LOS ANGELES (AP) Oliver Stone's searing Vietnam War drama "Platoon" won four Oscars including best film Monday, while Paul Newman finally won the best actor prize for "The Color of Money" and deaf newcomer Marlee Matlin was named best actress for "Children of a Lesser God." "I'm thrilled," seven-time nominee Newman said from his Connecticut home upon learning he had won for his role as an aging pool shark. "I'm on a roll now and maybe now I can get a job." Matlin, the first deaf performer ever to win an Oscar, played a wordless cleaning woman who conquers her rage with the help of a sympathetic teacher. Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters," a comedy about affluent Manhattan neurotics, and "A Room With a View," a comedy of manners set in tum-of-the-century England and Italy, each won three Oscars, as no one film dominated the nationally televised 59th annual Academy Awards.
"Hannah" captured a screenplay award for Allen and supporting acting honors for Dianne Wiest and Michael Caine, while "Room" won for costume design, art direction and for Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Stone was named best director for "Platoon," which depicts the LOS ANGELES (AP) -Here Is a complete list of winners at Monday night's 59th annual Academy Awards: 1.

DOCUMENTARY war's brutalizing effects on U.S. infantrymen. The film, which all the major Hollywood studios refused to make because of its stark subject matter, also picked up Oscars for best sound and film editing. Newman had been the sentimental favorite to finally win the top acting award for the role of Fast Eddie Felson In the sequel to his 1961 "The Hustler." His Oscar was presented by two-time winner and former Academy president Bette Davis, who said Newman's award was long overdue. Matlin delivered her speech in sign language, thanking "all those special people on 'Children of a Lesser God'" with particular praise for presenter and co-star William Hurt "for his support and love in this film." A romance between the co-stars developed during filming.
"Gee, this isn't like I imagined it would be in the bathtub," said the exuberant Kansas City-bom Wiest as she collected her first Oscar from her first nomination. Wiest played the would-be actress sister Holly, while Caine, who was not present to accept his first award, played a philandering husband. Steven Spielberg, director of "Jaws," "E.T." and other blockbusters, received a standing ovation from the audience as he stepped up to accept the Irving Thalberg award for contributions to the industry. "I'm resisting like crazy using Sally Field's line of two years ago," said Spielberg, whose "The Color Purple" was rejected by voters last year in all 11 categories in which it was nominated. Field, in claiming an acting Oscar for "Places in the Heart" in 1985, gushed by way of thanks: "You LIKE met" Another special Oscar went to actor Ralph Bellamy, who also brought the crowd to its feet in tribute to his long and distinguished career.
Best song of the year was "Take My Breath Away" from the box-office smash "Top Gun" while a Dutch movie, "The Assault," was named best foreign film. "Aliens" a sci-fi sequel about monsters, in outer space, won awards for sound effects editing and visual effects, while "The Fly" was cited for best makeup. Cinema-tographer Chris Menges was honored for his work on "The Mission" and jazz musician Herbie Hanco*ck won the best original score Oscar for Midnight." There was a tie for best documentary, with both "Artie Shaw: Time is All You've Got" and "Down and Out in America" taking home Oscars. yx CIA got good deal on Iran arms WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon gave the CIA a $2.1 million price break on anti-tank missiles that were ultimately sold to Iran, congressional investigators said in a report released Monday. However, the audit found no apparent efforts to Intentionally underprice the weapons to create a slush fund that could be used to aid the Nicaraguan Contra rebels.
The General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, said the Army used the wrong price in computing its costs for a batch of missiles which had to be downgraded to meet the CIA's specifications. North, Poindexter getting donations WASHINGTON (AP) Former classmates and colleagues of Lt. Col. Oliver North and Rear Adm. John Poindexter said Monday they're doing well In collecting money for the legal defense of their two embattled friends.
