REPUBLIC in survey link Warren with court told By ATHIA L. HARDT A poll tnken in Maricopa County for swindler Ned Warren Sr. indicates 82 per cent of those surveyed recognized his name arid 62 per cent identified him with "dishonesty." a Maricopa County Superior Court judge was told Monday. The testimony was given by Arizona State University professor Bruce Merrill as Warren's attorneys attempted to obtain a change of venue for Warren's trial on 20 charges of grand theft by false pretense. A hearing on the motion before Judge Howard F.

Thompson was continued Monday afternoon after Phoenix News- papers Inc. succeeded in blocking temporarily an attempt to subpoena all articles printed by The Arizona Republic since 1972 about Warren, several of his companies and land fraud in general. The Arizona Supreme Court stayed Thompson's order requiring compliance with the subpoenas until il could hear Phoenix Newspapers' motion to quash the subpoenas on Feb. 8. The newspapers' attorney, James F.

Henderson, contended in a special action filed with the court that the subpoenas are unreasonable, placing "an oppressive and undue burden" on The Republic. THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC (Section B) Page 1 OX Tuesday, Jan. 25, 1977 He also contended that the articles are rfeadily available elsewhere dnd that the subpoenas are an attempt to compel the newspaper at its expense to do Warren's trial preparation work. Removal of the documents from the newspaper would impair its ability to perform and be an unconstitutional infringement of First Amendment rights, he said. In addition, Henderson added in his petition to the court, the demands could not be met in time or without the expenditure of excessive amounts of limfe and money.

Warren is on trial as a result of charges stemming from a 5-year-old land deal between Capital Management Systems, Warren and Arizona English Motors, a firm owned by Valley car dealer Jack Ross. It involves the sale of Arizona land to U.S. servicemen stationed in the Far East. Both criminal charges and a civil suit have been filed, but the civil suit has been postponed until the criminal matter is settled. Ross is a defendant along with Warren and others in the civil suit, but has never been accused of criminal acts in connection with the land deal.

Warren, who has successfully sought changes of venue in three other cases involving him, is seeking to move the trial, contending there has been excessive publicity. Merrill, a professor of political science, who also is a researcher and pollster, testified he was hired by Warren to attempt to determine through a survey what the effect of publicity has been. Merrill said a survey of 628 Maricopa County registered voters chosen as a stratifiea sample found earlier this Continued on Page B-12 Strike possible Mining leader says outlook is grim for mining industry By DON HARRIS A bad economic year and the possibility of a strike were forecast for the copper industry Monday by the head of the Arizona Mining Association. James K. Richardson, testifying before the Arizona House Committee on Natural Resources and Energy, predicted copper production and prices will increase, add- mg to an already large stockpile.

"What is troubling the industry is the multitude of uncertainties that confront it as it enters 1977," Richardson said. "The Paul Dean Redcoats and rebels to revel at truce ball There were polite intermissions to the eight years of the American Revolution. They were called returning to winter quarters, an annual, three-month furlough from bleeding and bayoneting. Redcoats and colonists settled in the neutral corners of Morristown. Valley Forge, Trenton and Manhattan.

They bandaged scars and rebuilt ranks. Except for 1776, when Washington was accused of dirty pool by storming Trenton instead of spending Christmas at home with Martha, both sides forgot winter fighting as an unwritten Geneva Accord endorsed by the League of Gentlemen. And that's how it is 200 years later. The Redcoats, the British 64th Regiment of Foot, Arizona Detachment, have racked their muskets after a year of being reborn losers at Bicentennial replays. The Colonists, the Phoenix Shriners' Continental Infantry Regiment, are standing down for the season, fat and flushed after constant and automatic victories at similar birthday events.

Tomorrow, later this year, they will oil and gear up to battle again at city parades and rural promotions. But today, on Saturday, their only fighting will be over who raises the first toast at the Winter Truce Ball for friends and foes. It will be elegant, true to detail and era, and Barry Lyndon reincarnate at the El Zaribah Shrine Temple. The time being recaptured was way before Edison so the hall will gleam entirely by candlelight. It was also prior to Polaroid so any photographs will be shot by available light on the orders of both military adjutants.

Beef, turkey and ham will be the evening's buffet. The bar may offer token grog, dark navy rum diluted by water and lemon juice. But what better to toast the health, longevity and success of General George Washington and King George III of England? British officers, complete by scarlet frock coats and periwigs, will mark the cards and beg the pleasures of dancing with Virginia misses, replete in quilted bodices and gathered muslin skirts. They will move to the music of Hyden and Mozart, by string quartet, of course. And, if wine and the moment loosen Puritan modesty, some young colonial buck may risk his commission by suggesting a switch to that avant garde, rather risque dance imported from Europe, the waltz.

