Flood Insurance As Substitute For Disaster Loans Now Law

Mines Expropriated

LIMA, Peru (AP) - President Juan Velascos military regime today nationalized all property of Cerro de Pasco, the Peruvian subsidiary of the American-owned Cerro Corp.

Cerros properties include six giant mining complexes worth about $175 million that produce mostly copper and allied minerals.

A decree-law, the equivalent of an executive order, declared the mines of public and social interest and ordered the Ministry of Mining to take them over.

The company, Perus second largest copper producer, will be compensated, the annoimce-

ment said. Experts appointed by the courts v^l evaluate the properties and determine the amount to be paid, the decree-law added.

Cerro has been operating in Peru for almost 90 years. It offered to sell the government its properties two years ago, shortly after one of its mines worth $20 million was expropriated without compensation in neighboring Chile by the administration of the late President Salvador Allende.

The negotiations between Cerro and the government made no headway, so the go-verment decided to go ahead and expropriate.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) President Nixon signed a new law today expanding federally subsidized Hood insurance protection as a substitute

for federal disaster relief loans.

The new Flood Disaster Protection Act increases by at least 100 per cent the limits of insurance coverage available at an average 90 per cent below cost to homeowners and busi-

Vast Fire On Pampas

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) A fire burning on the pampas for 15 days has blackened more than 3,000 square miles of rich brushland and threatens another 40,000, authorities said today.

Every able resident between 15 and 50 was called out to help. The fire was almost brought under control several days ago but winds rose and spread the flames to new areas.

Authorities report at least

two persons have died as a result of the blaze and thousands of cattle and wild animals have perished. Firemen have kept the fire away from populated areas but several towns are endangered.

Volunteers were trying to dig trenches and put up barriers to keep flames from crossing a major highway into San Luis Province. So far the fire has centered in La Pampa Province in an area about 300 miles south of Buenos Aires.

Alerted For Election

By JONATHAN BRODER Associated Press Writer TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Israeli troops were on a maximum alert today against Arab attack as the people of the Jewish state voted in the most crucial election of the nations 25-year history.

Six thousand ballot boxes were set up from the Syrian front on the Ciolan Heights to

the Israeli enclave on the west Itank of the Suez Canal. The early turnout of voters was reported light.

The military command reported several bursts of small arms fire from Egyptian forces along the Suez front as the voting began, but a spokesman said no Israelis were hit. The Syrian front was reported quiet.

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. energy head William E. Simon said today that service stations will be allowed to hike gasoline prices by one cent per gallon because of reduced allocations.

Were going to allow a small nonproduct cost pass through by allowing slightly higher prices in this area, Simon said on the NBC-TV Today Show.

Simon claimed that long delays and queuing up for cars to buy gasoline at service stations was pretty much confined to the large metropolitan areas during the holiday season.

If that became widespread throughout the United States, then that would be, in my opinion, intolerable, he said.

Simon denied that the major oil companies were holding back domestic production in or

der to profit from fuel shortages.

The wells indeed are producing at a 100 per cent efficiency rate at this time, he reported.

Simon said the United States has been making limited Arab purchases despite their embargo.

The leakage has been 600,-000 barrels a day during the embargo, Simon noted. But he declined to identify the sources in order to prevent any cutoffs.

He rejected various reports that oil tankers have backed up at some U.S. ports waiting to unload cargoes. He said there were only isolated cases of backlogs.

I suspect from our preliminary investigation that this is greatly exaggerated, Simon said. The (3oast Guard reports that this is normal loading and unloading.

nessmen who live in flood prone commimities that enter the program.

The communities enter by adopting approved land use and land management controls. Nixon said in a statement: Under the act, homeoMpiers, businessmen and others will be able to purchase significantly increased amounts of flood insurance at reduced rates. For example, homeowners will be able to purchase up to $35,000 of insurance at rates of only 25 cents per $100 of coverage. The owner of a $20,000 home can thus buy full coverage for only $50 a year. Small businessmen and others can avail themselves of up to $200,000 of coverage.

Nixon said that by substituting insurance for disaster loans, victims would get help that was speedy, direct and with minimal red tape.

In another action, Nixon signed six bUls permitting sale

of some $900 million of federally stockpiled aluminum, copper, zinc, molybdenum, silicon carbide and opium.

A Nixon statement said the items could be sold without detriment to our national security interests. Aides contended sales would help hold down the prices of such metals as aluminum and copper.

'The sales, to take place omer several years, will provide revenues to partially offset budget spending.

Nixon, who flew here by commercial airliner last week to set an energy-saving example, has been joined by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger who came the same way, but on a different airline.

Kissinger arrived at Los Angeles International Airport Sunday night aboard a Trans World Airlines jet from Washington. Nixon flew United last Wednesday.

Kissingers arrival was

marked by heavy security at the airport.

The 3 were about 15 persons in his party. Secret Service agents and Los Angeles police watched as Kissinger transfer-ed from the Boeing 707 to a waiting limousine. He did not enter the terminal nor speak to newsmen.

TWA pilot Stuart Gilbert of Albuquerque, N.M., said the aircrafts first-class section was occupied only by Kissinger and his party.

Officials in Washington said the President and Kissinger would hold a series of foreign policy conferences diming the better part of a week.

Nixon aides said they did not know when the first session would be held.

The President annoimced the signing of seven bills Sunday, then took time out to watch the professional football division championship games on television. He also appointed his

wife and 24 other persons to a National Voluntary Service Advisory Ck)uncil that helps coordinate federal volimteer programs.

As an adviser, Mrs. Nixon will be eligible to claim a regular consultants fee of $138.48 for each day worked on council business.

The President also talked by telephone about undisclosed matters with Vice President Gerald R. Ford, who is vacationing in Colorado.

The bills signed into law by Nixon on Sunday included measures to:

Allow release of federal prisoners for up to 30 days to visit specific places because of family deaths, medical treatment or rehabilitation.

Defer until July 1, 1975 the imposition of fees on families of children enrolled in the Head-start program whose incomes exceed the poverty level.

16 Happy New Years Will Be Worse

SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) If the Skylab 3 astronauts had champagne qn^ board, they could have a wow of a New Years Eve party 16 of them.

Thats how many times they will greet 1974 as they circle the globe and cross the international date line every 93 minutes.

The first came this morning as the space station was in contact with a tracking station on

Guam.

Vietnam Casualties

SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) As 1973 drew to a close today, the South Vietnamese military command reported nearly 120,0(X) Vietnamese casualties in the first 11 months of the cease-fire.

A communique issued by the command listed these official figures:

North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, 42,612 killed.

South Vietnamese military, 12,096 killed, 53,553 wounded, 3,-875 missing.

South Vietnamese civilians, 2,043 killed, 5,670 wounded.

There was no report of casu

alties from the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.

The casualties reported since the cease-fire went into effect last Jan. 28 were 45 per cent of the total claimed by the Saigon government in 1972, the year North Vietnam waged its biggest offensive of the war.

The 1972 claims were 135,103 North Vietnamese and Viet Ctong killed, 29,068 South Vietnamese killed and 101,159 South Vietnamese wounded.

The Saigon command is known to withhold reports of its losses and at the same time inflate casualties to the Communist side.

Shut Down

CHICAGO (AP) A Chicago service station that charged $10.05 for five gallons of gasoline, a rabbits foot and a blank form for a last will and testament has been closed by federal court order.

George Levin, chief of the stabilization division of the Internal Revenue Service in Chicago, said the Action Shell Service on the far South Side will remain closed until the owners hand over their financial records.

Many cars were lined up at the station waiting to obtain "^gasoline when IRS agents closed it Sunday, Levin said. He said the station had been under investigation for a week and that the agents made several purchases at it

Levin said the stati(Mi may be allowed to reopen if it produces the financial records soon. Otherwise, he said, the owners will go to court Jan. 9 on a price stabilization violation charge.

He said the price of gasoline at the station was not immediately determined because motorists were required to buy the wills and rabbits feet to obtain the fuel.

By EDMUND PINTO Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The American motorist will soon face longer lines for less gasoline at filling stations than experienced during the Christmas-New Years holiday, an administration source says.

He said the gasoline shortage will really make itself felt by Ae last part of January and early February.

Its going to get a lot worse because were going to make less gasoline. Were getting down to where were talking about eight to ten gallons of gasoline per week per driver.

Were still riding off Arab oil, and weve been drawing on our stocks, but we cant continue to do this sort of thing, the source said. No more ships are coming and We cant draw down on our stocks any further.

His comments came as motorists experienced their second consecutive holiday weekend of long lines and empty pumps. Fewer automobiles than usual for a New Years weekend took to the nations highways and there were reports in Washington that turnpike traffic nationwide was down sharply.

Meanwhile, Federal energy chief William E. Simon said he was concerned that fuel might be stockpiled in excessive and unreasonable amounts, which could create local shortages and disrupt normal distribution

He said his energy office was checking into the fuel inventory practices of refiners, importers, wholesalers and users of crude oil or refined products.

We will review inventory practices and direct an increase or decrease in inventories if circumstances warrant, he said Sunday .

A second investigation also was started by the energy office and four East Ck>ast states. It concerned reports that oil tankers were waiting offshore for oil prices to rise before unloading their cargoes.

Besides the energy office, the

states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut had begun or were preparing to begin investigations. However, an administration spokesman and spokesmen for the ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and New Haven said they did not think there was much to the reports.

The administration source put current gasoline stocks at around 200 million barrels, enough for about 30 days at the current rate of consumption of 6.7 million barrels a day.

