The Washington-based Center for Science in Ihe Public Interest asked the Federal Trade Commission Sunday to investigate Total's television commercials that it said imply the General Mills cereal is "16 times as nutritious as other cereals." "Total is a total rip-off to the consumer," said Michael Jacobson, CSPI executive director. "Wheaties, another General Mills cereal, is nearly identical to Total, except that it is fortified with smaller amounts of vitamins and minerals." He said it costs only about 8 cents to add the extra nutrients to a 12-ounce box of Total, yet the retail price is about 30 cents higher than that of Wheaties. Jacobson said CSPI calculated consumers paid an extra $194 million for the fortified cereal in and a total million since 1973.

Torquato Now Faces Sentencing PITTSBURGH (UPI) A federal judge has denied post-lrial motions by John R. Torquato, former Democratic chairman of Cambria County, seeking to overturn ms conviction on charges he extorled $80,000 from contractors doing business wilh PennDOT. Torqualo, 70, of Johnstown, who had been Democratic chairman in his home county for 38 years, was convicted by a U.S. District Court jury last June along with two assistant PennDot supervisors on charges of extorting kickbacks from highway contractors belween 1971 and 1976. U.S.

District Judge Maurice B. Cohill Jr. summarily dismissed Torquato's motion for a new trial and a judgment of acquittal. Torquato faces sentencing in the extortion case before he can appal to a higher court. He could receive up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each of 31 counts on which he was convicted.

(UPI) Former Attorney General Elliott Richardson came to the University of Pittsburgh Law School Friday to talk about his role as U.S. Ambassador to the Third U.N. Law of the Sea Conference, but ended up the inevitable questions about Watergate. Richardson, who is best-known for his refusal to Watergate prosecutor lArchibald during the Watergate investigation, away from politics at a press conference, prefering to talk about his efforts to forge an international treaty on ocean resources. Still, when asked if he 'agreed with former President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, Richardson displayed some posl-Walergale candor.

The dapper Boslonian said he did nol approve of former Presidenl Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, but added that he agreed with "the objective bul not the way he did it." Richardson said he had formulated a plan to deal with Nixon's guilt or innocence in the Watergate affair, but did not get a chance to lell Ford aboutit. "I would have completed a full investigation of any crimes the president (Nixon) might have committed, presented the conclusions to the president and received an acknowledgemenl of Ihe charges. "I would Ihen have published the charges with his responses to them, and then declined to prosecute. I think this would have amounted to less than a court pardon." Richardson, who has held three Cabinel-level posts, said he was pleased by "the greater openess that has come about by the post-Watergate climate." Yet 1 he warned that "the whole post-Watergate mentality is creating individuals who are afraid of taking any position that has even a shade of a shade of controversy aboutit." Meeting with both students and press, Richardson spent most of the time fielding pointed questions about the conflict between the industrialized nations arid the Third World over who should control valuable mineral and energy resources buried in the floor of the open seas. Several questions zeroed in on legislation passed by the U.S.

House of Representatives and now pending before the Senate. The legislation would grant licenses starting in 1980 to consortiums conducting fullscale exploration of the seabed. Under the legislation, all other countries would have to recognize the acquired rights of U.S. companies after the licenses are granted. Richardson said the U.S.

would consider no treaty without a such a clause. i Teachers in Cleveland's strike-ridden school district returned lo their classrooms loday and negotiations resumed in Memphis, but 3,900 teachers in Wilmington, walked out' in the nalion's lalesl school slrike. The Memphis slrike is the largest of a series of teachers strikes across the nation that 1 have affected more than 400,000 public schools children in nine states.

Slreei. CHICAGO (UPI) The long, sleek, silver 1979 Cadillac Eldorado cruised up North Michigan Avenue and other drivers gaped in shocked surprise. Behind the wheel of the Cadillac was a man wearing a black hood and a cotton and steel blindfold.

In the passenger seals were Dracula and his bride, Vampira, and Ihree nervous reporlers. The hooded man drove north on Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive for more than three miles from the John Hancock Center lo Ihe Century Shopping Center. The ride on Friday the 13th was a promotion for Ihe March of Dimes Foundation. Driving the Cadillac was Alphonse F. Curatola, 42, an architect with offices in the John Hancock Center.

He drove the car blindfolded to the foundation's Halloween haunted house at the shopping center. Curatola said he made the drive by what he called his "clairvoyance," which he said allows him to detect and "see" objects hidden from his sight. He hopes to have his blind drive put in the Guinness Book of World Records, Before the ride began, his passengers were nervous when Curatola had to be led to the driver's door of his car parked outside the Hancock. He opened all the windows and the sunroof of the car then got onto the busy highway. He had no "close calls" with other cars during the trek and no police escort was set up to clear traffic, although he occasionally asked to be directed by the reporters.

At one point, when a cab driver blasted his horn at the Cadillac, Curatola yelled, you see where you're going?" Curatola said he's been practicing driving blindfolded for 15 years. He once drove a shorter distance blindfolded in Los Angeles, he said. Prime Lending Rate Boosted Citing continued rapid in Ihe rate of inflation, 'ennsylvania banks Friday followed an industry-wide trend in hiking the prime lending rate a quarter point to 10 percent, the highest since January 1975. New York's Chase Manhatlan Bank set off the latest round of increases by hiking its rate Thursday. Pitlsburgh National Bank; First Pennsylvania Bank, Philadelphia's largest; Girard Bank and Fidelity Bank were among those who increased their rate from 9 to 10 percent Friday, effective immediately.

It was the third such hike in a month. On Sept. 29 the rate jumped percent to 9 and on Sept, 15 from to 9'i; percent. The move to 10 percent for the rate banks charge top corporate borrowers is considered a "catch-up" to sharply higher short-term rates thai have increased bank borrowing costs. Pittsburgh National Bank economist Joe Lang attributed the steep rise in the rate to large corporate borrowers, which was percent on Jan.

1, primarily to inflation. "The only way you can really stop this is for government to live a little more prudently, "Lang said. "We're in our fourth year of recovery (from a recession) and Ihe U.S. governmenl is still spending $50 billion more lhan they're taking in," He said the way they're financing the huge deficits is by increasing the money supply, which means more money chasing fewer goods. Another factor is that the banks' cost of money has gone up, Lang said, "so we have to charge more to people we lend money to." He said banks are now having to pay 9'4 percent interest on certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.

"The cost of money is going up, but so far it's not tight," he added. "You can still get it, but it's gelling more expensive." Fortune never smiles on a man just because he expects it. not be held in contempt for ignoring a back-lo-work order. Attendance at the city schools by both the 6,400 leachers and 113,000 students has hovered near the 50 percent mark in the lour school days of the strike, school board figures showed. Teachers in Wilmington scl up their pickets after Hi hours of negoliations.

School officials urged the district's 64,000 students to report lo school but at least 25 of the district's 93 schools were closed. School system spokesman Phil Toman said some leachers were crossing pickel lines, but not enough to keep the schools open. The teachers, who have been negotiating for six months, rejected an offer by the board to conduct a fact- finding project. Elsewhere, the contract for Madison, teachers expired at midnight Sunday but teachers voted to work without a pact and to proceed with binding arbitration. Smaller strikes were reported in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
