Nixon And Pompidu Agree On Dollar Devaluation Policy
By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer ANGRA DO HEROISMO, Azores (AP) -President Nixon and Franees Georges Pixn-{Mdou agreed today to work for a devaluation of the dollar and revaluing of other currencies to achieve a realignment of the Western worlds exchange rates.
A joint U.S.-French statement said the two presidents reached a broad area of agreement on measures necessary to achieve an early settlement of the international monetary crisis.
In cooperation with other nations they agreed to work toward a prompt realignment of exchange rates through a devaluation of the dollar
and re-evaluation of some other currencies, said a statement issued iat the conclusion of the two-day talks here.
The statement also said the realignment of money parities could be accompanied by iNToader permissible margins of fluctuation around the newly established exchange rates. It did not specify any figures fw the possible new parities.
The mcMietary troubles claimed the spotlight during the discussions Monday, and Treasury Secretary Jirfin B. Connally told newsmen afterward: We are trying to push for a decisim. We have made the point repeatedly that we think we owe it to the nations to try to resolve this
matter if we possibly can and as soon as we can.
Connally, who spent much <rf Mwiday meeting with French Finance Minister Valery Giscard dEstaing, said they made considerable IM^ogressnot in terms of any ultimate or final solution necessarily, but certainly progress jn terms of getting additional matter out mi the table, getting them discussed, having a clear understanding of the respective positions of the two nations.
He gave no indication what these additional matters were, but said the French have indicated a willingness to be helpful, to be cooperative and to make a substantial c(xi-
tribution to the settlement of the problem. Connally conceded, however, that no decisions have been arrived at.
A French spdcesman said Nixon and Pom-pidos were trying to find ways and means to get out of the current impasse. He said Pompidou was satisfied with the talks.
Nixon and Pompidou also talked about the India-Pakistan war, the Middle East, relations with the Soviet Union and the American presidents visits next year to Moscow and Peking.
The two presidents were feted at a state dinner Monday night by Portuguese Premier Marcello Caetano. '

Two Americans Return After Years Of Red China Captivity
Cease-Fire Call By UN Blocked By Soviet Veto
By ALEC COLLETT Associated Press Writer
UNITED NATIONS, NY. (AP) The U.N. Security Council makes another attempt today to reach agreement on a formula for ending the India-Pakistan war, but Pakistan calls the latest proposal unacceptable.
The new effort came after the Soviet Union, Indias backer, used its third veto in nine days Monday night to kill a U.S. proposal for a cease-iire and troop withdrawal.
The vote was 11-2 for the American resolution, with (}hina voting with the majority, and Britain and France, the other two powers with a veto, abstaining. Poland sided, with the Soviet Union again the proposal.
The new reisolution, proposed
by Italy and Japan, calls upon India and Pakistan to take all measures to bring about an immediate cease-fire and begin disengagement Of troops It also calls for an immediate opening of negotiations, with a view to achieving a comprehensive political settlement in East Pakistan, and for appointment of a three-man committee from among the 15 council members to assist India and Pakistan in their efforts to bring about normalcy in the area of conflict.
Pakistani Ambassador Agha Shahi said the plan was unacceptable.
He did not say why, but presumably his government would object because it calls for disengagement of the opposing forces, not withdrawal of the Indian forces who have overrun much of Elast Pakistan.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Two Americans, including a California woman who celebrates her 26th birthday two days after Christmas, returned to the U.S. mainland today after their release by Communist China.
I feel great. It was a fine trip and Im glad to be home, Mary Ann Harbert said in the first words spoken to newsmen since she and Richard Fecteau of Lynn, Mass., began their 10,-000-mile flight from Hong Kong where they were freed Monday.
Im so happy to be back, a smiling Fecteau said after he and Miss Harbert arrived by helicopter at Valley Forge Military Hospital, 25 miles northwest of here.
The pair arrived at 5:40 a.m. after a short flight from McGuire Air Force Base, N.J., their first mainland U.S. landfall since boarding a U.S. Air Force C141 at Hong Kong.
Newsmen were not permitted to talk to them, although one reporter managed to get close enough to exchange a few words. An Air Force spokesman said it was the pairs decision not to speak to anyone.
Col. Philip A. Deffer, com
manding officer at the hospital, said they would be taken immediately to a medical ward and examined by physicians.
They are tired, he said. These are patients who have had a long and arduous journey.
It was not known how long they would remain at the hospital.
Miss Harbert wore pink slacks and a parka. Fecteau
was dressed in black trousers and a parka.
Both were smiling as they alighted from the helicopter. They strode rapidly to a waiting automobile that took them
the short distance to the hospital.
Her eyes were shielded by dark glasses and she carried what appeared to be a box un-dei^ her arm.
Fecteau. a 43-year-old civil
ian employe of the Army, served 19 years of a 20-year sentence on Chinese charges of spying. Miss Harbert, whose parents live in Palo Alto, Calif., had been a captive of the Red Chinese for three years.
Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu was their first American stop after their release at Hong Kong. From Hickam, the C141 flew nonstop to McGuire.

A coroners jury which heard testimony at an inquest ruled the officer acted in self defense. A report by the State Bureau of Investigation into the death was given to District Solisitor Eli Bloom and Bloom said the report contained no evidence to warrant bringing the case to trial.
Judge Rouses order came after the Greenville Chapter of the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union attempted to get the court to make the SB! report public. The jurist refused to make the SBI report available to the public, but instead, ordered the Grand Jury to look into the case.
Some 24 witnesses have been subpoenaed for possible appearance before the jury.

ARVN Seizes Red Base Camp
By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer
SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese troops seized the Cambodian rubber plantation town of Chup today without any opposition, military spokesmen said.
We now control Chup, one officer declared. He said reconnaissance teams fanned out into the 75-square-mile plantation. the largest in Indochina and a major base camp for the North Vietnamese 7th and 9th Divisions.
Two North Vietnamese soldiers defected to the South Vietnamese in the town, and intelligence officers were interrogating them.
It was the first time in nearly a year that the South Vietnamese had established any kind of presence in Chup, the scene of hard fighting during the first allied invasion of Cambodia in May 1970 and again last February.
The South VjettlSfh^ese forces are on the southern edge of the big plantation, while the North Vietnamese have been reported in its northern part, and this may be why there has been no fighting.
Six thousand South Vietnamese troops spearheaded by an
arrpored column are committed to the Chup drive, which was launched Monday as part of the 25,000-man offensive into eastern Cambodia begun Nov. 22. Its aim is to destroy enemy supplies, disrupt communications lines and forestall a dry-season offensive into the southern half of South Vietnam.
The operation is receiving heavy air support from the United States. The U.S. (^m-mand in a delayed report announced that an Army CHI observation helicopter supporting the operation was shot down Sunday and the two crewmen were killed. It was the fourth U.S. aircraft shot down in eastern Cambodia in the past five days, with a total of three Americans killed and two wounded.