He said that if stocks dropped below 180 million barrels the result will be shortages more severe than already have occurred spot shortages, city shortages, where a city is out of gasoline, he said.

People still dont believe theres a shortage. They feel its a conspiracy, a way to raise prices and so forth. Were trying to tell them that come January or February its going to be rough and thats all there is to it unless driving is cut back, he said.

Costs Raised For Dependents

WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger today doubled daily costs paid by military dependents for hospitalization.

The increase is the first in a quarter century.

It is an apparent response to criticism of the military for maintaining a system of free or nominally-priced medical serv-- ices while raising pay dramatically.

Eflective with the New Year, militory dependents must pay $3.50 for each day of hospitalization in a military hospital instead of the previous $1.75.

The secretary took note of a 99 per cent increase in military pay and benefits since 1966 and said that in the future, hospitalization rates will be reviewed annually in comparison with military pay increases.

By TOM BAINES Reflector Staff Writer

A lot of news unfolded in the area in 1973 and although there were some moments of tragedy and sadness, we like to think that the good events outweighed the bad.

A long-awaited peace settlement in January signaled the end of the United States involvement in the Vietnam War and opened the door for a return of all prisoners of war.

Area citizens shared the joy of Mrs. Delphia Hardy of Winterville and Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson of Robertsonville who learned at last that their sons would be released. Maj. William Hardy returned home after five and a half years of captivity and M.Sgt. Billy Robinson saw his parents in February after some seven and a half years of detention in North Vietnam.

Both men were in the first group to be released and television watchers spotted Robinson as he stepped off the plane on American soil at (Hark Air Base, the Philip-_ pines. Hometown welcomes awaited Hardy and Robinson and a commission awarded Robinson while he was a prisoner was soon confirmed after he returned. Gold bars signifying the rank of second

lieutenant were pinned on by his mother.

The struggle to expand East Clarolina Universitys one-year medical school program carried over from 1972 and continued throughout 1973.

In January, a study committee of the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina education system recommended that any expansion of ECUs one-year medical school be withheld so that serious consideration could be given to a new degree-granting school of medicine within the state university system.

Another blow was dealt in March when a report prepared by officials of the State Medical Society, the deans of the states three medical schools, and leading health officials recommended that the one-year program here be abolished and that no new four-year medical school be established in North Carolina.

After the Joint Appropriations Subcomm-- ittee voted in May to tentatively approve a bill setting aside $25 million later ^uced to $7.5 million, to /^tablish a new four-year (school of medicine in North Carolina, the policy-making body of the N.C. Medical

Society, the House of Delegates, proposed that the ECU program be replaced by an area health-education center rather than a medical school.

In September, a panel of medical consultants to the Board of Governors recommended that there be no immediate expansion of the ECU medical school and the board followed that recommendation in voting against ECUs plans for a four year program.

The board approved in November a $30 million statewide medical education program but again turned back an effort to authorize a four-year medical school in Greenville.

Eastern supporters were encouraged when a legislative study commission recommended in December that the medical school at ECU be expanded. The Medical Manpower Study Commission approved a report calling for expansion of the school from one to two years and said it should , eventually be a four-year, degree-granting institution.

The ECU medical school question hinted of a spirited round of events in the 1974 General Assembly.

While the controversy continued, all 20 students who

entered the first class at the ECU medical school were completing requirements for promotion to the second-year class of the Upiversity of North Carolina School of Medicine.

Operating under a new election system in 1973, the city held its municipal election on Oct. 9 with a slate of nine candidates for the City Coimcil and two for mayor seeking posts on the city governing board.

Incumbent Mayor S. Eugene West turned back the challenge of City Councilman Bill Dansey and defeated him by a wide margin to gain a seventh term as mayor. Incumbent Coimcil members Percy Cox, Dr. Frank Fuller, Mrs. Mildred McGrath, and Clarence Gray won reelections while Joe Taft Jr., and former councilman John Howard were elected to the other two seats.

State politics also attracted the attention of Pitt Coun-tians as the new year begah*^ and a large delegation from this area traveled to Raleigh to attend the inaugural activities for the states first Republican governor in 72 years.

Also in January a trend continued that has become almost commonplace for Pitt (Continued on page 3)

Abby Shares New Years Resolutions With Readers

By Abigail Van Buren

c 173 Dy ChicHO Tril>un-N. Y. News Synd., Int.

DEAR READERS: I would like to share something with you that strikes me as 9 simple common sense rules. Lets call them, New Years Resolutions:

Just for today I will try to live thru this day only, and not tackle my whole Ufe problem at once. I can do som^ thing for 12 hours that would appall me if I felt that I had

to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today I wl be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everjdhing to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes, and fit myself to it.

Just for today I wUl try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought

and concentration.

Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I dont want to dojust for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but

today I will not show it.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.

Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I wiU have it. I will save myself from two pests; hurry and indecision.

Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself, and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. j Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

And that is the credo for Overeatfrs Anonymous. It makes sense, doesnt it? And so does their program. Its free. For information about this wonderful organization, write to Box 2613, Hollywood, Cal. 90028.

P.S. Have a happy, healthy New Year. And pray for peace!

DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married to a beautiful girl for over a year. She used to work at the same office with me, but she quit a few months ago.

There is this guy at the office who has been telling me every morning lately about his love dreams. And who do you think hes been dreaming about? MY wife!

I know you cant blame a guy for what he dreams, but it bugs me to know that he has been making love to., my

wife in his dreams.

I hate to get rough with him because he doesn t know how much it bugs me, but how do I tell him? BUGGED

DEAR BUGGED: In plain language, like this: Look, friend, I cant st^p you from dreaming about my wife, but If your dreams are getting better all the time. Id rather not hear about it!

Problems? Youll feel better if you get It off your cbeit. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 700, L. A., CaBf. 90069. Elnclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. ^

GourmetRestaurant Serves Cann&Peas

PARIS, France (WNS)-Claude Terrail, owner of the world-renowned Tour dArgent restaurant here, has announced to the horror of French gourmets that from now on his chefs will serve only canned peas because they are better than fresh peas. He made the decision after a government minister complained to him, Your peas are much too hard. Perhaps I shall dine only at home where my wife knows enough to serve canned peas.

Wives today also know how to economize, which is not the c^se with many big-name restauranteurs, confessed Terrail. I have learned many of my best lessons from them.

Eventful Year For Pitt

(Continued from Page 1) and surrounding counties. A heavy new year snowfall left the area covered with more than four inches of snow roads wei;e icy for several days. The second winter storm of the young year came in February and deposited another five inches of snow here and caused drifts of up to three and a half feet.

A number of significant appointments and elections occurred during the year. Bob Browning, a local attorney was named to the State Highway Commission and was appointed to the new State Board of Transportation in July. Browning was then named a Special Judge of the Superior Court in Octorber, succeeding Marvin Blount Jr. of Greenville who resigned.

Joseph 0. Clark was elected president of the Pitt County United Fund and David Whichard was chosen for an eight-year term on the UNC Board of (Jovemors, Dr, Robert Williams, provost for ECU, was elected associate vice president for academic affairs of the University of North Carolina by the Board of Governors. The Board also named Dr. Andrew Best of Greenville and Frederic C^x of Grifton to four-year terms as ECU trustees.

In October, Herb Lee was elected First District (JOP chairman and ECUs Sonny Randle was named head football coach at the University of Virginia in early December. Several days later Pat Dye, an assistant coach at the University of Alabama, was given a five-year pact as head coach here.

The county both gained and lost industry during the year and also witnessed significant progress on a number of important projects.

The Eaton Corp. formally announced on Sept. 18 that it would build a 310,(X)0 square foot facility here for the manufacturing of electric fork lift trucks and Proctor & Gamble disclosed plans on Oct. 30 to build a food products plant on a 220-acre site north of Greenville on the Old Creek Road. International Paper Co. announced plans to close its Farmville Flakeboard plant and operations at the plant, which employed about 215, were shut down in September.

Funds totaling $150,000 were approved by the City Council in March for a new municipal swimming pool and contracts were signed a month earlier for construction of the long awaited Newton housing project. A $1.9 million budget was approved for Greenville City Schools in April and a grant in the amount of $2,481,660 was obligated to the Redevelopment Commission by the Department of Housing and Urban

Development in May for Southside.

A. C. Monk Tobacco Co. opened its sprawling new processing plant in Farmville in May and the new Eastern Bypass was opraed to trafflc in Greenville on July 17. Construction began on ECUs new Regional Development Institute in August and Wachovial opened its new main office Building at the corner of Fourth and Washington Streets here in September.

County Commissioners gave the monetary go-ahead for construction of the new Pitt Memorial Hospital in December after original bid figured for the new structure were re-negotiated and additional grants were secured.

Initial bids had produced a figure that was substantially higher than the $14.19 million on hand and much study, soul searching and negotiations followed before the commissioners could see their was clear to give the project a green light. On Dec. 18, the Pitt Hospital board of trustees approved contracts for the new hospital construction.

The Stokes Regional Water (3orp. received a loan and grant from the Farmers Home Administration in November for $142,000 to aid in establishing a community water system and a $300,000 Mental Health Services construction grant application was approved on Dec. 13 to assist in the construction of a new Pitt County Mental Health Center.

Although new construction and promises of more highlighted 1973 in Pitt County, fires again took a heavy property toll and claimed lives on four different occasions.

