ECU Med School Land City's Population To Be Bought This Week^* Revised; Up

To 33,052 Figure

WASHINGTON, N.C.-Chancellor Leo Jenkins disclosed today that East Carolina University will purchase this week, 50 acres of land adjacent to the site of the New Pitt County Memorial Hospital west of Greenville for the ECU Medical School building program.

Jenkins made the announcement at a meeting of the North Carolina

Association of Educations District 15 Public School Superintendents held at the Eastern Elementary School this afternoon.

The chancellor told the educators the estimated total cost of the ECU basic medical science building and teaching hospital complex over the next few years will be approximately $40 to $50 million. He said this is opposed to the scare figures

Allocated Sum For N.C Jobs

RALEIGH (AP)At least some erf the 1,568 jobs in North Carolina under the federal emergency employment program^ could be filled next week, a state official said Monday.

Bob Whitley, special projects coordinator for the North Carolina Manpower Council, said Monday that the $12.2 million allocated to North Carolina by the U.S. Department of Labor will be enough for 1,568 positions. Nationwide, Congress appropriated $1 billion to give jobs to the unemployed. Salaries under the program will average$7,800 a year, (rfficials said.

Whitley said the Manpower Council was to meet in Raleigh , today to allocate the $12.2 million to local governments throughout the state. He said county unemployment figures were being compiled for the council to use in dividing the money.

The emphasis in this new legislation is putting people to work, Whitley said

His office is to submit contracts to the regional U.S. Department of Labor office in Atlanta Thursday and we are hoping to have people working under the prc^ram next week.

Last wedc, an official of the Atlanta (rffice urged state and local government to cut the red tape and submit their enn-ployment pr<^rams promptly.

PARKING FOR SICK STUDENTS?

Pm a day student at ECU. Recently I was sick and couldnt find any parking within several blocks of the infirmary. I finally pulled up on the sidewalk and got three citations while I was inside. I know 1 was wrong, but I wonder if special parking could be provided for sick students. R. H.

ECU Assistant Business Manager Julian Vainright said he doesnt see how special parking places for students using the infirmary could be enforced, because the campus policemen would hve no way of knowing whether the cars in the places are those of infirmary-goers or some other student. Emergency cases on campus may be transported to the infirmary by the campus police if they are called by the dornri counselor, he said.

HOW ABOUT UNDER 35S?

According to the Health Department schedule in the paper, the County Glaucoma Screening Clinic is for persons 35 and older. Glaucoma can blind younger people, too, you know. C.

Mrs. Cleo Wiley, the nurse in charge of Pitt Countys Glaucoma Screening Pribram said over 35 is used in the newspaper as a kind of guideline to let people know what age group is usually affected. Its seldom, she said, that the eye disease, which can lead to blindness, is seen in persons under 40. However, she said blood relatives, regardless of age, of anyone known to have the disease are encouraged to take the test, because the disease does seem to be hereditary. Its a simple painless test designed to measure pressure in the eyeball, she added.

WHYS EXIT CLOSED?

Why has the Fourth Street (alley) exit to the municipal parking lot at the corner of Evans and Fourth Streets been closed? It makes for more congestion on Evans Street, I think. A.C.

Jenkins pledged that the ECnJ medical school will be coordinated closely with the now-established system of Area Health Education Centers, the largest of whichincluding 17 hosiMtals in 24 eastern countieswill be based at ECJU.

He also cited federal reports indicating that 59 of North Carolinas 100 counti^ are considered critical shortage areas in medical care delivery.

Jenkins said he forsees regular helicoirfer service not just emergency service but regular helicopter commuter service for a wide radius of Eastern North Carolina, centered around the medical facilities com-plexi at Greenville.

Hijacker On Plane

LONDON (AP) A man dressed in Arab garb took over a British Airways jet at Heathrow Airport today, held a stewardess hostage and demanded to be flown to Paris, officials said.

Scotland Yard said the man was in the rear of the aircraft with the stewardess. He is keeping one hand in his pocket and it seems as if he has got a grenade there, a spokesman said.

Police said the planes captain and co-pilot were aboard, along with two stewards and the stewardess hostage. Police negotiated with the hijacker from the airport control tower.

The plane arrived at Heathrow at 2:20 p.m. from Manchester, England, and 46 passengers disembarked at the end of the runway, police said.

It was not known if more than 46 passengers had been aboard the craft.

Phuoc Binh Is Captured

By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer

SAIGON (AP) - President Nguyen Van Thieu called on the nation today to acknowledge the noble sacrifice of our soldiers with three days of mourning for the loss of the first provincial capital in nearly three years.

Powerful North Vietnamese forces overran Phuoc Binh City after a six-day siege, completing their conquest of Phuoc Long Province. They left parts of the city in flames. In a separate drive, they also seized a base guarding Tay Ninh C3ty, threatening that provincial capital 70 miles southwest of Phuoc Binh, the Saigon command said.

The U.S. Defense Department and the U.S. Embassy in Saigon denied reports that the aircraft carrier Enterprise and a group of escorting ships were sailing into South Vietnamese waters to back up the Saigon goverment.

Thieu, whose ouster is one of the objectives in the Communist offensive, urged the South Vietnamese to cease all enter-teinment because of the loss of Phuoc Binh. The Saigon mayors offlce ordered all coffee houses and night clubs shuttered for the period.

A command spokesman said radio contact was lost with government forces in and around Phuoc Binh at 9:30 a.m. following a night-long assault by some 6,000 North Vietnamese infantrymen backed by tanks and an artillery barrage of several thousand rounds.

Military officials said small units of South Vietnamese rangers were trying to fight their way out of the provincial capital near the Cambodian border 75 miles north of Saigon.

Phuoc Binh City, called Song Be by the Americans when troops of the 1st Air Cavalry Division were stationed there, is the second of South Vietnams 44 provincial capitals lost to the Chmmunists in all the years of warfare in South Vietnam and the first to fall since the North Vietnamese overran (}uang Tri City, capital of the countrys northernmost province, during the 1972 Easter offensive. South Vietnamese forces recaptured (^ng Tri City four months later.

Lt. C^l. Le Trung Hien, Saigons chief military spokesman, said casualties were heavy among Phuoc Binhs government garrison of 2,500 to 3,000 men and among the 26,000 civilians in the city, half of them refugees from the Communist

CP&L Rate Hike Gets Commission's Approval

RALEIGH (AP)The North Carolina Utilities Commission has approved all of the 21 per' cent rate hike Carolina Power & Li^t Co. put into effect on an interim basis last year.

In a 4-1 decision Mmxiay, the commission directed CPkL to alter its rate structure sli^tly so as to make a larger proportion of the increase a^rfy to heavy power users and toss to small residential users.

As a r^ult about 55 per cent of the residential users will see their basic bills remain about the same or drop shglrtly.

Dissenting to the orttor wasj Commissioner Hugh A. Wells.,

He listed a scoreboard of CP&L rate requests since 1973 which concluded that the power company had won every round and that. J<rfm Q. ^blk was the loser by a technical knockout.

The commission majority said it agonized over the effect of the rate boost <m) hard-pressed customers, particularly those with low incomes, the elderly and the handicai^ied.

It urged adoption of a federal or state wogram similar to the food stamp program to aid needy persons in paying thefri power ImIIs. |

The power company first applied for the rate hj^ Jp Octo

ber of 1973. Through commission action and a state law allowing utility firms to place" rate hikes into effect if its case is not acted on within a cotain period, the increase has gradually been placed into effect. The full increase has been collected since last October. In addition, GP&L customers have been hit by monthly increases und- the companys fuel adjustment clause.

The commission said the 21 per cent rate hike would boost CPIcL revenues by $51.7 million a year. However, Wells said an audit by the commissioD staff showed the amoimt of the increase was $74 million.

Submission of additional population data by the city to the State Department of Administration has resulted in an upward revision of the citys official population figure.

According to City Manager Bill Carstarphen, the official population of Greenville, as (rf July 1, 1973, stands at33,052 following action initiated by City Planner John Schofield in September.

The city received a letter from the office of State Planning of the Department of Administration late last summer which indicated a population figure below the 1970 census total for Greenville.

The city, in protesting the figure, submitted an assortment of information that suggested a population estimate of 31,880. That information, prepared and offered by Schofield, was later

accepted by the state agency and the new population figure was adopted.

Schofield then submitted information regarding six areas that had been annexed into the city. The areas, which included 345 dwelling units, had an estimated population of 1,172. The population of the annexed areas was also accepted by the state and the citys population was again Vevised to 33,052.

Schofield said that the new population figure is rec<%nized by the state but not by the federal census agency which still accepts the 1970 Greenville census figure (rf 29,063. The federal census is taken every ten years.

The revised figure will have a positive effect on the citys Powell Bill funding as well as state shared revenue programs, it was pointed out.

There was also no estimate of North Vietnamese casualties.

The other position lost today was the Nui Ba Den (Black Virgin Mountain) base overlooking Tay Ninh City, like Phuoc Binh also once defended by U.S. troops.

Housing Authority Hits HUD Snag On Funding New Greenville Project

By TOM BAINES Reflector Staff Writer

The Housing Authority has hit a temporary snag in its efforts to secure an annual contributions contract for the proposed 122-unit N.C. 22-5 project from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Authoritys executive director, Joe Laney, told commissioners Monday night that the development program for the new project had been submitted to HUD and word on its execution had been expected soon.

Now, he pointed out, the regional HUD office in Atlanta has been advised that the annual contributions contract for the original 17 units authorized for construction as N.C. 22-5 can not be increased and those 17 units will have to be built at the same cost as stipulated under the old ACC. The contract for those 17 units was executed by HUD in June of 1970.

Laney said this means that the difference in construction costs will have to be spread out over the entire 122 units.

