Welfare Manual To Be Rewritten

The state welfare manual ts present ly being rewritten to cl ar i fy certa l n rgu lat Ions. accord ing to Robert Sybrant, of Gallatin County Public Welfare Off ice. The manual should be avai lable In 30 days, Sybrant said.

The need for clarification arose when Sybrant sent letters to Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) parents in­forming them ADC could not duplicate money received for living ex penses through student loans. The new policy would have gone into effect March 1.

This policy change would mean a reduction In grants for approximately 20-30 MSU students. Within one quarter, these students would be forced to qui t school , ac­cordi ng to Bi ii ie Frye, ADC spokesperson and a senior geology major.

"The policy was not clear in t he manual ," said Sybrant. " I felt I was interpreting it properly."

There was an almost im­mediate response from the ADC parents (most are female) whom th is decision .affected , accord ing to Sybrant. invest igate state and federal welfare laws . A 1971 letter, from HEW Regional Attorney John G. Detmer to the regional commissioner of the Office of Education , Indicated Sybrant's interpretation was in conflict with HEW policy . This letter was made avai table by James Craig, of MSU's Financial Aid Office to all those concerned with the conflict.

Craig also sent a letter to the Department of Social and Reh ibil itative Services (SRS) asking if they were aware of the law, ind icat ing student loans will have no bearing on ADC grants .

The 1971 letter gave ADC parents a basis for their complaints , _said Frye. The group arranged a meeting with SRS Director Ted Carkul is and Assistant Director Jack Carlson in Helena on February 20.

Prior to the Helena meeting , the group met with concerned MSU professors , a state representative , the Human Resources Development Council , Bozeman Women 's Political Caucus, and Montana State Low Income Organ izat ion . Letters of endorsement were received from Bozeman Women 's Political Caucus and several MSU professors.

Present at the February 20 meeting were : Bi Ille Frye, spokesperson , Kathy Doney, Pat Frizbee, Kathy Bargus, and Audrey Leonard , ADC representatives ; Director Ted Carku li s , and Assistant Director Jack Carlson , SRS ; Steve Goldstein, state coord inator of Montana State Low Income Organization ; and Brian Hatch , member of the Governor's Council on Poverty.

It was mutually decided clairification of the state welfare policies was needed. The Gallatin County in­terpretation was determined to be incorrect, letters of retraction are now being sent to ADC parents .

In the future , policy will be cons istent throughout the state. A student a MSU will be treated the same as students at Missou la, Butte , or Billings, said Sybrant. This uniformity will benefit both the welfare offices and the recip ients . Everyone will know exactly what the law is , he said . decided to remain organ ized because of these recent problems said Frye.

Germaine Greer: Is It Worth It? by Spencer Myer

Dr. Germaine Greer, author of Female Eunuch, spoke to a crowd of about 600 people last Thursday night in the SUB Bal lroom .

Greer, address ing herself on the subject ; 'Fem inism and Fertility', strongly cr i t icized popular con­tracept ion methods.

"The Pill ," she said , "has several drawbacks. Among those drawbacks are its (the pills) implication in 'cl inical depression'. Also for 156 days of ef fective cont raception each year, a woman must munch the Pill each of 365 days. "

After severely critic izing the IUD method , (especially the SALKON Shield) Dr. Greer asserted , "each individual has the right to her / his own fertility ."

"Yot.1 have to ask yourself ,

is it really worth it?" She was referring to each Individuals means of contraception . " Is elim inating the risk of pregnancy worth hav i ng chemicals in your system or a

Three Quarter System Preferred by Steve Slan

I 1 Agriculture students at

MSU prefer the three quarter school calendar system over the two semester calendar system as shown by a recent study conducted by six MSU students enrolled In a speech communications class (102).

85% of these students , some of which were out of state students, preferred tne quarter system over the semester system for a variety of reasons. One of the largest concerns was shown by 94% preferring the .later starting time In the fall offered by the quarter system. Many of these students commented that due to wheat harvest running Into September, they could not attend a semester system school because of fall starting schedule of late August and early September ..

A questionnaire was given to 56 ag students and students of other currlculums who come from farms or ranch homes. These students were chosen af random and provided an overall sample.

