James Smash. Mrs. Jimmy Bradford is ticket chairman and Marie Pace is co-chairman. Tickets may be obtained at Gus Kaplan in the Mall and in Mac Arthur Village, the Guaranty Bank, KALB-TV and The Town Talk. Most churches in the area have tickets.

But the intent of Congress, as interpreted by staff members of the House Armed Services Committee, is to make moves only when Navy can prove it will save money or at least not incur additional costs. In the past, Navy and other military units have made moves to please important members of Congress and then come back and demanded additional funds to construct facilities to house workers in new sites. Unless the Pentagon can be persuaded to await the GAO report, all signs point to a decision to move, with the first 60-day notices going to workers by June. Navy officials insist, as they have all along, that no final decision has been made over Suitland vs. Bay St.

Louis. But they have sent out questionnaires to employes asking what they would like, and what they worry about, in a possible new home base. Navy workers here have already received letters (names apparently supplied by a former navy employe) from real estate firms in Mississippi, asking if they want help finding new homes. James Moore Fined MONROE, La. (UPI) James W.

Moore, Louisiana Superport Commission member and former chairman of the Louisiana Highway Board, was fined $330 Friday on charges stemming from a January shooting incident. Moore pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm in the city limits and appearing in public while intoxicated. He previously pleaded innocent to the charges, but changed his mind during an appearance before City Judge Elvis Stout. "These were misdemeanor charges to which I have paid my fine like any other citizen," Moore said. "It was a mistake in my life, I paid for it and now that's behind me." Stout also told Moore to continue seeking treatment for alcoholism.

Moore was on probation for an earlier drinking violation at the time of the shooting, which caused some property damage but no (Tow Talk Capital Service) WASHINGTON Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger stands to make two powerful senators powerfully nhappy, whichever way he rules on the pending proposal to move the Naval Oceanograph-ic Office from suburban Suitland, to Mississippi. Schlesinger is caught between Sens. John Stennis (D-Miss.) and Russell Long (D-La.) who would like the multimillion-dollar payroll of the 1,600 Suitland workers in tlieirneighborhoods, and Washington Democratic Sens. Warren Magnuson and Henry M.

Jackson, who want to know what the move will cost. Magnuson and Jackson, along with Reps. Floyd V. Hicks and Joel Pritchard, both of Washington, have asked Schlesinger to delay any decision to move pending a General Accounting Office cost study. The study was requested by Rep.

Marjor-ie Holt GAO currently is assembling a team to go to the Bay St. Louis, site, but its report could take six months. Navy and congressional sources who support the move want Schlesinger to give approval by June so that the first group of 400 workers can be moved or replaced by August. Stennis, who heads the Senate Armed Services Committee and Rep. F.

Edward Hebcrt (D-La.) of the House unit, have told voters in their states that the move is virtually a sure thing. Sen. Long, who heads the Appropriations Committee, also favors the transfer since the Bay St. Louis site is within an hours' drive of New Orleans, which has received 1,700 Navy jobs (and a $40 million annual Navy payroll) over the last couple ofyears. The Washington states congressional delegation has its own ax to grind.

Their university stands to lose million-dollar Navy grants if the Oceanographic Office is moved south. The Navy has been under the gun from Congress to lower its civilian profile in the Washington area. Currently Navy, with 38,000 civilian workers, is the second largest employer here (after Congress itself) with a $50 million a month payroll.

Phone Friday night Ford addressed the congregation at special services in Boston's Old North Church where 200 years ago, Paul Revere ordered sexton Robert Newman to hang two lanterns from the spire, signaling residents that British troops were moving by water toward Concord. At 10:30 p.m., April 18, 1775, two friends rowed Revere across the Charles River their oars muffled by a petticoat "still warm from the wearer's body." A horse waited on the opposite shore. Thus began the famous "midnight ride" to warn rebels Sam Adams and John Hancock in Lexington. Revere later was captured by British sentrys between Lexington and Concord. British troops were not surprised to find 77 Minute-men on Lexington Green that gentle spring morning of April 19.

The rebels, in no mood for confrontation, were dispersing when a single shot fired from a source still unknown triggered a British volley. Eight colonists were killed and 100 wounded. The British resumed their march on Concord to destroy rebel military supplies. Minutemen in Concord, hearing of the incident on the Green, moved parallel to the British and finally grouped near the North Bridge crossing the Concord River. They were content to stand by and watch the Redcoats until they spotted smoke in the town about 9 a.m.

"Will you let them burn the town down?" yelled Joseph Hosmer of Acton. The Minutemen, now 400 in strength, moved toward several British companies on guard at the bridge. A few stray shots were fired by the British, then a volley. Two Minutemen fell dead. "For God's sake, fire!" By Helen Derr -(Town Talk Religion Editor) Community involvement is the aim of the 1975 Poor Man's Supper, Thursday, and it's also the way the Supper is being planned and put together, according to Mrs.