done a fine job in getting the Foundation started and I am sure it will continue to grow. Mr. May has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the University and we know he will continue in that respect.
At this point a successor to the job has not been named but one wiU,probaUy be forthcoming in the very near future, officials indicated.
that his prospects, especially in this area, are much better now with Attorney General Robert Morgan out of the race.
Morton, viho visited Pitt CkHinty during his recent fpur-moihth tour of the state before sgnnoupcing his candidacy, was in (reenville Monday to talk with supporters and map early
campaign strategy.
The resort developer and photographer asserted that he had not done well in this wiP
drew from the race but noted he hoped to pick up many of the attorney gCTerals former supporters.
I
Morton said that after talking with Morgan this summer and having the friendship with him that he does, he now feels that Robert and Katie will vote for me for governor. The
candidate added that Morgan was the only many in the race he felt he could level with. Morton said that the state
needs a new___hreed oL
politicians In Raleigh, adding that North Carolina has lost jhe leadership and momentum it once enjoyed.
Where North Carolina once led the South in areas such as industria) employment and education, he said, "we are now facing second class status . , . Morton pointed out that he is tired of the East being
pitted against the West in North Clarolina and noted that the state needs to be tied together with an east-wesf highway. He said that we have-^-lo^^getbehind and push agencies like the Cjoastal Plain (Commission in the fight for highways.
He asserted that his aim is to build and upgrade the entire state, ^ying that in Raleigh, if you dont have the trust of the whole state, you cant expect to get anything done.
Replying to recent published accoimts quoting him as saying Governor Robert Scott is using his office to help Lt. <3ov. Pat Tay lor g u bar n alotijtL candidacy, Morton said that he had not initiated those comments about Scott but^ added he had not been able to tell he (Scott) has done anything to help my candidacy, so if he isnt helping me, he must be helping someone else.
Asked if he felt the governor was spending state
money on Taylors campaign, Morton said that most of the evidence is circumstantial.
Morton said that he hopes East Carolina University president Drleo Jenkmr does not decide to run for governor. I dont want to be running against him, he added.
The candidate said that he had county campaign chairmen in many areas of the state ani| indicated that be is looking for someone to head up a Pitt (Coimty committee.

Mdl-In-LBWS Get ^long Better What Readers Think About Invitation
fin bH# V* he indfled. [Female. Portland
By STELLA BRUCE Womens News Service
NEW YRK (WNST- Tfie next time you have a tiff with your sister-in-law at a family get-together, try to remember to spare a moment during the hostilities to glance in the direction of the husbands.
They'll probably be sitting silently with expressions which can be loosely tran^ slated as: How can we get away from these nagging women and slip out for a beer'"
A w'oman doesn't have to be married very long to realize that men, as a race, don't tike quarreling with their in-laws
"When a man marries, he not only takes his wife for better or for worse, he takes his in-laws too. " says leading sociologist Dr. Bernard Edison
He rarely starts off with any built-in prejudices, and he usually becomes quite fond of his new relations And if he doesn't unlike his wife
he usually doesn't say so!"
The facts bear him out. The latest figures collected by soxiological surveys show that over 60 per cent of wives have had tiffs, or worse, with their in-laws
(iuirk Of F'ate
Eor husbands, the percentage is under 30.
Of course, there's no logical reason why we should automatically get on with the people some quirk of fate has brought into our family, but it certainly makes life a lot easier if we do.
It doesn't mean that an in-law'. unlike a friend, has not been chosen by us, and it is therefore largely a matter of luck whether we have anything in common or not.
Sisters-in-law, sociologists have found, dont usually do very much to meet each other half-way. For the first few months, things are usually a little tense.
Dr. Edison says: We have found that a new arrival into the family is expected to take the initiative when it comes to making friends with the others.
On the other hand, a new in-law often feels, and perhaps with justification,

that she should be welcomed into the family."
Brothers-in-iaw, on the other hand, often get on well with each other from the start.
It's usually not long before theyre borrowing gardening equipment and returning it or helping each other with do-it-yourself jobs.
A survey conducted last year by Dr. Beryl Raike and a team of motivational researchers involved a questionnaire sent to 2,000 volunteers.
.\sk For Help
This included a series of questions on: How well do you get on with your in-laws*
Only 20 per cent of women replied that they would ever consider going on a vacation with Iheir in-laws.
Fiprty per cent of the men. on the other hand, said that they had spent ..leisure time with their brothers-in-law fishing, watching sports events, or similar activities), and that the outings had been Successful.
Nearly 20 per cent of the men. in reply to another question, said that if they were in deep trouble they would consider asking a brother-in-law for help. But

Wednesday morning winners were: Mrs. J. D. Mellon and Mrs. Jack Richards, first; Mrs. Guy Smith Sr. and Mrs. Wendell Smiley, second; Mrs. E. J. Edminister and Mrs. Jan Zurav, third.
Friday night winners included. Dr. and Mrs. George Martin, first M E. Gilstrap and Stan Morgan, second, Mr. and Mrs. Shaki Routh, third.
Saturday afternoon Unit Tournament winners were:
Mrs. Robert Barnhill and Mrs. Beulah Eagles, first; Mrs. J. S. Rhodes Jr. and Mrs. Roger Critcher Jr.. second, Mrs. Clifton Toler and Mrs. L. D. Harris, third;
Richard Anderson and George Martin, fourth . Mrs. D. J. Lewis and Mrs. Carmi Winters, fifth; Mrs. J. W. H. Roberts and Mrs. Lacy Harrell, sixth.
only nine per cent of the women said they would ever ask a sister-in-law.
Unfortunately. relations between brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are rarely so cordial.
An experienced marriage counselor told me that many marriage problems stem from in-laws moving in with couples, and that sisters-in-law take secondiphwre only to mothers-in-law as trouble-stirrers.
Hjt,mentioned a recent case involving a middle-aged spinster who moved in with her sister and her husband.
The husband regarded the move as an unnecessary intrusion into his home life, and feared that the sisters would gang up against him.
This, it seems, is exactly what happened. Eventually he moved into a nearby hotel, and there he stayed until his sister-in-law finally packed her bags.
Explained the counselor; This ganging-up is a thing often found among sisters, but rarely found in brothers. Women get together to criticize the male species, and this obviously causes resentment
In fact, such criticism
would seem a little harsh. MOTj as a group, seem to be able to handle married relationships much better than women.
More Cordial
A mans relationship with his father-in-law, for instance, is , usually more cordial tham his wifes with her motl^es^h-Iaw.
A man, says Dr. Raike, will usually accept a son-in-law as he is. Its the mother-in-law who thinks that he should improve himself in order to give her daughter a better standard of life.
One thing you must accept; no mother thinks any man is really quite good enough for her daughter!"
Most sons-in-law have a pretty shrewd idea that this is (he case. In country villages in Pakistan, for instance, the custom still persists of bringing a bridegroom face to face with his future mother-in-law the day before the wedding.
She then insults him with every known invective. The theory is that if he can take this lambastig without striking her insensible, anything his wife may say during their future married life shouldnt worry him too much!

Opening lead: Queen of 0 FaUIt for reaching an unsound six spade contract in todays hand lies squarely on Souths shoulders. The first two rounds of bidding were routine. South opened the bidding with his higher ranking five card suit, spades, and North made a jump shift to three diamonds, holding 19 high card points and a fit. When South showed his second suit, North gave a spade preference.
At this point. South should merely carry on to game by bidding four spades. The four heart call cannot be interpreted as anythmg but a slam try and North could not be restrained from carrying on to slam. Souths spade holding as well as the minimum nature of his opening bid should have alerted him to the necessity for slowing partner down.
Altho a club opening would have assured declarers ultimate defeat, inasmuch as the defenders cannot be prevented from scoring a trump trick after the ace of clubs is cashed, West chose to lead the queen of diamonds.
South briefly considered the possibility of cashing the two high trumps and then running his hearts, in the hope of discarding the three clubs from dummy. For this play to succeed, he would not only have to find a three-two division in spades, but also the player with the three trumps must hold four hearts, so that he is unable to ruff in until all of Norths clubs have been discarded.
The diamond suit offered greater probability of profitable establishment for a discard from his own hand. South accordingly won the first trick with the ace of diamonds, crossed over to
Curbing Oil Seepage
DENVER, N.C. (AP) - Oil from a tanker truck with 7,000 gallons of diesel fuel which overturned late Wednesday has seeped into Lake Norman, a fishing and water-supply area.
But steps have been taken to prevent additional seepage, although an environmental official said there had been a sheen of oil for five miles on the lake.
The official Jack Stonebrea-ker. assistant chief of the environmental emergency branch in the Atlanta office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is supervising the cleanup work.
He found that oil which spilled into a cornfield ran down a slope into a creek^ that feeds into a cove of Lake Norman.
A boom has been placed across the narrow cove to back up the oil. Feed sacks with petroleum-absorbent material have been attached to the boom. Others have been anchored in the cove. Workers also skimmed oil off the watr. Holes were dug in the cornfield to catch the oil seeping down the slope. The holes have absorbent material in them.
Stonebreaker says he thinks the lake now is in pretty good shape.
Officials said that to their knowledge no fish have been

