WASHINGTON (AP) -The federal government will soon begin comparing computer tapes of the 110 million wage earners who pay Social Security taxes with welfare rolls from across the country in a search for welfare cheaters and bureaucratic waste.

Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Joseph A. Califano Jr. disclosed plans for the project Tuesday in a

year-end interview with The Associated Press.

The secretary predicted the project would help restore public confidence in the welfare system by getting the welfare rolls down to thosgipeople who are entitled to be on them.

He said the computer matching is theoretically foolproof.

As a condition of getting AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) benefits, you have to report

WORLD VISION?

I want to send a (Christmas (kmation to Worid Vision, b(|t would like to know where I can get some inftmnation about bow much the organizatk actually spends on people and how much it fiends on administration and fund-raising. Mrs. C. T.

Any North Carolina citizen may get information about any organization, in-state or outof-state, which solicits for funds in this state. The office to contact is the Solicitation Licensing Branch of the N. C. Department of Human Resources Division of Faculty Services, Box 12200, Raleigh, N. C. 27605; phone, 733-4510.

Hotline obtained information about World Vision specifically. Dorothy Johnson, the woman in the Solicitation Licensing Office to whom we talked, said World Vision is licensed through February 1, 1978. Records of the organization for the fiscal year, Oct. 1,1975 through Sept. 30,1976 showed total income for the year to be $27,400,699. Of this, $26,830,518 was from contributions. Expenditures were $22,759,670, with $1,989,628 (8.74 percent) going for administration costs and $3,542,779 (13,2 per cent) for fund-raising. $17,227,263 (75.69 percent) went for program services. The avowed purpose of World Vision is to conduct Christian religious and missionary service, to teach and preach the Gospel and td spread the Christian religion. It maintains f(X)d and self-help programs in a number of foreign countries, according to information filed with the Solicitation Office.

One of the Solicitation Offices criteria for licensing is that a^haritable organization spend not more than 35 per cent of its contributions for fund- raising. World Vision does well in this area, Ms. Johnson said.

what your income is. If you report your income accurately and properly, it will never show up. (But) if you report your income inaccurately, then it (welfare fraud) will.

The new program is an expansion of Project Match, which Califano launched earlier this year by comparing HEWs Washington payroll with local welfare rolls.

The effort h8s so far spread out to compare the names, social security numbers and salaries of 2.8 million federal civil servants against the names of welfare recipients in 20 major metropolitan areas, turning up 13,000 welfare recipients getting federal paychecks.

Some of those presumably were receiving aid legitimately, but a pilot study

indicated that perhaps 25 percent of the names appearing on both lists would be people ineligible for welfare or receiving too much in benefits, investigators said.

Responding to earlier criticism that Project Match is an unwarranted invasion of individual privacy, Califano said: This in no way in my judgment will violate anyones privacy. Well do this with delicacy and care.

Califano is acting on authority granted in a little-noticed section of the new Social Security law signed by President Carter on Tuesday. The section, accepted at the last minute by House and Senate conferees on the bill, had been inserted by the Senate Finance Committee, headed by Sen. Russell Long. D-La.

Califano said he expects big progress next year on

error, fraud and abuse in welfare, adding that he intends to move right away and to the utmost in using the normally confidential computer files of the Social Security system.

On other subjects, the Secretary said in the interview:

He considers the Social Security bill a legislative success for the Carter administration even without the primary innovations Califano and Carter had proposed.

Race discrimination is still the most difficult problem we face in the human arena in this country.

The administrations National Health Insurance legislation may not be introduced next year for tactical reasons, but it will be if we get it the centerpiece of the presidents first administration at home.

Explorer Scout Troop Formation

i etAAHA at Pr*MH RtpharHsnn ^iH

ByCAROLTYER Reflector SUfl Writer

The Pitt Memorial Hospital Board, which met last night for the first time in the ECU Medical School Auditorium, approved the formation of an Explorer Scout troop at the hospital.

The idea was presented by Scout Executive Richard Kelly, who said the proposed troop would be compo^ of boys and girls who believe themselves to be interested in a health care career. Leaders would come from the hospital staff and the members would carry out various learning and service projects.

A brain death policy was approved. A committee of three doctors would decide when brain death has occurred and when, artificial life support may be discontinued. A protocol manual for such situations has been devised and will be used at Pitt, the Board indicated.

The Board voted to give the parking committee the authority to decide whether the hospital would be better off to borrow money and construct extra park-, ing space on the grounds itself or whether it should let the parking lot management company with which it has entered into contract do this. The less expensive way seems to be for the hospital to handle the project itself, it was indicated.

It was announced that the

hospital has received a $10,000 refund plus interest for money overpaid for professional liability insurance.

Board Treasurer J. H. Moye said the hospital has a little cash on hand and has paid back the last $50,000 of a $450,000 loan it had to take when the new hospital first opened. He said accounts receivable continue to climb, but this seems to be because the volume of work done at the hospital climbs each month.

An N. C. Hospital,Association cost containment recommendation program was discussed. Hospital Director Jack Richardson said recommendations include the sharing with other area hospitals of such services as laundry*, computer, etc.; public education encouraging people to develop a relationship with a personal physician, rather than seeking the services of an institution such as the hospital when an health emergency arises; a seminar to familiarize the administration with zero based budgeting; the temporary disuse of certain beds during cyclic slow periods like the Christmas holidays, the practice of letting doctors know exactly how much their patients hospital bills are running, the ein-couragement of doctors to prescribe drugs by generic name rather than brand name, and automated billing. Most or all of these things are being done

Safety Tree Set Up

SAFETY TREE.. .Ugbted with green lights was ere(^ hy the Pilot Qub of Greenville to remind motorists to drive

ByR.GREGORYNOKES

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -Higher prices for beef, fresh fruit and other food products helped push consumer prices up by .5 percent in November, the largest increase in five months, the Labor Department said today.

Overall food prices increased .6 percent in November, also the biggest advance in five months, and prices of other goods consumers buy rose .5 percent, the most in nine months. Prices of new automobiles were up 1.5 percent.

The November increase in the Consumer Price Index

appeared to confirm expectations of many economists that the pace of inflation will quicken in months ahead, with higher food prices a major factor.

Consumer prices had increased just .3 percent in each of the preceding three months.

The Labor Department said prices consumers pay increased 6.7 percent between November 1976 and last month. It said its Consumer Price Index stood at 185.4 of the 1967 average of 100, meaning it cost $185.40 to purchase goods priced at $100 ten years earlier.

The increase in food prices

at PCMH, Richardson said.

Nursing Director Jean Owens said recruitment of nurses for the Neo-Natal unit and the Three South unit is underway. The opening of Three South may have to be delayed if a sufficient number of nurses cannot be found, she said, since Neo Natals opening is first priority. Some 25 additional nurses will be needed by April, she said.

Rehabilitation Unit director Dave McRae announced that Dr. Don Weir of Iowa has been retained as medical director of the Rehab Center. Dr. Weir, who has 19 years experience in rehabilitation medicine, will be here in June. McRae said.

Building Manager Ralph Hall said the landscape architect will be here the middle of next week to present plans for the grounds. Some grass has already been planted. Hall said.

United Fund Chairman Rick Gilstrap reported that some $6,300 has been pledged by hospital employees to the community fund drive. He credited Dick Petrie for his work on this project.

Provisional active privileges were approved by the Board for Dr. Clark Bright in anesthesiology; for Dr. Cameron Smith in dermatology; for Dr. Walter Pories in surgery; for Dr. Jane Schick in child psychiatry; and for Dr. Verbena Sugg in pediatrics.

Flee Scene

WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter and his lamiiy new from Washington today for a down-home Christmas in Georgia.

In keeping with a Carter family tradition, the president, his wife Rosalynn, daughter Amy, son Jeff and daughter-in-law Annette are planning to spend a quiet holiday in Plains.

We plan no newsmaking activities, Press Secretary Jody Powell told reporters.

The trip means escape from Washingtons foul weather and the prospect of Georgia days when the temperature climbs above freezing and the sun peeks through the clouds.

It also means an opportunity for the president and his family to see old friends again. They havent been home since August.

And it means a chance to do some quail hunting. Its quail season in (Jeorgia, and the president likes to hunt.

But the Carter visit also means renewed public focus on the rift among Baptists in Plains.

They have split over longstanding family conflicts, political differences and the Plains Baptist Churchs refusal to let blacks be members. Opponents of that policy have formed the Maranatha Baptist Church outside of town.

Carter, a longtime opponent of the policy, nonetheless at-' tended both churches last time he visited Plains. He went to Bible class at Plains Baptist Church and to services at Maranatha.

He prayed publicly for reconciliation.

The president is likely to visit both churches again this time for Christmas, although he has said he feels more affinity for members of the breakaway church.

I feel more compatible with that group, he said.

in November had been expected, but the .5 percent increase in prices of other goods was higher than economists had predicted in advance. It was the biggest increase since a .7 percent rise last February, and the Labor Department blamed it primarily on higher auto prices.

The 1.5 percent increase in new car prices included higher prices for 1978 model U.S. cars as well as prices of imported vehicles, which have increased because df the declining value of the U.S, dollar in countries such as Japan and Germany.

Used-car prices rose .1 percent after declining sharply from April through October.

There also were higher prices for alcoholic beverages, up .7 percent and for apparel, up .5 percent. The cost to the consumer of gasoline and motor oil advanced .8 percent, but that was less than in October.

Prices of fuel oil and coal declined .8 percent, the first price drop since early in 1976, the Labor Department said.

The .6 percent increase in food prices compared with rises of just .1 percent in September and October and was the largest since a .8 percent increase in June. The increases had been expected since wholesale food prices rose steeply in the past two months.

The figures were adjusted for seasonal variations.

In a separate report on earnings, the Labor Department said the purchasing power of workers paychecks declined .4 percent in November, on a seasonally adjusted basis, although it was still 3.9 percent better than a year earlier.

The Safety Committee of the Pilot Club of Greenville has erected a safety tree again this year to remind motorists to drive carefully during the holiday season.

David Qark, son of Dr. and Mrs. Amos 0. Clark, designed 4 ,

and built the tree. He is a student at Aycock School where he is in the ninth grade. His mother is a member of the local Pilot Club.

The safety tree is located on the corner of Greenville Bypass and Charles Street.

The Pilot Club members are asking the cooperation of area residents in helping keep green lights on the tree.

Other members of the Safety Committee are Mrs. Blache Jones and Ms. Camille B. Clarke.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Flue-cured tobacco farmers could plant more acres next year if they agree to harvest only the higher quality upper leaver from each stalk, the Agriculture Department proposes.

In a statement 'Tuesday the department said, Growers could plant up to 120 percent of the farm acreage allotment and receive price support if they agree not to harvest the four lower leaves of each stalk.

The plan was recommended by a department task force which has been studying ways to modify the govei^nments tobacco program.

The average price support for flue-cured tobacco this year was slightly less than $1.14 a pound. Although not offically announced, the 1978 support rate is expected to go up to more than $1.21 a pound.

Under the 1977 program, growers could plant 110 percent of their acreage allotments and qualify for price support; this year they could not qualify for supports if they planted more than 100

Pot-Sniffer Is Found, On Job

LAREDO, Texas (AP) -Smokey, the marijuana-sniffing dog that escaped last week, is back on the job after several days taking in the sights and smells of Mexico.

U.S. Customs officials said the German shepherd was discovered by a Neuvo Laredo resident in the market plaza of the Mexican city just across the border from Laredo. The resident collected a $100 reward.

When Smokey disappeared, officials feared the worst for Laredos pot users. Another pot-sniffing canine got loose a-few years ago and attacked a local resident who had some marijuana in his pocket.

percent of their allotment.

Officials said the proposal would help strengthen the tobacco price support program by reducing the possibility of losses to the government when large quantities of lower-stalk leaf are put under loan. Tobacco not sold at auctions is usually put iinder loan to the government. It can later be sold, usually at prices less than the loan rate and at a net loss to the government.

The change would also enable growers to share in additional foreign tobacco markets, the department said. Current stocks of lower stalk tobacco under loan is equal to about a two-year supply but demand is expected to remain strong for upper stalk grades which typically are bought for export and provide producers higher net returns.

Officials said the proposal will be open for public comment for 30 days. Comments can be sent to the Director, Price Support and Loan Division, AS(S, USDA, Box 2415, Washington, DC. 20013.

In Santa Letter

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) -Every year during the Christmas season The Longmont Times-Call runs a Letters to Santa column in which the paper prints childrens letters, usually listing things they want left under the tree.

This year one generous child turned in his list, and then added:

PS: My aunt typed this for me and 1 would like for you to bring her something useful, like a boyfriend!

PREDICTS RECORD

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Gov. Jim Hunt announced today that industrial development in North Carolina through November has already surpassed all of last year and predicted that a new record would be set.

WASHINGTON (AP) - An Arab businessman is buying a majority of Bert Lances shares in the National Bank of Georgia, giving Lance a profit on stock that last spring was being traded for half its original value.

Lance, who resigned as President Carters budget director in September after controversy arose over his banking activities, is receiving $20 a share for the stock, about $3 more than he paid for most of it, said a lawyer for Lance.

Robert A. Altman, the attorney, said Lance agreed to sell 60 percent of his more than 200,000 shares in the Atlanta bank to Ghaith R. Pharaon, 37, a prominent Saudi Arabia contractor who is part owner of another American bank.

Altman announced the deal on Tuesday. Lance, the Georgia banks former chairman, owns about 16 percent of the outstanding stock.

The sale would net Lance about $2.4 million and help relieve him of recent financial concerns brought about by debts resulting from large bank loans. When he revealed his net worth last January before taking the budget job, Lance showed total liabilities of about $5.3 million.

Altman said three other major shareholders of NBG, one of Georgias largest banks, have also agreed in principle to sell their shares to Pharaon. The three together reportedly own about 31 percent of the banks outstanding shares.

The sale by Lance of 120,000 shares must still be approved by the banks directors.

MEMORIAL FUND

GOLDSBORO. N.C. (AP) -The Wayne Foundation initiated with a $5,000 contribution today a fund to create a memorial for Warren Alston and Barney Lewis, former Goldsboro high school basketball stars who were killed in the plane crash last week that took the lives of the entire Evansville Univ. team.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Not even the best drivers can escape the hazards of winter driving, a Purdue University safety expert cautions, but stalling, sliding and even accidents can be cut down with some preventive measures, adds Alan McDonald.

The mechanical engineering professor suggests that every driver should keep a scraper in the car, along with a snow brush. He also recommends that those living in snowy regions carry chains in the trunk.

Among good driving habits to develop, he advises, is, first, to judge the conditions.

Remember, just because the road crews are out doesnt mean all the roads are clear and dry. Don't forget, he adds, that main thoroughfares are cleared first; residential streets require more caution.

If conditions are bad. stay home if at alj possible, but if you must go out, McDonald recommends taking along warm clothing, just in case youre left stranded on a lonely road. And if you havent looked at your driving manual lately, do so. especially the section on starting the car, he advises.

Always let the car warm up three to five minutes before driving away, he says. Youre less likely to stall when the car is warm, and it prevents the vehicle from sputtering and stopping in traffic, giving the driver more control.

Once you get moving, drive super-defer.sively, and plan ahead. That is. begin to slow the car long before you come to a stop signal adjust your speed to the conditions and give yourself a lot of leeway.

Bad road conditions, McDonald warns, are not always obvious. One of the worst possible conditions for a road is during the first rain or snow when it has not rain for a time. Then all oil and rubber thats collected on the surface suddenly floats to the top, forming a slick surface..

One of the more common dangers on such surfaces is skidding, explains McEkmald, who notes that one way to prepare for this frightening ex

perience is to practice before actually driving in heavy traffic.

I hesitate to tell people to go out and practice skidding, but its really the best way. You wont know how to react until you experience the sensation, he says.

To practice, he suggests finding a deserted area where you can try steering the car quickly from side to side and then applying the brakes.

How should you respond in a skid? The answer, he says, is to steer into the direction of the skid and dont slam on the brakes. Pump them gently but firmly, because slanuning the brakes will lock the wheels in one position you wont be able to steer and will lose control of the car's direction.

When driving in heavy snow or rain, the engineer advises using low headlight beams so as not to get as much glare reflection.

When driving up slippery hills, maintain a steady speed and make any changes as gently as possible. But there probably will be situations in which you just cant make it, he adds.

McDonald points out that bridges, even on the Interstates, are among the most dangerous places, since bridge surfaces tend to freeze much faster than other parts of the road.

And theres nothing magic about a heavy car. he emphasizes. Its the weight distribution that counts, so dont feel youre safe just because you happen to have a heavier car.

Youth Faces Tragedy In Death Of Mother

By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer

It has been five years since 16-year-old Stephen Mashler lost his mother, but somehow the memories are stiil there because there wasnt time enough to say goodbyes, says the handsome 6-foot-3 youth.

His family father and relatives didnt share the secret they were harboring, that she was terminally ill, until two weeks before his mother died, he said. His grief made such an impression on author Peggy Mann, who knew his mother, that she decided to write a book about such situations to help other young people.

I interviewed a number of young people who had experienced similar tragedies to get perspective on a book, which had to be fictionalized because there was so much to say and 1 wanted to provide a strong message, she said. Stephen helped me a great deal.

The book, There Are Two Kinds of Terrible, was

recently published.

"I had no one to relate to when I finally found out about my mother," Stephen commented. I didnt have a girl friend or an older friend. I talked to my aunt a little bit, but I could not communicate with my father. I just did not fel open with him.

