Gunman Attacks Royal Couple; Princess Anne, Husband Unhurt

LONDON (UPI) — A gunman with a kidnap note to Queen Elizabeth in his pocket am: bushed a royal limousine in which Princess Anne and her husband Capt. Mark Phillips were riding to Buckingham Palace Wednesday and fired six shots through its windows with an automatic pistol. The royal couple escaped injury. But four persons, including the chauffeur, Anne’s personal bodyguard, a police- man and a newsman were wounded before a policeman brought down the gunman, described as a_ tall, thin Englishman, with a_ flying tackle. “Tt was an attempt to kidnap the princess,” British Home Secretary Roy Jenkins told Parliament. “The attempt did not succeed and neither the princess or Capt. Phillips were hurt.” It was the first assault on a member of the British royal family in 35 years. The ambush occurred on the broad Mall about 200 yards from Buckingham Palace at 8 p.m, (3 p.m. edt) as Anne and Mark were driving back to the palace after a private showing of a film about equestrian training —their favorite sport. Police said a white Ford forced the princess’ Rolls Royce limousine to the curb and the gunman jumped out and began firing. The wounded men were the chauffeur, identified only as Mr. Callender; Anne's body- guard, Inspector James Bea- ton; policeman Michael Hills; and Brian McConnell, a report- er for the Sun newspaper. Beaton, Callender and Hills were all hospitalized in serious condition. Sammy Scott, 25, a young London woman, was driving behind the royal limousine when the gunman's car forced it to the curb. “I suddenly heard what I thought were toy pistol shots," she sald, and stopped and got out of her car just in time to see McConnell, who had just stepped out of a taxi in front of her, fall wounded to the ground. Miss Scott said another man then was shot and as she bent to try to tend to him, a third victim walked up to her with ‘blood all over him." She said the royal couple were crouched inside the Hmousine and the gunman, a man in a raincoat, “very tall and...quite thin’’, was on the other side of the car, ‘shaking the door madly and firing.” “Princess Anne and Mark tried to get out of the car on the pavement (sidewalk) side,"’ she sald. . “The gunman was on the other side of the car. And he saw that they were trying to get out of the other side. They had the door open and Mark had just got out and Anne was following, and he came shooting around the front of the car and went to fire the gun at them again. “They scrambled back into the car and about six or seven policemen by that time had arrived and they converged on the gunman and got him down." Miss Scott said she ran up tc the car and asked the princess “Are you all right, Luv?’ She tust looked up and said ‘Yes, I'm fine, thank you.’ And Mark had his arm around her in a very protective sort of way. And then they got out the other side and were hustled into another car,"’ Miss Scott sald. They were very brave.” Police said the gunman tried to run into nearby St. James’ Park, the royal woods adjoining the palace. Police constable Peter Edward pursued him and brought him down with a flying football tackle. Police said he was an Englishman from north London but did not give his name. They said he would be formally charged Thursday. Police said the kidnap note, addressed to Queen Elizabeth, was found on him, but did not divulge its contents. McConnell was struck in the chest by a4 bullet which crashed through the window of a taxi as he stood on the other side. Police said Beaton got off three shots at the gunman before his gun jammed and he fell with three bullet wounds. Hills, who underwent surgery to remove a bullet from his liver, called out “I've been shot," over his radio before collapsing, police said. The 23-year-old princess, the Queen's only daughter, was married to Phillips, a com- moner, In a ceremony rich in pomp and pageantry in West- minster Abbey Nov.14 wit- nessed by millions of television watchers around the world, It was the first assault on British royalty since an unsuc- cessful assassination attempt on the Duchess of Kent in 1939. There have been several! other unsuccessful attempts against members of the Britist royal family this century.

NEWS ROUNDUP——— Teacher Strike Widens

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — More teachers joined a threeday strike Wednesday and half of Kansas City’s 63,000 public school students stayed home. Many schools closed. In support of the strike, local teamsters said they would not deliver milk t© school cafeterias. Scattered incidents of vandalism were reported across the city. Hopes for renewed talks between teachers staging the walkout that violates Missouri law and school officials clouded as the ranks of pickets increased. But the schvol board said classes would be held Thursday.

Hijacking Attempt Results In Shooting

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — With a knife at her throat and an extortionist telling her to telephone his demands to an airline, Rebecca Dotlich instead calmly dialed the security police at Weir Cook Airport Wednesday. An officer shot the assailant as he started to cut her throat. _ The extortionist was identi- fjed as Dennis Tillman, 36, of Detroit. Police said he had demanded $1 million and an airplane when he seized Miss Dotlich. He was rushed to General Hospital with a bullet in his neck. Miss Dotlich, 22, who thwart- ed the attempt through her cooiness and courage, was cut in the neck, but she was not believed seriously injured. Miss Dotlich is an employe of the F. a Tucker Co., a real estate fir: directly across the concourse from the Trans World Airlines: check in coun- ter. The extortionist apparently thought the real estate office was part of the TWA operations. He walked in, whipped out a knife, put it to Miss Dotlich’s throat, and told her she was a hostage. The man told her to telephone for $1 million and an airplane. Instead, she sent out a telephone alarm, and Capt. Dennis Maxey and Lt. Sam Mendenhall were dispatched. Maxey talked to the extor- tionist through the door and then entered the room. As he did so, police said, the man began cutting Miss Dotlich’s throat. Maxey yelled to Men- denhall, "Shoot!" Mendenhall did, and the extortionist fel].

Soldiers Killed By Irish Police

BELFAST (UPI) — Northern Ireland policemen killed two British soldiers and wounded two others Wednesday after mistaking them for Irish Republican Army (IRA) gun- men in two separate gunfights in a rural area south of Belfast, police said. “It was a tragic accident," a police spokesman said. The first gunfight erupted between a group of soldiers Standing beside a broken down army truck anda passing police patrol. The second broke out between a military Land Rover sent to tow in the army truck and a police car sent to assist the first police patrol. The deaths raised the toll to 980 persons killed in 4-14 years of violence among the majority Protestants, minority Roman Catholics and the security forces in Northern Ireland. An army spokesman said the first group of soldiers were returning from a leave in Germany in civilian clothes when their truck broke down 40 miles south of Belfast. As they waited, officers in a passing police car stopped to question them and somebody started shooting, he said. “The policemen‘thought tify were terrorists,’ a _ police spokesman said. ‘‘There has been a lot of IRA activity in the area.” A second police car called to aid the policemen encountered the Land Rover sent to tow in the disabled truck and a second gunfight broke out in the village of Mowhan. Mrs. Sarah Davison, the local postmistrress ran outside as soon as the shooting stopped and found one of the soldiers dying in a pool of blood on the road. ‘I put a blanket under his head but there was nothing else I could do,’ she said. ‘It was very tragic.” Army officers blamed the shootings on the tension created by a stepup in violence that has left three soldiers, two police- men and four civilians, includ- ing two IRA gunmen, dead in the past five davs.