On Jan. 14, the explosion of a boiler at the Union Carbide plant here heavily damaged the facility, ripping out the front wall, interior curtain walls, water, lines, and roof. A watchman on duty suffered a broken ankle and lacerations in the blast.

An early morning fire in March damaged Flanagan and Parker Funeral Home here and a four-year-old boy died on April 21 when fire swept through his home near Pactolus. Hardees 14th Street restaurant was heavily damaged by fire on May 15 and a blaze in a dwelling on Henry Street in Greenville killed and eight-year-old girl in September.

A 21-year-old Greenville man burned to death in a fire at the Mark IV CHub on Albermarle Avenue in October and a late night fire on Nov. 16 destroyed Eastern Lumber and Supply Co. in Winterville. A fire at the Pitt Theatre in Novevber damaged a film room and attic area. Another November blaze this time on Colonial Avenue, claimed the life of an 83 year old man.

The weather made the

news again in May when heavy rain mixed with hail pounded the young tobacco crops in several eastern counties aiul accompanying wind damaged sevmd bams, including one near Pactolus.

At least five homes received roof damage and ten to 12 tobacco bams in the St(Aes area were damaged when a tornado touched down there in late May and then made several more destructive stops in the area.

In spite of storms and an erratic growing season, the areas critical tobacco crop matured and leaf sales began, in Greenville and Rocky Mount on July 31 as the Eastern Belt held its earliest opening in history. Although quality was down here somewhat from offerings on opming day in 1972.

Sales closed on the local market with record figures on Nov. 15 after 57 sales days. For the season, the Greenville market sold 56,425,066 pounds for $50,139,158 in averaging a fine $88.86.

The city schools system came under the direction of a new superintendent on Aug. 3 when six-year assistant Glenn Cox was named by the School Board to succeed Dr. C. C. Cleetwood. The board had voted five to three in April not to reelect Cleetwood, who had served as superintendent here since September of 1965, for another term.

Another well^lanned and well-attended Fourth of July celebration prompted the Greenville Jaycees to announce that the third annual affair will be staged in 1974. An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 residents attended the events.

Politics created a local stir in September when a disagreement at the countys Biennial GOP Convention over the validity of delegates chosen at the precinct level resulted in a group walking out of the session, conducting its own meeting, and electing its own slate of delegates to the district and state conventions. The matter was resolved at the district convention, held here in October, when the gathering voted to seat the delegates chosen at the official county session.

Death saddened many hearts during the year and one of the most tragic events occurred on October 20 when three nine-year-old Rober-sonville girls, participating in a Girl Scout bike outing, died when a car slammed into their cycling group on a state road in Martin County. Two other young girls were injured in the accident that stunned the community.

The area lost several prominent citizens in 1973, including businessman E. Graham Flanagan, 72, who died on July 31; Dr. James Butler, 69, longtime ECU administrator, who died on Sept. 4; C. K. Beatty, retired

A Three-Day Work Week For Britons

By PETER EBERT Associated Press Writer

LONDON (AP) Amid confusion, foreboding, and much uncertainty, Britain began a three-day work week today to conserve its reduced supply of coal for production of electricity.

The cutback because of the coal miners refusal to work overtime will affect about 15 million Britons out of a labor force of 24 million, economists estimated.

Nonessential businesses and industry will be supplied electricity only three days a week, either from Monday through Wednesday or Thursday through Saturday. They can stay open other days only if they operate without electricity or have their own generator.

Many firms have not announced their shortened schedule, and many Britons reported for work today not knowing whether they should be there or whether they would receive a full weeks pay at the end of the week.

Oitical industries that are exempt include public utilities, food processors and distributors, hospitals, communications media and restaurants. Such continuous process plants as the steel mills, where the product would be ruined by a break in operation, can continue to operate around the clock, but they must cut electricity consumption 35 per cent. Shops may stay open six days a week but can use only three hours of electricity a day.

Prime Minister Edward Heath ordered the work-week cutback after the miners slowdown had reduced coal production 30 per cent. Union leaders charged that his action amounted to a national lockout and that he was trying to make the miners the scapegoat Tor his disastrous management of the nations economy.

But James Prior, the Conservative governments leader in the House of Commons, warned that the country faced

By HARRY DUNPHY Associated Press Writer EL QANTARA, EGYPT (AP) Egypts 2nd Army is dug in along the northeast bank of the Suez Canal and it is going to stay there, its deputy commander says.

Both sides are preparing for something, Brig. Gen. Fuad Sama said. Whether it is imminent I cant say, but we are here on this side of the canal to stay, and we intend to liberate all of Sinai.

Sama was host Sunday to a party of 25 foreign diplomats from Cairo and three newsmen.

Brig. Gen. Abdul Magoub, commander of the 18th Division deployed in and around El Qan-tara, said the Egyptian forces hold a piece of the Sinai ex

catastrophe without the restriction of electricity. He said if industry continued to operate full blast, there wouldnt be enough power to maintain the water supply and the streets of London and other cities would be awash with sewage.

The miners are demanding pay increases ranging from $14 to $28 a week, which the government says is above its antiinflation wage increase ceilings. The government claims miners earnings average about $98 a week and this would rise to $112.80 if the guidelines are observed.

The miners leaders and the National Coal Board resume negotiations Wednesday. There is talk of giving the men more money without raising their base pay by paying them por-tal-to-portal, for the time they take getting to and from the coalface and washing up after work.

Priority. For Essential Needs

The government has finally announced plans for a standby system of gasoline rationing.

Energy Chief William E. Silicon announced that a three-months supply of rationing tickets is to be printed. If they are ever used, they would be sold to motorists at $1 each to be redeemed for gas at retail outlets. The tickets could be sold by the recipient if he so chose.

It is anticipated that drivers would average 32-35 gallons of gas per month and if he needed more he

Revolution In Mental Health

By BILL NOBLITT

RALEIGH-Early next year, about mid-February at the latest, the states Mental Health Study Commission is going to receive from a team of consultants a bombshell of a report.

The groundwork has already been laid. The first phase outlining in a critical fashion the existing services was delivered in mid-November to the commission chaired by Durham Sen. Kenneth C. Royall Jr.

The second phase of the $250,000 study is supposed to outline a model system which will put North Carolina in the forefront of states grappling with mental health care problems.

The direction of that change is emerging now from conversations with members of the commission, consultants and experts in the states Mental Health Serivces division of the Department of Human Resources.

First, you can expect to see less and less emphasis on the big institutions which have been classified by the experts as warehouses for the cheap and efficient storage of second-class citizens. Secondly, money which previously went for building and maintaining those asylums will be re-directed into programs.

End Custody Thirdly, the old conee^ of custodial carewhile experts admit it is dying a hard and slow deathwill be ditched in favor of what has come to be known as interpersonal techniques. Those include group therapy, psychotherapy and such.

Coupled with that, too, will be a decline in the use of so-called medical treatment techniques: drugs, shock therapy and such. In fact, some experts today are becoming alarmed at how often tranquillizing drugs are being used just to keep patients quiet, and not for actual treatment.

Finally, will emerge a whole new concept of mental health care with special emphasis on community treatmentand earlier community recognition of problems which tend to lead to mental health crisis later on.

North Carolina may find herself out front in this field. Consulting specialists had this to say about community mental health approaches: The marked distinction between programs oriented to promoting healthy citizen attitudes and mental wellbeing, as contrasted to dealing with mental illness, is only beginning to receive major recognition. This is true nationally and particularly in the state of North Carolina.

The existing community health programs, specialists found, have tended to treat drop-in clients and not

aggressively seek out people in need of early treatment; have tended to hire people on the staff who are available and are not necessarily the best equipped people; and have been hamstrung by excessive red-tape from the state level.

Community Concern Additionally, there has been a remarkable lack of community acceptance of the approach toward keeping the people in need of mental health care at home instead of shipping them off to a state institution. For one thing, the specialists say, out of sight means out of mind, and many people dont want to face their problems; for another, local funds being short, its cheaper to send the people off to a state institution.

Those involved predict a major shift away fro^ institutions and strong c^nti^al state control toward smaler community-oriented facilities as a key approach.

Another major change of direction is likely to take place in treating the mentally retarded and others with developmental disabilities.

Currently, a host of programs are split up among public schools, social ser-vices, vocational rehabilitation and so on. A need is seen for some central agency to handle these programs, and to handle them with an eye to training the patients and caring for them in such a fashion that they achieve to the level capable, are not just animals in a zoo to be cared for at a minimal level.

More Human Care And that concept-^n short, humanization of treatment and rehabilitation effortsis the central theme running throughout current efforts to revise mental health care. It is, in brief, a step away from the old concept of locking the mentally ill or incompetent away out of sight. And that, the experts all agree, is a healthy step.

Emerging from the terribly complex study will be a model system which will embrace these major objectives :

All citizens, regardless of the condition, shall have access to the services needed without regard to sex, age, race, economic condition or geographic location; services shall run from prevention and early detection to postdischarge support; all services will be centilly coordinated; clients to be provided service within or close to home communities; each client to be provided with physical and psychological environments recognizing his human rights and his need for privacy, dignity and respect; and a guarantee of ongoing research and implementation of continuing betterment of treatment and rehabilitation systems.

would be free to purchase other persons tickets at whatever market price were established.

The $1 per month each driver would pay for the tickets would be used to defray the cost of administering the program.

The rationing tickets would be taken up by service stations with each sale and the station operators would have to show that they had tickets for all gas sold.