Students who's work Is required at home to the extent that they must skip one quarter per year, expressed the fact that by skipping one quarter per year It will take them approximately 6 years to finish a regular lout year program . If they were forced to skip one semester per year, the same degree would take eight years to complete.

The quarter system would also allow for a wider variety of classes available to the student wishing to get Into many different subject areas as is the case of most agricultural clrrlculums .

The only favorable aspect of the semester system is relatiori to ag students was shown by a 68% agreement In that the semester system allowed for a better time to

get out in the spring. Most semester system universities get aut around May 10 and the quarter system about one month later, June 10. Semester schools start about one month earlier than quarter schools .

Eighty per cent stated that a shorter vacation was better in the winter months work load is lighter at hlme.

We realize that this study exemplifies the views of only one of the many colleges In the university and admit that the semester system might br advantageous to some people. That is not the case for the majority of agriculture students at MSU . We hope this study Is taken into consideration when the decision must be made to switch to the semester system or not.

Coal Generating Topic

Wendland Beezhold and Richard J. Rosa are to speak on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), an Innovative method of generating electricity from coal , tonight , March 9 at MSU.

Open free to the public, the talk will start at 7 p.m. In 201 Reid Hall. The talk Is part of an alternative energy course being offered by the MSU Continuing Education Department.

Beezhold is director of the $1 .1 million MSU-MHD Research Program. One of the world's leading pioneers in MHD power generation, Rosa I~ technical manager and senior scientist on the program.

Rosa built the world's first successful MHD generator in 1959. His 1068 book, "MHD Energy Conversion, " is considered the definitive text on the process.

MHD uses high temperature gas flow and magnetic forces to extract electricity from coal. The technique Is considered more efficient and less polluting than con­ventional coal-fired power plants.

In addition to explaining the MHD process, Beezhold and Rosa will talk about the various MHD-related research projects being carried on at MSU under a grant from the U.S. Energy Research and Development Agency (ERDA).

I Bicentennial Officials Fret by Biii McGraw

Dr. Greer also said that individuals who seek means of contraception often run into difficulties , but added "If its worth it In the long run, you'll find a way."

partici pants mall the checks to her home, 922 South 3rd, Bozeman . She Indicated the checks will be deposited in the safety deposit.

The total MPG checks will break the $1 ,000 mark in the next day or two, Saunders noted.

The officials fear that terrorists will find It hard to pass up the tempting targets of mi l lions of people darting about the continent taking part not only In Bicentennial activities, but also In the Montreal summer Olympics as well as the Republ lean and Democratic conventions. The month of July, when many of the main events take place, strikes particular fear in officials' hearts.

" I am not crying wolf," said FBI Director Clarence Kelley earlle this year, " but It would be wise to prepare for the worst."

Other federal officials have taken Kelley at his word and expensive preparations are under way all across the nation. The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration has offered American cities $1 million to upgrade security efforts this summer but only half that amount has been requested and allocated, causing officials to worry that their warn ings ar not being taken seriously .

The US Customs Bureau has asked Congress to allocate $23 million just tor use at US-Canadian border points, fearing a heavy influx of terrorists from the Olympic Games, which start July 17.

When the Off ice of Management and the Budget arved the huge request down to $2.7 million , Custom's officials protested, pointing to recent terrorist attacks In Europe, the La Guardia bombing and the bloody memory of the Arab attack on the Israeli team at the Munich games in 1972 . Another source of concern Is Quebec's own history of political violence, which is bothering Canadian officials charged with protecting Queen Elizabeth , who Is expected to visit both Canada and the US during July .

US police sources say there have already been a number of threats of Bicentennial violence . The " Emiliano Zapata Unit," a Californ ia Chicano group, has threatened commando-type political assassinations and kidnapings and a band of Puerto Rican lndependance­seekers say they will Invade Philadelphia July 4th with thousands of angry blacks and Indians. President Ford Is scheduled to be In the city that day.

Although officials can 't say for sure whether the threats are real, they aren't taking chances. " About the time we

Thirty-four Years Is Time Enough

Mansfield's Remarks

To The President

Mr. President: In 1942 I was elected for

the f irst time to serve In the 78th Congress as a representative of the people of the Western District of Montana ; and , for an ad­d iti onal fo ur consecutive terms, was re-elected to the House.