He explained that the Authority has several ofrfions in figuring overall costs in view of the old A(X for the 17 units. If the per unit difference in costs is $1,000 or less, the Authority can work with the HUD cost analyst people in Greensboro to reduce the costs per imit, be continued, and if the cost is not great, the local agency might be aMe to bid the units as is on todays market.

The director said that per unit costs might be reduced by eliminating some design features but if the cost difference is great, the number of units for the project may have to be reduced in order to fund constructkm.

The Authority has been seeking a consolidated annual contract for all 122 units, pn^iosed to be built on property located in the vicinity (rf the present Meadowtjrqgk housing

Meadowtjro^

site.

Laney, who attended a housing workshop in Miami, Fla. recently with Authority commissioner Dr. Andrew Best, reported that the primary purpose of the Dec. 5-7 session was to describe the housing portion of the new Housing and (immunity Developmait Act of 1974, with special emphasis on Section Eight dealing with new low rent public housing.

He said that the section relates closely to the citys plan for a community development program because the city has to include a housing assistance plan in its overall application.

Laney, noted that new housing for the area would be provided through Section Eight of the act, pointed out that the section is flexible and offers housing through either new construction programs, rehabilitation of sutetandard housing, or through lease of existing housing.

He said that the type of housing assistance that is utilized will be based on needs as set forth in the housing assistance plan of the CDP. The citys Planning and Inspections Department is currently in the process of completing a survey of existing housing stock here and that information will be tied in with needs that are going to be generated.

Laney said that it seems to be the intention of congress to encourage private development of housing that can eith^ be opated by the developer or through an agreement with local housing authorities for the operation of the housing units. The economic feasibility of private developers taking on this type of project has been the subject of much discusrflon, he added.

He termed the workshop very informative.

Commissioners.'^^ve their approval for the use of the Newton community building by Operation Sunshine and by Pitt Technical Institute. Operatioa

Sunshine would probably utilize the building two days a week while Pitt Tech would have an educational program at the community building two or three days a week.

The Greenville Authroity will host a workshop on Jan. 21-22 on maintenance, according to Laney, who noted that maintenance directors from a number of other cities will be on hand to discuss their operations.

The attendance of staff members at workshop sessions in Fayetteville and New Bern during February and March was authorized by the commissioners.

A new rent range schedule for the 531 unitis operated by the Authority was adopted by the Board. The previous range was for 453 unitis and did not include the Newtown project.

Laney explained that the range indicates the number of tenants at various rent levels that are needed by the Authority in order to assure financial solvency. The rent range also guarantees that the Authority is taking care of as many low income families as possible.

According to Mrs. Sallye C Streeter, director of tenant affairs, only one vacancy occurred in the units operated by the Authority during December and that vacancy was due to a death.

New Judges N.C. Are Sworn In Out

RALEIGH (AP)Three Republicans and a Democrat were sworn into office as judges Monday in Raleigh ceremonies.

Edward B. Clark of Elizabethtown assumed his seat on the state Court of Appeals after taking the oath administered by Chief Judge Walter Brock. Clark was elected without oppo sition after serving as a Superior Court judge for 13 years.

Chief Justice Susie Sharp ol the state Supreme Court admin istered the oath of office to three superior court judges, all Republicans. Sworn in as special judges were Donald L. Smith of Carey, James M. Ba-ley of Asheville and Robert Gavin of Sanford.

Special judges take weddy assignments anywhere in the state from the court administrative office. They have the same rank and salary as resi dent superior court judges who rotate among the judicial districts at six-month intervals.

Smith was a resident superior court judge who was defeated in the November general election by Edwin Preston Jr. Ba-ley was on the appeals court but was defeated in November by William Copeland. Gavin had been in private law practice. # "

FHA Is Of Money

RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) - The North Carolina office of the Farmers Home Administration says it has run out of money to lend farmers for operating expenses.

James T. Johnson, state FHA director, said more farmers applied to the FHA for funds this year because tight money had dried up alternate loan sources. Johnson added that the size of loans also increased because agricultural operating expenses went up.

The FHA has already loaned $29.2 million to Tar Heel farmers this year, nearly $1.5 million above the states initial allocation.

Traditionally, the suppliers if farm needs have been big lenders, fertilizer companies for example give credit, he said. This is not as available as it has been in the past.

Another thing is the general, overall shortage of credit, the high interest rates. These fac

tors have come together to create a much larger demand this year than in the past.

Johnson said his office will get an additional $2.2 million April 1. He has applied for interim relief, but since the state has already received an extra $1.5 million, he was not optimistic.

Johnson added that the FHAs other loan programs, such as rural housing, water and sewer and community housing, were still solvent.

Because farmers usually make loan applications far ahead of the crop season, Johnson said he hoped that, the temporary lack of money would not affect next years harvest.

Perhaps we have already met the bulk of the needs, he said. Anybody who needs credit who hasnt got it is in trouble. It may cause some farmers to scale down their operations or pay a higher interest rate than in the past.

Hearings On N.C. Dunes

MANTEO, N.C. (AP)Hearings will help the federal government decide whether to continue to build dunes against erosion on the Outer Banks, as beach front property owners want, or to let nature take its course, as many environmentalists want.

The first hearing will be in Manteo next Tuesday. Others will be in Buxton and Ocracoke the following two days.

The National Park Service, which is sponsoring the hearings, lists five alternatives in i study it has made. Jim Dun ning, superintendent pf the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, says these are not the only alternatives, any reasonable proposition will be considered at the hearings.

The five:

Ask Congress to declare the area a primitive wilderness, and allow the wind and surf to reshape the islands.

Preserve the seashore as natural area.

Continue to maintain the dunes and other protective devices to combat beach erosion. Purchase or condemn private property around the villages on the Outer Banks.

Provide complete protection against erosion for development within the villages, and protect the highway running through the federally-owned areas.

missioners again discussed the proposal at its January meeting Monday night.

The town clerk was directed to write Johns, informing him that the board would be willing to consider an arrangement similar to one used in Charlotte. That is to provide the hook on, with the Department of Corrections bearing the cost. The department would receive 35 per cent of all revenues earned within the next 15 years.

Dates were set for two public hearings on housing needs in Williamston. The first is to be held at 7 p.m. on January 23, followed by a second hearing at 7:30 p.m. on February 3. The purpose of the hearings is to permit citizens to offer details on current housing needs. These will be taken under con

sideration by the town board in determining the most valid housing develoianent needs. TTie hearings are required under the provisions of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) housing acts.

Action was taken to close a number of proposed and dedicated streets in the old fair grounds area of Williamston. It was recently discovered that some of the streets, dating back to 1946, still existed on the bodes, although never constructed. The area is now the site of a new subdivision construction, and closure of the old streets is necessary for legal reasons.

No Changes For Peanut Program

Congressman Walter B. Jones announced this morning that he has been advised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that there will be no change in the 1975 peanut crop regulations.

Jones said the USDA indicated the regulations will be administered in the same fashion as for the 1974 crop year. This, of course, includes the right to lease and transfer allotments, the Congressman said.

Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz had previously seriously considered making drastic changes in the existing peanut regulations, Jones said, adding that in his opinion, the decision to make no changes in the

regulations for the 1975 crop year was the result of a meeting held in Jones home town of Farmville December 30.

At the Farmville session, Jones and leaders of the peanut industry met with Undersecretary of Agriculture Qayton Yeutter and Kenneth Frick, administrator of the Agriculture Stabilization and (Conservation Service in an effort to reach a compromise on the peanut question.

Jones said, This does not mean that this ends the negotiations for new and different legislation, since the Department (of Agriculture) is stiU insisting that there be changes in the present law.

major U.S. companies in 1974 were 7,448,921, compared with a record 9.7 million in 1973. It was the lowest total for the industry since 1963, with the exception of 1970, when a nationwide strike against GM held sales to 7.15 million.

December sales of 429,198, down from 573,730 in December 1973, were the lowest for that month in 15 years, with the exception of 1970.

Including imports, 1974 sales were 8,856,448, off 23 per cent from 1973s record of 11,435,989 and far short of the 10 million-10.5 million new car sales that industry leaders had forecast a year ago.

(General Motors Vice President Mack Worden predicted an upswing in sales this year if consumer uncertainties can be significantly reduced....

Ford Motor Co. CTiairman Henry Ford II, however, has forecast a weaker sales year in

the face of declining sales. They say the problem is a lack of consumer confidence in the economy, not resistance to high price tags.

By PATRICIA McCORMACK UPI Family Editor NEW YORK (UPI) The eyes of a mugger may be upon you when you count money at the bank or in a supermarket after getting a check cashed.

He watches through the big glass window or from a good observation point inside the bank or store.

Soviet Authorities Seek Incentives For Larger Families

EDITORS NOTE Overcrowded housing, low salaries and few labor saving devices for mothers are among the reasons Soviet families want fewer children. Authorities, concerned about the declining birth rate, are seeking incentives to encourage large families.

pregnant more than once, shell have an abortion the m#t popular Soviet method of birth control.

Tamara and her husband-to-be are not unusual. People bom after World War II now mostly have only one child, or at most, two, says Vladimir Perevedentsev, a Soviet p<^-lation expert.

But according to Professor Boris Urlanis, another expert, the average couple must have at least 2.3 children in coming years to maintain the population at its present level of 250 million.

So far, the population growth rate births minus deaths is 9.3 per 1,000 people, down from 14.9 in 1962.

The birth rate started declining after J960, when the number of births stood at 5.3 million, equal to 24.9 per 1,000 people. Nine years later, the rate had dropped to 4 million, equal to 17 per 1,000. In 1972, it picked up slightly, with 4.4 million babies bora about 17.8 per 1,000. Last year, the rate remained at this level.

