PRICE 15 CENTSChicago Mourns Passing Of Mayor Richard Daley

By JOSEPH R.TYBOR Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO (AP) His bodyguards wept, his city was stunned, and his feliow national leaders expressed grief at the death of Mayor Richard Joseph Daley, lord of a political fiefdom whose likes may never be seen again.

The nations most powerful mayor, last of the big-city political bosses, who cultivated family, love and, above all, party loyalty, died Monday at 74 of a heart attack in his doctors office.

Within hours, while his body was being prepared to lie in state today, leaders of the citys aldermen met in his fifth floor aty Hall office to probe Chicagos future leadership.

State law provides that the City CouncU, long a rubber stamp for Daley, select one of its own as mayor until a special election

is held within six months.

But Chicago also has home rule under the Illinois Constititutlon and, conceivably, could change the procedure, legal officials said.

Until some action is taken. Aid. Wilson Frost, council president pro tern, may become acting mayor the first black to assume the post in the citys history.

Possible permanent successors include Aid. Michael Bilandic, from Daleys owii ward. Aid. Edward Vrdolyak, from a Southeast Side ward, and the late mayors son, Richard, now a state senator.

Daleys body was to lie in state from noon to 8 p.m. today at The Nativity of Our Lord Church in the mayors Bridgeport neighborhood, where he took daily Communion and from which both his parents were buried. Parish Secretary Shirley Connors said visitors would be allowed to

pass by to pay respects, but would not be permitted to sit down. A Mass was planned for Wednesday.

Daley had gone to see his personal physician. Dr. Thomas Coogan Jr., for a regularly scheduled visit, (xmnplaining of chest pains. Coogan ordered an electrocardiogram, confirmed an irregular heart beat and left his office to make emergency arrangements at a nearby ho^ital.

Daley teleplKmed one of his seven childrr, Michael. He a(^rently concluded the conversation and then collapsed.

Coogan, paramedics and doctors from Northwestern Memorial Hospital tried desperately fw nearly two hours to revive Daley as family members recited the Rosary in his office.

Daley was pronounced dead at 3:40 p.m., CST, and a rule that spanned three decades ended in a breathless Last Hurrah.

Eulogies poured in.

President Ford, vacationing in Vail, Colo., called Daley a towering figure on the American scoje. President-elect Carter said he was deeply saddened by the death of a great and good friend to me and a great Democratic leader.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, DMass., whose brother, John, received both Daleys blessings and the votes from Chicago that gave him Illinois in his 1960 presidential victory, called Daley one of Americas greatest mayors.

James R. Thompson, a Republican who beat Daleys handpicked candidate for governor on Nov. 2, said a part of Chicago

died. Thompson, as U.S. prosecutor, jailed several of Daleys cronies for official corruptimi.

New York Mayor Abraham Beame, struck a theme common among many big-city mayors, saying Daleys death marks the passing of one of the strongest, best-known mayors of this citury.

Word of Daleys death was riow in coming, the uncolainty reminiscent of the stroke he suffered in May 1974. He required surgery at the time but went on to win an unprecedented sixth term as mayor. At that time, friends and foes alike concurred hed have the job as long as he lived.

Richard Joseph Daley was bom May 5, 1902, the son of Michael Daley, a sheet-metal worker bom in County Wexford, Ireland. He grew up in a small apartment in the heavily Irish and political neigh

borhood where be lived most his life.

He married a giri he met at a softball game, Eleanor Sis Guilfoyle.

As a teen-ager, Daley worked briefly in the Chicago Union Stockyards, but he soon Diuneed into the poliUcal life of the 11th Ward. He became a precinct captain and then secretary to a powerful alderman.

He worked at City Hail while attending De Paul University law school at night.

In 1936, Daley ran as a Republican write-in candidate for state represoitative and won. When he ^ to ^ringfield, he sat with the Democrats.

He advanced to the state Senate in 1938 and lost his only election in 1946 when be ran f<H-sheriff.

He ultimatriy won a seat on the Cook County Central Committee, became chairman of the committee and was flrst elected ntayor in 1955.

A motion by school board member Mrs. Terry Shank to make a decision < redistricting of the Greenville City Schods no lata* than March was defeated Monday night with six members voting against the motion.

This is a matter (rf great concern to the public, Mrs. Shank commaited about the subject, and I (kmt think it fair to wait until the last minute.

Miles Frost, the only other board member siq>porting the motion, said he felt that a decision the first of June is simpiy too late.

Several Hundred Attend Hearing

On Leaf Price, Quota Programs

By STUARTSAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer Several hundred persons attended a meeting here this morning to discuss problems related to the tobacco price support and quota programs.

The meeting was one of a aeries being held by the U.S. Department of Agriculture designed to hear comments from flue cured tobacco growers (hi the problems.

First District Congressman Walter Jones, who opened the session, said, the purpose of

this meeting is to save and maintain the very fine tobacco program we now have.

In addition to Jones, Congressmen H. L. Fountain from the Second District and Charlie Rose of the Seventh District and Congressman-elect Charlie WhiUey of the Third District attended the meeting.

Jones, who said we need to put up a imited front, asked for a show of hands of those who fav(H^ the return of measuring tobacco acreage and those who favored removing the specula-

The response in favor was almost lOOpercttit.

William L. Lanier, director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Services Tobacco and Peanut Division, presided at the session.

He tdd farmers there is a cloud in the making which could give us a lot of trouble in tobacco, adding that the USDA in holding the series of meetings is seeking counsel and advice on how we can approach these problems.

Lanier theorized that prices are now too high fw the markets to be maintained, saying that

the level of support (price support for tobacco) and its increase, is the problem.

The market demand, he con-

Expressing their opinions on a decision by March, dissenting members focused on the fact that it is not known at this time whether renovation work on Third Street and Agnes FuUilove Schools will in fact meet requirements of building inspectors. Work on these schools is scheduled to be completed in the early part of the summer of 1977.

Were asking for trouble if we announce redistricting plans now, board member Ed Carter said. Ed Stallings remarked It would destroy the effect on educatiwi for the rest of the year if plans are announced before the end of the school year.

Action to adopt a redistricting plan was tabled by the school board at the time Third Street School was condemned and extensive renovations called for on Agnes Fullilove and Aycock Schods just before the end d the 1975-76 school year,

Redistricting was not on the regular agenda prepared for MiHxlay ni^ts meeting, but was put forward by Mrs. Shank in the time allotted for bringing up old items of business.

Following a lengthy discussion on the subject of an elected school board, school board members concurred in Dr. James Beardens summary of ideas of most concern to present school board members.

I get the feeling what we're ail saying, Dr. Bearden remarked, is that our concern is centered around a geographical balance, racial and minority balance, continuity and the time or date new members take office.

In what was termed an in

formational and input session. City Council members Ms. Millie McGrath, Qarwice Gray and Rev. William Hadden spoke briefly on the status of the councils study on the issue, one that will be on the city council agenda for January 6.

Ms. McGrath explainec. as it stands now (with the city council plan) six members would be elected on at-large basis, with three members appointed by the council.

At the last City Council meeting. Mayor Percy Cox asked Ms. McGrath to head a sub

committee with councilman CTarence Gray and schocri board member Ed Stallings to serve with her.

An informational study prepared by the committee suggests the possibilities of dividing the city into four zones, or as an alternative, two zones, as a basis for ^ting an equal division of population ratios.

The complexities involved in establishing wards were frequently mentioned during the discussion complexities based on population distribution; the fact that certain areas have few

students while others have a heavy pupil population; and the fact that the citys voting districts do not coincide with the city school district.

Hadden emphasized that the city councils concon with an elected versus an appointed board bad no relatioo to any dissatisfactk about the competence of the current school board. There has In recent years been a strong movement for elect(x*ate accountability, Hadden said. So far as the

Hotline began placing calls last March to find out about the possibilities of obtaining an electric wheelchair for a 16-year-old A student, cr^ipled since age four, whose fondest wish was to have the independence that would come with a chair he cwild propel himself. His family could not afford the cost, which they understood would be about $1,000.

We reported in August that everything seemed in order for the boy to get the electric wheelchair shortly after school would start throu^ the N. C. Department of Vocational RehabUltation. Later, however, we learned that he did not meet the requirements of this agency.

However, Mrs. Virginia Phillips of the N. C. Cr^ pled Childrens Program became aware (rf the need about this time. She called late in the fall to r^rt she felt virtually sure that the boy would get the chair, but agreed with us that it would be best this time to report it only when he was sitting in it.

Last week his mother called and told us that the chair is now his. The URal cost was about $1,3(X). She expressed the familys delict and tiieir determination to take good care of it and told of the boys residve to be worthy of this ^ft frmn the people of North Carolina.

Shoplifting Increases During Holiday Season

By BARBARA MATHEWS Reflector Staff Writer

For merchants, the Christmas season brings bustling crowds, long check-out lines and signiflcantly increased sales.

But along with higha- sales, the holiday season and its accompanying multitudes of shoppers present an increased possibUity of loss - due to shoplifting.

According to Fred Baumann, manager of the J. C. Penney D^Murtment Store at Pitt Plaza, shoplifting rq?resents a very serious problem fw the wlxde retailing industnr.

ShO|difting is always a problem, said Baumann.

It is theft. 1 think sometimes the term sho|difting is not given enough concern by the general puUk;.

In the Old, the consunwr will pay for it .

Baumann said his store will prosecute shoplifters at all detections. but refused to disclose any of the stores methods for aM>rehending shoplifters.

I dont consido- us as having any greater problem than any other store in this area, he sakl.

We see more amateur shoplifters, but there are professionals. And the pros are extremely sharp.

We know a lot of the professionals by sight and immediately come down on them, but it takes a lot of vigilance.

Grocery stmes are not exempt from the sho|difting proMem. Acc<ding to Parker Overton Overtons Supermarkrt, it constitutes a tremendous proMem for siq>mTnarket managers as well

Shoplifting is seasonal, said Overton.

The dosor tt gets to the holidays, the mme people come in wearing heavy coats to hide the merchandise in.

Tb^ most frequently take small packages of cooked ham, cans of tuna, cheese, cosmetics and health and beauty aids.

At Ovotons, televisioo monitors placed throughout tbe store are used as a deterrent.

We do not like to watch people, said Overton.

We know it makes our customers uncomfortable, but it serves as a psychological deterrent.

What makes people shoplift? Dr. Kenneth Taykr of the ECU corrections department says the reasons vary.

Not everybody has the same motivation to sbojrilft, said Dr. Taylor.

For s(Hne, its a matter of economics, a vray to get thtogs they would like to have.

For those with money, it can be a way for young peo|^ to rebel against ttieir pare^. They know it will be embarrasstaig for the parents.

