Heavy Jungle Battles Spread
SAIGON (UPI)-Heavy fighting flared today in the
mountain jungles northeast of the U.S. airstrip at Khe Sanh
and U.S. fighter-bombers flew through lowering clouds to
bomb North Vietnamese artillery shelling U.S. positions.
American reinforcements were rushed to the scene.
The situation was fluid and confused and it was not clear
whether the American units just below the Demilitarized
Zone were surrounded by North Vietnamese units infiltrating
through the DMZ. But the Communists kept up heavy
pressure and shot down another U.S. helicopter today,
The American units involved were part of the 9,000-man
force in the northwest corner of South Vietnam to back the
South Vietnamese invasion of Laos. The South Vietnamese
themselves ran into heavy fighting and reported two battles
west of the border post of Lang VeL
Toll Rises
Front dispatches said five Americans were wounded in
today's action, bringing the American toll since start of the
operation to 38 killed, 86 wounded and three missing. Front
dispatches said 12 Americans were killed Tuesday and today,
Dispatches from Quang Tri said Air Force, Navy and

carried out at least 18 air strikes today at the Communist
artillery. The reports said an Army UH1 Huey helicopter was
shot down there this afternoon but the crew was rescued.
Military spokesmen in Saigon said a reinforced company of
Communist troops-150 or more men-had attacked near
Combat Base Scott, manned by units of the U.S. 5th Infantry
Division (Mechanized) and that reinforcements were sent to
the scene today.
Other fighting was reported Tuesday and today near the
Rockpile, another U.S. fire base five miles below the DMZ. A
delayed report said the 5th Mechanized Infantry killed 46
North Vietnamese in a battle there last weekend.
Spokesmen at Quang Tri said that by late today U.S. artillery was "ringing the area," indicating that an American
force had been cut off by the Communists. Air strikes were
carried out despite ceilings as low as 500 feet in the mountainous area .
Reports of the fighting inside Laos indicated the Communist resistance was stiffening.
A South Vietnamese military spokesman said government
forces killed at least 78 Communists in fighting in Laos today
and the U.S. air strikes had knocked out four more Soviet-

built tanks and three antiaircraft guns in Laos. This brought
to 13 the number of tanks reported destroyed.
Attack Missile Site
The U.S. Command disclosed, meanwhile, that American
jets attacked a North Vietnamese missile site in North
Vietnam Tuesday in the third such ''protective reaction"
strike in three days after Communist radar locked on an
unarmed U.S. reconnaissance plane.
Military sources disclosed recently the United States had
greatly increased its reconnaissance over North Vietnam
since start of the South Vietnamese operation in Laos but
have not reported any major North Vietnamese buildups.
In Saigon terrorists tossed fire bombs against the fence of
the U.S. embassy tonight, the third successive day of
terrorist actions against American property in the South
Vietnamese capital.
Reports from Laos said meanwhile Communists were still
putting pressure on the government's defense headquarters
at Long Cheng, in the mountains 90 miles north of Vientiane
in northern Laos but that the situation in the country was
generally quiet.

Claims Calley transfixed

•
•

•

FT. BENNING, GA.- LT. WILLIAM L. CALLEY JR., his
defense contends, was so overcome with the stress of the moment
of My Lai that he was like a man who stands transfixed at the
sight of a speeding car bearing down on him, unable to move to
safety. The defense called two psychiatrists today to state - out
of the presence of the jury - that their expert opinion was that
Calley suffered diminished mental responsibility so great that he
did not have the capacity to premeditate murder, to kill persons
without justification or excuse, to determine the legality or
illegality of orders given by his company commander, Capt.
Ernest L. Medina, who allegedly told his men to wipe out
everytlling in the Vietnamese hamlet, or to form the specific
intent to kill someone.

Ohio banks follow leader
MANY OHIO BANKS, FOlLOWING THE LEAD of New
York and Chicago financial institutions, have lowered their prime
interest rate to 53/,per cent. The Cleveland Trust Co. was the first
to announce the lower rates Tuesday in that city, cutting a quarter
of a per cent off the prime interest.
Three Cincinnati banks also followed suit - the First
National Bank of Cincinnati, the Central Trust Bank and the
Southern Ohio Bank. Columbus banks were also expected to
respond to the seventh round of cuts since last November in the
prime rate, which determines the interest charged to big business
borrowers.

Students scramble to safety
COLUMBUs-A CAR CRASHED INTO a Scioto-Darby Local
School bus Tuesday, killing the motorist and setting both vehicles

Killed was Darrell Russell, 26, Plain City, when his car slammed
into the bus that was turning in northwestern Franklin County.
The bus and car caught fire . The bus driver, Felix Flucke, 52,
was treated for minor injuries. One student suffered a minor cut.
"I could see the flames," Flucke said. "One of the older boys

POMEROY·MIDDLEPORT, OHIO

WASHINGTON - UNITED MINE WORKERS Union
President W. A. "Tony" Boyle says recovery of areas destroyed
by strip mines should have as high a priority as moon exploration
since the alternative is a lunar-like landscape mine regulation up
to states would result in "attempts by strippers to hide behind
state law."
He urged tighter federal control over strip mining operations.
The Federal Water Quality Control Act, which regulates some
strip mining operations, "has not worked adequately because
states have sought approval of the lowest possible quality standards ." Boyle said tight federal standards for strip mining alone
will eliminate drawn out legal challenges by the states.

