Kissinger Briefs On Mid-East
By KENNETH J. FREED Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressional leaders emerged from a meeting today with President Ford and a pessimistic Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger pledging bipartisan cooperation in efforts toward a Middle East settlement. ' Senate Majority Leader Mike Mfinsfield said the meeting was depressing and disappointing because of the lack of success of Kissingers most recent negotiations, which he said we completely support. Mansfield and other congressional leaders said that efforts for a settlement will now continue in the Geneva Conference.
Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott said the congressional leaders are bipartisan, they are responsible and in this case division stops at the waters edge.
ThcNeaders said President Ford has begun a reassessment and re-examination of U.S. policy in the Middle East and would keep Congress imme-

diately advised of developments.
Kissinger, who returned home Sunday night after his Middle East negotiations broke down, received warm applause from the congressional leaders of both parties as they gathered in the Cabinet Room to hear his report on thl>'ace mission.
Scott told reporters afterward: We ought not to be assessing the blame. We are agreed Secretary Kissinger was not to blame.
House Minority Leader John Rhodes said there was no feeling of despair, no feeling war is imminent as a result of the breakdown of step-by-step negotiations Kissinger had undertaken with Egypt and Israel.
But Mansfield said peace negotiations at the Geneva Conference will be much more difficult because the number of participants will be larger.
House Speaker Carl Albert said, howevpr, Theres no loss of hope. He called Kissingers shuttle diplomacy a superb effort.
Tunc
Mansfield said Kissinger had come close, but not close enough and that his efforts had collapsed over Egypts refusal to make a non-belligerency pledge.
The congressional leaders
said Indochina did not come up at the meeting. In response to questions, Scott told reporters the lawmakers agreed developments in Southeast Asia in no way affected the U.S. position in the Middle East negotiations.

" MUST FILE AS MARRIED
I am legally separated from my wife. Yet, I find that, according to North Carolina law, I have to file my taxes as if I were married. We can file separately, but not as single persons. This will make about $300 difference in how much I may get back.
What you say is true,Hotline learned from the Internal Revenue Service. Some states do allow persons legally separated to file as single, but not North Carolina. We asked local CPA John Farley about the situation, and he pointed out, Its not, a matter of whats most advantageous, nor even what might seem to be right. The tax laws are written either one way or the other and we who follow them and those who administer them must follow them as they are.
It might be a question worth mentioning to your legislators, though.
WRONG BIRTH DATE My son was bom on the 17th, but his birth certificate says the 18th. How can I get it changed? Mrs. H. E.
Pitt County Register of Deeds Elvira Allred said, since your son is not yet school age, you should ask the doctor who delivered him to send a note verifying the date of birth. This will be all that is needed for her office to initiate the necessary changes. School record, immunization records, or anything else official which gives the correct date of birth, also would be helpful, when these exist, she said.
ORANGE PARK, Fla. (AP) Retired Adm. Jackson R. Tate held a secret rendezvous with the Russian daughter he had never seen, then talked briefly by telephone with the Soviet actress he had loved during World War II.
Tates daughter, Russian actress Victoria Fyodorova, arrived in Florida Sunday to meet her ailing father for the first time.
Zora Fyodorova, 62, said today in Moscow that her daughter telephoned her after the meeting, and that she also talked briefly with Tate.
They said they were delighted to be with each other, the mother reported. But he said he was ill with a weak heart and did not want lot of excitement.
She said she could not remember where the father and daughter were at the time of the call, but it was somewhere in Florida other than Orange Park, where the ex-Navy officer lives with his second wife.

Pitt County Environmental Health Director Wiilie Pate said people living in flooded areas who have private suppiies should be boiling all their drinking water now.
He said anyone affected should call the Environmental Health Division of the Health Department. 752-4141. and report it. Someone will be sent to take a sample of the water and advise when it is all right to use it without boiling.

Tates daughter, now 29, was scheduled to arrive in Jacksonville Sunday night, but she ap-^ parently arrived earlier after slipping quietly away from her home in Moscow.
Tate said in a release delivered to the news media after his departure Sunday that he and his daughter would be in seclusion for several weeks taking some time to get to know each other.
The release said the pair would hold a press reception in about three weeks to announce what they have talked about concerning her plans for the remainder of the trip.

Twister
Strikes
Atlanta
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) A tornado killed two persons and injured dozens early today, and rescue workers probed the wreckage of homes and businesses for other victims.
At least 49 persons were treated at hospitals and num-berous others suffered cuts and bruises as the twister tore off roofs and battered out windows in a northwest Atlanta area.
Theres just a lot of destruction, said Police Sgt. Jerry-Price. It looks pretty bad.
A U.S. mail terminal was demolished when the twister wiped out a two-block industrial area, and 30 to 40 huge tractor trailers used to haul mail and parcel post were overturned or crushed.
B. F. Monroe, who works in a warehouse adjacent to the terminal, said he ran out of the warehouse when he heard a roar like an airplane."
A piece of roof caught me. It threw me about 50 feet, he said. When I was getting up I saw a Pontiac coming down the street rolljng like a matchbox. I saw a woman fall out. It didnt even lo( like she was hurt.
The car was crushed seconds later when a truck was flipped over on top of it by the wind.
What were doing now is evacuating all these damaged buildings. Were concentrating on life now, said Deputy Police Chief A. T. Hornsby. Were locating for more victims.
The twister struck at the beginning of the morning rush hour. It demolished several commercial buildings, ripped the roofs from public housing units, knocked down power lines, overturned cars and (rucks, and inflicted heavy damage to the $1.4 million Georgia governors mansion.
Rescue workers digging through debris to rescue a trapped and injured man discovered the body of another man who apparently was killed when a collapsing wall crushed his car.

SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) Tank-led North Vietnamese forces overran two more provincial capitals today and isolated Da Nang, South Vietnams second largest city.
The North Vietnamese advance cut off the entire northern quarter of South Vietnam at a point 3(K) miles northeast of Saigon.
In Cambodia, rebel forces overran a key base guarding the Phnom Penh airport and another government position 18 miles west of Phnom Penh, kilting scores of women and children, field reports said. But the U.S. airlift of rice, ammunition and fuel resumed after a twoday suspension.
The South Vietnamese provincial capitals that fell were Quang Ngai and Tam Ky. The old imperial capital of Hue, 50 miles north of Da Nang, is already cut mff, and the only way of resupplying government forces in Da Nang is by air and boat
Da Nang, a major military headquarters, is where the first U.S. forces landed in 1%5. It then served as a major U.S. air base and headquarters for a U.S. Marine division. It normally has a population of 500,000, but this has been swollen to more than double its size by 600,000 refugees.
Hue, the countrys fourth largest city, is now encircled and also in danger of falling. Most of its 200,000 inhabitants have fled.
Tam Ky is the capital of Quang Tin Province 35 miles south of Da Nang. Quang Ngai is the capital of Quang Ngai Province 40 miles further south. The fall of a provincial capital is regarded as tantamount to the fall of the province itself because the capital controls the provinces functions.
This would make Quang Tin and Quang Ngai the 10th and 11th of South Vietnams 44 provinces to fall to the Communists and would put under Communist control about 40 per cent of South
Vietnams 66,000-square-mile territory and the three million people living there, or roughly 15 per cent oft the countrys population.
The Communist-led offensive has created almost one million South Vietnamese refugees. The Viet Cong say they have requested emergency aid for the refugees and the North Vietnamese charge the fleeing Civilians are being used as human shields by retreating South Vietnamese forces.
In Cambodia, rebel forces attacking like ants routed government forces from Tuol Leap, the strategic base six miles from the airport which was supposed to protect the U.S. airlift from rockets, field reports said.
Another government position 18 miles west of Phnom Penh, fell after 300 insurgents infiltrated through a sewage viaduct and began throwing hand grenades, killing scores of women and children of soldiers families, the reports said.
Sewer Problem In High-Water Area
By BLANCHE HARDEE Reflector Staff Writer
Charles Horne, director of the Greenville Utilities Commission, reported this morning that some areas in the city were having minor problems with the in-flow of water into the sewer lines.
Horne said the water was coming into manholes in various locations and into some lines in low lying areas.
The excess water has been more than the utilities pumping station can handle. We are having high water levels in our wet wells which is causing a back up in the sewer lines.
However, if the Tar River continues to level off, we will be
able to pick up again, Horne explained.
The sewage problems were reported around Tar River Estates and other sections in that area because the streets in that area are very low, according to Horne.
Horne reported high water still remained in the West Meadowbrook area. However, here are no sanitary lines in ihat area so no Greenville Utilities problems occurred.
The utilities director said he did not foresee any health problems. It was reported Sunday that several children and adults were playing in the high water.

N.C. Streams Overflowing
By The Associated Press
Rain-swollen streams overflowed their banks across North Carolina today.
Already filled creeks and streams in the Asheville area overflowed as rain began falling in midmorning. Tunnel road on U. S. 74 was under three to four feet of water. Several Cars were stalled and county rescue squad workers picked up people from atop the stranded vehicles.
U. S. 70 on Swannanoa road was under water. The Biltmore section south of Asheville had water on several streets.
A flash flood warning was in effect until 4 p.m. for the French Broad River and its tributaries from Rosman to Asheville, including the Swam-nanoa River basin.
Except for the Rosman area.
it did not appear that the main stem of the French Broad would go out of its banks. However. all low lying areas along the P'rench Broad and Swannanoa rivers were expected to have water in the fields and across roads later in the day.
Due to the rains intensity, there was the danger of some landslides and mud slides over the French Broad system, the National Weather Service said.
Rivers and tributaries were expected to recede later this afternoon as the rain tapers off.
To the east, Kerr Lake crested at a record 316.79 feel and was expected to go down today. Its normal level is 300 feet. The Kerr Reservoir Development Commission office near Henderson was surrounded by water and personnel moved to temporary offices.
or playing in the high water, Horne said. It is especially dangerous if the sewer lines have backed up in the water. Parents should not allow their children to go bathing in the high waters.
The National Weather Service in Raleigh reported that the Tar River level was 18.6 feet and dropping this morning at 8 a.m. The' river level was reported at 18.8 feet Sunday at 8 a. m. and by 1 p.m. has risen to 18.9 feet.
The high water and flooding in GreeriVille did not discourage local residents from getting out Sunday and enjoying the warm sunshine, a rarity in the area over the past few days.
Sundays high temperature was reported at 74 degrees while the low for that day was 52 degrees. The high temperature for Saturday was 70 degrees while the low was 46.
The temperature this morning at 8 p.m. was reported at 64 degrees and by 10:30 a.m. has risen to 72 degrees.
Two Big Days
Pitt Blood chairman Billy Koss reminded citizens in the P'armville and Ayden-Grlfton areas of Bloodmobile visits to their sections this week.
Ross said that the Blood-mob'ile will be at L'armville Central High School on Tuesday for a 10:311 a.m. until 2::tO p.m. visit under the sponsorship of the high school.
The Task F'orce at Ayden-Grifton High School will sponsor a visit on Wei^nesday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the school auditorium, Ross noted.
The chairman urged citizens in both areas to donate blood in support of the high school efforts.
Information Meeting On Airline Service Man 28
KINSTON-The Department of Transportation and Highway Safety and the Neuse River Council of Governments will hold an information session regarding airline service in Eastern North Carolina, March 28.
The session is scheduled for 2 p.m. in the Lenoir Community College auditorium.
Officials said the purpose of the meeting is to summarize the findings of the North Carolina Airport System Plan as it relates to airline service in the East. The plan is designed to recommend a
system of airports which* will result in improved air service at the lowest possible cost.
The portion of the plan dealing with Eastern North Carolina has been accelerated to meet funding deadlines imposed by feddral agencies, in light of a request fof federal funds by the Rinston-Lenoir County Airport Commission for construction of a new airline terminal.
The federal agencies involved will not act on the application until tentative funds and recommendations regarding air service are
made by state officials.
The state study outlines several major factors affecting decisions on airline service. Some of the factors include: trends of economics and population in the region; an engineering analysis of existing airport facilities, requirements to upgrade themf and estimated costs; a review of current and proposed highway access foi" the region; and an overall analysis of existing airline service and projections for service in the future.
DOp* officials contkicting the study say Eastern North
Carolinians are not receiving the type air service that they should have and indicate that it is the states intention to look closely at whatever changes will bring the most efficient means of providing improved air carrier service to the greatest number of people.
Last week. Piedmont Airlines announced plans' to' discontinue service to Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base at Goldsboro, on May 1, where studies over the past several years have indicated use of the Piedmont service has been declining.
The Goldsboro schedule will be consolidated with Piedmont flights to Kinston, where service will be expanded.
Piedmont official R. L. McAlphin said the airlines four Goldsboro flights will be dropped and one additional departure added to the Kinston schedule, initially.
At present, there are nine daily departures from Kin-stpn. The flight to be added May 1. will bring the number of Kinston flighU at 10.
McAlphin noted that most of the flights now stopping at Goldsboro also stop at Kin
ston, He noted that the airlines will take a closer look at the Kinston schedule, in (he future, indicating that other changes might occur to provide still better service. ^
The Goldsboro-Wayne County Airport Authority last October recommended that Wayne County and Goldsbwo join Kinston and Lenoir County in promoting a regional airport at the Kinston facility.
The Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, at that time, also endorsed the move.