In 1953, I entered the 83d Congress after being elected as a Senator from Montana and sworn as a Senator of the United States ; and for three additional consecutive terms , was re-elected to the Senate.

In 1957, the Senate elected me a Majority Whip and, in 1961 , as Majority Leader. The flow of responsibility has been continuous from 1943 onwards.

These year in the Congress of the United States span a complete change in the membership of ttie Senate,

· except for the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Eastland) and the Senator from Arkansas (Mr . McClellan), both of whom entered the Senate in the same year of my entry into the House.

These years encompass: --one-sixth of the nation's

history since independence, - the administrations of

seven Presidents , --the assassinat ion of a

President and other extreme outrages aga i nst human decency,

--able pol it ical leadership and seamy pol i t ics and chicanery ,

-- the dawn of the nuclear age and men on the moon ,

--a great war and a prelude to ,

--two more wars and an uneasy peace,

--a dim perception of world order and an uncertain hope for international peace.

Through this and more, the Senate, together with the House, has been the people's institution . In all this and more, I have believed and bel ieve It still , that the federal government will not atrophy

and the people's 11bert les wil l be safe from tyranny if the Senate remains vigorous , independent , and vigilant.

The Senate is stronger, more responsive , more alive, more innovative, today, than it was at the time of my entry so many years ago .

As the 94th Congress--my 17th Congress-moves towards a close, I find myself in my 72nd year . I am In good = ========I health and of clear mind . My ........ .. interest in the Senate remains deep and I have not become indifferent to the nation 's affairs.

Insofar as running for the Senate again is concerned , in a Constitutional sense, it is my judgement that only the people by their votes can deem a candidate too old for office. Or, to be sure, an incumbent may so deem himself. Either way , that is not a decisive factor in my own case.

My conclusion has been reached in this instance with my wife, Maureen Hayes Mansfield , who has been with me through al I these years and whose sensitive counsel , deep understanding and great love have been so much a part of whatever may be the sum of my contribution .

It seems to me that the time has come to perform a final public service ; to the nation , to the Senate, and to the people of Montana. A great public trust has been reposed in me in so many ways and for so many years. For whatever t ime remains to me I shall ever be grateful to the nation , the Senate, and to my state for this confidence.

I ask now that this trust be shifted to other shoulders . In particular, I ask the people of Montana to tap a new source from within the state--a new source of dedication and leadership to send t-0 the Senate in the 95th Congress.

There is a time to stay and a time to go. Thirty-four years is not a long time, but it is time enough.

I will not be a candidate for election to the Senate of the 95th Congress .

How many really wor­thwhile things do you know of that are free for the taking? It used to be that " the best things in life" were.

But people like land developers and sub-d ividers , have discovered that even they can be put to work and bring a handsome price. One precious commodity has thus far escaped bel ng con­sumerized -- it is still free for the asking -- but nobody seems to want to take it.

That alone has probably put you on ,notice. If nobody wants it it can 't be worth much . What can you do with it anyway? Oh , you can use it for giving birth and , paradoxically , for dying. In between it's useful in planting

Neither building up nor tearing down can get along without it. Sound familiar? Like something you've heard before? Maybe sung? or even prayed? I wouldn't be sur­prised .

There is a very famous poem about it. It's found in the book of Ecclesiastes.

There is a time for every occupation under heaven :

A time for giving birth , a time for dying ; a time for planting , a time for uprooting what has been planted

A time for killing , a time for healing; a time for knocking down , a time for building.

A time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for mour­ning, a time for dancing .

A time for throwing stones away, a time for gathering them up ; a time for em­bracing , a time to refrain from embracing .

A time for searching , a time for losing ; a time for keeping , a time for throwing away.

A time for tearing , a time for sewing ; a time for keeping silent a time for speaking .

A time for loving , a time for hating ; a t ime for war, a t ime for peace.

Contract Marriage Brings Reactions Special from the

High Country

BY DEBORAH NASH Local inquiries Into

" contract marriage" en­counter a degree of surprise, interest, speculation, and questions, as well as a few eyebrows . A typical comment: "More attention is given to

preparing someone to drive a car than is spent preparing people to marry In our society," was given by several local marriage counselors. These same counselors

spend a great deal of time ehumeratlng the Initial motives of a marriage, the broken commitments and the shattered expectations of couples in marital trouble in an effort to rebuild the family unit. Would exploration of

motives, expectations and responsibilities of marriage in a written contract prior to the act build stronger marriage realtions? Would It eliminate some of what statisticians estimate to be a 50 per cent RIUS divorce rate?

