"The Paper That Goes Into The Home" OUR 86TH YEAR NO. FINAL UNIONTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1974 15 CENTS Ford, Dems Argue Inflation President Gives Congress Rap By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Writer KANSAS CITY (AP) After chiding the Democratic-controlled Congress for coolness toward his economic program, President Ford set up campaign stops in four states today in behalf of Republican candidates. After two morning appearances here at GOP fund-raising affairs, Ford was bound for Sioux Falls, S.D., Lincoln, and Indianapolis before returning to the White House early Thursday morning. Ford spoke Tuesday night to the Kansas City convention of Future Farmers of America, where he used stronger- than-usual language to say that if Congress doesn't like his present program to attempt to counter both inflation and economic downturn, "I may be back with some tough turkey." To an audience of about 10,000 in the Kansas City convention center, Ford said some people were contending his inflation-fighting blueprint called for biting a marshmallow instead of a bullet. He went on: "Well, I had already asked the Congress to postpone for three months a 5.5 per cent pay raise for federal government employes which would have saved $700 million.

Congress wouldn't even chew that Ford said Congress has yet to show "much appetite for some of the other 'marshmallows' in my latest message," and declared: "If they don't like my menu I may be back with some tough turkey." Except on the issue of a threatened Congressional cutoff of U.S. aid to Turkey, Ford has seldom criticized the Democratic-controlled Congress. His complaints about Capitol Hill reaction to his economic plan marked a departure from his customary stance. Ford outlined a 12-point program which he said would help fight inflation if adopted by workaday Americans. The 12 points: 1.

"Bring budgeting back in style. Balance your family budget and expect your government officials to do exactly the same." 2. "Learn how to use credit wisely. (Continued On Page 13, Col. 1) Controls Asked By Mansfield WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, calling President Ford's economic program only a partial answer, has urged a larger government role in the economy.

"To 'Whip Inflation Now' WIN, as the slogan goes will require action, action that encompasses something more and different than a 10-point program which begins by imposing greater tax burdens' on families with annual incomes of more than increased acreage allotments for peanuts, cotton and rice production," Mansfield said Tuesday. Lottery Dispute Settled By BILL MOSER A Fairchance couple who separated shortly after they won $1 million in the Pennsylvania State Lottery will share in the remaining funds, according to an agreed settlement in court here. Based on stipulated facts, Judge John I. Munson has ruled that Phillip W. Sutton Sr.

and Rose Ann Sutton will each receive $450,000 over the next 18 years. Judge Munson directed the pro- thonotary's office here to send a certified copy of the judgment to the Bureau of State Lotteries, Dept. of Revenue. Beginning- in July 1975, Mr. and Mrs.

Sutton will each receive $25,000 a year for 18 years. Atty. Robert L. Webster of Uniontown represented Mr. Sutton in the case that began soon after the Fan-chance man purchased a 50-cent lottery ticket from a licensed agent, Stephen Mateleska, on Feb.

28, 1973. Numbers on the ticket made it eligible for the millionaire finalist drawing. With Mrs. Sutton's signature affixed on its back the ticket eventually survived the drawing of numbers and was declared winner of a million dollars. When the first payment of $50,000 arrived Mrs.

Sutton took the check and left home. Mr. Webster said that since then an arrangement has been made on sharing the first $100,000. In his ruling Judge Munson stated that Mr. Webster "proved by a preponderance of evidence" that Mr.

Sutton has a right to recover damages in the amount of $450,000 from Mrs. Sutton. When this law suit was filed there were comments from officials of the state lottery commission and the organized bar that it should not be taken too seriously. But the result established in Mr. Webster's case reinforces certain legal principles, including: lottery ticket constitutes personal property under the laws of the Commonwealth.

husband and wife can maintain suit against each other to preserve and protect separate property rights. long arm statutes of the Commonwealth empowers the courts to reach beyond its territorial limits to serve those who try to escape and avoid legal service of process. 3 Of 5 Cover-Up Defendants: 'Every Man For Himself? By MIKE SHANAHAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) At least three of the five defendants in the Watergate cover-up trial have adopted strategies of every man for himself. Defendants John D. Ehrlichman and Robert C.

