Wilson, retired Louisville-area kindergarten supervisor and principal, died Saturday at Humana Hospital-Audubon. She was 79.

Thaw in education freeze sought Continued from Page 1 sponsor Wilkinson's program in the special session. "I don't even think he has a sponsor of the bill (outlining the bonuses and benchmark schools)," Allen said later. Senate Majority Leader Joe Wright, D-Harned, sponsored the administration's education bill in the 1988 session, when it failed. But Wright said he wants the bills intro-; duced in the House this time.

The governor does have legisla-'. tive supporters in that body law-; makers like Rep. Jerry Bronger, D-. Louisville; Rep. Jerry Lundergan, D-; Lexington; and House Majority Leader Greg Stumbo, D-Prestons-' burg.

Allen and some other legislators predict Wilkinson's proposal will fail again unless things change. Rep. Joe Barrows, D-Versailles, the governor might "stuff it down our throats" but see the pro-" gram die from lack of support later. Perhaps nothing will come from the special session unless a consensus is reached beforehand, several legislators and education leaders said. Sexton, of the Prichard commit-' tee, questioned whether the session will even occur in January.

A delay might provide time for the governor and legislators to ar-; rive at common goals, Rep. Joe Clarke, D-Danville, and others said. I "If they're not willing to get together, I don't see any point in hav- ing the session in January," said Joe Joan D.

Tuesday. Associated Press TOKYO Former Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Mikl, who sought to reform the governing party's economic policies after Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka resigned amid a financial scandal, died today. A family member said Miki, who suffered a stroke in June 1986, died at a Tokyo hospital. He was 81. Miki served in Japan's House of Representatives for 51 consecutive years beginning in 1937, and as prime minister from 1974 to 1976.

Miki studied at the University of California at Berkeley and at Japan's private Meijl University. Miki spoke out against the possibility of war with the United States in 1938 at a time when militarists tried to suppress such sentiments. In the 1970s, as leader of a small faction in the governing Liberal Democratic Party, he was a compromise choice for party president after Tanaka resigned in 1974 over financial scandals and public criticism of the party's "money politics." Miki was regarded as the Liberal Democratic Party's sternest foe of Tanaka-style politics. As prime minister, Miki vowed to end suspicions of vote-buying and to reform business through tougher anti-monopoly regulations. But some party members accused him of violating mainstream party thinking, and he once was called "the man closest to the opposition camp" by Yasuhiro Nakasone, a political rival who later became prime minister.

Crescent ahead of expectations Continued from Page 1 cal student Ken Cohen takes another approach: "My parents just bring me my food." Attracting businesses that will make the Crescent Centre a self-contained community is the objective of retail leasing. As of now, First National Bank plans a branch there, Nu Yale Cleaners is on its way and VIP Protocol plans to offer a concierge service, said Janis Man-gini, a leasing agent with the Cush-man and Wakefield real-estate firm. The concierge will perform errands, such as picking up theater tickets and taking care of car repairs for tenants, she said. Crescent Centre has attracted some of Louisville's oldest and newest residents, including at least six Presbyterians who moved to town with the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). "I chose to live there because it would be good to live in an area where there's a downtown renaissance going on," said Mary Jean McFadyn, an associate executive with the church.

"I thought I could contribute to that." Victor Sholis, retired president of WHAS, moved to the Crescent so he could be close to friends who work downtown: "I can see the back end of the WHAS building from my balcony." But Charles and Mary Britt have probably made the biggest commitment to downtown living of all the Crescent Centre's tenants: They left their home on Barret Avenue, in which Charles Britt had lived for 60 years. "It took a while to get used to it," he said. "We hadn't moved since we got married 53 years ago. But we got to where we couldn't handle the house any more." The Britts like the Crescent's location, security and indoor parking. "If it's raining, you don't get wet" Fontaine Ferry fun is recalled Continued from Page 1 history," Osborne said.

