County host to Japanese youngsters Ten Japanese students and their tutor- chaperone are staying with 11 Lake and Mendocino County families for three weeks as part of an International Exchange program in cooperation with 4-H clubs in this country. The children, ranging in age from 11-16, are participants in a non-profit Japanese program called Labo-Cen. The Labo Party program involves groups of children who meet once a week with a tutor to learn foreign language and derive a better understanding of people throughout the world. The system utilizes a unique approach, combining an electronic taping machine and dramatic presentations. There are 400 children and 125 adults staying in 4-H homes in the Western United States this summer.

The children staying in this area were picked up at the University of California at Davis last Friday, and will remain here until Aug. 17. They will then take a tour of points of interest in the state for one week prior to returning to Japan. Hosting families in this area, and the students staying with them, are: Ernie and Clara Butow of Redwood Valley, guest Mrs. Yoko Kamata, the tutor; and Mrs.

Early consfrucfion seen Task Force okeys rehab center funds An application for over $1 million in federal flinds for construction of a minimum secui-ity rehabilitation center by the county was unanimously approved yesterday in Sacramento by the California Council on Criminal Justice's Corrections Task Force.

Sheriff Reno Bartolomie and Supervisor Ernie Banker attended the task force session yesterday morning, and made the county's pitch for funds under the federally-sponsored Omnibus Crime Act. Bartolomie indicated the approval assures granting of the funds even though the application must still go to CCCJ as a whole for the "official" go-ahead. The $1,030,000 in funds represents 75 per cent of the cost of for the rehab center, the remaining 25 per cent, or $325,000, to come from the county. Bartolomie indicated he will file the papers for approval with CCCJ within 30 days, and construction on the center could start as soon as six months provided the board of supervisors gives its approval. The sheriff began work on the rehab center idea nearly three years ago, initially on a regional concept basis.

However, neighboring counties were not responsive to the idea, and a cutdown version was submitted here for approval by the board. i A resolution of intent to provide the 25 cent matching funds was passed by the board July 2, clearing the way for application for federal funds. The rehab facility, tentatively planned for construction on Low Gap Road west of the existing county property, would provide housing for 96 misdemeanor offenders in two-48 unit buildings, each divided into eight, six-man cubicles. Recreation facilities, a feature mandated by state law but not provided in the current third floor courthouse jail facility because of space limitations, would be provided, and the center would allow for a work furlough program so residents could retain their jobs and help defray the cost of their upkeep. Plans call for eventual relocation of the sheriff's administration offices at the center, and construction of a maximum security felon unit to complete the move from the courthouse.

The center also allows for expanded storage and laboratory space. 1 A preliminary budget prepared by county staff indicates it will cost about $325,000 annually to operate the facihty. This figure would not be a total addition to the county budget as some of the personnel and services currently at the third floor jail would be transferred. The board is still grappling with the problem of coming up with its share of the construction cost should it. decide to approve the center.

A two-year tax increase a bond issue, or seeking a loan from the retirement fund are among the methods discussed. Mendocino County is the only county to apply for federal funds in California for a rehabilitation center. Other counties, including Humboldt, have been contemplating construction of a similar facility, but have not actually applied for study funds. Bartolomie indicated it would take about 90 days after of the grant by CCCJ until the time the architect could begin work on the final plans, and the county could prepare to go to bid on the project. All of this, however, is contingent upon the board's decision to continue.

Weicker denounces Prospect of strife delighted Haldeman WASHINGTON (UPI) H. R. Haldeman wrote "good" and "great" next to notations on a memo saying violent and extremely obscene demonstrations could be expected when President Nixon and the Rev. Billy Graham appeared at a rally in Charlotte, N.C., in October, 1971. Sen.

Lowell P. Weicker, produced the mertio at today's Senate Watergate hearing and said it showed that the Nixon White House welcomed demonstrations against the President because of the backlash that could result. He denounced that "mentality." Weicker also produced another memo, from Haldeman, the former chief of staff at the 'White House, to John W. Dean III, the former White House counsel. Dated Feb.

10, 1973, it said, "We need to get our people to put out the story" of how "foreign and Communist money" had paid for demonstrations supporting the peace movement and Sen. George S. McGovern, Nixon's 1972 opponent. Haldeman said Weicker had distorted the meaning of the two documents. Haldeman, appearing somber, acknowledged that he had written "good" next to the sentence saying that the Oct.

