In N.C. During '69

RALEIGH (AP) - Industry invested a record $682.5 million for new and expanded facilities in Nwth Carolina in 1969, director R(y Sowers Jr. of the states Department of Conservation and Development said today.

The previous record was $661.9 million sets in 1967, Sow

ers said in a year-end report to Gov. Bob Scott. He was one of 13 heads of state departments and agencies who presented summaries for the past year.

Once and for all, Sowers said, we have torn away the (rfficial cobweb of veiled hostility toward the conservation interests in our state.

NEW LICENSE TAGS . . . Mrs. Anna Garris, local license agent, shows the 1970 red and white reflectorized license plates which will be on sale Thursday. (Reflector Staff Photo)

License plates go on sale in Greenville Thursday according to Mrs. Anna Garris, local license agent.

The application cards necessary for obtaining 1970 license plates were placed in the mail on Dec. 18.

The new reflectorized red and white plates may be obtained by local residents at Home and Auto Supply. 718 Dickinson Ave., from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.. Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

Residents will have to have a renewal card in order to renew their licenses, Mrs. Garris said.

Mrs Garris added, It is necessary for applicants to read the instructions on the renewal card carefully and complete the application according to instructions before presenting the card for a new plate.

The name of the applicants automobile liability insurance and policy number will have to be placed on the back of the card before licenses can be issued, Mrs. Garris point out.

Motorists will be paying more for their 1970 plates than they have been paying in the past.

The registration fees were increased about 25 percent by the 1969 Legislature.

North Carolinas amputee war veterans and war veterans having lOO percent disability rating by the Veterans Administration wilt receive their license plates free.

The tags will go on sate throughout the state on Friday but will be on sate here Thursday.

The 1%9 license plates expire today and owners have until Feb. 16 to obtain new plates.

The Department of Motor Vehicles has made arrangements with the local post office to turn over to Mrs. Garris the renewal cards which the post office has been unable to deliver. Anyone failing to receive jnd application card may find it at the local office.

It will take from 10 days to two weeks to get application cards from the Department of Motor Vehicles in Raleigh. Mrs. Garris noted. Those who have not received an application should come by my (rffice as early as possible so that there will be time to get one out of Raleigh if I do not have it," she suggested.

He added, The doors at todays C&D are as wide open for a professor who preaches conservation and preservation as they are for the president of a multi-million dollar corporation. North Carolina needs both.

Henry E. Kendall, chairman of the Employment Security Commission, said, Increasing employment and wages and declining unemployment were highlights within the states labor force during the year. Kendall reported to the governor that in 1%9 "the most urgent problem within our labw force was the need to ui^rade occupational skills and abilities.

Dr. I. E. Ready, director of the states Department of Community Colleges, said that in 1969 the number (rf technical institutes and community colleges in North Carolina was increased from 50 to 54. Technical institutes were authorized in Vance, Johnston, Henderson and Person counties.

This extension, he said, now places an institution within commuting distance of over 95 per cent of the population of the state.

Clifton Craig, state commissioner (rf social service, said while the 1%9 General Assembly provided more funds for public assistance than ever before, those eligible for aid have likewise increased at unprecedented rates. During the past 12 months, the rolls increased by approximately 9 per cent.

Dr. Justus Bier, director of the North Carolina Museum of Art, reported the museum attracted 86,447 visitors during the year. He said a total of 72 art works was added to its collections.

Other reports were received on Archives and History, Medical Care Commission, Blind Commission, Juvenile Correction Commission, adjutant general, state library, retirement system and Department of Local Affairs.

No Headway in Trying To Fly Gift Parcels

RALEIGH (AP) - Gov. Bob Scott said today he would not be against repeal of the state's one-tent tax on soft drinks if the soft drink industry would reduce prices as much as it raised them when the tax was put on.

Actually they ought to feel highly toward state government because were making them rich, Scott said. We put a penny on them and they go up five cents.

Gunboats Are Sighted Off Israel

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot placed last-minute calls to the two top leaders of the Soviet Union today seeking permission to fly his Peace on Earth jetliner to Moscow with 9,000 gift parcels for U.S. prisoners (rf war in North Vietnam.

He made no immediate headway but said he would keep trying in order to meet a midnight deadline.

In his calls to Moscow, Perot reached only secretaries of Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev. They told Perot that the two leaders were not in and that all government offices are closing down anyway.

But Perot kept repeating calls to Kosygins office.

ADJOURNMENT NEW YORK (AP) -Negotiations between the General Hectric Co. and two unions bargaining nationally have been adjourned until Monday with no progress reported in the talks.

By RONALD THOMSON Associated Press Writer HAIFA, Israel (AP) Two of five gunboats from France were sighted today 40 miles west of this Israeli port. A pair of Israeli jets zoomed over them and gave two victory rolls.

The vessels and the jet acrobatics were seen by Associated Press photographer Brian Calvert in a plane over the Mediterranean Sea.

There was no immediate sign of the three other gunboats that left Cherbourg on C3iristmas Eve.

At Haifa, an oil company spokesman indicated the mission of the gunboats would be to supply and defend an Israeli-A-merican oil drilling operation off the Israeli coast.

A spokesman 2nd graf lead A spokesman for the Metivei Mext Co. said the speedy, 147-foot craft would arrive late in the afternoon (10 a.m. EST) and newsmen could question some of the officers and a company representative at a news conference.

The gunboats had been slowed by gale winds in the eastern Mediterranean, but the winds calmed at dawn.

The boats slipped out of Cherbourg harbor at 3 a.m. Christmas morning, evading the French governments embargo on arms to Israel. They were part of a flotilla of 12 built for Israel, but the other seven were delivered before the embargo was clamped on last January.

The French government said the boats had been sold to a Norwegian company for offshore oil drilling operations. It asserted the departure of the boats, manned by Israeli crews, was a complete surprise. But newsmen investigating in Cherbourg found strong indications that a number of high French officials knew in advance that the boats would be leaving and did nothing to stop them.

Authoritative political sources in Jerusalem said Foreign Minister Abba Eban told French Ambassador Francois Hure at a meeting Monday that the boats would be used for civilian purposes.

The newspaper Maariv said the government would also take steps to demonstrate to the world that the boats were brought to Israel for peaceful purposes.

It said a reception would be given for the ships on their arrival by the Maritijme Fruit Carriers Ltd., the Israeli shipping cctmpany which apparently bankrolled the paper corporation that bought the boats from France.

view today reviewing his first year in office.

Discussing tax increased voted by the 1969 General Assembly, Scott said as a result of the two-cent tax on cigarettes and one-cent on soft drinks, the state gets the blame for it all but we dont get the money. I still feel that it would have been better to have the five cent tax on cigarettes.

I suspect that in the future there may be an effort to repeal some or all of these taxes, Scott added.

Asked about the two-cent increase in gasoline taxes, Scott said. Come this spring you are going to see one of the dogi^orh est road building programs you have ever seen. There will be building going on in every nook and cranny in this state. . to do that we had to have the money.

Asked about disappointments of his first year, Scott said the failure of the General Assembly to appropriate funds to more fully implement a broader public school kindergarten program was a disappointment as well as the failure to obtain tax relief for our aged citizens.

Another disappointment, Scott said, was that we have found it necessary to call our National Guard in a few instances to protect life and property in (Hir state and to put down racial disturbances.

Asked about surprises he has had, Scott said he had been

surprised... at how upset some folks can get because they didn't have the appointment they wanted or expected.

"Ive been surprised at the inertia of governmentjust trying to get something done, to make some change in direction requires an awful lot of effort, he added.

The governors job, is a lot busier than it used to be. he said. He noted that years ago. governors took life much eas

ier

But there doesnt seem to be that many hours in the day any more. The pressures of lime are so much greater.

In former days, he said, There was not the complexity of government, the magnitude of some of the problems . for instance, there didnt seem to be the diversity of opinion, the polarization of public opinion we have tixlay. They werent bothered with the problem of racial

unrest, which consunnes a lot of

time.

Saying that probtems of future governors will be even more complex, Scott said he thought future governors are going to have to be more inaccessible to the public at large simply because he doesnt have the time to talk with the individual about individual problems. He will have to spend more time in the decision making process.

Bribery Is Charged Duo

GOLDSBORO, N. C. (AP) -Two former federal narcotics agents will be tried in Wilson on bribery charges resulting from an investigation that started in New York 10 months ago.

Richard N. Patch, 38, of Independence, Mo., and Dennis J. Hart, 37, of Springfield, III., were arraigned before a U. S. commissioner in Goldsboro Friday on charges of accepting a bribe and conspiracy to solicit a bribe.

Commissioner Jack Wright said they waived preliminary hearing and were released on bonds of $4,000 each for appearance in U. S. Eastern District Court at Wilson. The next term at Wilson begins March 16.

Wright said the two were charged after an investigation by Inspector John E. Thompson of the U. S. Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Wright, the narcotics bureau in Washington, and a spokesman for the U. S. attorneys office in Raleigh declined to say when and where Hart and Patch were arrested.

A spokesman for the bureau said Patch was discharged as an agent for misconduct May 23. 1%9. He said Hart left the narcotics bureau Dec. 6 to work for the Internal Revenue Service, but has since been dismissed from the IRS.

Tons Of Snow Dissolved By Rain; Floods Spread

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Torrents of rain dis.solving tons of snow have sent normally placid streams and rivers surg ing from their banks forcing hundreds of mountain residents to flee their homes in Virginia. West Virginia. Tenne.ssee and Kentucky.

Tennessee authorities report ed three dead as a result of flooding Tuesday.

The rains, pounding some areas for three days, pushed creeks out (rf their banks and into the streets of a number of small towns in Virginia and water was creeping into several others in West Virginia.

Hardest hit by the flooding appeared to be Lee and Wise coun ties in Virginia and areas along the Cumberland River in Kentucky, where 200 persons were evacuated from their homes by National Guardsmen Virginia State Police said Lee County was nearly isolated with all transportation arteries severed by flooding and landslides In Pennington Gap, rescuers braved driving rain and dark ness during the night to steer refugees from flooded areas A number of persons were rescued from atop their cars, stranded in the middle of flood ed highways.

Small mountain hamlets in all four states were evacuated Scores of upriver homes were reported flooded to window level

by late Tuesday and many large communities downstream in the path of rising waters were put on evacuation alert for this afternoon

National Guardsmen, Civil I)ef(ii.se officials and others were sent scurrying to build dikes and sandbag barricades to help (end off the oncoming high water

Coal mint*s in the Virginia mountains were closed down

Unacceptable

GREENSBORO (AP) - Owners and operators of 51 North Carolina nursing homes have threatened to turn away welfare patients and evict those now in their homes when the Medicaid program goes into effect Thursday.

The owners, in refusing to cooperate with the Medicaid program, said they object to an "allowable cost formula, which will be used to reimburse them for Medicaid patients. *

The homes, members of the North Carolina Nursing Home Association, voted Tuesday not to cooperate with Medicaid.

Representatives of the homes said the formula would not provide enough funds to cover operating costs and therefore would cut profits.

The North Carolina Social Services Department would determine the allowable cost. C. J. Blanchard of Greensboro, president of the association, said the state department has "failed to develop a payment plan acceptable to nursing home owners and administrators.

He said because of the failure, patients will be denied services they badly need.

TOKYO (UPI)-Is there any hope for better understanding between Japan and the United States when the Japanese insist that seaweed is edible, yet throw away turnip greens?

Differences over trade policies, the status of Okinawa and the United States-Japan security treaty fade into insignificance when one considers the great gap that separates the tw,o nations in food tastes.

Is mutual cooperation between Japan and the United States really possible when Japanese cooks insist that fried eggs be cool before serving them?

Americans do not often complain about such typically Japanese fare as raw fish, and many of them learn to like it.

But when a Japanese short-order cook splashes soy sauce on a so-called American hamburger that has been shamelessly cut with fish meal.

bridges of understanding between the two nations begin to crumble.

Americans arent the only Westerners who are dismayed by what the Japanes have d(me to their national specialties. You drnit have to be an expert on spaghetti to know that no Italian would recognize some of the glop that passes for it in restaurants here.

One of the more incredible items sold in Japanese pastry shops appears to be (there are reasonable Umits to journalistic research) a hot dog bun filled with globs of whipped cream. Despite the origin of the components, the Occident is in no way to blame for this gastronomical disaster.

Nor should the West bear any responsibility for whajt the Japanese have done to icea cream, which in Japan is a cyclamatically sweet concocshon devoid of any recognizable trace of butterfat.

The Japanese version of a sandwich is in fact a nonsandwich, the skimpy filler of which consists of such disheartening items as slices of cucumber as thin as rice paper.

The best advice for foreign tourists in Japan is to stick to such truly Japanese delicacies as tempura and sukiyaki, which most Westerners find delicious.

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N. C.~Wednesday/December 31, lf6>3Haooi War Machin Gared For Military Victory

By PETER ARNETT and HORST FAA8

SAIGON (AP) - North Vietnams war machine is fully geared against South Vietnahi and from all that is known Hanois intent is still total military victory.

As 1969 ends top-level analysis by intelligence officers indicates that troops and materials now being assembled at the bm-ders constitute more than just a show of North Vietnamese strength.

Intelligence men say plans made in Hand last March, six months before Ho Chi Minh died, cafl for yet another major winter-spring offensive.

Step one has been to set up supp^ bases outside Vietnam. Step two has been the attempt to put supplies ne|r future battlefields inside the country Step three, by the current analysis, is the infiltration of small bands,of troops. Step four will be the aittempt to mass into large military formations prior to a general attack.

The North Vietnamese seem to be keeping to schedule even though some of the steps have fallen short because of strong allied reaction. They are stockpiling more and they are on the move more than they ever were prior to the Tet attacks of 1968, says an American intelligence officer in the northern 1st

Corps. The amount of equipment they preposition on the battlefield will determine how large a force they can sustain."