And sometimes, people are not aware of thrir motivation. It

can be unconscious.

Dr. Taylor said that for merchants, shoplifting is a very serious kind of thing, resulting in a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

In the average store, where it is relatively easy to shoplift, they lose at least five per cent in sales to shoplifting he said.

Stores lose not only the cost of what was stolen, but also their profit from their mark-up also. In the end, it costs all of us considerably more for our merchandise.

Chief Glenn Cannon of the Greenville Ptrfice Department noted that there seem to be no socioeconomic barriers to shoplifting.

Although mostly the poor to middle-class will shoplift, well-t(Hlo people will shoplift, too, he said.

Sometimes they do it for kicks, sometimes its done ddiberatdy.

But nine out of ten times if you ask a shoplifter why he did it, he will say he doesnt know.

Canixm said the sentencing of convicted shoplifters is left ig) to the discretion of the judge.

In most cases, shoplifters get a six-month suspended sentence with probation, he said.

Theyre clamping down <m it pretty much now. Were getting more convictions now. The laws have changed Before, we had to wait until the shoplifter got past the last check-oik before we could arrest them, but now as soon as an item is concealed, tts shoplifting.

Cannon added incidence of dwplifting increases throughout the Christmas season.

Juvenile shoplifting is also a problem which increases during the holidays, and juvenile officers Jackie Alexander and Hu^ Benson of the Greenville police find the motivation 6ehind the crime somewhat dtfferent from that ^ adikts Peer group influence is the reason behind juvle shoplifting, said Alexander.

1 dont think a lot of it is based on need, although some of it obviously is . Thoes a little bit of a thrill in it fck tbe kids.

Often, they have the fimds to pay for the merchandise with them when tb're cai#t or are with adults who could pay . According to the juvenile officm, nine juvenile oplifters were arrested in November, and tour have already been caught this month.

Nine juvenile Mioplifters were caught in Novendier and seven in DeceRd>er of 1975, and the 1974 figures showed W Juvenile shoplifting arrests in November and nine in December.

They noted juvenile shoplifting is also seasonal, with an increase in arrests for the crime occurring during tbe CTuistmas

season and in the beginning of the summer each year.

A juvenile first offender generally wont go to court said Alexander.

Their parents are contacted, and the juvenile officer assigned decides on the counseling (k the child.

If they do go to court, probatkm is the most likely punisth ment. Tbe judge may deny than the privilege of that particular store, or may deny them access to any store unless the^re in the company of a parent or responsible adult.

As with adults, the juvenile shoplifting phenomenon cuts across sexual lines.

Girts are catching up with tbe boys in shoplifting, said Alexander.

Now we're seeing the girts being watched as doaeiy as

boys.

Regardless of age, sex or motivation, tbe shoplifter will continue to create a significant proMem for the merchant rt Christmastime.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) Song writer and lyricist Ned Washington, a threetime Academy Award-winner who wrote the words for such hit songs as High Noon and Stella by Starii^t, died Monday at his home. He was 75.

Washington, who had a heart condition, had been ailing for the last six years.

Washington won one Oscar for his music in the 1940 film Pinocchlo and another for the hit swig from the Walt Disney movie, When You Wish Up<m a Star.

Carter transition aides say the HUD job wUl go to either Newark, N.J., Mayor Kenneth Gibson or Baltmore housing chief Robert Embry. In addition to Gibson, two other blacks are mentioned as possible contenders; Mayor Richard Hatcher of Gary, Ind., and Patricia Roberts Harris, former ambassador to Luxembourg and former dean of the Howard University Law School.

Problems Plagued Flu Program

SO FAR, SO GOOD!

As of this writing the swine flu vaccine program has been suspended again pending investigation of temporary paralysis which struck some who had

taken the shots.

The paralysis is said to be usually temporary and authorities are not at all certain that it is connected

to the vaccine.

Regardless there was concern enough to suspend the immunization program until an investigation could be made.

Health authorities seemed to feel that it would be difficult to resume the program in time to provide protection against swine flu, even if it is shown that

paralysis is not connected.

It is difficult to say what that will all mean if there should be a major outbreak of swine flu this

year. Millions of people have already been immunized and presumably would be protected. Perhaps this would help slow down the spread of the disease. And it is possible there wont be an epidemic of the disease at all. Then the health authorities would have to study the program begun this year and determine whether a new immunization program should be instituted next fall.

The entire swine flu immunization program has been plagued with problems. It has been difficult for health authorities and the public alike to determine just what is best for each individual. Now it appears that those who have not been immunized will have to take their chances.

We can only hope that there wont be an epidemic.

Saudi Arabia Shows Responsibility

Saudi Arabia, a giant producer of oil, broke with other OPEC nations last week, over a price increase for oil.

Most mem^jers of the oil cartel want a 15 percent increase but Saudi Arabia has the leverage to hold the increase to five percent.

Saudi Arabia shows a sense of responsibility in attempting to hold down the increase which could be disastrous to the economies of many nations. Saudi Arabia might also be shrewd enough to recognize that sooner or later rapidly increasing oil prices will hasten the development of other energy sources.

THIS AFTERNOON

Transportation Group

ByBILLNOnJTT

RALEIGH - A list of major changes in North Carolinas approach to transporUtkxi is being urged by a groqp of people banded together under the title Better Transportation for North Carolina, Inc.

OveraU, the organization believes transportation today and for a long time to come will depend on good roads; that we are far from being ready to give up private cars (and individual trucks) in favor of mass transit systems.

The 1977 General Assembly will be presented a collection of recommendations being pushed by the organization of some 200 contractors, bankers, truckers and others concerned with transportation. Harry Van-derlinden of Hickory, president of Midstate Contractors, Is president of the group which has Just reorganized into a full-time lobbying and educational force.

Roads Are Tops

Motte Griffith of Raleigh, executive director of the grotq), recognizes that most

THE INSIDE REPORT

of the membership is concerned with road-building, but feels that is reflective of the emphasis on roads in this state. Other members reflect other transportation interests, also.

Meetings with legislators are being held in various locations across the state as plans are outlined for the 1977 General Assembly which will convene in mid-January.

The Secondary Roads Council should be abolished to eliminate friction between it and the Board of Transportation, the agency believes, and the Board of Transportation itself should be restructured and a code of ethics applied to all appointees and employees.

The Secondary Roads Council has processed some $30 million a year for country road paving which Better Transportation, Inc. feels was largely directed at special cases, and succeeded only in paving isolated stretches of rural road. Better, the organization thinks, that Secondary Roads money be spent only on well-traveled country roads.

especially those which link up with other paved roads.

Financing for highway construction is a major concern of the gi^ which will push for two big changes: a statewide road baid issue of between $300 and $500 million - not for a crash program, but a well-thought-out plan spanning several years of work on major state and federal projects only; and a gasoline tax pegged to the price of fuel rather than the present flat-rate of nine and one-fourth cents per gallon. A 20 per cent tax, for example, would escalate as fuel prices go up, offsetting the present loss in revenues caused by decreasing use, the organization believes.

State Ports

Roads and the State Ports are combined in another concern of the group: autonomy in operation under a professional director for the ports, and early emphasis on four-lane highways into Wilmington and Morehead City.

Airports are also on the agenda, with the concern being the po^ibility that federal regulations will ban

private aircraft from most major airports as a safety move. North Carolina needs to move now to provide adequate airports across the state for the multitude of small craft, many of them owned and operated by vital business organizations.

Better Transportation is also urging establishment of a task force study commission to review the states hi^way revenue system and recommend specific changes to the 1979 General Assembly.

The organization has drawn up a five-year Transportation Improvement Program aimed at resolving what it seems as the four major problems in North Carolina:

Unfavorable public attitude, with people not understanding the system and expecting some new system to solve all problems;

Lack of knowledge among lawmakers as to real problems and needs;

Revenues not meeting escalating construction demands;

-Lack of public credibility in the State Transportation Department.

Lobby Attempts Block

' By ROWLAND EVANS

and ROBERT NOVAK

Washington - The shrouded move to block stdid, inconspicuous Rep. Clement Zablocki of Wisconsin from becoming the new chairman of the House International Relations Committee, thou^ probably doomed to fail, reveals the determina-tkm of the pro-lsrael lobby to pin down its congressional base on the eve of new Mideastern diplomatic developments conducted by a new American President.

Unlike the dramatic fall of three House Committee chairmen two years ago, the attempted challenge to Clem ZaWocki, 64, has nothing to do with reform. During 18 years as the committees No. 2 Democrat behind retiring chairman Thomas E. Morgan of Pennsylvania, the unobtrusive Congressman from

Milwaukee has been no Wayne Hays or Wilbur Mills ruling some legislative domain with an Iron hand.

Rather, Zablockis offense comes down to this: his refusal to knuckle under to pressures on the superheated Middle East situation. To pull him down for that reason has generated anger on Capitol Hill. Theyre reaching too far on this one, a solid leader of the American Jewish community told us. Going after Zablocki for his Israel votes could be counterproductive.

Zablockis Middle East voting pattern does show unusual independence from one of Washingtons best organized lobbies. He helped the Ford administration to reduce this years Israeli arms budget. He fought a hard though losing battle against Secretary of State

Henry Kissingers plan to put American technicians in the Sinai on grounds it constituted dangerous U.S. intervention a position defying Israels wish.

Israels staunchest friends on the International Relations Committee, led by shrewd Rep. Ben Rosenthal of New York, privately grumble about Zablockis independence on the Mideast. The result: about two months ago, Rosenthal began circulating a memorandum questioning Zablockis right to inherit the chairmanship.

Rosenthals memorandum has failed to kick up any mass movement to purge Zablocki. One Democratic member, a supporter of Zablocki for chairman, told us the most interesting aspect of the memorandum is its transparent effort to broaden the fight against Zablocki beyond the Arab-Israeh conflict.

Three of five Zablocki votes singled out for criticisri* dealing with Rhodesian chrome, aid to South Korea and Chile and trade with Communist Vietnam have nothing to do with Israel. On each of these votes, Zablocki opposed the majority of House Democrats. So, says

the Rosenthal memorandum. Gem Zablocki is out of step with his party in the House.

Zablocki is also denounced for having joined the advisory council of the now suspect South Korean Chiltimal and Freedom Foundation (supposedly aligned with the Korean CIA) and for military aid to South Korea without hampering that issue, however, were the present and future Speakers -Rep. Carl Albert of Oklahoma and Rep. Thomas P. ONeill of Massachusetts.

In truth, Rosenthals campaign is not about South Korea but about Israel. On Feb. 24, Zablocki publicly attacked the double standard under which Israel was to receive $1.5 billion in military aid in sales credits. On the principle of calling a spade a spade, he told the House, the aid bill should truthfully say that Israel was receiving half the arms as a grant rather than a sale with repayment waived.

