Two Troopers Fired For Roadblock Incident

By WILLIAM M. WELCH Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina Transportation Secretary Perry Greene, dismissing two Highway Patrolmen and demoting four others for their part in a roadblock where a Virginia State P(rfice officer was killed, said Wednesday that none of the fatal bullets were fired by troopers.

Greene said he based his conclusion on investigations of the death of Virginia Trooper Garland Fisher, 33, conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation and the Highway Patrol. Greene declined to elaborate because the SBI investigation report is confidaitial.

Greene ordered the immediate dismissal of Troopers R.P. Williams, 28, of Durham, and D.H. Matthews, 26, of Frankllnton, who he said fired weapons at the roadblock on Interstate 85 in Granville (Jounty Nov. 15. Fisher died of multiple gunshot wounds at the roadblock.

Two conunissioned officers, Maj. G.D. Russell, 48, and Lt. W.E. Pickard, 51, both of Raleigh, were ordered demoted two ranks Pickard to sergeant and Russell to lieutenant for failing to assume command after being informed of the roadblock, Greene said.

Two sergeants, Stacey S. Bailey, 39, of Henderson, and Raymond E. Evans, 40, of Oxford, were demoted to master trooper. Greene said Bailey and Evai^ were at the roadUock but did not take proper conunand of the situation."

A HOTLINE APPEAL

PAGER IN A POmSETTIA George Fleming was helping arrange poinsettias around the altar of his church, Jarvis Memorial United Methodist, vdien he discovered something unusual in one of the pots-a pager, the type often used by people on call like doctors, rescue personnel and the like.

Fleming has called Pitt Memorial Hospital and the company which sells this type of pager here, but so far has been unsuccessful in finding the owner. Anyone who may have lost the pager, possibly at the Sunshine Gaitien Center vdiere the flowers were bought, may claim it by calling Fleming and identifying it. His phone number is 756-1755.

him in Dinwiddie County, Va., forcing him to drive his patrol car toward Atlanta.

Fisher was found dead at the wheel of the car after it was sti^ped at the roadblock north of Durham and gunfire was exchanged.

Greene refused to say whether the dismissed troopers were the first or only ones to fire at the car. Williams testified it a preliminary hearing for Conley this month that he fired his shotgun when he thought Fishers commandered car w as going to swerve around the roadblock.

Greene said Williams and Matthews were dismissed for basically the use of firearms. Basically, theyre not supposed to use them except when they are in personal danger themselves.

Greene said that in his opinion, the discipline handed the officers was equal to the dismissal of the troopers "when you consider the severity of the demotions.

In a further disciplinary step, Greene said he ordered that three patrol telecommunicators on duty that night, C.G, Ben-field, 28; C.C. Williams, 42, and R.D. Knight, 29. all of Raleigh, be Issued a written warning for not notifying the proper authorities,

Greene said the actions were ordered after consulting with Maj, Jack Cabe, acting patrol commander, and representatives of the state Attorney Generals office and Gov.-elect Jim Hunt. Cabe could not be reached for comment.

Greenes assertion that none of the officers involved fired the fatal shots was supported by contents of a state medical examiners autc^y released Wednesday.

The report traced the paths of the four bullets that were regarded as lethal through Fishers body and concluded that they came from the floor of the front seat of Fishers car where the troopers abductor was seen crouching.

Hostage Thinks Crash Was Plan

By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer

PLAINS, Ga. (AP) - President-elect Carter wrapped up his cabinet selections today by naming Washingtoh lawyer Joseph Califano Jr. to head the sprawling Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

He appointed former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger to be an assistant to the President and to take charge of coordinating U.S. energy policy.

And he chose Theodore Sorensen, once a top aide to President John F. Kennedy, to become director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Carter introduced Califano, a key adviser to Lyndon Johnson and one of those behind Johnsons Great Society programs, Schlesinger and Sorensen at a nationally broadcast news conference.

The appointment completed Carters 11-member Cabinet, and the President-elect said he may recommend creation of a new Department of Energy, which Schlesinger would head.

Carter said his plans on that point have not yet been drafted. He said while his ideas are still hazy, his inclination would be to put into the new department all energy functions now in the hands of other federal agencies, including the Department of Interior. which would be left with its other responsibilities.

He said Schlesingers initial role on the White House staff will be to coordinate current

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Palm Hirmant, the troubled airline employe who held a jet on a landing strip here for 14 hours, may have been planning to crash the plane, one of his two hostages says.

I dont think he wanted to go any place, said Richard Funk after Hinnant, 37, surrendered Wednesday. I think maybe he just wanted to get the plane up in the air and have us all crash and be kUled.

Hinnant was to be arraigned today on charges of kidnaping, attempted extortion and assault.

Just before he freed the hostages and gave up, Hinnant had said, Its too late for me now. Im just trying to get away from whats bugging me.

He must have gone berserk, said his mother, Mary Brim of Fresno, Calif. She said Hinnants 3-year-old child had been killed in a gas explosion and fire, and she believed that started moital proUems.

Hes been having his problems lately and has been off work because of the problems, his mother added, and 1 guess it Just got to be too much for him.

Hinnant had forced two hostages onto the empty United Airlines DC8 at San Francisco International Airport Tuesday afternoon and demanded a crew to fly it to the East Coast.

Hinnant, an aircraft cleaner for United, had been on medical leave from United on two occasions since April 1975, once for emotional problems. The hijacking attempt apparently was touched off when Funk told him earlier in the day. that his sick leave had expired and that he was off the payroll.

Funk, 38, was cut several times by a hunting knife Hinnant carried, but Funk later said the slashings didnt hurt much.

energy programs and to direct the effort to draft a comprehensive national energy policy.

I consider this to be one of the most important appointments that I shall make, Carter said.

Califano, 45, said his objective will be to help provide HEWs services with compassion and efficiency to all Americans. He described the agency as the peoples department in our government.

I think the noblest work in a civilized society is caring for its people, educating its young, caring for the health of its people, treating the old and poor, with dignity and re^>ect. he said in acc^ting Carters nomination.

Schedule

The Daily Reflector will deliver its Christmas Eve edition Friday mmning.

All departments of the newspaper will be closed all day Friday.

The news department will be open from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. The Sunday morning edition will be delivered at the normal time.

All departments will resume regular schedules Monday, with the business office opeidng at 8:30 a.m.

Carter said Califano should do an outstanding job of correcting the defects that do exist at HEW.

But Califaix) indicated that correcting defects wont involve wholesale changes in HEWs professional staff.

A lot of pecle in that department have devoted their lives... there are first-rate professionals there, he said.

Schlesinger said that in energy conservation we must as a nation face up to a responsibility which we had hoped would go away. He said there must be recognition of the need to control the growth of energy consumption, and particularly to restrain the growth of petroleum imports.

In this, he said, the new administration will have to define the energy challenge for the American people.

Schlesinger is a former director of the Atomic Energy Commission, but Carter disputed a question suggesting that the new energy czar is a proponent of nuclear power as a solution to the nations problems.

His No. 1 priority will be to conserve energy, Carter said. He recognizes as I do that we need to reduce the dependence that presitly exists on overuse of oil and natural gas, shift to increased use of coal... Carter said Schlesinger believes, as he does, that nuclear energy should be used only as a last resort after conservation initiatives have been taken. Sorensen. 48, has observed

the U.S. intelli^nce community in its finest and darkest hours. As one of President John F. Kennedys closest advisers, Sorensen sat in on the meetings of the executive committee of top administratkm officials during the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

Sorensen, who had worked for Kennedy since 1953, left government shortly after the President was killed in Dallas. After writing a book about the Kennedy years, he joined the prestigious New York law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garris<Hi.

He remained a part of the unofficial Komedy brain trust, advising Sen. Robert F. Kennedy during his 1968 presidential campaign. He rushed to the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass., in 1969 to council Sen. Edward M. Kennedy following the auto accident at Chappaquiddick that killed a young woman.

The President-elect talked to the three reporters aboard his small Air Force jet during the return flight to Georgia from Chicago, where he attended funeral services for Mayor Richard Daley, who died Monday.

Shortly after returning home to Plains, Carter was driven to a hospital in nearby Americus to see his mother, Lillian Carter, who had been admitted for what a spokesman called a few days of examination and rest after she complained of not feeling well. Mrs. Carter is 78.

Six Arrested As Agents Seize Cache Of Weapons

By CARL MANNING Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Six men were arrested after federal agents seized a cache of stolen weapons, including 139 MI6 rifles, at a rest area off Interstate 40 near Monterey, Tenn., officials said.

Five persons were arrested Wednesday at the rest area after the weapons were found under a tarpaulin in the back of a pickup truck, authorities said, adding the sixth man was arrested later.

Those arrested were taken before U.S. Magistrate Kent Sandige, who set bond on each man at $250,000. They were to appear before the magistrate today to enter a plea.

The weapons were verified as part of the 164 arms taken April 2 from the U.S. Marine Corps Center in Knoxville, said Riley Oxley, special agent in charge of the Treasury Departments Bureau of AloAol, Tobacco and Firearms office here.

Besides the Ml6s. agents said they recovered two M14 rifles, one 45-caliber pistol and two M60 machine guns.

Those arrested were identified as Kenneth Poole, 35, Pleasant Hill. Tenn.: Howard Wayne Meadows. 24, Sparta, Tenn.; Joseph Amos Lewis, 27, and his brother, Ronald Eli Lewis, 31, both of Sparta, and Robert Ricky Young, 22. Crossville, Tenn.

Additionally. Ricky Neal, 18, Sparta, was arrested later in connection with the matter, Oxley said.

The men were arrested on charges of conspiracy to violate federal firearms laws. Oxley said. More specifically, they were charged with possessing, receiving and transferring automatic weapons, he said.

Officials say a person convicted of one count of possessing an automatic weapon could be fined $10,000 and given a 10-year prison term.

In addition to the weapons recovered at the rest area, Oxley said seven M16s and two M14s were found at Joe Lewis home. Oxley said he was not sure if they had been stolen from the Knoxville armory. Altogether, 153 weapons were recovered. Oxley said.

During the brief hearing. David Watson, an undercover ATF agent, testified he had arranged with one of the men to purchase the weapons. Watson said he gave Joe Lewis $40,000 for the weapons before arresting him.

Watson testified that after saying he wanted to purchase the weapons, he was blindfolded by two men and driven "way out in the country where the arms were hidden.

He said the weapons were dismantled and st(ed in four barrels of diesel fuel buried underground.

In addition to the weapons, ammunition, spare parts and cleaning equipment also were seized, officials say,

Oxley said some of the 30 officers involved in the seizure were at the rest stop waiting for the men to arrive. Other agents arrived after the men did, he said.

"We had the element of surprise on our side, he said

Oxley said three men were in the truck and two were in a car. He said none of the men offered any resistance, although those in the car tried to drive away before being blocked.

Oxley refieed to comment on the possible destination of the weapons, but said there was no indication those arrested were involved in any extremist group.

I can speculate there was a profit angle to it. he said.

He said he saw no connection between this incident and recent similar seizures in California. '

ARMS SEIZED A federal agent steps over part of the weapons seized Wednesday when six posons were arrested by Treasury Department agents. Agents said the weapons had been stolen from a Marine center in Knoxville, Tui. on April 2. (AP Wirephoto)

Botswana Will Appeal To U.N. For Help Along Rhodesian Border

By MATT FRANJOLA Associated Press Writer

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Botswana said today it will appeal to the United Nations for a peacekeeping force to end tension along its border with Rhodesia. At the same time, Botswana rejected a Rhodesian proposal for talks between the neighboring southern African countries.

Botswana, a country without an army, is being drawn into the expanding civil war between Rhodesias ruling white minority and black nationalist guerrillas.

Rhodesian forces launched a campaign last month against guerrillas operating in southwest Rhodesia along the Botswana border. Botswana has complained that some of this military activity involves hot pursuit into its territory.

Botswana, which has a police force of 500 men for a desert country the size of France, has protested that Rhodesian security forces repeatedly cross the 440-mile-long border.

Fh-ime Minister Seretse Khama instructed Botswanas ambassador to the United Nations to call for a force to protect the border against Rhodesian agression, a Johannesburg English-language newspaper, the Citizen reported today.

The United Nations presently has peacekeeping forces in the Middle East and Cyprus.

\ communique from the Botswana Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it could not understand what the Rhodesians wanted to

Woman Guilty Shooting Child

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A Raleigh woman was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday after a jury found her guilty of shooting her 3-year-old daughter in the head.

Club installs New Officers

The Elm Street Siior Citizens Gub installed its new officers at its Christmas Luncheon recoit-

ly-

The new officers are as follows; Mrs. Sarah Ashton president; Dr. Lawrence Brewster, vice president; Mrs. Louise Harrin^on. secretary; and Sam Whitehead, treasurer.

A program of Christmas music was presented by the choral group under the direction of Sam Whitehead and Mrs. Retha Dunn.

Mrs. .Ashton r^rted that 53 members attended the District 1 A Christmas party in Wilson. The club thanked Jarvis Methodist Church for donating the bus for the trip.

The members decided to donate gifts to the Foster Giildrens Fund. The group donated 565 to the fund.

The tables at the luncheon were decorated in the (Thristmas colors by Mrs, Lucille Sum-merell and the staff of the Greenville Recreation Dq^art-ment.

The luncheon committee included the following members: Sarah Ashton, Eula Andrews, Sadie Worthington, Louise Harrington, Louise Tucker, Alma Letchworth, Sam Whitehead, Helen Snyder, Lillian Hendrix, Julia Horle, Ruby Parkenson, Eloise Smith, and Lena McLawhome.