Like many suburban youths - he had lived in Mamaroneck, N Y. - Stephen had little contact with his hard working father, who holds a U.N. post and travels a good deal.

I played baseball with my mother and sometimes we went to the movies. We did a lot of things together. She liked every kind of animal and birds. I guess I inherited a love of nature from her, he says.

Stephen is living with some good family friends in Leon-ia, N.J., where he is a Junior in high school, but he wishes he could settle down in one spot for a while.

It is just not the feeling that you really belong exactly where you are at the time. You look

Reader Wants Gift Returned

By Abigail Van Buren

1977 by 7t>e Chicago Trlbune-N Y News Synd 1f>c

DEAR ABBY: Four years ago I attended a shower for a bridge. I gave her a set of four very nice plastic placemats. The problem is she is still going with the same guy, but they arent married yet.

I was thinking about asking her to return the placemats because my daughter is getting married soon and she could use them.

What is your advice?

WONDERING

DEAR WONDERING: Forget It. The girl may marry the guy.

DEAR ABBY: Im 25, happily married, and have never cheated on my wife. My problem: Occasionally Ill gp to a topless bar with a few of my buddies. We have a few beers, watch the girls dance, and then we go home. (Honestlv.)

The girls do not come around and sit with the

customersthey just dance on the stage. There is m flirting with the men. Ive never met any of the girls who dance there, and I have no desire to.

My wife knows I would never run around on her, but she gets very hurt and angry when I tell her Ive been to a topless joint.

Shes always been unhappy about the smallness of her bust, even though Ive tried to convince her that Im satisfied with her the way she is.

ORDINARY UUY

DEAR ORDINARY: No. In fact its normal. Men (and women, too) have enjoyed viewing the human torso since the beginning of time. (Witness all the ancient nude sculpture and paintings in art museums.)

Because your wife is self-conscious about her small bust, her resentment is understandable.

Looking is not your problem. Talking is.

DEAR ABBY: I refer to two letters that appeared in your column on the same day. One was UNDERLOVED, complaining because her husband of W years had lost all interest in sex. The other was from PAID MY DUES-also married 20 yearscomplaining because her husband demanded too much sex.

I didnt think much of your advice. You told them Mm to see a physician or a sex therapist, then you dismissed them with, Thats just another of lifes inequities. In other words you are saying, tough situation.

Why didnt you put the two couples in topch with each

My father really tried to do what he considered best for me. In trying to be considerate, maybe he was over-considerate, Stephen said. The book is good idea because it may make people think.

Miss Manns fictionaiized version comes down a iittie hard on father-son relationships because it is a lot of fathers rolled Into one. She was writing a book about Ralph Bunche when she met Stephens mother, Doreen, who had worked with Bunche at the U.N.

Actually, the mother is a combination, too. The main idea was to show the effect such a plight can have on a youngster, she explained.

Young persons who lose a parent should talk to somebody to whom they can relate and should say whatever they feel like saying to unburden themselves, Stephen advises.

My schoolmates were very sympathetic when they found out from their parents what had happened, he recalls. At that time it might have been good to have a sister or a brother. With a bigger family, grief might have been shared and divided. In this case it truly was a burden.

There are ways blows could be cushioned, one reason parents should get their young people interested in sports and musical instruments, he points out.

NEW YORK (UPI) - For last-minute Christmas shoppers who have a choosy male to please this year, and limited funds, theres a galaxy of classy accessories that make impressive gifts.

For the businessman, there are space-age tools and leather goods to make what he carries as impressive as what he wears.

One, is a pocket clip-on calculator that fits in half a breast pocket, contains qiace for a pen and a pencil and can figure out everything from how much to tip the waitress to the square root of her dress size.

Its about $35, from Sharp.

If youve already made a commitment to modem hardware and software, but need more space than a pocket to tote it, the Luggage Gallery in New York City has a leather attache case that swells an extra inch when more room is needed. Four tabs unbutton to release the expandable floor. The cost, $75.

In the headwear department, the same styles that made such a hit last year the Irish walker and the clip bill are sure to be under more trees this year, and in more colors

and materials. Prices range from under $10 to $50.

Larry Kane has designed the Burgess, a wide, brim chapeau in three earth tones of felt, that can be worn various ways for different effects, from the Humphrey Bogart look to a Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It retails for $25.

The never-ending trend of designer wear has spread to eyewear. Newest in the field is what Bausch and Lomb calls Ray-Ban AmberMatic sunglasses. They not only resjwnd to changing outside conditions by getting lighter or darker but they also change colors.

On misty days, the lenses become amber to permit sharp focusing. On clear, sunny days, they turn brown to provide maximum protection from harsh light. For winter sports, their hue deepens to silver-gray to cut glare from snow.

They sell for $30 to $38 and are available for men and women in metal and plastic frames.

Colognes and after shaves can be risky gifts, unless you know your mans taste. If you do, mens fragrances come in a wide price range.

Aramis is introducing^ The Champagne Cooler, a smoked lucite cube holding a 32-ounce

bottle of cologne. When the bottle is removed, the cooler converts to an ice bucket. At $175, the ice better be pretty special.

Jacques Bogart is making his first Christmas pitch to the American market with a variety of colognes, after shaves and soaps that have a definitely distinctive scent. They range in price from $7.50 to $50.

4-Tbe Daily Reflector, Graonrfile, N.C.-WeihMaitay. DeccBotierSl, vmShoplifting Is Still A Crime

This is a Christmas message.

It concerns a part of Christmas and indeed every time of the year that is not so pleasant.

If you are tempted to shop lift this week, or any other time, dont.

Shop lifting is a crime. If you are caught it is embarrassing and if you are convicted it is a mark on your record for life. That is a high price to pay for a pair of socks or some useless trinket.

If you think you are ripping off the merchant and he deserves it for the high prices, just remember that any business has to put all of its cost of doing business into the sales price of its products. Thus other shoppers eventually have to take up the cost

of the items which are stolen.

The fact that shop lifting goes on nieans stpres have to increase surveilance, an inconvenience to the vast majority of the Shoppers who are honest.

If none of these reasons touch you, the potential shop lifter, then at least consider that stealing is just plain wrong. The item doesnt belong to you and you have no right to it without paying for it.

Being honest is an old fashion and simple virtue that is not held in the high esteem it once was. Honesty means treating our fellow man as we ourselves would want to be treated. Surely if Christmastime means anything to us, it should embrace that age old philosophy.Should Require Sufficient Supply

North Carolina has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for better natural gas prices in North Carolina.

The state has requested that the gas supplier be ordered to purchase enough emergency gas to supply the state. Much of the extra cost would be spread annong all of Transcontinental Gas PipeTHIS AFTERNOON

Line Corp. customers. This would eliminate much of the emergency gas surcharge to North Carolina customers.

Hopefully North Carolinas position will be acceptable to the federal commission. State natural gas users are simply paying too much in relation to other customers.

RALEIGHFar from getting the horse laugh from Tar Heel lawmakers, the idea of legalized gambling on horse races is still alive and well in the General Assembly.

It may be. as sponsor Wilda Hurst believes, an idea whose time has come.

Mrs. Hurst, D-Onslow, quietly introduced the proposal last summer as the General Assembly was in regular session. The expected controversy never occurredbut neither did legislative action.

The matter was assigned to a study commission. Such studies are sometimes a quiet graveyard for controversial information, rallying support. and coming back with a measure which can win legislative approval.

Circumstances seem to favor the possibility of serious consideration of a horse-race law for North Carolina.

Two Factors

The 1978 session will be a lame duck General Assembly

THE INSIDE REPORT

starting on May 31. after the May 2 primary. That could mean different attitudes among assemblymen relatively free of emotional and political pressures at homedepending upon a number of circumstances.

The state needs to come with more revemie despite pledges not to raise taxes; race track gambling could be a significant answer.

The study conunission has held one meeting to begin gathering information, and mapping future strategy. Co-Chairman are State Rep. Allen C. Ward, D-Brunswick; and State Siator Joe H. Palmer, D- Haywood. It is noteworthy that one is from the coast; one from the mountains. Obviously, tourist areas would benefit most from racing.

Eyeing the revenue needs and the restriction of the 1978 session to matters pertaining to the budget, members of the committee are going ahead with plans to do a full report to the 1979 General Assembly.

But an interim report will be drawn up just in case the chance to get action in 1978 presents itselfeither because the subject could be considered budget related, or because lawmakers decide to permit other legislative matters.

NOBUTT

The big question now concerns money: just how much would racing produce in state revenue? There is no ready answer, but figures from other states are expected to produce a projected amount on which those involved could agree.

In the 30 states with racing last year, about $7.8 billion was bef. State governmaits pocketed better than $500 million.

Biglloney

Given those performance figures, it could be expected that North Carolina would

boost state income by more than $15 million annually.

Glenn T. Petty, horse specialist in the State Department of Agriculture, thinks this state a natural for racing. with excellent climate and location halfway between the Florida and Northern racing areas. There are about 80 harness breeders and more than 15 thoroughbred breeders in the state, and about 1,000 race horses winter in North Carolinaprimarily in the Sandhills, or in the area of Elizabeth City or Washington.

Early indications are that those on the study gnx^ like the proposed law already introduced. It tracks the law in Indiana and is based on a local option election, rigid control over owners or participants. strict operating dates, and limits as to numbers of tracks and locations.

Not more than a handful of tracks are envisioned in the state should operation become legal.

1978 Carter Resolution

By ROWLAND EVANS

and ROBERT NOVAK

WASHINGTON - Hopes inside the Carter administra-Mon for better things next year have been boosted by this word coming out of the Oval Office; Jimmy Carter wants to rid himself of as much detail as possible in the second year of his presidency.

That is an unpublicized New Years resolution both Carter cronies and key officials devoutly hq>e the President will not forget. The overflowing in-basket that has become the trademark of .his presidency not only means Mr. Carter may be devoting too much time to the wrong activity, it is also viewed inside the administration and on Capitol Hill as a source of positive harm. But bluntly, the President in solitary contemplation sometimes gets the wrong ideas about matters better left to the experts.

This remarkable fact tells much about bitter disappointments of the first Carter year felt by many of his sup

porters. Supremely confident of his own intellect, he has developed neither a top-notch White House staff nor a trusted kitchen cabinet of experienced counselors. This leaves no way to protect him from his own misinterpretation of the facts. Accordingly, his New Years resolution to step back from the deluge of details is welcome news in the administration.

When Carter intimate Charles Kirbo visited here from Georgia recently saying how much older his friend looked, he echoed a prevailing theme of Washington. While the conventional holiday wisdom of 1974 and 1975 was that President Ford ought to cancel his annual skiing vacation and get down to work, the conventional wisdom today is that President Carter ought to let up on his work and get down to play.

Actually, there is divided opinion in his official family about the seriousness of the Presidents workaholic affliction. Some officials point out. he is seldom at his desk much

after 5:30 p.m. and obviously enjoys weekends at Camp David. But others note that whenever and wherever Mr. Carter takes time off, he carries that ubiquitous file folder bulging with work and actually plunges into it.

What worries everybody, in addition to whether the President is working too hard, is whether he is doing the wrong work. Beginning with the economic stimulation package nearly a year ago, Mr. Carter has probed and scrutinized every program with intensive, solitary study. The procedure reflects his massive self-confidence and engineers belief that he can master any situation by himself.

The danger of this is best shown by tax reform. Entering the presidency with his campaign litany that the tax system is "a disgrace to the human race but with precious few details, he became immersed in a self-tau^t cram course on the Internal Revenue Code.

According to congressional tax experts, Mr. Carter got a few things wrong dangerously wrong. The decision to set aside comprehensive tax reform because of the needed quick tax cut next year saves him from most such mistakes. But insiders report that, as a self-educated tax expert, the President had checked the

wrong box too many times on the option sheets.

There are hordes of tax experts at the Treasury and in Congress whose advice the president could tap. But I ask you, one expert told us, who is going to stand up to the president, look him in the eye and tell him. Mr. President, youve got this stuff you studied all wrong?

Herein is reflected a de^r problem of the Carter presidency. His White House staff is regarded as grossly deficient in organization and partially deficient in high-caliber talent. With Kirbo and Bert Lance both in Georgia, there is no peer who can look the president in the^ye and tell him he is wrong.

Mr. Carter is not happy over the way his time has been allocated this year. He has expressed dissatisfaction with the endless meetings selling the Panama Canal treaties and is now signalling that he really would like to delegate deskwork in a more traditional way.

He has asked Vice President Mndale to establish priorities for next year. This time he is devoting a mere fraction of the days spent on the previous years economic review. Although he has studied the defense budget for unprecedented hours this is supposed to be a one-time

Strength For Today

COVETOUSNESS

It never pays to waste our time longing for something we cannot rightly have. To do so is to covet. The verb to covet comes from a Latin word meaning to desire ardently, but it is closely related to words jn other languages which mean to agitate. and to boil. Desiring something, therefore, which is not our own and which cannot rightly be our own, produces inward conflict and agitation.

The Bible defines covetousness as a sin. The tenth commandment says.

though Shalt not covet.

Yet not all desires for what we do not have are bad. When what we want truly benefits our welfare and the welfare of those around us, then wanting it is not covetousness. For example, to want an education {or ones self or ones children is not covetous, but to want a great personal fortune at any cost as a result of that education is indeed covetous. The question of covetousness, therefore, revolves about the nature of jithe things we want and the ^means we are prepared to use to get them.

Horse Race Idea Not Dead

By JAMES J. KILPATRICK

Constitutional Mark

Congressman Tom Hagedorn, a second-termer from the Second District of Minnesota, has just come up with the years niftiest idea for improving the quality of federal legislation. I kiww this is a nifty idea because I have been promoting this same idea off and on for nearly 30 years.

Hagedorn proposes to amend the rules of the House by adding a short paragraph to this effect;

The House shall not receive or consider any bill or resolution unless it contains a statement citingj^as precisely as possible, the article, section. paragraph, and clause, or amendment, of the Constitution of the United States which is the basis of authority for the bill or resolution.

Excellent! Splendid! If such a rule were adopted and enforced, it might accomplish more than any other restraint in curbing our rampant government. Hagedorn has this explanation;

In the Short time that I

have served in Congress. I have witnessed legislation being introduced which would regulate, promote or prohibit virtually every area of private human behavior.

"Among a few of the subjects which have been the focus of congressional legislation during that period have been spaying clinks, oyster producers, zoos, aquariums, home repairs, climate, scholastic sports, boxing, condominiums, seeds, military toys, the calendar, every disease and malady known to mankind, railroad depot art. local property taxes, ci^rettes. poet laureates. Agriculture Halls of Fame, fertility, pate de foie gras, blood donations, home garden tools, burglar prevention devices, sununer camps, the arts and humanities, school field trips, travel agents, automobile repairmen, drivers education, teachers sabbatkals, temporary employment services, brainwa^ing cults, urban trees and polygraphs.

Some of these areas may be

Other Editors Soy: In A Stranglehold

(JadcBOovflle Daily News)

Todays businessmaa under constant harassment as government continues to infringe on his freedom to operate as a free enterprise, is faced with new dilemmas today.

New wage-hour provisions, social security tax boosts, increased fe^ral unemployment tax rates and crackdowns on business expenses are placing superhuman obstacles in the path of free enterprise.

And out of this labyrinth of government regulations we can draw but one conclusion... the government is killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

Private enten1se can not continue to absorb all the socialistic schemes dreamed up by the bureaucrats in Washington. Neither business nor consumer can afford the huge demands of socialism.

Lets explore the increase in minimum wages. This is a prime example of enacted legislation which will boomerang into an adverse affect on the people for which it is intended. The fallacy in this thinking toward raising the standard of living for the lower income workers, is that it will mean loss of jobs.

The business community cant absorb this continued rise in labor costs, and in effort to reduce operation cost business will cut loose large portions of its marginal working class. This boils down to increased unemployment. Unemployment fw the very ones who need their jobs most.

This realistic appraisal demonstrates that regulations on minimum wages will ultimately throw more persons into the jobless arena when government regulations have already zoomed jobless benefits by a big 43 percent. This will come from the pockets of the fortunate who still h<4d jobs.

These workers will also be called tqxHi to pay the skyrocketing social security benefits, at better than 6 percent on every dollar by employer and employee alike.

Where does it all end? In chaos if government doesnt release its stranglehold of restrictions on American workers!

areas of valid federal interest; some may not be. Hagedorns point it is an old-fashioned point is that the federal government was created by the st^ as a government of linnted and enumerated powers. Congress has no legislative powers beyond those delegated to it by the Constitution.

It is this relationship between the national and the state governments, and the people, that this proposed rule is designed to highlight. The legislative initiatives that each of us in Congress have must be judged not simply on the basis of whether or not they are good ideas. but also on the basis of whether or not they are legitimate areas for federal invdvement. Not all good ideas meet this latter test.

If the Hagedorn Rule had been in effect in 1965, the sponsors of the Arts and Humanities Act might have been hardpressed to cite any article, section, paragraph or clause of the Constitution that ddegates power to Congress to appropriate public funds Ibc these pmjioses. They would have had to fall back on the power to provide for the general welfare, whkh in the old-fashioned Madisonian view is no substantive grant of power at all. If the general welfare clause were intended to grant unlimited powers to the Congress, the enumerated powers would be reduced to so much surplusage. Alexander Hamilton. Justice Story and Justice Roberts to the contrary notwithstanding, the Constitution never was intended to authorize Congress to enact whatever laws the Congress pleases to enact.

