The poor will line up on Christmas morning. as they do nearly every morning. outside Mesa Bible Chapel, 1734 Orange Ave.. waiting for Brother Michael to hand them their dailr bread and some wilted vea- etables. Since it's Christmas, the 75-year- old missionary of sorts is hopina· to give the families more than their usual fare. Maybe even a turkey. But he is haunted by the Ghost-of· TU.Dk11Mq past, when he had only five ana 10.pound .bags of rice, and little more:, to offer the estimated 300 ·families who came to him Nov. 22. "Thanksaivins was pret~y bad. We had next to nothing to offer them," said ViJ'linia Murphy, a volunteer with Brother Michael's Christian Mission. Murphy said that donations have picked up substantially this Christmas Eve, but the mission's cup never runs over. No matter how much food is obtained, there are always more hun&rY people. Not transienu, but poo1' families with low-payinajobs or none at all. She also warned that the _poor will be at the chapel the day af\er Christmas and vinualJy every day thereafter.

Irvine firm opens its heart to the world's children By PHIL SNEIDERMAN OfhDMIJ .......... For many people, the Christmas season is a time to make donations to help less fortunate individuals. But for one Irvine business, charity 1s a year-round tradition. Adams-Streeter Civil Engineers makes donations each month to suppon needy children around the world through an Arizona-based or- ganization called Food for the Hungry. Jan Adams, one of the owners of the business, said he and his pan ner, Randy Streeter, decided several years ago to try sponsoring one needy child for every person employed by the finn. The company has 35 employees, but Adams and Streeter have passed their inmaJ goal. The company now sponsors 46 children. age 4 to 14, in countries such as India, Mexico, Guatemala, Boh v1a, Bangladesh. the Phillippines. Thailand. Peru, Kenya and El Salvador. The sponsorships cost $15 to $18 per month per child. The donations come from the company, not the emplo yees, Adams said. The firm regularly receives letters and pictu res from the )Oungsters 1t sponsors. Adams said he was reluctant to discuss the charity effon. saying he was doing so only because It might inspire others to be s1m1larly gen- erous. "I don'1 think we're doing this for recognition.'· he sn1d "We're onl~ doing this to help the kids. It's always been in my bean to help these kids.'' Wesley Bell, communications di- rector for Scottsdale-based Food for the Hungry, bad strong praise for Adaml-Strecter. .. They're unusual," he said in a telephone intecview. "But I think it's a great idea for a company. It gets the company together and helps morale. We're glad they're doing it." Bell said Food for the Hungry was founded in 1971 and began its child sponsorship program in 1979. He said children are frequently the ones who suffer most when insufficient food is available. But he said the sponsorship dona- tions are used for more than food. Clothing and education for children arc also pan of the aid provided by the group. Bell said the current outpouring of donations to help famine victims in Ethiopia is a shon-term relief effon. "Child sponsorship (over a number of years) 1s what's needed help the long-range problems," he said. Bell added. "I think the message today tSJUSt that Christmas 1s a umc for thinking aboul other people who arc less fonuna1c. This company (Adams-Streeter) says they ca re about hungry children " For co-owner Jan Adams, chanty doesn't end at the office. Adams, who lives in an unincorporated county area near Tustin. personally sponsors five add1t1onal needy children in other countnes. VERDICT UPSETS VICTIM'S FAMILY ... From Al ..

