Pauls Valley and Cushing Men Die In Road Mishaps

2 ee eS eeeee ee A Pauls Valley man and a Cushing man died in separate accidents on state roads Wednesday. The deaths raised Okla- homa's 1974 traffic toll to 122, compared with 119 al this time last year. John Roscoe Pratt, 58, of Pauls Valley was fatally in- jured in a two-«ar collision Wednesday afternoon in Mid- west City. A car driven by Floyd Irvin Jr., 21, of Cushing went out of control on Oklahoma 51 about four miles east of Stillwater and crashed into a culvert, the Highway Patrol said. He died of head injuries. The patrol said light sleet was beginning to fall at the time of the crash, but that it was not the cause of the accident.

Trial in Recess: Juror III

NEW YORK (AP) — Because of the illness of a juror, the criminal consipiracy trial of former Atty. Gen. John N. Mit- chell and ex-Commerce Secre- tary Maurice H. Stans was re- cessed today until Monday. Federal Judge Lee P. Gag- liardi announced that Violet Humbert had been taken ill early this morning and was hospitalized. He said by agree- ment of the prosecutor and de- fense lawyers, the trial was re- cessed until after the weekend. If Mrs. Humbert is unable to continue, there are six alter- nate jurors available. The nature of Mrs. Hum- bert’s illness was not revealed. The announcement came as the government was prepared to call John W. Dean III, ousted White House counsel, as its next witness. Dean was reported to be in the building, but he never ap- peared in court. Groundwork for Dean’s ap- pearance was laid by former Securities and Exchange Com- mission chairman 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. 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 ac- cused of seeking to head off an SEC complaint against Vesco, in return for the latter’s secret $200,000 cash contribution to President Nixon’s 1972 re-lec- tion campaign. Government interrogation of Casey focused almost entirely on Mitchell, with scant mention See TRIAL on page 3.

Kissinger Feels Oil Embargo Is Lifted for Good

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sec- retary of State Henry A. Kissin- ger today said he does not ex- pect the Arabs to’ reimpose their oil embargo against the United States and that he does not hold the Soviet Union re- sponsible for the outbreaks of fighting between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights. At a news conference in ad- vance of a trip to Moscow, Kis- singer said, ‘‘Both of us have an obligation to contribute to peace and both of us are ex- changing ideas on this sub- ject.” 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 U.S. support for Israel. Kissinger said it was his un- derstanding that the embargo could be reimposed only by unanimous vote and that he did not consider such a reversal likely. Arab oil ministers are scheduled to meet in Cairo on June 1 to review the situation. Kissinger called the clashes between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights an inevitable re- sult of friction in the region. He flatly dismissed any sug- gestions that Moscow had pro- voked Syria.

Other Documents Are Subpoenaed

WASHINGTON (AP) — The special Watergate prosecutor's office has subpoenaed addition- al documents from the White House, it was disclosed today. A spokesman for special prosecutor Leon Jaworski said the subpoena directed to Presi- dent Nixon was served on the White House last Friday. Dead- line for compliance is Monday. The spokesman declined to say what the subpoena de- manded, Earlier, James D. St. Clair, President Nixon's chief Water- gate lawyer, acknowledged in a television interview that a sub- poena had been received from the special prosecutor. St. Clair appeared on the NBC “'Today"’ show. Jaworski disclosed on Feb. 14 in a letter to Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee, that Nixon had refused to give him material he consid- ered vital to his investigation. 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 investi- gations of contributions from the dairy industry and the ac- tivities 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 investiga- tion, Nixon has said he has given the special prosecutor 19 tapes and some 700 documents. The subpoena issued Friday was the first one directed at the President by the special See DOCUMENTS on page 3.

Princess, Chay but 4 Otters Sot Man Charged in London Attack

LONDON (AP) — Ian Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court today 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. 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- lets fired into the car indicated it passed between them, miss- ing 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. Au- thorities 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 en- velopes addressed to two com- panies. 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 ravings about alleged in- justices. Police said Ball had no fixed address. Following the attack, there was speculation that it was the work of Irish nation- alists, but the police said they believed the motive was not po- litical. The gunman was over- powered by police from Buck- ingham 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 to help Edwards. The attack was the first against any member of the British royal family since 1936 when a man threw a loaded re- volver in front of King Edward VIII. The royal family occa- sionally has received death threats but is not normally sur- rounded by heavy security ar- rangements. Police gave this account of the attack on the princess: The queen's only daughter and the army officer she mar- ried last November were re- turning from a showing of a documentary film about 8 p.m. when a white Ford forced the limousine to a stop on the Mall, the ceremonial avenue leading to the palace. A man got out of the Ford and began shooting, hitting Alex Callender, the roya! chauf- feur, and Inspector Beaton and shattering the front and rear windows of the limousine. Beat- on 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 walkie- talkie before he collapsed. Anne, her lady-in-waiting, Ro- wena Brassey, and Capt. Phil- lips, stayed in the back of the limousine until more police ar- rived to rescue them. One eye- witness said the gunman shook the door in a vain attempt to get in. The princess telephoned the See LONDON on page 3.

Official Reports No Cause for Alarm in Water Radium Find

ge ee ee ee eee Ottawa county Sanitarian Rex Netherton said today that the radiation levels in three community water supplies and one rural water district are higher than the U.S. Health Dept. standard, adding: ‘‘These standards are set extremely low on purpose, and the radiation present in the drinking water from these supplies does not present any immediate health hazard.”’ The water supplies named today by Robert L. Craig, director of the radiation protection division of the state Health Dept., as containing radiation levels above the U.S. standard are those at Afton, Fairland, Oaks in Delaware county, Ottawa county rural water district No. 2 (Narcissa area), and Welch rural district No. 1. The highest radiation level has been found in the Afton water supply. It contains 9.8 picocuries of radium per liter (approximately one gallon), while the U.S. Health Dept. standard is 3.0 picocuries per liter, Netherton said. “The existence of this radiation has been known for about five years and an in- tensive study of water supplies in the area, including Grand Lake, has been conducted in the past six months and is con- tinuing,’’ Netherton said. He emphasized repeatedly, however, that no apparent health hazard has resulted from the slightly higher radiation level. “‘This radiation has been present, as far as we can tell at this time, for as long as these water supplies have been in use, and there have been no noticeable or reported ill ef- fects.”’ Water samples have been taken on a monthly basis from county waters since September of last year in an intensified. study of the radiation, and area food samples have been sent off for analysis in cooperation with the Ottawa county OSU Extension service office. “The water supplies affected are from wells drilled into the Roubidoux sand strata about 1,200 feet below the surface,” Netherton said. ‘Water sup- plies taken from surface water have not produced any significant radiation test results.”’ Also, the radiation seems to be confined to the southwest corner of Ottawa county, in part of Craig county served by the Welch rural district, and the extreme southern area of Delaware county in the Oaks area. ‘‘Water from Grand Lake, the Neosho and Spring rivers and all surface water supplies in the county have been tested, and we find that the only water con- taining the higher radiation is that from deep wells drilled into the Roubidoux strata in the southwest part of our county,” Netherton said. “We can’t say the radiation comes from that particular level or sand strata, however,” he added. ‘‘Most of these wells are uncased or cased only to a very shallow level and could pick up seepage from any level between the surface and the Roubidoux sand.” The source of the radiation remains a mystery as the county and state studies con- tinue. ‘We've tested water supplies throughout the county, but all except these few are at or below the U.S. Health Dept. stan- dard,’ Netherton said. ‘The radiation apparently comes from some natural source, but this will take considerably more study before we can pinpoint ag He ruled out underground See WATER on page 3.

New Rise in Living Costs

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 second big- gest monthly jump since 195], 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 fig- ure inflation. It was the highest 12-month increase in the cost of living since consumer prices rose by 10.2 per cent in the 12 months ending January 1948. Nearly half the February in- crease 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. Gasoline and other energy items were responsible for about a fifth of last month's in- crease 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 six-tenths of one per cent in February and were down 4.5 per cent 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 per cent; non- food commodities, 1 per cent, and services seven-tenths of 1 per cent. 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 fi- nal six months. Director John T. Dunlop of the Cost of Living Council said Wednesday that February's surge in food prices would be followed by more See COSTS on page 3.

Hall Inquiry Completion Set in May

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)— The federal grand jury investi- gation of Gov. David Hall was recessed unti] May today after testimony from steel contractor Allen Coles. The grand jury was not ex- pected to issue any indictments this month in connection with the Hall probe, but it is ex- pected to finish its investigation in the matter at its May ses- sion. Coles testified for more than an hour. He was the 14th wit- ness called during the current session. Coles was believed to have been questioned about tes- timony received earlier from Jack Graves, the architect on the state library building. Graves’ testimony before the grand jury was secret, but he told a Senate committee last month that he kicked back $15,- 000 of his $193,000 fee to Coles to help defray Hall's campaign deficit. Coles, who also appeared be- fore the Senate committee, con- firmed receiving the $15,000, but said Graves made it as a voluntary politica! contribution. The witnesses who testified Wednesday included con- tractors David Vaughn and Wil- liam Tankersley and Tulsa at- torneys Ollie Gresham, Ronald C. Bennett and Wendell W. Clark. Gresham is Hall's close friend and business associate. Bennett and Clark are mem- bers of Gresham's law firm. The trio also testified during the jury's January session. See HATT on nage %