The week-and-a-half long trial was an emotional one. According to testimony, Cathy Matthews Jones, 25, had been sitting alone last February in her trailer after a man v^o had been living with her had left.

The stereo was playing Everything is Beautiful, investigators testified Mrs. Jones told them, and when the chorus bf Jesus Loves the Little Children came on, the mother took a .22 caliber pistol from a bedside table and shot her daughter, Tonya Lynne Jones, three times in the head.

Officers testified Mrs. Jones killed her child to save her from a hard life.

Mrs. Jones sobbed as Wake Dist. Atty. Burley B. Mitchell Jr. asked Judge D. Marsh McLelland to sentence her. He imposed the maximum sentence, which means Mrs. Jones will be eligible for parole in no less than 20 years.

talk about. If they stopped their incursions into Botswana, there would be no problem, L. Mpotokwana, permanent secretary for foreign affairs said.

The Rhodesian government denied on Wednesday that security forces repeatedly cross the border. The Rhodesians said their forces have made every effort to avoid infringing the territorial sovereignty of Botswana.

Last month, raiders alleged to have come from Rhodesia blew up the Francistown office of supporters of Rhodesian nationalist Joshua Nkomo. A 20minute clash between Botswana police and Rhodesian forces was reported in the same area this week.

Reports from Gaborone, the capital, say the government is planning to add 200 men to the police force and to station mobile patrols along the border. It is also reported considering asking the Soviet Union for arms.

The people on both sides of the border are members of the Kalanga tribe. Those on the Botswana side used to shop, visit relatives and send their children to school in Bulawayo, the largest town in southwest Rhodesia. The visits have been curtailed by the Rhodesian military operations.

The Botswana Kalanga give shelter to Rhodesian Kalangas who cross the border as refugees or guerrillas. The refugees say they left their homes because of the encroachments of war. A nightly curfew is in force and violators can be shot.

Although Rhodesia and South Africa are Botswanas normal outlets to the coast, there is no possibility that President Sir Seretse Khama will try to check the guerrillas. A moderate who has led the country since before it got independence from Britain in 1966, he is also one of the five front-line black African presidents supporting and advising the black Rhodesian nationalists. He has joined the other four in publicly endorsing the armed struggle against white rule.

Welfare Roll Cut Saves 2.5 Million

RALEIGH (AP) - Some $2.5 million has been saved by county social service departments removing ineligible recipients from the welfare rolls, the North Carolina Division of Social Services said.

The. error rate in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program has been cut from 48 per cent in January 1974 to 27 per cent last June, the division said.

The rate of ineligibility in the program was trimmed from almost 8 per cent to just below 4 per cent in the same period, state officials said. As to overpayment errors, the error rate was chopped from 21 per cent to about 15 per cent and underpayments to recipients dn^ped from 19 per cent to only about 9 per coit. the agency said.

Nationally, the ineligibility rate in the same period was cut

from 10 per cent to 5.5 per cent and overpayments fell from 23 per cent to 14 per cent. North Carolinas underpayments to recipients was more than twice the national rate of 8 per cent in January 1974 and is still higher than the national rate, the division said.

Increased efforts by county social service departments and changes in state policies that govern the AFDC program are the main factors in the reduction in errors, said George Fleming of the division.

Fleming oversees a staff of 30 persons who travel the state and review samples of AFDC cases in the counties.

County workers determine eligibility and amount of mwithly payment a family will receive based on state standards and guidelines.

Whichard is retiring with over 36 years service after having joined the commission as a truck driver with the Water Department. He was promoted to his present position in June of 1961.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agents staking out the drop for an espionage payoff were watching as a former employe of the Central Intelligence Agency arrived to pick up a package he thought contained money, the FBI says.

Instead of finding the payoff, Edwin G. Moore was surrounded Wednesday by the federal agents. He was arrested at the drop near his home in suburban Bethesda, Md., accused by the government of trying to sell classified documents to the Soviet Union.

A CIA spokesman said that as far as he knew Moore is the first CIA employe, former or current, ever arrested on espionage charges.

Moore, 56, retired in the summer of 1973 from a CIA job that the FBI said had something to do with logistics. He was charged under espionage laws with unauthorized posession of material relating to the nation

al defense and theft of government pix^rty.

His arrest climaxed a scenario that began the ni^t before when Soviet diplomatic employes discovered a package that they thought mi^t be a bomb on the grounds of a Soviet establishment in Northwest Washington, FBI Director Clarence Kelley said in an announcement of the arrest.

The agency said the Soviet facility was not its embassy, but would not otherwise identify the establishment.

The package, a manila envelope about a half-inch thick, was turned over to the FBI by the Russians. When opened, it was found to contain copies of classified U.S. government papers and an anonymous note with an offer to sell classified information to Soviet agents.

The papers in the package were described as samples of what could be expected to id-

low, the FBI said. The envelope also contained detailed instructions <m how to make a clandestine payment of $200,000, the

agency said.

The FBI was waiting when Moore arrived at the scene of the payoff, the agency said.

Regulation Revised

The federal government has recently revised regulations governing training <^>pOTtunities and employment services made available to armed forces veterans.

As a consequence, public employmjt offices will ensure that veterans receive every possible assistance in finding jobs or obtaining job training programs.

The Vietnam era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act requires the Secretary of Labor to afford veterans maximum portunities in seeking jobs or training through Department of Labor programs, according to Jim Hannan, manager of the Employment Security Commission in Greenville.

'The Greenville Job Service has a full time Veterans Employment Representative, Ken Taylor, in addition to a regular Job Service ^ff to provide veterans service.

The revised regulations Implement this requirement Uirough a referral preference for veterans by the state Job Service. Through this referral preference, local offices of the Employment Security Commission provide services such as registration, interviewing, counseling, testing, selection and referral to training and Job opportunities available to all veterans on a priority basis to any job avaUable to the spouse of a veteran if the veteran is totally disabled, was kUled, missing in action, or prisoners of war.

The regulations ensure that veterans receive first priority on all available employment pro^ grams, according to Hannan.

Beginning The First Of The Year, Mrs, Jatie Spain Works On Gifts

starting in January, Mrs. Jatie Spain of Greenville starts making Christmas ornaments and decorations.

I begin looking for ideas the first of the year because I like to always have something to do. I made my list of ornaments that I wanted to make cross stitch in January and felt trees in February and so on through the year.

I guess the idea grew out of my love for sewing and I have been doing this for about 10 years, said Mrs. Spain.

I give the ornaments to my closest friends as Christmas gifts. They know year-after-year that I will give them ornaments and they look forward to seeing what I have made. Over the years, my ornaments have accumulated and now their Christmas trees are completely decorated with the handmade ornaments.

Its not the fact that I have made them, its the fact that over the years it has been such a joy seeing my friends using the ornaments , she replied.

Jfrs. Spains house reflects her creativity. 1 enjoyed making my Christmas angels, bird tree and the 12 days of Christmas, but my tree is my main joy. As I sit looking at it I reminisce about a particular ornament, the time spent, who I made an identical ornament for, will they like it and why I chose that idea for a certain person, she added.

Mrs. Spains ornaments include those made of salt dough, cross stitch, crocheted and knitted ones and those in yam. Her favorites are the ones in felt and sequins. She has made over 100 this year.

So far, I have not found my idea for 1977, but I will find something. I dont like idle

Let Your Boss Handle His Wife

By Abigail Van Buren

9 l*7S by ChiufO TrtbuiN. Y. Nws SyM Inc

DEAR ABBY: I am the secretary, receptionist and telephone operator in a one-girl offce. I love my job and my boss is the greatest. The problem is his wife. She is very friendly toward me, but you would think I am working for HER.

She asks me to write all of her thank-you notes, address her Christmas cards and run her errands.

Yesterday she sent some pantyhose to the offce with her husband for me to return to the store for credit. (No sales slip. Just try it some time.) She also sends things to the office for me to gift-wrap and mail out of town for her. All this takes time.

Now she has a new one. Every Friday afternoon she brings her pre-school son to the offce for me to entertain while SHE goes to the beauty parlor.

How can I put a stop to this without starting a cold war? She considers me a friend.

HAD IT

DEAR HAD FT: Tell your boas that you enjoy doing what you were hired to do, but you havent the time to run his wifes errands. And let HDi handle it. (It might cool your friendship, but it neednt start a cold war.)

DEAR ABBY: Ive always been a soft touch for a bum asking for a handout, but many people say that giving a bum spare change does him more harm than good.

What do you and your readers think?

SOFT'TOUCH

DEAR SOFT: Whats a bum? Is he a victim of circumstances or a self-made failure? Since its not possible to know. Id rather err on the side of generosity and give a small temporary assist to a man whos obviously down on his luck.

DEAR ABBY: I have known this guy for two years, but we didnt get really serious about each other until seven months ago. Im 18 and hes 19. He kept trying to get me to go to bed with him, and I kept saying no. Finally I gave in.

1.really was in love with him, Abby. Im no tramp. I thought it would bring us closer together. Maybe even get him to figure out some way we could get married.

Well, I was wrong. After that evening I didnt hear one word from him. Finally I ran into him by accident three weeks later, and his attitude toward me was completely different. He acted like a stranger.

I feel so cheated and cheap. If I had known then what I know now, 1 never would have given in. But now its too late, and there's nothing I can do about it.

1 wasted something very precious on someone who wasnt worth it and didnt appreciate it.

Please keep telling girls that the way to keep a guy is by NOT giving in to him. I wish I hadnt.

I used to hear chimes.

I heard them the year one of my sons gave me a tattered piece of construction paper on which he had crayoned two hands folded in prayer and a moving message, "OH COME HOLY SPIT!

I heard them the year I got a shoebox that contained two baseball cards and the gum was still with them.

Daley Ran An Efficient City

THE COMPACTER!

The death of Chicagos Mayor Richard Daly left citizens of that city stunned and saddened.

The mayors passing also removed one of the most powerful figures in the national Democratic party from the scene.

Daly was recognized as the nations most powerful mayor and he was called the last of the big city bosses.

But some of the top figures in Democratic politics owed some of their success to Dalys supports That support undoubtedly swung Illinois to John Kennedy in 1960 and was a factor in Kennedys election to the presidency.

Perhaps recalling that, Sen. Edward Kennedy said on learning of Dalys death he was "one of Americas greatest mayor

Mayor Daly often came under attack, particularly from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, which never forgot his handling of protestors marching on the Democratic National Convention in 1968.

Whatever his faults, though, Daly managed to run his city far more efficiently than many other large cities of the nation. Unlike New York it is not near broke, and unlike many other cities, services are provided on schedule.

Whatever it was he did to make government in Chicago work, perhaps other cities should try. If Mayor Richard Daly could leave us with a legacy of efficient municipal government, then perhaps we could forget his faults.

English, Not Dialects

ByBnXNOBLITT

RALEIGH Standard English is our language, and educators who cail it oniy another dialect while defending the rights of minority groups to ciing to their own diaiects are performing a disservice.

That, in a nutsheil, is how at least one teacher of English at East Caroiina Univereity feeis about some trends in modem education. And she took advantage of the podium at a recent legislative seminar to attack what she considers a significant failing in pubiic education.

Dialects OK?

There has been a spreading tendency toward a permissive attitude regarding language even to the point of rewriting examinations and books to allow for the non-standard dialects found in different parts of the nation. North Caroiina has seen that especiaily in deaiing with the language of blacks in the pubiic schoois. Some educators even go so . far as to suggest minorities keep their ianguage whiie treating standard Engiish as a second ianguage.

Such a course, believes

THE INSIDE REPORT

E(CU English Profes3r Janice Faulkner, will lead to even more severe repression for those who fail to leam proper language skills.

I am out of sympathy with the pervasive influence of the political activists of the last decade who take the positions that the standard English (which) schools have required their pupils to leam is a prestige dialect and that English is not a specific language to be spoken and written a certain way.

While 1 understand the rationale used ... to justify adopting a policy embodying a permissive philosophy; I seriously question the soundness of that rationale.. . Mrs. Faulkner, reports in a document delivered to legislators gathered for a presession background briefing on major issues coming up in the 1977 General Assembly.

The trend toward students rights to their own language is more accuratly a political direction than sound education, and adoption by the National Educators Association was done on the assertion of some that insistence on standard English

as a requirement constitutes an act of repression by the white middle class, Mrs. Faulkner reported.

Flawed Logic That logic, she said, is seriously flawed: standard English is the language of law, politics, commerce, industry, technology, literature and cultural arts. To deny English speaking citizens access to a mastery of standard English by failure to educate them in its use is itself a much worse form of repression than insisting that they leam it. . . when he fails to leam standard English, he consigns himself to the outer darkness of ignorance that breeds failure in other endeavors.

The truth is that there have to be some fixed rules, however tedious, if the codes of human communication are to remain decipherable.

Mrs. Faulkner warned that there is ample evidence in the population that the schools are failing to teach students enough reading and writing to enable them to function effectively ... and concludes that, If we wish to subject any segment of our population to real, honest-to-

goodness repression, then let us deny them the (^portunity to leam their language.

And this permissiveness in language applies to other areas of education as well, Mrs. Faulkner told the legislators.

Society has developed a wide tolerance of every element in the present pluralistic society. As it presently prevails, that tolerance is not an admirable thing.

It is not the compassionate tolerance of human fraility which generates benevolent brotherhood. It is instead the absence of any standard of judgment about anything ... and that permissive indulgence of whatever is has permeated our public education.

Mrs. Faulkner went on to list specific ills and suggested remedies in an overview of education in the state, calling attention to need for objective and uniform evaluation of teachers; the trend toward teacher unionization; need for options to formal education through career or compensatory training, etc.