In some places reconnaissance indicates the North Vietnamese regiments are about to take the last stfp of getting ready for battle.

The buildup reaches along the entire western border of Viet

nam. 700 miles from the Gulf of Siam to the demilitarized zone.

This threat more than anything else worries Ameribtn field commanders about getting sudden m^rs to withdraw from Vietnam.

All American combat divisions but one are deeply involved in todays prime military

mission of finding and preventing the North Vietnamese from penetrating the security sNeld that protects the poptilation.

The North Vietnamesa have two advantages they did ^t en-joy'when they geared up against the American troop escalation the mid-60s. At that time

RALEIGH (AP) - North Carolina Highway Commission Chairman Lauch Faircloth wants the new lift span bridge at Wilmington kept open to motor traffic during peak morning and evening hours.

Faircloth made his request in a letter to the commander of the Fifth Coast Guard District Portsmouth, Va. He asked

that the bridge be kept open from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

J. L. Norris, assistant chief engineer for bridges, said a few minutes delay during a heavy morning or evening hour could tie up more than 300 vehicles.

RALEIGH (AP) - North Carolinas draft calls in January and February will show a sharp increase over recent months.

State Selective Service officials said Tuesday the January induction quota for the state will be 405, compared with 261 in December. The quota for February will be 650.

Inductions for January will include calls for men with draft lottery numbers 1 through 29.

SAN CLEMENTE. Calif. (AP) Declaring that he arrived with a clean briefcase. President Nixon says hell make but one public appearance while in Californiato register as a local voter.

Leaving the slush and snow of Washington, Nixon flew here Tuesday with wife Pat and daughter Tricia for a holiday stay of a couple of weeks at their seaside home.

After Air Force One set down at Fll Toro Marine Air Station. Nixon told a welcoming crowd of several thousand;

While we are here well only participate in one public event. The three of us are going to register as voters in California, our home state.

In 1968, Nixon, his wife and Tricia cast absentee ballots as registered voters in New York. They have not voted since.

Having sold his Manhattan apartment, Nixon had a choice between establishing his voting residence here or in Key Bis-cayen. Fla., where he owns two adjoining houses. As had been expected, he has tipped the balance in favor oS his native California.

The President postponed the start of his holiday stay for four days and remained in Washington to settle major budget decisions. However, he said last week that some last minute budget matters would be handled here.

Nixon also brought with him about a score of bills passed by Congress in its final days before adjournment. These will require action while he is here.

Aides suggested Nixons principal preoccupation at San Clemente would be preparations for the State of the Union Mes-.sage he will deliver personally to Congress on Jan. 22.

Accompanying him here were Dr. Hertr>' A. Kissinger, his principal foreign policy advisor.

the

and John D. Ehrlichman,

No. 1 staff assistant in domestic policy field.

Two old friends also came along aboard Air Force One: Key Biscayne neighbor and friend C. G. Bebe Rebozo and Murray Chotiner, a key and sometimes controversial figure in Nixons Congressional and vice presidential campaigns. Chotiner now serves as chief counsel to Nixons special representative for trade negotiations. Chotiner is a Californian and simply hitched a ride home.

There had been some speculation that Nixon might attend Thursdays Rose Bowl game between Michigan and Southern California. However, it seemed more likely the chief executive would watch the contest on tele-vi.sion.

Nixon declined to pick the winner of Thursdays Cotton Bowl meeting in Dallas between Texas and Notre Dame. Having roused the ire of Penn State partisans by proclaiming Texas the nations No. l college football team after its victory over Arkansaswhich he witnessed Nixon remarked:

Id better quit while Im ahead.

their supplies were bombed from the time they were received at the H^hong docks. War for the soldi^ began when they boarded trucks to come . South.

With the U.S. bombing halt in effect since Nov. 1,1968, war for the North Vietnamese begins now only at the western edge of the demilitarized zone when they enter Laos.

The second advantage is that the North Vietnamese remain invulnerable in Cambodia, which borders much of South Vietnam.

Once they kept out of sight there. Today they have openly occupied whole border districts and are seemingly oblivious to complaints from Cambodias head of state. Prince Norodom Sihanouk. At least half all war supplies are believed landed by sea in Cambodia.

The new bases of Hanois forces have been built for more than one campaign, according to allied intelligence assessments. Their purpose seems to be to sustain the war for years. The intricate supply complex built into the jungled mountains along the Laotian frontier and at the western part of the DMZ may be so well fortified they could survive any conventional bombing should it be resumed.

The hotspots where action might be expected in the next few weeks reach from the ridge-lines of the DMZ. across the foothills (rf central Vietnam to the jungled war zones around Saigon and down to the tangled swamps of the U Minh forest.

According to the best information available, increased traffic has been reported north and west of the DMZ. The area has been humming with activity since September, one observer said. Here engineers have built their largest rear supply complex and as many as a thousand trucks may be working it. Even pipelines feed into the complex.

This base and a similar one to the southwest in Laos support 10 infantry and two artillery regiments. Some have flanked Vietnams two northern most provinces and are deployed in the hills. Their mission would be to infiltrate these provinces, terrorize the cities of Hue and QuangTri, attack weak outposts and raise as much havoc as possible.

The senior American officer in the northern area, Lt. Gen. Melvin Zais, is said to be concerned but not worried about plans for a winter-spring offensive. The allies claim more knowledge ^ enemy intentions than at any time iq the past.

We can take counteraction to all his moves, one officer said.

U.S.-Vietnamese patrols probe into Laos. Electronic sensor nets thrown over the jungle feed in details of enemy movement. Helicopter patrols spot-check information.

The Americans also have confidence in local militia forces

recruited from among the areas population of one million. These stand guard over the hamlets.

The North Vietnamese have no notion that the people wil! this time defend themselves, ah American adviser says.

At the DMZ the American 1st Brigade, 5th Mechanized Division and Vietnamese troopers train their ownand electronic eyes to the North An intelligence officer says: We do not feel that they will make a for mal invasion of the DMZ. Why would they subject themselves to that publicity?

But there remains the threat

of a thrust across the Ben Hai River border by a regiment intent on a hit-and-run attack Farther south, the populatioas of four coastal provinces are seemingly permanently threatened by the 2nd and 3rd North Vietnamese divisions that have been harassing cities and over runing district twns since 1966.

The 3rd Division specializes in wedging itself in with the population. Recently it was moving into Binh Dinh Province, where rapid strides have been made this year in pacification.

The U.S. 173rd Airborne Bri gade may face a tough w inter The 1st Marine Division and the U.S. Armys Americal Divi sion have their hands full keep ing the North Vietnamese out o the three provinces south of Da Nang. The problems are heightened by the presence of intact local Viet Cong units among, the population, such as the 48th Battalion that fights around the village of My Lai Then there is War Zone C. Nowhere in the country have the North Vietnamese made more attempts to battle and had more setbacks than in the famil iar battlegrounds northwest of Saigon which four divisions en ter from camps in the Cambo^ dian sanctuaries.

South Vietnamese are being worked into this gruelling jol), but in this area it is hard to find evidence they are anywhere near capable of handling it alone if the North Vietnamese keep up what looks like a suicid al posture.

The brigade commander says: We are grinding them down and they are getting lower and lower. But by available reckoning there are still 6..5(K) guerrillas in Long An, unchanged from two years ago, And as many Viet Cong batta lions remain in Dinh Tuong Province as there were before the Americans came. The five mobile Viet Cong battalions have won most of the battles

against the 7th Vietname^ Infantry Division since the U.S. 9th Division was withdrawn last summer. Half the enemy soldiers are reported to be North Vietnam^.

All over the country, intelligence reports suggest, Hanois troops can be expected to push harder as their supply bases improve ahd come into full operation.

To counter these moves American forces and some elite Vietnamese units are using sophisticated tactics and equipment that require a high degree of individual professionalism.

American field officers interviewed across the country express doubt that the Vietnamese

will be ready for years to take care of their bmders by themselves. Vietnamese field officers say they will do their part, but that they cant do |it all.

Hope For Postal Corporation

There appeara to be a ray of hope that a postal corporation plan may become a fac^ even after the plan appeared to be dead a few weeks back. i A compromise, hacked by the White House, may have broken the deadlock which threatened to block the creation of a corporation which could put the Post Office Department on a more bu8ine8s*like basis.

The compromise linl^ a projected 11.1 percrat pay hike for portal employes with a postal authority that would:

mainU|in dvil service status for federal employes.

The Associated Press reports there are indications that agreement is so close ttot creation of a semi-indepen^nt postal corporation is a good possibility next year.

If so, this is good news indeed for the American public. Even if it means higher postal rates this authority could set about improving the system and cutting the deficit which ran to $1.2 billion last year.

The administration. Congress and the postal unions should do all in their power to bring about a postal corporation or auttmrity. Adequate mail service is essential to the nation; and at the same time some action must be taken to reduce the staggering deficit which the department is running up each year.

We believe the postal authority will go a long way toward taking the Post Office Department out

An 'Inventory' By The State

By WILLIAM A. SHIRES RALEIGH-The time has arrived to take inventory.

This is just what state government officials have been doing. And they are reporting results in a series of exhaustive reports to the people being written about, broadcast and televised over a span of4^ree days prior to the beginning of a new decade.

WILLIAM

SHIRES

It is a novel and imaginative way of telling the people of North Carolina what their state government is doing, what it has accomplished and what it hopes are for the future.

In political convention parlance. Gov. Bob Scott was the keynote speaker and also, of course, the permanent chairman.

And in his keynoter, an overall summary, he njade this pointNorth Carolina has taken big steps, strides; he is proud of the progress but not it must run.

Momentum Looking ahead to the 1970s, Scott said we are gathering momentum and moving forward. . .

The future is challengii^, he said, This is no longer the age of the washboard or the steam locomotive. It is the age of the computer, of landing on the moon.

To stand still is to stagnate. But North Carolina is not standii^ still. And it is not stagnating.

Reports During the three days of year-end reports beginning Monday, 29 department and agency heads in the executive branch of government presented

summaries.

The format did not include members of the Council of State who are elected officials and who administer broad, wide - ranging departments in the executive branch. Instead, the governor with increased powers granted by the 1969 General Assembly called on his own team of appointed and career (rfficialsthe first. Revenue Commissioner I. L. Clayton, and the second. Director of Administration, Dr. William Turner.

Scott noted that he had sought the advice and counsel of members of the Council of State, and, in fact, gone outside state government at times to seek advice from other experts especially on economic matters.

But the fact is that all of the reports had to the flavor of the one-year old Scott administration. In effect they painted a picture of the Scott administrations further goals and ambitions.

Bragging Naturally the reports contain a good deal of what might be called bragging, especially about the past year.

Scott said, I look back and view the first year of my administration without apolo^, but with a feeling of accomplishment and progress.

He talked about the highest employment record in North Carolinas history2.2 million workerswith an average wage of nearly $106 per week.

He called attention to more than $600 million in industrial investment committment during 1969 which would create 30,000 new jobs.

But as in several of the summaries, Scott interpolated and put in the fact that the states per capita income remains low. In only nine states is it lower. It was here that Scott said We have taken a step, now we must run.

Science Proves tong Suspicion About Noise

Science has discovered .what many a harrassed parent of teenagers has known for some time-that noise is injurious to health.

One of the noises cited by specialists is that of rock and roll music, although this is not the only culprit. Sonic booms and other everyday noise are also causing health problems.

Modem day music is the one that most parents are most aware of, however, and many parents have been hoping for verification of their suspicions on the matter.

Some of the problems of too much noise may be heart attacks, high blood pressure, damage to unborn babies, disorders of nerves and glands, irritability, tensions and hearing loss.

The solution, according to health scientists, is to quiet down. And that is some advice that we would like to see followed.

Cannibalism In Demo Purge

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK

WASHINGTON - The dominant mood of a marathon, often helter-skelter, strategy meeting of leR-of-center politicians Dec.

19 in Manhattan was a cannibalistic desire to purge Democrats who fall short of purity on the Vietnam issue.

Although a few hard-headed liberals present protested that the priority for 1970 is to save liberal Democratic incumbents from Republican challenges, the real enthusiasm was to remove from public life errant Democrats ranging from big city Congressmen to Hubert H. Humphrey and Adlai Stevenson III.

This reflected the attitude the chief sponsor of the meeting; Prof. John Kenneth Galbraith of Harvard. Originally scheduled for his home in Cambridge, Galbraith shifted the meeting when he found he had to be in New Yorkto the apartment of journalist activist Gloria Steinem. His purpose was to assemble anti-war politicians to plan for the 1970 campaigns.

What should be done, in Galbraiths view, is to oppose undesirable incumbents rather than support desirablesa major shift in emphasis. Thatsameapude was widely shareclTat the^ meeting in Miss Steinems i apartment, including mpport from Robert F. Kennedys two leftish folmer aides, Peter Edelman and Adam Walinsky.

In the meandering discussion, the undesirables turned out to be mainly Democrats. There was debate whether to waste time and money going into Charleston, S. C., to challenge right-wing Democratic Rep. L. Mendd Rivers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

However, there was unanimous determination to make major purge attempts against two senior Congressional Democrats Reps. John J. Rooney of Brooklyn and Philip J. Philbin of Massachusetts despite their long libo-al records on bread - and -butter issues. Specifically, the Galbraith meeting agreed to seek a single primary opponent against both Rooney and Philbin.

Similarly, there was a c(msensus that any primary

Strength For Today

The Uncommitted Hand Centuries ago when missionaries went among the barbaric tribes of western Europe and converted whole nations, baptism of thousands of people at one time was a common occurrence.