Growing Number Support One noted sociologist,

Marvin B. Sussman, Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University, has gathered over 1500 con­tractual marriage agreements which support these hopes in his research on the subject. And several sources note

that, although contracts have long been used by "wel 1-to­do's" to protect estates from arbitary divorce proceedings, a growing number of middle­class couples are turning to prenuptual agreements which clarify their expectations. Problem marriages, too, are

often mended through therapy using written con­tracts which spell out , after considerable deliberation, the needs and desires of the involved parties. And irreparable marriages

are many times terminated harmoniously by use of written contracts which delineate the responsibilities and commitments to follow.

Issues Covered If that be the case, what

issues are dealt with in marriage contracts? Everything from petty household chores to fidelity

· stipulations. Some contracts include

renewal clasues. Others are oriented toward

possible dlssoluslon In an effort to prevent the In­conslstencles of divorce court from destroying financial solvency for either party . Some contracts Include clauses which turn disputes over to an impartial arbitrator. 'Actually, the original 50-50 rights and duties contract for marriage relations was reportedly negotiated bet­ween Alix K. Shulman , New

York, and her husband, in 1969. The Idea Is said to have been an offshoot of her in­terest in women's liberation. Theirs was a 6600 word

contract which stressed rights and duties , not privileges and favors. Shulman 's husband, ac­

cording to sources , was opposed to the setup initially, feeling it was too demanding of his time. However, he now believes it is the only fair way in a marriage relationship. Shulman did not believe a

.contract is a "band-aid" to the marital relations report sources, but rather releases the woman from the role of " slavish homemaker." And, of course, the

negotiated marriage contract is uniquely different for each couple.

In fact, the variations in existing contracts can number almost as many as the individuals draft ing them. Though some sociologists

predict that the state will continue to maintain jurisdiction over marital relations and will, therefore, limit the kinds of contract available in future years, others believe that the variation found in individually written contracts can be good.

Marriage Not Static Marriage is not an

established, static relationship , says one local marriage counselor.

Marriage, he says, Is a growing situation -- learning to take on new standards , new values, new respon­sibilities without feeling threatened. But a written guide to

marriage can tend to lock interactions into set behaviors, comments another. This can cause problems from the outset of the relationship. Some proponents believe

renewal clauses in marriage contracts gives them the flexibility necessary in today's plural society .

"Contract" Not New The Idea of marriage as a

"contract" is not a new one. In fact , the laws of Montana specifically define marriage as a "civil contract". . "Contract marriage" , as the term is used today, however, does not refer to the obligations stipulated by the

state through traditional marriage agreements. .Rather it refers to the

decisions made between the parties themselves. The difference between the

two types of "contracts", written and state, Is that traditionally the obligations have not been enumerated. (i.e., they can be found In this complex legal jargon of the state-but are not a required consideration upon ap-

~ ----·- -~-----~

plication for a marriage I icense)--one can enter a marriage totally oblivious to the unpresented yet existent rulings only to discover through discord or divorce what these are.

Some Obllgatlons Such obvious facts as

concealing prior marriages, imprisonments, or dubious affiliatons are grounds for dissolution of a marriage. But, moreso, such

obligations as a willingness to raise children; engaging in, at least occasional, sexual relations; cohabitation in places the husband designates; and other im­portant, but sometimes undiscussed, considerations are concealed in the traditionally starry-eyed " I do."

And, of course, some very capricious financial and property agreements exist in the marriage relations assumed today.

Some that pop into mind at this time of year are stipulations of the IRS regarding married persons . §Other significant property and financial matters are probate and, of course, divorce procedelngs. A multitude of other similar matters exist, also.

According to a woman sociologist who deals with theraputic contracts, con­sideratons of matters such as probate or divorce shou Id not stigmatize a marriage, but rather enhance it. Many couples apparently believe that to discuss divorce decisions makes that action inevitable. All these agreements ,

usually considered after the fact, are to be abided by upon signature of the parties to a state marriage license.