Opposition To Bell

By LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON Associated Press Writer

PLAINS, Ga. (AP) -The first serious controversy of President-elect Carters transition to the White House is erupting over the civil rights record of Griffin Bell, the former federal judge Carter wants as his attorney general.

Carter has twice publicly defended Bells record as superlative. He says his confidence in him is absolute.

But he has failed to still increasing criticism over Bells judicial opinions in desegregation cases and his membership in private clubs that have no black or Jewish members.

Bell, an Atlanta lawyer, longtime Carter ally and law partner to chief Carter adviser Charles Kirbo, has

called a news conference for Thursday to face what he himself has called hard questions.

The' criticism of the appointment centers on the depth of Bells support for civil rights, on his views on busing as a tool for public school integration and on his 1970 support for Richard Nixons nomination of G. Harrold Carswell to the Sig)reme Court.

Bells support for Carswell came in a letter written five days after public disclosure that Carswell had once made a speech advocating racial segregation.

Bell said Monday that he didnt know about the Car-swell speeqh when he voiced his support of Carswell for the Siq>reme Court. But the New York Daily News today quoted Bell as saying he had

erred in denying that he knew of the Carswell letter.

I was mistaken about that, Bell told the News. I had to know about that.-

Bells membership in three all-white private clubs in Georgia drew hostile remarks Tuesday from a number of black leaders, including Rep. Parren Mitchell, D-Md., chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Mitchell pledged an all-out fight to block Bells nomination, especially if he does not repudiate his club memberships and his formerly unequivical support of Carswell.

Bell is expected to face an intense grilling on his record at his confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. But committee aides say he is not now expected to lose in any battle over his nomination.

Bell was quoted by the New York Times today as saying that because an attorney general is committed to provide equal justice under law he would have to do something about his club memberships.

But at the same time. Bell was quoted as saying he hopes to work out an inactive

membership status to avoid losing some $10,000 in initiation fees.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a nationally known civil rights leader based in Chicago, called Bell a foe of civil rights. The NAACP called him the evil genius of anti-civil rights forces in the South.

Ralph Abernathy, prsident of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, predicted an uprising of protest against Bells nomination.

Strength For Today

ABOVE THE CLOUDS

If Christian faith cannot save the world, nothing can save it. That is what Christian faith is designed to do, and can do.

Let us not be pessimists as we face the future. The Lord is not going to fold iq> his plans and admit himself defeated. Those who travei by air frequently have the experience of leaving a dark and overshadowing low altitude and going up through the clouds into the brilliant sunshine. The sun is always shining above the clouds. If humanity can only rise

spiritually, it can eventually break through the clouds of care, sorrow, disease, and sin, and come out into the sunshine of Gods love.

We have not come to the end of things in this world; we are only at the beginning. When that which is perfect is come, then that which is flawed shall be done away. Beneath the shadow of many troubles, mankind is learning how to put his trust in God. This is a process sometimes so slow as to be imperceptible, but it is certainly taking place.

A Story To Remember

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (AP) Some Christmas stories are to remember. This is one.

It comes from the Future Homemakers of America at Midwest City High School. For four years it has warmed them, inspired them. It has, for them, buried the cold din of commercialism beneath the spirit the season seeks.

It happened because of a letter from a 9-year-old girl named Debbie. She addressed it to Santa Claus and to that other, often-forgotten figure for whom the holiday was named.

So unselfish was Debbies letter, so elemental in its faith and hope and love, that it pri^lled- a schoolgirls project into a community endeavor.

In Midwest City, no big newspaper or well-heeled civic group organizes yuletide almsgiving. But a ^oup of 62 young ladies operate out of a high school classroom filled each afternoon with clothes, canned goods and laughter.

And it doesnt end when the tree comes down. The girls follow up their families through the year.

It sounds trite, said their moderator, Marilyn Butler, a bubbly blonde woman with more energy than all her charges combined, but I believe the girls see the truth of what Christmas is sup

posed to mean, not just a one-shot deal to make you feel good.

Theyve learned how to help their fellow man without damaging his sense of dignity. We know the families we help. By name.

The Future Homemakers, with the agreement of the Post Office, four years ago took on the job of answering the mail addressed to Santa Claus.

It was fun still is; they havent given up the project, and still thrill at opening letters addressed like this: To Santa Qaus. North Pole or South Pole. I cant remember which.

Or opening a letter from 8:year-old Melissa, who sent Santa a picture and wanted him to do the same, figuring the ones she sees all look alike and couldnt be the reelSanta.

Or from Barbara Stevenson, who wanted to get better acquainted: Wake meat midnight.

Among the letters, each year, are voices like Debbies, small cries for help A blanket ...a tree with lights ...a job for my mother.

These are the ones the Future Homemakers search out.

The first year they found 16 families. The second, 20. The third, 35. Thats about all their resources can manage, 35. They raise money themselves, buy necessities.

see to the families welfare throughout the year.

They ask other groups to help civic clubs, social clubs and if anybody is too busy to listen, they can show them Debbies letter, the letter that started it all.

Here it is. Clip it out. Pin it to the Christmas tree.

Dear Jesus and Santa Claus.

My name is Debbie and I am 9 years old and I have a little sister Tina she is 3 years old and a new baby brother James he is 3 months old. Jesus tell my little brother hi for me the one you took with you last year. Tell him we still love him and will see him soon and you too Jesus.

Tell Santa Claus we need food and clothes and bedclothes to keep us warm this winter and our baby brother needs some milk and food and bed clothes too.

Santa if you have any toys left after all the other kids can we have some. Do you think your sled is big enough to bring us a Christmas tree so it will be a real Christmas for us.

Jesus tell my little brother merry Christmas for us. Merry Christmas to you too. And Santa, thank you,

Debbie.

P.S. And thank you for taking time to listen to me. With all my love. And please Jesus let my uncle get out of prison he is only 19 years old. I will pray tonight and every night that you will answer my letter.

Other Editors Say

Fast Start

Every two years, it seems, the North Carolina legislature starts off at a snails pace and has to work like crazy over the final few weeks of a session in an attempt to finish on time which occasionally it fails to do.

Incoming lieutenant governor, Jimmy Green, his appointive powers restored by committee action they had been suspended by the 1975 Senate, pending the rules committee study has promised that there wilt be no such early lull in 1977.

We hq>e Mr. Green is correct. The legislature has had enough on the agenda these past few sessions to encourage some to talk in terms of annual legislative sessions. With 77 expected to be as busy, it wold make no sense for the legislature to dawdle away its first few weeks before getting down to serious action.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - A smiling Santa Gaus waves his mechanical aims at shippers.

Standing before a holiday-decorated window, a Brltiw soldier wearing a bulletproof vest over his camouflage fatigues cradles a loaded rifle in his arms.

A woman soldier frisks a smartly dressed young lady.

This is NiMthem Irelands capital at Christmastime.

A ring of steel, like the bars on a prison compound, encompasses more than a square mile of Belfasts main shqiplng district, restricting automobiles. Shoppers carry their parcels in their arms. Should they set them down, they might be confiscated as suspected bombs.

Lined up by the hundreds at each of several steel gates, grim-faced last-minute shoppers wait to be searched by Irish police and British soldiers before entering the business area.

Today Ive been stopped and searched at least six times, says an old woman accompanied by her grand-daughter.

Once inside the steel cordon, shoppers walk through electronic devices before they gain entrance to most of the department stores, novelty and doth-ing shops, and restaurants.

Attack dogs, restrained by soldiers, patrol the streets as Santa Claus comes by in his horscKlrawn sieigh, shouting Happy Christmas. Trailing ciose behind is an army jeep with four rifles pointing in all directions.

Leadership Is The Catalyst

ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - For about 11 years now, the peaks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average have drawn a ragged but rather steady line, generally in the mid to iqiper 900s.

Thats where the summit was late in 1965. Thats where it was in 1967, in 1969, in 1971. 'Riats where it is today; the early Tuesday reading was around 970, less than 25 points higher than in January.

The big exception, the Everest that towers above ail during this period, was the 1052 points in 1972, before the end in Vietnam, before the oil-prlce spurt, before the confidence-destroying Watergate revelations.

And now you can hear investors beginning to talk it up again.

Vietnam is out of the way, they say, and so is Watergate. We mav be getting inflation

under reasonable control. Interest rates are almost back down to where they^ belong, not up at 12 per cent' where they compete with stocks.

Down on the street tliey seem to have things under better control. A lot of the swindlers are gone and so are the operators of those dumpy shops that stacked their customers securities in shoe boxes and then lost the boxes.

Theres a new public too. Millions of the uninitiated, tl^ unscarred, the naive have grown to maturity and seem anxious to test their investing skills. They are curious, tempted, probably eager and even greedy.

Unlike their fathers and uncles and older brothers and sisters, they have no memories of the chaos, the hucksterism, the false promises, the assault and

battery of individuals by the inout trading of institutions.

Instead, they see opportunity: Stocks of major corporations that have attracted little interest for years; vital companies with low price-eamings ratios; potential growth stocks of the future.

They may be warned, but the warnings issue from the bad experiences of their elders, not from their own. They have never had a bad trip; they never have had the experience, and someone elses wont substitute.

And then there is the new president, arriving on a scene of economic stagnation and promising to get things moving again, by fiscal stimuli, by new programs, by convincing Americans that better times are possible and likely.

The leadership factor cannot be underestimated, or

at least you can be led to tht belief by the comments you hear in the business community. "rhe best stimulus he can provide is to restore confidence, is typical.

For whatever reasons it is difficult to say, but the truth is that no sector of the economy really wanted to march out ahead and invite the others to follow during the past few years.

But now there could be a chan^ thats what a lot of people seem to be saying. ITiey seem to believe that a new collective perspective could be developing, one that looks ahead, wants change and might be able to produce it.

Everything is an ingredient in a new outlook, but perhaps nothing is more catalytlcal than leadership that convinces people we really are headed for better times.

Its a big Job for Mr. Carter.

Brown Calls For Arms LImitaflon Agreement

By FRED S. HOFFMAN AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Dr. Haroid Brown, named President-elect Carter's defense secretary, has called for a U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms limitation agreement that would curb Improvements in weaptms as well as their numbers.

This is not the case under the current strategic arms limita

tion talks, or SALT, agreement, so both countries have been pushing ahead with development of more effective strategic missiles and bombers since that agreement was signed in 1972.

Without such limits, the race for more will turn Into a race for better, Brown has said. Moreover, a qualitative race can be even more unstable

than a quantative race.

Brown has not yet spoken In detail of his plans as defense secretasy, but some of his views are apparent from comments made before his nomination by Carter.

Brown, a technical member of the U.S. SALT negotiating team during the Nbcon and Ford administrations, expressed his strategic arms

CIA Knew Committee Witness Pianned To Lie

ByDAVmC.BIARTIN AsKKlatedPren Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - The CIA knew that an executive of International Telephone & Telegraph Co. would give false testimony about his relationship with the spy agency when he was called before a Senate subcommittee investigating U.S. actions in Chile.

The ITT executive, Harold V. Hendrix, is cooperating with a federal grand Jury that is pitting a possible conspiracy involving CIA and ITT officials. The Jury is investigating allegations of fraud and perjury arising from the officials testimony about U.S. activities in Chile, it was learned.

Targets of the grand Jury investigation are known to be former CIA Director Richard Helms and ITT chairman Harold (ieneen.

Hendrix already has pleaded to a misdemeanor charge and received a suspended sentence for wiiholdlng information about his covert relatl(H)ship with the CIA from the Senate subcommittee on multinational corporations.

A Justice Department lawyer told a federal court in Miami last Month that Hendrix, former director of public relations for ITT in Latin America, informed the CIA in 1972 of his intention to withhold from the committee the fact that he had been in contact with the CIA

The attorney, Walter W. May, added that Hendrix did indeed withhold the fact when

Asked why the CIA did not inform the subcommittee that Hendrix had in fact lied, Houston said the panel had been given documents that proved the inaccuracy of Hendrixs statements.

However, Jerome Levinson, chief counsel for the subcommittee, insisted that the CIA had not given any indication, either on or off the record, of its relationship with Hendrix.

May made his remarks Nov. 30 in the U.S. District Court for Southern Florida where Hoidrix pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of withholding information from Congress. The transcript of the proceedings makes clear that Hendrix was allowed to plead guUty to the misdemeanor charge and received a suspended sentence in return for his cooperation in the Justice Departments probe of possible perjury committed by CIA and ITT officials before the Senate panel.

Group To Reenact Delaware Crossing

By CHRIS ROBERTS Associated Press Writer

WASHIIWTON CROSSING. Pa. (AP) Americas Bicentennial is running out. Its last hurrah may come Christmas Day when a band of long-john-ed compatriots re-enact George Washingtons crossing of the Delaware 200 years ago Some 1.5.000 persons are expected to watch George Washington will be played by St. John Terrell, a onetime theater producer from I^mbertsville, N.J For the first time, there will be two crossinp in the four replica Durham boats to accomodate the overflow of history buffs in this Bicentennial year.

If the wind is right, the 1,000 loyal souls who will re-enact the crossing here will shiver a bit. But theyll leave no bloody footprints in the snow.

Those and other horrors of this countrys first war unfolded in 1776 at the camp beneath Bowmans Hill, during a time when lice were a soldiers solace, for if he felt them move he knew he was still alive.

Here is how it was on that blustery night of Dec. 25, 1776: George Washingtons troops stare at the ice chunks bobbing in the Delaware River, Watchword for the attempted crossing is Victory or Death, a chancy battle cry for a man dogged by defeat. The battles of Long Island, Fort Washington, Fort Lee are still fresh thoughts, 5,000 Americans lost in the past three months.

The pudgy general, who as a major in the French and Indian War once attempted to cross another ice-choked river, the Allegheny, and fell in, prays.

