Oil Cartel Seeks Exclude Med District Dollar From Oil Trading Development
Plan Approved
By BOON LEWALD Associated Press Writer VIENNA, Austria (AP) The U.S. dollar sagged to new lows in European exchanges today as ministers of oil producing nations met to consider several proposals to exclude the dollar from oil trading.
It reached record lows in early trading in Amsterdam and Brussels, a 17-month low in
VEPCO 'Mighf
Cut Rate
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A 30 per cent hike in the price charged by Virginia Electric & Power Co. to 41 electric cooperatives and municipalities is still being negotiated and may be reduced, a Vepco spdcesman said today.
Claude Cliborne, the Vepco spokesman, said negotiations between the utility and the cooperatives have been under way for some time and that a rate hike is expected to be agreed upon within a week.
Vepcos 30 per cent rate hike to wholesale buyers of electricity became effective last Friday. However, no bills have been based on the new rate because of the negotiations.
Vepcos 30 per cent increase has not been approved by the Federal Power Commission, which regulates (xrices charged by utilities to wholesale customers.
Paris and a 1974-75 low in Frankfurt. It was only slightly above its historic floor in relation to the Swiss franc.
Several oil exporting states, concerned that their petrodollars are being lost through inflation and the decline of the dollar, want another way to price oil. Currency dealers said such a move would be a blow to the dollar and that speculation about it caused a large part of recent dollar selling.
Iranian Interior Minister Jamshid Amouzegar told newsmen before the meeting in Vienna that one possibility was tying the price of oil to special (h*awing rights SDRs of the International Monetary Fund. SDRs are based on the value of 16 major currencies.
Amouzegar said, however, he would oppose any move within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to raise oil prices.
We have already decided to freeze the prices until the end of September, and we are not going back on that promise, he said.
Other OPEC proposals include one from Kuwait to increase prices in proportion to the dollars decline in relation to the five strongest European currencies and the Japanese yen. Algeria and Iraq propose scrapping the dollar for a stronger, unspecified single currency.
The dollar opened at 2.286 marks in Frankfurt, but bounced up to 2.295 after the Bundesbank bought an estimated $20 million. Lows of 2.36 guilders and 34.135 Belgian francs were reached in early trading in Amsterdam and Brussels, down from 2.3715 guilders and 34.29 francs at Mondays close.
In Zurich, the dollar was 2.405 Swiss francs in early trading, down 2% centimes from Mondays close, despite buying by the Swiss state bank. In London, the British pound jumped IV4 cents at the start of
trading to $2.4315.
The price of gold rose 75 cents to $186.25 an ounce in Zurich and 50 cents in London to the same level at the morning fixing.
Iran is also plugging at the OPEC meeting its proposal to tie the price of oil to an inflation index based on the cost to the oil countries of the major commodities they buy from the industrial West.

RALEIGH (AP)State Insurance Commissioner John Ingram says rising unemployment means many North Carolinians may lose their life, accident and health insurance.
Ingram told a news conference Monday he ha called a meeting for next Monday of all companies writing life, accident and health insurance to discuss the impact of the economic recession on consumers life and health insurance.
We want to determine how many people in North Carolina are exposed to losing their accident and health insurance because of unemployment, Ingram stated.
He said the problem exists because many people carry in
surance on a group basis through the company for which they work.
The total unemployment rate in North Carolina for January was about 10.4 per cent, meaning about 263,000 North Carolinians were out of work.

MARK YOUR VALUABLES
I wonder what local police would advise about protecting ones home from burglars? Is the engraver still available from the Greenville Police Apartment? Is it wise to use your Social Security number as a marking, or would this make the item too hot,* causing the thief to destroy it? Mrs. M. M.
Greenville Police Chief Glenn Cannon said he recommends engraving some kind of identifying mark on all valuables and keeping a list of serial numbers of all belon^ngs which have these as very wise ways of increasing ones chances of recovering stolen items. It would 1^ wise, he said, to post a sign on all entrances to ones home stating that everything in the house is marked with a Social Security number or other identifying marks.
The Police Department does indeed loan the engraver, the will even have a police officer make an appointment with you and go to your home and mark your valuables for you. Chief Cannon said.
He also recommended the burning of a lignt when one is gone at night, and having a trusted friend to remove newspapers and other signs of your not being home when youre away on a trip. Also, its probably not wise to let persons other than trusted friends know you plan to be out of town for long p^ods.

Miller said in an interview that he, along with one of the victims, Hugh Atkinson, another well-known farmer, had been the driving forces in having the bridge over the Yadkin River built in 1938.
Miller said that afterward, he, Atkinson and others realized that the bridge~a one-lane span with a wooden floor-was inadequate.
He said the one-lane was dangerous and a nuisance.
Miller, who is in his 70s, said they had gone to the state capital in Raleigh with petitions and had hounded highway officials until engineers came up and looked the bridge over. The main resistance seemed to be that not enough traffic flow across the bridge would warrant a larger one.
Miller said that the highway officials promised to add more steel and rework the span. What little work they did on it, I wouldnt give much for it. It did little good, he said.

A development plan covering an area of some 2,(X)0 acres in the western sector of Greenville and its extraterritorial limits gained the approval of the City Council last night following a special public hearing.
Approval of the Medical District Development Plan, recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, represented the closing step in a lengthy effort to develop a zoning plan that will provide for orderly development in the critical area involving the medical neighborhood.
The dtouncil, while endorsing the overall concept of the MDD-P, did adopt several changes in the zoning plan that were not included in the package adopted and recommended by the zoning board.
A number of property owners in the proposed zoning area were on hand for the hearing and many who had appeared at previous public sessions on the plan restated their positions last night in reference to zoning desires.
Generally, the plan takes in property bounded by Memorial Drive, the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, Secondary Road 1203 and the Tar River.
Zoning in the area involves R-6 or residential designation, Commercial, Office and Institutional, Medical Arts, Health Care, and Flood Plain.
The adopted plan designates substantial acreage for R-6 usage and medical arts zoning also constitutes a sizable portion of the overall plan. Also incorporated is a newly adopted Health Care zone that basically takes in the area of the present hospital, the tract containing the new hospital now under construction, and the land involving the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center on N.C. 43. Commercial zoning is located basically in the area of Memorial Drive although an area for shopping center usage is included on the Stantonsburg Road west of the new hospital site.
The overall zoning plan is divided into three areas with Section I involving the area from N.C. 43 north to the river and running east to west from Memorial Drive to a point just: beyond the ARC. Section II, with more or less the same east-west boundaries, involves the area from N.C. 43 south to the Stantonsburg Road. Section III takes in land located south of Stantonsburg Road to the Norfolk & Southern Railroad.
In Section I, the area behind Moyewood and generally following the woodline west to the plan boundary will be zoned Flood Plain. The Moyewood section and most of the land west of the housing section will be zoned R^. A tract on N.C. 43 starting at the city limits and running north to the edge of the Moyewood housing project and then east to the J^ferson Florist property is to be zoned CDF or Downtown Commercial Fringe. Commercial property already developed at the northw^t intersection of N.C. 43 and Memorial Drive will remain commercial.
The Council also designated that a 4<X)-foot strip along N.C. 43 on the north side, running from the city limits west to a point just beyond the ARC, be zoned for O&I or Office and Institutional usage.
In Section II, a tract zoned Shopping Center running south from the comer of Sixth Street and Memorial Drive some 750 feet and west along the Peaden property line some 155 feet will remain Shopping Center. Some 400 feet of the Peaden property on Memorial Drive and Stantonsburg Road will be zoned Shopping Center and the remainder of the tract, which abuts the present hospital property, will be Medical Arts. Other Medical Arts Zoning is planned for tracts just south of the present hospital (along Stantonsburg Road) and west of the hospital (along N.C. 43). A narrow strip west of the new hospital property is presently zoned for medical usage and will remain medical under the new plan.
Also in Section II, a large tract
located west of the Medical Arts buffer between the new hospital property is designated for Office and Institutional usage. The southwest corner of the tract on Stantonsburg Road is to be zoned Shopping Center.
The remainder of property, with the exception of the ARC land, is designated for residential development west of the O&I and Health Care zones.
In Section III, the section from the corner of Memorial Drive and Stantonsburg Road running south to the railroad and west along Stantonsburg some 1,400 feet is presently developed commercially and will remain under that designation. A tract of land beginning at the city limits on the Stantonsburg Road and running west some 4,700 feet and bounded on the south by the (continued on page 14)

Really The Same
As In Times Of Saint Francis
WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) Chester Robson wanted to see how St. Francis, the gentle monk who founded the Franciscan Order in 1208, might fare in todays society.
To find out, the 19-year-dd Wenatchee Valley College freshman from East Wenatechee adopted the saints simple lifestyle.
He begged for his food, washed with melted snow, slept on a pallet at a church, walked wherever he went and read by candlelight His clothing was a brown robe tied with a sash The first day, I was down, Robson said. The way we normally live is directed toward comfort To give up comfort is hard on the body. It would be good for everybody to give up things for a while. You learn that you dont need everything. Robson said he faced a jungle of stares during the first day of his experiment last wedi.
He said a pdiiceman stopped him and asked where he was going. When Robson replied that he was headed for a church the officer said, Oh Youre le (rf those.
Robson said, If peojde dont know what youre doing, when you approach them they are kind (rf anxious. Its really the same as in Francis day. Before people knew what he was doing they were against him. They felt he was a heretic.
Robson said his desire to gain an insight into the Franciscan way of life stemmed from a course entitled Western Civilization, and meetings last fall with members of an Anglican Franciscan Society during a trip to Brisbane, Australia.
In Australia I saw people who had less and were very happy, Robson said When I returned to the U. &, I saw people who had much more and were not happy. I became very interested in why.
In his preparation, Robson read everything he could find about SL Francis, who lived from 1181 until 1226. He said there was little that differed in each account
Study Possible Revision Of 25th Amendment
^ v*<xrilrina cA Hi
By LAWRENCE L KNUTSON Associated Press Writer
WASHING'TON (AP) A Soiate panel is studying whether to recommend revision of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution which guided Gerald R. Ford to the White House and Nelson A Rockefeller to the vice presidency.
A variety of plans are being offered to amend the presidential succession process. But Sea Birch Bayh, D-Ind, author of the 25th Amendment, says it has proved itself and should be kept intact
Bayh's constitutional amendments sub
committee is opening hearings on the question today. The hearings are designed to weigh the worth of the amendment following its first applications. Any changes to the amendment would have to be approved by two-thirds of the House and Senate and ratified by three-fourths of the states.
Ford was the first vice president and the first president to gain those offices through the amendment RockefeUer was the second vice president to win the office through the amendment
Ford has criticized the amendments ap
plication in Rockefdlers case, saying it took too long to work and urged thatit be changed to set a time limit on the process.
One witness. Sea William D. Hathaway. D-Maine, said in a prepared statement today that the amendment should be changed to provide a special national election in the event that both the elected president and the elected vice president leave office.
That was the situation that prevailed after the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew.
Hathaway said that if bis apfaxMch is adopted.
1
the highest ranking officer of the House of Representatives of the same par^ as the outgoing incident should serve as acting president until such an election is held.
That officer either the speaker of the House or the minority leader would become president in his own right if ti outgoing presideids term had less than three years to run, Hathaway said
Bayh contended that the Mth Amendment easedthe removal of a president who had totally lost the respect and tiw cmfmm el t&g American people.

