Maho Free Press 4 The News-Tribune. Thursday, July Storm victims may get relief through $1.7 billion program SAN CLEMENTE, a i (UPI)-President Nixon has proposed a $1.7 billion program, calling it the richest disaster relief purse ever, to give $5,000 grants and loans at 1 per cent interest to victims of tropical storm Agnes. "Confronted with so massive 4 a disaster emergency, our response must also be massive," Nixon said, "Conscience demands it; humanity impels it." The floods caused by Agnes devastated areas of Eastern states. Residents of six states- New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida-would be eligible for the disaster relief, if passed by Congress. Nixon called it "the largest single amount ever allocated to recovery efforts in this country." He said it is needed to ameliorate the suffering caused by "the worst natural disaster in the whole of America's history." Under the proposal, announced in i five minute radio speech Wednesday, more than 120,000 homeowners and small businessmen were wiped out by the floods would be eligible for grants of $5,000 each.

An estimated 115 homeowners and 6,000 small business owners would be eligible for the disaster relief. The first $5,000 would be an outright grant, and sums above that amount could be repaid over a 30 year period, at 1 per cent interest. The President's proposal was a substantial liberalization of existing disaster relief regulations. It doubles the current provision for $2,500 grants, and would haul interest rates dora from per cent. There earlier had been widespread criticism that relief efforts fell far short of what was needed, a criticism to which the President was especially sensitive in this election year.

Kore than $100 million has already been spent on flood relief, and the President recently signed a measure authorizing another $200 million, said Press Secretory Ronald Ziegler. More than 80 persons died, and about 126,000 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, by the massive floods set off by Agnes, which poured down torrential rains as il moved up tlit East Coast from the Florida Panhandle last month. Nixon said he would request the new legislation when Congress reconvenes July 17. He also announced that a meeting of about 300 mayors and local governmental leaders would be held next Friday in Washington to expedite the delivery of federal relief services.

(UPI Photo) Meat price leveling predicted by Shultz -WASHINGTON (UPI) -Treasury Secretary Shultz says increased imports of beef and veal should bring about a leveling of meat prices in August. Shultz said it was "very heartening" that foreign producers which supply about 75 per cent of American meat imports estimated they could increase shipments the next months. Representatives of 12 meat exporting nations met Wednesday with Shultz, Acting Secretary of State John N.

Irwin and other administration offi- In return for increasing exports to the United States, the nations would get preferential treatment when quotas are set for 1973. "This government when it 1973 quotas will loosen the quotas for those who help us in 1972," State Department spokesman Charles W. Bray ID said. Shultz said that Australia, for instance, agreed to increase its shipments from 5,200 tons of meat a week to 8,000 or 10,000 tons. Besides Australia, other nations represented were New Zealand, Mexico, Ireland, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic and Haiti.

The prices most likely to be affected directly, Shultz said, are for hamburger, hot dogs and processed meats. But he said reduced prices on these products may ease consumer demand for better cuts and bring those prices down too. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) --Bobby Fischer, already one game down in his drive for the world chess championship, today threatened to walk out on the second match with titleholder Boris Spassky unless all television cameras are removed from the hall. Fischer's demands were pre. sented by Fred Cramer, a vice president of U.S.

Chess Federation, at a closed meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the Icelandic organizers and representatives of U.S. companies owning the television rights to the match, international chess sources said. The referee of the match, Germany's Lothar Schmid, said Fischer will lose the second game by default if he does not turn up for the scheduled 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EOT) start today.

Schmid also said organizers will not keep spectators from the first two rows of seats in the hall as they did during the first game onFischer's request The 29-year-old New Yorker out for 35 minutes Wednesday to protest two television a a hidden above the stage where the players sit at the chess board for their championship match, scheduled to run a maximum of 24 games. Although he' went into the much-postponed first game a heavy favorite, Fischer made what appeared to be a beginner's error and went down to defeat at the hands of the 35- year-old Soviet world champion. The moment of truth was painful, Fischer rose from the massive mahogany chess table, made helpless gesture and resigned at the 56th move. Before stomping out of the hall, he reached over to shake Spassky's hand. Fischer obviously was upset but Cramer, who is a member of the American's camp, said "he is a pro and this is part of the game.

.1 believe he has got enough to come back in the match. After all, there are 23 possible games left." Fischer locked himself into his hotel suite with his second, Father William Lonibardy, a Catholic priest who is a grandmaster, to analyze the lost game and prepare for today's encounter. Gong members indicted tor rape OAKLAND (UPI) Thirteen motorcycle gang members from Oakland, Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, were indicted Wednesday for a July 4 mass rape of two teen-aged girls from Victoria, B.C. The two 17-year-old girls, on a tour of America as a high school graduation present from one of their parents, were homeward bound for Canada from the Big Sur area when they took a wrong turn off a freeway going through Oakland. They were looting for a motel for the night, but the area they found themselves in had no motels.

Instead, at the first stop sign in the district, according to testimony presented to the Alameda county grand jury, the girls said they were surrounded by a group of motorcycle riders, one of whose members jumped into their car with a. huntiilg knife and forced them to drive to a clubhouse. There, they told the jury, they were repeatedly raped from 11 p.m., July 3, until 3:30 a.rn., July 4, before they were released. They said they then found a motel and called police. The next morning, after they had been released from the hospital, the girls showed police the house where the incident allegedly happened.

