Outdoor Livin 1, THE SUN, Thursday, January 4, 1973 Raimondi resigns from bar needed waterfowl laws Bethlehem bias case delayed by Hodgson in ing trips have been few and only in highly selectiive areas. In the first instance, I was hunting in the private booby blind of an Eastern Shore man, who was highly regarded conservation and government circles. Since'he had been appointed to an important post relating to environmental protection by the Governor, the thought never passed my mind that he would be involved in an illegal waterfowl operation. Raid followed Needless to say. we had a fantastic shoot, getting our limit of cans, red heads and bonus scaups well before sunset even though we did not enter the blind until after lunch.

A couple of" days later the blind was raided by federal agents and the occupants were charged with shooting over bait. About a month later, I was invited to hunt a commercial duck hunting area in Southern Maryland. An outdoor writer from a Washington newspaper was along for the hunt. Boss charged Our host was gracious and told us that he had learned all about baiting from his grandfather who was a market hunter on the Susquehanna Flats many years ago. Of course, he pointed out that he was too good of a hunter to have to resort to baiting.

der, a step which can mean a big pay cut for one who has attained considerable seniority in another unit. At one point during the case, Sparrows Point had 217 senior ity units. Discourages blacks During hearings in 1969 and 1970, Labor Department offi cials convinced the three-man conciliation panel that this sys tem keeps blacks in less desir able, more menial jobs by dis couraging them from seeking transfers to better jobs. The panel concluded that blacks were in most of the less desirable positions because Bethlehem Steel for decades had channeled them there purposely. The government has insisted the Sparrows Point case and other cases that em ployees should have plant-wide seniority, the right to "carry it over" to another unit and to re tain at least the former rate of pay in the new job.

The two are called seniority carryover and rate retention for short. Transfers wreak havoc Companies prosecuted for contract compliance violations often have argued for less sub stantial changes, saying rate re tention and seniority carryover would cripple operating efficiency and business. The argument is considered reasonable. Although there must be an opening and the person transferring must be qualified to fill the post, a sudden upsurge of transfers could wreak havoc in any large plant, it is argued. Consequently, courts have ruled over the last five years that there can be "an overrid ing, legitimate nonracial busi- nes purpose" is not granting senonty carryover and rate retention.

This is the argument Bethle hem lawyers advanced. Two members a majority-of the arbitration panel agreed with their stand in favor of more limited changes. One is use of a smaller number of seniority units. The Lackawanna plant where a more sweeping remedy was ordered is smaller, but not that much smaller, than Sparrows Point. It has 18,000 employees, including 2,600 Seagull quint expects winning ways to soar STEEL, from D20 one of the largest steel mills in the world, and the largest private employer in Bethlehem Steel, one of the biggest corporations in the coun try, is threatened with a loss of $250 million in government contracts and exclusion from future work for alleged failure to eradicate racial discrimina tion in employment practices at the plant.

Lawyers in civil rights and contract compliance work say Mr. Hodgson had every right to delay a decision until the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on the Justice Department's case against the Lackawanna plant was handed down. But, that oc- cured June 21, 1971, and the lawyers see little, if any excuse for much delay beyond then. Complete overhaul needed The anneals court, overturn ing a decision by a district court judge, ruled unanimous ly tnat there was serious discrimination in the Locka wanna plant's' seniority system and that the only appropriate way to correct it was a complete overhaul of that system. The court specifically rejecting less drastic changes recommended in the Sparrows point case six months earlier by the three-man conciliation Danel noted, "the issues and the facts involved in the Spar rows fomt decision are similar to this Relinquish all seniority Knowledgeable lawyers in and out of government say that the court decision-which Beth lehem did not appeal should have made it much easier for Mr.

Hodgson to reach a conclusion because it, and two earlier cases upheld by the Supreme court, stood as landmarks. Under, the Sparrows Point seniority system pretty much the same as the Lackawanna system before it was changed under court order an employee who wants to transfer to another job in the plant must relinquish all seniority. Seniority is valid only within a work "unit" and is not plant- wide. Moving into a new unit, a worker must start on the bot tom rung of the seniority lad Instant blacks, 1 compared to 25,000 employees, including blacks at Sparrows Point. -uf One of the main Questions Hodgson must decide, then, hp whether sparrows Jfomt de serves different treatment than Lackawanna.