Accompanying the slumping birth rate is the increasing average age of the Soviet people, which rose from 26.9 years in 1960 to 29.5 years in 1970. The number of old people also expanded.

That means a growing labor

By LYNNE OLSON Associated Press Writer

MOSCOW (AP) While much of the world is desperately concerned about overpopulation, the Soviet Union is encouraging its women to have more babies.

A big family, as a rule, is not a hardship for women,

Yelna Novikova, deputy minister of public health, has said.

But Tamara Petrova is not so convinced and she doesnt share her governments worry about the dropping Soviet birth rate. She grew up in a two-room apartment with her parents and two brothers, and remembers the frustrations and conflicts resulting from the lack of privacy.

She also recalls her mothers constant daily exhaustion after spending eight hours at a factory job, then devoting the rest of the day to cleaning, cooking and taking care of the family.

Now engaged to be married,

Tamara and her fiance have decided to have only one child.

They want to have a better, shortage in a country which fight for his life, if necessary,

more comfortable life than still needs many able bodies to and for his future outside

amount of caah hes seen so far that day.

And that day, if its typical, hell mug three times.

These points about the lifestyle of a mugger were made in an interview with James Willwerth, who spaat over four months with one.

Willwerth, an author, doesnt know the muggers name, so he called his book about the man Jones: Portrait <rf a Mugger (Evans). '

Jones is a former choir boy, street fghter, drug addict, drug dealer, and |i8on inmate, in that ordor. He started mugging at 15 to ke^ up a $200-a-day drug habit.

At 22, Jones would Uke to turn to other work but, with his prison record, most jobs are closed. He gave Willwerth the impression hes sworn off mugging but Willwerth isnt sure.

About how Jones mugs, lets pick up the scene with you counting money after getting a check cashed in a bank or supmnarket.

When you emerge, Jones will appear from out of nowhere, walking beside you, asking the time or for directions.

You pause and look at your watch or otherwise treat him as an honest inquirer. He engages you in little conversation but keeps walking with you.

By this time, he has his eye on the doorway or building hes going to shove you against at knifepoint, Willwerth said. Elapsed time -nnaybe 20 ~seconds.

All the time a mugger needs is 30 seconds.

He puts his hand on your shoulder, turns you toward him, shoves you against the doorway or building and has his knife against the jugular vein in your neck.

Your money, he says, with a frantic edge to the words.

The mugger is in a high state of excitement. He is ready to

develop a vast treasury of unexplored natural resources and to expand industry.

The state gives a 20-ruble ($26) cash grant to a woman on the birth of her third child. After her fourth child, she receives an initial 65-ruble ($85) grant and four rubles per month until the baby is four years old. Grants and monthly allowances increase with each additional child.

A woman also gets four months of paid maternity leave for each child and may take a one-year leave without pay after the babys birth.

Several Soviet demographers have said the government must provide greater incentives if it wants to stimulate the birth rate.

Among the suggestions have been extension of the length of the maternity leave, reduction of the working day for women with children under three, and consideration of the work of a mother in caring for children under three as regular employment.

The loss of potential mothers to the labor force is a deterrent to such incentives. Valentina Tereshkova-Nikolaeva, the only woman ever to be launched into space and head of the Soviet Womens Committee, says such incentives would also harm a woman trying to advance professionally.

Mrs. Tereshkova-Nikolaeva advocates instead more and better child care facilities and the maximum release of the working woman from housework.

DAR Chapter MeetingPlanned

Major Benjamin May Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will meet Saturday, at 3 p.m. at the Womans Club House, Greenville.

prison.

If you scream or resist, hell either hit you on the head with the weighted handle of his knife or knock your feet out from under you.

If this wont stop you, the mugger will cut you. He doesnt like doing that. But he has no choice if you continue to resist him.

Smile and give the mugger your money, Jones advises.

If you figure that karate or judo will help, forget it.

"The mugger has been in street fights since the age of eight, Willwerth said. "You wont stand a chance against him.

The important thing to remember ... is that the mugger is in such a state of fear and torment that hes like a ticking bomb. You can set him off.

In the street, muggers also get signals from the way people act or from their clothes.

If you act a little nervous, the mugger fgures youve got something to lose, Willwerth said.

Or if youre too well dressed for a neighboriood, he gets the idea youve probably got a bundle of cash.

Some tips from Willwerth on protecting yourself:

If a gang of youths follows you, cross the street. If the gang crosses, run. Youve probably been sized up for a group mugging.

Dont lneak stride if someone suddenly joins you on the sidewalk and seems to walk step by step wiUi you while asking a question. Breaking stride will give the mugger enough time to get control. The best course; walk faster, if possible, and ignore the questions.

Two points about Jones:

When he has you backed into a doorway or against a wall he will not hurt you if you dont fight.

He has worries. My work is dangerous. But its the only work open to me.

A postscript from Willwerth:

I came to see Jones as a human being and as a friend. Still, it U not enough that he happens to be likaUe.

He is a dangerous and instable man.

DEAR ABBY: Fourteen months ago, my husband and I moved from Waco to Victoria, Texas. A friend from Waco told me to call her sister who lives in Victoria, so I did.

This woman calls me every day and ties me up for hours. She wont get off the phone.

I like her very much and wouldnt want to hurt her feelings because shes a very sensitive person, but if I dont call her, she calls me and asks why I didnt call her. If I tell her Ive been shopping, she asks why I didnt let her know that I was going shopping so she could go with me.

Her husband does most of the housework and all the marketing, so shes left with nothing to do and thinks everyone else has nothing to do all day like her.

If I have a card game and dont invite her I pray that she doesnt find out because shell get hurt and angry. Im afraid Ill have to move out of Victoria to get some peace. I feel like my life isnt my own any more. How do I get out of her clutches without hurting her feelings?

SMOTHERED IN VICTORIA

DEAR SMOTHERED: There is no compromising with possessive people who make you feel guilty if you dont include them in every part of your life. If you want peace, youll have to hurt her feelings by cutting her phone conversations shorter and shorter. If you havent the courage to extricate yourself, tolerate the loss of freedom and dont complain.

DEAR ABBY: Everybody has a problem. Heres one Ive never seen in your column. Its my husbands.

Charley is an amputee who gets around quite well in his wheelchair, but his biggest problem is finding restrooms with doors that are wide enough to get his wheelchair through.

Perhaps if you print this letter and the enclosed poem (author unknown), architects who design public buildings will be more considerate of folks in wheelchairs:

I burn the rubber off my wheels. I can hardly wait;

My wheelchairs 30 inches wide, the John is 28.

Some plead for civil justice when they are set upon.

I ask for just one freedom, the right, to use the John.

Ive thought about reforming and changing my evil ways;

To be a model of deportment for the remainder of my days.

But when I get to heaven and face the pearly gates,

St. Peter will say, Youre 30 inches wide.

Our gates are 28! AVON PARK, FLA.

DEAR FLA.: The^ks for combining a serious and worthwhile thought with a bit of humor. Ive found that those who have the most to gripe about are the first to see the humor in a difficult situation.

DEAR ABBY: I was shocked to discover that even you believe that being single makes a woman a second class citizen. I

You told No words that the most generous thing she could do for her best friends daughter, who shocked everyone by coming home with a small child after her promising marriage failed, would be to introduce the divorcee to some eligible bachelor, and keep her socially active. How disgusting!

It sounds as though you are trying to get some homely wallflower out of the closet.

Abby, being single is not a disgrace or some horrible defect that needs to be immediately corrected.

SINGLE AND SECURE

DEAR SINGLE: Granted, not all divorcees want another marriage, but I still think that MOST divorcees would welcome an opportunity to meet eligible bachelors and become socially active again. And those who dont can always decline.

DEAR ABBY: How do you forget a guy? He and I had a great relationship for two months, then his old girl friend started calling him and he started seeing her again, and thats when I lost him.

He said he thought he could care for me, and I know he meant it. I fell in love with him the first night we were alone together.

When the other girl was out of the picture, things were perfect between us, but when she came back, I gradually saw him less and less. Finally I couldnt stand it any longer and told him we had to talk openly and freely. He said he cared for the othei^girl a lot, but he cared for me. too. He even admitted that he didnt know why he cared for the otber girl because she treated him like dirt, and I treated him good.

Abby, is this what I get for being nice? I told him I couldnt handle a part-time relationship, and he said hed think it over. '

I havent heard from him since. I am miserable and depressed. Should I call him and ask if there is still bope for us? I am 22 and he is 21. The other girl is 19. Please help me.

MISERABLE

DEAR MISERABLE: You caught him temporarilyon the rebound but the moment his old girl friend whistled, he came running, which proves his feeling for her was only dormant, not dead.

Its strange how some people prefer those who treat them like dirt. (They practically ask for abuse because unconsciously they dont have a very high opinion of themselves, and feel they deserve it.)

I know its not easy to forget a guy you think you love, but if you concentrate on other things, instead of dwelling on him, you can do it. Start today!

Everyone has a problem. Whats yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A.. Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please.

For Abbys booklet, "How to Have a Lovely Wedding, send $1 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped (204) envelope.

By Erma Bombeck

Do you have any idea the number of people who did not want to hear about our vacation to Africa last year?

Counting our own children, the number would fill Madison Square Garden three times.

With the possible exception of a man who is anti-ecology and doesnt stand up and salute when John Wayne walks into a room, no one is held in contempt more than the winter vacationer.

His postcard showing a crowded beach in Miami is never read ... his box of grapefruit from Arizona is met with resentment... and if he has any delusion of sharing an

amusing incident that happened in a casino at Free port, forget it!

Heaven knows, we are not your usual line of jet setter who whips off every winter to get away from the little people. The occasion was our 25th wedding anniversary and I said to my husband, "I want to go somewhere they havent seen my two dresses. After three weeks, we returned ready to regale our host of friends with our experiences.

