feople Salina Journal Monday, May 1982 TABLE TALK Georgi Arba- tov (left) opens talks Saturday with visiting U.S. evangelist, the Rev. Billy Graham (right), UPI Photo in Moscow. The talks were at the Soviet Union's U.S.A. Institute.

Evangelist avoids offending hosts on first trip to Russia MOSCOW (UPI) The Rev. Billy firaham, in Moscow for Monday's Bnti-war conference, made clear he does not like sin and nuclear arms but has yet to denounce religious persecution in the Soviet Union. "No one here is telling me what to say," he told reporters Sunday, but aides said the U.S. evangelist was being careful to stay on good terms with his Soviet hosts so he can possibly return. joined leaders of other religious groups in a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial to the Soviet war dead on the 37th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.

"At that time the United States and Russia the Soviet Union were allies," he told worshipers at a crowded Orthodox Church. "Now we have another common enemy the possibility of nuclear holocaust." in a black robe with red collar that contrasted with the gilded surplices of the bearded Orthodox priests, he said, "Our greatest contribution to world peace is to live with Christ every day." Graham was in Moscow for a con- ference that Western diplomats said was probably suggested by the Soviet government in its effort to be seen as a champion of peace, especially in its campaign against new NATO missiles in Europe. Preaching at Moscow's Baptist Church, Graham told a congregation of more than 2,000 that sin was the worst sickness in the world. "Sin is a disease of the human heart," he said. "It is the root cause of all the problems of the world.

That is why Jesus said you must be born again." Worshipers, who needed passes to attend, briefly displayed two banners during Graham's sermon, but they were quickly taken down and he later said he did not have a chance to read them. One said "We have more than 150 prisoners for the work of the Gospel" and the other said "Deliver Those Who are Drawn Away to Death" a Biblical quotation from the Book of Proverbs. "I was too busy thinking about what I was going to say next," Graham said. Maybe not super, but close NEW YORK (UPI) It's a wage earner, it's a cook, it's a maid it's Supermom. "I'm no supermom," says Lynda Bird Robb in "Moms Who Work," a new Good Housekeeping special publication.

The magazine asked famous working moms how they coped, including Mrs. Robb, daughter of Lyndon Johnson and wife of Charles S. Robb, newly elected governor of Virginia. She has three children, and the never-ending duties of a political wife. She doubts the existence of supermom.

"It's hard not to feel guilty when you read about women with full-time jobs who bake bread, drive car pools, iron their husband's shirts do it all," she said. "It's not realistic." Joan Lunden, mother of Jamie, 2, and co-host of "Good Morning America," says, "If husbands switched roles with their wives for a week, they'd find out just how demanding a day women really put in." Lynda Robb Perrys retire baseball gag Gay lord Perry SEATTLE, Wash. (UPI) When Gaylord Perry, the ancient Mariner of Seattle, turned into a top pitcher, he ruined one of the standing gags of baseball. In pre-Perry days an innocent fan would be challenged: "Bet you can't name the brothers who have pitched the most winning games in baseball." At this point, sometimes money was wagered. The mark almost always responded by saying the Dean brothers.

Wrong. The Dean brothers won 200 games 150 for Dizzy and 50 for Daffy. The correct answer, in pre-Perry days, was Christy Mathewson and his brother, Henry. They won a total of 373 games 373 for for Christy, 0 for Henry. In modern baseball the straightforward answer is the Perry brothers 300 for Gaylord and 215 for Jim Perry of the Indians for a total of 515.

Life imitates inebriated image LOS ANGELES (UPI) Entertainer Dean Martin; who reached stardom playing a rascal who chased women and drank booze, was arrested during" the weekend on charges of drunken driving. Martin, 65, was stopped by a California Highway Patrol officer who reportedly noticed his car swerving: on the roadway just before midnight Saturday in the West Hollywood area. The singer-comedian-actor was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He was later released on his own recognizance and picked up by an unidentified person. Fjor several years, Martin drove a $100,000 Stutz convertible with the personalized license plate "DRUNKY," but deputies would not reveal whether Martin was driving the Stutz at the time of his arrest.