Possibly $1.5 Buried Under
Million
Garbage
OFFICER OF THE MONTHGlen Cannon, chairman of the Mid-East Criminal Justice Police Committee presents the Peace Officer of the Month award to Sgt. Brad Bagley of the Williamston Police Department.
Earned Peace Officer Award
WILLIAMSTONSgt. Brad Thomas Bagley of the Williamston Police Department earned the Peace Officer of the Month award for February by exemplifying the traits that make an outstanding officer.
The Mid-East Criminal Justice Division sponsors the award which was presented last week during a regular meeting
of the Criminal Justice Policy Board.
The sargeant, was cited for his exemplary conduct during the recent Christmas season.
Bagley joined the Williamston Police Department July 1, 1958, and on Jan. 1, 1971, he was promoted to the rank of sargeant.
LEXINGTON, S. C. (AP)-Lexington County law officers are standing by with bulldozers at a county dump where an estimated $1.5 million in securities may be buried under tons of garbage.
Two thieves had found the papers and money when they cracked a safe stolen from the Walter P. Rawl and Sons Produce Co. They tossed the valuable papers and money into a dumpster.
Before the papers could be retrieved by the Lexington County Sheriffs Dept., the dumpster had been taken to a county dump and the papers covered with tons of garbage.
Lt. Ted Reed of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said the securities are literally under tons of garbageit would be like looking for a needle in a stack.
Reed and Lexington Coun^ Detective A1 Davis were credited by Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts with solving the case.
Keith F. Brannon, 18, and Herman Lamb, 20, both of Red-bank, S.C., were arrested Friday and charged with housebreaking, grand larceny and larceny of an automobile in connection with the breakin at the home of wealthy landowner
Walter P. Rawl Sr. on March 12. Rawl maintains an office at his home.
A 500^und safe was taken from the Rawls home by two men who carted it away in his truck. The peeled safe was later found in a wooded area.
Credit cards and other items belonging to Raw! were later found by a County prisoner in a large green garbage container, and someone realized it was connected with the safecracking case, Metts said.
'The sheriff said a frantic effort was made to contact the county sanitation supervisor, but by the time they were able to get to the dump, more than 20 truckloads of garbage had been deposited on top of the spot where the bonds and other securities are believed to have been put.
hay-/^ Were sure the securities ; are there, Metts said. Apparently the people who took them didnt know what to do with them, and were afraid of getting caught so they had to get rid of them, Metts said. So, they just threw them into a dumpster.
The sheriff said the thieves also netted some money in the safe and it has been recovered.
Rawl said the papers included land papers, pass books from banks, church certifi
cates, notes, mortgages and 2,-000 shares of First National Bank stock. He estimated the papers represent land and money worth $1.5 million. The securities alone were estimated to be worth more than $250,000.
The $300 or $400 in cash I can replace, the sfe I can replace, but I cant very easily replace those papers, Rawl said.
If we can get all the numbers on the securities, we may be able to have them replaced without having to dig them up. Were standing by with a bulldozer in case the securities cant be replaced, Metts said Saturday.

RALEIGH (AP)Connoiseurs of legislative battle are eagerly anticipating the bloodletting as North Carolinas banks and insurance agents prepare to go at it for what might be termed the heavyweight lobbying championship of North Carolina.
The two business groups will be fighting over uncounted thousands of dollars in insurance business. But it is a battle in which consumers have little or no direct interest.
The insurance agents have proposed legislation that would prohibit banks and their subsidiaries from selling fire and casualty insurance.
The agents associations have raised, according to executive vice president Richard Brantley, more than $50,000 to finance their fight. Part of it has gone to pay for full-page newspaper adverisements. Some of the rest has purchased the services of Fred M. Fritz

EXTENDED WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR N. C.
Fair Wednesday and Thursday with chance of showers Friday. Colder Wednesday, warming trend Friday.
NEW YORK (AP) Back in the mid-1950s, Mike Wallace ran a feisty local TV interview show in which he seemed more prosecutor than reporter and each weeks guest more victim than wpling participant.
The Wallace approach has mellowed since then. But his CBS interview Sunday with former top White House aide H.R. Haldeman unexpectedly showed flashes of the make-em-sweat Wallace,, style of old.
The result was a fascinating kind of cat-and-mouse game with Haldeman, the strong-willed Californian who once was Richard M. Nixons main man and now is appealing viction on Watergate coyer-up charges. j.
Many newsmen tend to be deadpan when interviewing folks. Not Wallace in Sundays show. At times he was visibly incredulous, and his voice occasionally became very soft, much in the manner of a district attorney hoping for the blurted answer that convicts the defendant.
But Haldeman, a handsome man who spoke in pleasant, well-modulated tones, didnt blurt and seemed to lose his composure only once.
That was when Wallace quoted former White House aide John D. Ehrlichman as telling him, that you (Haldeman) undertook, the Nixon White House undertook to pay expenses of the Watergate burglars out of compassion.
Haldeman, slightly angered, shook his head and replied: He did not tell you that the Nixon White House undertook to do it. He told you that the Committee to Re-elect the President undertook to do it. Otherwise, there seemed no strong reactions by Haldeman to the Wallace probing. It was fascinating to hear Haldeman discuss Nixon and Watergate, but he wasnt startled into making startling admissions.
It was highly interesting that he said he once felt the Watergate tapeswhich brought down the Nixon administrationshould have been destroyed once it appeared Nixon couldnt keep them private.
But Haldeman, who later said he recommended against this, wasnt asked why he initially
felt the tapes should have been destroyed.
Nor was he asked for his opinion on why at one time then-President Nixon raised the question of whether the tapes ought not to be destroyed.
Still, it was an absorbing hour, culled out of more than 6'2 hours of filmed interviews conducted by Wallace on March 4 and 5 at Haldemans home in the fashionable Hancock Park section of Los Angeles.
CBS next Sunday will air a second Haldeman interview with other material from that two-day question period, a con- It says the show includes Hal
demans home movies of the Nixon years, and his replies to questions ranging from what Nixon thought of the late J. Edgar Hoover to whom Haldeman thought was Deep Throat, the unknown White House insider who so greatly helped the Washington Post investigation of the Watergate case.
The network has said it paid Haldeman for the interviews, but denies accusations it engaged in checkbook journalism by doing so. It wont reveal the amount, but published estimates range from $25,000 to $50,000.

Cf'U'bratp 10 Years of service to Pitt County -o and -.urroundinq areas ^
Mills of Wadesboro.
Mills is a veteran of four terms in the legislature. He was Gov. Bob Scotts legislative lobbyist and served briefly as Secretary of Transportation. He will not say what his fee is.
The Mills style is jocular and informal. He makes his contacts at lunch, at post-session parties, aiK wherever he can find a legislative ear to bend.
Opposing Mills is another former legislator, John Jordan of Raleigh, counsel to the bankers association. Jordans style is like a bankers. He wears conservative suits and furnishes his office in early American antiques. He will not say what his services cost.
Mills, in an interview, said banks have an unfair advantage when their insurance companies can approach customers at the time they close a mortgage.. The pressure is subtle. When a man is going to loan you money, hes got you.
He said that in the past few years, banks have increased their share of the market from about 2 per cent to 12-15 per cent. No one appears to know exactly how much money is involved.
Jordan said there is no evidence that banks have coerced anyone to buy from a bank-owned insurance company. He is calling the agents proposal a blatant attempt to establish a monopoly.
Because much of their business is regulated at the state level, the banking and insurance industries, along with utilities, are considered to have two of the strongest lobbies at the legislature. They are gearing up to make them even stronger this year.
Both are aiming their initial afforts at members of the House Insurance Committee, where the bill is under consideration. Both rely on more than just their men in the legislative building.
Rep. Marilyn Bissell, R-Mecklenburg, for example, has
received half a dozen personal letters from bankers in and around her district. Several have asked to take her to lunch fo explain their side of the bill.
Most of the letters are respectful and polite in tone, but one of the bankers told Mrs. Bissell, Im sure you will vote right on this issue. She said (hat annoyed her.
Many of the 5,000 insurance agency employes in the state have contacted their representatives with similar letters. In part. Mills said, the issue will be decided by whether the banker back home or the agent back home has more personal clout with his legislative ^epre-sentatives.
Each legislator will consider, in addition to letters, his personal biases and professional affiliations, as well as the campaign contributions he has received from bankers and insurance agents.
Both industries are involved in political action committees which donate money to legislative candidates.
Insurance Commissioner John Ingram takes a jaundiced view of the entire affair. This is a fight between two special interest groups with no benefit to the consumer, he said.
The banks say consumers would lose the convenience of one-stop shopping if the bill were enacted. The agents say they are insurance experts and give better service. But both agree that consumers will pay the same rates no matter whom they buy from.
Because of that, many legislators are preparing to enjoy the fireworks as the two sides square off. In a way it will be interesting, but I hope it doesnt distract people from issues which are of direct public concern, said one legislator.
A survey of ten legislators found that eight believe the banks will win the fight. I cant remember them losing anything important around here, said one.

DEAR ABBY: I am employed at a very large convalescent home. One of the elderly residents here lost her dentures, so with a pillow case in hand, she crept into the rooms of the other occupants while they were sleeping, and picked up each pair of false teeth from the water glasses. She then returned to her room and tried each set until she found one that fit her. She then sneakily returned any set of teeth to the water glasses. '
The next morning, everyone was walking around the place with overbites and underslug jaws, complaining bitterly that their dentures didn't fit!
How do we straighten out this mess? Or must we buy new dentures for 100 residents?
DENTURE DILEMMA
DEAR DILEMMA: Call in a dentist and ask him to examine the mouths of the patients and the dentures, in order to return them to their rightful owners. I am told that denture-marking kits are available. Get one, and use it, before another teeth thief gums up the works again.
DEAR ABBY: What do the experts say about children sleeping with their parents in case of divorce? Please be explicit.
1 have been keeping company with a 44-year-old divorced man for three years. He has three daughters, aged 13, 11 and 8, and he feels it is all right for them to sleep with him until the age of 10 or 11. I dont.
When the girls visit him overnight, they ask to sleep with him, and he sees nothing wrong with it. The 11-year-old

The business meeting was conducted by Mrs. Murad. Landscape chairman, Mrs. Charles Gilbert, discussed plans for the work days at the clubs garden at Elm Street Park. Project chairmen, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Mattox, will make plans for the clubs annual project for next fall.

shared his bed until only recently, and the 8-year-old still does. The little one is seeing a psychologist weekly, and her mother is seeing a psychiatrist regularly, which I hope is beneficial to both.
My friend is a very kind and sensitive man who would not intentionally hurt anyone, but 1 feel that he is off his mark with regard to bed-sharing. What do you say?
WANTS TO KNOW
DEAR WANTS: I agree that a father should not encourage daughters of this age to share his bed. Not only could this have conscious (or unconscious) sexual overtones for the father as well as for the daughters, but it also tends to foster a dependency in the children that is not in their best interests.
The fact that one of the daughters is in therapy underscores these points, but they could be equally true for the daughter not in therapy. At the very least, I would expect that this well-meaning" father would check this matter out with his daughter's therapist.