Many Facets to Cover ,Great debates could con­ceivably take place about whether or not a written marriage contract could cover every facet of the laws that currently govern marriage partners.

But sociologists seem to view the contract more as a guide to basic understanding between the partners. §And the legality of a contract marriage is still in limbo, according to a member of the Montana State University home economics dept.

Legality In Montana In Montana a contractual

marriage agreement, as such, is not legal, that Is, en­forceable, says one local lawyer. However, because Montana

recognizes common law marriage , living together under such contractual arrangement seems legal. ,But, says this lawyer, the stipulations In the contract

are not the legal binds of that type marriage (common law) in this state ; simply the fact that a couple "holds them­selves out" as a married couple allows the legality of the relationship -- contract or no. Currently the laws of the

new Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act , Revised Codes of Montana, would supercede any conflicting Individual contract provisions , ac­cording to one lawyer, though marital contract agreeements have not been tested in Montana courts. Marriage contracts in

Montana might be considered "legal" under the non­solemnization section (48-130 ACM) of the state's marriage laws in that the written contract would serve in place of reciting vows before a magistrate or minister.

However, such a contract would require signatures of two witnesses, just as an optional form of solem-

YDV B~ nu; J~E .. JU~ FOta ~elf. ..

nization does and It requires information which is found in solemnized marriages. Some of these are names, ages and residence of the parties, their parents, the fact of marriage, statements of competence in entering "the marriage contract" (i.e., state marriage agreement), and formal acknowledgement of the document before the clerk of the district court of said county.

Meet State Requirements ·That means the fees would

still be paid, the state medical requirements would be fulfilled, and, technically, the laws of the state would supercede any conflicting provisions , once again. Sussman, in his marriage

contract studies, believes most contracts even those drawn up by lawyers are ambiguous and would probably be overruled In a court challenge (Time, Sept. 1, 1975).

by Chris Waltersklrchen

The Bobcats qualified for the regionals by placing second In Cheney.

The first game's opponent was the Un iversity of Idaho, a team the Bobcats had beaten twice earlier. This game was

no different than the first two as the Cats won with some ease, 65-46.

In the second game, Central Washington was the obstacle to the title game. Central proved to be a worthy op­ponent , but the Bobcats won going away 73-46.

The championship game was hardly a cake walk for the Cats, as Boise State was the opposition . lt was a close game throughout , with Boise finally taking the title 52-41 .

This weekend , the Bobcats wi ll start regional play with a game against Portland , a team they beat during the regular season.

Former Censor Official Bootlegs Banned Books I News Round Up I

(CPS)--Been wondering what happened to that copy of "Gulag Archipelago" . you sent your dlssisdent cousin in Moscow that he neve'. received? Blame Andrei Sokolov .

Sokolov, 48, was formerly a top dog in the "Second Department" in the Chief Board for Protecting State Secrets From Publication, the soviet Censorship depart­ment. For the past 15 years , Sokolov has been dipping into the Second Department's ample supply of banned booty and funneling it into the Soviet black market , where it drew a hefty price. When investigators busted Sokolov, they found 170 sacks of supposedly destroyed loot which crammed every nook and cranny of his office.

Accord i ng to the Washington Post , Sokolov will now have to leave his two apartments , two wives and two yearly vacations for a seven year , hard labor hitch In prison .

BRAZIL GETS MAJOR POWER STATUS

The United States formally promised to treat Brazil as a major power and ally, but leaders on both sides Indicated that they have serious disputes.

A ten-point agreement was signed by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonie Francisco Azeredo da Silvera.

The agreement recognizes Brazil as an ally and world power by calling for twice-a-year consultation between the two countries on global matters . Included was a plan to accelerate American technological assistance in Brazi l.

The agreement also sets up procedures to settle the poten­tially disruptive economic disputes that exist.

STATES TO LOSE $2 BILLION IF REVENUE SHARING ENDS The Federal revenue sharing program, which was approved in

1971 and began returning money to state and local governments in 1972, expires Dec. 31, 1976.

The program presently provides funds to the states and municipalities from federal revenue collections. The local governments are given twice as much as the state governments. The individual governments are allowed to spend the money as its needs dictate.