Baltimore County Head Convicted Of Extortion

BALTIMORE (UFi) — A federal jury convicted Bal- timore County Executive N. Dale Anderson of 32 counts of conspiracy, extortion and tax evasion Wednesday ina further development in the Investiga- tion that forced his predecessor, Spiro T. Agnew, to resign the vice presidency. Anderson, 57, Agnew's successor as county executive and one of Maryland's most powerful Democrats, was con: victed of extorting more thar $38,000 in kickbacks from | engineers and architects — in return for no-bid contracts and of evading more than $67,000 in federal income taxes. The grand jury that indicted Anderson also heard evidence that resulted in Agnew's resignation as vice president and his no-contest plea to one count of tax evasion, Defense Attorney Norman P. Ramsey argued that the kick- back scheme operated during the Agnew administration and that Anderson had tried to stop it. The prosecution agreed that Anderson, a former Democratic national committeeman, had inherited a system of corruption but charged that he exploited it for his own personal profit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rus- sell T. Baker said in his summation that Anderson '‘in- herited the kickback system. Anderson didn't create it, he didn’t invent it, but he exploited it and made a lot of money out of it.” Anderson, who spent four days on the witness stand in his own defense repeatedly said ‘'] never authorized or accepted kickbacks from anyone." The jury deliberated for eight and one-half hours before convicting Anderson on 27 counts of extortion, four of income tax evasion and ore of conspiracy. Anderson would face a maximum $320,000 in fines and 580 years in prison if the sentences meted out to him were made consecutive, an unusual practice. He was freed on his personal recognizance and given 20 days to file an appeal, Anderson, accompanied by his wife and two children, was visibly shaken and blanched when the verdict on the first count) was announced. He stared at each of the jurors who were individually polled on the verdict in open court. Following his conviction And- erson said: “IT have authorized = Mr. Ramsey to take all steps necessary to file for an appeal. “Tam not guilty.” Prosecution witnesses testi- fied they gave money to William Fornoff, Anderson's former chief administrator. Fornoff, who like the others was given limited immunity, testified he passed It on to his superior. Ramsey, in his summation, urged the jury to “not let a fine public servant be torn apart by a pack of jackals who testified under immunity and are out to save their own skin,"

Gasoline allotments for local dealers have gener- ally increased this month, but no dealer contacted by the Daily News said he had made any plans to open on Sundays due to President Nixon’s Tuesday night an- nouncement. The President said in that televised appearance that he was lifting his ban on keeping gas stations

Dr. Nedderman honored here

More than 300 people turned out Wednesday night in inclement weather to help honor Dr. Wendell H. Ned- derman, new president of the University of Texas at Arlington. A buffet and reception honoring Nedderman were held in the Arlington Community Center, 2800 S. Center St. The events were sponsored by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and UTA. A group from the UTA jazz band played dinner music as guests enjoyed champagne, punch and a din- ner of cold shrimp, standing rib and barbecued ham. Mayor Tom Vandergriff expressed his apprecia- tion to Nedderman from the City of Arlington during a brief ceremony. Ralph Shelton, Arlington Chamber of Commerce president, congratulated Nedderman for his accom- plishments in academia and for his work as a member of the chamber board.

More gasoline, yes; Sunday service, no

open on sunday. “I don’t know what the hell Mr. Nixon is talking about,”’ said a local Exxon dealer. ‘‘He hasn’t made even a dent in the situa- tion.” According to radio re- ports, the Exxon dealer said, “‘we were getting less than 15 per cent of our oil from the Mideast.’ He predicted that ‘the crisis will still remain’ even af- ter Arab oil begins to come back into the U.S., since the embargo has _ been lifted. ALER, Mark Prior, who manages a Shell station at 700 W. Abram, said he would open on Sundays ‘‘if President Nixon will give us some gas. You're not going to see anybody open on Sundays,” he © said. ‘That increase is going to farmers and truckers.”’ James Hale, manager of a Texaco station at the cor- ner of Cooper and Spur 303, said he would not be stay- ing open Sundays at this point because ‘I’m still not going to have that much more gas." Hale also said that ‘‘any increases in gas will be the background for raising the prices. Exports have been a chief reason for the U.S. oil and gae shortage, Hale said, and added that the en- tire “energy crisis’ has been an attempt by the ma- jor oil companies to gain control over the industry. “IF WE have to pay higher crude prices to the Arabs,’ Hale said, ‘‘then we'll have higher prices for sure. | think the oil com- panies are trying to elimi- nate the’ middle men and raise their own profits. And if they can export the oil at a higher price, they will,’ he added. Hale predicted __ that many stations will be taker over by the large oil com- panies after the individual Owners are driven out of business. ‘‘That’s pretty big business, isn’t it?’ Hale remarked. Lee Johnson, manager of three Gulf stations, in- cluding one at 1832 E. Park Row, said he still had not heard any word from Gulf, but he expected a raise in fuel allocation, partialy be- cause of the lifting of the oil embargo. Mac Kiser, manager of a Texaco station at 2432 W. Division, forecast a rise in both gasoline availability and prices. The effects of the Arabs lifting their oil embargo will have an ef- fect, he said, but added that “it won’t be any quick thing. I think conditions have started on the way back up,”’ Kiser said. An Exxon dealer noted that Exxon stations are get- ting much less gas than stations of other compan- ies. “It’s all in the way they interpret the law,” he said. ‘‘Exxon interprets it conservatively, and the others interpret it liber- ally.” If current conditions re- main, drivers shouldn’t ex- pect to find any gas on Sun- days, the station managers agree. And don’t be sur- prised if gasoline prices rise a few cents in the near future.

With Dallas, Fort Worth Airlines feud underway

Preliminary hearings on law suits involving the ci- ties of Dallas-Fort Worth and at least four airlines operating at the new air- port were slated to begin this morning in the court of U. S. Dist. Judge Eldon Mahon in Fort Worth. However, late Wednes- day it was learned by the Daily News the date for the hearings had been ‘‘con- tinued indefinitely by the court in order to allow the parties to more fully pre- pare.”’ Braniff and Texas Inter- national Airlines are being sued by the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth for $3.5 million in damages and a restraining order is being sought to halt commuter operations of the two air- lines from Love Field. Delta Airlines has filed suit against the City of Dal- las alleging the city has violated the 1970 airport contract signed by the ci- ties of Dallaa and Fort Worth and tho eight partici- pating airlines, which Delta contends requires all air- lines (included in the con- tract) to use the new air- port. American Airlines has filed a cross claim asking that the City of Dallas be enjoined from permitting Braniff and Texas Interna- tional operations at Love Field. American, contend- ing it is in effect being forced to subsidize Bran- iff’s Love Field operations, has refused to pay part of its January landing fees. Braniff and Texas Inter- national, in turn, are ask- ing Judge Mahon to dimiss the suit filed by the two ci- ties because the action is not within the jurisdiction of federal courts, that the matter should be handled by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). The two airlines further contend that until South- west Airlines is forced to move from Love Field it would be discriminatory for the City of Dallas to force them to stop operations from there. Prior to the opening of the Dallas-Fort Worth Air- port, Southwest Airlines went to court and won the right to continue operating commuter flights from Love Field. In his decision, U. S., Dist. Judge W. M. Taylor stated that since Southwest was strictly an intrastate carrier it was subject to control by the Texas Aeron- autics Commission and the CAB. Because of this decision, when the new _ airport opened, Braniff retained a fow commuter flights at Love Field, while moving the bulk of its operations to D-FW Airport. When it became appar- ent Braniff would continue these operations, Texas In- ternational filed suit in the 44th Dist. Court of Judge Joe B. Burnett seeking the right to operate commuter flights from Love Field. Judge Burnett handed down a temporary injunc- tion saying that Texas In- ternational should be al- lowed the use of Love Field by the City of Dallas as long as Braniff was permit- ted to do the same.

