Monday at Zion United Methodist Church. SALEM, Ore. (AP)' Ferret Fawcett Majors has changed her name and apparently Is starting a new life somewhere in Salem.

They changed her name to Phyllis, though, when they decided Ferret Fawcett Majors was too long a Htzsimmons strikes back at government and union critics WASHINGTON (AP) Teamsters President Frank Fitzsimmons struck back at the government and union critics Friday, denying allegations of corruption and challenging Investigators to make their charges stick. At a rare news conference, the 70-year-old union chief defended a huge Teamsters pension plan under federal Investigation for alleged mismanagement, rejected charges that the Teamsters are Infiltrated by organized crime and hailed his union as a democractic organization. Asked about criminal elements In the union, Fitzsimmons said: "As I said to (former) Attorney General (Edward) Levl 'If there's racketeering and what not going on in this union, then you, the government and God only knows you have investigated us from top to bottom, from hell to high water go ahead and indict and On the lengthy Labor Department probe into allegedly bad loans and other misuses of the $1.6 billion Central States pension fund, Fitzsimmons said: "It's ironic that government investigators and members of Congress have singled out this plan for Intensive investigation when its record is so admirable." He said several dozen investigators had been granted permission to work out of the pension fund's Chicago offices, but that the fund's trustees recently ordered the investigators to leave. Asked why, he said, "If they couldn't find what they wanted in years, I don't know why we and the government have been paying them for all the time they've been there." Fitzsimmons also defended the high" salaries received by union officials.

Teamster dissidents have complained about Fitzsimmons' pay and salaries paid to more than a dozen other top officials. "I daresay there arc people sitting in this room who are making more money than I am," Fitzsimmons said, glaring at the reporters. "From what I see of what they're (officers) making and the membership they represent and the industries they fight with every day, I don't see anything wrong with the wages they have gotten." The news conference was the first in recent memory by Fitzsimmons, who acknowledged that the union is launching a new image-grooming effort. Fitzsimmons, who has studiously avoided reporters during his 11 years in office, said he beefed up his public relations staff and would meet more frequently with the news media.

A London Financial Times columnist tells why In a story he reported Friday: "A colleague tells me that while caught in a traffic jam at Hyde Park Corner yesterday he shouted to the driver of the car beside him: 'Drives you mad, doesn't 1 the other driver shouted back, 'but what can one "'Write to your member of my colleague suggested.

It can put It back on a jury level and let some citizens have a say In It." Participants In Megcnlty's training sessions are exposed to a blend of pop psychology and consensus politics. They are divided into affinity groups, composed of "people who understand their reason for being there and who trust each other," he explained. From there, they engage In role- playing, reacting to situations posed by the trainers. The first is known as the elephant walk. In which participants arc blindfolded and led through a maze by group leaders using sounds not words as signals.

"Then a couple of provocateurs come In and knock them down and break the line apart. And those signals have to sec the game through," Megenlty said. "They have to understand the logistics of pulling off a direct action. If you went to a nuclear plant, you'd be like you were blind, because you wouldn't know what to expect." Then the students arc faced with logistic problems: what to do If someone sprains an ankle at a demonstration; If an argument breaks out between protesters; If a demonstrator Is beaten during the course of an arrest. They must think fast; the solutions are due In a matter of seconds.

And there Is no majority rule; there must be consensus among all the members of the group on every decision. Megen- lly says that eliminates the problem of splintering in a real demonstration. Mcgcnity's sessions arc not only designed to train participants In non-violence but also to expose anyone who might have trouble with the peaceful approach to protest. "Some of them arc inclined to a violent action. They have romantically entertained the idea of sabotage," he said.

"But It comes out In the role playing. It's hard to control." The strategy faces Its first test on Saturday, when the Paddlewhecl Alliance stages a demonstration at Madison, a city near the plant site In southern Indiana. Megenlty won't disclose how many people are expected "you never tell that. But we'd like to sec a lot of people, of course." Currently, the Paddlewhecl Alliance has no plans to demonstrate at the Marble Hill site Itself. "It could be very risky," he said.

"Those workers have a lot to lose if that plant gets closed down. For them, It's a job, It's food on the table, It's Sf 'u 0 famllles backs. It's a real gut feeling on both sides." Mcgcnity said opposing nuclear power Isn't just a left-wing 8 cause! It cuts across all political lines. In fact, American Legion and the city 01 1 't Joined the. Paddlewhccl, Alliance to protest a nuclear dumping site In southern Indiana, he said.

"The Energy Research arid Development Association was doing core drilling for a large radioactive waste facility 12 miles from here. The plans were well-fabricated for a high-level dump site that would accept a third of the nation's nuclear waste," he said. "It's scary when you think about It so close to home." To express Its displeasure, Megen- lty said, the American Legion displayed this message on a sign outside Its post: "No nuke puke in Tell City." Taiwan (Continued from Page One) However, the grain company official said Koppcl probably will use Nebraska corn since the firm will ship its products to the West Coast for shipment to Taiwan. The official said Continental would be" more likely to use Indiana grain because Its shipments will travel through Gulf ports. However, he said there.

Is no guarantee that the grain won't come from other states. Shao said his delegation spent' about $600,000 more than planned during Friday's bidding session. "The price of corn seems to be- unusually high," he said, adding that his delegation agreed to spend the extra money because It was their first trip to Indiana and because Indianapolis and Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, were made sister cities Friday.