Friends of North, the Marine fired from the White House National Security Council staff, say they've received $65,000 in unsolicited contributions. Allies study short-range missiles WASHINGTON (AP) The Reagan administration, spurred by allied fears, has shelved active efforts to eliminate U.S. and Soviet 300- to 600-mile range nuclear missiles in Europe and is weighing plans to match Soviet levels of such weaponry, a senior administration official said Monday. The key questions remaining are how many missiles both sides will keep and how the West meets the Soviet strength: with re-built older rockets or a new generation of weapons, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "There are two ways you can get equality; one is conversion and the other is new systems and the alliance hasn't decided how," the official said.
Dollar's plunge scares world markets NEW YORK (AP) A historic plunge in the dollar's value put a scare into bull markets around the world Monday as investors worried about an unrestrained decline in the U.S. currency and the outside chance of a trade war. The prices of stocks and bonds plunged in Tokyo, London and New York in reaction to the dollar's fall. The U.S. currency hit its lowest point against the Japanese yen since modern exchange rates were established in the late 1940s.
Traders said they were worried in part by President Reagan's plan to impose prohibitive tariffs on up to $300 million worth of Japanese electronic goods to force Japanese Into compliance with a trade agreement on computer chips. Pakistanis shoot down Afghan jet ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) Two Pakistani jets shot down an Afghan warplane Monday over a mountainous area of Pakistan where Afghan bombing raids killed scores of people in the past week, officials reported. Pakistani officials reached at the border said the aircraft exploded in a huge flash of flame and no one was seen bailing out before it slammed into the mountains. "It was hit by a missile, then it exploded," one observer told The Associated Press by telephone. A Defense Ministry statement announcing the destruction of the Soviet-built jet said any future intruders also would be shot down.
A top military official said privately that Pakistan's patience was exhausted and it was striking back because of Afghan air raids that took at least 152 lives since last Monday. Carter to report to Shultz on Mideast WASHINGTON (AP) Former President Jimmy Carter will report to Secretary of State George P. Shultz on his five-nation Middle East trip Friday as the Reagan administration steps up its diplomacy in the region. Carter held nine hours of talks with Syrian President Hafez Assad, with whom the administration is barely in touch, and held talks also in Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Algeria. Crowd stones poisoned-oil defendants MADRID, Spain (AP) An angry crowd threw stones Monday at defendants emerging from the opening session of the trial in the poison cooking oil case which killed at least 584 people six years ago.
Prosecutors say the 38 defendants should serve thousands of years in jail and pay millions of dollars in fines for selling the toxic imitation olive oil. Thousands of people, many related to victims, gathered outside the exhibition hall in a park on the outskirts of Madrid, where authorities created a makeshift courtroom. The trial, where charges include homicide and fraud, is expected to last about six months. CIA employee killed in El Salvador WASHINGTON (AP) An employee of the Central Intelligence Agency died last week when a Salvadoran military helicopter crashed in that Central American country, the State Department said Monday. The State Department and CIA both refused to release the identity of the American victim, even though both agencies said that next-of-kin had been notified.
The Quincy, Patriot Ledger reported Monday, however, that a former area resident named Richard D. Krobock died last week in a helicopter crash in El Salvador.