At first, I waited politely until the opportunity seemed to be right. When someone com-

plained about the lines at the bank, I smiled and said, Speaking of lines, I have a tan line I got in Africa in the most amusing place. The crowd dispersed.

Or when the conversation turned to diets, I said loudly, As I was saying to a Masai chief just outside of Kenya, how do you survive on a diet of blood and milk? (That night two got crushed to death in my doorway trying to escape.)

After awhile, it didnt matter. Id walk up to a waiter I had never seen before and say, Speaking of Zebra rump ... or Id address a small group of children playing ball in the street, Have I ever told you about the night in Shabunda when I forgot to zip the tent?

Thats why the other night I couldnt believe my good fortune when a companion turned to me and said, You never told me about your trip to Africa.

God had sent me a live one. For an hour and a half I was the regaler and she was the willing regalee. She laughed at my luggage with the broken handle story, listened to my statistics, made guttural sounds over my pictures.

Then she said to me, Talk about coincidence. Frank and I just got back from Japan ... in 1966.

I know it was cruel, but I told her 1 was haying labor pains three minutes apart.

Acting Now On Futur ProblmCritics

New attention was focused on the Eastern Area Health Education Center with the announcement last week that an Eastern North Carolina native, Dr. F. M. Simmons Patterson had been appointed executive director.

Dr. Patterson is now director of the Cancer Control Program at the Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center. He will be in charge of a program which will embrace 24 counties and 17 community hospitals in the east and will have his (rffice on die ECU campus.

The Eastern AHEC is one of nine centers which have been established throughout the state. Eastern AHEC includes the largest geographical area of the state.

Among the AHECs work will be planning for rotation of medical students and residents into (tffice practices and hospitals throughout the state. The Eastern AHEC will also provide training in the entire health manpower field, including physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, allied health and public health personnel. The pr(^ram is administered through the UNC School of Medicine under a contract.

Dr. Patterson said he plans to visit all 17

hospitals in the area and he sees his center as a partnership between the medical schools and the community hospitals.

One of the main objectives is to improve the quantity the quality and distribution of health care persiMinel, he said.

Eastern AHEC Chairman Dr. Ed Monroe said in announcing the appointment that Dr. Patterson knows well the health care problems and needs of our area.

Development of the Eastern AHEC program should move rapidly with the appointment of Dr. Patterson as director. The AHECs work will be unique in the nation, and with its organization we should obtain the maximum benefit from the medical personnel we have available.

Reports from many areas of the state tell us that the physician shortage is going to get worse in the future as older practicing physicians retire. Fortunately North Carolina is moving through its AHEC pr(^rams and through development of a new medical school at ECU to do something about meeting our critical medical needs. The Eastern AHEC will play a most important role. ^

Lobbying Is Honored Work

By BILLNOBLITT

RALEIGHLobbying is an ancient and honored profession, much misunderstood by the average citizen who sees something sinister in it.

Everybody has a right to present their cause, or to have it jH-esented.

If you condemn that process, then you are saying people dont have a right to present their cause to government, says Hathaway Cross, retiring dean of state lobbyists.

Hie term comes from the lobbies and halls of Parliamentand legislative buildings in this country and has come to be used as a title for people who frequent the lobbies for the purpose of influencing legislative action.

But let me tell you something. Ive been at it since 1935, and its an open and honest job. You let somebody get out of line, and the legislators will take care of that.

Youre not down here putting the screws or pressure on somebody. If they dont conscientiously believe in what theyre being told, then theyre not going to do'it. Cross said.

Must Be Honest

Surely legislation often originates from pressure groups, but it has to be honest legislation to win. I have never run across something I thought was dishonest or unethical. Even if anybody wanted to be, he couldnt get away with it. If members of the General Assembly dont accept what he says, his services are no longer valuable.

The biggest part of a lobbyists job. Cross said, is presenting facts, and anyone who misleads doeait last long.

Cross became a lobbyist after serving as a member of the House of Representatives from Gates County, thi working in the state paroles department, as a secretary to Gov. Qyde R. Hoey, and as an assistant revenue commissioner.

In 1949 he opened a private law office and soon became a major lobbyist. His first big legislative battle was, he now concedes, also his toughest.

It was shortly after the Second World War and margarine was trying to hang on after serving as an acceptable substitute for butter during the warnow the victim of dairy efforts to push it back off the market.

'The big fight came over

whether margarine (then required to be clled Oleo) could be colored to look like butter) when served in restaurants. Dairymen wanted to keep oleo white, but Cross, representing the cottonseed crushers who processed margarine, saw a law barely limp by which permitted yellow margarine.

His toughest lost battle was representing the trucking industry in efforts to get approval for twin trailers.

But Ooss doesnt like to keep score in won or lost columns: Of course, a lot of

times you dont win or lose.....

you compromise.

Hard Work

Cross is high in praise for the General Assembly, and state government in general. Theyre working pretty hard, especially in committees. The public doesnt see all that activity, and people think that all a legislator does is what is seen on the floor of the house or senate.

Still, Cross sees some differences today between the tone and positive nature of government and the people of the state in contrast to the Shelby Dynasty which he served in the 40s.

I was proud to be a part of

it. People called it a machine, sure, but it was an organization devoted to one cause, and that was good government.

Today, he sees a younger breed of legislator and an absence of the colorful, strong leader from the past.

One cause of that, he believes, is the one-man, one-vote rule which ended North Carolinas practice of having a member of the House of Representatives from every county however small.

Im still a believer in that .. .the people are closer to the representative that way, and every county should have a representative.

Ooss sees lobbying as an integral part of the governmental process. Laws, after all, dont emerge full-blown from the heads of lawmakers. They come from people back home who suggest problems and solutions. Often, those -people are members of associations who hire somebody in Raleigh to represent them.

Of course you might recommend something. But unless you have people behind you who believe in this, and legislators who really believe it is right, you dont get far, Ooss said.

Give Up Panama Canal?

WASHINGTONAn om-

nious little story appeared a couple of weeks ago in the Washington Post under a dateline of Panama City. It was headed U.S.-Panama Accord Seen in Early 1975. This was Marlese Simons lead:

A U.S. concession to surrender jurisdiction over the Panama Canal Zone at the end of five years had led to confident predictions by an authoritative source that a new U.S.-Panama canal treaty would be ready for signature next year.

Very well. Let us sound the alarm bells and summon such able warriors as Congressman Dan Flood of Pennsylvania and Soiator Jesse Helms of North Carolina. For the past 2 years, Flood has been raising Catonian cries in the House. Helms had made himself a Senate leader of the fight to prevent a giveaway of vital rights and (operty in the Canal Zone. This concession

to surrender cannot possibly be approved.

We ought to understand, all of us, what is at stake in these negotiations, both as to the Canei past, and as to the (3anal future.

Under the Treaty of 1903 the U. S. acquired rights in perpertuity over a 10-mile-wide zone of Panamanian territory. The rights included all power and authority the United States would possess if it were sovereign. By direct purchase from private owners, the United States also acquired title, in fee, to certain lands now involved.

In 1914, after a tremendous and costly feat of engineering, we opened the Panama Canal to the shipping of the world. For 60 years the Canal was operated without an increase in tolls. Some 70 percent of the tonnage through the Canal in recent years has originated in, or been destined for, the United States. Apart from its commercial value, the Canal

Moscow's New Arms Deal The Opportunity

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON-Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow last weekend secretly concluded a new agreement to send Egypt soi^isticated arms, a fact that should moderate exaggerated optimism here greeting the postponement of Brezhnevs state visit to Cairo this month.

Precise details of the new Cairo-Moscow arms deal are not yet known, but specialists here say it defuiitely includes such high-value weapons as MIG-23 aircraft and late model T-62 tanks.

Ever since President Anwar Sadat ordered Soviet advisers out of Egypt in 1971,

Moscow has been parsimonious about sending high-grade military arms to Egypt. That virtual embargo tightened after Sadat decided to put all his eggs in the American basket following ^ the October 1973 war.

Now, however, the still unannounced new arms deal argues strongly that, despite postponement of Brezhnevs Cairo summit, Sadat succeeded in reopening his arms-supply lines to Moscow as a hedge against Secretary of State Henry Kissingers uphill effort at further Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai.

Worry that Kissingers effort might conceivably succeed may be why Brezhnev posponed his Cairo

visit. With the Soviets successfully excluded from Kissingers personal diplomacy, Brezhnev could have looked foolish arriving in Cairo with Kissinger moving toward another triumph.

But by opening up the new supply line, Brezhnev strengthened his position to claim at least equal access with the U.S. in Cairo if, as many experts now fear, Kissinger cant bring off a new Israeli pullback in the Sinai.

A footnote: While agreeing that Brezhnev is suffering from a respiratory ailment, top officials here dont believe illness was a major factor in postponing the Cairo visit.

Cook Under Pressure

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, with strong White House backing, is trying to enlist ex-Nixon aide Richard Cook in one of the nastiest, most difficult jobs in town: Assistant Secretary of State for Ckmgresskmal Affairs.

With his status in C:ongress

The North Carolina Senate gets a chance in January to affirm a belief in accountability to the people who send them to Raleigh. And theSenate experience may provide a weathervane for the less adventurwis House of Representatives.

When the General Assembly convenes, senators will find on their chamber desks a panel wired in to the new electronic voting system for which $77,000 has been spent If the system is used to the fullestas every voter has the right to expectthe Senate will permanently record every vote on every issue which comes before that body. If it is notand the cynics among us tend to doubtthen the Senate may effectively sidetrack its individual accountability.