round. East trumped with the seven of q>ades in the of promoting his partners hoiilmg in the trump suit, mm m&rmei wm the nine.
The deuce of qiades was led next, followed promptly wRh the three and after some consid^ati<m, declarer put in dummys eight. East showed out, discarding a club. South continued to establish diamonds by ruffing out,Wests jack even tho this reduc^ his spade holding to the ten-five, while West retained three trumps [the Q-J-6] and North, the lone ace-king.
A heart was led to the king and the now established eight of diamonds was played on which declarer finally unloaded his chib loser. West discarded a heart. A heart was led to the ace which West ruffed with the six of spades and returned the jack to dummys king. The king of clubs was put thru and tho East did not cover. South discarded a heart. The queen was covered by the ace and declarer ruffed with his last trump. The queen of hearts was led, trumped by West with the queen of spades, over trumped with the ace and Norths jack of clubs todt the final trick.
When South leads the deuce of spades from his hand, it does West no good to split his honors. North covers the jack of spades with the king and East shows out.
A fourth diamond is ruffed as before to establish dummys long card, and declarer starts running his hearts. West ruffs the third round with the three and dummy overruffs with the eight. The ace of spades is cashed leaving South with the ten and West with the queen. The eight of diamonds is led and the four of clubs is discarded. West presumably also sluffs a club. Now the king of clubs is put thru to ruff out Easts ace and altho South is out of trumps himself, he plays his high hearts. West can ruff with the queen of spades but must then surrender the last two tricks to dummys high clubs.
Had East discarded on the third round of diamonds instead of ruffing in, declarer would have most likely played the ace ai^ king of spades from dummy once < the long dipmond is established in the h<^ that trumps are three-two, in which case he would have gone set.

Will Discuss Farm Credif
Farm credit will be the subject for a workshop scheduled for Thursday, 1:30-4:30 p.m., in the new building at Pitt Technical Institute, it was announced today by Edwin L. Yancey, county extension chairman.
Yancey said that Dr. Hugh Liner and Dr. Duane Newman, extension farm management specialists, will present information and lead the workship discussion.
The extension chairman pointed out that the subject of credit is one of the most important considerations in farm management. The new machines and production practices needed in modern agriculture require large amounts of capital, he said, adding that a farmers ability to secure credit on terms and at rates that allow some flexibility may be the difference between success or failure.
Yancey said that all farmers and farm wives, bankers, agribusiness, and farm credit agency personnel are invited to attend and participate in the workshop.

Things are looking better for North Carolinas economy. N. C. National Bank economists report that the states economy showing broadly IBasect improvement, recovering steadily if not dramatically from the August slump.

solve Ihe problems of facilities and services.
North Carolina is a participant in a pioneering experiment to weld a viable partnership between Ihe three levels of government lor urban betterment.
Planned Variations is the name of the program launched by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Winston-Salem is one of 17 pilot cities selected from across Ihe nation.
If successful, the venture will break new ground in cooperative relationships between governments and build the proto-type for revenue sharing at the local level.
Watched With Interest
Municipal officials everywhere are watching with keen interest, said Leigh Wilson, executive director of the N.C. League of Municipalities which has a key role in fashioning machinery for the program.
Its quite a distinction for Winston-Salem to be selected for the trial run. Other cities of the state will benefit, too, from seeing early and at close-hand how Planned Variations works.
Now awaiting HUD approval is the plan worked out to give top-level review and evaluation for the specific activities of the program in Winston-Salem Its salient feature is direct involvement of the state and its agencies through a City-State Task Force. A broadly based spectrum of functional interests would be represented on the task force, whose members would be named in equal thirds by the governors office, the Winston-Salem mayor, and the League of Municipalities.
While emphasizing Winston-Salem interests, the task force would be statewide in membership.
Pattern May Spread This recognizes. Wilson explained, that while Winston-Salem is the focus the program may well set the pattern to be transferred
elsewhere
A steering committee for Ihe task force would be composed of the state director of Community Resources, the mayor, and Wilson as League executive 'The City-State Task Force, in addition to studying state fiscal resource allocations for local governments and potentials for coordinating delivery of those resources, will also offer the |x)ssibility to establish the states potential role in revenue sharing a hope for the sharing of funds already realized to some degree at the state level and still being pursued at the federal level in Congress. Wilson said.
A community development legislative package for the 1973 General Assembly also is seen as a definite possibility out of the Task Forces work, he added.
To underwrite the planning phase, a budget of about $97.000 is being developed with the state and Winston-Salem sharing about $37,000 and federal funds supplying the bulk.
Model Cities Outgrowth
Planned Variations is an outgrowth of the Model Cities program, operated over the past three or four years to concentrate federal-city resources in improving neighborhoods. North Carolina has four Model Cities Asheville, Charlotte, High Point, and Winston-Salem .
The new approach recognizes that a weakness in previous efforts for urban improvement has been the lack of state involvement, Wilson said.
There has been a gap between the resources of federal and stfite governments to municipalities, he said. Through coordination, better use can be made of the total funds and services available to solve problems.
A significant promise in Planned Variations, he continued, is the construction of machinery through which local governments can make long-range plans.
One of the real bottlenecks has been that when a city sits down to make its budget, it has no way of knowing what will be available from the state and its agencies, he said. The hope is that the task force can develop ways in which the city can plan its development with prior knowledge of state resources to be made available.
While the task force will supply the political base, a technical assistant team at work for two years with Model Cities in North Carolina will focus on Winston-Salems problems. Both will be needed, in HUDs view. for meaningful progress.

The figures developed by NCNB economists are encouraging as North Carolina, along with the nation, continue to snap back from sluggish economic conditions. The states big textile industry has been plagued with problems created in part by foreign competition. However, many other industries have remained strong.

A Promising Gesture To Improved Relations
Greenville Jaycees and the Phi Beta Lambda business fraternity at ECU have exchanged resolutions calling for improved relations and understanding between the community and ECU.
Mike Dolan the fraternity president said, We hope we can accomplish much for the university and local community by working together.
Dave Gordon, Jaycee president saw it as a Beginning of good relations between the community and ECU. Dean James Bearden saw the exchange as a milestone.
This is a very forward step by the campus and city organizations. If the program is continued much can be done to improve city and campus relations.
Where Nixon Lacking Votes
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK
MILLVALE, Pa. -President Nixon, though winning his battle against George Meany hands down, is badly losing the war against his potential Democratic foes for the Presidency in this industrial suburb of Pittsburgh.
The lower-income white union men who live here, most of them registered Democrats, surprisingly side with Mr. Nixon against AFL-CIO president Meany in their nasty quarrel over economic controls. But they overwhelmingly support each of three top Democrats over Mr. Nixon for President.
This is the unmistakable message of our interviews with Millvale voters conducted with the help of the Oliver Quayle polling organization. Accompanied by expert polltakers Alice Guthrie and Helen Brown, we found Mr. Nixons Neur Economic Policy (NEP) had not softened inbred anti-Republican sentiment in two working-class districts.
The implications are grim for White House strategists, who count on Mr. Nixons NEP to win over the workingman. They have been smugly satisfied over the Presidents propaganda war with Meany, particularly Mr. Nixons victory in the battle of Bal Harbour, Fla., where the President addressed the AFL-CIO convention. But interviews here point to little gain among white workers and, therefore, another cliffhanging election in 1972.
Superficially, our findings
here are cause for mild Republican cheer. Out of 57 voters interviewed, 51 are registered Democrats and 37 come from families with labor union members. Yet, among those with an opinion, 25 backed Mr. Nixon and only 9 supported Meany.
Attacking the salary increase voted Meany by the AFL-CIO convention, a 50-year-old steel worker told us Meany causes a bad reflection on the labor movement. The 19-year-old wife of a machinist said: I dont like Meanys attitude. He doesnt even care about high prices. Indeed, union member and their wives expressed deep misgivings about labor leaders.
Yet. the steel worker, the machinists wife and many others indicated support for any Democrat against Mr. Nixon. Out of 57 voters, Mr. Nixon got 12 votes against Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, 14 against Sen. Edmund S. Muskie and 17 against Sen. Hubert Humphrey around the 26 per cent level he ran in these districts in 1968. Whats more, his job-app^oval rating here is an anemic 29 per cent.
In fact, although 46 of 57 voters express approval of Mr. Nixons NEP, interrogation indicates less than complete enchantment. After indicating approval, a 65-year-old watch repairman added; But its not really working. Prices are still going up.
The more significant indicator is that only 22 of 57 feel economically better off than five years ago disturbing for an incumbent

