43 2 Thursday, May 13, 1976 Green Bay Press-Gazette Hostage Held, Then Released A man identified by police as Edward K. Byrne holds a gun to the head of Irene 1 Razz at left, Wednesday, as he holds police at bay in East Greenbush, N.Y. At right, Byrne holds the hand of the hostage, identified as Probe Leader Intervened in Resort Deal DENVER (AP) Sen. Floyd Haskell, whose Senate subcommittee is investigating Howard H. Callaway's allegedly improper role in a ski resort case, intervened on behalf of a proposed winter sports development, government Haskell, who says he had no financial interest of his own in the project, asked the Forest Service in a 1973 letter to "evaluate the project's potential and determine its economic stability and viability." The letter, written to the head of the U.S.

Forest Service, John McGuire, asked that the land not be designated as a wilderness area if the agency was "convinced of the project's worth." The 6,600 acres involved, part of land under study for the wilderness designation, figure in plans by a Skokie, developer to build a ski area on San Juan National Forest land in Colorado. "I would like to request that you give serious consideration to deleting an in Archuleta County, Colorado, from your Final Environmental Statement which lists Roadless and Undeveloped Areas to be considered for possible wilderness designation," Haskell wrote. Speaking from his Washington office Wednesday night, Haskell said the letter was "routine" and denied it was to exert political pressure on the Forest Service. "I think this is normal procedure. If in a person's state somebody wants to put in a project that benefits the citizens of a locality, obviously the elected representative asks the agency to take a good, careful look at it." Haskell said he recommended to the Forest Service that it examine the proposed ski area.

Final action on the matter is pending. "I would do this all over if a similar situation arose, he said. Haskell was scheduled to resume his Senate subcommittee hearings today into dealings that Callaway, former head of President Ford's campaign committee, had with the Forest Service and its parent agency, the Agriculture Department. Callaway is alleged to have tried to use his influence in his former post as Army secretary to win government permission for the expansion of the Crested Butte Ski Area, in which he holds a controlling interest.

73 Washington, D.C. 69 Wausau 66 47 Butz Would Deny Strikers Food Stamps WASHINGTON (AP) Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz said today that strikers "who voluntarily walk off good jobs" and students "whose parents ride around in Oldsmobiles" should not be eligible for food stamps. Questioned on the NBC "Today" television program, 1 Butz insisted the government will not remove working poor" when it eliminates 5 million persons from participation in the food stamp program. Discussing new regulations for the $6 billion-a-year federal program, he said 24 per cent of those benefiting from it would receive more aid under the rules slated to take effect June 1. He noted, however, it might be difficult to meet that target date for planned reforms.

Letting the strikers get food stamps means "we're taking sides" in labor disputes, he argued. He also objected to students receiving food stamps while studying, even though their parents had sufficient income to support them. Butz said food stamp eligibility requirement "reforms are badly needed and overdue" and he blamed what he called the "hunger lobby" for congressional action delaying changes. He said the Ford Administration was "firmly committed to feeding the but he said he would recommend a veto if Congress should come up with unacceptable legislation. Only about 6 per cent of all the food stamp recipients rea ceive aid in just that category, Butz said, calling for an end to duplications of federal help.

He said it was. "possible for youngsters to free meals a day" because of duplication in aid programs. He also stated, "We mustn't encourage people to take food stamps instead of jobs." Eligibility for the food stamp program includes persons "way above the poverty level," he added.

LAWN FOOD 23-7-7 4.57 Ford Seeks By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS President Ford says victory in Michigan is a must in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, and he's asking his home-state voters for more than a comeback against Ronald Reagan. He wants a mandate. Challenger Reagan is taking over the Michigan GOP stage with a night and day of campaigning beginning in Kalamazoo tonight. Ford spent hours in a crowd-pulling hunt for votes in Detroit and its suburbs on Wednesday, returning to Washington late Wednesday night.

He'll be back in Michigan for the weekend. His stepped-up campaign itinerary he had planned only one Michigan trip was evidence of the Ford camp's concern at a campaign pattern that has seen Reagan win Mandate in five of the last six primaries. "We knew that May would be the most vulnerable time," Ford said in Detroit. Despite Reagan's lead in GOP delegate commitments, Ford said "we are in pretty good shape" with uncommitted delegates. "But we can't rest on our oars," he said.

"We have to win in a state like Michigan, we have to do well in Maryland and we have to do well in some of the other primary Through a long day of speechmaking and handshaking, Ford sounded over and over his theme of prosperity, peace and trust. He said he brought those hallmarks to a government shaken by Watergate when he took over from the resigned Richard M. Nixon on Aug. 9, 1974. The turnout in Birmingham was estimated by police at Michigan more than 10,000 people, and there was another big crowd at the Roseville shopping mall, in an area that supplied a crop of votes for Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace when won Michigan's Democratic primary four years ago. Wallace is entered again, but has lost his punch in the Democratic primaries and Ford strategists are afraid conservative Democrats may decide to cross into the GOP primary to vote for Reagan. Ford made a point of saying that he wants crossover votes, too. "I want every person in of Michigan who identifies himself with.

my political philosophy, who believes in the program that I've outlined of prosperity, peace and trust, to vote whether they call themselves Republicans, Democrats or Independents."

Doctors Fight Lawsuit Abuses CINCINNATI (AP) Dis- turbed by the increasing number of malpractice suits, the policy-making assembly of Ohio's State Medical Association's is suggesting to combat "baseless and frivolous malpractice suits." OSMA's 3,000 delegates have voted to seek legislation to allow physicians to file countersuits "for damages for abuse of the process" of malpractice litigation. Army Moving Critic From West Point WEST POINT, N.Y.

(AP) An Army lawyer who recently criticized alleged abuse of the honor system the United States Military Academy says he is being transferred from West Point. "Career management called me up and told me what spots were open. That's pretty much the way you're said Capt. Arthur Lincoln in a telephone interview from his home near the academy. He said his transfer comes shortly after he had been granted a year's extension of West Point duty, which he requested after finishing a normal threeyear tour at the academy.

Lincoln was one of 10 Army attorneys who last week wrote a letter to Army Secretary Martin Hoffman asking for a probe into the way the 174- year-old academy was handling an investigation of a cheating scandal involving at least 49 cadets, all juniors. Lincoln also had successfully defended a plebe against what appeared to be a campaign of harassment following the plebe's acquittal for allegedly violating the academy's code of honor. The code dictates a cadet will not lie, cheat or steal. Lincoln said it would be "more likely" that his transfer had to do with his connection to the plebe than his signing the letter to Hoffman. "I was only one of 10 who signed the letter and I don't think the others have been reassigned," Lincoln said.

Predicts Win TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Alf M. Landon says he still believes President Ford will win the Republican presidential nomination on the first ballot at this summer's GOP National Convention.
