Death Squad Just Joke, He Claims robbery charges and once had robbery charges against him dismissed for lack of evience. His record dated back to 1965, and he served a prison term for illegal drug possession. Haldane was free after serving time for assault with intent to kill. He was arrested by Portland police after a gun battle and the wounding of a man in a quarrel over a girl friend. During hearings before a Civil Service Commission last November, Foster Said, "Every good policeman is frustrated with the criminal justice system and talks of a death squad at one time or another." He described his plan to form the squad as "just a practical joke" and said he would have told the three fellow officers he allegedly tried to recruit that he was joking, but there wasn't time because one of the officers had to go to work.

THE STATE attorney general's office said the indictments were based on Maine common law. He said it has long been against the law to commit murder, so it would be illegal to solicit someone to commit that offense. was arraigned in Cumberland County Superior Court on the indictments, which were returned two weeks ago by a county grand jury. They were not released until Monday. The indictments charge that in June and July, 1974, Foster tried to persuade three other officers to conspire with him to kill Steven Pooler, Mark Everett, Edward Haldane and others.

Everett has a police record dating back to 1964 when he was sentenced to the Boys Training Center for car theft. He was freed last year on burglary charges when the jury became deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial. POOLER WAS once acquitted of PORTLAND, Maine (UPI) A former policeman pleaded Tuesday to charges that he tried to recruit other police officers for a "death squad" to liquidate suspected criminal offenders. According to the indictment, more than three persons were slated for execution. THE EX-POLICEMAN, Edward A.

Foster, 27, was fired from the force last November when his reported involvement with the death squad was disclosed. He was released on his own recogni-' zance after posting $1,000 bail. Foster claimed the death squad idea was a practical joke. The charges in the indictment, "solicitation of conspiracy to murder" and "solicitation to murder," are not covered by any legislation and Foster's attorney moved for dismissal on the grounds they have no basis in statutory law. 0 A fetntinel Wednesday, Oct.

1, 1975 Path Cracked For Pipeline Barge Convoy PRUDHOE BAY, Alaska -The. remnants of the largest civilian barge assault ever on the arctic struggled into the port for North America's biggest oil field Tuesday, its path hacked out by three Coast Guard ships acting under a presidential order. barges carried the 10-story jriodular that will cover the oil wells in the field that is expected to produce 10 billion barrels of crude oil. Without the units, initial production goals for the field in late 1977 could not be attained, oil companies said. NOT surprised, just disappointed," said James Lowe, the man who coordinated this year's annual North Slopes supply run.

'We're about 60 days late." Of the 47 mammoth barges that were loaded in early July to supply the wellhead of the trans-Alaska pipeline, 25 had completed the journey or were about to late Tuesday, The others were beached by a storm, gored by the arctic icepack and finally towed to ports in southern Alaska to unload their cargo for shipment overland. ALL OF the last 15 barges 4 'tiK aI UFOs May Be Angels, Says Graham sightings and the kind of Biblical descriptions of angels that Evangelist Graham refers to in his new book. Angels, he says, have "the ability to change their appearance and shuttle in a flash from heaven to earth and back again." They have "higher knowledge, power and mobility than us" and "become visible when necessary." In such visible form, they are "so glorious and impressively beautiful as to stun and amaze men who witness their presence." "SOME CHRISTIAN writers have speculated that UFOs could very well be part of God's angelic host who preside over the physical affairs of universal creation," Graham says. "While we cannot assert such a view with certainty, many people are now seeking some type of supernatural explanation for these phenomena. (themselves) in forms more suited to our modern minds," noting "a multitude of heavenly visitants registered on the radar of Washington Airport" in 1952.

DRAKE DEVOTES a whole chapter to angels, saying that Biblical reports of angels "shine in startling revelation" when "illumined by our UFO studies." Books like "Those Gods Who Made Heaven and Earth," "The Spaceships of Ezekiel," and "The Unidentified" have continued to spur speculation that UFOs may represent "voices from heaven." The fundamentalist Presbyterian radio preacher Dr. Carl Mc-Intire, of Cape Canaveral, Fla has even set up a 20th Century UFO Bureau to look at possible UFO-Angel connections. MUCH OF the speculation is based on the striking similarities between descriptions of UFO Chicago Tribuni Dlioitch Can unidentified flying objects (UFOs) at least some of them really be heavenly angels? Evangelist Billy Graham thinks they may be. And so do many other writers and commentators. In a new book that began appearing in bookstores last week, Graham says UFOs "are astonishingly angel-like in some of their reported appearances." AND IT'S conceivable that the book "Angels: God's Secret Agents," published by Double-day, could touch off a new wave of speculation over the connection between reports of angelic appearances and sightings of UFOs.

Such contentions have surfaced frequently in recent years in the wake1 of Erich Von Daniken's 1970 work "Chariots of the Gods." W. Raymond Drake contends in his 1974 book "Gods and Spacemen of the Ancient Past" that "choirs of angels now manifest (AP) reaching Prudhoe will remain there through the winter, as the tugs that towed them turn around Immediately for a last dash to warmer waters. More than 500 Coast Guardmen, and at times as many as four Coast Guard vessels, joined the two-month battle against nature after President Ford issued orders on Sept. 4 to do everything possible to help the flotilla. Stonehouse Pays Attention John Stonehouse, British labor Member of Parliament who disappeared in United States last year and reappeared in Australia, listens intently to debate at Labor party conference in Blackpool, England, Tuesday.

Stonehouse is free on bail, pending criminal charges, and Is believed to be planning to speak to the conference about bail law reforms later this week. iB can DIS IF ill mm Check your linen closet and your gift list, stir in a little forethought about your needs for the coming season, let it all jell then come down and shop our great Anniversary sale. ntvrary lilili mjl 1 i fr-trf 1 mil timml 'f fi Hi iff tmH SIZE T0WELS VTI fh STANDARD DACRONPILLOWS IJdCXQfX ''j mi" Martex Sovereign Towels Bath size, usually .4.50 2.99 Luxurious, thick, looped cotton terry with dobby borders.