The missionaries found that many of these barbarians insisted on keeping their right hands out of the baptismal water when they were phinged beneath its surface. They were willing to become Christjans in every respect save onethey wanted their strong right arm left free to kill enemies and to deal with whatever they considered unjust This spirit has by no n^ns left the world. We are often J unwilling to forgive or to be

opponent should be strongly supported against two Senators with nearly flawless domestic leberal recwds Henry M. Jackson of Washington and Gale McGee of Wyoming. Said Galbraith: Scoop Jadcsm b one of my best friends. (Pause.) Thats what pditicians say when they are about to stab somebody in the back. He then urged a primary effwt against Jackson.

Although the one fat cat present (carrying financing hedges of $100,000) was a Humphrey man, the prevailing view was to encourage primary opposition to Humphreys Senate bid in Minnesota. Even more startling was the opinion, unchallenged by anybody, that Stevensons Senate bid in Illinois should be opposed although he is a dive on Vietnam because of his opposition to the extremist led Nov. 15 march on Washington and his new alliance with Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago. Nobody at the Galbraith meeting had bothered to learn that the Illinois filing date had passed without serious opposition against Stevensm.

There were some responsible dissents to this rampant cannibalism. Sam Brown, leader of the 1968 McCarthy youth movement and now chief spokesman for the a nti-Vietnam moratnium, suggested that saving friends in Congress has a much higher priority than quixotic thrusts at invulnerable enemies. Much the same tactical preference was made by Russell

Hemenway of the National Cwnmittee For an Effective Congress and Rep. Allard K. Lowenstein of New Ymk.

Another difference between Galbraith and Brown was revealed when Brown

suggested that m<^torium activists not be sent to help any candidate unless

requested. Gently chiding Brown (more than 30 years his junim*) for insufficient radicalism, Galbraith insisted that selected candidates ought to be helped whether they want it or not.

A footnote: Although the war was made the sole

criterion for support or opposition, nobody at the Galbraith meeting could deny that, for now. President Nbcon has both the initiative and heavy public support on Vietnam.

The Great Data Famine

WASHINGTON - One of the major problems we face in the 1970s is that so many computers will be built in the next decade that there will be a shortage of data to feed them.

Prof. Heinrich Applebaum, director of the Computer Profileration Center at

Grogbottom, has voiced concern about the crisis and has urged a crash program to produce enough data to get our computers through the Seventies.

Preparing For Crop

(Henderson Dtepatch) Flue-cured tobacco growers turn the comer into a new year with a degree of misgivings and uncertainty as to prospects for the 1970 crop. Acreage allotment and quotas as to poundage have been cut by the U. S. Department of Agriculture by five percent under 1969, but carryover of unmarketed quotas from the last crop will (rffset much of that, though the exact effect is not immediately clear.

It has been said that production of flue-cured tobacco is virtually a thirteen - mmfth job. Hardly has one crop been disposed of until preparations are begun for the next one. As of now, plantbeds are being staked off and in many instances being treated for insects and diseases preliminary to seeding. That will be a little later in the winter, of course, but it is a chore that is giving producers some concern.

Growers have been advised by local county offices of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service as to acreage allotments and poundage quotas on just what they are entitled to plant. Where there is question as to accuracy, the grower confers with ASCS officials as to his allowance and if adjustments are required they are made promptly.

Overall flue-cured marketings in 1969 were sixne greater than the year before. Price supports were sligtkly higher, and will be still higher

in 1970 after adjustments for cost of farm purchases.

There is, however, the uncertain trend in manufacture and sale off cigarettes, and consumption, by reason of constantly increasing taxes and the smoking - health crusade. Effect of these conditions will almost certainly be a facto* in price trends for^ the next crop.

Many States in 1969 increased their excise levies on cigarettes, and that and the health scare appear to be making some slight inroads on output of the tobacco industry. Some major companies bought as much leaf last fall as ever, indicating no serious alarm on their part as to the future of the industry. Tobacco is not going to pot immediately, and probably never, but it will not be because its enemies are not throwing every possible obstacle into its path, for they are.

The average grower will probably plant as much tobacco in 1970 as permitted under the agriculture act. He will assume whatever ri^s with which he is confronted.

Barring unfavorable weather conditions during the growing period of summer and early autumn, the 1970 crop will hardly be five percent under 1969 allotments and quotas, due to the carryover of unmarketed leaf in 1969. Also barring unforeseen developments, yields may in the end compare favorably with the past season.

fast period of time. But if our figures are correct, every last bit of data in the world will have been fed into a machine by Jan. 12,1976, and an information famine will follow, which could spread across the wwld.

It sounds serious, I said.

It is serious, he replied. Man has created his own monster. He never realized when he invented the c(mi-puter that there would not be enough statistics to feed it. Even now, there are swne computers starving to death because there is no information to put into them. At the same time, the birth rate of computers is increasing by 30 percent a year. Barring some sort of worldwide holocaust, we may soon have to find data for 30,000,000 computers with new ones being bom every day.

You make it sound so frightening.

It is frightening, Prof, Applebaum said. The new generati(Mi of computers is mn-e sqihisticated than the older generation, and the computers will refuse to remain idle just because there is nothing to compute, analyze or calculate. Left to their own devides, the Lord only knows what they will do.

Is there any solution, professor?

New sources of data must be found. The government must expand, and involved studies must be thought up to make use of the computers talents. The scientific community, instead of trying to solve problems with computers, must work on finding problems for the

Well, it was a corker-a U-inch incision, more than 100 stitches. If youll just hold my cane and let me get a firm grip on your lapels. Ill teU you the whole storyright from the horses mouth.

To begin with, Id Ifce to deny the malicious office gossip that my injury last Nov. 5 happened while 1 was sprinting up Broadway trying to get a better view of a girl in a miniskirt It was a rainy day, and as any middle-aged girl watcher knows, it is pointless to try to indulge his hobby in the rain. The moisture fogs up his bifocals.

The fact is that, emer^ng from a Chinese restaurant with a stomach full of egg foo yung and fortune cookies, I saw an empty cab across the street To catch a cab on a rainy day is every New Yorkers lifelong dream. So I headed for it full steam.

I dont know whether it was the extra weight of the egg foo yung or the fOTtune cookies, but halfway across the street I felt something snap in my right calf with a sound like the ripping of a sail in the wind.

For two werics I was bedfast at home with a 1^ swollen to the size of Jackie Gleasons girth. When I finally was able to hobble to an orthopdist, he told me I had tom loose muscles, tendons and ligaments in the calf, and that they required an immediate job of needlepoint or people would be calling me gimpy for the rest of my Hfe.

Well, after 12 days, they threw me out of the hospital, cast and all. I had to two-stick it out on crutches.

I could have let you stay a couple more days, said the doctor, but the porter on the floor refused to mop your ixxmi longer because you bragged so much about your operation he couldnt keep his mind on his work.

But it was an unusual operation, I argued. Didnt you say it took more than a hundred stitches and that you had to make a 13-inch incision? (Continued On Page 5)

The program was launched five years ago by President Johnson on the suggestion of John W. Gardner. It has been praised by President Nixon as an example of tremendous foresight and per

ception. SuiqxNrters of the program have said that more must be done in the development of our ablest young people to inspire and facilitate the emergence of such leaders and statesmen as the American colonies produced in Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, and their like.

Graduates of the program now number 86, including participants who were corporate executives, in- ^

dependent businessmen, engineers, lawyers, and teachers, among others. Finalists in the 1969 national competition added 18 more to the elite group who have variously served as special assistants to menttiers of the Presidents staff and Cabinet, and with the Vice Presic^t.

Search is now on for those who will get this opportunity for observaLl^on and involvement at the top level of national affairs, beginning September 1970.

1968 Open Housing Law Will

Tho Dally flaflecUir, Greenville, N. C

Be Fully Effective Tomorrow

Big "Punch Is Carried.

By G. C. THELEN Jr.

AMociilcd Prctt Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The 1968 open bousing law becomes fully effective Thursday, buttressed by a pledge of vigorous 'enforcement from the Depart- , ment of Housii^ and Urban Development.

On New Years Day, appraxi-mately 34 million sii^family homes will be added to the 20 million apartments, multi-family houses, and new subdivision homes already covered by the ' first two stages of the fair housing statute.

We intend to demonstrate to the people that we really intend to enforce the statute," said Samuel J. Simmons, assistant ' HUD secretary for equal opportunity.

Simmmis pledged HUD in 1970 would at least double the 16 pattern or practice" housing^ discrimination cases referred to the Justice Department for prosecution in 1989. Eight suits were subsequently filed.

Pattern or imctice" cases can involve such things as a real estate brokers association that deliberately steers Negro homeowners away from certain neighborhoods or an apartment house owner who shuns black applicants.

Simmons also plans a stepped-up education campaign that he expects will lead to a substantial increase over the 927 individual complaints fs'ocessed by HUD this year.

Of these, there have been 94 successful conciliations where many minority persons got the identical or similar house or apartment they were at first denied, he said. Damages also were paid in some of the cases.

Combined with a 1968 Supreme Court ruling, the fair housing act gives the government enforcement power over virtually all racial discrimination in the sale, rental, advertising, and financing of housing. But HUD farms out individual complaints to nine states with federally acceptable open housing laws and enforcement.

Excluded from the housing

law are approximately 15 million units. These include owner-occupied, two-to-four apartment dwellingsthe so<alled Mrs. Murphys boarding house" exemptionand single family homes sold or rented by the owner without a broker and without discriminatory advertising.

However, some of these 15 million probably are covered by last years high court ruling that an 1866 federal act outlaws racial discrimination in all housing without exception, Simmons said.

The 1968 Housing Act was timed so that only units built

with federal assistance were covered in the first year. Approximately 20 million units of multi-family and new subdivision housing were added automatically a year ago.

The act outlaws the denial of housing rentals, sales, financing, and brokerage service because of race, color, religion, or mail.

HONORARY MAYOR HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Peter Graves of televisions "Mission: Impossible has been made honorary mayor of Pacific Palisades, Calif.

By DONALD M. MCNICOLL LONDON (AP) - Why do the Israelis seem so detemiined to get gunboats, a weapon regarded by most navies a few yean ago as obsolete? ^

The answer-thanks to advances in armament technique and miqsilcs-is that a gunboat can nnount a tremendous punch agginst ihuch larger wanhips at comparatively little cost.

The gunboat revival is a Soviet idea, Raymond V. B. Blackman, the editor of Janes Fighting Ships, said today.

Blacknuin, whose nmssive annual is a standard woit of reference on the worlds navies, said: The Russians recognized some years ago the possibilities that opened up if they could pack a really massive punch into the small but speedy gunboat

The Russians solved the proble^ and ,produced two classes, the Osa and the Komar. There are 75 Osas and 50 Komars. Now, because of the Russians, other nations siich as Israel have gone in for gunboats.

Why dont the Americans and the British do the same?

Blackman gave this answer: A modern gunboat is really a motor torpedo boat armed with missiles instead of or in addition to torpedos. The Americans have so many missile warships that they dont seem to feel the

need to bother about gunboats, and the British do not seem to be very quick in'taking up the idea.

The 1888-70 edition of Janes FightiiM Ships Hsled the IsraeU gunboats as higlwspeed, new-censtniction Saar type, with French hulls and scheduled to have Italian electronic equipment

Their vital statistics were given as: 220 tons standard displacement, 240 tons full load, 147.8 feet long.

Tobacco Is Dethroned

RALEIGH (AP) - Livestock and livestock producfo, including poultry, forged well ahead of tobacco as the top source of income for North Carolina farmers during 1989.

This was indicated 'Tuesday by estimates and projections compiled by The News and Observer of Raleigh with the assistance of Olaf Wakefield, acting head of the statistics division of the states Department of Agriculture.

The preliminaryfigures indicate cash receipts from livestock and livestock products increased from $506 million in 1968 to an estimated $570 million this year.

No breakdown of the $570 million is available but it is estimated that poultry accounted -for some $333 million or more of the total.

Tobacco income to producers of flue-cured and burley leaf during 1969 toUled $515.4 million, a gain of $71 million over

Saigon Readies To Host Agnew; News Blackout

SAIGON (AP) Saigon prepared today to receive Vice President Spiro T, Agnew as it did President Nixon five months ago. but this time Saigon Radio isnt expected to break the communications blackout imposed for security reasons during the visit.

Informants said the vice president, who is making a 10-nation tour of Asia, would arrive from the Philippines either late tonight or early Thursday. New Year's Day.

There were indications he would remain about 10 hours, meeting U.S. and South Vietnamese leaders and making at least one visit to U.S. troops outside Saigon.

The Radio Corporation of America said in New York Tuesday night that its transmissions from Saigon would be shut down for about 10 hours beginning at 5 a.m. EST. But a few hours later it said it had infor

mation Agnew s departure from Manila had been delayed^until Thursday morning and the blackout had been postponed.

When Nixon came to Saigon last July .30, most communication circuits used by newsmen were cut off during his five-hour stay. American correspondents were threatened with revocation of their credentials if they evaded the blackout to report the visit while it was on.

In the midst of the blackout, however, the South Vietnamese governments Saigon radio announced Nixons arrival and reported what he did, including his lengthy meeting with President Nguyen Van Thieu.

Embarrassed U.S. officials later apologized to American newsmen and said the broadcast resulted from a misunderstanding However, a South Vietnamese (rfficial indicated his government decided to make the broadcast for political rea-

U.S. officials have assured newsmen there will be no such broadcasts if a news blackout is imposed during Agnews visit. There has been no comment from South Vietnamese officials.

Winding up his visit to the Philippines, the Vice president discussed U.S.Philippine economic and military relations with President Ferdinand E. Marcos. He also presented him slivers from the moons surface and pictures of the Philippines that the Apollo 11 astronauts took last July.

Grocer, Bandit ExchangedShots

BURLINGTON, N.C. (AP)-A grocer and a bandit exchanged gunfire Tuesday night after the bandit robbed the Burlington grocer and his wife of $4,500 with a sawed-bff shotgun. No one was shot.

