The demonstrators were scheduled to arrive at another park outside Washington by nightfall. They will take their protest to Capitol Hill Saturday. State troopers said the 500 marchers were accompanied by 110 vehicles, two ambulances and two busses. They were escorted by more than a dozen state police down the slow lane of U.S. 29.

The Indians left Patapsco State Park about 9 a.m. after a four-day encampment there. They will stage their Saturday protest from West Greenbelt Park. As many as 800 Indians gathered at Patapsco, with more than 80 tribes represented in the march that started last winter in San Francisco. When they get to Washington, the Indians plan to plead their case: to seek lost lands, to reck aim water and fishing rights, to be given the right of sovereignty FCC Clears Way For New TV Station By KENNETH B.

DALECKI Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The way has been cleared for another commercial television station in Salisbury. Starting Aug. 21, the Federal Communications Commission will accept applications, from broadcasters license to telecast over UHF Channel 47. The- FCC's broadcast bureau approved the assignment of Channel 47 to Salisbury on July 6. Its action was announced this week.

MDV Television Co. Inc. of Bethesda, Md. asked the FCC to make in the channel assignment and firm will apply for a license to use it. There was no opposition to the channel assignment, although the Association of Maximum Service Telecasters a broadcasters organization, successfully argued that the FCC should require the successful license applicant to build the new television broadcast tower a sufficient distance away from a station in Wildwood, N.J., to prevent interference.

The FCC will also require the licensee to deviate slightly from the Channel 47 frequency to avoid interference with a Channel 47 assigned to Rocky N.C. The Rocky Mount channel, is not currently in use. Salisbury presently has one commercial and one educational UHF television station, but MDV successfully argued that the Delmarva Peninsula would benefit from a third television outlet. Anyone may apply for a license to use the new channel, but so far only MDV has shown an interest in doing so, If there is no competition for the license, and if MDV's application is unchallenged and shows the company has the financial and technical ability to operate a station, a construction permit could be approved by the FCC by the end of this year. After construction of the station, the FCC would approve broadcast testing and finally a license, which would be subject to renewal every three years.

Samuel Sady, head of the FCC's television aplications branch, met Wednesday with three members of the Citizen's Committee for the expansion of Commercial Television in Delaware, which is seeking greaterup television coverage for southern Delaware. "They're very happy with this proposition," Sady said. "They're happy with what MDV proposes to do in their However, Sady said the committee members expressed concern about a possible challenge to the MDV license application which could significantly delay the start of broadcasting.

Basically, the department farmers will harvest a record 1.8 billion bushels of soybeans and a similar amount of wheat. Corn production was estimated at 6.1 billion bushels, which would be the third largest crop on record. Grain specialists felt the government's figures on per acre yields were particularly optimistic, considering late spring plantings and vulnerability to early frost damage. The item that raised the most consternation, though, was the department's minor decrease of estimated soybean stocks at the end of the season.

RUBIN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Justice Department is getting out of the topless go-go business.

The department on Friday turned over control of the Lone Star Beef House, a topless gogo bar located two blocks from the department, to the General Services Administration. The department recommended that the GSA try to sell the restaurant.

"The end of an era is at hand." The Indians in the march are a diverse group, but the diversity is deceiving. Despite different backgrounds and ages, the Indians have been brought together on the march by what they describe as a newfound spirituality, an inner peace deriving from the Great Spirit.

I'm not going to look into it. You can go look into it." The Justice Department has been helping to run the Lone Star for the past five months as a result of the prosecution of its former owner, William Sibert, who was caught embezzling more than $856,000 while working at the Transportation Department. Sibert, a Clinton, resident who later pleaded guilty to fraud and was sentenced to six years in prison, bought the Lone Star for $80,000 during a wild But their survival depends on more than that. taken away our total land base and put us on reservations, and they want to take that." said Peters, their spiritual leader.

The government has been running the bar with a private partner, H. Eugene Young, a former car salesman whom Sibert brought into the business. Mark Sheehan, a Justice Department spokesman, said stock certificates for the Lone Star were delivered by messenger Friday to the GSA regional headquarters. Galuardi said the bar and grill, which features dancers who wear nothing more than G- strings, would probably be treated as a piece of excess property and would be placed on the market.

Rep. Donald Lynch Retiring After 6 Years By WAYNE NOBLE Of The Times Staff SELBYVILLE "Some say politics is an ego trip. I've enjoyed that ego," says retiring state Rep.

Donald J. Lynch of Selbyville, After serving six years in the Delaware General Assembly "it gets tiresome and you get stretched out," the 55 year old conservative Democrat explained. "I have a business run and a life to live," Lynch said, in citing those reasons for his retirement. The state represenhe also hoped to do some fishing, hunting and become engaged in more outdoor activitites now that he is retiring from the state legislature. "It's been a wonderful experience working in state government.