Pneumonia and dysentery are rampant. Desertions increase, sunshine patriots shucking ideals for a roof. Vermin scurry over the quivering bodies of the remaining 2,388 men, some little more than boys defying, a king.

In England it is believed the war is over. The rest of Europe gives America little chance of victory.

It seems preposterous that this pitiful band of revolutionists can mount any sort of offensive against the mighty Redcoats and Hessian mercenaries

who chased them across New Jersey.

Washington, banking on the unexpectedness of his strategy, completes plans to attack Trenton.

Washington instructs his officers to display white pieces of paper in their tricorns to distinguish them in the darkness. Wild-eyed horses, spooked by the wind, are coaxed onto barges along with 18 field pieces. The soldiers board Durham boats, used to ferry ore from Easton to Bristol.

The snow turns to sleet.

Fishermen from Marblehead, Mass., man the 18-foot oars, heaving and hefting the 50-foot black Durham hulls across the 1,000 feet of ice-clogged water.

In Trenton, Col. Johann Rail is asleep, numbed by Christmas cheer. Crumpled in his jacket pocket is a note from a Pennsylvania farmer telling ot Washingtons advancing army.

The colMiel, intent on his luck at cards when the note was delivered, will read it after his surrender.

Jobless Rate Down

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -Unemployment was down and wages were up slightly in North Carolina last month, the Employment Security Commission reported Wednesday.

There were 144,600 North Clarolinians out of work in November, about 10,000 fewer than a year ago or a decline from 6.4 to 6 per cent.

The jobless rate was 6 per cent in September, rose to 6.1 per cent in October and then dropped back to its September level.

Jobs were added in retail' trade, up 2,300 workers, and in textiles and government, ig> 1,-000 and 4,200 employes respectively.

All were regarded as seasonal increases. They were nearly offset, however, by seasonal losses of 28,700 agricultural workers and 1,000 construction employes.

The ordinary seasonal downturns were aggravated by bad weather in those categories.

Manufacturing workers earned an average of three cents per hour more than in October, iq) to 83.94.

A Wild Goat Chase

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) A fugitive with wild green eyes and a dirty gray beard led police and a small posse of civilians on a chase. One witness was reminded of the Keystone Kops.

(George Hollander said he was driving to work Tuesday when he noticed a goat in his path. I looked ahead and there it was, standing in the road, Hollander said. I couldnt believe it.

Hollander pulled over to the sidewalk. I chased it about three blocks, he said. All kinds of peq)le joined in.

Someone would get within a few feet. The goat would leap away.

Police officers Steve Trentle and Don Dedian came on the scene.

It resisted arrest, Trentle said. It ran and we pursued. We chased it throu^ the streets, through gas stations.

Finally, it crawled under a parked van. The posse surrounded it. It tried one last time to get away.

MONROE, La. (AP) - Workers at the General Motors plant here decided to go union because they were tired of being treated like second-class employes, said the man who led the organizing drive.

'The economy in northeast Louisiana is primarily agricultural, and strong anti-union sentiments were believed to prevail.

The workers voted 323-280 Wednesday to make the United Auto Workers their bargaining agent. The plant was non-union prior to the election. 'The results of the balloting must still be approved by the National Labor Relations Board.

Job security and wages had a lot to do with the way it "came out, said Carlton Horner, who headed the union drive. But there was strong resentment by the workers to being treated as second-class employes of General Motors.

Not oftly were they working for less money than employes in northern plants, they were producing more and not getting half as much relief time.

Workers at the headlight manufacturing plant here averaged $5 an hourpretty good by local standards, but about $2 an hour less than employes in similar GM jobs in other parts of the country.

It was the first victory for United Auto Workers in its last three attempts to organize a southern plant. Similar drives failed in Clinton, Miss., and Fitzgerald, Ga., earlier this year.

After the failures, the UAW complained that GM management had exerted unfair pressure on hourly employes in the successful effort to block the union. GM denied the allegations and vowed to remain neutral in the election here.

They violated the agreement every day, said Homer. We calll the violations to the attention of General Motors executives in Detroitnot on a daily basis, but almost hourly.

Corporation executives ad

mitted to us and to the press that they were unable to control their supervisors. 1 hope they have greater control in the future.

Plant Manager Frank J. Rada said General Motors will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement covering the 641 employes here.

Over the years. General Motors has developed constructive and harmonious relationships based upon trust, integrity and mutual respect with the unions which represent its employes. We will continue to deal with the UAW on that basfs, he said.

Horner also hoped.for harmonious relations with the plant. We dont consider ourselves adversaries, he said. Weve been working 40 years with GM.

Prior to the election, those opposed to unionization of the plant said they feared a pro-UAW vote would encourage other unions to move into southern factories.

We certainly hope so, said Homer. We have the opportunity to show that the rural southern worker, with no industrial experience, can enjoy the

same wages as his courterpart in other parts of the country.

'Enterprise' Will Be Defending America's Cup For U.S. In 1977

By BART lNCH

United Press International

The Enterprise, a $1.5 million gamble to win the honor of defending the America's Cup in 1977, was symbolically launched Dec. 4 at the Minneford Boatyard, City Island, N.Y.

The commission ceremony in a huge shed included the traditional shattering of a bottle of champagne on the bow of the sleek aluminum 12 meter yacht but no sliding down the ways.

Christened the Enterprise by Mrs. George F. Jewett, Jr., of San Francisco, it now is enroute overland to San Diego where it will be outfitted and tested at sea prior to the summer defense trials off Newport, R.I., where the defender of the cup will be selected. The band stmck up California Here I Come when

Mrs. Jewett christened the 67-foot, all-white craft.

Project Enterprise is a West Coast oriented effort with strong ties to the East Coast. The skipper will be Lowell i North, president of North Sails, San Diego, an Olympic gold medalist and holder of four Star class championships along with many other racing trophies.

Most of the crew is from the West Coast and many are veterans of previous Americas Cup defenses. Six crewmem-bers are from California, one from East Seattle, Wash., and the remaining four are from the East Coast.

The Enterprise is owned by the Maritime College at Fort Schuyler Foundation, a tax exempt fund raising and support organization for the

activities of the Maritime College of the State University of New York.

It was designed by Olin J. Stephens, cmisidered by many to be the greatest designer of racing yachts in the world today. H^ has designed five of the last six cub defenders.

The cig) was first won by the United States in 18S1 when the yacht America defeated a fleet of British vessels. Since that time there have beoi 22 unsuccessful attempts to wrest the cup from its current residence at the New York Yacht Gub.

In September, 1977, no less than four foreign countries are expected to be vying for the privilege of racing the U.S. yacht designated to defend the cup in a best of seven series of match races off Newport.

But whether the* Enterprise will be the defender remains to be determined.

Ted Hood, the well-known sailmaker and yacht designer from Marblehead, Mass., already is conducting trial runs for his newest creation, the 12 meter Independence. And standing in the wings is Ted Turner, owner of the Atlanta Braves and one of the toughest cqmpetltors in racing today.

Turner plans to take the winner of the 1974 Americas Gq) races, the Courageous, revamp the deck layout and drive like hell to knock both North and Hood out of contention for the honor of defending the ciq>.

Hood and North are sailmak-ers of great repute. Both men are racing champions. (Hood was the skipper who successfully defended the cup in 1974.)

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.Thunday, Decemher SS, Iff*'Loser' Making Money At Los Vegas Casinos

By ALVIN B. WEBB

NEW YORK (UPI) - Ian Andersen is a gambler. Anyime who writes a book at the risk of losing a job that pays $1,000 an hour has to be.

Not to mition the "freebies that go with it air transportation, accommodations at top hotels, gourmet meals and wines in the Chateau Lafite RothschUd (19S0) class.

All courtesy of the folks 4io are convinced he is a loser.

Ian Andersen for obvious reasons, not his real name makes his living playing Mackjack, and those free-spending fdks are the Las Vegas casinos who are making his career pay off in the six-figure range each year.

They dont even know it, he says. I act like a loser. And thats a casinos favorite sort of

person.

They really feel sorry lor me, says Andersen. They want me to win and they go out of their way to help.

That, in fact, is what his book, Turning the Tables on Las Vegas, (Vanguard Press, $10) is about how he makes that kind of money and how you, properly trained and properly self-disciplined, can do the same.

There are the inevitable news and television interviews, and the photographs, and with each Andersai runs a risk that of being unmasked, of having the casinos find out their pigeon is actually a cat grown fat at their expense.

If the casinos figure out who I am, he said betwem bites of a roast beef sandwich, the book will have amounted to a grievous errw.

GrievMis error, indeed. It would mean, he says, Ms banishment pohaps for life from every casino in Las Vegas. From gMdm egg to cooked goose.

Andersen says he wins about $1,000 an hour for the average of 30 hours a nHXith he puts in at the tables. He speaks vaguely of six figures when asked how much a year he pulls In, but it doesnt take much arithmetic to figure that at $200,000, p1iaps better.

Dqioiding, of course, how many weeks or noontte he takes <rff to fly to Paris to buy Pierre Cardin suits and the like.

Arent the casinos going to be more than a Ut curious when be shows iq> (m tdeviMon prwnoting a book that can beat their system, and proclaiming himself a wealthy examine of how it can be done?

What you see isnt really me, he says, leaning sli^tly ova* the table.

What the Interviewer sees is a sloKier, 40ish-loMdng man (hes actually 38), dark hair subtly graying at the temples, moustache, eyebrows perhaps a bit heavy, eyes shaded by octagonal-framed glasses that are thick and tinted.

A closer look, and the pancake makeiq) is evidoit, as is the woric of an eyebrow pencU. Pertu^ the gray of the hair, too, came from a bottle.

Andersen was bom in New York city and grew up in MinnesMa, but he can and does use a soft Southern drawl that rings tnie.

An effective disguise -excqit fw the hands. He looks almost self-consciously at the pianistlike fingers.

I guess Ill just have to hide them <m television, he laughs.

He flatly refuses to disclose his real name the one he can and must play under in Las

increased his investment eight-fdd. Then the pit boss appeared: Cash in your chips and leave. Oh, and one more thing dont come back.

Day after day, casino after casino, it was the same theme a bit of play, then a request to leave. Whether Andersen was winning or losing made no difference. The key was the fact he was counting.

I had been in Las Vegas only 10 days and 1 was already running out of places to play, says Andersen.

Tired and dq>ressed, he left Las Vegas and did not return for six years. It was apparent that he needed a total strategy system of play a method of emplo^g the counting technique but without getting caught at it.

What tips off the casino? Andersen studied counters and found the typical one acts guilty, tends to sneak in and out of casinos, uses a deliberate betting pattern, looks the part of a card hustler. Even his tendoicy to stack chips in perfect piles can be a giveaway.

The answer ? Do the opposite, and behave in a nonchalant, natural manner to avoid suspicion.

He makes friends with casino personnel. He varies his betting patterns. He limits his play to no more than a couple of hours at a time.

But most of all, says Andersen, I want to act like a loser like a high roller. Thats the type of player who is capable of losing tens of thousands of dollars and,

naturally, the sort the casino bends over backwards to please.

Andersen keeps his winnings discreetly hidden (pocketing chips is one way), and makes a production of it when he loses.

One pit boss, watching

Andersens apparent losing ways, felt so sorry for him he

gave the player a gift a c(^y of Thorps Beat The Dealer, in a plain brown wrapper.

Because the casinos want him back, Andersens sbc-figure income is augmented by fringe benefits. As a desirable customer, he says, he racks up more than $30,(XX) worth of free hotel accommodations per

year.

He eats at the best restaurants, dines on the finest wines, has his air fares covered, resides in palatial suites done in mirrors, gold carpets and red drapes.

After being pampered by such ' lavish accommodations, they allow me to win

thousands, he says.

Andersen figures its been a good life but that he probably will retire in a year or two, perhaps to write a book expanding his principle of a total strategy to other walks of life.

Itll work in any business where you are dealing with the public, your own mind and motivation, thinking, etc., he says.

But what of the average player who adopts Andersens (or any other) system, bankrolls himself with the family savings and heads for Nevadas gambling oasis?

Andersen shakes Ms head, a bit sadly. Ironically, he feels, his book probably is going to boost casino profits.

A number of people who read the book will become me and not having spent the time studying the whole concept they

are going to lose, and blackjack revenues are going to go up. Artfully directed and well

disciplined, he says, a polished newcomer has unlimited potential.

But why write a book anyway? Why run the risk, with all it entaUs?

Money, he says simply.

Andersen made his first tr^ to Las Vegas 10 years ago. It was a disaster. What he learned quickly was that its one thing to beat the system. Being allowed to do so is something else again.

Blackjack, or twenty-one, pits player against dealo*. The name of the game is to get closest to a total count of 21 (aces count one or 11, face cards 10, other cards at face value) without exceeding it, or busting.

There are several boMcs on the subject winning systems at blackjack, most of them involving a players keeping a goieral count of the number of aces and face cards left in the deck. Anda*sai says a surplus of nines, 10s and aces in the deck favors the player. A surplus of small-value cards favors the house.

Armed with that knowledge, a copy of Dr. Edward Thorps Beat The Dealer and stake money, Andmen headed for the Las Vegas caMnos.

What he learned quickly was that counters - players who use a counting system to keep tabs <m the condition of the deck are di^tly less popular than bidxmic friague at

the tables.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Durham Police CTiief Jon P. Kind-ice said he hopes to reach a conclusion today about whether the shooting death of a retired newspaper editor is the work of a homicidal maniac and related to a series of four other sniper attacks in recent days.

It was the fourth mysterious shooting in the city since last Friday, when Herbert Medlin, 26, was killed as he walked along a Durham street with his girl friend.

