I OSU fund nets record COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio State University Development Fund set an all-time record in 1975 by collecting a total of $8,228,995.53 in donations from alumni and friends.

According to Saul Seigel, director of development, the nearly $2.5 million increase over the previous year's effort brought the total to more than $73 million for the 37-year-old fund. Seigel credits the improvement in annual donations to increased aware- ness that Ohio State is not a tax-supported university. "We are a tax-assisted in- ptitution." Seigel emphasized. "Less than half of the operating budget of Ohio State comes from tax monies." Some of the funds received during 1975 accounted for assistance towards research in such areas as breast cancer treatment, which has resulted in development of tests that can deter- jmine the most effective future course for patients, Seigel said. From A-l Double agent was depressed about getting older and sick.

He had lost his memory a couple of times. This is a total shock." Neighbors in the cluster of one- and two-story condominiums in the fashionable retirement community of Heritage Village said Rees was a quiet, friendly man who loved good books and classical music. "He didn't seem depressed." said Eugene Kiernan, who lives across a driveway from the Rees home. Kiernan said he last saw Rees a week ago and "he seemed in excellent spirits." Kiernan added: "The question that comes to my mind is: 'Who blew his He was working for the FBI; did the Russians get onto that or was it the FBI or the Dallas Times Herald?" Rees was semi-retired, friends said. But he continued to travel around the country doing engineering work on a consulting basis, several friends added.

Kiernan said Rees' wife told him the engineer was in Dallas last week but he didn't know why. A neighbor, who asked that his name not be printed, said Mrs. Rees wanted her husband to get rid of the gun he owned. "He told her it didn't have any bullets," the neighbor said. Rees was found with a revolver in his right hand.

No note was found, said Dr. Cox. The Times Herald said Rees asked several times that the story about his past activities not be published or that he not be identified. "We did not feel that we could repress the story," the newspaper said Sunday. It said it interviewed Rees several times last month and traced his information, confirming it with federal agencies.

Rees also submitted to a polygraph test, the paper said. FBI Director Clarence Kelley was quoted as saying the agency knew of Rees' contacts with foreign officials in the U.S. and had interviewed him several times regarding the contact. He said the FBI would make no further comment. Rees' son John was told of his father's death by a neighbor and drove to Southbury to console his mother, who was in another room in the apartment when the shot was fired, authorities "I just told her there's a story in the newspaper and she's acting like it's unreal," he told reporters outside his father's home.

The paper quoted Rees as saying he "was a Communist sympathizer" during World War II when the United States and Russia were allies and began helping the Soviets and "just never got out." "Looking back on it now, it's enough to make me sick." Rees was quoted as saying. The paper quoted an "intelligence source" as saying Rees was "the single most important individual in the development of the Russian oil and gas industry during the relevant period (1945-1960)." As a double agent from 1971 to 1975, Rees met Soviet contacts at FBI instructions, allowing the agency to observe and identify a number of Soviet intelligence officers, the paper quoted him as saying. The story said that after working for Mobil, Rees worked from 1967 to 1971 for the Dallas branch of M.W. Kellogg an international giant in petroleum consulting. The Times Herald also quoted Rees as saying his most significant industrial espionage act was the passing in 1950 of a Mobil design for a newly developed catalytic cracking converter.

He won a Soviet medal lor that, he said. The converter, now standard machinery in the industry, increases the percentage of gasoline that can be derived from crude oil. Women complaints on 'indictable crimes' NEW YORK For the feminists in the audience, it was a familiar catalog of victims: The unwed mother, pressured to give up her child. The battered wife, unable to escape her marriage. The lesbian, badgered by a society willing only to cure or condemn.

The welfare mother, disspirited by poverty. The uninformed patient, victim of unnecessary medical operations. The mother with too many children, unable to find child care. And the aging mother, now rejected by her children. The problems are not new, but during the past weekend, at the first annual Tribunal on Crimes Against Women, they were labeled as "indictable offenses." The session, attended by more than 300 women, was organized by a coalition of New York feminists in conjunction with a similar 24-nation tribunal opening in Brussels Thursday.

Similar tribunals are also scheduled this week in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. Patterned after Bertrand Russell's 1967 tribunal against war crimes, the Manhattan session at Columbia University focused on so-called crimes and indictments that have no standing under the law. "But we want society to realize that these problems arc crimes in themselves," said Judith Friedlander, an anthropology professui at State University of New In many cases, individual worrien offered personal testimony about their own experiences. The principal "indictments" fell in five areas: economic crimes, crimes committed in family, sexual crimes, crimes against womei political prisoners and medical crimes. Themedical "crimes" were the most specific.

The health professions were charged among other things, with failing to inform women about the dangers of some birth control methods, with performing unnecessary operations jsuch as mastectomies and hys- (terectomies when less serious surgery might be in order, and sterilizing poor women who do not fully understand the operation. The public health establishment was accused of failing the poor and the psychotherapeutic establishment of forcing women to adjust to a "criminally oppressive society," The legal system was also denounced for "favoring the rapist rather than the victim" and the patriarchal family system was condemned for exploiting women in a variety of Several women testified about the hardship of the "bastard" brand that they were forced to live with as children because of the social stigma of illegitimacy. Alice Pifer of the NOW Rape Prevention Committee contended that "rape is an everyday issue for women that the power of rape is the power that keeps us in place. We indict all the people that buy into this male system the police, doctors, the media, the courts, the rapists" and even the families who mistreat their relatives who have been victimized by rape. A lesbian leader said that ihe indictments "should not be plea for the righting of but female declaration of war." She added, "We should not wallow in oppression," and denounced thefcjereotypeof the woman as victim.

Although rttafty of the panel members reflected the more radical sentiments of the feminist movement, the opening statement was presented by State Sen. Karen B'urstein who warned against the dangers of overzealous rhetoric and urged harmony within the movement. Referring to her own Long Island constituency, where many women are still seeking more traditional goals, she said, "I come from America, the heart of America." The women there, she said, "are not that different than you just don't know it yet." Among the women attending the tribunal were feminist theoretician Ti- Grace Atkinson, Beulah Sanders, organizer of the Welfare Rights Organization, Daphne Busby of the Sisterhood of Black Single Mothers, and poet Adrienne Rich, who read from her forthcoming book on new attitudes towards motherhood.
