Secretly paid $75,000 Head of Pepperdine denies wrongdoing GLENDA De GRAAF Mrs. DeGraaf named Country House manager Glenda Hardin De Graaf, who has lived in Redlands for 29 years and graduated from Redlands high school in 1962, has been promoted to the position as manager of Griswold's Country House, it was announced today. Mrs. De Graaf has been associated with the Country House for two years, first employed for nearly one year as bookkeeper. In January 1974 she was appointed banquet manager and in April that year became both banquet and day dining room manager.

Prior to joining Griswold's, she was employed by Security Pacific Bank in its Yucaipa and Redlands branches for about five years, working in the bookkeeping, Note Department, Safe Deposit and New Accounts divisions. Born in Arkansas, Mrs. De Graaf came to Redlands as an infant with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hardin who live in Redlands.

She is the mother of an eight-year-old daughter, Kathleen, and a member of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce. Ziegler to halt lecture appearances SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) Former presidential press secretary Ron Ziegler abandoned the lecture circuit Wednesday, saying his appearances kept Watergate passions alive. "I am perfectly willing to discuss Watergate," Ziegler said in a letter to his lecture booking agent. "I believe there are important lessons to be drawn from the mistakes and wrongdoing that created it.

"But what I am not willing to do is join the ranks of the 'Watergate lecturers' whose appearances continue to draw the subject into an arena of confrontation." Ziegler said he wanted to present a broader picture of the Nixon years the successes. SACRAMENTO (UPI) The chairman of the Pepperdine University Board of Trustees says there was "no wrongdoing" in the school secretly paying $75,000 to university President Dr. William Banowsky through a dummy company. Chairman Donald Miller made the comment Wednesday after the Sacramento Bee reported Banowsky and Dr. M.

Norvel Younger, the chancellor of Pepperdine, received money to reward vigorous fundraising efforts for the school. It said the payments were kept secret to prevent faculty and staff unrest. At his home in Malibu, Banowsky. a Republican national committeeman who has been mentioned as a possible U.S. Senate candidate in 1976, said the Bee article was being exploited by "political opponents who are trying to discourage me from entering the Senate race against (Democratic Sen.) John Tunney.

"Nobody is making any charges of wrongdoing, nobody has made any charges of illegality, nobody has made any charges of immorality," Banowsky said. "It's an effort to exploit a system that the university used which, in retrospect, is perhaps not the wisest way to do it, but which certainly was the legal way to do it," he said. "The annual compensation does not reflect the unprecedented growth of Pepperdine University during the last decade," Miller said. "The university's compensation of its officials is clearly in line with that of other education institutions." Miller also said, 'The board has concluded in retrospect that while the method used was not the best. Nevertheless, there was clearly no wrongdoing." Pepperdine has two campuses, one is south central Los Angeles; the other is a 626-acre campus in the Santa Monica mountains above Malibu.

Banowsky has been credited with increasing the school's assets from $5 million to $75 million and the enrollment from 1,200 to 7,000 pupils. He started working at Pepperdine in 1968. The money was paid through University Planning Consultants, a company name used solely to disburse the funds, the Bee said. The Bee said Banowsky's present salary is $52,500. In his first year as president, 1971, he received a salary of $45,000, of which $15,000 came through University Planning Consultants, the Bee said.

The paper said the university was investigated by the attorney general's office from May 1973 until October 1974. Lawrence R. Tapper, the deputy attorney general who headed the Pepperdine investigation, was quoted as saying his office "was unquestionably disturbed about University Planning Consultants." Tapper said, "We have insisted on and assisted in a restructuring of the board, its committees and the functions of the school's executives." Tapper told the Bee the state would not take the school to court because "the only legitimate purpose of our doing so would be to get the money back." Prehistoric beast has wings 51 feet wide WASHINGTON (UPI) About 65 million years ago, a long-necked beast with wings 51 feet wide soared like a vulture over a west Texas stream bed in search of a meal from a fallen dinosaur, turtle or crocodile. That's the scene that might be imagined on the basis of a report by Douglas Lawson in this week's issue of Science magazine. Until now, most scientists had not believed any flying creature could be that big.

But Lawson says he found the fossil bones of a such a winged reptile in the siltstone and sandstone of what once was a stream bed in west Texas' Big Bend National Park. "It's really unthinkable that this particular big beast was not a flying animal of some sort, however he managed to do it," said Dr. Warm Langston University of Texas geology professor who supervised Lawson's work while he was a Texas graduate student.

O. Box 704, Redlands, Ca. 92373 PHONE (714) 792-2786 Lawson, now at the University of California at Berkeley, estimated the beast, known as a pterosaur, had a wingspan of 51 feet, although he said it could have been as small as 36 feet or as big as 69 feet. The largest pterosaur known previously had 20-foot wings. The biggest bird today, the condor, has a wing spread up to 10 feet.

"It widens our vistas on how large a winged creature of any kind may neve become in nature," Langston said in a telephone interview Wednesday." Pterosaurs, also found in western Kansas, had tiny bodies for their big wing size and very light, hollow bones. They are generally thought to have had leathery wings like a bat. Because of their small bodies and aerodynamic considerations, scientists have wondered whether the creatures were able to flap their wings and take off from level ground or whether they had to jump off a cliff or other high point and glide. Recent reports, however, five argued the reptiles could take off on their own. Langston said the Texas discovery supports that theory because geologic evidence indicates there was no high terrain in the area at the time the creatures lived.

Lawson said in the report the partial remains found suggest the creatures had long necks with thin, toothless jaws and that they fed off dead dinosaurs, turtles and crocodiles. In addition to the big pterosaur, bones from two smaller ones were found. OPEN SUNDAYS DISCOUNT HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTERS LANE'S SUNDAY ONLY SPECIALS! P.Y.C. Reg. 13c ft.

Sorting Nixon's papers may take until 1980 WASHINGTON (UPI) General Services Administrator Arthur F.

Sampson says his job of sorting out the sensitive papers of Richard M. Nixon's presidency may take until I960. In a news briefing Wednesday, Sampson explained his proposals for determining which Nixon materials should be made public, which should be returned to the former president and which should be kept private. Congress passed a law in December asking the GSA to make accessible to the public documents describing any abuses of government power or materials of general historical significance. Sampson said this raised questions of what constitutes abuse of power, what were "private or personal materials" that should be returned, and what was "privacy." To define abuse of government power, Sampson said the GSA is using investigations of the Senate Watergate committee and the Watergate Special Prosecution Force as its primary source and the House Judiciary Committee's articles of impeachment as a secondary source.

To define "private or personal materials," Sampson said the GSA spoke to the staffs of former first families, universities housing other presidential libraries, members of Congress, the special prosecutor and the Justice Department. For instance, he asked, is a letter from a president to his wife "private and personal" no matter what it says, or does the content of the letter determine whether it is private and personal? Nixon has challenged the law and it is, being considered by a three-judge court, The decision undoubtedly will be appealed, to the Supreme Court, a process Sampson- believes might require up to 18 Not until then, he said, can the GSA begin sorting the 880 White House tapes; covering 5,000 hours of photographs; 42 million pieces of, 37,000 cubic-feet in all. Sampson estimated the 5,700 of materials from the Watergate period- would take three years. It will take an average of 20 minutes to, transcribe one minute of tape or 50 persons one year to do them all. He said the" special prosecutor took up to 250 minutest to transcribe one minute of tape.