Ralph largest cities and metropolitan areas was conducted by The Partnership for the Homeless, an interfaith group that coordinates shelter programs in New York. A similar report by the organization in 1986 said substantial federal cutbacks and a lack of planning by state and local governments could lead to a greater crisis in homelessness than the nation experienced in recent years. In this year's survey, the group said, "the federal administration's role in addressing homelessness in America this winter can perhaps best be characterized as having deteriorated from the merely dismal to the utterly abysmal, slipping from a position of indifferent neglect to one of active insensitivity." "In our survey last year, we noted planned 100 B-1B bombers have already been delivered, the statement said. Aspin and Stratton said that "apart from the electronic counter-measures package, we believe that the odds are good that problems can be solved though when and at what cost remain open." "I think that it is going to cost $3 billion and four years to fix," Aspin said. "The biggest problem confronting the B-1B is not its weight growth, its fuel leaks, or its uncertain electronic countermeasures," Aspin and Stratton said.
"The greatest problem is the Air Force itself, which exerts more effort to obscure the B-l's problems than to correct them.

David Durenberger disclosed classified information to two Jewish groups he spoke to on March 15 in Florida, congressional sources said Monday. Durenberger, who said he had not yet been contacted by the ethics panel, said he planned to call committee chairman Sen.
Howell Heflin, to ask about the nature of the investigation. Some members of the Senate were said to be angered by Durenberger's reported disclosure to the groups that then-CIA Director William J. Casey in 1982 had "changed the rules" under which the two allies did not spy on each other by recruiting an Israeli military officer to spy on Israel for the United States. Southern judge considered for FBI job WASHINGTON (AP) A 58-year-old federal appellate judge in the South is among five men being considered to head the FBI, knowledgeable sources said Monday. Sources inside and outside the executive branch said Judge Peter T.
Fay of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is among the five men whose background Attorney General Edwin Meese III has asked the FBI to check. A former trial lawyer and U.S. District judge in Miami, Fay was named the nation's outstanding federal appellate judge in 1984 by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. tion to insure that such a hoax does not occur again next winter." In contending that the Reagan administration was responsible for the increase in the homeless, the organization cited: Continued cuts in housing programs for low-income people.
Failure to distribute funds to provide emergency shelter and food until the winter was almost ended. Cuts in funds for programs assisting poor people, particularly for families with children (AFDC). Remarks made by President Reagan and other administration officials "denigrating the homeless and suggesting most were homeless by choice, which had negative effects upon local efforts to attract volunteers and' private funds to assist the homeless." 1A senior Pentagon or even Air Force officials of the problems until fall 1985, and Congress was not informed until January 1987." President Carter killed the B-l program in 1977, surprising many on Capitol Hill, but the bomber was resurrected as the B-1B by the Reagan administration under a deal which guaranteed minimal interference from Congress. ooooooooooo YES WE HAVE SILK BRIDAL FLOWERS -Design your own wedding flower from our large selection of silk flowert mnd wedding tuooliet -Or bavt our floral designer ft do it for you.

"Those projections, unfortunately, are more than being fulfilled as winter concludes." The organization found that agencies providing emergency shelter and assistance to the homeless in most of the cities have not received federal funding for those purposes this winter, although $70 million was authorized by Congress last fall and an additional $50 million during the winter. Peter Smith, partnership president, said, 'We are asking the new Congress to pass appropriate legisla has been a greater threat to the success of the B-l bomber than the Soviet Union," they said. Aspin declined to specify what steps Congress could take against the Air Force, saying that "lack of candor is not a punishable offense, but it causes enormous distrust." "That the Bl-B faced problems was first known to the B-l program managers in October 1982," said Aspin.

While other factors contributed to the record increase, said the survey by an interfaith group, the "principal blame unmistakenly falls upon the current administration." "Those who suffered the most this winter, moreover, were undoubtedly the children of homeless families, who now comprise the largest portion of the homeless population," said the report titled "Broken Promises, Broken Lives." The percentage of homeless families grew about 25 percent to become almost 35 percent of the street people in America, it said. The survey of 47 of the nation's Bomber. Michelle Boyd, said that the service had no immediate comment on the report because the Pentagon had not reviewed it. In the past, Air Force officials have defended the bomber, and noted that they kept procurement costs below the ceiling set by Congress at $20.4 billion in 1981 dollars. The report issued by Aspin and Stratton questioned that figure, saying the Air Force spent an additional $2.6 billion on flight simulators and other programs associated with the B-1B, and that it will cost billions more to bring the plane up to standards.
They outlined four main technical problems documented in congressional hearings earlier this year: "The aircraft does not now provide the capabilities as a manned penetrating bomber that the Air Force promised would be available by last fall" in large part because a package of electronic countermeas-ures designed to foil enemy radar in fact "sends out a beacon attracting defenses to the Some countermeasures jam other elements of the same package, partially blinding the plane's electronic systems; Stall warning systems on the bomber "limit the B-lB's range," and it cannot reach all the targets for which it was designed. The exact range is classified; The Air Force experienced "about a year's delay" in developing the bomber's "terrain-following radar," designed to allow the pilot to fly more safely at altitudes below about 200 feet and thus duck enemy radar.