Ronald Green, whom Mr. Hodgson hired as a consultant in the case, says he gave the-labor secretary his recommend dations a year ago. He aetended Mr. iioagsoirs-delay in releasing a decision but savs he knows of no reasffi why the case could not have been decided in the last six months. Hired Bethlehem witness Since receivintr the racom- 0 --j- panel, Mr.

Hodgson in what many lawyers regard as a serious error of judgment has hir ed tne man who had been Bethlehem's main witness St the two years of hearinesTin the Sparrows Point case. Ai Richard F. Schubert, the as-sistant manager of Bethlehem's, industrial relations department was named Mr. Hodgson's exa ecutive assistant. Later, -he was appointed solicitor genjer al of the Labor Mr.

Schubert says he has been "extremely careful" to avoid involvement in the cae? And. otherwise harsh critics1! the Labor Department say 'hej nas Deen nonest. Successor like Hodgson In the event Mr. Hodgson' a former industrial relations man viewed as. "companv ori ented" does not make a de-' cision, critics of the Bethlehejf seniority system see no hope that they will fare better with his designated successor, Peter J.

Brennan, a conservative New York labor leader-' They note that the steelwork ers union, with serious racial problems of its own, is fighting the government" side-by-side with Bethlehem. Meantime, two Baltimore lawyers, with the backing of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense Fund, decifl; ed not to await a decision. In 1971. thev filed suit asaiM frx Bethlehem Steel under the civil rights act on behalf of fM black employees. That suit, still pending, also challenges thft seniority system.

3. ges By EARL IREL8BT As we approach the end of the Maryland waterfowl season, we have to wonder If it is not time for changes in some of the regulations governing this Baiting or the illegal placing of food to attract waterfowl within gun range has caused the problem that disturbs me. For the record, we are in favor of strict rules on baiting because they are needed to protect the birds. For those who put bait or knowingly shoot over baited areas, we endorse the stiff fines and even Jail sentences that are being sought by the agents of the Fish and Wildlife Services. However, the situation is a little more complicated than There are instances when these violators drag innocent bystanders into legal trouble With them.

Limit trips We realize that it is the offender who yells the loudest that he has been framed, but there have been many instances of persons being fined even though they were unaware the hunting area had been sweetened with corn or other bait. While I have never knowingly shot a baited area, I had two experiences in one year that make me uncomfortable in a strange blind or pit. In fact, since then my waterfowl- IVo reason to dispute VSC title Los Angeles John McKay parked his lighted cigar on an ashtray to answer the tele phone. He talked seriously a few moments and tnen nung up. "It was long distance," ex- plaineed the prematurely snowhaired coach of the Southern California football team yesterday.

"Some guy says he can get the Astrodome free and wants us to play Oklahoma for Nicar-aguan earthquake relief. "Our guys are all scattered now, I'm afraid we cannot oblige." I As worthy as are the mo tives, any further field action is certainly unnecessary to determine the ibest college football team in the country. The honor goes undisputably to Southern California, winner of 11 straight regular season games, 42-17 conqueror of Ohio State, unbeaten in their last 17 outings and unanimously 1 in the final Associated Press poll. Sooners are No. 2 The Trojans received 1,000 points from a national panel of sportswriters and sportscasters compared with 872 for once-beaten Oklahoma, winner over.

McKay relaxed in his sumptuous second-floor offices of Heritage Hall, a modernistic sports palace rich with red carpet; and glistening trophies of the university's 57 national championships in all sports, five of them in football. The 49-year-old Trojan coach who chain-smokes cigars and gulps black coffee as if it's going out of style, was attired in a baby blue sweater and slacks, ready for a pro-am golfdate at the $135,000 Glen Campbell Los Angeles Open tournament. He plays to a 14 handicap. Opposes play-offs The incoming president of the American Football Coaches Association is perfectly content to be No.