Friends and relattves of a Viet- namese refugee say they doubt he committed murder when he shot one of his college professors and the student says be 1s pfl\ying about his predicament from his Jail cell. "I am Buddhist, so I always pray to Buddha." Min h Van Lam said during an Orange County Jail interview. "But now I'm praying to Jesus Chris1 and anyone else I can think of." The newswpaper in1erview was published Sunday. The 21-year-old Lam 1s charged with the Oct. 13 murder of California State University at Fullenon physics professor Edward Lee Cooperman. CONTINUED STOR IES 48. The professor, one of the first Americans to -Jisit Hanoi after the Vietnam war. was shot to death in his sixth-floor office on the college cam- pus. Lam said the jail in Santa Ana, where he's being held in lieu of $200,000 bail, wasn't so bad because his cellmates have become friends and are helping him improve his English. Lam and his relatives escaped South Vietnam on a boat seven years ago to avoid a communist order to repon to a fann commune. Coopennan's family and fnends believe the professor was the v1ct1m of a political assasination. Lam's lawyer has said the young man 1sa staunch anti-communist. but the student has sworn the shooting was accidental. resulting from horsc- pla) with 3 gun 1n the professor's office Police ruled out political motives 1n the death, saying it was something "personal" between Lam and the professor. Diep Nguyen said he befnended Lam after meeting him 1n Cooperrnan's office a year ago Cooperman never discussed politics. Nguyen said. "He would help ui. with our studic\ and he was interested 10 us as students.'' Nguyen recalled "I doubt Lam even knew what < oopcrman\ polittcs were." PARENTS FACE HOLIDAY HEARTACHE ...

On Sunday, the tire jeopardized crews trying to remove 25 bodies and find the other two, prompting of- ficials to order the mine scaled.

Assist.ant Editor Francis P. Church answered her Jetter by writi~ this inspired assurance. "Yes, VirgjJJia, there is a Sant.a Claus. • It is our pleasure to share his timeless message with you today. Dear f.ditor: Jam eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, if you see it in the Sun. it's so. Please tell me the truth. Is -there a Santa Oaus? Virginia O'Hanlon Virginia, your little fri ends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism ofa skeptical age. They do not beHeve except what they see. They think that ootbinf can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. Al minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children ·s. are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intemgence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as cenainly as love and generosity and devotion exist and you know that they abound and give your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It wouJd be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the external world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your paper to hire men to watch in all th.e chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Oaus, but even 1f they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the w~rld are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not. But that's no proof they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise, but there is a veil coverin~ the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of aJl the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith. fancy, poetry. love, romance can push aside that cunain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Ah, Virginia, in all this world there 1s nothing else real and abiding. -No Santa Claus! Thank God! He li ves, and he lives forever. .... A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, 10 times 10,000 years fr om now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Melvin Belli, the negligence law- yer'> Of course, he's in our picture because he has come to represent the Third World victims of First World technol~y. In the instant case, as the lawyers hke to say, it is the victims of the Union Carbide disaster in India. God knows precisely how many people died, how many were injured, blinded or burned. God may still bt totahng things up, but already the lawyers have filed their claims. They arc seekj ng a mere $20 billion. Belli and other lawyers are re· ponedly already on the setne. thrust- ing consent fo rms written in both English and Hindi at the injure-0 and the families of the dead. This is ambulance chasing on a global scale, a new type of colonialism. If only the Bmish had settled for a third of the profits. the sun might never have set on their empire.

They arc out to battle the evil inational corpor- ations like, I am e, Union Carbide, for transferring -paying jobs out of 1he United S to Third-World countnes where meek employees work cheaply and no one has ever heard of the Environmental Protec- tion Agency. Some of these lawyers talk of the multinationals as if they were evil incarnate: "They are maiming and killing people all over the world." one of them said. There is something to this propos1t1 on. of course. But it would sound better if the speakers did not have a 30 percent interest in proving the truth of their argument. As a general rule, no revolution should work on a contingency basis. I suppose only a bleeding hean would think that the Third World should be spared the benefits of negligence law. We, after all. have laved with ll for so long that we hardly notice that it's the only form of socialism we countenance -and that's only because lawyers take their cut. Take an airplane crash, for instance. Almost anytime a plane goes down, you're bound to have negligence of some son. h would be cheaper JUSt to acknowledge that, reach an agreement and make the payments. But no siree. first the lawyers have to do their thing. They hike the payments, take their cut, and their clients are left w11h what they would have gotten without a lawyer -or less. It as the same in India. The lethal gas that smothered the c11y of Bhopal came from Union Carbide. The company admits that. The trick now 1s to see that the victims are com- pcn'!lted and that as much money as possible goes to them. To litigate an open-and-shut case and take 30 percent from l>COl>le-wtro have already been vic11miiet1 is merely another form of exploitation. It would just be ea ier for everyone to agree on what has to be done and do it. The irony for the Third World is that political independence did not end economic dependence. India for instance. suffers first from a disaster at the hands of an Arnencancompa_ny anti now will have justice done by Amencan lawyers in American courts. This is insult added 10 injury: An American corporation does dam-aae and then American lawyers come over to profit from it. All the fine rhetonc as1de the . ' motive ~ money. lt' the reason Union C.atbidc is in'fnda. lt'a the reason the streets of Bhopal arc now polluted with American ambulance chasers. The First World remain the ~u e m1dun1ofthcTh1rd.1 force that both creates •nd resolves the situation. So from the West. on winp of arcc<I. come the ncaJi.aencc lawyers. They will compfacatc the uo- romplicatcd. na.ht the wrona. ind take 30 pc~nt bade to Amcnca when they are fini bed. This is the movie you never saw.

