treatment for his hemophilia. School officials had looks on in Ryan's room at their home. White was the line hooked up; it allows Ryan to listen and not allowed to attend class this year because he speak during class. 'It stunk' Boy with AIDS attends class by phone KOKOMO, Ind. (UPI) - AIDS victim Ryan White, 13, gave a terse critique of the electronic link his school set up to send him instruction while keeping him away from classmates: "It stunk. It's no good." Officials at Western Middle School said the system worked fine on the first day of classes Monday. It did on their end. Ryan came through loud and clear, but the boy told interviewers the sound at his end of the speaker- telephone faded in and out. Jeanne White, Ryan's mother, was more tactful. "It's just one more thing he has to adapt to," she said, although listening to a teacher she also said at one point, "I can't understand her." "At least he did a page of math today," White said. Ryan has been segregated by order of Western School Corp. Superintendent J.O. Smith, who claims the school is not equipped to handle students with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. So on Monday, Ryan's suburban Kokomo bedroom became his seventh-grade classroom. Network television crews and numerous reporters converged on the home and the school, gathering comments from classmates, parents and officials. The school system's teachers and most parents agreed with Smith's decision to bar Ryan from the school. "I think they should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that my child is not going to be infected with this," said one parent, Porta Plummer. Classmates had divided opinions on whether Ryan should joint them in person, but most said the school should let him attend. State health officials have urged Smith to reconsider. They said Ryan, who contracted AIDS during treatment for hemophilia, could safely join his classmates if certain guidelines are followed and precautions are taken. Ryan, his mother and their lawyer are pursuing local appeals and are prepared to go to federal court if necessary for an order permitting the teenager to attend classes. U.S. District Judge James Noland in Indianapolis earlier this month said they must first exhaust adminis­ trative appeals within the educational system. Gorbachev consoles Samantha's family MOSCOW - Soviet leader Mik­ hail Gorbachev sent his c o n d o l e n c e s Tuesday to the mother of 13-year- old Samantha Smith, who won the hearts of "millions of Soviet chil­ dren" with her peace mission to Moscow two years ago. Samantha died Sunday night in the crash of a commuter airline landing at the Auburn-Lewiston air­ port in Maine. Her father, Arthur, and six other people were also killed. "Everyone in the Soviet Union who has known Samantha Smith will remember forever the image of the American girl who, like millions of Soviet young men and women, dreamt about peace, and about friendship between the peoples of the United States and the Soviet Union," Gorbachev said in a tele­ gram to her mother. Gorbachev's statement followed an outpouring of stories by govern­ ment newspapers, radio and televi­ sion about the girl who went to the Soviet Union in 1983 -- when she was 11 years old -- at the invitation of the late President Yuri Andropov. "The name of Samantha Smith will remain in the hearts of millions of Soviet children who dream that the sun will shine forever above their heads," the newspaper Kom- somolskaya Pravda said. She was invited to the Soviet Union after writing Andropov about her fears of a U.S.-Soviet nuclear war. For two weeks, the youngster toured the Soviet Union, becoming a symbol of international concern over the threat of nuclear holocaust. "A small person with a bold heart, in her 12 years she already understood what many grown Americans do not want to or cannot understand," said Komsomolska Pravda, the organ of the Commu­ nist youth organization. The newspaper said she recog­ nized that the average people of both the Soviet Union and the Unit­ ed States share the same wish for "clear skies over this planet." SAMANTHA SMITH By United Press International Teachers went on strike in two Michigan school districts Tuesday, idling nearly 35,000 students, as ne­ gotiations continued in Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities nation­ wide in an effort to open schools on time this year. Flint, Mich., teachers went on strike after overnight talks faUed, forcing cancellation of classes that were to begin Tuesday for 30,200 pupils. During a meeting Monday night, the teachers voted 661-to-184 in favor of a walkout. Unresolved issues included wages and how handicapped students are