Similarly, he told the House early this year that the U.S. must recognize that the national security interests of our country must come first and that for many reasons a

Strength For Today

RATIONALISM AND FAITH

There was a sect in Jesuss time known as Sadducees. They opposed Jesus and his ministry, and along with the Pharisees helped bring him to his death. We are told that these Sadduc^ disbelieved in angels and in the possibility of a spiritual life. They were the rationalists of their day.

The sect of Sadducees perished long ago. But they exist today in the form of modern rationalists who will not acknowledge the existence of God and the

On the evening of Dec. 6, 1971, a little more than five years ago, the Board of Education of Madison, Wis., held a regularly scheduled, public meeting. A local school teacher by the name of Albert M. Holmquist made a short speech. His presentation lasted approximately two and a half minutes. And thereby hangs this tale.

It is an ominous tale, carrying overtones that should make us pause to listen. We may hear the heavy footsteps of public employee unionism in a free society; and we ought to ask where the path is taking us.

A majority of the teachers in Wisconsins School District 8 were members of a labor union, Madison Teachers, Inc. (MTI). Off and on throughout 1971, the union and the Board of Education had engaged in

collective bargaining. One of the sticking points was MTIs demand for what is known as a fair share provision in a contract for 1972.

The term is misleading. In my own biased view, extortion is a more descriptive word. The union teachers were demanding that nonunion teachers pay the union the same fees and dues they would pay if they belonged to the union. The payments were to r^resent their fair share of the cost of collective bargaining. The nonunion teachers, mind you, never asked to be represented by MTI; they did not want to be represented by MTI; and they bitterly resented the prospect of having their own money extorted from them as the price of holding their jobs.

Holmquist was then a leader of the non-union

Other Editors Say

Defense Cuts ?

(Jacksimville (N.C.) Daily News)

Jimmy Carter will not be the first president to discover that campaign promises often are much easier to make than to fulfill. On the campaign trail he accused the Ford administration of allowing waste and mismanagement to bloat the defense budget, and assured voters he could find ways to cut it by $5 to $7 bUlion without je(^ardizing national security.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has a more intimate knowledge of the defense budget than Mr. Carter could be expected to have as a candidate, has issued a word of warning to the incoming administration as he prepares to step down. He says it would inject a fundamental instability, into world affairs if Mr. Carter tries to fulfill his campaign promise at any cost.

Mr Rumsfeld is concerned that defense cutbacks would have world wide r^rcusslons if they give the impression that the United States is willing to let its defense capabUity stand stUl or deteriorate whUe the Soviet Union is engaging in an obvious arms build-up.

A defense establishment that is costing more than $100 biUlon a year deserves as much scrutiny for waste and mismanagement as any part of the federal bureaucracy. If Mr. Carter can find ways to save money through greater efficiency at the Defense Department, he should do so. What Mr. Rumsfeld is saying - and what Mr. Carter should heed - is that saving money by scrapping entire weapons programs or making unilateral cutbacks in our forces overseas is quite another rndttsr

Mr. Rumsfeld believes Mr. Carter will find fiiat the defense budget cannot be cut significantly at all without the unsettling results he foresees. If thats the case, we hqie the new president wUl be more influenced by the facts than by his campaign promise. Its no crime, as history shows, for presidents to admit that not everything in their platform can be delivered.

teachers. He had circulated a petition among like-minded colleagues, asking the Board T)f Educatkm to have the fair share proposition studied by an impartial committee. More than 400 District 8 teachers had signed the petition.

Keep in mind, if you wUl, that the Boards meeting that evening was in no sense a negotiating session with MTI.

It was an open, public meeting, accessiWe to any concerned citizen or taxpayer. Three to four hundred union teachers were there. The unions president made a long presentation. When it appeared that Holmquist wanted to ^leak, the unions business manager tried to dissuade him from speaking. Holmquist would not be dissuaded. He made his brief pitch, presented his petition, answered a single question, and sat down.

.^This. is what happened next: The union filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, charging the Board of Educatkm with an unfair labor practice by permitting Holmquist to ^>eak. It is incredible. What is even more incredible is that this ludicrous complaint was upheld by the commission. It found the board guilty; and that finding was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

The'tale has a happy ending. Two weeks ago the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed the Wisconsin decision. In a stinging opinion by Chief Justice Burger, the Court held that to permit one side of a debatable public question to have a monopdy in expressing its views to the government is the antithesis of constitutional guarantees. Non-union teachers, the Court ruled, still have their First Amendmit right of free speech.

The unions effort to gag a dissenter, and to punish the board for even listening to him at a public meeting, is entirely characteristic of a public employee unions concept of collective bargaining. Once such a union gains recognition as an exclusive bargaining agent, (Continued on page 5)

WASHINGTON (AP) -Jimmy Carter looked just a bit voBusj the night a Mlow Democrat declared that H was no time to put rooUei in charge of the goverraneirt. Afto* all, Carter, then a candidate, was something of a rookie himsdf.

Howlett was talking about putting Thmnpson, a rookie, in charge of Uie government of Illinois udien be made the remark at a Democratic convention in Chicago during the fall campaign.

But Carter had been campaigning as a non-Washington candidate, a government outsider, if not a rookie.

Furthermore, he had said he meant to instaU a new gOKration of leadm in top positions of the govomment if he became president.

But President-elect Carter evidenUy sees the mertts of seasoning, seniority and experience now that he is selecting a cabinet.

He made that clear on Monday in dealing with Bie question of an enlarged role for Macks and tor women, saying it will take time to develop a larger pool of (pialified minority candidates for cablnet4evel posts.

ByJOHNCUNNIFF . AP Business Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - Keep in mind these items that might have an impact on your pocketbookin 1977:

1. Home mortgage lenders are becoming more and more exasperated by what they feel is the illogic of guaranteeing a fixed borrowing rate on loans.

Donald Kaplan of the Federal Home Loan Board, a federal agency, put it this way:

What other businessman, whose cost of materials is not fixed, contracts to driiver gxxls and services for 30 years on a fixed-price contract?

With the world apparently going through a proi<mged ppriod of economic in-smbiiity, during which interest rates might ri or fall precipitously, you can look

for lenders to raise their pressure for variable-rate loans.

As applied to mortgages, such loans would rise or fall in accordance with the general level of rates, or costs the lender must pay in order to have money to laid.

2. Gommercial banks are seeking to end the interest rate differential that permits savings banks to pay a higher rqtuni on savings.

At the moment, savings banks are permitted to pay up to 5.25 per cent on ordinary passbook savings, and 7.75 per coit on certificates of deposit. Commercial banks are limited to 5 and 7.50 per cojt, re^)ectivdy.

The commercial banks are quite unluqipy about this situation, especially since their big, wholesale Ixisiness has been off this year. They are probably more interested

in small retail customers than ever before.

The big commercial banks, therefore, are fitting to end Regulation Q, which oiforces the differential on them. They want to be able to offer borrowers an Interest rate attractive as that paid by the thrifts.

But theres a catch about which you should be aware: Whereas the thrift institutions have been offering the top rates of 5.25 and 7.75 per cent, the commercial banks have not.

3. Municipal bond funds are the latest rage in the mutual fund industry.

The munifunds are catching on strongly among small investors, who seem to have become decidedly conservative. For an investment of as little as $1,000, a buyer can take advantage of the tax-exempt <piality of

municipal bonds.

Because they are not federally taxed, an interest rate of 6 par ceM on one of these securities, typically issued by a city or achool district or municipal authority, can be the equivalent of 9 pw cent or more offered on a taxable security, depending upon the buyers tax bracket.

Many people seem to think that such securities Involve little or no risk, since the taxing powN' of die issuer

stands behind the bonds. But many buyers fail to recognize the obvious, whidi is:

Municipal bonds conunonly

WASmNGTON (AP) - Tlie selection by President-elect Carter of Atlanta lawyer Griffin E. Bell as his attorney general is spurring statements of regret and alarm from the Con-gresskmal Black Caucus and from top NAACP officials.

S<mie Mack leaders who said Bell was not acceptable were making their first public criticism of Carter or his appoint-moits. They said they found it hard to credit Carters statement that after an intense, nationwide search, the best quali-fled individual he could And for attorney general was a Itmg-time friend who su^wrted G. Hamdd Carswells nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1970.

Margaret Bush Wilswt, chair-rnnn of fho NAAfT national

board, said she sent a telegram to Carter urging him not to name Bell, whose appointment, she said, would be keenly resented by those of us deeply involved in the civil rights movement and concerned about the role of the court in securing and protecting the rights of black Americans.

The Black Caucus sent Carter a telegram noting the growing feeling of uneasiness and concern across the nation ... and the development of some frustration, according to Rq>. J. Parren Mitchell, D-Md.

Both blacks and womens groups were part of the coalition Carter assembled to defeat President Ford. In return for their support, he promised to outstrip previous adminis-

substantial increase of military asststanre to Israel is not in our coiadrys best interests.

So kxig as Zablocki was only No. 2 Democrat and not chairman of the House committee dealing with foreign pdicy, such devlational behavior was tolerated. But an effort to keep him from becoming chairman was made inevitable by the flashy Arab peace offensive against Israel - and by Rosenthals plan to introduce an air-tight ban on the Arabs anti-Israel boycott the day Congress convenes. Obviously, the pro-Israel lobby wants a pro-Israel chairman of the committee that will consider

Fred Bond, manager of the Flue Cured Stabilization (^rp. pointed to the basic problem, that of a hi^ inventory of down-stalk tobacco, (fompiuiies, he said, were not willing to pay support prices for the lower leaves.

Two years ago, according to Bond, the StaMlizatk inventory was less than 100 million pounds of tobacco. Now, he explained, the inventory is in excess of 600 million pounds, 67% of which is down-stalk leaf grades.

If some action is not taken to prevent the build-up of these tobaccos, Bond said, the Stabilizatioa pn^am will be in serious trouble.

Another problem cited by Bond is the amoimt of sand contained in leaf sold at auction.

He said in 1975, Stabilization bought 18 million pounds of sand akmg with the tobacco purchased. Bmd said $15.6 million was paid for sand contained in the leaf.

Lanier cited other problems affecting the program, including decreasing exports and increasing imports, and the increased costs to fanners who lease tobacco poundage.

trations in appointing blacks and women to policy-making positions.

Carter thus far has announced 11 major appointments, including seven cabinet jobs, the ambassador to the United Nations, the chairman of the Council of Ecmiomic Advisers and the head of the Office of Management and Budget. One appointee has been a black U.N. Ambassador-designate Andrew Young. Juanita Kreps became the first female when she was named secretary of commerce on Monday.