Membership issue eyed Teachers face national affiliation jecue

Arlington's 1,200 mem- bers of the Texas State Teachers Association will be voting next month on the controversial issue of whether or not to make membership in the Na- tional Education Associa- tion (NEA) mandatory. NEA, the largest teacher group in the nation, issued a mandate two years ago stating that teachers who joined state teachers asso- ciations must also join the NEA. If the states have failed to comply with NEA’s man- date by 1975, they will be expelled from the organiza- tion. Texas is currently one of seven states affiliated with NEA which has not yet made membership in NEA mandatory. According to Robert Burgin, Arlington chapter president of the TSTA, teachers who are membors of the state association may also join the 1.4-million member NEA if they choose, but only 40,000 out of 150,000 state mem- bers have selected to do so. Only one-fourth of Ar- lington’s TSTA members are also members of the NEA. THE ISSUE OF manda- tory membership in the NEA, commonly referred to as the ‘‘unification’’ is- sue, threatens to be a divi- sive one, marking disagree- ment between principals, administrators and teach- ers. If the referendum, ap- proved for a vote by the 1,500 delegates to the TSTA convention in Fort Worth last week, is passed some TSTA members say they will drop out of the group De dictated to or have their dues increased. If it fails, TSTA faces ex- pulsion from any affiliation with NEA. Arlington Superintendent James Martin said he was “‘very opposed”’ to making membership in the NEA mandatory because’ he didn’t think national mem- bership should be forced onto state members. An Arlington high school teacher who is already an NEA member, however, stated that membership in the national organization would provide strong lobby- ing advantages because of tho active role taken by the group. BURGIN SAID the NEA was ‘“‘concerned with teach- ers across the nation’’ and sought to provide ‘‘more nrovcrame and legiclatinn at BURGIN SAID the NEA was ‘‘concerned with teach- ers across the nation’ and sought to provide ‘‘more programs and legislation at the national level. “If the NEA could say it speaks for all teachers in- stead of just some, it would have a more impressive impact in trying to get leg- islation passed for children in schools and the country in general,’’ Burgin said. Both the National Art and the National Music Associations have encour- aged mandatory member- ship in the NEA. Arlington delegates to the TSTA convention last week voted with the major- ity in a 922-599 vote to put the unification issue to TSTA members. Members will cast their vote next month by mailing in a secret ballot to Austin. Local educators predict the vote will be a very close one with a possibility of groater support in urban areas than rural areas.

Hiring discrimination laid to trucking firms

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Jus- tice Department, after years of bat- tling individual companies on minor- ity employment discrimination, has turned its legal guns on the trucking industry as a whole and plans to take action soon against the steel indus- Attorney General William B. Saxbe Wednesday filed suit naming almost 350 trucking firms—virtually every sizeable company in the field —in a class action charging discrimi- nation against blacks and persons with Spanish surnames. The suit filed in U.S. District Court here also named the Teamsters Union and a Washington-based firm representing trucking firms in union negotiations, charging discrimina- tion in seniority and transfer prac- tices. Filed with the suit was a consent decree in which the seven major de- fendants in the suit, without admit- ting any past discrimination, agreed to substantially boost hiring of minorities until every job classifica- tion reflects the racial makeup of the area involved. Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottinger, who heads the Civil Rights division, expects within the next few weeks a similar consent decree in the case of the unions. The decree carries the weight of a court order without the case having gone to trial. ‘“‘We are now negotiating with the steel industry on the same basis,” Pottinger said. He said he expected a similar suit and consent decree in the near future involving the nation’s steel companies. He said the suit filed Wednesday was the department’s first class ac- tion suit against an entire industry, and said the approach would save 10 years worth of work by 10 depart- ment lawyers by avoiding filing of a barrage of simitar suits. The companies involved in the con- sent order were Arkansas-Best Freight System Inc., Fort Smith, Ark.; Branch Motor Express Co., New York City; Consolidated Freightways Inc., Menlo Park, Calif.; I.M.L. Freight Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah; The Mason and Dixon Lines Inc., Kingsport, Tenn.; Pacific Intermountain Express Co., Oak- land, Calif. and Smith’s Transfer Corp.. Staunton. Va.

lll juror delays conspiracy trial

NEW YORK (AP) — Because of the illness of a juror, the criminal conspiracy trial of former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell and ex-Commerce Secretary Maurice H. Stans was re- cessed today until Monday. Federal Judge Lee P. Gagliardi announced that Violet Humbert had been taken ill early this morning and was hospitalized. He said by agree- ment of the prosecutor and defense lawyers, the trial was recessed until after the weekend. If Mrs. Humbert is unable to con- tinue, there are six alternate jurors available. The announcement came as the government was prepared to call John W. Dean III, ousted White House counsel, as its next witness. Dean’s expected appearance at- tracted an unusually large crowd to the federal courthouse. The court- room was packed to capacity, as it has been since the trial began five weeks ago, and the overflow in the hallways was greater than usual. Dean was reported to be in the building, but he never appeared in court. The nature of Mrs. Humbert’s ill- ness was not revealed, although she was said to be a diabetic. Gagliardi said her condition improved since being hospitalized. Groundwork for Dean’s appear- ance was laid by former Securities and Exchange Commission chair- man William J. Casey’s testimony Wednesday that Dean made at least four telephone calls, evincing White House interest in a securities fraud case against financier Robert L. Vesco. There were indications that Dean may take the witness stand today. Dean was ousted as President Nixon’s counsel last April 30 after he admitted a part in the cover-up of the Watergate break-in. Mitchell and Stans are accused of seeking to head off an SEC com- plaint against Vesco, in return for the latter’s secret $200,000 cash con- tribution to President Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign. Government interrogation of Casey focused almost entirely on Mitchell, with scant mention of Stans. How- ever, at its conclusion, Stans’ attor- ney, Walter Bonner, asked: “Isn't it a fact, Mr. Casey, that Maurice Stans never, never asked you to fix this complaint?”’ “Yes, that is a fact,’’ replied Casey, 61, who is now president of the Export-Import Bank. A perjury count in the indictment is based on Mitchell’s denial before a grand jury that he ever talked to Dean about the Vesco case. Casey see Trial—page 2

‘CHP chief asks 55-mph discard

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The head of the California Highway Patrol says speed limit and allied “energy conservation’’ ar- rests should be stopped. “I think the limit should go back to 65 as soon as practical because that’s what we designed the freeways for,’’ CHP Com- missioner Walter Pudinski said in an interview Wednesday. “But that’s a political decision, up to the legislature.” A state law lowering the California speed limit to 55 mph is effective until July 1975. A 55 mph speed limit nationwide was mandated by Congress in legislation which denies federal highway funds to states which permit highway speeds in excess of 55 mph. “We’re not arresting people for speeding to enforce traffic safety, which should be our job,” Pudinski said. ‘‘We’re arrest- ing people as an energy conservation measure, and that should- n’t be a law enforcement issue.”’ Pudinski said the reduced speed limit is ‘‘building in a disre- gard for traffic laws’’ and should be endéd because the Arab oil embargo is easing. But the traffic chief said, ‘As long as the lower limit re- mains we will do our best to enforce it so it’s not a farce. It’s not up to me to let up.”’ He said the 55 mph limit ‘‘is going to be difficult for the pub- lic to accept now that the crisis has eased. They’re going to vio- late the law and we'll have difficulty maintaining tight con- trol.”’

