Nation Bed rest little good for pregnant women nearly one in five pregnant women NEW YORK Doctors tell to stay in bed for a week or more, but a study has found little evidence this prescription does any good. Bed rest disrupts women's lives and costs more than $1 billion a year in lost wages, lost productivity around the home and hospital costs, the study said.

It may also present its own medical risks, such as blood clots, researchers said. Prescribed for a variety of conditions, bed rest is usually done at home and can last several months. "In nearly every case when it's been studied, there is no proof of benefit," said Dr. Robert Goldenberg, a professor of obstetrics a and gynecology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He and his co-authors conclude in the July issue of the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology that doctors should cut down sharply on ordering bed rest and that further studies should be done to see if it really helps.

Glover ATLANTA Services for World IRA gunmen shoot four in police car BELFAST, Northern Ireland Gunmen believed to be with the Irish Republican Army shot at an unmarked police car Friday, wounding three officers and a proIRA politician they were escorting. A passing motorist also was wounded in cross-fire, but more than 50 Scottish and Dutch tourists escaped unharmed. The ambush occurred on the main road near Ballygawley, about 60 miles west of Belfast. Police were driving Pat Trainor, an elected member of the IRAsupporting Sinn Fein Party, to Belfast for questioning about terrorist when the gunmen struck, a police spokesman said. Trainor was shot in the hand.

The wounds sustained by the three police officers were not life-threatening, police said. Luxembourg premier named head of EU BRUSSELS, Belgium European Union leaders ended a stalemate over a new chief executive Friday by tapping littleknown Premier Jacques Santer of Luxembourg for the job. The 12 leaders unanimously endorsed Santer, 57, a compromise candidate, after Britain threw the group into turmoil last month by unexpectedly vetoing a previous candidate, Belgian Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene. Santer succeeds France's Jacques Delors, who steps down in January after 10 years as president of the EU executive agency, the European Commission. The bureaucracy runs the EU's daily affairs.

As chief executive, Santer will become one of Europe's top political figures, wielding much influence over the pace and direction of integration during the next five years. Compiled from wire reports. Talks From Page 1A border south of the Dead Sea on Monday. Jordan television showed pictures of workers setting up the tent and prefabricated buildings. Christopher, Peres and Jordanian Prime Minister Abdul Salam Majali are to meet in Jordan on Wednesday to prepare for the summit.

"BASICALLY, we are talking about an end to the state of war, and the beginning of a state of peace, about economic development and the ways to reach these objectives," Peres said on Israel army radio. Israel and Jordan had agreed on an agenda for negotiations Sept. 14, a day after Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization signed their outline accord for Palestinian self-rule. However, Hussein delayed a final agreement, hoping to move in step with the Syrians. Despite Clinton summit with Assad in Geneva early this year, the IsraeliSyrian talks stalled.

The key issue is the extent of Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed. Rabin has said he was ready for significant territorial compromise, but the Syrians want all the Golan back. Assad has rejected Israeli requests for a meeting with Rabin or for a secret back channel to get the talks moving.

Aho, who returns to Cuba on Monday, brought his call for aid Friday night to the graduates of the Southern Institute for Appropriate Technology near Wedowee.

The center is a training ground for missionaries who want to bring water pumps, in addition to baptisms, to developing countries. through interpreter Kathy Corson Bryson of Wadley that he doesn't mind sharing his story with yet another reporter. He's made speaking trips to the United States almost every year since 1983. Last year he met with congressmen in Washington, D.C., to discuss the difficulty imposed on the Cuban people through a U.S. embargo on everything from medicine to faxes.

The difficulties brought by the embargo are getting worse and are worthy of comment, Aho said, but this trip is more religious than political. His story, though, makes it clear how the two realms intermingle. After Cuba became a MarxistLeninist state in 1961, 61 of the 70 Cuban Methodist preachers left the country, along with half of their 5,000 congregants. Young Aho was one of nine pastors who shrugged off advice to leave and the warning that prison was inevitable. The church Aho pastored had a large number of children, which to the government meant "future Marxists" not to be contaminated with Christianity.

After landing in prison, Aho came to a realization already written down for him: someone wants to follow the Lord, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow he said. "I understood that Cuba was the place for me, and not in Miami." IN PRISON he began to preach to the other inmates, many of whom had been ready to end it all. They spent long days harvesting sugar cane under the sweltering sun, but when the sun went down Aho led them in worship. So good was' prisoner morale when Aho had completed his BEFORE delivering his commencement address, Aho said sentence that the prison's warden offered him a thinly disguised chaplaincy, complete with his own home and car. But jail didn't seem like where he belonged anymore.

After graduation and ordination, he returned to pastoring and started a family. While his two children began to reap the early benefits of socialism free schools and health care they were also experiencing the down side. Christians could not study psychology or psychiatry, they couldn't be leaders in the factories and they couldn't worship outside the walls of existing churches. Those were among the grievAho brought to Castro's ances. attention in 1990 during a meeting of 75 church representatives from the country's 50 denominations.

Since then, all of the obstacles he listed have been done away with, one by one. "(Castro) said, well, you're right. We have to change recalled Aho, who believes he was diplomatic in saying, "Well, you haven't thrown us to the lions at least." CASTRO'S hard line against Christianity already had softened somewhat in 1984, Aho said, when the Rev. Jesse Jackson visited the country and spoke in Aho's church. Castro was in the audience the first time he had ever been seen in a church and the event was broadcast nationwide.

Aho would like to see the Christian message reach television consistently. Cubans already are visiting the United States to learn video technology for when the time comes, he said. federal agents posing as drug dealers. Witter, 45, could get up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine at sentencing Sept. 30.

The bill, approved by an 84-9 vote, provides $13.7 billion for worldwide aid programs in the fiscal year starting in October.