4 inC ma^oaaij varaaaaj a.*f, HPenn Central Sinks Ever Deeper Into Bankruptcy
By LEE LINDER Associated Press Writer
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -What a mess were in, says a spokesman for the Penn Central railroad, the biggest corporate bankrupt in American history.
Every month since it went into bankruptcy court in mid-1970, in a continuing futile effort to reorganize, the nations largest transportation system has operated in the red.
Its debt, now $2.5 billion, grows daily by nearly half a million dollars. And every year its trains keep running only with generous infusions of government cash.
Those federal grants and loans already total $194 million, including $15.3 million provided Monday in an emergency transaction-arranged by the U.S. Department of Transportation so the railroad could meet its payroll.
Penn Central says it needs $322 million more to continue operating for another 12 months. Thats when it is to be merged with six other bankrupt railroads into a single, semipublic system stretching from Chicago to Boston.
Were in plenty, plenty trouble, the spokesman said. But ail the bankrupt railroads are in the same fix. Were worse off because were bigger.
The other financially troubled roads in the Northeastem-Mid-western corridor are Erie Lackawanna, Central of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley, Lehigh & Hudson River, Boston & Maine, and the Reading. Together, they run over 10,000 miles of track, a fourth the size of Penn Central.
Not all agree with the Penn Central spokesman on their viability.
Our cash is pretty good now, said Gloria Stone of the Boston & Maine. Weve just paid back some old loans we took from the U.S. Were fighting to remain independent of Conrail and were fighting to keep (Mir heads above water.
Reading, its last profitable year in 1966, has been in the black the past four months and trying to improve even more.
The Penn Central blames its current critical position on last years coal strike, the terrific drop in auto traffic and the recession.
It hit us like a thunderclap
School Bd. Told To Pay
CHARLOTTE (AP) The Charlotte-Mecklenburg board of education has been ordered to pay more than $204,0(X) to the attorney who brought a school desegregation suit against the board six years ago.
Mondays order, issued by U.S. District Judge James B. McMillan, means the legal battle over desegregation in the schools ha.cost local taxpayers more than $400,000.
McMillan estimated that public funds had provided well over $200,000 for the unsuccessful defense of the case by the school boards attorneys.
Last year, the high court ruled that defendants in school desegregation suits must pay reasonable legal expenses for the plaintiffs if the plaintiffs win.
The plaintiffs were represented by lawyer Julius Chambers.
In February 1970, McMillan ordered the board to implement a desegregation suit which required massive crosstown busing. The boards appeal reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the justices ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The justices held that busing was a legimitate tool for achieving desegregation.
William E. Poe, school board chairman, said he was not surprised by the decision and did not expect the board to appeal.
Fourth Precinct Meeting Slated

last November, and keeps getting worse, the spokesman said, noting the just announced December loss skyrocketed to $41 million, or 58 per cent higher than a year ago.
The U.S. Railway Association, formed by Congress to revamp the struggling lines into Consolidated Railway SystemConrail, is scheduled to unveil its preliminary plan Wednesday in Washington. A final draft probably will reach Congress by August.
Meantime, Penn Central has to keep rolling along, if it can, qn deteriorating tracks and over crumbling roadbed which has resulted in thousands of derailments since 1969.
To make all the necessary repairs would take an estimated $1 billion, maybe more, which Penn Central doesnt have and cant borrow.
Earlier this month the railroad threatened to cease operations at the end of February because it couldnt meet its payroll and sought help from Ck>ngress. The House came up with an emergency $125 million appropriation an<l the Senate was expected to pass a similar bill.
Halting the Penn Central would have a violent effect on the economy because the railroad serves nearly every major industrial planl in the Northeast.
When the Pennsylvania and the New York Central joined in 1968 it was the biggest business merger ever put together in the United States.
The $6.5-billion system created the biggest privately owned transportation system in the world with 40,000 miles of track, 4,200 locomotives, 4,950 passenger cars, 195,000 freight
cars and 105,000 employes since trimmed to 78,000.
Efforts to slim it down, by abandoning losing routes, failed. Affected states and local communities fought cutbacks even in areas where trains wo-e used sparsely.
Penn Central officials partly blame this'for the unending red ink in the railroads annual statements: $91.6 million in
1969, $425.7 million in 70, $560 million in 71, $222.8 million in 72, $172.6 million in 73 and $198 million last year.
And the price the taxpayers have been paying to keep this vital transportation system going also is the biggest government subsidy to a private company in the nations history.
In Conrail, Penn Central lines are expected to be sharply trimmed, with most duplicated and money-losing branches eliminated.
Area Moose To Greet Their Sup. Governor
Greenville Moose lodge members were reminded last night there would be no accustomed meeting next Monday ; instead, plans were laid to send a large delegation to Goldsboro to welcome Supreme Governor Armond Chiappori, who is touring North Carolina and will be at the Goldsboro Moose lodge that evening.

Simonowich, Roy Thompson, D.C. Schlienz, Tom Broaddrick, and Tom Jamieson.
Pasl-Governor James Harris, captain of the Enoca Legion degree team, reported the Greenville members acquitted themselves with distinction at the International Degree Competition held in Richmond over (he weekend. He was im
pressed, he said, by the extremely close scoring among the '27 teams representing jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. Those participating from Greenville in addition to Harris were Jasper Anderson, Tom Jamieson, Loyd Wilson, Jerry McLawhorn and John Simonowich. All came away with near-perfect scores, said Harris. The final critiques have not yet been received.
Workmen Try Curb Oil Spill
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) -Workers hampered by high waves are trying to contain an oil spill which has spread along three miles of Lake Michigan beach.
Coast Guard Lt. (j.g.) Dan Shotwell said an estimated 10,-000 gallons of oil leaked from a barge that went aground on a breakwater early Monday. Other estimates ranged as low as 3,000 gallons.
A special oil-collecting team was flown here from Elizabeth City, N.C., to supervise the clean-up efforts. Booms and a straw-like material were being used to contain the spill, and tank trucks on the beach were siphoning floating oil.
Winds accompanying a 10-inch snowfall helped keep the oil behind the breakwater, but waves up to eight feet kept workers from boarding the barge.
Houston is the third largest port in the United States in terms of tonnage handled, behind New York and New Ch*leans.

Mixup Over Astaire Exuberant Over
His Award Nomination
A Coast Guard official said that within about three days, the oil will either be vacuumed up or blown out to sea.
The state Natural Resources Department used boat sirens and small cannon-like noisema-kers to frighten ducks and other waterfowl away from the oil. Officials said it appeared there would be no permanent environmental damage to the beach area.
The 260-foot barge carried an estimated 672,000 gallons of No. 5 boiler fuel oil when it broke away from a tugboat Sunday during stormy weather. The oil began leaking through deck fittings as waves buffeted it against the stone breakwater.
Oil still in the barge is to be pumped to another barge ordered north from Chicago.

Robert Michael Lucas of Route 1, Erwin was injured in a 12:01 a.m. collision today on Fourth Street, 48 feet East of the Maple Street intersection.
Police reported the Lucas car collided with a sign and tree, causing an estimated $1,000 damage to the vehicle and an estimated $25 damage to the sign and $25 damage to the tree.
Officers, who said Lucas was taken to Pitt Memorial Hospital,! where he was admitted for treatment, charged the driver with failing to redu9e his speed when approaching and going around a curve.
WASHINGTON, N.C. (AP) Joanne Little, a young black woman accused of murdering a white jailer, remains in custody today because of a mixup in her $100,000 bond.
Bessie Cherry, clerk of court in Beaufort County, said a certificate of deposit for the bond had been returned to the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., because it lacked a corporate seal.
Joe Levin, counsel for the center, said another certificate marked with the corporate seal had been mailed to the clerks office. The center agreed to post the bond, which was set Sept. 30.
On Monday, Judge Elbert Peel Jr., set bond for Miss Little on a breaking and entering charge at $15,000.
Last August, Miss Little was awaiting appeal on the breaking and entering conviction when she escaped from the Beaufort County Jail.
Jailer Clarence Alligood, 62, was found stabbed to death in her cell. Miss Little claimed he tried to rape her.
She surrendered to state authorities in Raleigh eight days later and has been held in the Womens Corrections Center there pending the murder trial, which is set for April 15.
The center has been conducting a nationwide campaign to raise money for her bond and defense.

Opportunities In Nursing Expanding
By MARY CAMPBELL AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) Womens lib may have turned some girls away from entering such a traditional womans career as nursing, but Dean Loretta Ford of the University of Rochesters School of Nursing says that womens lib has helped the nursing profession also.
Womens lib has expanded the opportunities in nursing. In the last 10 years weve had a couple of developments that have been noteworthy the practitioner movement and masters degree specialists.
The practitioner nurses work, for instance, in outpatient clinics. They do a very uood job assessing the actual or potential health needs of |)eople. They do a head-to-toe examination of the person, identifying with that person his health problems. They help him manage his daily living patterns. If he needs medical resources, they may consult on it.
A nurse might manage most of the health care problems of a chronically ill person, for instance, following his diagnosis. He needs to maintain as much health as he has.
If he is diabetic, has high blood pressure or arthritis, a lot of his problems are related lo how he lives every day. A nurse can generate ideas for that person and help him adapt. She can provide for a plan of care that will maintain his level of health.
This becomes an effective health dimension and also an economic one. If he doesnt use his resources well, he ends up in a hospital.
One of the problems today IS that people dont take care of their health. They give the care of it over to somebody else. Dean Ford continues, Another exciting area that womens lib has helped us along with is that of nurses developing specialties at the graduate level. They then work with childrens hospitals, children in family settings, adult care, etc.
This takes five forms.
A nurse gives expert, direct care to people in the area of her specialty for instance cardio vascular nursing.
She teaches patients and their families about their particular disease and about how they may live most healthfully every day.
She teaches nurses staff or students.
She offers consultation to agencies and individuals in her major area of interest.
She conducts research or studies related to nursing prob
lems.
A person who is thinking about becoming a nurse, Dean Ford says, during a telephone interview, should ask whether he or she has a scientific and a compassionate bent. I frankly want both in our students. You have to be able in the biological and physical sciences as well as ready to serve people. I want our students to be scholars.
I look for curiosity. If youre interested in improving nursing care, you need to be curious about why things are done and how they could be done better.
And I want them to be careerists. We invest a great deal in teaching people in nursing schools and then, after a couple of years, people drop out. I think thats changing, though. I want someone who can arrange his or her personal and professional life so he or she can hang in there and grow and learn.
Before Dean Ford went to Rochester in 1972, she worked and taught in the pediatric practitioner program at the University of Colorado in Denver. She has written a number of articles and presented many papers about various aspects of nursing.
She is married to a teacher of children with learning disabilities and their 22-year-old daughter is an art student.
She says, A lot of nurses went in to nurse patients. Then they became managers. 'They had to. They graduated from nursing patients to a desk ordering supplies, doing paperwork, seeing that meal trays were delivered.
Here in Rochester were really nursing the patients. Were putting our best-qualified nurses close to the patients and bringing in other people lo do nonnursing functions.
We lodi on the nurse as concerned about the person in health and illness in preventing illness, taking care of patients and as interested in recuperation as in giving the ill person care.
Another plus from womens lib. Dean Ford says, is what it has done for men. Men have wanted to be nurses and some havent because it wasnt socially acceptable. Now it has become okay in society for men lo apply to nursing schools and be nurses. Of course we encourage this. Were interested in the kind of person who wants to be a good nurse.
Womens lib has liberated everybody to do his thing and to be pretty vocal about it.