"We have had committees studying a play-off plan and Duffy Daugherty, Michigan State has come up with a -format, but I don't think we ever will have a football playoff system," McKay said.

Ral mondi, a Baltimore lawyer and politician who was convicted of attempting to bribe a state senator, has resigned from the state bar. Maryland Court of Ap peals accepted the resignation "with prejudice," which has the effect of disbarment. Lawyers facing possible dis ciplinary action by the court sometimes offer to resign from the bar to avoid disciplinary proceedings. The court can ac cept or reject such an offer. The United States Supreme court refused October 24 to review Raimondi's case.

The lawyer offered to resign three weeks later. Raimondi was sentenced to 18 months in prison and fined $500 after being convicted of attempting to bribe State Senator John J. Bishop, 4th, Baltimore county). He began serving his sentence yesterday. The state charged that Rai mondi offered to pay the sena tor $3,000 for each Republican vote he could deliver at the 1969 special election for Gover nor held by the General Assembly to fill the vacancy created when Spiro T.

Agnew became Vice President. The lawyer wanted Senator Bishop to garner between 25 and 33 Republican votes for the gubernatorial candidacy of Dale Anderson, the Baltimore county executive. The senator went to the State Police with the alleged bribe attempt. Mr. Anderson denied any knowledged of such a scheme.

The election was won by Governor Mandel. Both the Court of Appeals and the state Court of Special Appeals upheld Raimondi's conviction and sentence before the Supreme Court refused to consider the case. Judge Marshall A. 'Levin, of the Baltimore Criminal Court, had given the lawyer until Jan uary 8 to straighten out his affairs before going to prison, According to spokesman for the Criminal Court, Raimondi complained of heart trouble after his appeal was turned down by the Supreme Court and was then admitted to Union Memorial Hospital. The spokes man said the lawyer was trans ferred yesterday to a prisoner confinement section of Univer sity Hospital.

3 policemen cleared in death DISMISS, from D20 coordination between the secu rity guard system and -the school administration, Mr. Allen said 10 minutes elapsed after the original injury before the principal learned of the problem. "It would have been an even greater tragedy had the classes been released to traverse the halls during this period," he said. He pointed out that Mr. Lewis had a record of six arrests, one for a narcotics violation, yet this matter was never brought to the attention of his employer.

Mr. Lewis in 1962 had been given probation before verdict on an auto theft charge, was fined $50 for assault two years later, received a $100 fine for receiving stolen goods in 1971 and last year was given proba tion without verdict on another assault charge, records disclosed. Mr. Lewis stabbed William Bowe, a 24-year-old security guard trainee, and Laura Bishop, 40, a security guard, before taking as hostage Ter esa Ann Griggs, 16, of the 1500 block North Durham street.

I 116(311 With kn Cat Trtat Again we had a fantastic shoot and took our limit of red heads with little trouble. The Washington writer was so impressed with. the shoot that he sent one of his bosses to the area to hunt a few days later. Unfortunately, the writ er's boss was among those charged with hunting over bait when the blind was raided. In both instances, there was no reason to suspect that, anything illegal was going on until the ducks began to pile into the decoys.

Even then it was passed off as one of those rare hunting days when everything goes right. Since then, waterfowl hunting invitations have been turned down more often than accepted and I have never really enjoyed the sport. Some change needed To me waterfowl hunting has become like what it must be to sneak onto someone's property to hunt Hunting is supposed to be relaxation, but how can anyone relax when they are never sure when they are about to get into a scrape with the law. The need for curtailing the baiting tradition on the East ern 'Shore was evident. The F.W.S.

has done an excellent job of eliminating much of it. but there are still some people who insist on baiting. Our only concern is for the birds and the innocent hunters. They can put all of the baiters in jail. FREE the squad in scoring with a 15.7 average.

Jenkins and junior Milt Purnell (10.5 average) are the forwards with Burke the center. Burke sports a 13.1 scoring and a 11.7 rebound average. Purnell leads the team on the boards with 15 caroms a game. "We're getting the quality players more often right now. But we still need to get a big man.

This hurts us a lot late in the game because the other teams Wear us down after a while," pointed out Lambert. The Seagulls have been in most of their games at the half but have faded in the late going. iv 'We are a great hustling team. I have to give these guys credit. They never stop hustling.