FHA's%
Reduced
WASHINGTON (UPI) Interest rates on home loans
insured by the federal government were reduced today by
one-half of one per cent to 7 per
cent - the third such cut in as
many months.
Affected are mortgages insured by both the Federal
Housing Administration and the
Veterans Administration.
Covered are not only home
purchases but also FHA mortgages
on
apartment
developments
and
other
housing.
Announcement
of
the
reduction was made by Housing
Secretary George W. Romney
and Donald E. Johnson, administrator of veteran affairs.
The effective date of the
change is Thursday, Feb. 18 that is, the cut applies on applications received after today.
Romney's office said that
outstanding commitments for
insurance would continue to be
honored at their original interest rate.
However, the announcement
said various federal offices
involved in mortgage loans
" have been instructed to
negotiate with lenders to seek
reductions in the interest rate
on subsidized mortgages to the
new lower rate regardless of the
rate of the original commitment."

Israeli Won't Let
Go of Penin sula
By United Press International
Israel rejected today the
reported suggestion of U.N.
envoy Gunnar V. Jarring that it
give up the entire Sinai
Peninsula seized from Egypt in
the 1967 Middle East War.
Egypt said today it was
ready to discuss peace if Israel
would abide by the 1967 U.N.
Security Council guidelines for
a Middle East settlement which
the Egyptians interpret as
calling for complete Israeli
withdrawal from occupied Arab
lands.
Israeli Foreign Minister Abba
Eban told the Knesset (parliament) in Jerusalem today th;. ·
the government would continue
its refusal to return to its pre1967 boundaries set by the 1948
armistice.
"Israel's right to agreed and
defensible borders is a central
principle," Eban said. "Israel
will not return to the armistice
lines, which cannot assure
Israel against aggression."
He said the final borders
were to be decided by
negotiation and could not be
agreed to in advance,
The Jarring initiative was
reported to have been in the
form of questions asking Israel
if it was prepared to withdraw
from the Sinai and asking
Egypt if it was ready to make
peace with IsraeL
Egypt earlier announced its

acceptance of the Jarring
proposaL
Eban blunted opposition party
demands for a debate in the
Knesset on Jarring's initiative
by announcing that Egypt's
reply had not been officially
received by Israel and asking
that the debate be delayed.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth said Israel was
preparing to discuss w thdrawal
from Arab territories and was
drawing up a map to show how
far it was willing to pull back.
Political sources in T~l Aviv
said Israel has launched a
campaign to coun. 'let the
nubdcity gains it feels Egypt
has made in recent Middle East
peace moves.
Israel has reserved official
comment on a peace initiative
by U.N. negotiator Gunnar V.
Jarring and on a proposal by
Egypt for reopening the Suez
Canal.
The semiofficial Cairo newspaper Al Abram said Egypt
sent a two-pace memorandum
to Jarring declaring its readiness to abide by the 1967
Security Council resolution on
the Middle East. Egypt said it
was ready to discuss "arrangements for peace" if Israel
would make a similar commitment, the newspaper said.
Al Abram said Israel should
declare readiness to withdraw
from all occupied Arab territo-

Search for Corruption Begun
WASHINGTON (UPI)- The
senate Permanent Investigating
subcommittee today launched a
public inquiry into alleged
corruption in the $3 billion,
worldwide department store
operation run by the defense
department .
"The subcommittee will examine allegations of corruption,
mismanagement and waste" in
post exchanges ( PXS), officer
and enlisted mens clubs, locker
clubs, bowling alleys, theaters
and other activities operated
with nongovernment money,
said Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff,
D-C&lt;'nn., acting chairman.

The inquiry also will include
allegations, and in some cases
reported evidence, of bribery,
kickbacks and payoffs touching
some of America's largest
liquor and tobacco companies
on the one hand, and high
military and civilian officials on
the other, he said.
Previous investigations by the
subcommittee disclosed corruption in open messes and service
clubs and resulted in the
indictment of Gen. Carl Turner,
former army provost marshal.
The hearings opened on the
heels of charges by Sen.
Edward J . Gurney, R-I&lt;'la., that

''black marketeers, corrupt
vendors, brokers and unscrupulous sales agents continue to
profit from the American GI in
Vietnam while military officials
have done little to clamp down
on their illegal activities."
It was learned that at least
two persons who figured
prominently in the previous inquiry will play prominent roles
in the new one, One is former
Brig. Gen . Earl F. Cole, who
was Army Chief of Staff for
personnel and administration in
Vietnam in 1967 and later
served as a policy maker for
the pacification program.

The other is William Crum,
described as the biggest businessman in Vietnam, who now
lives on a yacht in Hong Kong
harbor, according to committee
sources .
A third figure, as yet
unidentified publicly, was said
to be the "kingpin" in slot
machine sales and service.