Thank good- ness there was a waiting line and the trip was around the halter stake-out just once. Then on to a native cafe and trinket shop that looked out over the imaginary spot where waters from the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean Sea. The specialty of the house was hot :-.mint tea, which we tried, and which was delicious. It was served in a tall thick glass ‘. which was packed with fresh _ mint leaves over which the hot, sweet green tea is poured. Most refreshing. Then through a government . reforesting project, and into -. the city of Tanger itself. Heav- ily inhabited for the past 3000 years, that area had been liter- ally stripped of every living tree a long, long time ago. The _ State was using hundreds of hand laborers to replant thous- ands of acres to pines, for fu- ture generations. Incidently, all of the road construction we saw in Mor- occo was being done with picks and shovels and sledges to crush the larger rocks. No un- - employment there! ; Then into the casbah. Every coastal city in north Africa has its own casbah, which is in reality the old native quarter, usually thousands of years old, walled ten feet thick, and de- signed for defense. All streets are so narrow two camels or donkeys can hardly pass. Our bus stopped at the top of the casbah as the streets were too narrow for even a small foreign car, let alone a huge tourist bus, The Tanger native quarter is almost indescribable. We were rushed through into the central area where the old Sultan’s palace had been restored and opened to visitors. Then on , through a five-mile maze of narrow streets, beggars, barn- yard animals, dirty, sweaty, smelly natives pushing and shoving, street peddlers by the thousands shouting at you, bar gaining, selling, crippled kids, infested arms, runny faces, puf fed eyes, snake charmers, op- en air markets of every descrip. tion, including bakeries, butch- er shops, fruit stands, graneries spice stores, ali kinds of shops qwhere an infinite variety of nat ive goods and merchandise was sold and hawked and cried-- until finally the party burst out on top of the Casbah once . again, into sunlight and fresh :. air, and a somewhat more reas- ‘ onable amount of humanity. It was not unlike running * through a burning forest and across hot coals without gett- *. ing burned. The guides kept shouting to keep up, keep up-- "and up and down it was, over - thousands of steps along cob- bied streets, around single-file . .corners--most of it too dark to take pictures in, and too nar- row to see more than a few feet ahead. Water is so scarce it is sold ‘by peddlers, a flat brass cup full at a time, from goatskins gtrapped to their backs. We . ‘@idn’t try any, and plowed on i to the Rif Hotel, a modern structure seven blocks remove: from the exit from the old : galled town.

CARL BROWN CUTS LAWN

Another first of the season? Not to be outdone by Frank Stephens planting his potatoes ten days ago, Carl Brown re- ports he mowed his lawn Mar. 4. He says several passers-by stared at him rather question- ingly -- but he claims the grass really did need cutting.

Trophy case moves closer to reality

Since 1925, when the Ham- burg High School was first put into use at the present locat- ion, a trophy case was discuss- ed and discussed, each year, from time to time -- but noth- ing developed. Now, in 1974, the trophy case is again in the limelight and is getting brighter each day. As of this writing, there has been $2,141.81 donated to the trophy case fund and the total cost is $3,000, so you see we are very near our goal. If you would like to help, whether the amount is large or small, would you please send your contribution to Mrs. Jerry Watton, 2106 Bluff, Hamburg, lowa 51640. Note: Many of our alumni who have moved from Ham- burg and who have had a big hand in winning some of the trophies perhaps would like to give also.

HOME GAS GOING UP 45 CENT

Users of natural gas in Ham- burg will note an increase in their bills after next month, the city has been informed. People’s Gas Co. has noti- fied the city that effective April 6 the retail price of natural gas will be increased by .45 of one cent per thousand cu. ft. The new increased rate will be noted on all bills sent after April 23. The gas company said this is to catch up with three sepa- rate gas price raises passed along to them in recent months by their supplier, Nat- ural Gas Pipeline Co. Under provisions of an Iowa Com- merce Commission tariff filing, the company can, without hearing, pass along any increase in gas costs directly to the consumer. No estimate of how much this will increase the average cost of gas to the home owner was made.

Households ordered to abate nuisances

The city quit growling and showed its teeth at a special Council meeting Monday night, approving ‘‘cease and desist’’ notices to four Hamburg resi- dents. The offenses cited in letters to the four households includ- ed, among other things: dan- gerous sheds, junk, debris, bar- rels, three junk cars at one place, trailer loads of garbage, six cars in various stages of dis- repair at another, plus old tires and junk. Another householder was __ ordered to immediately get rid of his horses, hogs, and rabbits, kept in violation of city ordi- nance. All were given ten days to abate the nuisances, or face being brought to court, and the subsequent publicity. Councilmen say the number of complaints concerning yards full of a winter’s accumulation of unsightly or illegal items is growing, and that stronger measures are in order unless conditions at a number of other, as yet un-cited locat- ions, improves at once. Violators usually face fines of up to $100 a day for every day such nuisances are contin- ued, and will be brought be- fore the new magistrate court system, where fines have not been Haht.

Hearing on raising dike 2 ft. is Saturday

Witn spring rapidly ap- proaching, the Hamburg Levee Board, after announcing plans to improve the levee system last week, has moved quickly on to a public meeting. It has announced a public meeting on the subject will be held at the high school multi- purpose room this Saturday, Mar, 23, at 10 a.m. Purpose of the meeting is to gather sentiment from those persons protected by the levee as to whether an additional two feet should be built atop the present dike as added flood protection. Army engineers feel that changing conditions upstream make an additional two feet of height a feasable safety measure, and have approved construstion. They will pay for the actual work, but levee district property owners must pay for borrow pit right-of- way dirt. Cost is estimated at about $34,000 and would be spread out over a number of years on the tax rolls. While the average heicht would be raised about two feet, compaction in some spots will require an additional six inches or more of fill to restore the dike to a uniform top level. The current structure, start- ed in 1947, has held back Nishna flood waters on count- less occasions since its com- pletion, and has never been topped. Even the worst flood of them all, in 1952, did not go over the top, but came around its vulnerable (at that time) upper end near Thurman. Constriction of the river above and below Hamburg through construction of addit- ional farm levees, however, . have made the possibility of future floods topping present dike levels much greater, say the engineers.

Percival to lose school

To make a long story short, the Sidney School Board last week dropped the other shoe, and voted to close the Percival school at the end of the cur- rent year. All students would be trans- ferred to the buildings in Sid- ney. The move came after a prev- jous vote to close the school, taken in the presence of a dele- gation from the Percival area, failed 3-2. Voting to close the school were Jerry Birkby, Tom John- son, and Hugh Berry. Board President Gertrude Ettleman and Dan Golden voted against the closing. Mr. and Mrs, Robert Ladd went to Rochester, Minn. Monday where she was to undergo a checkup following surgery on her fingers.

SIDNEY TEACHER BASE $7400

Another meeting of the Hamburg schoo! board to study possible salary schedules for local teachers next school year will be held Thursday night, and possibly again on Friday night, says School Supt. Ervin DeBoer. DeBoer reported Tuesday that the board hopes to come up with an equitable salary schedule that will hopefully fit into what the legislature will do on increased state aid to schools. No contracts have been offered, and no salary offer made here, pending, hopefully, action by the lowa legislators. At Sidney the board offer- ed teachers a flat $500 a year basic salary increase, which, with various increments along the line, would boost teacher costs by about 11 percent. Starting salary there for a be- ginning teacher would be $7400. A faculty committee had recommended an $800 in- crease, In other action the Sidney board voted to increase the pay of Supt. Eugene Hess by $2000, to $20,000 a year. The salary of high school principal Duane Ridnour was boosted from $13,500 to $15,000.

Sewer bids down $75,000, an acceptable’ $177,000 level

AL 1OW DID OF 1/7 /,414 TOK sanitary sewer work in south and east Hamburg was submit- ted to the Hamburg City Coun. cil Monday night by the E. C, Henningson Co. of Atlantic. The Council gave every in- dication that if the bid and company checks out, it will ac- cept the offer. This is the third time specifications for the pro- ject have been changed in an effort to lower costs to a level local sewer and water users can afford. There were four bids sub- mitted, ranging from Henning- son’s low up to $187,152 bid by R. D. Blue Const. Co. of Omaha, who was low bidder in January. More than $75,000 has been shaved from the cost of the or- iginal proposal, opened in De- cember, when the low bid was $243,000. The January letting dropped bids to $215,943. By way of comparison, Henning. son's January bid was $224,- 215, more than $47,000 above his current bid. The principal change made in specifications was moving the sewers from alleys and plac ing them on curbs, where un- derground items such as tele.. phone cable and gas lines are not present, and there are no close building to undermine, as along alley edges. Asa “start-up” figure, how- ever, to the bid must be added a number of items to ve paid the first year, which brings the total project cost to about $223,484. This includes about $16,000 in engineering fees, $4500 legal fees, $11,000 in- terest, $9000 contingency funds, and about $1200 adlnaine istration costs. FHA representative Darwin Betts of Shenandoah was on hand to give some rough calcu- lations on user costs needed to keep the city, and the sewer system solvent, and while the news was not good, Council- men felt the cost per user is now falling into a neighbor- hood affordable to most peop- le. FHA has guaranteed a $195,000 loan to the city to finance most of the work. Betts said it would take $13,500 a year to pay interest and principal costs, plus anoth- er $5000 a year for operation and maintenance costs, and $2200 a year added for requir- ed reserves until the ten per cent level is reached. Betts said that simple arith- metic at that point would bring cost to the average user up to about $8.75 per quarter for the 595 anticipated customers. The minimum now for sewer use is $3.90 ver quarter. Betts figures this would go up to $6.50 or $7.00 for each three months. That is about the cost of a daily newspaper for use of the city sewers. Cost per quarter using the December bid would have been $13.50 per quarter average. _There was discussion of plac ing sewer use rates on a sliding scale similar to the scale used for water rates--the more you use, the less it costs per unit-- but no action was taken. At present the sewer use fee is based on a flat 65 per cent of the water bill. Betts promised to rush through final paper work with the bonding attorneys and fis- cal agents, and present the city with “hard” figures on what would be required for custom- er charges before the loan can be approved. They will be pre- sented April 1. One thing seems certain from the six-month search for extended sewer lines to most sections of the city: The days of cheap water, and cheaper sewer, are about over for Ham- burg. Those two services, long underpriced when compared with heat and light, will go up in price. Councilmen decided to ad- journ the meeting until their next regular meeting April 1, and will accept or reject the low bid at that time.