We just need to improve timing and shooting and we'll be okay." Freshman Art Afthim, a four-year veteran of the Air Force basketball wars, has joined the-Seagulls after sitting out the first semester. Afthim hit 7-of-ll shots from the floor against St. Mary's and is a definite threat to crack the starting lineup.

Bobby Dwayne Field, an assistant at the University of Alabama 'for. the past two years, was named defensive secondary coach and S. E.

Sullins, an assistnt at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga for three years, was named defensive tackle coach. But how' can you change the law to protect those who get involved innocent? There are some who call for legalizing baiting and having strict enforcement on bag waits. Ideally, this sounds reason able. But unfortunately, the hunter is not sophisticated enough yet to control his greed and there are not enough game wardens in the world to en force a strict bag limit. Any change is going to make the enforcement officer's job more difficult, but we feel that some change is necessary to protect the innocent bystanders.

Document sites I don't pretend to have all the answers to this very complex and serious problem, but it seems that the burdon of responsibility for baiting should be put on those who bait, those with knowledge of baiting, land owners, guides and leasees. One suggestion might be to document every hunting site and make whoever signs for the papers responsible with jail terms likely for allowing baiting. 1 There must be some way under the American form of justice to keep innocent water fowl hunters out of courts where they face almost certain conviction. We gladly offer this space as a forum for any ideas that could put the fun back in waterfowl hunting. Hayes ivon'tgo to court Columbus, Ohio lAV-Ohio State football Coach Woody Hayes said yesterday he will not appear in a Pasadena, court January 15 to answer charges stemming from a Rose Bowl altercation with a photographer.

"I will have a lawyer represent me," said the fiery Buckeye coach, accused of battery by Los Angeles Times photographer Art Rogers. Rogers contends Hayes pushed a camera in his face, causing the photographer to suffer double The incident happened on the field be fore the game Monday won by top-ranking Southern California, 42-17. Hayes disclosed his court plans to Columbus writers in a team hotel room in Pasadena before the Buckeyes flew home yesterday. The Ohio State coach of 22 seasons told his version in front of Dr. Harold Enarson, the university's new present, and three officials of the school's athletic department.

Enarson termed the altercation "regrettable" and thought both sides should apologize. "They the Times have done a systematic badgering of Woody all week," contended. "In the rush and crush before a game, I can understand a man pushing a camera out of his face. "I think a note of apology from both parties might be a good way to wash out an incident that should be forgotten by everyone," the Ohio State president said.

Islanders 1 EHL Orsansbor Roanoke allay- By BILL A basketball victory at Salisbury State was a rarity before Ward Lambert arrived on the scene two years Now the Seagull fans expect success on the court and are quick to voice disapproval when the team doesn't perform up to standards. "Several years ago the fans at. Salisbury would be happy just for a win. But now they are disappointed when we don't beat certain teams by an impressive margin," said Lambert who directed Salisbury State to the first winning season (14-12) in the school's history The basketball program has been On the upswing since Lambert departed Stephen Decatur High School to lead the Seagulls. The Eastern Shore quint compiled a 10-14 record in: Lambert's initial season, and came back last year with the winning ledger.

Lambert has put together a young team which thrives on speed and aggressiveness to make up for its lack of height the tallest player on the starting team is Sylvester Burke (6-4). Salisbury has a 54 record in the early going this year and the Seagulls' boss is optimistic as his charges prepare for the second part of the campaign. Purnell on patrol "I think this is the best team in the school's history. We should surpass last year's' record. The only.

thing I'm worried about now is how we'll play after our long break (15 days)," emphasized Lambert. Bouncy sophomore guard Ron Dixon is the team leader and has a 12.9 scoring average. He turned in a top-notch effort as Salisbury defeated St. Mary's in the consolation game of the Salisbury Civic Center Holiday tournament last week. "Ron's in his first year as our play maker and he's starting to do a good job.

He had just two turnovers against St. Mary's," praised Lambert. Ken McLaughlin joins Dixon in the backcourt with a 13.3 average.