There has been reason to feel that the gas situation might look a little brighter soon. Motorists are conserving gas and more oil is getting through from the Middle East than anticipated. Thus it is possible the rationing plan may never be used.

Still we are glad to see the governmnet is getting ready for a rationing program. We can see some flaws in this one. Like so many things it allows the person with plenty of money to drive all he wants simply be paying whatever price is necessary to get tickets away from the poor. We can see the news stories now of the laboring man selling his tickets to Mr. Wealthy in order to pay a medical bill for an ailing child, and then not having gas to get to work.

We have long maintained, though, that the government must do whatever is necessary to see that the essential needs of the nation are provided for an allocation of energy. Uses of energy for pure pleasure would naturally have to be the first to go.

At any rate, the government now has a rationing plan, with all its faults, and it should be implemented whenever the fuel shortage appears near reaching the critical stage.

PRINCETON, N. J.,-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger heads the list of men the American people admire most in the world today. Next highest vote-getter is the Rev. Billy Graham.

Following Kissinger and Graham in this years balloting are President Richard Nixon, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Vice President Gerald Ford.

Kissinger, fourth-place winner last year, replaces Nixon who had topped the 1972 list for the fourth consecutive year. Only six times since these annual Gallup Most Admired Man audits were begun in 1946 has the Chief Executive failed to win the top spot.

In choosing Kissinger as the man he admires most, a 51-year-old newspaper pressman from Racine, Wis., commented: He is really a man we can be proud ofhes done more for world peace than any one man.

Among those who pick Graham for top honors is a 41-year-old electronics expert. He gives this reason: "I am impressed by his singular adherence to what he believes to be his mission and destiny in life, as well as his willingness to expsfiss his views freely in aU areas of life.

A young banker from Henderson, N.C., picks Nixon: His efforts to better the nation and the world have been magnificfpt. He ended the Vietnam war, established trade and diplomacy with China and Russia, and has made strong efforts to settle the Mideast conflict and avoid resumption of fighting.

Kennedy is In Fourth Place Kennedy is in fourth place moving up from fifth position in the 1972 rankings. Roun-deing out the top 10 are Ford in fifth place. Gov, George Wallace (6th), Ralph Nader (7th), Sen. Henry Jackson (8th), Pope Paul VI (9th) and Sen. Barry Goldwater (10th).

Business, Education Not Represented on the List Surprisingly, the top ten selections since 1946 have not included men from the fields of business or education, and only a very few from the entertainment field.

Political officeholders, including incumbent and past Presidents, have tended to dominate the choices while religious leaders have been represented second most often. Next are world statesmen and foreign leaders, followed by military leaders.

Those annual audits were based on samples designed to represent the views of the entire adult population. Survey respondents are asked to give their choices, without the aid of a list of names. While these audits tend to favor men who receive wide news coverage, the procedure employed opens the field to many possible choices.

In the latest surw, a toUl of 1,514 persons, islpd older, were interviewed in a survey conducted Dec. 7-10. The following two questions were asked to determine first and second choices:

Other Editors Say Save The Quotas

(Henderson Dispatch)

Talk emanating from the Department of Agriculture in Washington that consideration is being given to increasing quotas on flue-cured tobacco, or even removing them entirely, is disconcerting, to say the least. It is further evidence of a lack of proper understanding of the industry so far as producers are concerned.

Ck)ngressmen from tobacco States must rise up in resentment. The quota system for his crop has been a blessing to growers. It has enabled them to carry on with a reasonable profit from their labors. To increase or to discontinue them would result in chaos in a large segment of agriculture in five States of the Southeast. It could bankrupt farmers who depend upon tobacco for a livelihood.

It is not convincing to say that there is such a shortage in supply as to justify a free-for-all larger crop. It would play directly into the hands of manufacturers, in that they could buy all the leaf they need as a much lower price than has been paid the past several seasons. No one wishes to put tobacco out of reach of those who process it for the consumer market. But it would be far better for them to impose a slight increase in the price of their product than for prciducers to face ruin in their operations.

It stands to reason that present quotas should not be increased. A substantially larger supply will become available as the result of carryover from 1973 of acreage that was not planted or harvested in 1973. A system that has worked successfully with scarcely A*e than token loss should not be tampered with by the Agri^Efe Department. So far as growers are concerned, the quota plan has been Ahe salvation of this portion of agriculture since it became effective some twenty years ago. 'There is no visible evidence to justify its discontinuance or serious modification % the detriment of producers. Surely those in authority in government should be capable of sensing the potential disaster in such a move as is being considered.

Or the lobbyist who said to a friend in June, Dont waste your time jyith (Jerry Ford. He isnt going anywhere.

Or perhaps the White House lawyer who said to President Nixon, If you fire Archibald Cox on Saturday, no one in the country will know you did it.

Or the other White House lawyer who assured Mr. Nixon,Dont worry about the missing tapes. Once you explain it, everyone will believe you.

Or the White House press agent who burst into the Oval Office and said, Ive got it! Ive got it! Well launch a counteroffensive and call it Operation Candor!

Or the Israeli intelligence officer who assured Golda Meirs cabinet, You have my word, the Arabs are not prepared to fight.

Or the Egyptian intelligence officer who assured Sadats cabinet, You have my word, the Israelis will never be able to cross the Suez Canal.

Or the American intelligence officer who told the National Security Council, The Arab oil embargo talk is all bluff. What are they going to do, drink the stuff?

Life is a trial for the literal man, who is distressed that the once in a blue moon sale now comes twice each year.

In some earlier day, words may have been instruments of precision, darts flung to convey pinpoint meanings.

But today we live in a world where the 7 to 11 store is open six to midnight, penny candy costs a nickel, the five and dime has precious few offerings under a dollar and the giant economy size is the smallest package the compny makes, o The problem is that we are surrounded by superlatives.

Sports teams used to have a staror, if a coach was lucky, several stars. Those who merely made the team earned letters but not stardom.

Today everybody who makes the team is a star. The heroes are superstars.

And teams with all super-stars- majority, if you listen to television-Iiave as their heroes the REAL superstars. Or supersuperstars.

It is easy to blame this linguistic distortion on advertising, for that craft or art or game or trade seems to have invented gigantism of language.

More ... bigger ... better ... best ... giant ... super Thus have screamed the pages of publications, billboards, matchcovers and other media since modem advertising dawned. The advent of radio with its real screams and television with its towering ability both to scream and to be seen screaming escalated the war of words.

Modern education is another handy target for any who seek to place the fault for the decline and fall of the written word. Broadcasting, with its emphasis on the informality and thus imprecisionof casual speech, is another easy mark.

All theseand newspapers, tooperhaps have some responsibility for the deterioria-tion of meaning that makes even strong words today hit with the impact of a bb shot on a battleship.

But it is more likely simple human nature.

Middleground, it seems, is a quagmire to be avoided, for anything less than top or bottom, full or empty, requires a measurement that demands precise language.

Middleground is where we distinguish between the glass that is half empty and the one thats half full.

But then, maybe language has never been that precise. And maybe it can never achieve the precision of a measurement in inches or millimeters or pounds or kilowatts or ounces.

For words always demand interpretation. They are, after all, only sounds to which history or evolution or tradition has assigned a common definition.

Whether that glass is half empty or half full depends on whether you drank or poured.

FAITH. NOT WORKS

The plainest teaching of the Bible is that we are saved by faith and not by works. Nothing we can do will bring about our own salvation (Jood works have their place, but they are the fruits of salva^n. We are saved not by our own efforts but by the grace and good will of God.

Such being the case, the thing we have to do to enter into that fulness of life which theology calls salvation is to accept the grace which God is so willing to give us. It seems

inconceivable that in our own sinful state God will reach down and bless us with new life, but the Bible tells us that He is eager to do so, and that all we have to do is to accept His gift. We have to say amen to Him, and He will set in operation the spiritual processes by which our lives are transformed. It must, of course, be honestly done with a complete resignation to (Jods righteous will. But when we so act, God responds with the gift which only He can confer.

By DON HORINE Associated press Writer,^ RESEDA, Calif. (AP) - A yellow frame house in this Los Angeles suburb is the headquarters of Sounder Corp., one of a growing number of small firms in the country set up by people who have come i^> with a moneymaking idea and are running with it.

Recognizing the desire of most corporations to become better known. Sounder solicits annual and quarterly reports and proxy material from companies, promising to distribute them in the financial community. The corporations are billed 60 cents for each annual report and proxy statement they

supply, and 30 cents for each quarterly report.

Some business leaders, noting there are roughly 50,000 corporations in the country, figuratively whistle when iey think of the profit Sounder and other companies in the field might make if their mailing were large enough and drew a good response.

If you get 1,000 companies paying $25 each, youre in {x-etty good shape, observes Alan Ducommun, secretary of Ducommun,^Inc., in Ix)s Angeles. Conceivably you could get a lot more.

The rapidly growing number of firms in the field indicates the business is profitable. The American

Society of Corporate Secretaries, a national organization of corporation secretaries in New York, knows of at least 50 firms set up for the sole purpose of distributing corporate reports. Sounders owner says there are at least 100.

Virtually all the firms were set up in the last two years, says John S. Black Jr., executive director of the corporate secretaries organization.

Located by The Associated Press, a man who identified himself as Howard Grace and said he owns Sounder pleaded with a reporter not to write a story. He said he feared publicity would encourage more poople to enter the field.

A hundred companies do this, Grace said. Any story would only tend to bring more companies.

