IJE17S DHIEFS Senate expected to pass jobless bill The Associated Press WASHINGTON The House resoundingly approved a $5.3 billionbill yesterday giving extra benefits to the long-term jobless, and the Senate was expected to send the measure to President Bush for his promised signature on today. By a 396-30 vote, the House sent the Senate the compromise measure, which was crafted after Bush joined a Democratic effort he long resisted. The Senate's efforts to adopt the mea man Angelo DelToro, a Manhattan Democrat.

He said Assembly members have been privately urging regents to put off the vote for a while. DelToro also complained that the process was too secretive. He said he was considering proposing legislation that would require the 16-member Board Patricia Keegan, a state Education Department spokeswoman. The regents made their selection despite being urged by the head of the Assembly Education Committee to hold off on electing a new leader so the public can find out more about the candidates for the top spot. The Btate's education policy-setting board met in executive session to select a successor to Barell.

The chancellor is selected from the members of the board. The regents ejected a reporter from The Associated Press from their meeting, saying it could be closed under the state's Open Meetings Law because it dealt with a promotion. "There seems to be a rush to judgment," said Assembly Education Committee Chair keep it closed," DelToro said. "This is a very important position." The regents chancellor serves, in effect, as the school board president for the state. Barell, a Long Island lawyer who's had that job since 1985, said last month that he is giving it up for health reasons.

Carballada, president of Central Trust Co. in Rochester, will take over the position in March. Floyd Linton, a Long Island publishing executive, was also a contender for the chancellor's position. The legislative pressure is important because regents are elected to seven-year terms by the Legislature. Since there are more Assembly members than senators, the Assembly tends to have more say in the selection of regents.

New chancellor is local banker The Associated Press ALBANY Brighton banker R. Carlos Carballada was selected last night by the state Board of Regents as its new chancellor. Carballada will succeed Long Island lawyer Martin Barell as the chief of New York state's school board. Jorge Batista, a Bronx lawyer, was selected vice chancellor. The regents made their choices in a closed-door meeting last night and will ratify them in a public vote this morning, said Carballada of Regents to hold public hearings of prospective chancellor candidates.

FDA panel: Allow continued selling of breast implants Cox News Service WASHINGTON Members of a Food and Drug Administration scientific advisory board recommended yesterday that the government allow manufacturers of silicone-based breast implants to continue marketing the devices despite lack of evidence they are safe. The panel urged the FDA to move quickly to require four manufacturers to provide additional data bearing on the safety of implants, which are used by plastic surgeons to augment women's breasts for cosmetic reasons and for reconstruction following mastectomies. "This was a unanimous vote that there is a sufficient public health need for these implants for us to recommend that they be allowed to remain on the market," said Dr.

The report of the independent fact-finder legal ethicist and former law school dean Monroe Freedman is expected to recommend a ban on all classified research at RIT, on the grounds that such research makes academic oversight impossible. However, some panel members have reservations about an absolute ban, sources said. Freedman and the panel also will propose that no participation by members of the RIT community in CIA-related projects be expected or requested, without those people being fully informed of the nature of the project and the CIA's involvement in it. Their report is the culmination of a four-month investigation ordered by trustees in the wake of extensive disclosures about RIT's ties with the CIA. Freedman was appointed as senior fact-finder, with Jonathan Soroko, a former New York City government prosecutor, as his assistant.

The document, expected to run to about 200 pages, was still being made final yesterday after several disagreements TURN TO PAGE 10A The Associated Press ROYAL OAK, Mich. A fired postal worker who colleagues said had vowed revenge on his superiors sprayed his former post office with bullets from a semiautomatic weapon yesterday, killing three employees and wounding six, according to authorities. Employees said Thomas Mcllvane, 31, of Oak Park then turned his rifle, a sawed-off semiautomatic, on himself. He and three of his victims were hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said. Royal Oak police Officer Joseph Hill said besides the six wounded, some other postal workers were injured jumping from windows to escape the gunfire that began shortly before 9 a.m.

Mcllvane was fired last year for time-card fraud and appealed, U.S. Postal Service spokesman Lou Eberhardt said in Washington. An arbitrator upheld the firing Wednesday. "Everybody said if he didn't get his job back, he was going to come in and shoot," postal worker Bob Cibulka said. "Everyone was talking about it." McDvane's previous threats against supervisors had been forwarded to Postal Service authorities, and led to revocation of his concealed-weapons permit for hunting and target shooting last spring, Oakland County Prosecutor Richard Thompson said.

Postal inspector Art Vandeputte said the Postal Service did what it could to prevent the potential for tragedy, short of sealing off the post office. Doors with combination locks were installed about three months ago in the loading dock area, where Mcllvane began shooting, postal workers said.

The threats followed the Department of Justice's release of an indictment against two Libyan intelligence operatives, accusing them of planting and detonating the explosive device that killed 270 people. A senior White House official said President Bush was weighing whether to order military action against Libya, and officials would not rule out an attempt to kidnap the accused agents. The president is now consulting with British Prime Minister John Major and other foreign leaders about concerted international action.

It's within U.S. law to go into these countries and capture these leaders, Hunt said, adding he doesn't believe it will happen while Bush is president. "Our government would've been just happy if everybody would forget about it. I'll never be satisfied unless those people are punished," he said, adding: "We're never going to bring them to trial.

We cannot make compromises with terrorists because it's an appeasement policy. They'll do it again." Hunt said he expects to hear within the next few months what the federal government has found during their investigation and what type of retaliatory action might be taken against Libya.