Feminists said they were pleased, but not satisfied, by Carters choice of Mrs. Kreps. Her appointment is not enough, said Jane McMichaei, head of the National Womens Political Caucus.

Mrs. Kreps lrself mildly joined in criticism of Carter at the news conference Monday at which she was nominated. Someone has remarked recently I think it was Gloria Steinem that in the case of the search for women that it was men who did the searching. I do think that we simply have to do a better job of looking, in the case of tmth women and minorities. And I understand Mr. Carter to be saying that that is precisely what we will do, she said.

Carter defended the selection of Bell, in whom civil rights groups have found at least two flaws. Bell was a top aide to a segregationist governor of Georgia in the 1960s, and he supported Richard Nbcons nomination of Carswell to the Supreme Court in 1970. Cars

well was criticized as a segre- civil rights record as siqrerb, gationist by some senators. The and he maintained that there Senate refused to confirm him. could be no justifiable criticism

Carter characterized Bells of him on that count.

Goldsboro Boy Autistic Poster Child

GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) Two years ago, Tommy Surratt started acting as though he couldnt hear well. He had been a normal child for 5/^ years so his parents took him to specialists but nothing was found to be wrong.

It turned out the boy is autistic. He is one of 100,000 American children afflicted with the disorder. Simply put, the problem is that Tommy and others like him have a disorder that affects the way the brain assimilates the senses.

Tommy is now a symbol of the heartbreaking dismtler. He has been chosen the poster child of the National Society for Autistic Children.

The son of Dr. and Mrs. James Surratt, Tommy, like other autistic children, has no contact vrith reality and cannot rdate to others which becomes more apparent with age. The cause of autism is not known and it is found worldwide in every social class.

New Dog License Requirement

A new requirement for the registration of dogs in the city is going into effect as a result of action by the City Council at the October meeting.

Under the new requirement, effective Jan. 1, applications for d(% licenses in the city will be made to the Pitt County tax sipervisor at the time property taxes are listed. Declaration of dog ownership will constitute an application.

The new format provides for the $1 license fee to be paid at the same time property taxes are paid.

Dog owners ^ouid go by the tax electors office at city hall to pick up a permanent tag dur

ing the month of January.

Once the animal Is registered, annual registration and tag replacement will not be necessary. However, annual application for licenses must be submitted to the Pitt tax supervisor and the $1 license fee paid annually with the property taxes.

The tax receipt after the Initial regstration will constitute a license.

The provisions for dog owners who are not required to list property taxes remain the same. Those provisions call for direct regstration, licensing and payment of the $1 fee to the city tax collector.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Candlelight vlgls to oppose the death penalty are planned for nine Southern states Christmas Eve, one of them in view of a prison in which 41 men await execution.

It will show a contradiction of a natkm celebrating the birth of Christ on one hand and about to kill more than 200 pecle in the next year," said Joseph B. Inge, director of the Southern (Coalition on Jails and Prisons which is spcmsoring the vigils.

Inge, 30, is a minister of the United Church of Christ. The coalition represents churches and prisoner aid organizations in every Southern state, he said.

There are 271 inmates sentenced to die in 12 Southern state and 122 inmates in North Carolina and 47 in Louisiana were spared the death penalty by court rulings. In Virginia, four persons on death row were spared when their sentences were commuted by the governor.

Funded by donations from civic clubs, individual churches and persons supporting the cause, the coalition has been in existence for about three years. It began as a movement to improve the lot of prisoners but when the U.S. Siqireme Court ruled in favor of the death penalty last summer, it took up the anti-capital punishment cause, Inge said.

In North Carolina and Louisiana, the coalition is trying to prevent new capital punishment laws from being passed and in states where the laws exist, repeal is being sought, Inge said.

The candleligit vigls will generally be at courthouses but in North Carolina it will be at the Legislative Building in Raleigh, which will be vacant. In Tennessee, the vigil will be

in Nashville in front of the prison, in view of the inmates, Inge said.

There will be religious services in conjunction with the vigil in Asheville, N.C., and in New Orleans, a march is planned, he said.

Vigls are also planned in Florida, with 78 persons on death row; Georgia, with 67; Mississippi, with 24; South Carolina, with 26; Alabama, with four; and Kentucky, with three.

There are no vigils planned in Texas, with 48 on death row; Virgnla; and Arkansas, with sbc.

The vigils are planned for 7 p.m. with some possibly lasting untU midnight.

The big issue were trying to raise is the moral question involved in the state killing someone. Execution is just a nice word for murder, Inge said.

The problem with the death penalty is that it is an emotional issue," he said, adding that rational arguments will not change someones mind.

The vigl will be a symbolic act in that it will raise the mor-

Israel's Hawks, Doves Prepare For Showdown

By MARCUS EUASON Associated Press Writer

JERUSALEM (AP) - Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabins resignation has set the stage for an election showdown between Israels doves and hawks over future moves toward peace with the Arabs.

Rabins resignation Monday nigit was a tactical maneuver designed to undercut rivals within his ruling Labor party and take Israel to the polls before an embryonic centrist movement could get strong enough to challenge him.

The government was preparing a bill dissolving the Knesset and calling an election for a new parliament. There must be at least 143 days between the resipation of the cabinet and the balloting, and an election in late May was expected. This would be five months before the Knessets term would have ended.

Meanwhile, Rabin and his cabinet remain in office as a caretaker government.

Rabins chief opponents in the election will be the rightwing Likud bloc, which advocates annexation of all Arab territory Israel occupied in the 1967 war. It won 39 of the 120 Knesset seats to the Laborites 51 in the 1973 election.

Rabin advocates retention of some of the oc-

ciqiied territory, including the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the east coast of the Sinai peninsula overlooking the approach to Elat, Israels southern port. But he proposes to trade most of the West Bank of the Jordan river, the Gaza Strip and the rest of the occupied Sinai for peace with the Arabs.

There is no chance of the Arabs ageeing to either position.

Rabin used a dispute with the National Religous party (NRP) over a government ceremony that lasted until after the start of the Jewish Sabbath as the pretext for the government upheaval. The NRP was the second largest member of the government coalition. When another religious party brou^t a motion of no-confidence accusing the government of desecrating the Sabbath, the NRPs 10 members in the Knesset abstained. Rabin said this constituted the NRPs withdrawal from his cabinet, ending his parliamentary majority and forcing him to resip.

A former army chief of staff and ambassador to Washington, Rabin succeeded Prime Minister Golda Meir in 1974 because he was free of blame for Israels initial setback in the 1973 war with the Arabs.

al, religious and ethical issues involved in killing any human being, he said.

Alan McGregor, 25, of Durham, who heads the North Carolina arm of the coalition, said the organization will buy radio ads to protest the death penalty when the legislature convenes next month.

In addition, he said, supporters are going door-to<loor urging those opposed to the death penalty to write their legislators and are discussing the issue with those people who support it.

When the le^slature has a death penalty bill in committee, McGregor said, public hearing will be demanded and people (^posing it will be on hand to show that not all North Carolinians favor it.

In Tennessee, the legislative committee will be asked to have public hearing in a number of cities, which is allowed under that states law, Ingle said.

We dont expect to win in any of these states, to be honest with you. But we intend to give them a scrap, Ingle said, adding that the publicity will

help show that there is an anticapital punishment feeling in the South.

All of those working for the organization are natives of the South, Ingle said. For example, he said, hes from Raleigh but now living in Nashville and McGregor is an Atlanta native

Were aii home grown. They cant accuse us of being Yankees coming down South and telling them how to run their business, Ingle said.

A primary goal of the organization, Ine said, is public education. That is accomplished through mailings^ speeches to civic groups and efforts such as Death Penalty Sunday on Jan. 9 during which ministers in the region are being asked to address the issue.

The idea the organization is trying to get across, Ingle said, is that everyone is responsibie.

If someone is executed. Im still responsible. It doesnt matter anymore if I opposed it...Its a collective re^nsi-bUity."

We watched Tommys behavior crumble. No one knew what happened, Mrs. Surratt said.

Tommys bdiavior ranges from complete withdrawal to running wildly, smashing into people and objects.

I cannot tell you the number of displays knocked over; the number of people pushed or screamed at when I attanpted to take him shotting with nae, Mrs. Surratt said.

He requires constant supervision and is enrolled in a school for autistic children. Mrs. Surratt said she sees some improvement.

When I discovered what was wrong with Tommy I was dumbfounded. If you have a child, e^ially a pretty bri^t one who you expect to do so many things and then you suddenly found out he had no real future... Mrs. Surratt said.

What do we do when hes 16? Surratt said.

The boy has no fear and will do such things as run into a street without looking, Mrs. Surratt said. To keep him from sneaking out, the Surratts installed bells on the doors of their home.

When an autistic child becomes too much to handle et home, he is usually institutionalized for life. There is no alternative offered by society, Surratt said, adding that he and his wife will keep Tommy at home as long as possible.

Being national poster child will mean that Tommy will have his picture taken with actress Joanne Woodward, national chairman of the Society for Autistic Children. There will also be trips on behalf of the organizatira.

The Surratts decided to go along with him being poster child. We did not like the idea of Tommy being placed in the public limelight, but it was an honor, Mrs. Surratt said, adding that most people feel pity for the boy, but shouldnt. Heshappy.

puUic is concerned, an ap-{winted board can be more easily contrtriled, manipulated by the city councU. PersmiaUy, I think we can get a better board through an a^winted board, but people want more accountabUity -which they fed they can gd from dected boards.

The input provided at the discussion period will be presented by the McGrath committee to the city councU at its January meeting.

Supt. Glenn Cox r^Torted that a $60,000 bid fw the Lynndaie property had bem received from Dr. Charies L. Broome. The bid must remain open ten days for a possible upset, Cox rqwrted. Under the schedule outlined in state law, an tqisd bid would have to be for a minimum of $83,050 to be considered.

11 schod board wUl have to decide immediatdy after 5 p.m. on DecembM' 28 whether to accept m reject Dr. Broomes $60,000 bid for the property. Two monbers. Dr. James Bearden and MUes Frost asked that the record show they wUl not vote on Uie decision due to professional reasons.

Cox presented a study proposal fm* a pdicy tor sick leave, matmiity leave, and leave of absence for teacbos in the GreenvUle aty School system. Board members wUl study the proposal and the subject wUl be on the January agenda.

Status repo^ on construction progress tfar the period ending Nov. 30) on the roof at Aycock Junior High and the GreenvUle Middle Schod were presorted by Cox. Both reports were prepared by the firm of Dudley and 9ioe, Architects.