New oil embargo ruled out

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissing- er today said he does not expect the Arabs to reimpose their oil embargo against the United States and that he does not hold the Soviet Union responsible for the outbreaks of fighting between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights. At a news conference in advance of a trip to Moscow, Kiss- inger said, ‘‘Both of us have an obligation to contribute to peace and both of us are exchanging ideas on this subject.” Most of the Arab oil countries announced last Monday in Vienna that they would lift the embargo against shipments that they had imposed during the Middle East War because of United States support for Israel. Kissinger said it was his understanding that the embargo could be reimposed only by unanimous vote and that he did not consider such a reversal likely. Arab oil ministers are sched- uled to meet in Cairo on June 1 to review the situation. Kissinger called the clashes between Israel and Syria in the Goian Heights an inevitable result of friction in the region. He flatly dismissed any suggestions that Moscow had pro- voked Syria. ‘“‘We do not hold the Soviet Union responsible for the artillery exchanges now going on in the Golan Heights,”’ Kissinger said. On another subject, U.S. relations with Europe, Kissinger said he and President Nixon were not using ‘‘a form of black- mail’ in warning that Congress could decide to reduce the 315,- 000 American troops in Europe if there is not prompt agree- ment on political and economic cooperation across the Atlantic. He said the administration opposes congressional efforts by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and others to make sizeable cuts. But, he said, without cooperation ‘‘the isolationist trends we have described could become dominant.” Kissinger acknowledged that he is going to Moscow this weekend at a “more difficult time’’ in U.S.-Soviet relations. But he attributed the difficulty not to a change in Russia’s attitude toward detente, but to having to deal now with limits on sophis- ticated nuclear weapons and other technical matters that are ready for resolution precisely because detente is well under- way.

Surge in food, fuel prices ups living cost

WASHINGTON (AP) — The pace of inflation quickened in February with food and fuel prices pushing the cost of living up 1.3 per cent, the sec- ond biggest monthly jump since 1951, the government said today. The Labor Department said last month’s rise sent consumer prices 10 per cent higher than a year ago and marked the first-time since 1948 that the United States experienced double figure inflation. It was the highest 12-month in- crease in the cost of living since con- sumer prices rose by 10.2 per cent in the 12 months ending January 1948. Nearly half the February increase was attributed to higher food prices with the price of beef raising 7.5 per cent, the sharpest jump since a 9.6 per cent increase in June 1947. Gaso- line and other energy items were re- sponsible for about a fifth of last month’s increase in prices. The Consumer Price Index climb- ed last month to 141.5 of its 1967 average, meaning that it cost con- sumers $141.50 to buy the same amount of retail goods and services that $100 bought in 1967. While consumer prices continued their sharp rise, real spendable earn- ings of workers dropped another six- tenths of one per cent in February and were down 4.5 per cent from a year ago. This was the largest de- cline over a year since the govern- ment began keeping that statistic in 1964. The February price report showed inflation holding a firm grip across the economy. Feod prices rose 2.5 per cent; nonfood commodities, 1 per cent, and services seven-thets of 1 per cent. The Nixon administration has said it expects inflation to continue its sharp pace throughout the first half of the year before beginning to ease during the final six months. Director John T. Dunlop of the Cost of Living Council said Wednesday that Febru- ary’s surge in food prices would be followed by more moderate in- creases in March, April and May. “Our own estimate is that it will be the last month with a really poor record,’’ Dunlop said. Soaring gasoline and motor oil prices played a large part in the over-all increase in consumer prices last month, rising 5.3 per cent to a level 30.9 per cent above last Febru- ary. Fuel oil and coal jumped 3.8 per cent, the smallest increase in five months to a level 58.8 per cent high- er than a year ago. Average prices for gasoline alone increased 5.5 per cent. The average price for regular jumped 49.1 cents per gallon and for premium 5.27 cents per gallon. Prices of regular gasoline have now risen 22 per cent and premium gasoline 19.8 per cent since the Labor Department began publishing average prices four months ago after the start of the Arab oil embargo. Grocery prices — the major por- tion of the food index — jumped three per cent in February, substan- tially more than usual for the month. The price of restaurant meals and snacks — food away from home — was up seven-tenths of one per cent. The big increase in beef prices fol- see Food—page 2

Man held in attack on princess

LONDON (AP) — Ian Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court today and charged with at- tempted murder during an attempt to kidnap Princess Anne from her car in the heart of London Wednesday night. Ball, lean-faced and bearded, stood stiffly in the dock at the Bow Street Magistrate’s court, handcuffed to two detectives. He spoke only once during his 60-second appearance, saying in a London accent: “I want to apply for legal aid.”’ The court ordered him held for another hearing on March 28 on the charge of attempting to murder Princess Anne’s person- al bodyguard, Inspector James Beaton. Beaton was one of four persons wounded as the would-be kid- naper fired repeatedly at the royal limousine. The others were Anne’s chauffeur and a policeman and a passing journalist who tried to intervene. Beaton and the policeman were reported in serious condition. The 23-year-old princess and her husband of five months, Capt. Mark Phillips, were not hurt. But police experts said the holes left by one of the bullets fired into the car indicated it passed between them, missing them by inches. A police informant said it was believed 11 shots were fired by the assailant. Experts were studying two revolvers found at the scene. They said five shots had been fired from one and six from the other. Authorities said earlier only six shots were fired. Police also found in the white Ford that Ball rented for the evening a typewritten ransom demand addressed to Queen Elizabeth II, Anne’s mother, along with three pairs of hand- cuffs, a driver’s license and envelopes addressed to two compa- nies. Officials declined to disclose any further details of the discov- eries. But the Daily Telegraph said the letter asked for a $2.3 million ransom, and the Daily Mail said it was full of wild rav- ings about alleged injustices. Police said Ball had no fixed address. Ftllowing the attack, there was speculation that it was the work of Irish nationalists, but the police said they believed the motive was not political. The gunman was overpowered by police from Buckingham Palace, 150 yards away from the royal limousine. The attack was the first against any member of the British royal family since 1936 when a man threw a loaded revolver in front of King Edward VIII. The royal family occasionally has received death threats, but is not normally surrounded by heavy security arrangements. Police gave this account of the attack on the princess: The queen’s only daughter and the army officer she married last November were returning from a showing of a documen- tary film about 8 p.m. when a white Ford forced the limousine to a stop on the Mall, the ceremonial avenue leading to the pal- ace. A man got out of the Ford and began shooting, hitting Alex Callender, the royal chauffeur, and Inspector Beaton and shat- tering the front and rear windows of the limousine. Beaton tried to fire back, but his gun jammed. The man also shot Constable Michael Hills, on foot patrol nearby, and journalist Brian McConnell when they tried to intervene. Hills managed to get off a warning on his waslkie- talkie before he collapsed. Anne, her lady-in-waiting, Rowena Brassey, and Capt. Phil- lips, stayed in the back of the limousine until more police ar- rived to rescue them. One eyewitness said the gunman shook the door in a vain attempt to get in. ‘They were very brave,”’ said eyewitness Sandt Scott. ‘‘Mark had his arm around her in a very protective sort of way.”’ The princess telephoned the news of her escape to her par- ents, who are on a State visit to Indonesia, and to her elder brother, Prince Charles, who is serving with the frigate Jupiter on the west coast of the United States. Anne is fourth in line of succession to the throne, after Charles and their two younger brothers, Prince Andrew, 14, and Prince Edward, 10.