15, 1971 rally "will be violent" and "great" next to the notation that the violence and obscenity also would be directed against Graham, a close fmend of Nixon. Haldeman said pleased be6ause the violence would show such demonstrations were not casual, minor. yoii-Qie- cuff" events. He said reporters were portraying them as unimportant. "The reason for reacting to the indication that they would be violent, obscene and directed toward Billy Graham as was if in fact they were going to do this in this way, it would be seen (by the public) that they were doing so, clearly." Fees plan before city council Ukiah's city council chambers, filled two weeks ago with citizens protesting renewal of a lease of the old sewer farm trap shooting range, are likely to be well- populated with concerned contractors when the council meets tonight at 8.

Three items of particular interest to contractors and directly or indirectly homeowners, are introductions of ordinances providing for: (1) of capital improvement fees in new construction. (2) fees for connection of plumbing to sanitary sewer system. (3) Establishing fees for water transmission, storage and production and treatment facilities. Contractors are expected to protest the new increased fees on the grounds that they will have an effect on future increased costs of home construction which will affect future home or business construction costs. Resolutions revising schedules of water rates and sewer service charges, also will be considered by the council tonight.

The council also may set Aug. 15 as the date in which it will conduct a hearing on the trap shooting range controversy. Lawmaker asks impeachment WASHINGTON (UPI) A Massachusetts congressman on the White House "enemies list" has introduced a resolution calling for the inipeachment of President Nixon. Rep. Robert F.

Drinan, a Jesuit priest, said in introducing thfe resolution Tuesday that "I have come to the point where I must follow my convictions and my conscience and recommend that the House of Representatives pursue its duty under Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution which provides for the peachment of the President." House Democratic leader Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill, also from Massachusetts, described Drinin as "an outspoken liberal and well-known anti-Nixonite" and said he was "the worst person in the House to take such an action." Drinin said four recent disclosures alone justify impeachment, but the one that pushed him over the brink to introduction of his resolution was the revelation that Nixon "conducted a totally secret air war in Cambodia for 14 months prior to April 30, 1970." On that date, Drinan said, Nixon told the American people that for the previous five years the United States had "scrupulously" observed Cambodia's neutrality "with the full knowledge that he personally ordered thousands of B52 air raids over Cambodia" during that time. Other Nixon matters which justify impeachment apart from the Watergate break-in, Drinan said, "include taping White House conversations without the knowledge of participants, impounding money appropriated by Congress for various programs, and establishing a national police force accountable only to himself." Drinan quickly picked up praise for his resolution although he admitted in an interview with UPI that his colleagues were reluctant to endorse it. He said they favored waiting for a conclusion of the Senate Watergate hearings. "But only the House has jurisdiction" in an impeachment proceeding, he said and pointed out "the Watergate committee can't get into the question of impeachment." Most of the House members who shared his viewpoint settled for measures calling for a committee of inquiry to look into the possibility of impeachment.

"I'm inclined to think a number of them agree with it (his resolution) somehow," Drinan said. One of those was Rep. Paul N. "Pete" McCloskey, who said he hoped the resolution "will result in a commencement of investigation by (the House Judiciary) committee leading to referral to the House." Drinan's resolution appeared, however, to have little favor in the Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred, or with the House Democratic leadership. Drinan could have taken a faster route and avoided the Judiciary Cpmmittee by standing on the House floor and demanding an immediate vote on impeachment.

But, as Weicker appeared to interpret it, another paragraph in the memo indicated that the demonstrations were used for political advantage. It said: "The feeling is that the press corps, especially the liberals, is very much aware of how the demonstrators are being handled, and although the White House has not been identified with these processes, we are very much suspect. (White House speech writer Patrick) Buchanan maintains that they will be (on) the lookout for demonstrators and how they are being handled and it is his feeling that this could be extremely damaging to the President's posture, even if the White House is only indirectly involved." The second memo, from Haldeman to Dean, started: "We need to get our people to put out the story on the foreign or Communist money that was used in support of demonstrations against the President in 1972. We should tie all 1972 demonstrations to McGovem and thus to the Democrats as part of the peace movement." Weicker asked Haldeman what that meant. "This was to determine the facts and get out the story with the objective of tying those demonstrations to those who were responsible for them," Haldeman said.