At Aycock, approximatdy 30 per cent of the new TROCAL roof syston is completed. It is expected that work during the Oiristmas holidays wUl bring wvHt iq> to SO per cent conqrlete, with aU woric planned for completion by the end of January.

The report noted that due to the problems that arose afto- the receipt of bids and the dday in gdting the contract completed

with the successful bidder (Moser Heating And Roofing Co.), actual production work did not get underway untU the first of October.

Another problem, not in the rdMit but mentioned by Cox, is that of leakage that has devdoped in certain areas. We have been assured there wUl be no problem in the r^lacement of damaged ceUing tUes. All iiabUity for any damage to the ceUlng, to waUs, paint or other damage wUl go back to the contractor, Cox said.

Construction work on the Middle School, the lAxUey and Shoe report shows, is generaUy satisfactory at this point; and the (general Contractor has been requested to man the site with a larger work force.

The board approved low bids on three phases of renovation work at Third Street School, bids procured in November through a tdq?honepdl.

Tte acceptable bids are for $24,700 for window replacement; $5,823 for exterior doors; and $7,701 for faciers, gutters and qxxits; for a total of $30,924 in bids.

Bids received through the p<Ul on acoustical tUe and ceUing tUe were rejected as being too high. Bids for these items and for dec-trical and plumbing materials wUl be decided (mi (focided cm in eariy January.

There was no one on board the tanker when it split.

As seas and frozen spray pounded the vessel, oiviron-mentaiists were taking action to deal with the oil. Massachusetts Environmental Affairs Secretary Evelyn Murphy told The Associated Press that private contractors were being sought to stand by if the oil washed ashore.

The Coast Guard said as of Wednesday it has already spent $500,0(XI on attempting to free the ship.

H)e tanker is stuck on sand near the western edge of Georges Bank for centuries one of the most prolific fishing grounds of the world.

The tankers oil posed a new and deadly threat to Yankee fishermen trying to wrest a living from the sea off New England. The oil that has skilled and leaked into the sea has contaminated some shellfish and crippled or killed nu-sands of sea birds.

Alabama Smashes UCLA, 36-6

By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Whats all this garbage about Alabamas bowl jinx?

A year ago, Bear Bryant and the Crimson Tide snapped a string of eight fruitless bowl ventures by defeating Penn State in the Sugar Bowl.

And Monday night, the foxy old Bear dusted off his well-

stocked bag of tricks for a Liberty Bowl record crowd of 52,-736 and a national tdevision audience, and Alabama smashed seventh-ranked UCLA 3&S fw the biggest mismatch in the 18-year history of the game.

It was the first victory in three tries for Alabama, which hdped inaugurate the Liberty Bowl in frigid Philadelphia in 1959.

The game was billed as the venerable 63-year-old Bear against Terry Donahue, UCLAs rookie coach, who was bom just one year before Bryant got his first head coaching job. And the old master taught the young coach a football lesson (me Donahue wont soon forget.

We brought the whoopee out, Bryant whooped after

The 27-year-(dd Gay made the call Monday morning to a Cam

Didn't For Gay

Remembered As Likeable

By TOM FOREMAN Jr. Reflector Sports Writer

And it seems the good, they die young.

As many people as Blenda Gay had met w^ile he was in high school, it seemed he had offjd-ed no one. Most people praised him for his school work and all-around fine character. Though he wasnt the greatest of defensive linemen, Gay always had the desire to play football His desire carried him to Fayetteville State University, thou^ he preferred GramUing, where he could get more exposure. His efforts at the school were rewarded by an offer by the Oakland Raiders in 1972.

The road then went from the west coast to the bright lights of New York city and the Jets. The Jets then sent Gay back to Oakland, who later sent him to San Diego. In the 1975 training period.

Eagle head coach Dick Vermeil said that Gay had morecharacter than talent, but had hoped for improvement (ran him fiN* the next season.

da was determined to be what be is, a football player. He loved football,she said.

Mrs. Gay said she couldnt stand to watch a game of fotball because she did not want to see anyone get hurt. So when Blenda prepared for a game, she usually left the room.

T(Mn Liverman was one of Gays football coaches at H.B. Sugg High School, now an elementary school. Liverman said Gay had to overcome the stigma of being the largest kid on the s(]uad with everyone picking on him because of his size.

He hadnt reached his potoi-tlal in high school, Liverman said. Gay never matured in football until college.

Liverman characterized Gay as somewhat clumsy, but added he was a very conscientious young man.

Mrs. Lillie Graham was Gays guidance counselor at Sugg. She said he was involved in many school-sponsored activities. He was quite involved, and active in football and basketball, Mrs. Graham added. I wouldnt have wanted to know a nicer person.

With the acctdades of his teachers and friends, and the admiration of coaches and teammates, Mrs. Gay in simple terms stated what most people close to Blenda Gay felt.

Hes one good boy . . . Ill miss him.

slashed. Authorities said be was stabbed in his sleep with an eight-inch kitchen knife.

Mrs. Gay, 25, was arraigned Monday on a general charge of homicide at a 10-minute hearing before Judge Peter (^(htuzz. She was jailed in lieu of $100,000 bond.

The Camden County prosecutors office said the de%e of the homicide charge would be determined after an investigation. Mrs. Gay also was charged with atrockxc assault and battery, police said.

The couples 3-year-old daughter, Fonda, was in the apartment when the stabbing took place, police said.

Hugh KeUy, the Gloucester Township public safety director, said there was a history of domestic problems in the family. Kelly said police visited the Gay apartment several times, the last time on Saturday.

Police (Siief Seth SUchler said, however, Theres nothing ,,which indicates a brawl took place.

Mrs. Gays att(ney, Jeffrey Mill*, said Gay physically abused his cltejt. In her statement to police, Mrs. Gay reportedly said she was afraid of her husband.

News of the 6-foot-5, 225-pound linemans death sent shock waves through the Eagle (Mganization.

Coach Dick Vermeil said, Its a tragic thing. Heres a young guy with everything going for him and hes gone. He didnt have a great deal of talent, but he gave you everything he had.

North Candina romped to an 29iK>int victory over Brigham Young as the Tar Heds played at home but North Carolina State fell to an 18-point loss on the road.

The Tar Heels came out with the pleasant side of a 113-93 basketball game but the only other Atlantic Coast Oxiference team on the court Monday night, N.C. State, feU by a 78-60 margin to Michigan State.

The tone of the Tar Heel victory was set in the first half as the lOth ranked team showed some hot 64 per cent shooting from the floor and went to the locker room with a 66-35 lead.

Am<g the shooters for North Carolina, Tommy LaGarde racked up 21 points, rookie Mike OKoren had 20, John Kuester had 20 and Walter Davis came iqi with 17.

Until about midway the opening half it was fairly close with the Heels leading 24-20 with 9:43 left. Then the Rams dazzled the crowd of 10,000.

Ive never seen such basketball in my 20-odd years of coaching as I did in that 10-

minute ^>an. It was utterly devasting, said Brigham Young Ctoach Frank Arnold, a former UCLA assistant.

OKoren was the top scorer in the flrst half with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

N(Mlh Carolina is now 5-1 while the Cougars fell to 5-3.

Four of the Cougars also scored in double figures. Jay Cheesman and Verne Thompson each pumped in 18, Vance Law racked iq> 17 and Mark Handy had 13.

The Wol^cks defeat by Michigan was considered an iqiset by a (]uickly improving team. The Spartans, now 3-4, took an early lead and kept it through the evening, giving the Pack a 3-3 mark.

Just two weeks ago, Ninlh Carolina mauled the Spartans 81-58.

Kenny Carr led the weak North Carolina State attack, racking up 21 points, the Wolf-packs only player to make it into double figures.

TTie Spartans had a 38-29 halftime lead thai early in the second half essentially salted the victory away. With a lead of 44-35, Michigan State scored 12 unanswered points to have a 56-35 lead with 13:22 left.

Michigan State played very, very well, said Wolfpack (Doach Norm Sloan. I cant say

that we didnt play well because Michigan State did a lot to make us look bad. Were young and are just experiencing growing padns.

Carr was slowed by an ankle injury and hadnt practiced in the last week, but Sloan said that was no excuse.

Even if we had played well. Im not sure we could have beaten Michigan State. It came to play and did an excellait job.

MARKET PLUNGES

TEMPE, Ariz. (UPI) -Before Arizona States 1976 football season opened, a book, Sun Devil Football 76, Reaching For No. 1, was selling for $5. After the Sun Devils had lost seven of their first nine games, vendors were trying to unload remaining copies at a dollar each.

HIGH-SCX)RING CHICAGO (UPI) - The Chicago club that won the first pennant in baseballs National League in 1876 averaged 9.5 runs per game and had a team batting average of .337. Its opponents scored an average of 3.9 runs.

16th-ranked Alabama trotted out such gimmicks as a 20-yard fleaflicker touchdown pass from halfback Tony Nathan to quarterback Jack ORear, an underhand shovel pass for a key 19-yard gain and an unbalanced line.

Needless to say, I doubt if Ive ever beej prouder of a team, particularly the senkn^, for coming back tremeodously from nothing in the early part of the season.

After a rocky 2-2 beginning, Alabama finished with a 9-3 record. Hie losers wound igi 9-2-1.

The Bruins, who committed no fewer than 13 faring errors including three interceptions, a lost fumble and two costly penalties had all sorts of explanations for their loss. They blamed the wind and the fact that they had really wanted to go to the Rose Bowl in sunny California, as Pacific-8 Conference champions. And at tbnes they seaned like numbed statues in the near-freezing temperatures and a wind (Ml factor of 11 degrees.

I wanted to play tonight, said quarterback Jeff Dan

kworth, but I think we fdt it wasnt a game that would make our season. I fliink maybe we felt it was kind of a considation game for us. We didnt have intensity or flie, which I think was obvious, and we omibined that with the fact that we sat back and waited for something to hablen.

BiKky Berrey set a Liberty Boed rec(Md with fleld goals of 37, 25 and 28 yards. Linebacker Barry Krauss rumbled 44 yards with an intercepted pass after tackle (3iarles Hannah deflected it. Johnny Davis and Rkk Watson scored on one-yard plunges the latter with just 22 seconds to play plus the Nathan-to^Rear fleaflicker.

Krauss, who was not sure he was even going to play much this year, was named the games outstanding (gayer. Besides his intx:eptk for Alabamas first touchdown, he made two key tackles on a goal-line stand at Qie one-yard line late in the second quarter.

Donahue, who called it a good old country licking, disagreed with Dankworth and said his team was ready to play.

Jamesville Girls Are Off To Best Start In Several Years

ByW(X)DYPEELE Reflects Sports Editor

JAMESVILLE - Last year, Jamesville Hi^i Schools girls basketball team struggled throu^ a 2-18 season, and added another year to a string of non

productive ones.