'Indicator' For Future Coses
The U.S. Supreme Court took an interesting position in striking down a Social Security law which authorizes survivors benefits only for a widow of a deceased worker, with children.
The law denied the same benefits to a widower and the Supreme Court ruled that this was unconstitutional.
The court said the Constitution forbids the gender-based differentiation that results in the efforts of women workers, required to pay Swial Security taxes, producing less protection for their families than is produced by the efforts of men. Even though this particular ruling was in favor of the men, it was regarded as a major victory for equal rights for women supporters.
The provision was put in at a time, of course, when it was considered proper for the woinan to stav home and the man to provide the living lor Ins family. If a woman did work, it was assumed that upon her death the husband would be the prime

support for the family and thus should not draw on her account. In practice it might not work out that way. It could be the husband was disabled and the wife was the main support for the family.
The ruling will be significant to the relatively few who find themselves in this particular position, since a widower with children will be able to qualify on his wifes Social Security account.
The ruling has significance in a broader sense in that it is an indication of how the U.S. Supreme Court will rule in the future on cases where the law might possibly discriminate on the basis of sex. Judging from this ruling we can assume that the court will hold that the law cannot discriminate on the basis of sex. Interestingly this is what the Equal Rights Amendment now pending ratification before several State Legislatures provides. Based on this relatively narrow case, it appears that the Supreine Court will be holding that the Constitution already provides this protection.
Tax Laws On Firm Ground
By BILL NOBLITT RALEIGH - North Carolina has a good mix of tax laws not in need of major tampering, a special senate commission has decided.
State Senator J. Russell Kirby of Wilson chaired the lengthy review of revenue laws, the first such in-depth study and report ever made.
A key finding of the study is that major revision of tax lawespecially the much-debated repeal of the sales tax on foodwould not greatly benefit the taxpayers, and would upset the well-functioning tax machinery.
Kirby, who in the last session of the General Assembly worked for a proposal to repeal the food tax, says his work on the tax law commission has changed his mind. We need to keep the tax on food. Repeal would not provide the type of relief needed . . . would create complex administrative problems . . . and would be a {M-oblem for local governments collecting the one-cent optional tax which would be affected by a state repeal. Give Rebate Kirby said the most effective way to accomplish the aim of aiding low income
families would be through a direct credit against income taxes paid, or a payment by (he state directly to those who do not earn enough income to even pay state income taxes.
A proposal is now being worked out to provide a state rebate in lieu of repeal of the sales tax, with each person in a family being credited with a $14 annual rebate, the amount which tax experts figure is equal to the average amount spent on the food tax.
The state rebate, Kirby said, should be limited to families with income below $15,000 per year.
feucli a scheme would eliminate the monstrous problems which tax officials . see in repeal of the food tax: how to collect from the grocery stores and other retail outlets the taxes collected on non-food items sold; long lines at checkouts as clerks try to figure which items are taxed and which are not ; the question of the local penny would remain on &-food while the states three cents is removed, etc.
Three other minor adjustments are also recommended in the tax document produced by the Kirby commission; an income tax
deduction for working mothers who must pay for child care; a doubling of the exemptions involved in figuring inheritance taxes; and removal of the state exemption for income tax purposes on dividends from corporation headquartered in this statea measure once passed to encourage investment in North Carolina firms.
Remove Limits The only other major step called for is removal of the present upper limits on regular sales taxes, so that expensive automobiles, airplanes, boats, etc., would require a full tax payment. Some $5.5 million in state revenue would result.
A key finding of the Kirby commission is that the wide spread of taxes now collected keeps the impact from hitting any one category of taxpayers, and while percentage figures show a regressiveness in sales tax collections (low income people pay more of their income in sales taxes), the actual dollars collected in the various income levels show a different picture.
Additionally, the Commission concluded that the
popular notion that placing a high tax burden on corporations and businesses because they are impersonal and have the money is a false approach; the customers and stockholders (individuals) end up paying the bill.
As a result of the study, Kirby thinks that for the first time the state has a collection of solid information on the entire tax pcture so that future plans can be more accurately worked out.
I say we have a pretty good system. It is basically a solid set of revenue laws that do the job, and pay the bills. You dont find North Carolina in financial trouble like some other states. Every citizen of this state should take his hat off tot he legislators of the ' 1920s and 1930s who devised this system and built in the safeguards against deficit spending.
Looking ahead, Kirby is convinced that the system is solid enough that the next 10 years will see the revenue system in substantially the same shape it is today . . . future legislatures may pick some small things to change as years go by, but basically we have a good system.

Kissinger And Passover
WASHINGTON In a few days the Jewish people will celebrate Passover, and they will tell their children the story once again of how Moses led his people out of Egypt.
A group of us were speculating the other night on what would have happened if Henry Kissinger had been in charge of the negotiations between Moses and the Pharaoh.
Kissinger, in lus ix-ivate
chariot, would arrive at the desert headquarters of Moses and say, We hear you have plans underfoot which could upset the peace in this area and were very concerned about it. Ive come to see if I can negotiate a lasting settlement between you and the Pharaoh.
Moses says, There is nothing to negotiate. I want to lead my people out of Egypt. I will speak to the Pharaoh, Kissinger says.
and get back to you. Kissinger takes off for Egypt, where he is greeted at the chariot port by the Pharaoh who kisses him on both cheeks. They go directly to the palace where Henry relates his conversation with Moses.

The INSIDE REPORT
Thieu'sDesperateGamble
______Sir Robert from American advisers.
By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON U. S. officials were neither consulted nor alerted by President Nguyen Van Thieu before he suddenly pulled South Vietnamese troops out of the Central Highlands, so that policymakers here were stunned along with the rest of the world.
Had they been asked, most U.S. experts would have given cautious approval to Thieus gamble (though one Vietnamese specialist here privately considers the withdrawal precipitous and bearing grave risks). The fact that they were not asked completes the end of asked completes the end of Washingtons tutorship over Saigon but also carries more sinister connotations; resentment in Saigon that Congress has doomed South Vietnam to destruction.
Thieu abandoned a number of provinces in hope that the.
accelerating Communist offensive by North Viet-' namese regulars might be contained if Saigon constricts its lines. Behind that hope is the reality of reduced U. S. military aid now and into the future. Indeed, North Vietnams offensive was clearly prompted by the mood on Capitol Hill. Just as presidential intervention saved South Vietnam from the Communists in 1965, congressional disengagement may deliver the country over to Hanoi in 1975.
Todays South Vietnamese army (ARVN) bears no faint resemblance to the
demoralized rabble saved from destruction by President Johnson a decade ago. Sen. Henry M. Jacksons attempt to justify his new dovishness with his
astonishing statement that the ARVN will not fight is unanimously rejected by . first-hand observers.

authority. Sir Robert Thompson, came through Washington recently after a Vietnamese visit declaring Saigons best outfits marines, airborne, the 1st and 2nd ARVN divisions better than any Western troops today, including Americans. Dovish Rep. Paul N. McCloskey, Jr., of California, a Marine infantry officer in Korea, was surprised by the high caliber of ARVN units he visited this month.
Thus, Thieus puUout is not comparable to the inglorious retreats of Chiang Kai-Sheks non-fighting Chinese divisions in 1949. Rather, it is an undersupplied army trying to counter its fully siq>plied foe by concentrating forces. Such an in-gathering was privately predicted to Assistant Secretary of State Philip Habib when he accompanied visiting Congressmen to Vietnam two weeks ago.
But neither Habib nor any other official was prepared for Thieus move, so out of character with past attitudes in the presidential palace. Gen. Thieu formerly rejected sound recommendations
from American advisers, particularly the late John Paul Van, that indefensible outposts in the Central Highlands north of Kontum be abandoned. Thieu refused to give up real estate without a battle.
Today, however, he is giving up Kontum (scene of many past sieges) and Pleiku before any fight. Thieu apparently sees heavy North Vietnamese artillery and armor used to capture the provincial capital of Ban Me Thuot in the highlands soon being deployed against Kontum.
Although Communist operations are officially described here as a high point, they look like a full-fledged offensive to the Saigon high command. Besides the., 968th North Vietnamese division coming into the Kontum sector from Laos, elements of two more regular divisions the 341st and the 316th have crossed over from North Vietnam. Hanois acceleration of conscription and training suggests more units mi the way.

I want to share some thoughts by David Jon Hill. He said;
The rut worn by the rat race grows ever deeper. Sameness and routine strangely dominate in an era of dynamic change unprecedented in the history of mankind. Standardization, the assembly line, and modulism are paradoxically the by-words in an era when the capacity for variety has reached an apex for even the commonest of men
Why not be DIFFERENT?
Im not talking about being different by putting on the uniform of some turned-off rebel. Instead, be different in a positive, exhilarating and personally satisfying manner, productive both to yourself and society around you.
For Starters;
Put the TV in the garage and get reacquainted with your family. Try it for a whole week. You can do it!
Read a book, any book, all the way through. If you want to really be different, make that book the Bible.
Break a habit, any habit. Youve been telling yourself you can quit smokinganytimeyou want Do it for a month. Then shed the habit permanently.
Make this week a be-nice-to-your-wife week. Bring her home some flowers, buy her a small gift take her out to dinner.
Strike up a conversation in an elevator. Next time somebody throws an insult at you in traffic or the cafeteria line, throw them back a big smile and say, ThanksI needed that!
Most of all, if you want to really be different find out if there isnt some real purpose to all this chaos we call life.
Turn around and swim upstream against the current of the society around you.
Try it, youll like it.

The Pharaoh is adamant.
I cant let the Hebrews go, because if I did there would be no one to make my bricks. Tell Moses Im willing to be reasonable, but Im not going to let his people go. I do not wish to go down in history as the first Pharaoh to free his slaves.
But, Kissinger says, suppose my country supplied you with bricks? Would you be willing to compromise then?
Henry, the Pharaoh says, patting him on the knee, I trust you, but I dont trust the Hebrews.
Henry leaves the palace, where he is surrounded by scribes waiting to chisel the results of his talk on their stone tablets. He tells them, I had very full and frnk talks with the Pharaoh, and I am optimistic that a suitable accommodation can be reached.
He gets back in his chariot and speeds off to see Moses. When he tells Moses what the Pharaoh said, the Jewish leader becomes angry. If the Pharaoh does not let my people go, I shall visit ten plagues on him, the likes of

Brazil Divorce 'Agony'
By ROBERT E. SULLIVAN RIO DE JANEIRO (UPI) -Sen. Nelson Carneiro, weary from a 24-year uphill struggle, said for possibly the 10,000th time that he is not against |
religion or the family. ,
Carneiro was discussing his latest bill to legalize divorce in Brazil. It is expected to be the most controversial piece of
legislation before the current session of the Brazilian congress. In an interview, Carneiro slipped into the defensive almost from habit;
I dont want to offend anyones sacraments. The bill will not break up any homes.
The measure would eliminate a part of the constitution that says marriages are indissoluble. It would allow divorce after five years of legal or ten years of de facto separation.
It is Carneiros sixth bill on the subject since 1951. Four others never got out of committee and the fifth was voted down.
Carneiro thinks the fruit is ripe this year since divorce has become a subject of public debate and was an issue in last Novembers congressional elections. One successful candidate ran on a one-word slogan; Divorce.
Carneiro said his bill only applies to the civil contract of marriage, adding that those who consider the religious sacramant of matrimony forever binding may continue to do so.
God is not present at a civil wedding ceremony of an atheist performed by another atheist. Carneiro, 60, married, the father of a young girl, said the biggest opposition to the bill comes from'the Roman Catholic church and its friends in congress.
About 93 per cent of Brazils 105 million population is Catholic.
The National Conference of Brazilian Bishops said in a recent statement its position cannot be different from the official position of the Catholic church. Christs teaching is> vcry. clear; What God has joined together let no man put asunder.
A spokesman for the bishops said the church wont sit with its arms crossed in the divorce debate.
Carneiro said the church lives with divorce legislation in France, Belgium, Portugal, Mexico, Italy, Peru and Uruguay and has not lost the spiritual leadership of those people.
Brazilian law allows legal separation. It also provides full legal protection and recognition for the children and spouses of a broken marriage and any second or third nonlegal unions, Carneiro said he has advocated divorce for the past 24 years to remove what he calls a stigma borne by the children of nonlegal unions.
But a woman with children born out of wedlock said, Thats ridiculous. Theres no stigma on the children. Since theres no divorce in this country, everybody is living with someone they are not married to.
The system applies to all classes, the very rich as well as the poor.
She said she was in favor of Carneiros bill, however, and would get a legal divorce if possible.