Comet Freaks See 'Portents'

SAN FRANaSCO (AP) - To some watchers of the comet Kohoutek, the dazzling visitor from outer space heralds the end of the world, a new beginning, or a businessmans galaxy of telescopes and T-shirts.

Star-struck astrologers, cultista and self-described comet freaks" call the fi7 phmiome-non a portent of war, peace, natural disasters, the energy crisis and further Watergate revelations.

Hope To Oil Spill

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - A vast amount of fuel is spilled in the Southeast and the regional office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it wants to do something about it.

Regional Director Jack E. Ravan has issued a plea to the public to report any spills they happen to see.

Approximately 5,000,000 gallons of oil were spilled in inland waters of the Southeast since 1971," said Ravan. The vast majority of the spills were due either to negligence or to operator-type error.

That is enough fuel, he said, to heat thousands of homes. Under the EPAs Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan, an industry of individual storing more than 1,-

Lest we forget the associate of Bebe Rebozo who told him, If you give the $1(X),000 back to Howard Hughes in cash, no one will find out about it. Or the person who said to Rose Mary Woods, This will give you a chuckle. Theyre going to have some young, miniskirted girl lawyer question you about the tape. Ha, ha ha ha.

Prevent

Waste

320 gallons of fuel must report spills, keep records and observe other regulations.

If they dont, the result could be a $5,000 fine for each day of negligence.

Enforcement of environmental laws has led to the' recovery of some one million gallons of spilled oil since 1971.

But this was just a drop in the bucket. Our recovery could be much higher and the amount of fuel spilled could be much lower, Ravan said.

The spill prevention program deals with nontransportation facilities such as refineries, storage sites and certain transportation-related installations that have storage tanks.

Ravan says spills are increasing.

Since Jan. 1, 1973, 2.5 million gallons were spilled in the eight states of Region IV (North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky, Ravan said. Some 500,000 gallons was recovered.

The EPA director said 80 per cent or more of the spills are caused by human error, 10-15 per cent by equipment failure and 5 per cent by natural disasters.

Forecasts More Textile Exports

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP)-Charles F. Myers Jr., chairman of the board of Burlington Industries, forecasts an increase in U.S. textile exports during 1974.

American textile products have become more competitive abroad, Myers said in a statement released Sunday. Our export sales increased in 1973 and we expect this trend to continue.

Myers said he believes the increase in the overseas market will lessen the impact of fluctuations in domestic production and demand requirements.

Burlington operates 165 plants in 11 countries, and this year reported sales of $2.1 billion.

Acid Is Spilled By^ Derailment

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)Forty-four carsin

cluding two tankers filled with sulphuric acidof a Southern Railway freight train derailed early today beside U.S. 1 near West Columbia, spilling acid from one of the tankers into a ditch.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental (^ntrol was checking the progress of the acid in the ditch and the small stream it leads to.

No injuries resulted from the 4:45 a.m. crash. ^

A Southern spokesman said at midmoming the cause had not been determined. He estimated damage at $500,(X)0.

The Great Comet: Warning. Forty days and Ninevah shall be destroyed, proclaim pamphlets distributed by the Children of God fundamentalist sect who roam Market Street.

They call the comet a Christmas monster warning of the total downfall of America as it approached its celestial rendezvous with the sun.

Radio stations have been deluged with calls about the comets mellow or malignant vibrations. We get a lot of crazy people on the phone telling us of their magical feelings about it, said a spokesman for KSAN.

Everyone I talk to thinks Kohoutek has an explosive kind of energy, said Yvonne Lewin, who sells metaphysical books in Berkeley.

Its intensifying everything in the atmosphere so that when

things are going well for people, theyre really going well. And when theyre bad, theyre really bad, ^e said.

John Perry, a psychiatrist, said Kohoutdc may seriously disturb those who are bordering on psychosis. These people are very sensitive to and upset by any kind of new spiritual moves or ideas, he said.

But Kohoutek bodes only bountiful business for merchants who report a boom in sale of telescopes and binoculars. Some stores report as- tronomical sales of comet-emblazoned T-shirts at $4.50 each and $6 silver rings which one clerk said could be con-set;rated to cast whatever spell you want.

Kohoutek first passed thrcHigh the constellation of Virgo. That would mean the banishment of servants of the king. If you substitute the head of state, it could mean the White House staff.

Kohoutek currently is entering the house of Scorpio...and this signifies great wars or rebellion, changes of kingdoms, great perils, the death of some eminent man and continued scarcity of the frui^ of the earth.

Followers here of the One Perfect Master, the 16-year-old Guru Majaraj Ji, vow that Kohoutek heralds a thousand years of peace.

Stock And Market Reports

NEW YORK (AP) The stock market slipped lower again today, as concern over the energy crunch and the 1974 economy continued to sideline investors.

The Dow Jones industrial average had dropped 7.61 to 840.41 at 11:30 a.m. Declines overpowered advances, by 2 to 1 in fairly active trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

The volume was unexpectedly heavy for the final day of the year and the ticker tape lagged a minute or two behind several times during the morning.

The broad-based NYSE index of some 1,500 common stocks was off .37 to 51.38 at 11 a.m., while the market-value index on the American Stock Exchange had fallen .29 to 88.78.

Monte Gordon of Dreyfus Corp. attributed the market decline to fresh evidence of the energy crunch over the weekend in the New York area, and persistent worries regarding a 1974 recession.

Analysts said the energy situation sent automotive and agricultural equipment issues lower. General Motors was down 2V4 to 45^4 after a delayed opening; Chrysler lost V4 to 15; and Ford slid to IV4 to 39^4. Deere & Co., an agriculture equipment maker, was down 1% to 50.

Cerro Corp., whose mining subsidiary in Peru was nationalized todzy, opened unchanged at 14. The company said it was confident Peru would honor its obligations in expropriation talks now underway.

Excise Tax Down Again

TARBOROThe total

Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company bill will be slightly lower beginning January 1, 1974.

The Excise, Estate and Gift Tax Adjustment Act of 1970 provides for a 10-year reduction schedule of the Federal excise tax for telephone service. The first reduction was effective January 1, 1973.

Telephone statements received on and after January 1, 1974 will bill the excise tax at eight percent. Under the present legislation, each subsequent January 1, the excise tax will be reduced by one percent until January 1982, when the total repeal is scheduled.

The excise tax on teleiAone service is a carryover from World War II days. Since then, this tax has been removed from all other services and products. Efforts to repeal it in past years have been unsuccessful.

For the average Carolina Telephone residence customer, it will amount to only a few cents per month.

Zionist In Britain Shot

LONDON (AP) Scotland Yard refused to say today whether it believed the shooting of one of Britains leading Zionists was the work of a Palestinian terrorist.

But a spokesman said robbery had been ruled out as the

motive.

Joseph Edward Sieff, 68-year-old president of the Marks and Spencer chain of clothing and food stores, was reported in serious condition in Londons Middlesex Hospital. Surgeons removed a bullet from his head following the shooting Sunday "night.

An unidentified man rang the bell at Sieffs 30H-oom London mansion about 7 p.m. Sunday, pulled a gun on the Portuguese butler and made him take him to Sieff. The gunman shot Sieff in the mouth, then ran from the house and escaped.

Sieffs wife and two other servants were in the house at the time.

Sieff has raised millions in financial aid for Israel. He was chairman of the Joint Palestine Appeal from 1%1 to 1965 and then became its president.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Elditors of Associated Press member newspapers in North Carolina have voted the energy orisis and its many ramifications in the state as the top news story of 1973.

The other top 10 stories in order of balloting were: (2) Liquor by the drink referendum fails; (3) Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr., chosen to head the Senate Watergate committee, and becomes national celebrity as developments unfold; (4) The controversy over the prqx)sed East Carolina University medical scluxd continues; (5) Gov. Jim Holshousers administration fires a number ot state employes, including 100 Department of Transportation workers; (6) Prices increase for milk, electricity and telephone service as inflation continues; (7) North Carolina POWs return home; (8) The Generaly Assembly adopts record budget, decides to hold annual sessions; (9) Tom Bennett chosi state Republican chairman; (10) Heavy snow covers much of state, stranding motorists.

Here is a recap of the top 10:

The energy crisis didnt just drift in, it rushed in with eye popping speed. Without much warning, it was here. North Carolinians in every walk of life found gasoline and heating oil harder to get, and everywhere they looked thermostats were being turned down. Many service stations closed because they couldnt get gasoline to sell, and now most of those left are closing early and on Sunday. The crisis turned from surprise to disbelief and from anger to despair and finally to resignation. The anger was manifested in many ways, the most prominent perhaps being a park-in by several hundred truckers at two truck stops in the upper part of the state, as they joined in a nationwide protest against high diesel fuel prices, unavailability of fuel and reduced speed limits.

2. Anti-liquor forces, backed by large sums of money from churches and Christian action

Break-ins were reported at two North-Greenville businesses early this morning, according to Chielf Glm Cannon vdio noted that the law-breakers in both cases attempted to force open the safes in the buildings.

According to Cannon, police were called to North Side Lumber Co. at 1215 North Greene St. about 7:10 a.m. when a lx'eak4n was reported there. Then at 7:22 a.m. a break-in was repoi^ at S and M Equipment Co. on Memorial Drive.

According to diief Cannon, amatuer attempts were made to force both the North Side and S and M safes open, without success.

Investigations of the incidents is under way.

