THE LINCOLN STAR 72NO LINCOLN, NEB. MONDAY MORNING JULY 1, 1974 28 Pages 15 CENTS Mrs. King Sr. MRS. KING AP shot in church. ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - Mrs. Martin Luther King Sr. was killed Sunday by a black gunman who opened fire as she played "The Lord's Prayer" on an organ at the church where her son once preached nonviolence. A church deacon also was killed, and another member of the congregation was wounded. Police arrested Marcus Wayne Chenault, 21, a black student who said he arrived in Atlanta by bus on Saturday. In Columbus, Ohio, police searched Chenault's apartment and said they found a worn Bible and a list of civil rights leaders marked for death. Atlanta police said they had no evidence anyone else worked with the gunman. One spokesman, when asked -Knut Chenault's motivation, said flatly: "He's u. ,." Three black civil rights leaders said they were convinced Mrs. King's death was part of a con- spiracy. Columbus police later disclosed that these same three men — the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Hosea Williams — were on the death list found in Chenault's apartment. The name "King" was on the list but there was no first name beside it, Columbus police said. Atlanta police said Sunday night they had es- tablished a 24-hour-guard at the King home. A spokesman said that there was still no evidence of a conspiracy, but "we have got a whole slew of threats to the King family and others." The spokesman declined further"comment. Chenault's acquaintances at Ohio State Universi- ty described him as a man who became increasing- ly preoccupied with religion and said Christianity had nothing to offer the black man. Mrs. King, 69, whose son Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, was shot during morning services at Ebenezer Baptist Church. The gunman opened fire as the choir intoned the opening words of the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. King's 74-year-old husband, the church's pastor, rushed to her side from the pew where he was sitting with his daughter. A friend of the King family quoted the gunman as saying he killed Mrs. King "because she was a Christian and all Christians are my enemies." But police said the gunman told them he really meant to kill her husband. "Chenault told police he received orders from his god to kill the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr.," said Asst. Police Chief J.L. Mullins. "Chenault told investigators the reason ne snot Mrs. King was because she was the nearest to him," Mullins added. Mullins quoted Chenault as saying he shot the other two persons "because they were worshipping a false idol." King, who was not preaching Sunday, said he was sitting with the congregation when "flu's man got up with a pistol in each hand and was shooting everywhere." "The man's crazy. There's nothing that can be done with a fellow like that," King said. He said when he got to his fallen wife, he asked her, "Honey, where are you hurt? She tried to tell me something but couldn't." Mrs. King was pronounced dead after arrival at Grady Hospital. A family spokesman said her body would lie in state at Ebenezer Church on Monday and Tuesday, Mrs. King Sr. Knew Violence .. . Page 22 with funeral services to be conducted Wednesday. In Columbus, Chenault's classmates and friends said he had developed an intensifying interest in religion in the last few months. "He didn't go along with the whole religious bag," said Darrel Walker, a classmate. "He just didn't see why black people would want to get into the Christian belief and that whole bit." Abernathy, who succeeded Mrs. King's son as national head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said he visited Chenault in jail and the man told him the slaying was part of a conspiracy to kill civil rights leaders. Surprise! Meter, Liter Arrive n •II By LIANE GUENTHER Star Staff Writer Nebraskans may as well get used to the idea that a meter is a little longer than a yard. A liter is a little larger than a quart. And a kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds. According to Dr. Deane Manbeck, the metric system is already in use in the United States. "People just aren't aware it's in." On a national scale, "it appears the government is sidestepping the issue," he said. But some governmental agencies and industries have already switched over. He said the biggest incentive to change is so U.S. goods can compete more favorably in international trade. Suddenly Will Wake Up "What will eventually happen." Dr. Manbeck speculated, "is suddenly our congressmen will wake up and find the country is way ahead of them. They'll pass legislation after the.fact." In Ohio, many road signs in- dicate distances in both kilometers and.miles, he said. A quick tour of a local grocery 1" '" " " ' " ' | ' " "»"»|.. ....... MmnnmiTT 1 METER ^T1 ' ' r ' Til 1 i i i i i | i i i i i i r rn i | i in r 1 YARD store confirmed Dr. Manbeck's statement that many canned goods — literally from (mushroom) soup to (dry roasted) nuts — show the weight in grams as well as ounces. Mrs. Paul May, head of the pattern department at Fabric Village, said -all of the major pattern companies have recently started giving yardage requirements in both meters and yards. She said she. noticed the change about six or eight months ago. Speedometers Show Both A salesman at DuTeau Chevrolet, Jack Linn, said speedometers on the newer model Vegas show kilometers as well as miles per hour. Linn said he wasn't sure why Vega made the switch a couple of years ago, but suspects it "may turn some people on to have both. It gives the European touch." Dr. Manbeck said he tries to introduce all his students to the metric system and his ag engineering students use the metric units almost exclusively. Why? Because it's easier; all figures are a multiple of ten. Three or four years ago it was difficult to order research equip- ment with metric units, he said. But within the past year or two he has" noticed a "tremendous change." Now almost everything is