His attorney, James O'Connor, made a fruitless appeal for a suspended sentence, citing what he called Kalmbach's "very distinguished career" in law. O'Connor said Kalmbach's actions were the result of believing White House officials when they told him that none of his activities for them were unlawful. Judge Sirica gave Kalmbach two weeks to put his affairs in order before beginning his term. Kalmbach, 52, testified be- fore the Senate Watergate committee last summer that he raised $220,000 that was ultimately passed to the original defendants in the Watergate break-in. He denied knowing that the money was intended to keep the conspirators quiet about the involvement of higher-ups.

Kalmbach, Newport Beach, had resigned the day he pleaded guilty from the prosperous law firm he helped found. Kalmbach's name surfaced fairly early in the Watergate cover-up probe, but he avoided public comment until testifying before the Senate Watergate your interior as delightfully as we have decorat ed ours!

In October of that year Northwest A i 1 i announced that it was opposed to splitting its operations between two airports and that it opposed the original Ham Lake site the commission was considering. Despite the Minneapolis-based airline's objections, the MAC voted for the Ham Lake Site less than six months later.

Eventually, however, the Metropolitan Council vetoed the Ham Lake site and selected the north search area in Anoka County very close to the Ham Lake Site. Within that area, the MAC was expected to decide where a new airport might be placed.

3 men on the White House staff (John D. Ehrlichman and John L. Dean III) made it absolutely incomprehensible to me that my actions in this regard could have been regarded in any way as improper or 'unethical." But he acknowledged that the money was handled in a rather bizarre, clandestine manner. Exchanges were set up through the use of pseudonyms, pay telephones and "drops." The final deliveries were made by an ex-New York detective, Anthony Ula-sewicz, a man who also worked on other secret political projects. John W.

Dean III, former presidential counsel, testified that on June 29, 1972, he had given Kalmbach a complete briefing on Watergate. Kalmbach said he remembers only being asked to raise the money. Kalmbach said he did so from June through August 1972, when he began to doubt Ehrlichman's assurances that he was doing nothing improper. Kalmbach first met Mr. Nixon in 1964 through former presidential assistant Robert Finch.

Mr. Nixon chose Kalmbach as deputy finance chairman in the 1968 presidential election, a post he held again in 1972. He reportedly raised $15 million during the two campaigns. Until his indictment by a grand jury, he was a partner in the law firm of Kalmbach, DeMarco, Knapp and Chillingworth in Newport Beach. The firm, under Kalmbach's supervision, had handled tax questions and other personal matters for Mr.

Nixon. The specific charges for which he was sentenced involved a Washington-based funding operation in 1970. Kalmbach was accused of raising funds for a political organization which by law was required to have publicly named officers. The operation, allegedly controlled from the White Hruse, raised $2.8 million in pledges for the Committee for Elections in 19 states, according to the special Watergate prosecutor's office. Charles Ruff, assistant prosecutor, said in February that Kalmbach regularly reported to White House staffers but failed to publicly identify them.

Ruff said one of the contributions he turned over to the committee totaled $1,150,000. The second charge against Kalmbach, a misdemeanor, said he promised an ambassador a better job in exchange for a $100,000 contribution, The man was J. Fife Symington ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago from August 1969 through November 1971. Kalmbach pleaded guilty to promising Symington an European ambassadorship at a Sept. 16, 1970, meeting in Los Angeles.

There, familiar landmarks would have guided him back onto course. But Island Lake wasn't where he thought it was, either, so he started conversing with rescue officials in other airplanes officials searching for other lost fishermen and hunters. Cox said there is a chance that the plane, which was not seriously damaged, could be lifted out of area by helicopter.

The five-year-old craft is worth about $20,000, he said. In fact, Cox said, he was conversing too much. Instead of heading back toward Winnipeg, he said, he listened to the advice of others. "It was one of my better mistakes," he said. Finally, with about 10 minutes' fuel left, he decided to land.