Strength For Today
ON THE SQUARE
Are you a square or are you on the square? 'There is a vast difference between them. Kids are great for calling people squares especially their parents. The term has never been adequately defined, but everybody knows what is being talked about (and who is being talked about) when oneUs spoken of as a square.
The term on the square is different. About the best thing that can ever be said of a person is that he (or she) is on the square This means honest and truthful. It means tolerant and understanding. It means being willing to sound off with praise and keep the lips pretty tightly hold on gossip.
Persons in high office sometimes are not noted for being on the square. Unfair individuals would lump together most of the peoiile
that belong to and vote the opposite political ticket as being a bit touched in the head or looking out for their own interests. The front page of most newspapers carried the account some months ago of a humble chap who sold shoe Taces and" oThef~Tn-significant items from door to door, was known to thousands and always afraid nobody would come to his funeral. When he died, the streets of the city in which he lived experienced the worst traffic congestion in years. Everyone agreed that the little door-to-door salesman I got what was coming to him.
Where does greatness abide? Ponder that for a few minutes. Maybe youre one of the great. Maybe the kid that is under everybodys feet will be President of the United States fifty years from now. Who Igiows?

For 'Everyone But Us'
On the evening of Wednesday, December l, the Senate approved an embarrassing, unwarranted and indefensible amendment to the pending Economic Stabilization Act. I have not written of this amendment before, in the hope that the thing would quietly go away Sad to say, it seems to be lingering on.
This is the amendment, sponsored chiefly by Senator Alan Cranston of California, that would relieve newspapers, magazines, book publishers, and the radiotelevisin industry from the price and wage controls that apply to everyone else. In the holy jkame of the First Amendment. the exemption would accord special privileges to the press. If we have the good sense we are supposed to have, we ought to renounce it out of hand.
it is no justification that a gutless number of other trades, services and products also would be exempt from Phase Two - seafood, jewelry, antiques, art objects, and the like There is indeed something acutely irksome in Cranstons simple question.
If all these. he asked.
why not the pressd Why wigs, but not newspapers?
Why furs, but not books? Why taxidermy. but not magazines. radio and television?
The short answer, perhaps, is that Walter Cronkite is not a stuffed moose, and the communications industry carries rather more economic impact than the sale of wigs and rockers.
Short answers will no( suffice. The tenuous rationalization for this amendment is that newsmen are either golden boys or

wonders. It is suggested that we might accept special favors, or we might get chilled. This is how Cranston put it:
The Wage and Price Control Boards will be dealing not only in across-the-board guideline rulings applicable to all newspapers, all magazines, all TV stations, and so forth; they will be dealing with individual case-by-case requests for pay or price adjustments... This does open the way potentially and rather clearly to different treatment for different companies, and there is at least the danger all we are concerned about is' the danger of, first, the Board treating a critic differently from a friend and, second, a critic moderating his criticism when he knows he is going to go before a government board and ask for special consideration.
'This is, or ought to be, nonsense. By this insulting line of reasoning, newspapers and TV stations should be exempt from any tax assessment. zoning regulation, or lawsuit that depends upon some decision by a public agency or official. We ought to be kept in antiseptic isolation from the world around us. and we ought to be spared the burdens of mortal men. Humbug!
The amendment is wrong in principle. It has practical defects as well. In its original form, the amendment also would have included entertainers in Ihe blanket exemption, on the plausible grounds that the First Amendment applies to actors. playwrights, motion picture producers, and stand-up satirists who work the nightclub circuit.

Vast Revolution In Taxation
By ELMER ROESSNER
'There is going to be a vast revolution in the collection of state and local taxes. There have already been signs of change, with states getting into the lottery business and cities into bookmaking. But these are only signals of deeper changes to come. TTiere ls going to be a whole new ball game, with new rules and new parks.
'The big change has been triggered by the California Supreme (Tourt which has ruled th^t the states school district assessment system is unconstitutional. Since edfch district raised most of its own money, districts with well-to-do populations have been able to afford fine schools with swimming pools and well-paid staffs, while poor districts have been able to offer only cheap education.
Lawyers, educators and scKool suppliers have hailed the (^ecision and predict that it will eventually be adopted
throughout the land.
Since almost every school district in the country is supported with local taxes with varying amounts of

federal, state and county, it is apparent that a new system of raising money for education is imperative. And since education is the largest single non-federal expense, it is clear that a new tax-raising approach is required.
Federal Aid Not Enough A year ago a vsst proposal for sharirig federal revenues with the states was proposed. While it fhay be talked up against as a means of solving Ihe new problem, it will probably fall by its own
weight again, in tact, the proposal will be more heavily weighted than ever because school costs are so large that federal support of public ^hools would require an enormous increase in federal income taxes.
There are other factors affecting state and local governments. It has long been a quaint American custom to provide the politically faithful with state and local jobs. Wages and salaries, particularly those of the patronage type, have been pushed higher l|)y inflation, and the t^ise of unemployment has rhade it politically important to make more jobs.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court has ruled in no uncertain) terms that local governments must care for the indigents within their gates.. including those y|rh prefer the climfte or the welfare rates of special
areas.
Reform Proposals 'The Nixon Administration is concerned about this situation and about ito submit some proposals to Congress. These would attempt to reform state collection methods to reap more taxes from income and less from property. ^
This would be done by simplifying provisions by which the Internal Revenue Service would collect additional income taxes for the states and allowing more generous deducat ions of state taxes from federal assessments. It would also reduce deducat ions for property taxes, thereby discouraging states from levying such taxes.
The public, by voting down bond issues more frequently, has revolted against property taxes, which must eventually pay off all state and local bond issues, plus interest and handling costs.

Durham Motel Fire Controlled
DURHAM (AP) - ^ blaze caused by a natural gas fire in a kitchel broiler burped out of control for nearly an hour at the Downtowner Motor Inn near the heart of downtown Durham early today.
Firemen brought the blaze under control after flames had gutted (he kitchen interior and caused the roof to collapse.
No injuries were reported to the 1*70 guests at the motel. The third floor of the four-story structure and all rooms adjacent to the kitchen were evacuated. The motel was filled to capacity.
No damage estimate was immediately available.
The fire was reported first by employes of the motel, and moments later by a security guard at a nearby office building.
Assistant Fire Chief J. A. I.etzing said flames could be seen above the roof of the building when firemen reached

Mrs. Ruby Williams, a motel employe who was working in the kitchen, said she was cooking bacon on the gas broiler when it just exploded.
She said she called another employe, who put out the broiler blaze with a fire extinguisher, but moments later a rumbling noise was heard on (he roof.
W. E. McNary, the motel manager since the facility opened four years ago, said evacuation procedures ' were performed as a precaution. He noted that firewalls completely separated all rooms from the kitchen and dining areas.

