HEADLINE: WORLD & NATIONAL REPORT FEDS REJECT CONSPIRACY IN ASSASSINATION OF KIN G

BODY:
WASHINGTON - Justice Department investigators yesterday rejected allegations that conspirators aided James Earl Ray - or had him framed - in the 1968 assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The new probe - ordered by Attorney General Janet Reno 18 months ago - found no evidence to support allegations from former Memphis bar owner Loyd Jowers and former FBI agent Donald Wilson, and earlier from Ray himself, that a mysterious Raoul, or others, participated in a plot to kill the civil rights leader.

The panel urged that the matter be put to rest.

"We found no credible evidence to support allegations of any conspiracy to kill Dr. King involving Jowers, Raoul, the Mafia, Memphis police officers, figures involved in the Kennedy assassination, federal agents, U.S. military personnel or African-American ministers close to Dr. King," said Barry Kowalski, head of the investigation and one of the department's leading civil rights prosecutors.

The investigation did not convince some people close to the case. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was with King when he was shot, told CNN he still believes other people assisted Ray. The King family declined to comment.   APMIA search OKd

WASHINGTON - The U.S. and North Korea agreed yesterday to resume a joint effort to locate and recover the remains of thousands of American servicemen unaccounted for from the Korean War. The first search mission is scheduled for June 25, the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. The Pentagon estimates more than 1,500 U.S. servicemen might have been killed in the initial search area. Gormley concedes TRENTON - State Sen. Bill Gormley has conceded the Senate GOP primary race to U.S. Rep. Bob Franks. Gormley came within a few thousand votes of Franks Tuesday and conceded Thursday night. He vowed to work hard for Franks against Democratic nominee Jon Corzine, who defeated former Gov. Jim Florio. Estate-tax repeal WASHINGTON - House Republicans, joined by dozens of Democrats at odds with President Clinton, passed a bill to repeal inheritance taxes by 2010.

Supporters said they were acting to prevent taxes from ruining family farms and small businesses, but detractors decried it as a costly giveaway for the rich. Clinton promised to veto the bill, citing revenue losses of $750 billion in the decade after repeal is fully in place.  Singed, he retires

ALBUQUERQUE - The park superintendent who was suspended after approving a prescribed burn that blew out of control and rolled through Los Alamos last month, destroying hundreds of home, is retiring.

Bandelier National Monument superintendent Roy Weaver has taken responsibility for the decision to start the burn on May 4. He said he believed conditions had been just right for the annual regimen of burning brush to stave off a potentially disastrous fire - and said he would do it again. "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't," he said. "But we made the best decision we could with the information we had at the time."