In an ‘announcement to com- mitteernen and farmers: in Tay- lor County last week Carl Seil- ers, president of lowa Associa- tion.‘of Farmer-Elected Com- mitteemeén, reports: - “The future of ASCS as we have known it. is hanging in a balance. Some. Department of Agriculture people want to close or combine many of our offices. {t is the opinion of many people that combining, 2, 3, 4 or more offices would completely wreck the Committee System. For more than 30 years the 100ASCS Offices in. lowa have been suc- cessful in any task they’ve been given, These include the Ever Normal Granary, the Feed Grain and Set-Aside Programs, the: Facility Loan Program and many others with whicn you are ' familiar. Our entire State has benefited from Programs ad- ministered through ASCS. “| think you feel as { do that: the next .10 year's are uncertain.

These reasons and. more that you can, think of are why we should do everything in our power to con- tinue a Service Center-for every county in the State.”

2. The... Hamilton. -> Memori Youth .,Fellowship. .received letter recently from ‘a family. -in St. Louis, Mo., who found a bottle along the Mississippi riv- er whichhadbeen released from. Nebraska City in 1969, report: Pastor Larry Secor. : A’ group of Sunday School chitdren with the Pastor Wal- ter. Ortmann, farmerly of Bed- ford, prepared baby foodbottles with Gospel messages and a form to return to the sender. The bottles were sealed with wax and released inthe ‘’Mighty Mo." near Nebraska City. The young people remember receiving many replies during the following months. The most recent reply came from the Bill Noonan family of St. Louis, who were walking along the Missis- sippi River about three or four: miles south of St. Louis. Mrs. Noonan said they occasionly went walking elong the river with her younger brother who lost his young wife last fall. It was on March.2, 1974, that while on such a walk they found the bottle containing the mes- sage and returned the enclosed form to the youth group here. The Missionary Church youth were amazed that abottle would still be found intact, but trust that the mess: brought some additional comfort and encour- agement to the finders. .

Announce New Program For Farm Pond Stocking

The State Conservation Com- mission is now embarking ona farm pond fish stocking pro- gram to replace -the program formerly offered by the U.S. Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife through the loca! SCS offices. .This .new program is designed to improve the quality of the fishery end to.en- hance the overall wildtife habi- tat around the pond. Melvin Moe, unit wildlife bi- ologist-for the Stste Conserva- tion. Commission is responsible for the program. in this county. yineviries about the program ‘should be directed to.him atthe “SCS Building, R.A. :3, Mt. Ayr, lows 60654. He ‘will inspect. ponds to determine if they meet the minimum — requirements called for by this program. The genere!’ requiremonts are thet the: pond be at least 1/2 acre in surface area, at least 8 feet deep, fenced to exclude tive- stock, and that it hes not con- tained water for more than one year unless it has been.chemi- cally renovated to remove alt fish. ‘This last irement is included to insure that there are no. fish in the pond prior to stocking, since stocking would be of no benefit in a pond al- ready containing fish. roved ponds will be steck- ed ith 100 channel catfish and 1000 biuegills per acre this fall and 100. largemouth bass per acre in the spring of 1975. Besides providing the fish, the biologist will also offer techni- cal assistance on managing the fishery. and on the improve- ment of wildlife habitat.

On The Boom

Hobbs and Lea County is experiencing a low key boom, it’s no boom in the sense of the 1930's, ora surge after World Was 2, but nevertheless there is a boom. Many nights on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day there is a scarcity of motel rooms which is most unusual this time of the year and especially since there is an energy crisis and tourists are not moving so freely as in past years. The reason: There are several of them but the most important is the number of people who are coming to the county and headquarter in Hobbs tending to business in the oil industry. There is such a demand for oil field workers, some of the companies are taking on women for roustabout work, and reports keep increasing of Mexican Nationals who are put to work if they have a Social Security card and most of them today are wise enough as soon as they make it across the border to get someone to fill out a blank for Social Security and since there is no place on the application blank that asks if you are a citizen of the United States, they violate no law when they give a new address in this country. Employers have learned to ask no questions, just accept the Social Security card and many are quick to say the Mexican workers are good workers, willing to work long hours. Sales tax paid to the city of Hobbs in February amounted to $136,000, this is another good measure for Our economy. Real estate is selling fast at inflated prices. Rentals are hard to come by and there are very few places offered to rent. Most of the apartment houses are full, and when they have vacancies, they are quickly taken up. But you haven’t seen anything yet. As the weather warms, there will be more and more increase in oil and gas activity. And more and more people will be coming to Hobbs. Retirees continue to come and look over our city and many of them are returning to live out their last years. They are quickly moving into the community life and becoming active in their way. Many are contributing not only to our economy, but enrich the lives of those they mix and mingle with. _ While other areas are losing population, Hobbs and | ea County are aainina.

A Sad State

Talk to any employer of two or more people and they will tell you a sad story of the difficulties they have in keeping a staff or crew. Take a look at the Welfare rolls at the State Office and you will find many people signing up for weekly dole at their former employers expense since workers in New Mexico pay no percentages of the tax that keeps the Unemployment checks going forth. Many of those on welfare are abled bodied females with children who could work. Many of them are working. Only last week we heard of one who was working mornings for four different housewives but she didn’t want the Welfare Dept. to know it. In recent months two elderly women with beautiful homes have been forced to abandon them because although they were able to pay for help to stay with them, neither were able to get help and couldn't stay alone. In both instances checks were made for help from the employment office and the welfare department. They did not have anyone registered that wanted a live in job and under our present rules of doling out welfare and Unemployment they can’t be forced to take a job they do not want. There is something very, very wrong with a system which will dole out money by the week and by the month to people who are able to work but refuse to do so because they won't accept the jobs that are open. We believe both Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. Harold Runnels could better serve this state, if they would pay a little attention to the things that effect us right here at home instead of going off all unwound on changing the conditions of the world.

CARGO MOVES FAST IN OREGON GOP

SEASIDE ORE. Former New Mexico Dave Cargo is already in Oregonian politics. One of his first stops after moving from New Mexico last week was the annual Dorchester Con- ference gathering at Seaside. The two time governor of New Mexico was quoted as saying Oregon and New Mexico are poles apart on energy conservation practices. He said Oregon had taken a leadership role in energy conservation while New Mexico has resisted such measures. He said New Mexico’s resistance ranges from high settings of therm- ostats in state buildings to reluctance against lowering speed limits on highways.

