Riffe, administrator of Prairie View Care Center at Woonsocket, has been charged with embezzlement of $6,700 from trust funds of patients of the intermediate care facility. Atty. Gen. William Janklow said Riffe, an Assembly of God minister, was released on bond pending formal arraignment expected within two weeks. He appeared in Sanborn County Circuit Court last Thursday and is represented by Mitchell attorney, E.

Steeves Smith. The care center was formerly known as Friendship Manor. Riffe is a brother-in-law of Sen. George McGovern. He owns the care facility with his father, the Rev.

G.L. Riffe, of Jamestown, N.D. The two people acquired the care facility in 1971. According to state health officials, the facility is licensed for 35 intermediate care beds and 17 supervised personal care beds. Janklow said that Riffe used patients' trust funds for his own purposes while administrator of the nursing home.

The alleged offense occurred between 1974-76, Janklow said. According to an Associated Press dispatch, Riffe said the charge resulted from "carelessness" in handling of the funds. He said there is an appropriate jA-ay to handle the funds, and that wasn't done. S.D.jury awards company $270,000 SIOUX FALLS, S.D.

African boycott gaining momentum Kissinger to speak with Tanzanian leader today DAR SAT AAXft if JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) The three-day strike by black workers in Johannesburg eased slightly today on its last day, but many of Cape Town 200,000 nonwhite workers began a two- day work boycott despite leaflets postponing it a week. Three more blacks were killed by police gunfire Tuesday night in Johannesburg's Soweto township, raising the toll to at least 16 dead since the start Monday of the job protest against the white government's racial policies, the city's leading Slack newspaper reported.

The docks, the building industry, bread and milk deliveries, large manufacturers and business houses were hJt by the new strike in Cape Town, on the coast 800 miles southwest of Johannesburg. Business houses and shops were open in all areas, but the streets were comparatively empty and business houses were hard hit. Steadily decreasing absenteeism was reported in Johannesburg, but the number of strikers was still apparently considerable. The South African Press Association said employers reported no more than 60 per cent of their black workers absent today. The maximum figure Tuesday was 70 per cent, and the Chamber of Commerce estimated that on Monday, when the strike started, 70 to 80 per cent of the city's 250,000 black workers stayed home.

The news agency said Johannesburg business houses and industries reported "millions" of man hours lost. The black newspaper The World said riot police in Soweto opened fire and killed three persons Tuesday night when striking blacks attacked workers returning from Johannesburg after defying the strike call. There was no immediate comment on the report. But Maj. Gen.

D.J. Kriel, the chief of riot control, said reports in The World that police killed nine blacks earlier Tuesday were "nonsense." He said the only casualties Tuesday reported to him were two blacks wounded when police opened fire with birdshot to disperse demonstrators. The World also reported that on Monday night police lulled two blacks and strikers killed two others who refused to strike. Police said the bodies of two blacks slain by other blacks had been found but confirmed only one death from police gunfire Monday night. White journalists were not allowed into the big black township eight miles south of Johannnesburg, so they could not check the reports.

At least 339 persons have been killed in three months of violent protests against the white government's racial policies. All but three of the dead have been blacks or coloreds, as persons of mixed race are called in South Africa. The police appeared to have brought Soweto under control Tuesday night, The World reported. 3 5 percent ofS.D. winter wheat sown SIOUX FALLS, S.D.

(AP) Widespread rain last week spurred seedings of winter wheat in South Dakota's major producing areas, but the state Crop ana Livestock Reporting Service said much more is needed to get the fall crops going. By this week 35 per cent of the winter wheat was sown, which is 22 points behind last year's seeding pace and nine points below normal. Also lagging because of dry soil is rye seeding, which the service said is 15 per cent complete in comparison with S9 per cent last year at this time. Corn silaging operations are continuing throughout much of the state, and some fanners report they are grazing com fields which were too short to be cut for silage. Com fields to be harvested for grain continue to ripen ahead, of normal, said the service.

Problems with ear droppage have been reported in many fields. Soybeans are also maturing rapidly, and sorghum fields to be harvested for grain have been showing more head color. Fall plowing is slightly behind normal at 58 per cent. Operators are delaying plowing in some areas because of dry soil conditions and to prevent blowing. Topaoil moisture remains short over the state except for a small southern border area near the Missouri River.

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (AP) Secretary of State Henry Kisssinger met today with President Julius Nyerere, forewarned that Tanzania's leader wants quick, effectve American action to end the rule of the white minority in southern Africa. The two conferred privately for an hour and then were joined by senior advisers for a full-scale discussion of the tangled issues of racial confrontation in the region. In a commentary issued on the eve of the meeting. Nyerere'S government said Americans who fought for their own independence must concede the same right to black guerrillas who have taken up arms for freedom. "Why cannot the American government say that if a peaceful transfer of power is impossible because of the intransigence of the racists, then it will be on the side of those who fight for freedom?" the Tanzanian government asked.

"The freedom fighters do not want non-African forces from anywhere. All they want is the wherewithal to conduct their own fight." The statement also denounced South African Prime Minister John Vorster as "the butcher" of Soweto, the black Johannesburg ghetto that has been a center of antigovernment agitation and violence since mid-June. It contended that Kissinger's meetings with Vorster have given the South African leader the appearance of "a respectable statesman." Hundreds of young banner- waving demonstrators chanted "Kissinger go home," "Down with the CIA and "No dialogue with Vorster" at the airport as the secretary of state arrived shortly before midnight Tuesday. In an arrival statement, Kissinger said he was undertaking his peace mission at the request of African leaders. "The United States wants nothing for itself," he conflict we are trying to end is a conflict which will affect mdst of all the people of Africa." A senior American official in Kissinger's party told reporters during the flight from Europe to Tanzania that the Soviet government is plotting actively to wreck the secretary of state's peace mission.

