Opponents ' osophically I Their clearest area of agreement, however, concerns their mutual distaste for Bates' record. In partic• ular, both sharply criticize Bates' well-publicized efforts to draw at . tention to waste and fraud in Navy procurement, which Bqtterfield characterized as "more about going for the headlines: . . than trying to solve t he problem." I . Given the lopsided party makeup of his district, however, Bates is confident that he will retain his / . : seat as the only Democrat in the . :ounty's congressional delegation. ' "Let's just say I'm not planning a career change anytime soon," Bates said recently, barely able to 1 ;tifle a yawn as he discussed his >rospective GOP opponents. Indeed, although Acle and But- erfield often tell their Republican udiences that Bates is "vulnera- le"-the favorite word in all polit- :al long shots' vocabulary-the ature of the 44th District would I >pear to indicate otherwise. With that in mind, perhaps the I ost accurate description of the l'Jlificance of the Republican pri- 1 =i.ry in the 44th District came from imocratic political consultant ck J ohnson. I "Here's a case where the winner , the loser/' Johnson said. "Be- / !Se you nught win the primary in : 1e but you're going to lose in i vember. T hat's practically ·, iranteed. ~f you're the Republi- 1 nommee m the 44th, the reality .ou have to campaign five more : 1ths, spend more money, and ' 1 you lose. So, the guy who i s in June might be the real I 1er." I I Not Planning Change

In contrast, Acle, 45, saying "you can't out -Liberal Jim Bates," views his positions as more attractive to conservative Democrats in the 44th District, which covers downtown and southern San Diego, extendmg from Linda Vista south to Otay, and also includes Lemon Grove, Na- tional City and Chula Vista. . "I believe my opponent is right when he says we have to appeal to Democrats but I don't thi nk you can lure ~way too many liberals from a Democrat," Acle said. "Con- servative Democrats are the ones who might cross over. Plus, if he's going to try to appeal on _the bas\s oi being a liberal Republ 1 can, he s going to have trouble holding on to his Republican base." , . . , The two candidates ph1losoph1• cal sparring stems largely from what Butterfield now terms "an ill- advised .. . poor r hoice of words" in a March newspaper story ' in which he referred to himself as 'I realize it's very tough, but Jim Bates should not be allowed to just skate through without substantial opposition. I feel almost a civic ·obligation to provide analternativetoMr. . Bates. At the very least, that will keep him on his toes.' Challenger Robert Butterfield Jr. possibly being more liberal than Bates on some issues. With the word "liberal" being almost heretical to many Republ~- cans, that remark has haunted Butterfield throughout the cam- paign, partly because A~Le takes every opportunity to remmd cam- paign audiences of it. Put on ,the defensive, Butterfield has gone to lengths to clarify his comment over the past two months, and now, half-Jokingly, vows "never to use the L-word again." '

Recent political history suggests that seeking the Republican nomi-, nation in San Diego's 44th Con- gressional District is the electoral equivalent of volunteerin~ to rein- . force Custer at the Little Big Horn. Expressly carved out lo be a "safe" Democratic seat by the Democratic officeholders who con- trolled reapportionment after the 1980 census, the 44th District in- cludes large concentrations of blacks, Latinos and other minori• ties who have given the Democrats a commanding 56%-32% edge among registered voters. That demographic makeup has, mdeed, provided a safe political haven for Rep. Jim Bates (D-San Diego), a 46-year-old former San Diego City Councilman and co~nty supervisor who has never received less than 64% of the vote since capturing the seat in 1982. , By all conventional political yardsticks there is no reason to suspect th~t the outcome this No - vember will be any different. But the bleak prospects that con£r~nt any Republican in the 44th D1str1ct have not deterred lawyer Robert Butterfield Jr. and former Reagan Administration official Luis Acle, who have campaigned hard this spring for the dubious privilege of tack.ling those all but insurmounta• ble odds this fall. 'It's Very Tough' "I realize it's very tough, but Jim Bates should not be allowed to just 1 skate through without substantial opposition," Butterfield explained. "I feel almost a civic obligation to provide an alternative to Mr. Bates. Al the very leas.t, that will 1'eep him on his toes." The Acle -Butterfield race is the only seriously contested primary in San Diego County's four coi:igr~s- sional districts. In the 41st D1stnct, small businessman Rick Singer is waging an offbeat campaign against Rep. Bill LowerL(R-San Diego) in the GOP primary. But Singer's own siogan-"Vote ·.for Rick Singer and waste your vote, or vote for Bill Lowery and waste . your money" -has made it difficult to take his candidacy seriously. In the 44th District, Acle, a staunch conservative, and Butter- field, whose positions on most is- sues are considerably more moder - 1 , 1 ate,,have spent much of their _time , , · trying to persuade Repubhc3:ns ' upsetting Bates In November. Lib- ertarian Dennis Thompson, the president of a cqmputer time-.shai:- ing company, is unopposed m his party's primary. . ,Butterfield, a 37-year-old long- time party activist running in his first race, argues that his moderate policies could appeal to Democra!-5 disenchanted with Bales, a necessi- ty for any Republican who hopes I:<' win in a district in which the GOP 1s outnumbered more than 3 to 2. that their respective philosophies ofter the GOP the better chance of '

"Some people took that comment out of context, so it's hurt me _in some respects," Butterfield said.

They ope rate feeding centers and mobile medical clinics. They teach children and visit shut-ins. The missionaries also operate an adoption program for abandoned babies in India. Mother Teresa fights abortion on many fronts, saying that unwanted,

unborn babies are in greater danger than lepers. Four Missionaries of Charity arrived in T ij uana, Mexico, in February to open a shelter for dying and destitute men . Mother Teresa's visit to San Diego May 31 was m conjunction with her visit to the Tijuana shelter. Mother Teresa believes that in serving the poor, she directly serves God. And her concept of poverty extends beyond material want. "Poverty is the

absence of love," she told T ower. "There is more warmth in Calcutta where people are will ing to share . .. than in many places where they have everythi ng.'' In some cities " people simply die of lonelin e ss , unwant ed, unlo ve d , forgotten " - a poverty she called worse than being without food . She upholds a similar concept of illness .