Bibby Tate and Mrs. Tom Robinson, co-chairman. Churches, Boy and Girl Scouts, business firms, civic groups, state and parish agencies, schools and colleges are all involved in the food, program, ticket sales, decorations and projects for the supper at 6:30 p.m. in Convention Hall. The supper, red beans and rice, cabbage and corn bread, will be cooked by a food committee headed by Mrs.

J. E. McCampbell and including Mrs. Lambert Broadwell, Mrs. Ed Flesh-man, Mr.

However, people continued to arrive in town on foot. About 35,000 persons gathered at dawn for the reinact-ment of the battle at Lexington Green.

Intermittent rain fell during the night, but skies were expected to clear later with temperatures soaring into the 70s. Most of the overnight crowd at Concord attended the early morning rally of the People's Bicentennial Commission, a group formed four years ago and dedicated to economic changes. However, many of the participants appeared to be high school and college students who came to hear the music rather than political talk and left before dawn.

He claimed that victim had in his possession adoption papers on three children.

Investigators said they have no lead on who the alleged victim might have been and noted the investigation has turned up no remains or vehicle hich could be linked to the case. Police said they were advised the alleged murder occurred here 12 to 18 months ago. City police do suspect Waldon of abducting a man from a MacArthur Drive motel here Feb. 8, driving him to a wooded area and leaving him there to walk. In that case the victim wasn't hurt.

And his car was allegedly used by Waldon to drive to California. shouted Maj. John Buttrick of Concord, leader of the patriot forces. Their muskets responded, killing three British soldiers, and injuring nine. The Redcoats were overwhelmed by the size of the rebel forces and retreated.

All along the retreat, the Pa triots lired on the king's troops from behind stone walls, trees and buildings. The British, accustomed only to formalized warfare, were devastated by the guerilla tactics. The Minutemen chased them back to Boston, took up positions across the Charles River and placed Boston under seige. Those Minutemen companies, many of which arrived during the night, were to become the Continental Army. Within two months, they would fight at Bunker Hill and within ten weeks, their new commander, Gen.

George Washington, would join them. The British casualties were 73 killed, 26 missing and 174 wounded. The Patriots' casualties were 49 killed, five missing and 41 wounded.

Chlorine acting on organic matter in the water, and reacting with other substances in the water, is being blamed for the formation of organic chemicals, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride among them. Both of those latter compounds are suspected cancer causers.

Other ways to treat water include the use of activated carbon, bubbling it through oxygen or treatment with ultraviolet light. Gordon G. Roebeck, director of EPA's Water Supply Research Laboratory in Cincinnati, said activated carbon could be used at a cost of about three cents per gallons treated. WASHINGTON (UPI) Environmental Protection Agency officials believe the problem of suspected cancer causing agents in the nation's drinking water could be solved at a cost of only pennies per person. Nationwide the total cost could be $100 million or more, according to EPA Administrator Russell E.

Train. But Train said not enough is known yet about the seriousness of the problem to say whether that expenditure will be necessary. EPA's preliminary finding, released Friday, showed at least one suspected carcinogen in the public water supply of all 79 cities surveyed. The agency said it has no reason to think it will find anything different in all the nation's 240,000 public water sources. Police Have Not Confirmed Man's Murder Confession Panel Passes WASHINGTON (UPI) -A House subcommittee has voted to extend the Voting Rights Act for 10 years, permanently ban literacy tests, and provide coverage for the first time for Voting Right The House civil rights subcommittee approved the extension of the act Friday while also slapping in a permanent ban on literacy tests.

The Ford administration sought a five year-extension of the law, originally intend- Alexandria police have yet to come up with any evidence that the alleged murder here a man confessed to in California last month actually happened. Charles E. Waldon, 20, who had resided at 2121 Houston Alexandria, is still being held by Los Angeles authorities on a charge of murdering a businessman there about March 14, police said. He was reported to have confessed to 32 murders, including one in this area. Waldon was quoted as saying he hitched a ride here with a man driving a white Extension ed to secure voting rights for blacks in seven Southern states.

The statute allows federal registrars and voting examiners to enter a delinguent state to insure that all qualified voters can register and cast a ballot. Reps. Caldwell Butler.R-Va., and Thomas Kindness, R-Ohio, opposed sending the measure to full committee. Butler offered what was termed a "bailout" amendment to allow the seven states to withdraw from the law's oversight when at least 60 per cent of a state's eligible voters take part in an election. Strong majority opposition forced Butler to withdraw his measure.

Police said at least 22 persons were killed and 37 injured when a wall of flames erupted before dawn in the forward end of the Dutch-owned Princess Irene. Local authorities said up to 18 others may have been trapped in the lower deck and drowned when the boat partially sank at its pier within sight of the famed Cologne Cathedral. Firemen and rescue workers carried 46 persons unharmed from the smoldering white boat which had been chartered by a Catholic welfare organization in Amsterdam for a Rhine excurstion that began April 14.