Herbergers opens 4 stores in Minn. Larry Motsick announced today a major 4 store Minnesota expansion for Herberger's department stores. The announcement will affect 4 Minnesota communities. Two present Herberger's department stores and two new shopping center locations.

Construction Warren Report might be reopened Moyniliaii wins in NY, will run against Buckley It will be Daniel Patrick Moynihan, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, against James Buckley in the race for the U.S. Senate from New York. On a day in which such national figures as Edward Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and William Proxmire were easily renominated for their Senate seats by the Democrats in their states, Moynihan edged Rep.

Bella Abzug on Tuesday in New York's Democratic contest and Buckley won as expected on the Republican side. Moynihan, 49, who quit lust year as ambassador to the United Nations, held a narrow lead throughout the evening, doing well in working-class and lower middle-class communities In the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, concede defeat, saying she would wait until an official recanvass, routine under state law, is completed next week. Unofficial returns, with per cent of the state election and Staten Island. Mrs. Abzug refuted to districts counted, mowed her losing to Moynihan by about 8,000 votes out of more than 900,000 cast for five Democratic candidates.

Moynihan had 324,900 votes, or 36 per cent, to 316,216, or 35 per cent, for Mrs. Abzug. Former U.S. Atty. Gen.

Ramsey Clark, New York City Council president Paul O'Dwyer and businessman Abraham HirscWeld trailed far behind. Despite widespread prediction! of voter apathy, the heated Democratic primary race attracted a 25 per cent turnout, about the norm in New York. But the Republican primary, first statewide contact for the GOP in over 50 yean, produced only about a IB per cent turnout. Buckley, 59, won it 70 par cent to 30 per cent for Rep. Peter Peyser of Westcheiter County.

Voter turnout in other state primaries was light, with estimates running from 17 per cent to 33 per cent. In another race of note, Gov. Philip Noel of Rhode Island was near defeat in his race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat John 0. Pastore.

He trailed auto dealer Richard Lorber by 361 votes in the final, unofficial tally, but there were 3,111 absentee ballots still to be counted. Noel has had problems nationally since publicity last spring on some derogatory remarks he made about blacks. But his trouble in the primary Is believed to have stemmed more from discontent among Rhode Island voters with the status quo. There were also some noteworthy results in New Hampshire, where outspoken conservative Gov. Meldrim Thomson was renominated for a third term by Republicans.

The most startling result was a victory by a man named Johji Adams, who won a GOp congressional primary for which he didn't campaign at WASHINGTON (AP) Speaker Carl Albert said Tuesday he expects the House to reopen investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Albert told reporters he has discussed witn Rep.

Ray Madden, chairman of the House Rules Committee, the establishment of a special study committee. The Rules Committee is expected to act Wednesday. Interest in a long-dormant pending resolution for a House investigation at least of President Kennedy's death was revived by members of the Congressional Black Caucus. They persuaded the leadership, it was understood, to back the proposal for an investigating committee and broaden its mandate to include the King case. Mrs.

Coretta King, widow of the civil rights leader, was reported to be pressing for a further inquiry on the oasis of alleged new information. President Kennedy was shot Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, but never brought to trial because he was killed two later by Jack Ruby, who subsequently died in prison. A special commission was named to investigate the Kennedy assassination.

It reported Sept. 87, 1964, that it had found no evidence that any one other than Oswald was implicated. Sen. Kennedy of New York, brother of the late President and at the time a contender (or the Democratic presidential nomination, was shot in Los Angeles June 5, 1968, and died the next day. Sirhan B.

Slrhan, convicted of murder in the death, is serving a life sentence in San Quentln penitentiary in California. King was shot to death April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. James Earl Ray pleaded guilty and is serving a 99-year sentence in Brushy Mountain State Prison In Tennessee. Later, however, Ray sought to reopen his case, testifying that he bad not killed King and had intended his original plea to be merely a technical one, to be withdrawn later. Legal proceedings are still pending.

is expected to begin immediately on both stores with a late summer 1977 opening date slated. Larry Motsick also announced two new 40,000 square foot retail outlets in Willmar, Minnesota's Kandi Mall and Fergus Falls, Minnesota's yet to be constructed West Ridge Mall. The construction of Herberger's two newest department stores Is expected to commence soon with late 1977 opening dates planned. This major expansion announcement follows Herberger's recent additions of 4 new stores in the past 12 months. They include a branch store in St.

Cloud, Minnesota's Crossroads Center and 3 new stores in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Billings and Great Falls, Montana. The firm also opened a new store in Rice Lake, Wisconsin's Cedar Mall, having been a major downtown retailer in that city since 1846. Motsick pointed out that Herberger's has the unique distinction of being totally owned and operated by its employee stockholders. All outstanding shares of stock are owned by active employees. This transfer of ownership occured in October of 1972 when company founder G.R.

(Bob) Herberger offered the balance of his stock to the employees. Herberger is now honorary chairman of the board of directors. Herbergers opened their Mitchell store in the Super City Shopping Center In August, 1974. Motsick has been store manager since December, 1975. ornci or ATTMHIY MDMAI mui or CIIMMAL 1976.