Quote of the day Rodney Dangerfield, who said so far be was having a good day because he got a dial tone, has hecklers who play back to his "I don't get no respect" He told BUI Diehl of ABC Radio: "I was working a dub, I don't know, five, six years ago, ready to go on to do a show. So this is the truth, this is whatever my image is, okay? A guy says to me, 'Hey, Rodney, do me a favor before you go on, will you? Can I have your autograph and some more P.S. Dwngerfield signed an autograph and arranged for the butter. Psychiatrist testifies Snub by Jodie shattered Hinckley WASHINGTON (UPI) Months before he shot President Reagan, John W. Hinckley Jr.

wrote that his "mind was on the breaking point" because he was spurned by actress Jodie Foster, Hinckley's former psychiatrist told a jury Monday. Dr. John Hopper, who said he saw Hinckley a dozen times from October 1980 to February 1981, also testified he detected a rift between Hinckley's parents over how to handle their son's deepening depression. He said Hinckley's father, Jack, a wealthy Denver oilman, wanted to take a "strict and authoritarian approach," while his mother, JoAnn, preferred a "permissive, protective stand." As Hopper began describing his sessions with Hinckley, Mrs. Hinckley, sitting in the spectators' section of the courtroom, began to cry.

Hopper was the fifth witness called by attorneys for the 26-year-old Hinckley, who has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the shootings of Reagan and three others. The trial entered its third week Monday. Hinckley's lawyers contend he was consumed with fantasies at the time of the shootings including a belief he could impress Miss Foster with the historic assault. Hopper said Hinckley first told him of his obsession with Miss Footer on Nov. 4,1960, leas than five months before the shooting.

"He apparently asked her for a date and she turned him down," said Hopper. "He expressed disappointment in himself. He expressed dissatisfaction with himself as though he expected she would want to go out with him. He also conveyed that he wasn't surprised that she turned him down." Hopper said he later asked Hinckley to write an autobiography. In one section read by Hopper, Hinckley described his feeling after approaching Miss Foster at Yale University, where she was a student, and being told she had no interest in him.

"My mind was on the breaking point at all times," Hinckley wrote. "A relationship I had dreamed about went absolutely nowhere. A disillusionment was complete." In the autobiography, Hinckley also said he had "removed myself from the real world" because he had become "so inactive and reclusive" in the previous five years. Hopper said Hinckley described his attempt to take writing courses at Yale, apparently so he could see Miss Foster, and said he had two obsessions writing and Miss Foster. "I care about nothing else," he quoted Hinckley as saying.

He said Hinckley told him of having had only one "brief relationship" with a girl about two years earlier, which be said "didn't really go anywhere." "He characterized his experience with the opposite sex in that he did not feel confident, and he did not feel very successful in relating to girls," Hooper said. Ugly duckling? Hopper, the only psychiatrist to treat Hinckley for what his mother called deep depression, said he first phoned Hinckley at the request of John Hinckley Sr. The doctor said they discussed the pressures of being the youngest child and least successful person "in a family of successful people." But during their sessions, Hopper GARDEN said, Hinckley was "very guarded aifl reserved about giving information." JJ Hopper said be worked out a with Hinckley's parents giving HQ- ddey until March 1 to have a Job aigl be on his own by March 3d the dip he shot Reagan. In early March, Hopper said, Hig- ckley called his parents, saying he wfj in New York City penniless and askby to come home. Hopper said he ed making Hinckley wait a few or perhaps letting him get home on own "I didn't realize then there as much concern as I guess we all ize there should have been." In a poem written long before ttp shootings, Hinckley seemed to cry for help from a psychiatrist.