'Hie grocer. Dace Crawford, told police the bandit, wearing a stocking over his head, ap-IM-oached him and his wife after they closed the C&W Grocery and were walking to their car.

Crawford said the man fled around the store after taking the money. He added he chased the man, pulled a pistol from his pocket and fired and the bandit fired back but kept running.

Police brought bloodhounds to the store but the bandit got away.

RALEIGH (AP) - Gov. Bob Scott said today he is confident the North Carolina Housing Corp. will succeed and help meet the need for low-income housing for poor families.

Housing is jusst as much the states business as highways, education, health and law enforcement, Scott said in the third part (rf his three-day report to the people.

The governor cited accomplishments in North Carolina during 1969 to provide low-income housing, but he said 400,000 citizens, or 8 per cent of the states population, are living in substandard housing.

Scott expressed hope that the states Supreme Court will rule that the legislative act creating the Housing Corp. is constitutional.

Superior Court Judge James H. Pou Bailey recently ruled the act unconstitutional. The 1969 General Assembly passed the act which authorizes the corporation to issue $200 million in bonds for a low-cost housing program for North Carolinas poor.

At no tim will the corporation provide financial assistance when private funds are available, Scott said in his prepared report on housing.

He added, It will not be a_ "give-away program of your tax dollars ... in a year to 18 months from now, we expect that it (the c(M*poration) will be on its feet and entirely self-sustaining.

The corporation plans to finance homes in the $8,000 to $15,000 range.

Scott said the response to the prop(Bed housing program has been enthusiastic. During the next two months, he said, Joe Eagles, executive director of the corporation, and his staff will hold 21 area meetings across the state to explain the program. Thirteen meetings have already been held.

Status Offered Children, Too

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -Kentucky school children can boast a status almost equal to their parents on honprnry awards.

The parents may get Kentucky Colonel commissions, but the little folk are eligible for Honorary Page commissions from the General Assembly.

House Speaker Julian Carroll estimates he has signed at least 20,000 page commissions since the 1968 session.

Scott noted that during the past year the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approved $218 million for low-income housing in North Carolina. He said this should provide about 13,500 new housing units.

The governor pointed out there are 48 local housing authorities in North Carolina, more than twice as many as we had a year ago .. during 1%9, appr(wimately $40 million went for low - income housing in our rural areas.

Scott cited what he termed a brutal example of what substandard housing can mean for a family. He said that one night last summer in High Point a man and his wife put their 6-month-old twin daughters to bed, and then the couple fell asleep in the same room.

In the middle of the night, the parents were awakened. Their infant daughters were crying. Scott said, both of them had been chewed upon by rats.

This, I remind you, happened in, our sixth largest city. And it happened this year not back during the Depression, he added.

maintained the state needed new taxes, not only for new programs, but to finance existing ones.

Calling on North Carolinins to show that tobacco is no longer king, the new governor asked for a nickel-a-pack cigarette tax and got one of the toughest legislative fights of th^ year.

Eastpm North Carolina legislators bucked Scotts leadership and ambushed his pr(q)osal in the House Finance Committee.

The committee refused to send Scotts request to the full House for a vote.

Scott then offered a series of compromises, including a two-cent-per pack cigarette levy and a two-cent crown tax on soft drinks.

That package was accepted, and North Carolina became the last state to tax cigarettes. Merchants near the states borders began adding the words plus tax to their signs advertising

Bayh Cancels A Talk At Furman

GREENVILLE. S.C. (AP) -Citing legislative responsibilities, Sen. Birch Bayh. D-Ind., who opposed Senate confirma tion of Judge Clement Hayn-sworth for the Supreme Court, has canceled a speaking engagement at Furman University-

Last summer Bayh accepted an invitation to speak April .30 on civil disobedience as part of the universitys religion and life lecture series.

Bayh sent a letter to the universitys chaplain Monday saying- that he would be unable to keep the date.

Recently, there were reports that Furman was being pressured to withdraw the invitation because Bayh led the Senate attack on Haynsworths nomination.

But Haynsworth, Chief Judge of the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., insisted the school, founded by Haynsworths family, honor the invitation.

low cigarette prices.

The outcome was coitsidered a victoiy. for Scott; However, state Republicans, mipdful of inroads made by the GOP in the South, promised to remind vot-ere in 1972 which party was re-spoiteible for the taxes.

Negro unrest in state colleges during 1969 shocked North Carolinians, who felt their state was immune to such violence although North Carolina was, in a sense, the birthplace of modern student activism.

More than 10 years ago, several black students from predominantly Negro North Carolina A&T State University sat down at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro in the first major student entry into the civil rights movement

Violence was touched off at A&T last May by an incident at a Negro high school in Greensboro. High school officials refused to allow Claude Barnes to run for student body president because, they said, his grades were too low. Barnes said officials didnt approve of a group to which he belonged.

Barnes supporters staged a demoastration, which brought police to the high school campus. City educators obtained a court order barring a number (rf A&T studentsthoughMo be instigators of the demonstration from the school ground.

A&T students and their sympathizers held their own demonstrations near the university campus. Police said there was sniper fire, and Gov. Scott summoned the National Guard.

Repeated gunfire, either from students or outsiders, prompted

the governor to order the ca^ pus cleered. In a predawn raid, guardsmen swept over the grounds behind nausea gas and rifle bullets.

The only casualty of the A&T strife was a student, 20-year-<dd Willie Grimes, whom friends described as a quiet, studious boy. His body was found in a clump of bushes after one of several nights of violence.

Judge May Skip Jury Selection

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Supe-rior CoUrt judges in civil suits may be spared what, for them, is largely a ho-hum process of watching jury selectionif a novel experiment works out.

The plan, scheduled to be tried starting Monday, involves selection of jurors with no judge present in instances when both sides are ready for trial but' must wait for an available court.

Presiding Judge Joseph A. Wapner says the program not only will bring cases to trial more promptly but should save hundreds d judicial hours each month.

Robert C. Nye, a Superior Court commissioner, will have direct supervision of the operation whereby the interrogatjpn of prospective jurors will go on in four chambers set up next to the civil master calendar court.

Proceedings thus can be conducted in four cases simultaneously and, when a trial court becomes available, testimor^ can start at once.

Run Over By Pumper Truck, Fireman Killed

GREENSBORO (AP) - A Greensboro fireman was killed Tuesday night as he either slipped or stepped off an engine which had stopped to back up.

He was Fireman 2-C Jesse C. Ray. 26, of Rt. 2, McLeafisv'ille. He had been a fireman in Greensboro for 6*2 years.

FT. HOOI^, Tex. (AP) - S. Sgt. David Mitchells commanding officer issued orders today to court-martial the sergeant on charges of assault with intent to commit murder during the alleged My Lai massacre in Vietnam last March.

The charges contend that Sgt. Mitchell fired a rifle at a group of Vietnamese civiliai.

The order followed widespread investigations, including a lengthy secret session by officers in a room deep in the Pentagon.

Mitchell in a hews conference this month said that he saw no massacre at My Lai.

The sergeants immediate superior, Lt. William L. Calley Jr., had been charged with premeditated murder.

The decision to court-martial Mitchell was made by Maj. Gen. John K. Boles Jr., commander of the 1st Armored Division stationed here.

A Ft. Hood spokesman said that Mitchell will remain free pending his trial and that he will continue his duties as a company non-commissioned officer at this sprawling post in Central Texas.

The general, in a formal statement, said no date for the court- martial has been set. A date, he said, will depend on when the prosecution and defense lawyers are ready.

The generals statement hinted that secret military information may be brought up at the court-martial, for he said the panel hearing the testimony could ban spectators when necessary to "prevent unauthorized disclosure of classified security information."

The charges said that the alleged assault was committed on 30 persons "more or less. Mitchell, 29. is from St. Fran-cisville. La., and said he is a career soldier.

He told newsmen at the Pentagon last Saturday that, "I am not guilty.

The charge and specifications: "Violation of Article 134 in that S. Sgt. David Mitchell, United States Army Co. C, 5th Battalion, 6th Infantry, 1st Armored Division, Ft. Hood, Tex., did at My Lay (Son My village) Quang Ngai Province, Republic of Vietnam on or about 16 March, 1968 with intent to commit murder commit an assault upon a group of 30 Vietnamese nationals, more or less, by shooting at them with an M16 rifle.

Packages OKd By North Viets

By LEWIS GULICK Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - North Vietnam apparently is planning to allow for the first time a regular mailing of packages to U.S. prisoners of war from their families, at a rate of one package to each POW every two months.

In reporting this, government officials here said U.S. postal arrangements have been made to receive the packages from next of kin for shipment to Hanoi. They assume the first month for the regular mailings will be next February.

Speculation here is that Hanoi is making this move as parCof an effort to allay international criticism. It recently has started providing some families with information on whether men believed held are dead w alive.

At the same time, U.S. officials are calling for the North Vietnamese todo much more to meet Geneva Convention terms for prisoner of war treatment.

In an unusual action, U.S. envoy Philip D. Habib handed enemy negotiators in Paris Tuesday a list of 1,406 American servicemen missing in action in Southeast Asia and called on the North Vietnamese to "indicate which men are prisoners and those whom you know to be dead.

Washington information indicates more than 400 are held captive. Most are fliers downed during the U.S. bombing of

North Vietnam.

Despite the Geneva Convention stipulation that a prisoner list should be supplied, Hanoi has not done so to date. Nor has it allowed outside inspection of prisoner camps or regular mail.

U.S. officials said two American anti-war activists who recently returned from Hanoi reported that families of prisoners could send a letter a month and a package of less than six pounds every other month.

The mail is supposed to be addressed to the prisoner by name and serial number, care of Camp <rf Detention for U.S. Pilots Captured in the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam, Hanoi, DRVN, with the notation Via Mosco (cq).

Letters just arrived from some of the prisoners indicates they have been given similar information, the officials said.

Previously, Hanoi had allowed in packages for the prisoners only three times, they said: Christmas 1968, July 1%9 and Christmas 1969. The North Vietnamese have permitted families to send non-perishable foods, medicines and personal articles.

Letters to the men have been delivered intermittently.

Still unknown here is the prospect on letters from the prisoners. The number of letters arriving in this country has climbed in recent weeks, but some men known to be captives have yet to be heard from by mail.

First victim of the economy axe was NASAs ultra modern Electronics Research Center at Cambridge, Mass., a 29-acr complex of six buildings now nearing completion at a cost of $36 million.

Some 100 specialists in advanced electronics research already have been installed in the new facilities. An additional 750 are housed in temporary rented quarters. NASA had planned to invest about $60 million and employ several thousand persons to make this the heart of government study programs in the electronics field.

In its annual report earlier this year NASA credited the Cambridge center with:

Hoffa Asks President

ST. LOUIS (AP) - James R. Hoffas lawyer said today he has petitioned the Justice Department for presidential commutation of the eight-year sentence the Teamsters Union leader is serving at Lewisberg, Pa.

The attorney, Morris Shenker, said he knew nothing of reports that Hoffa associates had told the White House he would bare union pension fund operations and labor-related activities in organized crime if given his freedom.

Shenker said he filed the petition for a presidential commutation within the last three or four weeks but that as far as he knew the Nixon administration had taken no action on it.

Hoffas pight-year sentence at Lewisburg was for jury tampering. His application of parole was rejected in October.

He is also under five-year sentence in a Teamsters Union pension fraud case. That conviction has been appealed to the Supreme Court, which has yet to act.

NASA said the device should be useful in determining the best arrangements for cockpit instruments, in measuring mental alertness, in studying how children learn to read, and in gun and camera aiming systems.

Paine flew to Boston Monday to make the closure announcement.

Julian Scheer, NASA assistant administrator for public affairs, said the decision to shut down the colter was reached only last Saturday.

We decided to move quickly, and let the employes know of the decision, before they heard rumors about it, Scheer explained.

Scheer said it was certain additional changes would be made in NASA programs, but they are not to be announced until President Nixon has sent his budget to the Congress late in January.

He added that the prospective changes are related both to economies and to the re-orienting (rf the space program.

"In line with their findings, we are being forced to cut down ^road electronic research coverage and focus much more on the specific programs, and carry out the electronic research spe-cificaUy tied to the individual programs, Paine said.

As to the future of the Cambridge center, Paine said NASA would try first to determine whether other government! agencies could use the buildings.

If they cannot, he said, the structures will go on the auction block.

Francis W. Sargent, Republican governor of Massachusetts, has called the decision to close the center a major mistake.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Rep. Thomas P. ONeill, Massachusetts Democrats, said they would meet with Paine to oppose the NASA action.

Not so this winter. Weve found a salvation -one that sends you out to cool off in cool weather. Its called hockey.

The team is called the Des Moines Oak Leafs, buti they actually play in Urbandale, a suburb of Des Moines.

If that doesnt confuse you, the game will. The closest we had ever come to a hockey game was batting a beer can around a lake when we were in school in Missouri. J

More interesting than the game were the fans. Girls in mini-skirts and goose-pimpled legs, farmers in overalls, out-doorsmen in hunting jackets fans just about every shape and size in the book.

But, they all had one thing in common ..They could make a lot of noise, J|nd it was evident that the Oak Leafs were their teaml Now, the Oak Leafs arent what youd tail the top of the professional hockey stackin fact, theyre in the International Hockey League, just one or two jumps out of the amateur ranks.

When the guys in the green and white uniforms get clustered around that well padded fellow at the other end in a different color outfit, you jump up and yell your fool head off.

When you jump up and ydl your fool head otf, make sure you dont step on the cup of beer sitting under the seat next to you. or you dont empty yours down the back of the guy in front of you.

Really, its a crowd participation game. In a town where you couldnt draw a crowd of 300 people if you were giving away $1 bills, they pack 4,500 spectators into an ice arena with a seating capacity of 4,000.

