(UPI) Ron Shore turned two pieces of aluminum roofing sunnyside up and cut his heating bill to $2 a month despite subzero temperatures of the Colorado Rockies. The $2 pays for electricity to run a small pump that powers a solar energy system used by Shore, his wife and 2-year-old son to heat their house. "My bathwater is so -hot that I have to keep remembering it was made possible by the sun," he said. Shore, 29, is a former dentist who worked on Western Indian reservations until he got interested in solar energy. He put down his tooth drill, did some studying and built the seven-room house heated totally by the sun.

"WE'RE JUST really dedicated to the home," said Shore, now an energy consultant for the Rocky Mountain ski resort of Aspen, 20 miles away. "We love it. It took quite a lot of money (to build). I don't do anything until I have the money." Shore said the house cost $20,000 and took 5'i months to build. The solar heating system cost $3,000.

Shore said he planned to build a solar-heated greenhouse and a separate workshop. "The amount of electricity we use to run the small pump to heat the house runs $2 a month," he said. "We're saving about $100 per month in heating costs. The house is the only 100 per cent solar heated house ever built in this cold a climate." HE SAID overnight temperatures sometimes reached 20 degrees below zero. The pump turns on when the sun warms during the day and pushes water from a tank beneath one of the bedrooms up to the roof, where it runs down beneath two pieces of glass and across the aluminum strips.

"By running water by (the aluminum), we are collecting solar energy," he said. The glass and aluminum serve as conductors of the sun's rays. The water is warmed and cycled across the roof, heat-i ing the house. THE FAMILY also traps heat from the sun duringihe day by throwing open doors. The solar warmth is trapped in the cement flooring, Shore said.

At night, three inches of Styrofoam that separates double paneled windows on the south wall insulates the interior of the house. Boston (UPI) A doctor ac-1 cused of watching minutes tick off a wall clock while a fetus died during an abortion said Under questioning from his attorney, William a Fdelin said one photo was nrii an accurate representation of the operating room. "What was different?" Humans asked. "The clocks," Edelin said. "I think they were both broken and out for repairs," he said.

A murmur swept the courtroom and a court officer asked for quiet. yesterday it could not have happened because there were Data On Warren Report Critics Given Boggs: Son no clocks in tne operating Tate Says Reds Await Data On His Health New Orleans (UPI late House Majority Leader Hale Boggs received FBI dossiers detailing the political connections and personal habits of critics of the Warren Report, the New Orleans States-Item reported yesterday. The States-Item, in a dispatch from its Washington bureau, said it had learned of the 1968 incident from Boggs' son, Thomas Boggs, a Washington lawyer. Boggs, who died in a 1972 plane crash and was succeeded In Congress by his widow, Representative Lindy Boggs twice charged in 1971 that the FBI used "Gestapo tactics" and that the agency conducted widespread domestic surveillance of noncriminals. Thomas Boggs, according to the States-Item, said his father had evidence to support his allegations but did not disclose it because he wanted to protect his sources and possibly innocent victims.

THE ELDER BOGGS was a member of the Warren Commission that investigated the assassination President John F. Kennedy and concluded from information supplied in the aftermath of the investigation that the FBI must have kept similar dossiers on elected officials and prominent persons. Thomas Bcggs said his fa room. Returning for a second day of testimony, Dr. Kenneth C.

Edelin challenged allegations of Dr. Enrique Gimenez-Jimeno, the star state witness and its only witness present during the abortion. GIMENEZ-JIMENO testified Edelin stared at the operating room wall clock for "at least three minutes" instead of trying to save an infant, which, according to the prosecution, was "born or in the process of being born." It was during this critical period the prosecution claims a human being was born and the crime of manslaughter was committed. But, Edelin, 36, former chief resident obstetrician in Boston City Hospital, denied any delay in the operation. He said at the time cf the abortion there were no clocks in the operating room.

Orange Park, Fla. (AP) Retired Adm. Jackson R. Tate says he believes his Soviet-born daughter, whom he has never seen, has been unable to get a visa to visit him because the proper authorities have not received a certified statement of his ill health.

"The doctors are preparing a letter right now," Tate said yesterday. TATE, 77, underwent open heart surgery last year and has been taken to hospitals twice since then for emergency treatment. His daughter, 28-y a -o 1 Victoria Fyodorova, was born after a love affair between Tate, who was stationed at Moscow, and Soviet actress Zoya Fyodorova. Dr. Irene Kirk, an associate professor of Russian and comparative literature at the University of Connecticut, met Miss Fyodorova in the Soviet Union and became interested' in trying to locate the then-14-year-old girl's father.