available in metric, he said. Even if the United States did convert to the meter-gram-liter 1 KILOGRAM 1 POUND system tomorrow, it would still be a pace behind more than 120 nations that have recently gone a step further and adopted the International System (SI). Established in 1960, the SI system is simply a modernized version of the metric system, Dr. Manbeck explained. Its basic un- its include the metre, kilogram, second, Celsius (temperature), newton (force), pascal (pressure), watt (power) and joule (energy). Instead of baking a cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit a homemaker would heat her oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Instead of filling a tire with 26 pounds of air. a service station attendant would pump in 180 kilopascals of air- Simple? Many people don't think so. "It's really not as big a deal as some people make it out to be," - Dr. Manbeck said. • Two Or Three Steps He said some companies con- vert to metric in two or three steps, but others have avoided the confusion and pain by saying S I • lain Abernathy said Chenault told him that Aber- nathy himself was No. 3 on a list which included Williams, head of the Atlanta SCLC, and Jackson, who once ran the SCLC's Operation Breadbasket and now heads the Chicago-based PUSH - People United to Save Humanity. "I told him he was in jail and couldn't hurt anybody. He said, "That's all right, there is a group that'll get you,' " Abernathy said. In Chicago, Jackson said: "Conspiracy — that is the word I would use. These assassinations and ac- tions are coming far too frequently for me to sub- scribe to any other theory." Williams, who was jailed in the same building as Chenault on charges stemming from a protest march, agreed with Abernathy that Mrs. King's death was the "result of a conspiracy, the same conspiracy that organized the murdering of the Kennedys and Dr. King Jr." Martha Williams, a member of the church, iden- tified the other shooting victims as Edward Boykin, 69, an Ebenezer deacon, who was killed, and Mrs. Jimmy Mitchell, 65. Mrs. Mitchell, who was wounded in the chest, was in satisfactory condition at Grady, a hospital spokesman said. Another spokesmen said a fourth person, iden- tified as Charles Coleman, 76, was treated for shock and released. He said a bullet went through Coleman's coat. Red Tape Aimed At Holding Funds "from this day on everything -will be metric." Many Americans find the change confusing, he said, because they try to convert ac- curately from one system to another... from one pound to 454 grams or from one quart to 0.95 liters. "The big change wil! be when we see even numbers" — 500 grams of butter or one liter of milk. Li other words, when peo- ple begin to "think metric.-" "It would be nice to have some kind of program, wouldn't it?" he said. "The way things are now we're just drifting along." WASHINGTON (AP) - The Office of Management and Budget deliberately is snarling public works projects in red tape so it won't have to spend ap- ' propriated funds, says the chair- man of a House investigations subcommittee. "Red tape is purposely fostered to keep the budgeted money from getting out," Rep. Jim Wright, D-Tex., told a reporter. '"It is orchestrated by the Office of Management and Budget for the express purpose of keeping the government from spending money authorized by the programs." The OMB is the budget arm of the executive branch of govern- ment. Wright's Public Works sub- committee on investigations held hearings three years ago in an effort to cut through the red tape choking public works programs. Since then he has seen the average processing time for public works grants in an emergency economic program grow from 79 days to 348 days. In one program designed to reduce water pollution, the rules and regulations imposed on grant applicants cut spending in the project's first 15 months to four per cent of the intended level. "The maze of red tape, guidelines, restrictions, regulations, and reporting requirements imposed on grant applicants for pollution programs more effectively threatens the program than do presidential impoundments," Wright said in an interview. Wright's hearings took testimony from James Boren, who founded the National Association of Professional Bureaucrats. The organization spoofs the finger-tappers and paper-pushers of government. Boren said his group "seeks to optimize the creative status quo through applying the principles of dynamic inactivism." Boren may have been joking, but, according to Wright, applicants for grants that could be used to clean up the nation's waterways ran into "the creative status quo." Within its first year, only 517.3 million of $5 billion planned for the clean water program was spent. A spokesman for the En- vironmental Protection Agency, which administers" the water program, acknowledged that it was delayed in its early stages. •'We believe now that's past history and things are proceeding quite rapidly." Demos Back War Evaders' Amnesty By DON WALTON Star Staff Writer Norfolk — Nebraska Democrats Sunday called for amnesty for Vietnam war evadors and elected a predominately liberal delegation to the national mini-convention in Kansas City this December. State Chairman Dick White of Lincoln won re-election to a full two-year term as Democrats completed their two-day state convention. The amnesty plank in the Democratic platform was authored by Wallace Peterson of Lincoln and adopted with only scattered opposition. Bland Platform Junked It replaced a bland platform commitee recommendation urging creation of a committee to study the issue. Thirteen of Nebraska's 14 delegates to the national conven- tion were selected by the state convention. They include White and Associate State Chairman Dorothy l-ey of Wayne, both of whom automatically qualified as delegates by virtue of then- elec- tion to state party posts. National committeeman Tom Kelley of Omaha was elected as a delegate by the full conven- tion, but barely beat Black Caucus nominee Wesley Brown of Omaha on a 148 to 127 vote.