By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) At midafternoon the flower seller outside the commuter station is selling roses for $2 a bunch, 12 to the bunch. At 5 p.m. the price is the same but the bunch now consists of four roses.
This salesman is only doing what thousands of other hardpressed entrepreneurs are attempting-disguising price increases.
A medium-price^-restaurant is forced out of business by its inability to keep prices moderate. A month later, after a name change and redecorating, it opens as a high-class affair, seemingly justifying higher prices. The foods the same.
Another restaurant with a long tradition of fixed price dinners goes a la carte. Individually, the price of each a la carte item doesnt seem too
high, but the bill adds up to a lot more.
Government statisticians who compile the Consumer Price Index attempt to adjust their figures for changes in quality and quantity, but a suspicion exists that so widespread are disguised price increases that theyre not geting them all.
Shrinking the size of the product remains the most typical disguise, practiced most noticeably by candy bar makers but also ty car makers, ice cream scoo{)ers, sandwich makers, bartenders and home builders.
Does the latest house in your development seem a bit smaller than the ones built earlier? Surely your eyes must be deceiving, you say, but it does seem a bit smaller, although it is precisely the same in all details.
Youre right Some builders simply shrank the size of
their product to hold the price line. The same designs, the same s()ecificatioris, but an end product a foot or two smaller in almost every dimension.
Some sellers simply give up attempting to hold down prices. They might, like some candy manufacturers, feel they have shrunk the size of their product to an unshrinkable minimum, and so they go in for a whopping increase.
To make the big price increase seem justified, these candy makers at the same time enlarge size of their bar. But whereas the price might double, the contents are en larged only 1.5 times.
Occurring throughout the market place are practices quite similar to the a la carte for fixed prices substitution; Standard equipment and services become extras for which there is an added
charge.
With energy costs so high, for example, landlords are detaching electricity from the rent payment. By putting in separate meters they now turn that responsibility over to the renter.
Car makers pioneered the technique of upgrading standard equipment to the special accessory category,. for which an additional price is paid, but they have plenty of company today.
Do you remember when the clothipg store delivered merchandise gratis? Even in some fine stores that seek to keep their published prices from rising, you might pay a special delivery charge today.
Some sellers, of course, re-iort to using inferior materials and in^edients, but over a ()eriod of a year or more this tends to boomerang^ and eventually sales.

A recent poll by the Brazilian Institute of Public Opinion and Statistics showed 74 per cent of the persons questioned in the Rio area favor a divorce law. Carneiro said he thinks the nationwide percentage is even higher.
Carneiros opposition Brazilian Democratic Movement has championed divorce more than has the pro-government Alliance for National Renewal but Carneiro said the issue crosses party lines. He claims support in both camps.
He expects his bill to be opposed in parliamentary maneuvers by a bloc of conservative Catholic congressmen, but if it reaches the floor, Carneiro said:
It will pass, because of the pressure from the constituents.

Thats a lot of plagues, Kissinger says. I dont think the Pharaoh will accept more than five.
Ten, says Moses as he throws down his shepherds staff and it turns into a serpent.
Wow, says Kissinger.
Ive never seen that miracle before. The next time I come Im bringing Nancy.
That night Kissinger returns by chariot to the Pharaohs palace where a big banquet is being given in his honor. He tells the Pharaoh of Moses proposal.
Hes threatening ten plagues, but I think I can get him down to seven, Kissinger says.
I wont accept more than three plagues, the Pharaoh replies. If Moses insists on holding firm I shall kill all the Israelites.
As Kissinger leaves the palace he tells the scribes,
The talks are going very well, and I believe the major obstacles have been overcome.
But when he reports to Moses, the Jewish prophet becomes furious. The plagues are not negotiable. If I do not stick to the ten, I will never get my people out of Egypt.
If you gave up locusts, flies, hail and fire, Kissinger says, you would still have placues of darkness, cattle, riV^s and frogs, not to mention the big one on the Egyptians firstborn. That should give you more than enough security. By the way, what are you going to do if you do get the Hebrews out of

(he offensive is obvious. Hoc Tap, the North Vietnamese theoretical monthly, in January correctly predicted the inability of the United States to continue its military and economic aid as it did previously because of its difficulties. To exploit that, it called for attacking the enemy on all fronts.
The best response by Saigon would be, say knowledge ble U.S. officers, a combined air-ground strike in the highlands by fighter-bombers and airborne units. But todays lack of fuel and ammunition, likely to get worse instead of better, prevents direct action.
Thieus alternative is to abandon a lightly populated area poor in rice. Its a good physical solution, considering the problem, one U. S.
Vietnam-watcher told us.Its the psychological problem that worries me. That is, will abandoning the Central Highlands be perceived throughout South Vietnam as a signal that all is lost?
So, President Thieu is taking a gamble, even if a necessary one. But necessary or not, there is no criticism f from Washington. After ARVN troops had won the war in 1972 (in the opinion of Sir Robert Thompson and other experts), Thieu was forced into signing a peace
* treaty with no safeguards against Hanoi pouring reinforcements into the South. With Moscow and Peking generous in military aid, those reinforcements roll down from the North without fear of bomber attack to fight ARVN units crippled by U.S. aid cutbacks. Thieus gamble was spawned in Washington.

Moonshiners In Singapore
By CARL P. LECBSDORF
Associatted Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) Senate and House conferees are meeting to iron out differences between their versions of a multibillion-dollar tax cut amid predictions that Congress will complete action on a compromise measure by Wednesday.
The final package to be sent to President Ford will total somewhere between the $19.9 billion in cuts voted by the House and the $33.1-billion package voted by the Senate. It also may include a provision ending the controversial oil depletion allowance for major producers, lawmakers agreed.
White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen, speaking Sunday on CBS Face the Nation, said Ford has not ruled out the possibility a veto, although he will not decide until he sees the final bill.
Nessen indicated that some of the amendments to the tax bills were causing some concern to the President.
If they do send it up (to the White House) with amendments which have not been considered and which dont have anything to do with a clean and simple antirecession tax cut, he has not ruled out a veto, Nessen said.
Ford previously has come out against repealing the oil depletion allowance. Such a repeal, in varying forms, has been in
cluded in both the Senate and House tax-cut bills.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman A1 Ullman, appearing on ABCs Issues and Answers, said many amendments in the Senate version
cannot be justified and predicted the conferees would eliminate many Senate additions.
Ford held three meetings Sunday with his economic advisers and congressional lead
ers to talk about the tax-cut bills.
After meeting with Treasury Secretary William E. Simon, economic adviser Alan Greenspan and others. Ford met

alone with Ullman, and then met with Simon and two Republican congressional leaders.
The congressional conferees arranged to meet early today to speed action. Congressional leaders insist neither house will begin Easter recesses until the bill is on its way to the White House.
Ullman told reporters he expects a long, tough conference on the tax-cut bill but confidently predicted a bill by Wednesday.
In the Senate, Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said the prospects are good that they (the conferees) will be able to get together by Wednesday because they face Holy Week recess deadlines.
The Senate version of the tax bill, passed in the wee hours Saturday on a 60-29 vote, provides most taxpayers with a rebate of their 1974 taxes of between $120 and $240, gives every Social Security recipient a $100 bonus payment, reduces the 1975 taxps of virtually all individuals by $40 and provides additional relief for families under the $20,000 gross income level that itemize deductions.
In addition to $25.7 billion in tax cuts for individuals, the Senate bill provides a $7.4-bil-lion reduction for businesses.

It offsets the reductions somewhat by repealing $3.8 billion in tax breaks for corporations, mainly large oil companies.

SINGAPORE (AP) Inflation is driving up the cost of distilling samsu but the moonshiners who make it still give the government a headache.
Illicit distilleries are spread far and wide throughout the island. Moonshiners constantly shift their distilling spots to avoid detection, said Customs Officer Tan Sin Ghee.
Samsu is the local white lightning, poor mans booze with an alcoholic kick twice as strong as beer at one-third the price.
Poured as a libation, its said to please the ancestral spirits. Blended with herbs, some believe it assures longevity. Mixed with snakes, it is used in the hope of. improving sexual powers. Stir it into paint and you can apply it to furniture.
Samsu is distilled from parboiled rice, brown sugar, yeast and water. It smells like rotten pineapples and tastes like shellac.
One official estimated that 30 moonshiners are active in supplying some 50 samsu dens on this island republic about the size of Chicago. He said these dives are mostly in low income areas where imbibers favor the potent rice liquor because its relatively inexpensive at 30 to 40 cents (U.S. 13 to 17 cents) per small glass.
Daily patrols by Customs agents helped by tipsters and the increasing costs of raw materials have hurt the moonshiners. Gk)ne are the days, some 17 years ago, when samsu-maf-ing was so widespread that businessmen considered it a threat to Singapores two licensed distilleries.
Illicit distillers here use roughly the same technique as moonshiners elsewhere.
Rice, sugar, yeast and water are dumped into 44-gallon drums of uncertain cleanliness to ferment. Experts attribute samsus distinctive flavor, not to mention fragments of lead, arsenic and\|errous oxide, to the homemade stills.
Officials condemn the product as unhygienic because of the conditions in which its prepared and because-the water is often impure.
Moonshine technology here has advanced in. recent years, say the experts. Wood fires were formerly used as heat for distilling, and CXistoms men said they could home in on the smoke. Now gas pressure heaters are employed and agents are occasionally able to pick up the noise of hissing gas.
A hard core of moonshiners keeps the samsu industry go
ing, Customs men say, starting anew after each bust because it costs relatively little to get back in business.
Only a couple of hundred dollars (about $85 U.S.) are needed as an initial investment. Each 44-gallon drum of mash can yield an average eight gallons of 60 to 75 proof samsu. The distiller sells this for about nine dollars (U.S. $3.90) a gallon. He nets about S$2.50 (about U.S. $1.08) on each gallon.
First, offqnse penalties may include a fine ten times what the official duty would be for the fermented mash and finished product.

RALEIGH (AP)An Army helicopter has pulled two Garner men from the rapidly flowing waters of the Neuse River after their small boats overturned.
The duo, Ed Livesay and Tom Strickland, each spent about 90 minutes clinging to logs snagged in thick plant growth near the banks of the rapid river.
Helicopters called in from Ft Bragg performed the recue mission. Both appeared unhurt.
The theory, many psychiatrists believe, that there is a fine line between mental health and mental illness will be examined this spring on National Educational Television. A five-part series, The Thin Edge begins next Monday, at 8 p.m. and may be viewed on Channel 25 in this area.
The series will probe depression, anxiety, guilt, aggression and sexuality. It will show how each of these mood-states is a necessary and normal part of every persons mental make-up, and explain how each of these can become a mental problem.
Immediately following the national presentation, UNC-TV will show a locally produced series Mental Health-Mind and Matter. These will examine various aspects of mental health programs in North Carolina.

How do you decide whether to plapi corn or soybeans in 1975? This may be a crucial decision for many farmers. Economists predict that harvest time prices for both crops will be considerably lower than in 1974 and that the cost of production will be higher.
Assuming a good crop year in the United States, corn is expected to range between $2.25-$2.75 per bushel. Soybeans are expected to drop to $4.50-$5.50 per bushel. Both are dependent, to a large degree, on weather conditions between now and harvest.
On the cost side, farm management specialists at N. C. State University estimate the variable cost to produce an acre of corn at $121.69. (That assumes $197 per ton for 10-20-20 fertilizer and $180 per ton for 30 percent nitrogen solution.) Add fixed costs of $20.93 (tractors, combines. interest, taxes, etc.) and the total cost is $142.62 per acre.
Soybeans are estimated to have a variable cost of $72 per acre and a fixed cost of $17. The total cost, therefore, is $89 per acre. (Other items such as value
Critical Of Fund-Raisers
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)-North Carolina state officials have criticized the Southern Poverty Law Center for the amount of money it spends on fund raising.
The law center, headquartered in Montgomery, Ala., is participating in the defense of Joanne Little, accused in the icepick slaying of a Beaufort County jailer last year.
The state Department of Human Resources, which licenses charitable fund-raising organizations in the state, said the center spent 40 per cent of the $743,000 it raised last year on solicitation. It spent 28 per cent on legal programs.
Ed J. Edgerton, special assistant for solicitation licensing, said the center must raise the amount spent on legal fees to W per cent to retain its temporary license in North Carolina.
Michael Fidlow, a spokesman for the center, said it had not responded to Edgertons letter, pending a review of its records. Reduction of fund-raising costs and an increase in program expenditures were commendable goals, p-idlow said.
of land, return to management and profit should be considered but would be about the same for either crop.)
With the costs thus estimated, a farmer can project expected returns. The difference gives a reasonable basis for making the decision as to which crop to plant.
As an example, we will assume that a farmer expects to harvest 100 bushels of corn from the acre that cost $142 to produce. If he can sell it at $2.50 per bushel, he will gross gross $250. With production expenses deducted, he has $2.50 per bushel, he will gross $250. With production expenses deducted, he has $108 return for land, management, and profit. If that same farmer could expect to produce 30 bushels soybeans per acre and receive $5 per bushel, he would gross $150. When production expenses of $89 per acre are deducted, the returns to land, management, and profit would be $61.
It is obvious that variations in expected yields or prices would change the relative positions of the crops. Most farmers should base their estimates of yields on historic averages. Outlook information about supply and demand, crop forecasts, and futures markets are good sources of price expectations.
Others factors are important in this decision. Crop rotations, capital requirements, diversification, and availability of inputs should be considered. The value of the crop residue as a plant nutrient source might be a deciding factor. At any rate, the use of enterprise budgets provide a guide to sound decision making.
If you want more information about corn or soybean budgets and how to use them, contact the Pitt County Agricultural Extension Office in Greenville.