"It's a shame it can't be brought back." He showed his son, Stephen, 7, a picture of Sam and Sue, the guffawing mannequins that stood for decades at the entrance of Hilarity Hall. "They sat there, and they laughed their heads off," Osborne told the boy. "That was before your time."

State 'needs' moderate quakes STAI-F PHOIU BY LAHHY SPIIZtR Gormley, executive secretary of the Kentucky Association of School Superintendents. As the governor and legislators sit in separate corners, various education groups have met in hopes of reaching some consensus among themselves. The Prichard committee is planning a public statement tomorrow to "encourage some healing and forward movement," Sexton said.

A united stand from education groups might encourage movement, Gormley said. But, he pointed out, it will be up to elected officials to act. Those interested have three choices, Gormley said: "wait till this governor's gone," encourage the legislature and governor to compromise, or work around the governor in hopes the legislature can override his veto. Compromise may be "a long shot," he said, but the best option. Foster described the current lull as a time when the legislature and administration can explore possibilities.

Foster has been meeting with local school superintendents to study the state's system of finance in an attempt to address Issues raised in the court case. He said he does not know if that will be part of the special session. "Everbody's so impatient," Foster said. "We are literally standing still, and our boys and girls can't afford it," Gormley said. and attempts are being made to teach students how to react when an earthquake strikes.

"Our aim Is through those children to get into the families in the homes and change the attitudes of people about preparing for that event," Armstrong said. "I think we're also making some approaches that are probably going to work in terms of altering building codes." This year, a lesson plan is being offered in a kit for all teachers interested in teaching earthquake-preparedness to students. In addition, the state is distributing a family earthquake-safety pamphlet through county disaster and emergency units, with simple tips for avoiding injury. "People get hurt in earthquakes when something falls on them, or when they run outside," Armstrong said. "If you're inside, stay inside.

If you're outside, stay outside." Dr. Ron Street, a seismologist at the University of Kentucky, suggests that private citizens, especially in the region of Kentucky from Eddy-ville and Princeton westward, should consider earthquake insurance, which he says he has on his home in Lexington. Earthquake riders are more costly in Western Kentucky, but some lending institutions there are requiring them now on certain loans. Street said. Not all earthquake activity in Kentucky is confined to the west, however.

Since 1980, there has been some puzzling seismic activity in Bath and Fleming counties, where quakes in 1980 and in September 1988 were felt for hundreds of miles. Late last week. Street disclosed that UK soon will install a seismic station near Flemingsburg in Fleming County to more closely monitor activity in the region. Readers desiring more information or materials regarding earthquake preparedness may call or write their county direr'or cf Disaster and Emergency Services.

Such a quake would topple some chimneys and crack masonry as far from the epicenter as Nashville, Indianapolis and St Louis, and almost as far as Little Rock, and Jackson, Miss. Plaster could fall as far away as Lexington, and trees would sway and loose objects overturn as far away as Chicago and Kansas City, and almost as far as Fort Wayne, Ind. Weber says that a quake of 6 to 6.5 on the Richter scale might cause some shattering of windows and cracking in higher-risk buildings along the flood plain of the Ohio River in Louisville, but he doubts that such a quake would result in major destruction. A quake of 7.6 could cause major damage, he said. He said such a quake would be less likely to affect newer buildings because "most of the buildings that were built since the mid-'70s, espe- cially if they had any federal or state funding have been built to meet seismic codes." "In some ways, an earthquake of the magnitude possible here could, although confined to a smaller area nearly equal the devastation of some kind of nuclear laydown," said Donald L.

Armstrong, public-: information officer for Kentucky Disaster and Emergency Services. He worries that if a major a quake occurred during school hours, there might be greater potential for casualties, especially in some poorly constructed schools. Yet Armstrong notes that Kentucky has been trying to educate its citizens to the dangers of an earthquake and to prepare its emergency personnel for mobilization in such a catastrophe. Kentucky and California are the only two states in the country with full-time earthquake 'coordinators..