DEAR ABBY: My problem is most unusual. My in-laws love me too much! They are constantly telling me how much they prefer me to Kate, my husbands first wife.
My husband rarely mentions Kate, but ft-om what little he has said about her, I know that she was very difficult to get along with. I suspect she had some serious emotional problems that she couldnt deal with. I am not defending her, but I dont like the way my in-laws preface every story with: I know you dont like to hear about Kate, but. . . ., and then go ahead and talk about her until I want to scream.
Ive spoken to my husband about this and he says its just their way of telling me how much they appreciate having me in the family.
Have you any ideas on how to solve this?
TOO MUCH LOVE
DEAR TOO MUCH: Yes. The next time someone says: I know you dont like to hear about Kate. . Jump in with: You do? 'Then, please dont tell me about her, and by the way, do you think the rain wUl hurt the rhubaiii? (Repeat this every time they mention Kate, and soon your problem will be solved.)
DEAR ABBY: Why is it that when a man is caught exposing himself in public, he is charged with indecent exposure, locked up, and they call him an exhibitionist? Then in his defense, they say that exhibitionism is an illness, characterized by an uncontrollable urge to expose oneself, and that the man who does it needs treatment, not punishment.
But when a woman exhibits her body in topless (and bottomless) bars, or dances practically naked on the stage, every man in the place gawks, gets his eyes full, and says: Isnt that sexy?
Lets be fair, Abby. Isnt her exhibitionism an illness, too? And shouldnt she be treated for a compulsion to expose herself in public? ONE MANS VIEW
DEAR VIEW: Not necessarily. Exhibitionism in the medical-legal sense applies only to males who display their genitals in public. (Such men are usuaUy impotent and insecure in their masculinity and behave in this manner in order to compensate for it.) Women who work in topless bars and dance practically naked on the stage do so because they are proud of their bodies and enjoy the applauseand the money.
DEAR ABBY: When I come home after work, I dont expect an elaborate meal, but I do expect to eat. The other evening, my wife put two hot dogs and some potato chips on a plate. That was all. She called it dinner. This has happened before and I told her that this was not my idea of a meal. Is it yours? UNDERFED IN CONN.
DEAR UNDERFED: No. Tell her again. But next time, be more specific. Tell her what your idea of a meal IS.
Everyone has a problem. Whats yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., CaHf. 90069. Enclose stamfwd, 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 (20t) envelope.

I used to feel so guilty lying to my dentist. It was always his first question after he had hooked a hanger over my lower teeth to absorb my saliva, jammed an x-ray between my teeth and wedged his two hands in my jaws. You are brushing after every meal, arent you? he asked.
Trying to register shock in my eyes and indignation in my body,
I writhed and grunted, Ahhhh. Later, when I only had a pound and a half of cotton and a cup of water in my mouth he would ask again. Youre sure youre brushing REGULARLY after every meal?
'This time I would cross my eyes, wiggle my tongue and when I was sure I had his attention groan (with feeling) Ahhhhh.
Actually, the only time I carried a toothbrush was when I knew I was going to the dentist and didnt want him to suspect that I used my teeth to chew food.
I only knew of one kid in school who used to brush after every meal. She was a neat girl who wore braces. Before she brushed, wed ask, Whats the menu today? and shed smile.
It saved cafeteria.
I dont know what other revelations the 70s will hold for us. I wouldnt be surprised if someone invented a decaffeinated coffee . . . discovered lettuce was fattemng ... or revealed aspirin didnt race to our bloodstream, it dawdled on the scenic route.

End Of A Sordid Era In Sight
The sentencing of four of the tqp men among President Nixons former advisors last week seems to be bringing to an end a sordid era in United States politics.
Judge John J. Sirica sentenced John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman to to 8 year sentences. Robert C. Mardian was sentenced to 10 months to three years.
Of course, the matter is not over for these four men. There will be years of appeals and then, barring a reversal or new trial, iey will be faced with serving the sentences.
No doubt each of these men has some reason in his own mind for his individual part in the Watergate coverup. Perhaps it was a feeling that the country would best be protected if the facts of the case did not come out. Perhaps it was a loyalty to Richard Nixon, the resigned president, who has since been pardoned for any part he played in the coverup.
Nevertheless the nation went through what was probably its most rending internal government strife because of Watergate and the resulting coverup. Our very form of government could have been permanently altered by the aftermath of
THIS AFTERNOON
Watergate, and it is only because of its great built-in strengths that government continued to function at all.
We have no particular bitterness towards the men who were involved in Watergate. We hq>e that all that is left of this unfortunate experience is for future leaders to understnad that citizens wont tolerate such activities. If this lesson is learned, then we will have come out of the Watergate era a much stronger nation.

Bathrooms Key To Value
By BILL NOBLITT RALEIGH - In North ('arolina it may well be that the number of bathroom fixtures in a home is a key factor in determining the value of that property.
In Arizona the size of the swimming pool is a major consideration in appraising property for tax purposes.
Of course North Carolinians dont swelter in desert-like surroundings, so swimming pools are no so common as in Arizona.
Still, a study of local systems of putting a value on property for tax purposes shows that there are certain key things in a house which help determine how much that house is worth.
And in this state, bathroom fixturesnot the actual number of bathrooms, but the number of fixturesis a significant factor. The reason is obvious: the larger and more expensive the house, the more the frills such as two-sink dressing rooms, or that handy little guest washroom near the family room.
As Equation Of course bathroom fixtures alone would not determine the true worth of a house, but when from 12 to 15 such elements are linked with
variable factors into an equation, fed into a computer, flavored with updated market data based on recent real estate transactions, and pulled back out easily and quickly, the result is a method of constantly updating the appraised value of property for city and county tax purposes.
The result of such an undertaking in every county in North Carolina would be a system for upgrading property values every year, everywhere and at a cost of about nine cents per parcel rather than the current average cost of $7 to $9 per parcel.
That cost, and the time required in on-site inspection by a tax appraiser are key reasons revaluation takes place only every eight years in North Carolina counties.
And waiting eight years between re-appraisals produces such worrisome problems for property owners and local governments alike: values change sharply up or down and arent reflected for years; the local governments lose the prospects of increased income; property owners are shocked at the big jump in taxes when revaluation finally does take place;
taxpayers complain that the system isnt fair, affecting all equally; and in many cases where a town sprawls across county lines into two jurisdictions, neighbors find themselves paying widely different taxes.
State Rep. James E. Long of Burlington who chaired a joint legislative committee studying the tax structures of local governments thinks the most important proposal emerging from his work is the idea of a statewide computerized network allowing the storage of the variables which make up the value of property, and the annual upgrading of that property.
Wide Study
Computer experts, of course, recognize the truth of the statement: Garbage in. Garbage out as far as computers are concerned, so systems already operating in Arizona, Ohio and several other states were studied to produce the proposal for North Carolina.
Then, a trial run was made in Wake County, feeding the formulas into a computer and testing the results against actual sais.HQ property over a year.
The results. Long said, were tax appraisal figures
which more realistically, and more equitably predict the true selling value of a houseresults more realistic than the manual appraisals done every eight years.
The things which are used to determine the value of a houseand given varying weights in the equationare square footage, kind of construction, neighborhood, fireplaces, dishwasher, garage, air conditioning, etc.
The computer can then mull over, in a few seconds, those disparate qualities, take into consideration recent real estate market conditions in a given area, and spit out an updated appraisal.
When operational, the computer would even be able to consider such things as zoning changes affecting prices upward or downward, sales to family members far velow market value, or panic sales by people transferred out of town or bankrupted.
Long is sending a report from his committee to the boards of county commissioners and tax supervisors across the state, and will propose in the General Assembly a pilot project in five or six coupties leading to a statewide computer system for annual revaluation.
The INSIDE REPORT
A Ford-AAust-Go Meeting
By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERTNOVAK WASHINGTON - The increasing possibility that Ronald Reagan, vigorously backed by conservatives, will challenge President Ford for the 1976 Republican presidential nomination was inadvertently enhanced by the unfortunate timing of two White House decisions.
Within days of last
weekends conservative conference at Washingtons Mayflower hotel, the White House let it be known;
First, that two close aides of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, James Cannon and Richard Dunham, would l)ecome top staffers of the Domestic Council in the White House in effect a
cession by Mr. Ford of that territory to his Vice President.
Second, that Carla A. Hills, now Assistant Attorney General for civil rights, would be nominated as .Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
These two events, seemingly unrelated to 1976 presidential politics, helped harden the consensus of the conservative conference: with Mr. Ford beyond redemption in their view, influential conservatives are now thinking less of forming a new party and more of seeking the Republican nomination with an increasingly available Reagan even if the incumbent President seeks a full term.