Voters Say No
NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio
(UPI) -Voters in the North
Royalton School District
Tuesday rejected a $4.4
million bond issue by 427
votes. The balloting was 1,527
against and 1,100 in favor.
The bond issue was requested
for construction of a new high
school.
School
Superintendent
Merrill Williams said the
measure will be put on the
ballot again because the
present high school is 428
students over its design
capacity.

are about to exit the
military with the benefits
available,
the
Veterans
Administration has initiated
a stepped - up education
campaign to brief soldiers
about benefits to be had once
they've become full-time
civilians. VA officials are busily
lecturing at bases all over the
U.S. as well as overseas and at
various military separation
centers.
VA officials engaged in this
drive to acquaint Gls with
existing veteran's programs
point out that Congress has
increased the monthly benefit
for veterans attending college
by 35 per cent. Monthly
payment to a single man
studying full time is now
$175
while
a
veteran
with one dependent receives
$205 a month and a veteran with
two dependents, $230.
The VA also points out that a
new allowance of $50 a month
has been granted by Congress to
veterans who may need special
tutoring
to
boost
their
educa tiona! efficiency.
In addition, a veteran who
engages in a full-time apprenticeship job training
program may draw up to $133 a
month for the first s1x months
and lesser amounts for subsequent periods.
Disability compensation,
hospital care, home loan
assistance and re-employment
rights are all available to
veterans who qualify.
As we said, the key is getting
the necessary information. In
Southeastern Ohio, a Veterans
Service Officer is located in
every coun ty. Most of these
individuals, whose responsibility it is to assist America's
veterans, are located in
Courthouses or a centrally
located community building. No
veteran in the lOth District's 13

In addi tion , information
outlining veterans benefits can
be obtained by writing directly
to the Veterans Administration
(Vermont at
H Stree t,
Washington, D. C. 20420) and
requesting literature devoted
exclusively to benefits for
veterans.
The President's fiscal year
1972 budget request calls for
$10.6 million for veterans affairs. I certainly hope that
American veterans will take
full advan tage of all available
VA benefits and, as a result,
better themselves and the
country they have so honorably
served.

third quarter lead wiped out by
the Wahama White Falcons
here Tuesday and were

BACKS CONTROLS
COLUMBUS (UPI) - The
Ohio AFL-CIO Tuesday endorsed strong control of strip
mine operations and said more
attention must be given to land
restoration. The state labor
federation endorsed a program
submitted to the Ohio General
Assembly by the Concerned
Citizens Against Strip Mining.

KILLED IN CRASH
NORWALK, Ohio (UPI)
Gerald Bena, 47, New London,
was killed Tuesday in a cartruck collision near here.

The loss dropped the Tornadoes
to 8-9 overall. They finished
Southern Valley Conference
play with a 5-5 slate.
Coach Don Upton's Falcons
put on a tremendous full court
press in the final eight minutes
to f.IUll it out of the fire over the
upset-minded Southern quintet.
They raised their record to 8-8
on the year.
Tim Howard, 6-1 senior
forward, dropped in 27 points

with 19 coming in the second
half. The brilliant grid quarterback for the Falcons was the
difference as he dropped in a
crip shot with 50 seconds left to
put Wahama ahead, 64-63.
Mike Howard added 14 for the
Falcons with Randy Crawford
contributing 11.
Sam Shain, 6-2 senior center,
played by far his best game of
the season as the big letterman

7-4 Hardwood Tilt
By JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
The final score was Tennessee State 7, Oglethorpe 4 and no
runs crossed the plate, no
touchdowns were scored and
they didn't use ice skates. It
was slowdown basketball.
Oglethorpe had been smashed
earlier this year 82-43 by
Tennessee State, the nation's
No. 3 ranked small college
basketball team, and planned a
slowdown to try and reverse
the outcome this time. But the
Petrels didn't plan on such
cooperation.
Tennessee State took a 4-0
lead on baskets by Ron Dorsey
and Boyd Neal and then went
right along with the slowdown.
The halftime score remained 40.
The score held up at 4-0
through a good part of the
second half until Oglethorpe,
desperate for the ball, began to
foul. Tennessee State sank
three of its four foul shots to
"put the game out of reach" at
7-0.
The "h1gh scorers" for
Oglethorpe were Terry Schell
and Larry Walker, each of
whom scored a basket.
Tigers Roar
In its last game last week,
Tennessee State beat Kentucky
State, then ranked as the
nation 's No. 1 small college
club, 95-94. The Tigers now are
18-2 for the season.
No ranked teams were in
action Tuesday night but there

Perennial champion Kyger
Creek, captured its second
straight Gallia County Junior
High Cage title and 11th in the
last 12 years Tuesday night with
a convincing 33-12 victory over
Southwestern.
It was KC's first championship crown under Coach
Adam Krahel.
The Little Bobkittens had won
10 championships under Coach
Jack Duncan. Duncan stepped
down from the co ching ranks
this year.
Playing a cautious offensive
game with an air-tight defense,
Kyger Creek moved into a quick
4-0 lead on baskets by Joe
Stidham, 6-1 center, and Dave
Rife, swift-moving forward.
At that point, however, the
host club was assessed five
technical fouls due to a jersey
number mix-up.

