"The most about class reunions is that I make everybody so good!" Man believed killed turns up In Lubbock LUBBOCK, Tex. (AP) Michael Wayne Hubbard, whose friends thought he died 12 days ago when his plane crashed into Lake Bridgeport, is alive in Lubbock today. Hubbard, 27, turned up Thursday. Memorial services which had been scheduled for 3 p.m. today were hurriedly cancelled.

A family statement issued Thursday said Hubbard's plane did go down in Lake Bridgeport and is still there. But, the statement continued, Hubbard crawled out of the plane and onto a wing, but the aircraft sank and Hubbard swam about 200 yards to shore. While trying to hitchhike, Hubbard walked nearly to Decatur, and finally reached Oklahoma City "where he sought professional help after wandering the streets for several days." After talking it all with doctors and lawyers, the family said Hubbard returned to Dallas from where he contacted relatives Wednesday night. The statement said that Hubbard, reported missing June 21 on a flight from Fort Worth to Lubbock, encountered turbulence including lightning and rain. Clouds closed in and he could get no help by radio.

He dipped below the clouds, and there was Lake Bridgeport. The family said Hubbard was preoccupied by business problems and that the weather frightened and disoriented him. He ditched. Hubbard is co-owner of an educational consulting firm in Lubbock where his wife, three daughters, mother and father, and two brothers reside. The family said there would be no further statements.

Switzerland authorities seize Leary BERN, Switzerland (AP) Swiss authorities are holding advocate Timothy Leary for extradition to the United wstates. A Justice Ministry spokesman said today that Leary, who escaped 10 months ago from a California prison where he was serving a sentence for marijuana possession, was arrested Wednesday at the request of the U.S. Embassy. The spokesman said Leary was arrested at Villars suf 01- lon, in the Lake Geneva area, and was taken to a jail in Lausanne. His wife was with him but was not taken into custody.

Sources in Europe said the former Harvard lecturer was en route from Algeria to Geneva when arrested. Leary, 50, was taken into "provisional custody for extradition" and was not charged with any violation in Switzerland, the spokesman said. He added Leary can be held for two months while the extradition request is awaited. In California, a spokesman for Gov. Ronald Reagan said the required papers would be forwarded to the U.S.

State Department. Leary escaped from the minimum security California Men's Colony at San Luis Obislo shortly after his parole was denied. He had been sentenced by a California judge in December 1969 to six months to 10 years imprisonment. He fled to Algeria and took refuge with the fugitive Black Panther Leader Eldridge Cleaver and other members of the militant group. Two consulates closed by U.S.

MEXICO CITY, (AP) The United States has closed two of its consulates in Mexico for economy reasons, the U. S. Embassy here announced Thursday. The consulate in Chihuahua was closed as of today while the Tampico office discontinued service earlier this year, the embassy said. In addition to the U.

S. Embassy in Mexico City, the U. S. now has 12 consulates in Mexico, more than in any other country, according to the embassy. BROWWOOD BULLETM Page 5-A pre-iulv 4th Firms given six months to agree on tobacco By GREGG HERRINGTON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) U.S.

tobacco companies have been given six months to agree on a health warning to accompany the bubbling brooks, pretty girls and cattle roundups in their cigarette advertising. The Federal Trade Commission wasted no time in its ruling Thursday. The 3-1 vote with one abstention came as a congressional prohibition on cigarette advertising expired. The tobacco companies were given six months to sign a legally binding consent agree- ment requiring them to include in advertisements a "clearly and conspicuously displayed" note saying: "Warning! The Surgeon General has determined that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health." That warning already is required on cigarette packages and cartons. All cigarette advertising has been banned from radio and television since Jan.

2 this year. Some provisions of the proposed consent agreement are still open for negotiation, including the standards for "clear and conspicuous display," such Government operates on emergency relief WASHINGTON (AP) Beginning this week, almost the entire United States government is operating on emergency relief. Not that it's anything to get terribly upset about. It happens every year at this time, the beginning of a new fiscal year, With literally hundreds of federal departments, agencies, administrations, commissions, boards, councils, services, institutions and corporations to fund, Congress never gets around to distributing all of the federal dollars on time. When fiscal 1972 was born Thursday, Congress had aged to get only three priations bills through both houses and into President Nta on's hands: the bj)J for the fice of Education, the bill jointly covering Treasury and the Postal Service and, ah, the appropriation for Congress.

fhai lefi unfunded, such em as the Departments of Defense, Labor, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, Justice and most of Health, Education and Welfare. Also unfunded for FY 72, as the fiscal year is known around town, were a host of smaller agencies; the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the American Battle Monuments Commission. The vast majority of the federal, government structure isn't exactly on the fiscal ropes because Congress has passed for all unfunded agencies emergency stop-gap legislation to provide operating funds until new appropriations are passed. For most unftrndecj agencies, the stop-gap legislation permits them to continue spending at or near the levels set for FY 71. That way everybody continues to get a paycheck, but no raises, and new projects have to await the new appropriations.

warning as the size of type that would be required. However, Gerald Thain, assistant director for food and drug advertising in the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said the advertisements should not be "a symphony of seduction with only a flute of warning." The FTC action Thursday accused two of the six tobacco companies of alleged deception by failing to include any warning message in print advertisements and charged the other four with inadequate caution messages. American Brands and Liggett and Myers, the FTC said, include no health warnings at all in their advertisements. Brown and Williamson, R.J. Reynolds, P.

Lorillard and Phillip Morris advertisements show a cigarette package with the warning printed on the side, Thain said. All six proposed complaints charge it is "unfair and deceptive" for the firms to advertise without the disclaimer because they should know or at least have reason to believe that cigarette smoking is dangerous to health. However, a spokesman for R.J. Reynolds in Winston-Salem, N.C., said he finds it hard to understand why his firm was cited. He said health warnings are placed in all Reynolds ads "in a clear and conspicuous manner." The FTC began in 1964 to restrict cigarette advertisements following publication of the surgeon general's report linking smoking to lung cancer.

However, Congress, since then, has imposed, its own restrictions and twice prohibited the commission from acting. Jt was the 1969 ban on further FTC action that expired Thursday. FREE FIREWORKS A Spectacular Show Saturday 9:30 p.m. Commerce Under the Supervision of Bobby Holoman A. E.