"Hey doctor, there is a small profij: lem that I seem to have with communP: eating. Shut up and listen to my lift story although I don't want to tell it Hinckley wrote in the undated poem. 2t "Can you counsel me and tell that everything will be fine and because you will help me to help myself?" 'S Energy secretary denies he'll resign WASHINGTON (UPI) Energy Secretary James Edwards Monday denied a published report he will quit the Cabinet June 30, saying he still intends to "extract a few teeth" from those who have been "putting the bite on taxpayers." Edwards, a dentist, said he has been offered the presidency at the Medical University of South Carolina and that he has expressed interest in the offer. But he said his job with the Energy Department "is not yet complete." "The president understands my desire to fulfill these and other commitments," Edwards said. "And as the only dentist I still plan to extract a few teeth from those who have been putting the bite on the taxpayers for all too long." iV iV Wall Street economist warns of budget crisis WASHINGTON (UPI) A leading Wall Street economist Sunday forecast a budget deficit as high as $175 billion next year, with severe economic consequences, unless politicians "strong dogma" to forge a meaningful budget compromise.

Henry Kaufman, chief economist for the investment firm Salomon also said the budget package adopted by the Senate Budget Committee and endorsed by President Reagan is based on "very strong" economic assumptions that may prove too optimistic. Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Kaufman said the $106 billion deficit for fiscal 1983 predicted by the GOP-dominated Senate committee would be "very hard to achieve." It is likely, he said, that the deficit will be "considerably larger at a minimum anywhere from $150 to $175 billion." (Continued from Page 1) put little covers Ground the pepper and tomato plants. Well, I tell you, you know this time of the year those little plants can get injured. So you've got to be careful; you've got to know the signs of the weather." Gorrell moved from his parents' farm near Garnett when he was 19. He has lived in the Salina area ever since.

"I packed flour at the H.D. Lee Flour mills for 18 years and then ran the Salina Wastepaper Co. for a while," be said. "Sometime during that time I bought a 170-acre farm out on the Gypsum road sold it when I was with the wastepaper company don't remember what year it was." Advocates hard work The theme that surfaces each time Gorrell speaks is work hard work, not the "piddly-anty" paperwork that others advocate. And, he admits, his work is not without its share of emotional investments.

"You can't always predict what your REAGAN (Continued from Page 1) "pacifying verbiage" about disarmament. "The U.S. ruling circles are conducting an openly hostile policy with regard to the Soviet Union and other socialist countries," he said in an article in Pravda published before Reagan spoke. Reagan said he experienced "a warm flood of memories" Sunday as he returned to the college that granted him a degree in economics and the social sciences in 1932. The 86 members of the graduating scanned by metal detectors before entering the gymnasium for the ceremony, marched one by one past three Secret Service agents to the stage to recieve then- diplomas and congratulatory handshakes and an occasional kiss from Reagan and his wife, Nancy.

Eureka College President Daniel Gilbert announced a new scholarship fund named after Reagan and intended to aid students who may be affected by administration spending cuts. Solon opposes tax cut WASHINGTON (UPI) House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski says the 10 percent tax cut scheduled for next year should be repealed because the country cannot afford it. Rostenkowski said in an interview with U.S. News World Report published Sunday the third installment of the tax reduction would widen the budget deficit and harm the economy.

"The thing is, a crop can look real good. And then something about the weather will come along and might take pretty near all of your crop away from you.

Now those are rough times. "How do I cope? Well, how does anyone cope? You just do, and start over." Gorrell has known his share of rough times, says his daughter, Freda Har- 10th. "Back during the Depression years he was laid off at the flour mill," she said. "Times were tough and it was a question of economics. Oh, he's seen his share of bad times, like he and Mamma lost two children.

One died of pneumonia and the other during childbirth Mama just worked too hard when it was being born But you don't hear him talk much about that, though. He's just gone on." Gorrell and his wife, Hazel, werefr married 53 years. She died a couple years ago. "I'm an old man, can't work muclt- anymore. And I have so many children that well, I Just lost of how many I do have.
