SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL Temperatures indicate previous days high and overnight low to 8 m. EST High oil prices give Bank robberies at high pace in two counties Deukmejian facing few 'midnight appointments RIVERSIDE (AP) A record bank robbery rate in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has bank tellers and managers sitting on pins and needles. I know every time that door opens I (look up) and see who it is that just walked in the door, said Linda McCown, Coast Savings branch manager in Sun City. I think were all on alert right now.

Through Friday, there were 143 bank heists in the two counties, well above the previous record of 90 in 1988. The 20 robberies committed in November was a monthly high, and nine more have occurred this month. Were setting a definite record this year, Im sorry to say, said Ron Heller, chief of the FBI office in Riverside. Novembers the biggest month weve ever had and December looks like its going to be a record-setter, too, he said. Were getting them Fridays and Saturdays, every day of1 the (business) week.

Would-be bandits seem to like Sun City, a town with 14 banks about 35 miles southeast of Riverside. There have been six bank rob dilemma The governor also has said he intends to use at least $50 million to bump salaries at state colleges and universities up to the average of Southern states. Also, school support workers, school bus drivers and other vocal groups want raises. And state workers want the Legislature to work toward retiring the $6 billion deficit in the state retirement system. Louis Lambert, a Democrat who plans to challenge Roemer, also a Democrat, next year, said the windfall should be used to get rid of 1 cent of the state sales tax.

State lawmakers also are hearing cries from local governments, which Jiave suffered from a $500 million decrease in federal and state aid over the past five years. Reductions weve had in state aid over the past few years puts us second to last in the states as far as state assistance to local governments, Pasqua said. Yeah, were hurting. Local officials want relief from five years of financial chaos that has reduced many parish roads to beaten-up paths, restricted police and fire protection and left some local governments virtually destitute. Problems often worsen because local governments in Louisiana have little authority to raise money on their own.

They must travel to Baton Rouge each year and lobby for money and the authority to raise taxes. state rare ALAN SAYRE Associated Press Writer BATON ROUGE, La. The same high oil prices that sent the nations economy tottering into recession have left Louisiana with a problem most state governments wish they had a budget surplus. While New York, California and other states are being forced to make painful budget cuts, Louisiana officials are haggling over what to do with as much as $400 million in surplus money. And with years of pinched budgets and deficit financing forced on the state by the oil bust of the 80s, there is no shortage of ideas for what to do with the windfall.

Louisianas economy usually bucks trends in the rest of the nation, said Charles Pasqua, executive director of the Louisiana Municipal Association. When were in good shape, they go down, Pasqua said. When theyre in their heyday, were at our low ebb. The states preliminary unemployment rate for October dropped to 6 percent, only slightly above the national average, after skyrocketing above 13 percent during the late 1980s when the rest of the nation was enjoying the longest economic boom in decades. A battle is looming in the Legislature on how to use the surplus to make up for deficits and unmet needs that are left over from the worst times since the Great Depression.

Gov. Buddy Roemer has said part of the projected surplus could be used to help retire about $900 million in bonds sold in 1987 to help retire the state's accumulated deficit.

The First Interstate Bank branch was hit twice during a recent five-day period and three times in all since Sept.

17. More recently, banks in Riverside and San Bernardino were robbed on Thursday, and two more were hit on Friday in Ontario and Rancho Mirage. Robbery attempts are more frequent in the holiday season, Heller said. He added that those his agents arrest for investigation of robbery often are prison parolees unable to find steady, legal work. The heist wave has prompted bank managers to keep less money at teller windows.

Marcy DeLap, manager of the Bank of America branch in Sun City, said she and neighboring merchants also are considering hiring professional security guards. Her bank has been hit twice this year. It seems they are increasing in the number of hits and the i frequency of hits, she said. And now with the holidays, I hate to think about it.