Build Lead
Southern kept up their
brilliant play and built up a 5441 advantage with 1:35 left in
the third quarter. Two quick
Falcun buckets in the final
seconds reduced it to 54-45.
Two more buckets by the
Falcons in the fourth quarter
reduced it to 54-49, and Wahama
was on its way back. With 3:41
left, Southern still held a modest
lead at 61-53. But three free
throws and a twin-pointer in 40
seconds made it 61-58.
Shain made two free throws
with 2:52 remaining for 63-58.
The Falcons, who pressed the
Tornadoes to no
avail
previously, now double-teamed
on defense and the Tornadoes
coughed up several costly
turnovers that resulted in
layups for the Falcons.
T. Howard made a layup with
2:11 left. Brent Clark got one
after a Tornado turnover in
their own backcourt that made
it 63-62 with 1:30 left. With 50
seconds left, Howard again
dropped in a layup that put
Wahama ahead. The Tornadoes
had two shots at the bucket in
the remaining time but both
were unsuccessful.
The Tornadoes will play the
Waterford Wildcats in the
regular season final this
Friday. The Falcons have four
games remaining.

Killebrew Signs for $100,000

Baseball Roundup
By United Press International
The Minnesota Twins finally
have signed their first $100,000
player and now they'd like to
wait a while before they sign
their second.
Harmon Killebrew, who hit 41
homers and drove in 113 runs
for the Twins, agreed to the
$100,000 pact over the phone,
club president Calvin Griffith
announced Tuesday.
But while Killebrew signed
the six-figure contract, the
Twins are trying not to give
Tony Oliva one. Oliva figures
he's worth it after hitting .325
last season and driving in 107
runs.
The Twins also announced the
signing of two other players,
shortstop Leo Cardenas and
minor leaguer Cotton Nash, the
former Kentucky basketball
star who hit 33 homers for
Evansville last season.
Gary Nolan, who started the
first game of the World Series
for Cincinnati last season,
signe'O his contract with the
Reds. He posted an 18-7 record
last season with an ERA of
3.26.
Salary Hike
Jim Fregosi, the shortstop for
the California Angels, signed a
contract with a "substantial
raise" in salary. The guesses
are that the "substantial"
means a contract of about
$75,000.
Frank Reberger, who's expected to be a starter for San
Francisco, became the 21st
Giant to sign his contract this
season. He was 7-8 for the year
but looked impressive at the
end of the campaign when he
switched from a reliever to a
starter.
Three righthanded pitchers,
Chuck Taylor, Reggie Cleveland

and Bob Chlupsa, agreed to
terms with the St. Louis
Cardinals.
The Baltimore Orioles signed
Paul Blair, the leading hitter in
the World Series with a .474
mark, to his contract. The
champion Orioles now have
signed 22 players.
Eight Yanks Sign
The New York Yankees
signed eight players, including
Roy White, who received a
raise to $50,000 after hitting .296
last season. The other players
signing were Curt Blefary, Stan
Bahnsen, Gene Michaels, Frank
Tepedino, Ron Klimkowski,
Gary Waslewski and Tony
Solaita.

Sees Title Windup
Meyer's long - range hope,
however, is the ratings will
lead to statewide playoffs in
football, the only sport of the
10 conducted by the association •
which does not presently crown
a state champion.
"We are hoping after they
find out how it operates,"
Meyer said, "that they'll
realize that we should go to the
next logical step and say 'Lets
find out who is the real state
champion.'"
The association's Board of
Control approved football .
playoffs in March of 1970. Mter
some controversy over various
parts of the setup, the state's
high school principals were
polled on the idea and turned it
down.
"If the rating system
succeeds," Meyer said, "we'll
put the question back to the
schools.
"I think the pricipals' biggest
drawback was they didn't know
how the teams would be selected and what region they would
be in."
Another argument used, Meyer said, was- that it would extend the season too long.
Two Extra Weekends
"This is the biggest mystery
to me," Meyer said. "It would
only extend the season ·for 12
teams for two weeks. In
basketball the season is extended for all our teams."
The ratings will begin
following the fourth week
of next fall's football season,
with the teams in each
classification being rated in
four districts, northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest.
The computerized ratings will
award one point for a win or a
tie against a Class A team,
two points against a AA te"lm,
and three, four or five points
aJainst a AAA team, depending on the enrollment of the
AAA team.
It is felt ttat since there 1s
such a variance in the sizes of •
the larger schools, another
breakdown is needed there.
An interesting phase of the
system is that a team can continue to benefit from victories
posted by teams it has defeated or tied (a tie counts as a
win in the rating system).
For instance, if team A beats
team B it gets five points. If •
team B then beats team C,
team A as well as team B
gets five points for that game
too, or the number of points
assigned to the defeated school.