Official concern *for three U.S. citizens still known to be held in Chinese prisons is keeping the State Department very close-mouthed about the whole affair except for expressing gratification over release of Fecteau and Miss Harbert, who was arrested in April 1968.
This is a very sensitive matter, one official said, we dont want to rock the boat or say anything that might endanger the others.

President. Nor do they feel Mr. Nixon helps matters. His job-approval on inflation is 42 per cent and on unemployment only 20 per cent.
Whats worse for Mr. Nixon, these blue-collar workers simply dont flfiink he is fair: 40 complained that his NEP favors business at the workingmans expense, 12 said he was generally fair and 5 were not sure. Further questioning revealed suspicions that the President cracks down on them while rewarding rich supporters.
His price freeze is a joke, said a widowed 38-year-old mother of five. The businessmen are getting rich. a 42-year old steel worker told us; Nixon aint for the workingman. He froze our wages but not wages of people making the most money.
Despite economic distress, Millvales voters were evenly divided over whether economics or the social issue (crime, drugs, etc.) is more important. But our voters give Mr. Nixon worse grades on handling street crime than even economics; only 19 per cent.
Thus does Richard Nixons famous victory over George Meany in the battle of Bal Harbour pale into insignificance. The lesson of Millvale is that such flashy but surface victories are not enough to shatter Democratic loyalties of white workingmen. Rather, he must at least convince them his policies are in the workers interests. Until then, the workers, even if not enthralled with Meany, are a long way from trusting the man in the White House.
The others are John Thomas Downey. Air Force Capt. Phillip E. Smith and Navy Lt. Robert Flynn.
Downey, 41, and Fecteau, 43, were captured in November 1952 when their plane was shot dov^n flying from Korea to Japan. Both were described at the time as civilian employes of the Army. ^
The Chinese accused them of arranging air-drops of Nationalist espionage agents onto the mainland, and sentenced Fecteau to 20 years in prison and Downey to a life term.
Smith, of Victorville, Calif., was shot down near the Chinese island of Hainan in 1965. Two years later, Flynn, of Oak Harbor, Wash., was downed while flying near the North Vietnamese border with China.
There is an air of mystery

reconsideration, entertainers were dropped. But a vast deal of the communications industry is not engaged in the dissemination of information and ideas conQerning public affairs. It is engaged purely and simply in entertainment. Dean Martin in Las Vegas, or Dean Martin on TV, is the same Dean Martin. It is ludicrous to suggest that he can be chilled in the casino and thawed on the tube.
Once before, in the matter of the Failing Newspaper Act, I reproached my brethren of the press for accepting special privilege. That exemption (from antitrust laws) was at least of limited application. The Cranston amendment, by contrast, carves out an anormous loophole in the application of uniform price and wage controls.
Many segments of the industry, 1 know, are in trouble- Production costs keep climbing. Postal rate increases alone will compel some upward price adjustments. But we of the press must take our lumps like everyone else. So long as controls remain the law of the land, we will sound awfully hollow, under the Cranston amendment, in urging their firm restraint on other men but not on us

Officials said they were not informed of Miss Herberts detention nor the reported suicide of McLaughlin until we were told recently by the Peoples Republic of China that two would be released.

The Romans, says the National Geographic Society, believed that a sprig of mistletoe assured safe passage across the River Styx into Hades. In Sweden chewing mistletoe was thought helpful for ulcer victims; in England it was also thought to be a cure for epilepsy.

History lesson; Can you name which U.S. presidents bore the following nicknames; American Fabius; Hero of New Orleans; Preacher President, and Prince Arthur? They were George Washington, Andrew Jackson, James Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur.
Downey and Fecteau were spies as a move to bring jibput ^eir release. ^
The State Department said Monday there was no change in the old U.S. position that the charges were trumped up. But they expressed hope that Downey, whose term was reduced to serving another five years, would be released early and the two servicemen freed.
The White House and the State Department acknowledged Monday what had been suspected since the whole matter was revived; that presidential adviser Henry Kissinger discussed the American prisoners with Chinese Premier (Thou En-lai during Kissingers two trips to the mainland.
Officials in the State Department wouldnt go infe) detail concerning Kissingers discussions. - -

'No Mercy For Manson
By LYLE W. PRICE Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) - For the secrnid time Charles Manson has left a courtroom here for San Quentins Death Row with a judges verdict urging no mercy.
This is an appropriate case for the death penalty, Superior Court Judge Charles H. Older had declared in confirming a jurys death verdict for the slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six others.
On Mnday, concluding Man-sons trial for two other murders, Superior Court Judge Raymond Choate said he hoped Manson will never be paroled from a life sentence because he would be a danger to any community in which he was released.
Manson then was put aboard a Sheriffs Department bus for the 45(Hnile ride to San Quentin to wait out his appeals and court rulings on the death penalty. He had been there briefly last spring before he was returned to stand trial for two other murders. All eight occurred in 1969.
Congress awarded 50 Congressional Medals of Honor to World War 1 heroes.
B-W Product Said To Meet Standards
Burroughs Wellcome Co. announced that a recent national newspaper article based on the findings of a medical paper has caused a flood of inquiries.
Burroughs Wellcome said that the story was based on the findings of a medical paper on the effectiveness of digoxin, one of the major drugs used in the treatment of heart conditions. Four manufacturers products were involved in the story, it was reported, but only one was found to give the proper results.
The company said that because the manufacturers were unnamed in the news article, and since B. W. Co. produces some 77 per cent of the digoxin used in the United States, considerable concern has been expressed by physicians, pharmacists, and ^^tients.
A spokesman reported that the

study rpvealed that the Burroughs Wellcome brand was the only one of the four tested which showed correct pharmacologic activity and said continued use and prescription of the brand is not questioned.
Burroughs Wellcome announced that the current official standards used in evaluating digoxin, which was discovered and developed by the company, were originally established in collaboration with B. W. Co.

NEW YORK (AP) Hanging out the college football wash:
The Big Eights success this seasonNebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado all in the Top Ten and all going to bowls, along with Iowa Statehasnt gone unnoticed in the Southwest Conference.
What hurts, is that theyre doing it with a large measure of help from Texas boysGreg Pruitt. Jack Mildren. Tom Brahaney. Jon Harrison and Steve Aycock of Oklahoma: Charlie Davis and Cliff Branch of Colorado.
But what really bugs the SWC folks is that theyre not permitted to contact a high school prospect until after his senior year of eligibility while NCAA and Big Eight rules al
low such contact after a players junior year.
Hell, theyre down here right now, Darrell Royal of Texas griped several weeks ago. Oklahoma, Nebraska. Coloradoyou name them. Im not saying this is our field of cotton because we go out of state, but wed like an equal chance with the teams that are coming in.
The SWC powers-that-be met in Dallas last week to talk things over, but delayed any action until after the NCAA Convention early next month i Hollywood. Fla.
We discussed but did not act upon the recruiting situation, said Howard Grubbs, executive secretary. What we do depends on what the NCAA does.
Among proposals to be dis
cussed by the NCAA members are limiting the number of stholarships and financial aid based on need.
We are well into the recruiting season now and its too late to act this year, said Grubbs. We will be in a better position to know after the NCAA meeting. Our coaches felt that, ideally, our rules are better. But to stay with it weve got to be joined by others.