The last time 1 s(Hinded off on these themes, a law professor sent me a hoity-toity letter suggesting that newsmen should stick to the grubby business of the news, and leave constitutional construction to their betters. He read me the lecture on.the flexible Constitution and the living Constitution; he reminded me that if Mr. Jefferson had been a strict constructionist. we never would have consumated the Louisiana Purchase. He chided me for not comprehending that certain powers are inherent in the nature of all governments, and need not be spelled out particularly.

Beat All Odds And The IRS

ByJOHNCUNNIFF APBusinesg Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - Phil and Sue Long have won. They beat the odds, the cynics and the human susceptibility to anger and despair at injustice. 'They beat the Internal Revenue Service.

It took eight years. 'They did it in the courts, acting as their own attorneys; with newspaper advertising; with the sympathetic advice of experts in tax law who felt the IRS was unjustly punishing them.

Phil Long. 61. is a Bellevue, Wash., real estate man. His wife. Sue. 34, is a doctoral candidate at the University of Washington. On Dec. 2 they received word from the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, that they had won their battle.

It began in 1969. when the IRS declared the Longs really werent in the real estate

business but instead were operating a personal holding company, sometimes called an incorporated pocket-book. and owed back taxes of $42,000. The Longs were aghast.

Through two corpwations they were owners, managers or real estate contract holders of 47 duplex houses left to the Long family by his father, a builder and real estate man.

If they conceded that indeed they were operating a pocketbwk, attempting to hide personal expenses as costs of doing business, they would have to pay taxes at a rate of 70 per cent, a figure aimed at discouraging such ventures.

Phil Long had been paying himself $600 a month to manage the business. The IRS reduced his pay to $150. Long had been deducting his subscription to the Wall

Street Journal. Disallowed, said the IRS.

At one point the IRS threatened them with a jeopardy assessment in which it would have ad-nainistratively seized his assets without a court review, Cong said.

The Longs feit they had little choice but to fight, since their incwne was insufficient to pay taxes of the sort demanded. Most of the houses, which they were selling to tenants, were heavily nwrtgaged.

Long, greying and intense, took out an advertisement in the Washington Post, where IRS officials would be sure to see it, and in it he described his battle. By February 1975 he had run 13 ads.

Meanwhile, he and Sue attacked the IRS through the Freedom of Inormation Act. TTiey won a court ruling that opened sectkms of the IRS

internal procedures manual to the public.

In all. the Longs say they won eight freedom of in- j-formation suits against tl)r" IRS, that the IRS conceded bn another point and that two cases are pending. The jeopardy assessment activities of the IRS were all but ended by the Tax Reform Act of 1976.

They wrote letters to influential people. They took 18 trips to Washington to testify, seek information or to negotiate. They assimilated vast amounts of research material. They learned the law and the courts system.

In Tax Court they won a ruling that restored Phils monthly pay of $600. Eventually only one of the 33 IRS claims remained.

The Longs appealed the personal holding company designation to the U.S. Court (OoottanedoBpagBS)

Dungan, from Waynesboro, Va., earns $647 a month, or 1,-366 marks at Tuesday's rate. He pays 350 marks for his one-room apartment $154 last month, $166 now.

"More and more people are walking in here with no money and no food when its nowhere near the end of the month, said Dorothy Ogilvy-Lee, 35, a social worker at the American Community Services Center at Hanau.

There has been a sharp rise in social and all other kinds of problems such as child and spouse abuse, severe marital problems and an increased return of spouses to the United States.

Miss Lee said the number of emergency relief loans to military personnel in the Hanau area Jumped 38 percent this year.

Many servicemen are getting rid of their cars. But this means they have to take taxis or buses and pay the fare in (German currency to get to the commissary, which accepts dollars. Many must shop in (German stores, where prices are high.

of Appeals. In a 2-1 decision the court on Dec. 2 said the IRS was in error. Discriminatory enforcement, said one judge. Incorrect legal conclusion, said another.

Asked if she felt triumphant or Just relieved. Sue Long, who handled the oral arguments, replied; Just numb. She and her husband had spent between $20,000 and $30,000, she said, even though much legal advice was contributed without charge.

There was another expense, said Phil Long. During this time, he said, he was afraid to act in any other business way. A form' insurance man, I might have gone back into insurance, but this (the defense ) was just too big to do as a sideline.

if this had gone against us it would have taken everything, he said. It was tough to live with fear, he said, "but we didnt think it would take this long.

TTiere were anger and frustration, said Sue Long, but life went on; you cant let yourself be eaten up. And finally triumph.

operation. Most important, the President has informed key officials he wants to see less paper in his in-basket.

The prospect of President Carter spending less time in solitary contemplation cheers many officials. Looking further ahead, they would welcome more verbal give-and-take in the Oval Office and during increasin^y antiseptic cabinet meetings. But unfortunately that does not appear among his New Years resiriutions for 1978.

Greenville Police reported an estimated $2,050 property damage resulted from three collisions investigated here yesterday.

Florida Wants Young Actress

WILTON. Conn. (AP) - Florida officials are asking for the extradition of 18-year-(rfd movie and television actress Linda Blair, charged In connection with a nationwicte cocaine ring.

Miss Blair, best known for her role as the devil-possessed child In The Exorcist. Is free on bond after being charged Tuesday with conspiracy to buy or sell cocaine, on a fugitive warrant Issued in Jacksonville. Fla.

Peter Gruden, head of the federal Drug Enforcenient Administration In Connecticut, said the young actress was arrested at her leased Wilton home. She is a native of neighboring Westport where her parents live.

The Duval County. Fla., sheriffs office asked for her extradition.

Federal authorities in Florida said more than 30 people had been arrested in Jacksonville, including John and Lynn Scarborough, the son and daughter of Florida state Sen. Dan Scarborough. More arrests are expected.

Miss Blair was released on $2,500 bond in Stamford Common Pleas Court after her lawyer. Richard Gibbons of Westport. argued that she had no previous arrest record.

Local police also charged hn* with possession of a narcotic substance after a white substance was found In her possession. Miss Blair pleaded innocent to that charge. Her case was continued until Jan. 18.

Capt. John McCormick, a Jacksonville vice squad officer, alleged Miss Blair knew several people arrested in the drug bust and that drugs had been

delivered to her in New York last October by a Jacksonville resident.

McCormick also alleged Miss Blair made a drug contact that month while attending a funeral for members of the Lynyrd Skynyrd rock group killed in a plane crash in Mississippi.

Authorities estimated that the ring sold more than $1 million worth of cocaine In the last eight months. In addition, cocaine worth $1.5 million was

seized when two Houston men were arrested and charged with selling three pounds of the drug to agents at the Jacksonville airport.

New Roles For Women Soldiers

By FRED S. HOFFBfAN AP MDltaiy Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - In a major policy change, the Army is opening missile units and other combat support assignments to women soldiers.

The decision means women soldiers may be exposed to hostile fire in any future war.

However, the new policy will still bar women from serving in direct combat roles with the infantry, field artillery, tanks, combat engineers and similar front line units.

Women will even be posted to the Armys elite 82nd Airborne Division, which has been closed to them until now.

One major effect of the new policy will be to erase a longstanding rule that a woman soldier could not be sent any further forward than the rear of a brigade deployed for combat.

The action will open all but 16 of the Armys 377 military specialties to women officers and enlisted personnel.

is seeking legal authorization to allow women to serve aboard ships not expected to be in combat.

Army sources say the rules against combat exposure must be changed if the service is to fulfill demands that it enroll substantially larger numbers of women.

Current plans to nearly double the 46.(X)0 enlisted Army women over the next five years hinge to a considerable extent on this. Pentagon sources said.

Under the new policy, the sources said, women soldiers may be assigned to Hawk and Hercules anti-aircraft missile upits. ground-to-ground missile and rocket batteries such as those using the Lance bombardment weapon, helicopter companies and such other support outfits as signal, military police, transportation, maintenance and medical units which are required in battle zones to back up the front line fighters.

The women will be specifically excluded from flying heli-

The new policy is the latestcopters on attack or scouting

in a series of moves that have gradually widened opportunities for women in the armed forces since 1970.

The Army has always banned women from combat situations by rules and regulations. The assignment of Air Force. Navy and Marine women to combat is forbidden by law. The Navy

- missions, but they may fly the choppers in combat zones for other purposes.

The Army has been training its women soldiers in the use of rifles and other individual weapons for some time and has recently begun combining men and women in the same basic training battalions.

CRYSTAL GAYLE tries for different styles to be different than her faroous sister, country singer Loretta Lynn. (AP Laserphoto)

Brenda Settled On A New Name

By PETER J. BOYER Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A few years ago, an aspiring young country singer named Brenda Gail Webb sat in her Wabash, Ind., home, puzzling over the first big problem of her career she needed a name.

There was nothing really wrong with the one she had, but her big sister, already a country superstar, had wrangled a contract for Brenda Gail and the company already had a Brenda Brenda Lee.

They puzzled and puzzled until finally Big Sis thought of the string of all-night hamburger joints in the South, little square-shaped places called Krystal that served Uttle square-shaped hamburgers for a dime. Thus Br^a Gail, Loretta Lynns kid sister, becqme Crystal Gayle, the first known singer named after an all-night hamburger chain.

That was 1971, when lady c(Hintry stars like big sister Loretta still twanged perceptibly and wore beehive hairdos, and a little com went a long way in Nashville. Being named after a famous burger joint like Krystal couldnt hurt the kid.

But'things changed. Singers like Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Dolly Parton showed the rest of the world you didnt have to go barefoot to like country music, and the art became respectable.

And Crystal Gayle quickly demonstrated that she had more than a big sister and a famous name she could sing. Within a couple of years she was ail over the country charts, getting a No. 1 hit with Ill Get Over You and finally being named Outstanding Female Vocalist last October. Whats more, she had crossover appeal.

Crystals sultry, bluesy, lament Dont It Make My Brown Eyes Blue found its way to pop audiences, and its now a top hit. Crystal seems likely to be reaping the best of both worlds, country and pop.

Ive always wanted to appeal to more people than just country, to sell more records, Crystal said, displaying none of that Butcher Holler, Ky., twang thats become her sisters trademark. I thought this song (Brown Eyes) had a chance to cross over, but thats not why I recorded it. 1 just liked the song.

Crystal, in town for a television rock show, said her ability to sing pqp-rock stems from a childhood away from the coal mines of Kentucky, where Loretta learned to whine so pretty. Her family moved from Butcher Holler when she was a child, and she grew up in Indiana.

I have a different style from Loretta because she grew up in the country and I grew up in a town. We had two totally different kinds of backgrounds.

Notes Safety Checks In N.C.

m flt\raia iirM^n

WILMINGTON. N C, (AP) North Carolina is "among the few states that have effective dam inspection and safety programs." says Col .Adolph A. Hight of the Army Corps of Engineers' Wilmington district of

fice.

President Carter has ordered the corps to help all states over the next four years to inspect dams, with an eye toward preventing a reenactment of the recent Toccoa Falls dam dis

aster in Georgia.

Hight said the corps had completed an inventory of larger dams in 1974 and inspections had been in "full swing since then.

The corps inventory . under

taken upon passage of the 1972 National Dam Inspection Act, covered those dams in North Carolina with a height of 25 feel or more and a storage capacity of at least 50 acre-feet of water. Hight said. The state

has al.so inspc^ted other dams that might cause downstream damage The stale has inspected 2,000 dams and directed that 200 of them be repaired or removed. Those inspected included all 1,-200 dams inventoried by the corps, including 104 with a high damage potential and 103 others that might also cause loss

of life and property.

Hight said the corps probably will concentrate on performing hydraulic studies and enabling the state to augment its inspection force. Of some $15 million allocated for a national program in the 1978 fiscal year. S2.57.fKK) is to be spent in North Carolina.

Charles Gardner, chief of the

states land quality section, said most of the inspection work will be done by private engineering firms which he said can better handle the detailed dam studies.

The corps assistance was welcomed by Secretary Howard I>ee of the state Department of Natural Resources and Community Developmqpt. He said it

would allow more in-depth inspections during the next year of dams in the slate with the highest hazard potential."

"These funds will help close some important gaps in our program but we still have a long way to go in filling out the state program before we can feel confident about the safety of dams in North Carolina.

Big Season For Flower Lady

Greenvitl* Square Sbopping Center Hours: AAonday-Saturday 10 A.AA.-9 P.M.

..4

By MONTE PLOTT

Associated Ptms Writer

SHELBY, N.C. (AP) - The gray-haired lady stands in a sea of shimmering red poin-settias.

In her good cloth coat, black-rimmed glasses and quiet black shoes, she looks for all the world like the grandmotherly spirit of Christmas. But then she speaks.

I dont ever plan to retire. I say I want to die with my boots on. Thats the only way to go.

Mrs. Edna Patterson grins. She runs this place.

I always said my husband married me because I was a businessman, not because I liked flowers.

She watches as workmen carry out some of the 113,000 poin-settias that her business will sell this Christmas season.

Fifty years ago, Mrs. Patterson and her husband, U.L., came up the pike from the South Carolina and, armed with $711, started a flower business in a 50-foot greenhouse.

My husband was really and truly a grower at heart. He felt like this place had a good climate, she says.

Now, you drive into this Western North Carolina town and you notice Patterson green

houses on this side of the road, and another bunch over there on the other side - cavernous greenhouses that have sprung up like mushrooms.

Since her husband died two years ago, Mrs. Patterson, with help from her family, has run Patterson Flowers Inc., distributing various plants and blooms throughout seven states and to 1,400 retail florists.

It is by no means a nine-to-five, weekends off job.

Ive done some of about everything here, but the office end of it is my love. She waves toward the sea of red poinsettias.

1 didnt grow this stuff, she grins. I just love the business.

How old is this woman who could probably outwork and outsell most men?

I dont tell anybody my age. My gravestone doesnt even have it on it, and when I die. some folks around here are going to be surprised.

But she admits that she was married in 1923. Her eldest son and business partner, U.L. Patterson Jr., is 50.

She has been in the business since her marriage. And she has changed with the times.

There was really no whole

sale business then to rely on We started on faith. she says.

And we did it by degrees. We put everything we made back into the business.

Mrs. Patterson, her children, grandchildren and an extra relative or two command a business of 55 greenhouses, a fleet of trucks and a crew of expert flower growers.

You wont see anyone watering the thousands of plants here. Its done electronically. And with the push of a button, black drapes the size of football fields creep across the roof to turn day into night and slow down the growth of plants.

Out of the soft light that filters through these greenhouses come each year over half a million chrysanthemums, hundreds of thousands of other plants and poinsettias.

Weve been shipping them since Nov. 22, U.L. Patterson Jr. says of the traditional Christmas plants. On a recent day, workmen loaded trucks from the red, white and pink poinsettias that coyered the %,-000 square feet of one greenhouse.

We started these poinsettias in May. You come in here New Years Day and you wont recognize the place well have

something else in here, Patterson says.

It is a far cry from the 1,200-square-foot greenhouse that Mrs. Patterson and her husband started out in.

The operation is one of the largest of its kind in the Southeast getting bigger all the time, Mrs. Patterson declares.

Mrs. Patterson likes the chrysanthemums and roses, even the poinsettias, well enough, but none of them is her favorite.

T like the rhododendron, mountain laurel and azaleas the things that grow wild up in the mountains. she says.

Conley Eases Past North Pitt, 54-49

By JDfKYLE Reflector Sports Writer

HOLLYWOOD - North Pitts hustle helped the Panthers to throw a scare into D. H. Conley last night, but the Vikings rebounding advantage and some costly Panther turnovers late in the game, enabled Conley to take a 54-49 victory.

The win completed a three-

game sweep for the home teams as the Baby Vikings won the junior varsity contest, 64-58, and the Valkyries defeated the P,^ HERS, 49-36. /

The fans should have a^ed for their money back, an unhappy Shelly Marsh said after the game. The Conley coach was obviously dissatisfied with his teams play.

"We just stupk up the place and North Pitt played a good ballgame. It was evident that North Pitt stuck to its game plan and we got completely away from our game plan. My players became uncoachable. I also think we are out of shape. The Vikings jumped out to a 10-point lead in the opening minutes of the game, but North Pitt battled back and cut the margin to four at the end of the high-scoring first period.

"They (the Vikings) just quit. Marsh said. North Pitt didnt do anything to stop our momentum at that point; we stopped ourselves. Then North Pitt gained the momentum. They are a well-coached team. Very little of Conleys play pleased Marsh. I cant think of anything we did well, consistently. But we did consistently make violations and our defensive lapses were consistent The first such lapse came

after Darryl Thompson made a layup with just over two and a half minutes gone in the game to give the Vikes a 12-2 lead.

Led by Reginald Kni^t, the Panthers began to hit their shots and managed to cut the lead to 24-20 on Darrell Smiths follow shot with three seconds left in the period.

A low-scoring second quarter followed the wide-open first period, but the Vikings con- tinued to hit on some good driv

ing layups to stretch their lead back out to ten, 34-24, with 1:10 remaining in the half.

In the last 38 seconds of the half, however, the Panthers scored three points to cut the margin to seven at intermission.

North Pitt pulled to within three early in the second half when Lawaskia Jenkins hit two from close range and Reginald Knight connected from the right baseline.

Panthers Win On Forfeits

ByW(X)DYPEELE Reflector Sports EdihMT

Charles Adams, assistant director of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, talked on the history of the group to the Greenville Sports Club yesterday.

Adams also said later that the national high school group, to which the state is aligned, is considering a national basketball championship in the near future, and the repeal of the encroachment rule in football.

The East Carolina University graduate said that he will attend a meeting of the national federation later this month on the West Coast, and a national basketball championship would be one of the topics for discussion.