Rescue officials said he made a good choice when he picked the bog of muskeg. The plane hit the area tail-first but did not crash and finally came to rest with the low-slung wings resting on top of the muskeg. By this time they were 138 miles southeast of their destination, according to Ken Birch, a Canadian Forces captain who parachuted into the area after the plane as spotted. They had been prepared for a rough landing. They had wedged duffle bags in front of the instrument panel and dashboard to avoid flying glass and cushion the potential impact, but only Judge Amdahl suffered bruises.

Cox had switched off the electricity in case of fire, and the men did see smoke when the plane had stopped. They jumped out but nothing happened, and the rest of the time was spent mostly inside or on the wing. When they traversed the muskeg to get water from the lake, they were disabused of any notion of heading for land. Solid ground was about a mile-a d-a-h a 1 away, they said, and they had sunk in the muskeg to as far as their armpits to get the water. Anyway, they were prepared to spend a while where they were.

They were dressed warmly for fishing, and carried emergency kits. Judge Amdahl had been in an airplane that made a crash landing in northern Minnesota three yars ago. That time, he said yesterday, was worse because he had to walk for several hours with cracked ribs. And they had food. In the hotel room they inventoried several cans of peanuts and soybeans, two cans of potato chips, vitamin pils; candy bars (24 to begin with), and apples.

They were prepared for a longer stay; the food had been rationed and most was left. If that food ran out, there was a pound of frozen smelt brought along for bait; after that, they could use the fishing gear. Such contingency planning was forgotten, how-eve when they were spotted yesterday about noon. Soon they were conversing with Birch and the other rescuers, who said they would call the men's families to assure them that all were safe. A float plane was then borrowed from someone in the area, and by 1 p.m.

they were headed for Winnipeg. They had, they said, spent the hours on the muskeg talking about their chances of being found and trying to radio for help. "And sunbathing and hoping for better days," Cox added. He said, however, "I never really doubted they'd find us. One way or another, even if you don't deserve it, you know you'll get out." They tried to start a fire that rescuers might see, but it had been raining hard when they went down Saturday, and even though it was clear and Island Manitoba Ontario Nekik Lake Canada Winnipeg pleasant Sunday there wasn't enough dry material around to keep a fire going, even with gasoline siphoned from the plane.

Once, some private airplanes flew overhead without seeing them and they were momentarily disheartened. Perhaps, they thought, those were the rescuers and they wouldn't come back. Soon afterwards, though, the rescuers heard their signal, which guided them to the downed airplane. Had they ever thought seriously of death? they were asked. Had their lives flashed before them? Judge Amdahl smiled tolerantly and said no.

One thing he was worried about, he confessed, was that, with two forced landings behind him, "Maybe nobody's going to want to fly with me from now on." "I didn't say that," Pop-ham replied. Back in Minneapolis last night, the men's families were ending long, worried vigils. Mrs. Popham, surrounded by friends and relatives including a sister from Indiana who stayed with her during the search said her biggest fear had been that-the men might have been hurt landing. After that, she said, she was confident they could take care of themselves.

She noted Judge Amdahl's experience as an outdoorsman. Mrs. Amdahl said her thoughts had "run the whole gamut. You just never know." She said she had talked with her husband only briefly last night. "He doesn't believe in long conversations," she said.

Mrs. Amdahl said there would be plenty of time for talk when the judge returns today. One thing she'll tell him, she said, is that "As far as I'm concerned I'd rather have him fly commercial from now on. "He's pushed his luck about as far as he should." Fire Continued from page 1 A they heard a second explosion. "It wasn't as big as the first one," Fitzgerald said.

But there was a second explosion." Fitzgerald said he saw people coming out of the windows and he could hear other people screaming. "I kicked down a door and ran into the ballroom area, but when I got there, the room burst into flames. I could still hear one person screaming but there was nothing I could do." The bodies of the two victims were found about 9 p.m., near an exit in the rear of the building Medical examiners at the scene said immediate identification was impossible. The ballroom complex was the largest building in the Hamel area. The building first opened in 1956 and contained bowling alleys, a ballroom, a number of eating areas and a bar.