North Carolina.s top agricultural research administrator believes American agriculture could be on the verge of its first truly golden age.
The next 10 or 15 years could be (he first time in the history of American agriculture that farmers obtain an income on par with other segments of society, .said J. C. Williamson Jr., director of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station.
William.son, an economist, bases his o))timism on the purchasing power of consumers in other nations and the need for the United States to export agricultural products in order to pay for f>il and other imports.
Historically, the income of farm people has lagged behind that of non-farmers. J'he lag over the last decade or two has averaged 20 tf) 25 percent.
But, William.son commented, Americas farm population has become smaller and more mobile. They either will get a rate of return comparable to non-farmers or theyll quit farming.
While William.son is generally optimistic about agricultures future, he predicts that fanners wall face a very difficult time during some years. He also believes that farmers are being asked to assume too much of the risk in an all-out production elTort.
Its a fallacy to assume that American agriculture operates in a free market, at least in the international level. In the short run, our level of farm exports is determined mostly hy the policies of foreign governments, anrl not necessarily by the law of supply and demand.
A foreign government can buy our farm products to feed its people, build stockpiles, or to use as a weapon. And such decisions can wreak havoc with farmers on a short-run basis.
If we are to expect our farmers to do their best in supplying overseas markets, then we must reduce some of the risks. This means that the government needs a better mechanism for insuring fair returns to farmers than the current target price concept.
Williamson, whose headquarters is at North Carolina State University, believes the United States must also rediscover the importance of production-type research if agriculture is to realize its golden age.
We were embarrassed a few years ago to spend money on research to increase agricultural yields, because it would only add to the surpluses. But. now production research is needed, and we must have it if we are going to meet our owm food needs, earn the foreign exchange that w'e must have and produce food to help insure against famine in the developing nations.

Ready Probe IRS Action
WASHINGTON (AP) - A congressional panel is about to begin hearings on alleged invasions of citizens rights by the Internal Revenue Service while other investigators also look into the charges.
We were shocked to hear the extent to which citizens rights were invaded, apparently needlessly, by tax collectors and agents, said Rep. Charles A. Vanik, D-Ohio, whose investigations subcommittee will begin hearings Wednesday.
Vanik said the first item to be investigated is what he termed the leprechaun project in which the IRS is accused of spending public funds to conduct surveillance on private citizens and allegedly hiring outside persons to report on taxpayers.
'The operation involved gathering information on about 30 persons including federal judges and a Florida supreme court justice, according to both the Miami News and Herald. A

pistols stolen from the store, according to Cannon. Another weapon, a .45 caliber automatic, was found later in a ravine east of Reade Street, along the path taken by the fleeing robbers.
Cannon said entrance to the store, which has been hit by gun-seeking robbers ^three other times in the past few years, was gained by breaking a front window. The pistols were removed from a display case near the broken window.
Bloodhounds were used to track the robbers, but the trail ended near Second Street, East of the Reade Street intersection.
According to Cannon, the seven weapons recovered by police were the only pistols reported taken in the robbery.

Ullman said Sunday that the possible experiment with state allocation programs would be a means of putting our (tax) program in place. Once the allocation program breaks down, you trigger in the gasoline tax. Theres a possibility of doing that, he said.
Ullmans committee has been negotiating with Federal Energy Administrator Frank G. Zarb to reach a compromise between congressional energy programs and the oil import fee increase imposed by President Ford. Zarb said last week the administration and the Committee are in 60 per cent agreement on an energy program.
In the past Ford has strongly opposed a gasoline tax increase. Higher gasoline taxes also face some heavy Democratic opposition.
Ullman indicated the allocation plan was being considered as a compromise maneuver to win support for his gasoline tax proposals.
He disclosed that the state allocation program now under cast that there will be in- discussion would call for the creased Communist influence administration to reduce oil im-
By TERENCE HUNT Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The energy program being drafted in Congress may defer higher gasoline taxes until states first have a chance to save fuel through some type of allocation program, says Chairman A1 Ullman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
However, Ullman predicted that an allocation program is doomed to eventual failure, and higher gasoline taxes are inevitable. He has proposed a plan that would increase the gasoline tax up to 37 cents a gallon
New Cabinet In Portugal
LISBON, Portugal (AP) -Premier Vasco Goncalves has formed a new cabinet for Portugals left-wing military government that is expected to be announced within the next 24 hours, a government spokesman said today.
Political sources have fore-
among the civilians in the cabinet, though military men will continue to dominate it.
Information Minister Jorge Jesuino who reported a general agreement on the cabinet among political factions, the premier and the ruling Supreme Revolutionary Council, did not specify what the composition would be.
(kincalves called in present cabinet ministers unexpectedly today, apparently to prepare for the reshuffle. A more leftward shift in the cabinet had been expected since the government put down an attempted uprising two weeks ago that it blamed on reactionary forces led by former President Antonio de Spinola.
Another spokesman from the Information Ministry said the announcement Sunday by high military authorities of the discovery of a right-wing guerrilla organisation operating from Spain against the Portuguese government did not mean a yvorsening of relations between the two countries.
ports and then give states a specific allocation. ... Then you let the states use all the conservation measures that they can use in order to get by with what theyve got, he said.
States probably would try such techniques as closing service stations on Sunday, Ullman said on ABC-TVs Issues and Answers.
In another energy development, a congressional survey said that automatic price hikes
granted to electric and gas utilities last year because of increased fuel bills cost consumers about $6.5 billion, more than all the rate increases granted in the previous 25 years.
Fuel adjustment increases, now a common clause in most utility tariffs, represented the bulk of nearly $10 billion in rate increases granted to utilities last year, said a survey released by two Senate Government Operations subcommittees.
Elsewhere, Transportation Secretary William T. Coleman Jr. said the federal government will continue to seek enforcement of the 55-mile-an-hour speed limit. Highway deaths have been reduced by 9,400 since the 55-mile speed limit was established, Coleman said on NBC-TVs Meet the Press.

Davidson Wins Two In Upset Of ECU Pirates
DAVIDSON Davidson College propelled itself into the role of surprise contender in the Southern Conference baseball race Sunday afternoon, sweeping a doubleheader from East Carolinas defending champions, 2-1 and 6-4.
The Wildcats boosted their record to 4-4 overall and 3-0 within the conference. The other Wildcat victory came over another contender, Appalachian State.
The dual losses served to effectively knock the Pirates out of the race, as their record fell to 1-3 in the league and 4-5 overall. Unless a lot of upsets occur from here on it, it would appear the Pirates again will fail to win a Southern baseball title in an odd-numbered year, a jinx that has followed them ever since they entered the league. Except for one even-numbered year, 1972, the Bucs have taken each title ending in an even number.
The bat of Davidson first-baseman George Weicker played a big role in the game, as he slammed two home runs, driving in four runs. His first blow was the key to the initial victory, as he provided both of (he Wildcat runs. His second homer, also for two runs, provided what proved to be the winning runs also.
East Carolina got good pitching from Dean Reavis in the opening game, but they got little help from their own batters, getting just five hits. Davidson got as many, but they proved to be better placed.
The East Carolina run in the opening game came in the first inning of play, and was provided by a home run. With two out, Ron Staggs caught a 3-2 pitch
and rode it out of the park some 380 feet in right center.
The Pirates offered only one other real threat in the game. In the sixth inning, trailing 2-1, Geoff Beaston reached on an error and Steve; Bryant singled Staggs was given an intentional walk, loading them up with none out. But two popups, one to the infield and one to foul territory got two down, and a strikeout ended the threat.
Davidson got both of its runs in (he fourth inning. Mitch Stone led off the frame by reaching on an error. Gary Pomeroy sacrificed him up, and Weicker put the Cats into the lead with a 360-foot blast over the fence in left, drilling the first pitch.
That made it 2-1, the score that held. Otherwise, Davidson didnt threaten.
Reavis, in taking the loss, his first of the year, scattered five hits, no walks and struck out four.
Davidson grabbed the lead in the first inning of the second game, and never lost it. Pomeroy reached on a fielders choice that left two men out. Weicker walked and Mark Rod^man singled, driving in Pomeroy from second for a 1-0 lead.
The Wildcats added three more in the fourth. With one down, Ed Willingham singled and Billy Lynn got a hit. Bill Todd also singled, loading the bases. Dave Yearwoods hit brought in Willingham, and Dale Horner singled to drive in both Lynn and Todd for a 4-0 lead.
The Pirates finally got on the boards in the top of the fifth. With one down, Beaston singled and Bryant reached on an error. Staggs doubled to drive in
Beaston, and Glenn Card grounded out, allowing Bryant to score from third on the play.
Davidson came back with two in the bottom of the inning, and that proved the difference. Pomeroy reached on an error, and Weicker again provided the power, this time hitting it out over the 380 mark in left center; moving the score to 6-2.
The Bucs rallied for two in the seventh. With one down, Bryant walked and Staggs singled. Bobby Harrison walked to load them up, and Bruce Leary was hit by a pitch. That forced home Bryant. Joe Roenker followed with a walk, bringing in Staggs, but the rally was cut short there, leaving the Pirates still two shy of catching up.
East Carolina opens a hectic home stand this afternoon at 3 p.m. at Harrington Field, as they face the University of Maryland. Maryland will also be here for a single game Tuesday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Larry Ziegler peered at the check in his hand.
It looks okay, he said, then wiped the smile from his face and, in mock-seriousness, observed :
But I aint got it to the bank yet.
The last time he had won a golf tournament, in the 1969 Michigan Classic, he didnt get to the bank. He didnt even get a check. When the tournament was over and Ziegler was a winner, the sponsors discovered they didnt have enough money to pay off.
He got it eventually. The Tournament Players Division of the PGA paid him from their funds in two delayed installments. It won him the nickname Half-Pay Ziegler.
But it was full pay this time, $30,000 for his two-stroke victory Sunday in the Greater Jacksonville Open.
I thought somebody would come out of the pack and win

itbut I didnt think it would be me, Ziegler, 35, said after overcoming a huge field of challengers with a seven-under-par 65 in the final round over the 7,143-yard Deerwood Country Club course.
Ziegler scored his second American triumphhe also
won the Morocco Open in North Africa late last yearwith a 72-hole total of 276, 12-under-par.
The clincher was a string of holes starting on the 13th where he went birdie-par-birdie-eagle, the last on a 25-foot chip-in. Nine players, including bitterly disappointed Arnold Palmer, had led or shared the lead during the final round before Zieglers winning splurge.
assistant under (Juinn, following other coaching experience in Georgia.
But the East Carolina job was his first as a head coach, and he made the most of it, guiding the Pirates to a second place finish in the conference. During the year, the team reeled off a seven-game winning streak, longest for a Pirate team since it moved from the Carolinas Conference.
Dave has turned our
basketball program around and made a very favorable impact with the team, Athletic Director Clarence Stasavich said at the signing. He did a fine job of training and preparing our team over the past year.
Dr. Leo Jenkins, chancellor of the university, also had words of praise for Patton, saying he hoped that the coach would be a part of the University program for years to come.
Im very glad to have this opportunity, Patton said. I have always wanted to be a coach in the collegiate ranks, and I want to thank those people who stood beside me, and especially the players for the fine work they did this year.
Pattons program would appear to be on the right track. In addition to having the best record the Bucs have had as a major college team, the Pirates qualified for the National
Commissioners Invitational Tournament at the end of the
season.
Interest is up in the basketball program because of his suc
cesses, with increased attendance at the games, and a recruiting program that has already paid off with the signing of two All-Staters.

