Sentinel 10 A Sunday, June 10, 1973 Southern Bell Loans Channel 9 Small Tower Crowds, President Gone But Memory Lingers On why they weren't getting a picture. The switchboard was being manned 24 hours a day indefinitely to handle calls. The extra time created by the loss of the tower is being used to carry out routine maintenance and for production purposes, such as taping shows by people who will be going on vacation later in the summer. Tangled Leash, Panicking Dog End Boy's Life EVANS CITY, Pa. UP) A two-year-old boy playing with the family dog apparently became entangled in the animal's chain and in panic the pet killed the tot.

Authorities said Peter T. Williams had apparently toddled over to the dog on Friday to pat him on the head. The animal described as a mixed breed about the size of a collie jumped on the child in excitement and knocked him to the ground Suddenly Peter became entangled by the neck in the animal's chain. Fighting Peter's weight the dog first lunged away then turned on the boy. Peter died within seconds as his mother Charlene Williams and a neighbor worked frantically to free him officials said.

"The dog was as friendly as they come" said Coroner William F. Young Jr. "We think he just panicked. There's no indication that the dog went berserk or anything resembling that." Young ruled the death accidental. The dog was quarantined for observation.

WMFE-TV, Channel 24, was installing antennas for Central Florida's Public Broawcasting System affiliate, as well. WDBO returned to the air Saturday afternoon by switching operations to its old towers on Texas Avenue near West Colonial Drive. DWIZ will be off the air indefinitely. "We're endeavoring to erect some sort of temporary structure to restore service for Channel 9," said Walter Windsor, general manager of the ABC network affiliate.

"WE WEIGHED all the considerations very quickly and decided it was in the public interest to help Channel 9 restore service," Bell spokesman Spearman said, noting the emergency restoration project was the same as efforts which normally follow loss of communication towers to storm winds. Spearman said the movable tower could be in place by 9 p.m. Saturday and Channel 9 is expected to return to the air today, serving at least a portion of its broadcast area. The tower provided television to a wide area of Central Florida. RICHARD GLEICK, Channel 9 promotion director, said all advertisers have been contacted and the station expected little or no permanent loss of business.

"Of course some of the advertisers have gone to other stations; you can't really blame them. But they have assured us they will return when the station is back on the air." Gleick said no layoffs were expected, although some of the staff were taking vacations early. HE SAID THE station has received more than 1,000 calls since the tower went down, 200 Saturday morning. Most of the callers wanted to know From Page 1 FIVE hundred university employes, given the morning off with pay, returned to duty at 1 p.m. and in two hours had the campus as tidy as ever.

Tht total cost to the school of the President's visit and graduation was placed at $4,725. The White House and news media paid their own way for such incidentals as special telephone installations. Orange County Sheriff Mel Col-man said the deputies he sent to the campus were all off-duty and volunteered their services for the occasion. "I asked them to do it and they did," he said. "They were proud to do it and pleased to donate their time.

Maybe we'll make it up to them in compensatory time, but we don't pay overtime." ENGERT SAID no tab was kept of which VIPs attended and which ones didn't. He said VIP tickets were available prior to the commencement exercises but it was not known which ones were used. Gov. Reubin Askew did not attend. Engert said school officials, to his knowledge, received no word from Askew's office one way or the other on the invitation.

Dr. Charles Millican, whose plans to go fishing Friday afternoon following the most publicized morning of his life were squashed by a thunderstorm, could not be reached Saturday. ONE OF THE President's most avid supporters, Air Force Maj. Bangladesh River Boat Sinks 00 Feared Dead DACCA, Bangladesh Almost 100 persons were reported missing and feared dead today after a river boat collided with another launch and sank. Reports reaching here said the M.S.

Rupali going to Barisol in southern Bangladesh, sank within seconds after collision in the Dhale-wari River near Munshiganj, 30 miles south of Dacca. ABOUT 200 passengers on the M.S. Rupali reached shore safely. The other launch was not Glendon W. Perkins of Orlando, returned after six years as a prisoner of war, attended another a a tion Saturday his son's, Paul, at Colonial High School.

Perkins said, after attending the FTU address, that were it not for President Nixon, "I'd still be there (in Hanoi)." The major, 38, is enrolling at FTU history and business administration. 1 In Melbourne, 20 students of the W. J. Creel Elementary School who attended FTU's commencement were the envy of their neighborhood chums. FOR THREE YEARS they had been asking Mr.

Nixon to visit their' school. He never made it. So they visited him. "I wrote and asked him to come down and said that our school was patriotic," said Matthew Pinto 11, a fifth grader. "He wrote back and said he was too busy." "Boy, I never thought I'd get to see him.

It doesn't matter to me what he has to say." 1 FTU officials learned of the students' history of presidential invitations and invited them to visit him instead. They heard a confident and optimistic President tell FTU's more than 700 graduates that the problems of inflation, energy and environment are temporary and that the nation has the genius to solve them. MR. NIXON recounted achievements of his administration in the Vietnam cease-fire and diplomatic inroads in Red China and the Soviet Union. The President did not mention the Watergate scandal.

He went on to praise Republican Congressman Lou Frey Jr. of Winter Park as "one of the brightest stars in the American political scene." Only a few protest signs were spotted at the commencement exercises. At Key Biscayne Saturday, Mr. Nixon kept in touch by cables with Dr. Henry Kissinger, representing the United States in talks with North Vietnam's Le Due Tho on strengthening the cease-fire.

In Paris, American officials said Kissinger and Tho were close to agreeing on a joint proposal. The President worked in his study consulting with his new chief of staff Gen. Alexander M. Haig Jr. (Sentinel Star Photo By Frank Russell) NIXON WAVES AS HE ENTERS HELICOPTER FOLLOWING SPEECH President flew to Key Biscayne after leaving FTU of Nixon's stay was a proclamation designating June 14 as Flag Day to mark the day in 1777 when Congress decided on the nation's first flag.

Nixon noted the constellation of stars has expanded to 50 but "the flag we revere today has changed very little in the intervening 196 years. It continues to represent our common devotion to the principles of freedom and quality which have sustained Americans ever since those uncertain days when independence was yet to be won." Haig formerly was deputy to national security adviser Kissinger. "I can't see any major developments at this point" Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren told newsmen. He said he did not know whether Kissinger will come here to see Nixon.

LATE FRIDAY afternoon the President went for an hour's ride on Biscayne Bay on the houseboat of his friend C. G. "Bebe" Rebozo. The Vietnam document was termed by officials in Paris as "an attempt to explain or bring about the implementation of the existing agreement." Sources in Saigon said that South Vietnam's President Nguyen Van Thieu feels he is being pressured by the United States into a political understanding with Hanoi that he doesn't want.