Appointing the Rockefeller aides gave the conservatives more evidence to justify their Ford-must-go theme. Since Rockefeller is indelibly, if irrationally, the devil incarnate to the Republican right, handing domestic policymaking to the Vice Presdient puts the President in league with evil. The corridors at the Mayflower were buzzing over this outrage.
The nomination of Mrs. Hills, in contrast, went virtually unnoticed by the conservative meeting. But Reagan noticed. He views Mrs. Hills, a Los Angeles lawyer, as a liberal Republican. While still serving as governor of California last year, he quietly protested then President Nixons nomination of her to the Justice Department. As an ex-governor today, he was not pleased that Mr. Ford failed to consult him on naming her to the cabinet.
According to Reagans inner circle, the appointment of Mrs. Hills further ac
celerated his interest, which has been rising since he left office six weeks ago, in seeking the presidential nomination against Mr. Ford, if necessary.
The catalyst moving both the conservatives and
Reagan toward a point of noreturn is Mr. Fords $52 billion budget deficit. Thus, the nominations of Mrs. Hills and the Rockefeller aides
merely confirmed and
solidified a trend.
The mood of the
Republican right was typified at the conference by the frigid reception given Clarke Reed, the veteran and tenaciously conservative Republican state chairman of Mississippi, on his twopronged mission: to stop third-party talk and stir up support for President Ford.
Actually, about two-thirds of the 500 conservatives at the conference favored forming a new conservative party. But the remaining one-third, opposing it, had the power. Reed was supported by Sen. James Buckley of New York, (Cmitinued on page 5)

Enforce The Limits
(Raleigh Times)
The State Highway Patrol, innovating a policy of warning drivers of speed check zones ahead, is taking scrnie (rf the sui> prise out of speeding citations. Its to be hoped the patrol is not taking the teeth out of speed law enforcement The patrol says it is abandoning the speed traps, apparently replacing them with the 30-by-30inch metal signs reading Speed Check Zone which will give heavy-footed motorists plenty of warning and time to ease up on their speed. According to Patrol Capt D. R. Emory, 85 per cent (rf the motorists will adhere to the warning and watch their speed.
The purpose of the new approach is to reduce accidents and save lives. That is a commendable goal. Use <rf the warnings during peak traffic hours and along traditionally dangerous stretches of highway should prove very effective.
The public, however, needs the patrols reassurance that it will not relent in its regular campaign to pull over the deliberate and dangerous speeders who are inclined to slow down only along the stretch of highway that is posted with warning signs but who hit the gas again in the nomans land beywid.
It is regrettable but true that many drivers pay no attention to posted speed limits unless the fear of the traffic ticket, the ensuing fine and points rides with them while they are behind the wheel of a car.
Thanks to a concerned public and a conscientious patrol, highway traffic accidents were down 5,730 last year over the previous year. Patrol traffic arrests were up 30,414. Both played important roles in saving lives and, as a lesser but still significant benefit, in saving gas.
The public is entitled to all the protection it can get against callous, reckless (^rators of automobiles. The patrols progressive attitude is commendable but while the trooper is posting these warning signs, he should still keep his citation pad handy.

To the editor:
Last spring the Reflector carried a story about a beautiful woodland area about seven miles south of town on Evans Street Extension. At this season it is a glory of jonquils and daffodils, and the author of the article suggested it as a fine destination for a bicycle ride.
We remembered the story this week, biked out there Sunday, and would like to report that it was even more beautiful than last year.
I would like to express the appreciation of all three of us to the people who nurture this beauty spot and to renew the suggestion that for the next few days its probably the best ride in the county.

An Anti-American Sea?
Argued
By WILLIAM L. CHAZE Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department has urged the Supreme Court to disregard the claim of 12 Atlantic Coast .><tates that pre-Revolutionary charters make them the owners of offshore oil and gas reserves.
The charters were cited by the states Monday as the court heard arguments on a federal suit to affirm its ownership of offshore areas. Additional arguments were scheduled today.
A 1953 federal law gives the states title only to the first three miles of adjoining seabed and empowers the federal government to lease mineral rights beyond that point.
But lawyers for the states told the court that colonial charters gave the states domain over up to 100 miles of seabed, including areas the administration plans to lease for oil and gas exploration.
Geologists estimate the Middle Atlantic area off the U.S. coast has oil reserves of up to 20 billion barrels.
Brice M. Clagett, representing the states, said some of the charters specifically made the colonies owners of all adjoining seas and certain islands. Other colonies assumed similar ownership under English law that prevailed at the time, he said.
Solicitor Gen. Robert H. Bork, arguing for the government, countered that England could not have given its colonies domain over the adjoining sea because England never claimed it for itself.
Tliat claim is a figment of historical imagination, said Bork. He said that regardless of the charters, England did not intend to convey ownership because throughout most of its history it has not claimed ownership of its own surrounding seas.
Bork said that even if the ownership had existed, it would have evaporated when Congress adopted the three-mile rule.
The Ford administration has asked the court to rule quickly' in the case, because the suit is blocking its leasing plans.

A Business Executive's Needs
By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The economy is depressed, the companys prtrfits are down and the chief executive officer resigns for personal reasons. Should you believe the reason as stated?
It might be true, but chances are it isnt, says a professor who has spent hundreds of hours counseling some (rf the top men in American industry as well as examining by computer the routes to executive success.
You might believe the resignation resulted from the lower profits, but that explanation also might be wrong, says Eugene Jennings, management professor at Michigan State University.
Of four chief executives who rtight use the personal
reason excuse, the chances are that the lowered profits might not play a critical role at all. And only one of the four men will in fact be involved in a personal life crisis.
The most likely reasons, Jennings concludes, is that the chief executive mismanaged his board of directors or lost ccmfidence in them. Either situation makes his task almost impossible.
Without support of the board, Jennings states, an executive today is almost helpless. He can survive mismanagement of the company, low profits and other negative symptoms, but he cannot mishandle his board.
In fact, he proclaims, the critical task of any diief executive today is to practice art of avoiding blame. That is, convince the
board to look elsewhere for the cause of poor performance
Negotiating immunity from attribution of blame, as Jennings phrases it, takes considerable skill and time. It cannot be done overnight; if a chief hasn't cultivated his board before the crisis develops, he hasnt a chance.
On the other hand, if he has done his groundwork, a chief can be fairly confident of riding out a storm. Time after time, Jennings states, chief executives get into profit crises and remain immune from blame.
Most executives are fired simply because their power base is eroded, he states. But if a chief cultivates the board, be has developed the art of avoiding blame It isnt easy, Jenmngs says,
it separates the men from the boys.
Just 10 years ago many chief executives still adhered to the policy that the less the board knew the better off was the chief executive. He could go about his business unencumbered by questioning and suggestions..
Todays board member knows he has assumed a responsible role, one that could even involve him in legal challenges or charges of mismanagement Generally, he is far better informed. He takes his job seriously.
And for the chief executive officer, that means the board member must be cultivated. Corporate losses are only ephemeral earmarks of executive failure, says Jennings. The ultimate failure is mismanagemrat .of the board. ^

Coot Kill Work Is Not Finished
After an early morning delay out over the weekend, caused by high winds, the last A crop-dusting airplane from the bays waters by wild-flock of some 1,000 coots was sprayed the birds with the de- life workers in nine boats, who eliminated Monday in the same tergent Tergitol, which stunned gassed the coots and inway the rest had been wiped hem. cinerated the bodies.

Event Held
The trend of events In Portugal cannot be ignored. I was last in Lisbon in November, and it was apparent then, even to this inexpert eye, that the Communists were moimting massive effort. The other parties, drunk on the heady wine of political freedom, were flapping their newfound wings. The communists, cold sober, were moving with disciplined skill.
The picture has grown steadily more ominous. Under the shrewd leadership of Alvaro Cunhal, the Communists have tightened their hold on Portuguese labor unions. On January 12, several hundred thousand workers, bearing Communist banners, staged a massive rally for unicidade. Two days later, the governing military council yielded without a struggle: For all practical purposes, despite some subsequent minor concessions, the Communists have won a single central trade union. On January 25, in Oporto, the Communists again showed their strength; They broke up a congress at the Falacia de Cristal of the Social Democratic Center. The army looked the other way.
Portugal is small, but it is strategically mighty. If the Communists succeed, it will be only a matter of time before NATO loses its western garrison and the U.S. is denied its base in the Azores. Already the Portuguese press, dominated by Communist unions, is seeking to inflame anti-American opinion. The April elections (assuming they coni^ off as scheduled) may not indicate Communist power at the polls, but the power is there, richly financed, cunningly wielded.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP)Its too early to tell yet whether the mass extermination of some 5,600 diseased coots in Back Bay su-ceeded in preventing the spread of deadly avian cholera to other flocks, a wildlife official said Monday.
We are far from through, oven though weve successfully eradicated all of the diseased birds, said Bill Whalen, spokesman for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We wont know for several days if weve stopped the epidemic.
Whalen said that a massive search for the bodies of the fallen birds could continue all week in the bay on Virginias Eastern Shore.
Three months ago, Spain, one found many
indications of Communist activity. Here, too, the unrest grows. At 82, General Franco is a sick and fading power. Communist infiltration of the trade unions is widely reported. Our air and naval base agreements with Spain expire in September. How will they be renewed? Will they be renewed at all?
Italys economic despair adds to the gathering gloom. With inflation raging at 25 percent and the civil service more chaotic than ever, Italy heads for elections in late spring with the certain prospect of Communist gains. If one looks toward the southeast, one sees little but the Ionian, the Aegean, and the Anti-American Seas. But cutting off aid to Turkey, a blundering Congress has managed to alienate the Turks without winning the Greeks. A Cyprus solution has been made more dificult. From Gibralter to the Dardanelles, and back around from Syria to Morocco, Secretary Kissinger finds nothing but trouble.
Perhaps these are among (he conditions that prompted Kissingers recent appeal for bipartisan support and understanding on Capitol Hill. If ever wise heads were needed in foreign affairs, wise heads are needed now.

Reps. Philip Crane of Illinois and Robert Bauman of Maryland and Reagan himself in his Saturday night address.
But Reed was all alone when he urged conservativl to say something good about Mr. Ford. There are stony silence when Reed begged them to back the President in fighting a liberal Democratic Congress and particularly to praise his efforts for strong national defense.
Reed, accustomed to leading the partys conservatives, was ill-prepared for his reception last weekend. In the lobby of the Mayflower, a Florida woman who has been a longtime conservative activist asked Reed: When the conference ended, Reed commented sadly: Now I know why Whittaker Chambers wouldnt call himself a conservative.
Although many conservatives attending the conference were cause-oriented zealots (anti-equal rights amendment, antiabortion, etc.) on the right fringe, the meeting cannot be dismissed as a convention of crazies. Besides several members of Congress, the conference was attended by Republican party officers from California, Texas, Washington state, Maine and _ , perhaps other states.
In fact, despite disastrous performances by conservative candidates in the 1974 election, the right has been quietly gaining since then in taking control of the party machinery. Most recent was the coup two weeks ago at the California Republican state convention by right-wing insurgents who defeated the slate, conservative itself, selected by the Republican establishment.
President Ford has no easy response to this phenomenon.
He obviously has no intention of reversing careful decisions, such as the nomination of Mrs. Hills and the Rockefeller aides, which probably would not appease the right anyway. All he can do is hope against hope that the economy is revised more quickly than forecasters believe, putting him in the normal invulnerable position within his party of past incumbent Presidents. Otherwise, if he really intends to run, the Republican party may be in for its worst internal struggle since 1912, with the consequences incomparably worse.
Weve got to go into every mrsh, every blind, and get the carcasses to destroy them, he said. We have to make sure the bacteria is completely removed from the area.
Avian cholera was identified among coots in the Back Bay area about V^k weeks ago, and since then an estimated 24,000 coots have died from the disease and the extermination program.
Officials said the sick birds were wiped out to prevent the spread of the disease to as many as a million northward-migrating waterfowl in the coming weeks.
Whalen said motorboats and explosive devices will be used in the next few days to keep migrating birds out of some 20 square miles of the area until it can be determined that the disease has been wiped out.
Well send out entinel birds in a few days to see how they fare, he said. If they dont contract the disease, well know weve conquered it.

