A spokesman said there were no definite plans and officials want to see how the new lottery system actually works before deciding whether changes are needed in the monthly allocation method. Critics have expressed fears that local conditions could cause some draft boards to reach high up the list of lottery numbers established in a drawing here Dec. 1, while other boards still are tapping lower numbers. At present, the Defense Department sets a yearly quota of National- (Continued from Page 1) terday with friends, like I do in gin or on playing in a golf game.

"So does everyone else," Dean said denying any further links with gambling. Lindstrom was the only one of 10 arrested outside Michigan. He was arraigned Friday and was released after posting $10,000 bond. He was described as a retired real estate man. In Michigan eight persons were arrested in the Detroit area and another man in Lansing, about 70 miles northwest of Detroit.

All 10 were charged with "use of interstate communications facilities in furtherance of gambling" and with conspiracy to violate federal gambling records, Brickley said $450,000 in cashier's and business checks were confiscated at a suburban Birmingham motel where Donald J. Dawson, 48, was arrested. He was described as a restaurant operator. Agents also seized a car when Dawson was arrested. James E.

Ritchie, an assistant U.S. attorney working with Brickley expanded on the statement that national sports figures could be implicated. "Statements made by some of those arrested and seized records indicate a national scheme involving famous figures in baseball and football and hundreds of trainers and jockeys at race tracks throughout the United States," Ritchie said. Spokesmen for professional baseball and football deferred comment until a report was made available to them. A spokesman for the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau said federal authorities would have to name jockeys and trainers allegedly involved before he could comment.

Enemy- (Continued from Page 1) spokesman said today. The attack was the most costly incident during the allied New Year's truce. The officer was not identified. The U.S. Command reported three significant incidents Friday inside the demilitarized zone, the first since last Dec.

1. A U.S. light observation plane on a reconnaissance mission over the southern half of the DMZ was hit by machine-gun fire and a South Vietnamese ar. mored cavalry unit was shelled twice. A spokesman said there were no American or South Vietnamese casualties.

The aircraft returned to its base safely. The enemy mortar positions that fired 20 shells into the South Vietnamese armored column were located within 600 yards of each other just inside the southern half of the DMZ, In both cases U.S. Army artillery returned the fire, silencing the mortars, the U.S. Command said, Enemy losses were not known. The U.S.

Command said there were 17 enemy rocket and mortar attacks throughout South Vietnam during the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. today, but only five of the attacks caused casualties or damage. All of ohe casualties were Vietnamese. In the most significant of the attacks, South Vietnamese headquarters said four mortar shells hit a civilian hospital in the provincial capital of My Tho, 34 miles southwest of Saigon. Three civilians were reported killed and 17 wounded.

The U.S. Command announced that Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, U.S. commander in Vietnam, was released from the hospital today and was completely cured of pnumonia.

Prosecutor injured in auto bombing MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) Gov. Arch A. Moore's office said today dozens of state investigators and FBI agents are teaming up in a massive attempt to find those responsible for maiming Joseph Laurita Monongalia County's prosecutor, in an automobile bombing.

Laurita, 32, his wife and their three small children were being guarded to prevent any attempt on their lives. A bomb ripped through 9 the front of Laurita's car at 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 a.m. Friday as he started it in front of his home on the outskirts of this northern West Virginia City, Laurita, who campaigned vigorously against criminal elements since he took office early last year, was hospitalized with a fractured right leg, shrapnel wounds along the right side and injuries to his right arm, He was reported in fair condition today, after four hours of surgery. Gov. Moore, State Police Supt, R.L.

Bonar and Moore's top executive aide, Norman Yost, flew to Morgantown Friday. They met with local and federal authorities and drafted a "team approach" to the crime, a spokesman said. Bits and pieces of what appeared to be a blasting cap and wire were found near the car and were taken to the state's crime laboratory in Charleston. Since taking office, Laurita has had six convictions in narcotics cases, closed six private liquor clubs for liquor law violations and has obtained several gambling convictions. Hijacked- (Continued from Page 1) maintenance equipment for the French-built airliner is available.