Another 'Benefit Bout' Tonight For Chomp Ali
By WILL GRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent CLEVELAND (AP) Boxing lakes a 35-mile trip over a rolling road to seeming nowehere tonight for another bizarre Muhammad Ali benefit.
You have to be here to believe it.
I am like oxygenoxygen is all over the world, bellows the bombastic Ali. Any man who challenges me is challenging the worldhe has to be out of his head.
The challenger is a big, mustachioed booze salesman named Chuck Wepner, who until a couple of months ago was little known outside the dimly lighted saloons of Bayonne, N.J.
He could be the longest shot in heavyweight title fight history. Odds have been quoted from 10-1 to 100-1. Las Vegas refuses to make book on it.
Wepner, a hulking 6-foot-5 with a reputation for facial skin that will crack like delicate china and for countless bar room brawls, appears awed by his sudden thrust into the center of boxings stage and the guarantee of a $100,000 pay check, but he gives no indication of being frozen with fright.
Ali was a great fighter once but is going downhill, he says. The champs got fast hands but slow legs. I will stop him in
the 13th.
Some of his closest associates wonder if he believes it.
Th 15-round fight, the first defense by Ali since regaining the crown with a knockout of George Foreman last October in Zaire, Africa, is part of a unique electronic doubleheader representing a $2.3 million gamble by promoters.
The show begins in New Yorks Madison Square Garden at 9:30 p.m. EDT with a creditable heavyweight matchup between Jerry Quarry and Ken Norton, guaranteed $185,000 and' $100,000 respectively, for their 12-round battle.
King Richard Far From Bored By Victory Skein
HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) Stock car racing king Richard Petty added another victory to his record total Sunday and merely chuckled at a suggestion that it might be boring to win so often.
It feels better and better every time, the popular Dodge driver said after surviving what some called a long lap count to win the Atlanta 500.
Even if it did get tiresome,
I wouldnt tell anybody anyway, said Petty, who reigs-lered his 167th career victory and lifted his lifetime earnings to $1.86 million. He won $17,000 Sunday.
Petty was breezing to a 30-second victory over Buddy Bakers Ford when the fifth caution flag of the day came out eight laps from the finish, allowing Baker to close the distance.
Pettys crew contended officials let the race go at least one extra lap and probably two, and similar sentiments were expressed by several other pit crews.
However, officials for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing insisted that only the scheduled 328 laps were run.
They messed up some place, said Petty, who finished
only six-tenths of a second ahead of Baker, who had run a distant third most of the day behind Petty and David Pearson.
When the final caution came out because of a double spinout in the second turn. Petty said his crew chief Dale Inman told him there was no way they could get the oil covered in the turn and restart the race.
But, they did. The green flag came out at the start of the final lap, with Baker maneuvering his way past nine cars to pull up just behind Petty.
I would have been disappointed if Buddy Baker had won, Petty said. He didnt race with David and me all day. If it had been Pearson there in that spot and he had won, I wouldnt have been as upset because he and I had been running in the lead all afternoon.
Pearson did, indeed, keep his Mercury ahead of the field for 142 laps, losing the lead for good 51 laps from the finish. He fell seven seconds behind Petty when he was forced to the pits 30 laps from the end because of tire trouble.
It was during that stop that Baker moved into second place, but still trailing Petty by more

Eastern Conference Atlantic Division
Sunday that brains were far better than brawn while winning the 38th National Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
This team is smart and courageous and how can you beat brains and courage? Princeton Coach Pete Carril noted with smug satisfaction after his textbook Tigers whipped the Providence Friars 80-69 in the title game.
To be sure, Sundays victory was a clinic in basketballas were Princetons first three victories in the tournament.
When Providence went into a
full<ourt press in the first half, the Tigers broke it by running with the ball. When Providence went into a zone defense in the second half, Princeton killed it by sitting on the ball.
The Tigers became the first Ivy League team in history to win the NITand they did it with stunning impact. Rarely has one team done so much with so little in a season.
I dont remember the odds ever being so big against a team Ive coached, said Carril. We lost our first-string center early in the season and we were down to 10 men, seven

NEW YORK (AP) - Jerry Quarry and Ken Norton, both hoping to be thrust back into the heavyweight championship picture by an impressive victory, clash in a 12-round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight.
The fight serves as the front half of a closed circuit double-header with Muhammad Alis heavyweight title defense against challenger Chuck Wepner completing the show.
Both Quarry and Norton see themselves as viable challengers for Alis crown, but both know tonights bout is the key to any future title chance.
Both are 29 years old, both are Californians and both carry impressive records into their bout. Norton has won 32 of 35 fights, 25 of them by knockouts. Quarry has lost only seven of 60 bouts in a pro career that started 10 years ago.
But both have been up for championship consideration before.
(Juarry was knocked out by Ali twice, both in non-title fights. Two of his other losses came against ex-champion Joe Frazier.
Norton did better in his bouts with Ali, outpointing him the first time they met and then dropping a split decision in their second bout.
Quarry, who weighed 207 pounds for tonights bout and Norton, who weighed 2W/z, are both coming into this fight off victories. Quarry outpointed Scrap Iron Johnson in a 10-rounder at Honolul a month ago, shortly after Norton had knocked out Reco Brooks in the first round at Oklahoma City.
Although it lacks the drama involved when a championship is on the line, oddsmakers believe Quarry and Norton offers the more competitive side of the doubleheader. Norton ranks as a slim favorite of about 7-5 against Quarry. Ali is a prohibitive 10-1 choice against Wepner.

In this tournament, we were in a rough |^acket. We have no advantages. We dont give basketball scholarships.

First Choice At Clemson
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., (AP) Clemson Universitys first choice to succeed Tates Locke who resigned Friday as head basketball coach, is Eddie Sutton of the University of Arkansas, a Little Rock, Ark., newspaper said Sunday.
Bill McLellan, Clemsons athletic director, called Fayetteville Saturday to ask permission of Arkansas Athletic Director Frank Broyles to talk to Sutton about the position, the Arkansas Gazette said. Assistant athletic director Lon Farrell told McLellan that Broyles wouldnt be available for comment until Sunday.
Sutton declined to talk to newsmen about the matter.
Broyles lured Sutton away from Creighton last year, signing him to the highest salary ever paid a basketball coach in the Southwest Conference.
Suttons first Arkansas team posted a 17-9 record, the most victories the team had registered in 17 years, and finished in a tie for second place in the conference race with an 11-3 record.
lina 86-67 and Oregon 58-57 en route to the championship round.
Carril and his 6-foot-8 center, Ilan Ramati, were in a gloating mood after the four-game sweep gave the Tigers 13 straight victories.
The difference between the Ivy League and the rest of the country is that it doesnt get a lot of publicity, said Carril.
Now we can laugh at all those other teams because were winners, grinned Ramati.
The Tigers took charge of the game behind Tim Van Blom-mesteyn midway through the second half. The Princeton guard scored 23 points and came off the bench to ignite a rally after intermission that provided the knockout blow over the reeling Friars.
Mickey Steuerer scored a game-high 26 points for Princeton, many of them at the end when the Tigers had the NITs silver championship cup locked up. Gary Bello led Providence with 22.
Ron Lee, who scored 31 points in leading Oregon to an 80-76 overtime victory over St. Johns in the third place game earlier Sunday, was voted the tournaments Most Valuable Player.

Multiple Sclerosis Baffles'
EDITORS NOTE; This is the fourth in a series of articles on diseases that cant be cured or prevented because scientists lack fundamental knowledge about them.
By ALTON BLAKESLEE AP Science Writer
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) Increasing circumstantial evidence is pointing to a virus or viruses as the cause of the incurable nerve disease inultiple sclerosis.
One finger of suspicion points to the ordinary measles virus. Other evidence implicates cme kind of flu virus.
If they are culprits, they would be acting as slow viruses, meaning they could hide in the body for years before becoming activated to do their damage in multiple sclerosis, or M.S.
Whatever the cause, and, it well may not be a virus, the damage is a kind of short-circuiting of nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The fatty insulating sheath, called myelin, around nerves breaks down in patches, forming scars, and impeding the normal flow of nerve impulses.
Multiple sclerosis can damage eyesight, slur speech, bring on tremors, numbness, difficulty in walking, weakness, spas-ticityn impaired bladder control and other troubles.
Attacks come and go, occasionally with long periods of remission in between, but the course is always downhill. Some 250,000 Americans are victims, and most contract M.S. between ages 20 and 40, with women more susceptible. Another 250,000 people suffer from diseases affecting nerves in a similar way.
Multiple sclerosis has long been one of the stalled diseases, with its cause, prevention or cure so far eluding all research efforts.
But with M.S. and other stalled diseases, there is optim
ism among many scientists that significant progress could soon be made.
While viruses are highly suspect as cause, another strong possibility is that something goes wrong with the bodys protective immune mechanism which defends against invading germs or viruses.
Is M.S. one of the autoimmune diseases in which the defensive mechanism turns against its own tissue? Can peculiar viruses alter the mechanism, setting it off on a selfdestructive track? Does some initial defect in the immune system allow a virus to exist in a suspended state before something triggers it?
These and other questions are being pursued in laboratories across this country and around the world.
And there are tantalizing leads.
In Philadelphia, Dr. Hilary Koprowski of the Wistar Institute and Dr. Donald H. Sil-; berberg of the University of Pennsylvania, working with Dr. V. Termuelen of the University of Gottingen, Germany, isolated a parainfluenza virus causing symptoms much like ordinary flu from brain tissue of two M.S. victims.
They found this virus by fusing, in tissue culture, genetic oaterial from the human brain tissue with genetic material from kidney cells of an African Green monkey. Out came the virus identified as parainfluenza. It had somehow become completed by this treatment.
A virus is a tiny chunk of genetic information or commands, but some need additional components to become complete or active.
Was the parainfluenza virus the cause of M.S., or just a casual visitor in the brain tissue? If it was causative, then vaccinations or other treatments might prevent M.S.
Now the Koprowski-Silber-
berg team is testing whether this virus will cause multiple sclerosis or a multiple scle-rosis-like disease after injection into newborn, germ-free primates.
Their research, like others, also is looking into another strange aspect of viruses. This is the fact that some viruses can change the surface membranes of cells, giving rise to new structures or antigens. An antigen is something that stimulates defensive antibodies against it. The new antigens produced this way can affect the growth and survival of cells, at least in tissue culture. Might they also trigger a quite different disease?
To pursue all these leads, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, based in New York, is contributing $5(X),000 and the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke some $2 million in a thre-year grant to the Wistar group.
Here on the campus of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. David A. Puccillo, in an interview, talks of slow viruses and evidence suggesting that measles might play a role in M.S. He is assistant chief of the Infectious Diseases Branch of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke.
Multiple sclerosis patients usually have a higher level of antibody against measles virus than the general population.
If measles virus is later responsible for M.S. or allied diseases, then why is it not vacuumed up by the usual immune system soon after theninitial infection. Dr. Puccillo asks. There is no answer yet.
Dr. Fuccillo points to another disease, SSPE (Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) caused by a virus that is either measles or related to it. This very rare disease causes a long-drawn infection in the brain leading to death, with initial symptoms perhaps being no more than subtle behavior
changes or discipline problems in school.
The virus in SSPE was isolated by using the cocultivation technique, mixing human brain tissue with animal tissue, as in the case of the parainfluenza virus work. Out came the complete virus. One guess is that an incomplete virus had lain smoldering for years after the initial measles infection.
Cancer researchers first started the technique of pulling out the incomplete viruses, and we were the first to try it here with slow viruses, says Dr. Puccillo. We hope that if there is an incomplete virus involved in M.S., we can pull it out.
Other researchers are looking into reasons why M.S. is relatively rare in equatorial regions, but rises in incidence in higher latitudes. People who move from a high-risk area after age 15 to a low-risk country keep their high risks. But those moving from low-risk to
high-risk areas before age 15 keep their low risk. Why?
The search continues for effective drugs against some of the terrible physical costs of M.S. Electronic devices are being experimented with to control pain or uncontrolled movements, or to achieve other effects.
Last year the National AdvU sory Commission on Multiple Sclerosis recommended a new expenditure of $18 million annually for the next three years, mostly on basis biomedical research in the neurological sciences, in hopes of turning up knowledge valuable to all neurological disorders, including M.S.

AK7 AK9 KQSd ^AJ7 The bidding has proceeded: South West North East
2 NT Pass 3 4 Pass
3 ^ Pass 4 4 Pass ?
What do you bid now?
A. Four hearts or four spades. Partner has shown a hand of indeterminate strength containing at least five clubs and probably a four card major suit. Your hand is eminently suited to slam, so you should cue-bid one of your major suit holdings to encourage him to bid on. Since you have already denied a four card major in responding to Stayman, you need not fear that partner will mistake your bid for a legitimate suit and pass.
Q.2Both vulnerable, a.s South you hold:
4QJ6542 V754 4383 46
The bidding has proceeded: North East South West
1 Pass 1 4 Pass
2 4 Pass ?
What do you bid now?
A.Two diamonds. Since part ner has nine or ten cards in the minor suits, chances are that he cant have much in spades. If you rehid your suit instead of giving preference, partner would m entitled to expect a stronger spade holding from you. Besides, the bidding is not yet over partner might still surprise you by showing spade support at his next turn.

