Little attention was paid to her then. Saturday that lass, 18-year-old Cathy Carr became the first person from New Mexico to win an Olympic Games gold medal. And she did it in grand style. Miss Carr stroked to a world record 1 minute, 13.58 seconds to win the Olympic Gold medal in the women's 100-meter breaststroke. The sensational effort by Miss Carr erased the world standard of 1:14.2 set Aug.

Cathy, who graduated from high school last spring, became the favorite for the gold medal when she sped to an Olympic record in semifinals Friday. She the was timed in 1:15.00 to erase the old Games mark of 1:15 fl set eight years ago in Tokyo by ujudica Bjedov of Yugoslavia.

(Photo by Ray Cary) Question Is Raised WASHINGTON Wi-The two top men in the Agriculture Dept. during the Johason administration took jobs having foreign connections after leaving office, but no move was made to investigate possible conflicts of interest. Government sources said Saturday former Agriculture Secretary Orville L.

Freeman "raised eyebrows" among some government officials when he announced on Oct. 3, 19b8 more than three months before leaving office that he would become president of a management service, EDP Technology International, Inc. Federal conflict of interest laws bar a former government official for one year from acting on behalf of foreign interests before agencies formerly under his control. ALSO, FORMER Undersecretary of Agriculture John A. Sehnittker in July 1970 took a special consultant job with the Canadian government, an assignment he said came 18 months after leaving his USDA post.

Actions of at least two former Agriculture Dept. employes who quit this summer to work for the private grain trade in connection with huge grain sales to the Soviet Union were referred last week to the Justice Dept. for investigation. The Agriculture Dept. referred the cases to Justice following letters from a consumer's attorney, Richard A.

Frank of the Center for Law and Social Policy, who raised questions centering en federal conflict of interest laws and regulations. FRANK NAMED former Assistant Secretary Clarence D. Palm by and former head of the Export Marketing Service, Clifford G. Pulvermacher. The two quit their department posts last June, shortly before huge grain sales to the Soviet Union were made public.

The sales, mostly wheat, are estimated to total $1 billion during the first year of transactions. Palmby went to work for Continental Grain and Pulvermacher joined Bunge, Inc. Both firms, based in New York, are engaged in the Russian sales. Freeman, who later quit his job with EDP International, now heads Business International Corp. of New York.

The office said Freeman currently is touring the Far East. SCHNITTKER, a farm economist who taught at Kansas Satate University for a year before taking the Canadian job, now heads his own economic consulting firm here. Most clients are "food and agribusiness" people, he said. The Canadian assignment, Schnittker said in an interview, "had literally nothing to do" with the United States, Specifically, he said the job was with the Canadian Wheat Board and involved a study of Continued on A-S mm n' 11,1 1 it would seem book, however, swept me lana ing 10 nave lo dogs lurk, and as best they can.

BYRD SAID he is concerned that the courts are circumventing state statutes by dismissing a DWI charge "when the proof is evident that he's guilty" just because the defendant completed a six-week school. "Don't get me wrong," Byrd said. "I'm all in favor of the school.

A governor's spokesman said Municipal Judge Harry D. Robins asked the governor to call a meeting of the courts, the Motor Vehicle D.K. Kelly of the Safety Commission, and Albuquerque Police to resolve differences "and a workable solution to an apparently unworkable situation." A day and time for the meeting is to be set by the governor this week. LAST WEDNESDAY, Kelly at a meeting of the Albuquer-que-Bernalillo County Traffic Safety Commission criticized both Magistrate and Municipal courts for sending first-time driving while intoxicated offenders lo a DWI school and then dismissing the charge on completion of the school. He charged this procedure gummed up a computerized records project bv the Motor Vehicle Dept.

(MVD). The courts countered saying attempts to jail DWI offenders and fine them had failed, and they are still on the streets. They claim the school attempts to educate offenders and is operating effectively. A CITY'S Probation Office report on the first year of the DWI school notes that out of 897 persons completing the six-week DWI school, only 24 have been rearrested by police. "We think that's a very good ntage realizing of course that the school has only been in operation one year," said Mike Hanrahan, chief probation officer.

Robins earlier in the week voiced concern that police are arresting drunk drivers and charging them with only DWI, while in Magistrate Court, State Police and sheriffs deputies, also charge the individual with careless or reckless driving. ROBIN'S CONTENDS DWI defendants should be slapped with another charge so that the court can fine the individual giving revenue to the city. At the same time the defendant could receive a break with dismissal of the DWI charge on completion of the school thus he retains his driving privilege Robins also voiced concern that as high as 70 to 80 per cent" of those arrested for DWI are arrested in the Valley areas. "There are as many drunks in the Heights as there are in the Valley," he said. The police, on the other hand, believe the courts want to be "the good guys" by dismissing a charge and yet "hitting" a defendant with a fine "so that they don't come under attack by the community," one police officer said last week.

"I'M NOT ABOUT to give them that satisfaction, and I'm not about to arrest someone on a charge merely because I suspect he must have been careless driving or reckless driving because he's drunk that's nonsense," the officer said. The officer asked not to be identified. Police Chief Donald Byrd Friday said his patrolmen ar On Scout Honor, the Old If 'T rir JULES LOH Bible Is By It still teaches, for example, how to deal with a snakebite and now a ratbite.

They've rewritten the bible. Scout's honor. For the first time in Its 61-year history of publication the official handbook of the Boy Scouts of America has been completely revised. THE NEW version reflects an America short on wilderness if not on innocense, but don't despair. The old posters that said Scouting is fun still hold true.

Indeed, as the new handbook promises in the style that characterizes its tone, "Man, Scouting is a ball." Interesting wildlife to identify along the way: starlings, cockroaches, house mice and pigeons. WHAT IF A city hiker gets lost? Does he break out his Scout compass? Signal with his Scout whistle? Neither. He looks for a cop. And what if he has to. Yes, that is covered too: "Carry an emergency dime with you at all times." Overnight camping in the great outdoors is not quite the same nowadays either.