But this year, the Lady Bullets are off to a flying start, posting a 5-2 record so far. So no matter what, things are better than theyve been recently.

this year, Deborah Wilson and shes helped the team make the turnaround, despite not having coached basketball before.

Only one girl was graduated off last years team, and there are only three seniors on this years squad, and only two of them start, giving the team a lot to look forward to also.

So far, were doing super, Miss Wilson said. They are working well with the ball. The key to the way theyve been playing is that theyve been playing basic, fundamental ball.

The two seniors who are starting are Tempe Modlin and Rene Martin, while Bettie Lou Davis is the other senior. Joyce Manning, a sophomore, EkUth James, a junior, and Lorey Modlin, another sophomore, round out the starting lineup.

Most of the time, weve been shooting anywhere from 36 to 50 per cent from the floor, and this is real good for a girls team, Miss Wilson said. Weve also been hitting 45 to 66 per cent of our free throws. Were playing team ball, and I think weve got a strong bench, too.

Miss Wilson lists her top reserves as junior Kim Hardison, sophomore Jeanette Barber and freshman Mika Ellis.

^Rebounding has been another good part of the Lady Bullet game. Weve been able to outrebound most of the teams weve played so far, the coach said. Tempe is our best rebounder. She got 18 in one game. Miss Modlin is among the tallest of the Jamesville girls at 5-8.

We have a lot of speed, and we move the ball well. We have

Miss Wilson said the team spirit has picked up this year with the victories. We have some good material. The girls are working hard, and theyre dedicated. I think its going to be a good year for us.

In the Beaufort-Hyde-Martin ctmference. Miss Wils<i feels that the race will be a tig^t one. Jamesville has already claimed a win over last years champs, Belhaven, which returned its whole lineiqi.

ASU Again Tops List

BOONE, N. C. (AP) - For the sec(Ki straight week, Appalachian State has claimed the Southern (inference basketball player of the week honors with Walter Anderson, a 5-11, 170-pound guard from Wilmington, N. C., getting the nod for his performance in the Mountaineers two games last week.

Anderson pumped in 18 points and scored the winning basket with three seconds to play to lead the Apps to a 67-65 victory over East Tennnessee State Wednesday ni{^t.

Saturday, he again scored 18 as the surprising Mountaineers scared 16th ranked Maryland in the Terps Cole Field House. The final score was 76-74 in favor of Maryland, but Ander-s(His 14 secmd-half points nearly turned the tide.

In that game, the Mountaineers called a time out with 21 seconds to set up a potentiaUy tying shot by Anderson. Maryland defended the rookie well and forced the shot by reserve forward Mark (Campbell with ei^t sectHKls to play. His shot hit the back of the rim and bounced off.

You"never know what Walter is going to do next, says Appalachian coach Bobby Cre-mins. For a freshman, hes unbelievable. We b(^ to set him up for the last shot against Maryland because we had so much cMifidence in him.

He does everything well, yet always stay&cool. He is developing into a great Ooor leader for ASU.

AnderscMi also is the teams leading assist man with 25 in the Mountaineer 5-3 season.

Indiana Out To Improve Record

By The Associated Press

Indiaiuis defending NCAA champions, drummed out of The Associated Press Top Twenty basketball poll today, showed signs of improvement in beating Utah State 79-71 in the opening round of the Hoo-siers Indiana Classic.

We didnt have as many turnovers haiight, Imfiana Coach Bobby Kni^t said Mcm-day ni^t. TTiere was an improvement there. We also had an improvement in the number of kinds of shots we took. Indiana, 3-3 this seasm after an undefeated 1975-76 campaign, got 26 points and 10 rebounds from freshman Mike Woodsm. All-American Kent Benson added 16 points and nine rebounds.

The Hoosiers wUl face Miami of Ohio tcmight for the championship of the four-team tourney. Miami beat previously undefeated Texas Tech 74-63, forward Archie Aidricfa topping the Redskins with 22 points.

A lot of credit goes to assistant Jerry Pairson for his ex-ceUent job of scouting Texas Tech, Miami Coach Darrell Hedric said. We knew they were inside-oriented and would try to go to Mike Russell. Our game plan was to stall their inside game.

Hedric noted Indiana and Miami have similar styles. Both use the passing game, and both are very aggressive. In Monday nights only games invdving nationally ranked teams. No. 10 North Carolina outsccMed Brigham Young 113-93 and No. 18 Arkansas beat Kansas State 8045.

Tommy LaGarde scored 21 points, Mike OKoren bad 20 points and 11 rebounds and Phil Ford dealt out 14 assists as North Carolina cracked the 100-point barrier for the first time this season, inq>roving its record to 5-1.

Arkansas raised its rectml to 74 as Marvin Ddph sc<Hed 28 points and Ron Brewer added 23 before a record crowd of 6,-453 at Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville, Art.

In other games, Matt Simpkins led a balanced Georgia Southon attack with 20 points as the Ea^es upset Southern Illinois 8347.

Sophomore forward Larry Bird, the Missouri Valley C(m-feraxx sc(Nring leader, netted 26 points as Indiana State raised its record to 8-1 with a 7541 victory over West Texas State.

Two free throws by freshman Hasan Houston with 20 seconds in the second overtime hdped Kansas nip St. Louis 69-68. St. Louis now is 0-7, its worst start in SO years.

Bachelor Says Keep Love Letters Conning

By Abigail Van Buren

It7 ky CMc^ TrttoM-N. V. Nm ynd. Inc.

DEAR ABBY: A woman wrote to say she had a secret criish on a man in town shed never met. She confessed to phoning him just to hear his voice, then hanging up. She also bombarded him with anonymous cards and love letters. You told her to cut it out as she was harassing him.

I am a bachelor (well, twice divorced), and 1 met a lady once who developed a mad crush on me. She bedded me and subsequently showered me with loving cards and letters. My coworkers found a few of the cards in the offce, and they started kidding me. They said she was a pest. I concluded that they were probably right, so 1 ignored her.

Well, she quit writing, and now I miss all those cards and love letters.

Abby, please dont tell women not to send loving messages to men about whom they fantasize. We men need them. Its great for the ego. Everyone needs to feel wanted and loved.

SORRY IN SAN FRANCISCO

DEAR SORRY: I disapprove of writing anonymous love letters to strangers. Also phoning and hanging up. This is harassment and can cause one to worry about what the kook wQl do next.

In your case, you knew the woman (in the Biblical sense, too), but you dropped her when coworkers labeled her a pest. Big difterencel

DEAR ABBY: I am an artist. I have talent that took

many years to develop. I ask (and get) good prices for my drawing and paintings, but something burns me up and I would Bke to get it off my chest.

When a prospective customer admires a piece of my work, and he wants it very much, he will ask, How much do you want for it? When I tell him the price, he asks, How LONG did it take you to do it?

My blood pressure shoots sky high! What does THAT have to do with anything? What does it matter if it took me two hours, two months or two years to do it? If the piece is pleasing and the customer wants it, that should be enough. An artist is not like a ditch digger who is {>aid by the hour!

There, I nally got this off my chest, and I feel better. If I see this in your column I will feel like a king.

OFF MY CHEST IN CARMEL

DEAR OFF: Happy to have crowned you.

DEAR ABBY: My teenage daughter has a large nose. She knows its big, but it doesnt seem to bother her. I feel that she shouldnt have to live the rest of her life with something like that when it can be improved by plastic surgery.

I dont want to mention it to her because if she knows it bothers me, it might make her self-conscious.

At what age can this type of surgery be done? How risky is it? How much does it cost? And should I keep quiet about it?

NOSEY MOM

DEAR MOM: That type of surgery is usually performed when a girl is about 17 or 18, but your plastic surgeon is better qualified to answer your medical questions. And if you don't want your daughter to know that her nose bothers you, keep YOUR nose out of it.

Machine Replaces Human Behringer

WILUAMSURG, Va. (AP) -The College of WUliam and Mary has quietly {rfiased out the last in a centuries-long line of bell-ringers and rq>laced him with a machine.

Fot years, custodian Charlie Cook has rung the bell in the cupola <rf the historic Christ-ofer Wren Building to signal the start ,and aid of class periods, as decreed in the cdl^s royal charter of 1893.

But now hes obsdete. Hiree months ago, the cdlege brought in an automatic machine to do the Job.

The machine, unlike people, never forgets, as Coo* admits he did on a few occasions. It nevOT rings too early or too late.

You had to keep a pretty close check (<m your watch) as you worked, he says. Everyone would miss it sometime.

Hell miss the job. Ringing the 87-year-old bell, W4Ms third over the years, set him apart from oUiot custodians -a break from the monotony of cleaning up, sweeping floors, changing light bulbs.

From a 3-by-2-foot wall panel on the second floor. Cook ^ed a cord to ring the bell 10 or 12 times for the start, and 10 or 12 noore times for the end, of every class.

MARIPOSA, Calif. (UPI) -Five years ago, Richard Coker supplied his wife and three children as an assistant Los Angeles City planner. Today the Cokers live on the proceeds from their wood toys, rubber band guns and facepainting.

Everyone is happier.

Coker, 34, and his wife, Jan, also 34, were among many young American families distressed by the decaying quality of urban life, yearning to move to the country.

In June, 1971, after much discussion, the Cokers piled the kids in a refurbished 1957 ambulance and set off.

They were enroute to Yose-mite National Park when they stopped in Mariposa County. A house was for rent in Bailey Flats, a sparsely pq>ulated remote valley 15 miles from Mariposa. They took it.

Want To Preserve AAountain Culture

By GEORGE W, HACKETT Associated Press Writer

LONDON, Ky. (AP) - A drive throuj^ Appalachia isnt pleasant for Marguerite and Bill Carson. Theyre depressed, they say, by the way pe(H)le destroy their heritage.

The Appalachian is ashamed of his culture, of the way he talks, said Carson. Hes embarrassed to admit that Granddad lived in a log cabin, and he cant wait to bum the damned thing down. Its supposed to be a stigma of poverty and want.

If the pace of destruction continues for the next 10

years, he said, there will be nothing left to remind us of pioneer life in this area.

Carson and his wife speak with the fervor of evangelists when discussing their plan for preserving the cuiture of Appalachia.

On paper, it looks like a simple project, Carson said. All we want to do is move the log cabin in which we live to a 10-acre site along Interstate 75 and establish a folk school. 'The aim would be to expose college students to some of the folklore they have missed, he said.

Youd just pull it. Wap! Wap! Wap! He Imitates the sound of the cord slapping against the beii stop. The first ring was the hardest.... I do miss it.

For Cook, the college had set aside a tiny alcove behind the supply room and furnished it with a small table and chairs.