Overnight Wire
By United Press International
CLEVELAND -DR. MILTON EISENHOWER, chairman of
the President's Commission on Crime and Violence, is not
pessimistic despite the fact crime in the nation has doubled since
1960. "I have confidence when the people know the facts we will
get action in strengthening our police, courts and correctional
system and also in tackling the social causes," said Eisenhower.
The retired president of Johns Hopkins University also said in
his speech Tuesday at the Cleveland Clinic Golden Anniversary
Symposium a ''small minority of who are real revolutionaries and
nihilists" cause most of the trouble on the nation's university
campuses. "They have fertile ground in which to carry on activities because of the strong feelings against the Vietnam war by
a majority of college students," he said. "The majority of
students have concluded the problem is not with the university but
with national policy."
COLUMBUS - FRED JACOBY, 43, commissioner of the
Wisconsin State University Conference since July, has been
named to succeed Robert C. James as commissioner of the MidAmerican Athletic Conference. Jacoby, selected from three
nominees by the MAC's Council of Presidents, is to assume his
new post March 1, the day James becomes commissioner of the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
COLUMBUS - THE OHIO AFL-CIO HAS endorsed a strip
mining control bill submitted to the Ohio General Assembly by the
Concerned Citizens Against Strip Mining. The state labor
organization said more attention must be given to restore land to
its original contour.
Other recommendations included: replacement of top soil;
blastings allowed only during daylight hours; creation of a new
state board to pass on applications for strip mining permits, and
establishment of a staff of inspectors to enforce the law concerning strip mining.
COLUMBUS -REPUBLICANS WILL TAKE A "very close
look" at proposals for taxing and spending by the administration
of Gov. John J. Gilligan, GOP state Chairman John S. Andrews
says. Andrews, who said Gilligan was "not going to get a blank
check," also said the governor's Task Force on Tax Reform made
several recommendations on how to raise new revenues but ''we
have yet to hear the first word about needs from the new administration."
"Gilligan," said Andrews, "has been particularly vocal in his
criticism of Ohio's tax structure. He has deplored the fact that
Ohio has the lowest rate of taxes of any industrial state. "But,"
added Andrews, "I see no reason why we should be in a hurry to
out-tax or out-spend other states."
COLUMBUS - THE 90,000 • MEMBER Ohio Education
Association praised recent recommendations by the Citizens Task
Force on Tax Reform. Dr. Stayner Brighton, executive secretary
of the OEA, said the task force "should be commended for its
forthright report in outlining new tax sources to finance governmental services."
Brighton said Tuesday he was especially pleased the report
was aimed at a tax system based on ability to pay, rather than on
local property taxes. "Our present system of financing schools
primarily though local property taxes has collapsed," said
Brighton.
WASHING ON- A DEMOCRATIC PARTY reform commission voted Tuesday to approve a 1972 national convention
delegate formula which would force a drastic cutback in the size
of delegations rrom lightly populated states. Its recommendation
now goes to the Democratic National Committee, which is not
expected to accept the proposed treatment of the small states. It
gives equal weight to the population of each state and to the
number of votes castfor the Democratic nominee in the last three
presidential elections, with a total convention vote of 3,000 for the
50 states.
For the 1968 nvention, the Democrats gave a 10-vote bonus
ti.l n states
th 1964 presidential nominee under a
formula which
of the smallest states 22 votes. There
was a total
votes. Under the commission recommendation,
d be cut to four, Wyoming to five, Nevada
to six, Vermont to ven and Delaware to eight. At the other end of
the scale, New): rk would get 302, up from 190; California 294, up
from 174; Pennsylvania 197, up from 130.
TORONTO -THREE CIVIL ENGINEERING professors at
the University of Toronto report they have developed a process
for transforming puffed wheat into a multi-purpose· building
material. The discovery could turn Canada's wheat surplus into a
product which would reduce the cost of building new homes.
Essentially, the process involves puffing wheat kernels .to
slightly smaller than cereal size, then burning them to pure
carbon. The result is a cheap, lightweight, fireproof and waterresistant product which could be used as insulation in concrete
building blocks and panels, wallboards, as loose fill between walls
and for highway, pipeline and building foundations, they said.

der of the Huntington detachment of the state police, issued
his preliminary report Tuesday.
A spokesman for the National
Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) in Washington said its
report would be made public
"in about 60 days ."
Donahoe ruled out pilot error.
He said the crew felt they were
flying 200 to 300 feet higher
than they actually were when
the plane clipped treetops near
the airport.
His conclusion was based on
personal investigation at the
time of the crash, a public
hearing held last December,
and transcripts from the
plane's cockpit voice recorder.
"There is no way I can draw
any conclusion except the pilot's
believed they were flying at a
safe altitude during their approach to Tri-state Airport,"
Donahoe said.
Donahoe predicted the NTSB
report would show faulty altimeters as one of the causes of
the crash.

Why criticize ones doing a job?
Racine,O.
Feb.12, 1971

.~

Dear Editor:
This is in response to the letter of Feb. 10 regarding the job the
city employees of Pomeroy did during the recent snow. The boys
worked around the clock trying to get the snow under control so
people could get out and into their homes. They were called out
without notice after working long hard hours. They went and did
their job as best they could (without enough help, by the way).
Why do some have to criticize men that are only doing their job?
There is also another thing that these kids, and adults as well,
could have done, which is shoveling snow. Then they wouldn't
have fune to sleigh ride and make the streets more treacherous
than they already were.
Sincerely,
A mother of one of the boys.
Name Withheld on Request.

Class Adopts Attendance Plan
A plan to improve church
attendance was adopted by the
Golden Rule Class of the
Middleport First Baptist
Church at its recent meeting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Gerald Anthony.
The meeting opened with
class president Fred Hoffman
giving a devotional reading,
"Attending Church." Hoffman
led a discussion of ways of
building up both church and
Sunday School attendance. It
was decided that various people
would take one specific couple
to call on and try to get them to
church each Sunday.
The increasing number of
people attending the Sunday
evening services was also
discussed. It was decided that
the March meeting would be
held at the Manning Kloes home
with a cornbread and bean
dinner to be served. A committee of four, June Kloes,
Pauline Hoffman, Dorothy
Anthony, and Marilyn Fultz,
was appointed to plan this
meeting.
It was also decided that a
skating party would be held by
the class within the next two or
three weeks on Sunday afternoon when the Skate-A-Way
is available. All members of the
church will be invited.