OAK CITY With plenty of experience. Coach HehTy Land is looking for the,,Oak City Trojans to repeat as the Martin County Conference champions this year.
And he and his team have their eyes set on a berth in the State Class A Tournament before it is all oveh.
I maybe jujmping the gun, Land said, but I do feel that we have a chance to win the district tournament. Two of the strongest teams in the tournament should be Pantego and Belhaven. Weve played Paniego already and split with them. (The loss howeveTv came when Land benched three of his starters for coming to practice late.) We play .Belhaven tomorrow night-, Theyre unbeaten so far, so^e should get a real test then.
So far this year, the Trojans are 4-2. Their only other loss was to 3-A D. H. Conley, another unbeaten.
There are two starters bacjt from last years championship team, Edward Briley and Howard Peele. We had eight other letterraen back when practice opened, Land said, but were down to 10 people overall now. One got hurt, and two others have had to drop because of grades, he added.
homas Jack Mildren for some optimistic advice against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
Mildrens reply: Get hurt before the game!
This is how Oklahomas offense has changed since 1969. Speedy Greg Pruitt told cloud-of-dust Steve Owens, the 69 Heisman Trophy winner: In our offense, four yards is b busted play.
With the two starters and fhe wealth of lettermen. Land feels that the team is loaded with experience. This is the first year of the nine Ive been coaching that I really have a strong bench, Land said, Its been successful for us. We really dont have the speed we did last year, but our experience has helped make up for it. Weve had someone come off the bench in nearly every game to help spark us, and I cant help but feel were the strongest in the conference bcause of this.
The height on the team is good for a Class A school. Briley is the tallest man at 6-4, and he does his share of rebounding. Were going well on the boards against people in our class, Land said. Conley out rebounded us pretty bad. but theyre a 3-A school, too. We didnt block out as well against them But I feel like we can handle about anyone in our class. Most of the teams we play haye less experience, too.
While the speed isnt what it was last year, since two fast guards were lost to graduation. Land feels that the ability of the team to get the ball off the^ boards has helped to make up for this. Weve had the right people in the right places at the right times, and weve been able to run the break despite not having as much speed.
Shooting has been very good from the floor, from both outside and inside. Foul shooting, however, has been a problem, and Land admits that this phase of the game needs work.
Defensively, the Trojans run a 2-1-2 pressing zone. Its been pretty successful so far, Land said. We play very little man-to-man defense.
Currently, Land is starting Briley, Peele, Wayne Jones,
Jerry Spruill and Whit Whitfield. The second unit of Ronald Duggins, Russell Gotten, Shelton Jones, Calvin Worsiey and Milton Bridges, is just a step behind them. Land feels. They dont have the height, but theyre just as good.
Land feels that Jamesville will probably be the chief team that Oak City has to contend with on the way to the title. I feel with our bench and experience we should win it.
If we can keep our spirit up. and keep the basic drive going, well be all right. We want to win. We want to go all the way, he said.

Redskins Bring Joy To Allen's Homecoming By Ripping The Rams
By RON ROACH Associated Press Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - It was billed as a civil war. And to some it was The result put George Allens Washington Redskins into the National Football League s National Conference playoffs.
The 38-24 Washington victory Monday night left Los Angeles' Rams. Allen's team for five years before he was fired and nmved on to Washington, with a longshot opportunity for the playoffs.
It was Allens first game against the Rams since he was fired after making winners of the Los Angeles club. He said afferward that theres ho bitterness with my relationship with the Rams. I'm glad to win and glad to be back in the Coliseum although it's my first time in the visitors' dressing room."
The Rams, under former UCLA coach Tommy Prothro. were rated one touchdown better before the kickoff. The pregame talk was Washington defense vs. Los Angeles offense.
The passing potential of Bill Kilmer didnt draw much notice. But the 31-year-old No. 2 " Washington quarterback, playing ahead of the mending Sonny Jurgensen. threw three touchdown passes as the Redskins ran up their highest point total of the season.
Washington could win the Eastern Division on Sunday if it defeats Cleveland and first-place Dallas loses to St. Louis. But. with its 9-3-1 record.
Washington is assured of the NFC wild-card playoff berth going to the club with the best runner-up record.
The Rams, 7-5-1, meanwhile, are through for the season unless they beat or tie Pittsburgh and Detroit upsets San Francisco on Sunday. The 49ers

broke all records for a regular season televised game with an average of 13.6 million homes in the Nielsen ratings. The previous high was 13.3 million
homes for the 1970 Notre
Dame-Southern Cal game.
You keep finding out that nothings ever really new in football, certainly not Floridas much-discussed lie-down against Miami, deliberately giving up a touchdown so John Reaves could get back on the field and set a national pass yardage record.
Washington allowed Washington State to score in their 1950 meeting so Don Heinrich could come back and set a national pass completion mark.
moved half a game ahead of Los Angeles when the Rams lost to Washington.
The Redskins brought eight ex-Rams into Memorial Coliseum on a cold, blustery night for the nationally televised contest.
They included linebacker Jack Pardee, who said, After the first pileup I forgot what side I was on and headed for the Ram bench
A seconxl-strtng defensive back whos very big on Allens special teams, Ted Vactor. gave the Redskins two big plays, and each coach gambled on fourth-down plays. Allen won and Prothro lost.
After Curt Knight tied his personal distance mark with a wind-aided 52-yard field goal to tie the score at 10-10 in the second quarter, the Rams drove to the Washington 19. On fourth and two, the Rams passed up a field goal attempt and quarterback Roman Gabriel was stopped by Pardee one yard short of a first down.
We did it because we thought we could make it, said Prothro. I think we do that a lot of times.
Kilmer threw awfully well. We had a bad football game and they had a good one
Allen, considered the more conservative of the two coaches, made his gamble after Vactor blocked a 29-yard field goal attempt and Kilmer capitalized with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Clifton McNeil for a 17-10 lead.
Vactor, a three-year veteran from Nebraska, recovered a fumble on the next kickoff at the Los Angeles four. Including an automatic first down on a defensive holding penalty against the Rams, it took Washington seven plays to score, with Larry Brown carrying in on fourth down and the football less than a foot from the end zone.