From there, he said, it would continue to Cuba. The five young revolutionaries dropped a note from the cockpit. it said: "We are going to Cuba, having among other missions, one to escort two children of 2 and 3 years of a combatant who today is under arrest and tortured in Brazil." The message said the mother of the two children was aboard but it added that she, like 1 the hijackers, would return to "fight i in Brazil" after reaching Cuba. Neither the children, the mother nor the father were identified. The message said the revolutionaries were members of the Palmares Armed Revolutionary Vanguard, a movement described as being opposed to the Brazil's military regime.

A shortened version of the group's name from Portuguese is VarPalmares. plane had 23 passengers when it took off Thursday from Montivideo, Uruguay, for Rio de Janeiro. The hijackers took control soon afterward, but allowed two elderly passengers with heart trouble to get off when the plane arrived in Buenos Aires, the first stop. The plane took on fuel at the Argentine airport, then left for Antofagasta, Chile, where it was refueled again. After landing and refueling in Lima Thursday night, the pilot was able to start one engine with an emergency starter.

There was no equipment at the airport so the necessary part was flown in from Chile. The airliner is owned by the Brazilian airline Cruzeiro do Sul, which means Southern Cross. School- (Continued from Page 1) meeting Monday night to discuss the addition of grades nine through 12. "The Improve Academy located in the Improve Baptist Church will begin enrolling students in grades one through eight on Monday morning and plans are underway for private schools in the West Marion and Hub areas. "Although the private schools are not church-sponsored as such, many of the churches are supporting the endeavor and classes will be held in church facilities.

"The Marion County erial which is supporting the HEW plan would give the opinion to the public through the public media that it is a large and influential group, but to the contrary it is a fact that this group probably does not consist of more than 15 members." Rochester has two mayors and Councils ROCHESTER, N. Y. (AP) Michael W. Roche who was elected to the City Council last November has two homes. As a result, Rochester now has two mayors and two City Councils.

The government turmoil apparently will have to be settled in court. Roche's election gave the Republicans a 5-4 majority on the council, but Democrats charged Roche lived in an apartment in suburban Chili, not in Rochester. Roche, 32, a teacher in the Gates-Chili District, says the apartment is just a weekend retreat and his legal residence is at the home of his parents in Rochester. The dual government developed Friday when the council met to organize. Roche took his oath of office, but his name wasn't mentioned in the first roll call.

Last January 19 financial institutions were robbed; then a bank robber was sentenced to 45 years-to-life and another one had his bail fixed at $250,000. Statistics released by Wilson show that bank robberies dropped to two the next month. At year's end the bank robbery total stood at only 50 compared with 102 in 1968, President Nixon's proposed legislation for controlling crime in the District, already approved by the Senate, is awaiting action in the House. It calls for court reform and new wiretap and search warrant powers. Rites he'd for Mrs.

Oberst men to be drafted, then issues monthly calls aimed at eventually filling that quota. The monthly Pentagon calls are divided up among the states by the national Selective Service headquarters; state directors then further allocate the calls to each local board. At both levels, the allocation is proportional to the number of men in each state's or local board's draft pool--that is, the number of men who are classified 1-A or 1-A-0 and have been examined and qualified for service. The change being considered would allow state directors to ignore strict proportionality among local boards month-bymonth, and distribute draft calls in some way that would keep all boards calling up roughly the same lottery numbers at the same time, Each board would, however, still provide a proportional share of the manpower based on its draft pool, because it would be given an annual quota to meet- over the whole year, proportional allocation would still be respected. Burglars- (Continued from Page 1) Apparently the thugs were alerted when they heard Herrington leave the drug store to make his tour of inspection.

Investigating officers theorized that the drug store burglars, to make such a bold move so early in the evening, could have been hurting for narcotics. The area was still quite busy at the time, people attending the motion picture, still others strolling on the sidewalk, car-traffic quite brisk. Police reported another local burglary effort failed during the night, this one at Lovitt Equipment Co. on Bouie where a pane was broken from a window and the window opened and propped open. Police discovered the broken window at 1:43 a.m.

The burglar must have been scared off earlier because officers found no one in the place. Swan- (Continued from Page 1) Mississippi believe today." He told the crowd the threat of the "plot" was not limited to the schools. "Black Muslims are buying up 2,000 acres in the delta right now. They're buying it under the guise of Progressive Development Co. out of England." Swan, a former disc jockey and country music singer, said he resigned his job with a Laurel radio station New Year's Day to devote his full time to his political efforts.