Ferguson Shedding GOP
By LEE LEONARD
COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI)-If
"Jumpin' Joe" Ferguson,
Ohio's auditor of state, is not the
oldest state official in the
country at 78, it's not because he
isn't trying.
Ferguson, a Democrat with a
new four-year lease on the
auditor's office after four
previous terms, is already
talking about running for reelection in 1974, when he's 82.
To prepare, he has swept out
the Republican employes who
have accumulated since he last
occupied the office in 1956. And
he is planning to comb the
records with a gimlet eye for
GOP misdeeds.
"I personally feel retirement
means you're just waiting for

death," Ferguson, who has run
for statewide office in each of
the last five decades, told UPI
in an interview. "If you keep
active, you keep young. If you
sit down, you get stiff."
Young Looking
"Jumpin' Joe" is far from
stiff. He has few gray hairs,
doesn't look a day over 55 and
wears the brightly colored
shirts with matching ties and
handkerchiefs.
Ferguson was given the name
"Jumpin' Joe" in 1937, his first
year as auditor, by William
H. Newton, a cub reporter for
Scripps-Howard newspapers.
"I never saw a man jump
around like you do," Ferguson
recalls Newton saying, "and
I'm
to give you a name

News Notes
By Alma Marshall

We have read many times, "George Washington slept here

"

..
•

•

•
•
•

Well, he did in West Vll'ginia, and surveyed here too. A fellow
who lives on Leading Creek near Middleport said that he knew of
a hide used for a map and signed by Washington. Wonder what
happened to it? Stands to reason, no paper, a hide could be used
for a map.
The following article from an old West Virginia geological
survey tells us that in the summer of 1770 George Washington and
his group of engineers made a survey of many large tracts of land
along the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. This r'is the first time that
any actual steps were taken toward the colonization of the
country. These tracts were granted to soldiers of Virginia for
their services in the French and Indian wars.
About 20,000 acres were patented by Washington in the limits
of this area and so were marked by two maples, an elm, and a
hoop wood tree, as a corner of the soldiers' land, he reportedly
said, "if we can get it."
Washington made many offers to induce imigration, but the
remoteness of the country and the dangers from Indians
prevented settlers from coming at that time.
Not until after the battle of Pt. Pleasant, October 1774, was it
safe for settlers, and then only in the immediate vicinity of Fort
Blair, which was burned, and later at Fort Randolph, which met
the same fate A settlement was made at Point Pleasant after the
battle by some of the pioneers who participated in the fight.
Washington abandoned the scheme of colonization during the
War of Independence, and it was not until after that struggle that
any attempt was made to settle the outlying land.
The state of Virginia, which established a land office in 1779,
offered land for 2lh cents an acre (continental money). Large
tracts were
eastern weculators, but no settlers .took up
fte the peace of 1783.
the propositi
The first
twas made in Teays Valley in 1800.
Settlers
1n boats down the Ohio river from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and down the Kanawha river
from Virginia and the Carolinas. They were largely Scotch-Irish
and English, and from necessity and environment, were hunters
and trappers, regardless of their previous vocation.
The pioneers settled the bottomland along the large streams
first and gradually worked back into the hill country. During the
early occupation settlers stopped where they pleased, built a
cabin, and made a clearing. Many of the settlers were afterward
turned out by holders of patents for service in the Revolution.
Washington was so impressed with the fighting spirit of the
people of western Virginia that he was prompted to boast: "Leave
me but a banner to plant upon the mountains of Augusta (the
name of most of West Virginia at that time) and I will rally
around me the men who will lift our bleeding country from the
dust and set her free."
The men who settled in West Virginia when it was still a
wilderness won the rich inheritance which they have transmitted
to their descendants.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Out of Wahama's White Falcon 85-piece band, 16 band
students were chosen this year to play in West Virginia All State
Band. Last year 14 were chosen. Of the 1,000 students that
auditioned in Charleston from all parts of West Virginia, 100 were
chosen, and of these, 16 were from Wahama. Their director is
Gerald Simmons, New Haven.
Awaiting Show -Mrs. Michael L. Rodgers (Sharon Rollins),
Letart, W.Va. is eagerly awaiting the TV Show, Truth or Consequences on March 11, Channel 3, at 9:30 a.m. when she can
again re-live that happy time in California when she was re-united
with her Marine husband, Cpl. Michael L. Rodgers.
Cpl. Rodgers, stationed at Camp Pendleton, Calif. in May of
last year, went to the Truth and Consequence Program in
Hollywood, thinking he was going to escort a Beauty Queen to the
stage. The Master sergeant accompanying him suggested they
watch the show.
Well, I suppose he escorted the queen, but can you imagine
the surprise, when out stepped his wife, Sharon, whom he had not
seen for some time. You can see it happen on March 11th, Truth or
Consequences.
Sharon's transportation to and from California was paid for
by Truth or Consequences. They also paid their bill at the
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and gave them $150 to spend.
Capl. and Mrs. Rodgers have not seen each other since May of
last year. He expects to be discharged from the Marines in October of this year and is now stationed on the island of Okinawa .
Sharon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rollins,
Letart, and Cpl. Rodgers is the son of Mrs. Goldie Smith, Clifton.
HARTFORD - Ted Stevens, President of Mason County
Board of Education, Pt. Pleasant, spoke to the New Haven Rotary
Club on the duties and obligations of county superintendent of
schools, president of the board, and board members at the
meeting of the group on Thursday evening at Hartford United
Methodist Church.
Afterwards, a question and answer period was held.
Mr. Stevens and the future of the school system in Mason
County looks good. He expressed a desire for future meetings with
board members and school patrons in different communities, at
different times, to discuss school problems.
Attending were visiting Rotarian Dr. J. R. Moore, Pt.
Pleasant; Mr. John Watkins, sponsor of Wahama Interact;
Howard Wagenhals, a guest, and members Dick Ord, Jack
Flesher, John Thorn, Jim Roush, Herman Layne, Don Foglesong,
Rome Williamson, Karl Wiles, Harry Miller, Don Roush, Clyde
Foley and Russell Capehart.
LETART - James Alan Hart, Letart, a Junior at Marshall
University, received a 3 point average for this past semester.
Hart is majoring in accounting in the School of Business. He is a
member of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity and the son of Mr . and Mrs.
James Hart, Letart, W. Va. Also on the Dean's list at Marshall is
Angie Fields, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Fields, :'-lew Haven.