The New York Giants bad been lhcrc before. It occurcd last Septem- ber when the Giants took on the Rams at Anaheim Stadium Back on SepL 30. the Rams beat the New. York Ga.ants 33-12. The Gia.nts could do no right, the Rams no wrong. There was talk of thts prne haunting the Gants -lhc talk coming mainly from the media. The Giants. on the other band, labeled their horrible effort a fluke. The Gi;mts were right. Unlike the Sept. 30 debacle. the Giants were not victims of an NFL record three safties. Unlike the Sept. 30 game, Giant receivers actually caught passes thrown directly at their numbers by quarterback Phil Simms. Not one goal post tipped over as it dtd Sept. 30. The only thing that tipptd over was the Rams. New York put its worst per- formance of the regular season out of its mind Sunday afternoon. The only thing on the Giants' mind was the NFL playoffs. The Giants had the right idea. New York defeated the Rams 16-13 and will meet San FranC1sco next week in San Francisco. The Rams wiU be home for Christmas ... and New Year's ...

Manitoba (AP) Neither Los Angeles Coach Pat Quinn nor Barry Long. coach of the Winnipeg Jets, saw anything wrong with heading into the Christmas break off a tic game. Quinn. in fact, treated the come- from-behind 4-4 National Hockey League deadlock as something of a victory in light o( a 6-2 loss to the same Jets a night earlier. "Our$UYS bounced back from what was bas1cal!Y a devastating setback last night," Quinn said after Sunday's game. "Our team ha been doing that all year. "As .a coach, sometimn you have to sit and take satisfaction in per- formance," he said. ''I asked them for performance and they aave it to me." The climax of Los Anaeles' bounce- back performance came in the third petiod, durina which the ~nas outsbot the Jets 16-3.

It was also good enough fora tnp to San Francisco for the next round of the playoffs, and that's just fine for the Giants, especially defensive lineman George Martin. "We're not in it (the playoffs) to prove anything about the New York Giants. We Just want to go to the Super Bowl.' he said. Martin was one of the field leaders of a Giants defense that made some key plays in the right spots. including cornerback Terry Kinard's touch- down-saving tackle of Eric Dickerson in the fourth Quaner with the Giants leadtng 16-10 and a sack of Jeff Kemp on fourth down to kill the Rams' final dnve with I :58 left. It was Martin, along with linebacker Lawrence Taylor. who got to Kemp and forced the fumble that ended the Rams' season. He said he and Taylor were looking to make the big play. "It was the biggest play of the season. If they complete the pass, it could have kept the dnve alive," Martin said. "I said to Lawrence TU meet you in the backfield,' and fortunately the prophecy came true." Martin was more than a little surprised that Kinard was able to catch Dickerson on his 24-yard romp ID the fourth quarter. "I didn't think anyone could catch Dickerson, but it Just shows you what a great athlete Terry is ... Martin said. Kinard, the man who may have preserved the Giants' season with the Slmm.9 Taylor tackle of Dickerson from behind. sa1d he thought he had a chance all along to catch Dickerson. "If I hadn't gotten him, he would have scored, he's too quick. Ifhe gets a step or two. you may not catch him. but I'm in good shape and I had good momentum and a good angle to cut him off." In add1t1on to stopping Dickerson on the play. the Giants did a good JOb of holding Dickerson. period. He got his usual 100-plus yards ( 107). but 11 took him 23 cam es. Last time the two teams played he gained 120. Meanwhile. the Giant offense. which had gamed eight yards rushing on its last tnp to Anaheim, went to a short-passmg. ball-control effensc. something they have not used all year, and made 11 work on the arm of quarterback Phil Simms (22-31 for I 79 )ards). "lt'sacredtt toourpla)crs that the) were able to adJUSt and maJce 11 work after only o ne week:· 1mms said ..

