eg. sy e' 7 17 -10 Alexandria Pineville, Tuesday, September 27, 1983 Ruth Carter Stapleton Dies ff 'A 'il uled for 2 p.m. Wednesday at Lafayette Memorial Park in Fayetteville. The family asked contributions be made to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers. A spokesman for former President Carter said Monday in Atlanta Mrs.
Stapleton and Carter "were very close" and "spoke often on the phone together." The: family declined further comment-; Mrs. Stapleton, nicknamed' "Boopy Doop" by the Carter fami-: ly, bore a strong resemblance to her brother, Jimmy. Like other members of the family, she was not. always fond of the role of presidential relative and protested; she had her own life to live. "I can't stand the labels that are forced on me by the press," she said shortly before the 1980 elections.
"I'm not in any category. I'm not a Baptist a right-winger or a liberal I'm a little of this and a little of that" Her role as an evangelist; brought her international attention during her brother's president cy, as did her efforts to convert' Hustler magazine publisher Larry' Flynt to Christianity. Upon learning of her death Flynt described Mrs. Stapleton as "the only Christ-like person I have ever met or known in my life." "She is the only person who stood by me through my trials and: tribulations in life and the person who only loved and never found it necessary to condemn mef. for what I did," Flynt said.

Belgium Mourns King BRUSSELS, Belgium (UPI) -Belgium mourned Monday for King Leopold, whose stormy 17-year reign ended in 1951 after riots protesting his wartime meeting with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Leopold, who was 81, died Sunday of heart failure, a few hours HOPE MILLS, N.C.
(UPI) -Ruth Carter Stapleton, the evangelist sister of former President Jimmy Carter who spent the last years of her life practicing the faith healing she preached, died Monday of cancer. She was 54. Mrs. Stapleton died at 11:30 a.m. EDT at her home in Hope Mills, near Fayetteville, said a spokesman for Rogers and Breece Funeral Home.
Mrs. Stapleton, whose cancer of the pancreas was diagnosed in February, had defied the advice of physicians and her family in undergoing unconventional cancer treatment in the Bahamas. Mrs. Stapleton said after more than two decades of telling others about her faith in God for healing it was the only course she could take. The treatment included a vegetarian diet exercise and multiple daily injections of blood serum.
"Inner healing is a healing of the emotions, the attitudes within," she said in an interview. "The purpose is to change any negative attitude into a positive one, to remove any negative hang-up such as fear or a feeling of inferiority. "Getting to the root of what causes the feelings of guilt or rejection and dealing with them is the healing." Mrs. Stapleton was at Duke Medical Center, where her son Scott is a doctor, earlier this month for what officials said was a routine checkup. She was discharged Sept.

Lannan, who died Sunday in his Manhattan apartment, also had a home in Palm Beach, where he stored many pieces of his art collection. Much of the collection, ranging from Chinese artifacts to modern American sculpture, is exhibited in the museum Lannan founded near his Florida home, called the New Museum. A self-made millionaire during the Depression and World War II, Lannan retired as a director of ITT last May after serving the company for 36 years. Lannan was born in Sterling, 111., the son of a casket maker, and started his career at age 13 as a bottle washer for a drug company. At 19, Lannan began selling real estate bonds and during the Depression bought an interest in the Chicago brokerage firm of Knee-land and Company.
Lannan made his fortune by purchasing control of small but troubled companies with sound assets, turning them into money makers and then reselling them. Retired General Dies PITTSFIELD, N.H. (UPI) -Retired Brig. Gen. Harrison R.

9. The Christian Democrat-Lib-eral government issued a procla-C mation praising Leopold "for the high conception of his functions and the self-denial he displayed throughout a life marked by ordeals." Leopold abdicated in favor of his elder son Baudouin in 1951 to appease a country that was deeply split over his wartime attitude. His opponents reproached him for his refusal to follow his government into exile when he surrendered his army 18 days after the German invasion in May 1940. Leopold countered that as commander in chief he had to stay with his soldiers as a prisoner of war. Reg.

It takes time to get together organizations and coalitions and money." Part of his task, he said, is to make political leaders less leery of him: "We don't want them to think we're riding roughshod over them. It's best that they adopt us than we co-opt them." The black leader ruled out any thought that he might run as an independent rather than as a contender in the Democratic primaries. "It would be inadvisable," he said of an independent candidacy. "It would take away votes from the Democrats and help elect Ronald Reagan." He bridled at a suggestion his own Democratic candidacy would be divisive. "What makes me divisive?" he asked.
"There's six or seven candidates. Polls show me ahead of five of them running third." Jackson indicated he would spend the next few weeks consulting with such key advisers as Mayor Richard Hatcher of Gary, Ind. Hatcher is widely spoken of as the man Jackson hopes can put together the "means and machinery" for a candidacy. He, too, was replaced by a temporary substitute in a PUSH leadership position Monday. On the television broadcast, Jackson gave Hatcher's name and address for potential donors and supporters to contact CHICAGO (UPI) The Rev.
Jesse Jackson took a leave of absence Monday from leadership of his civil rights organization, Operation PUSH, to decide whether the timing and finances are right for him to run for president. He said his answer will come sometime in the first two or three weeks of October. The board of directors named Thomas Todd, a longtime Jackson ally, to fill in for him as acting national president of People United to Save Humanity. Before he went before the board, Jackson appeared on CBS-TV's Phil Donahue Show and gave every indication he is a candidate without directly saying so. "Timing is almost everything," he stressed.
"We've raised the remote and ridiculous almost to reality. Organization and money it's the key thing at this point. "There has been tremendous enthusiam among the masses. Now we must think of machinery and money." Jackson has been engaged in a summer of frenetic campaign-like activity which has taken him across the United States and to Europe. He has been spurred along the way by frequent chants of, "Run, Jesse, run." Of this, Jackson said: "It has taken a considerable amount of time for us to gauge and educate the pub PLUS Additional 15 Off All Accessories (At Tim Of Camera Purchaia) rVT Ooen Mon IhiJlftu UTTICnCBSaS IMIIWrthurDr.