Summer recreation program is assured

Mount Dora City Council Pres- ident Gordon Dake, acting in his capacity as recreation comunittee chairman, announced at the Council meeting Tuesday night that the city's summer recreation program wili be "practically the same Dogtra as we had last year," Earlier it had seiial the pro- gtam would be curtailed if county ‘funds were not made available, ‘The Lake County school board has voted to make allotments based on 50 percent of previous funding. Because ofits wide based recreation program last year, Mount Dora stands to geta large shate of this money,: Dake said, _ Both city swimming pools will ‘be open and staffed by lifeguards; the high school gym will be open; arts and crafts will be taught, and . there will be a full ath’etic al gram including softball and tennis, Dake has interviewed candidates for the position of summerrecre- ation dire ctor but has not an- nounced his choice, In a recreation action taken at its meeting this week, City Coun~ cil voted unanimously to accept a $3,900 bid for resurfacing two tennis courts near the high school; $3, 700 had been ge aitaa for this item, This will give the city three courts in "tiptopshape, " observed Dake, The Mount Dora Tennis Club will fence the two courts, as it did for the one located in Don- nelly Park, : It will not be possible to teasers the ‘lighting at the high ‘school | this year, Dake noted, but ‘this may ‘come next year, ,

Gity gives final OK on library site

By A. M, LIVERIGHT Mount Dora City Council Tues- day night accepted the recom- mendationof its Planning and Zoning Committee and voted unanimously to approve definite - ly a site at Donnelly St, and Ninth ave. for a new public li- brary and authorized the library board to draw up plans for Coun- cil’s approval, Council members also approved the use of library funds to mount a fund-raising drive for the pro- posed $150,000 building totaling 6,000 sq. ft, A variance of six parking spaces --24 instead of the 30 that nor- mally would be required for a building that size--was author- ized, Building plans still must be ap- proved by City Council, since the Mount Dora Public Library is en- tirely under Council's control as library board chairman David Edgerton pointed out, Council suggested the library board try “diligently” to obtain land adjacent to the site for ad- ditional parking. Mayor T, R, Champion com- mented on the unusual situation, in that normally the building of a library is a municipal function In the case of Mount Dora, per- haps three~fourths of the funds are being supplied privately, he estimated, By the same 6-1 vote as two weeks earlier, Council passed the second reading of an ordinance to annex 60 acres west of Eudora Road, as requested by Affiliated Services Corp. of Winter Park, Council president Gordon Dake again cast the lone "no" vote, citing concern for the burden on the city’s sewer facilities, Planning and Zoning chairman G,R, M. (Bob) Pearson estimated that 100 to 180 single-family houses will be built on the tract. Representatives of Affiliated Ser- vices are to present a land-use plan and other details at the Pear- son committee ‘s regular biweekly public meeting next Tuesday af- ternoon in City Hall, Mayor Champion raised the pos- sibility of a veto on this annexa- tion ordinance, "Unless I'mcon- vinced that people of Mount Dora would benefit, I'd have a tend- ency to veto it," he said, Champion stated that many areas of the city still do not have sewer service and now Council would be giving it to a new area, which he called unfair.

Another gun store permission sought

A request by Eagle Uniforms, 13123 5. Western ave., for a license to sell firearms was referred unanimously to Blue Island's license committee at last Monday’s city council meeting.

PTSA talent show tonight at Campus _ Se i ES) er eee. aaa” A eVvrwowe Fe WFOWM F€ 40 Palmer tops tally i in 8th district

Incumbent Rep. Romie Palmer (8th dist.) led the ticket by a total of 12,762 votes at press time. The Sun Standard was advised that the latest figures would not be available unti] late Wed- nesday aiternoon, Also unofficial, incomplete returns by townnships but considered decisive, Jane Barnes led with a total of 11,521 over Herbert Huskey with 10,770. The 8th district state race was apparently influenced by the tight committeeman contest on the GOP ballot. Rep. Herb Huskey had apparen- tly gone down before **Barnes’ bullets.”" Since she was alone in the state race, Mrs. Barnes was free to seek ‘three for me" bullet votes and. at press lime, it uppeared she had gathered enough to win even though more individuals voted tor Huskey, since many of those gave him only one and a half vates. Oddly, the Worth township commit- teeman candidate who campaigned with Mrs Barnes, Lou Mirabelli, lost to Ron Larson, wht was linked with Huskey. Democrats in the 8th District showed returns, also incomplete but considered decisive, of a total of 18,437 for Harry Yourell; Robert Bily leading with 7,268 aver Daphne Spencer with a total of 6,519. A comeback for Lynn Brenne who served in the State House from 1970 to 1972, lost then when a recount showed that the 9th had elected one Republican, William Mahar, who led the primary ballot vesterday, and two Democrats. Leland Rayson and Richard Kelly. Daniel Houlihan carried the 28th District on the Democratic side in Tuesday's election, with Emil Jones, John Tully, and Arthur Davis following behind in total votes. This'places incumbents Houlihan and Jones back on the ballot in November. John Tully. not to be confused with Tom Tully, now Democratic candidate tor Cook county assessor in November, is charging vote fraud in the 28th. Houlihan carried the 28th District with over twice the number of votes Jones got, and Jones got twice Tuily’s number. Davis was approximately 1,000 votes behind Tully. The Republicans in the 28th District didn’t have much to fight about, with incumbent Robert Dunne and Ted Meyer both going on the November hallot, since there’s no one else trying lo In the third Congressional district, {rom which one Representative will be sent, incumbent Republican Robert Hanrahan beat out Edward Sumanas by a large number of votes. This pits Hanrahan against Democrat Martin A. Russo. who was unopposed on the Democratic side, in November. State central committeeman posts in the third congressional district were competed for in both parties Michael FE. Fryzel, 28, of South Holland won on the Republican side over William F. Seannel of Calumet City and Carl L. Klein of Oak Lawn. Democrat Joseph P. Griffin of Evergreen Park won the state central committeeman post on the Democratic side over William A. Pacini of Glen- wood, who nevertheless did manage to carry Calumet township. In other local contests, Calumet township supervisor Robert E. Schrei was unopposed on the Democratic side in his bid for Cook county board commissioner from Calumet township. Democrat Larry Petta was unopposed for Calumet township committeeman. There are no Republicans running for similar offices. The Regional Transit Authority, which passed in its referendum in the six-county area, was nevertheless voted against in Calumet township in a ratio of 25 against and 17 for it.

Uai-Sag land development Park bd. enlists aid of Congressman Hanrahan

When Congressman Robert Hanrahan came toctor of Blue Island Parks and Recreation, he immediately became aware of some of the problems besetting the Park district. Having recently acquired the Metropolitan Sanitary District Property along the Calumet Sag chan- nel on lease, the board's problem is now to develop this land. Hanrahan asked, ‘Are you levying up to your maximum, now?’” “No,” Murphy answered and he brought this conversation to the Park Board cominissioners for discussion. The percentage of the tax dollar for the city of Blue Island is divided as follows, it was noted: 70 per cent is school tax and goes to District 130, Community High School District 218, and the Jr. College District 524. The next section is 10 per cent which goes to the city. The balance per cent is divided up among the following: County of Cook, South Cook County Mesquito Abatement; the hospital; the Metropolitan Sanitary district and 3 per cent goes to the Park district, The remaining is given to Calumet Town- ship and the Forest Preserve. “Hanrahan has already dedicated himself to this problem,’’ stated Mur- phy regarding the land development along the canal. The suggestion to tax up the maximum was introduced. Roger Decker, board member, stated,” We can’t overtax the people.” The need for recreation was stressed and Murphy clarified his position by stating, ‘I’m not proposing to raise taxes."” Then he suggested that the board follow the next three steps to get more funds to operate the park. (1) Clarify the “error in the next tax ap propriation, (2) Levy to the maximum and 33) Get busy on legislation and busy with becoming aware of the fact that the wpark districts are being weitten out of money by the Better Communities Act that is to replace HUD. “We need to become more sophisticated legislative-wise. We should just get what's dutifully ours,” Murphy stressed. Decker said, “I just don’t know where the money is going to come from. You can’t take 15 cents and make a dollar out of it.” “} didn’t say that. You're twisting my words,"’ Murphy interjected. Vice president Leonard Bartle said, “I spent $11 a year for the parks and recreation, and I figure I'd spend more for that.’’ Bartle went on to say, ‘‘These parks and recreation mean much to this town.” “Maybe there are people who would mind paying more,’’ Decker respon- ded. He then cited things that need to be repaired, in his opinion. “Are we here for the people or to build effigies? What are the priorities?’’ Murphy asked. When Commissioner Raymond Sch- wartz was asked to comment about what he observed after riding with Murphy and Congressman Hanrahan throughout other south suburban Park districts, he said: “I was proud of what we came back to in Blue Island. Blue island has the most beautiful parks in the 3d district. John saved us lots of money when he nad Dr. Rutledge of the University of Ulinois bring students to the canai property to gather data to make uf plans for its development."’ “Isn't he (Rutledge) benefiting from tms?”' asked Decker. “Hanrahan is donating much of his time for a tremendous advancement for the Park district,’’ defended Mur- phy “We voted these people in. We all have a job. They're supposed to do this," answered Decker. “The park began in 1930 as an ‘Ornamental Park’. We now have things in it that eat up maintenance hours,’’ Murphy said, ‘‘When Rutledge’s students finish, we won't have to hand trim any of that 60 acres. It'll take less time to cut it than what we have now.” Commissioners Donald Mitchell and Decker both indicated that it couldn’t be done. And Murphy answered, “I have a masters degree in Parks and Recreation Maintenance Ad- ministration. Maybe I wasted my time zetting it.”” Confrontations continued on nearly every item brought before the board. It was noted that the Metropolitan Sanitary district accepted allof the changes the Park Board had previously requested. +44 Joseph Phelan, secretary and treasurer of the board, submitted his resignation at the end of the meeting. He served for 18 months. According to the letter he wrote to the board, Phelan had other “professional commitments”’ and could not continue with the Park board after April 30, 1974. He did comment, though, that the programs of the Park ‘enhanced the spirit and growth of the community.”