Those who wanted mixed drinks said the system would be a better way of liqtx>r control than the brown bagng method, while opponents cried that the proposal would lead to a variety of ills, including more drunken driv-ws. The voters were apparently convinced by the latter group, and overwhelmingly voted down liquor by the driic in the Nov. 6 referendum.

Fund Appeal Missed Goal

The Little Red Stocking appeal of the Childrens Home Society of North Carolina was $26,633.15 short of its goal as of Friday, December 28, according to Mrs. G. Allen Mel^e, president.

Each year several hundred infants and children find a permanent, adoptive home and family through the Societys services. Mrs. Mebane explained, In addition to allocatipns from United Funds across the state, our annual Christmas appeal traditionally has provided a major portion of the financial support for our voluntary agency. We depend heavily upon our Little Red Stocking to help us meet the costs of our services in securing homes for children.

Tarkenfon Finally A Winner As Vikings Rope Cowboys For Title

By DENNE H. FREEMAN Associated Press Sports Writer

DALLAS (AP) - "Its been said scramblers cant win ... thats a bunch of garbage, barked Fran Tarkenton, with just a touch of bitterness in his

voice.

Tarkenton shed his losers tag as the Minnesota Vikings celebrated their 27-10 National Football Conference title victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

Detroit's Still Not

Pistons Are Tpgether

By 'THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Were going to be one of the better teams around eventually, said Detroit i^ach Ray Scott, but were just trying to get it together this year.

The Pistons got it together Sunday night long enough to beat the powerful Milwaukee Bucks 98-91 with a revamped lineup. Scott decided to shuffle the deck a bit after Detroit lost three of its last four National Basketball Association games, installing (George Trapp at forward and John Mengelt at guard.'

Trapp wound up with 16 points, six of them down the stretch, and Mengelt had nine.

But it was veteran guard Dave Bing who kept the young Pistons in the game when Milwaukee threatened to break it open in the third quarter.

Bing finished with 22 points and Bob Lanier had 20 for Detroit. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar paced the Bucks with 30 points.

In other NBA games, the Atlanta Hawks held off the Cleveland Cavaliers 99-94; the New York Knicks whipped the Kansas City-Omaha Kings 102-85; the Los Angeles Lakers ^got by the Buffalo Braves 108-105; the Seattle SuperSonics surprised the Golden State Warriors 96-92; and the Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Chicago Bulls

Big Four Opens Friday Pitting Pack On.Heels

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two of the Atlantic Coast Conferences basketball powerhouses^North Carolina and North Carolina SUtesquare off Friday night in a preview of what lies ahead in the conference season.

The two teams will open the Big Four basketbaU tournament in Greensboro, N.C. 'The tournament features North Carolinas four ACC schools in games which do not count toward conference standings.

However, the game between fourth-ranked North Carolina and No. 5 N.C. State will catch the spotlight and the results will doubtless go a long way toward-juggling the present national rankings.

Duke and Wake Forest meet in the second game. The winners of Friday nights games meet on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Virginia hosts Pittsburgh, Bucknell is at Wake Forest and second-ranked Maryland meets Richmond in Baltimore.

Saturday night will find Clemson opening its conference

vitational Tournament. TTie Terps have now won six in a row since an opening game, one^wint loss to No. 1 ranked UCLA.

N.C. States Wolfpack got 54 points from center Tom Burleson and foward David Thompson to take a 98-83 win over 16th-ranked Memphis State in the finals of the Sugar Bowl Qassic at New Orleans.

Thompson, showing the form which made him an All America last year as a sophomore, pumped in 34 points. Burleson had 20 points.

Clemson rallied from an 11-point deficit and held off a last minute scare to defeat stubborn

99-92.

The Indiana Pacers won the lone American Basketball Association game 109-108 over the San Diego Conquistadors.

Hawks 99. Cavaliers 94 Lou Hudson sank three foul shots in the final 30 seconds to insure the Atlanta victory. Hudson wound up with 27 points for the night, 13 of them in the fourth quarter, while Pete Mar-avich led the Hawks with 29.

Knicks 102, Kings 85 New York opened up a 30-point lead in the third quarter and coasted home. Dave De-Busschere topped the winners with 34 points in 36 minutes of action.

Lakers 108, Braves 105 Jimmy Price hit a career-high 27 points, including three baskets in the closing min-b, for Los Angeles.

Sonics 96, Warriors 92 Jim Fox scored 29 points and Don Watts had 18 for Seattle. Cazzie Russell scored 35 points for the Warriors.

Blazers 99, Bulls 92 Portland reeled off 10 straight points in the final period to go on top for good. John Johnson finished with 24 points and Sidney Wicks added 21 for ' Portland. Ciiet Walker netted 31 for Chicago.

Pacers 109, Qs 1^1 Roger Brown sank a pair of free throws with just three seconds left to give Indiana its third straight victory, the first time this season the Pacers have won three straight.

lege footballs national championship is on the line in tonights Sugar Bowl showdown between No. 1 Alabama and third-ranked Notre Dame. And this first meeting of the two gridiron giants has all the overtones of a 20th century Civil War.

Our people in Alabama and elsewhere in the area consider this the biggest game ever played in the South, says Coach Bear Bryant, who earlier called it the game of history in the South.

Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. EST and will be televised nationally by ABC. With the previous Sugar Bowl crowd record of 84,031 in danger of being erased, the game is billed as the worlds largest New Years Eve party.

Each team received about 14,000 tickets for its fans, barely a drop in an Alabama bucket filled with almost 100,000 requests. Tickets were reported to be going for $100 a pair in Tuscaloosa, Ala., last week.

The only disquieting note marring the carnival atmosphere in this Mardi Gras town is a threat by members of the black community to picket the game. They are demanding one-third representation on the New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Association, which sponsors the game.

While Bryant and Notre Dames Ara Parseghian express the greatest respect for each other, theres no love lost among their followers.

The game will be decided in old Tulane Stadium, and so, apparently, will the national championship since Oklahoma, runner-up in The Associated Press rankings, is ineligible for a bowl game.

'The statistics are impressive on both sides, as befit the opponents in only the ninth time un-beatens have met in the 71-year history of bowl games.

warmest Sunday.

But Tarkenton, in the playoffs for the first time in his 13 years in the National Football League, said, Its always a team effort that wins football games.

Dallas, a punchless team most of the day, trailed only 10-7 in the third quarter after rookie Golden Richards sailed 63 yards for a touchdown with a Viking punt. ^

The Cowboys bench went wild. The usually blase Texas Stadium fans rolled thunderous^ cheers onto the field.

Tarkenton stepped calmly behind the center and arched a ball as far as he could throw it.

John Gilliam split Dallas defenders Mel Renfro and Cornell Green at the Cowboy four, caught the ball and stepped into the end zone. The emotion ' went out of Texas Stadium like a pricked balloon.

I didnt see him catch it, but when he took off I knew he had the ball and we had a score, Tarkenton said. However, far that pass was ... thats as far as Fran Tarkenton can throw ... not one inch more.

The play covered 54 yards. Viking cornerback Bob Bryant later intercepted a Ro

ger Staubach pass and bolted 63 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to put the Cowboys out of it.

The Cowboys, who surrendered the ball six times on mis-cues, couldnt take advantage of four Viking turnovers in the second half.

Minnesota built up a 10-0 halftime lead on Fred Coxs 44-yard field goal and rookie Chuck Foremans five-yard scoring sweep.

Richards big play put the monkey squarely on Tarken-tons back, where it has been for most of the scramblin mans career first with Minnesota, then with the New York Giants and now Minnesota again.

It was a rainbow pattern ... at that time many people thought the momentum might go over to the Cowboys, but I didnt, said pleased Viking Coach Bud Grant.

Gilliam said, I just took off and Fran put it right on the money.

who Is Nebraska's Slot-1 Fullback?

By DENNE H. FREEMAN Associated Press Sports Writer

DALLAS (AP) You no doubt have heard of Roosevelt Leaks, the roughouse All-America fullback from Texas, but can you name the fullback in Nebraskas Slot-I formation?

If you said Maury Dam-kroger, then youre either a Comhusker fan or his mother.

Damkroger, whose specialty is blocking for the runs of Tony Davis and the passing of quarterback David Humm, will be on display New Years Day in the 38th Cotton Bowl Classic between the eighth-ranked Longhorns and 12thH*anked Nebraska.

While Leaks gained 1,415

New Season For Tigers

yards and scored 14 touchdowns in gaining All-America honors as a junior, Damkroger, a senior, hasnt scored a touchdown and gained only 246 yards. He has a 4.2 yard per carry average compared to Leaks 6.2.

The Longhorns, who defeated Alabama in the Cotton Bowl last year, are slight favorites over the Comhuskers, who crushed Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl last season.

Texas posted an 8-2 season in winning the Southwest Conference title for the sixth consecutive year while Nebraska was 8-2-1 in Osbornes first campaign.

Both teams were clobbered by Oklahoma, which was the undefeated king of the Big Eight Conference.

The nationally televised game is set for a 1 p.m., EST, kickoff Tuesday with some 72,(KX) fans expected in the Cotton Bowl.

MIAMI (AP) - Its a new season for Louisiana State Universitys football Tigers, who face undefeated Penn State in the Orange Bowl New Years night. T^e Tigers like it that way. Last season didnt pan out as expected.

Last season was a 9-2 campaign earned over the regular 1973 schedule, marred by two consecutive losses after nine straight victories.

The 13th-ranked^ Tigers thus find themselves in the underdog rol against sixth-ranked Penn ^tate, 11-0 this year.