Liquor Continued from page 1A that are the same as or lower than prices offered to retailers by state wholesalers who now distribute these brands exclusively. The complex legal case is before Judge Harold Schultz of Ramsey County District Court, who has been asked to bar Minnesota Distillers permanently from obtaining liquor from out-of-state wholesalers.

The firm's opponents in the case are Johnson Brothers Wholesale Liquor St. Paul; Griggs, Cooper St. Paul; and Famous Brands Minneapolis. These three firms, plus Ed Phillips Sons of Minneapolis, control almost 70 percent of the market in the $200 million a year wholesale liquor industry. Last December Judge Schultz issued a decision upholding the constitutionality of a 1973 law intended to end the brand monopolies enjoyed by the state's 10 wholesalers, seven of which handle almost all of the nationally advertised brands.

However, the four plaintiffs in that case including Johnson Brothers and Griggs, Cooper have appealed his decision to the Minnesota Supreme Court and have obtained an order delaying state enforcement of the new law until their appeal is decided. That case is not likely to be heard by the Supreme Court until October or November. A decision by the court is not expected until early 1975. Meanwhile, all of the national distilleries are continuing to honor their exclusive agreements with state wholesalers. Minnesota Distillers, which went into business four years ago, has been limited to importing liquor in bulk, processing it and marketing it under its own labels.

The firm never has been able to purchase any nationally known brands. However, in March, the firm found that it could obtain most popular brands from an Oklahoma City wholesaler who was willing to do business with out-of-state wholesalers. It purchased and gained delivery of a order of Mateus Rose wine and Drambuie liqueur. In April it placed two more orders for purchase totaling $56,900. In addition to Mateus and Drambuie, those orders included Cutty Sark whisky and Fleischmann's Preferred, Canadian Club and Windsor Canadian whiskeys.

Instead, we're going to offer you a free spot removal kit just to try us. All you do is clip this ad and call us for a free estimate. Then, if we clean your carpets, you present this ad for your free kit. Now perhaps the best way to get you to make the call is to tell you what Steamatic is not.

It is a patented systom that literally extracts dirt from carpet fibers. Without harsh detergents. Without scrubbing. And it saves you money by reducing cleaning frequency and helping prolong your carpet's life. Aren't these good enough reasons to try us even if we weron't offering you a helpful kit worth five dollars? Johnson Brothers, which has been the sole distributor of Drambuie in the state, initiated legal action to block Minnesota Distillers from transporting any additional liquor from out-of-state sources into Minnesota.

In the subsequent legal skirmishing, Johnson Brothers has been joined by Griggs, Coopers exclusive distributor of Fleischmann's Preferred, and Famous Brands, exclusive distributor of Mateus and Cutty Sark. Their main contention is that, under the "longstanding rule or practice" of the state Liquor Control Department, Minnesota Distillers must have the permission of the registered owner of a brand the distiller to import its product into the state. Although this "rule" is not contained in the department's written regulations, they argue that the department is obliged to enforce the rule unless it goes through the time-consuming process of holding hearings and amending its regulations. The wholesalers also complain that they will be robbed of sales for products for which they have worked to develop markets within Minnesota. Bernard Dworsky, vice president and sales manager of Griggs, Cooper said in an affidavit filed in the case that he also is concerned that Minnesota Distillers might engage in what he called "footballing" (selling at or below cost) or at a low markup.

Minnesota DUtillers, meanwhile, has contended that no state law or regulation prohibits it from purchasing liquor from a willing seller outside of the state and transporting it here for sale. Terry Clavin, president of the firm, said that the real issue in the case is whether there will be competition within the industry, which he suggested would result in lower prices for retailers and, ultimately, consumers. Clavin said that because of the high degree of competition among wholesalers in Oklahoma, his firm can purchase liquor there, transport it to Minnesota and market it at competitive prices. He said that during the brief period this spring when it appeared his firm would be able to obtain liquor from Oklahoma, his firm advertised the nationally-known brands it intended to market and received $300,000 in orders from state retailers. 5000!