Committee Has A Special Role
By SAM D. BUNDY The most direct way to meet the challenges posed by professional criminals, organized crime, and a soaring crime rate is to create means to make our law enforcement officers more effective.
Citizens expect professionalism in their law enforcement officers. Professionalism comes through training and experience.
A new House committee has been established to promote it.
House Speaker James C. Green said in his charge to the Select Committee on Professional Law Enforcement Personnel and Practice, An attitude of dont get involved is the death blow to a democratic society and particularly to a fair enforcement of law.
Successful enforcement of the criminal law requires cooperation of citizens. They are more inclined to cooperate when they feel officers are competent and possess professional skills required for an effective job.
If we are to win the continuing battle against crime, we must have superior men, training and equipment.
The Select Committee on Professional Law Enforcement Personnel and Practices is one
Re-Elected To Academy
John M. Gambill, M. D., clinical director of the Walter B. Jones Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center here has been re-elected to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Re-election to the AAFP is every three years and is based on the physicians completion of a minimum of 150 hours of approved postgraduate medical study during the three years. This is the only organization in medicine that requires continuing education in order to retain active membership.
Dr. Gambill, clinical director of WBJ-ARC since April, 1969 has been assistant superintendent of Broughton Hospital in Morganton and a private f^ysician in Snow Hill. He is also an assistant clinical professor of family practice on the faculty of the E^st Carolina University School of Medicine. Two recently published papers by him are Depression in the Alcoholic Population and Detoxification and Management of the Acute Alcoholic.

Sees Chastening Effects From Moral Crisis
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) Economic woes and the moral crisis of Watergate have turned Americans away from materialism and toward religion, an evangelist with the Billy Graham crusade says.
America is in a sense a chastened nation, said Dr. Leighton Ford, who alternates with Graham on the Hour of Decision radio show.
If this chastening turns us to the Lord, it will be a good thing; otherwise it will lead to morbid escapism and more depression.
Ford, in Atlanta for a four-day crusade, said Watergate has taken the blinders off and made us realize there is such a thing as evil.
America is suffering from a kind of national depression because we dont know how to confess our sins, he said.

and housebreakers.
The French capital has been catching up with New York in the construction of skyscrapers, snack bars and TV dinners.
Now its crime.
Apartment burglaries, pick-|)Ockets and subway muggings have increased sharply in the 1970s.
The crime rise, particularly in subways, has shattered the cherished belief of rapturous foreigners and proud Parisiena that Paris is a city where you can live safely in any neighborhood, walk safely day or night.
Its not New York yet, and happily so. but one knows well (hat in most fields France is always several years behind (he United States, the newspaper rAurore said. Why not in (he field of crime?
The climate here no longer is the same. In the subway at night honest people are no longer very relaxed. They hurry. They look for other
people like them with good
faces to walk with in the corridors. On the street they look over their shoulders
frequently.
The situation reached the point of front-page editorials in Paris newspapers. Minister of Interior Michel Poniatowski, when he joined the new
government of President Valery Giscard dEstaing last June, promised priority to security.
The police campaign start^ in the subways, where during the first nine months of 1974 (here were 1,000 muggings.
For the entire year of 1970 there were only 292. One reason for the mugging spree may have been that machines replaced human ticket punchers.
To make up for the lack of subway personnel, police headquarters dispatched 800 uniformed officers to check tickets f
and identifications on the (rains. Other officers patrol the long corridors of the citys 47 subway stations.
However, during December (his new patrol questioned only 38,252 subway riders out of 126 million. LAurore said some subway customers were shocked by this intrusion but they should be reassuredthe police are only doing their job a la americaine.
Poniatowskis crackdown on crimeincluding increased personnel, more training and surveillance of gangsterscut le holdup 19 per cent during 1974 in Paris, ministry of interior officials say.
But pickpocketing skyrocketed in the subways and Flea Market, accounting for more (han all other thefts combined.
New Yorkers who move to Paris are astounded to see doors of apartment houses open (o invaders, and most new buildings without traditional concierges to check on comings and goings.
The elimination of doormen made the buildings cheaper to run but also may be one reason why apartment burglaries jumped 45 per cent between 1968 and 1970.
The attack on crime during 1974, part of Giscard dEs-taings new look for France, reduced apartment robberies in Paris by 10 per cent to a total 33,000, police officials say.
Apartment burglaries have become so common that within one month recently three U.S. journalists living in different quarters were r<rt>bed.

ketball players received free airline tickets for their personal use in violation of NCAA rules, the Washington Post reported in todays editions.
The report said two sources close to the investigation said that at least seven tickets were given to two former Clemson players, who were not named in the story.
The story said that NCAA investigator Doug Dunlop has been ttld that all out-of-state players at the Atlantic Coast Conference school at one time got airline tickets through the Clemson basketball office.
Such airline tickets would be outside the grant-in-aid limits set by the NCAA.
Any NCAA sanctions would not affect the schools participation in the ACC or NCAA tournaments next month, the NCAA and ACC were quoted as saying by the Post.
The Post said Robert C. Edwards, Clemsons president, issued a statement Monday night calling the allegations rumors and labeling them vicious and malicious. He said Clemson has received no information from the NCAA to substantiate any of these allegations.

stubborn Catamounts for an SITS victory last night.
The win closed out the regular season for the Pirates, giving them an 18-7 record, the best mark posted by a Buc team since they became a member of the National Oillegiate Athletic Association.
We were tired, Coach Dave Patton said afterwards. The game with The Citadel on Saturday took a lot out of us, and we were dragging. Western was quick, but we made them look a lot quicker.
The game was also filled with a lot of controversial calls by the officials, and at one point debris rained down on the court after one call when Gregg Ashom was called with charging after he had seemingly been submarined.
Western led for most of the first half as the Pirates tried to overcome as much as a nine point lead by the Catamounts. But late in the period, sparked by the play of Robert Geter, Ashom and A1 Edwards, the Bucs fought back and scored 13 straight points to pull from seven down to four in front by the end of the period.
Despite their weariness, the Bucs hit on 56.7 per cent of their shots from the floor and made good on 72.2 per cent at the line. Nearly all of their free throws came in the second half after they got only two chances (both made good) in the first half, as only two fouls were charged to Western. The Bucs also controlled the boards, 39-27.
Western shot 49.2 percent, including 64.5 per cent in the second half.
The Catamounts were hampered by injuries in the very physical game. Their big man, 6-9 Kirby Thurston reinjured his ankle early in the game, and missed much of the first half. He played most of the second half, but was visibly limping. He
scored on a steal. During the again, majority of the first half, it was the Catamounts who controlled the action, racing up and down the court, and holding the lead.
They upped the lead to six on another jumper by Meadows at 10-4 and then edged it to seven
Owens added a free throw 30 seconds later, then Ashorn tossed in a jumper for a four-point edge. It held in that area until Owens hit with 5:40 left for a 65-59 lead. After a Catamount score, Buzzy Braman got a
for the first time at 15-8 when three-pointer to inch back out by Albert Toomer drove in with seven,and Ashom stretched it to
eight, then Hunt made it 10 at 73-63 with 3:30 to go.
The Bucs up the lead to 11 on two free throws by Geter with 2:22 left, 76-65, and held that margin again, 78-77 with 1:00 showing.
Western cut it back to eight at the free throw line, then after Geter tried a slam dunk late in the game, the technical against him and the following basket cut the lead to five with 10 seconds left, but it was too late for a successful rally.
Ashom led the Pirate scoring with 22 points, hitting 10 of 16 shots from the floor. Owens had seven of 10 from the floor and 17 points as he continued his hot shooting streak. Geter added 14 points, while Edwards hit 10. (Jeter also led the rebounding with nine.
Western was led by Toomer with 18, Gibbs and Lassister with 14 each. Meadows with 13 and Thurston with 11.
The Pirates enter Southern Conference Tournament play on Saturday. They will play host to either The Citadel or Appalachian at 8 p.m. in Minges Coliseum, with the winner moving on to the semifinals and finals in Greenville, S.C.
m
15:32 in the half.
East Carolina cut the lead back to three on baskets by Tom Marsh and Ashorn, 17-14, and then to as little as one at 21-20 on another Ashom basket.
Western pulled back again, getting two baskets from James Lassister and two free throws by Lee Gibbs to up the lead to seven again, 27-20. They stretched it once more to nine, as Tommer stole the ball for a score with 5:15 left. But in the rest of the period, they got only on free throws, with Toomer hitting with 2:12 left.
Edwards got the rally going by bossing back in a missed shot. Ashorn hit from the baseline, and after Toomers free throw, Earl Garner hit a jumper. Larry Hunt tapped in a missed shot and Robert Geter got the only two free throws of the half, tieing it at 32-32. (Jeter then tapped in another shot with 33 seconds left, and Edwards jumper with two seconds left gave the Bucs a 34-30 lead at halftime.
During the final five minutes of the half, after Thurstons injury. Western spread it out, but was unable to hit when they got the chance.
The Bucs opened the second half with six straight points as Ashom hit twice and Geter added another for a 40-30 lead.
But Western refused to wilt and fought back. They slowly chipped away at the lead, helped along by a three-point play by Toomer, until they cut it to one at 44-43 with 14:11 left. East Carolina went back out by five.

