9 Magazine blow-in cards blow anti-litterer's mind NEW YORK (AP) That thing in magazines that advertising people call a blow-in card is blowing Bud McKeage's mind and he is fighting to get rid of it. The blow-in, usually a business reply card for soliciting subscriptions, falls into the reader's lap when he opens the magazine. McKeage says that because of this, the city is being buried under a new type of litter. "Those cards blow out all over the city," says McKeage, who began his campaign a year ago "after I noticed there were a lot of these blow-in cards on the sidewalks around newsstands." McKeage says his first blow for vengeance is to mail in all the cards he finds: "I feel it's a way to penalize these magazines because when they get the return, they have to pay anywhere from 3V2 cents to 12 cents more than the ordinary postcard, based on the latest postal costs for business reply cards." His second step is to get environmentalists and others to lobby for higher postal rates for those who use these cards. "It would be perfectly okay if the publishers would staple the cards to the magazine," says McKeage, who subscribes to 15 publications.

He says the card that irritated him most was the one from a new magazine which indicated the publishers realized their card might be a nuisance. Korean scandal started in '60s The Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON U.S. intelligence reports detail "a systematic effort" by South Korean agents to win influence in the U.S. Congress as far back as the late 1960s, the chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee said yesterday. Sen.

Adlai E. Stevenson, who heads the ethics panel besides serving on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in an interview he had examined more than 100 pages of documents on the Korean scandal compiled by the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. "Congress was targeted, individuals were targeted (by the Koreans)," Stevenson said. "There were a lot of efforts that we would regard as immoral by our standards." But Stevenson said reports be had seen so far contain no evidence that any U.S. senator had accepted South Korean money or favors.

He declined to discuss the reported involvement of House members. Stevenson's comments marked the first official discussion of the nature of American intelligence reports on the South Korean payoff scandal. He was interviewee shortly after be and other Ethics Committee members met in closed session with Central Intelligence Agency Director Stansfield Turner. Meanwhile, other congressional source said high officials of the Carter Administration had sought in vain to persuade the Seoul government to arrange the return from London of Korean lobbyist Tongsun Park. Park, a South Korean citizen, is a central figure in the Korean influence probe here but has remained beyond the reach of U.S.

subpoenas. Stevenson, interviewed in his office, said the highly classified reports, which be refused to discuss in detail, bad important bearing on the Justice Department's criminal investigation and had been provided to the federal grand jury. He said they indicated that South Koreans tried "to establish relationships with Congress to promote the national security of their country and to further commercial opportunities." Although characterizing many of these efforts as "immoral by our standards," Stevenson said: "You have to understand that these people have been living under the gun of a hostile power to the north. With that in mind, I didn't find their lobbying efforts were terribly sinister." i SI L-l SEN. ADLAI E.

Alyeska argued the welds were sound, but redid them anyway. Meanwhile, in Fairbanks, the last two of three men charged with trying to blow up a portion of the line 15 rrriles north of the city on July 20 were arraigned yesterday, they are charged with malicious destruction of property, a felony. Three simultaneous dynamite explosions did only superficial damage to the line. under pressure spurted into the pump-house and ignited, killing one man, injuring five and forcing a 10-day shutdown.

The twisted and charred ruins of the pumpbouse were bypassed, and oil started to move again, only to be halted within hours when a piece of heavy construction equipment tore the vent from a check valve at Mile 23, just south of the Prudhoe Bay field. Oil under high pressure spurted onto the tundra 2,500 barrels before the hole could be plugged. The last of the major problems came Wednesday, when Alyeska agreed to halt an explosion, the line suffered its first sabotage attempt and one mishap spewed 42,000 gallons of oil onto the tundra. Alyeska notes with pride that it is meeting its 3-year-old, self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline for completion of the line and movement of the oil.

For the first 15 days, things went smoothly. Then, on July 4, supercold liquid nitrogen was pumped into the line by mistake. An elbow section of the line cracked and had to be replaced. On July 8, a valve apparently was opened by mistake at Pump 8. Crude and 56 minutes to travel the 800-mile, 48-inch, $7.7 billion pipeline.

The journey was interrupted by several mishaps, including a pump station explosion that killed one worker and reduced the line's pumping capacity by one-third. An Atlantic Richfield supertanker, the Arco Juneau bound from the firm's Cherry Point, refinery, will be loaded about three days after oil begins filling the Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. storage tanks here. The crude will be the first shipments from what is estimated to be a nine billion barrel field at Prudhoe Bay along the Arctic Ocean. In the pipeline's present configuration, Alyeska hopes to deliver 800,000 barrels a day to Valdez.

The pipeline startup ordeal, which began June 20 at Prudhoe Bay, was as frustrating for Alyeska as was construction of the line, the largest privately financed construction project in history. Major and minor shutdowns added 14 days to the time it took to move the heated oil from fields north of the Arctic Circle to Valdez, an ice-free port. Pump Station No. 8 southeast of Fairbanks was destroyed in By ROBERT WELLE VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) Sirens wailed, horns honked, cheers erupted in bars. All signaled the first gush of "black gold" arriving here from Alaska's Prudhoe Bay oil field.

The oil arrived yesterday at 11:02 p.m. Alaskan time (4:02 a.m. EDT). "It's here, it's in," said a technician in the control room of the trans-Alaska pipeline's $1 billion terminus across the harbor from this scenic town.