Through the rippled panes of a tiny octagonal window in the alcove, you can look out over Colonial Williamsburg, all the way down Duke of Gloucester Street to the (xdonial captol.

Cook sits next to the table, which is cluttered with a small mirror and severai small Jars. The aRemoon sun streams over his face as he shivers in his worn, dull green sweater.

Its cold in here, he says.

Hie only sound in the musty, vriiite-walled room comes from the hissing heater and the relentless ticking of the clock that now runs the bell-ringing system.

The Mickey Mouse Clock, Cook calls it, scornfully.

He says he was almost always good at ringing the beil punctually.

Students, theyd get mad if you were late, he says with a chuckle. If you were early, it was all ri0it.

A welcome vacation helped Rose High students gain merry holiday moods. Clubs were undertaking their Christmas related projects. Climaxing in a special assembly, the week provided many activities.

Greenvilles branch of the Salvation Army was aided by several people from Rose. Key Club members. Future Business Leaders of America' and the Keywanettes provided the Salvation Army with a supply of workers for their beli ringing program. Club members rang the bell to raise funrfs for the non-profit making organization.

Christmas parties for the Math and Chess Clubs captured a happy holiday spirit. Whiie listening to Christmas music, members enjoyed refreshments. Distinguished alumni of the

Chess Club were also present at the celebration.

Christmas caroiing and refreshments aRerwards were enjoyed by Keywanettes and Key Club members, who gathered at school Saturday evening and then traveled to neighborhdods throughout Greenville caroling. To warm cold hands and feet, the carolers contented themselves with hot chocolate and dough nuts.

The Anchor Club sold old-fashioned candy canes at school to raise club funds.

Rose High's student body contributed to the purchasing of a custodians gift. Receiving widespread acceptance by the students, the project was sponsored by the Student (3ovem-ment As^iation. The gifts were presented to the custodians at the assembiy Friday afternoon

That dream has been sidetracked. but only temporarily. Carson got an estimate for moving the cabin, then the man who gave it to me just disappeared.

We may have to switch signals. he said, find old buildings, dismantie them and put them together again on our other piece of land.

In fact, the cabin was re-assembled in the same manner 11 years ago.

This living room came from Pistol Creek in Clay County and the two story section was found on Wilderness Road. Its probably the oldest structure in Laurel County, being built either in 17% or 1797, Carson said.

His unemployment ran out. To still qualify for food stamps, Coker had to travel great distances to find work or become self-employed. He chose nervously to be self-employed and make wood toys I wanted to do something that was not going to disturb the ecology.

Coker had a University of Illinois degree in design and graduate work in computer design technique but had never

Job Interview Is Important

WASHINGTON (AP) - Job hunters should be most concerned about the impressions they make, according to the Bureau of National Affairs. The results of a personal interview, says the Bureau, have become the most important reason for hiring non-managerial employes as the use of pre-employment testing declined.

Most companies still give pre-employment physicals and almost half give psychological tests. A few require lie detector tests for sensitive jobs.

Nine out of ten companies reject a candidate for lying on his job application or will fire him if lying is discovered later. Almost ail prospective employers (93 per cent) verify previous employment, and 53 per cit verify education background

made a toy. He studied a book, piSmall is Beautiful by E.F Schumadier.

It has to do with intermediate technology and how you can utilize some of todays technology but on a smaller scale and just try and maximize your efficiency and you can do pretty well. ,

Well, thats what we were trying to do. Being an industrial designer I approached it from the standpoint of efficiency of productkm. We designed it to be labor intensive.

He gathered scrap wood from construction sites to build his prototype cars, trains and planes but soon was purchasing wood and wheels from a Fresno pallet company.

Coker employed four persons, produced 50 toys a day. They sold the toys at crafts fairs and carnivals. Then a Fresno school supplies business made a large order. But the business hit bottom in 1972 when a distributor failed to pay them. They got a small business loan and built a new shop with power saws and tools. They switched from pine to hardwood.

At (Mie fair we saw a girl who had a little paintbrush painting hearts on people and she was doing quite well, said Mrs. Coker. Both Cokers tried their hand at it.

Actually we became pretty well known around fairs for that, Coker said. And the toys have been less tbe reason why fairs try to get us in now and the face painting has become more dominant.

The toymaking business tapered off. The Cokers let the last of their employes go. With eldest son, Keith, 14, they now spend three days a week turning out 50 toys. A big sdler is a rubber band gun not quite lethal like we had when we were kids.

They still just barely get by.

Its time to put out a little more effort ... because there are many things wed like to do that we cant afford to do, not because were trying to make a million ddlars.

Thomas Paine Essay Helped Save A Nation

By DON McLEOD Anodated Pren Writer As a tattered army straggled through Newark, one of Americas first war correspondents sat down before a flickering campfire, took out a wooden pen and paper, rubbed his hands briskly against the cold, and using a drum for a desk, began to write.

These are the times that try mens souls," he confessed.

And what a trial it was! Americas cause was nearly lost. What had begun with such high hopes in the spring of 1775 was ending in disaster in the winter of 1776.

rhe summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, Thomas Paine acknowledged by the fires dim

glow.

Winter was closing bitterly around the bloody and reeling army that had thought to liberate America. Some were dropping from hunger, exhaustion or wounds. But more were just giving up and going home.

It seems as though the few that remain ... are to fall a sacrifice to the British savages," lamented one of the faithful. A Hell itself could not furnish worse beings than subsist in the world where our army are now posted.

It had all been too easy at first. A dis(Hganized mob of angry farmers had driven the mighty Redcoats from Concord to Boston. The British had marched foolishly into an ambush on Bunker Hill. Then by a fortunate placement of artil

lery, George Washington had driven them out to sea.

Congress found the courage to declare the English colonies in America free and independent states to be governed by their own people.

The cocky Americans built forts all over New York to await the return of the Redcoats, confident that the enemy would march into their guns again. But this time it was the Yankees who were duped, outflanked, trapped in their own forts, crushed or sent scattering in panic.

On the appearance of our troops, the rebels fled like scared rabbits, boasted a British officer.

Almost 3,000 Americans were surrendered with Fort Washington. Fort Lee was abandoned

with most of its stores. And George Washington and his chastened citizen soldiers began retreating across New Jersey in the chill rains of November.

By the middle of December Washington had crossed into Pennsylvania, and by destroying or securing all the boats, had stalled the British at the Delaware river.

But how long we shall be able to do it, he con-ceded,God only knows.

The once daring Congress bestowed dictatorial authority on Washington and fled for the safety of Baltimore. In lesser hands such power might have doomed the democratic experiment in America no matter who won the war.

Paine anguished at the de

plorable and melancholy condition the people were in, afraid to speak and almost to think, the public presses stopped, and nothing in circulation but fears and falsehoods.

There was talk of surrender. The frightened Americans turned on each other. Washingtons officers grumbled, and some openly called for a new leader who might be a Manner.

Washington had indeed faltered, had been indecisive, had taken poor advice while failing to assert his own views. He had been outgeneraled and outfought. But he was learning.

Thomas Paine was a transplanted Englishman who had been in America scarcely two years, but he was, nonetheless, describing with gifted insight the character of the country as

well as its general.

A later generation would say that Americans need a kick in the pants, a Pearl Harbor, before they get fighting mad and stir themselves to do what must be done.

In the closing days of our year of national birth. Uncle Sam was being kicked so hard his teeth clattered. But only Paine, Washington, and a few others anticipated the result.

What Paine believed was that America had not yet begun to fight, that crisis would bring out the best in her, that she would care enou^ for her principles to keep them.

"Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, he said for them. But if a thief break into

The South Is Booming,

Northern Economist Soys

By JOHN D. HOPKINS Associated Press Writer

Drop me down in Caroliiie, Caroline, that would be flne. Anyplace below the Dixon

line. -

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -For several years, business seems to have agreed with De-pression-era singer Jimmie Rodgers T)m Souths manufacturing employment outpaced the countrys, and now population and personal income also are growing faster than the average.

Southern politicians, academics and business leaders eventually organized to try to sustain that growth and steer it in desirable directions.

But when the Southern Growth Policies Board met here last week, it was looking uncomfortably over its shoulder at a newer, very similar group. The southerners might well have asked, What is the Northeast-Midwest coalition and why is it saying all those bad things about us?

Some members of the Northeast-Midwest Economic Advancement Coalition charge that the South prospers at the

expense of the older industrial states. They say the South is luring away jobs and is favored with a disproportionate share of federal spending.

The Northeast actually lost factory jobs during a generally expansive 15 years. 'There is understandable concern there about the cause. That concern mounted last May after Business Week published an article entitled, The Second War Between the States: A bitter struggle for jobs, capital, and people.

'The article dramatized the difference in growth rates of the so-called Sun Belt from Arizona to Virginia and the historically industrial states of the Northeast and Midwest.

'The idea has been growing ever since, but it hasnt captured Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman.

In one sense, theres always been an economic war between the states, Friedman said in Miami this past week. But theres no more of one today than there ever has been.

During an Atlanta news conference, President-elect Jimmy Carter also spoke on the subject.

I dont think that you could, with the closest possible analysis, divide the nation into areas of prosperity and those of deprivation, Carter said. I think our problems are nationwide and that focusing of attention on employment (^portun-ities would be much nnore on a community-by-community basis than it would North vs. South.

Speaking to the Boca Raton conference. Commerce Secretary Elliot Richardson also touched on the issue.

Richardson, considering whether to run for office at home in Massachusetts, proposed to change aid formulas to give the North more help. It could keep the Norths problems from having a national impact, he said, and thus help the South in the long run.

A northern intellectual brought the southerners the most comfort. The South is booming because its people want to work and because its leaders arent afraid of economic growth, said policy analyst Herman Kahn, director of the Hudson Institute at Cro-ton-on-Hudson, N.Y.

A job with even modest pay is appreciated in the South

more than in the older industrial areas, Kahn said.

Thats the reason, he said, for the big welfare and unemployment problems in the big northern cites. There, if a man takes a lousy $6,000-a-year job, hes likely to work at it just long enough to earn enough money to afford to take a rest for a while. Then he quits, goes on welfare and takes a little vacation before looking for anoth- er lousy $6,(X)0 job.

Kahns view wasnt new to his audience at the Conference on the Future of the Souths Economy. Some of the 15 states represented already advertise that their workers are more productive than those elsewhere.

If Kahn was the inspiration for the conference, two Ohio economists had the ammunition the southerners wanted against the Northeast-Midwest coalition.

C.L Jusenius of Ohio State University and L.C. Ledebur of Denison University called their report, Myth in the Making: The Southern Economic Challenge and Northern Economic Decline.