A lot remains to be worked out, he said. We have to work out some way for states like ours with various classifications to come up with a state champion. Each of the 50 states, he noted, would pick a champion to send to regional competition. Eight regional champions would then be picked to send to the national tournament.

The encroachment rule in football calls for an automatic penalty when either team breaks the plane of the ball prior to the snap, whether contact is made or not. This rule has been extremely unpopular with fans, media, and players and coaches. It was put in to cut down on the defense trying to draw the offense off-sides with stunts, Adams said.

Adams did not know how widespread the unhappiness across the country is, but he felt that there would certainly be well-reviewed.

Adams also noted that the current five-year playoff plan for the state runs out this year and that a new plan would be drawn up during the year. There have been reports that smaller 4-A conferences, such as Division I might lose their alternating number two berth to one of the larger leagues, which would take it over on a permanent basis.

The official, however, said he did not think this would happen, 1 cant see penalizing a conference because of its size. 'The conference cant help if there are no more 4-A in their area. I would doubt that such a thing would be approved. Adams said.

He also rported that Williamston football coach Dink Mills would have no further restrictions place on him by the NCHSAA. Mills, who reinserted a player into a game against Bertie after the player had been ejected, issued an official apology after the incident, and was placed on probation by his school. 'The game, which had been won by Williamston, was declared a forfeit to Bertie by school officials.

"We feel that the action taken by Williamston is sufficient, Adams said. The (Northeastern) Conference is satisfied with the schools action, and so is Bertie.

During his talk. Adams pointed out that the NCHSAA was started as an extension program of the University of North Carolina in 1913. It became independent in 1946, but still maintains its offices on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill.

The association currently has 352 member schools in the state, certifying nearly 80,000 boys and girls for eligibility. It sponsors 10 sports for boys and seven for girls.

The group also certifies officials as well as recruiting and training them, and since 1956 has grown from 628 to over 4,000 officials.

Membership in the state association, as well as the national association, is open to all public and private schools, which are non-boarding. We have only three non-public schools in our

association at this time, he added.

The next meeting of the Sports Club will be held on January 3, with the speaker to be announced later.

made it 40-24 with 4:29 on the clock, but Jenkins scored three more baskets in the quarter and William Knight hit from the left corner with three seconds showing to pull the Panthers to within one, 46-45.

The fourth quarter was another low-scoring affair, highlighted by ten turnovers, five by each team. The Vikings 7-3 rebounding margin enabled them to stay ahead, however, despite the losses of possession.

With a chance to cut the lead to just one point late in the game. North Pitt committed three straight turnovers and A1 Tyson followed his own shot with 27 seconds on the clock to ice the win for the Vikings, 54-49.

Jenkins led all scorers with 16 points, while Conley had three players in double figures. Little with 14 and Ricky Rountree and Tyson with 12.'

The teams shot very evenly; North Pitt hit 46.0 per cent of its shots to 45.6 per cent for Conley. But the Vikings 39-25 rebounding advantage allowed them to take seven more shots.

In the girls game, the Valkyries led the entire way in defeating the Pant-HERS, 49-36.

Conley was ahead 10-8 at the end of the first quarter and extended that lead to 23-13 at halftime. The third quarter saw the Valkyries add to their margin and they held a 37-18 advantage at the end of that period.

Despite an attempt at a rally by the Pant- HERS in the games

final period, Conley coasted in on its lead.

Annie Hardie scored 14 points and Annie Wooten 10 for the winners. while none of the North Pitt players had more than seven points.

With the victories, both Conley teams are now 5-1 on the season. They will play again tomorrow night when they host West Edgecombe. The Panthers are now 3-5, while the Pant-HERS are 1-5. North Pitts boys will participate in the Rose Holiday Tournament, along with Conley and Farmville Central, next Wednesday and Thursday nights.

BETHEL North Pitt won only two of the bouts that were actually wrestled, while Southern Nash won four, but the Panthers had a 5-2 margin in the seven matches that were forfeited and defeated the Firebirds, 42-36, last night.

Not one of the 13 weight classes was won by decision, all were either pins or forfeits. The Panthers got forfeit wins from John Simpson at 105, Tim Andrews at 112, Tim Perkins at 119, Bubba Smith at 138 and Danny Shaw at 145. North Pitts pins were by Mike Manning at 155 and Ricky Stokes at 185.

Swimmers Set Higher Goals

By WOODY PEELE Reflector SportsEdttor

Beating the University of North Carolina, an arch-rival, will no doubt be the highlight of the 1977-78 swimming season for East Carolina University, but Coach Ray Scharf says that it is not the whole season.

"We set some goals at the start of the season. Scharf said, "and in the Carolina win, we accomplished a lot of them. I was really am^r&l at some of the times'Wnad. So this gives us the m^CTtive to set some new, higher goals.

"Earlier. I was not as optimistic as I am now with our tough schedule, the coach said. "We still have a lot of tough competition and we cant afford to rest on our laurels. I just dont think these kids are the type who will led down.

The Pirates dont have another meet until mid-January, and tpe long layoff could cause some problems. However, the Bucs travel to Florida right after Christmas for a strong workout schedule.

Scharf said he doesnt really expect to see better times until much later in the season. Weve already qualified two times for the nationals, and 1 think we have a good chance to

place some people this year. Beating Carolina build up our morale and ego. Were not the little guys' anymore. Carolina swam well and we still beat them."

The two qualifiers include one individual and one relay team. John McCauley has qualified in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.78 seconds. The 400-yard freestyle team of McCauley. Billy Thome. John Tudor and Bill Fehling qualified with a time of 3:04.8.

McCauleys time should put him among the top six or eight in the country right now, and the relay teams time may be as high as third, Scharf said. But he emphasised that those times will probably not hold up across the country later in the season.

"It'll still help us to have some people ranked. Scharf said. Its a big psychological boost

The Pirates have no patsy schedule this year. Richmond looms as perhaps the easiest team, but will be no pushover. Others include Maine and Maryland, an improved Duke team. Louisiana State, and then nationally ranked N.C. State and Alabama.

Well need a much better effort for State and Alabama than

we got for Carolina. Scharf said.

The biggest problem faced by the Pirates in dual meets is the lack of depth in the strokes (npn-freestyle events). Diving is also not that strong. In the frees, we can swim with anyone in the country. Scharf said.

McCauley naturally, leads in the 50-yard freestyle, but hell be

helped by Thorne, who already has a 21 9, Fehling with a 21.7, and Ross Bohlken with a 21.9.

The U)0-yard freestyle will also feature McCauley, along with Thome, Bohlken and Fehling

Thome beat out Ted Nieman in the 200 freestyle against Carolina, and the two are expected to put up a fierce battle

Las Vegas Wins In A Squeeker

^ llie Awodated Praa

Ninth-ranked Nevada-Las Vegas needed a three-point play by reserve forward Gerald Sims with 44 seconds remaining to escape Northwesterns upset bid in the opening round of the Rebel Roundi^) cdlege basketball tournament.

Trailing by as much as 14 points in the first half Tuesday night, the Rebels overcame a 37-point effort by Northwesterns Tony Allen to run its record to 10-0 and post its 68th consecutive home^nurt victory. Tony Smith had 26 points for the Rebels while Reggie Theus added 22.

"We fought all the way coming back, said Rebels Coach Jerry Tarkanian. They forced us into too many early turnovers. But we came back and played our style of basketball.

Ronnie Lester scored 21 points and handed out 11 assists as Iowa defeated Tennessee 92-86 in the first game of the four-team tourney at Las Vegas.

The only member of The Associated Press Top Twenty to stumble was iTth-ranked Utah, which fell to Weber State 71-61. Four players, led by Ben Howlands 17 points, scored in double figures for Weber, now 6-1.

No. 18 Alabama came from behind to nip Princeton 61-60 in the Indiana Classic. Host Indiana captured the opener, defeating Itowling Green 89-52.

Sophomore guard Kent Lon-ney scored 18 points to pace Alabama. But it was two free throws by Reginald King with 1:43 remaining that gave the Crimson Tide the lead and a two-pointer by guard Anthony Murray with 50 seconds left to seal the victory.

Mike Woodson tallied 31 points to lead Indiana to its victory. The Hoosiers jumped out -to a 15-2 advantage and were in command the rest of the way.

A balanced Kansas attack, led by forward John Douglass

15 points, led the I6th-ranked Jayhawks to a 91-73 rout of Oral Roberts. Unbeaten Holy Cross, ranked 13th, breezed to a 101-72 victory over Harvard behind a 22-point performance by Ronnie Perry.

Center Dawan Scott, a junior college transfer, scored 47 points to lead Seton Hall to a 101-94 victory over California State-Bakersfield. Scott hit 16 of 21 shots from the floor and -15 of 21 free throws.

A 34-point performance by Andrew Toney led Southwestern Louisiana to a 94-87 victory over Creighton. Old Dominion, behind sophomore forward Ronnie Valentines 44 points, outlasted Tulane 116-99.

Duquesne downed Penn State 63-55 behind Barron Flenorys 19 points in a game marred by a second-half slugfest. Penn States Frank Brickowski had his nose bloodied and Du-quesnes Rich Cotton and Jessie Hubbard and Penn States Walter Young were ejected from the game.

Guards Rob Hoak, Rick Swing and Randy Nesbit combined for 48 points to lead Citadel to a 79-72 victory over Ca-nisius and Colon Abraham sparked a second-half surge as Clemson rallied to down Catholic University 82-58 in the Palmetto Classic.

here, along with John Tudor.

Nieman. Tudor. Doug Brindley and freshman Kevin Meisel are expected to be the strongest in the 500 freestyle.

Meisel has already broken the varsity record by four seconds in the 1.000. and will lead here. Nieman. and Brindley also are tough in this event,

In the butterfly, the Pirates have lost one of their top men, who dropped out of school. Mark Lovette has the best time so far, while Ron Schnell and freshman Joe Murtagh look strong.

Tudor holds the varsity record in the backstroke, and will get help from David Moody. Barry McCarthy and Brian Bolton.

Dan Newhaller is the top man at this time in the breaststroke, followed by Bob Skurla.

Tudor is the top man in the individual medley, with Newhaller and Nieman also adding help here.

Tom Bell, a freshman who was a high school All-American in diving, leads that event. Scharf notes, however, that he still ' needs experience and work to reach his potential. Lund Sox rounds out the divers.

We have a good chance to qualify our 800 yard freestyle relay also, along with a number of individuals. Scharf sees the possibility of two qualifying the in 100, two in the 200. two or three in the 500, two in the 1,000, and two in the 50 among the freestylers. Perhaps one medley man could also qualify.

"Beating North Carolina was a great start for us. but we cant let that be our season. We have some strong competition ahead.

The thing that tickles me to death about the whole thing is that weve been able to do what we have with just a fraction of the budget that schools like Carolina or State have.

"Just think. Scharf said, "what we could do with more.

Jaguars Top Firebirds In Double Overtime

SPRING HOPE - Calvin Horne and James Tyson each scored four points in the second overtime to lead Farmville Central past Southern Nash. 65-60, last night.

The Jaguars trailed for much of the game, but a shot by Tyson and a free throw by Donald Freeman with 2:14 remaining in regulation play tied it up at 53-53. The Firebirds then stalled for the final shot, but missed an 18-footer with three seowids left.

The first overtime saw

Southern Nash get the tip and hold the ball for just one shot. Then, with 41 seconds left, Farmville picked off an errant Firebird pass, but missed on a last-second field goal attempt.

Defeat To Hurt A Long Time sta*e, ciemson Meet

MEMPHIS. Tenn. (AP) -This ones ^ing to hurt for a long time, said All-America defensive tackle Dee Hardison, reflecting on Carolinas Liberty Bowl loss to Nebraska Monday night.

We thought we had it. In the huddle, it just felt so good.

Then all of sudden It just slipped away, he said.

For Hardison, quarterback Matt Kupec and the others the real disappointment wasnt just that they lost but that they lost after coming so close to winning.

I wasnt overconfident. Ku

pec insisted. But when we were ahead 17-7 and I thought we were going up 24-7, it looked like we were headed for a good victory. But thats when I threw the interception and that changed everything.

In addition to the interception that seemed to be the turning

point in the game, Kupec fumbled twice. He tried to take the blame for the loss, although it seems only fair to note that without his outstanding play earlier, the Tar Heels would not likely have been in a position to win.

As it was, the Comhuskers

Making a good bourbon takes time. Making a great bourbon takes extra time. Time spent in charred oak barrels that imparts extra bouquet, mellowness and flavor.

Some bourbons are aged longer than others. Only a few like Ancient Ancient Age are in the barrel a full ten years.

The extra years change Ancient Ancient Age from a good bourbon to a great one.

scored twice in the last period and won 21-17.

The first three quarters were his best game ever and he was named the games most valuable player and the UNC offensive player of the game.

We came close, he said, but thats not good enough. 1 had been dreaming of an offensive battle, but I had anticipated a defensive battle. It was a little of both, I guess, but not enough. We moved the ball, but we just didn't put enough points on the board.

There was some small consolation in the praise after the game of Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne.

This team and Oklahoma were the best defensive teams weve played all year, he said. That tackle (Hardison) is as good as Ive ever seen. I think North Carolina could play in the Big Eight...

In Women's Semifinals

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -The Wolfpack of North Carolina State meets Ciemson tonight in the semifinals of the Carolina Christmas Classic womens basketball tournament.

Cristy Earnhardts two free throws with 6:10 remaining gave North Carolina State the lead, as the Wolfpack held off scrappy South Carolina, 75-73, Tuesday night.

Ciemson beat Mercer 109-66 in an earlier first round game.

In other first round action. North Carolina held back Virginia 81-58 and High Point nipped the College of Charleston 80-79.

South Carolina posted a 40-39 halftime lead, after being out-scored 13-1 in the opening minutes. The Gamecocks regrouped after 15 minutes and outscored North Carolina 12-4.

South Carolina closed the gap

to 73-71 in the final minute, before North Carolina freshman guard Beth Fielding hit two free throws with seven seconds left. South Carolinas Sue Shoe hit a field goal as the buzzer sounded for the final score.

High scorers for State were Genia Beasley with 20 and Earnhardt with 11. Katrina Anderson led South Carolina scoring with 24, while Betsy Platte added 16.

"We obviously felt we didnt play our best game, said Coach Kay Yow, whose Wolfpack is considered by some as the top womens college basketball team in the nation. They played well inside, outside. They were very agressive.

Clemsons Donna Forrester and Gretchen Becker poured in 19 points apiece to power the Tigers to victory.

Ciemson took a 57-32 halftlme lead over Mercer. The Tigers total of 109 set a new record for the tournament.

Linda Matthews led North Carolina in a first half scoring spree against Virginia that gave the Tar Heels a fast start.

The Tar Heels jumped to an early lead, at one point out-scoring Virginia 21-1. Matthews led Carolina with 22 points and Cathy Shoemaker added 14.

Marie Riley shot two free throws with 20 seconds left to give High Point a three point lead. Charlestons Nessie Harris made a last second basket to close the gap as the game ended.

Andreia Blanchard and guard Ethel White led High Point with 16 points apiece. High scorer for Charleston was Debbie Bouknight with 22.

Special Help For High Risk Babies

By CHARLES CHAIiBERLAIN Associated Press Writer

PARK RIDGE. 111. (AP) -Dorothy weighs 2 pounds. 4 ounces. Her parents have placed a card on her incubator showing a tree and reading: That Which Grows Slow. Endures,

Dorothy has been in the high-risk nursery' of Lutheran General Hospital since Nov. 4 with a nutritional problem.

Her parents pray that Dorothy will be allowed to go home soon.

Some other parents just pray their babies will survive. Many infants will be in high-risk for weeks, maybe months more.

The nursery is festooned with Christmas cards and drawings of St. Nick. Hanging from many incubators or isdettes are little, knit stockings. Inside, the babies are constantly monitored by the most modem technical equipment available.

Mothers are encouraged to come in at any time, pick up their babies, or touch them, or cuddle them in a rocking chair. Some of the infants, however, can just be looked at their conditions too unstable to permit them to be held.

The survival rate is 85 percent to 90 percCTt, said Dr. Henry Mangurten. director. He has a staff of six physicians and 35 nurses. It is a unit of love, understanding and sensitivity, not only for the infants they strive to save but for the parents as well.

In the old days, little ones bom with severe probiems were left alone and survival was almost nil, said Manuten. Now we want to get the parents with the babies as soon as possible. We want them to touch them, fondle them.

These parents are under extreme degrees of stress, guilt and frustration and must be approached in a special, compassionate manner, he said. The total care of the high-risk newborn also includes the care of his parents, with special attention to their emotional needs.

Sometimes, attendants know there is almost no chance of survival.

Monitoring wires, oxygen tubes and feeding tubes all but hide the form of an infant boy-bom 15 to 16 weeks prematurely. A quarter would cover his hand. It will be touch-and-go to save him.

He weighs 1 pound 9 ounces and is the smallest baby weve had, said Mangurten. He hasnt been named by the parents yet.

The little one has become the talk of the nursery, now that Bradley Hawks has been transferred to ai^ther high-risk facility in Springfield to be

near his parents who moved there in September. Bradley had been in the nursery five months with a severe lung problem. His bill was $63,000, and he may have months of treatment still to come, said Mangurten.

The longest any baby was here was seven months. he said. She had severe bowel complications that required four or five operations and could not tolerate feeding. Her life slipped away. The longest weve had a baby who survived was six months.