The majority may harrrumph, blush into their fans, and dance nothing closer or more suggestive than the minuet. That, at least, is the 18th Century intention. It must, however, be tempered by 20th Century realism. Which is the reason for one line written beneath the RSVP reference on official invitations to the ball. "Are you interested in advance ses-' sion(s) for minuet practice.

prospects do not appear to be as bright as they did a year ago." The general feeling among all sections of the industry producers, consumers, speculators and investors is that "the upsurge in the economic recovery seems to have petered out," he said. Businessmen in this country and around the world are uncertain how the U.S. economy will fare under the Carter administration. "Present indications are that the 1977 production of refined copper in the U.S. and the free world will show a substantial gain over the preceding year and consumption will fall again below the output," Richardson said.

"If the present rates of production are sustained without serious interruptions, such as a prolonged strike at U.S. mines by midyear, or difficulties in output or deliveries there is likely to be a continued imbalance between the output and consumption." On the prospects for a labor dispute this summer, Richardson said: "The market place unquestionably anticipates that there will be a strike, but I have yet to see any U.S. producers who want such to occur." Richardson added that even if there is a strike, it probably will not result in a copper shortage because of the world stockpile of 1.8 million tons. The importance of copper to Arizona's economy was explained by Richardson, who said preliminary figures for 197K indicate that 63 per cent of the nation's copper was produced in this state. That compares with 57 per cent in '1975.

Richardson said metal economists are predicting that free-world copper production will exceed consumption in 1977 by about 350,000 tons, "an unpleasant market situation to contemplate." Richardson believes the U.S. price of copper, now holding at 65 cents per pound, may increase to 75 to 80 cents per pound by the end of the year. Parkin Republic Pholo Encaiito Park doesn't attract many people on Monday mornings, and this week was no exception.

6 meetings by councilmen CofC finds Socialist ally in urging sales tax repeal Politics makes strange bedfellows but would you believe the Ph6enix Chamber of Commerce and the Socialist Workers Party? That unexpected coupling surfaced Monday when approximately 175 persons, including at least one socialist, attended six neighborhood meetings hosted by city councilmen. Councilman Bill Donahue led the discussion at Desert Sands Junior High School 6308 W. Campbell. At that meeting, Obey McCarthy, who said he was representing the Arizona Socialist Workers Party, distributed literature. His handbills urged repeal of the city sales tax increase in the Feb.

8 special election. The repeal effort also is actively supported by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. "Yes, our stands are similar," McCarthy said. "But they propose to cut out services" to balance next year's city- budget. "Ours is to cut out giveaways to the rich." Meanwhile, most persons at a meeting in the cufeleria of Senita Elementary School, asked which city services would be reduced if the tax is repealed.

Others offered advice on how the council could trim expenditures. "Why don't you reduce the politician's wages?" one man asked Mayor Joy Carter. Mrs. Carter said she supported the council decision to raise the retail sales tax from 1 to 2 per cent but eliminate the lax on food. "All of the experts said the fairest tax would be an increase in the sales tax" to finance existing services at current levels.

A majority of those who questioned Councilman Ken O'Dell at Desert Cove School, 11020 N. 28th indicated they were against the tax hike. O'Dell I old them that he "never got a single letter in support of the tax increase." Mayor Margaret Hance, substituting for Councilman Amy Worthen, led the neighborhood council meeting at Madison Meadow School, 225 W. Ocotillo. "The time has come for citizens to make a decision: Whether citizens are willing to pay and continue to expand services, or whether they want to cut back on them," she said.

GOP-worker poll proposed on candidates By BERNIE WYNN Republic Political Writer The Republican State Committee will be asked in September to approve at least two state conventions at which precinct committeemen can express their preferences among top candidates seeking public office, it was learned Monday. Jim Spurlock, chairman of the party's Grassroots Candidate Selection Committee, unveiled the plan to hold party conventions in 1978 and 1980 to members of I Phoenix Republican Forum, a weekly luncheon club meeting at the Los Olivos Resort Hotel. The State GOP Executive Committee, which got a preview of the plan last Saturday, will be asked to approve it at the next meeting for submission to the entire stale committee at the regular meeting in September, Spurlock reported. Under the plan, nearly 1,000 precinct workers would gather in Phoenix between April 15 and May 1 in 1978 to express their preferences for candidates for state offices from governor on down, Spurlock explained. Then they would break'up into the four congressional districts to pick their candidates for those offices, he said.

In 1980, the committeemen would stage a repeat performance to pick Continued on Page B-12 Police in Tempe honor officer for role in shoot-out TEMPt, A patrolman who shot and wounded an assailant on a downtown street and a pair of officers who helped solve two robberies in twenty minutes were among city policemen who received awards Monday night. Fifty-eight Tempe officers were honored in banquet ceremonies at the Fiesta Inn, 2100 S. Priest. Patrolman Anthony Canning was given a plaque for his performance in a shoot-out Aug. 28.