that will never be forgotten."
Ferguson first ran for auditor
in 1928, but he was not elected
for 10 years. Then he served
for 16 consecutive years,
running unsuccessfully in the
off-years for governor and the
U.S. Senate. He was Ohio's
favorite-son candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination in 1944.
"Jumpin' Joe" returned
to the wars last year
and defeated Republican Roger
W.
Tracy
Jr.,
whose father and grandfather
he had beaten twice apiece for
audjtor during the 1930's and
1940's.
He quickly discovered that of
the 566 employes on the payroll,
only 20 were Democrats.
Ferguson began firing the
RPoublicans, and when they
C&lt;,Wplained, he had little
sympathy.
"The Republicans always are
crying and howling," he said.
"I'm not going to fire anyone
who's competent." But he
conceded his definition of a
bipartisan office would be about
98 Democrats and two Republicans.
Ferguson plans to investigate
the workings of the auditor's
office during the years 1957 to
1963, when former Gov. James
A. Rhodes was in charge.
Rhodes ended "Jumpin'

Joe's" grip on the office, and
Ferguson has complained an
impartial audit was never done
on the Rhodes regime.
Republican legislators are
talking about introducing legislation to bar anyone from
running for office if he is over
70. Ferguson is convinced it is
aimed at him.
"Now I'm so strong that even
the Republicans want to bar me
from runnmg," he said. "I
think they're wasting their
time. I don't care what they do.
I'll probably run again. They're
not sure they can beat me."
Not A Worrier
Ferguson does not worry
about elections or anything
else. "There's no use worrying
about anything because it
doesn't do you any good," he
explained.
He favors lowering the voting
age, although he is not sure the
18-year-olds care to vote.
"I never see them at any
Democratic meetings," he said.
"And I hear they never go to
any Republican meetings. But
I'm for 13-year-Olds voting. I'm
not for them carrying on and
raising hell like they do."
Ferguson said he has learned
one thing over the years-"that
there's shysters in both parties."
And he boasts of meeting
every president from Theodore

LIMA, Ohio (UPI) Classes resumed at Lima
Senior High School Tuesday
under heavy police guard after being closed last week
because of racial disturbances. Both uniformed and
plain clothes police patroled
the hall ways of the high
school here which has an
enrollment of about 800.
School Principal Merlin
Sykes held several meetings
with parents last week after
he closed the school on both
Wednesday and Thursday
following serious racial
outbreaks. About 30 students
and several adults were
arrested Thursday during an
unauthorized assembly in the
school cafeteria. The incidents began when some
blacks got hold of a note
containing racial slurs. It was
allegedly written by a white
student.

Mideast Crisis Lingering in Constant Tension
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of eight weekly articles in
which United Press Interna-tional reporters, all specialists in
their fields, report on and assess great decisions facing the world
in 1971. This week, the Mideast crisis.
· The Middle EAST CONFUCT: Is a peaceful settlement
possible?
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
UPI Chief European Correspondent
More than three and a half years after Israel crushed her Arab
neighbors in the lightning six day war of June 1967-and in fact
after nearly a quarter century of unremitting ~ars and tensions_:
peace in the Middle East appears as elusive as ever.
Even as this is written full scale fighting between the young
Jewish state, born in 1948, and the angry Arab states which

