Cult Leader Preaches Arid Gestures Parole Is Denied To Mass Murderer Manson Argentine Girl Is Miss World THE DAILY NEWS, Huntingdon and Mount Union, November 20, 1978 PAGE 17 VACAVILLE, Calif. (UPI) Raising and dropping his voice like a pulpit-pounding preacher, mass murderer Charles Manson declared in his unsuccessful bid for parole that he would return to the desert if freed from prison. For nearly three hours Thursday, Ivianson, longhaired and clad in prison blues, gestured wildly and preached a disjointed sermon that included excerpts from a Beatles songund his version of why follower Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme tried to assassinate former President Gerald Ford. "1 would go to the desert," the bearded 44-year-old cult leader told the Community Release Board at the California Medical Facility where he is housed when asked what he would do if released. "I've got buckskin' pants and a shirt that will last me 20 years.

I can live on figs and piiie nuts and plants." Manson was wearing buckskin when he was arrested at an arid hideaway in November 1969 for masterminding the slaughter of actress Sharon Tale and eight other persons in Los Angeles. He has been in prison seven years and is eligible for parole under California law. Parole board member Rudy DeLeon said Manson was an unsuitable risk and that the magnitude of his crimes "eclipses the imagination." Flanked by two guards, Manson twiddled his thumbs while DeLeon described him as a "schizophrenic in remission" who should seek psychiatric help. Several times Mftnson agreed, saying, "I don't belong in society." He later added almost wistfully, I'd go off and do what you're doing." But at one point, Manson defended himself when asked 'whether he ordered the Tate-LaBianca murders. "I'll take responsibility but I didn't kill nobody and I didn't order anybody to be killed," he said.

"I'm not your killer, not your executioner, not your devil, not your Jesus. I'm Charles Manson." Manson also defended the Fromme assassination attempt in September saying: "The wdman 1. was with got knocked down, raped, four or five snitches beat her up, blacked her eyes she ended in desperation pointing a gun at the president and saying 'Help, help, can't you see happening here. You're eating yourselves up with this damn dollar bill game and you won't give it up for But for the most part, Manson's thoughts appeared rooted in the turbulent 1960's. At one pbint he broke into the Beatles song "Do it in the Road" and asked, "Why don't we do it in the road? so all the kids raised up and did whaijhe music says." Manson comes up for parole again in one year.

He was convicted in 1971 for ordering his cult followers to commit LONDON (UPI)-Atearful 19-year-old Argentine beauty, who was only a runner-up in her own country, has been chosen Miss World 1978 in a contest full Of old-time ballyhoo. the winner, 5-foot-6 architectural student Silvana Suarez, who said her ambition was "to travel to become a 'complete person," beat the odds Thursday night at London's Royal Albert Hall in winning out over 67 other contestants in the 27th annual contest.

London bookmakers had established Miss Australia, 23-year-old receptionist DeniSe Coward, and the sombrero-waving Miss Mexico, 18-year-old student Martha Eugenia Ortiz Gomez, as the favorites. But the 10 judges, including Argentina's World Cup soccer star Ricardo Vila's, chose Miss Suarez, making what the master of ceremonies called "a momentous decision," amid countless drum rolls.

Miss Suarez, from the city of Cordoba, would not have been in the contest had it not been for a quirk in the rules. She finished second to 16year-old Margarita Susana Heindrycks in the Miss Argentina pageant but Miss World rules state that a contestant must be at least age 17 before contest, begins. As the runner-up, Miss Suarez replaced Miss Hein- drvcks for the London contest. The new Miss World, whose hobbies are classical dancing and writing po'etry, will pick up about $10,000 in cash and modeling contracts worth another $30,000, contest organizers said. The runner-up was Miss Sweden, Ossie Carlsson, a blond, blue-eyed model who is studying to be an artist.

Third prize went to Miss Australia, who said she had become a vegetarian "because I love animals 'too much." United States, 20- year-old makeup artist Debra Jean Freeze of North Carolina, had been listed at 141 odds but failed to survive the cutoff to the final seven -contestants. Miss Suarez 'wept as a glittering tiara was placed on her head but managed a smile as she bowed to the audience. She had said earlier in the program "I've been studying music for 13 years" and in her free time directs a childrens' choir. And despite her beauty, she said "I think the greatest thing on earth is the.spirit." Miss Suarez said later at a black-tie hotel ball that winning the title was "loo good to be true." In the future, she said acting was a possibility but right now "I want to sleep." As for-boy friends, "Nothing serious," said the new Miss World. Oft Panama Pentagon Decision Opposed WASHINGTON (DPI) Despite a top-level determination that U.S.

national security is involved, three legislators are accusing the Pentagon of committing "an apparent illegal act" in releasing $10.9 million for construction in (he Panama Zone. Rep; George Hansen, ll-ldaho. said at a news conference Friday: "I am calling on (Defense) Secretary (Harold) Brown to revoke this decision or I am calling for (his) resignation. "The president is spending money without the approval of Ihe House. It is not appropriate for a single dime to be spent until the House can vole on the issue." he said.

are raising th'e issue as of effort to complicate and possibly block the implementation of the Panama canal treaties. "The canal fight is not over yet. We are nol going to allow millions of taxpayer dollars to be spent in implementing these treaties without a light. And that fight will take place on the floor of the House of Representatives when Congress reconvenes." Symms said. The three legislators said the construction violated the express wish of Congress that no public funds be spent for the canal turnover until both House and Senate have debated the detailed legislation lor implementing the canal treaties.

That debate is expected sometime next year. The Senate ratified the two Panama canal treaties last spring. They provide for the defense of the canal and turnover of the waterway to Panama's control at the end of the 20th century. The gradual turnover process requires relocation of some U.S. facilities located in the Canal Zone.

The Pentagon further argues it is authorized to do so under congressionally authorized lor emergency construction.

Soviets Tested Neutron MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev has told 12 U.S. senators the Soviet Union tested a neutron bomb "many years ago" but decided against producing it. Brezhnev, in a jovial mood, said in a Kremlin meeting Friday he agrees with President Carter that tension has lessened between the two superposvers. But he warned that Moscow would resist attempts to draft a Strategic Arms Limitation agreement "to the detriment of the Soviet Union," according to a transcript of his remarks made available to reporters by the senators. "There is a lot of talk about the neutron bomb," Brezhnev said, the transcript said.

"Many vears ago, our tester tested that bomb. tested but we never started production of that weapon." Brezhnev did not say whether the Soviets had exploded a test neutron device or whether it simply tested the possibilities of the weapon, whjch kills primarily through the release of intense but short-lived radiation. The Soviet Union has always claimed to have the capability to build a neutron bomb but refrained from doing so while mounting a vociferous campaign against the American version of the weapon. American analysts say the neutron bomb would be of less military value to the Soviets than to the Americans and their NATO allies. Designed primarily as a tactical or battlefield weapon, the neutron bomb produces a comparatively small blast effect that would result -in minimal damage to property.

Us proponents argue that it could be used to stop advancing Soviet or Warsaw Pact forces on West European soil in the event of war without causing the destruction that Other tactical nuclear weapons would, The congressional delegation left, today for Budapest, Hungary, ending the week-long tour that took them to Leningrad, Minsk and Moscow.