We have had four sets of triplets and more than 100 sets of twins," Mangurten said. One set of twins was preemies with hyaline membrane disease (a critical lung disorder) and required surgery. One twin was released in three months and the other in five months. Their bill was $120,000.

The nursery has an average

of 22 infants at a time, and from 25 to 30 new arrivals a month. Some babies are brought in by specially equipped ambulances from hospitals as far as 75 miles away.

The avejage daily cost in the high-risk facility is $295, and ranges up to $450.

Hospital officials said the cost of caring for high-risk babies usually is covered, at least in part, by insurance. There also is a state funded program for such expenses. Financial counselors evaluate each case on the basis of a familys ability to pay.

We had a baby boy for 3/i months who presented our most complicated case. said Mangurten. "He had membrane disease, blockage of the esophagus (food pipe) and blockage of the rectum, and required a respirator. He had four operations. He survived and is 3'-> years old now.

Newspapers Of December, 1827 Reflect A Change

^ Dr. H.G. JONES, Ctarttor

North CaroUns OoUectkn

CHAPEL HILL, N. C. (AP) The extwjt to which Christmas has become commercially in the aoth Century is graphically shown by a comparison with the newspapers of December, 1827, and those of today.

The readers of newspapers a century and a half ago were hardly reminded that there was a holiday on Dec. 2S. In fact, the Fayetteville branch of the Bank of the United States felt obliged to run an advertisement in the Observer to inform the public that it would be closed Christmas day.

The virtual absence of reference to the season in the newspapers suggests that Christmas to most North Carolinians was just another work day. Most churches appear to have com-menwrated the birth of Christ

on the Sunday preceding Dec. 25.

Especially suiprising to a modem reader is the absence of the mention of Christmas gifts in advertisements. If Christmas giving was practiced, merchants declined to exploit it through their announcements.

If a ramble through the papers of December, 1827, failed to confirm the celebration of Christmas, it nevertheless turned ig> useful historical Information.

At Fayetteville, the Lafayette Hotel proudly announced that its rooms were furnished with single beds, fireplaces, and bells, and that, furthermore, each bed was surrounded by & mosquito net to keep out insects.

It added, Bathing Rooms are attached to the house, sup

plied with water from the Hay-mount Aqueduct.

The newest feature of the hotel, though, was a subscription Reading Room. Town residents could use the library for $5 a year, though strangers were admitted free.

Evidence of the fallacy of modem claims that slaves were not permitted to live as man and wife was tfven by the Observers editor who advertised that a man and his wife, the former accustomed to waiting about house and store, the woman, a first rate cook . . with their two children of the ages of 14 and 6 years, will be sold on a reasonable credit for good security.

In the Raleigh Register, the trustees of the University of North Carolina published the dress code for students.

The summer dress was a Coatee in color of a grey mix-

tue and a Waistcoat and trousers of white. In winter, grey trousers were to be substituted. Wrote the trustees. . . . it is recommended to the students to consult plainness, economy, and neatness in every part of their appearance.

A controversy over whether Lord Cornwallis ever called Charlotte a hornets nest may have been answered by the Catawba Journal of Christmas day, 1827.

The paper asserted that Cornwallis. iflxm retiring from Charlotte declared that he left this cursed hornets nest to their own destruction that they were a nondescript of the hu-num race neither to be con-cilliated by favours, diverted from their absurd object by strategum, nor awed to submission of f)ower.

A footnote added. This dec-. laratkm was made in presence

of John Patterson, better known by the appelation of Old Master Patterson, who took protection, the better to communicate information to Gen. Davidson and Majm- Davie, through whom every excursion and every movement of Cornwallis was immediately conveyed to them.

In the same paper, James Rogers offered only a five-cent reward for the return of Isaac Sinsang, a boy apprenticed to him by the court. Sinsang was described as 19 years old, with brown hair and a downcast look.

A $15 reward, however, was offered for the return of a noia-way slave.

William Love and Joseph Kirk, charged with Negro Stealing, had escaped from the Chatham County jail. Love was described as having with

him his wife, a good looking dark skin woman.

Kirk was tall and well made, plays with the fiddle, and is fond of spirits. Both

men were called notorious villains.

At Raleigh, Meritt Dilliard advertised that his stage coach between Raleigh and New Bern

made the trip in two days at eight cents per mile, stopping overnight at the best public houses between the two places.

Anti-Negatism Policy Stirs A Storm

By CHARLES CAMPBELL Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE. Tenn. (AP -After a year of thought. Gov. Ray Blanton has a suggestion for all elected officials who be-lieve'fhe evil they do lives on in news reports, while the good is oft interred and unreported.

The 47-year-old Democrat has laid down the law to the state-house press corps: ' Unless you've reported the positive side of an issue, dont ask me a negative question because 1 don't intend to answer it."

During the past year. Blanton had an opportunity to read about the prosecution and acquittal of a member of his cabinet charged with conspiring to defraud the state, about his own promise to pardon a political buddys son convicted of two murders and about the indictment of an aide accused of offering a bribe to stop the extradition of a relative.

Over the weekend, as the anti-negativism campaign was

taking form, the states largest newspaper began a series on the governors expenses incurred while traveling.

The Commercial Appeal, Memphis nioming paper, reported Blanton spent more than $12.000 on limousines and more than $4,000 for hotel suites in Washington during the past 30 months.

As the series continued, the newspaper reported Blanton spent freely on an industry-hunting trip to Tokyo and ran up $300 in state telephone bills calling a Washington woman 32 times at her home and at the job his office helped her obtain

In late November he and some friends took the states l^ear jet to Jamaica for a week. On his return, Blanton said he would not reimburse the state for the flight because he had conducted business discussions of soybean exports on the island.

State Transportation Commissioner Eddie Shaw was ac

quitted Dec. 10 ii conspiracy to bilk Tennessee by selling surplus state cars at bargain prices 1o dealers who paid kickbacks. Blanton suspended Shaw-last year when he became the first indicted cabinet member in two decades, but promptly reinstated him. Shaws signature was needed on contracts.

In September there was debate about whether favorable treatment was given Roger Humphreys, a murderer whose father supervised distribution of patronage jobs in an East Tennessee county. Soon after his imprisonment. Humphreys became a trusty and a state photographer, allowed to drive alone to assignments in a state car.

In an interview televised live Sept. 15. Blanton called reporters stupid for their coverage of the affair and promised he would pardon Humphreys. A citizens committee, appointed by Blanton, last week recommended against that. Blanton

said Monday he will not grant a pardon immediately, but may before he leaves office.Senator Weighs Panama Visit

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Senate Miniority Leader Howard Baker is considering a trip to Panama sometime between Christmas and Jan. 19.

Pat Welch, who works in Bakers Washington office, said Tuesday that Panamas ambassador last week personally delivered an invitation from Panamas leader, Gen. Omar Torrijos. Baker said the trip would permit a valuable firsthand appraisal of the evidence for and against the Panama Canal treaties.

If I do go, that does not signal a decision," Baker said in a statement. 1 do not intend to go down there and negotiate a treaty of my own.

After a hearing officer in the Secretary of State's office said in April that Charles Benson, aide to Blantons legal counsel, offered a $300 bribe to stop an extradition. Benson was suspended. investigated, reinstated and indicted by the state.

And some members of the media showed with the governors campaign against negativism that they werent taking the matter lightly.

The Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Sigma Delta Chi. released a statement Tuesday calling the governors statement ludicrous.

On its face, this statement by the governor is ludicrous to the point that it falls of its own weight and perhaps requires no adversary comment. Yet, the fact Gov. BISnton is the highest ranking official of the state, and since he has formally requested other government officials even the president of the United States to follow

his precedent, indicates that a comment is in order from an organization of members of the news media, the journalists organization said in a prepared release.

The organization said it believes Blantons attitude and intentions are not in line with his obligations as the states elected chief executive, and it urged Blanton to adopt what it called a more temperate approach.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Republican Party in Tennessee, Tom Beasley, called the statements by Blanton who. is a Democrat a blatant example of arrogance and disregard for Tennesseans.

The governors recent statements introduce an era of the worst sort of censorship and suppression of the news media since Watergate. Beasley said in a prepared statement. He apparently believes he is so all-powerful that he can disregard basic American freedom of the press.

Blanton Contradicted By The Official Record

MEMPHIS. Tenn, (AP) -State records contradict Gov. Ray Blantons recollection of who paid for his trip to a road-buildiers cmivention in Puerto Rico last February, a Memphis newspaper reported today.

The Commercial Appeal, a morning daily, made the disclosure in the fourth and final installment of a copyrighted series about the governors travel and spending habits. The newspaper said state documents reflect that the taxpayers bore the $3,200 cost of flying him and three guests to Puerto Rico last February.

The Tennessee Roadbuilders Association conducted its annual meeting in San Juan in February.

The article included a partial transcript of Blantons Dec. 5 news conference in which he said he did not take the states Lear jet to Puerto Rico and

that the trip was not charged to the state.

Jim Gilchrist. Blantons assistant press secretary, said Tuesday night he could make no comment about the article until he had a chance to check the records.

"I dont know how the expenses for that trip were handled and I dont think the governor himself knows. Gilchrist said in a telephone interview. "You know, that was several months ago and the governor cant remember every little detail.

The article, written by The Commercial Appeals political writer, A.B. Albritton and reporter John Triplett, contained this exchange from Blantons news conference Dec. 5 after the governors return from a combination business-pleasure trip to Jamaica;

Q. Have you made any other

trips to the Caribbean or Central or South America since youve been in office?

A. Yes. Ive been to Puerto Rico for the road convention, been to Nassau once with some friends of mine, and 1 believe Ive been to Jamaica one other time with some friends. There may have been others.

Q. The trips to Jamaica and Nassau, were those pleasure trips also?

A. Yes.

Q. These other trips you mentioned. did the state pay for those?

A. No. they did not.

Q. Did you take the Lear on those Caribbean trips?

A. No.

The Commercial Appeal reported that records in the state military department show that the Lear carried Blanton and three guests to San Juan on Feb. 9. The jet returned to

Nashville empty two days later.

The governors office was billed $3,010 for the trip under a bookkeeping procedure which, in effect, transfers money from one state agency to another.

On Feb. 14. state logs list a flight to Atlanta where the governor and three others were picked up and returned to Nashville. That flight cost $525, according to Tennessee National Guard records, the newspaper reported.

"rhe Commercial Appeal said the flight logs do not show a trip to Nassau. But reporters found in state telephone records a $5.20 call from the governors office to the Ocean Club hotel there June 3.

The following day, the article said, the Lear was sent to Miami to pick up the governor and one guest, returning them to Nashville.

A Painful Millionaire

FXX)D EXPERT DIES

RESTON, Va. (AP) - Melvin R. Bandle, 54, a specialist in world food problems and a former officer in the Agency for International Development, died Monday.

HIALEAH. Fla. (AP) -Since Juan Garcia was critically injured five months ago when a five-story scaffold crumbled beneath him, he has lived in constant pain and has become a millionaire.

For his injuries, Garcia was awarded over $4 million the largest such award ever made by a Dade circuit court jury, say his lawyers. He has already collected $1.45 million in an out-of-court settlement with American Moble Corp. of Greenville, S.C., the scafford manufacturer.

He will also collect another $2.6 million from the scaffolds distributor. Safeway Steel Products of Milwaukee, unless an appeal is filed.

While the award has done little to ease Garcias physical pain, he says it has provided security for his three children; Idania, 23, Icele, 15, and Roberto, 9.

Im going to put the money in a savings account, said the 46-vear-old Cuban exile. I

want to make sure my childrens lives are secure so that, if God stays with them, they can study and have good lives. That will be enough.

After five months at Parkway

The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.Wednesday, December 21,197719

General Hospital three on the critical list Garcia is at home and able to walk short distances on crutches.

His back is held together by a six-inch steel rod and doctors

fear he will develop arthritis.

He sometimes takes a dozen painkillers daily, but doctors have had to reduce that dosage for fear he will become addicted to drugs.

Business World Seeks A Code

By JOHN F. SIMS UPI Bustness Writer

NEW YORK (UPI) - To the cynic the words business ethics' are a contradiction in terms.

Consumer confidence in big business is almost non-existent. Only politicians rank lower in public opinion surveys. Businessmen are seen as rapacious, sly and dishonest. Whats more, businessmen themselves have little confidence in their ethical standards

Corruption, bribery, kickbacks. extortion, evasion of legal liabilities, consumer frauds none of these are new.

But recent years have seen, a rising interest in consumer protection (Naderism"),'"elimi-nation of corrupt business practices, greater honesty in advertising and a general search for higher morality in business and politics.

Attempts to redefine ethical standards of corporate life have not achieved a consensus. But there is a growing feeling that businesses should be made more accountable.

Apart from the publics skepticism exacerbated in recent years by bribery and kickback scandals and by apparent corporate determination to oppose and delay all environmental protection legislation surveys show that business executives feel they themselves, and their peers as well, are not as ethical as they say they are.

The implication is that only outside pressures, legal or otherwise, keep many managers from unethical conduct.

Since the Securities and Exchange Commission called for voluntary disclosure of bribes and kickbacks more than 300 corporations have admitted sliding more than S300 million under the table in shady deals with foreign governments or home-grown politicians.

Disclosure of this bribery has brought down a government in Japan and shaken the political system in Italy. It has forced changes in the leadership of several American companies.

Businessmen complain that they are often misrepresented or unjustifiably maligned by the public and the media. But they recognize also that they bring much of this disdain upon themselves.

Wfhen the Environmental Protection Agency decrees new antipollution standards for factories. the companies involved almost always take the issue to court. The costs involved often are so high that perhaps only a court order will convince a shareholder such outlays are necessary.

Consumer advocates like Ralph Nader or Common Cause have done a better job of public relations than industrys highly-paid and sophisticated public relations executives.

And there is no doubt that the consumer advocates, by expos

ing corporate error and hypocrisy, have created an atmosphere of suspicion about the motives and conduct of big business

Big business can reply that the number of companies that have been involved in bribery scandals, illegal political payments or patent consumer rip-offs is a minute part of the giant industrial complex that keeps America moving.

Does the public care?

A study by Prof. Paul A. Griffin of the Stanford graduate school of business indicates that investors certainly don't care.

Griffin observed the price changes of stocks in 74 companies during the weeks preceding and following their disclosure of political payments.

Firms disclosing sensitive foreign payments appeared to experience a small decline in the value of their 'common stocks, Griffin reported. 'The effect was temporary and within two weeks after the disclosure the firms security price reverted back to normal levels.

In some cases, the stock market value of a company disclosing questionable payments actually rose immediately after the disclosure.

One large multinational corporation that had disclosed some questionable payments asked its stockholders to vote on whether it should disclose all foreign payments and political contributions and 99 percent of the stockholders voted no.

bers who are not officers or fulltime employees of the company, would be responsible for recommending the appointment of independent auditors and for examining their reports.

But their major critique is of the world of politicians.

"The reduction of foreign political payments requires reform of the policies and actions of governments more than it calls for changes in the behavior of American businessmen, they wrote

Since most of the major bribery scandals involved multinational companies, the United Nations got in on the act. A U N. code of ethics for multinational corporations was proposed two years ago.

The 48-nation U N. commission for transnational corporations established a special working group in which all its members were represented. But progress has been slow.

In a session in April the group came up with a provisional list of headings as a basis for the code. The group

meets again in New York Feb. 6-17.

The original target date for drawing up a code was 1978 but it is likely to be put back for another year or so. The commission also is backing away, from its original idea of a binding code and is thinking more in terms of a voluntary set of rules.

As an example of ethics in action. Rockefeller cited Chases policy to not make loans to South Africa that tend to support that governments apartheid policies or reinforce discriminatory business practices

Chase Manhattan Bank drew up its own code of ethics and chairman David Rockefeller expounded its principles in a speech.

In developing such a code, I think we are reaffirming our own belief that ethics are an essential ingredient of business behavior; that honesty, integrity and fair dealings are indeed sound business practices as well as vital parts of our moral underpinning.

Unfortunately, cynicism has reached the point in many parts of our society where such reaffirmation is necessary and where dishonesty and unfairness need to be restigmatized in the minds of manv.

Citibank has a less well defined policy which results in a similar disinclination to bolster the racial policies of the South African government through financial dealings.

Harold M Williams, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said: In my judgment there is no such thing as corporate morality or corporate ethic. There is only a corporate environment that is conducive and supportive of individual morality and ethics.

"My own conviction is that ethics begin with the individual and end with the individual and, in essence, they do not change once the individual dons a tx)rporate hat.

Government regulation is not seen to be the answer. Business complains there is already too much regulation.

A number of groups, committees and individuals have made attempts to draw up a code of ethics.

Businessmen and corporations have offered rules of thumb;

Quaker Oats: A reasonable and practical standard of ethical behavior in business decisions and actions is that which would not be embarrassing to you, your fatbw27 jbz,7r company if it were revealed publicly and, more fundamentally, that behavior which would seem right to those who live by the best standards and moralities.

Fletcher Byrom, chairman Koppers Corp.: Possibly the best test for a person with a family might be to think whether you would be happy to tell your spouse and children the details of the action you are contemplating, or whether you would be willing to appear on television and explain your actions in detail.

J65 The bidding:

South West North East 1 Pass 1 NT Pass 4 Pass Pass Pass

Opening lead: Jack of 0.

East put his arsenal to good advantage to defeat Souths four spade contract.

Souths leap to four spades was somewhat aggressive. However, at rubber bridge, or in team games, it pays to bid games that are slightly against the odds if you are vulnerable, so we dont fault him greatly.