What do you bid now?
A.Three clubs. Partner has made a slam try, for even with a weak heart suit he would have no reason to try to improve" the contract. You have more than enough to cooperate. Whatever your partner does next, you should jump to five hearts to show your super-maximum.
Q.4As South, vulnerable with 60 on score, you hold: 4J7643 4843 495 4Q43 Partner opens the bidding with one diamond. What do you respond?
A.Normally, you would not consider responding to partners opening bid. Here, however, you have 60 on score, and even one no trump, bid and made, would give you the rubber. Thus, it is tactically correct to keep the auction open with one spade. Naturally, you intend to drop the

The fact that you have 60 on score does not alter your obligation to keep the bidding open for at least one round. And if partner introduces a new suit at his next turn, you would again be forced to keep the auction alive.
Q.6Neither vulnerable, as South you hold:
4KQ76 4AQ95 4J9854
What is your opening bid?
A.Normally, it is correct to open your five-card suit, and that is the bid we would recomment if your weak five-card minor were clubs and you were void in diamonds. Here, however, a two club response to a one diamond opening bid would leave you badly placed and force you to rebid that motheaten suit. Therefore, we would treat the diamonds a.s a four-card suit and open the bidding with one spade, or even one heart.
Q.7Both vulnerable, as South you hold:
4QJ98 4763 4AJ952 46 The bidding has proceeded: West North East South 1 4 Dhle. 2 4 ?
What do you bid?
A.Partners double virtually guarantees a four card spade suit, and the bidding suggests strongly that he has no more than one heart. Your two hands fit admirably, and we suggest you bid four spades immediately. However, we would not fault you greatly if you jumped to only three spades. Take a demerit if you did no more than bid two spades, or elected to show diamonds rather than spades.

By DEBORAH FRAZIER DENVER (UPI) - Beneath the spiritual bliss of the Guru Maharaj Jis Denver-based Divine Light Mission lie more than $300,000 in unpaid bills and a never ending fund drive, according to the Gurus former financial analyst.
The material wishes of the guru, which take out 60 per cent of the income, are the most important thing ffi the Mission, said Michael D. Garson, 35. And nobody much worries about the unpaid bills. Garson became a devotee in May, 1974, and took over as financial director in August. He resigned in February because I could not tolerate the contradictions.
Garson said there is a continuing $300,000 debt caused by declining revenues and the demands of the recently married 17-year-old Divine Master.
When the Guru wants something, be it a $30,000 car or a new house, he gets it, according to Garson. So far it includes eight sports cars, mansions in Denver and Los Angeles, an assortment of stereo gear and expensive watches and clothes.
Meanwhile, other Mission bills go unpaid. For example, Milpenium 73, the Missions huge festival at the Astrodome, was paid for only after Mission equipment and files were repossessed.
Garson said many fiscal problems are due to a lack of business understanding.
They say they are a spiritual group and not a business organization, he said. They just dont understand that it is the law of the land that you have to pay for things by the date promised.
Another part of the problem, according to Garson, is the economic status of the followers.
Most of them cannot hold a job that pays more than $2 an hour and then there are those in the ashramsthose who work for the Guru alonewho total 572 and are totally supported by the Mission, he said.
He said donations, averaging $100,0(X) a month at the height of the Gurus 1973 recruitment, now struggle to reach $40,(MX). The deficit, according to Garson, has resulted in a form of check kiting where checks are written on funds not necessarily available at the time.
Garson said he plans to write a book on the inside workings of the Mission, and said he hopes the organization manages to avoid bankruptcy.
There are some people that are trying to get the Mission on the right track, he said. But it takes a lot of money to keep a Guru.
Q.8 As South, vulnerable, you hold:
4QJ53 482 4764 49653
The bidding has proceeded: North East South 2 4 2 4 ?
What action do you take?
A. Double. In view of East's overcall, it does not look as if your hand will be of much use to your partner. Your double suggests that most of your values are concentrated in the opponents suit and that it might be wiser to play for penalties rather than to bid on. Partner will now know that, if he contracts for game, he must have it in his own hand.
Commutes 800 Miles To Job
est for engineering students, decided to use his house a$ a guinea pig.
The students plan to pile barnyard manure in a tank 'buried in the ground and steep the manure in water at a temperature of 95 degrees for 40 days. This will allow a bacteria culture to grow, producing (among other things) methane gas.
The gas will be piped off to a holding tank and burned as fuel in a converted gasoline engine. The engine will run a generator which will produce electricity.
Bert Cornelison, the student eams captain, thinks they can produce about 30 kilowatts of electricity a day, enough to light the house, heat water and light a kitchen range.
Costs of the project will be minimal, as Martins brother-in-law owns a feedlot.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Lt. Harold J. Colen finishes a long days work at the San Francisco Fire Departments Engine Company 21 and then heads for home 800 miles away in Yuma, Ariz.
The fire chief says its unbelievable and the head of the firefighters union says theres something wrong when a city firefighter lives so far from his work.
Two months ago, Colen moved to Arizona to be nar his son, Mike, who is stationed there with the Army. Colen kept his $19,300-a-year firefighters job and commutes 1,-600 miles to work a 24-hour shift once or twice a week.
There is no direct flight to Yuma, which is about 650 miles from San Francisco, so Colen must fly 800 miles each way via Phoenix. Roundtrip airfare is nearly $200.
Fire Chief Keith Calden estimates that half of the departments 1,776 employes live outside the city.
Most San Francisco firemen have two to four days off be-

It seems unbelievable to me, Calden said when told of Colons lengthy commute.
I would agree 1,(XH) per cent that theres something wrong if a member of the San Francisco Fire Department is living out of state, said firefighters union president Jim Ferguson.
Colen has apparently decided to move back to the city.
He felt he couldnt do the job properly living in Yuma, said son Mike. Hell live with my sister in the city and come down here every few months to visit.
Colen, who was not available for comment, has been a firefighter here for 24 years. He was cited for heroism in 1969.
The city used to require firemen to live inside its limits, but a new state law eliminated residency requirements. City supervisors have scheduled hearings on a proposal to require policemen and firemen to

Calden said residency limitations are set so that men will be available quickly in case of a major conflagration. The number of firefighters living within a reasonable distance of the city could affect the citys fire insurance rates, he said.

Some Judges Under Fire For Outside Activities
By DICK BARNES Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - A requirement that federal judges publicly report certain outside earnings has led to formal criticism of some activities of about 30 judges or magistrates.
A nationwide Associated Press survey of the most recent reports, required twice a year for the last two years, shows
that fewer than one of every 10 federal jurists earns money away from the bench.
An even smaller proportion reported potential conflicts of interest, gifts or expense reimbursements in excess of actual costs.
There were some findings in those cases that certain conduct by judges was prohibited or undesirable, following exam
ination of the reports by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Activities of the Judicial Conference.
Names (rf judges who were formally criticized, or specific details of the findings against them, were not made public.
Judge Edward A. Tamm, who receives the judicial nonsalary income reports, did say that of the more than 40 opin-
'Kidnap, Inc/ Boosts Stakes In Italian Crime
By WILBORN HAMPTON ROME (UPI) Kidnaping has become one of Italys major growth industries.
Over the past 18 months kidnaping has accelerated at a frightening pace, forcing police to set up a special antikidnap-ing center.
From 1960 until 1972 official figures record a total of 91 kidnapings. All but four were in Sardinia, Sicily and the deep south towns of Reggio Calabria and Catanzarotraditional centers of activty for the Mafia and others engaged in kidnaping.
The motives varied from ransom to vendetta and all but nine victims were released, escaped or were rescued by police. Known ransoms ranged from two million lire (about $3,000) to 500 million lire ($800,000) in Palemro in 1971 for Giuseppe Vassallo, the son of a reputed Mafia chieftain.
Then in July, 1973, Italys kidnapers raised the stakes. J. Paul Getty III, grandson of the
this year.
The latest victim to be released was a Milan industrialist named Giuseppe Agrati. His family admitted paying a ransom that ran into millions of dollars.
Police have advanced several possible reasons for the upswing in kidnapings. 'They range from criminal gangs trying to raise capital to finance a drug smuggling ring to political activists working to stir up fears that law and order are breaking down.
Left-wing newspapers have even suggested the government is behind some of the kidnapings as one means of collecting money from wealthy tax dodgers.
But for the victims and their families the rash of kidnapings holds little humor. Criminal sidelines have sprung up playing on the fears of those vulnerable to kidnap as well as families of kidnap victims.
In one case, a young man called a restaurant owner
oil billionaire, was kidnaped in _ whose seven-year-old son was front of the French embassy in kidnaped in 1973 and tried to
Rome.
The gang first demanded 10 billion lire (about $16 million). In five months of negotiation, during which the gang cut off young Gettys ear to show they meant business, the price dropped to about two billion lire ($3 million) and he was released.
As with everything else in Italy, the prices for ransom have since gone up. There were 38 kidnapings in 1974, according to police figures, and there have been another dozen so far
extort money from him by threatening to kidnap the boy a second time.
Enrico Panattoni alerted police, who arrested the would-be extortionist when he went to pick up the money. Panattoni in 1973 had paid 300 million lire (then $480,000) for the release of his little son, Mirko.
The current crime wave also has given birth to a new branch of insurance, the anti-kidnaping policy.
Although such policies are technically illegal in Italy,
Joanne By Her
RALEIGH (AP) -- Joanne Little has denied she is feigning illness in an effort to get her trial delayed.
Miss Little did this Saturday, in a telephone call from a secret hideaway, where she is awaiting trial for the icepick slaying of a Beaufort County jailer, to the Raleigh News and Observer.
She said she is happy, confident and feeling better after treatment for a thyroid condition.
She firmly denied statements made by her mother, Mrs. Jessie Williams of Chocowinity, that her illness was all a pretense to get her trial postponed.
Miss Little said she met her mother in Durham Friday and explained to her she had not meant to imply that she was not really sick.
There was a misunderstanding, she said. Mrs. Williams could not be reached for comment.
Miss Littles attorney, Jerry
Satisfaction Is A Health Factor
Stands
Lawyer
Paul of Durham, has asked for a 60-day delay in her trial, set for April 14, on advice from her doctors. Paul said Miss Little was somewhere in the Chesapeake, Va. area.
She faces trial for murder in he slaying last Aug. 27 of Clarence Allgood. Miss Little contends she killed him in self defense while fending off a sexual assault.
Miss Little told the News and Observer her illness followed a thyroid operation in 1968. She said doctors told her then she would have to take medicine for her condition for the rest of her life. However, she quit taking it two years ago because I didnt like it.
I started having a lot of restlessness, she said. Id go to bed tired and wake up tired. She said her attorneys had advised her to go to a hospital. She said doctors there had performed tests on her and prescribed medicine. She said she returns to the hospital regularly for treatments.
Im resting better, she said. My appetite was poor, | but Im taking vitamin pills, and Im feeling a little bit better.
insurance brokers quietly admit they give them, especially for major clients.
An industrialist for whom we already insure his plant, machinery, personnel, parking lot, his and his wifes legs when they go skiing, asks to be insured also against the risk of kidnap, one broker explained.What should we do? We run the risk of losing all the other policies if we say no.
Police have had a certain measure of success in combatting kidnaping. Of the 38 kidnapings on record last year, 20 were solved with arrests. Italian courts, never known for the swiftness of their justice, have given top priority to kidnap cases and have handed down stiff sentences in an effort to discourage the crime.
In two recent trials, courts sentenced one gang of nine kidnapers to a total of 124 years in jail and another group of six kidnapers to 77 years in prison.
While some gangs are responsible for multiple kidnapings, the new anti-kidnaping squad believes several gangs are in the kidnap business.
I think we can exclude the possibility that all of these kidnapings are l)orn of one organization, a spokesman for the police squad said. The modus operandi is too varied. Certainly, however, there are groups which have carried out two or three different kidnapings.
There are four basic origins (for the kidnapings) to be consideredthose by political groups, those by the mafia, those by extemporaneous gangs who improvise and those by traditional criminals, including smugglers, who need money and adjust to modern times.
Lets not, however, delude ourselves that a few arrests can extirpate us from this wave of kidnapings. But we are making every effort to contain it.
ions issued by the advisory comnrdttee, about 75 per cent ruled against the activities reported by the judges.
Beyond the formal criticism, no further sanctions are provided for.
I think were making progress toward eliminating instances of real, potential or seeming conflict of interest, said Tamm, who sits on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Tamm also said he hopes case finding eventually will be made public, as are the original reports.
The outside activity reports provide only a partial picture of judges personal finances. Only income earned for services, such as writing or lectures, need be reported.
Income from such sources as interest, dividends or sale of property is not listed in the reports.
The reports are filed at federal courthouses every six months under provisions of the American Bar Associations code of judicial conduct and implementing action taken in
Home Fire Is Believed Set
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) Police and State Bureau of Investigation agents continued their investigation into a fire and explosion at the home of a state trooper early Sunday.
Police said the home of Patrolman E.M. Roberts Jr., 35, was heavily damaged around 1:30 a.m. when no one was at home. Investigators said the fire was intentionally set.
Roberts was on duty, and his wife and four children were visiting relatives when the explosion shattered the eight-room, brick veneer house in the western section of the city near Cape Fear Valley Hospital.
' Officers said the blast was apparently caused by a heat buildup from the fire.
The explosion peeled bricks from three walls and blew out several winds,, scattering glass into the street.
Police Detective Bill Barefoot said the arsonist apparently knew nobody would be home. Someone apparently broke into 'he home, set containers of gasoline or fuel oil in nearly every room and then poured a liquid fuse to the street, investigators said.
Roberts said his wife and children rarely missed a weekend trip to his inlaws in Harnett County.
1973 by the Judicial Conference of the United States.
The AP checked records for every U.S. district court and U.S. court of appeals in the 50 states and District of dk)lumbia. Reports were totaled for 438 judges and an additional 109 senior judges those retired or past the age of 70, but who may still hear cases.
Bankruptcy judges and U.S. magistrates also must file reports, but .these were not included in the AP study.
Supreme 0)urt justices are not required to file reports, although it was the outside financial activities of former Supreme Court Justice Abe Portas which in part led to the reporting requirement.
A few judges object to the reporting requirement as an infringement on the independence of the judiciary. Timely reports for the period ended Dec. 31, 1974, were not found on file for 19 judges.
One of these. Judge Inzer B. Wyatt of the southern district of New York, wrote to a law publication in 1971 when reporting requirements were under discussion:
Filing financial reports would not deter a corrupt judge; such a one would simply file false reports.
Although the document form is titled Public Report of Extra-Judicial Income, Chief Judge Frank H. McFadden of the northern district of Alabama would not permit a newsman to examine reports filed there.
Tamm said that when his re-I view committee questions judges about their reports, most of the letters we get back are indignant.