Should the $2 billion revenue-sharing funds not be available next year, states have indicated that tax increases and serv.ice cutbacks might be imposed . Most states figure revepue-shar1ng funds make up between 2 per cent and 6.5 per cent of their annual income.

A spokesman for the House Government Operations Sub­committee on inter-governmental relations , which will begin hearings on revenue-sharing this week, said that total elimination of the program is unlikely.

RADIATION FACT KEPT SECRET FROM EMBARGO STAFF -

A former CIA employee has announced that the United States government has been aware of potentially harmful radiation levels at the American Embassy in Moscow for 10 years, but kept it a secret from embassy employees.

It was disclosed last week that highly concentrated levels of microwave radiation has been recorded in the embassy, ap­parently the result of Soviet eavesdropping efforts .

State Department officials have declined to comment , but said that there is no evidence ye_t that the health of any past or present employee has been effected by the radiation .

TERRORIST BOMB PLANT RAIDED San Francisco police arrested six persons in a raid on a

makeshlfi bomb factory run by elusive terrorist groups. Charles Bates , San Francisco's FBI chief, said he hoped the

arrests had "broken the back" of the New World Liberation Front and Emiliano Zapata Unit. Both these groups have claimed responsibility for numerous bombings in the San Francisco Bay area in the past two years.

Agents said 130 to 150 pounds of explosives and other weapons were confiscated in the raid. The house also contained stacks of literature from the NWLF, Emi liano Zapata Unit and the New Dawn Collective--a Berkely based group that distributes radical tracts .

Autborities say the New Dawn Collective has acted as an above ground support group for the NWLF and Emiliano Zapata Unit. The group relays messages from the under-ground terrorist groups to news media and the public.

The NWLF threatened the Hearst family last week in a message that claimed responsibility for the $1 million bombing of the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, 150 miles south of San Francisco.

U.S. ECONOMIC PICTURE LOOKING GOOD

The index compiled by the government to indicate the nations economic future showed its strongest gain in six months during January, the Commerce Department reported last week.

The impact of the recovery is also reflected in the U.S. in­ternational trade. The government reported a deficit in January. The deficit resulted from consumers buying imported goods fas ter than U.S. businesses sold goods abroad.

The initial recovery was primarily due to consumer spending stimulated by Federal taxcuts and rebates. These statist ics reinforce predictions made earlier of a possible upswing in business spending and investrpents.

Other factors that influenced an upward trend on the com­posite index were a 9.2 per cent increase in stock prices and a 13 per cent increase in orders for new factories and facilities . These orders are the capital goods wh 'ch expand job op­portunities and foster more efficient production .

I National News I IRS SUSPECTS MAJOR CORPORATIONS OF FRAUD

A spokesman from the Internal Revenue Service indicated poss ible fraud in tax returns filed by major corporations have been discovered . ·

The compan ies have been warned that IRS agents "are looking for possible criminal cases," said the spokesman. The cor­porations were not named.

If convicted of fraud, a corporation could receive a heavy tine. The responsible corporate officer of officers could be im­prisloned for up to five years, in addition to being fined .

As a resu lt , special agents of the IRS's Intelligence Division specializing In crim inal cases, were called to determined whether fraud was actually committed.

The audits were intensified after recent disclosures noting a number of major corporations have paid millions of dollars at home and abroad In kickbacks, bribes, and political donations, some of them i llegal.

Many of the payments made by these corporations were not i ~egal under the laws of the foreign countries. They are illegal in the U.S. and they can't be deducted on U.S. income tax returns.

PILOT CHARGES NAVY WITH EXCESSIVE TORTURE

Lt. Wendell R. Young of Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego is f iling a lawsuit in Superior Court seeking $15 million in damages incurred wh i le he was a simulated Navy survival prisloner of war camp .

Known as the Survival , Evasion , Resistance, and Escape School, the camp was established to help Navy personnel, especially airmen , to withstand enemy mistreatment in the event of capture . . Young , a pilot, said repeated beatings , cramped confinement

for 16 hours in a 30-inch-square " tiger-cage" and other tortures had left him with a broken back, a fractured rib and spinal in­juries. They al legedly ended his flying career.

