THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Paul Newman took the day off from his salad dressing trial at Bridgeport, Conn., to search for a site to locate a second camp for children who are seriously ill.

Newman established the 300-acre Hole In The Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn., in June 1988. It entertains boys and girls ages 7 to 17 with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses.

Newman's lawyer, Leo Nevas, said Newman went to Florida on Friday to scout locations for the second camp, which will also aid children with serious diseases.

"All the seed money will come from him," Nevas said, while others will provide donations to keep the camp going.

Nevas said plans are also under way to site a third camp in England, which would be supported with donations made overseas.

\ Adnan Khashoggi, once considered the world's richest man, says he's worth only about $54 million.

But the Saudi financier continues to live in a lavish Fifth Avenue duplex created Adnan Khashoggi out of 16 apartments and valued at $26 million.

Khashoggi - the middleman in the ill-fated Iran-Contra arms-for-hostage deal - showed the place off to Barbara Walters in an interview on ABC's "20-20" that aired Friday.

Khashoggi told Walters that he was never worth the billions people said he had. He said it was more like $1 billion, but a series of financial setbacks reduced that to $54 million.

He is about to go on trial in federal court in New York with Imelda Marcos, widow of deposed Philippine leader Ferdinand Marcos. Khashoggi is accused of helping her the Marcoses conceal a series of New York real estate deals.