It was staked out and the girls identified each of their assaulters as he came out the front door. The man with the knife was not among them and police are still looking for him. Alamsda County Deputy District Attorney Wright Morton said the following members of the Sundowner motorcycle gang of Utah were charged with sex crimes: Billie Burton 23; David C. Murphy, 24, and John Dewitt, 23, all of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Duane H. Lahey, 31; Wayne A.

Meyer, 23; Jack M. Jendrin, 24, and Vance A. Somraers, 20, all of Ogden, Utah. They were held in lieu of $100,000 bail each and will be arraigned later. Dear Heloise: I am so thrilled over the use of the new iron-on interfacing for dressmaking that I want to share a couple of things I discovered for myself about its use.

Instead of cutting out the pattern completely and sewing it in as I would with ordinary interfacing pieces, I trimmed off the seam allowances completely. That eliminated any added bulk in the already thick seams. On the next garment, I decided to cut the pieces out by the seam line on the pattern and thus save on material since it is rather expensive. This offers an added bonus for i i a because when you iron on the interfacing to the garment (minus the seam allowance) it gives you a perfect line to follow when stitching the seam. And, of course, this adds up to a better fitting garment! On the third garment, I decided to try other uses and found that instead of stitching the back side of the "pleats" on bound buttonholes, I simply laid down the pleats permanently.

I placed a narrow strip of the adhesive interfacing across each end after the pleats were formed. Then I ironed it down to the inside of the garment. I also discovered that I could use narrow strips to hold the hem of the suit coat since it would be covered with the lining when finished. Much better than putting in the hem with tiny stitches that just might show, and, oh, how much faster! And much better than just basting the hem in to be joined by the lining depending on a good press job to give a nice finish to the bottom edge! Of course, I bad used, a (straight to interface the Attorn jdge too, and the whole suit turned out to be more professionally tailored than any of the many suits and coats I have ever made. I'm sure I will find many more uses for this iron-on fabric, but I just couldn't wait to share these ideas.

Mrs. Lurlie Allen Promise when you discover more we'll be the first to know. Heloise LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: I'm 36 years old, have a husband, three teenage children and just graduated from a school of practical nursing. I had been out of school for 17 years so you know it 'wasn't easy, Heloise. First of all, I had the help and encouragement of my family, but aside from this, the 'secret' of my schooling success was not setting too-long-range goals.

I thought about and planned for one day at a time. I found that when you do your best for that day, the reward of being prepared for the next will encourage you to keep up. I think you'll find that if you budget your time a bit, you'll be surprised at how little time is actually spent on studying, and that the "thinking" about getting started takes more time than the actual doing.

Dear Dr. Thosteson: Is there any danger in eating "too much" spinach? My parents tell me it may cause kidney stones. Is this true or is it merely a rumor? If it is a feet, I'd be interested in the reason. I vaguely remember reading that spinach is the best vegetable a person can eat tor all- around health. I'm 17 and a senior in high school.

K.R.S. I'm going to take a firm position somewhere in the middle. Spinach as well as other greens contains oxalic Some kidney stones consist of oxalates (salts of oxalic acid). So if a person happend to be a stone-former of the oxalate type (there are other kinds of kidney stones, too, you see), then he ought to avoid spinach and other foods high in oxalic add. (Rhubarb and chocolate are a couple of others.) Bat if somebody doesn't show any tendency toward forming 02- alate stones, why worry about it? Anyway, food isn't the sole factor in kidney stones.

Ample fluid intake keeps the urine dilute, inhibiting stones. Andheal. thy kidneys, without infection, are much less likely to have stones. There probably areother factors, but the chemistry of the human body is a very com. plicated matter.

I'll dispute yourIdeathatspin- ach "is the best vegetable you can eat." Being a green, leafy vegetable, it has its values in providing minerals and vitamins. One serving of some green leafy vegetable per dayisapreU ty valid rule of diet, but doesn't have to he spinach, I don't, in fact, know just how spinach got so famous in the first place. But then Topeye in Die comic strip popularized spin- ach (would the word be "Popeye- uralized" But it doesn't contain any magic properties. I enjoy a mess of spinach now and then, bull can take it or leave it alone. Eat It you like it, but don't expect it to make you super-healthy.

And don't be afraid of it unless you turn out to be an oxalate stone- former. Which you probably won't. Dear Dr. Thosteson: What is the danger, if any, to the unborn baby of a mother exposed to a bella? There seems to be conflicting Mrs. D.D.

There was concern that such a situation might be dangerous for the baby, but I believe this worry has been dissipated by studies at Western Reserve Un. iversity. That study indicated that the danger is minimal if any. If the mother has already had rubella (German measles), there is certainly no risk. If she isn't sure, this can be determined by what is called the HI test.

4- Dear Dr. Thosteson: I recently purchased some furnace air filters treated with hexachlorophene. In view of the wain- ings of the Food and Drug Administration about soaps and deodorants containing hexa. chlorophene, do you think it would be safe to use these JU- I doubt that any danger exists. The FDA warning involved direct application to the skin (the possibility of absorption into the system through the sMn)andwas primarily concerned with use with infants, particularly repeated, full-body bathing, or ab- sorpUon through broken skin.

You might, as a secondcteck, ask the dealer whether any warnings have been issued about use in such filters, but I have not heard of any. How to get rid of leg cramps and foot pains?