He insisted he did not want the story put out unless it was sustained by the facts. Weicker disputed that. "This isn't a request for an investigation of these facts, this is to put out the story," he said. "Is it your job before you issue the memorandum to make sure that it either is or Is not the case?" Weicker demanded, his voice angry. "Isn't that what this country's about?" "That's why the memorandum was directed to the counsel to the President (Dean), who had the facts as 1 understood it on this case," Haldeman replied.

Weicker expressed outrage. "This type of business here, when it emanates from the highest councils in the land, I think is a disgrace," he said. And I think that the fact this (memo) is (dated) Feb. 10,1973,1 don't think there's been any change in tactics from the election campaign of 1972 to when you sit before this committee right now, Mr. Haldeman" Committee Chairman Sam J.

Ervin Jr. said he attended the 1971 rally honoring Billy Graham and it was "orderly." By coincidence, U.S. District Judge James B. McMillan in Charlotte, ruled Tuesday on a lawsuit filed by 14 young people who had been barred by the Secret Service from attending the rally. Panic buyers hoard meat across country United Press International Major wholesale beef suppliers in New York City followed a national trend and closed for the day today because of a shortage of beef.

Elsewhere thousands of meat packers were out of work as the shortage spread across the country. Panic buyers hoarded meat in home freezers, meat distributors reported they were sold out by Tuesday, butchers turned away even the White House was turned down by its beef supplier. The American consumer was faced with prospects of eliminating from family menus hamburger, steak, meatloaf, meatballs and roast eating instead cheese, pork, fish, poultry and lamb chops. One agricultural expert said the nation's big cities will "suffer like hell." The nation's biggest city appeared to be already suffering. The major wholesale suppliers of beef to New York supermarkets closed today because "the remaining supplies of beef did not warrant a five-day operation," according to the Greater New York Association of Meat and Poultry Dealers.

President of the association Alfred Mayer said beef supplies were "less than half of normal and dwindling." By Tuesday, the shortage of beef still centered mostly in the processing, distributing, and wholesaling end of the business several spots around the nation reported the shortage had already hit the supermarket. In New Jersey, "beef is almost nonexistent at this point," according to Gerald Gilligan, director of the meat Uhr named inspector A 48-year-old district representative with the state's Division of Codes and Standards has been hired as county building inspector. Donald P. Uhr was one of three candidates interviewed yesterday by the board of supervisors, and one of 13 persons who applied for the job. Uhr replaces F.J.

Van Arsdale, who resigned May 14. In addition to holding building inspector positions with Petaluma and Sonoma County, Uhr worked as a training technician for the National Guard for four years, and has been a member for 23 years. He is a World War II veteran, having served three years in the Navy. A native Nebraskan, he graduated from high school there and majored in business administration at Santa Rosa Junior College. Uhr went to work for the state after serving as chief building inspector in Petaluma from 1970-72.

He will assume his duties here Aug. 20. division of the Wakefern Food a statewide group of grocery stores. "We are in dire straits for beef." In Baltimore, Paul Diamond, the head buyer for 10 Food-A-Rama supermarkets, said beef supplies are 40 per cent of normal. In Detroit, Edward Deeb, chief oi the Associated Food Dealers of Michigan said the shortage to grocery shoppers was already serious and would get critica' within a week.

Deeb urged President Nixon to lift the retail price freeze on beef before Sept. 12, the date announced in the President's Phase IV economic plan. Ranchers and beef packers have complained that with all other costs rising, the fixed grocery store price of meat keeps them from passing inflation on to the consumer, and means they can no longer make a profit. Iowa Gov. Robert D.

Ray said 3,000 persons in his state have lost their jobs because of "complex problems that have developed in the nation's food chain and meat supply situation." He joined the meat industry in asking Nixon to lift the ceiling on retail beef prices. Safeway announced it has laid off 79 meat wrappers in San Francisco area because of diminishing supplies. Earlier, 85 meat cutters at Safeway's Richmond, plant were laid off. Hormel shut down beef slaughtering operations in its Austin, packing plant for the week and curtailed operations at plants in South Dakota and Nebraska. In Wisconsin, the Peck Meat Packing Co.

closed its plant at Menominee, and said it planned to shut down two other plants later this week in Milwaukee and Gibbon, Neb. In Washington, businessman Bernard Goldstein, who has been a supplier of beef to the White House for 16 years, said Tuesday he turned down an order from the executive mansion's staff mess for 15 pounds of filet mignon and New York strip steak. Goldstein said Nixon should not order the finest beef for himself since it was his action that caused the shortage.