I 2 The Lincoln Star Monday, July 1, 1974 No Immediate Impact Expected From Summit YALTAr U.S.S.R. (AP) - The four agreements signed so far at the third Nixon- Brezhnev summit illustrate a desire to build on the network of ties the two began in 1972, but they will have no immediate, dramatic impact on the average Russian or American. On the personal level, the summit provides fresh evidence of Leonid Brezhnev's comman- ding position in the Soviet Union and reassurance for President Nixon, on top of his Middle East tour, that to the world he remains an immensely powerful figure. Like the other accords, the 10-year agreement to promote trade and technical cooperation signed Saturday can be viewed mainly as a way to keep the momentum of contacts going. The other three — covering artificial hearts, energy and housing — are of the same type, set- ting up joint committees that will discuss cooperation in those fields. They do not offer a sudden new hope for the Russian or American who needs an artificial heart or a quick alleviation of the Soviet Union's nagging housing problem. Watching Nixon reach out for hands to shake in a smiling, respectful Russian crowd is to recall what public life was for him in the United States before Watergate. He the comforts and courtesies are still his: a specially tailored performance at the Bolshoi Theater and document signings in a gilded 19th century czarist hall in the Kremlin. Brezhnev has even pitched hi with a slashing attack on the skeptics of detente in the United States "who favor whipping up the arms race." Yet in some ways the Soviet leader has behaved like a man taking out insurance, in case Watergate should bring Nixon down. The President in a speech said U.S.-Soviet treaties "were possible because of a personal relationship that was established" between himself and Brezhnev. The newspapers Pravda and Izvestia edited the text by dropping the world "personal," so the phrase could be read to refer to relations between the governments, not the men. When Nixon implied that Brezhnev would visit the United States next year for a fourth summit, the translator for Izvestia left out the reference to 197$. Presumably the White House might have a new President not prepared to engage in another round of summitry. Brezhnev, meanwhile, has made a great show of his own rising fortunes, generoucly dividing the four document signings with other Soviet leaders while standing prominently behind them. This and his constant quipping seemed to point up his secure hold on what once was a coalition leadership. Nixon, on the other hand, apparently must cope with real disagreements among his key ad- visers as he tries to come up with a credible weapons control package to take home as proof of his effectiveness. It could be argued that the 10-year trade agreement allows businessmen to plan ahead on a long-range basis, knowing that the two coun- tries want to cooperate over the long pull. But even before the agreement was signed, Occiden- tal Petroleum Corp. signed with Soviet organizations a 20-year agreement on chemicals said to be worth $20 billion. Even without the Nixon-Brezhnev long-term • pact, Soviet-American trade has increased from about $250 million in 1971 to $1.4 billion last year. Thousands of American businessmen have come to the Soviet Union to offer their wares, and millions of dollars in contracts have been signed. Russians are even making Pepsi Cola now. The new agreement will be useful, however, in exchanging information and helping businessmen get housing, office space and secretarial help in Moscow if its provisions are fulfilled. In short, it will improve the climate for trade to be carried out. In 1972 the two powers agreed to expand trade to aid the process of political detente, and many major deals have been made. But the 1972 accord still is a dead letter because a majority of the U.S. Congress refuses to grant credits and tariff concessions to the Soviet Union unless restrictive Soviet emigration policies are changed. In effect, it was the climate and not the exact wording of that agreement that caused the spurt in trade. Summit Talks Still Fail To Settle Missile Issue Yalta, U.S.S.R. (AP) - Presi- dent Nixon held what he called "very intensive and extensive" talks Sunday with Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev on limiting missiles with multiple warheads, but the White House indicated negotiations on the subject remained stalemated. Ronald L. Ziegler, the presidential press secretary, told a news briefing that nothing has happened at the Nixon-Brezhnev summit to cause him to alter previous assessments by a "senior official" that a perma- , nent agreement would be im- possible on curbing the produc- tion of MIRVs — Multiple Independently Targeted Re- entry Vehicles. Ziegler unmistakably referred to earlier statements by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Soviet spokesman Leonid Zamyatin was aksed if he agreed with Ziegler. He said he worked for his own "senior official"- and had nothing of substance to say on the topic. Nixon