Free Market Energy Pricing SPE Says

national commitment, free market pricing for energy products, and the total application of the nation’s technological capability are essential ingredients in developing a program to insure the goal of energy self-sufficiency for the United States.” Donald G. Russell, 1974 President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, expressed the issues recently in Dallas at the annual meeting of the American Institute’ of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum’ Engineers. Russell is General Manager of Information and Computer Services with Shall Oil Co. in Houston, ‘“*While we are all preoccupied with the current problems of obtaining sufficient gasoline for our automobiles, energy to power industries, and to heat homes,”’ said Russell, “‘the only positive long-term solution to long lines at service stations is removal of imposed allocation and price controls on all energy resources. While allocation programs” and _ price roll-backs might make some of us feel better temporarily, such action would inevitably insure even longer lines, reduced availability of supplies, and higher prices for energy products.” The new SPE President said, ‘“‘Energy — self-- sufficiency by 1980 is an extremely noble but highly unlikely possibility in a realistic sense. But only through a massive commitment by the general public, the government, and industry, can the United States hope to achieve a national goal of energy self-sufficiency at any point in the foreseeable future. “We must recognize that the energy requirements of this nation will continue to rise even in the face of the energy shortage and the voluntary actions taken by the Ameriean public to conserve energy,’’ Russell said. “We must not kid ourselves about the issue of self-sufficiency. In my opinion, achieving this goal is achieved, but that the nation is constantly improving its energy producing capability. Short-term, we must recognize that the U.S. will continue to be dependent on imports of fuel to a substantial degree.”’ Russell stated, ‘““The road to energy self-sufficiency is dependent on two factors--conservation aimed at achieving less demand coupled with the increased effectiveness of the petroleum and other energy industries to secure new domestic fuel production to increase supply--and both are the results of more realistic prices for energy products. ‘‘Conservation,’’ Russell stated, “‘is essentially the ob of individuals.

OVERSEAS AID FUND APPEAL

Assistance for disaster victims and_ the _ needy overseas will be the focus for the annual American Catholic Overseas Aid Fund appeal March 18-24 in the Catholic Diocese of El Paso. The appeal aids the work of Catholic Relief Services, the Catholic Seaman’s Club and the Refugee and Migration Office of the U. S. Catholic Conference, according to the _ Rev. Robert Getz, diocesan director for the appeal. One major project of Catholic Relief Services is providing food, clothing and medical aid to refugees in Vietnam and Cambodia. “There are millions of persons in those countries needing aid, ’’ Father Getz said, Earthquakes in Nicaragua and Mexico, drought in West Africa and floods in Pakistan during 1973 taxed the abilities of Catholic Relief Services which in addition to refugee aid in Southeast Asia maintains more than 1,000 self-help development projects in 50 countries around the globe. Meanwhile, last year the Refugee and Migration Office aided thousands of immigrants to the United States and helped reunite many families. The office maintains a division in El Paso to handle immigration cases along the U.S.-Mexico ) Sa: eae

Stokes keeps puffin’ under attack

Crese associates of Bay Area Rapid Transil District General Manager Billy . Richard Stokes have often said that as long ‘as he is pulfing his pipe he’s okay, but- when fie stops he’sintroubdle. Tt is one way that reporters in the first row of BART's Oakland board room have been . able to assess the mood of the man wha, des- pile what his crilics say, has been the most responsible for the puliding of the rapid tran- sitsyslem, ~ Bill Stokes is puffing his pipe these days bul i is'not known baw long he can wilhstand the mounting pressure for him to ieave BART af- ler more than 16 years of devotion to building it. Legislative Analyst A. Alan’ Post. Tuesday that BART directors fire Stokes, and Alameda County Supervisor ‘Jo- seph Bort ‘of Berkeley has suggested that Stokes voluntarily resign. ‘The 50-year-old son of an Oklahoma grocer last week survived a sharply divided board's second atLempt to fire him in less than a year. It was by a 7-5 margin that Stokes is stil BART general manager, the same margin as the vote of last summer. The most recent move to fire him was tied lo a complicated motkm requesting added slate support, for BART. But Director Daniel C. Helix, who- vated against Stokes last year and for him this year, said he couldn't support such a motion. He said he'd vote to fire him if it weré an up or ckren vole. Bekx is mayor of Concord and is running for the Democratic nomination for Congress in “a Contra Costa County district where Stokes’ and BART are not too popular. E The board thus apparently is equally divided between pro-and anti-Stokes directors, and how long it might take for a-vote fo change tither way Is bne of the biggest questions arvund BART these days. The others? ‘How long will it lake Stokes to become fed up with a divided board and his critics and eave the district? Where would he go? When? "E don't know what I'll do,” he told a re- porter after the vote last week. . Stokes is keenly aware of the divisions on the boar—one BART observer noted once ‘that “Bill always has béen able to count to seven” —and state legislators critical of Stokes agree that he has responded well to, his con- stituency, the directors. “L have always operated with the assumip- ‘tion that seven votes constitules the policy af . this district," Stokes told Director Quentin Kopp of San Francisco on Sept. 11 when Kopp questioned a letter Stokes sent on behalf of the board asking Gov.. Ronald Reagan to, veto a bill providing for direct election of BART di- rectors. Reagan did not veto the bill, and voters in June will be asked If they approve direct clec- linn. If 50, the first nine direclors of the elect ed board will be chosen in November. It is believed by many political figures that Stokes would he the target of those seeking election to the board. 5 Stokes is an intensely private person. He rarely displays ernotion when his competence is questioned at board meetings or in Sacra- mento. ‘A hard-driving Tormer newspaper reporter tale has helped lead ‘a'renaissance’in public tion, he frankly admits that he fen t like totalk about himself, Ane, “You do the best, job you can.

One of the most telling i isa pictiire-framed quotation of a statement someone sent him.

But four persons, including the chauffeur, Anne's personal bodyguard, a policeman and a Newsman were wounded before a policeman brought down the gunman, described as a tall, thin Finglishman, with a flying tackte. “Tt was an athempt to kidnap the princess,” British Home Secretary Roy Jenkins told Parliament. ‘Ihe attempt did not succeed and neither the princess or Capt. Phillips were burt.'* It was the first assault on a member of the Brilish royal family in 35 years. The ambush occurred on the broad’ Mall about 200 yards from Buckingham Palace at & “p.m. 12 p.m. edt) as Anne and Mark were driving back to the palace alter a private ~ showing af a film about equestrian training —their favorite sport. Police said a white Ford forced the princess’ Rolls Reyce limousine to the curb and the gunman jumped out and began firing. The ‘wounded men were the chauffeur, identified only as Mr. Callender; Anne's body- guard, Inspector James Beaton; policeman Michael Hills: amd Brian McConnell, a reporter for the Sun newspaper. Beaton, Callender and Hills were all hospitalized in serious condition. Sammy Scott, 25, a young London woman, was driving behind the royal limousine when the gunman’s car forced it to the curh, ““T. suddenly- heard what'l thought ‘were toy -pistol_ shots,""-she said, and stopped and got out _ of hér car just in Hime to see. McConnell, who had just stepped out of a taxi in front of her, fall wounded ta the ground, Miss Scott said another man then was shot and as she bent to try to tend to him, a third. wean walked up to her with "blood all aver ina.” She said the royal couple were crouched inside Lhe limousine und the gunman, a man in araincoal, ‘very tall and...quite thin", was on the other side af the ear, “shaking thé door madly and firing.” “Prineess Anne and Mark tried to gel out of the car on the pavement (sidewalk) side," she said. “The gunman -was on the.other side of the car. And he saw that they were trying ta gel out of the other side. They had the door open and Mark had just gol md and Anne was following. and he came shooting around the front of the car and went to fire the gun at {hem again. “They scrambled back indo the car and about six or seven policemen by. that time had arrived and they converged on the gunman and got him down." : Miss Seott said she rin up id the car and asked the princess, “Are you all right, Luv?” “She just looked up and satd, ‘Yes, I'm fine, thank you.” And Mark had his arm around her in a very protective sort of way. And then they gol out the other side and were hustled into another car,” Miss Scott said. “They were very brave.” . Police said the gunman tried 1a Tun into nearby St. James’ Park, the royal woods adjoining the palace. Police constable Peter Edward pursued him and brought him down with a flying football tackte.