Reason was that, after the bcg1n n1ng of "Quick Decline" on canyons and h11ls1des and flatland!l that really were not ideal for homes. a number of enterprising orchardist!> pulled out the dying orange trees and instead planted Christmas trees.

MARGARET'S, England - tonehenge is 1n rums. and the Griswalds are to blame. Or so goes the plot of "National Lampoon's European Vacation,'' stamng Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angclo m a S 17 million film follow-up to the 1983 comedy hit, "NntJonaJ Lampoon's Vacation." In the sequel scheduled for release next summer, the inept Griswald family wreaks havoc with a mock-up of the Bronze Age monument Stone- henge -one of England's top toun.st anractjons, the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Piazza Navona in Rome. . "There's a pan of me that 1s v~ry amused by physical, destructive humor, especially when. it's not nasty- destructive," said director Am y Heckcrhng dunng a break m the last week of filming at West London's Twickenham Studios. "The GriswaJds accidentally knock over Stonehenge," she said. "They accidentaJly kill a dog in France. That stuff makes me laugh. I don't know if it's panicularly male or female. or !f it's1ust strangeness on my pan .• but It iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~ just got to me when I was reading the script," said the Bronx·bof!l Heck~rl ing. a 31 -year-old Amencan Film -70MM~ Institute graduate, whose credJts tn· elude "Fast Times At Ridgcmont High" and "Johnny Dangcrousl>:."

"That'~ more what this lund of movie is about." Producer Matty Simmons secs the film's humor rooted in human truths. "The best things we do and the best humor that hap~ns is that which is based on reality, ·said Simmons. who started the popular National L..am- poon humor magazine in l 970 and has parlayed its success into radio. television and films. "National Lampoon's Animal House," the first film to use the magazine's name in its title, has grossed over $200 million. and has been followed by "National Lam- poon's Class Reunion" and now the two "Vacation" films. "I think the reason 'Animal House' and ·v:scat1on' were so successful 1s that people related to them." said Simmons. "They satd. 'I did that.' or ·1 knew that guy when I was in college,' or 'I went on that tnp cros~ country.· "I think the same thing will happen here," he said. "The millions of Amenc.ans and people from all over the world who have traveled will sec the many things that they have done. only of course we take it that extra couple of yards to where it becomes hopefully hilarious." Chevy Chaae and Beverly D' Aneelo meet the Britiah "royal family" -played by (from left) Peter Hugo, Jeannette Charle• and Julie Woolridge) -in a acene from "National Lampoon'• European Va- cation," being filmed in London. In the film , the Griswalds go on a TV game show and win a two-week European tour that takes them to Germany. Italy, France and England. It also 1s a JOumey through each nation's idiosyncrasies. Simmons said the British are lampooned for their excessive nice- ness. the French for their arrogance and the Griswalds for their general misfortune. Designer takes off-Broadway fansouttotheold ballgame "The Griswalds arc very typically Amencan." Simmons said, "Except that instead of having three to four problems arise during a two-week tnp to Europe, they have many prob- lems." Chase said his charactc\7J!ncounters the Bnt1sh most frcqueil'tly in traffic accidents, often with Eric Idle from the Monty ~hon comedy team. "The British arc very polite, the French ... by and large are rude," said Chase. who. rose to fame with the "Saturday Night Live" TV series and the films. "foul Play" and "Cad- dyshack." "Throughout the film." he added. "the Gri swaJds represent to these countries a typical. middle-class American family, and whatever comes of that can be savored by European audiences as almost a doubhr.Jl,·back."