LSU Coach Charlie McClendon has been in that boat before and hes made a few other favorites seasick.

'The affable McClendon, win-

ningest coach in LSU history, owns a 6-3 bowl record in his dozen seasons as Tiger skipper. The triumirfis include three registered against previously unbeaten squads.

The game is viewed by some Penn State players as an opportunity to show certain schedule critics the Nittany Lions can win against tough competition.

The nationally televised encounter 'Tuesday night became a sellout Saturday when a local race track manager bought 800 tickets to lift a local television blackout.

Trying For Second Straight Championship

By ED SHEARER Associated Press Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) - "Wed like to be talked about in terms of the Green Bay Packers, says Coach Don Shula, who has his awesome Miami Dolphins on the threshhold of a second consecutive Super Bowl championship.

And that is something thats beep done only once in seven previous National Football League title games by the Packers of the legendary Vince Lombardi in 1967 and 1968.

The Dolf^ins, who thundered through 17 straight foes to win it a year ago, captured their third straight American Conference drown Sunday before a howling mob of 75,000 hometown fans as bruising Larry Csonka ran for 117 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-10 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

The trip to the Super Bowl will be Miamis third straight and that, in itself, is a record.

Miami was immediately es

tablished as a six-point favorite by oddsmaker Jimmy* "The Greek Snyder to whip the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII at Rice Stadium in Houston Jan. 13.

Minnesota also earned its berth Sunday in pro footbills biggest show with a 27-10 triumph over the Dallas Cowboys for the National Conference championship.

Someone asked Shula if he was thinking of becoming a legend like the late Lombardi.

"No, he said, flashing a big smile. "Id justTike to get to .500. Im one and two right now and all I want to do is get even.

The Viking clash marks the fourth time Shula has carried a team to the NFL title game. His Baltimore Colts lost to the New York Jets in the third Super Bowl game and the Dolphins fell to the Cowboys two years, ago before downing Washington last season. No other coach has been to three Super Bowls, let alone four.

Most Weekend Tourneys Won By Home Teams; Terps, 'Cats

By KEN RAPPOPORT Associated Press Sports Writer

Theres no place like home for the holidays ... and theres no place like home for the holiday basketball tournaments, either.

Traditionally the home teams win and thats exactly what happened in many of the big ones over the weekend, starting with top-ranked UCLAs triumph in the Bruin Classic.

UCLA is more awesome on the floor than they are on television, said Michigan Coach Johnny Orr after losing a lopsided, 90-70 decision in Saturday nights final. The only way youre going to beat UCLA is to be flawless in your perimeter shooting because theres no way youre going to get inside and make easy baskets. Not only did UCLA enjoy the holiday host role, but so did No. 2 Maryland, No. 6 Marquette, No. 17 New Mexico, No. 19 Nevada-Las Vegas, Temple, Hawaii, Manhattan, Davidson and Detroit.

Maryland, led by Tom McMillens 18 points, won the Maryland Invitational Tournament with a 58-37 victory over Boston College Sunday.

Marquette won its Milwaukee aassic by beating Wisconsin 49-48 on Jerry Homans jump shot with 1:19 remaining in overtime.

New Mexico captured the Lobo Invitational with a 102-68 victory over Minnesota on the strength of Bernard Hardins 21-point performance.

Ricky Sobers 22 points sparked Nevada-Las Vegas to a 77-72 success over Virginia for the title of the Las Vegas Classic.

Sparked by Joe Anderson, Temple scored 15 straight points in a five-minute span in the second half to beat California 5142 for the Quaker City championship in Philadelphia.

Hawaii won the Raintow Classic with a 76-67 whipping of Purdue behind Tom Henderson and Keith Bowman.

Manhattan took the Holiday Classic, trimming St. Johns in an all-New York final 74-65 behind Bill Campions 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Davidson grabbed the Charlotte Invitational, beating Miami (Ohio) 97-87 as John Falconi poured in 26 points.

Detroit University took the championship of the Motor City Classic, trimming Fairfield 73-

65 on 20-point scoring efforts by Owen Wells and Riley Dotson.

A home team also won in the Big Eight Tournament, although the teams were stacked in that direction. Gary Link scored four points in the final 55 seconds to give Missouri a pulsating 80-78 victory oyer Iowa State in the tournament composed only if Big Eight Conference teams.

Elsewhere, No. 14 Southern California won the All College tourney in Oklahoma City by trouncing Oral Roberts 96-75; Washington trimmed Oregon State 65-56 for the championship of the Far West Classic in Portland, Ore. and fifth ranked North Carolina State ripped No. 16 Memphis State 98-83 to win the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

In other Saturday night games involving the ranked teams, No. 3 Notre Dame smashed Kentucky 94-79; No. 7 Indiana beat Oregon for third place in the Far West Classic and lOth-ranked Long Beach State won the Evansville Classic with a 75-67 victory over Evansville, the nations No. 4 small college team.

Vanderbilt, ranked 11th in the country, routed Vermont 91-56; No. 12 Arizona trimmed SMU 86-82 for third place in the Milwaukee Classic; No. 15 Syracuse beat Chicago-Loyola 78-59 in a consolation game of the Charlotte Invitational and No. 18 Kansas State defeated Colorado 84-82 for third place in the Big Eight tourney.

By HOWARD SMITH Associated Press Sports Writer Buffalo Coach Joe Crozier and his Philadelphia counterpart Fred Shero were both unhappy over the officiating in Sunday nights 5-4 Flyers victory but for different reasons.

The refereeing was the worst Ive ever seen, declared Crozier. Philadelphia was elbowing, cross-checking, doing everything, and they just let it

go.

There were a lot of penalties that shouldnt have been called, countered Shero. "The fans were yelling but they dont know what is a penalty and what isnt most of the time. Referee Bryan Lewis called eight penalties in the game, six of them on the Flyers who set a National Hockey League record for penalty minutes last year and are ahead of that pace this time around.

Elsewhere in the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings doused the Atlanta Flames 4-2, the New York Rangers edged the Minnesota North Stars 4-3, the Toronto Maple Leafs stopped the Chicago Black Hawks 4-3 and the Boston Bruins pounded the California Golden Seals 8-1. Tom Bladon snapped a 4-4

tied midway through the final period for the Flyers who lead the West Division by three points. Bobby Qarke, Ross Lonsberry, Rick MacLeish and Andre Dupont got the other Philadelphia goals.

Red Wings 4, Flames 2 Ace Baileys unassisted goal 21 seconds into the second period proved decisive for Detroit. Marcel Dionne added a pair of scores for the Wings while Larry Romanchych and Randy Manery connected for Atlanta.

Rangers 4, North Stars 3 Jim Neilson poked in a rebound midway through the final period to give New York its winning goal.

Maple Leafs 4, Black Hawks 3

Dave Keons short-handed goal at 16:43 of the final stanza gave Toronto a come-from-be-hind victory. Ron Ellis tied it for the Leafs eight minutes earlier when his 60-foot shot bounced off a Chicago stick and over Hawks goalie Tony Espositos shoulder.

Bruins 8, Seals 1 Rookie center Chris Odd-leifson, a former first draft pick for California, scored four goals for Boston, two of them in the final period. The first-_ place Bruins lead Montreal by

five points in the East Division.

Hayes, Buckeyes Out To Break Pac 8 String

By RON ROACH Associated Press Sports Writer PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -Ohio States ground-pounding Buckeyes carry the tarnished banner of the Big Ten against Southern California iHiesday in the 60th Rose Bowl.

Coach Woody Hayes, who prefers infantry to an air force but plans some sort of passing attack, will by trying to end a four-game Big Ten losing streak to the Pacific-8, again represented by the Trojans, who beat the Buckeyes 42-17 a year ago.

This time, however, the 9-0-1, fourth-ranked Buckeyes are fa-

Scoreboard

vored by a scant two points in what Hayes admits amounts to a crusade against the 9-1-1, seventh-rated Trojans.

The Buckeyes not only will be trying to regain some prestige for the Big Ten, but the also will be trying to justify a controversial 64 vote by athletic directors that sent them West instead of conference co-cham-pion Michigan.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. EST with about 105,000 expected in the stands and millions more in an NBC national television audience.

The Trojans and Buckeyes both operate from an I formation, which Hayes borrowed from use Coach John McKay a ' few years back.

But offensive philosophies differ. McKay boasts an outstanding passer in junior quarterback Pat Haden, and Hayes team averaged less than eight throws a game, preferring to

have two sophomores tailback Archie Griffin and quarterback Cornelius Greene run the football.

The 1972 Trojans were national champions with a 12-0 record, but this year theyve had to scramble. They lost to Notre Dame, 23-14, and were tied by Oklahoma, 7-7.

"Were playing the best team weve seen this year, McKay said of Ohio State, which lost the No. 1 ranking in a 10-10 tie with Michigan.

You Can Keep Resolutions

Tom wants, advice on how to avoid breaking-his New Years Resolutions. Scrapbook this case, for you can free yourself immediately from slavery to bad habits by the advice below. And that booklet will offer additional help.

ByGEORGE W. CRANE Ph.D. M.D.

CASE Z-513: Tom R., aged 39, is very discouraged.

Dr. Crane, he said, I smoke too much.

And my wife is 30 pounds too fat.

So wed both like to break our slavery to cigarettes and excess calories at the table.

But how?

Weve tried several times and always fail.

So we have lost most of our fervor for making any new resolutions.

Dr. Crane, can you show us how to become free from these bad habits?

Faith Without Works!

