(AP) As Dr. Lynn Moore was finishing her studies at Atlanta's Morehouse School of Medicine, she began looking for a residency program that would combine her career goals: family medicine and internal medicine. "To my dismay, there was said. "I was so delighted when it was approved." Dr.

Keith Baxter was a little slower to act When he got a notice in the mail that the program was about to open, he set it aside. That call led to an interview, and soon Baxter like Moore was packing for Virginia. 96," said Barnes, who wanted to start an initial class of four residents. "But we decided to move forward, even though we had less than a month to recruit residents." The void didn't take long to fill. "When this option became available, I jumped at it," Moore none," said Moore, a former emergency room volunteer who became a registered nurse before training as a physician.

But about that time, officials at the Eastern Virginia Medical School started planning for the nation's first dual residency in those two crucial fields of primary alist Medicine. "So it was a fairly receptive group," said Barnes, whose school submitted a formal proposal to the two accrediting agencies in September 1994. To the school's surprise, approval came last January. "We expected to start in July care. The American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board ofFamily Medicine already were talking about such a program last year when EVMS approached them, said Dr.

Russia's cash-strapped military, which once relied on Rybinsk's engines, has not placed an order in months. "We were raised under the socialist system.

It's not our fault," Shelgunov said, sitting in his office surrounded by model airplanes and charts showing declining production and increasing prices. He estimated more than 90 percent of Russian enterprises are in similar straits. "They're probably all on their knees."

I CROSS COUNTY MALL ft 7- ---A) RYBINSK, Russia (AP) Most of the machinery in the vast production hall at Rybinsk Motors stands eerily silent, and the few visible employees are tucked in corners reading recipe books or playing dominoes.

For months, the plant has been working at 25 percent capacity. The few aircraft engines it is producing do not meet most current safety standards. Despite the quiet, a battle is raging over the fate of Russia's largest aircraft engine producer. The issue: whether to subsidize or privatize. Supporters of a rapid changeover to free markets want the government to stop propping up Rybinsk and other old state in- dustries.

Their opponents say the human costs of privatization are too high. It is a struggle familiar in many factory towns across Russia, as managers spar with the national government to stay alive despite low demand for their goods and dwindling funds. Aggravating all these fights is the mounting discord between Moscow and its disenchanted regions. The battle has intensified ahead of December's parliamentary elections, in which communists and other opponents of market reforms are expected to do well. 1 At stake at Rybinsk Motors are Russia's military and civilian aircraft engine industry, thousands of jobs, and a city of 100,000 people relying on the factory to pay for its schools, hospitals and other social services.

Valery Shelgunov, director of Rybinsk Motors, says the factory is floundering because of poor management by its previous director. He says the factory just made a small profit and he wants continued subsidies to keep the 24,500 employees working and to modernize. The government says the factory is bankrupt, and wants to Sell off its 37 percent stake as soon as possible. The rest of the stock is owned by the workers, the city administration and some private investors. Shelgunov says the government is using Rybinsk Motors as a pawn in a political game and has no interest in saving Russian industry.

The government says it is trying to crack down on inefficient Soviet-era production practices and promote a free market.

Those factories are operating at partial capacity and producing goods for which there is little or no demand, he says. Others say Russia is falling apart because of market reforms. "Without us, the whole city would collapse," said Albert Dushin, foreman of the factory's main assembly plant. Rybinsk Motors supports 60 percent of the economy of Rybinsk, 200 miles northeast of Moscow.

The workers, not surprisingly, just want to keep working. "Personally, I don't care if (the factory) is state-run or private. I just want to feed my kids," said Leonid Alexeyev, a 42-year-old machinist. He has not received his monthly ($45) salary in months'.