Other attacks wounded a gas station attendant and another pedestrian. There were also reports of additional shootings in Bradshaws neighborhood Wednesday night, but no one was reported hit.

I think the impact on the community is largely determined by the connection (of the shootings), Kindice said, Whether were dealing with

Isolated cases and different persons or dealing with the same person, a homicidal maniac.

Kindice assemble 15 of the departments 40 detectives Wednesday ni^t to go over all the available evidence in the Bradshaw shooting and the others.

He said there were one or two leads, but any link among the'shootings had to await a State Bureau of Investigation ballistics examination of the bullets that had been found. The chief would not say how many thr were.

Massachusetts Official Criticizes Coast Guard

It was reported, meanwhile, that the Argo Merchant was banned from entering the Port of Philadelphia in September 1975 because its storage tanks and hull needed repairs. The Coast Guard was quoted as saying it did not know if the repairs were ever made.

President Ford, on a holiday in Vail, Colo., said throu^ aides that he was awaiting a damage report to see if he can declare the Nantucket coast a disaster area.

In a letter to Amerships Agency, Inc., the ships owners representatives in New York, Goodwin said the entire hull structure and storage tanks needed repairs.

Coast Guard divers were to attempt to examine the tanks of the split-up tanker today to see whether any of its 7.6 million gallons of thick oil remained unspilled.

Estimates of the damage were $160 million to the states fishing industry and $75 million to tourism.

Pete's No Hero To Williamson

By The Associated Press

John WiUiamson used to worship Pete Maravich from afar. But up close, he's not so crazy about him.

Williamsons metime hero beciame a villian for a while Wednesday night when the two almost came to blows in their National Basketball Association game.

Williamsons New York Nets went on to hand Maravichs New Orleans Jazz a 127-93 beating. Afterwards, Maravich and Williamson were considerably cooled off.

The game got sloppy and we were getting frustrated, and we Just went at each other, said Maravich. It was just one of those things. It didnt mean anything.

That boy has no history of hitting anybody, noted Williamson, who admits that before he became a pro, Maravich was one of his idols.

But for a while there, it looked as if there would be blood spilled after Williamson had given Maravich a hard slap as be charged in for a basket. The Mow sent Maravich to the floor, where he lay quietly for several moments.

At this point, Williamson shouted: Good act, Pete.

When Maravich finally got up, he reiqxxKled to Williamson: Wait till you come down to our place, John. Youre trying to mess people up.

In other NBA games, the Houston Rockets defeated the Washington Bullets 111-90 and the Detroit Pistons stopped the AUanta Hawks 107-94.

Williamson wound up as one of the big guns in the Nets cause, scoring 21 points. A1 Skinner was the team leader with 22. Maravich led New Orleans with 22 points, seven under his league-leading average.

Rockets 111, Bullets 90 Calvin Murphy and John Lucas scored 18 points to lead Houston over Washington. Moses Malone had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Rockets, who won their 13th home game in 16.

Pistons 107, Hawks 94 Bob Lanier scored 20 points and five other Detroit players hit double figures as the Pistons defeated undermanned Atlanta. The Hawks, playing without Geoff Petrie, Steve Hawes and John Drew, their leading scorer, lost their fourth game In the last five.

Two members of the East Candna University soccer team have been named to the All-Conference team announced today.

Tom Long, a back for the Pirates, was listed on the first team, while Pete Angus, a forward, was selected to the second team.

A1 Albert of WUliam & Mary was picked as the Coach of the Year, while Kip Germain, also of William & Mary, was the Player of the Year.

First team selections included Mike Shepherd, Appalachian State, goalie; Ronnie Groce, Appalachian; Greg Kirshe, The Citadel; Long, and Eduardo Lopez and BUI Watson, both of WUliam & Mary, backs; and Freddie Allner, VMI; Donn Korts, The CiUdel; Germain and Graham Sykes, WUliam & Mary; and Krank Kemo, Appalachian State, forwards.

Alabama faces unranked South Carolina tonight for the tournament championship. Georgetown wUl play Harvard in the CMisolation game. Harvard lost to South Cardina 71-63 Wednesday night.

South Carolina wUl give us some problems, said Newton, whose team took the Gamecocks to the cleaners by a score of 96^ in Tuscaloosa on Dec. 1.

They arent the same team we played earlier, Newton said. Coach (Frank) McGuire has done another exceUent job with this young team. They are playing Nate Davis as a forward now aixl he was a guard against us.

They are getting the baU to Jim Graziano more and he played much, much better tonight than he did against us, he added. And they are playing far better pressure defense.

McGuire said he thinks the Gamecocks wUl play better tonight than they did Wednesday night. Early in the garfee we had trouble ^ting the ball in to (Jhn) Graziano, he said.

Our weakness is at the second guard. We have to find somebody to play there, he said.

Guard Kent Looney sank two pressure-packed free throws with 10 seconds left in the game to give Alabama the victory. Alabama is now 7-0, whUe Georgetown slipped to 6-1.

South, Carolina is 3-3, and Harvard is S-4.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Oregon State University out scored North Carolina State 2d 4 in a 10-minute span Wednes day night and went on to a 71 61 nonconference basketball victory.

It took the Beavers nearly 1C minutes to solve a North Carolina zone offense. But then senior guard George Tucker took charge, along with Don and Rocky Smith.

We got out daubers down, said North Carolina coach

Norm Sloan. We stood around a lot. I was very disappointed.

Olympic squad member Kenny Carr hit a jump shot with 10:23 left in the half to make it 19-14 North Carolina State. Oregon State then ran off five unanswered baskets to take the lead at 24-19, and the Wolfpack called time out.

Following the time out, Brian Walker hit another jump shot for North Carolina State to narrow the disadvantage to 24-21,

Maryland Has^ An Easy Night

By The Associated Press North Carolina State coach Norm Sloan was warned two years ago, but he took his Wolf-pack to Portland anyway. And look what happened.

The Pack suffered its second road loss in three days, a 71-61 decision at the hands of the Beavers.

Oregon State warned us after their game against us two years ago at the Greensboro Coliseum that they would be waiting for us when we came out here, Sloan recalled.

They felt like they were em-barassed in that game, and expressed a hope to even things ig) when we came to their place.

Wolfpack turnovers and an inability to penetrate the Bea vers zone defense helped give Oregon State its revenge.

Kenny Carr led the Pack with 19 points.

But it wasnt all bad Wednesday for the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Maryland had an easy night against Bucknell in College Park, romping to its seventh consecutive triumph, 106-72.

but Oregon State had five more baskets before the half ended while the Wolfpack hit only one, and the Beavers had a 34-23 lead at intermission.

Don Smith led Oregon State, now 5-1. with 20 points, while Rocky Smith chipped in 16 and Tucker added 14. Carr led North Carolina State with 19 points, W'aiker had 11 and Charles Whitney and Glenn Sudhop had 10 each.

Orejgon State coach Ralph Miller said that Tucker played his best game by far.

And Miller said, We probably did as good a job as I can remember screening big men off the boards.

Our defense was betterat least we tried harder, and any time you win its a better performance than losing.

Unable to penetrate Oregon States zone defense. North Carolina State threw the ball away numerous times, winding up with 28 turnovers for the game. Oregon State had 15.

Were very young. Sloan said afterward. But we arent willing to throw in the towel and chalk off the season to experience.

I saw some good things toni^t; I was very pleased with my team in the second half.

Networks Trying To Figure Out Satra

By HOWARD SMITH AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - What is the Satra Corp., and why is it doing these horrible things to the networks?

The answers to these and related questions will begin to merge over the next few days, but indications are that the U.S. television rights to the 1980 Olympics in Mcecow are a long way from being settled.

A week ago, representatives of the three major networks CBS, ABC and NBC journeyed to Moscow, they thought, to determine which one would get the rights. Instead, none of the three got them because a fourth bidder, Satra Corp., entered the picture. The Moscow Olympic Committee has since signed some sort of agreement with Satra, and no one knows quite what to make of it.

The networks, meanwhile, are in the process of applying fw Justice Department approval, under antitrust laws, to pool their coverage.

Lets just say these negotiations have certainly not been an everyday happenstance, said CBS President Bob Wus-sler. Anything can happen and probably will before its all over.

Details of the Soviet-Satra agreement are known only to the parties involved, and theyre not talking. Network sources view the whole thing as just another hurdle in negotiations. They insist it is virtually impossible for Satra, or anyone else, to pay what the Soviets are asking and come anywhere

Vikings Do Well

DURHAM - D. H. Conleys wrestlers advanced nine men into the semifinals of the Bull Durham Wrestling Tournament yesterday, while another moved into the semis in the consolation bracket.

Conley ranked third in the team standings after the first of the two days of competition, and was within easy striking distance of the leader.

Orange County led the tournament with 244 points, while Cary was right on their heels with 24. Conley completed the first round with 22 points.

TTie lone Viking to be defeated during the first round of competition was Willie Moore at the 126 pound level.

Two Vikes got byes into the semifinals, Gary Harris at 98-pounds, and Lo Carmon in the heavyweight division.

Winning by decisions were Alton Crandall at 112, Larry Powell atl38, and Charles Hanson at 155.

Taking victories with pins were Floyd Crandall at 119, Ronald Harris at 132, Marvin Hardy at 145, and Jesse Davis at 167.

near making a profit on the Games. That includes MGM Television and the Hu^es Sports Network, both rumored to be lurking in the background of the Satra deal.

So why is Satra, a trading corporation with a long history of dealings with Russia, trying to land the Games?

Maybe they are just taking the negotiations off the hands of the Russians and plan to market the Games to the networks themselves. Or maybe they have no intention of getting the rights and are just helping Moscow increase the ante. Or maybe they have a grand design for some unpre-cented ind^ndent network of their own.

Stay tuned,

While the storm brews over the Moscow Olympics, TV fans wMl be able to look back at Innsbruck and Montreal on ABCs Wide World of Sports Christmas Day. The 90-minute program offers highlights of the 1976 Games and a series of interviews with some of the athletes.

Jim McKay, anchorman for the past three Olympics, hosts the show. McKay has become a celebrity and won several awards through his Olympic exposure, but he was originaliy reluctant to be the anchorman.

McKay, naturally, would prefer that ABC televise the Moscow Games, but would not mind a three-network pool. A pool would be interesting, he said. The competition among the networks would be like it is for the political conventions or an election.

boxing has returned to TV in a big way. There were more than 30 boxing shows on the networks in 1976 and one of them, the Muhammad Ali-Richard Dunn bout in prime time on NBC, was second only to the Super Bowl in Nielsen Ratings among sports shows for 1976.

That fact was not lost on promoter Don King who has joined with ABC in a series he calls the U.S. Boxing Championships starting Jan. 16. The tournament will begin with five quarter-final bouts to be televised from an aircraft carrier off the coast of Pensacola, Fla.

Lady Pirates Are Defeated

CHAPEL HILL - Western Carolina University knocked East Carolina out of the running in the UNC Christmas Classic yesterday. The Lady Catamounts took a 79-75 victory over the ECU women.

The game took place in the consolation bracket of the tournament. East Carolina had lost, 88-80, in the first round to Appalachian State. Western Carolina moved into the consolation championship, while East Carolina returned home, stUl seeking its first win.

No details were available on the game.

Alabama Gets Close Victory

By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer

John Thompson is building a better basketball team at Georgetown.

But Wednesday night, it was not quite good enough.

Reaching for national recognition, the Hoyas came close to upsetting Alabama. The difference between the teams was freshman Kent Looneys two free throws in the last 10 seconds.

I dont consider this a moral victory, said Thompson alter a 66-64 loss to the nations fifth-ranked team in the Carolina assic at Columbia, S.C. Moral victories are for people who are never going to be good.

Right now, Alabama Coach C.M. Newton would have to think that Georgetown already has arrived.

Georgetown has great size and super-quickness, Newton said, and they are a very well coached basketball team. Our December schedule is designed to get us ready in our conference (Southeastern) and Georgetown did a cwiple of things that should help us later.

For one thing, we dont play a game where we see more defenses. Georgetown showed us just about every defense you can face and played them all well.

The victory earned the Crimson Tide a berth in tonights final of the Carolina Gassic against South Carolina, which

beat Harvard 71-63 in the other first-round game.

Elsewhere in college basketball; third-ranked San Francisco trimmed Cal Poly-Pomona 9fr68; No. 8 UCLA walloped San Jose State 89-74; No. 12 Nevada-Las Vegas defeated Oklahoma 100-89 in the championship game of the Rebd Roundup Tournament at Las Vegas; No. 13 Louisville whipped Chattanooga 81-71; No. 14 Arizona beat Purdue 85-76, and No. 15 Maryland blasted Buck-nell 106-72.

The crucial shots by Looney, his only points of the game, helped Alabama improve its record to 7-0. In the first game, Jim Graziano scored 26 points, 18 in the second half, parking South Carolinas victory.

James Hardy scored a game-hi^ 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, leading San Franciscos victory over Cal Poly-Pomona. Marques Johnson, coming back after missing two games with a sprained knee, scored 25 points, leading UCLA past San Jose State.

Larry Williams scored 17 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, pacing Louisville over Chattanooga.

A 34-point performance by Eddie Owens parked Nevada-Las Vegas past Oklahoma. Herman Harris and Bob Elliott scored 22 points apiece as Arizona beat Purdue. Steve Sheppard fired in 22 points, leading Maryland past Bucknell.

Curci Wants No Snowfall

By BOB COOPER AP Sports Writer

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -Millions of Americans pray each year for a white Christmas. Kentucky football Coach Fran Curci wonders if youd mind waiting til next year. Please?