By no means unanimous was the decision to install the device. Crafty old-time politicians have long since learned the tricks of parliamentary procedure that can keep an office-holders true feelings out of the public domain. And one of their most comforting ploys was based on the knowledge that the time-consuming roll call vote can most often be avoided. A mumbled voice vote or a quick stand-up count has in a majority of cases provided the final Senate determination of a measures fate. And anyone who has ever sat in a legislative gallery, attempting to puzzle out the strange goings-on on the chamber floor, knows the futility of pinning down a legislators specific role.

Our hope is that the Senate will set as a prime first order of business the full use of the electronic system. It could be that the House, yet resisting any similar attempts to record automatically its floor votes, would be moved to go and do likewise.

has been immeasurable strategic value also. Flood calls it the jugular vein of this hemisphere, and the description is apt.

Panama has benefitted also. More than 40 percent of Panamas foreign exchange earnings, according to a State Department paper last year, and nearly one-third of Panamas gross national product are directly or indirectly attributabnle to the presence of the Canal.

What of the future? Panama now exists under the iron rule of General Omar Torrijos, who seized power in October of 1968. He is notoriously pro-Arab and pro-Communist. Before any surrender of jurisdiction is approved, we should ask ourselves how in the name of common sense the U. S. could benefit from Panamanian control. The prospect is for nationalization; the prospect is for Torrijos to do in Panama what General Nasser did in Suez.

Now, it is understandable that Panama chafes under the continued U. S. presence. Senator Alan Cranston of California, who favors a new treaty, has asked how Americans might feel if the British still held perpetual rights along the Erie Canal. Doubtless the present situation is indeed a source of conflict, and after 10 years of intermittent negotiations, Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker doubtless is correct in saying the Panamanians are impatient.

But there comes a time when great powers must bdbave as great powers. Not every source of conflict can be removed. Some conflicts must be endured; they must be lived with. Not every wounded sensitivity can be soothed. When every reasonable and prudent concession to Panama has been made, a line has to be drawn: No more. And sorry about that.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A final decision on the Ford administration proposal to charge needy people more for food stamps has been delayed, raising a possibility that some compromise may be in the works.

The plan to charge more for food stamps has encountered stiff criticism in Congress. Lawmakers say growing unemployment and other economic hardships should lead to easier access to food stamps.

The proposal, announced Dec. 4, would require food-stamp families to pay a flat 30 per cent of their net income regardless of the size of households. The higher costs would put the stamps out of reach for many persons,, principally couples and persons living alone.

Currently, food stamp recipients pay an average of about 23 per cent of their net incomes for coupons, depending on household sizes as well as net earnings.

A final decision on the plan to begin March 1 was expected to have been announced last week by the Agriculture Department. But a spokesman said Monday the proposal still was under consideration.

A flood of protest was included in some 2,500 public comments filed with the department in response to the proposal. Those have to be considered before a final decision is made, the department spokesman said.

Another wave of criticism is expected when (ingress reconvenes. Some lawmakers have indicated they would offer bills to change the food stamp law and keep benefits at more liBi-eral levels.

The higher payment proposal was made under an administrative procedure which Agriculture Department officials say does not require congressional approval under current law.

The higher food stamp charges were proposed at the direction of President Ford as a budget-cutting action to save $215 mUlion in the final four ' Continued on page 5)

How Secure Social Security?

Strength For Today

FEAR

Fear is one of mankinds greatest enemiesfear of illness, fear of poverty, fear of accident, fear of losing a job. But w(M^ of all is the fear of fear.

There is no power adequate to flgbt fear except the power of faith. Believe deeply enough in the goodness (k)d, in the sufficiency of Jesus (Christ, in the eternal significance of life, and you will make an onslaught against fear which riiould greatly diminish its pow;.

A diort time ago a great calamity came upon a

woman who all her life had been a worrier over small things. Yet strangely enough, this calamity did not destroy her but instead engendered a faith and confidence which has changed her whole penMxiality. Her worries over sma|l things are gone \ because she has foimd God.

We only cure our

dispositkm to worry when we restore our whole personality to robuM spiritual health. We need to cleanse our souls of the doubt from whidh fear arises.

By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Social Security is basically sound, the administration of it is first class, it is efficient, said J. Henry Smith, a' member of the governments Advisory Council <xi Social Security. I think they do a fine job.

Smith also is chairman of Equitable Life Assurance Society, one of the largest companies in the life-health insurance industry, which in decades past sometimes was highly (Titicail of the Social Security concept Disputing critics who insist the disability and retirment insurance program is financially unstable, Smith maintained in an interview

that the possibility of bankruptcy was so slim as to barely exist

Social Security is just as secure as Congress wants to make it, he said. If Congress doesnt provide the funds it isnt secure. But Congress will provide the money, so the public has little to be concerned about.

Recognizing that if benefits are to be increased so must revenues, the advisory council is expected late this month or early in February to recommend a sharp increase in the maximum taxable wage base to $24,400 from $14,100.

If Congress accepts the recommendation it would mean93 percent of American

workers would have taxes withheld from incomes throughout the year. That is, 93 per cent earn $24,000 or less a year.

While this probably is the major recommendation that will appear in the councils report, it was not unanimously accepted by all 13 members.

Smith disagrees with it because, in his opinion, it violates the original spirit of Social Security, in which the program was to be the middle of a threetier system, with welfare at the bottom and private supplemental insurance at the top.

'The panel reaffirmed the three-tier system. Smith said, but then went on to invade it, recommending the

higher wage base, which would mean that taxes withheld would juop to a maximum $1,404 from $824.85.

That amount $579.15 Smith and others in the private insurance industry are inclined to feel, should be theirs to seek in sales o( supplemental insurance and pension programs. 'They feel it is, so to speak, their territory.

Smith said he always believed in the i^ilosophy that those earning substantial amounts of m<mey shouldnt be reliant on government to provide their total pensions, but should seek their own protection from private enterprise sources.

The Dally Reflector, Greenville, N.C.>Tnefday. January 7, lf7SSMany Tax Biils Seen;'But Won't Mean Anything'

By ROBERT B. CULLEN Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH (AP) - Everyones going to introduce a tax bill. But it wont mean anything.

Thats the opinion of State Sen. Russell Kirby, D-Wilson, on the prospects for major tax reform during the 1975 session of the North Carolina General Assembly.

Kirby chaired an interim tax study commission that tenta

tively decided not to recommend any major changes in the tax laws.

Its repmrt is still being prepared, but it is expected to recommend only minor revisions.

One would give an inheritance tax break to widows mi the initial portion of their husbands estate.

The other would remove the present $120 ceiling on the sales tax for cars, boats and private airplanes.

Kirby thinks these two reforms wUl pass. He does not think anyone will be able to put together a coalition sufficient to pass more sweeping revisions, although he expects many to try.

Among the bills likely to be introduced, according to knowledgeable legislators, are:

A package that would repeal the state sales tax on food, at a loss to the state in revenue of an estimated $70 million, and

WILUAMSTONThe Martin County Board of Education Monday gave tentative approval to purchase of additional land for the East End School in Robersonville. The board is now requesting the Martin County Commissioners to provide funds necessary for the purchase. The exact purchase nice is being negotiated with the owners.

Two representatives, Mrs. Louise Keel oi the Martin County Association of Teachers and Mrs. Ollie Moses of Pace Academy, appeared before the board urging support of the one cent sales tax that would help pay off school bond indebtedness.

Under the provisions of

federal law 93-380, a policy was approved on proce<hires for students and parents to have access to information maintained on students at schools. This law covers Family Education Rights and Privacy Acts of 1974.

Board members also voted to approve a direct affiliation membership with the National School Board Association. This association is in addition to the boards membership in the N.C. State SdKX)l Board Association.

A notice is being advertised for a public hearing to be hdd on February 3 relative to the upcoming closing of the Oak City

and Robersonville Schools. Both will close with the opening of a new combined school near Gold Point scheduled for September 1975.

A low bid of $17,490.72 was accepted for cafeteria equipment for the new Roanoke School. Ezekiel and Weilman Company of Richmond were successful low bidcfors.

Two school board members, chairman George McRory and -Macon Holiday will refuresent Martin County schools at the national school board meeting to be held in Miami in Aiil.

make up the revenue by removing the ceiling on sales taxes and increasing income taxes in the upper brackets.

The income tax rate would increase from a high of 7 per cent to 8 per cent on net tax-aUe income from $15,000-$20,000 ; 9 per cent on $20,000-25,000; and 10 per cent on income over $25,000.

Its {x-incipal speaker. Sen. McNeill Smith, D-Guilford, thinks it would help spread the states tax burden more equitably. He says it is highly regressive now.

The package almost won legislative approval last year. Smith hopes new members of the legislature will be more favorably disposed.

A flexible plan of relief for low and middle income taxpayers sponsored by Rep. John J. Hunt, D-Cleveland. Hunts plan would give an additional $2,000 exemption to taxpayers with incomes of less than $8,000. For taxpayers with incomes between $8,000 and $12,-000, the additional exemption would decline $1 for every $2 of taxable income.

Hunts plan would cost the state $85 million in revenues. He would make it up by cutting the base budget of the state and by passing a tax increase favored by the North Carolina Christian Action League.

* Transportathm Secretary ^ President Ford, after resolving earlier misap-lirehensions, is seriously thinking of naming federal highway administrator Norbert Tiemann as Secretary of Transportationa non-controv-enial choice in welcome omtrast to the storm over Edward Levis selection as Attorney General.

Tiemann has strong backing from Capitol Hill and RepuUican governors. But Mr. Ford had misgivings about Tiemann, remembering problems he had vthen, as governor of Nebraska in 1967-71, he irritated Nebraskas old guard Republican establishment. The Presidwt has since been reassured that Tiemanns problems, culminating in his defeat for reelection, stemmed from his progressive record in bringing Nebraska state government out of the dark ages. Whats more, Tiemann now is supported by Nebraskas ultra-conservative Republican Senators, -Roman Hruska and Carl Curtis.