He also said he was denied medical treatment by the Navy except for pain pil ls . When he asked to be taken off flying status because of pain he was sent to Balboa Naval Hospital where he received indifferent attention and was regarded as a psychiatric case, he said .

Young's attorney, Dale F. Meyers, reported several other young Navy men were prepared to testify to "even more atrocious excesses" at the survival camp.

. Accord ing to Young , the Navy warned all those who attended the camp that If they disclosed what went on inside, the secretly operated compound or told of its existence, they would be court-martlaled and receive a less-than-honorable discharge.

Navy information officers declined to comment on the ac­cusations.

WIND EROSION DAMAGES PLAINS

The Agriculture Department has reported wind erosion has damaged more than 4.5 million acres of land in the drought­parched Great Plains since last fall. This Is nearly double the damage inflicted last season , and the most damage recroded In two decades.

The department said surveys In 341 countries including a 1 O plain states area, showed 90.7 per cent of the damages land was in crops, which include winter wheat planted last fall . The survey was for the period from last Nov. 1 through Feb. 29. The most critical time runs from Nov. 1 through April 30.

Although the dry weather and wind has boosted the average of land damages this season, it Is still far below the " Dust Bowl" of some other years .

OIL GIANTS HOLD SECRET TALKS

On Saturday in Panama City, Florida, officials of Exxon, Texaco, Mobi l, and Standard Oil of California met with Saudi Arabia's oi l minister, Sheik Yamani. The talks are centered around the future of Aramco, the consortiun which pumps most of Saud i Arabia's oil.

The meetings have been closed to reporters and shotgun­armed securi ty guards patrolled the resort. Security precautions were the ti ghtest ever seen at this quiet resort community.

The presen ts of Yamanl and the otticals from Exxon, Texaco, and Mobil indicate negotiations are being worked on for complete national ization of Aramco. Saudi Arabia holds 60 per cent Interest in the company and the U.S. companies hold 40 per cen t.

The Companies agreed to sell their 40 per cent to Saudi Arabia for between $1 .5 billion and $2 billion.

CANCER RATE SOARS

Government' experts on health statistics estimate the death rate from cancer rose at a faster rate last year than in any previous year since World War II. They also indicated In 1974 the rate was abnormally high .

No one is certain what the rise means or how long the trend will continue, but specialists are intensely interested in the figures because the large majority of human cancers are believed to depend on environmental facJors.

Complete figures for 1975 are not available yet , but National Center for Health Statistics specialists estimate the rate rise between 1974 and 1975 will between 2 and 3 per cent. Over the past two decades , the rate has risen by 1 per cent a year.

The cancer death rate represents the number of persons per 100,000 of the population who die of cancer during a given year. For 1974, the latest year for which complete figures are available, the rate was 170.5 per 100,000.

Specialists at the center do not view the high rates with alarm because the factors influencing the increases are diverse and were probably experting their influence 20 years or more ago. Many cancers are believed to take decades to develop.

ABORTIONS FAVORED INDICATED BY NEWSPAPER POLL

Readers of the weekly National Observer voted to retain legalized abortion in the United States in a "plebiscite" spon­sored by the newspaper.

Out of 13,572 returned ballots, 9,683, or 71 .4 per cent voted to let stand the 1973 Supreme Court decision legal izing abortion.

A total of 3,247 ballots , or 23.9 per cent voted for amending the Constitution to outlaw all abortions, and only 642 , or 4.7 per cent voted to amend the Constitution to return abortion policy to the states - the proposal President Ford put forward Feb. 3.

POSTAL SERVICE EXPERIENCES FINANCIAL CRISIS

J.T. Ellington, senior assistant postmaster general, an­nounced that some of the options for cutting costs in the deficit plagued Postal Service are three-day-a-week delivery or eliminating delivery on Saturday. ·

Postal officials said the elimination of Saturday delivery would save $350 million per year and the savings would be higher If delivery were cut during the week . The postal deficit Is estimated to reach a record $1.5 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976.

Some members of Congress and leaders of postal unions feel the country would not accept a cutback in mall delivery to three days a week.

The Postal Service would have to obtain approval of the Postal Rate Commission , an Independent agency, before eliminating any services.

A bill that would double government subsidy for three years is sponsored by Sen . Gale McGee, D-Wyo. , who Is chairman of the Senate Post Office Committee. President Ford opposes the bill , and a similar proposal was voted down in the House last fall.