She found Miss Fyodorova's father in 1963 after a four -year search, but it took nearly 11 years of letter exchanges among Dr. Kirk, Miss Fyodorova and Tate to arrange for the possibility of a meeting between father and daughter. MISS FYODOROVA, an actress like her mother, asked Dr. Kirk in a telephone conversation to have Tate send medical proof of his illness. Tate, now married and living in this north Florida city, said he hopes to see Miss Fyodorova but thinks Ihere is little chance of ever seeing his daughter's mother again.

"If the Russians let Victoria out, they'll hold Zoya hostage," he said. "There's no chance of getting her out."

"Fy the commission's action today, we are effectively bankrupting the licensee and probably denying him a livelihood in his field of expertise," Lee said.

The FCC nqted that since Burden acquired Star Stations of Indiana in 1963, the commission never granted regular renewals for WIFE-AM-FM. When renewal applications first were filed in 1964 for those stations they were granted for only a term of one year because WIFE had used a partial audience survey in a misleading fashion to improve the station's sales of air time, the commission said. He quoted from the original decision of FCC Administrative Law Judge Chester F. Naumowicz which said: "The substantial lapse of time between events and the hearing (before the judge) has blurred the memories of honest witnesses to the point that their testimony was too vague or too much in conflict with, that of other equally sincere witnesses to permit any firm finding." Yesterday's 5-1 decision by FCC reversed Judge Naumowicz's ruling of Feb. 14, 1973, granting all the Star renewal applications except that of WIFE.

COMMISSIONER Robert E. Lee was the only FCC member to disagree and said, "This is an unprecedentel example of an overdose of justice." Lee said fense, came during discussion of an enlarged photo of the operating room where the abortion was performed. and vvv3 cf them went into detail about the subjects' personal lives. iiaiiMiliiilii' 'ill fc Continued From Page 1 used to publicize the campaigns of the incumbent Vance Hartke of Indiana and Oregon's then-Governor Mark Hatfield," the statement said. "AS TO WIFE'S preferential treatment of a political caniidate, Star maintained that Ron Mercer, the general manager of WIFE from 1963 to 1965, was responsible and had duped Burden, and that Mercer on his own undertook to furnish favorable news coverage arid free advertising to the candidate without Burden's knowledge or consent," the statement continued.

"However, the commission concluded on the hearing record that Burden was privy to a scheme using a sham contract to publicize the Indiana senatorial candidate. The FCC said that political advertising was carried for 44 days free of charge, contrary to requirements of a statute governing corporate contributions to Federal candidates. "It said the scheme also included directing WIFE'S news staff to provide favorable news coverage for the candidate during regular news broadcasts, and that Mercer carried out the plan under Burden's instructions," the FCC statement said. IN ANNOUNCING he would appeal the ruling, Cohn contended the administrative law judge, which heard the case previously, had found that the government's case was based on "conjecture, suspicion and speculation" and that the government bad relied on key former employes who "were confused and plainly deceitful."

BURDEN SAID he had not seen a copy of the decision, but was confident the courts would reverse the FCC. "We have an absolute right to appeal this outrageous, biased decision," Burden" said in the statement. "I have instructed our attorneys to immedi-. ately proceed to take such an appeal to the courts." STAR SPECIAL REPORT Omaha, Neb. Don Burden, majority stockholder- in Star Stations said yesterday the company will fight a Federal Communications Commission decision not to renew the licenses of five stations, including WIFE-AM-FM of Indianapolis.

Burden said in a prepared statement that the FCC decision is contrary to the recommendations of an administrative law judge and will be appealed to the courts.

KAUFMAN ALSO SAID that it was probable that the wholesalers would seek increases of 1 or 2 per cent in the present markups of 13 per cent on liquor and 25 per cent for wine due to other cost increases such as labor. The markups for retailers are 30 per cent for liquor and 45 per cent for wine.

Although required by the ABC, the markups are not authorized by law or regulation. THE BEER BARON BILL, as it was tagged last year, would provide exclu sive sales territories for distributors. Breweries already, by law, may not cancel a beer distributor's contract' without just cause.

"THIS BILL docs not ban cans it will get them back for recycling," said Richardson, adding that the intent was to reduce the state's litter and solid waste. As scores of red lights (for "no" votes) flashed on the House bill scoreboard, Richardson returned to the microphone to explain his vote.

He blamed the bill's fate on "lobbyists with ample resources" and pledged that "the fight is not over." 1 He quoted humorist W. C. Fields: "We need to grab the bull bv the tail and face it." Several Democrats spoke against the bill, including Majority Leader Michael K. Phillips of Boonville, who gave the kiss of death by urging its defeat for the sake of the economy. "WE HAVE a severe energy problem.

Opponents of the measure argued as they had during a public hearing Jan. 16 that passage of the bill would damage further the state's slumping economy and eliminate hundreds of jobs.