Mardian are "scrambling to avoid conviction, opening statements by the lawyers showed Tuesday. Jacob Stein, attorney for defendant Kenneth W. Parkinson, was scheduled to make his opening statement today and was expected to emphasize his client's distance from the other defendants. Parkinson had argued unsuccessfully in pre-trial motions for a separate trial. Lawyers for former President Richard M.

Nixon's former staff chief, H.R. Haldeman and former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell plan to deliver their opening statements after the prosecution has completed its case.

One of those originally indicted in the case and already in jaii, John W. Dean III, was scheduled to lead off the Watergate prosecutors' case today, after a day's delay. Dean, expected to be the prosecution's star witness, had been scheduled to appear Tuesday, but opening statements by two defense lawyers took longer than planned. Nixon has himself been subpoenaed to testify by the prosecution and defense. U.S.- District Judge John J.

Sirica set Thursday afternoon for a hearing on requests from the former President's lawyers that he be excused for reasons of ill health. In the first defense opening statement Tuesday, Ehrlichman's lawyer confirmed increasing reports that his client would openly split with the former President, whom Ehrlichman served for six years. While saying it was not easy for Ehrlichman to make such charges, attorney William S. Frates said Nixon lied to Ehrlichman about Watergate "to save his own neck." But Frates also sought to divorce Ehrlichman from the other defendants in of the jurors. Man Is Arrested On Rape Charge OK The great President Ford chided Congress last night for coolness toward his anti-inflation program and threatened some "tough But Sen.

Mansfield, the Democratic Senate spokesman, says his proposals don't go far enough to relieve the situation. As for the poor ordinary guy confronted with all this, all he can say is Help! More political attention. Investigation by city and State Police has led to the arrest of a Uniontown man on charges of rape, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering the life of another person. Rogene Truley, 23, who lists his address as the YMCA, was arrested this Prospect St. House Blaze Fire early this morning damaged the basement area at the residence of Amanda Morley, 26 Prospect Uniontown.

Firemen answered the alarm at 3:30 and were on the scene for nearly an hour. They said the blaze started in a storage area where furniture and clothing had been placed. A false alarm was sounded at 8:10 last night from Box 261, Bailey Ave. and Walnut St. morning by State Police.

A warrant calling for his arrest on the charges was served on him in his cell at the county jail, where he was lodged last Friday on charges of recklessly endangering the life of another person. Police said he would be arraigned on the new charges before District Magistrate Harold Parker of South Union and Menallen Twps. Police said they have been working on the rape case since last Wednesday, when the incident was first brought to the attention of Uniontown Area Senior High School officials and attendants at Uniontown Hospital. A 16-year-old girl and her 15-year-old boy companion were walking along the lower end of S. Grant in South Union at approximately 1:35 p.m.

Both are students at the high school. They said that a man approached them, the boy was hit over the head with a gun and knocked unconscious and the girl was raped. The suspect then fled the scene. The heavyset, folksy Miami, lawyer noted that Watergate prosecutors in their opening statement had linked Ehrlichman's name repeatedly with Haldeman, Ehrlichman's close friend from their days together as college students in California. "The government was always saying Haldeman-Ehrlichman, Haldeman- Ehrlichman, Haldeman-Ehrlichman.

We're here to defend John Ehrlichman. We're not here to defend the other defendants, nor are we here to prosecute," he said. David Bress, the other defense lawyer who first addressed jurors Tuesday, cautioned them to make sure they noticed how little of the prosecution's evidence Bress said involved his client, former Nixon re-election committee official Mardian.

"Words and slogans will no longer satisfy the nation," he said in a nationally broadcast Democratic response to Ford's economic program. He called for fuel rationing, tough controls on wages, prices and profits, allocation of credit, "a broad system of tying workers' wages to living costs and a tax break for the poor.

Mansfield said the Ford administration's heavy reliance on tight money and reduced federal spending to help the economy is only a partial answer. "Sacrifices are needed across the board if the nation's economy is to be restored," the Democratic leader said. "In my judgment, the people of this nation are prepared to make those sacrifices." Mansfield said the nation cannot come to grips with inflation, recession and unemployment "unless we begin to move in the direction controls on wages, prices, rents and profits, as necessary. a rationing system for energy and other scarce materials, coupled with a tight conservation program. a system of indexing, under which workers' real incomes are tied directly to living costs.