Three other speakers joined Swan on the platform. Dr. William K. Scarborough, a professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, voiced the U.S. Supreme Court may soon also order private schools desegregated and defended charges of attempting to destroy public schools.

"To those who charge we are destroying the public school system, I answer It's not us, it's them. "To those who say public schools must be preserved at all costs, I say they will not be worth preserving." Charles Wade of Hattiesburg, president of the Citizens for Local Control of Education, told the audience a recent one-day boycott of Forrest County schools was 90-95 per cent effective in all but three schools. "We're not fighting integration," Wade said. "It's here and we might as well accept it." When the newly integrated Forrest County schools reopen Wednesday, he said, his group plans to send their children back to their original schools in defiance of the court-ordered desegregation plan. Elmore D.

Greaves of Jackson, editor of the Southern Review, explained some of the principles of the Southern National Party. "We pledge ourselves to the noble principles ordained for all free men by God and especially the southern patriots and heroes in the war for independence." Among the aims of the SNP, he said, are the nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution and the limitation of the appellate powers of the U.S. Supreme Court. the old administration, and Democratic Mayor Frank T. Lamb, as the presiding, officer, refused to recognize Roche.

The council's first vote was whether Roche's name should be called. Roche shouted his vote without being recognized. The Democrats recorded the vote as a 4-4 tie. The Republicans recorded it as 5 to 4 in their favor. Rochester's council elects the mayor.

The Republicans claimed to have elected Councilman Stephen May mayor by a 5-4 vote. Lamb said the vote was 4 to 4, and he was still mayor. Lamb recessed the meeting and the Democrats walked out. The Republicans stayed on, saying. Mayor-elect May had not called a recess.

The Republicans continued the meeting, recording with each motion that the Democrats did not vote. After the Republicans ended their meeting, the Democrats returned and adjourned theirs. When Roche's two residences became known after the election, the Democrats sought in U.S. District Court to have his election voided. They were tuned down but appealed to the 4th U.S.

Salvador E. Luria, a 1969 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, says he applauds the decision by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to relax security procedures for time advisers that led to unofficial blacklists. Luria, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is known to be one of an estimated several hundred prominent scientists on HEW blacklists. The department announced Friday that it was dismantling the elaborate security clearance procedures for part-time advisers and consultants that led to keeping unofficial blacklists of politically suspect scientists. "There should be no criteria for clearance investigations for any job with the government except for those that have sensitive reasons for national Luria said.

He urged that other government agencies take similar action. Under the new procedures, the HEW office of Internal Security no longer has power to bar scientists from department advisory panels through preappointment investigation of suitability and loyalty. Sole authority to appoint advisers on the basis of professional suitability and competence now lies with agency heads, with the approval of the HEW secretary. Now the prospective adviser need only submit three references and sign the standard loyalty affidavit required of all federal employes. In Denver, Dr.

(AP Wirephoto by cable from Tel Aviv) Bitter cold tightens grip on midcontinent tightens midcontinent By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bitter cold weather intensified its grip on the midcontinent today and there was little prospect of an early warmup.

A separate, but equally severe, pocket of arctic cold remained centered over snow-laden sections of northern New York and New England, Temperatures fell below freezing in 44 of the 48 adjacent states during the night. Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina had chilly spots but remained above freezing. The Mercury toppled below zero in 10 states well before daylight. These included Nevada, Colorado, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. Readings near zero extended deep into the cental Plains and across much of the Midwest.

In its immediate outlook, the Weather Bureau said temperature changes nationwide should be minor. Occasional snow or flurries fell from the Plains to the southern and central Appalachians. Travelers warnings were issued for mountain areas of Northeastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia due to snow. Locally heavy snow plastered some Eastern Shore communities along Lake Michigan, Five inches fell at Muskegon, in a few hours. Upwards of 12 inches piled up there during Friday.

Drizzle dampened coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest, and showers also sprinkled parts of Florida. Temperatures before dawn ranged from 20 below zero Sioux Falls, S.D., to 75 at Key West, Fla.

Prugh, who led the fight to change the system, said "HEW is to be congratulated in its move to eliminate unconstitutional and inappropriate types of investigation. "It (the blacklist) not only deprived the government of the services of Dr. Luria and others, but it was also unjust, unfair and provided no legal redress," he said.

Should a question of loyalty or suitability arise under the new system, the nominee would have the right to challenge the evidence against him, a right, previously denied.