When one person jumps up to yell, the whole crowd has to. Its like a can of sardines cheering on their favorite shark.

The newest addition to the NCNB family is an old maid of 38 years who had vowed never to marry. She now admits she hadn't realized what she was missing.

State Bank and Trust Co. of Greenville, in Eastern North Carolina, was born in 1931, organized to take over the assets of the defunct National Bankl^ which folded in the aftermath of the 1929 depression.

Greenville was described by George Washington as a dirty little town on the Tar river, but most of the people sent to Greenville by NCNB in the past several weeks say they would love to be transferred there.

State Bank really never wanted to merge with anybody. Let this be clearly understood. As a young girl, she enjoyed the privacy of her spinster apartment. She looked out on Five Points in the cool of the morning and watched the traffic. The people came in, passed the time of day, transacted their business and moved on up Main Street to touch base at the Post Office, the corner drug store, and the hardware store.

State Bank closed her doors tidily at the appointed hour each day, rinsed her stockings, hung them on the shower rod to dry and prepared for an evening with TV, uncomplicated by children, suitors or other disturbances.

Things changed in 1955 when Jack Marston, after 25 years with First & Merchants in Richmond, came to Greenville to lead State Bank, as her president, to the Promised Land. A city slicker by experience, he was basically a country boy, having come up the hard way, crabbing on the Rappahannock River. So Greenville took him in, and it wasnt long before he was whittling with the tobacco farmers in the morning and selling federal funds after banking hours.

Since then. State Banks resources climbed from $5 million to $20 million, and for the very good reason that people just liked to come th're and do business. There wis np p ire or hoopla exerted. It was just a matter of people finding out that this bank always seemed to find a solution tailor-made for their financial problems. But most of all, they enjoyed coming

there and talking.

They still enjoy coming, even more so now, because NCNB helps provide them with a wider range of services. The climate is still the same, the tellers still inquire about the sick baby at home, and the more knowledgeable customers discuss with the officers the state of the nation, the prime rate, the gold standard and the Dow Jones averages.

Let it be understood again, plainly. State Bank did not want to marry anybody. Who wants a man around to feed and water every day. leaving cigar butts in the ash trays and dirty clothes on the floor! Ugh!

What brought the NCNB merger to pass was a proxy fight centered around another bank which had bought a big block of State Bank stock in November. State Bank stockholders bowed their backs and voted overwhelmingly last January to re-elect the present management.

The wide publicity attendant upon the fact that the "old maid" had some charms leftas evidenced by the knocking on d(X)rs after dark, longdistance telephoning and even television programs designed and produced to break down resistancefocused some degree of attention on the little old lady at Five Points. She was besieged by a host of would-be partners and, therefore, decided not only to protect her virtue, but to do it in the most agreeable fashion.

She canvassed the field and selected the one with the largest resources, seasoned and specialized management and a stock which had the best in ready marketabilityand even some promise of being admitted to the "Big Board.

The rest of the story is well known. In May, State Bank shareholders voted overwhelmingly to merge with NCNB. So they became betrothed.

The wedding took place at 9 A.M. on Sept. 22. And if all mutual relationships in the future arc as pleasant as these past several weeks, a happy marriage is a likely prospect.

Those whom the Comptroller hath joined together, let no man put asunder!

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 31, 1969PrGtes Play Host To Georgia Southern

East Carolina University's Pirates hope to have a Happy New Year as they reopen Minges Coliseum Thursday, playing host to Georgia Southern.

And right on the heels of that, the Bugs start into the Southern Conference wars traveling to Washington, D.C., to face loop leader George Washington.

Weve spent the last two practices working on some things that were much needed. 1 thirdc the offense is going to be much more effective now, and our turnovers should decrease. We are used to playing against a press now, so this wont hurt us as badly, Coach Ton Quinn said.

Quinn also feels that the previously-poor foul shooting of the Pirates is about to c(ne to an end. Miller has improved, and a couple are starting to shoot more and better. I think four (rf our starters will be hitting 70 per cent of better before long.

Experience is also on the upswing. Joe Harvey, Lyn Green and Julius Prince got a lot (rf experience recently, and they have come along well. Im also pleased with the improvement in our overall floor shooting. Right now, its the ineffectiveness of our reserves that is pulling our average down in tluit deinrt-ment.

While Quinn hasnt received much information yet on Georgia Southern (assistant Kirk Stewart has been scouting them for the past two games and will give a report late today), he does know that they are nearly as tall as theBucs. Three of our next four opponents are in the conference. We are ready to get down to business, and we should be playing with more con-sistancy. Rebounding is still our strongest area, and its a great help.

The Colonials of George Washington are beginning to look like a team that might

challenge the Davidson Wildcats for the conference.^^lead. They have everyone back this year except Bob Tallent and Bob Strong, who graduated. The younger Tallent (Mike) is the conference sc(ing leader, and they have added Lennox Baltimore and Walt Szcerbiak from the bench. Bill Khorr and Ralph Barnett make up the rest of the starters.

While Tallent has been pop^ ping the nets for over 20 points per game, Szczerbiak is the man who has made the team come alive. He starting hitting in the West Virginia game, which the Colonials Inst, 90-89. In four games since then, hes averaged 22.3 points, and the GW team has marked up three wins, the latest on Tuesday night against William and Mary, 86-78. The win gives GW a 3-0 loop mark, and first place Szczerbiak scored 28 points in the win.

Missing from the starting lineup is a man whom the

Pirates knew well last year, Harold Rhyne, who nearly kept the Bucs out of the conference finals last season. But Baltimore has moved him out, and this makes the Colonials sound even more impressive.

it should be a real good game. It's part of a double-header, with the second game between Georgetown and Holy Cross. Theyll be played on the Georgetown court, so itll be a little better than playing at Ft.

Horsemen Remember Last Irish Trip

Trevathan Named As Second New Assistant

Henry

Trevathan, who won three consecutive 4A high school football championships at Wilsons Fike High School, has been named to the football staff at East Carolina University.

In making the announcement, new head Coach Mike McCJee said he is delighted with Trevathans decision to move into the college ranks.

He is truly one (rf the outstanding high school coaches in the cwntry and will be a tremendous asset to our staff, McGee said.

Trevathan, high school coach of the year in North Carolina for 1969, is the second new addition to the staff. He joins Jerry McGee, brother of the head coach who arrived on campus Monday and began immediately contacting the t(^ recruits in Ncxth Carolina.

McGee said Trevathans first coaching assignment will be with the quarterbacks in spring practice and then in the fall he will direct the freshman program. However, Trevathan will continue to work with the varsity as well.

Having a successful freshman program is essential to building a winning tradation and Im pleased to have a man with Henrys experience working in this area, McGee said.

Besides directing the freshman program he will continue to work closely with me during the fall as East Carolina installs a totally new offense.

Trevathan will continue his current duties at Fike High for a time yet to be determined, however, he plans to begin immediately to get involved in recruiting players for East Carolina.

A native of Tarboro, the 41-year-old Trevathan grew up in Fountain and gra(jluated from Virginia Episcopal. After three

years of pre-med study at the University of North Carolina, he entered East Carolina where he earned his degree in 1954 and then received his Masters the same year.

Before going to Wilson, Trevathan coached at Windsor, and Rocky Mount. When he took over at Wilson, the team had lost 28 games in a row. In his first three seasons as Fike, Trevathans teams compiled a 10-19-1 record. In the next three campaigns, Fike won 36 and lost three, climaxing its rise to power with a 13-0 record during the 1969 season.

I feel good about joining the staff at East Carolina, Trevathan said. I feel more than good about it. Im excited by the dynamic atmosphere and I feel good about working with and uhder Mike McGee.

Ive been caught up with the progress and strong positive attitudes. The potential is great. You have a chance here to go to work for the best.

Trevathan, whose brother is a pediatrician in Greenville, is married to the former Billie Jean Simpson of Greenville. They are the parents of Jean 15, Henry Jr. 12 and Lisa 2. .

By WILL GRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent DALLAS, Tex. (AP) The last Notre Dame football team to play in a bowl game spent two weeks getting from South Bend to Pasadena, Calif., and Knute Rockne blew his top because the players gorged themselves out of condition.

Rock got very irritable, Jim Crowley, one of the fabled Four Horsemen who helped crush Stanford 27-10 in the Rose Bowl 45 years ago, recalled Tuesday. He was mad because we were dined but not wined.

We went by bus by way of New Orleans, Houston and Tuc-swi and everywhere we stopped were feted by civic clubs. I remember at New Orleans we stuffed ourselves so much on oysters we couldnt move.

Finally, we got to Tucson, which was a cow town then. The Rock made us stay there a wedc. But he told us to be careful about reaching for a handkerchief or a billfold in our hip pockets. Somebody might interpret it as a draw and we might get shot.

Crowley and two other members of the backfield immortalized by sportswriter Grantland RiceDon Miller and Elmer Laydenflew into Dallas for Notre Dames Cotton Bowl battle thursday against No. 1 ranked Texas. The fourth member, Harry Stuhldreher, died in February, 1965.

The men whom Rice likened to the Four Horsemen of the ApocalypseWar, Famine,

Death and Pestilenceare now gray and plumpish, but still sharp and puckish in their remembrances.

Layden, 66. the fullback, is the grayest and slimmest, a transportation salesman now retired. Ive got so much nothing to do I cant get it all in, he says.

Crowley, 67, jowly, bespectacled and with a spreading paunch, is an industrial commissioner at Scranton, Pa. The other halfback. Miller, 67 and 188 pounds, is a U.S. district attorney in Cleveland.

Frequently thrown toother for occasions such as this, they are like a vaudeville team, swapping quips and insults with each other, telling vivid stories and demonstrating a rare and warm camaraderie.

Our ^ckfield averaged only 156 pounds, Miller recallted, and the line averaged 172 pounds.

Oowley, who later coached at

Michigan State and Fordham, remembered that one night on the trip he and end Ed Huntsin-ger were caught by Rockne at 9:55 p.m., five minutes before curfew, buying Christmas cards in a store.

Rock told us to go to our rooms and the next day lo get our tickets home, he said. But Adam Walsh pleaded their case and they were allowed to remain on the team.

At the start of the game, Huntsinger recovered a Stanford fumble and ran for a touchdown, Corwley reminisced. I told Huntsinger: Isnt it a good thing Rock didnt send us

home?

It was Rocknes wav of disci plining us-and scaring us, Layden said.

The Three Horsemen all paid high tribute to Ernie Nevers, the great Stanford fullback.

He would move the ball two or three yards every time he carried the ball. Miller recalled. Then wed stop him. Then Nevers threw one pass and Layden intercepted it and ran 70 yards for a touchdown Layden intercepted a second one and ran 80 yards. Layden scored another touchdown from the four

Carr Is MVP, But Roche Wins

By DAVE STEINBERG

Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS (AP)-Notre Dames Austin Carr was voted the outstanding player of the Sugar Bowl Tournament but John Roches six clutch free throws were the talk^-about shots in South Carolinas 84-83 overtime victwy Tuesday night for the championship.

The phenomenal Carr, the nations third leading scorer among the big coljeges, netted 43 points against the Gamecocks and wound up with a Sugar Bowl record of 70 points in the two-day tourney.

Roche, an All-American as a sophomore last year, was one of the use quintet trying to stop Carr, but the 6-foot-3 junior, a native of Washington. D.C., still made 19 of 24 field goals, and, during one spell, sank 14 consecutive shots.

What can you say about Carr? said Roche. "He was fantastic! This sounds funny but we feel we did a good job by holding him to just 24 shots. We were actually keying on him. He didnt have an easy shot all night.

Roche added: That has to be the best performance against us this year and the best Ive ever seen.

Roche, scoring leader of the third-ranked Gamecocks, was no slouch, though he was a long time in finding the range. The 6-3 junior and Bronx, N.Y., native shone in the critical last moments of regulatiwi play and in the overtime.

South Carolina had to play come-back ball midway in the

second half after taking a 41-34 intermission lead With 42 seconds left and Notre Dame ahead 73 71, Roche tied it on a 15-foot jumper. Then Carr took the ball and drove downcourt untouched for the up and an Irish lead again.

Fouled with 14 second remaining. Roche cooly sank two charity tosses and forced the game into overtime with the score 75 all.

In the overtime. Roche made six of his teams nine points, the last four coming at the foul line.

. . , That basket looked small on those free throws. Roche admitted. Anybody who tells you he doesnt feel the pressure is just lying. I think 1 played my worst game of the year and those free throws helped redeem me. "

Roche ended the night with 25 prints. However, team scoring honors went to Tom Hiker, a 6-10 sophomore from Hicksville. N.Y., with 36 points.

Riker. Roche lauded, kept us in the game He was just great.

Riker was South Carolina in the first half. He dropped in 25 points, most of them fed to him from outside men.

Thats what is great about this team. Riker nodded. Theyll pass to a guy if hes hot

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

George Washingtons basketball team, an early-season flop, has rioss(Nned into a late December success for a 6-footl, 5-inch reason that is more easily diagnosed than pronounced.

TTie reason is named Walt Szczerbiak, a junior from Pittsburgh who was a mite disappointing as a sophomore. Szczerbiak scored 1,238 points his last two years in high school but averaged only 4.8 for GW in 1968-69.

Tilings started off pretty much the same way for Szczerbiak this go-around. He scored 5 points in GWs first four games. The Colonials lost three. Then something happened and GW began its happy flip-flop.

It began innocently enough when Mr. S. banged in 15 points in a narrow 90-89 loss at West Virginia Hiis left the G)l-onials 1-4 over-all. In four games since, hes scored 89 points, and GW has won three times.

Szczerbiaks latest explosion came Tuesday night when George Washington clipped William and Marys Indians 86-78 with the newly dazzling junior throwing in 28 points. Hie victory upped GWs Southern CJon-ference record to 3-0 and gave the C:olonials the league lead for now, at least.