counted in elementary classrooms. More talks were scheduled for Wednesday. North of Flint, 189 teachers in the Beecher school district also went on strike Tuesday, idling an estimated 4,000 students. Their union is de­ manding higher pay as part of a current three-year contract, which expires in 1986. The Detroit School District settled its contract Monday, averting a strike by 10,500 of its full-time teachers. Teachers and educational support personnel in at least 177 districts remain without contract settle­ ments as school openings near, the Michigan Education Association re­ ported Monday." In Girard, Ohio, a strike by about 100 teachers entered its second day, Idling about 2,000 students at four grade schools. The high school re­ mained open with substitute teach­ ers. Both sides were waiting to hear from federal mediator on when ne­ gotiations will resume on the main issue of wages. The Chicago Teachers Union and their, school board were to meet again Tuesday and parties said the main issue preventing a settlement remains the teachers' desire for a two-year contract. Negotiators are hoping to avert a strike set for Sept. 3 that would idle about 431,000 students. It would be the Chicago public schools third teachers' walkout in as many years. The superintendent of 200,000-stu- dent PhUadelphia Public Schools said she is "optimistic" a contract agreement wUl be reached with the city teacher's union in time to avert a threatened strike next Monday. "That cloud is black!" Engle yelled as the shuttle knifed through a he? ry r'oud deck just over the launc. pa; Thirty-five minutes af­ ter laiceoft, heavy rain showers rolled in, obscuring the launch pad from view. In contrast to the last shuttle tice, astronauts are trained in a variety of repair techniques, includ­ ing the repair of broken sunshields during spacewalks if conditions warrant. Two astronauts, James "Ox" van Hoften and William Fisher, already a r e p l a n n i n g t o c o n d u c t a spacewalk near the end of the week- long mission to repair a broken Syn- com communications satellite al­ ready in orbit. Discovery's other crew members are John "Mike" Lounge and co-pilot Richard Covey. While the Syncom repair is the highlight of the flight, the primary goal is the launch of Aussat and two communications satellites owned by the American Satellite Co. and Hughes Communications Inc. Discovery's takeoff, following frustrating back-to-back weekend delays, came just minutes before a fast-moving rain storm swept over the shuttleport. Two hours later, the crew report­ ed the sun shield around Aussat had hung up in the open position, appar­ ently after hitting a television cam­ era on the shuttle's 50-foot-long ro­ bot arm. "The closing portion of the port side of the sun shield is deformed and it is obviously hung up on the aft part of the omni," Lounge reported. Discovery's flawless liftoff, which came during a break in an advanc­ ing storm system, was a gratifying moment for launch control teams. But it was touch and go up until the last minute with marginal weather conditions. If You Fail To Receive Your McHenry Plaindealer Before 7:00 a.m. • Please Call Our Circulation Dept.

Plaindealer Circulation Dept. 385-0178 launch July 29 when one of Chal­ lenger's three main engines shut down prematurely, it was smooth sailing for Discovery today with no problems reported by the flight crew. Launch director Robert Sieck said while the weather at launch time was "obviously marginal," it was acceptable for blastoff. "I would say the attitude of the launch team and management was obviously to get this thing off the ground but we were not going to take any risks," Sleek said. The crew's takeoff was thwarted at the last minute Saturday by sud­ den rainshowers at launch time and on Sunday when a $1.2 million flight computer, one of five on board, broke down. The computer was replaced and checked out Monday but the launch delays cost NASA about $785,000 in fuel and overtime, a spokesman said. The clear highlight of Discovery's mission is the planned spacewalk repair of an $85 million Syncom satellite marooned in a useless orbit since launch from Discovery in April. The Syncom repair scenario calls for van Hoften and Fisher to at­ tempt a seven-hour repair job in the shuttle's payload bay. Van Hoften, who weighs 200 pounds and is 6-feet, 4-inches tall, must manually wrestle the slowly spinning 15,200-pound Syncom to a standstill. Then Fisher will install electronic gear to bypass the satellite's faulty automatic timer so ground control­ lers can fire the craft's ICBM-type solid rocket motor in October to send it on the way to the proper orbital outpost 22,300 miles above the equator.