and Brezhnev conferred for more than four hours Sun- day, then cruised on the Black Sea for nearly three hours, eating a late lunch aboard a Soviet yacht. Ziegler said Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko would fly to Moscow with Brezhnev on Monday to continue their conversations while the President and Mrs. Nixon make a ceremonial visit to Minsk, in Byelorussia, southwest of Moscow. The American spokesman said the President and Brezhnev "reviewed and discussed in detail" the positions of their two countries on new arms curbs. Kissinger already has described the Soviet position as unaccep- table to the United States. Ziegler confirmed at the briefing that the two leaders have completed talks on steps to curb anti-ballistic missiles systems. He said an agreement, which presumably would freeze present ABM systems at one for each country, would be an- nounced Wednesday in a summit-ending communique. The press secretary said Nixon will appear on Soviet television on Tuesday night, then make a personal televised report to the American people the next night on results of the summit con- ference. Ziegler said Nixon will speak during a refueling stop at Loring Air Force Base in Caribou, Maine. From there, Ziegler said, the President will go to his home at Key Biscayne, Fla., for a long Independence Day weekend. Nixon and Brezhnev continued their marathon summit on the Black Sea coast Sunday, after which the President remarked: "We've made a lot of progress." Ziegler followed up Nixon's remark, however, with the qualification that much remained to be done, an obser- vation echoed by Pravda, the organ of Brezhnev's Communist party. Brezhnev, who carried the conversation as he and Nixon posed for pictures at the start of the day's session, declared with a smile: "We've agreed on everything. Now we can take a rest." After talking for more than four hours at Brezhnev's seaside home a few hundred yards from Nixon's borrowed villa, the two men and key aides cruised for more than two hours along the coast in a Soviet yacht. American officials gave few details of Sunday's discussions, but Ziegler said they dealt with arms control and "European matters" that he did not specify.

The slight, pockmarked youth, a ninth-grade dropout, is charged with six of the murders. Justices Forming Bloc Washington — The four justices whom President Nixon appointed to the Supreme Court have formed a bloc that is increasing in both unity and capacity to produce a working majority for their views of the law and the Constitution. This was indicated in a study by the New York Times of 144 decisions in the October-to-June term.

Wrecking Crews Wait For Orders Hunger Strike Emphasizes Lack Of Russian Rights Moscow (AP) — Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov said Sunday he hoped his two-day-old hunger stake would draw the attention of President Nixon and Communist leader Leonid I. Brezhnev to alleged human rights violations in the Soviet Union. Once the Soviet Union's top nuclear physicist and the scien- tist considered responsible for developing the Kremlin's hydrogen bomb. Sakharov said in an interview he has received telephone calls of support from within his country as well as the United States, Britain, Canada, Norway and France. A vase of flowers sent by a well-wisher in Moscow sat on the windowsill of his room. Sakharov, 53, began his fast at midnight Friday in support of an open letter to Brezhnev and Nixon urging them to discuss human rights during their sum- mit meeting. The letter also called for the two to work for the release of 80 Soviet political prisoners. In Yalta, Nixon's press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler was asked if Sakharov's hunger strike Selassie's Advisors Arrested In Takeover Addis Ababa (UPI) — The army began arresting Emperor Haile Selassie's closest advisors Sunday to eliminate opposition to the military's weekend takeover and sent more troops onto the streets of the capital to enforce its rule. Mutinous troops also formed a Supreme Military Council and began talks with the civilian government on the future of Ethiopia. As dusk fell over the capital the army sent scout cars, ar- mored vehicles and machine gun-equipped jeeps into the deserted streets. Troops in battle dress patroled. Several provincial cities — in- cluding the miblary center of Harrar in the East — started curfew restrictions Sunday night diplomatic sources said.

The soldiers appealed to other crown members still at large to surrender and avoid bloodshed. The military announcement said anyone "trying to obstruct our activities will be dealt with severely." It said the army's aim in arresting high officials was "for the benefit of Ethiopia and its people." Observers said that with the crown council now effectively dissolved by the army action, the civilian government of Prime Minister Endalkachew Makonuen impotent and the troops in control of the capital and International Airport, the army was in full charge of Ethiopia. The military still stopped short of calling their movement a coup.