A Gabriel interception, his first of three in the game, set up what proved to be the winning touchdown in the third quarter. Mike Bass outfought Lance Rentzel for the ball at the Rams 45 and three plays later Kilmer threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Roy Jefferson for a 31-10 lead.
The Rams struck first when Kilmers former UCLA teammate, Kermit Alexander, intercepted his pass and raced 82 yards for a touchdown.
But Washington struck quickly when Kilmer hit Jefferson on the Rams 27 and Jefferson beat defenders Jimmy Nettles and Dave Elmendorf on a 70-yard touchdown play.
That helped our momentum, said Kilmer, but th" key was when I hit Clifton for a touchdown and then they fumbled the kickoff.
The back-to-back plays made a hero of Vactor, who explained, I was just lucky, I guess.
Richmond Goes Against 'Cats
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the eight years Lewis Mills has been head basketball coach at the University of Richmond, only twice have Davidsons Wildcats had what could be described as less than spectacular teams.
One was in 1966-67 and the other last year, but the Wildcats 1-2 beginning so far this season could make it three.
Mills, however, hasnt had much success with the Wildcats good or mediocre. His Spiders have beaten the Wildcats just once in 19 tries in those eight years, winning 72-69 at Richmond on Jan. 4, 1967.
The Spiders have lost the last 11 meetings between the Southern Conference opponents, and Mills would like the string to end right there.
He and the Spiders get their chance tonight when Davidson, in the conference basement with an 0-2 record for the first time since 1961, invades Richmond in the only action for league teams. Richmond is 2-3 over all but tied for second in the conference standings at 1-0.
A victory tonight would send the Spiders into a tie for the lead with AVilliam and Marys Indians.
Defending champion Furman is still probably the best team in the conference, says Mills, but the conference is a lot better balanced than Ive ever seen it. It looks like everybodyll be in there scrapping til the end. The end, of course, is the championship tournament in March.
All conference teams were idle Monday night.
tuckys coach in 1930, the Wildcats have won an amazing total of 858 games while losing only 183. They also have won the NCAA title four times, the National Invitation Tournament championship once and the Southeastern Conference crown a record 26 times.
Maryland, ranked 15th in the latest Associated Press poll, was the only other member of the Top 20 in action Tuesday night, and the Terrapins trampled Georgetown, D.C., 79-46 as 6-foot-ll sophomore Tom McMillen erupted for 32 points.
UCLA, winner of the last five NCAA championships, easily retained its position atop the rankings in this weeks voting. The Bruins, unbeaten in four games, received 37 first-place votes and 898 points in outdistancing Marquette, which finished second with 708 points.
South Carolina was third, followed by North Carolina, Penn, Brigham YoTiiii; KenWchy, St. Johns, N.Y., Florida State and Ohio State and Southern California, who tied for 10th.
Then came Indiana, Long Beach State, Jacksonville, Maryland, Southwestern Louisiana, Louisville, Princeton, Virginia and Houston.
Rupp, the winningest coach in collegiate basketball history, said he was bitterly disappointed over the Wildcats loss to Michigan State. We should have beaten that team, he added.
Michigan States Mike Robinson and Kentuckys 6-11 Jim Andrews shared game scoring honors with 32 points apiece. But Andrews often was slow getting up and down the court, enabling Michigan State to dominate the rebounding.
Rupp also was disappointed in the play of his guards. He said he sent in every play in the first half and the guards ran only two of them. What kind of guard play is that?
McMillen, Marylands herald- ed center, hit 11 of 15 field goal attempts and 10 of 11 free throws in leading the Terrapins past Georgetown. He scored 12 points an 8>/^-minute span late in the second half when Maryland outscored Georgetown 29-7, boosting its lead from 45-35 to 74-42.
I thought we were playing a little too cautious at the start of the game, said Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell.
But, Driesell said he was satisfied with the teams over-all play I thought we played the game like we planned, he concluded.
Elsewhere, unbeaten ^ Missouri, bdiind John Browns 32 points, rolled to its sixth victory, beating St. Francis, Pa. 104-%; Kansas State broke loose for 52 points in the second half and routed Creighton 90-68; Bobby Jacks 21 points and 11 rebounds led Oklahoma to a 79-73 victory over Alabama, and Arkansas equalled the highest point total ever scored against Oklahoma State, thrashing the Cowboys 90-76.
Also, Wisconsin stretched its winning streak to four games, the longest string in John Pow-less four seasons as coach, overpowering Florida Tech 90-58; Iowa, leading by 13 points with three minutes left, held on for an 87-85 victory over Nevada; Henry Wilmores 33 points, 24 in the first half, paced Michigan to a 91-80 triumph over the Australian National team, and Texas, sparked by Larry Robinsons 31
points, whii^>ed the touring Athletes in Action 115-90.
New Mexico State pulled away from Arizona in the fmal 15 minutes for an 89-73 victory; Auburn handed Mississippi its first loss in six games, 85-75, in the SEC opener for both teams; undefeated Maine upset Rhode Island 58-53 in a Yankee Conference game; Marshall won its fourth in a row, flogging More-head 105-83, and Harvard scored the first 15 points and coasted to a 104-77 triumph over Boston University in the title game of the Beanpot Tournament.

Another Oiler Coach Is Fired
By MICHAEL A. LUTZ Associated Press Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Oiler coaching staff has been caught in a cross-fire.
The first ^ot was fired last month when Oiler General Manager John Breen and owner Bud Adams decided to fire offensive line coach Ernie Zwahlen without head coach Ed Hughes consent.
A volley from the other side dropped another assistant coach Monday when Hughes relieved offensive backfield coach Walt Schlinkman, who had been with the Oilers since their formation and had been on good terms with management.
Hughes didnt try to hide his displessure with Zwahlen's release. Breen wouldnt say if he approved of Schlinkmans dismissal but he praised Schlinkmans work and said he^was not consulted on the move.
There was speculation Hughes might be retaliating against the management for dismissing Zwahlen, who came to the Oilers with Hughes from
San Francisco. Later Monday afternoon Hughes fired Oiler equipment manager Johnny Gonzalez, who was completing his seventh season with the Oilers.
Hughes declined to say why he fire(i Schlinkman but Schlinkman was quick with a statement saying that ^ Hughes told him he was fired because I have not made a contribution to the offensive game plans this year.
I am pleased that coach Hughes has made this statement because I want the public and fans to know that I am not responsible for the Oilers offensive game plans or offensive performance this year, Schlinkman said.
Hughes timing in firing Schlinkman was peculiar with only one game remaining this season. It also came only hours after the Oilers had won their second straight game, 20-14 over Buffalo.
Hughes said George Dickson, the Oiler kicking coach, would assume Schlinmans duties.

Ciiarlie Scott is the highest scorer in professional basketball this season, yet he is being criticized.
He has come under fire for shooting too much and handling the ball too often. But there could be little fault with his play Monday night, as the 6-foot-5 guard pumped in 43 points, leading the Virginia Squires to a 123-115 American Basketball Association victory over the slumping Floridians.
Carolina broke a six-game losing streak, beating the Utah Stars 124-115 in the only other ABA contest.
Scotts 43-point performance was the 11th time in the last 12 games that he has scored 40 or more points, raising his seasons average to better than 35 points per game.
Because of numerous Virginia injuries, Scott has been forced to carry an extra scoring load and handle the ball more than usual, directing the teams offense like a football quarterbackand for that he has been criticized.
The quarterback is most open to criticism because he handles the ball the most, he said. Its just like football. When you win, the quarterback gets the publicity; when you lose, he gets the blame.
Someone has to do it, he
continued, and I will as long as A1 (coach A1 Bianchi) wants me to.
If I felt I was hurting the club, I would cut down on my shooting. In fact, when all our injured players get back to par. Ill probably be shooting less. It would be tough to keep up this average anyway. How many guards average 35 points a game?
None, except Scott.
Rookie Julius Erving chipped in with 23 points for the Squires, who moved within U:> games of idle first-place Kentucky in the Eastern Division. Mack Calvins 24 points topped the Floridians, who lost their fourth straight game.
Carolina, handing Utah only its third loss in 19 games, rallied from an 81-72 deficit in the third quarter on the hot shooting of George Lriimann.
Lehmann hit 13 of 16 field goal attempts and scored 36 points, 18 in the fourth period.
Larry Miller added 25 points for the Cougars, while Zelmo Beaty was high for Utah with 33 points.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Marylands heralded sophomore Tom McMillen, who had made only four points in his last game, scored 32 in leading the 15th-ranked Terrapins to a 79-46 victory over Georgetown Monday night.
Maryland was ahead by only 10 points with 9:39 left to play when it switched from a man-to-man to a zone defense and outscored the Hoyas 29-7 in the next 8'^ minutes or so.
McMillen hit four field goals and four free throws in the spurt. He didnt commit a foul in the game.^
It was the third victory of the season for Maryland against one loss, 78-57, to Virginia last Wednesday, the game in which McMillen scored only four points.
Georgetown is 1-3.
Maryland hit 56.2 per cent of its field goal attempts, including 71.4 per cent in the second half.
Maryland was the only Atlantic CJoast Conference team to play Monday night, and ACC clubs are idle tonight.

She did so.

Having minored in English as an undergraduate and also for my Fh.D., I can truthfully tell you that you really learn more English grammar and vocabulary by studying just two years of high school Latin than by 12 years of the usual English courses!
WILMINGTON. N. C. (AP) Civil rights leader Golden Frinks was sentenced in New Hanover District Court Monday to two consecutive twoijrear prison terms on charges of inciting to a riot and engaging in a riot. He was acquitted on two other charges.
Another defendant, Janice Murray, 18, was given a six-month sentence for engaging in a riot. A similar case against Anthony Ray Henry is expected to wind up today.
Notice of appeal to Superior Court was given in all the cases.
The charges grew out of a incident on June 9 when the defendants were accused of entering two stores and overturning counters and damaging merchandise.