East-West were using a lead convention that is increasing in popularity. The lead of a jack denies a higher honor in that suit. (From holdings of A-J-10 or K-J-10, the ten is led.) That was all East needed to find the winning defense.

Sitting East was Dr.

George Rosenkranz of Mexico City, inventor of the Romex bidding system and an international trialist for the past few years. Partners lead of the jack of diamonds marked the king with South, so there was no point in ducking. He rose with the ace and, when declarer followed with the four, Rosenkranz paused to take stock.

He gave declarer six tricks in spades for his jump to game. The king of diamonds and ace of clubs brought the total to eight, and the king of hearts was sure to be a ninth trick. (If declarer did not hold the ace, he could establish the king by leading toward it, since West would have the ace.)

If declarer held the queen of clubs, the contract was secure. If he held the ace of hearts, it seemed that declarer had ten tricksunless the ace was singleton. To cater to this possibility, East found the brilliant shift to the king of clubs! This was the best play, although as the cards lay, any club would have been effective.

Declarer was helpless. If he won the ace, he would have no entry to dummy to cash the king of hearts. So declarer did his best by refusing to win the ace. Elast continued with a low club, declarer inserted the jack but West covered with the queen.

Declarer tried for a doubleton club with West w

'Mad Buir Casf Good; Script Is Frail

West to win the queen. Had West shifted to another suit, declarer would have sailed home in comfort. But West continued clubs and, though the thirteenth club set up, it was marooned in dummy together with the heart king, and declarer had to lose another diamond trick to go down one.

IN THE MONEY

NEW YORK (AP) - Johnny Carson, host of NBCs Tonight Show, has signed a new contract which gives him an annual salary of $2.5 million and even more timeoff from the late-night talk show, the New York Post said today.

By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Recipe for TV movie: Make

"Rocky a successful pro wrestler of Greek heritage. Turn the twisted cabbie of Taxi Driver into a twisted, long-haired, gun-loving wrestling fan.

Mix for two hours. The result is Mad Bull on CBS tonight.

It stars Alex Karras, the witty ex-Detroit Lion, former pro wrestler, ex-ABC sports talker and currently a fairly good actor.

Alas, he is in a fairly bad movie about pro wrestling flimflam, true love, blood-thirsty fans and a psycho out to slay a top wrestling villain. lago Mad Bull Karkus (Karras).

Mad Bull, a guy fans love to hate, actually is a shy, decent gent. He has an ex-wife, a young son who keeps asking him if his wrestling is fake, and a father, a former Olympics wrestling champ from Greece. Pop is asham^ at his sons grapplings. The son has mixed feelings.

Tonights essay starts with a tag-team bout pitting the wicked Mad Bull and his younger brother, The Executioner, against the good. Mr. Clean and The White Knight.

Would you believe the Knight - played to a steering T by Steve Sandor actually is . a sadist? Yep. He even deliberately breaks the wrist of Mad

Bulls brother (Christopher De-Rose) during the bout.

Keep this in mind, as it sets the stage for a long, serious championship match that Karras is supposed to lose. He even trains in the Rocky manner for it, ends it almost as bloodily battered.

After Joust No. 1, a burly chap asks Mad Bull if all those shouting loons in the arena alarm him.

"As long as theyre screaming or yelling, youve got nothing to worry about, Karras softly replies. Its those quiet fruitcakes you got to worry about.

Sure, you see one (Tracy Walter) at the match. Later, in his shabby room, he vows death to Mad Bull. A sign in his room says: Theyll Take

Away My Gun When They Pry It From My Cold Dead Fingers

If you find no Taxi Driver here, consider a later scene when a bum stops the psycho and asks for a quarter. The deranged one snarls, Are you talkin to me? Robert DiNiro snarled it better.

The crazy also tries one night to bash Mad Bulls red Caddy convertible off the road, screaming, Okay. Mad Bull, live like an animal, die like an animal. He also shoots Mad Bulls brother by mistake.

Amid all this. Mad Bull also strikes up an improbable romance with a supermarket employee played by Susan An-spach, a fine actress whose role here consists of looking wistfully shopworn.

The Mad Bull cast is good, the script by Vernon Zimmerman is not. It takes a wild, crazy business, strips away most of the humor and grunts and groans for two hours. It is only worth a feeble boo.

Howling Winds For California

By LAURINDA KEYS Associated Press Writer

1X)S ANGELES (AP) -Howling winds up to 80 mph tore across California from the Mexican to Oregon borders for a second day today, leaving hundreds of thousands of residents without power, fanning brushfires. and contributing to at least seven deaths.

In the far north, winds clocked at 80 mph blew the roofs off the grandstand at the Humboldt County fairgrounds and a grocery store and sent a tree crashing down onto a truck on Highway 36. killing two persons inside, officials said.

An estimated 90.000 residents were left without electric power when lines were blown over, and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. could not estimate when it would be restored.

All major roads in the area were reported blocked by fallen trees and other debris. A fishing boat capsized at Humboldt Bay Bar but its small crew was pulled from the water when a Coast Guard vessel reached the scene.

U.S. 101. The Redwood Highway. was closed from San Francisco to the Oregon border because of fallen trees blocking the road.

A fire was burning in the Alms Ridge area of the Los Padres National Forest near Big Sur. but it was not clear if the weather caused the blaze.

An estimated 75.000 homes and businesses from the Santa Clara Valley to the northern San Francisco Peninsula lost power early today when winds downed trees and voltage lines, the utility reported.

On Tuesday, the violent winds blew dovm bams and airplane hangars, toppled heavy trucks, tossed chunks of brick and roofing through the windows of homes and businesses and whipped fires out of control.

San Diego Bay was put on gale alert.

The wind conditions were caused by an extreme low pressure system 500 miles west of San Francisco sucking air at tremendous ;.peed from a high pressure area situated over Nevada. weather forecasters said.

An estimated 30,000 homes, offices and industries from Bakersfield south lost their power, and thick clouds of dust were reported as far away as Stockton, about 200 miles to the north.

It's the worst Ive ever seen. said California Highway Patrol Officer Jim Hill of Bakersfield. "I've been at this kind of work for 15 years, and I

thought I'd seen it all ... but nothing like this.

Gov Edmund G. Brown Jr. said he would probably declare disaster areas in at least two central California towns Bakersfield and Arvin.

Almost all activity in Bakersfield, the largest city in the Central Valley, had come to a standstill by midday Tuesday, the second day it had been battered by the winds.

Power had been cut off to much of the city as the winds tore down power lines, shattered windows and tossed trees across cars, houses and streets. Visibility was cut to zero by a thick, mustard-colored grit covering the city.

Some looting was reported.

In Arvin. a farm community of 7,000 people 20 miles south of Bakersfield along Highway 99, police said almost every home suffered damage.

A wind gauge atop the Arvin police station registered gusts of up to 101 mph before the gauge blew apart.

The California National Guard in Bakersfield was called into active duty and rescued 35 people huddled under a bridge on Route 58 near Arvin to escape the blinding dust storm.

The winds contributed to many brush fires, the largest one on sprawling Vandenberg Air Force Base about 50 miles

northwest of Santa Barbara. At least three people, including the base commander, and possibly a fourth, were killed. Scores were reported injured.

The winds also were blamed for the death of a woman whose car was rear-ended by a tanker truck crewing blindly along the dust-blown highway in Kern County near Bakersfield.

The city of Ramona, northeast of San Diego, was left without power, and a truck driver. Russell Velozier, 29. of Spokane. Wash., was killed when his rig was blown off Interstate 8 near Buckman Springs Grade and rolled down an embankment.

Nazi War Toys Draw Protests

By NKX STAUDINGER

Associated Press Writer

COUXJNE. West Getmany l AP) American. Japanese and British toy makers are fUxxiing West Germany with models of Stuka dive bombers and other swastika-emblazoned reminders of the Nazi war machine.

Protestant and Roman Catholic officials have joined community leaders in demanding the West German government stop the sale of the toys. So far the government has not responded.

The German Toy Manufacturers Federation says its members also produce so-called war toys, but they anwunt to less than 1 percent of their total production.

"Not only the Americans, but the Japanese and English are also taking a good share of the German market. said Peter Josef Weiss of the Rhineland State ^'outh Federation, a Cologne group of political, religious and social leaders.

The youth federation is protesting the sale of such do-it-yourself kits as Monograms Junker-7. a model of the Stuka dive bomber that is touted as "the pride of Germany. Monogram is a subsidiary of the American toy maker Mattel.

"At least they should explain the connection between the swastikas and Nazi crimes. said Weiss said.

To make matters worse, he continued, a toy catalogue says the Monogram Ju-87 carries the markings of the dive bomber flown by Hitlers favorite pilot, the ace Maj. Ulrich Rudel.

There is not a word in the catalogue about how many bombs that plane was capable of dropping over Rotterdam or Warsaw and all those other horrible things. Weiss said.

The swastika, like other symbols of banned political parties, cannot be displayed in West Germany. But a court ruled in 19T3 that the swastika was also the national marking of German war planes and may be used on models.

"Models have to be true to life. said Josef Schiessel of Monogram. He said the model builders can leave the swastika decals off if they find them objectionable.

Monogram and Revell Plastics. another American company which claims to lead the market in the sale of World War 11 models, refused to say how many models they have sold in West Germany.

But many toy departments across the country have set up special stalls just to handle the products.

Works Coal Mine After Buried Alive

- By BOB DVORCHAK

Associated Press Writer

TOWER CITY. Pa. (AP) -Ronald Adley. the rugged coal miner who was rescued from a flooded coal mine after being buried alive for nearly five days, is working in the same mine with no second thoughts.

it didnt bother me a bit, said the 38-year-old Adley, who returned to the same mine two months after a March 1 disaster nearly claimed his life.

"Thats what kept me alive. I never looked back.

Adley is a sharp featured, gutsy man content with his privacy. He seldom talks about the ordeal he survived.

It was his savvy and guile that helped him escape a killer wave of water that burst through the floor of the Kocher Coal Co.s Porter Tunnel in the heart of Pennsylvanias hard coal region.

He endured the agonizing wait while rescuers feverishly jackhammered their way through a 45-foot seam of unyielding anthracite to his air pocket a mile inside 400-foot high Big Lick Mountain.

"I say it was a freak thing, Adley said in recalling the terrifying rush of water that splintered support timbers, triggered cave-ins and killed nine fellow miners.

No coal is being dug in the section of mine where Adley found safety. And the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

After crawling through an escape hatch gouged out by rescuers working around the clock, Adley rode an electric coal train to firedom on a misty March 6 morning.

He has spumed the many offers hes had to leave the Williams Valley, and he plans to work the mines the rest of his life.

Why not? Its a good life, he said during a recent Interview.

But he still cant dismiss all the things that happened - the uncertainty that rescuers would find him, the days alone in the blackness and the knowledge that two of the dead lay just below him.

"As far as forgetting, you never forget. It makes you sometimes sit back and think, said Adley.

Its something that bums in your mind. I see it happening over and over. Sometimes 1 get restless when Im sleeping and I think, Oh, no. But you have to put it behind you.

An avid outdoorsman. Adley has gone back to doing the things hes done since he was a boy. This fall, he bought a new bird dog and he enjoyed hunting deer in the forested hills around the town.

Adley. the father of two children, started working in the mines when he was still in high school.

Had not fate intervened, no one outside the valley would know who Ronald Adley is. And he would probably like it that

way.

I just want to be myself the way I was, said Adley. Im no fanatic, but I always believed in God. Youre taught about God. but sometimes something has to happen to you to make you realize what it really means, he added.

Each person has to have something to turn to. Yeah, I can say I know what God is now.

Accordion Soles Running Poor

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. (AP) The once p(^ular piano accordion has literally been bumped off music shelves in favor of the guitar, says Mrs. Murland Peterman, a piano accordion teacher who was once part of a 58-accordion band that played at fairs and conventions.

Mrs. Peterman once had 60 students. Now she has one.

Ray Kaminski. 47. owner of a music store, says up to a hundred piano accordion exhibitors were present at an annual mer-chandis fair of musical instruments in Chicago two years ago. Last June there were only two distributors booths at the fair. he said.

Roy Middleton, another music store owner, said piano accordion sales at his store numbered only four, while he sold nearly 500 guitars.

Ever since the Beatles came on the scene with their guitars, thats the instrument everyone wants to play. said John Kirk, 42. also a music store owner.

Chicken Farmer Is Widely Recognized

By MARY ELLEN HASKETT

SALISBURY, Md. (UPIi -When that tall bald man with the deeply-lined face, beak nose and Chesapeake Bay accent visits major East Coast cities, people always recognize him. An actor No. a chicken farmer.

Frank Perdue has become a household figure since he decided to start advertising his chickens in 1971. If he is a celebrity today, he makes it clear he also remains as much a chicken proud chicken farmer as ever.

The advertising campaign features his rugged face and high voice assuring viewers of his determination to have the best chickens in the United States. It has helped raise his sales to about 2.5 million chickens a week.

Both off TV and on. Perdue insists advertising is not the only reason for his success. He virtually burbles enthusiasm for his chickens and the technology that has turned a once modest family business into an agribusiness giant.

"My competitors figure ifs my advertising thats responsible for my success, he says on the TV tube. My advertising might be good, but its nowhere near as good as my chickens.

But listen to him off tube.

He uses computers, he says, to determine the best method of turning the least amount of feed into the most meat.

He hired geneticists to breed bigger breasted birds.

And he is particularly conscious of the appearance of his birds, explaining its a demand market '

He spent $100,000. he says, to develop a way to get 16 body hairs off his chickens wings.

He feeds his chickens marigolds, he says, "as a source of xanthophyll to give them a more yellow cblor.

A source of what?

Xanthophyll. It is a chemical which occurs naturally in egg yolk among other things.

We also feed them dried alfalfa and yellow com because they have xanthopyll, he says, explaining a yellow chicken is a particularly attractive chicken for marketing in the Northeast. Such methods help place the birds in the better markets where they attract a higher price, he says.

Perdue is 57, a native Salisbury. He got into his fathers egg business in 1939 after a brief stint at Salisbury College. His father. Arthur, had started the table e^ business in 1920 ^fter quitting his job as an REA Express agent.

In 1940. the younger Perdue decided to "switch into broilers and prospered modestly for years, selling his birds wholesale in the typical manner of chicken producers.

In 1952, when he took over as president, the company sold about three million broilers a year.

Then, in 1968, Perdue started branding his chickens instead

of wholesaling mously.

"1 didnt spend much time on trying to come up with a great name, he said.

"Maybe I would have done better with something descriptive like Butterball, few people know that Swift makes them. But in retrospect. 1 think Perdue is perfect.

By 1971. he had decided to start advertising

Maybe it was his exuberant enthusiasm but. he says, the ad agency felt they wanted me to do the commercials.

1 didnt agree, but I felt 1 should do what they suggested.

Since then, his annual advertising budget has grown to about SI million and his gross income has reached about $200 million a year through the sale of about 250 million broilers.

Salisbury remains the center 01 Perdues privately owned chicken empire, now one of the nations top 15 chicken packers. It has a poultry processing plant, a soybean processing plant for chicken feed and a grain elevator.

The rest of the Perdue processing network includes egg hatching, chick delivery and feeding and broiler processing and overnight delivery to market through a fleet of about 800 trucks. With 3.200 workers, it is spread among plants in Salisbury, Ahoskie, N.C.. Ac-comac. Va., Felton. Del. and a nearly completed plant in Georgetown. Del.

Perdue said there also is a rendering plant to recycle chicken feathers. He said they have a high protein content and are processed for use in pet

food and also are used in the foam that is spread on airport runways in event of emergency landings.

For freshness. Perdues market is limited to the East Coast. He beat out the Rhode Island Red in its home state, he says. "Shes a dead bird."

Perdue contends his chickens are quality broilers meatier and juicier than his competitors. He says that it was why he decided to use a brand name.

The poultry business is "a volatile industry with lots of ups and downs, he says. A five-year average will look good, but within that period there are lots of losses and gains.

"Its verv cvclical. thats why

a lot of major publicly held companies got out. Im not so nervous about a bad year, I know its the nature of the beast. I want to reserve my right to go broke.

He travels to promote his product, but still spends much time at his plants talking to his workers. And he visits buyers to listen to suggestions.

I always lave .le question: what can we do to make it a better company.

On tube, he has his slogan, It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.

Off tube, he remarks that, having learned the business through osmosis from working at his fathers elbow since he was 19. "I still enjoy It tremendously.

Victim Bank To Help Embezzler

ALBANY. N Y. (AP) - A 19-year-old woman from suburban Colonie has been sentenced to two years probation for embezzling money from the bank where she worited.

And where will the confessed embezzler get the money to repay the bank? From a loan at The First National Bank of Scotia, where the embezzlment occurred.

U.S. District Judge James Foley said Monday he found the arrangement unusual, but accepted it. Wendy Westfall had pleaded guilty to taking $2.150 from the bank between February and August of last year.

She is to pay back the bank in monthly. $61 installments for four years. That comes to $2,-928. including interest.

vide the Commissioners with information on land use and housing problems they have experienced. The hearing will be held in the Municipal Courtroom at 7:30p.m.

Listening, in addition to the Commissioners, will be members of the planning firm working on an updated land use plan and housing study for the town and members of the Planning Board.

Among the topics about which the Commissioners hope to obtain information are problems arising from incompatible land uses, citizen preferences on grouping and location of land uses, whether problems exist concerning land availability and public policies whic^ au ..cc-ting orderly development, mw the kinds of problems residents are experiencing with the quality and availability of housing.

iymbols Of ule Based In Legends

CHICAGO (AP) - A near-sacrifice to a pagan god; a gentie bishop of Asia Minor; a poisonous plant under which foes could gather in peace, if only briefly. They are the bizarre but mostly forgotten origins of three of the most popular symbols of Christmas: the fir tree, Santa Gaus ami mistletoe.