You see, Curci and his Wildcats have a Dec. 31 date in the Peach Bowl at Atlanta against North Carolina and hes allowed himself only three days of final tuneups before the team leaves town.

Snow on the practice field wouldnt get anything like a ho-ho out of Curci.

Its the same problem that any coach has when going to a bowl. You cant keep the team honed to a fine edge for a month and, a half after the last regular game, Curci said.

Our approach has been not to even try. We know that when they go home for Christmas they arent going to be thinking about plays and stuff like that, he added.

Curcis plan is to take the team back into training Sunday, hold twice-a-day practices Monday and Tuesday and head for Atlanta on Wednesday.

The only thing that can hurt us is bad weather, he said. And thats a possibility.

Curcis topmost thought is finding a way to stop North Carolinas Mike Voight, already the fifth leading rusher in college football history and owner of a large slice of the North Carolina record book.

No one has stopped him yet. I dont know how we think were going to do it, but were going to try, Curci said.

Voight, a senior tailback from Chesapeake, Va., rang up 1,407 yards during the past regular season for a career total of 3,971, exceeded in the past only by Tony Dorsett, Archie Griffin, Ed Marinaro and Joe Washington.

Were going to key on him, but thats what they want you to do, Curci said. They want you to worry so much about st(^ping him that everything else opens up for them.

Curci has a super runner of his own in quarterback Derrick Ramsey, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound junior who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds, which is moving along.

Ramsey accounted for 771 yards rushing and a 4.1-yard average during the past season when he also pas^ for 659 yards. In all, he was in on 17 touchdowns.

Going with him from the modified wishbone attack are speedsters Greg Woods, Chris Hill'and Rod Stewart, the latter the short yardage man of the Kentucky offense.

North Carolinas regular season record was 9-2; Kentuckys 7-4, but the Wildcats schedule included six teams that were ranked in the nations top 20 at the time Kentucky played them.

LSU Rally Tops Bears

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -A three-point play by Kenny Higgs brou0it the Louisiana State Tigers from behind to a 69-67 college basketball victory over the California Bears Wednesday night.

Cal had leads of as much as 15 points in the first half which ended with the Bears ahead 45-39. But LSU got back into contention with a 56-55 advantage with 10 minutes left to play.

Cal, 1-5, kq)t in the running with free throws, getting 17 of 20 to the Tigers nine of 13. Ray Murry made 14 of 14 free throws and finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Freshman Doug True had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Cal.

Greg Cook, a 6-foot-8 freshman, led LSU, 6-1, with 16 points; Higgs had 15 and nine assists, and Durand Macklin contributed 12.

Classic Matchups In Viking~Ram Meeting

By BRENT KALLESTAD AP Sports Writer

BL(X)MINGTON, Minn. (AP) Players wont be ducking out of the trench warfare Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams meet for the National Football Conference championship.

Several spectacular individual matchups will highlight what promises to be an exhausting physical battle as the teams vie for a spot in Super Bowl XI.

A bump or bruise wont keep many people out of a game like this, says Los Angeles Coach Chuck Knox.

The Rams are at full strength, while middle linebacker Jeff Siemon is Minnesotas only doubtful performer. Siemon has a pulled muscle in the calf of his left leg and has been unable to run this week.

The most notable matchup in the line will feature the Rams All-Pro defensive end Jack Youngblood against Minnesotas All-Pro offensive tackle Ron Yary. Los Angeles defensive tackle Merlin Olsens battle againnst Vikings strongman Ed White will be equally brutal, but the key could be the battle between Rams defensive end Fred Dryer and Minnesotas Steve Riley, who was brilliant in the Vikings playoff victory over Washington last weekend.

When the Rams have the ball, veteran Tom Mack has the job of containing Alan

Team Is Year's Best

TORONTO (AP) - The team that represented Canada in the Canada Cup international hockey series was named ^e nations Team of the Year today in a poll of sports writers and broadcasters.

Team Canada, the first national team to draw players from both the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association and including such stars as Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull, was a clear-cut winner over the Montreal Canadiens, cham^jons of the NHL, in the poll conducted by Canadian Press.

Team Canada won the Canada Cup series, edging Czechoslovakia 54 in overtime in the final game.

Page, and Los Angeles John Williams will go against Carl Eller in a matchup of former University of Minnesota stars.

Knox and Minnesota Coach Bud Grant both feel their teams are playing their best football of the season.

Weve played good football at times during the season, said Knox in a telephone interview. Weve been inconsistent.

Pass Catch Started Rivalry

By GARY MIH(X:ES Associated Press Writer

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Exactly four years ago, a pro football rivalry was bom.

The newborn was greeted with a slap by Jack Tatum of the Oakland Raiders and cradled in the arms of Franco Harris. Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney passed out cigars.

The Dec. 23 arrival came with five seconds left in an American Football Conference playoff game at Pittsburgh.

Tatum hit John Fuqua as he tried to catch a fourth-down, desperation pass. The ball bounced back toward the line of scrimmage, Harris caught it inches off the ground and carried it for the touchdown that beat Oakland 13-7.

That 60-yard play has been called The Immaculate Reception.

By any name, it was the birth of a rivalry to be renewed Sunday when the Raiders and Steelers meet for the AFC title at Oakland.

Greased jerseys, obscene footballs, a spying priest, and a purposely frozen field have been just some of the strange elements that have fed the rivalry in recent years.

'The tone got more serious this season when the Steelers accused some Raiders of chieap shots with intent to maim, and one Raiders player followed with a slander suit against Pittsburgh Coach Chuck Noll

Differences between the two teams go back to that day in 1972 when Tatum insisted he never touched the ball, that it bounced off Fuqua and therefore was not legally catchable by Harris.

In 1973, th,e Steelers went to

Lady Jaguar Start Is Not What Coach Wants

By TOM FOREMAN JR.

Reflector Sports Writm*

At 4-1, most coaches would be happy to call it a season. But the Farmville Central girls have not lived up to coach Hilda Worthingtons expectatims.

In those four wins, the total margin of victory has been 22 points, two of those wins coming by nine points each. In their latest victory over Eastern Wayne, the Lady Jaguars got off to a race horse start against the Warrior girls. The second half was opposite, as Farmville Central slowed down, and were outscored by nine. Had the first half^margin not been so great, 4-1 could have been 3-2.

We had a slow start, Coach Worthington said. Its going to take a while to come around. I think theyre lacking inner discipline.

By inner discipline. Coach Worthington explained that her team will have to become more selective in its shots instead of taking the lower percentage attempts. What it boils down to, she said, is doing the fundamental things.

There is no starting five set by Worthington. Instead, she uses seven players interchangeably, four of whom are seniors. The unit includes guard Jennifer Counterman < forwards Cindy Williams and Julia Moye, and

Finley May Get Suit Break

but a lot of that was from having three quarterbacks start for us during the year.

Rookie Pat Haden took over for Los Angeles the final month of the season and the Rams have not lost since.

We should be stronger as each day goes by, said Knox. Were putting a lot of hours in because its going to be a tough football game for us.

Oakland and returned with a 17-9 regular-season victory and complaints of dirty tricks.

Center Ray Mansfield insisted some of the footballs he was given from the sidelines were short of air. He said others had obscenities printed in ink on the laces.

In addition, the Steelers accused Raiders offensive linemen of greasing their jerseys.

Later that season, it was Oakland pointing the finger.

It seems that during the Raiders last regular-season contest, some Steelers assistant coaches used press passes to attend the game.

When Raiders officials found out, they summoned police to bar the Steelers coaches from the press box.

A week later, the Raiders barred the Steelers from the AFC title game, beating them 33-14.

When the Steelers returned to Oakland for the 1974 AFC title game, it was Noll who was wary of spying.

He purposely had the Steelers run some plays from an unbalanced line in practice, even though no such strategy was planned for the game, which they won 32-14.

Last season, the Steelers beat the Raiders 16-10 in Pittsburgh for the AFC title, and that game spawned more accusations.

While practicing here. Raiders officials saw a priest on the field.

The priest, a friend of Rooneys, was asked to leave, and he obliged.

After the game, the Raiders suggested that Pittsburgh might have purposely allowed the field to freeze to thwart Oaklands passing game.

By BILL DENSMORE Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO (AP) - Charley Finley may have gotten his first legal break when the judge in his $3.5-million suit against baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn asked a question about player salaries.

Finley was scheduled to take the stand again today.

The Oakland As owner said he got angry at Kuhn on June 18 for interfering with his business decisions after the commissioner voided his $1.5 million sale of pitcher Vida Biue to the New York Yankee.

So he filed the suit the following week.

Kuhn stopped another bid to sell unsigned outfielder Joe Rudi and relief pitcher Rollie Fingers for $1 million each to the Boston Red Sox, money that Finley said he needed to pay player salaries and bargain with in other deals.

Finley, testifying Wednesday in U.S. District Court, said he had a personal dispute with Kuhn on at least two occasions before the attemped June 15 sales. He added that he and Kuhn spoke for several hours at a Chicago hotel beginning less than two hours after he an-nounced the sales.

The words were very heated for the first 10 minutes, Finley testified, saying he then tried to get Kuhn to understand why he made the deals. But Finley testified that Kuhn said he had to go back to New York and give this sale deep consideration.

Three days later, he voided the deals over the opposition of both major league presidents.

Judge Frank McGarr raised the money question when Finleys lawyers tried to introduce a deposition about an historic $1 million sale by former Cincinnati Reds President Bill DeWitt.

Is there any suggestion that the reasonableness of the price is relevant or has anything to do with this case? McGarr asked Neil Papiano, Finleys lawyer.

Papiano said Kuhns decision voiding the trades had touched on the question of price and asked to continue. But McGarr blocked his question, saying of Kuhn: If thats his reason (for blocking the sales), it wasnt a good one. Im sure he has more.

The statement was considered important by Finleys attorneys, they said later, because it could mean they do not have to continue trying to prove the $3.5 million price total for the three players was abnormally high an opinion held by many baseball observ

ers and perhaps by Kuhn.

The crucial issues for both sides to show the judge, if price no longer is one of them, are just what power the commissioner has under the Major League Agreement, and whether Finley broke any major league rules before or during the sales.

Both questions have come up in testimony, but it will be up to McGarr to answer them when he rules next month or in February after hearing Kuhns side of the story in January.

center Eileen Phillips, all seniors; Michigan transfer Terry Lloyd, center Diane Barrett, and Sheila Newton.

Moye, praised as a good rebounder by Worthington, has averaged 19 points a game with a high of 28 in their (^ning win over Saratoga Central. Phillips is also considered a good rebounder, and has scored at an eight-point-per-game clip.

Counterman has played in four of the five games thus far, also maintaining an eight-point average. Williams scoring has not come around yet, but most of the season is ahead of her.

Barrett has accounted for some of the Jaguars success so far with a 10 point average, and is expected by Worthington to improve her rebounding. She placed third in sectional competition in the high jump last spring.

From the bench come sophomore Kathy Hart, Gail Flanagan, and freshman Diana Gordon.

Worthington said her team was adequate in terms of hei^^t, but not outstanding. This could prove to hinder them in the race with Southern Nash and Ayctei-Grifton for the conference title. If the prop(ed format for playoffs is initiated, things could be a lot easier for the Lady Jaguars. Nevertheless, Coach Worthington expresses cautious optimism.

A lot of our problems are due to inexperience, and not playing together. This will straighten out indue time.

At 4-1, things are apparently in working order.

Satra Certainly Confuses Issue

By HOWARD SMITH AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Can a relatively unknown inter national b'ading company out-maneuver the three major networks for the U.S. television ri^ts to the 1980 Moscow Olympics?

Probably not, but it can certainly confuse the issue. Thats what has happened with the emergence of the Satra Corp. as a fourth bidder for the U.S. riits to the Games. Satra joined CBS, ABC and NBC in the chase for the rights with

the announcement, first by company officials and then by the Moscow Olympic Committee, that Satra and the Russians had signed a protocol a preliminary agreement to continue negotiations.

Satra declined to ^lecify terms of the agreement but, it was learned, all three networks have also signed protocols with the Soviet State (Committee for Radio and Television over the past year or so. It was not im-mediatly known how, if at all, Satras agreement differed from the ones the networks

The New York offices of Sal-ra, besieged by newsmen intent on clearing up some of the mystery surrounding the company and its role in the Olympic talks, offered a brief statement by Chairman of the Board Ara Oztemel Wednesday that did little to dear up the confusion.

The statement said Satra representatives in Moscow have signed a protocol calling for long-term cooperation with the U.S.S.R. Olympic Organizing Committee. There was no fur-

Final Rifes To Be Held For Blenda Gay

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - Funeral services for Blenda Gay, the slain Philadelphia Eagles defensive end, will be held tonight at Kaighan Baptist Ciiurch.

Under an agreement reached Wednesday in Superior Court, the services will be non-denom-inational.

Lawyers for the players parents had claimed Gays wife, Roxanne, who has been charged with the murder, wanted him buried as a Catholic. The family went to court seeking a Baptist service.

Gays parents also wanted him buried in North Carolina, where he grew up and began his football career at Fayetteville State College, but Judge

WINNING 25 SEASONS

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Arthur (Bud) Metheny, a New York Yankee outfielder in the mid 40s, has had 25 winning seasons as the baseball coach at Old Dominion University. Methenys career record shows 381 victories, 251 setbacks and six ties.

Peter Devine ruled that his wife had priority.

Roxanne Gay claimed Gay had a strong affinity for the Philadelphia area. However, the site of the burial was not announced.

Gay was stabbed to death in his Blackwood. N.J., apartment Monday with what police described as an eight-inch kitchen knife.

ther clarification, but a company spokesman promised

more details later.