Nationally 11th - ranked Davidson is 2-0 in SC play, and the way the Wildcats have been acting, GW probably had better not lay too many plans predicated on remaining atop the standings.

Auburn-Houston Starts Marathon

By DICK JOYCE i AuMiated Prew SporU Wrtter

What are you doing New Years Eve?

Two sophomore quarterbacks who didnt figure on sUrting this season plan to light up the Astrodomes $2-million scoreboard when Auburn meets Houston tonight in the llth As-tro-Bluebonnet bowl.

It figures to be a 10-touch-down game with Pat Sullivan of Auburn and Gary Moon" Mullins of the host Cougars leading the way.

Both teams are high-scoring college football powers with 8-2 records and can explode on the ground and through the air. Houston, ranked No. 19, hw rolled up an average of 38.6 points a game this season; 12th-ranked Auburn 36,3.

Touching off this long week of football activity Tuesday night was the second Peach Bowl in Atlanta where another sophomore, Eddie Williams, pounded out the yardage to lead West Virginia to a 14-3 victory over ' South Carolina.

. But the Mountaineers 10th victory in ll starts may have been a going away present for coach Jim Carien. He said after the game that he will decide within a week whether to leave West Virginia and accept the head coaching job at Texas Tech.

Bob Gresham scored for the Mountaineers on a 10-yard run in the first period and Jim Braxton got the clincher on a one-yard run with only 23 seconds remaining in the rain-soaked contest played before 48,542. Billy DuPres 37-yard field goal put the Gamecocks on the scoreboard in the second period.

But it was Williams who was named the games most valuable offensive player. He carried 35 times for 208 yards.

The first major contest to get under way on New Years Day is the Sugar Bowl (ABC, 1:45 p.m. EST) between third-ranked Arkansas and 13th-rated Mississippi. The favored Razorbacks present a 9-1 record, losing only to Texas in the regular season finale, a balanced offense and the nations stingiest defense against scoring.

The Ole Miss offense revolves around Archie Manning, a spectacular junior quarterback who

engineered big victoriea over LSU, Tennessee and Georgia this seaw. Mississin>i finished with a 7-3 mark.

NBC comes on with the Jex* as-Notre Dame showdown at I pjn. (EST). Making their find bowl appearance in 45 years the Fighting Irish will have to stop'll the Longhorns powerful ground game, led by quarterback James Street.

Texas, winner of all ten starts, faces Irish firont lines that outweigh the Longhmms almost 20 pounds a man. Notre Daiqe Coach Ara Parseghian, whose team compiled an 8-1-1 mark, promised that it will be a hittin football game.

After that, dont turn your TV dialNBC comes on with the Rose Bowl at 5 pm. (EST) and the Orange Bowl at 8:15 pin.

In the Rose, oldest bowl of them all, both clubs present solid running and passing quarterbacks. Sc^homore Jimmy Jones guides fifth-ranked Southern California, 9-0-1, against seventh-ranked Michigan, 8-2, paced by junior (JB Don Moorhead who helped the Wolverines knock off Ohio State this season.

Moorhead made good on 50 per cent of his pass attempts this season as well as carrying the ball more often than any other Wolverine. He tossed for five touchdowns and scored nine times.

Jones scored three touchdowns and passed for 12 TDs. Southern Cals attack also features tailback Oaroice Davis, who piled up 1,275 yards in 282 carries and nine touchdowns.

If Notre Dame knocks off Texas, emotion will be running high at the Oange Bowl where second-ranked Penn State tackles sixth-ranked Missouri. Hie Nit-tany lions have enough going as isbeing the underdog and striving to extend their 29-game unbeaten string.

Penn State coach Joe Paterno was none too pleased udioi President Nixon acclaimed Texas the No. 1 team in the land following the Longhorns 15-14 triumph over Arkansas. Hoping to land in the top spot in the final Associated Press poll, to be conducted after TTiursdays games, Penn State will have to stop a strong Missouri offense, led by Terry McMillan and Joe Moore, which can strike in the air and on the ground. Missouri finished with a 9-1 record.

Chiefs Have to Stop The Bpmb

Look, Man, No Hands!

NFL Battle Of Brute Strength

By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) - The National Football League final in Minnestoe Sunday shapes up as a test of brjite strength between two muscle machines who prefer to run the ball but usually scwe with the pass.

But Grants Minnesota Vikings undoubtedly will try to run at the Cleveland Browns with Dave Osborn and Bill Brown or Oscar Reed. In return, Blanton Collier positively will probe with Leroy Kelly and Bo Scott as his Cleveland team attempts to force an opening for Bill Nel-sens passes.

If the Vikings or Browns find they can do the job with the rush, they will play it close to the vest. But it is unlikely that either club will be able to ram the ball down the others throats. Statistics do show it is easier to run on the Browns than on the Vikings.

Unless the weatherman (xxnes up with a blizzard at game time 1 p.m., EIST, both Grant and Collier probably will go to the pass. If that happens, the real war will be fought in the pit as the anonymous interior linemen battle to give Joe Kapp of the Vikings and Nelsen the precious three seconds they need to set up and throw.

Because surgery to both knees limits his mobility, Nelsen must be given the same type of air tight protection that the New York Jets usually give Joe Na-math. That means Dick Schaf-rath, John Demarie, Fred Hoag-lin. Gene Hickerson and Monte Clark must handle Carl Eller, Gary Larsen, Alan Page and Jim Marshall, the Vikings Purple Gang.

The Browns line has permitted its quarterback to be dumped only 20 times (Nelsen 17, Jerry Rhomc 3. The Vikings have dumped the enemy quar-tertMck 49 times in regular season.

Bob Lanir Burns In 50 As He Leads St. Bonaventure Win

By DICK JOYCE Associated Press Sporto Writer

That mountain of a man, St. Bonaventures Bob Lanier, is still looking for someone to cut him down to size. At 6-foot-lO, 270 pounds, it may not come until he turns pro next season.

Big Bob came through with

the top individual performance as the annual holiday college basketball tournaments came to a close Tuesday night. His 50 points powered the Bonnies from Olean, N.Y. to a 91-75 victory over Purdue for the Holiday Festival championship in New Ywk.

The victory ran the 12th-

Mountaineers Rip Gamecocks

scores before turning over the job to Gary Cuozzo.

Kapp, the unpredictable, has been smeared 28 times by enemy rushers and blitzers and Cuozzo, his backup man, has been sacked six times. That makes 34 times the Vikings line of Grady Alder, Jim Vellone, Mick Tingelhoff, Milt Sunde and Ron Yary have let their passer down.

As the Los Angeles Rams learned last Saturday, Kapp can ram the ball home in his own style. In 22 carries this year he gained 104 yards (Nelsen wound up with mirais 11 yards for five runs).

The Browns dont usually put on the big rush but the underrated foursome of Ron Snidow, Wlat Johnson (probably the best), Jim Kanicki and Jack Gregory sacked the passer 37 times plus getting to Craig Morton three times in Dallas Sunday and pressured him into only eight completions of 24 thrown and two costly interceptions. The head-to-head duel between Johnson and Yary should be something to see.

If Collier follows the pattern of Dallas he will attack the Vikings zones with Nelsens quick slanting passes to Paul Warfield and those over-the-middle shots to Milt Morin, the tight end. If they double up on Paul Warfield, the dangerous Gary Collins would be open. Nelsen will try to get Kelly and Scott or Johnson matched with a linebacker. And, of course, Kelly throws the option pass.

Kapp also can be expected to work over the middle and once again will test the rookie cor-nerback, Walt Sumner, who was burned by Washington in the November game. Washington and John Henderson are the long ball threats with tight end John Beasley over the middle and screens or dumpoffs to Osborn and Brown.

Georgia Southern at East Carolina

By MIKE BARRON Associated Press Sports Writer

ATLANTA (AP)-Jim Carien may leave West Virginia for Texas Tech but if he goes hell have to leave Eddie Williams behind and Mike Sherwood, Bob Gresham and Jim Braxton.

The West Virginia backfield, with unsung Williams leading the way, devastated South Carolinas defenses for 356 yards on the ground Tuesday night as the Mountaineers came away from the second annual Peach Bowl football game with a 14-3 victory.

I wouldnt trade Sherwood, Braxton, Gresham and Williams for the entire Texas back-fiekd, said Mountaine Coach Carien. I mean that sincerely."

But theres a chance he wont be coaching that quartetand the rest of the I9th-ranked Mountaineers who ended the regular season 9-1next season.

After the game Carien admitted there was truth to the rumor which had circulated since Sunday that he wa$ considering the head coaching job at Texas Tech. He acknowledged that he had talked to officials at the Lubbock school about the job, which opened up when J. T. King was elevated to athletic director.

The Peach Bowl, billed as a battle between West Virginias running and South Carolinas passing, didnt come out that way because a steady rain nullified the Gamecock air attack. But the downpour didnt hurt the Mountaineer rushing, and in particular it didnt bother Eddie Williams.

The 5-foot-lO, 210-pound s(^ho-more reserve back was the star of the game, beating out his more publicized companions Gresham and Braxton. He gained 206 yards on 35 carries, setting a Mountaineer mie-game rushing record, and was given the Clint Castleberry Award as the games most valuable offensive player.

He didnt score a touchdown that honor belonged to Gresham and Braxton-but he kept driving through the South Carolina line for long gains and enabled the Mountaineers to control the game.

Gresham got the first touchdown on a 10-yard run in the opening period and Braxton added the final score with a one-yard plunge with only 23 seconds left in the game.

In between, South Carolina got on the scoreboard with a 37-yard field goal by Billy DuPre, a 5-foot-5 soccer-style placekicker. The second-quarter kick almost didnt make it as it struck the crossbar and bounced over.

South Carolina, Atlantic Coast Conference champions who had a 7-3 regular season chart, stubbornly refused to collapse under |he fierc^ountaineer rush but the Gamecocks couldnt get

started. Quarterback Tommy Suggs did manage to complete 9 of 17 passes for 98 yards but couldnt hit his man on key plays.

Time and again the West Virginia defense, led by 6-foot, 210-pound senior middle guard Carl Crennel, threw Suggs for big losses. Crennel received the Smiley Johnson Award for the games most valuable defensive player.

That was a pretty good lesson in hard-nosed football, said Gamecock Coach Paul Dlet-zel. Theyve got some fine running backs and they came up with some big plays and we didnt.

But Im pround of our boys. They never quit and theyre certainly not losers. Well be back. Im just sorry our 11 seniors had to finish their careers this way, he added.

Peach Bowl officials were delighted with the crowd of 48,452 which sat through the entire game.

ranked Bonnies unbeaten string to seven games. Purdue, 7-3, is ranked No. 17.

Three other teams ranked in the Associated Press Top Twenty poll captured tournament titles.

Third-ranked South Carolina, led by John Roches clutch foul shooting and Tom Rikers 36 points, downed Notre Dame 84-83 in overtime for the Sugar Bowl title at New Orleans. Austin Carr hit 43 for the 13th-ranked Irish.

North Carolina, No. 4, captured the Carolina Classic by tripping Bowling Green, 89-72, behind Charley Scotts 27 points. Davidson thumped Syracuse 103-81 for the Charlotte Invitational crown as sophomore Brian Adrian led the way with 32 points.

Purdue Coach George King called Lanier the best big man in the country. As a player he does some things Lew Alcindor didnt do, he said. Lanier completely overshadowed the Boilermakers All-American Rick Mount, who was held to 19 points by the Bonnies tight zone defense.

Lanier hit 18 of 22 shots from the field, including 18 straight points in the first half. He also grabbed 15 rebounds.

Unbeaten but unranked Niagara, even without Calvin Murphy for 16 minutes of the second half, took the All-College championship by downing host Oklahoma City 87-75. Murphy, 5-foot-10 A11 -A m e r i c a n, was benched with four personal fouls early in the second half. But Wayne Jones picked up the slack, finishing with 20. Murphy

had 22, .18 in the first half.

Oklahoma took the Big Eight crown with a 73-72 victory over Colorado, ranked No. 20. It was the Sooners 10th win in 11 starts, with Steve Ayers sinking the clinching free throws.

Oregon handed ninth-raidced Washington its first setback 83-73 for the Far West champirai-ship at Portland, Ore. Stan Love poured in 25 points and Billy Gaskins added 22 for Oregon.

Fran Dunphys 24 points paced LaSalle to Lhe (laker City title at Philadelphia, beating previously unbeaten Columbia, tied for No. 15 in the rankings, 89-74.

Mel Knights layup with 13 seconds remaining earned Seton Hall the Hurricane Classic title, 56-55, over Texas. Fifth-ranked Ohio University salvaged the Hurricane consolation prize with a 99-74 triumph over Miami of Florida as John Canine scored 37 for the winners.

Sixth-ranked Tennessee was another consolation winner, ripping Memphis State 72-51 in the All-College tourney. Seventh-ranked New Mexico State defeated Sul Ross 95-75 in a nontourney game. Houstwi, No. 8, belted California-Santa Barbara 98-85 for consolation honcars in the Las Vegas Classic. ^

Among the other tournament winners were Florida State, an 88-63 victOT over Florida in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Fla., Georgetown, D.C., which downed Stanford, 101-81 in the Kodak Classic at Rochester, N.Y., and Texas A&M, which grabbed the Poinsettia title in Greenville, S.

THE DAILY REFLECTOR

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP)Destroy their bomb attack.

Thats the way to beat Oakland in Sundays American Football League championship, says Tn Flores, the reserve Kansas City iquartciback who fw seven years was the Raiders Bombardier.

They have a home run theoryif the bomb is there, go for it, explained Flores today in revealing the theory on which file Oakland offense has (grated ever since A1 Davis came on the scene, first as coacli and now as managing general partner.