By FRED ROTHENBERG AP Sports Writer When Kentucky beat Alabama Saturday in a bruising Southeastern Conference battle, the score was final but the effects lingered on.
Both Kentucky and Alabama could be accused of looking and thinking backwards Monday night. Alabama got away with it. Kentucky wasnt as lucky.
Im as proud of our team, as proud as I can be, coming back this way, said Coach C.M. Newton after his eighth-ranked Crimson Tide swatted Georgia 73-64.
Fourth-ranked Kentucky had its nightmarish trip on the court Monday night, falling to Florida 66-58 and dropping one game behind Alabama in the rough-and-tumble SEC race.
We had a definite problem getting up for this game after Alabama, said Kentucky Coach Joe Hall, whose club dropped out of a conference tie with Alabama. If the two SEC leaders had remained tied the rest of the season, Kentucky would have copped the crown and the automatic NCAA bid by virtue of the Wildcats two victories over the Oimson Tide this year.
We told them about the Florida win with IV^ minutes to go, Newton said. Needless to say they were very, very happy. This means that with a two-game season we can win it (SEC) by ourselves. Meanwhile, one team that has mixed feelings when it looks back to Saturday is Indiana. The Hoosiers beat Pur
due 83-82 to win their third straight Big Ten title but lost their leading scorer, Scott May, during the game with a broken arm. He will be out for the season.
The loss of May wasnt apparent by Monday nights score as undefeated Indiana rolled to its 30th straight victory by bullying Illinois 112-89.
Steve Green turned high scorer with 30 points, helping the No. 1-ranked Hoosiers to their 27th victory of this season.
John Laskowski, normally Indianas first sub, replaced May in the starting line-up. He tossed in 28 points, 15 in the first half when the Hoosiers built a 50-44 lead.
The Hoosiers turned a close game into a mismatch in the second half when Green scored 23 points. Rick Schmidt topped Illinois with 31 points and Nate Williams added 24.
Alabama, 14-2 in the conference and 21-3 over-all, was led by Charles Cleveland and Charles Russell, both with 20 points. Georgia suffered its 11th straight loss.
Kentucky, 13-3 and 20-4, had pulled into the SEC lead Saturday with a 84-79 victory over Alabama. But the Wildcats were paralyzed Monday by an aggressive Florida defense, then frustrated by a second-half stall.
Gene Shy helped bounce Kentucky from the SECs elite spot with 20 points, 18 in the first half.
Alabama and Kentucky both have two games left.
In other SEC games. Auburn pounded Louisina State 110-94; Tennessee crushed Mississippi State 109-83 and Vanderbilt trimmed Mississippi 86-80.
Auburn, 11-5 in the SEC, gained its 12th straight home victory as Gary Redding, Stan Pietkiewicz and Eddie Johnson combined for 66 points. Glenn Hansen scored 32 points for the Tigers.
Ernie Grunfield poured in 37 points to lead Tennessee, 11-5 in the confernce, and Butch Fe-her and Joe Ford combined for 48 points to pace Vanderbilts victory.
In the Big Ten, Bruce McCauley hit an eight-footer with three seconds left to lift Michigan over Wisconsin 70-68; Billy McKinneys foul shot with eight seconds left carried Northwestern over Michigan State 67-66, and Eugene Parkers 18 points helped Purdue down Ohio State 84-72.

Furman Nips Jacksonville
By The Associated Press
Coach Joe Williams, his Furman Paladins now ready to bid for a third straight Southern Conference basketball championship, says, When you have the great season going for you, you find yourself winning the close ones, like we have against Jacksonville.
The Paladins, who won 12 conference games without a defeat, wound up a 19-6 regular season Monday night with an 80-79 victory over Jacksonville, a team they had beaten 92-90 in . an earlier meeting.
Some years you just cant win the close ones, but when youre going great, you can you can win those one-point games, said Williams, who took Jacksonville to the National Collegiate Athletic Association finals before moving to Furman.
The victory margin in one of two triumphs by conference teams over nonleague rivals Monday night was provided by a free throw by Craig Lynch with 12 seconds left after Jacksonville drew a technical foul for calling a timeout when it didnt have one remaining.
In two other games. East Carolinas Pirates closed out an 18-7 regular season by beating Western Carolina 81-76, but The Citadels Bulldogs wound up 5-14 by losing to Campbell 86-78.
All league teams are idle tonight.
Furman has just finished examinations and school is out, so the rest this week should be helpful to us, said Williams, whose team will be at home Saturday night against either Appalachian States Mountaineers or The Citadel in an opening round tournament game.
Weve been on the road so much and had to hurry back to classes and we just havent had a chance to rest, said Williams, who added;
We expect to play well in the tournament and I think well be prepared. Its a crazy time, though. People do things
you dont expect. Im not going to worry about blowing anyone out in the tournament. We just hope to win.
Williams said this years new format, under which the four first round games will be played on the home courts of the four highest seeded teams, may be best for the conference.
Furman will serve as host March 5-6 for the semiflnals and finals and Williams said we will have four teams coming to Greenville with first-round wins and they should have a solid base of support from their fans.
It could be the most exciting tournament since West Virginia and Virginia Tech were in the league. And I think the tournament will be more welcome in Greenville than it has been in other places.
Just three seconds before he hit the winning free throw, Lynch had pulled Furman into a tie with a 14-foot jumper. Ronnie Smith missed the front end of a one-and-one after Lynchs foul shot, but Jacksonville couldnt hit two shots at the basket.
Lynch had 26 points for Furman, while Clyde Mayes scored 21 and grabbed 12 reboimds. Ricky Coleman had 33 points for Jacksonville.
A 14-1 spree over the last five minutes of the first half gave East Carolina a 34-30 lead and the Pirates, winding up their best season in history, surrendered the lead just once after that. Gregg Ashorn had 22 points, Donnie Owens 17 and Robert Geter 14 for the Pirates.
Marshall Lovett and Sam Staggers had 17 points each in Campbells victory over The Citadel. The Camels built a 10-point halftime lead and never let the Bulldogs get closer than seven. Rod McKeever had 22 points and Ricky Day 21 for The Citadel.
Efforts Of Three Let Conley Reap Honors
STATE WINNERS These three wrestlers from DJH. Cwiley captured places at the State Wrestling Tournament in WLniston-Salem this past weekend. Conley finished fourth in the overall standings. From left to right
are Donnie Cox, fourth at 138; Barry Purser, third at 185, and Ricky Phillips, third at 119. Each of them lost to an eventual finalist in the meet. (Reflector Photo)
Richmond Said Set To Leave Southern Loop
D. H. Conleys wrestlers accomplished one of the highest, if not the highest, finish for any team in the area in the State High School Wrestling Tournament in Winston-Salem last weekend.
And, while none of the three captured a championship, their only losses were to people who finished the tournament in first or second place.
The three, Barry Purser, Ricky Phillips, both seniors, and Donnie Cox, a junior, took two thirds and a fourth in the tournament, giving Conley enough points to finish fourth in the overall team standings.
These three young men displayed real character and determination on Saturday at the State Tournament by winning eight of their nine matches against a field of sectional champions, Coach Milt Sherman said. Our fourth place finish was easily the highest ever by an Eastern Carolina Conference team, and was the
best from our section by far. Again, I think this was due to the class of these three athletes going against the toughest wrestlers in the state.
Sherman noted that there are no classifications in the state tournament, where 1-A through 4-A competitors get together.
Purser, wrestling at 185, is a Winterville resident, and won Eastern Carolina Conference titles in both of the past seasons. He took the title in the sectional earlier this month, and went on to finish third in the state with an overall record this year of 24-1. He led the team in falls with 18, and plans to attend East Carolina University.
Purser lost only once in the state meet, in the second round, to the wrestler who eventually finished second in the state.
Phillips, another Winterville senior, wrestled at 119, and also was beaten in the second round by the eventual second place finisher. He also won the conference championship in his
weight class and added the sectional title to it before finishing third in the state. His overall mark this year was 23-3, including 17 falls. He plans to attend North Carolina A&T this fall.
At 138, Cox, also from Winterville, had an outstanding year in his first season as a wrestler. He was second in the conference and won the sectional title. He finished fourth in the state, losing in the second round to the one who eventually won the title. Oddly enough, the man he beat in the sectionals came up through another bracket to finish second in the state. He concluded the year with a 24-6 record.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) The Richmond Time-Dispatch. said Monday nigjit it had learned the Univeruity of Richmond is giving strong consideration to leaving the Southern Clonference after iJie 1975-76 academic year.
'The paper said a proposal to that effect will be presented to the universitys board of trustees at its winter meeting Friday.
A source high in Richmonds athletic affairs wag; quoted by the paper as saying; the schools athletic council has discussed the move.
Another source w'as quoted as saying basketball <3oach (3<arl Slone and football Coach Jim Tait will appeare bcifore a faculty meeting Tuesday afternoon to answer question si about the proposal and other matters relating to the futui-e of Richmond athletics.
Neither Athletic Director Clyde Biggers nor university President E. Bru( Heilman was available for comment
Monday night.
The Times-Dispatch quoted Southern Conference Commissioner Kenneth G. Germahn as saying by phone from Charlotte, N. C., that I havent heard about this from Dr. Heilman, Mr. Bigger or anybody at the University of Richmond. I know nothing about it.
Slone told the paper, I cant comment on this. And the paper said E. Claiborne Robins Jr., a member of both the athletic council and the board of trustees, declined comment.
Richmond has been a member of the Southern Conference since 1936. The Spiders have been one of the bulwarks of the league since Virginia Tech withdrew in 1965 and West Virginia in 1968.
But the paper said a source
at the school said the universitys academic and athletic officials recently have been concerned about the direction and future of the conference and Richmonds place in it. The source listed some factors affecting the situation as:
The approval of Appalachian State for membership in 1971.
The decision to allow Davidson to remain in the conference despite its recent move to Division III (small college) football.
The apparently favorable conferencewide reaction to the pending membership application of Western Clarolina.
The Spiderss small crowds and resulting revenue problems for home Southern Conference football and basketball games.

North CaroUna State must win at North Carolina tonight to retain any chance of gaining a tie for the regular-season lead in Atlantic Coast Conference basketball.
The Wolfpacks only chance for a first-round bye in the ACC championship tournament is to finish in a three-way tie with CHemson and Maryland and win a coin flip. And for that to happen, Qemson must win at Maryland Wednesday night.
State is tied with Clemson for second at 8-3, and Maryland is 9-3.
North Clarolina has not beaten N.C. State in their last 10 games. The last time they did so was three years ago at home in Cliapel Hill by 101-78.
The game tonight will start at 9 p.m. and be televised regionally.
Both teams will be trying to rebound from embarrassing losses. N.C. State is coming off its worst defeat of the year, 92-70 last Saturday at Clemson. The Tar Heels fell 65-62 at Virginia that night to lose any hope for regular-season honors.
The game tonight will be the last at home for North Carolina
semors Brad Hoffman, Ed Stahl and Mickey Bell.
Virginia is home to Princeton in tonights only other game for A(X teams.
Clemson freshman guard Skip Wise, who scored 30 points in ie victory over North Carolina State, has been named the A(X rookie of the week. In a midweek game at Georgia Tech he contributed 24 points.
Wise, recovered from an ear-ly-season ankle injury, is fifth in scoring in the ACC. He has made 373 points and is averaging 18.7.
Its the third time this season he has been selected for the rookie honors. This ties him with freshman guard Brad Davis of Maryland.
Wally Walker, Virginia junior whose rebounding played a major role in the victory over North Carolina, was chosen earlier as the leagues player of the week. He had 13 rebounds, including three in the closing minutes, and also led Virginia in scoring witi 15 points. Three days earlier, he had 22 points and seven rebounds in the loss to Maryland. He is the eighth leading scorer in the conference with a 15.9 average.