Electricity Rates Show Massive Jump

MP FREE OOUCLALT ED PRESS Some. Americans are paying v2 to 50 per cent more per month for electricity this year than they did last, an Associ- ated Press survey shows. Consumers are beginning to organize to. fight the rate hikes. A spot check of monthly elec- trie bills this year and. last showed that miost increases have been about $1 or $2, gen- erally about 10 per cent, with the highest reported boost com- ing in Jacksonville, Fla., where the ‘average tab went from $17.90 last year to $27.70 this year. Utility companies say the in- ereases are due primarily to the rising cost of fuel. They ‘noted that imported crude oil has jumped fourfold’ since Jan. 1, 1973. Most of these increases are passed on to the consumer automatically, with no review by’ state or local authorities. Areas like. the Northeast swhich depend. heavily on im- ported“oil have been the hard- est hit. Ti the Northwest, where water is-a- major source of elec- tricity, the price hike has been Jess. severe. Other operating costs like labor.also are. gener- ally higher in the East and tra- ditionally have made electric bills more costly. The. AP check showed that the price of a kilowatt hour of electricity ranges from just over’ a penny ‘in. Nevada and Oregon to seven cents in New York City. Allelectric homeowners have been especially hard hit. Such a homeowner in New York’s Or- ange County, for example, has seen his monthly bill jump from $101.67 in March 1973 to $205.60 this year for 5,000 kilo- watt hours of electricity. In some cases, electric bills are topping mortgage payments. Most of the consumer outery has come in the form of pro- tests at publie hearings. A Pub- lic Service Commission hearing in ‘New York City was dis- rupted by customers com- plaining about Consolidated Edison Co.’s request for a per- manent rate hike of almost 23 per cent.

Lobby Group Hits Dems » In Conaress

WASHINGTON (AP) — Com- Mon Cause, the self-styled citi- zens’ lobby, said today that Democratic congressional can- didates received’ more than $1 million from special interest groups in 1972 and accused the Democrats of stalling electoral reform. . The foot-dragging charge was contained in a full-page adver- tisement in today’s editions of The Washington Post, appear- ing on the same day the party holds its annual fund-raising dinner, The figures on 1972 Demo cratic receipts from special in- terest groups were contained in a report to be published by Common Cause next week on ithe role of special interest mon- (ey during the presidential year campaigns. Common Cause said various political committees gave Democratic House candidates a total of $667,226 while senatorial candidates received $550,947. The largest single donor on the list was the National Com- mittee for the Re-Election of a Democratic Congress, a quasi- official fund-raising committee headed by Robert Strauss, who later became chairman of the party. The Strauss committee was listed as having raised $376,507 for House candidates and $260,~ 802 for senatorial hopefuls un- der the party banner. The largest. giver among business and professional ranks was the Committee for Thor- ough Agricultural Political Education, the political wing of the Associated Milk Producers Ine. It gave $87,500 for Demo- cratic House campaigners and $72,000 for: senatorial. candi- dates. The biggest labor union gifts came from the national AFL- CIO. Committee on Political Education, which’ gave over $43,000 to Democratic congres- sional candidates. Common Cause has been ac- tive in electoral reform and is a chief advocate of public fi- nancing for federal elections. _ It was a Common Cause law- suit that foreed President Nix- on’s.-re-election committee to disclose the sources of his early | eampaign receipts, including money that figured in the Wa- tergate scandal. | “However, Common Cause eontends that it is Democratic leadership in Congress, particu- larly Chairman Wayne Hays of the House Administration Com- mittee, which is holding up electoral reform.

Gill Net Ban Rejected By Senate

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan. Senate has rejected a ban on gill net fishing proposed by the state Natural Resources Commission because the plan contains no repayment for com- mercial fishermen who would be put out of business. The Senate unanimously ap- proved a resolution Wednesday that. if passed -by the House, would prevent the proposed regulations from taking effect as scheduled next Dec, 31. The regulations were recom- mended by the Department of Natural Resources. “That’s a hot one. I imagine there will be caucuses and plenty of discussion before we do anything,” said House Ma- jority Leader Bobby Crim, D- Davison. He scheduled the reso- lution for debate Wednesday. Commercial fishermen con- fend thatthe Jarge mesh gill net. ban would put them out of business. About 80 of Mich- igan’s 180 licensed commercial fishermen use gill nets, said Sen. Daniel Cooper, D-Oak Park. The DNR contends gill net- ting is “non-selective,” taking both protected and sport fish aieng with commercial species, “The department is the typi- ,cal runaway bureauracy that doesn't listen to anyborly.” said Cooper. Cooper voted lo oppose the gill net ban when Wayne Tody, DNR fisheries director, reiected amendments to the rules which would pay com- pensation to commercial fish- ermen and extend the deadline date for gill nets “where cir- cumstances justify.” Tody said Wednesday he fa- vors the coneept of com- pensation for cammercial fish- ermen —- bul not as an integral part of the rules. Tody noted Gov, William Mil- liken’s budget contains $1.5 mil- lion for compensation to com- mercial fishermen and “we support that fully, but as a sep- arate legislative act and not as part of the rules.”

Watergate Grand Jury Report Goes to House

WASHINGTON (AP) — The grand jury report on’ President Nixon’s role in Watergate goes to the House impeachment in- quiry today unless the U.S. Court of Appeals intervenes. The appeals court agreed to hear arguments today from Watergate defense lawyers who hope to reverse U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica’s order Sending the report to — the House. In scheduling arguments fox 10:30 am. EDT, the appeals eourt said it will consider re quests for an additional delay in transmitting the report anc also hear arguments on the le gal issues. John J. Wilson and Frank Strickler, attorneys for forme: presidential aide H. R. Halde. ‘man, and John Bray, counsel for Gordon Strachan, anothet former - White House aide. asked the appeals court to or der Sirica-not to send the granc jury report to the House Judiciary Committee. Special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski opposed the re. quest, Sirica refused Wednesday to delay sending the report to the House until the appeals court had ruled. He did postpone ac- tion until 4 p.m. today to give the defendants a chance to ap- peal. The grand jury gave the sealed report and a_ satchel filled with evidence to Sirica March 1, the same day it in dicted Haldeman, Strachan, and five other former adminis- tration or campaign officials in the Watergate cover-up. On Monday, Sirica ordered the report sent to the House. Tn his petition to the appeals court, Strachan said that if the report is sent to the House Judiciary Committee and made public, intentionally or inad- vertently, he “runs the distinct risk of being put on trial by the legislative branch of our gov- ernment and of being prej- nudged by the general public.” | Haldeman used a nearly identi- eal argument saying that if the report is leaked “the defend- ants will stand convicted before their slorics are told.” Meanwhile, a study delivered on Wednesday to the Senate Watergate committee called on Congress to make it clear to the public that any president ean be impeached ‘without first being beheaded, jailed, fined, indicted or even in- dictable.”” The 169-page study prepared by the National Academy of Public Administration, also ree- ommended that the aitorney general be barred from giving presidents political or personal advice. Sen. James L. Buckley, Con.- )R-N. Y., who has ealled on Nix- on (o resign, said ne thought support for the President atnong conservatives is thinner {han many suppose. Buckley eaid he belicves conservatives have been reluctant to make their doubts known because they are unwilling to seem to ‘align themselves wilh political and philosophical tocs of the President.

Princess Anne & Husband Narrowly Escape Shooting

LONDON (AP) — Ian Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court today 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 Magisirate’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. 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. Mari Phillips, were not hurt. But police: experts said ‘the holes left by one of the bul. lets fired into the car indicated it passed between them, miss: ing them by inches. A police informant said i was believed. 11 shots were fired. by the assailant. Experts were studying two revolvers found at the scene. They saic five shots had been fired from one and six from the other..Au- thorities 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 Queer Elizabeth II, Anne’s mother. along with three pairs of hand | cuffs, a driver’s license and en )velopes addressed to two com panies. . . Officials declined. to discloss 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 ot ravings about alleged in justices, Police said Ball had no fixed address. Following the attack. there was speculation that- i was the work of Irish nation- alists, but the- police said they believed the motive was not po- litical. The gunman was, over. powered by police from Buck. ingham Palace, 150 yards away from the royal limousine. Witnesses said the gunmar ran into St. James Park, ther turned and’ leveled a pistol at the police. One officer, Peter Edwards, 21, brought him dowr with a flying tackle, and the other officers rushed in to hel Edwards. The attack was the first against any member of the British royal family since 193€ when a man threw a loaded re- volver in front of King Edward VII. The royal family occa- sionally has received deat threats but is not normally sur- rounded by heavy security ar- rangements. Police gave this account of the attack on the princess: The queen’s only daughter and the army officer she mar- ried last November were re- turning from a showing of a documentary film about 8 p.m. when a white Ford forced the limousine to a stop on the Mall, the ceremonial avenue leading to the palace. A man got out of the Ford and began shooting, hitting Alex Callender, the royal chaut- feur, and Inspector Beaton and shattering the front and rear windows of the limousine. Beat- on tried to fire back, but his gun jammed.

House Sets Minimum Wage Rate at §)/Hr-

WASHINGTON (AP) ~— The House has passed legiglation raising the minimum | -wage from $1.60 an hour to $2 this year for most workers covered and to $2.30 for all by 1978. The bill, approved. Wednes- day 375 to 37, also would in- crease by 7 million to 56.5 mil- lion the number. of workers cov- ered by, the minimum wage laws. . The bill is a modified version of one President Nixon vetoed last year. However, he is ex- pected .to sign this one if it is finally approved after adjust- ment with a similar Senate- passed measure, although it does not meet all of his earlier objections. For most workers covered by the minimum wage, the min- imum would increase to $2 this | year and then in two steps to $2.20 in 1976. Other nonagricultural work- ers brought under coverage in recent years would have a $1.90 minimum this year, reaching $2.30 in 1977, while covered ag- ricultural workers would have a $1.60 minimum in 1974 and reach $2.30 in 1978. Coverage would be extended to some 5 million federal, state /and local government employ- es; to domestic service employ- es and some categories of em- ployes of chain stores. Overtime provisions would be extended to $.5 million persons, including government employes other than police and firemen, The bill does not contain an across-the-board lower min- imum wage for young persons, 'one of the provisions sought by the administration. However, it ‘does permit full-time students | to be employed part-time — not more than 20 hours a week — at $1.60 an hour subject to regulations intended to assure ‘that they do not displace adult | workers,

Food & Fuel Prices Jump Living Costs

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 second big- gest 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 fig- ure inflation. It was the highest 12-month increase in the cost of living since consumer prices rose by 102 per cent in the 12 months ending January 1948. Nearly half the February in- crease 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 inerease in June 1947. Gasoline and other energy items were responsible for about a fifth of last month’s in- crease 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 six-tenths of one per cent in February and were down 4.5 per cent 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 per cent; non- food. commodities, 1 per cent, and services seven-tenths of 1 per cent. 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 fi- nal six months. Director John T. Dunlop of the Cost of Living Council said Wednesday that February’s surge in food prices would be followed by- more moderate increases 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 ol: prices played a large part: in the over-all increase in con- sumer prices last month, rising 5,3,per cent to a level 30.9 per cent above last.