Admiral Byrd's Pilot Denies '
Claim Of Flight Over N. P'^lo
By VKRN IIAUGLAND AP Aviation Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The pilot for Richard E. Byrd on the first air crossing of the South Pole in 1929 says the flying admiral lied in claiming to have made the first flight over the North Pole three years earlier.
It was an out-and-out lie, Bernt Balchen said in an interview. Byrd's whole fame was based on that storybased on a fraud." Balchen. 72. retired Air Force colonel, is recovering in Washington from major surgery
The accusation comes on the fiOfh anniversary of the South Pole's discovery. On Dec. 14, 1911. Norwegian explorer Roald .Amundsen dogsledded to the South Pole and planted his nation's flag. The expedition is well documented.
Balchen said that Byrd's pilot on the May 9. 1926. Arctic mission. Floyd Bennett, confided in him later that the claim of crossing the North Pole was false.
Floyd told me the whole story. " Balchen said. They never got that far away from their base at Spitsbergen, and, if Bvrd flew toward the Pole, he
didnt get as close to it as Roald Amundsen did a year earlier130 miles from the Pole."
Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth, piloting two Domier-Wal flying boats, set down in ncy water on their 1925 attempt and were rescued by a Norwe^ gian sealing ship.
If Balchen > account is accepted by historians, Amundsen rather than Byrd would be credited with the first North Pole crossing. Amundsen flew across the North Pole with Ellsworth and Umberto Nobile in I he It alian-built dirigible Norge less than two days after the Byrd flight.
Balchens account cannot be disputed by those making the flight. Byrd died in March 1957 after a long illness. Bennett died in a rescue expedition in 1928.
Balchen said the light Fokker iri-motor which Byrd and Bennett flew could not have accomplished what Byrd claimed. He said he later became a test pilot for the Fokker Aircraft Corp and came to know the Dutch-built planes performance well.
The plane had a cruising speed of 67 miles an hour and
carried gasoline for 26 hours, he said. They were out for 154 hours, and to negotiate the distance Byrd claimed, they would have to make a cruising speed of 106 miles an hour.
Asked why he has remained silent over the years, Balchen said he put the facts in his book Come North With Me, but the publishers deleted them because of pressure from Byrds supporters.
Did Balchen ever mention his doubts about the North Pole flight to Byrd himself?
I opened up once, and he just blew up. Balchen said. He told me never to mention it again.

No Retreat By Governor On Simmons
RALEIGH (^) Gob^ Bgfe Scotl strongly (iefended Monday his appointment of former State Democratic Chairman Eugen Simmons as director of conservation and development and made it plain he has no intention of withdrawing the nomination.
Scotl told newsmen at a news fonterence that Simmons of-fered^lo resign the $25.410 job hut I told him I have a job for him and I want him to get in there and do it.
The governor asserted that, ('dilors can write and political
candidatai can Ulb iBUilJiacles freezes over, but I will not withdraw my appototment of Eugene Simmons because they think I ^MHild do So."
Scott told the,newsmen that the C&D directorship was a full lim position despite state gov-eminent nsot^antzation which sifted the C4D department into the new State oimrtment of Natural ahjji Epnomic Resources. /
Scott read a five-page paper in which he maintained that the ('&D department still exists on the states statute books. Scott
woted that reorganization stripped ^ CAD director of budget and management duties but still left him a raft of statutory duties. The governor submitted an eight-page review of statutes spelling out the duties of the C&Djdirector.
Scotts appointment of Simmons brought < criticism from both Republican and Deniocrat-ic candidates for governor. Republican Jim Holshouser called it cronyism of the worst sort. Democrat Hargrove Skipper Bowles said it was wrong, dead wrong. and Dr. Reginald
A. Hawkins, another Democrat, charged it was a waste of taxpayers money.
The governor noted that organizational charts prepared by Roy Sowers, who resigned rcently as secretary of natural and economic resources to run for lieutenant governor, did not list the C&D director.
But more recent charts do, Scott said in his statement.
Scott was asked when the charts showing the job still existed became available. Within the last week, he answered.
When asked where copies of
the charts coiddfomid, Scott said; l^ey may Ee found only on yellow scratch pads. In fact, the ones I saw are.
The governor said newsmen and citizens generally erroneously interpreted organization charts as being the final work on reorganization.
These charts are flexible and subject to change, he said. That^s the purpose of reorganization ...
When asked about the C&D directors duties last week, Scotl said he planned to give
.Simmons additional adminis^ tratlve duties in the near future. He said Monday no addi-tkmai duties are {danned unless they are assigned by the C&D board.
After looking at the (statutory) duties. Im convinced itll take one man full time to do them, Scott said.
The attorney generals office has suggested that the C&D directors statutory duties could be performed on a parttime basis by another state employe.

Greenville Fire Chief Ray Smith today cautioned that unsafe practices could result in fres starting from Christmas decorations and issued some tips that, if followed, might prevent fires from starting.
If using a real tree. Chief Smith said, only fresh trees with pliant needles should be selected, and he suggested, these should be placed in water until ready to decorate them in the house. Even after a tree is put up in the house, a stand containing water should be used to prevent the tree from drying out. He suggested that the butt end of the trunk could be cut off so the tree will be able to take up water more readily.
Trees, he said, should be kept well away from sources of heat or open flames such as fireplaces, radiators, heat ducts.

and television sets. Open flames, he emphasized, such as candles, should never be used on or around trees.
Electric lights, cords and connections used for decorating trees and other areas of the home should be thoroughly checked. Only cords and connections in good condition should be used. And, he emphasized, only non-com bustible decorations should be used in trimming the tree or in other decorations.
He noted that only small miniature lights should be used on artificial trees. He explained that larger lights could cause plastics in artificial trees to melt and possibly cause a fire.
Only Qiristmas lights approved for outside use and designated as such, should be used for outside decorations, the chief added. |
' Lights on trees and other decorations should be burned only when someone is at home. When family members leave the house, the lights should be turned off. Young children should never be left at home alone, and should be cautioned not to play with or around decorations.
CSiief Smith cautioned, too, about placing electric trains or other toys around trees. He said children playing with toys could upset a tree and possibly break a light bulb ai^ eause a fire.
He too I caukioned about disposing of (]bi^stmas wrappings when presents are opened on Christmas Day.
'The Fire Department official suggested that all wrappings should be gathered together, placed in a box, and disposed of as soon as possible. Qiristmas wrappings should not be stuffed into stoves or fire places, but should .be placed in trash cans outside homes where the danger of fire is minimized.--------------
He said too, that trees, when taken down after Christmas use, should not be burned in fireplace^. He suggested they be placed where they will be easily accessable to city tree disposal pickups.
PORT HURON, Mich. (AP) An 18-man special investigation unit appointed by Gov. William G. Milliken opens an investigation today into the cause of a tunnel explosion in which 22 persons died.
Qeated Monday, the panel includes representatives of the federal and state governments, unions and the construction and insurance industries. Milliken said the investigators would meet at the tunnel site and report to him daily until their work is completed.
Meanwhile, accusations and denials surrounded the Saturday blast in a six-mile-long water filtration tunnel designed to pump 1.2 billion gallons-of water daily into the metropolitan Detroit area from lake Huron.

Christmas Play Set Saturday
A Christmas play will be presented at Emmanuel Holiness CHiurch on Highway 43 north Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
The public is invited to the play entitled, From the Manger to the Cross, according to the pastor, the Rev. Woodrow Catlett.
St. Qair County Sheriff Norman Meharg said it is possible more bodies are buried and wont be recovered until all wreckage is cleared from the I6-foot-diameter tunnel. .
The State Police Crime Laboratory in Warren is trying to determine if there are actually 22 conges.
Most of the bodies were dismembered and mutilated, one hospital official said.
Roger Roubaud of Mount Qe-mens, a safety inspector at the tunnel site for 13 months until he quit last May. said safety stanWds were often ignored so the tunnel could be completed as scheduled next summer.
But he acknowledged that he had never been in the tunnel itself and based his comments on the observation of related projects.
Gerald Remus, general manager of the Metropolitan Detroit Water System, said Rou-bauds charges would be investigated.