Thus, Tiemann would be far less trouble for confirmation than John Robson, a brilliant young Chicago corporation lawyer who was Lyndon B. Johnsons Under Secretary of Transportation. Robson angered special transportation intere^ and still regarded by some ^Senators as an LBJ Republican. So, if Robson is willing to .sacrifice his lucrative law practice to come here, it may be as Domestic Council director in the White House, not a cabinet post requiring Senate confirmation.

omy, energy, consumerism and effectiveness of the state government were also discussed when the senators drew up their legislative program.

Few specifics of what was decided were revealed, but several sources said no-fault auto liability insurance was givm a high priority. That topic has been considered in past sessions.

No-fault auto liability insurance is a different concept of paying for damages in an accident and is more like the rtii-losophy of other types of insurance. In most accidents, the drivers involved would be compensated for damages and most medical expenses by their own insurance companies regardless

of who caused the accident.

Unc^ no-fault, insurance costs. usually reduced because there is no need to go to court and sue to recover damages in most accidents. Also, no-fault insurance plans generally forbid suits unless the damage exceeds a cortain amount or the injuries are serious.

Most of the 49 senators attended the caucus Monday. There is only one Republican in the 1975 Senate.

Lt. Gov. Jim Hunt, a Democrat, said the caucus doesnt bind the senators to vote as a bloc on the party program. The private session was important because it allowed senators to speak freely. Hunt said.

Elvis Party

Amnesty Offer Has A Deadline

By JERRY T. BAULCH Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) The Presidential Qemency Board, reporting that only 900 of the 100,000 eligible men have applied for clemency, is asking the nations radio and television stations to broadcast reminders that Jan. 31 is the deadline for the program.

Board (Airman Charles E. Goodell said the main reason so many convicted draft evaders and deserters are not applying is because many dont know they are eligible.

Goodell told a news conference Monday that the board is mailing out to all radio and television stations 30-second and 60-second tape recordings explaining the clemency program and reminding of the deadline. The tapes were made by two board members, retired Marine Gen. Lewis W. Walt and the Rev. Theodore M. Hes-burgh. Radio tapes in Spanish by another board member, Aida Casanas OConnor, are being sent to Spanish-speaking stations.

Goodell wrote the station managers in asking them to air the tapes frequently as a free public service.

Gk)odell said he does not expect President Ford to extend the Jan. 31 deadline, but he conceded that a good response to the broadcast campaign could be an argument for extending it.

<]k>odell made public the names, but not the hometowns, of 47 men granted pardons or conditional amnesty by Ford last week, the second group acted on. The terms of alternate service ranged from three months to one year.

Gk>odell said the President so far has followed all the boards recommendations, including rejection of less than five applications.

Goodell rejected a suggestion that the ix>gram is a bust. He said the low sign-up rate was the result of eligible persons not getting the word, mistru^ of the government, confusion and an obsession with the draft evaders and deserters in Canada.

I got permission to put a big box on the gates at Ghraceland to hold the cards and I just hope people will stop by Elvis house and put a birthday card in the box sometime Wednesday to let him know were thinking about him and wishing him a happy birthday, she said.

Graceland is Presleys mansion in south Memphis.

NEW YORK (AP) - Former New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner and Mrs. Bennett C^erf, the widow of the founder of Random House, plan to wed at the end of the month.

The marriage will be Wagners third. His first wife, the former Susan Edwards, died in March 1964. He was divorced from his second wife, Barbara Joan Cavanaugh Wagner, in June 1971.

Wagner is 64. Mrs. Cerfs age is unavailable.

Mrs. Cerf, an author, is currently overseeing the publication of a political and governmental guide to New YoA as a fund raising venture for the states new Democratic govo*-nor Hugh L. Carey.

Wagner is one of Careys closest advisers.

They each have two sons: Robert and Duncan Wagner and Christopher and Jonathan C!erf.

Friends said a Caribbean honeymoon is planned.

That proposal would increase the taxes on alcoholic beverages. There would be an additional three per cent sales tax on liquor; an additional penny for each 12-ounce can of beer; and an additional 60-90 cents tax on a gallon of wine.

Those new taxes would ta-ing in approximately $15 million per year.

The soft drink industry is expected to lobby once again for the removal of the one cent crown tax applied to every unit of soft drinks sold.

Business interests are again expected to seek repeal of the manufacturers inventory tax. Most {xroposals for this would phase in a credit for inventory taxes paid to local gov-enunents over a period of five years. The evaitual cost to the state would be about $1(X) million, according to Kirby.

This tax bill had wide support

in 1974. But it failed, partially because politically powerful retail merchants said they wanted their inventory taxes removed as well.

Gov. Jim HoWiouser and many others say its removal would help the state attract industry.

Despite the clamor of many interest groups for tax reform, Kirby thinks all will fail.

One reason is the uncertain state revenue picture. It creates strong pressure to make up any tax reduction somewhere else. Holshouser and many legislators have pledged to resist tax increases of any sort.

Another reason is the tobacco lobby. It fears that a tax reduction will eventually result in an increase in the tobacco tax. As Kirby said, Any knbwledgable person realizes that a cut in one tax causes an increase in another. Tobacco people are realistic when they see that.

Although North Carolinas tobacco tax is the lowest in the nation, cigarette interests still fear that an increase would lower demand for their product.

But Smith and others are undaunted. Only about IMj per cent of the families in the state would suffer a net loss from our proposal; the people are clamoring for tax relief and this would give it to them while helping to make the system fair, he said.

Rick Mobley Carries Conley Title Hopes

Players Return, Top Buckeyes

.... aVioa/t the first 11111

By CHIP LAMBETH Reflector Sports Writer WINTERVILLE-If D. H. Conley has any hopes of winning a conference and state basketball championship this year, their chances may rest on a young man who wears a number familiar to N.C. State fans.

Conleys wearer of No. 44 shoots, rebounds, hustles and plays basketball almost like the legendary 44 of Wolfpack fame, David Thompson. And the Vikings chances may hinge on this player.

Forward Rick Mobley has been one of the top Viking players for the last two and a half seasons and is currently leading the team in scoring. He is averaging 18.8 points a game and has been in double figures in ail but one of the Vikes 12 games this season. His highest scoring game came against Washington just last week when he hit 30 points. In the previous three games, Mobley scored 29, 28 and 28.

But the number is the only real similarity to David Thompson. I just try to get my own style, Rick said. I cant jump as high as he can. And style he has. Mobley can hit from almost anywhere on the floor: from the corner, from 25 feet, from the cirle, the baseline or on the layup. He is the heart of the Conley offense and if he clicks, so does the rest of the team.

Unselfish Teammates Tf I hit my shots, the other guys will get open. Clenell Streeter will hit most of the time. He also said that Melvin Williams benefits if Rick is having a good night. Were not (a team) that is selfish. If they can, make the shot from the coftier, they will try to get it inside to get the high percentage shot.

I havent played on a team that was selfish. I enjoy playing with them. We play together well, Mobley said.

Although basketball is the only sport Rick plays at Conley, he plays for a very good reason. I love the game, he said. Its not because I dont have anything else to do, I just love the game. Mobley has played

both guard and forward and in the Conley offense he is both, a swing man.

Before games, the Vikings prepare much like a football team. Usually before a game, Mike Sutton our scout, will run the (opponents) offense and we try to get defense that will stop it. The Christmas Tournament helped them keep in shape, sai^ Mobley, over the holidays. The Vikings played a hard game at Washington and were sufficiently worn down to throw them off in their game with Southern Wayne the next night. TTiey won it however to remain undefeated in league play. Every team we played has been tough, Rick said.

Shooting Was Off Against the Southern Wayne Saints, Rick was in double figures but half his 12 points came at the free throw line. I was kinda off, he said. I was shooting from the palm of my hand and not my fingers. Pushing it off the palm of your hand you dont have control. Your fingertips give you more control, more spin. The spin on the ball helps stabilize the ball and the shot becomes more accurate.

organized basketball having started in junior high, at A. G. Ck)X. The team this year he says, is the best. Its a little better than last year. We have more speed. Our rebounding fooled Coach (Shelly) Marsh. He didnt think we woidd do that good. The state is our goal.

We definitely have a well balanced team. I try hard to rebound. Passing is the most enjoyable part of the game. Mobley said the team fooled Coach Marsh in another aspect also, "niis year, he didnt think we would have as much depth. 1 think we have the strongest team in the conference. He unselfishly praised fellow players Calvin Hawkins, Charlie Keyes, Joey Baggett and Robert Harris and said he thinks the team can take the state crown.

He also praised Hawkins for the job Calvin has done in the last few games coming in for Ricks brother Gerry who broke an ankle. It (Gerrys injury) didnt show in the status but it

Rick Mobley

hurt. Calvin has taken up the slack.

Busy Off-Court Off the court, Mobley is vice-' president of the junior class, president of the Literary Club, a member of the Winterville Good Hope Baptist C!hurch, and a member of the choir there.

Mobley has one year of high school left but is already looking ahead. I would like to go to Maryland. Id go anywhere I could get one (a scholarship). Coach Marsh called Rick a good college prospect. He can be a very complete basketball player. He is the heart of our team. He is our best offensive threat. Sometimes his work on the boards goes unnoticed because of his offensive capabilities.

His weakness is defense because he gets a little lazy. I dont think its a lack of ability, he just gets a little lazy. Mobley said the most em-barassing thing that has happened to him is to come down court and have a wide open shot but miss the whole goal. The guys get on your back about that, he said.