Private Schools May Get State Aid

| LANSING, Mich. (AP) ~ Pri- vate colleges in Michigan would be the recipients of nearly $2 million of public money under a bill which went to Gov. William Miltiken’s desk Wednesday. Although the bill docs not contain an appropriation—that will be included in a budget bill later—the measure expresses the legistature’s intention to send about $1.9 million to pri- vate schools in an effort. to re- duce the gap in costs between private and publi institutions, The bill, which had passed both houses, won approval on its Senate version in the Touse on a 95-5 vote. The first time around, some lawmakers raised questions as to its constitutionelity—since it resembles parochiaid—and Rep. Lynn Jondahl, D-East ‘Lansing, said it “blurs the dis- tinction between public and pri- vate institutions.” Wednesday, however, it passed with little debate. Tho bill grants money to pri- vate schools on the basis of de- grees conferred. The schools would receive $200 for each as- sociate (two-year) degree and $480 for each bachelor’s degree, |unless the same student had ; Won an associale’s degree car- ilier, in which case it would be $200, Although the payment is made to reduce the gap in tui- Ition costs between private and ‘public colleges, there is no re- ,quirement that the money ac- tually be used to lower tuition, according to the bill's support- erg. Degrees awarded in theology cr divinity are excluded fron the bill, as are duplicate pay- ments to those institutions al- ready receiving money for law and dental degrees. In other action Wednesday, the House: ~<Approved, 76-16, and sent back to the Senate for con- currence in minor amend- ments, the transfer of about 30 acres of Jand in Washtenaw County from the Department of ‘Mental Health to the Depart- ‘ment of Corrections to permit the construction of a women’s prison. The measure aroused the op position of Rep. Perry Bullard, D-Ann Arbor, who charged that constructing{ a women's prison is a step backward in prison re- form, Others, however, pointing te the penal horrors of the Detroit House of Correction, sald such a facility was needed until the legislature could be persuaded to approve more community placement of inmates, —Passed, 90, and sent ta the Senate a bill to permit sur vivors of a deceased veteran ta receive reimbursement from the courts of $308 in funeral ex penses if the total estale doem not exceed $30,000. The present limit on estates is $15,000, but backers of the bill said the limit is too low and point out it has not been raised since 1959, although thera has fheen a great incroaso in the valuo of land, houses and other property,

BE CAREFUL It’s Snake Season

After nearly a lifetime spent farming and ranching in the Alice area, Charley Carter, currently leasing the Floyd Estate property on the old Kingsville Road has become very familiar with the frightening crackle of a ral- tlesnake preparing to strike. The six-foot male Carter killed Wednesday near an abandoned road on_ his property emphasized the danger these critters pose lo residents of this area al this ume. Carter said this is the most dangerous of all seasons for pedestrians walking through brush or picnicking by the side of the road. The snakes have recently come out of hiber- nation and still carry their winter skins which blend in perfectly with the vegitation. Carter pointed out that until the rattlesnakes shed their winter overcoats, they are virtually blind, and will strike out at any sound, aiming by ear rather than by sight. / “A snake can hit anything three quarters the distance 0! its own length away,” saic | Carter. ‘That means it cat | strike up to four feet fron where he may be coiled ant waiting for his prey.’’ | The rancher went on t | suggest a few safety measure for pedestrians who may b forced to walk through brush 0 grassy areas at this time ¢ | year. | “Always carry a stick or rod if you don’t have a rifle or a hand gun with you,” he cautioned. ‘‘A shovel or a hoe is even better.”’ If you see a rattler, Carter suggests keeping a_ safe distance away, never letting the snake out of sight. Juveniles ought not to try and tackle the reptile alone, but should call for help and wait until an adult is on the scene before trying to kill a rattler. ‘Killing a rattlesnake is the act of a good citizen,’’ said Carter. ‘The snake you kill may be a danger to someone else if you let it escape.’

Pipeline Approval Sought

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The U.S. and Canadian govern- ments were asked Thursday to approve construction of a $5.7 billion pipeline to carry natural gas from the north slope of Alaska and the Mackenzie river delta of northern Canada into major energy consuming areas of the two countries The application was filed by the Alaskan Arctic Gas Pipeline Co. and Canadian Arctic Gas Pipeline Limited, who termed the proposed 2,600 | mile pipeline ‘‘the largest construction project in the history of private enterprise.” They said it could be in partial operation by 1978 if given prompt approval Robert G. Ward, President of Alaskan Arctic Gas, sa'd thal when full capacity was reached the pipeline would deliver “well over’ four billion cubic feet of gas a day, or an amoun! equal to about 6 per cent 0 3 North America’s current demand for some 24 trillion cubic feet a year When other firms are brought into the project, he said, the total investment may reach as high as $8 billion with a resulting “dramatic impact” on US. employment, energy supplies and the economy generally. The line would stretch from Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay to distribution points along the U.S -Canadian border Noting the sensitivity of environmentalists, who fought unsuccessfully to block the Alaskan oil pipeline, Wood said more than $50 million was spent on planning which will | result in “measures that will enhance the environment oF | mitigate adverse en | ‘ | vironmental effects of con struction and other operations.’ “These intensive and expen sive efforts have produced information that places us In « preeminent position to link the enormous gas reserves in the far north to US market: where the need for this cleat fuel is so tremendous,” hi | added / Wood said U.S. consumers |} the Midwest, Fast Coast, We: | and Far West would receive a the Alaskan gas and any exces | from the Canadian fields afte Canada’s needs are met F said an estimated 122 milli consumers live in the ares | that would receive Alaské , | Bas : “This project will allow tt United States to use the huj | Bas reserves of northet Alaska,’’ Wood said The project must be ap

Will Rogers says...

I think you can learn about the same at all schools — outside of football. Harvard is the home of culture and poor football. Everybody in Harvard can speak good English but almost nobody can make a touchdown. In the old days boys wanted an education; they had gone there for their heads and not their shoulders. Today it’s open field running that gets your old college somewhere and not a pack of spectacled orators or a mess of civil engineers. It’s better to turn out one good coach than ten college presidents. College athletes are always coming up to me and asking ‘“‘when should I turn pro?” And I tell 'em, “Not until you have earned all you can in college.” (Lecture, 1933)

Spiro’s Maryland successor guilty of extortion, evasion

BALTIMORE (UPI) — N. Dale Anderson, who succeeded Spiro Agnew as Baltimore County executive and ran afoul of the same grand jury investigation that forced the former vice president from office, was found guilty Wednesday of extortion, conspiracy and tax evasion. A U.S. District Court jury convicted Anderson, 57, one of Maryland’s most powerful Democrats, on 32 counts.

Spotlight Simon says gasoline prices may climb to 75 cents in ’74

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Federal Energy chief William E. Simon says gasoline prices may reach 75 cents a gallon this year. Simon Wednesday told a House Appropriations subcommittee the lifting of the Arab oil embargo had eliminated the need for gasoline rationing, but the price increase imposed on the foreign oil would drive the price of gasoline higher. He predicted prices could range from 60 to 75 cents per gallon, with the highest prices likely on the East Coast which relies more heavily on imported oil.

Beaumonters due coliseum issue

KOUNTZE — The City of Beaumont will go to the voters with a $25 million bond issue for a convention center-coliseum in late spring or early summer, city tives told the executive committee of the regional planning commission Wedncsday night. Civic center proponents from Beaumont, South County and Mid County outlined their plans for civic centers to members of the South East Texas Regional Planning Com- mission (SETRPC) meeting at the Hardin County courthouse. Beaumont Mayor Ken Ritter said proponents from his city had completed the planning phase, having received feasibility studies and market analyses in December, and were well into the implementation phase. Barry Humphries, general manager of the Central City Development Corp. in Beaumont, said a Beaumont facility is projected to serve an entire region, 15 counties in Texas and 11 parishes in South Louisiana. The Beaumont facility would actually consist of three components, he said, a con- vention hall. a combined theater-auditorium component and a coliseum-arena Ritter added that it is possible that not all the components would be at the same location. Several citizens became interested in a regional convention complex two years ago, Beaumont city manager Ken Devero said. But, since the civic center proposal would involve general obligation tax bonds, plans were postponed for more pressing basic needs, such as streets, sewer and water. Beaumont’s proposed facilities would be compatible with the South County civic center proposal, Humphries said. Rebuffed by voters in Pear Ridge and Groves at a Novernber, 1973 bend referen- dum, the South County Civic Center Authority has been involved in a fund raising campaign with 11 local industries, according to Sam Aquilina of Port Arthur. Voters in Port Arthur, Lakeview and Griffing Park approved the general obligation proposal, providing authorization for 76 per cent of $2.7 million of the estimated $3.6 million cost of the South County facility, he said. Since $900,000 was denied by Pear Ridge See BEAUMONTERS, Page 2

Amendments pelt charter finance article

AUSTIN —- Sections of a proposed Con- stitutional Finance article dealing with the manner of levying taxes withstood more than a dozen attempted amendments Wednesday. Though nothing was formally adopted, delegates showed their sentiments through what they rejected during a day of debate. They tabled 119-35, a proposal by Reps. Wayne Peveto of Orange and Charles Evans of Arlington, to impose a Constitutional ban on any property taxes levied by the state. Presently, the state imposes a 10 cents per $100 value tax to support higher education. As the finance committee report stands now, the state may levy taxes by general law only, but there is no restriction on the type of tax levied. ve convention kicked around, and even tried for a noon-hour compromise, on an amendment to the finance committees plan to provide for a single tax appraising authority in each county. In the committee report, ‘each county shall provide for an appraisal of all taxable property within it’s boundaries.” Currently, said Rep. Neil Caldwell of Alvin, chairman of the finance committee, jurisdictions within a single county — each at different rates. Amendments were attempted to allow the legislature to set up some agency other than the counties to provide for the single assessment. Rep. Gene Jones of Houston, proposed that the constitution set up county-wide ‘‘local appraisa) districts’ to value property in each county. All taxing authorities within the county would have to levy tazes on the basis of the values determined by the ‘‘appraisal district.’ “All this does is add another level of See AMENDMENTS, Page 2