Ziegler dismissed the question by saying: "The matter you referred to was published in the newspapers. The President reads the newspapers...." But a Soviet government spokesman, Leonid Zamyatin, leaned toward the microphone and said he too had a reply, "although this has no relation to the summit whatsoever." "For many years now, Sakharov's behavior has been strange," Zamyatin said. "It is strange that such a well- educated person should behave in such a manner." Sakharov said his only nourish- ment since beginning the hunger strike was mineral water and that the only effects he felt from going without food was "a little headache.'' He said he does not know how long he will continue to fast because "I want to see my capabilities and the reaction in support of my appeal. "It is not an ultimatum strike, but it is so people will pay atten- tion. I have hoped my action will call attnetion to the questions I raised." The scientist, long an advocate of civil rights in the Soviet Union, said he felt a "concrete action" was needed to dramatize human rights issues. Sakharov said he was en- couraged to continue the fast by a phone call from 13 ethnic Ger- mans in the Baltic republic of Estonia declaring a three-day hunger strike in solidarity with him. Meanwhile, Jewish sources in Moscow reported that nine Jews in Minsk, including four former officers in the Red Army, began fasts Thursday in support of their applications to emigrate to Israel. President Nixon is scheduled to go to Minsk Mon- day. In Odessa, a Black Sea port 200 miles from where Nixon and Brezhnev are spending the weekend at Yalta, Jewish sources reported a hunger strike by four Jews who were said to have been waiting two years for exit visas. Soviet police arrested dozens of dissidents before the American President arrived last week. In Tel Aviv, scientists from 18 countries signed a petition protesting the arrests of Soviet scientists planning an un- authorized international con- ference in Moscow. They were among those arrested before Nixon's visit. Nacogdoches, Tex. (UPI) — Fire and the threat of more explosions Sunday kept cleanup crews from clearing the track where, a 43-car Southern Pacific freight train loaded with chemicals derailed and exploded in flames Saturday night. "The cars are still burning and there is still a possibility of another explosion," said a Department of Public Safety dis- patcher. "But the train wrecking crews are standing by waiting for Southern Pacific to tell them to clear the track." Two Highway Patrol officers were treated for inhalation of toxic gas, along with nine others who also suffered nervous symp- toms. The train, carrying acid and plastics, including vinyl chloride and motor fuel, apparently blew up first, causing the 40 cars and three engines to jump the track. "We don't know exactly what chemical it was," a Southern Pacific spokeswoman said. "All we know is that we have a lot of nauseated men in Nacogdoches trying to put the fire out.

"According to information from various witnesses," said Gen. Jose Jaime Rodriguez, of Colombia's civil defense agency, "I believe that the number of deaths are more than 250." Only 29 bodies had been recovered by Sunday, most pulled out as relatives of the dead watched and wept. Of- ficials had said Saturday that 50 bodies had been recovered, but Rodriguez said the lower figure was correct. Father Ruiz, parish priest of a town near the landslide, offered a funeral mass Saturday in the mud while rescuers continued their work. The site of the tragedy was declared sacred ground, and bodies recovered were buried nearby. Authorities speculated that some of the victims might never be found. An estimated 20 vehicles, in- cluding six loaded buses, were caught in the landslide while stopped along the highway waiting for public works laborers to clear a small slide that had fallen previously. Father Ruiz said he tried un- successfully to warn the waiting travelers when he looked up and saw the massive new slide developing. "I ran like I never ran before to warn passengers and drivers that the mountain was falling down," he said. «* Monday, July 1, 1974 Tht Lincoln Star * Killer Sought 1 In Air Search Witness Checks For Thief At Park Roadblock A money bag containing between $500 and $800 in cash was taken from the Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce concession stand at Pinewood Bowl in Pioneers Park during a rock concert Sunday afternoon. Police said a man ran into the stand grabbed the money bag and left in the direction of the pic- nic area. Police set up roadblocks at the east and north exits of the park and had witnesses to the theft checking people as they left. One of the witnesses was Mrs. Penny Singleton, 2333 S. 47th, a member of the Women's Division of the Chamber of Commerce. She was in the concession stand when the money was taken and is shown here checking people with officer Frank Orr. The thief was described as a white male, in his early 20's, five feet ten inches tall, weighing 130 to 145 Ibs., with wavy brown shoulder length hair. He was wearing t)lue jeans and no shirt. (Star Photo.) NASA Research Missiles Project Successful WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP) - The people who brought colored lights and thundering rockets to the East Coast this weekend said Sunday that their effort to launch 54 research missiles in a 24-hour period to test the upper atmosphere was a success. "I would say it generally has been a success from what we can tell from the data available," said a weary Dr. Russ Philbrick, scientific coordinator for the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration's Project "Aladdin." There were some setbacks, however, including the fiery dis- integration of one rocket. The last of the 54 rockets was fired Sunday only 20 minutes behind schedule. Technicians said 41 of the 54 shots were listed as successes, eight as partial successes, and five were failures. More than 100 scientists from the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany, were on hand to view the rockets flash into the skies from six launch pads at this remote NASA base. The missiles ranged in size from 4% feet to 25 feet long and carried