But he doesnt miss the goal much; very seldom in fact, like David Thompson. He has a year to work at becoming the complete ballplayer Marsh mentioned he could be. If that happens, Rick Mobley could become even more of a sensation than he is this year.

By ALEX SACHARE AP Sports Writer We wanted to show the fans we wanted to play basketball for Michigan State. We can play spirited basketball when we play, birt not when we walk out.

Gus Ganakas, the basketball coach at Michigan State who has been at the center of a raging controversy for the past week, had plenty reason to be elated.

His team, bolstered by the return of 10 black players who had walked out before Saturdays 107-55 drubbing at the hands of Indiana, came up with a solid effort and beat Ohio State 88-84 Monday night for their first Big Ten victory of the season.

Lindsay Hairston, who led Saturdays walkout, toi^[>ed the Spartans with 26 points, Terry Furlow added 19 and Pete Davis had 12.

The victory, after two losses _in Big Ten play, apparently quelled dissension that hit the

team Saturday, when all 10 black players walked out of a meeting and were suspended.

Tonight I locked the doors of the dressing room before I announced the starting lineups; said Ganakas with a smile.

Freshman forward Jeff Tropf, the unwitting cause of the walkout when Ganakas an-noimced that he planned to start him against Indiana, received a rousing ovation from the home crowd with every effort, He wound up with six points and 11 rebounds.

After a meeting Sunday morning, the players were reinstated and Ganakas called it just a misunderstanding.

The Spartans, 7-3, jumped to a 50-36 halftime lead and held off a Buckeye comeback which closed the margin to two points late in the game.

The whole first half was one of the best performances we ever had, Ganakas said. No matter who we put out there, they blended well together.

Soviet Cigarette Shift May Bring Leaf-Buying

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.--Tuesday, January 7, lt7S7

By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - A shift by Russian smokers from long, mostly empty cigarettes to fully packed western-style cigarettes could help trigger a future demand in the Soviet Union for U.S. leaf tobacco, an Agriculture Department expert said today.

Before World War II the Soviets imported only about three million pounds of leaf tobacco a year, but consumer demand has gone up since then and in 1964 Russia imported a peak of 280 million pounds.

TTie United States, however, has not shared in the Soviet tobacco leaf market, although some American-made cigarettes have been sold.

Hugh C. Kiger, a tobacco expert in the departments Foreign Agricultural Service, said that Soviet imports dropped

after 1964 but in recent years have rebounded, including 203 , million pounds imported in 1973.

About one-half of the cigarettes produced in the Soviet Union are papirosy which consist of about 30 per cent tobacco and the remaining 70 per cent a hollow paper tube or mouthpiece.

Papirosy cigarettes supposedly originated when most men wore long beards, Kiger said in a report. The long paper mouthpiece was introduced to prevent discoloration of beards and beard fires.

In the late 1950s about 80 per cent of the, Russian cigarettes were of the hollow-tube type. This style now is favored in northern areas where the papirosy can be smoked and handled easily with gloves in cold weather.

The Horse has the reputation of being the worlds fastest player. Some of his detractors maintain that his family crest consists of flying fingers on a green baize i-background, with the motto: Play in haste, repent at leisure". Recently he spent a brief period in England and departed from those shores leaving several of his partners financially worse off for his visit.

In deference to his hosts. The Horse agreed to play the weak no trump, 12-14 points. Since North was too strong to open one no trump, he started things off by bidding one heart, then raised The Horses no trump response to two (a stretch by any stan

dards). The Horse felt that his six-card suit and intermediates justified an attempt at game.

East won the opening spade lead with the ace and returned the queen, and The Horse made the technically correct play of allowing East to win the second trick as well. Out of spades. East shifted to a low heart, and Wests jack was taken by dummys king. In rapid succession, declarer cashed the ace and king of clubs and, when West showed out, con-tit^^ed with a low club to Easts queen. This time, East shifted to a low diamond.

Suddenly, his predicament began to dawn on The Horse. He had only eight tricks and the ninth, the ace of hearts, languished in dummy with no entry. It was only fitting that he should end up one down.

While The Horse could not afford to release his remaining heart stopper before conceding a club (that would enable the opponents to defeat him by cashing heart tricks), he nevertheless overlooked a line that would have kept his communications intact. After winning the king of hearts, declarer must cash just one high club, then continue with the low club from dummy. East can win, but the contract is safe. The high club serves as an entry to dummy's winning heart, and either the king of spades or ace of diamonds is declarers entry to his own hand to cash the good clubs.

appear to be demanding cigarettes made with high-quality flue-cured and burley tobacco, the kind mostly produced in the United States and grown sparsely in the Soviet Union.

Thus, the Soviet market offers a latent potential for U.S. leaf, he said. Much depends on future trade developments between the two countries and whether most favored nation terms, as provided in the new U.S. trade bill, can be fully worked out, he said.

Meantime, the two countries have gradually enlarged contacts relating to tobacco trade, including the exchange of industry teams and other programs aimed at exploring future possibilities.

Russia has been importing U.S. cigarettes at the rate of about 100 million cigarettes annually. But most of those were purchased for distribution in Soviet tourist hotels, Kiger said.

Space Debris To Hit Earth

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Spare officials indicate that 30 per cent of more than 83,000 pounds of space debris that is expected to re-enter the atmosphere Friday could plunge onto land areas of the earth.

'They said Monday that most of the material will melt in the intense heat of re-entry as it is drawn out of orbit by the earths gravitational pull.

But as many as 50 pieces of whatever survives could fall within a 250,000-square-mile area that includes the United States, Europe, South America, Africa and the Far East, officials said.

However, they said there was a 70 per cent chance that the debris would fall into one of the worlds oceans.

There was no way to predict what the size and weight of each piece would be, officials said.

A spokesman also said there have been no recorded deaths or injuries attributed to space debris falling to earth.

Grounded Due To Inflation

LONDON (AP) - World-Wide inflation caused about a 25 per cent drop in European tourism Uiis past summer. Some resort staffs were cut 50 per cent; some resorts shut down completely.

Some of the trouble was blamed on the huge hike in airplane jet fuel costs, averaging about $50 or more per person with future hikes in the offing.

Less Expensive Sweetener

NEW YORK (AP) - In response to the spiraling price of cane sugar, several U.S. food manufacturers are turning to a less expensive sugar, which is produced from the starch content of corn and other vegetables by a three-step enzyme process.

The new enzyme-produced sugar occurs naturally in many fruits and honey and is identical in taste and quality to cane sugar, making it ideal for processors of such foods as baked goods, candy, soft drinks and ice cream.

Oil Industry Workers Trim Their Pay Demand

By ROBERT P. DALTON Associated Press Writer

DENVER (AP) - OU industry workers have reduced their wage demands as a midnight contract expiration nears.

The bargaining policy board of the Oil, Qiemical and Atomic Workers International Union agreed to cut 30 cents an hour off the wage proposal in each of the three years of the jmto-posed contract in a meeting late Monday.

Union President A. F. Gnwpi-ron said he is authorized to call a strike when the current pact expires, but Im not in a hurry on this thing. Its very easy to call a strike.

Grospiron said if a walkout is called it could be industrywide or against only a selected coin-

Wakina

kMOW WMV COMMIITER$

pany.

An industrywide strike against oil coinpanies would idle most of the nations gasoline and p^roleum product refineries. The union represents 60,000 oil workers.

The last industrywide strike was in 1969 and lasted for four months for some companies, but ended in 10 days fw one company.

Grospiron said that even if an industrywide walkout is called, current reswves of gasoline would keep the effect of the strike from being felt by consumers for at least 30 days.

The policy council reduced the wage demand from $1.50 an hour in each of the three years of a proposed contract to $1.20 an hour in each year. The un

ion is still seeking an immediate SOent an hour increase as a "catch-up" to the rising cost oi living. 1116 average hourly wage in the industry under the current contract is $5.96.

There was no immediate response fnmi the oil companies on the new union pn^Msal, vdiidi a union qxikesman said was made in the hope of avoling a strike in the ofl industry and getting negotiations moving.

Grospiron said the cmnpanies have (^ered a 6(Kcent per hour wage increase in the first year and SO cents per how in the second year of a two-year contract. He said the tmkm will not accept a contract of less than three years.

TO GET A *>11400/ SEAT-

A union spokesman said a co8t-of4iving clause sotht by the union was also a contract obstacle. The union is seeking an escalator equal to the rise in the national price index. GrospircHi said the oil companies are opposed to a cost-of-living escalator.

The companies involved in the n^otiatkms include Texaco, Gulf, Exxon, Shdl, Atlan-tic-Rkhfield, MobU, Phillips, Continental, the Standards and many small companies.

'Human Fly Is Captured

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) A Cocoa Beach man described as a human fly was arrested after officws watdied in amazement as he climbed six flows up a beachfront hotel wall and broke into several rooms, p(rfice say.

It was unb^evaUe, a police sp(Aesman said Monday. Youd have to see it to believe it.

PoUce said Bruce Wesley OU-ver, 25, was arrested early Sunday and charged with taeaking and entering. CMiver was a suspect in at least 100 similar bw-glaries, said police spokesman Darrril Alley.

Ten officers, assigned to the stakeotd after a rash of recent bwglaries, were in foxholes dug in the beach when they saw a man scaling the hotel wall. Alley said.

Hed latch on to anything he could get his fingws around, and then just pull himself up, Alley said. They watdied as he went up six stories that way, and broke into several rooms. He really could be called a human fly.

'Great Gold Auction' A Flop; Simon Praises Common Sense

By R. GREGORY NOKE8 Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) The governments great gold auction was a flop in sdling gold but it ixroved that Americans have kept their common sense, officials say.