Jump 1.3 per cent February living costs skyrocket

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Pushed by higher food prices, the cost of living jumped 1.3 per cent in February, its largest increase in six months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said today. The BLS said almost half the increase was caused by skyrocketing food prices, and higher prices for gasoline and other energy sources accounted for about 20 per cent of the increase. The impact on the American consumer was aggravated, the BLS said, by a decline in the real gross of weekly earnings of workers. The index for food rose 3 per cent, well above normal for January, with higher beef prices accounting for about one-third of the total food hike. The increase in the Consumer Price Index was the largest since August, 1973, when the cost of living rose 1.8 per cent. January's increase was just under | per cent. The BLS said the price increase in gasoline and motor oil was not as large as January, when a 6 per cent rise was The index for fuel oil and coal rose 3.8 per cent—the smallest boost in five months. But that was an incredible 58 per cent above Feburary, 1973. The index for household services, including charges for gas, electricity, housekeeping and rent, rose .7? per cent in Feburary and medical care costs increased even more sharply. The BIS said the spendable earnings of American workers declined 6 per cent from January, almost entirely because of the in- crease in the cost of living. Over the year, average weekly earnings were down 3.9 per cent. The rise of 6.6 per cent in average hourly wages was more than offset by a 10 per cent hike in consumer prices and a 8 per cent decline in average weekly hours. Among the few items cheaper last month were new cars, used cars, and poultry —which normally go up in February. Fresh vegetable prices increased sharply last month instead of declining as they nor- mally do, the BLS said. Over the past year, the BIS said, real See LIVING, Page 2

Princess’ kidnap try is thwarted; man in custody

LONDON (UPI) — The man accused of attempting to kidnap Princeas Anne was held without bail today in a brief hearing in which police revealed he had a large sur of money in a bank account and may have had the help of associates. The specific charge against lan Ball, 26, a slender though powerfully built six-footer, was the atternpted murder of Princess Anne's bodyguard, Detective Inspector James Bea- ton, one of four men shot in the bizarre am- bush of a royal limousine a few yards from Buckingham Palace Wednesday night. Ball was brought into Bow Street Magistrate's court under the heaviest security precautions there in memory. He was handcuffed to two detectives. Everyone in the courtroom was searched. Outside the narrow street was blue with police lined up on both sides. A busload of police preceded his black maria and another busload followed it. The measures were so stringent as to un- derline the police theory that Ball may not have operated alone. Ball, who spoke in what appeared to be a London accent, was completely composed in See PRINCESS Page ?

End to embargo preserves jobs

DETROIT (UPI) — General Motors Corp. said Wednesday that it has can- celled plas to close seven plants for one week because of the lifting of the Arab oil embargo against the United States. GM Chairman Richard C. Gerstenberg said the move meant it would not tem- porarily furlough 27,000 workers em- ployed at assembly plants across the country. The plants, which were scheduled to close down for either the week of March 2 or April 1, are locatec in Flint and Lansing, Mich., Arlington, Tex., Framingham, Mass., and Tarrytown, N.Y. The Michigan plants include the cor- poration’s home assembly plants for Buick and Oldsmobile. Gerstenberg said it is possible that all of the 65,000 GM workers currently laid off because of the impact of the energy crisis on the auto industry may return to work by mid-April. “With a continued improvement in the business,’’ Gerstenberg said, ‘‘we are hopeful no further temporary layoffs will be required.”’ But he said that despite the lifting of the oil embargo, ‘‘a limited number’”’ of previouslyannounced plant closings over the next two weeks will go ahead as planned. Gerstenberg said GM dealers were starting to report an upswing in the sale of used cars, a movement hecalled a first step to improved new vehicle sales. GM has been hardest hit among the Big Three automakers in new car sales since the energy crisis hit the industry last fall.

PSNQH STUQCTHS IflrervieweQ What is attraction of private schools? Best cake decorators Marshall students interviewed

Concepts in public education seem to be changing every day, or at least every year or so. As high school students are required to have better qualifications for college entrance, or for specialization in their world of work, public education attempts to move this way or that, trying to fill the diverse needs of many types of students. In Marshall, the birth of adult education happened within the past five years. In Calhoun County, a vocational education center has offered training in more varied fields than ever before available, serving all the county’s high schoo! students. Experiments on non-graded teaching have been successful, according to Marshall educators, first at Conley School, now other elementaries and the Marshall Middle School. With all the present attention, and money, spent on Marshall's school system, is it surprising to find some students and their parents opting for private education? Maybe, but students still leave Marshall for study at private, or ‘‘independent’’ schools elsewhere. The Marshall students at private schools say they’re getting a better education away from home. That’s the most important thing, of course, but how much better is it, how is it done, and w are the costs? Other questions include what kind of other benefits are available for private education students, what is campus life like at the high school level, and what —_ some of the problems? Mark Carrington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Carrington of 769 N. Kalamazoo, at- tended Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, four years and is a freshman at Al- bion College. He says he was an ‘‘average’’ Cranbrook student and isn’t having much trouble handling college work at Albion. Cranbrook. which actually includes two schools for high school boys and girls, and an elementary, plus an art academy and a science institute, is a top ranked private school. In its quarterly magazine the Cranbrook president, Arthur H. Kiendl, says, ‘‘We are not attracting as many highly qualified students, particularly boarders, to Kingswood (girls) and Cranbrook schools as we would like.”’ In another paragraph: ‘‘As costs have risen, we have had no alternative but to raisé tuition. It is now $3,900 for boar- ders, $2,400 for Kingswood and Cran- brook day students and $1,800 for full-day Brookside (elementary) pupils.’’ That's nearly $4,000 per year tor a Marshall student to attend Cranbrook. Add incidentals, and the figure can easily hit $5,000 per year, which Kiend]l admits can price good students right out of Cranbrook schools. But the private schools have strong selling points, and the parent who wants an excellent education for his child can justify the expense. Cranbrook has kept its standards high enough to keep good students in and poor students out. It's a happy situation to be in because many private college prep schools are closing their doors now, unable to make ends meet, or reducing entrance standards to attract any ap plicant, so long as he has the tuition price. The private school strongly em- phasizes guidance and counseling to attract applicants. Mark Carrington says it implies high school years are most uncertain for most students. ‘‘There is a greater need for guidance during these years, so the school emphasizes guidance for planning a future, or social guidance for personal problems. “The idea is to make sure parents know their kids will have proper training, or someone to answer important ques- tions for them,”’ Carrington says. A student-teacher relationship paralleling that of parent and child is encouraged, though it’s more like a ‘‘buddy"’ system. Parents are replaced by teachers as guidance counselors and specialists are present as well for specific problems. The studént-teacher partnership is essential to more varied learning exper!- ences as well, according to Carrington. Rather than separating at the end of classes, the student and teacher can experiment together with special pro- jects to expand learning beyond class- room lectures. Also. if a student seeks help for pro- blems that lead to punishable offenses, it ig the teacher who hears about it first. ‘If you're honest with a teacher, and ask for help. you won't be punished for anything there,’ Carrington says. The ctidente make the schoo] — anv school -- and Cranbrook students nave varied backgrounds. In fact, Carrington stresses the point that students ait Cran- brook should not be stereotyped as the well-to-do children of great Detroit aree business executives There are some such Studeéi.s chore but Carrington says students co... Cranbrook from rural and big oy e: vironments; many are on schofarship:. there, and the only certainty 1s that few poorly prepared students can handle tne studies. “There's arother stereotype about Cranbrook students, that the unis xo- getters come from poor families Stu dents from more affluent families work just as hard for their grades Thev are enthusiastic, and as capable as arsyone else.” Carrington points this out because he was discouraged from attending (ran brook while a student at Marsnaics jyumor high school “An adminisirater a coach and a teacher were ore vnticed against private schools jike v: brook,” Carrington Says, “hecause hes are supposed to be full of mens o> something (Continued on page 3:

Could save energy we? 5 F fw SS JT New building methods

The federal government has proposed new methods of constructing federal buildings in a move to save additional energy and suggested its effort could be adapted to all new buildings. Arthur F. Sampson, General Services Administration administrator, said new features for such construction would include the collection of rain water for cooling and irrigation, solar energy collectors and the covering of exterior walls with earth. ‘‘What we are saying is that these design criteria ought to be applied in the construction of all federal buildings and, eventually, to buildings built with federal assistance,’’ Sampson told a news con- ference Wednesday. {t was called to disclose the ef- fectiveness of efforts within the federal government to conserve energy. He said he would recommend legislation to ac- complish the new building criteria. “The energy conservattion program we have instituted in our buildings can be applied by any building owner,’’ Samp- son said. ‘‘These measures cost little or nothing and can save the building owner money. Energy conservation makes good sense.”’ In other energy developments: —Rep. Jerry L. Litton, DMo.,_ in- troduced legislation he said would prevent future energy crises which he termed a ‘‘Plan Ahead Bill.” He said it would create a cabinet-level department to report to Congress and the President on all of the nation’s human and natura! resources. —Chairman Herbert D. Clay of the American Gas Association wrote & members of Congress asking ‘or “decisive action’ on lJeg'station remove, Federal Power Commissir regulation in the field of pricing for ne natural gas. —During the last three months of 197 Sampson said the federal bureaucra‘ reduced energy consumption by 19 percent. This he said reflected a saving of 11 million kilowatt hours of electmcits 2.4 million gallons of fuei oi], 18.900 tor of coal and 1.16 million galions gasoline.

