REPUBLIC MAIL B-2 Tha Arizona Republic Thoenix, July lfi, 1974 2,000 already lost as Iribe seeks relief Papagos' cattle dying in drought Libertarian Parlv elects officers TUCSON The Arizona Libertarian Party elected officers Saturday at a meeting held in Tucson. Michael B. Thompson, an 18-year-old student at Phoenix College, was elected as party chairman. James Kirk of Tucson was elected secretary and Areta Johnson, also of Tucson, was re-elected treasurer. The party was founded In 1972 and claims 10,000 members nationally, including 200 in Arizona.

Associated Press SELLS Two thousand cattle have died in a 10-month dry spell on the 2.8 milllion acre Papago Indian Reservation and officials say their ranching industry is in trouble. "This year they fear it's going to be almost a wipeout of the herd," said Tribal Chairman Jacob Escalante. Joseph Lucero, Bureau of Indian Affairs spokesman here, said the Indian cattlemen fear they could lose half of the 18,000 cattle on the reservation before there is any relief. Escalante and 10 other tribal officials met in Phoenix Monday with Gov. Williams in an attempt to seek relief.

Williams told tribal officials they should send telegrams to Secretary of Interior Rogers C. B. Morton, asking that EIA emergency funds be made available to purchase hay for the cattle. Williams said he would also ask Morton to help. Officials said they have counted at least 50 dead cattle around each of the 34 major waterholes on the reservation and others are dead elsewhere.

Most of the waterholes are dry and range grasses the cattle feed on have not grown back due to the lack of rain, said Lucero. Cleanup of the cattle carcasses is expected to begin soon to prevent them from poisoning waterholes when rain does come. Dry spells between 19C9 and 1972 claimed an estimated 1,800 head of cattle, tribal officials said.

Barry Goldwater has announced the distribution of more than $6,200 in funds donated by a New Jersey service club to five Arizona Indian tribes.

The funds were donated by District 751 of Rotary International of New Jersey, to be used for needy Indian children who cannot afford clothing and receive no government aid, Goldwater said. The money was distributed by Goldwater to the Hopis, Navajos, Colorado River, Papago and Yavapai tribes and the St. John's Indian School at Laveen.

Fritz, a seven-month-old jaguar, playfully gnaws at the head of Roy Spaude, a member of the Como Park Zoological Society, who is the animal's foster father until the animal is old enough to go on display at the Como Park Zoo in St.

Paul. For his birthday this year, Tom Freestone received an unusual and perhaps not altogether welcome gift the job of Maricopa county recorder. Freestone, who was 36 Monday, took over the county recorder's duties after Paul Marston resigned to run for secretary of state. The official swearing-in date has not been set, Freestone said, although it could be as early as Monday. "I don't plan to make any changes until I see all the strong points and weak points of what we are doing," Freestone said.

"We'll see what they are during the (upcoming primary) election." The new recorder pointed to his "take-the-extra-step" philosophy as the key to political success. "I believe in a policy of carrying cooperation to its farthest extent," he said, adding that he intended to have a lower profile concerning lawsuits than his predecessor. Marston, in his six years as county recorder, had constant legal battles with the Board of Supervisors, the most recent a test of who should supervise voter registration. The board appointed Freestone, then head of the county vehicle licensing division, as Marston's successor last April when former recorder announced he would seek state office, despite Marston's personal recommendation of Cynthia McQuirk, a recorder's office employe. "I have a good rapport with the Board of Supervisors and a tremendous amount of respect for the HAZEL JONES 135,000 is for death in old mine Tom Freestone individuals on the board," Freestone said.

"I anticipate any problems of communication." Freestone has come under criticism for his lack of expertise in computer technology, but said he was confident that he could handle the technical aspect of the job. "I trust the people in data processing and with Cindy's (McQuirk) help, I'm not worried," he said. In a varied career, Freestone has been a football player, the state amateur wrestling champion in 1956, a MormOn missionary, a tag-team wrestling performer, a business executive and an unsuccessful candidate for the State Tax Commission in 1972. "I'm an extrovert and an athlete, unlike Paul (Marston) who was an introvert and a technical expert," he said. "There's jiothing wrong with either, but we're two different kinds of men." ftsat The father of an 8-year-old California boy who died after falling 165 feet in an abandoned mine in a federal recreation area in Arizona has been awarded $135,000 damages.

The damages stemmed from a suit filed in federal court in 1971 against the National Park Service by Victor R. Jeffery of Loma Linda, as the result of the death of Jeffery's son, Douglas, on May 10, 1970. In awarding the damages, U. S. District Judge Walter E.

Craig said the National Park Service's failure to five adequate warning of the hidden dangers of the mine constituted negligence. Douglas was riding on the back of his father's motorcycle near Katherine Landing Campground in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area when Jeffery came upon an open mine shaft of Williams OKs "Deal Direct PHOENIX CLENDALE SUN CITY 944-5110 AP SPORTS ALMANAC The Phoenix Gazette Box 2236, Phoenix, Az.

Jeffery managed to turn the motorcycle on its side and grasped a timber at the mine shaft opening to keep from falling into the mine, but he was unable to save Douglas, who slid into the opening and dropped 165 feet to his death, testimony indicated.

Craig said evidence at the trial showed that at the time of the accident the mine was a "concealed or hidden danger or peril." The National Park Service knew of these dangerous conditions and had a duty to exercise reasonable care to correct the danger or at least give adequate warning or notice of the existence of the danger, Craig concluded. Jeffery had sought $250,000 damages. medical unit be more successful in getting additional doctors here." In other business, Councilman Drake Seaman was named alternate representative on the Cocopai development board, an organization of Coconino and Yavapai counties. Bill Anderson, Northern Arizona Council of Governments representative, told the council a final draft of the comprehensive plan for Williams would be presented at the September council meeting. Hearing Aids The Quality goes In before the name goes on THE OFFICIAL ASSOCIATED PRESS 1974 Press club plans watch on legislation Professional seminars and the monitoring of legislation that affects the press are among new directions planned by the Arizona Press Club, President Jana Bom-mersbach said Monday.

The 50-year-old club, which traditionally has sponsored an annual writing contest for journalists and the Grid-iro Show spoofing politicians and club members, also is planning a workshop on investigative reporting for later this year. Other work- shops planned include a craft seminar on radio news and a session on reporters' legal rights. Hal Marshall, news bureau chief at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and Bill Stull of KTAR-TV, Phoenix, a were named co-chairmen of the club's seminar committee at Saturday's annual summer meeting in Tucson. Heading a subcommittee on radio are Jim Swineharr, news director of KTKT-liadio, Tucson, and Bob Scott, news director of KOY-Radio, Phoenix. The legal problems a reporter faces on the job will be the subject of a seminar that will include reporters and lawyers from around the state, Miss Bommersbach said.

Mel Foor, a reporter for The Phoenix Gazette, was named chairman of the legal committee. He will be assisted by attorney Jack Levine of Phoenix. Sen. John Scott Ulm, D-Tucson, a television newsman, stressed the need for the club to monitor legislation that affects the press. He pointed out that all of the laws now protecting in Arizona were almost wiped off the books by the legislature last year, but failed by one vote.

WILLIAMS The City Council has approved plans for the city to construct a medical building with office space for four doctors.