Tips
By Dr. J. W. Pou
Agricultural Specialist Wachovia Bank A Trust Co., N.A.
By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) South Vietnam can survive without supplemental military aid from the United States, but its ammunition stocks would fall to a dangerously low level by June if fighting gets worse, according to Westom political and military analysts here.
At the same time, they said, North Vietnam and the Viet
Cong have lOugh stockpiles on hand to sustain an offensive for more than a year.
'niese sources say that two-thirds oi the $900 million in supplemental aid requested from Congress by President Ford for South Vietnam would go for ammunition and fuel, the rest for an assortment of items such as spare parts, communications equipment and medical supplies.
The 1975 crop year in North Carolina promises to be one of great excitement according to J. A. PhiUips, So Specialist at N. C. State University. Farmers are receiving good prices for com, soybe^s, grain sorghum and wheat, while feeder cattle prices are extremely poor. Prices for machinery, fuel, fe^ tilizer and other production inputs are at very high levels and some items are scarce. Production controls on most crops are off allowing acreages to increase. This is bringing more marginal land into production as well as large acres of new land through clearing and drainage. Supplies of food and grain are short due to lowered production last year and the demand for farm products looks fairly strong for the future. However, with the current economic unrest and high cost of agricultural inputs, high levels of management ^d the proper management decisions are more critical than ever before. , .
High oil prices have contributed greatly to high fertilizer prices. Natural gas, which is in short supply, is used in the manufacture of fertilizer and a large portion of the energy i^d to produce and transport both fertilizer and lime consume oil.
Every field should be soil tested this year to establish the fertility level and fertilizer should be applied according to soil test. Some soil test resulte show that P and K levels may be very high. In this case fertilizer should be adjusted to meet the needs of the crop without using excessive amounts of any element.
Lime fields according to recommendations. This enhances the efficiency of the fertilizer used, particularly the phosphorus and potessium, and increases nitrogen fixation by bacteria on the legume crops. In the case of nitrogen, adjust the nitrogen requirements to take into consideration the carryover of nitrogen from previous legume crops.
Other points to remember are that the more productive soil types show a greater response to fertilization than the lessor productive soils; most marginal soils that have been brought into production in recent years have very low pH and may require large amounts of lime for efficient fertUizer use and reasonable yields; and rented land^ should always be soil tested prior to leasing. This gives you a better handle on fertUizer and lime needs prior to your lease commitment and will help establish a fair rent rate.
With high fuel, labor and machinery cost, field consolidation and drainage improvement can pay off in short order. Consider the possibility of combining fields to reduce turning time, and at the same time allow the use of larger equipment This practice not only saves time and labor but will also save fuel.
Proper field drainage or water management in effect modifies a second or third class soU so t^t it will respond like a Class I soU, thereby increasing yield as well as field efficiency. Lowering the water table enlarges the rooting zone, increas^ plant available moisture, and increases the efficiency of fertUizer and machinery use. Not only must the water table be controUed but also the surface may need to be shaped to enhance surface water management.
Minimum tiUage or reduced tiUage offers many advantages also. It reduces the number of trips across the field thereby reducing labor, fuel ^d machinery cost, as well as compaction. Practice such as fall bedding distribute labor as well as provide a warmer, firmer seedbed at planting time. Notillage further reduces fuel, labor and nwchinery cost as well as provides many soil conservation benefits. All of these practices warrant consideration and could lead to greater profit potential in farming operations during 1975.
Paralyzed By
Rules' Change
WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate remains paralyzed by the fight over a proposed change in rules to make it easier to cut off filibusters.
A recess was taken Monday night until today after eight roU call votes failed to resolve the
jobs.
Those opposed to a new rule on filibusters said sponsors of the change had to take responsibility for blocking a vote on the bill.
impasse.
Caught up in the complex parliamentary maneuvering was a House-passed bill to provide $347 million in federal aid for the Penn Central and other financially-strapped railroads.
Each side in the rules battle blamed the other for preventing action on the rail bill.
Sen. Walter F. Mndale, D-Minn., a chief sponsor of the rules change, accused o^-nents of holding the bill hostage at the risk of throwing thousands of workers out of their
Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., floor manager for the bill, said he favored making it easier to curb filibusters but did not regard this as more important than keeping the nations transportation system going.
He said that unless the Senate passes the bill quickly, the nation will suffer economic chaos. Emergency funds provided the Penn Central Monday by the government will only enable the railroad to keep operating until the end of the week, he said.
I dont think the country will collapse if they dont get the siq>plemental aid, one of these sources said, but their ammunition stocks would fall to a dangerously low level by June if thore is a high level of fighting in the next few months.
The $700 million Congress approved for South Vietnam for the fiscal year that began last July 1 will run out by June 30. In his budget for the fiscal year 1976 beginning next July l, Ford is seeking $975 million for South Vietnam. *
While some congressional leaders say it is doubtful that the sui^lemental aid will be approved, analysts say it is unlikely that all aid would be terminated. Even if it were, South Vietnam has some limited financial resources, reportedly up to $300 million, including dollar and gold reserves.
If the supplemental aid is rejected, analysts say, South Vietnam would simply have to get by until July 1 when it could start drawing funds for the new fiscal year.
Western diplomats say that since the signing of the ceasefire agreement in January 1973, the United States has not replaced equipment for the South Vietnamese on a one-to-one basis as allowed under terms of the accords, with international supervision.
Except for about 30 advanced F5E jet fighter-bombers and some vehicles, the United States has not purchased or replaced heavy war equipment
such as tanks and artillery since the signing of the agreement, diplomtits say.
But it is known that a few months befor<e the signing when it became evident that an agreement was near the United States rushed in hundreds of tons of equipment, including aircraft and tanks, in an effort to Lieef up the South Vietnamese.
Western sources say that since the ceas-je-fire North Vietnam has heavily beefed up its forces while South Vietnamese forces have declined, although they still outnumber the North in manpower and equipment.
The South, Vietnam^ have lost moir ttin 30,000 soldiers killed and t;he Viet Cong and North Vietnamese about an equal numbe r since the ceasefire pact, acixirding to the Saigon government.
According to U.S. sources, South Vietnaim still has a 2-1 advantage iw military manpower, 3-1 in artillery and an air superiority, but the military balance is shifting toward North Vietnam.
Western diplomats say North Vietnamese stockpiles in the South are n ow estimated to be sufficient to sustain a military offensive ot; the 1972 campaigns intensity for well over a year. Additional large stockpiles situatecl in extreme southern N(Ml;h \;ietnam are available for rapid transfer ... South.
President Nguyen Van Thieu maintains th at the reduction in U.S. military aid, from a re
quested $1.4 billion for the current fiscal year to $700 million, had reduced the combat efficiency of the South Vietnamese armed forces by 80 per cent.
The North Vietnamese have won back virtually all of the territory once held by U.S. forces, much of it during the big 1972 Easter offensive, including large chunks of Quang Tri Province in the far northern sector of South Vietnam.
The Communist side probably controls as much land as the government, says one analyst. But, he claims, the government controls 90 per cent or more of South Vietnams 20 million population.
Analysts do not anticipate a nationwide general offensive by the North Vietnamese to seek a, military victory but they predict they will keep up pressure.
They dont feel they really need a military victory, one said. They are uncertain how
the U.S. reaction would be to an across-the-border invasion. Its easier to keep'a low profile, not attract as much attention. It might take longer but it is much safer and more economical to keep the pressure on in hopes of collapsing the government on its own weaknesses and forcing Thieu to resign.

Mother Saves Four In Apartment Blaze
NEW YORK.(AP) Four children are alive today because their mother braved flames and dense smoke three times to pull them from their burning Bronx apartment, according to fire officials.
Mrs. Estrella Santiago, 33, told firemen the blaze apparently was caused by the kitchen oven she had lit about 9 a.m. Monday to heat their cold first-floor apartment.
I left the kitchen for a minute and when I returned it was on fire, she said. The curtain must have caught on fire.
The fire was between me and the children who were sleeping in their two bedrooms.
My eyes were blinded by all the smoke so I prayed to God to let me see enough to find my children.
I put a blanket over myself and went through the kitchen and carried out two of the babies to the street. The smiAe was very heavy and I found one more of the children on the second trip. The third time was the roughest but I thank God we all made it.
When firemen arrived, Mrs. Santiago collapsed in their arms. She and the children, Isabelle, 8; Fernandez, 6; Mary Belle, 4, and Denise, 1, were taken to Fordham Hospital where all were treated for first and second degree burns and released.
The blaze in the apartment was extinguished quickly. Firemen said all the children would have died in the blaze had Mrs. Santiago failed to act.

A decade or so ago, Britain, France, Sweden and Italy dominated the European Bridge Championships. No other country had the bridge savvy to seriously challenge these powers. However the standard of play worldwide has improved tremendously, and countries that were once cannon fodder are now forces to be reckoned with.
In the 1974 championship, Portugal was hard on the heels of the leaders throughout the two weeks of play, and eventually finished a creditable sixth. Their star player is Manuel Antunes, who held the West cards on this hand from his countrys match against Ireland.
The Irish, perhaps relying on some help from the lepre
chauns, reached an ambitious three no trump contract. However, the contract was by no means easy to defeat. Antunes made a safe enough lead when he selected a low diamond, won by declarers king. A heart was led to the king and the jack of spades was successfully finessed.. Now, declarer led a low heart towards dummy, and Antunes paused to take stock.
Declarer almost certainly had five spade tricks, and the ace of diamonds brought his total in that suit to two. With a heart trick already in the bank, declarer had a total of eight tricks and needed only one more for his game. Both the bidding and the play indicated that declarer must have the queen of hearts.
Thus, West realized that he could not afford to duck the heart, for the jack would be the game-going trick. Equally obvious was that the defenders would have to take four ftist tricks in clubs if they were to defeat the contract. There ai*e only one way to accomplish this. Antunes shifted to the jack of clubs!
Whether declarer covered or not, the defenders were bound to take four club tricks. When, in fact, he played the queen. East won the ace, returned a club to his partners king and West was able to continue a low club through dummys 8-6 to his partners 10-7. Note that the defenders can score no more than three clubs if West shifts to any other club.