Thomson's letter quotes several controversial comments by Young concerning racism and the use of Communist troops in Africa and declares: "Andrew Young's outrageous record of pro-Marxist agitation, his deep involvement with both domestic and foreign Communists and Communist-inspired terrorist organizations, and his complete lack of any qualifications for the job of U.N. representative must be widely publicized and exposed." Thomson included in the "Andrew Young Must Go! Action Kit" a page depicting a burned child in bandages with this handwritten inscription: "Little three-year-old Cornelia Koekenoer was horribly maimed for life in a wanton act of violence by black power terrorists. Andrew Young has long sided with Communist-inspired terrorists." By JACK NELSON The Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON A vitriolic letter attacking U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young and soliciting funds for a campaign to force him from office has been mailed nationwide under the names of The Conservative Caucus and Gov. Meldrin Thomson Jr.

of New Hampshire. The letter, which accuses Young of supporting "Communist butchers and terrorists" and includes a photograph of a child "horribly burned and maimed" by such terrorists, bears the official state seal of New Hampshire and is signed by Thomson. A spokesman for the conservative group, which is headquartered in the Falls Church, offices of Howard Phillips, a professional organizer of right-wing causes, said yesterday about 200,000 copies of the letter have been mailed in recent weeks. "The response has been tremendous," he said. The Conservative Caucus, chaired by William Rusher, publisher of the National Review, was formed last February as part of a conservative program to form a "shadow cabinet" to monitor the policies of President Carter and his administration.

Rusher serves as the shadow Attorney General and Thomson as the shadow Secretary of State. In the letter soliciting funds, Thomson said that with the help of The Conservative Caucus (TCC), he was preparing "a detailed list of charges and specifications so that I can have introduced on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives a motion to remove Andrew Young." In Washington, Rep. Larry McDonald, the shadow Secretary of Defense, said he believes the TCC campaign "will educate the public to Young's background and make him a political liability to the Carter Administration." McDonald, a member of the John Birch Society and the only Democrat in the HHH raps Carter on urban neglect By JACK NELSON The Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, siding with black leader Vernon Jordan, said Wednesday President Carter has "missed the boat" by failing to develop a policy to help the nation's impoverished cities. "I think the problem with the administration on the cities is that there's been no focus," Humphrey said. "There's been lots of little pieces. It's like building blocks they are spread all over the table and nobody has built them into any kind of system." Humphrey's criticism, although tempered with praise for the President on the foreign front and on some domestic issues, was as sharp as any leveled at Carter by a leading Democrat since he assumed office. And it added a prominent new voice to the chorus of complaints following the New York blackout that Carter has failed to develop an urban program.

The former vice president suggested that Carter has been guided by current public opinion polls and added, "I think that's a very dangerous thing to do. I think that a man who is president has to lead and has to be willing to take some risks and to do things that at times, at the beginning may not seem very popular." Humphrey, who has developed a close relationship with Carter since their bruising rivalry in last year's Democratic presidential primaries, said Jordan had performed a great service in criticizing the President for his lack of an urban program. Jordan, executive director of the Urban League, voiced his criticism at the League's annual conference here last Sunday. In reply the next day, Carter told the conference he had "no apologies to make" and listed a number of administration efforts to improve the plight of the urban poor. And he later told Jordan his criticism was "damaging to the hopes and aspirations of poor people." But Humphrey, interviewed at a breakfast session with The Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau, said "Vernon Jordan spoke for his constituency.

This is what politics in America is all about it isn't a love feast. If you don't have a fellow like Vernon 'look, Mr. President, we've got these problems, there is the ghetto problem, the huge unemployment, etc. And unless you've got someone like that really sticking it to you, you have a tendency to put some of this stuff on the back burner." I AMBASSADOR YOUNG Target of conservatives Panel wants to deter mail openings By JEFFREY MILLS WASHINGTON (AP) A congressional subcommittee will consider forcing the U.S. Customs Service to obtain search warrants before opening incoming mail to look for contraband.

The statement by the panel's chairman followed testimony Thursday that mail from certain foreign countries is routinely turned over to the Customs Service, where it sometimes is illegally opened and read. Rep. Richardson Preyer, chairman of the governmental operations subcommittee, said the disclosures "show that the mail openers aren't playing by the rules." He said the panel "will consider whether and how much the rules should be tightened or whether such openings should be permitted at all without a search said. He said it was Customs Service "general policy" to call in military investigators when dealing with mail to or from servicemen. Asked whether that program had ended, Benson replied, "I feel I can make that assurance." Meanwhile, the Customs Service published proposed regulations that would limit the agency's mail openings.

Under the proposals, letters could be opened only if a dog trained to sniff drugs reacted to the letter or if the letter's bulk indicated that there was more than paper inside. A Preyer aide called the proposed regulations, which were published after the committee began its investigation, "a step in the direction of cleaning up their act." Benson said the Postal Service opens no letters itself, other than mail sent to the dead letter office. But congressmen criticized the agency for its cooperation with customs officials. "I am incensed by the whole policy and the way it is carried out by the Postal Service. This is closing your eyes to what the Customs Service does," said Rep.

Leo J. Ryan, D-Calif. "You have completely abrogated authority over the mail entrusted to you," said Rep. Theodore Weiss, Benson said present customs procedures called for turning over to the Customs Service all mail coming from certain countries. Customs officials, in turn, gave some of the letters to military investigators, who are not legally entitled to them, Benson Chief Postal Inspector C.

Neil Benson told the subcommittee Thursday that customs agents in New York turned some mail over to military investigators who have no legal authority to open it. The postal inspector also told of several incidents where the Customs Service violated legal procedures to open or read some letters, although its legal authority extends only to looking for contraband from abroad. He said in Port Isabel, Texas, customs agents were permitted in 1975 to open domestic first class mail. A customs agent in Hixson, not only opened and read three personal letters in 1975, Benson said, but hired a person to translate them from Chinese. In addition, he said there are several cases each year of theft of mail by customs employes.

She won't say which or for what. Yes, she'll return to Macalester College but she doesn't know when. The Miss America Pageant is not a beauty contest, she said, and everyone seems to harp on that.