New Law Limits

Tax Deductions

By MURRAY J. BROWN UPI Travel Editor

If you are planning to attend business meetings or professional conventions overseas in 1977, take heed. The new Tax Reform Act sharply limits deductions and toughens reporting requirements.

The law, signed by President Ford last October, allows American taxpayers to claim deductions on expenses for no more than two foreign conventions per year, restricts traveling and living allowances and requires meeting attendance records to back up claims.

Reaction to the law varied. Opponents, including some U.S. and foreign travel industry organizations, complained it would drastically reduce fo-' reign travel by Americans. Proponents hailed it as a boost for the domestic convention business.

James P. Low, president of the American Society of Association Executives, in Washington, D.C. is trying to calm the fears of those who feel Sec. 602 on foreign conventions is too restrictive, although he believes changes in the regulations are needed. The ASAE exposed the new law, with Low maintaining that the old regulations adequately cover any potential abuses in foreign travel.

This new law, he said recently, while it does impose a few inconveniences, is still livable. The important thing is not to over-react or panic, but to comply with the law.

Since the official Internal Revenue Service regulations on deductions and reporting may not be available for some months, ASAE has published a Guidelines for Foreign Clon-vention Tax Deductions to clarify in the interim how Sec. 602 will work.

(Copies may be ordered for $1 each from ASAE, 1101 16th St., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036.)

Low said the amount deducted for tran^rtation costs for most travelers the biggest single expense cannot exceed the charge for coach or economy air fare. If the lower-price fare is not available, then the first-class fare is fully

deductible, but you will need documentary proof.

If you are planning a vacation around a meeting or convention overseas. Low cautioned:

Transportation expenses will be deductible in full only if more than one-half of the total days of the trip, excluding transportation time, are devoted to business-related activities.

If fewer than one-half of the days are spent in business-related meetings, a deduction for transportation expenses will be allowed in the ratio of business meeting time to total time.

Deductions for subsistence expenses incurred at the convention, such' as meals, lodgings and other ordinary and

necessary expenses, will be limited to the per diem allowances for U.S. government employees on foreign duty. These rates, set by the Per Diem Allowance Committee for the state departmait, range from as low as $12 in Burma to a high of $104 in Jidda, Saudi Arabia.

But if you want to get the full benefit of the subsistence deductions, dont spend too much time sunning on the beach or combing through the flea markets.

The subsistence expenses can be deducted only if the convention delegates attends two-thirds of the business sessions.

Delaware, Paine rushed to PhUaddphia to find a printer. His little essay, called The CYteis, first appeared 200 years ago today, on Dec. 19, 1776, in the Pennsylvania Jow^ nal.

Paines words rallied a nation. It was not that he persuaded America what she ought to be but he reminded her of w4iat she was.

The art of the prestidigitator lies in diverting tha viewers attantion from the scene of the actioo. South indulged in a neat bit of legerdemain on this hand to get away with some petty larceny.

No maior-suit game contract with four top losers gains our unqualified admiration. The fault here lay almost solely with North. Without a semblance of a trick, he had no business accepting his partners game invitation. As |o often happens. he let possession of a hfth trump go to his head, little realising that it would play no part in the end result.

West led his top heart. East rose with the ace and continued the suit. Faced with the unpleasant reality of still having three top losers, declarer decided to resort to subterfuge. The one advantage of the auction was that it had not revealed the location of declarers high cards, and South made full use of this edge.

At trick two, declarer rose with the king of hearts, then continued with the jack.

discarding a diamond dummy. Now he played the king of spades, losing to Wests ace.

Mindful of the un seemly haste with which dcclanr took a diamond discard. West shifted to a diamond, and that was that. Declarer won in dummy and drew trumps. Now he took three more diamond tricks, discarding two clubs from dummy. The defenders two club tricks had shrunk to one.

Lookinf at all four hands, the winning defense is easy to find. But. despiu all the reasons that ex|rrts might advance, we would not bet how many would find the club shift at the table.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -Even though fan magazines do it. we dont like to ask performers embarrassing personal questions. But we had to ask Martin Mull this: What is the annual outpid of tin in Bolivia?

"I bdieve its over 600 kUos a year, he revealed.

So began the Hollywood interview with Mull, 33, a comic, writer, Hnposer and paiider. He isnt nationally-known. but is so highly

regarded by NBC that the network put him under contract last Au^ist, just in case.

He was in a dressing room, pondering whetbr to consume strong juices to insure accuracy in his farewell scene in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, where he has played a public rdatkms man who often beats his wife.

The scene had him drunk at home, tumbling backwards into a closet, into a horriUe union with a Christmas tree

that plays Jin^e Bells."

A blonde-haired gent with a small mustache. Mull has a comedy style oftoi likened to that of the late Ernie Kovacs surreal but serene.

A (Riiet man, bom in Chicago, he deals in what youd call mental hotfoots. For example, after Johnny Cashs hit A Boy Named Sue, Mull sat down and composed A Girl Named Johimy Cash.

He once led The Midget Band. All its members were normal-sized. He used to play

broadcast to some 270 CBS radio affiliates Sunday.

The interview with Gov. Carter is really what ended Ms. Waiters brief cares' as a journalist and placed bo* firmly in the ranks of . . . what? The Merv Griffins and the Johnny Carsons. Well, sort of, Safer said.

He took issue with the way sbe ended the Carter interview by saying, be wise with us ... be good to us.

Referring to it as a benediction, Safer dedared, There die was, the first female American pope blessing a new cardinal. He added: What right does any reporter have to issue such a benediction? ... It is as if Mr. Carter had just become Louis XIV and without Pope Barbaras ad-monitioo, he might be dumb with us and mean to us.

Safer also criticized the in-duskxi in the ^lecial of a tour of Miss Walters apartment.

Barbara taking us behind the scenes into her boudoir, so to ^peak, is exactly what a reporter does not do. It is an unwritten nde of the game as much a taboo as rep<Hiers cutting each other 14) ixibiidy. Miss Walters noM that boudoir meant bedroom, and that she did not show her bedroom. She also said that CBSs Walter Oonkite had once shown his house.

I think it succeeded, she said of the program, adding that its intent was to pMtray the Carters in a posonal light.

In terms of ratings, the ^w was a success. It bested CBSs Switch, seen in 10.7 million homes, according to A C. Nid-sen figures, and NBCs Police Story, 13.9 million. The special was viewed in an estimated 15.3 million iKxnes nationally.

Asked about the propriety of Safers comments. Miss Wal-tos said, I have great respect for Moriey.

Such is the checkered past of a guy who studied painting in college, holds a masters degree in painting. He says he initially began performing to buy the necessities of life, beer and cigarettes, in his student days.

He started as a guitarist-singer, not a comic. He says he took the plunge into fulltime performing and then comedy after graduation, wlien be found himself fuddled at the idea of just painting for a living.

I started playing music, backing people iq>, working in country bands, bluegrass bands, rhythm and blues bands, he said. It was during what I refer to as the folk music scare of the Sixties.

That garbage almost caught on, he added, shuddering. I didnt want to sing about the wind and stones and purple mountains of my mind. So Id write my own songs, which I thought were kind of funny.

Said songs are of the put-on school of music. But Mull found that when be sang them, itd be best to first talk about them a bit lest some patrcMis dismiss the tunes as flat weird.

The talks now make up half the act, says Mull, who next month sets off for club and COTicert work and promotion of his latest album, Im Everyone I Ever Loved. Hes also writing the pilot of a series hell lay on NBC.

New Method For Exploration?

Senior Citizen Holiday Calendar

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) -New methods of exploring for gold and uranium codd be opened ig) by a new means scientists say they have for detecting a single atom within a infinite number of other atoms or molecules.

Using lasers, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists say they can detect and identify a single atom within 10 billion billion (10 to the 19th power) other atoms or molecules Previously, scientists have been able to observe single atoms in an electron microscope and detect a single radioactive atom as it decays. But they have not been able to identify or count them The breakthrough makes one-atom chemistry" possible, physicists here say. In addition to detecting uranium or gold, it also could aid in locating underground explosives and monitoring pollution.

Three Oak Ridge scientists. Samuel Hurst, Munir Nayfeh and Jack Young, said they first counted and identified a single atom of cesium on Oct 11 after two years of work.

The scientists said they excited, thi ionized cesium atoms with a lasar beam, producing one electron from each atom, which was then counted by a gas-filled proportional

counter.

They now beiive it is possible to detect more than half the elements appearing on the periodic chart by using two lasers together.

They explained the technique is based on the fact that any element "evaporates a few of its atoms into the atmosphere. Their experiment involved bombarding atoms evaporated from a small quantity of cesium

Using the technique, a plane equipped with the proper instruments could, in principle, detect underground deposits of gold, uranium or any other element. they said.

The movement of radioactive materials such as plutonium also could be monitored with the technique, they said, noting this could help solve the problem of radioactive waste disposal.

Energy Problems Could Hurt Year End Of Textile Industry

CHARLOTTE, N: C. (AP) -Rising energy costs and shorter mppiies of energy couid stem, at ieast partly, the encouraging note North Cantina textile industry ieaders see their businesses ending the year on.

Industry leaders are watching energy costs and ^ipplies cloeely, said Edwin B. Borden Jr., chairman of the board of the North Carolina Textile Manufacturers Association.

Right now, we hope we will be able to meet our energy needs, but the shortage of natural gas could be a key factor in our performance, he said.

Natural gas is vital in certain types of finishing operations in the textile Industry.

We are continually faced with the problem of a rise in the costs of raw materials, especially cotton, Borden said in

GCX30 0L DhNS -TMEM09T EXPEMSWE

TVilMG A I^ID COULD ASk FOR :

his year-end business report released Monday.

We are encouraged by our over-all gains in production, employment and sales this year, and we are hopeful these improvements will continue during 1977, said Borden, who is also president of Borden Manufacturing Co., of Goldsboro, a producer of sales yams.

Despite the overall good news, certain segments of the industry, particularly the sales yam segment, had not fared as well in sales and return as the over-all industry had.

The latest figures from the state Department of Labor show 254,400 North Carolinians are employed in the production of textiles, which is 34.4 per cent of all manufacturing employes in the state, he said.

Labor Department figures show that the average hourly wage had risen to $3.70, up 33 cents per hour over 1975, he said, adding that the average weekly hours by employes were down from 41 in 1975 to 38.6.

Noting that industry profits were double last year, he said, But even with the increase, our average profit after taxes will amount to only about three cents on the sales dollar for

1976.

We have yet to fully recover from the 1975 recession, but we made steady gains throughout this year, and we expect to make further improvements in

1977, he said.

Increased housing starts, rising incomes and a general uplift in our industrial sales, combined with tight control of

all our inventories, have all been key factors in our improvement, he continued.
