Since those pumps have wide nozzles designed to prevent the introduction of leaded fuel into cars that need unleaded EC-1 will not be available to drivers of newer cars.

Industry experts say other oil companies, spurred by President Bush's proposal for fleets of cars running on anything but gasoline, are developing similar products. "Everybody is looking at reformulated gasoline right now," said Gere Smith, a spokesman for Philips Petroleum, in Bart-lesville, Okla. Arco said it started work in March, after California's South Coast Air Quality Management District proposed a 20-year plan that would eliminate gasoline-powered cars in favor of vehicles using methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas and electricity. That plan was approved yesterday by the California Air Resources Board in New gas Continued from Page One are likely to follow Arco's lead in introducing fuel formulated for low pollution, known as "designer" gasoline, as a response to proposals in Washington and in California that would force auto makers to design and sell large numbers of cars using methanol, compressed natural gas and other alternative fuels to meet new clean-air standards. "They are seeing the writing on the wall," said Bill Kelly, a spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Los Angeles, which confirmed Arco's claims for the new fuel.

"They want to remain players here. They think they can do it through pushing gasoline formulation and technology." The company said the changes to improve the environmental performance of unleaded gasolines are also thought to be relatively simple, but that it needs to engage in extensive testing and will face heavy expenses in altering refineries. The gasoline companies face tough targets. Methanol can cut the air pollutants emitted from new cars by 50 percent. But they believe that a much smaller saving might make their product environmentally competitive because it could be quickly introduced on all cars.

Arco said that in tests its new fuel for pre-1975 cars reduced evaporative emissions of smog-causing chemicals in them by 21 percent and cut carbon monoxide by 9 percent, nitrogen oxide by 5 percent and hydrocarbons by 4 percent. Such reductions are among many that are important in reducing overall vehicle pollution, like the introduction of equipment at gas stations to reduce evaporation when cars' gas tanks are filled. Pre-1975 cars are thought to account for as much as 30 percent of all vehicle pollution in Southern California, where mild weather allows vehicles to last longer, and California officials hailed yesterday's announcement. "This gasoline will be most helpful in reducing emissions from older cars that do not have sophisticated emission-control systems," said Jananne Sharpless, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board. A 20-year-old car puts out 8 to 10 times as much pollution as a new car, Sharpless said.

Jerry Martin, a spokesman for the board, said the board's staff is working on proposed regulations for cleaner-burning fuel. "We'd like to see the entire fuel industry move in the direction that Arco has," he said. The new fuel will have the same octane as leaded fuel, 88, Morrison said, but it will have less butane, making it less prone to evaporation. Evaporation of unburned fuel is a leading source of the chemicals that combine, in the presence of sunlight, to form ground-level ozone. California has already forced refiners to cut the butane content lower than other areas of the country.

The new Arco fuel also cuts olefins and aromatics, a group of chemicals that help make ozone. It cuts benzene, one aromatic, by 50 percent and sulfur by 80 percent. The company also added methyl tertiary butyl ether, MTBE, an additive used by many refineries to raise octane. MTBE raises the oxygen content of the fuel, which promotes cleaner burning. Cars will perform as well or better, the company said.

Arco said it is naming the new gasoline, which will be introduced Sept. 1, Emission Control 1, or EC-1. Arco said it will sell the fuel at its more than 700 stations in Southern California, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. It will be dispensed from the pumps that Refund times as much revenue during Its first year, 1988, as was needed for education, Moroney decided. Also last month, the state Supreme Court ruled that the state cannot keep taxes it collects if it is later decided the state was not entitled to receive them a ruling that is expected to cost the state about $12 million in repayment of taxes to three companies and attorneys' fees.

Meanwhile, Arizona has faced declining revenue growth and increasing expenditures during the past several years, with midyear budget balancing action needed the majority of the past six to seven years. This year is not expected to be any different, with state agencies expected to come to the Legislature after it begins meeting in January seeking millions in supplemental Legislators and Department of Revenue spokesmen predicted Moroney's ruling will be appealed, particularly because the issue also is being debated in other states. "I'm sure the issue will have to be resolved by the (U.S.) Supreme Court before we're all through," Boice said. "There's similar cases in about 21 different states." The decision, however, represented another blow to the state's continuing budgetary and revenue woes. Last month, Moroney ruled unconstitutional a tax, commonly referred to as the "Sun City school tax," but has yet to decide whether refunds should be made.

The tax on residential property not located in an organized school district, which has since been modified by the Legislature, was unreasonable because it collected four another hit" for more than $200 million. Senate Majority Leader John Ma-whinney, a Tucson Republican and member of the Fiscal 2000 committee studying the state's tax and budget systems, said "the heart of this is a seriously flawed tax program," which he blamed on special tax breaks given to some entities so some politicians could be reelected. "This ought to give us an impetus in Fiscal 2000 to look at stupidities like this," he said. "It begins to fill people in on how bad things are around here," making a special session on tax changes even more essential, he added. Harold Scott, an aide to Gov.

Rose Mofford, also noted the current budget dilemmas. "This adds one more reason why we've got to have a good faith look at how we generate revenue in this state," he said. "You just can't hide from it any longer." The outlook for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, is bleaker, with predictions of a revenue shortfall ranging from $400 million to $800 million. The Legislature's difficulty this year in passing a budget and tax package to cover its $165 million budget deficit will make dealing with this latest tax demand difficult, said Revenue Department Deputy Director Craig Cormier. He estimated the refunds at $160 million to $216 million.

