Officials respond. "There are no programs on the outside to take care of these people." "My responsibility cannot be carried out unless the public carries out their responsibility reform the criminal justice system." "I can attack the problems of community resistance. I can enlist support to attack those problems.

But there are people in every community giving us trouble establishing work furlough programs. We must have community support." "Why do they send persons to the correctional system who really don't need to be in prison because they are not dangerous?" Until those questions are answered, statements reversed and policies restructured it occurred to me, Ohio's penal system will an institution fostering punishment and neglecting a convict's need to'readjust to societv. When a criminal walks for the first time through the electronically- opened prison doors, he not only loses his constitutional privileges as a citizen, but his innate rights as a human. He is embarassed by tongue- lashings, humiliated by censure and harassed by guards. He enters not a civilized society, but a community where dealing, selective conniving and "snitching" on others is the path to survival.

Cleveland inmates protect themselves from Cincinnati; the weak take sides with the omnipotent guards; the hostile and unfriendly deal in contraband to increase their chances of ever leaving the walls in one piece. The inmate regresses to animal behavior captives stalking about cages, unbathed for days, pouncing ungratefully on those who show any sympathy. The hunted return to be hunters in their own small preserve. He's forced to tear apart food with his teeth rather than use tools invented centuries ago. He usually eats with his fingers without a napkin to clean them.

He's exiled to the solitary "hole" for talking before dinner, during dinner or after dinner, in his cell after lights out or whenever the guard decides there will be "no talking." Through it all, a now-paroled convict who lived most of 12 years behind bars at the pen said "I spent many a night looking out at this corridor wondering if I'd make it and when I'd ever get out." Students at Ohio State University, and for that matter every other school in the state, began relaxing today now that finals, commencements and other events are coming to an end. Sunbathing, with the help of 80 degree weather, seemed to be the popular thing on the OSU campus Friday, even in a cramped area like the front porch of a dormitory. (UPI Telephoto) Sinatra plans comeback but he do it his way From A-l Watergate From A-l Clay Week The remainder of the week's schedule follows: LOS ANGELES (AP) Entertainer Frank Sinatra says he will return to show business after a two-year retirement but "only when I can control the situation." "I'm not going to put myself in the position of facing big, uncontrolled crowds again," the 57-year-old Sinatra told an interviewer. "Too many times I became the victim in such situations, and I'm not going to let that happen again." He plans a television special next fall. The singer-actor-businessman appeared at UCLA Saturday night as master of ceremonies for the annual alumni awards show.

He didn't sing, but he appeared relaxed and mellow. On his return from retirement, Sinatra said: "I kept getting mail from people who wanted to hear me sing again. There was something like 30,000 letters, and many of them sympathized with my desire for privacy. But they suggested that there were ways I could perform again without sacrificing my private life. "I'll record, but I can do that before a small group of friends.

I'll have an audience for the television show, but that can be controlled, too. "Members of my own organization have been trying to convince me to make a return. My family, too. So I decided I would go back to work, but only when I could control the situation," he added. Sinatra last sang before a paid audience on June 13, 1971 a "farewell appearance" at a 50th anniversary gala at the Los Angeles Music Center for the film industry's Relief Fund.

Earlier this year, he sang at a White House dinner for the visiting Italian premier, and President Nixon urged him to come out of retirement. Mrs. Roy Coins MASSILLON Services were held today at 10:30 a.m. in Reed Funeral Home at Canton for Mrs. Roy (Geraldine Coins, 54, of 816 Brown av.

Nixon slates meeting on economic measures WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon scheduled a meeting with his chief economic advisers today to discuss a wide range of inflation-fighting proposals they worked out during the weekend. Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, just returned from Paris, also was to meet with the President to talk about the stalled Indochina negotiations with North Vietnam's Le Due Tho and next week's visit of Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev. Nixon returned Sunday night from a three-day stay in Florida, his face reddened from the sun.