payloads of chemicals or sensitive electronic gear designed to probe the earth's atmospheric border with space. The area the missiles pro^-ad was 100 miles above the ground — too high for instrument-carrying balloons and too low for satellites, scientists said. Most noticeable of the series were the brilliant clouds of colorful chemicals spewed into the atmosphere by two 20-foot rockets — one Saturday night and the other at dawn Sunday. Orange, blue and white clouds spread across the sky from the rockets. Scientists estimated that at their brightest point, some of the clouds measured more than 10 miles across. Reports to NASA's control center here indicated the clouds of Navy Has lost Control Of Seas' Washington (UPI) — Adm. Elmo Zun -'alt said Sunday that the United States Navy has "lost control of the seas" and could be defeated in a confrontation with the Soviets. Depending on strategic con- siderations, Zumwalt said m a broadcast interview, U.S. naval commanders should consider keeping their forces out of areas of confrontation. Zumwalt also revealed that he was offered the job of veterans administrator and declined because "domestic politics" pre- veni the VA from providing Vietnam-era veterans the benefits they need. Zumwalt shook off repeated questions about the strategic arms negotiations in Moscow, saying an explicit order from Secretary of Defense James. R. Schlesinger prevents active duty officers from commenting on the SALT negotiations. Zumwalt retires Monday after a four-year stint as chief of naval operations. The admiral was interviewed on NBC's Meet the Press. UPI Adm. Elmo Zumwalt He blamed "inadequate public support for an adequate defense budget" — including what he said was a 47% reduction in ships since 1969, to the lowest level since 1936, and a 24% reduction in aircraft — for the Navy's diminished strength. Zumwalt said "all of us" must bear the responsibility. "We have during my tenure arrived at that position where the United States Navy, the odds are, is not able to perform its mission, which is the tougher mission — being able to control and use the seas — and where the odds are the Soviet Navy can carry out its mission more, the easier mission of cutting sea lines of communication," he said. Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, declined to comment directly on Zumwalt's assessment of Navy needs, but said "Adm. Zumwalt is a great salesman" and "all the services are anxious to get all they can." Symington was interviewed on ABC-TVs Issues and Answers." Zumwalt said both Navy Secretary William Clements and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Thomas Moorer, agreed with him that "it is dangerous for the United States now to deploy its fleet in a bilateral confrontation with the Soviet Union in the Eastern Mediterranean," because the odds are it would be defeated in any conventional war. The admiral was asked if he thought U.S. naval forces should, in a crisis, withdraw from the Mediterranean to prevent such a confrontation. "The calculation to be taken in any given cirsis has to be a calculation based on the probability that your decision- makers feel that there is a likelihood that we'll go to war, then yes, one ought to take those actions against having the fleet in hazard in specific areas of the world until we have sufficient naval capability to be there," he replied. Zumwalt answered "Yes, I was" when asked if he had been offered the post of VA ad- ministrator. As for why he thought the job offered little chance of helping veterans, he replied: "The domestic political situation at this time is such that important, innovative new programs have little chance for success." Hostage Criticizes Sheriff's Tactics Lakewood. Calif. (UPI) —One of two men held hostage in a bar for 17 hours was critical of sheriff's office tactics which pinned two gunmen inside the sunbaked structure without light, power or water. Tony Silva, 57, janitor of the Flite Room said sheriff's deputies should have waited for the men to leave the building rather than surround it Silva and Bernard Eraser, 57, the cook, were held captive from Friday morning until after 2 a.m. Saturday. "When the two came in for the money, they left the door open," Silva said. "They looked like they were going to grab the money and run back out" Sito said if the sheriffs of- ficers had waited they could have grabbed the suspects out- side and "saved me and Barney all that trouble." Building Sorrointded The two gunmen were iden- tified as Ray Johns, 57, and William Mitchell 48. Officers surrounded the building after a waitress phoned them. Fraser said be was reluctant to join Silva in criticism because he had been a member of the sheriffs department while a cook at the county jail for eight years. But Fraser did ssy that during the confrontation, he told Sheriff Peter Pitchess by a special phone hookup to "cut out your goddamn grandstand acts and get as ont of here" Pitchess said he did what he thought iras best to protect the lives of both men, and that he Settlement Criticized Aradarko, Okla. rtJPI) - The head of the National Indian Tribal Land Rights Association called a 135 million setHement made for Indian land in five states a farce perpetuated by government attorneys who met ia secret into Jnbal committees. feared a gun battle might have involved the hostages. "I want to point out," he said, "that there were no injuries, no shots fired, no fire damage or other serious damage to the building except the broken back door.'' Both men said they had been treated well by their captors. The suspects bad demanded a getaway car and driver. Pitchess refused, saying only that the men would not be harmed if they gave up. Temperatures Climb When the power to the building was shut off, the air conditioner went off and temperatures inside the bar climbed to more than 100 degrees. Johns had told Pitchess he wanted to surrender, but that his partner had b*en drinking and wouldn't let him. Minutes later, officers dropped tear gas into the air vents and Mitchell walked out calmly smoking a cigarette. The two were booked on suspi- cion of kidnaping, robbery and grand theft auto. The car they had been driving was reported stolen.