Secret Report

Nixon was served on the White House last Friday. Deadline for compliance is Monday. The spokesman declined to say what the subpoena demand- ed. Secret Report The subpoena announcement came as an attorney for H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman asked the U. S. court of appeals to prevent the house judiciary committee from receiving a se- cret grand jury report on Pres- ident Nixon’s handling of Water- gate because it would kill a fair trial for his clients. John Wilson told the court it should halt Judge John Sirica’s order sending the report to the committee, which is investigat- ing whether grounds exist to im- peach Nixon. The report was gathered by the Watergate grand jury that indicted Haldeman, Ehrlichman and five other top presidential aides or associates on March 1. The grand jury asked Sirica to send it to the committee. Wilson said Sirica’s order should be delayed for full review. Sirica refused Wednesday to delay sending the report to the house until the appeals court had ruled. He did postpone ac- tion until 3 p.m. CDT to give the defendants a chance to appeal. Jaworski Request | Jaworski disclosed on Feb. 14 in a letter to Sen. James East- land (D-Miss.), chairman of the senate judiciary committee, that President Nixon had re- fused to give him material he considered vital to his investiga- tion. Jaworski told Eastland that. the material Nixon had refused to supply included 27 tapes sought for the investigation of the Watergate cover-up as well as evidence relating to inves- | tigations of contributions from the dairy industry and the activ- ities of the so-called White. House plumbers unit. The President has contended. in several recent public appear- ances that he has given Ja- worski all the material he needs: to complete his investigation.

July when former special prose-. cutor Archibald Cox sub-| poenaed tapes of nine presiden- tial conversations.

POLICE WALK OUT IN C.R. Food, Fuel Push Living Cost Higher

Ty seweseevuse Swe 6L eel | ULI pace of inflation quickened in February with food and fuel prices pushing the cost of living up 1.3 percent, the second big- gest monthly jump since 1951, the government said Thursday. The labor department said last month’s rise sent consumer prices 10 percent higher than a year ago and marked the first time since 1948 that the U. S. experienced double figure infla-, tion. It was the highest 12-month increase in the cost of living since cOnsumer prices rose by 10.2 percent in the 12 months ending January 1948. Price of Beef Nearly half the February in- crease was attributed to higher food prices with the price of beef rising 7.5 percent, the sharpest jump since a 9.6 per- cent increase in June 1947. Gaso- line and other energy items were responsible for about a/| fifth of last month’s increase in| prices. The Consumer Price Index. climbed last month to 141.5 of its 1967 average, meaning that it cOst consumers $141.50 to buy the same amount of retail goods and services that $100 bought in’ 1967. While consumer prices con-. tinued their sharp rise, real spendable earnings of workers) dropped another 0.6 percent lay February and were down 4.5 percent from a year ago. This was the largest decline over a year since the government began keeping that statistic in 1964. The February price report showed inflation holding a firm grip across the economy. Food prices rose 2.5 percent; nonfood commodities, 1 percent, and: serviges 0.7 percent. ‘Moderate Increases The Nixon administration has | said. it expects inflation to con: tinue its sharp pace throughout the first half of the year before beginning to ease during the final six months. Director John Dunlop of the Cost of Living Council said Wednesday that February's surge in food prices | would be followed by more mod- erate increases in March, April and May. “Our own estimate is that it will be the last month with a re-| ally poor record,”’ Dunlop said.

Charge Ballot Reform Stalled by Democrats

WASHINGTON — Common Cause, self-styled citizens’ ‘lobby, said Thursday that Dem- ocratic congressional candidates received more than $1 million from special interest groups in 1972. It accused the Democrats of stalling electoral reform. | The foot-dragging charge was ‘in a full-page advertisement in Thursday's Washington Post, appearing on the same day as the party’s annual fund-raising ‘dinner, — Common Cause said that, de- spite Democratic victories in re- cent special congressional elec- tions, the party was “in danger of making a fatal error’’ — mis- judging the mood of voters in the wake of Watergate. ‘*The Democrats control congress,’ the ad said. “The Republicans have Watergate to answer for.

Charged in Royal Ambush

LONDON (AP)—lan Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court ‘Thursday and charged with at- tempted murder during an at- tempt to kidnap Princess Anne from her car in the heart of London Wednesday night. Ball, lean-faced and bearded, stood stiffly in the dock at the Bow street magistrate’s court, handcuffed to two detectives. He spoke only once during his 60-second appearance, saying in a London accent: “I want to apply for legal aid.”’ The court ordered him held for another hearing on March 28 on the charge of attempting to murder Princess Anne’s per- sonal bodyguard, Inspector James Beaton. Fired Repeatedly Beaton was one of four per- sons wounded as the would-be kidnaper fired repeatedly at the royal limousine. The others were Anne's chauffeur and a policeman and a passing jour- nalist who tried to intervene. Beaton and the policeman were reported in serious condition. The 23-year-old princess and her husband of five months, ‘Capt. Mark Phillips, were not ‘hurt. But police experts said ‘the holes left by one of the bul- ‘ets fired into the car indicated it passed betwen them, miss- ing them by inches. A police informant said it was believed 11 shots were fired by the assailant. Ex- _perts were studying two re- volvers found at the scene. _ They said five shots had been fired from one and six from the other. Authorities said earlier only six shots were fired. | Police also found in the white Ford that Ball rented for the evening a typewritten ransom demand addressed to Queen Elizabeth II, Anne’s mother, along with three pairs of hand- cuffs, a driver’s license and envelopes addressed to two companies. | Officials declined to disclose any further details of the dis- coveries. But the Daily Tele- graph said the letter asked for a $2.3 million ransom, and the Daily Mail said it was full of wild ravings about alleged in- justices. | Not Political Police said Bal! had no fixed address. Following the attack, ‘there was speculation that it was the work of Irish national- ists, but the police said they be- lieved the motive was not poli- tical. The gunman was overpow- ered by police from Bucking- ham palace 150 yards away from the royal limousine. Witnesses said the gunman — ran into St. James park. then | _ turned and leveled a pistol at the police. One officer, Peter Edwards, 21, brought him down with a flying tackle, and the other officers rushed _ in te help Edwards. ! The attack was the first against any member of the British royal family since 1936 when a man drew a loaded re- volver in front of King Edward VIII. The royal family oceasion- ally has received death threats but is not normally surround- ed by heavy security arrange- ments. Forced To Stop Police gave this account of the attack on the princess: Princess Anne and her hus- band Mark Phillips were re- turning from a showing of a documentary film around 8 p.m, | when a white Ford forced the limousine to a stop on the mall, the ceremonial avenue leading to the palace.

