STOP NAMING HURRICANES AFTER WOMEN- Miami women's lib advocate Roxcy Bolton talks with National Hurricane Center Director Dr. Robert H. Simpson hoping to stop the use of women's names in designating hurricanes. Mrs. Bolton refers to a 1971 hurricane map showing a close grouping for four feminine names.

Mrs. Bolton says names of United States senators should be used as they delight in having things named for them. (AP Wirephoto) 'Him-icanes' Proposed By 'Lib' Backer MIAMI (AP) Hurricanes should be named after U.S. senators instead of women, a Mami feminist has told a top- level gathering of the nation's weathermen. And Roxcy Bolton says she's rather partial to dubbing the storms "hinvicanes," too.

She says hurricane sounds like "her-icane." "I'm sick and tired of hearing that was no lady as she devastated such and such a or "Betsy annihilated this or said Mrs. Bolton, a former vice president of the National Organization of Women- NOW. "As long as people can name her-icanes after us it's just another way of putting women down." Her proposal to the annual National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hurri- ane season planning conference received a chilly reception Wednesday, but still not the frigid greeting she received when she first broached the idea to the scientific gathering three years ago. Dr. Karl Johannessen, associate director of the National Weather Service, told Mrs.

Bolton that naming the often-dead- ly storms after women was rothing personal. But he balked at her suggestion to name them after senators. "Would you want to cast a slur on TJnited States Senators?" he asked. He then suggested the names of men be used one year, the names of women the next in an alternating system. "Mr.

Johannessen, we've already been 'blessed' for 18 years-- enough is enough," Mrs Bolton countered. Seized Red Boats Agree To Sail To U.S. Port JUNEAU, Aalaska (AP) Two Soviet fishing vessels accused of violating U.S. waters are plowing through Bering Sea pack ice with their Coast Guard escort towards Adak Island and an uncertain reception by federal legal authorities. Coast Guard spokesmen said Russians aboard the 362-foot factory ship Lamut, flagship of an 80-vessel Soviet herring fleet, and the stern trawler Kol- yvan abruptly agreed Wednesday to leave the St.

Matthew Island area after more than a day of delay. Accompanied by the icebreaker Storis, the two Soviet vessels transferred excess crew members to nearby Russian boats and took on water before beginning the 600-mile voyage to the Aleutian Islands naval station. They are due there Friday. Both were taken into custody late Monday by the Storis about miles from St. Matthew, some 200 miles west of the Alaska mainland.

They were accused of conducting illegal fishery support activity within the U.S. 12-mile fishery zone. But G. Kent Edwards, the U.S. attorney for Alaska, said in Anchorage he did not know if the ships and their officers would be charged formally.

Edwards said the Coast Guard had not provided a detailed report of the seizure. CAMPING FISHING HUNTING SPORTING WORK CLOTHES FOOTWEAR COLD WEATHER GEAR MEN'S LINED FIELD JACKET or PEA COAT sR? Waterproof outer shell C.D. Color. Zipper and button front 4 patch pocket front. Drawstring closure.

9 To 5 Nixon Ready To OK Vote Funds Curb WASHINGTON (AP) The White House says the campaign-spending bill, hailed on and off Capitol Hill as heralding an end to secrecy about giving and taking political fash, meets President Nixon's objectives for reform. A few hours after Congress pent the bipartisan compromise legislation to the White House Wednesday, deputy presidential press secretary Gerald L. War-, ren said he expects Nixon will ngn it into law expeditiously. This would mean America would have the first presidential-campaign spending limit in its history, new political-financing disclosure rules covering all federal office seekers, and the most sweeping election reform law in half a century. It would end "the short, unhappy life of the TV blitz," said Russell Hemenway, head of the reform-seeking National Committee for an Effective Congress, and would be "a crucial first step toward cleansing politics of the secrecy, duplicity and special interest influence which has sown widespread cynicism and doubt among the American people." Reform advocates on both sides of the House's political aisle rose to applaud the goals of the Senate-approved compromise Wednesday.

Then the congressmen jjassed it 334-19. Under the bill's media-spending formula, a presidential candidate's radio-TV budget this fall would be restricted to $8.4 million- representing a six-cent broadcast advertising share of each dime that the bill would allow for electronic, newspaper, magazine and outdoor ads and paid telephone campaigns. The all-media spending ceiling would be 10 cents per potential voter-- nationwide for the presidency, statewide for the Senate and districtwide for the House. There would be no over-all limit imposed on a candidate's total campaign spending. The legislation would cover, instead, what are considered to be the most expensive and enforceable categories.

THE Frederick, Maryland Page Thursday. January 20, 1972 'Broe' Democratic Party Maps Newspaper Ad Appeal WASHINGTON (AP) A full-page ad declaring "the Democratic party is just about broke" and appealing for funds to "help assure you of a choice of candidates in 1972" will greet newspaper readers in about 10 cities in early February. The ads are the first step in a double-barreled fund-raising campaign being mapped by Democratic party leaders here to start paying off their million 1968 debt and begin building a fund to finance the 1972 race. The second step: Fund-raising appeals for "the party of your choice" to be sent with telephone and other bills, provided those businesses go along. The new campaign, unveiled in an interview by Treasurer Robert S.

Strauss of the Democratic National Committee, is the party's answer to congressional rejection of the plan to each major party $20.8 million through a $l-per-taxpayer checkoff on income tax returns. The newspaper ads, planned for New. York, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Washington, Louisville and some smaller cities, will cost about $45,000. Strauss hopes they'll at least recover the cost and provide a list of contributors who can be reached again in the fall.

The ads carry the notice that the new campaign-financing bill, which cleared the House Wednesday, provides up to a credit or a $50-per-person tax deduction for political contributions. As for the plan to put bipartisan fund-raising appeals into the envelopes in which Americans receive phone or credit- card bills, Strauss said he discussed it with representatives of American Telephone Telegraph Co. and a major oil company. "They haven't said 'no' yet," he said. Strauss said that since he became party treasurer in March 1970, the national committee has paid all its regular bills.

But it still has to contend with tha 1968 debt and the stockpiling of funds for the 1972 ampaign. One of the major items in the debt is nearly $1.5 million owed ATT and its subsidiaries for phone service. Strauss said a telephone company official visited him this week asking for a plan for payment of that debt plus payments in advance -for phone service at the party's July nominating convention in Mami Beach. puts it oil together with new Super Suit A fantastic valut at only 4.95 never seen anything like it before!