CONTINUED STORIES Jan Adams, one of \he owners of the business, said he and his partner, Randy Streeter, decided several years ago to try sponsoring one needy child for every person employed by the finn. The company has JS employees, but Adams and Streeter have passed their initial goal. The company now sponsors 46 children, age 4 to 14, in countries such as India, Me~ico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Bangladesh, the Phillippines, Thailand. Peru, Kenya and El Salvador. The sponsorships cost SIS to S 18 per month per child. The donations come from the company, not the employees. Adams said. The firm regularly receives letters and pictures from the youngsters it sponsors. Adams said he was reluctant to discuss the charity effort. saying he was doing so only because 1t might inspire others lo be s1m1larly gen- erous.

Bell said Food for the Hungry was founded in I 971 and began its child sponsorship program in 1979. He said children are frequently \he ones who suffer most when insufficient food is available. But he said the sponsorship dona- tions are used for more than food . Oothing and education for children are also part of the aid provided by the group. Bell said the current outpouring of donations to help famine victims in Ethiopia is a short-term relief effort. "Child sponsonh1p (over a number of years) is what's needed help the long-range problems." he said. Bell added, "I think the message today is just that Chnstmas 1s a time for think1ng about other people who arc Jess fortunate. This company (Adams-Streete r) says they care about hungry children."

From Al "His fnends were there the whole tame," said Rhoda Kelly. his molher. "There so man} the people at the hospital had to ask some of them to leave." The Cahfomt:i Highway Patrol blamed the Ferran dnver for the accident. Louis Czarnota. 41, caused the accident by turning 1n front of Kelly's oncoming motorcycle. according to the patrolman who made o ut the accident report. Because of the lack of 1mmed1ate witnesses and the fact that Kelly was intoxicated at the time of the acci- dent, officials in the South Orange County Court District Attorney's office did not file manslaughter charges. "Th.ere JU'it wa5n't s1gn1fican1 enough information to warrant man- slaughter charges." said Deput) Dis- trict Attorney James Branch. The case wound up before ( om- m1ss1oner Ronald Steelman as a routine traffic c1tat1on for failing to yield the nght of way Steelman recalls the Czarnot.a's attorney. Wilham Hulsy of Orange, telephone d him and inquired whether his client could enter a no cont°'t pica to the infraction, even though the accident had involved a death. Even though Czarnota could have avoided going to court by paying a fine and admitting guilt, a no contest plea is significant because 1t can't be u~d as an adm1ss1on of guilt in civil court. "I told him that would probably be OK." Steelman said. Bui the comm1ss1oner changed his mind in court Oct. 18. when Duon Wolcott. a South Laguna attorney representing Kelly's parents, ob- 1ected. "The nghts of the victim are important which is why I wouldn't accept the no contest plea," said Steelman. "The law recognizes those nghts are 1mponant." Steelman set a court date for No" 30 and instructed both sides to bnng forward their witness on that date But It never happened. Through a legal maneuver. Hulsy brought his client"s case before Mu- nicipal Court Judge John Griffin almost a full two weeks before the court trial set by Steelman.

CONTINUED STORIES 48. The professor, one of the first Americans to visit Hanoi after the Vietnam war, was shot to dcaih in his siAth-floor office on the college cam- pus. , Lam said the jail in Santa Ana. where he's being held in heu of $200.000 bail, wasn't so bad because his cellmates have become friends and are helping him improve his English. Lam and his relatives escaped South Vietnam on a boat seven years ago to avoid a communist order lo report to a farm commune. Cooperman's family and fncnds believe the professor was the victim of a political assasination. Lam's lawyer has said thr young man 1s a staunch anti-communist, but the student has sworn the shootfog was accidental, resulting from honc- plav with a gun sn the professor's offi.ce. Police ruJed out political motives in the death, saying 1t was something "personal" between Lam and the professor. Diep Nguyen said he befriended Lam after meeting him in Cooperman's office a year ago. Cooperman never discussed politics. Nguyen s~ud "He v.ould help us with our studies and he was interested 1n us a!> students." Nguyen recalled. "I doubt Lam even knew what Cooperman's politics were." PARENTS FACE HOLIDAY HEARTACHE ...

