of Virginia has filed a $37.5 million rate reduction package. For residential customers with unlimited Touch-Tone service, this amounts to about $1 per month on residential phone bills, a spokesman said. "We are reducing our rates in response to the adoption by the Virginia State Corporation Commission of a four-year trial of a regulatory modernization plan," said manager Bill Holland. "This plan will provide significant benefits to customers as well as the commonwealth as a whole." All residential customers will receive a reduction in basic rates. Most customers will receive a 35-cent-per-month reduction.

For customers in smallest, exchanges, and for those with other unlimited flat rate calling, reductions will range between 10 cents and cents per month. Most rates for basic business services will also be lowered, Holland said. In addition, business and residence customers subscribing to Touch-Tone service will receive a 65-cent-per-month reduction. Rotary-dial customers may convert to Touch-tone service anytime during 1989 without having to pay the change fee. Price reductions have also been made in short distance toll rates and in the rates for WATS, 800, Circle Calling and Tele-Plan services.

In addition, the price of message units has been reduced from 10 cents to 19.8 cents, and local usage and extended area calling charges have been lowered slightly. In conjunction with the rate reductions, some services have been assigned new rate structures, and additional services have been added. "One significant change," said Holland, "is the elimination of 'packages' of Custom Calling services. Customers will not be able to select any combination of services they want with discounts ranging to 35 percent depending upon the number of features they select," he said. "We are pleased that the State Corporation Commission has adopted this regulatory modernization plan," Holland said.

"We look forward to the flexibility to price our competitive services at market rates, which will give our business opportunity to compete in the increasingly competitive telecommunications marketplace." Studies Show Improved Survival BOSTON AP) Studies of nearly 29,000 breast-cancer patients leave no doubt that drug and hormone therapies improve chances of surviving the disease, the second-leading cancer killer of American women, researchers say. Analysis of 61 studies showed that a synthetic hormone called tamoxifen improves the survival of breast cancer victims over age 50, while chemotherapy helps younger women. During the first five years after treatment, tamoxifen reduced the odds of death among older women by about one-fifth, the analysis revealed, while a combination of chemotherapy drugs reduced the odds by about one-quarter for younger victims. The studies were started as far back as 20 years ago. Judge Rejects Scout Damages FAIRFAX, Va.

AP) A Circuit Court judge presiding over a civil lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America granted a defense motion Wednesday to strike a request for $15 million in punitive damages against the scouts. Circuit Judge Richard J. Jamborsky told lawyers he couldn't find any evidence that would justify the award of punitive damages. The ruling came after attorneys for the plaintiff rested their case in the fourth week of the trial. Earlier in the day, the plaintiff, a former scout from Reston, who was sexually abused by his scoutmaster, took the stand and detailed his 11-month relationship with the man convicted of molesting him.

Attorneys for the youth have accused the Boy Scouts organization of failing to identify and screen pedophiles from its ranks. Lawyers also charged the organization with engaging in a nationwide cover-up due to fear of publicity. The youth sued the scouts and his former scoutmaster for $30 million, equally divided between punitive and compensatory damages.