A lot of teams look for the bomb but wont go for it as frequently, Flores pointed out. Most teams wont audibilize to^ go for it if fiiey come up to' the line with another play that looks like it will work.

With the Raiders, if they see a chance to go for itthey go for six. Theyre always looking for it you can always feel Daryle Raider quarterback Daryle Lamonica looking for it, looking for that six.

But its not reckless; its pretty well controlled. Its designed so theres a certain pattern to it. Its a home run theory but its polished. Its just that their whole passing game is based on yardage and touchdowns, not completion percentage.

The philosophy with the Chiefs is different, Flores con-tiraied. The philosophy here is to run the baU a lot more. Its more of a controlled type' game, a patient game. But A1 always said he was a passing coach. He likes to throw.

Laiitonica was the perfect reflection of that theory during the regular season as he lulot-ed an attack that gained more yardage in the air than any other club in the league while personally leading the league with 34 touchdown tosses.

But while Lamonica is the key, Flores says just as much credit should be given to the line tro(^ who have to hold off the enemy trying to diffuse the bombs center Jim Otto, guards Gene Upshaw, and Jim Harvey and tackles Bob Svihus and Harry Schuh.

The antidote is, Flores said, pressure up the middle, in this case applied either by penetrating the ctefensive tacklesBudi Buchanan and Curley Culp-or by blitzing the outside linebackersBobby Bell and Jim Lynch.

Weve got to get them off balance Flcxres said. You cant go at them conventionally. Youve got to change your look all the time and force Daryle out of the pocket or get him off balance.

If we can do thatif we can destroy their bomb attack we can beat them.

Israeli Fencing Academy Smack In Middle Of War

By RONALD THOMSON Associated Press Writer

BIRANIT, Israel (AP) - Sabers flash and clash in the hills of the Holy Land. A deep American voice barks, On guard! The point of a rapier is suddenly at a mans throat.

Its not an old Errol Flynn movie.

The scene is an outpost on Israels tense border with Lebanon. A lesson is being given in the classical art of handling cold steel.

The Israelis, who can always be relied on to do the unexpected, have set up a fencing academy plumb on one of their edgy frcNitiers with the Arab world. And the chief instructor is a former coach of the U.S. Olympic fencing team.

A real war is going on only a few hundreds yards away among those desolate brown hills and ravinesa war of hidden mines, of ambushes, of mortar shells and lightrang raids and death in the night.

So there is a certain cool arrogance in the idea of setting up the Jewish states first fencing school so close to trouble.

Here at Biranit, an abandoned Israeli settlement, 16 young men and four girls are being instructed in the severe disciplines of swordsmanship.

Some of them coukf turn out

to be good enough for international competition, says Maxwell Garret, expert fencer of the University of Illinois at Champaign.

Garret, the former U.S. Olympic coach, has taken a years leave of absence to teach at Biranit, a cluster of buildings scattered over a hillside facing the most southerly point of the frontier.

The handsome, burly American seemed surprised when asked if he was bothered by the constant presence of danger.

Its no mre dangerous then crossing the streets of New York City, he said.

Weve escaped direct attack by Arab infiltrators, although not long ago they blew up a bridge on a nearby road.

Special guards keep watch over the settlement with a keen eye for hidden exfdosive charges, favorite weapon of the saboteurs. Day and night, Israeli border police patrol the roads winding along the frontier.

The fencing students are not assigned regular guard duties, but they are given battle positions to take up in case of attack. Most have served in the Israeli army and know how to use a gun as well as a foil.

After a course lasting nipe months, the students are expect

ed to take up jobs as fencing instructors in schools and sports clubs throughout the country.

Chaim Leffler, its Czech-born director, says the academy is performing a patriotic act by its very location on the border.

This whole area was wide open to infiltration when the Biranit settlement was empty, Leffler told visiting correspondents.

The situation is better now that theres an Israeli presence here. The fencing school is fulfilling a national duty.

That is a principal reason why the director thinks his academy is entitled to more funds. Its annual budget is about 71,000 U.S. dollarsprovided by the Jewish Agency, municipal councils and individual backers. But Leffler says there still is a chronic shiH-tage of money.

The young pupils dont know much about this problem, and probably dont care. Fencing has become a passion among them.

Their enthusiasm comes directly from their instructor, who says: ^

What we are doing here is important. We are teaching these young men and women not to be afraid of another person armed with a piece of steel.

Malaysian Koran Reading is A Competitive Sport

By LEWIS M. SIMONS Associated Press Writer

KUALA LUMPUR (AP) - To the uninitiated, attending a Koran reading contest might evoke about as much enthusiasm as watching a submarine race from the beach.

The action is just about as hard to spot.

Competitors sit stock-still on a little platform in the middle of a huge stadium and, with barely a flicker of facial expression, chant a verse from the holy Islamic book for about 10 minutes.

The fans, almost none of whom understand Arabic, react with wild applause at the end and respectful responses throughout.

Seen from the stands of Kuala Lumpurs Merdeka (freedom) stadium, where international Koran reading competitions have been going on the last 10 years, the competitors appear peanut-sized.

Their voices, however, come through full force, piped into the farthest comers of the stadium by a raft of microphone and loudspeakers.

The competition, held during the fasting month of Ramadan, attracts huge crowds, hungry for both something to eat after sunset, for a bit of entertainment, for an opportunity to meet friends, and not incidentally, to hear some of the best Koran (or <)uran as it is sometimes qielled) readers in the world

Recently more than 20,000 devotee Jammed into Merdeka stadium for the finals of th' lOth anniversary competition. "Islam is the official state religion of Malaysia.

Men and women competitors from IS nations took part; Brunei, Cambodia, Ceylon. India, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Philippines^ SingtfKire, Thailand, |ir^ey^th jbetnam and Ma

laysia.

After three nights of competition the judges settled on a Malaysianas usualas the mens winner. He was Haji Ismail bin Haji Hashim, who had won the championship twice before.

The woman winner was Mai-munah Mo-air Sa-ard of Thailand, the first non-Malaysian to win the womans section.

Whether man or woman, the procedure is similar:

Competitors approach the small carpeted platform in the center of a modernistic replica of a mosque built for the occasion on the stadiums soccer pitch. The mosque is brilliantly lit for the nighttime show, wMch generally lasts about four hours.

The competitor removes his (or her) shoes, steps onto the platform and sits down in a cross-legged position before a copy of the Koran set before him on a little stand.

Most competitors-take a moment to pause, draw a few deep

breaths and then, suddenly, fling their hands to their ears and begin chanting in a soft, nasal v(Mce.

One expert said readers often put their hands to their ears in order to help them adjust their pitch and v(riume. He said it was a little tridc often used by radio announcers.

Under the rules of the competition, each reader is given 10 to 12 minutes to recite an assigned verse. The monotone performances continue and end without any apparent buildup.

Then the reader gets up, puts his shoes back on and leaves the platform.

The fans love it. For those who cant nuike it to the stadium, the government-run television station brings it home.

Judging is carried out by a panel of international experts, the finest of whcnn are considered those from Arabic-speaking countries. Points are assigned for Voice and Intonation, Rules of Reciting the <)uran and Diction.

To add a bit of sparkle to the contest, guest readers, including some from Arabic countries, perform during intervals.

The competition, whkh includes readers only from non-Arabic speaking countries, is a |>et project of Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rhaman. The Tun-ku established the contest 11 years ago on a national scale and developed it into an international contest the next year.

His big hope is to bring Malaysian Koran reading up to the level of Arab countries and then <^n the competition to Muslims all over the world. i

count

But what type of man could be SO cruel as to hoodwink our Senior Citizens out of their meager funds?

PsyclMpatric Personalities Some of these confidence men are psychopathic personalities.

That means they have no normal set of moral values and do not react with our standard emotions.

Here in Chicago a man of 35 was finally haled into court because he had bled his widowed mother of every cent she had and then had even sold her little cottage out from under her via a forged deed.

When he was finally apprehended, the Judge reprimanded him in caustic terms.

And then the culprit shed copious tears of repentance, vowing that he would never mistreat her like that again.

Then, as he left the courtroom

he stopped to kiss his grayhaired mother and weep on her neck.

But before he had left the building, it was discovered that he had actually stolen her gold watch right there in the courtroom as he was weeping so penitently on her neck!

And with the Judge looking on, before whom he had vowed so earnestly that he had learned his lesson and henceforth would be reformed!

Please focus on this case of a psychopathic personality, for such people have grown up with a purely gimme cmnplex that makes them oblivioie of normal affection for their parents, their mates and even their own children!

They are a special breed. Often, they are college educated and glib of tongue so they can melt the hearts and sway the judgment of astute leaders of society, including even our Judges, as well as Psychiatrists and Clergymen.

So please warn your elderly relatives NOT to make out any large checks to ANYBODY, without first having a family, powwow.

For when people pass the age of 80, they usually grow more gullible.

Yet they crave independence and like to carry a little money or have their own checking account, which is ego-inflating and usually proper.

But dont let them keep large amounts in a checking account, for a $5 or $10 check for groceries is about as large a sum as they need to spend for any single bill.

Urge them, therefore, to put a ceiling on any checks they write, and warn them never to pay money to strangers until you other relatives O.K. the transaction!

(Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)

Carrier Made Deadlier Warship

By JOHN LEIGHTY

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-A mighty lady of the sea is stirring to life after a four-year 1202 million face-lifting.

The aircraft carrier USS Midway is longer, wider and more comfortable than when she retired for a reconstruction period Feb. 15. 1966. Shes also a more efficient, deadlier ship of war.

The Midway, named for the Battle of Midway in World War II. was first launched on March 20. 1945 at Newport News. Va. It's the second carrier of that name. The Midway 1. renamed the St, Lo. was sunk in the Battle of Samar, Oct. 25. 1944.

Hecom missioned I'he new Midway will be recommissioned Jan 31. 1970. Thais when the ships crew takes the responsibility of CVA-41 awav from the Hunters

Point Naval Shipyard.

The ship and her commanding officer. Capt. Eugene J. Carroll, are about ready for the changeover.

i cant wait to get the workers off and the mess cleaned up and get out to sea where we can sweep the dust off. Capt. Carroll said.

The Midway probably wont actually get to sea until early summer when shell undergo a shakedown cruise with her entire 4.200-map crew, including the air wing.

The cruise will prepare the ship for fleet exercises the later part of the year The ship will be based in Alameda. Calif., and almost certainly will join operations off the coast of Vietnam,

As recommissioning day nears, approximately 2.100 workers are busy giving the

ship a final checkout and finishing up the hundreds of projects needed to put her back on the sea.

Shipyard commander. Capt. L.B. Mayer, said her $202 million price-tag included government-furnished equipment and monies for design and outfitting the carrier.

Mayer said the Midway was originally scheduled to be in the yards 28 months.

"The buildup in Southeast Asia affected the work, he said "Ships on the line needing repairs come first.

Mayer said d costly fire on the carrier Oriskahy was the biggest single setback.

Troubles Cause Delay "It set us back considerably, Mayer said. We diverted manpower and equipment designated for the Midway. Boarding from the dock, the

flattop blends into a mass of cranes, trucks, generators and other dockside equipment.

Inside, thousands of cables and lines stretched into every department and wound through hatches and down ladders.

Along the deck edge on each side of the hanger deck is a large four-point suspension aluminum elevator capable of handling 100,000 pound loads, or a fully loaded fighter (dane.

An additional elevator for ordinance use was added during the shipyard work. Capt.

Carroll said the addition brought more safety and speed cramped quarte.

ship's cruising speed is 30 knots, or about 35 mph.

It also takes a lot to keep the lady cool. Five 3004on air conditioners were added W this purpose.

Providing for crew comfort was an important criterion during reconstruction. Removal of a center elevator added extra living space. The ship now has lockers and bunks for 4,300 men.

Larger Quarters On the old Midway crewmi often had to sleep cm desks or in their work spaces and live out of seabags because of the

in moving ordinance supplies.

The conventional propulsion system consists of 12 boilers capable of putting out 200,000-plus horsepower, more than any modern carrier except the nuclear-powered vessels. The

The eating facilities have also been improved. The 14,000 meals served daily will be divided between a forward and aft mess facility. The aft will serve full meal^ and the forward mess will serve sandwiches.

The four-inch armor-plated flight deck was extended 50-feet longer, to 996-feet, giving it the capability of a 310-foot landing from the time a pilot hits the arresting gear until he stops.

This enables us to handle the fastest, newest planes the Navy now has or expects to operate in the next 10-15 years, Capt. Carroll said. You can hit and get off safely if the plane doesnt catch the arresting gear. In the old days youd hit down and if your landing gear didnt catch you ended up in the barricades.

By ROBERT K. WALKER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Maxi-mqm interest rates allowed on governmMt-insured FHA and VA hom^Hoans will be booked for the second time within a year, becoming a record 8'^a per cent as of next Monday.

Secretary of Housing George Romney said Tuesday he was reluctantly approving the increase from the current 7' j per cent maximum which has been in effect only since last Jan. 24.

The announcement was bad news for prospective home buyers who had hoped to see a stabilizing or reduction of interest rates which have been spiraling since early in 1966 when the limit was 5' I per cent for the loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration and Veteraas Administration.

Romney said he had delayed as long as possible but he was forced to take the action to help hold the line against a further drying up of mortgage funds from regular sources

He noted that market yields on most types of investments have gone up more than one percentage point in the past year and that lenders arc demanding higher and higher discount points to. make FHA VA loans.

Lenders have been charging 7 to 9 per centor points- to make loans. Most of this usually is paid by the seller, but in ef feet may be passed on to the buyer in the form of a higher house price.

The one per cent boost in the interest ceilingthe largest increase everwas applauded by

the Mortgage Bankers Association of America and was condemned by the National Association of Home Biiilders.