While the custom of decorating the Christmas tree has been traced to the Germans as early as the 1400s or 1500s, the tree as a symbol originated, according to one legend, about 1,-200 years ago, says The World Book Encyclopedia.

The Enj^lsh missionary Wi-nifrid, who later became Saint Boniface, is said to have come upon some Druids who were about to slay a young prince as an offering to their god Thor.

Winifrid called a halt to the proceedings and cut down the sacred oak tree against which the human sacrifice was to have taken place. Le^nd has it that a young fir tree sprang up where the oak had stood.

The missionary told the Druids to adopt the fir as their new holy tree and explained to them that it was the tree of peace and of Christ.

But if the tree of Christmas is rooted in pagan rites, the most popular symbol of all Santa Gaus - may have had his roots in the inability of some Americans to pronounce foreign names.

The mythical Santa began life as a real person. Saint Nicholas, a bishop in Asia Minor in the 300s. A kindly num who took presents to the needy, Nicholas came to be known as the patron saint of sailors, travelers, bakers and merchants, but especially of childroi.

The custwn of giving gifts on the celebration of his feast day, Dec. 6, grew in Europe until Nichdas became widely accepted as the gift-giver at Christmastime.

Early Dutch settlers in New York brou^t the custom with them, but Nicholas Dutch name, Sinterklaas, was hard to pronounce and he became known as Santy Gaus and Santa Gaus, according to World Book.

Author Washington Irving, in the 1809 Knickerbockers History of New York, is believed to be the first to describe St. Nick as a J(rfly fellow wearing a broad-brinuned hat and huge breeches and smoking a long pipe. Santas itriy-poly image came to full flower in an 1837 pamting by artist Robert Weir and, in the 1860s, in a popular series of drawings by cartoonist Thomas Nast.

The gift-givers sleigh and reindeer were the creatkm of Gement C. Moore in his poem, A Visit FYom St. Nicholas. The belief that Santa delivered his gifts to the home via the chimney stwns from an old Norse legend, according to the encyclopedia. The Norse believed that the goddess Hertha would bring good luck to a home if she appeared in the fireplace.

It was from the Norse also that the mistletoe so conunonly found in homes at Christmastime gained its wonderful kissing properties.

A parasitic and poisonous plant which grows on the trunks and branches of trees, mistletoe had been used cere-'' moniously by early Europeans. The ancient Celts used it as a charm. And Northern mythology has it that an arrow made of mistletoe killed one of their gods.

But it was perhaps the early Scandinavians who gave the plant its sociable qualities. They considered it a plant of peace. Warring factions would declare a truce .if they met under it. It is thought that the modem custom of kissing under it began here, according to World Book.

The Scandinavians are also believed to have bequeathed to us the yule log and the term yule to describe the holiday season.

Visitors to this opulence are screened carefully by a uniformed doorman who stands next to the buildings stepped glass facade, which is decorated with cascading pink cactus and greenery.

The non-resident receives a pass from the concierge after a second interview and follows the Oriental rugs along a plant-lined corridor to the elevators in the rear of the lobby. There, another formally dressed man is waiting to collect the pass and press the button for ones destination. He does not enter the elevator.

All the condominiums are outfitted with huge windows providing spectacular views of New Yorks skyline. Central Park and the East and Hudson rivers. Many apartments have glass-enciosed winter gardens that overhang the outer wall of the buildings south side.

To many of our buyers, we are a third home, a Galleria spokesman said. They are people who come to New York regularly on business. They have a family here, or send their children to school (in the

United States). Many are involved in New York culture.

People who choose to live at Galleria want a safe place. protected from New Yorks crime, g spokesman said. He said there was an elaborate security system which combined manual and electronic devices, but he would not give details.

Management declined to identify the residents by name, but mentioned that aside from some European royalty, most of the clients were businessmen not well known to the public.

A marketing consultant described the clientele as a middle-age crowd, primarily of first and second generation money. They are entrepreneurs and professionals, who identify with the "success ethic. the consultant said.

Thirty foreign countries are represented in the building with foreign sales accounting for $17 million of the $25 million totaled since Galleria opened for business last February, a spokesman said. Americans represent only 30 percent of the buyers.

believes they do and that the Center can play that unique role in bridging what has been a long existing gap "Its not simply a matter of churches speaking to government." C.eyer said "We will not be a new lobby. That is already being done.

Nor. he stresses, will the Center be a "prayer breakfast" of moral support for politicians "The personal piety of politicians is already well attended to by others.

Inkead. the Center will be a scholarly place with a focus on "the theolog\ of politics."

By bringing together theologians. policy makers, specialists and members of special interest groups, the Center hopes to "muster the intellectu

al resources of the churches for sustained study of the bearing of Christian faith on political life and thought."

The Center has been in the works since an increasing number of church leaders learned during the 1960s they did not have either the theological or political expertise necessary to address the ethical and political problems embroiling the nation and the churches.

Institutional supporters of the Center cover a broad range, including the Armenian Church of America, the Salvation Army, the General Convention of the Swedenborgian Church as Well as the mainline Episcopal. Lutheran. Pres-bvterian and Methodist chur

ches.

Geyer. a political scientist, took up the post at the Center after serving as Dag Ham-maskjold professor of peace studies at Colgate University. He has also served as editor of the Christian Century and is best known for his work in the field of arms control and disarmament.

One of his first tasks will be what he calls the renewal of ideology the self-conscious principles and beliefs on which people act and make decisions.

"The notion that we can get along without ideology is an illusion. he said. "Our task is to ask how can we help people be self-conscious, self-critical about their values? Most people have never been forced

to come to terms very seriously with questions of ideology, their ideology.

"To renew ideology is to recognize an inevitable part of political life."

In his inaugural address, given at a dinner attended by half a dozen members of Congress, theologians, ethicists and secul.ar scholars, Geyer said the new Center will focus on secular issues and processes of public policy, especially those matters which concern justic-e to the poor, the powerless, and the oppressed and peace for the whole human family.

"These are imperatives grounded in Christian faith, he said.

Geyer acknowledged that

after the political activism of the 1960s and the disillusionment with politicians following Watergate that it may be a very bad time for launching such a center."

"This is a season of religious narcissism and exhibitionism, of zealous retreat, on the one hand, and T-shirt-and-bumper-sticker piety, on the other. "More seriously, churches are exhausting themselves in new schisms over sex and ordination, liturgy and charis-matics, mindless emotionalism and biblical literalism. There is an altogether scandalous introversion of religious energy. Much of the Centers attention. intellectual and scholarly without apology, will be directed at systems" rather than

problems, or what Geyer calls the interaction of politics with other systems of society.

Neither an Individualistic religion nor a purely pragmatic politics can adequately grasp systemic realities. he said. Individualism does not grasp interdependence and pragmatism forever tries to solve problems one-by-one. piece

meal. without facing up to the vital linkages among most if not all critical problems.

The Centers first areas of inquiry will include urban

policy, disarmament, health

care, minority rights and world political economy.

In eacn of these areas there is a need for humane and coherent new policies, according to Geyer. and it wants to

provide an integrated, crossdiscipline approach utilizing Christian thought as a foundation.

Responding to criticism that the emphasis on politics may weaken theology and spirituality, Geyer said such a view was unbiblical.

The crucifixion can never be apprehended as a religious event until it is first grasped as a political event.

When Jesus set his face to go up to Jerusalem, he was deliberately going directly to the very center of political power which could cost him his life and it did.

The Center for 'Theology and Public Policy, too, Geyer said, will set its face in that direction.

Campaign 1978: Republican Outlook Is Not Good

By CLAY F. RICHARDS UPI PoUtlcal Writw

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The 1978 elections could well determine whether there will be a Republican Party in the next decade.

There will be 33 U.S. Senators, all 435 members of the House of Representatives, 37 governors and majorities of many state legislatures on the ballot next year. Congress, the governorships and the legislatures are now overwhelmingly DenK)cratic.

The question posed by the 1978 elections is whether Republicans can make the slight comebacks needed to stay alive as a party. If the

GOP loses ground again, its viability as a political party will be seriously threatened.

The polls suggest that President Carters declining popularity will do little to benefit Republicans in the 1978 elections. This could change if there is a serious slump in the economy.

But generally the same polls that show Carter slipping, show high ratings for the Democratic Party, and Dennocratlc members of Congress.

Things do not look good for the GOP.

Despite the call by party moderates to epd R4>ubllcan cannibalism, the GOP ri^t wing has already targeted a

number of moderates for defeat even if it means electing Democrats. Heading the hit list are Sen. Clifford Case. R-N.J., Sen. Charles Percy, R-Ill.. and Rep. John B. Anderson. R-Ill., chairman of the partys house conference all will face conservative primary challenges.

Already dovm 62 to 38 in the Senate, Republicans could lose even more ground, despite the historical fact the party in control of the White House, the Democrats, usually loses seats in mid-term congressional elections.

There are more Republican than Democratic Senate seats at stake in 1978. 17-16.

There have been more Republican retirements than Democratic, putting more GOP seats up for grabs.

For instance Democratic Gov. James EXon is favored to succeed Sen. Carl Curtis. R-Neb. Gov. William Milliken was the only Michigan Republican given a chance at winning the seat held by retiring Sen. Robert Griffin, but he decided not to run.

In the House, neither Republican nor Democratic strategists are predicting heavy GOP gains. Both sides say Republicans could gain 10-15 seats not enough to significantly shift the Democrats present 289-146 advantage.

First, incumbents, armed with a campaign advantage worth according to some studies as much as $500,000 each, have an incredible record of winning re-election.

In recent years 95 percent of all incumbents seeking re-election have won. except for the post Watergate year. 1974. when the figure was still 90 percent. This means that about 95 percent of the Democrats who seek re-election will probably win.

In the battle for the 50 or so seats where there is no . incumbent, many are in the south and urban north where Republicans often do not even bother to field candidates. Of

the 20 known vacancies so far, nine, or almost half, are in Republican seats already.

On a longer range view there is a bright spot for the GOP in the House. The 1%0 census is expected to show a decline in the normally Democratic urban northern cities and an increase in population in the Republican sunbelt states of the south and west. This should take away perhaps as many as 10 seats now held by Democrats and move them to areas of the country where Republicans have a better record of winning elections.

But the real test of the future of the GOP is going to come at

the state level.

The ^vemors and many of the legislators elected in 1978 will handle congressional and legislative reapportionment following the 1980 census. While one man-one vote has evened the size of district, it has done nothing to limit the ability of the party in power to gerrymander in their favor.

In any case, the GOP is starting from a point of severe weakness:

Of the 15 largest states, only one house of one legislature. the New York State Senate, is in Republican hands. The party is not confident of retaining control of that body. Only in one state. New

LAST MINUTE

risbnas

Hampshire, do Republicans control both houses of the legislature and the governorship.

Tl Republicans have only 12 of the 50 governorships and nine of those they hold will be on the ballot in 1978. They hold only three of the big state governorships Ohio, Michigan and Illinois and all three are up next year.

A WHO .E LOT MORE

They will have a hard time holding on to Michigan if Milliken decides not to run. Gov. James Rhodes of Ohio won by a narrow margin last time and is in for a tough race. Gov. Jim Thompson of Illinois is the only GOP big state governor without apparent problems at this point, but he still has the Chicago Democrat-ic machine to beat again.

If the Republican Party is to keep from being reapportioned into oblivion in 1980, they must win some governorships in 1978.

From this long range perspective they have two possible shots New York and Pennsylvania. Gov. Hugh Carey of New York is way down in the popularity polls, and in Pennsylvania. Gov. Milton Shapp cannot run again and his administration has been given low marks by the voters in any case.

Blit, there are no Tom Deweys. Nelson Rockefellers, Hugh Scotts or Bill Scrantons in the Republican wings. And in Pennsylvania, former Pittsburgh Mayor Peter Flaherty has resigned as Deputy Attorney General to return home to seek the Democratic nomination.

The GOP has a better shot in some of the smaller states like South Dakota, Nebraska and Tennessee where incumbent Democrats are retiring or are prohibited by law from running again.

But in some big important states where Democrat incumbents are running California, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Texas the GOP doesnt stand much of a chance as things stand now.

In legislative races, the GOP now holds about 32 percent of the seats in the 50 states, but the 1978 gains will come in states mostly in the south where they wont gain enough to win majorities.Ayden Pupil Honor Lists

PORT CLINTON. Ohio (AP) Even Guinness. Ripley and Jack Nicklaus would have thought Tom Rogers was pulling their leg.

So did his wife. Marge Rogers.

I wouldnt believe it. I thought they were kidding me, said Marge Rogers, told that her husband had scored a hole-in-one on the same hole she had aced nine days earlier.

Tom Rogers, 69, a retired Cleveland salesman, used an eight iron to post his gem on the 113-yard fifth hole at Catawba Island Club in Port Clinton.

His wife, 66. who has been playing golf 15 years, hit a four iron shot for her hole-in-one.

By LEROY POPE

NEW YORK (P1) - Electrical troubles cau% owners of small boats more grief and lost boating pleasure than anything else.

Itiis is less true of outboard than inboard because the outboard engine is properly wired at the factory, has magneto ignition and even big outboards can be cranked by hand'if need be. Nevertheless, outboard motors are subject to electrical miseries caused by condensation, corrosion, fraying of cables and fuel pollution that fouls sparkplugs. If the magneto ever gets thoroughly soaked in salt water and is not immediately cleaned up and nm dry for several hours, the motor may be ruined.

Inboard engines are subject to these and more dangerous eiectical perils. Except for very tiny units, modem inboard engines have no hand cranking facility and are too big and too inconveniently mounted for handcranking. They are dependent on the battery, and that means that lives of the yachtsman and his family depKls on the battery.

Most small yachts and skiffs are equipped with what is called a nuulne battery but most are just slightly modified automobile batteries. The blunt truth is they arent good enough. True marine batteries, the kind used on ships and large yachts, are built of much more rugged materials and cost more. They are not sold everywhere, you have to hunt for them. But they may save your familiys life and theyll give you a lot more boating time.

A diesel engine has no electric ignition but unless it is tiny enough to be cranked by hand it also is dependent on the battery as are your radio and perhaps your li^ts.

Because gasoline fumes are heavier than air and sink in the bilge it is always necessary to ventilate an inboard gas engine compartment thoroughly before starting the motor. In an open boat, lifting the engine box is enough, but if the engine is below deck, there must be a properly mounted Coast Guard approved electric blower. Failure to ventilate the engine compartment properly could Mast you into king^m come.

Marine batteries should be as close to the engine and as far from the fuel tank as possible. They should be housed in heavy plastic containers with deep lids and holding straps and should be wedged firmly in place. The terminals should be painted with a special anticorrosion compound made for just this purpose. Unless you use the boat more than once a week, its a good idea to have a trickle charger to use dockside power for recharging. If your boat is kept on a mooring instead of at home or in a marina, you may have to lug the battery ashore in your dinghy now and then to have the charge built up at a garage.

Everything electrical on a boat takes a worse beating than the electrical system of your car from condensation, corrosion, heating up and fuel pollution.

There even have been a few disastrous boat fires caused by the emission of flammable hydrogen below decks from a bank of malfunctioning batteries.

You just have to be eternally vigilant about everything electrical on a boat.Dental Student Named To Post

CHAPEL HILL - Hazel J. Brown, a fourth-year dental student from Pitt County, has been elected as corresponding secretary of the School of Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The 48-chapter association, which is the student counterpart of the National Dental Association. meets three times a year to take up concerns of minority dental students.

Brown, the daughter of Mrs. Annie B. Johnson of Greenville, received her B.S. degree from Bennett College. She is married to Eairl Thomas Brown of Tar-

goes begging for lood in a big way. Hes looking for tons of it.

The 75-year-old Fahmer. a former stockbroker, can often be found driving the backroads of the Sacramento Valley looking for tons of walnuts, tomatoes. cherries, apricots, sweet potatoes, apples Hes part of a huge, informal network of nonprofit groups that scrounge for food in California. where a fifth of the nations food and fiber is produced. ''

They seek food for the old. sick and have-nots that would otherwise be wasted thrown out by distributors, processors and grocery stores, or left to be

plowed under after harvest.

Its food that has fallen through the cracks in the marketing system excess or oddsized produce, dairy products too old to sell but still good enough to eat. food in damaged containers.

In many cases the food is there for the taking, like several rows in a peach orchard that a farmer decided he cant sell. The groups check everything they gather to make sure its edible.

Some of these scrounging groups have been around for years, often linked with churches. But in the last two or three years more groups have

joined the search in a systematic way.

Their names vary Golden Harvest in Merced, Grandview in Pasadena, Neighborhood House in San Diego, and Fah-rners Senior Gleaners Fahrners effort began about two years ago when he ran an ad in a locaj newspaper promising to cal a meeting if 20 people would contact him about the hunger problem ' Id seen hungry kids One kid comes in with a sandwich and 20 kids look at the kid. Then 1 drove in the country and saw ail the food. said Fah-rner. his eyes sparkling from behind his glasses

So after the meeting, he began .Senior Gleaners. Last year, he said, the group got about 200 Ions of food from the fields and dispensed it to its 1,600 members and 30 other charities.

"1 am always soliciting. 1 just go out and knock door to door. If 1 get turned down 10 times, 1 figure Ive done a da,vs work, and I go home pooped, Fahmer said.