"If they can't solve (a $165 million deficit), how are they going to solve a $210 million" problem, Cormier said yesterday. "The state's got a ton of problems right now, and to throw this in there" makes it financially devastating, he said. Senate Minority Leader Alan Stephens, D-Phoenix, agreed, saying "I don't know how the state can take Continued from Page One said "the refund amount will be the difference between the amount paid by federal pensioners and the amount that would have been paid by such pensioners if state pensioners had been required to pay taxes on state pensions." While lawyers are trying to interpret that statement, Boice said, "the next problem is how do you compute it, and how do you figure out who gets what?" The U.S. "Supreme Court did not mandate a refund of this nature," the judge said in an interview yesterday, noting he relied on arguments and a recent state Supreme Court decision, which said the state cannot keep taxes it collects if it was not entitled to receive them. 2 airliners make problem-related emergency stops The Associated Press A United Airlines jet made an emergency landing in St.

Louis yesterday because a warning light indicated a landing-gear problem, and an American Trans Air jet landed in Chicago after the pilot shut down an engine, officials said. No one was injured in either incident, said a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman. United Flight 673, en route from Chicago to St. Louis with 83 people aboard, notified the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport control tower about 1 1 :30 a.m.

that the left main landing gear of the Boeing 737 might not be fully extended. But it held firm on landing, said a spokesman for the airport. Later, the Trans Air jet, carrying only a crew of three, landed at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Authorities have not determined why the rear engine on the three-engine Boeing 727 jet was shut down. Cuban-born Demo loses strike her bid for Pepper's seat "The fact that they voluntarily went back to work shows that they are content with their jobs," King said.

"If the plants close down, nobody is going to make sure we have jobs. We're not taking action against anybody; we just want to hold onto our jobs," said Nibco's Alonso Rivera.

Hernandez's union, meanwhile, sent a letter to Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari yesterday asking him to end the strike. "We don't want a strike. We want them to let us work and decide our own destinies," the letter said. Salinas has not made a statement favoring one union leader or the other. Plant managers have made several trips to Mexico City seeking an end to the conflict through the federal government.

Don King, plant manager for the newly opened West Bend plant, said yesterday that the workers' action proves their loyalty to Hernandez. "It's a loud signal from the Mexican people to the government that they want their jobs and they want to work and work under the representation of Abel Hernandez," said King, contacted at the Economic Development Corp. in McAllen, Texas, across the border from Reynosa. Many of the plant managers had gathered there to wait for news of the action. Continued from Page One with the work the Americans give us.

They're giving us chances to advance." The Tamaulipas state labor arbitration board had ruled in favor of Morales, but the plants took the case to federal court, asking that Hernandez be declared the official representative. The federal court has yet to issue a ruling in the case. All the workers interviewed said they expected Morales supporters to attempt to remove them from the plants. No action had been taken by the rival union, however, hours after the plants reopened. Such foreign-owned plants, known as maquiladoras or twin plants, take advantage of Mexico's lower wage rates to assemble products to sell in the United Staes.

Two American companies, Inva-mex of Ohio and Pilling de Mexico of Pennsylvania, have said they will pull out of Mexico before being forced to sign a contract with Morales.

In late charges, Kennedy criticized Richman, who raised money for Democratic candidates in 1988, for contributing $2,000 to the Bush campaign, Richman said he attended a Bush dinner at a friend's request, and his campaign countered that Kennedy campaigned with then-candidate Dan Quayle.

Her campaign said she appeared with Quayle in her role as a city commissioner. Kennedy carried predominantly Hispanic precincts Aug. 1, and Rich-man dominated Miami Beach's Jewish and retiree vote. Jo Ann Pepper, the late congressman's niece, and black candidates Marvin Dunn and Sonny Wright dominated the diverse district's black neighborhoods, and all three endorsed Kennedy. However, Richman devoted much attention to the black vote in the runoff race.

There are 32,183 registered black voters, 16,028 registered Hispanics and 51,987 non-Hispanic whites among the 100,198 registered Democrats in the 18th District. Richman has said repeatedly: "This is an American seat." Rich-man says that theme means he Is "for all the people" and that he rejects Republican leader Lee Atwater's 2-month-old statement that it's time to elect the first Cuban-American to Congress. The most-qualified candidate should be elected, he says. MIAMI, Fla. (AP) A lawyer who said he was running for "an American seat" decisively captured the Democratic nomination yesterday over a Cuban-born woman in an ethnically tense battle to succeed the late Rep.

Claude Pepper. Gerald Richman, a 47-year-old former Florida Bar Association president making his first run for office, defeated Rosario Kennedy, 44, who resigned after four years as a Miami city commissioner to run in the special election. With all of 146 precincts reporting unofficial returns, Richman had 14,411 votes, or 61 percent, to 9,226 votes, or 39 percent, for Kennedy. Richman will face Republican state Sen. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, 37, on Aug.

29. President Bush will campaign with the Cuban-born educator here Wednesday in what the Republican Party considers a golden opportunity to add to its 10-8 majority in Florida's congressional delegation. Pepper held the seat for the Democrats from its inception until his death 27 years later, May 30 at age 88. Richman stunned Kennedy, the Democratic front-runner, with a late-charging, 146-vote victory in the Aug. 1 primary, in which five other Democrats were eliminated.

Ros-Lehtinen, whose resignation after seven years as state legislator is effective Aug. 29, won the four-way race for GOP nomination with 83 percent of the vote.