Bars Farm Tax Data Inspection

| WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres- ‘ident Nixon Thursday revoked ‘permission for the agriculture department to inspect income tax returns of farmers as part of its statistics-gathering opera- ‘tions. Nixon had granted such au- thority, a subject of controversy in the farm belt, in January 1973, In announcing the revocation, Deputy White House Press Sec- retary Gerald Warren said the department never actually got around to looking at the tax re- turns of any farmers. He said Nixon revoked tax- inspection permission on the recommendation of Vice- president Ford. The President had instructed Ford to look into the matter at the initial meeting last month of the new domestic council committee on privacy,

C.R. Judge: Must Obey Subpoenas

Sver Kerrie News A Cedar Rapids judge said Thursday morning any police officer who fails to respond to a subpoena from his court will be ‘jailed just like “any other witness who fails to respond.”’ | Here is the text of the state- iment by District Associate | Judge Anthony Scolaro: “It has been brought to my jattention that there may be ‘blue flu or a walk-out at the ‘Cedar Rapids police depart- ‘ment. “Insofar as matters of mis- |demeanors and indictable mis- demeanors and _ preliminary matters on felonies are con- cerned, any officer who does not ‘respond to a validly issued sub- ‘poena in this court, I will not treat any differently than any other witness who does not re- spond, _ “T will direct the county attor- ney to file immediate contempt proceedings and issue an imme- ‘diate warrant for the arrest of the officer. When asked whether there is any evidence any officers would not show up in court, or whether this was merely a precautionary measure, Scolaro said, “It is a precautionary measure, | want them to be fully cognizant of what the result would be.”’ | Officers reportedly failed to show up to testify for three cases Thursday morning, but there was no basis for contempt ‘action because the cases were continued by agreement of both parties’ counsel. Two officers did appear at 1:30 p.m. for a case in which they had been subpoened, but they were dismissed after the case was settled or continued.

Action Follows Meeting Of 100 at Police Station

| -@eer KRapics News | A number of Cedar Rapids police officers walked off their ‘jobs Thursday morning, but ‘were ordered to return to work immediately or be fired. | Thirteen of 17 patrolmen walked out in protest of an ordi- nance passed by the city council Wednesday which makes it mandatory that officers answer questions and undergo lie detec- ‘tor tests in connection with the ‘current grand jury police inves- tigation. The action by the officers oc- curred after a 90-minute meet- ing attended by about 100 of the 137-man force. At mid-morning, the city council responded to the walk- out in a hard-line statement fol- lowing a closed-door session be- tween councilmen, the city at: torney, and police and sheriff's department officials. Ultimatum Mayor Donald Canney saic Acting Chief Wallace John: son will order the policemen tc return to work immediately 01 be discharged unless they have a certified excuse from a physi jcian that they are ill. The of \ficers off the job had reportec ‘they were “‘sick.”’ || Safety Commissioner James Steinbeck said 13 patrolmen | were off duty at midday, leav. jing only four stili on the job Nine of the ten men on patro! | shift, three of the seven on traf. fic, and one patrolman assigned to the detective bureau left their jobs or did not report for duty. Most detectives and members of the command staff are work- jing, with some reassigned to '|patrol duties. | Canney said the city will de finitely have adequate protec tion. “There have been provision: {made for an extended period o time, if necessary,’’ he said The city had no advance warn ing of the walkout, and council ‘men have received no commu nication from the officers wh are not on duty. | State Troopers | At 11:10 a.m., Gov. Rober Ray issued an order directing 20 state troopers to report fol duty in Cedar Rapids. | The order called for the troopers to assemble immedi: ‘ately and go directly to Cedar ‘Rapids. They are under the di- ‘rection of Capt. Lyle Dickinson, district supervisor. A spokesman for the governor ‘said the order was issued fol- lowing a conversation between ‘Ray and Mayor Don Canney, in which the mayor asked for as- sistance. Troopers are not arbitrarily sent into a community, the spokesman said, unless request- ed by municipal officials. He said the troopers’ activi- ‘ties in Cedar Rapids will be co- ordinated by State Safety Commissioner Cnaries Larson and the mayor, for as long as the Officers are needed. Linn county Sheriff Walter Grant said Thursday morning the county and city of Cedar Rapids have a ‘‘compact agree- ment” to help each other when- ever either one needs help. | “Will Keep Agreement”’ - “Naturally, we would abide by that agreement,’’ Grant said. _ He added, according to state law, ‘‘the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the county, under the county attor- ney.” | Grant said he was informed of the walk-off shortly before 10:30 ‘a.m., was still in the prelimi- nary stages of planning cover- ‘age for the city and did not ‘know how many officers will be sent to the city. | “I assume that the command ‘Staff is still stable ...

The sheriff said he has 34 paid deputies, two part-time jailers, and an ‘‘adequate number” of unpaid deputies. He would not specify the number of unpaid deputies.

Students with learning disability to have chance at work experience

Students who for one reason. or another have been identified as having a learning disability will have an opportunity to participate in a work experience program next school year, if the community is willing to provide jobs for the students, according to Virginia Malmberg, special needs coor- dinator. $8,658 has been approved by the department of public instruction to be used in the special needs program. “We started out by investigating the possibility of work experience for students with some disability that make it heard for them to excel in school or in the various vocational programs offered in school”, said Mrs. Malmberg. There are five categories of special need students who have been identified in the present Student body.

Any of these things makes it hard for a student to remain in school,” explained Mrs. Malmberg. “It is hoped that by providing work experience for the students, they will stay in school rather than dropping out.

NO GRANTS

Apparently letters in the project file indicate that HUD referred the city to FHA and after FHA re- fused, an application went back to HUD. Shive said that there is no federal money available never was and never will be unless a new pro- gram is inaugurated. The council had the impression that the project was waiting for the freeze to be lifted from federal funds. In fact, Paul McMahan, who formerly handled engineering work for the city, had told the council as late as January that the project was ‘‘go’’ except for the freeze on funds. The $180,000 project involves construction of new 8-inch water mains and a new well. City officials planned to meet with former mayor, Gus Norlin, in an attempt to unravel the mystery. However, Mayor James Townsend said he was certain Norlin had the same impression as the current council. (cont. on page A-15)

Doesn’t qualify for water grant

A wait by the city of Monticello for approval for federal funding on a water project may prove to be a wait in vain. Research done by Jim Shive, new city engineer, indicates that Monticello is not eligible for a grant and never has been. Shive questioned the council about the project at Monday night’s regular council meeting. He asked how or why the project had been submitted to the federal government for funding. He said that HUD has no jurisdiction for water im- provement grants of this size. FHA has jurisdiction for communities under, 5,500, but only if the com- munity is in financial trouble. © A letter dated November 1972 from FHA stated that the project was not eligible for funds because the city had enough money to do it themselves.

c.f ‘pipe lines To

How it affected other people, I don’t know. But I felt, upon hearing and reading of the deliberate omission of the Texas Railroad Commission from the proposed new Texas constitution was unwarranted, and will prove to be a big mistake. Somebody in Austin is playing politics, as usual, and the charges by some of the legislators at the constitutional convention about the RRC’s failure to head off the energy crisis with better planning are utterly ridiculous’ ee * In my humble opinion, out of all the agencies of Texas or U. S. government, the Railroad Commission is probably least responsible for the current energy crisis. In fact, the conservation measures on which the commission has always insisted are probably responsible for a delay until now of the arrival of the crisis! How much of a crisis we have, no one can say. To blame it on the oi! industry is short-sighted and unfair — and to saddle the RRC with the blame is even more irresponsible. *_* & * Leaving out specific mention of the RRC from the new constitution will not necessarily kill the chances for approval of the new document by the people next fall, but it’s one of several things that certainly won't help any! I hope to be wrong, because Texas certainly does need a new constitution, but I think it’s very likely that the constitution hasn't got much chance of adoption. There will be just enough groups scat- tered around the state who are opposed to one or more of its features (and which features will vary with which group is looking at the issue), that the necessary majority for approval will be nigh im- possible to put together when the people go to the polls ** *& * Phil, you've been missed, kid.