Great Decisions
surround her, could erupt again at any moment.
When on Feb. 4 Egyptian President Anwar Sadat announced his
agreement to a 3Q.day extension of a 00-day ceasefire which went
mto effect last August and was extended another 90 days in
November, Israel made no formal commitment to the same
extension but pledged she would not be the first to resume firing .
In 1967 Israel and the Arabs waged their short war without
outside invervention. Washington and Moscow agreed on their
"hot line" to stay out.
But a renewal of the conflict in 1971, Western officials agree ,
would bring far greater dangers to world peace, by bringing about
a direct confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers, the
United States and the Soviet Union. Both are vinvolved infinitely
more deeply than in 1967.
Twofold Interest
United States interest is twofold: To prevent total Soviet
domination of the Middle East, where America has a multibillion
dollar oil investment, and to honor what amounts to at least a
moral guarantee of the survival of the state of Israel.
Moscow's immediate goal is to prevent Israel from once again
humiliating and crushing Russia's client states in the Middle
East, which she has rearmed since the 1967 war to the tune of
more than $3 billion. Its longer term objective is to make Russia
the dominant power in the Middle East, the Mediterranean and
the Indian Ocean, as evidenced by the recent Soviet naval buildup
in these areas.
The issues themselves have remained almost unchanged.
The Arabs still demand total withdrawal by Israel from every

inch of territory she conquered in 1967 as well as freedom for an
estimated two to 2.5 million Arab refugees to return to their
former homes and lands in what is now the state of Israel or to be
compensated by Israel for their loss.
Israel continues to demand a peace treaty giving her what she
describes as "permanent, secure and recognized boundaries,"
coupled with freedom of navigation for her ships through the Suez
Canal and through the Gulf of Aqaba to her southern port of Eilat.
Without this she refuses to budge from her conquests.
In the search for solutions, Western officials pin their hopes of
peace on two slender threads the revived peace mission of
United Nations special envoy Gunnar V. Jarring and the obvious
reluctance of either side to end the ceasefire.
Jarring Works Tirelessly
In the first months after the 1967 war Jarring, a Swedish
diplomat, shuttled tirelessly between Israel, the Arab capitals
and U.N. headquarters in New York . Jarring made no headway,
neither did simultaneou') effort at the U.N. by the ambassadors of
the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
By early 1970 fighting along the Suez Canal between Israel and
Egypt had erupted again on a major scale. It was accompanied by
deep penetration raids by the Israeli air force into the Egyptian
Nile Delta heartland. These were halted only when the Soviet
Union rushed SAM2 and SA.l\13 antiaircraft missiles with Russian
crews to bolster Egypt's helpless air defenses. Soviet pilots appeared at the same time in MIG fighters in Egypt's skies.

Rather than risk a direct conflict with Russia, Israel called off
her air offensive.
On June 19, 1970, U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers
proposed the so-called "ROGERS PLAN," calling for a 90-day
ceasefire and resumption of peace talks. Its aim was to get the
two sides to stop shooting and to start talking before the Middle
East conflict sparked a big power confrontation. Much to the
surprise of many seasoned diplomats, both sides accepted and
Jarring resumed his peace talks at the United Nations.
Almost immediately Israel pulled out, charging Egypt had
·taken advantage of the ceasefire to push SAM2 and SAM3 missiles
closer to the Suez Canal. The United States confirmed this charge.
To compensate for the strategic disadvantage under which
Israel suddenly found herself, Washington promised her 18 more
Phantom supersonic jets in 1970 in addition to 50 already sold her,
an additional $500 million in military aid and $200 million in
economic aid during 1971.
·
Finally, Israel bowed to strong U.S. pressure and agreed on
Dec. 28, 1970, to return to the negotiations. They reswned on Jan. 5
this year, although in the form of separate meetings by Jarring
with the Israelis and Arabs.
No Compromise Seen
So far there is little indication either side is ready to compromise.
But there are factors now that did not exist in 1967. Egypt's
President Gamal Abdel Nasser died Sept. 28, 1970. Western ex-

•

perts believe his successor, Sadat, would gladly switch some of
Egypt's slim economic resources towards solving his country's
critical internal problems. But they believe he also feels unable to
show himself less belligerent than Nasser.
"It is far more honorable for us to die while defending our land
than to live on our knees in surrender to the conditions of the
United States and Israel," Sadat has said.
The Soviet Union has stepped up its stake in the Middle East. •
Western officials estimate there are between 14,000 and 20,000
Soviet troops in Egypt today. Moscow has armed Egypt with jet
fighters, tanks, artillery and antiaircraft rockets and virtually
taken over her entire air defense.
The Soviets now keep an average of 30 combat ships and 10
submarines in the Eastern Mediterranean, where they constitute
a permanent challenge to the U. S. 6th Fleet.
The only hopeful sign in the Middle East is the return to more
stable conditions in Jordan, where King Hussein's forces crushed
the Palestianian guerrillas in 10 days of bloody civil war last
September. The guerrillas no longer are considered a serious
military threat to the Middle East peace.
For the United States and other Western countries the main
interest is lasting peace. But, as Frank Giles, foreign editor of the
London Sunday Times, wrote after a recent Middle East tour,
"The first impression is that something not far short of a miracle 1
will be needed if a lasting peace is to be achieved in the near
future between Arabs and Israelis."

Dear Dr. Lamb- Is it true
that certain foods such as

stomach could safely stand

Dear Reader- There are a
lot of mistaken ideas on this
subject , like not eating fi sh

poppycock. You are right.
Any food you can eat a lone
you can also eat safely with
other foods. If you can't eat
onions. then you can' t eat
them in combination with
other foods as a rule. Now
you can build up too high a
level of certain things. For

example, if you eat one food
enriched with iron, then a
couple more enriched with
iron and finally take vitam ins with iron added you
can be getting too much iron

The problem with polished

is that they have lost a large
amount of natural vitamins,
particularly the B complex

The problem with white