ABU NEBRASKA TYPEWRITER 125 Ho. lift 432-42M n, Nebraska color had been seen at least as far south as North Carolina and as far north as New York. NASA predicted three of the chemical shots would produce the widely visible colored clouds, but the second of the three rockets succumbed to a malfunction in its second stage and tumbled end- over-end in a flaming ball into the Atlantic Ocean Saturday night. Philbrick said the lost rocket had been a key experiment, but he could not say what the effect of its destruction would be on the overall program. Scientsits planned the first evaluation session for Monday. "It will take several weeks to a month to determine what data we have," Philbrick said. "We definitely did lose some valuable material with a couple of the vehicle failures that occurred. We'll have to work around it as best we can." He said it will take scientists about a 18 months to digest results. The massive launching marked the first time so many research rockets were launched in such a short period of time, NASA of- ficials said. Data gathered by the rockets will be used for construction of a molecular diagram of the makeup of the earth's atmosphere on the fringe of space. It may have implications for communications and future space travel. The cost of the project was not revealed. NASA officials said money for the 54 individual projects making up the series came from private universities, foundations and from sponsoring coun- tries. WILLOWS, Calif. (AP) - An aerial search was launched Sunday for 26-year-old John Wayne Card, wanted in connec- tion with three killings and the disappearance of three other persons. A spokesman for the Glenn County sheriff's office in Willows, 115 miles northeast of San Francisco, said searchers were concentrating on the banks of the Sacramento River, which winds through the northern part of California's Central Valley. They were looking especially for a green-and-white pickup truck with a camper attached. Card, a woodcutter from Princeton in Colusa County, was the subject of an all-points bulletin Saturday. Authorities said he was believed to be carrying three pistols and a rifle with a telescopic sight, and was considered dangerous. The bulletin was issued after the deaths Thursday and Friday of Dr. Clayton Griffiths, a Willows veterinarian; his wife, Nancy, and their 13-year-old daughter Lisa Anne. The three missing persons were identified by the sheriff's offke of neighboring Butte County as Kay Skillin, 34, of Old Ferry Road, and her two children, Wesley, 13, and Debbie 12. Officers said the Skillin family , of /L tus and their pickup truck appeared late Friday fr home, which is near Four Corners, northeast Willows. . They said Griffiths and daughter were kidnaped at gun- point Thursday night, and a ran- som demand was made on Mrs. Griffiths Friday. - But after Mrs. Griffiths delivered $5,000 cash, she and her 22-year-old son Raymond were also taken hostage. Raymond escaped late Friday after the abductor ordered him and his mother out of the car at Dayton Four Corners, near the home of Mrs. Skillin and her children. L . Raymond told officers he and his mother were ordered to walk out into a field. At that point, Raymond said he told the gun- man, .. 'if you're going to shoot me, you'll have to shoot me in the back." Raymond said hejhen'broke and ran, and heard a single shot fired behind him. Mrs. Griffiths' body was found later in the same area. The bodies of Griffiths and his daughter, apparently killed late Thursday, were found late Friday near their home north of Willows after Raymond telephoned police. Officers declined to say why Card was named in the all-points bulletin in connection with the case. 9 Killed, 24 Injured In 18-Vehicle Crash El Reno, Okla. (AP) - Nine persons were killed and 24 in- jured Sunday in the chain- reaction collision of 18 vehicles in heavy smoke blanketing Interstate 40 at this central Oklahoma community. All of the vehicles burned after an explosion, Ed Hardy, press secretary to Gov. David Hall, said at the scene. The patrol first said 11 had been confirmed dead in the mul- tiple crashes, but revised the figure downward late Sunday night. Seven persons were hospitalized, the patrol said, one of them in critical condition. . The smoke came from burning grass on both sides of the highway, Hardy said. The cause of the grassfire was not im- mediately known.