House OKs tax relief. to preserve good lands

LANSING (UPI) — The House adopted revised legislation Wednesday that provides $6 million to $10 million in tax relief for farmers who agree to keep their land in agriculture for 10 years. The proposal, a Senate-passed version of legislation that pasesed the House a year ago, is aimed at preventing urban sprawl from gobbling up farm and open space land. After approving the Senate amend- ments and adding 46 of its own changes, the House passed the proposal on a 80-17 vote. It now will return to the Senate, where little opposition is expected. The bill will permit farmers and open space owners to apply for a 10 year contract with the state, pledging to keep their land from development. In exchange, the state will give land owners credits on their state income tax equal to the amount their property taxes exceed 7 per cent of their househol@ in- come. In _ addition, no _ special assessments for sewers, water, lights or non-farm drainage could be imposed on land under state contract. Land under contract could be sold without penalty if its continued use complied with the terms of the agreement. However, an owner or successor pulling out of the contract would be subject to a penalty equal to the total tax credit received, plus 6 per cent compounded annual interest. The penalty imposed by the House was substantially softer than the version approved by the Senate. In its bill, the Senate would have penalized farmers and open space land owners breaking the contract by requiring them to forfeit up to half the market value of their property. The House lessened the penalties for fear the stricter version would scare away prospective contract signers. A prime backer of the legislation, Rep. Quincy Hoffman, R-Applegate, called the farm tax relief ‘“‘landmark legislation.”’ ‘This has been in the works for years,”’ Hoffman said. ‘‘I think it is a very good, significant piece of legislation.’’ Similar measures have been in the legislature since 1965. The bill’s Senate sponsor, Harry De Maso, R-Battle Creek, said the measure will make Michigan the 33rd state to combine farm tax relief with a program to preserve agricultural land. The Senate will take up two bills Thursday designed to provide sales tax relief for food shoppers. However, one of the bills may wind up back in committee for good. De Maso said he would call back ; proposed constitutional amendment tc repeal the sales tax — a move that woulc cost the state $150 million in revenue: and force an increase inthe income tax. But Democrats were expected to try anc block the motion.

Swimming coach resigns

Bill Ryan, Marshall high’s first swimming coach and a social studies teacher at Marshall High School, yesterday submitted his resignation to Superintendent Gordon W. VanWieren. Last week he was accepted to a masters program in the coaching of swimming at Indiana University, Bloomington. He noted he ‘‘really en- joyed” the city and the persons he worked with here. However, he said it was time for him to continue his education. “This is a wonderful opportunity to pursue my vocational dreams. If I don’t do it now, I never will,’’ said Ryan. Ryan said he did not know what he would do after he completed work at IU. He said he has coached at all age levels and possibly would try coaching ‘‘a big age group team’’ as at a private club under the American Athletic Union. This would be coaching all age levels for competition. Ryan said he wanted to give special thanks to VanWieren and William Crumrine, his first principal in the Marshall system. He said he also wanted to give thanks to Kent Esbaugh, prin- cipal, Joseph Cooper, administrative assistant and athletic director, and Philip Wuroi, chairman of the social studies department. “This is a wonderful opportunity for Bill and I am sure I speak on behalf of the students, school personnel, school board and community when | wish him well in his new position,’’ said VanWieren. He also noted it was inevitable for a person like Ryan to be admitted to a graduate program or be offered a more prestigious coaching position. The 1970 graduate of Dartmouth came here in 1971 after being an assistant swimming coach at Western Michigan University where he was a student While the high school was being finished, he took over the pool program. During the 1972-73 season his swim team had about a 500 record. This year the swim team had a 7-2 record. Both years Marshall won the Albion Relays Invitational. The first. year the team took two of three meets with Albion High School. This year Marshall twice beat Albion, the only other schoo! in the Twin Valley Conference with a swim team. Ryan has also coached at the private Riverside and Battle Creek Swim Clubs.

Plum Brook Cuts...

during questioning. He frequently described Plum Brook asa ‘national resource’ which was “‘in the national interest’’ to maintain. Several times he asserted there was sufficient ‘“‘mutuality of interest’’ between NASA and other potential users for NASA to share more of the costs of Plum Brook's operation. But, answered one of the NASA officials, ‘‘There is not enough mutuality of interest in private contracts to justify shared costs,”’ by NASA. ‘‘We will certainly bend over any way we can to see that the facility is used and is in a position to be used,”’ the official said. He said the 50 employes would continue to be paid by NASA until either new Plum Brook users are found of until new jobs can be found for the employes. Toward the end of the hearing, Mosher started to press for a one-year commitment by NASA to pay the employes’ sala- ries, ‘Could we have some sort of an agreement right now fora year’s opportunity’’ in which to work things out, Mosher asked. The NASA official refused the commitment. ‘We can as- sure you OMB is sympathetic and would not precipitously” withdraw funding, he said. But he said he could not promise a full year’s funding. Mosher then said he would ask the subcommittee to strong- ly recommend a year's additional funding through June 30, 1975initsreport. The other three subcommittee members attending the hearing including Chairman Rep. Ken Hechler, D-W. Va., ap- peared to support Mosher’s position. “I thoroughly agree with Mr. Mosher that to put this facil- ity on what you call standby is a waste of great national re- source,” Rep. Barry Goldwater Jr., R-Calif., told the NASA officials. ‘It seems to be a natural, ” said Rep. John Wydler, R-N. Y., of Plum Brook. ‘‘This would be a very active facility if we had avery active space program.”’ A committee staffer said, ‘‘It seems in the national inter- est to keep it open.’’ He supported Mosher’s proposal for a one-year extension of money ‘‘to work things out.” After the hearing, Mosher said in an interview he is ‘‘very hopeful that we will put something in the bill to encourage NASA” to maintain funding for an additional year. He said, however, it would probably be impossible to make such a pro- vision ‘‘mandatory if OMB doesn’t want todoit.”’ The NASA officials told the subcommittee that use of Plum Brook’s Space Power Facility (SPF) ‘‘is presently to be con- sidered by’’ the Air Force, the Navy, the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration and the Atomic Energy Com- mission.

Kidnapping...

yguard, Detective Inspector James Beaton, 30, fired three shots at the gunman, then was shot himself. Hearing the shooting, Policeman Michael Hills, who was on The Mall, ran up to the royal’car. The gunman shot him. Hill fell, crying into his radio transmitter, ‘‘I have been shot.’’ One of the gunman’s other bullets struck author and journalist Brian McConnell, hes was in a passing taxicab. At that point, the carload of plainelothesmen slammed to a halt beside the royal car and officers col- lared a man standing near it, apparently the gunman. Ina graphic description of the incident, Miss Sammy Scott who was driving behind the princess’s car, said she had been forced to the curb by a passing auto then heard the shots. Leaving her car, she ran toward the Princess's limousine, stopped near St. James’s Pal- ace, Looking in, she saw Princess Ahne and Phillips, the latter with his arm around his young wife, huddled in the back seat. “‘Are you all right, luv,’’ she asked the Princess. “Yes, I’m fine, thank you”’ the Princess replied_. The young couple were ‘‘very brave,’”’ Miss Scott said ina television interview. ‘‘There was a time when they were completely on their own in the car. There wasnoone there atall.’”’

Sunday Gas Sales...

formulated a response to the or- der. Locally, dealers agree there will be little change in the Sun- day-closing situation until at least the first of April, because of fuel allocations now on hand. “Not this month; we’ve al- ready got our allocation for this month,’”’ said Bob Rogers of Bob’s Union 76 station, 519 Tiffin Ave. ‘‘Maybe next month we can be open Sundays, but we haven’t heard a word from our suppliers, so I can’t tell. But certainly not for the rest of thismonth.”’ Ed Burdue of Bus’s Shell Ser- vice Station, Perkins and Colum- bus Avenues, agreed, ‘‘No, we’re not gonna be open Sundays this month; we can’t get the gas.” Carl Grimani, owner of Gri- mani Sohio Service Station, Co- lumbus Avenue and Campbell Street, confirmed the March allo- cations have not been modified, ‘‘and I’m not sure yet about April.”” He said he has heard nothing from his supplier about an increased availability of gaso- line. “I don’t think we’ll be able to be open on Sundays for a couple of months,” Paul Niehm of Niehm’s Marathon, E. Monroe and Warren Streets, said. ‘“‘I’d say it won’t be until about May; it’d have to ease up awful quick for us to be able to be open seven days a week before that.”’ Sam Stipp of District Petroleum Prod- ucts Inc., 1832 Milan Road, agrees with the dealers. ‘‘I was somewhat surprised at the President’s statement (lifting re- strictions on Sunday sales). the volume that I can buy for March hasn’t been changed appreciably. “If there were no longer a petroleum shortage, that would mean to me that I could buy an unrestricted amount of gasoline, but I can’t. I’m just a marketer and I can only sell as much as they allow me to buy, so as of now I can’t see any change.’’. ;

February cost of living up Some area gas stations to start Sunday sales

WASHINGTON (U P I) — Pushed by higher food prices, the cost of living jumped 1.3 per cent in February, its largest increase in six months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said today. The BLS said almost half the increase was caused by Skyrocketing food prices, and higher prices for gasOline and other emergy sources accounted for about 20 per cent of the increase. The impact on the American consumer was aggravated, the BLS said, by a decline in the real gross of weekly earnings of workers. The index for food rose 3 per cent, well above normal for January, with higher beef prices counting for about onethird of the total food hike. increase jn the Consumer Price Index was the largest since August, 1973, when the Cost of living rose 1.8 per cent, January’s increase was just under | per cemt. The BLS said the price increase in gasoline and motor oi! was not as large as January, whem a 6 per cent rise Was reported. The index for fue} oil and coal rose 3.8 per cent-the smallest boost in five months. But that was an incredible 58 per cent above Feburary, 1973. The index for household services, including charges for gas, electricity, housekeeping and rent, rose 7 per cent in Feburary and medical care costs increased even rmore sharply. The BLS said the _ spendable earnings of American workers declined 6 per cent from January.