New Jersey family. But the shows creator wont be able to see its national premiere.
He says hell be busy that night, supervising the taping of the pilot of another series he wrote and hopes to sell to NBC.
But in June, writer Alan Alda resumes his better-known acting areer as Hawkeye when M-A-S-H cranks up for its fourth season.
Right now, Alda is drumbeat-ing for Well Get By, originally scheduled to start on C^S last September. It was dropped from the 1974-75 lineup when a federal court delayed the start of revised prime time access rules for network programming at night.
The show was hastily put back in the CBS lineup last week when the network decided Khan, a detective series installed as a midseason replacement, was a flop and ordered it axed after four shows.
Alda said CBS programming chief Fred Silverman notified him of CBS Friday night program change only last week and weve been in high gear ever since, trying to snap into action.
I guess he (Silverman) fela pressing need to do something about Friday night. He made a very fast series of decisions, so we had to go right to work to let the audience know were opening up then.
Fortunately for Alda, 13 Well Gtet By shows already are in the can. All he has to do is publicize the series and hope it survives in its time slot against NBCs hit Chico and the Man series.
He also has to worry later about whether NBC will buy his proposed new series, the pilot of which he said he began writing just last December after M-A-S-H finished production for the season.
The 39-year-old actor, interviewed by phone from the New Jersey home he shares with his wife, three daughters and typewriter, said hes not writing additional scripts for his ambulance-chaser just yet.
No, all were concentrating on right now is the pilot, he saiUIf NBC is interested in seeing more material after that, then of course we can do it.
But my order of business is really ta get the pilot done and then concentrate on letting people around the country know about Well (Set By.

WASHINGTON (AP) A nuclear power plant defect called stress-assisted corrosion is puzzling safety experts who dont know why it occurs or exactly how it causes tiny cracks in reactor pipes.
The corrosion so concerned the Nuclear Regulatory Commission three weeks ago that it ordered 23 nuclear power plants to shut down and look for cracks similar to the hairline cracks discovered in safety piping in an Illinois plant.
That concern had abated some by the end of last week after inspections at 20 plants found no cracks like those at the Dresden Unit 2 reactor at Morris, 111.
Cracks there were found Jan. 27 in two lO-inch diameter pipes that would spray cooling water on the reactor core in an emergency.
Pipe cracks raise the possibility of eventual pipe failures, which might lead to a reactor accident.

Congressional Group Is Departing For Vietnam
WASHINGTON (AP) A congressional delegation is embarking on a week-long factfinding trip to Vietnam and possibly Cambodia at the request of President Ford, who is seeking additional military aid for Indochina.
leaving today includes two of the most outspoken House opponents of U.S. involvement in Indochina, Reps. Bella A. Abzug, D-N.Y., and Donald M. Fraser, D-Mlnq.

Flynt said the congressmen will examine the possibility of diverting $300 million of South Vietnams economic aid to military use rather than grant
Fords request for an additional $300 million there during this fiscal year.
Ford also has asked for an additional $220 million for Cambodia this year.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield said he would not appoint a Senate fact-finding delegation because the trip would interfere with pending Senate business.

CHARLTTE, N.C. (AP) -Arch Booth, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Congress should pass a one-time 10 per cent income tax rebate to stimulate the economy.
Booth, in a speech Monday to a business group, rejected massive public works programs designed to put a quick fix on the recession.
'The best thing for the economy right now would be measures that strengthen natural recovery forces that are contained in the profit motive and work incentive, Booth said.
So, we need some stimulation from an immediate tax rebate, and at the same time we need to put a lid on federal spending so future deficits will not further deplete the nations capital.
Booth said the economic conditions demand calm appraisal and simple measures rather than every stimulant tonic being advocated.
mission has a study group probing the causes of stress assisted corrosion.
We havent been able to put our finger on what is causing it, said Muzaffer Kehnemuyi, the commission staff member heading the study.
In an interview, he expressed confidence the mystery will be solved.
Prevailing ideas are that some form of stress placed on the reactors stainless steel piping combines with chemical corrosion to flaw a pipe. A tiny crack begins to grow inside, eventually reaching the outside and beginning a leak.
NRC staff members, outside scientists, utilities operating the reactors and reactor manufacturers have said the small cracks wont immediately threaten the safety of a nuclear power plant.
They contend the cracks grow very slowly and that leak detection systems will spot a crack long before it grows large enough to threaten rupture of a key pipe.
Nevertheless, there is some concern about the leak detection systems and their adequacy to spot the cracksSays Family Uncritical
NEW YORK (AP) Princess Christina of the Netherlands says her forthcoming marriage to a Cuban emigre Jorge Guillermo wont change her life at all.
She said Monday shes been just Miss Average New Yorker since she came here June and I love it.
The 28-year-old auburn-haired princess told reporters at a news conference that her parents, (Jueen Juliana and Prince Bernhard are very happy with her wedding plans.
She said that after her marriage June 30 in Utrecht she will return to New York where she will continue her work as an elementary school music and French teacher. And Guillermo, 28, will go on with his work, as assistant director of a Harlem day care center.
She added that her parents never expressed displeasure with her choice of a commoner for a mate.

Class Provides Bird Feeders
Thanks to an East Carolina University industrial production class, many hungry Greenville area birds wont have to scrabble around for earthworms and newly-planted seeds this spring.
About 20 bird feeders filled with wild bird seed will be available for the birds when they return here from more southern regions. The feeding stations were built by students in ECUs Industrial Technology 275 class, as part of course work.
After classroom exposure to the manufacturing systems design and manufacturing control systems, the class divided itself into specialization areas which duplicate actual manufacturing business.
These areas included management, planning and research, and production.
early.
'The core spray pipe cracks at Dresden were found by routine visual inspection. The cracks were small and there was not enough water leaking from them to trigger the detection system.
Cracks discovered last September at the same reactor but in different pipes were spotted by the leak detection system. Those cracks and the discovery of similar fla>vs at pipes in other reactors led to an order that shut down 15 plants for inspection.

railroad will be rezoned from RA-20 to Medical Arts. Land west of the Medical Arts tract and running west along Stan-tonsburg Road some 3,100 feet to the Allen Road is also to be rezoned from RA-20 to R-6.
During the public hearing, attorney Tom Taft told the Council that he felt action taken by the board last night will affect local citizens as well as others in North Carolina for five generations to come. Taft said that he hoped the Council would consider the public interest and asked that the board remember that medical care is the primary area for consideration.
Attorney Frank Wooten, representing the J. R. Moye heirs, requested that the property between N.C. 43 and Moyewood remain CDF. The property had been proposed for rezoning to Medi<l Arts twit Wooten contended that more than enough medical zoning exists on the south side of N.C. 43. He said that heavy vehicular traffic on the highway would create problems as far as pedestrian traffic is concerned if medically related facilities are located on both sides of the highway.
J. H. Moye, representing the J. G. Moye heirs, requested that the Council make frontage along the northern side of N.C. 43 west of the city limits Office and Institutional. The area had been proposed for R-6.
Phil Carroll, representing Doctors A1 Weimer and Billy Jones and himself involving a tract of some 230 acres with 1,550 feet frontage on the north side of N. C. 43, said that the property owners preferred that frontage of 450 feet deep be zoned for Office and Institutional usage.
Dr. William Fore, representing the owners of property at the southern intersection of Sixth Street and Memorial Drive, said that he felt more than enough land was proposed for Medical Arts zoning and he asked that the property remain Shopping Center.
Tom Greer, attorney representing Mrs.
devoted a lot of time and work to the proposed medical
related office building.
Special uses allowed within the Medical Arts District now include: related health service; restaurant, excluding drive-in;
development plan. He said that reUU sales of products for the intent of the board was to (kictors, hospitals, and other develop a plan that everyone health care institutions; could look back on with pride, manufacture and - or Noting that reasonable men distribution of medical supplies and women do differ, Faser or products; bank or savings and is not im- loBii facilities; motel; and ac-
said that zoning perative, iMit planning is. He contended that the commission made no effort to devalue property as some insinuated. We dont have that authority. Faser said that the planning board gave the Council a comprehensive plan and he urged the 0)uncil to vote on it that way. To take it piecemaal, he said, would defeat it.
West complimented the members of the commission for their efforts in making the study and said that he felt they did an excellent job.
Dr. Frank Fuller offered a motion that the plan be approved as presented by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Following a second by Mrs. Mildred McGrath, the motion was defeated by a three to two margin with (Council members John Howard, Joe Taft and Percy Cox voting against the measure. West also indicated that he would cast a vote against adoption of 'the plan as presented.
With the motion defeated, the Council then took up each tract of land and voted to approve recommended zoning in each case or change the designations.
Prior to the hearing on the MDDP, the Council conducted a public meeting on the proposed amendments to Chapter 32 of the city code involving a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission that the code be amended by expanding the uses permitted within the Medical Arts zone and creating a new Health zone.
Under the amended ordinance, permitted uses in Medical Arts zoning districts include: apothecary,
prescription center or drugstore where a licensed pharmacist is employed in the practice of preparing and filling medical and dental prescriptions; medical or dental clinic; Seannie Physical therapists office;
cessory building.
Purges of the new Health Care District, according to the amended ordinance, shall be to provide areas where the institutionalized care of physically or mentally ill people can be provided and where governmental or private agencies or institutions can provide services of a medical, para-medical or social service nature. It shall also be the purpose of this district to provide for a healthful environment that is conducive to the care and convalescing of ill people:
Permitted uses under the new zoning district include: care home, nursing home; convalescent home; hospital; medical school, or other health or medically related educational center; outpatient clinic or care facility; sanitorium; emotional or physical rehabilitation center; medically related research laboratory; and social service facility, including but not limited to aid to the poor, blind or aged. A special use in the district is a governmental institution or agency.
Chapter 32 was also amended by adding new sections under uses which may be allowed. New sections included: motel-which may be permitted in the Medical Arts district privided that the front setback be at least 50 feet from the highway right-of-way line and that the minimum side and rear yards be at least 50 feet ; and manufacture and - or distribution of medical supplies-and products takes place shall maintain a front setback of at least 50 feet and meet the parking requirements for an industrial or manufacturing establishment or warehouse.

Had Explosive In Underpants
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) A middle-aged woman was arrested for smuggling explosive gelignite in her underpants into Portlaoise jail, Irish security officials said early today.
They said the explosive apparently was for a breakout by some of the 100 guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army who are in the prison.
The gelignite smuggler was spotted when she tried to hand the stick of explosives to a prisoner, police said. They said she had gotten past an electronic scanner at the gate of the top-security prison.
Peaden, who owns property along Memorial Drive and Stantonsburg Road proposed for MA zoning, requested that the area remain Highway Commercial. Mayor Eugene West asked Greer if Shopping Center would serve the same purpose and Greer said that it would be more desirable than MA.
Councilman Percy Cox reminded property owners attending the hearing that with increased special uses approved for MA zones, the designation is not as restricted as it once was and is open to more uses than before.
Dr. Rufus Knott, representing a corporation composed of six doctors who own property adjacent to the new hospital site, requested that a tract of land on the north side of Stantonsburg Road that was proposed for Office and Institutional remain Shopping Center. He said that rezoning of the property would jeopardize the doctors positions as far as negotiations on the property with the state are concerned.
Dr. William McConnell, one of the doctors in the corporation, said that it is necessary that shopping centers be within walking distances of the medical facilities and he requested that the land remain zoned for shopping centers.
Speaking as a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, Karl Faser pointed out that over the past 12 to 14 months, conscientious people on the planning commission