Meanwhile, the networks went ahead with their plan to ask for Justice Department approval, necessary under antitrust laws, of pool coverage for the Games. And they were skeptical that Satra had the facilities or background to handle an Olympics.

Satra said it was dealing with Moscow on behalf of two unnamed American companies with experience in entertainment. There were reports that MGM Television and the Hughes Television Network were both involved.

In Los Angeles, Harris Katle-man, president of MGM tele

visin, said; Any announce-mbnt will have to come^ from Satra. Thats the only position I can take at this time.

In New York, Arthur Morten-sen, president of the Hughes network, refused to comment.

The Moscow Olympic Committee ccmfirmed that it had signed a protocol with Satra, but a spokesman stressed that the rights have not been sold to anyone. Hie committee added that it would continue to talk with network representatives.

Estimates of the cost of U.S. TV rights to the Olympics run as high as $100 million, four times as much as ABC paid for the Summer Games from Mon-. treal.

Coaches' Plan: Stick To Basics

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Homer Rice and Jack Christiansen know the best strategy in all-star football games like Fridays Blue-Gray contest at Oamton Bowl is to stick to basics.

With some of the nations top players participating, the 39th annual Blue-Gray clash promises to be one of the best matchups in the series.

Christiansen, who will direct the Yankees attack for the fifth consecutive year, is counting heavily on Missouri quarterback Steve Pisarklewia.

Pisarklewicz, a top pro prospect, became Missouris all-time passing leader this ear by completing 236 of 509 attempts for 3,413 yards and 25 touchdowns.

One of his targets Friday will be speedster John Kimbrough of St. Cloud State.

Kimbrough is real quick and

catches the ball well, said Christiansen. He has real good hands.

(Quarterbacking for the Gray will be Rice Universitys Tommy Kramer, a super passer, and Auburns Phil Gargis, an excellent running quarterback, said Coach Rice.

1 imagine well put the ball in the air a pretty good bit when Kramer is in the game, said Rice. Kramer, under Rices tutelage, led the nation in passing this year with 269 completions in 501 attempts for 3,317 yards and 21 touchdowns.

When Gargis takes over the signal-calling, said Rice, well run the ball a lot to take advantage of his type of game.

Gargis moved into secmid place on Auburns list of all-time career offensive leaders when he accounted for 3,919 yards this year 1,882 of them on the ground.

Dick Vermeil said Gay and his wife had a history of marital problems. He had been with the National Football League team for two years.

Med Students Study Nutrition

NEW YORK (AP) - Nutrition. the science of what happens to the human body as a result of diet, is being introduced to New York Medical Colleges curriculum this year.

Nutrition has always been passed over lightly in medical schools, says program director Dr. Jack M. Cooperman. Although students are well-tutored in the fundamental^ of basic nutrients, most of them graduate without acquiring practical knowledge of how nutrition relates to good health and to disease processes.

Although Americans are some of the best-fed people in the world, nutritional deficiencies abound and cut across all socioeconomic levels, he adds.

The New York Medical College program, funded by a U.S. Dept, of Health, Education and Welfare grant, will cover un-demutrition, malnutrition, obesity, and the relationship of diet to physical and mental development and to disorders and diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Relive Middle Ages

By MAURA HENNESSY For AP Newifeatures

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - Dust off your coat of arms, call up your favorite wench and break open a bottle of mead.

The lO-year-old Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is reviving those dark ages of the past the Middle Ages.

But the revival doesnt embrace ail aspects of the Middle Ages, said member Jeffrey A.

DeLuca of Willimantic, Conn.

There is no religious persecution, no famine and we try not to spread the plague.

Chivalry with indoor plumbing is how one member of the University of Connecticut branch described the current Middle Ages.

The SCA, begun in 1966 in California, now has about 3,000 members in 35 chapters.

'The annual Pentathlon of Arts has five categories of competition and guilds for wizards, cooks, exotic dancers and archers, DeLuca said. The next Pentathlon will be held early in 1977, probably in Philadelphia.

The SCA values chivalry and expects all members to behave like gentlewomen and gentlemen, he said. Royalty and revolting barbarians alike are called gentles, he added.

Medieval clothes are required at SCA events, said 21-year-old Susan R. Tallmadge of Hartford, Conn. But she said gentles dont refer to them as costumes because they arent just pretending to be medieval people they really are medieval people.

John L. Leland, a knight who is also a Ph.D. candidate in medieval studies at Yale, said each gentle picks a pre-1650 identity, with a name, skill and ai^n^riate clothing.

'The identities may not be lifted directly from history or fiction. But a fan of Ivan the Terrible could choose to be called Ivan the Temperamental.

Of course, not many gentles choose to be serfs. You have more fun as a Lord, said Leland, or Count Sir Jehan de la Marche.

The SCA is not Invulnerable to modem movements such as womens liberation. To keep its tax-exempt status, the SCA must allow women to joust with male contenders for the throne.

Could a woman become king?

Unequivocally maybe, Leland said.

'The SCA holds jousting tournaments so far without horses and craft fairs and revels, or medieval merrymaking.

After most events, gentles gather for feasts, which include fermented milk, fermented honey (mead), and trenchers: flat, rounds of bread used to eat other foods from before they are eaten.

'The SCA also has wars between its various kingdoms.

The East Kingdom fights an annual war with the Middle Kingdom over the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands, or Pittsburgh, DeLuca said.

The loser gets Pittsburgh.

Copper Kettle Maker

By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer

BUCYRUS, Ohio (AP) -There was a chill in the air and the darkness came quickly this day.

Robert Picking bundled his 125-pound frame into an overcoat and covered his thinning white hair with a tweed hat as he left his office.

So many people growl about things, like the weather, he said. Any day is better than no day. Isnt it nice to get up in the morning and think, This is my day? As you get older, youll think more that way.

For 97 years, every day has been Robert Pickings day.

He still runs what is believed to be the last true copper kettle manufacturing shop in America, a symbol of the past, a man alone surviving the mass production of stainless steel and aluminum kettles, preserving a centuries-old craft-manship.

He has been on the job 76 years, entering the family business started by his grandfather after graduating from high school in this western Ohio town in 1899.

I see too many fellows around town who dont last long after they quit working, he says.

He lives and works for posterity. He never had a son. There is one married daughter, Mrs. Helen Neff, the wife of Robert Neff, a Bucyrus attorney, but she retains the famil> name of Picking.

She wants to carry the name along, says Picking. Who will take over the business is the $64 dollar question. My heirs will decide what to do.

Picking has been married to Maude Colter Picking for 68 years. She is 92. He says they have never had a serious argument in their lifetime, that he has never had any serious tragedy.

Pickings shop has become a museum, attracting antique cd-lectors and the curious from miles away. He himself is a collector of the past. 9

He works out of a dingy office 9 feet wide and 20 feet l(Kig. Two lights hang from plain sockets. He sits at his 50-year-old rolltop desk cluttered with papers. In the back is a big safe weighing 4,000 pounds with three doors and three combinations. It is more than 100 years old. They dont even make them any more.

There is no secretary, no bookkeeper, no typewriters, not even an adding machine. There never has been since 1874 when Daniel Picking began manufacturing copper apple butter kettles in the same gray, two-story frame building on South Walnut Street, a block from the towns main street.

There is a 75-year-old gas stove at one end of his office, and an 80-year-old hurdy gurdy from Spain. There are other antiques; a 130-year-old wooden lock used on a milk house: a noodle cutter made in Bucyrus in the 1870s; a hot air engine fan from 1880; a hard candy making machine.

Much of his office is cluttered with a glass, ivory and marble menagerie of elephants Photos of circus elephants and performers adorn the walls.

It was Pickings boyhood dream to be a circus man.

"My father changed my ambitions. But the circus is my hobby. Ive ridden elephants in a parade. I travel miles to the circus but I cant go to as many as I used to."

Most of Pickings business is with jobbers and wtolesalers.

He is still making the original apple butter kettles after 102 years. His six craftsmen assemble them in two pieces They are brazed at the seams, not welded. His line also includes copper candy kettles and timpani for symphony orchestras.

South's decision to rebid four hearts is open to question. With stoppers in every suit, it might have been wiser to raise to three no trumpa contract which would have presented little problem.

West attacked with the top of his spade sequence, and declarer has to avoid one of four possible losers. One line is to win the ace of spades and lead the jack of trumps for a finesse. While the chances of East holding the king of hearts are even money, the finesse in itself would not necessarily bring in the whole suit. Declarer would have to find the king of hearts guarded no more than twice. If East held four hearts to the king or a singleton king, the finesse would succeed but declarer would still have to lose a

trump trick. Therefore, the heart finesse represents something less than a 50 per cent chance of making the contract.

A second line would be to win the ace of spades and take the club finesse. Since a successful club finesse would eliminate a club loser, this represents a .50 .50 chance, and is superior to the trump finesse.

However, even that is not the best line available. Strangely enough, the correct play is not to rely on any finesse!

Suppose declarer wins the first trick in his hand with the king of spades and immediately plays the ace and queen of clubs. West can win the king of clubs and revert to spades, but declarer can rise with the ace. discard his remaining spade on the jack of clubs and then take the trump finesse for a possible overtrick.

This line guarantees the contract unless clubs break 7 1 or 6-2. However, the chances of the third round of clubs going through are just about 80 per cent, or considerably better than the other choices.

Your play to the first trick could decide the fate of the contract! A writer once remarked: "Theres no such thing as a blind opening lead, only deaf opening leaders!"

It centers on Shepherds youth (hes Ralph in the show) and the lives of all around him in a grimy steel mill town in what he calls the great inverted bowl of darkness the Midwest.

The town is where he got his first real part-time job, delivering mail at the steel mill, where he learned to dream the American dream of the beautiful future, the

glorious past, the crummy now.

It is vthere his old man loved two things, his used Olds and the Chicago White Sox; where his mother was forever battling the trivia of her,life, where his kid brother could make his nose run at will.

It is where Zudock, the old mans, pal, proudly declared, I ordered a house from Sears and Roebuck...a Cape Cod Imperial. Five rooms, and it comes in a kit.

It is where Pop, a working stiff who never won anything in his life, won the Great Heroes from the World of Sports contest, and was mailed his tn^hy, a plastic lamp shaped like a womans leg.

It also is where Mom accidentally broke the lamp, enraging Pop.

He dashed out for repair material and returned with Iron Glue, so powerful mechanics use it to mend exploded locomotives.

Banker Holds Yule Party For Street Kids

By MARY LENZ Associated Press Writer

RIO DE JANEIRO, BrazU (AP)) Life to Betinho is a four-letter word.

'The eight-year-old Brazilian street kid never knew his father, and his mother abandoned him when he was four. He shines shoes to eat and tries to sleep at friends houses because he doesnt like to sleep in the street.

But things will get better, he told Steve Murphy.

Murphy, a bachelor in his early 30s, is an American banker who tries to know Brazilians of all kinds. He onCe lived for six months in a favela, one of the hillside slums that the well-to-do avoid and police are reluctant to enter. He had been growing more and more concerned about Betinho and the rest of the 15 million abandoned Brazilian children who beg and steal to stay alive in the cities.

I decided something ought to be done for the kids even in a small personal way, the young American said.

He wrote his American and Brazilian friends asking them to help with a Christmas party at his apartment in Rios elegant Copacabana district. Each friend was asked to find an abandoned child to bring to the party.

Some of his friends responded enthusiastically. They raised money to buy shoes, shorts and

t-shirts, ice cream, cake and punch. Three toy companies volunteered to donate 200 to 300 toys.

Not everyone approved.

I think its a very eccentric idea for Rio, one man said. I know these kids theyre mean. Theyll come to his' house and hell never get rid of them.

Hell probably get his house robbed, said another who refused to contribute. You cant control those kids.

Some asked us why we didnt dimate this money to organized charity because its more efficient, said Murphy. My reply is that organized charity puts a buffer between the giver and the receiver, the child and us, the fat cats of society.

I thought it was about time that we got down and talked personally to these children.

About 130 children were rounded up. At Murphys apartment they found ice cream.

punch, cake, presents, clothes and Papa Noel, Brazils Santa Claus.

Murphy will gather a few friends on Christmas Eve and take to the hills to distribute the gifts left from the party among families in the favelas.

Students Study In Bathroom

PROVO, Utah (UPI) - A study in a Salt Lake City high school showed students under pressure of exams do their studying in the bathroom because it is the only place in many homes that offer seclusion and proper lighting.

Ted Dansie, chairman of Brigham Young Universitys department of interior environment, uses this to illustrate the need for designing homes with family needs in mind.

Designers need to sit down with their clients and determine family goals and life style, then develop a supportive environment, he said. For the student wdio needs to study, even a closet with a pull-down desk top and proper lighting Would do, he said.

It is where Mom went to the Orpheum 'Hteater on Dish Night, partaking of the vast sonata of entertainment offered by Mr. Doppler, the manager who presided over all like some mythical god...

It is where Ralph, facing the first and last high school junior prom of his young life, coveted the fair, lovely, unapproachable Daphne Bigelow but lacked the guts to ask her out.

And it is where he wound up taking homely, bespectacled Wanda Hickey, the algebra shark, to the prom, to dance as Mickey Isley and His Magic Music Makers completely rendered Red Sails in the Sunset.

The standout cast includes David Elliott as young Ralph; James Broderick, the father in Family, as Ralphs old man; Roberta Wallach as Wanda, and William Lampley as Ralphs pal. Flick.

Shepherd freaks whove either heard him on radio or read his published works wont need any encouragement to watch this opus.

Couple Reportedly Operates 'Playmate' Club

SANFV)RD, N.C. (AP) - A nationwide club which offers to Introduce lonely men to play-nnates is operated from a San-fMti couples living room in a fashionable subdivision, according to The Fayetteville Observ-er.

