Kauffman, director of the state Selective Service office, a combined total of 40 draft evaders and deserters have been referred to him as program participants.

He has located 22 jobs for them, but only eight are still working. "They all were sent to work, but they either quit or declined to participate," Kauffman said. Two of the evaders who signed up with the Recon- ciliation Service Program elected to work in an approved public service job in Maryland, while the third is currently working in Massachusetts, Feige said. One of the three evaders is serving 10 months alternative service, another 18 months and the third must work for the next 24 months, he ad- ded. a a said program officials had originally hoped the men would make their own i a possibilities.

PSC Chairman Robert L. Sullivan Jr.

said the com- mission is beginning a public relations campaign to urge customers to conserve natural gas.

A I (AP)--Maryland's first mental retardation center on Eastern Shore opened its doors to full-time residents Tuesday. The new facility, known as Holly Center, is located on a 75- acre site here and is designed to serve the entire Eastern Shore, according to Maryland Health Secretary Neil Solomon.

"The center's primary focus will be not only to provide the residential care needed by the retarded," Solomon explained, "but also the preparation of the retarded persons for eventual return to the community or to make them better able to" live in residential centers." The health secretary also noted that Eastern Shore residents now being served in other residential centers can be brought closer to their families now that Holly Center is operational.

Novotny was replaced by the liberal Alexander Dubcek in January 1968.

He resigned his post as Czech president, which he held for 11 years, two months later. In May he was swept from his Central Committee post, his last hold on power. Soviet-led troops invaded Czechoslovakia in August 1968 to stop the Dubek liberalization drive, but it was too late to help Novolny. Novotny joined the Com- munist wing of the Social Democratic party in 1921 and rose steadily in party ranks. In 1935 he attended the seventh Comintern Congress in Moscow and returned to become editor of a regional party newspaper.

1975 Void in sUtes by law! Open only to licensed dmevi Is old or older. Dodge Ji, Frostburg Auto Inc. 114 W. Main Street Frostburg, Maryland OCEAN CITY (AP)-The police chief of this resort town has recommended adding 13 more full-time policemen after releasing a report that shows major crimes increased 168 per cent over the last four years. Police Chief Lee Duggan said the city's rapid 'growth and expanding summer population were the main reasons for the increased criminal activity.

While (he population has nearly double, he added, police manpower has increased only 30 per cent. Between 1970 and 1974, Duggan said, assauls rose from less than 20 to 175 annually, robberies from 0 to 6, and rapes from 1 to 9 yearly. Larcenies reporcdly rose from 550 to 750 annually between 1970 and 1973, then fell off slightly in 1974, while burglaries and breaking and entering rose from 140 in 1970 to 275 in 1974. Increased levels of traffic a also added to the workload, with accidenls rising 42 per cent in the period, the police chief said. The addition of 13 more patrolmen to the current full- time force of 37 would not only improve year-round service, Duggan said, but would also mean better supervision of the approximately 100 policemen hired each year for the vacation season.

Student Criticized A I (AP)--Although there has not even been a hint of impropriety, an extracurricular program for teaching business skills to students at a private prep school here has drawn op- position from the editor of the school newspaper. "Oilman School is not the place to promote capitalism and profit incentives for the students," Kevin B. Kamenetz said in a signed editorial in the latest issue of The Oilman News. Kamenetz was referring to the Oilman Student which sells hot dogs, soft drinks and occasionally programs at campus athleticvents. Student members- of the company divide half of the profits-if there are any-at the end of the school year.

The other half goes to the school. "To promote the Idea of students receiving money is unfair," the 17-year-old editor, wrote, noting that students volunteer for school main- tenance work and such ac- tivities as the newspaper and the annual campus "circus." "I support capitalistic ven- tures outside in the business world," Kamenetz said in an interview. "But kids will learn how to make money soon enough" without practicing 'at Oilman. The students in the company, however, do 'not consider themselves capitalists. By LOUISE COOK Auoeiatod PKM Writer China's cancellation of the purchase of more than 22 million bushels of wheat from a U.S.

company may mean a little more grain available at home, but experts say it won't lower the price of a loaf of bread. The Chinese action did cause The Chinese action did cause a decline in the price of wheat on commodity exchanges late Monday and early Tuesday. Wheat futures contracts providing for delivery at a later date dropped by between four and seven cents in early commodity trading on Tuesday. A bushel of wheat for March delivery cost S3.85, compared to $3.90 at the close of business on Monday and S4.04 on Friday. Prices of wheat generally have been declining because of reports of good harvests in the Uniled States and some areas overseas.

An industry source said, "The price of wheat really doesn't have very much to do with the price of bread. There are too many other factors involved." "Canceling the wheat con- tract doesn't mean very much for the American consumer," said Agriculture Secretary Earl -L. Bute. "If you take all the wheat out of a one-pound load of bread (hat sells for 40 cents, you re only taking away about five cents." a Agriculture figures showed that in 1973 the last full year for which statistics are available the average retail price of a one-pound loaf of bread was 27.6 cents. Of that amount, only 4.1 cents or about 15 per cent was wheat.

Milling the wheat, transporting the flour to (he bakery, baking the bread and selling it accounted for the other 23.5 cents. Prices have gone up since 1973, but the A i Department says middlemen wholesalers and retailers got most of the increase. The farm value of the government's marketbasket increased 4.7 per cent in 1974, while the amount that went to middlemen went up 21.5 per cent. The cancellation involves about two-thirds of U.S. wheat scheduled for shipment to China through mid-1976.

The contracts were drawn up last year, when wheat prices were about $5 a bushel. Cook Industries Inc. of Memphis, which was selling the wheat, said the Chinese gave no reason for their action. Richard E. Bell, deputy a i a a agriculture, said a beller-than- expected Chinese a probably factor in the' decision.

Exchange Again Resounds With Record-Making Sales NEW YORK (AP) The stock market resounded with activity again Tuesday, but the sharp rise of the previous session was blunted by profit taking. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials, up about 6 points in wildly active trading at the outset, finished with a 2.11 gain of 694.77. It was, nevertheless, the fifth advance in a row for the average, and brought its rise since last Tuesday to 52.87 points.

New York Stock Exchange volume totaled 31.76 million shares, second in exchange history only to Monday's 32.13- million figure.

But the dominant force shifted over during the day to profit taking and short selling the sale of borrowed shares in expectation of price declines by -traders apparently con- vinced that the market had gone too far too fast.
