(Continued from page 1) is more fun," said Roemer, interviewed by telephone in Louisiana where he's campaigning to become governor: "We start at 8 and quit at midnight and nobody talks about. an impending bill or how he goofed up on the House floor." The disclosure forms, made public Thursday, require only that a member of Congress show finances in broad ranges. Roemer volunteered that his "hobby" is playing poker, last year grossing him from $15,000 to $50,000.

But Roemer said his net, after deducting his losses, was $8,706. "I play seven card stud, highlow, and hold 'em, Texas version," he said. In that variation, two cards are dealt to each player with five common cards in the middle. On average, Roemer said, he wins $400 to $500 a game and "occasionally lose. The games, which rotate among the homes of the players, set $50 as the maximum bet.

A player can lose $200 to $300 or $400, Roemer says and you can't afford to do that, you ought not to be playing." I love to play occasionally and Erskine families who attended Erskine.

high-technology goods Israel, which in turn would transfer military equipment to a third country. The third country, apparently China, then would deliver arms through a trading company to the Contras and other "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan, Angola and Cambodia. The plan, although never specifically carried out, could have been a model for the Iran -Contra scheme, investigators said. Testimony seemed to cast growing doubt on the sworn statements of retired Air Force Maj. Gen.

Richard V. Secord, who had been the bearings' opening witness. Witnesses told of markups on weapons sold to the Contras by Secord, who has insisted he made no profit on the deals. Investigators noted Secord has decided to dig in his heels on release of Swiss bank records rather than cooperate, as he had told the committees he would. Secord's business partner, Albert Hakim, was scheduled to testify when hearings resume Wednesday.

Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel investigating the Iran -Contra affair, has subpoenaed David Kimche, the former director of Israel's foreign ministry, to testify about his role in the affair, an Israeli official said Thursday. Asher Naim, Israeli embassy information director, accused Walsh of "going off on his own and violating agreements reached between Israel and the United States." Kimche is visiting New York and would not have risked a visit to the United States if he had not felt safe from subpoena, said an Israeli official who asked not to be identified. Israeli officials are negotiating with Walsh over the summons, said an embassy official. The three Contra donors testified that they would not have made their contributions without assurances that the Reagan administration wanted them to give.

Coors said he approached then -CIA Director William J. Casey, who told him, "Ollie North's the guy to see." Garwood and O'Boyle. were introduced to North by Channell. "Colonel North's involvement seemed to me a guarantee that this was the executive branch of the government asking for help," said Mrs. Garwood, who gave more than $2 million through Channell's organizations.

Mrs. Garwood said she attended a White House session in January 1986 at which North and Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams made presentations, and Reagan thanked the contributors present for their support of the Contras. No money solicitations were made then, she added. O'Boyle said North even told him during a private meeting of a "secret" U.S. plan to use the Navy to blockade Nicaraguan ports and overthrow the leftist Sandinista government.

Rudman later said the story was merely a gimmick to raise money. 0'Boyle also testified that Channell told him Reagan would meet with him for a 15-minute, "off-the-record" session if he raised $300,000 for the cause. Coors and O'Boyle said they were surprised to hear Secord was claiming ownership of the light aircraft they thought they had donated to the rebels. Another witness annoyed by Secord's activities was retired Army Maj. Gen.

John K. Singlaub, who said he was trying strenuously to raise money for the Contras when Secord apparently was sitting on $8 million in profits and donations. intended for the rebels. "I must say that was a source of great irritation to me," said Singlaub. "If I had had any knowledge that money was in a bank and available, I would have been even more furious.

The Contras could have used it." Ship attack (Continued from page 1) fired two French Exocet missiles at the frigate, Pentagon officials said. W. Murphy, an assistant secretary of state, defended the administration's decision to put the American flag and American captains aboard Kuwaiti oil tankers. The cargo ships also will be offered the protection of U.S. naval power in the gulf.

"We believe that Iran would be reluctant to engage the U.S. militarily because of concern over our response," Murphy said, but added that in view of the deepening American involvement, "there is a risk there, we don't deny it." So far this year, Iran has attacked 20 ships in the gulf. At least 16 were linked to Kuwait. said American investigators from the Pentagon and State Department were to leave shortly for Baghdad for a joint investigation with Iraq. "There is no doubt in my mind it was an accident," the State Department official said.

"'The Iraqis did not intend that attack." The Senate, by voice vote, gave final congressional approval to a resolution making May 25 a day of remembrance for sailors killed on the Stark.
