THE TENNtSSEAN, Thuriday, March 22, 1973 Rockefeller Tells Dunn Woman Speaker Should Be Next he called the "qualified" press protection law. "I've got the scars to prove-that freedom of the press cajf be mighty rough on politician or public officials, but I think" this is the most important fundamental force that we' have in this "country to preserve freedom," Rockefek. ler said, adding: "The exposure of corruption and exposure of malpractice! has come importantly fronr; the press and from radio and-television. And, I think we've, got to keep it that way." NEW YORK IS one of the few states which has its own press protection legislation: which Rockefeller strongly supported.

On his arrival at the airport here, Rockefeller defended President Nixon's economic policies here last night although living costs had their highest monthly rise in 22 years last month. "I think that housewives and their husbands and families are under stress," Rockefeller said. "But, it is a combination of circumstances which has resulted in this. "I THINK the President is doing everything he can at this point to toy and stay this," he said. Rockefeller also said he supports a "broad, protective law for the nation as a whole" to guarantee the rights of newsmen to protect their sources.

He said such legislation, which would also allow individual states to pass their own protection laws, is necessary to preserve freedom of the press, which he called the "bulwark of our country." ROCKEFELLER noted that he testified two weeks ago in Washington in favor of what ABOUT 200 dignitaries at the reception were given a surprise a premier of "my Country," the new performance of Opryland USA presented on a stage under a marquee on the terrace of mansion. "It's a takeoff of 17 members of the Music- Hall of Fame," said Bill Weaver, chairman of Opryland and chairman of the board of National Life and Accident Insurance Co. "Paul Crabtree, that man who puts on all the shows at Opryland, who trains, interviews and runs the shows is producing this show it's great," said Weaver. Minnie Pearl said, "Melissa Ferrell, the young girl who plays my part is tremendous. She's great- Let's go out and hear her say I've been working with her on 'Ode to Billy and she's good." ROY ACUFF was there to hear the takeoff on hbi as was Archie Campbeil and many other stars.

Nelson Rockefeller of New York arrived here last night to speak at today's third annual prayer breakfast, and promptly suggested to Gov.

Winfield Dunn that a woman be next year's speaker. At a reception at the Governor's Mansion on Curtis-wood Lane, the New York governor made his gesture to the women's equality movement while he and Mrs. Rockefeller and Gov. and Mrs. Dunn were drinking fruit punch and eating chocolate covered mints.

"AND JUST who would you suggest?" asked Dunn. "Well," said Rockefeller after a moment's hesitation, "I can't think of anyone better qualified than Mrs. George Romney. She makes the most dynamic speech that's always very moving." The prayer breakfast will be held at 7:30 a.m. today at the Sheraton, downtown.

Dunn was giving Rockefeller a little notice that following the show they were about to see he would say just a few words and then call on him for a short impromptu speech. "That won't be difficult," said Rockefeller "I'll just tell them what I think of you except I don't want to turn your head." Staff photos by Bill Preston Speaks Out Speaker Wilder, left, and Rep.

The stability pay ranges from 3 to 8 of each employe's salary, depending upon his length of employment by the government. IN VOTING to raise the pay of each employe across the board by $42 a month, the council turned down a proposal from Councilman Richard Adams that the base pay of each employe be increased 5.6.

Sitton said the charter authorizes the Metro Council to accept a pay plan offered it, reject it or modify it. If the council decides to modify a pay plan it must do it uniformly for all pay grades. The law director said the plan had to be modified by percentages rather than by approving across the board raises of the same amount for all workers. Reportedly Metro employes are preparing to go to court to force the government to pay the raise if Briley permits the resolution to become law by either approving it or permitting it to remain on his desk until the next council meeting without signing it. BUT A BRILEY staffer said there isn't a chance the mayor will let the raise become law.

Sitton told the council Tuesday night he would direct the finance department not to pay the raise because it was illegal. If the council has to start all over again on a pay raise for employes, any resolution raising salaries could not be acted on for at least 15 days after it was formally filed with the council. IT COULD not be learned yesterday whether or not the legal department has found some way to get the matter back before the council without having to start over. The pay of employes has been a matter of controversy for some weeks. The council has been considering a pay plan which would have given employes an average raise of 6.7.

But Sitton told the council's Budget and Committee Monday that, while the plan was legal itself, the implementation of the pay plan resolution could result in several million dollars worth of lawsuits against the government. fc BEDDING, DOWNTOWN, MADISON and 100 OAKS reg. 219.95 SIZE, 59 eacn SOOri set COOLER PARFAIT WfM Wiyf! NYC Bank Announces Soviet Loan NEW YORK (UPI) The Soviet Union has a friend at the Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase, which uses the "friend" reference in its advertising, announced yesterday it is making the first direct major loan by a U.S. commercial bank to the Soviet Union in more than half a century.

Chase Manhattan granted the bank for foreign trade of the USSR an $86 million credit to help finance building of the Kama River truck plant foundary. The loan parallels a loan of the same amount by the government-sponsored U.S. Export-Import Bank. The truck manufacturing complex is being built 550 miles east of Moscow and the foundry, occupying 3.6 million square feet, will be the largest in the world. Construction is to start in mid-1974.

About 150,000 diesel trucks are to be built yearly. The interest rate and terms were not disclosed and the Chase said thay would not be revealed.

UNDER THE exchange proposal, WSIX has agreed to give WDCN a certain amount of color equipment or cash equivalent (about In addition, WSIX has agreed to put WDCN's antenna on a new tower to be constructed.

The FCC approval also will enable WDCN to pursue a federal grant it is seeking to build an entirely new facility costing $2.9 million. Of that $1.3 million will come from local school bonds, $886,403 from the federal grant and $755,000 from WSIX. WDCN has proposed building its new building, with full color capability. (Continued from Page One) HOWEVER, A member of the mayor's staff said: "Certainly the mayor will veto the resolution; he has no other choice. The government's law director has said the action was illegal." The mayor's veto could come at any time, but does not have to be announced until just prior to the next regular council meeting April 3.

BUT IT was learned the legal department, anticipating a veto, already is at work trying to find if there is some way to resurrect a pay raise for employes without having to start all over. The council voted 21 to 7 Tuesday night, upon motion of Councilman James A. Hamilton to divide the $1.8 million Metro has for pay raises equally among an employes. This would amount to $42 a month and would be retroactive to last Jan. 1 and would continue through June 30.

Councilman Sanders Anglea Jr. added an amendment to the pay raise resolution to make certain employes at the lower end of the pay scale who now receive stability bonus pay at Christmas-time would continue to do so. The Anglea amendment raised from $460 to $502 the maximum pay an employe could receive and still be Metro Airport Unit Eyes Nsw Terminal (Continued from Page One) gestion at the main terminal, it was reported. The $2.1 million represents the state's one-fourth share of funding for the facility designed to relieve congestion expected at Metro Airport and to meet the needs of Davidson County through 1993. The remaining $6.3 million will come from federal grants and airport authority sources.

The airport will be located on 425 acres in the Cockrill Bend area near the state prison. About 360 acres will be used for a runway and taxi-way, while another 65 acres will be used for hangers, aircraft storage, shops and airport operations.