A hearing before the Legislature's Agriculture and Environment Committee last week was disheartening for those who favor the establishment of a college of veterinary medicine at the University of Nebraska. For one thing, the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, probably the most in- fluential agricultural voice in the state, an- nounced its opposition to a NU veterinary medicine school at this time because of its support for what it considers to be higher agriculture priorities: the already- approved animal health research center which could be threatened in a competition for funds by a veterinary medicine school; needed improvements in plant science research and the need for higher salaries at Nils Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. It doesn't take a financial wizard to figure out that the creation of a veterinary medicine college, at an estimated cost of $55 million to $60 million, would minimize the possibility of achieving these other ag- related goals. For another thing, the Legislature's Agriculture Committee ended up the hearing last week by agreeing to arrange joint sessions with legislative agriculture committees in four other major beef producing states "in order to determine whether these states will join with Nebraska in the financing and construction of a (regional) veterinary school. . ." The problem there is that when cooperation between states is discussed (especially five; it is difficult enough with two), talk should probably be in terms of decades rather than years and there is a shortage of veterinarians projected for well within the next ten years. The facts are that schools in neighboring states are rejecting Nebraska students at a fast-increasing rate (Sen. John DeCamp said those institutions accepted only 16 or 17 Nebraska applicants out of 150 last ye'ar). There is, moreover, a need for large-animal doctors in the rural areas of Nebraska, one of the leading meat- producing states. It is lamentable that the school wasn't established years ago. The only short-term solution is to increase the level of state funding in order to buy more Nebraska students into the veterinary medicine schools of other states. Meanwhile, the state should as quickly as possible settle the, question of the feasibility of a Nebraska school of veterinary medicine and if the answer is negative, take the lead in pushing the regional concept. The pity of it is that there are many Nebraska youths now who want to become doctors of veterinary medicine and prac- tice in their home state who will not be allowed to do so for lack of educational op- portunity. Obsession With Scandal Last week columnist Bob Considine quoted a British editorial writer who was questioning the American obsession with Watergate. The Britisher, Ferdinand Mount, attributed it to something deep within the character of the people of the United States — which "remains the only great nation to be deliberately founded on high moral principles." Americans more than any other peo- ple, Mount wrote, have to think well of themselves. They "have to believe they are innocent, that their ideals are unsullied by self-interest and that the men who lead them are not only clever, but good. They shy away from the fact that their govern- ment does not work and never has worked like that.. they need a scapegoat to take the blame for the corruption which runs the whole way through American society." We think there is much truth in what Mount says, but a lot of rubbish, too. We don't think Watergate is typical of American character or society-or whatever you want to call it. People are not looking at the President as a scapegoat but as a possible accomplice in something that should be foreign to the American political process. We don't think he'll be railroaded out of office if he's not guilty of any crime or breach of the public trust and if he is guilty, our system will be cleansed by his removal. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with wanting men or women of character to lead us. If we had always accepted scoundrels and hypocrites, we might never have been put in the position to be called a great nation. TSBEK By DON WALTON Hey, big week. Comes now the Fourth of July, the day on which we honor fireworks and hotdogs. And at noon today, one-half of 1974 will have slipped by, leaving us 182V2 days in which to redeem this year's failures. Behind us will be one-half year of great events and nonsense. And, for us in Lincoln, variety with a vengeance — from 33 below zero in the first week of January to 105 above not so many days ago. Parenthetically, let us pause briefly to salute the weatherman. A nicer, longer spring and a more beautiful June we have never known. Okay, still searching for a theme, we ram- ble on. Perhaps something could be said of the ap- proaching election, now four months away. Attention: . , , -A- TY •"" »-, fs *•» Much has been written about the significance of Governor Exon's gubernatorial campaign in relation to future Democratic hopes for a U.S. Senate seat. No doubt, the governor has grown weary of such speculation. Obviously, he does not know now whether he might seek a Senate seat in either 1976 or 1978. Wise politicians — and Jim Exon is one of the wisest — do not make plans that far ahead. Having discussed the Exon Senate possibilities, perhaps too many times, let's take a look at Ihe significance of the 1974 elections in Republican ierms as they relate to those two Senate seats. Roman Hraska will turn 70 this summer. By the time Nebraskans go to the polls in the autumn of 1976 to fill the seat he now holds, the senator will be 72. Cari Curtis turns 70 next year. By the time Nebraskans vote in the 1978 elections to fill the seat he now holds, the senator will be 73. Both Hruska and Curtis experienced un- usually close calls their last lime out. Those 100.000-vote routs they had become accustomed to enjoying disappeared, and both men had to battle lo retain their places in the Senate. Neither has said whether he is serving his last term, or whether he will be a candidate once again. Curtis can wait some time to face- that decision, but it is creeping up on Hruska. Republican leaders say they frankly don't know what Hruska is going to do. Sometimes he looks like a candidate; sometimes they're not so ft ft * Although there should be no shortage of prospects to replace the senators when they leave, two names are the first to pop to the head of those imaginary little lists Republicans are making. They're Charles Thone and John MeCollister, the two incumbent congressmen who are seeking re-election this year. And both face unusually stiff Democratic challenges this year. Hess Dyas. organized and financed as few Democratic candidates have ever been, is after Thone. In Omaha, Dan Lynch, after an impressive primary victory, is given a decent chance of finally getting Omaha Democrats to vote Democratic in a congressional race. If they do, he's in. " So. the point is: If Democratic hopes of a future Senate victory ride with the guber- natorial campaign this year of Jim Exon, so do future Republican Senate possibilities ride with this year's congressional elections. Given the traditional geographical division of Nebraska's two Senate seats, the GOP speculation is that MeCollister would step in for Hruska in 1976 and Thone would wait for the Curtis seat in 1978 (after another congressional election) — if both senators are prepared to step If one or more of the senators decides to go for another term, and i.1 Thone and McCollister survive this year's test then they would have to decide whether they would be willing to wait another six years to seek a possible Senate seat If not considering the relatively narrow Senate contests of 1970 and 1972, and the age of the incumbents, primary- challenges would be a possibility. Actually, I suppose, primary challenges in such an event would be even more likely to come from Republican hopefuls other than the congressmen, considering the rather disciplined GOP tradition of loyal waiting-in-line for one step