Housing is in a stafe of crisis. and todays government action to increase the FHA-VA mortgage interest ceiling to 8'-per cent is a substantial move to improve the situation, said Robert H. Pease, president of the mortgage bankers,

Louis R. Barba, acting president of the home builders group, issued a statement declaring the time has come for the administration to put into effect standby credit controls recbntly authorized by Congress.

Indians Bring In Rock Music

SAN FRANClCO (AP) There will be rock music on The Rock tonight, say spokesmen for more than 150 American Indians (Kcupying Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.

The Indians said a local rock music band has been invited to play at a New Years Eve celebration in the main cellblock of the former federal prison.

Only Indians and selected palefaces are invited, they said.

"f'irewater isn't authorized, said Dean Cha vers of the Indian Center in San Francisco. "But there might be some brown bagging ... You know, like at football games,

Claiming a treaty gives them rights to abandoned federal property, the Indians invaded the island'Nov. 20 and want the federal government to turn it over to them for an American cultural studies center.

Current high interest r*t have not visibly succeeded in curbing inflation but, on the contrary, seem to increase iiv flationary pressures by their contribution to higher costs, Barba said.

He said the Federal Reserve Board should act to ease money pressures.

Pease noted that the 8'/i per cent rate v^ld be iltegal in at least six statesIndiana, Mississippi. Missouri, Ohio, South Dakota and Virginiaand the District of Columbia. He said these states could face a serious housing crisis unless their legislatures raise the current interest limits.

The new maximum rates will have no effect on the 8.2 million loans which have beenfmade in the past, but they will result in higher monthly payments for persons getting FHA-VA new loans after Jan. 5.

Christmas Tree Has More Uses

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) Dont throw away that Christmas tree.

Dr. Melvin Koelling, Michigan State University extension forester, says branches of the used Christmas trees can protect other plants from winter-burn.

"Woodchips from the trees can be used for mulching on evergreens and such plants as boxwood, roses and holly, Koelling adds.

The flicker, a woodpecker, eats ants. It can consume from 3,000 to 5,000 of them a day.

ECU Co-Sponsors Adult Scouts End Foreign Policy Program

"Great Decisions1970, an adult prograni of foreign policy di.scussion held in the home, is being c(vsponsored by the East Carolina University Division of (ontinuing Education.

In cooperation with the Foreign Policy Association of the University of North Carolina Extension Division, ECU is making available materials for an eight-week study-discussion program beginning Feb. 1.

Assistant dean of continuing education Bryom Anderson says the program is one through which citizens in their own communities can discuss the most important decisions this country faces in the world today.

"A nonpartisan educational program, it helps individual citizens get the facts about current foreign policy issues, talk over the facts with friends and neighbors at times and places of their choosing, develope their own opinions on United States foreign policy and communicate them to policymakers in Washington. Anderson says the program works because the informal, self-administering discussion group is a natural and sociable way for any group of people to study the questions.

"All any group needs to get started, he says, is one booklet for each person. The booklet provides the basic background information, a summary of policy (Alternatives and a series of meaningful questicms.

The \booklts, which kGo Wntain\llustrations, maps,W reading suggestions, cover eight K^ics, to be dealt with each week through March 22.

Topics for stqdy in this years ^ograAP inqijide the Soviet

Union (What Course for the Kremlin in the 1970s?). U.S. policy in Latins America, F'rance after DeGaulle, Race and World Politics, Japan (A Great Power Role for the Rich Man of Asia?), U.S. Defense Polcy. Middle East (What Stakes for the Great Powers in the Arab-lsraeli Conflict?), and

the United Nations.

Booklets for the Great Decisions program, nw in its 16th year, are available at $3 each from the Division of Continuing Education, ECU, P.O. Box 2727, Greenville. No teacher or other materials are required.

Investigating 4 Break-Ins

County sheriffs officials are investigating four break-in and larceny cases that occurred over the weekend, resulting in the theft of nearly $200 in cash and various items of merchandise.

A break-in and larceny at the Floyd D. Smith Service Station on Rt. 1, Winterville was reported, sheriff Ralph Tyson said. Missing from the store were four watches, three cartons of cigarettes and around $20 in cash.

A theft at the B.T. McLawhorn StcMT^ on Rt. 2, Ayden resulted^in the loss of $15 in pennies, a radio and 12 cartons of cigarettes, Tyson said. The intruders gained entrance through the side door o the store, it was determined.

Thieves knodced a lock off the front door of the Ruth Meadows Store on Rt. 1, Grifton early Saturday and took wine and an assortment of canned goods, valued at $88. In addition to the goods, 10 cartons of cigarettes were reported stolen.

Merchandise valued at $181 and close to $50 in cash was rep<ted missing from the A.W. Haddo0( Store at Haddocks

Cross Roads over the weekend. Tyson said the thieves took a number of watches, a walki-talki, and an undetermined amount of cigarettes from the business.

Investigation is continuing on the cases and Tyson said arrest are expected soon.

Car Is Powered By Natural Gas

CITY OF COMMERCE, Calif (AP) An ordinary looking se dan has become what state offi cials predict will be a landmark vehicle in the battle against smog.

The car pulled away from a state owned garage in this Los Angeles suburb Tuesday, fueled with compressed natural gas.

The State Diyision of Highways noted with pride that its exhaust was, discharging between 80 and W) per cent fewer air pollutants than the normal car.

3-Day Trip

Twelve scouts from Troop 205 in Greenville and two of their scouting leaders have just returned from a three-day hike and camp-out on the Appalachian Trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

An accumulation of 15 inches (rf fresh snow posed an authentic challenge to the scouts as they learned firsthand the art of breaking trails, setting up camp, cooking and staying dry and warm under the severe winter time conditions.

The scouts who participated in the three-day camping trip were Roger and Billy Billica, Tommy Manning, Don Howard, Greg Redgate, Jimmy Rodgers, Paul and Jeff Vernon, Linus Matinez, Chris Indorf, Jimmy Clement and Alex King.

Scouting leaders who accompanied the youth on the trip were Troop 205 scoutmaster, H.R. Billica, and committee chairman J.T. Manning. Troop 205 is sponsored by Memorial Baptist Church.

The range on natural gas is 80 to 100 miles. Each car will be able to convert to regular gasoline when operated in outlying areas relatively free of smog.

The California Air Resources Board says fleet carsbecause of their extensive usecontribute about 30 per cent of Los Angeles smog even though they represent only about 10 per cent of the vehicles.

Historian Of Rising Fame

The Light of History ' JONES Dept of Archives and History Written for the APi. RALEIGH (AP) - A University of North Carolina historian walked off with two literary awards during the recent Culture Week in Raleigh. His name is rapidly taking its place beside other great Tar Heel historians such as R. D. W. Connor, J. G. deR. Hamiltwi, Christopher Crittenden, and Hugh T. Lefler.

He is William S. Powell, curator of the North Carolina Collection and a professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One book, The North Carolina Gazetter, won the Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History, and another, The North Carolina C(d(Miy, won the Peace Award of the North Carolina Society (rf County and Local Historians.

Powell is an indefatigable researcher and writer. He has written or edited more than a dozen other books and pamphlets, among the best known of which are Paradise Preserved, North Carolina Lives, and Ye Counties (rf Albemarle in Carolina. His articles have appeared in many professional journals. He was for ten years editor of Hist(7 News, the monthly publication of the American Association for State and Local History; and for two years he edited N(H*th Carolina Libraries, the quarterly journal of the North Carolina Library Association. He was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1956 and went to England for research on members <rf The Lost Colony.

With such a lengthy bibliography to his credit, most any other historian would be content to relax. Not Bill Powell. Even his wife doesnt know just how many projects he now has

under way, but among them are three publications for tho Department of Archives and History; he is editing the papers of North Carolinas colonial governor William Tryon; he is conducting research for a booklet on the Negro in North Carolina; and he, in association with James K. Huhta and Th(xn-as J. Farnham, is editing a volume (rf documents relating to the Regulator movement. Each year he c(xnpiles a bibliography of North Carolina books, writes newspap^feature articles, and furnishes schdariy articles to historical journals. All of this is in addition to his full-time job, as curator of the states finest collection of printed North Car-oliniai[ia. It is a mystery how he finds time to teach a popular course in North Carolina history, serve on the editorial and historical marker boards of Archives and History and on the board of governors of the UNC Press, and carry on his hobby of gardening. The late Dr. Crittenden thought Powells secret lay in his ability to make use of every minute of his time.

Ttiere is a place on the windswept prairie of the Nebraska panhandle called Delta. It is not on the road maps, nor does it sh^ on the local tour guides provided by the nearest chamber of commerce.

You could, if you had an idea of where you wanted to go, ask directions. But you probably wouldnt get much of an answer. Delta was built for the American people, for thei'r defense and with their money, but few Americans ever 4wll get to see it.

proud of their abilities.

Do the mi on the launch teams know where the missiles they fre are aimed?

We know they go over the hill, Burchfield said. They go north, they all go north, but the exact place they come down is not important to us.

The team can program its missiles for various targets, but the target information is merely a code that tells them nothing.

Most of the LCC is filled with the electronic gear necessary to lift the 10 missiles controlled by Delta off the groimd. There is the commanders^ command COTisole, and a control console for the deputy commander. There are racks and racks of electronic equipment. There is a multitude of communications

Synod's Ruling: Play It Safe

CAPE TOWN, South Africa

rain rockets at the sky, a delegate told a provincial synod of the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk, one of South Africas three powerful Calvinist Dutch Reformed churches. He and other delegates convinced of the sinfulness of rain rockets initiated a long discussion, ended by acceptance o a resolution that the use of the rockets is not expressly forbidden by Scripture. However, the synod decided, such rockets should always be fired with a deep awareness of mans dependence on God and draughts should always be seen as a way in which God brings his people to submission.

Despite its unsavory reputation with sports fishermen, the carmis still one of the worlds imobltant food fishes.

The actual missile silos are unmanned, and there is no missile at the LCF. The minuteman locations are

protected by electnmic security, and every time an alarm sounds, security forces from the pommand Site respond.

Usually they And a pheasant or stray cow has tripped an alarm, but it must be checked immediately every time.

Each missile silo top is an 80-ton concrete slab riding on rails and covering the missile. In a flriitg, the door would be blasted sideways and the missile, horning solid fuel, would blast off right from the underground silo.

That is one reason the minuteman can get into the air so fast. It took much longer for the Atlas, wh|( used to dot these same plains, because silo

doors had to be lifted up, the missile raised and liquid fuel pumped in before it could be fired.

Burchfield and Coleman usually work at Delta, but occasionally they may be assigned to one of the otiier 19 LCCs in the 90th Mng. There are foir squadrons in the wing, each with five launch control facilities. Each LCF contrds 10 missiles, giving the wyoming-based wing 200 missiles, and making it one of the two largest Minuteman wings in the world.

The control centers and the missiles are scattered over southeast Wyoming, northeast Colorado and the Nebraska panhandle.

Malstrom AFB in Montana also has 200 missiles and there are four wings with 150 each

for the total of l,fXO birds in a state of constant readiness in the United States. ^

Burchfleld is 100 per cent sure his missiles are ready. He has a pend at his consde that shows the condition of each of the missiles under his control, and a computer monitors the circuits of the missiles constantly.

Ilie electronic checks are not the only way the missilmen know their wares are good. Every so oftoi (me missile is chosen at random, pulled^ from its silo and shipped to Vandenburg AFB. 'Hiere it is actually fired on the test range. And the 100 per cent figure seems to be proving accurate.

Tests Safety The missiles are not test-lired from the silos on the Wyoming-

Nebraska -Colorado plains.

Burdifidd eiqdained the min-uteman is a threeetage missile, and if one were fired from Ddta, for instance, to the Pacific Ocean test range the first stage would probably land on Salt Lake City and the second stage on Los Angdes. No one man can fire one of these missiles.

Itiere are two launch keys in the control center. They are locked in a box with two padlocks, and each man knows only the cimibination for his own lock.

Once the keys are taken out, both the c(nmanda:. and his deputy insert them in lkeyh(des, farthere apart than the reach Q one man. The keys must be turned within two seconds of each other, and must be held in the turned position for a full

two seconds or the missiles will not fire.

"Hiere is no maidiincf that tells us what to do like in the movie Fail Safe, Burchfield said. It is done by human voice. Both ^us must copy down the me^iages, then agree on what they mean. There are a series of authenticator co<ies and we must agree on every step before we make each move.

And evoi then the LCC cannot fire the missiles along. The control centers are linked together and the team' in another LCC must go through the entire launch procedure and turn their keys, too, before the firing sequence starts.

One guy could possibly go kooky, but not four at the same time, Burchfield ex[dained. That is the protection against

an accidental or unauthmized firing. Further, there is strict and complicated security to prevent any outsider getting in and triggering the missiles.

How to Leave The last thing Burchfield demonstrated before we returned topside was his last resort emergency exit firom the (^psule.

There is a small trapdoor in the ceiling at die rear of the room. Burchfieliji held the trapdoor c^ien and shone a flashlight up that showed a metal haU^ on the wall of the outer container. That dcxxr weighs more than 500 pounds, he said. It leads to a shaft running up at a % degree angle to within five feet of the surface.

Among the emergency gear stored under the flcxx^ pands of

the LCC are picks and shovels needed to dig out that last fiv feet.

Burchfield said a decision to tse the escape shafts would be as irrevocable as a decision to fire the missUes, because the shaft is filled with sand, and once the door is opened the sand fills the capsule. There is no going back.

As a final touch of security, no one on duty know where the escape hatch would come out, and what kind of digging it would take to reach the surface.

It may come out under the helicopter landing pad, or maybe under the concrete garage floor, Capt Burchfield said. There is supposed to be a mft spot someiriiere in that garage floix*, but nobody knows where it is. '