In the Bible, James says Faith without works is dead.

God helps those, ran* pioneer adage, who help themselves.

This means that if we team-up with the Almighty, He will help us, but not unless we perform our share of the job.

Tobacco and drug addicts, fatties and alcoholics, can free themselves in 10 seconds of such slavery to nuisance habits!

How?

By making a 100 percent, instead of a 75 percent or even 90 percent resolution!

Most of us slaves to nuisance habits mildly resolve, but figuratively keep our fingers crossed by unvoiced mental qualifications.

Or, we think, Ill diet unless

your weak will.

(2) Avoid unnecessary temptation by stripping the deck for action!

This means, clear the house of tobacco, drugs and liquor, or clean out the refrigerator of all but a few essential foods, like cottage cheese, meat and let-

John Wayne was able to quit cigarettes when he found Death staring him in the face.

So was Arthur Godfreyand others, who finally decide 100 percent tq quit their slavery to nicotine.

(3) Avoid former associates who abetted your nuisance habits, and form a new circle of friends' who will aid your good resolutions.

(4) Tobacco addiction means a craving to expend extra muscular energy, so twirl your key ring or place a tight rubber band on your thumb, then over the back of your hand and on the little finger. Toy with it instead, of a cigarette.

' For trying to dislodge this rubber band will occupy that cigarette hand.

(5) Drug addiction and alcoholism are typical symp-

itoms of sexual inadequacy.

What do you bid now?

A.Pass. You have already told partner that you are not overly

you have been overruled. If partner had a fit for either of your suits, or if he did not have hearts adequately controlled, he would not have persisted with no trump.

What do you bid?

A.Three no trump. This might seem rather unusual, but your hand offers good prospects of providing aeven tricks, and partner should be able to scrape up the other two. Then why not redouble? The opponents must have a good save in a major, and your

Your right-hand opponent opens with one- spa^te. What do you bid?

A.Double. Tho this normally guarantees the other major, you have no better bid available. Nowadays, the jump overcall is employed as a preempUve waapon, not ai a strong bid.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C (AP)Social workers are seek ing information on a young woman who gave birth to a baby boy at Baptist Hospital Thursday and then disappeared about 15 hours later.

Hospital officials said the mother came to the hospital early Thursday with an older couple who identified themselves as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William L. Freeman of 4517 Reidsville Road. Police said there is no such address.

'The baby was bom about 5:30 a.m. and was taken to the hospital nursery. About 8 p.m. hospital employes saw the mother walking down the hall with two people who said they were her parents. She has not been seen since then.

The baby is reported healthy and normal.

Tax-Listing Time Again

Persons who own property in Pitt Countyeither real or personalare required by law to list their property for taxes during the month of January.

Pitt County Tax Supervisor Phillip Michaels said persons failing to list their property for taxes by January 31 face the prosjiects of a 10 per cent penalty for late listing.

According to Michaels, workers will be listing property for tax purposes in each township in the county. In addition, he noted that persons, who have requested to list by mail will be sent forms to enable them to list their property by mail and avoid having to wait in line in order to list.

Michaels urged property owners to list their taxes early to avoid the last minute rush and a penalty for late listing.

Some May Go To Private Use

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -State Auditor Mary Louise Foust has suggested a thorough check of thousands of credit cards held by state employes.

She said there may be widespread abuses of the system under which the workers are supposed to obtain gas, oil and supplies only for specified slate vehicles.

"What do you mean 'grubby'? Everyone dresses up for New Year's Eve! "

By NICK TATRO Associated Press Writer

State and federal investigations have been launched into reports that oil tankers were lined up along the East Coast, in some cases delaying unloading of their cargoes until the price was right.

New York State Atty. Gen. Louis Lefkowitz said Sunday his office has started a probe and officials in three other East Coast states said they were exploring the situation.

An administration spokesman said the Federal Energy Office was also looking into the reports.

I dont think theres much to it, the spokesman said.

Port officials in Boston, Philadelphia, New Haven and New York said Sunday they had no evidence that unusual

In New Ybrk, Lefkowitz said, We want to know whether the tankers are independent or owned by the oil companies and why theyre delaying.

He said it was part of a general investigation conducted by my office for the past six months as to whether this energy shortage is contrived or real.

He said he had no specific evidence yet of any tanker jam-up in the Port of New York.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Milton J. Shapp said Sunday his office probed reports of tankers being

Early Push For House Speaker

ASHEVILLE (AP)A drive has been reportedly launched to put Rep. Liston B. Ramsey of Marshall in the race for Speaker of the House in the 1977 General Assembly.

The push for Ramsey came after Rep. John S. Stevens of Asheville pulled out of the race. In a letter to his supporters Saturday, Stevens said responsibility to his family and his law practice had ruled out a commitment to remain in the legislature through the 1977 session.

Rep. Herschel S. Harkins of Asheville said he had talked with several political leaders following Stevens announcement, and all were in support of Ramsey.

Ramsey is chairman of the House Finance Committee and, by that office, a member of the Advisory Budget Commission.

backed up in Delaware Bay.

We found the problem is that were not suffering from a shortage of crude oil but a lack of capacity for refining it, he said. It makes one wonder why oil companies can claim to have a shortage and raise prices. 'The industry just seems to be using it as a device to

step up its profits.

In November, the sUte received figures from the U.S. Department of Transportation showing the crude oil stock was running slightly ahead of last year, he said.

Oil company spokesmen in Philadelidiia confirmed the increase.

Good bed furmigation is a must. Proper soil fumigation is-the first requirement for a good supply of strong healthy plants at the lowest possible cost.

Properly used, methyl bromide does an excellent job of controlling most weeds, grasses, and certain diseases, including nematodes. But due to methyl bromides chemical nature and environmental influences on its effectiveness complete and partial failures occur from improper application.

Methyl bromide used as a liquid, changes to a gas under proper conditions, killing weed seeds and disease organisms. The gas is held in the soil by a plastic cover until it has a chance to do the killing.

To adequately fumigate the plant bed, the gas must be applied at the proper rate and move through the soil for an adequate time period. Either the can or injection application methods will give good results if used properly.

Outside air temperature should be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit, preferably 60 degrees at application. A too-low temperature will keep liquid methyl bromide from converting to gas quickly enough to provide sufficiently high concentrations

Walter F. Ridenhour of Lin-ville and Greensboro died early Sunday when flames leveled a house about seven miles south of Boone.

Watauga County authorities said Ridenhours burned body was found in a bed. No cause was given for the the fire.

Fall is a better treating time than winter, and fall application should produce better results. During October, November and early December, there are usually extended periods of good weather ideal for fumigating tobacco plant beds. The soil is often too wet and the temperature too cold during winter. There is little justification of waiting until winter and the risk of fumigating when soil or weather conditions are not right or delaying fumigation and seeding beyond the desired period.

The Can Method

In this method, pressurized cans of methyl bromide containing one or more pounds are released under a plastic cover into three evaporation pans at a rate of nine pounds per 100 square yards. Adequate heat causes the liquid fumigant to quickly change to gas in the pans. The plastic cover should be supported by bags or straw, automobile tires or other suitable objects to provide space for gas movement to all parts of the bed.

If the outside air temperature reaches 60 degrees or more, the plastic covers need to be left on the bed only 24 hours. The covers should remain on the beds at least 48 hours at lower temperatures. If the beds are fumigated just before seeding, the covers should be removed and the bed allowed to aeiate at least 24 hours before seeding. In fall fumigation, the covers can be loosened or removed to allow aeration and cover support removal after a 24-to-48 hour fumigation period. The beds should be recovered to prevent the soil from becoming too wet or compacted.

Its not that were not making less (0,) its that were not making enough anymore, one oil company official said.

Last week, New Jersey Gov.-elect Brendan T. Byrne called for investigations to determine if tankers were out there waiting for their price.

On Dec..26, Connecticut Gov. Thomas J. Meskill called for a probe of persistent rumors about tankers lying off New Haven Harbor were unable or unwilling to pump their cargo ashore.

The Coast Guard conducted a survey and said it found no evidence of tankers waiting offshore. Officials said tankers often have to wait offshore for the right tidal conditions before moving into port.

A New York ship broker interviewed recently said in some isolated cases tanker captains had docked and were waiting to unload when wholesale fuel prices increased.

In most cases, ship brokers said any jam-up would occur because dock space was short and refinery capacity at the ports was tight.

Gasoline Can Killed Four

HARRISBURG, 111. (AP) - A pickup truck hit a stalled car that police said had a full can of gasoline in its trunk. The car burst into flames and a mother and three children died.

State police said the owner of the car, who was walking to get help Sunday night after the auto developed mechanical trouble, had left the gasoline in the trunk.

A second woman and one of her children were thrown from the car. They suffered second and third degree burns, and were taken to a Harrisburg hospital for treatment.

The dead are Rebecca J. Busby, 20; her son, Kenny D., 19 months, and her daughter, Tonya, 2 months. A third child, David E. Gladden, 4, of Ringo, Ga., also died.

Davids mother, Marcel Gladden, 25, and her daughter, Sharon, 6, were thrown clear of the wreckage.

Authorities said the driver of the car, Kenneth Busby, 23, of Carrier Mills, had left his car parked halfway off U.S. 45 near here with the hood up while he walked to a nearby farm seeking help.

He said he looked back and saw the car burst into flames. It had been hit by a pickup truck driven by James Holmes, 59, also of Carrier Mills. Holmes was hospitalized but authorities said his injuris were not serious.