He interspersed work sessions in his study at his Key Biscayne home with rides on friend C.G. "Bebe" Rebozo's houseboat and spent time in the pool. Nixon scheduled a meeting today with George P.

Dole says "I have some questions in my mind" whether President Nixon knew of the Watergate break-in or efforts to cover it up. But Dole, a Republican senator from Kansas, says he will continue to support Nixon until there is hard evidence of any presidential involvement in Watergate. "I have never really lost faith in the President," Dole said in an interview. He faces the possibility of a tough reelection fight next year; the Democratic party in Kansas is trying to link him to the Watergate scandals. He said he has been home nearly every weekend in recent months and finds growing sympathy for Nixon, who, according to Dole, many people believe "is being kicked around." "If you know the players involved, it is conceivable the President had no knowledge of the bugging or coverup," Dole said.

But, he added, "when 1 see all these links daily I have questions in my mind. I'm not different from anybody else." Dole, long one of Nixon's staunchest supporters in the Senate, resigned in January after two years as chairman of the Republican National Committee. 172 N. Ntw 0.

The hijackers "wanted some loot" and apparently weren't politically motivated, says the Nepalese Embassy here. Officials said most of their effort was concentrated in the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which border the mountain kingdom of Nepal, and in West Bengal. The hijackers commandeered the 20-seat Otter Sunday after it left Bi- ratnager in southeastern Nepal, headed for the capital of Katmandu. They ordered it across the border to an emergency airstrip at Forbesganj, about 15 miles from where they took off, the embassy reported.

The embassy said the hijackers were Nepalese nationals. He and current Chairman George Bush repeatedly have sought to divorce the regular Republican party from any hint of involvement in the alleged widespread illegal activities attributed to the Committee for the Reelection of the President and to former White House officials in last year's election campaign. Bush had said he doubts Watergate will have much impact on Republican candidates in the 1974 elections because, he said, the party was in no way involved. Nevertheless, occasional links between the Republican National Committee and alleged espionage activities of Nixon's reelection committee have continued to crop up. "There are hundreds of things to connect the RNC with the Committee to Re-Elect," Dole said.

"No one has claimed that we did not cooperate. But we never cooperated in any espionage." "No national comrnitteeman or comrnitteewoman or party official was involved in Watergate. As far as I know, that's still good," Dole said. Dole said that the national committee, despite efforts to cooperate with the Nixon reelection committee and play an equal role in the campaign, was always subservient. sury; John Dunlop, director ol the Cost of Living Council, and John B.

The three men, along with other economists, held an unusual Saturday meeting to work out proposals said to include a get-tough policy on big business, tighter enforcement of present controls and possibly selective new regulations that might affect gasoline and fuel oil. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren said the President has no immediate plans to announce a new anti-inflation program. Warren added that he does not expect any major economic announcement today.

The poll of 2,356 voters was taken last April and May and indicates the Watergate scandal is hurting GOP election prospects, the Gallup organization said. Morton, who once was Republican national chairman, said the party has been hurt by the scandal, but he predicted it will "snap back" once the guilty parties are tried in court. Morton spoke on CBS' "Face the Bush on NBC's "Meet the Press." There were these other weekend Watergate developments: New York Times and The.

Dean III has told Senate investigators that the White House pressured U.S.

District Court Judge Charles R. Richey to delay "some potentially explosive depositions" in a Watergate civil lawsuit last year. Richey denied that anyone had approached him improperly in the case. "I just don't understand this," he said. "I don't know John Dean from Adam." said Dean claims to have documents suggesting that the President knew of the coverup of the Watergate scandal, and that he said Nixon knew also that a 1971 campaign contribution of $322,000 by the dairy Industry was intended to influence government milk-price supports.

presidential counselor Charles W. Colson was quoted in an interview by The Now York Times as saying ho told Nixon this year that former Ally. Gen. John N. Mitchell had played a role in planning the wiretapping.