Laura Bradbury's stocking hung by anxious parents Families of missing kids across the nation facing a s pecial h eartache a t Chris tmas time By Tiie Auoc.lated Preu Patty Bradbury hunJ a Chnstmas stocking for her missing 3-year-old daughter Laura, and the act ofholiday cheer nearly broke her heart, her husband said. "'Thal was a breaking point," Mike Bradbury said from the family"s home in Huntington Beach. "That almost destroyed her." Laura vanished Oct. 18 during a family camping trip to Joshua Tree National Monument, in the Mojave Desert. Although San Bernardino County sheriffs officers say they stall get about 35 new leads each day, Laura's family hasn't seen her for more than two months. The holidays, which can be stressful for many, are extremely hard on families with missina children. "Patty did buy a Chrismas tree and she 4id decorate it," Bradbury said. Friends and neighbors have bought presents for Laura. "It's hard to cope with look.inf at presents with her name on them,' he said. "I haven't bought one yet. I just talk on the phone, talk to people about the search, and then I try to Sleep through the night. It's a slow- motion nightmare." Travis Bradbury, Laura's 8-year- old brother who feels responsible for her disappearance because he told her to leave him alone the night she vanished, has bouW1t presents for everyone in the family. That includes Laura and his 6-month-old sister Emily, who suffers from a heart defect. The Bradburys are not alone in their &Jief. laura is one of thousands of children stolen b.Y strangers every year.

Irvine firm. opens its heart to the world's children By PHIL SNEIDERMAN Of ... o.IJ,......., For many people, the Christmas SC8$0n is a time to make.donations to help less fortunate individuaJs. But for one Irvine business, charity is a year-round tradition. Adams-Streeter Civil Engineers makes donations each month to support needy children aroqnd the world through an Arizona-based or- ganization called Food for the Hungry. Jan Adams. one of the owners of the business. said he and his partner, Randy Streeter, dectded several years ago to try sponsonng one needy child for every person employed by the firm. The company has 35 employees, but Adams and Streeter have passed their initial goaJ. The company now sponsors 46 children, age 4 to 14, in countnes such as India. Mexico. Guatemala, Bolivia. Bangladesh. the Pbillippines, Thailand, Peru, Kenya and El Salvador. 'The spoosorshiP.S cost SIS to S 18 per month per child. The donations come from the company, not the employees, Adams said. The finn regularly receives letters and pictures from the youngsters it sponsors. Adams said he was reluctant to discuss the chanty effort, saying he was doing so onl> because it might anspsre o thers to be similarly gen- erous. "I don't thank we're doing th1c; for recognition," he !>aid. "We're only doing this to help the kids. It's always been an my heart to help 1hese kids." Wesley Bell. communicalions di- rector for Scottsdale-based Food for the Hungry. bad strong praise for Adams-Streeter. "They're unusual," he said in a telephone mterview. "But I think it's a great idea for a company. It gets the company together and helps morale. We're glad they're doing it." Bell.~id Food for the Hungry was founded m 1971 and began Its child sponsoribip program in 1979. He said children arc frequently the ones who suffer most when insufficient food is avajlable. But he said the sponsorship dona- tions are used for more than food. Oothing and education for children arc also part of the aid provided by the group. Bell said the current outpouring of donations to help famine victims in Ethiopia is a short-term relief effort. "Child sponsorship (over a number of years) 1s what's needed help the long-range problems," he said. Bell added, "I think the message today is just that Christmas is a time for thinking about other people who are less fortunate. This company (Adams-Streeter) says they care about hungry children." For co-owner Jan Adams. charity doesn't end at the office. Adams, who liv\!s lri an unincorporated county area near Tustin. personally sponsors five add1ttonal needy children tn other countries.

Police ruled out political motives in the death, saying it was something "personaJ" between Lam and the professor.