The Postal Service is also facing a law suit by 44 Congressman for the closing of small post offices to save money . U.S. District Court Judge John L. Smith issued a temporary restraining order against the Postal Service for their actions.

So far 180 offices, operating at a deficit , have closed and about 600 others are under scrutiny. The Postal Service said the order would result in a loss of about $5,500 a day. The Judge's order stops the closing of any more offices.

The Congressmen have accused the Postal Service of a massive assault on the country's small communities.

The financially troubled Postal Service says it can save millions of dollars per year without hurting mail service by closing rural post offices.

When the agency closes one of its small post offices it replaces it with rural route delivery or contracts with a local citizen to carry on post office functions as a part-time en­terprise.

Anew loudspeal~er generation

fromSonah. A Vision In Sound

Innovation in acoustical engineering allow this new generation of speakers, when compared to similar size, con­ventional speakers, to cope with notes half an octave lower on the bass register.

Moreover the speaker case Itself is designed according to the bass reflex principle. This enables Sonab to make more effective use of the speaker element than is possible with the con­ventional sealed box.

The advantages of the new generation of Sonab speakers might be summarized as follows :

a wide frequency range a flat frequency response curve a minimum of dlstorltlon good transient reproduction optimal balance between direct and reflected sound

Crazy Flick

by Rachel R. Bacon

Ken Kesey produced several works typ ical of the period of his t ime ; the 1950s "beat" era and the respective writers , A lan Glnzburg, Gregory Corso and Jack Kerouac, created class ics as Howl, Gasoline, and On the Road.

Kassey had influence and notoriety among these and others, thoughout of a series ,of smal l , preachy and rather feeble philosophical books. He had only one triumph Nial has yet to be outdone or equaled in sheer strength and Impact . One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest is a monu menta l book , a ti ghten ing , powerful play , and now a sensitive , brilliant movie.

Much of the strength of the Him lies in Jack Nicholson's overwhelm ing performance as McMurphy, a man brought to an insti tu t ion for the insane.

· McMurphy takes it upon himself to bring l ife into the wards and to undermine the authoirity of the head nurse.

his role with the mastery and aplomb evidenced In his fllms from Five Easy Pieces to Carnal Knowledge. Every character he has played, seems written to utilize his cocky swagger; sardonic, shifting eyes, confident grin and nasal, semi-controlled voice, usually raised in anger.

Nicholson was born to protray the frustrated . outraged individual sub­merged in each of us, winning small Insignificant victories and barely surviving crushing defeats.

Enough has been said about the true meaning of Cuckoo's Nest , sanity in a crazy world , institutions a detrimental rather than healing, authority as crippling instead of a guiding in-

fluence. Kesey presented an in­

stltut ion, not unlike the Soviet system of "insane asylums ," where political prisoaers are sent to keep them hidden from society, and the world from their affect.

Whether or not the facts of the book and the resulting play and movie are true, the effect is one ot continuing disbelief and wonderment of who is crazy and who Is not, and what is crazy , anyway?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a montage of character studies that all have one peculiarity ; seeing frustratio buried in various stages of broken spirit. If that's what is meant by crazy, Kesey was right; we all are.

Ralph Nader feels that President Ford's plans for increased consumer representation within government departments should be referred to the Federal Trade Commission as a fraud against the public.

Nader's Public Citizen Congress Watch has released an analysis of the plans which they consider a camouflage to cover a potential veto of the bill to create an Agency for Consumer Protection. That legislation has passed the House and the Senate.

Public Citizen says that under the plans, the departments will view consumers paternistically, allowing them to participate but not being required to do so. It says consumers have no rights to appeal government decisions; consumer representatives within departments will be hampered by a lack of independence; and regulatory agencies which make decisions affecting consumers are not covered .

The Public Citizen group also argues that at the Agriculture Department, consumers would have no right to attend meetings of that Department's proposed Committee for Consumer Responsiveness but may be invited. However the department intends to set no timetables to allow adequate consumer comments on proposals, some of which could be controversial , such as the recent change in beef grading standards.

While Lee Richardson was chief of the FEA consumer office before resigning in 1974, weekly meetings were held to allow input from consumer representatives.