Senior Gleaners shares what it gets in one Sunday the group picked 26 tons of onions near Stockton with other groups across the state, and the other groups share with Fah-rner

"Different surplus houses get

surplus from their immediate area. We trade with Sacramento for cherries. We get grapefruit from down south in the Imperial Valley, sweet potatoes from Merced, said Michael Alexander of the Community Food Council in Santa Cruz.

Californias Legislature recently passed and gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed a bill aimed at preventing food waste. The'bill, which takes effect Jan. 1, has two provisions that could led to more food donations.

One allows donors to deduct the cost of the food donated for income tax purposes. The other limits the liability of food do

nors, who in the past feared they might be sued by someone who ate a donated item and became ill.

"The result of this is that food banks all over the state should benefit, said George .'vchrock, director of the Contra Costa Food Coalition. It will make it a lot easier to feed hungry people. Thats the whole point. This bill encourages retailers, canners and growers to give food to organizations like ourselves. Schrock said.

Schrock estimated his group distributed food worth $60,000 to 14,000 people last year.

Despite the efforts of groups like Schrocks. there still are

tons of wasted - or surplus -food in California, state agriculture officials said. One reason is the huge amount of food the state produces. Another is the agriculture industrys reluctance to push cooperation with such programs in a major way.

"1 dont think you will find people jumping for joy about the new law. said Les Hubbard of the Western Growers Association. a group of about 1,200 produce growers in California.

"Certainly, the liability is om thing that concerns people, h< said. And he said growers feai their donated goods will end U| in a local outlet competing witi their sold-for-profit goods.

Milfoil A Plague Of Streams

By RAYMOND L ANDREWS

SEATTLE (UPI) - It has been called the hard-case gonorriiea of our lakes and streams. From then on, the names get downright uncomplimentary.

It is a thin-stemmed, feath--ery-leafed' aquatic plant known as Eurasian Milfoil, better known as Parrott Feather.

Milfoil is growing in abundance in Lake Washington just a good downfield kick from where the University of Washington plays football. Long ago, it invaded the Tennessee Valley where from $2 to $3 million is spent each year on the herbicide 2-4D just to control it.

It is also a resident of the Okanagan region of British Columbia and officials shudder over the possibility it may get into the Columbia River system where it would play hob with navigation.

Just how milfoil got its start in this country Is not known. One theoty holds a returning Asian visitor thought it would look nifty in his home aquarium, eventually decided it didnt and dumped it into Chesapeake Bay. Oddly enough, perhaps because of a toxicant introduced into that bay, it is slowly dying off there.

In Union Bay, at the west end of Lake Washington and an

ideal habitat for the weed, it has ruined sailboating, swimming, water skiing and any attempts at fishing.

Milfoil grows on the bottom and is confined to depths of 25 feet or less. It deletes the oxygen supply and sends fish scurrying from its domain. It is a good traveler, can be transferred by birds and boaters and can proliferate by breaking off into fragments and then taking root and spreading.

its growth in Union Bay has progressed, to the point where, from the air, |t looks like a big brown parking lot.

So far it is confined to about 200 acres of the bay and covers

about 70 per cent of that acreage. It is also present in the smaller Lake Sammamish east of Seattle but to a'lesser extent.

Authorities pretty well agree that 2-4D rather than such steps as dredging, harvesting or using plastic mats is the answer to eradicating the milfoil.

The herbicide, not to be confused with the pesticide DDT, destroys the roots of the milfoil and does not have any detrimental effects on the environment, although Its use would have to be strictly monitored.

A fish named the white amur

eats the weed "but importing it as the answer raises environmental questions, to say nothing of the shock a water skier might undergo if he landed on one, since the amur grows to 150 pounds.

Use of 2-4D would probably set environemntal alarms ringing but so far it is adjudged the best bet.

The Canadians tried giant vacuum cleaners and other ways to harvest the milfoil but nothing worked.

Ironically, one reason the milfoil is on a binge in the lake is because it was cleaned up 15 years ago by a program called

Aiding Disabled Proves A Hemorrhage Of Funds

il Service pensions, the burden of providing for those who cannot work is growing, with no end in sight.

The problem has largely been hidden by concern over the stability of the whole Social Security system and of private pension plans - much like an infection in a patient who hurts so much from another disease that he doesnt notice the second debilitating illness.

Experts say there are no simple explanations for the soaring costs of disability nor

any easy means to halt the

rise.

The most visible cost is the disability insurance program run by the Social Security Administration. Its checks to 2.8 million Americans will total an estimated $11.6 billion this year.

The cost is expected to be $26 billion by 1983. when an estimated 3.5 milion people will be drawing benefits.

The exploding costs of this program have depleted the trust fund set aside for it. This pending bankruptcy is one of the principal reasons Congress raised Social Security taxes and allotted more of the revenues to disability programs. Without congressional action, the trust fund would have gone broke late next year.

The disability insurance program suffers from many problems: inequities, arbitrary rulings and molasses-slow administrative processes.

But factors outside the program. such as the nations economy and a greater willingness to apply for all the benefits that one can get, are apparently also at work on this and ' other disability programs.

More and more cwnpanies are offering some type of disability protection to their workers. A Conference Board study found 74 percent of the companies surveyed had long-term disability insurance for at least managerial employees. In a 1975 Bankers Trust study, 80 percent of the pension plans surveyed included disability retirement provisions.

Industry experts say more disability claims are being filed and people are drawing benefits longer.

This shift has cost private Insurance companies that write disability insurance policies millions of dollars in recent years. By one industry estimate. companies lost $100 million on disability policies for individuals in 1974. and 1975.

Other than Social Security, the disabled cost the federal government billions in other ways. There ar veterans pensions based on disability, some veterans medical costs and disability benefits for federal workers, including Civil Service disability pensions.

By one estimate, the overall cost of taking care of the disabled in 1975 was $114 billion. That was more than double the money spent on disability by government and private firms five years before.

This estimate, by Monroe Berkowitz and Jeffery Rubin of Rutgers University, includes medical costs of abouL $65 billion.

The researchers said the costs of disability could be $219 billion in 1980 if the rate of increase between 1970 and 1975 does not slow.

Honored As An 'Average Guy'

OGDEN. Utah (AP) - Floyd Tracy McFarland Jr., a 25-year veteran of the Ogden fire department, was honored as the citys employee of the month recently, but it was not because he had achieved something great.

Mackie. according to assistant fire chief Joe Hilton, isnt the kind of guy who sets the world on fire (no pun intended). Hes really kind of average.

Hes never done anything outstanding. Hilton told the Reporter, Ogden Citys official newsletter. Theres a guy in the Lil Abner comic strip who walks around with a bla<* rain cloud over his head and he brings bad luck wherever he goes. Thats Mackie.

But. Hilton added, his life isnt all bad luck. He is kind of an unsung employee, and yet he holds an honored place. He enjoys the love and respect of his family and friends.

First Printed Christmmos Card

KANSAS OTY (AP) - The first commercially printed Christmas card was the result of procrastination. In 1843, London businessman Henry Cole realized he had neglected to send his personal best wishes to friends - the holiday custwn of the time.

To make amends, he asked an artist friend. John Calcott Horsley, to design a special card, according to Hallmark researcher Sally Hopkins. The card an^red temperance groups because it showed a family with wine glasses lofted in a toast, but a tradition was bom, she repwls.

Fire Hazard Debate Simmers

By MICHAEL J. OONLON

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The controversy over a potential fire hazard fnMn aluminum wiring installed in more than two million American homes during the late 60s and early 70s continues to simmer.

The issue now has reached the somewhat ridiculous state where a federal agency the Consumer Product Safety Commission has gone to court to have the wiring declaren m imminent danger, but at the same time is under a court order so ti^t it cannot make any piMic pronouncements on the subject.

All of this has left consumers confused and probably ignorant of what the danger really is and how to recognize and repair it. In the meantime there have been several deaths in house fires believed triggered by the wiring.

Now, however, there is some

expert advice being made available in a roundabout way. You can pick up on it with a trip to the public library, or by writing a letter.

Heres what has happened:

When the safety agency went into federal court in Washington this fall seeking to force aluminum wiring companies to correct the situation, it filed as part of its brief a copy of a warning pamphlet it had put timber on the subject.

The pamphlet was never disseminated because the safety agency was sued by one of the aluminum companies last spring and as part of that action a federal court In Delaware put the agency under a gag order which prevents It from saying anything at all about aluminum wiring.

Some members of Congress, however, discovered that the pamphlet had been included in the court papers and have gone

to the trouble of having it reproduced. Thus, even while the Product Safety Commission can't talk about the problem directly, its best thoihts on the subject are now being made available.

The problem involves the use of aluminum wiring in switch plates and other connectors which were designed only for use with copper wire. In 1973 the Industry started using different connectors, and now aluminum wiring, when properly installed, is believed to be perfectly safe.

But aluminum wiring installed between 1965 and 1973 is believed to be a proWem because it can become hot at the connecting points and cause a fire in the wall.

The CPSC pamphlet, headed with the words Warning: You May have a Serious Fire Hazard, is graphically illustrated and includes technical

detail which your electrician can use in making the repairs. Heres how to get a copy:

If your local library keeps copies of the Congressional Record (niost do) look up the Issue of Nov. 3. 1977. Turn to page H-12209. There you will find the text of the pamphlet reproduced as submitted by Rep. John Moss. I>Calif.

In addition Rep. Newton Steers, R-Md., had repi^uced the entire pamphlet, including illustrations, which he is giving away to anyone who writes.

If you want his version write to him at 510 Cannon House Office Bdlg., Washington, DC. 20515.

The pamphlet says to watch for these trouble signs:

Cover plates and outlets which are warm or hot to the touch

The actual determination of problem. It is not necessary to

whether your connectors are in have the whole wiring replaced

trouble will have to be made by only the switches or outlets

an electrician. If you do have a need to be replaced.

In any case the pamphlet goes into much more detail and you should read it before taking any action.

Snnoke coming from outlets or switches.

Sparks or arcing at switches and outlets.

Strange odors, especiall> the smell of burning plastic, in the area of outlets or switches.

Lights which flicker periodically (in some cases, faulty appliances or other unrelated causes may result in lights flickering).

Outlets, lights or entire circuits which fail to work.

The best and safest way to check to see if you have aluminum wiring is to look for some exposed wiring in the basement, attic, garage or elsewhere and see if the letters AL or the word ALUMINUM is stamped on the outside jacket of the wire insulation every lew feet.

PYRAMIDS PLANNED

NEW YORK (AP) - Pyra-mid-shape recording studios will be built in Malibu. Calif., it has been announced here.

The reason is a belief that to achieve the best recorded sound, no two opposite wails should be the same.

The new studio will consist of a giant pyramid with three smaller pyramids inside, each a recording studio measuring 2.500 feet. Interior wall construction will alternate fiberglass squares with flat surfaces, each 16 inches square.

Mistakes Are Costly Way To Learn Lessons

The Dally Reflector, Greenville, N.C.Wedneaday, December n, 1177-S

Malaysia Built Tourist Complex

INTERSTATE SECURITIES CORP.

Learning from past mistakes is learning the hard way. Those mistakes which occur most frequently can be avoided by following these guidelines.

One of the more serious errors is. we believe, investing before you are financially capable of doing so. Adequate insurance and emergency cash reserves are a must before committing funds to the stock market.

Determine your investment objective and how you intend to achieve it. Stick to your plan. Many people buy individual stocks with no idea where they fit in the overall investment plan: each security you buy should have its place in the portfolio. Dont be impatient; give your investments a chance to work for you.

There is nothing wrong with speculation per se, or with options or commodities or selling short. But be sure you know what you are doing and where it fits in with your investment objective. Can you really afford the risk involved? ^

The buying of fad stocks, or buying stocks on tips or rumors is speculation at its worst. Todays market is a perfect example of a market moving on rumors. While there have been many legitimate buy-outs and tender offers, stocks are now moving on the basis that they might be potential takeover candidates. Cycles like these always end as abruptly as they begin. Buy stocks which have sound underlying value; if they are potential merger candidates as well, so be it. It is dangerous to buy stocks simply because you believe someone else might attempt to take them over. Investigate before you invest.

Dont buy stocks just because they look cheap. There may be a good reason for the stock to have sold off sharply - business may be turning down or the dividend may be in jeopardy. On the other hand, institutions may be dumping the stock for portfolio window-dressing, not because of failing fundamentals.

Stocks cannot be bought and then forgotten. A systematic annual or semi-annual review of your portfolio is a necessity. Prospects for a given stock may have changed enough to warrant sale, or you may want to take

Model Train Hobby Is Old

BfflNNEAPOUS (yPI) - The building of models is as old as the Egyptians and the modd train hobby is as old as the first railroads.

The early nwdels were mostly crude and whittled out of wood for children to pull across a fkMH*.

In 1895 came the Marklin Brothers, inventors as important to the model train industry as the unsung heroes who gave us shoe laces, barbed wire and the tin cans. The brothers brought out track sections that could be pushed together.

By the 19a0s, the first serious scale modeling began. One of the pioneers was Edwin P. Alexander, who two years ago celebrated 50 years of locomotive and car kit manufacuring.

The first of the well known iiMXiel train hobby organizations, the New York Society of Model Engineers, was founded. Today, many of the hundreds, if not thousands, of model train clubs in the United States are nearing the half century mark.

The hobby got a big boost from the 1927 Fair of the Iron Horse in Baltimore, followed by the Chicago Century of Progress in 1934. In 1927, the Model Maker Magazine began publishing followed by the Railroad Model Craftsman in 1933 and the Model Railroader in 1934.

profits. Give your stocks a chance to work for you, but if they dont, sell them. Regular portfolio reviews can help you preserve and increase your capital.

Dont overdiversify. Too many securities in a portfolio can make it unmanageable, but too few can expose you to too much risk. For the average portfolio, l,')-2 well chosen stocks can provide adequate diversification.

Dont buy one stock to the exclusion of all others, even if It is a good one. If problems occur in a company whose stock accounts for 50% of your portfolio, you could easily lose most of all of that portion of your investments. Dr. if a .stock has been an exceptional market performer, the

normal-sizt'd position might increase to the point that it accounts for a large percentage of the portfolios market value. Begin scaling out of stocks like these, taking profits and keeping the portfolio balanced. Dont be "married to any stock you own and refuse to sell it under any conditions.

Finally, if you have made a mistake, admit it. If the fundamentals of a company dont pan out and the stock declines in value, sell it. Holding on because you think it will come back will only result in stale money that could be working for you elsewhere.

Keep these guidelines in mind when investing. They could help you avoid learning the hard way.

GENTING HIGHLANDS, Malaysia (UPI) High up above the clouds on a moun-taintop ringed by virgin forests sits Malaysias blockbuster tourist attraction.

In the $50 million Genting Highlands resort complex spilling over 12.000 acres, visitors can live it up gambling, golfing, boating, swimming, horseback riding or simply relax and enjoy the rugged scenery 5.600 feet above sea level.

Genting. which in Chinese means above the clouds, sits astride the border between the Malaysia states of Panang and Selangor and is only 10 minutes away by helicopter shuttle or 90 minutes by car along scenic, zigzag mountain roads from Malaysias capital city of Kuala Lumpur.

The resort enjoys a year-round temperature of between 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, with cotton wool clouds occasionally drifting in and wrapping llie area in alluring mist.

Genting offers just about everything for everyone in line with the- total resort complex concept laid out by its owners, a Malaysian public corporation.

There are four hotels with 450 rooms with both modest and first-class accommodations ranging from $7.50 to $12.50 a day. A fifth. 200-room luxury hotel is scheduled for opening later this year.

In the main hotel is the Casino De Genting, Malaysias only casino, where visitors can play roulette, baccarat, blackjack. keno, Chinese tai sai (big and small dice) or the slot machines.

The casino is supervised by

the government treasury and a five percent gaming tax is collected on all chips being played. Ix)ng-sleeved batik or regular shirts with ties are required attire for men. Photographs are forbidden inside.

In an attempt to discourage over-adventurous gamblers among Malaysian citizens, they are required to deposit $80 before entering the gaming area.

"The deposit is to discourage low-salaried people from squandering their hard-earned money. This also assures that losers have enough money to get back home. a resort executive said.

All the dealers and croupiers are Malaysians, the men in heat white shirts and bow ties and the women in yellow two-piece uniforms with orange vests. They all underwent

training by Korean tutors, who run similar casinos in .Seoul

Besides the casino, there are facilities for boating, pony rides, fishing, indoor sports and even an amu.sement park and game machines for children. Restaurants in the different hotels offer a variety of Malaysian. Chinese and Western cusine. There is also a nightclub with international floorshows.

A thousand feet below the topmost level is Gentings latest attraction, a 6,857-yard, par-72 golf course. It is accessible by road or cable car and sprawls over 200 acres of landscaped mountain area dotted with ravines, lakes, bushes and boulders. Opened last May the golf club is a joint venture between Malaysians and Japanese and is a membership club, although tourists are allowed

playing privileges.

The complex is run by a staff of 1,200 and handles an average of 1.000 to 2,000 visitors on weekdays and between 8,000 to 10,000 on weekends and holidays.

Malaysians comprise 35 percent of the visitors, with Singaporeans making up 30 percent. The rest are tourists from other countries.

The completion of Gentings newest hotel, where the casino will be moved to bigger and more opulent premises, ups total investment in the five-year-old complex so far to $50 million.

It is the biggest single private investment in Malaysias growing tourist industry, according to a resort official, and thus far appears to be paying off with net earnings of $7.4 million last vear.