committee is satisfied with judges explanation ai an event. But what Tamm called black or gray situations are referred to the advisory committee for a formal finding.
In the reports checked by AP, 49 judges and senior judges reported earning outside income which totaled $%,622.20 -or an average of less than $2,-(X)0 each. About one-fifth of that sum consisted of old private legal fees received by four recent appointees to the bench.
District court judges are paid $40,(KX) a year. Appeals judges get $42,500.
Well over half the specified sources of outside income were speeches, lectures and teaching assignments most often to law schools or legal groups.
Nine judges reported income as trustees and five listed book royalties.
Perhaps the most unique listing was $130.58 received by Judge Richard Owen of the southern district of New York for royalties on music composition.
The highest listed figure, excluding pre-appointment legal feels, was $14,265.27 reported by Judge Jack B. Weinstein of the eastern district of New York.
He earned $7,000 for teaching law at Columbia University approximately five hours a week, $5,236.12 for royalties from previously published books and $2,029.15 from a publishers as an expense advance against future royalties.
Eighteen judges answered affirmatively to a question on whether they had participated in any case where they or a member of their family might have a financial interest.
Most of these were instances
where a judge or family member held a small amount of stock in a corporation involved in a case. In most of these cases, the judges reported, attorneys for both sides were advised and did not object to the judge continuing to hear the case.
Under a new law passed in December, said Judge Tamm. judges must disqualify them
selves from such cases even if attorneys dont object.
In the reports checked by AP, 10 judges listed gifts they had received. Although the form said only gifts valued at more than $100 need be reported, one judge reported receipt of a $60 wooden chair bearing the seal of Boston University law school, where he had participated in a moot court.
POWER VACUUMYou probably think of motor vehicles as gasoline-powered, and vacuum cleaners as electric. Right? Well, John Hoke, technical adviser for the National Capitol Parks, demonstrates a switcheroo: an electric cart, designed to cut down on air pollution, equipped with a gas-powered vacuum cleaner which will be used to remove trash from the parks.

Musicians
Dig
Into Shakespeare
LONDON (UPI) William Shakespeare began writing plays 3^ years ago, and composers have been building on the foundations of his genius ever since.
It is an astonishing fact that well over 1,000 composers have been inspired to put pen to paper as the result of Shakespeares vivid imagination, said Christopher Ball.
If he had not lived, it is not only the world of literature that would have been much the poorer.
Ball leads the Praetorius Consort, a combination of ancient musical instruments like crumhorns and bass kortholts which laut year presented a Music to Shakespeare program on the BBC.
Now the British Broadcasting Corp., continuing its policy of cashing in with records of its vast broadcast output, has issued an LP of the same name. It contains a tiny sampling of the vast horde of music written for, or inspired by, Shakespeares plays.
ITie 20 selections range from anonymous Elizabethan manuscripts to a song Nino Rota wrote for the Franco Zeffirelpi movie of Romeo and Juliet in 1969.
The record, to be distributed in the United States by Polydor, steers clear of Mendelssohn and Tschaikowsky and other Shakespeare inspired chestnuts of the classical repertory. It concentrates instead on music from the two Elizabethan ages, the 17th century and our own time.

Musk Ox To Siberia
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The musk ox, an ugly but hardy beast that ranged as far south as Iowa during the Ice Age, has grown so plentiful in Alaska that the United States will ship 40 of them to the Siberia, where they are extinct.
With the help of Eskimos at Nunivak, about 40 musk oxen descended from a herd aquired from Greenland will be shipped to Siberia, one of their original homelands until climate changes and primitive hunters destroyed tlje stock in Asia.
The original Alaskan herd of the musk ox was hunted to extinction about the time of the Civil War. In the 1930s the United States brought 31 animals from Greenland and put them on Nunivak Island, where the hrd now numbers about 700. The Fish ^d Wildlife Service said the 40-year-old program of restoring the shaggy beast to Alaska has been so successful the population must be cut back because the vegetation isnt adequate to support a large herd.
The oxen were once plentiful in Asia, and crossed to Alaska and Canada via land which once bridged the Bering Strait.
A joint Soviet-U.S. scientific exchange agreement provides for the musk oxen to be shipped back to Russia, this time by airplane.

Piiy The Rich: Recession Has Curtailed Their Fun
By LEE MITGANG AP Bualnets Writer
The nations rich are feeling the recessiwi, too. But for them, its a recession on cats feet: very quiet, but the claws are still there.
I go to Europe at least three times a year, but I havent gone this year and I may not next, says a tennis player waiting for a court at a Great Neck, N.Y., indoor tennis club.
I hate to say it, but weve really curtailed our travel, says Mrs. Miles M. OBrien Jr. of Grosse Pointe, Mich., a wealthy suburb of Detroit. We had hoped to go to Aspen this year, but it just wasnt in the cards. We dont entertain as much, either.
But others with more blithe spirits still buy diamond crusted FYisbees for $2,500 at Sidney Mobells jewelry store on San Franciscos Nob Hill. In Winnetka, 111., women still order $450 custom-made sports jackets for their husbands.
On New Yorks Fifth Avenue, Cartiers jewelry store president Fred Montezinos says, People still pick up a $175,000 piece without batting an eye. Down the street at Abercrombie & Fitch, antique guns for $8,000 to $45,000 are selling as fast as the store can stock them.
The recession is producing contradictory alterations in wealthy Americans spending habits and lifestyles. Where cutbacks occur, they have not been particularly drastic.
In Great Neck, Nob Hill, Grosse Pointe, Shaker Heights, Ohio, Philadelphia Main Line suburbs. Highland Park, Texas, and Winnetka all among the richest communities in the nation 'The Associated Press found wealthy Americans who: Are switching to chicken
but still sh(^ at gourmet food stores.
Are camping on their vacations but drive to their campsites in new Mercedes Benzs.
Take several weekend tr^ to Florida w Palm Springs on a moments notice but still feel they cant afford a European trip.
The recessions imi^ct on a wealthy family also seems to depend on what part of the
luxury items like crabmeat and precooked snacks.
Theyre paying $5 for a cheesecake, 95 cents for a box of crackers, $1.89 fa* a loaf of Rhssian Mack pumpernickel bread, says Barl^ra Ardell, a saleswoman at the Bryn Mawr Cheese Shop on the Philadelphia Main Line.
While the rich have kept their taste for culinary knickknacks, they seem ready to economize
country it lives in. Residents of by serving more chicken and Grosse Pointe, many of whom less prime rib.
took their wealth from Americas car craze, are cutting back more perceptibly than some other rich communities.
In wealthy Highland Park, an incorporated community surrounded by Dallas, the financial capital of the Southwest, resident A1 Cooter, owner of several camera shops, asks with a smile, Recession? What recession? Things are fine here.
But a walk down Middle Neck Road, Great Necks main street, reveals signs of business problems: storefronts advertising sales in clothing, books and jewelry, all of which sold effortlessly in better times in the fashion-conscious Long Island community.
Many in Great Neck made fortunes in New York Citys garment district and on Wall Street, and theyre now feeling the slump in both fields.
There are signs, too, that more wives in wealthy households are looking for jobs in an effort to maintain a high living standard.
Truly puzzling behavior is to be found at Great Necks dinner tables and on those of some other wealthy areas.
The owner of Kuchs Gourmet Food Shop says business is excellent and wealthy Great
I can see the change in just the last six months, says a
butcher at Great Necks Jays Kosher Meat Store. Freezer orders are way down. My wealthy clients used to buy sides of beef, but now theyre just taking cuts.
My wife, Linda, is being selective in her purchase of groceries, says Shaker Heights attorney Harry J. Lehman, who represents the area in Ohios House of Representatives. We have cut down on steak and we have quit going out to eat one night a week. Ihats a saving of $30 right there.
Fifty Years In Same Classroom
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The students come and go, but Dr. Solomon Zeitlin remains, teaching in the same classroom where he began half a century ago.
The 82-year-old professor of post-Biblical literature and institutions recently celebrated his 50th anniversary at tiny Dropsie University here.
I began teaching two classes a day and I havent changed. Its the same schedule. I even use the same classroom I started in, he said in an interview.
The wizened Zeitlin walks with a limp caused by a broken hip, but he still has plenty of spark.
I dont run away from arguments. Even my students often disagree with me. We have some lively discussions in my classes, but its all right. I feel fine about my opponents. I have nothing against them
Zeitlin has been involved in several Biblical controversies, the latest involving the famous Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947.
Many Scholars say the scrolls are pre-Christian, but Zeitlin thinks they date from the 6th or 7th century A.D.
If his theory is correct, it could shed new light on the historical development of Christianity.
Zeitlin, a native of Russia, studied in the Soviet Union and in Paris before enrolling as a student at Dropsie in 1915. He earned a doctorate two years later and taught in New York before returning to Dropsie as a professor in 1925.
No real pattern emergea on how top-class restaurants are faring in the recession. A survey of about a dozen expensive restaurants in die nation taken by the trade group Natimal Restaurant Association reported that the ridi are still spending big away from home.
But ttie owner of New Yorks La Caravelle, Robert Meyzen, says, Business is definitely off now, and any premium restaurant that says otherwise is probably not being frank. A meal for a party of five at La Caravelle can cost $500.
Likewise, Jerry Hurley of the National Chib Association says the larger, m(n*e prestigious country clubs still are doing well. Interviews with dub members sugg^t this is one pleasure few rich Americans are willing to sacrifice.
What should I cut (Hit? The golf club? I enjoy that, says Benjamin M. Gaston Jr., an insurance executive who lives on the Philadelphia Main Line.
There has been no cutback on the number of meals served or the entertaining at our club. Last year we raised food prices 10 per cent. No one said anything, says the manager of a
Winnetka country dub who dedined to be identified.
On Nob HiU and in Great Neck, Cadillac sales are about level with a year, ago, but down about 60 per cent from the banner 1973 model year.
But the rich are still buying big cars. American dealers of Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce with top price tags <rf
$22,000 and $72,000 respecttvely say sales have been good-to-excellent lately.
The children of the rich also are feeling this recession in some communities surveyed as a growing number of families trim educational (dans and costs, though many are doing it voluntarily.
Our son is in a state univer
sity. He has insisted on getting a job to help pay his way. We didnt suggest he do so. He did it on his own, said a Winnetka resident with four other children in college.
Mrs. OBrien of Grosse Pointe says some of her friends arent sending their (hildren away to school as much as before.