In the U.S. Treasury gold auction, demand was less than had generally been anticipated, said a ITeasury Department statement Monday and that was an umier-

statement in itself.

Although the government was auctioning 2 million ounces of gdd, it received bids <hi only 954,800 ounces and accepted bids fw just 750,000 ounces.

In addition, it appeared that most of the gold was bou^t by foreign banks. The biggest bid was fw about 400,000 ounces from the Dresdner Bank of New York, a subsidiary of a major West German bank.

Two Swiss banks also were

Real Whodunit;

Even To Actors

By LEE MARGUUES Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) .Talk about whodunits! Not even the actors on (eneral Hospital know whos guilty.

Guilty of murder, that is. One is required to add that clarification because characters on soap operas are always guilty of something.

The crime is the recent murder of Dr. Phil Brewer, that cad of a character who had upset so many lives over the years, breaking up marriages, fathering illegitimate children, doublecrossing friends you know, the usual things that soap opera villains do. There are five charactws with ex-celloit motives and each has been filmed committing the foul deed. *

Only one version will be seen by viewers at home. Which one? Its the best kept secret ABC has ever had, says Emily McLaughlin, the actress who has played nurse Jessie Brewer since the serial debuted on ABC nearly 12 years ago.

Hie only people who know ire (Jeneral Hospital producer James Young and writers .'erome and Bridget Dobson. ,lnd they are not talking.

It would be kind of stupid if did, wouldnt it? remarked Young. Ill tell you the mechanics of it, but no more. Thats the game. If youre going to have a mystery, lets have one. Agatha (Christie doesnt give you the answer to her mysteries in the front of the book.

In most film and television mysteries, everyone connected with the production knows from the outset who the murderer is because its in the finished script. The nature of soap operas is much different, however.

There is no finished script, for one thing; theres only a script from week to week the story lines must be interesting

Looking For 3 In Theft Try

Police are looking for three men who assaulted a woman and attempted to take her purse here late yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Adell Wooten of Falkland was walking from her car to a store near the intersection of Sixth Street and Memorial Drive when she was approached by three moi, who knocked her to the ground and attempted to take her handbag, diief Glenn Cannon said.

The attempted larceny was unsuccessful, however, and the three fled vrithout the purse, the chief said.

Mrs. Wooten was treated at Pitt Memorial Hospital for minor injuries following the 5:35 p.m. incident and released.

and unpredictable enou^ to hold an audience not just for two hours but day after day, werii after werii, month after month.

So Youngs feeling was that if only one version of the murder had been filmed, word would have leaked out about the criminals identity and the dramatic impact would have been substantially reduced. Also, in all probability, the programs ratings would suffer.

Explains actor James Sik-king, whose alcoholic Dr. James Hobart is one of the suspects: If youve programmed the story for, say 90 days, and word about the ending gets out tomorrow, then your next 89 days are screwed if youre basing them on suspense.

How long Young and the Dobsons will draw mit the suspense on General Hospital remains undecided. Young says hes hoping it will play for several months including a trial before the murdetCTs idoitity must be revealed. But it all depends on how well they can maintain viewer interest.

among the major Wdders. The complete list of successftil bidders was to be made piddic today.

Exc^ for bids from a few U.S. industries and banks, most Uds from Americans were for a single 400-ounce bar of gold, the minimum amount being auctioned by the Treasury.

The minimum bid price accepted by the government was $153 an ounce, considerably below world market gold jaices, although a few bids ranged as high as $185 an ounce.

The gold sold Monday will bring the government more than $100 million in revenue.

Treasury Secretary William E. Simon expressed delight that Americans did not buy up aU the gold at sharply higher IMices.

It once again {wnves that the Amwican people are a good deal smarter than many people give them credit for, Simon

said at a news confo^ce.

Of the 219 vidid bids received by the General Stevices Administration, 100 were accepted. The successful bidders will be able to pick up their gold at the U.S. Assay Office in New York or at U.S. mints in Denver and San Francisco, after paying th. full amount of their bids.

Americans gained the right to own gold for the first time in 41 years on Dec. 31. But the small quantity of gold actually being Iwu^t has caused the {sice of gold to drop from a high of $200 an ounce to as low as $169 on the London gold market in re> cit days.

The 2 million ounces of gold offered by the Treasury represented less than 1 per cent of the total U.S. gold reserves of 278 million ounces. The unsold 1,250,000 ounces from the auction will be kept in the official reserves.

Series Of Four Accidents Here

Balloonist

Undismayed

SANTA ANA, C:alif. (AP) Publisher Malcolm Forbes says the aborted balloon launch that nearly killed him and his copilot represents merely another postponement of his California-to-Eur ope balloon expedition.

Forbes, 55, and aerospace scientist Thomas Heinsheimer, 35, n^owly escaped death Monday when gusty ground winds jerked their tiny gondola off its launch vehicle and began dragging it away.

Disaster was averted when the launchs Froich director, Jean-Pierre Pommereau, jumped aboard the craft and released the 10 helium-filled balloons from the gondola.

If he had not pulled the release lever, the capsule would have disintegrated and ' we would have been destroyed beneath it, Forbes said at a news conference.

The flight of the balloon craft Windbome had beai postponed four times ju^viously. Forbes said another attempt would be made in about six weeks, after the damaged gondola has been repaired and new balloons delivered.

'The venture has cost about $700,000 so far, Forbes said. There was no immediate estimate on the amount of damage done in the aborted launch.

There have been 12 previous attempts to cross the Atlantic by balloon. Seven lives have been lost in unsuccessful attempts.

An estimated $2,575 damage resulted from a series of four traffic collisions investigated by Greenville police yesterday.

Heaviest damage reported resulted from a 6:05 p.m. mishap at the interesection of Greenville Boulevard and Bismark St. and involved cars driven by Eva (Ilark l^rod of Williamston and Stephen Alvin Eriksen of Jacksonville, police said.

Officers, who charged Mrs. Sherod with failing to reduce her speed enmigh to avoid an ac-cidoit, estimated damage at $500 to the Sherod car and $550 to the Eriksoi vriiicle.

Both drivers involved in a 1:40 p.m. mishap at the intersection of Dickinson Avenue and Wade Street were charged, police reported.

Ral{^ C^son C!ames of 107 Lee St. was charged with failing to see his intended movement c(Hild be made in safety, while Douglas Earl Alloi of 119 Pearl Dr. was charged with improper passing.

Damage was set at $250 to the Carnes car and $375 to the All^' auto.

Larry H. Hopkins of Route 6, Greenville was charged with exceeding a safe speed following investigation of a 12:05 pm^; mishap at the intersection of Greenville Boulevard and Plaz;^ Drive.

Officers reported the Hoj^ni car coUided with an auto driven^ by Marion Festus Hunt of 103" Churchside Dr., causing an estimated $300 damage to th Hunt car and $200 damage to the Hopkins auto.

No charges were reported following investigation of a 10:06 a.m. mishap at the intersection^' of Evans and 14th Streets.

Officers identified the driveriT of the cars involved as Helen F. Weeden of 1200 B East 1^ SU and Mae Davenport Hardy of 207J Crestline Dr. _

Damage was estimated at $150 to the Weeden car and $250 to thq" Hardy vehicle.

No injuries were reported ih the series of collisions. nr

No Policewomeri Due Pay Scale

Thornsby.

WESTPORT, Wash. (AP) Confronted with having to pay policewomen the same as policemen, the mayor of this small coastal community took immediate action.

Bill Wade told the women to turn in their badges.

My God, we cant even afi ford our male officers, Wade said. If we had to pay equal salaries to the women, it would break the town.

The state Human Rights Commission told officials here they would be required to bring women officers up to salary levels of men.

So, the women are now civilian clerk-dispatchers.

Im going to fight this, said Nancy Breitsprecher, the most experienced officer, male or female, in the department. I cant just sit and take it.

Mrs. Breitsprecher, 38, is one of five women on the force. She was also the senior sergeant in the department, and the second in command until last week.

Women until then composed half the towns police force. They handled dispatching

duties, took walk-in com^ plaints and conducted many of the departments routine criityp^ investigations.

And says Mrs. Breitsprecher, I have too many years invested in this force just to sit quietly and be stripped of my commission. If economy is needed, why didnt they start with the least senior man? Why just the women?

Wade estimated equal sal* ries for the five women officers would cost Westport $1,000 more each month. And Wade said the town has trouble su(^ porting the force now.

Mrs. Breitsprecher, who has been on the force almost six years, said her salary was only $575, while the top minimum for a male patrolman was $700 a month.

Westport is a fishing resort town, whose population triples in the summer. But during tliO slack winter months, there is' one police officer for every 140 residits. And the mayor saya, I knew the town could never go for 10 full patrolman sali(-ries. Thats why I did whatI did.

Suggests Oil Lease Bids By The States

"The main thing about a college roommate is having someone you can relate to!"

PRINCETON, N.J.AP) -Gov. Brendan T. Byrne of New Jersey welcomed delegations from east coast sUtes to a conference on offshore leasing today with the suggestion the stotes consider forming a consortium to bid aginst major oil companies fw the leases.

The U.S. Department (rf the Interior has annoimced rians to lease 10 million offshore acres for oil development off the East Coast this year.

The meeting is of envinm-mental and legal officers from the East Coast stotes, with observers <m hand from California. There is to be a follow-up meeting next month of the governors of the East Coast stotes.

Byrne said the federal governments mindless oil leasing pi^y poses a dango- to toe

coastlines of all the states.

Most of the acreage under consideration is off the New Jersey coast in an area called the Baltimore Canyon.

The delegates were asked by Byrne to draft a common strategy to ensure that the states get an orderly development policy for all acreage their coast. He said that to eq*^ sure this toey should give serious thought to bidding themselves for the right to explore and drill for the oil.