The incident occurred at Fifth Street and Mill Avenue when Canning tried to question a man and woman about a killing minutes before. The man, Floyd M. Evans, 36, of 3138 Grand Phoenix, pulled a gun and fired twice at Canning, but missed. The officer returned fire, wounding Evans and a baby he was carrying. Patrolmen Roger Fenton and Gary Lindberg were honored for helping foil two robberies April 5.

The pair were among Tempe officers who responded to a robbery at The Valley National Bank, 4714 S. Rural. While they were working the theft, which was quickly solved, a robbery occurred at a nearby market and the two responded. One of the suspected robbers ran into an alley and began firing at police.

James S. Rausch, new bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, will arrive in the Valley to take charge of his flpck in late March, The Arizona Republic has learned. Bishop Rausch's which is expected to be officially announced this morning from the Roman Catholic Apostolic Delegate's, office in Washington, was made earlier'by Pope Paul VI. The new bishop, succeeds the Most Rev. Edward McCarthy, who left Phoenix in mid-September to become co-adjutir archbishop of Miami, Fla.

Bishop Rausch, 48, has been general secretary of the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) since 1972. "I welcome my appointment by the Holy Father as bishop of Phoenix with gratitude and joy," Bishop Rausch said in a prepared statement. "Grateful as I am fo the opportunity to have served as general secretary of NCCB and USCC, I am happy now to be able to return to a more directly pastoral ministry," he said. "In particular, I rejoice that I shall be serving church in the Diocese of Phoenix.

"The'vitality and dynamism of that diocese traits characteristic of the Southwest generally are, familiar to me and make me look forward.to my ministry there with keen anticipation." "The admirable spirit and organiza- tion of the diocese are tributes to my predecessor, Archbishop McCarthy. I hope that I may be a worthy successor to him." Bishop Rausch said, he plans to collaborate closely with- the priests, deacons, nuns and brothers and lay people in the Phoenix Dioce.se "in the spirit of shared responsibility." "In any- diocese, it is people who are the bishop's greatest resource, and I know that I shall be richly blessed in that regard," the new bishop said. He added: "In view of my appointment to a diocese in the Southwest I am especially glad to have been able to serve" as chairman of the NCCB ad hoc committee for the Spanish-speaking, which has helped sensitize me to the enormous contributions which Hispanic Cattiolics make to the church and also to their special concerns and needs." Bishop Rausch said that ultimately a bishop's success is measured by his ability to give of himself generously and lovingly to others. "It is in this sense that I ask the prayers of all for my success in my new responsibilities," he The Rt. Rev.

Msgr. Bernard L. Gordon, pastor of St. Gregory parish ini Phoenix, has been serving as administrator of the Phoenix Diocese, which encompasses Maricopa, Yavapai, Coconino, Mohave and a portion of Gila counties. "The Holy Father's appointment of one of our nation's most distinguished clergymen as the second bishop of the Diocese of Phoenix is a signal honor," Msgr.

Gordon said in a prepared statement. "It is an acknowledgment of the growing importance of this area as a major center in the United States," he said. Continued on Page B-12 800 county health employes might get raises UW PON'T HDU 6ET BACK ON VOUR SCHOOL BOS ANP 60 HOME LIMU5 ANP I TO ALONE By GLEN LAW Approximately 800 Maricopa County Health Department employes may get pay raises as a result of a study compiled by a salary review committee, William Markey, assistant county manager for health services said Monday. The committee was appointed after some employes participated in a sick-in at the county hospital Dec. 27, to protest' salary inequities.

Markey said licensed nurses, nurses' aides, patient transporters were among the group of approximately 1,000 health department employes.who did not get 5 per cent pay raises granted other county employes by the Maricopa County supervisors Dec. 13. Markey told the supervisors Monday that preliminary details from the committee's study indicate that 5 and 10 per cent raists would be recommended. He said he did not know specific details about who would get raises. Markey said the supervisors created a number of salary inequities among the 2,100 he''lfh department employes when they granted raises for some in December.

il "The unrest was great and I'm not understating, that fact," he said. Markey said the raises, which would cost the county approximately $450,000 to implement for the remainder of the fiscal year, would come from funds budgeted for the health department. Doctors employed at the health department and hospital also were upset at being left off the pay raise list, officials said. Markey said a spokesman for the doctors will make a salary presentation to the supervisors next Monday. He said they are requesting pay raises ranging from 15 to 20 per cent to be implemented by July 1978.

The doctors, who are among the highest paid county employes with annual salaries ranging from $29,286 to $60,860, were granted a 5 per cent raise in August along with 6,000 other county employes. The supervisors also approved a 5 per cent pay raise for community services department employes effective Monday. Officials said the raise will cost the county $27,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year and $64,000 annually. They said these employes were left off the December raise list because they are not on the county merit system. In other matters, the supervisors: Endorsed a bill which has been introduced in the Arizona House to put financing and operation of the county licensing department under state n- trol.

Approved a new fete schedule for county parks and recreation facilities. The schedule includes a $5 to $50 fee increase for private group's use of recreational buildings.