The newspaper. In todays editions, said the operation is called the V.I.P. Services club and involves distribution of nude or nearly nude photographs of women as dating pro^iects to men who pay a $20 fee to join.

Most of the information for the article was obtained by Observer reporter Pat Reese, who

paid the $20 fee and received materials from the club as part of his investigation.

Reese identifies the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Sh^ pard.

Shepard, 43, told TTie Associated Press he and his wife operate a wide-ranging wholesale distribution business from their home that includes material readily available in adults-only bookstores. But he said the business is only a mail order clearinghouse.

Were dealers for these magazines and clubs, and sell their publications, Sheppard said in a telephone interview.

I think theyre (the newspaper) off base. They are making a connection between me and activities 1 just may be a dealer for, through magazines .

We are wholesale dealers and distributors of general merchandise for a large number of companies, including magazines, subscriptions, and some of these companies offer these private introduction clubs.

We sell magazine subscriptions and lists of this sort, he said. You can also get them in bookstores. Some people dont like to ^ into bookstores.

Sheppard declined to discuss the club specifically mentioned in the Observer reporters story.

The Observer said the State Bureau of Investigation and the Sanford Police Department have active files on the club. Sheppard said he has had no contact with law enforcement officers.

Sheppard, a Pittsburgh, Pa. native, said he has operated the distribution business since 1974, when he resigned from Trion Inc., a local manufacturer. He said the business includes distribution of general merchan-

According to the Observer report, a man who pays the $20 fee receives material by mail that includes nude or nearly nude pictures of three to five

women. If the member then forwards a love gift of $100 to $150, he can then make a date with one of the women.

The mailings include detailed physical information and preferences for certain sexual acts,

Blackmail Nof Way To Get Help

By JEANNE LESEM UPI FamUy Editor

A working wife who wants her husband and children to help with the housework is more apt to get help if she asks for it straightforwardly even if she starts a fight by doing so.

So says Terrance D. Olson, a family and marriage counselor and a professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Olson calls it blackmaU if a wife makes pointed remarks behind her husbands back or tries subtlety.

She could say Tm sick and tired of doing all this on my

Wine Courses Set Example

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (UPI) Wine courses on college campuses set a good exampl by emphasizing taste and sensory experience instead of drinking for effect, says a professor emeritus of the University of California at Davis.

Dr. Maynard Amerine told the Pacific Coast College Health Association that college students exposed to wine in proper academic settings should develop healthy attitudes toward drinking.

own. I need your help.

Maybe this ... will start a fi^t, but it could have a positive effect, Olsen said in an interview. Its a risk, but it ends up being worth taking.

He said research shows education increases flexibility, makes a man more willing to be a partner with his wife, to help at home as Olson himself does with his wife, Karen, a former schoolteacher.

I know the demands (on her) are as great or greater than mine at school. I have pretty much an 8 to 5 day. Four monngs a week, 1 take one daughter to nursery school. It gives us some time together. If 1 can, I put the kids to bed at least three nights a week. Its good for all of us. It eases the weight of Karens day.

Olson added that husbands unwillingness to coq>erate in homemaking chores brings on a lot of hostility toward men in the womens movement.

Its backlash. We are getting exactly what we deserve from the way we have treated women. Women have been devalued historically in this country. Our society ridicules men for helping at home. Mdst of them dont know how to do housework, and most will avoid anything that makes them appear incompetent. Olson, who has five small children of his own, believes in early involvement in both

housek^ing and family leisure activities.

If you wait until kids are teen-agers, they often become rebellious, he said, and parents who try brute force only make matters worse. When that happens, Olson suggests admitting defeat openly:

Say T guess I have to admit I cant force you to help to do anything. I need your help; things would go more smoothly. What are you willing to do? Dont expect immediate cooperation, he warned. Parents are only willing to try waiting for two or three days, but the teen-age lag may be two weeks. Youre not going to break a 15-year habit in two or three days.

He calls Are you willing? the key phrase, and urges parents who give choices to be prepared to accept vriiatever answer is given. Otherwise, its blackmail again.

You could say, Tm willing to drive us to the beach. What are you willing to do? Your child or children might volunteer to mow the lawn or pack the lunch to take to the beach. Be prepared to fail initially, he said. If you do, You might say, It looks like its not going to work this time. Lets try again next week. I predict a more co(^)erative tone the next time because you havent tried force the first time.

Sometimes inaction works. If

you have been quarreling, harping, complaining, try silence instead, he advised.

He said one of the most effective ways of stepping a quarrel is by talking about the quarrelers with someone else in their presence. He and cocounselors work as a team to do just that.

Family cooperation is more common at middle to lower economic levels, he said, sometimes from necessity, the survival instinct.

As people get more discretionary income, he said, they begin to look outside the home for fulfillment. Then family orientation begins again at the wealthy level.

Sculptor In Sand

Carves Masterpieces Of Weymouth Beach

By GREGORY JENSEN

WEYMOUTH. England (UPI) Every time sculptor Fred Darrington carves a masterpiece it crumbles into nothing in three weeks. Sometimes it doesnt even last that long.

I was doing the Last Supper this year. Darrington said recently in his (^n-air studi-o on Weymouth beach, and it was a big job 13 life-sized figures around a big white table. It took me 18 days.

The very night before I was going to put on the last touches, somebody came along and smashed it all.

Vandalism is one of the hazards of the trade when you make your living, as Darrington does, carving sand.

Darrington, 66, brown and weathered like a piece of driftwood, spends most of the year on the beach at Weymouth as the last of the sand<asUe men.

His sand castles are those every toddler imagines he is going to make with his bucket and shovd towering, turret-ed fantasies, or Gothic churches with ^ires and gargoyles. More oftoL Darrington carves tableaux the width of a room, so real it is hard to believe they are only sand.

Catching sight of his huge painted sand sculptures on Weymouth beach is like leaping for a moment back into the horse and bu^ age.

Once there were scores of

seaside showmen like Darrington, pitchmen who used every kind of gimmick to coax coins out of people strolling along beachfront promenades. There arent many left.

I started this as a kid, Darrington said. Fifty or 60 of us had little pitches then, like sidewalk artists, doing litUe things.

In my teens it got down to a half-dozen of us. My stuff was always higher or bigger or a little bit more elaborate, so 1 was always the king of the castle.

Id do a church and put gargoyles on it, or bow windows on a house any little thing to simulate the real thing. And all the time since Ive just bei improving and improving.

Darrington has worked this same patch of beach since a heart attack helped decide him against an electricians career. In the winter hes an odd-job man.

But early each spring its back to Weymouth, a seaside resort 131 miles west of London which is like something the waves washed in. The town seems to cling to the age of King George III, who lost America but whose patronage put Weymouth on the resort map. His statue dominates the seafront town square, pudgy and proud in garish colors.

Darrington spends three weeks digging out his sandpit

studio' and throwmg up a three-sided shelter to keep off the worst of the rain. Thi he begins to sculpt.

I started this year with sea horses. he said, rummaging in a crammed wood hut to find a photograph. It showed tossing blue waves 16 feet vride with five horses heads thrusting through

In three weeks, as always with his sculptures, it crumbled. So Darrington worked seven or eight days to build a new fanciful subject from the rxilns of the old.

I went on to the Jungle Book, and then the Last Siqjper. he said. 1 had to do that a second time when the first one got smashed. And then this one.

He gestured at a ^rawiing. lifelike scene of a kneeling Prince (Charming awakening Sleeping Beauty on her couch. Unrelated small sculptures lined sand shelves nearby a horses head, figures from a TV pm>pe( show, fruit which looked real enou|^ to eat.

I use no wires or props, no cement, no piaster, no glue. says a sign Darrington has painted to answer the strollers vdto provide his living.

The secret of my recipe is water, sand and paint, a simple knife, a little patience and a steMly hand.

The years have brought a certain fante to this self-taught artist. He demonstrated his art

at a big London exhibition and has grown used to seeing himself on television or in British magazines.

*Th 72 they wanted me to tour Australia." he said. "1 said fine, but 1 wouldnt go without Weymouth sand.

"We got 8(X) bags ready 90 tons of sand .And then they wanted agricultural certificates. and import licenses, and there was so much red tape and so much cost that the whde thing fell through "

Darrington insists he must sculpt with Weymouth sand, washed onto the huge crescent beach from the Portland stone quarries which provided most of the stone for London buildings.

Tve tried other kinds, he said, "Every time we go on holiday Im out tr>ing the sand, and it takes me no time at all to draw a crowd But theres no sand in the world to match Weymouth sand Look here

He squeezed a damp handful and uncurled his fingers, leaving a perf^'t impression as in soft brown sugar He plopped the handful upright and with his kitchen paring knife the only tool he uses apart from a battered tablespoon sliced it into a paper-thm obelisk, shaped like a tiny Washmgton monument

That uill stay that way for about three weeks. Darrington said. Thats Weymouth sand That's why I can do what 1 do

Sat A Second Inaugural Ball

RALEIGH (AP) - Thanks to an overwhelming demand for $50 tickets to the Inaugural Ball, a second ball has been scheduled at a cutrate price

The ball will be at Reynolds Coliseum on the North Carolina State University campus Jan. 7 in honor of Gov.-elect Jim Hunt, Mrs. Hunt, Lt. Gov.-elect Jimmy Green, Mrs. Green, and other members of the Council of State It is being sponsored by the Junior League of Raleigh and the North Carolina Symphony.

The $50 seats entitled the buyer to a place at a table on the coliseum floor, dancing and a listing on the program. There were 4,000 such seats but they have all sold out.

To accomodate the overflow, several hundred more seats are being made available at 125 each in the Student Center which is next door to the coii-seum. Those with tickets to the student center seats will have all the privileges of the $50 ticket holders but wont be able to sit at a table during the inaugural show.

Following the show, those with $25 tickets will be escorted to the Student Center for food

Vice Officer Passes Test

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - A Durham vice squad officer accused of planting drugs on a suspect three years ago passed a State Bureau of Investigation polygraph test.

Sgt. J.C. Fuller was accused by black vice squad officers of planting the drugs during a March, 1973, raid at the home of Dennis Johnson.

Dist. Atty. Anthony M. Brannon said an SBI investigation concluded that Sgt. J. C. Fuller was truthful in flat, une-quivocable denial of planting drugs or having anyone else planting drugs during, before or in any connection wii.h that raid.

Brannon had asked for the state probe after City Manager 1. Harding Hughes had requested action following complaints from the officers relayed through attorney Kenneth Spaulding.

Those officers also complained there was a quota on the number of blacks in the vice squad and the blacks were routinely given the most hazardous assignments.

The Durham City Council established a committee to review those complaints.

Governor To Be 'Mr. President'

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -When Washington Gov. Dan Evans leaves political life next month, he apparently will become Mr. President.

Officials at Evergreen State College here said Wednesday that the outgoing Republican governor was the unanimous choice of the 15-member presidential search committee to become the colleges second president.

The governor had no immediate comment on the report, buf through his press secretary, the governor told 'The Associated Press he "will have something to say in a day or two.

The current president, who is resigning, now makes $43,000 a year, slightly more than the $42,150 the governor earns, and the job also carries state pension benefits and includes a huge waterfront home.

CINCINNATI (AP) - In the name of outdoors enthusiast Izaak Walton, the Cincinnati Zoo is concocting a polluted stream.

Janet Ross, zoo public relations assistant, said two 40(^gal-lon tanks will be set up side by side.

One will represent a healthy stream with clean water fish and plant life, she said. The other will contain trash, bottles and rough fish as would be found in a poiiuted stream.

The display is being funded by the Izaak Walton Endowment Fund.

The show includes performances by the North Carolina Symphony, its Youth Chorale, Jazz singer Carol Sloane who sang at a fund raising for Hunt during the campaign, and the Grandfather Mountain Gog-gers. Master of ceremonies will be Andy Griffith, a native Tar Heel.

Despite the shortage of $50 seats, ball officials say there still are a number of $3 spectator seats available. Holders of $3 tickets will not be permitted on the coliseum floor.

INTRODUCING

The Answer

Corolla 2 Door Sedan Model 1401

THE ANSWERWith the lowest price and highest gas mileage of any new car sold in America, the 1977 Toyota Corolla two-door sedan is the answer to everything the consumer has been looking for in a small car. Powered by a 1.2-liter, four-cylinder engine, the car has a price of $2,788.'*lt achieved 49 miles per gallon on the highway and 34 m.p.g. in the city in EPA economy tests. In California and high-altitude areas, the mileage varies because there the car is powered by a larger 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine to meet stricter emission standards. The two-door sedan features a four-speed manual transmission, new grille design, power front disc brakes, high-back bucket seats, styled-steel wheels and power-boosted flow-through ventilation.

* This price does not include N.C. Sales Tax, dealer prep, title and license fees, etc.

100,000 Miles

Or 3 Years New Car Warranty

USED CAR WARRANTY

12 MONTHS

MILES

This guarantee applies to cars sailing for StOM.OO and up. On a 50-50 basis. All work must be done in our shop. This warranty does not apply to any sport cars, high performance or air cooled engines or 4 speed transmissions (except economy cars). Most good used cars (even if they look like new) are only guaranteed for a month. Or for a thousand miles. No more. And some are not guaranteed at all. But at Tarheel when we say a used car is in excellent condition, we're willing to stand behind it. We're willing to do something a little extra for it. So we guarantee its motor, its rear end and its transmission lor twelve months or twelve thousand miles. If you're in the market for a better used car, come out to Tarheel and look at ours. We'll show you some as good as new. Guaranteed. Asterisk denotes warranted car.
