Long Pledges Support Of Local OEO Projects (Special to the Town Talk) LAFAYETTE, La. U.S. Sen. Russell Long says he'll work for continued federal funding of Community Action Programs and for other programs designed to ease the economic burden of the poor. Addressing a crowd attending the annual banquet of the St.

Martin, Iberia, Lafayette Community Action Agency (SMILE) here Monday night, Long said, "We have the votes in the Senate and House to support Community Action Programs. I think we can prevail for this program." A speaker before Long William Jefferson, executive assistant to U.S. Sen. J. Bennett Johnston lamented the fact that President Nixon's newly announced 1974-75 federal budget contains "zero" funds for the U.S.

Post Office of Economic Opportunity and, consequently, for Community Action Programs. "I regret that you just don't get much help with this kind of a program with a Republican administration," Long commented. Long told the group he is seeking passage of a program under which those working poor families earning $4,000 and less per year would be entitled to a 10 per cent refund from the federal government to help reimburse them for the indirect taxes they pay in purchasing basic goods and services. The working poor are paving 27 per cent of their 1 money for hidden taxes, he said, citing the social security tax as one example. Under Long's "Work Bonus" program, which has passed the Senate twice in the form of a bill and is now pending before the House, some 6 20 million poor people would be helped.

The program would cost some $600 million a year, he noted. "I've tried to take all the taxes off of the poor," said. But taxes are "all wrapped up in the price of the products they buy," he said, explaining one reason he proposed the Work Bonus Program. Jefferson, after saying he sees a "very bleak" picture for the future of 0EO, said he hopes "Congress will come to the rescue of OE0 and Community Action Programs." Bay City Mayor Needed Says Wife SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The wife of Mayor Joseph Alioto finally showed up Tuesday after "disappearing" for 15 days and confessed she did it because she felt she was being ignored and her busy politician husband of 33 years needed "a little punishment." Mrs. Angelina Alioto, 58, appeared with Alioto a candidate for governor in a news conference at their home only hours after a lengthy secret search ended when she called home.

"I love my husband very, very she said, with Alioto standing quietly at her side. "But he didn't ask me when he ran for Mayor and he didn't consult me about running for governor. "It be nice to be asked." Choir to Perform at Arts Festival EXCHANGE SPEAKER Donald J. Thibodeaux, Louisiana Superintendent of State Police, will be guest speaker at the first meeting Thursday noon of the Alexandria Exchange Club's crime prevention series. The meeting is scheduled at Ramada Inn.

Thibodeaux, named to the superintendent's post in May, 1972, is the youngest man to hold that position. He was selected by the U.S. Department of Justice and the American Bar Assn. as one of the six state police chiefs to express their views on police standards for the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police.

The Sanctuary Choir of First United Methodist Church will present "Mass in Major" by Franz Schubert and "The Death of the Bishop of Brindisi" by Gian Carlo Menotti Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The presentation, to be directed by Dorman Clayton, is the final event in the church's eighth annual art festival. The exhibit of art in various media will continue at the church through Friday, however, according to Richard B. Crowell, chairman. The hours are 9 a.m.

until 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Soloists for the "Mass in Major" are Mary Beth Williams, soprano, Karen Frey, soprano, Ralph Dowden, tenor, and Owen Brown, baritone. Schubert composed six masses, of which the Major is the most popular and best known. It was written in 1815 when Shubert was just 18 years old and indicates the' romantic quality that became characteristic of his later works, said Clayton. A contemporary of Beethoven, Schubert was one of the world's most prolific com- posers.

In a brief lifetime of 31 years, he contributed volumes of ever-popular music to the classical repertoire. Horace English, bass, will sing the part of the bishop in "Bishop of Brindisi" and Janell Luno, mezzo-soprano, will sing the nun's role. Menotti, according to Clayton, continues to be one of the outstanding living composers of opera. An Italian by birth, he makes his home in the United States. His works represent a unique synthesis of music and drama, Clayton said.

"The Death of the Bishop of Brindisi" was written in 1963. Based on actual events of the 13th century, the opera is a series of reminiscences of the dying bishop of the town of Brindisi, a port on the eastern coast of Italy. He remembers with anguish and guilt the children who came to him for his blessing prior to their crusade to the Holy Land. With horror, he recalls how their ships were sunk by a fearful storm within sight of the harbor. The chorus acts a as the townspeople and also as the final voice of judgement, in It's Cash For The Asking JUST ASK US! which the bishop is absolved of guilt.

The story's highly emotional character and theatrical effects in the music combine to make this a moving and deeply religious work, said Clayton. Water Is Cheap At 20 Cents a Ton PITTSBURGH (AP) If you had to buy water by the ton, you'd be getting a pretty good bargain, according to Rockwell International largest producer of domestic water meters in the U.S. Municipal water sells for about 20 cents a ton. If you bought soda pop the same, way, it would cost you $210 per ton. Beer by the ton sells for $405 per ton, while 100 proof whisky sells for the equivalent of $6,144 a ton.

Protected Colony For 250 years, Greenland was a Danish colony, sealed off to protect the Eskimo hunting culture from outside influences. Mrs. Alioto said she slipped away after a political rally Jan. 20 in Palm Springs and made a leisurely two-week tour of the famous California missions under an assumed name. She said she didn't tell her husband and others because they "needed a little punishment." Anxious Wait Alioto kept the disappearance secret but as his anxiety grew he began cancelling official appointments and hired off-duty police detectives to search Palm Springs.

Then he requested a five-state missing person bulletin be issued as far as Texas. Finally, on Monday, he announced the disappearance to the public.