Anne shaken but cool after kidnap attempt

**I’m all right, thank you’, said Princess Anne when police ov@rpowered the gunman who armbushed her and her husband, Capt. Mark Phillips. She was somewhat shaken but cooler than might be expected, The 5- foot-7, blonde only daughter of Queen Elizabeth has proved her courage many times on the riding field where she won the European Championship in one of the toughest events on the sports calendar. Princess Anne ig 23. She has thick hair, a fine figure and slightly prominent teeth. She is a healthy looking girl, a strong swimmer, always in good physical condition, a nonsmoker and a mon-drinker. She is tireless, gets up early and often goes to bed so late one of her detectives once threatened to quit. As a child she never played with dolls. She cannot cook or sew and hates housekeeping though she is giving it a try since her marriage to Phillips in Westminster Abbey last Nov. 14 and especially since she and her 25-year- old husband moved into their first home at the Sandhurst Military Academy three weeks ago. Her fascination with horses extended to the men who rode them and after the Mexico Olympics of 1968 she met Phillips who had been on the team as a reserve rider. Phillips, 25, is the son of a director of a sausage and ice cream firm but the Princess leaped the social barriers as easily as she jumped the barriers on the equestrian field. It was obvious soon after they met that they would be more than friends though they denied a romance until a few months before their marriage. Phillips was not Only a boy friend but a riding companion. He helped Anne train for the Munich Olympics of 1972 in which he won a gold medal. Anne was heartbroken when her horse was injured and she had to withdraw. Despite the cymics the marriage of handsome couple drew a vast worldwide radio and television (Continued on Page 12-A)

PROJECT COST IS $5.7 BILLION U.S., Canada asked to approve gas pipeline

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The US. and Canadian govermments were asked Thursday toO approve construction of a $5.7 billion pipeline to carry natural gas from the north slope of Alaska and the Mackenzie river delta of northerm Canada into major energy consuming areas of the two countries. The application was filed by the Alaskan Arctic Gas Pipeline Co. and Canadian Arctic Gas Pipeline Limnited, who termed the proposed 2,600-mile pipeline ‘‘the largest construction project im the history of private enterprise.’’ They said it could be in partial operation by 1978 if given prompt approval - Robert G. Ward, President of Alaskan Arctic Gas, said that when full capacity was reached the pipeline would deliver ‘‘well over’’ four billion cubic feet of gas a day, or an amount equal to about 6 per cent of North America’s current demand for some 24 trillion cubic feet a year. When other firms are brought into the project, he said, the total investment may reach as high as $8 billion with a resulting ‘dramatic impact” on U.S. employment, energy supplies and the ecomomy generally. The line would stretch from Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay to distribution points along the U.S.-Canadian border. Noting the sensitivity of emvironmentalists, who fought unsuccessfully to block the Alaskan oil pipeline, Ward said more than $50 million was spemt on planning which will result in ‘‘rnmeasures that will enhance the environment or mitigate adverse envirommental effects of construction and other operations.’’ “These intensive and expensive efforts have produced information that places us in a preeminent position to link the enormous gas reserves in the far north to U-S. markets where the need for this clean fuel is so tremendous,”’ he added. Wardsaid U.S. consumers im the Midwest, Bast Coast, West and Far West would receive all the Alaskan gas and amy excess from the Canadian fields after Canada’s meeds are met. He said an estimated 122 million consumers live in the areas that would receive Alaskan gas. _ “This project will allow the United States to use the huge gas reserves of northern Alaska,” Ward said. “‘At the same time, it will result in closer ties between the United States and Canada.”’ The project must be approved by the U.S. Interior Department and the U.S. Federal Power Commission, Canada’s National Energy Board and Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and numerous other federal, state, provincial and local agencies in both countries.

SupremeCourt may rule on probe’s tape request

WASHINGTON (UPI) — John J. Wilson had his good white shirt ironed today, the one with the stiff collar. If he puts it om, he goes before the U.S. Supreme Court. Wilson, attorney for H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman in the Watergate case, Wednesday asked the federal Appeals Court to stop Monday’s order by U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica which held that the House Judiciary Committee can look at material concerning Nixon and Watergate. The committee is studying the possible dene ay eer ent of roa ke report, b e grand jury which indicted Haldeman, Ehrlichman and five others in the Watergate case, dealt with Nixon’s handling of Watergate. Wilson said giving the report to the House committee would mean its contents would be leaked to the press, depriving his cliemts—Nixon's former top aides—of a fair trial. The appeals court considered Wilson's petition Wednesday. Then it told him to appear for arguments at 10:30 am. EDT today. If it ruled against him, Wilson would have to consider going to the Supreme Court. After a series of appeals and counter-appeals Wednesday, Wilson refused to say specificially that he would go to the high court. But if he did, he said, fhe would have to dress properly. “I won't wear my buttondown collars up there,” he said, fingering his throat. ‘f° tl wear my white shirt with the stiff collar. But no morning coat!” Wilson begam Wednesday's round of filing with two petitions, both on behalf of Haldeman. One petition was to the appeals court. It asked for a writ of mandamus ated-or prohibition against Sirica’s order that the report to the grand jury which indicted the seven be sent to the House Judiciary Committee. The other petition wag to the district court, asking for qa stay of Sirica’s order. Sirica originally gave the defendants two days to seek an appeal that would halt transrriission of the report to the House committee. Special prosecutor Leon Jaworski answered those petitions, saying grand juries had the right to make reports. But Sirica then granted a 24- hour reprieve in his original two-day stay sayimg Wilson could seek a general stay of his order fromm the anneale enirt |

New building plans may conserve energy

The federal government has proposed mew methods of constructing federal buildings in a move to save additional energy and suggested its effort could be adapted to all new buildings. Arthur F. Sampson, General Services Administration ad- ministrator, Said new features for such construction would include the collection of rain water for cooling and irrigation, solar energy collectors amd the covering of exterior walls with earth. ‘What we are saying is that these design criteria ought to be applied in the construction of all federal buildings amd, eventually, to buildings built with federal assistance,’’ Sampson told a mews conference Wednesday. It was called to disclose the effectiveness of efforts withim the federal government to conserve energy. He said he would recommend legislation to accomplish the new building criteria. “The energy conservation program we have instituted in our buildings can be applied by any building owner,” Sampson _ said. “These measures cost jittle or nothing ame can save the building owner momey. Energy conservation makes good sense.” In other energy developrments: —Rep. Jerry L, Litton, D-Mo., introduced legislation he said would prevent future energy crises which he termed a ‘‘Plan Ahead Bill.’’ He said it would create a cahinet-level department to report to Congress and the President on aj} of the nation’s human and natural resources. ~—Chairman Herbert D. Clay of the American Gas Association wrote all members Of Congress asking for a “decisive action’ on legislation to remove Federal Power Commission regulation in the field of pricing for new natural gas.

LONDON (UPI) — The man accused of attempting to kidnap Princess Anne was held without bail today in a brief hearing in which police revealed he had a large sum of momey in a bank account and may have had the help of associates.

Everyone in the courtroom was searched. Outside the narrow street was blue with police lined up on both sides. A busload of police preceded his black maria and another busload followed it. : The measures were so stringent as to underline the police theory that Ball may not have operated alone. Ball, who spoke im what appeared to be : ate oat aap vas cormpletely co in t as Detective Chief Superintendent Roy Ranson asked for him to be held a week without bail om the ground it was “‘imperative’’ police have ready access to him. “*It is a matter of state security which I cannot enlarge upon,”’ Ranson said.

He has a neatly trimmed short beard, hardly more than afew weeks’ shaving stubble. In addition to the uniformed police some 15 plainc lothes detectives were among 40 or so newsmen and public in the courtroom. Until that tmoment it had been assumed that the attempted kidnaping of the daughter of Queen Elizabeth was the work of a lone operator.

House GOP Leader Attempts To Head Off Inguiry Split

WASHINGTON (AP) —~— House Republican Leader John J. Rhodes is trying to head off a. confrontation between the White House and Judiciary Committee over the impeach- ment inquiry. Rhodes is urging both sides to soften their positions and seek a compromise settlement of their dispute over a com- mittee request for tapes of 42 presidential conversations. After meetings with White House lawyer James D. St. Clair and Republican members of the Judiciary Committee, Rhodes, held a news conference Wednesday to urge that a third party be permitted to review the tapes and determine which would be relevant to the com- mittee’s impeachment inquiry. He did not spell out his pro- posal but said it could be along the lines of the one made by President Nixon to special pros- ‘ecutor Archibald Cox calling fer Sen. John Stennis, D-Miss., to listen to tapes then in dis- pute between the White House and the Waergate grand jury: Cox's refusal to accept the pro- posal led to his firing. Rhodes’ suggestion seemed unlikely to fare much better. The White House has indicated no interest in it and the chair-. man and ranking Republican on the committee have flatly rejected it. “The committee has a con- stitutional responsibility to con- duct. the inquiry,” said Rep. Edward Hutchinson, R-Mich., (See ’G’ on Page 2)

House OKs Legislation © Raising Minimum Wage

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed legislation raising the minimum wage from $1.60 an hour to $2 this year for most workers covered and to $2.30 for all by 1978. The bill, approved Wednes- day 375 to 37, also would in- crease by 7 million to 56.5 mil- lion the number of workers cov- ered by the minimum wage laws. The bill is a modified version of one President Nixon vetoed jast year. However, he is ex- pected to sign this one if it is finally approved after, adjust- ment with a similar. Banat passed . measure, although — does:not-meet all of his earlier ‘objections, | : “ For -most workers “eavebed by the minimum wage, .the min- imum would increase to $2 this year and then in two steps to $2.30 in 1976. - Other nonagricultural work- ers brought under coverage in recent years would have a $1.90 minimum this year, reaching $2.30 in 1977, while covered ag- ricultural workers would have a $1.60 minimum in 1974 and reach $2.30 in 1978. Coverage would be extended to some 5 million-federal, state and local government .employ- es; to domestic service employ- es and some categories ‘of em- ployes of chain stores.. Overtime provisions would be extended to 9.5 million persons, incisding government employes other than police and firemen. The bill does not contain an across-the-board lower min: imum wage for young persons, one of the provisions sought by the administration. However, it does permit full-time students to be employed part-time — not more than 20 hours a week — at $1.60 an hour subject to regulations intended to assure that they do not displace adult workers.

Suspect Brought To London Court In Princess Anne Kidnap Attempt

LONDON (AP) — Ian Ball, a 26-year-old unemployed Eng- lishman, was brought into court today 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.” 7 The court ordered him held for another hearing on March 28 on the charge of attempting to murder Princes Anne’s per- ‘sonal bodyguard, Inspector James Beaton. 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 ana 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- lets fired into the car indicated it passed between them, miss- ing 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. Au- thorities 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 en- (See ‘D’ on Page 2)