More people should get involved in politics," he asserted. The most gratifying aspect of serving in the legislature, Lynch remarked, was getting legisation passed which benefited the people of his district, such as money for the purchase of a bookmobile or funds to improve roads. "The most frustrating part about serving in state government is being called a he commented. During his tenure in the legislature, the state representative said he hasn't very many seen dishonest hasn't very many politicans. course.

they're (politicians) all not angels. But, know there are honest people in politics," Lynch contended. SERVING IN the state according to Lynch. "I can't legislature is a full: time job, how a person can be in the legislature and hold down a job." he said. If it had not been for competent people running his business, he would not have been able to serve in the legislature, he added.

Serving as chairman of the House Education Committee for the past four years, Lynch has been concerned about how the inplementation of the New Castle County desegregation plan this fall will affect Sussex County. "It's a very frustrating Kent Counties help problem because, Sussex, and pay the bill for desegregation in New Castle he said. "We had the problem in Sussex about 10 years ago, but nobody helped us pay the bill." Lynch believes the desegregation and consolidation of schools in New Castle County into two school districts is the first step toward a county school system in the state. But the Selbyville businessman said he prefers local school district organization over county wide system. He commented that other areas which have turned to a county school system have found its bigness did not solve their educational problems.

LYNCH supports the idea of education getting back to the basics of reading, writing, arith- RETIRING LEGISLATOR. State Rep. Donald J.

Although he doesn't think educators are totally to blame for many students not being able to read and write when they graduate from high school, Lynch said he doesn't like the excuses educators make for students' low test scores. Delaware should have a law requiring students to competency test in reading, writing and math before they can graduate. schoolbe present time, pass on students whether or not they are prepared, he noted. The state representative attributed the improvement in the state's financial condition this year largely to a better working relationship established between the governor and the legislature and more financial responsibility by legislators.

He is optimistic the state will be in a more stable financial position in the near future because the legislature is more conservative than it was several years ago. But he added, "It's really a guessing game." It's hard to predict what the financial condition of the state will be in the future." TURNING TO the off shore oil question, Lynch supports the idea of a deepwater port located in the Delaware Bay to handle oil being transported up the Bay to Wilmington and Philadelphia refineries, as well as the oil industry using Sussex County as a base for its operations. Oil related industry could bring much needed jobs to the county, sumption of soybeans this year led speculators to the surplus would be substantially smaller. Government officials explained that last year's soybean crop had been underestimated, and that the revised figures included a statistical adjustment. But despite the skepticism, virtually all grain and soybean prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were marked down.

The biggest losses occurred in contracts for delivery before the fall harvest. Other negative influences included a pickup in cash market grain sales and good weather. The July soybean delivery toppled 45 cents during the period to $6.5112 a bushel, its lowest price in four months. Contracts representing the crop that will be harvested in the fall, however, gave up as little as 43 cents a bushel. Wheat futures lost to 134 cents, while corn prices were cut to 12 cents a bushel.

Judge Says Inmates Need More Space BALTIMORE (AP) A federal judge says City Jail inmates must be given a space of their own whether it be a separate cell or 60 square feet in a dormitory. U.S. District Judge Frank A. Kaufman's order was part of a plan to relieve overcrowding at the jail.

Kaufman had earlier ruled that the crowded conditions violated prisoners' constitutional rights. During the next 12 months, jail officials must cut the inmate population from the current 1,200 prisoners to 957. That means one inmate for each of the 828 cells and 129 inmates in the dormitories.

I've always thought the oil industry and the resorts can live together," he remarked. Commenting on the effect lobbyists have legislators, Lynch said, "'They do have some effect on legislators, but not as as many people think. In fact, lobbyists can be a benefit to legislators as sources of information when legislators have questions concerning certain types of legislation, he explained. Prior to being elected to the state legislature in 1972, Lynch served five years on the Indian River School Board, and six years on the Fenwick Island Town Council. Lynch and his family have two homes, one in Selbyville and a summer home in Fenwick.

While in the legislature, he served on the joint finance education, natural resources banking and insurance, and constitution committees.

Diplomats Consider Young Good Man ForU.S. By WILLIAM N. OATIS Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS (AP) Other U.N. diplomats in general still rate Andrew Young an effective representative of the United States in the world organization despite the frequent storms caused by his remarks to reporters in his 18 months on the job. "He's done a lot to convince the Third World of the sincerity of American policy.

Young, America's first black U.N. ambassador, drew sharp criticism in Congress and irritated the White House by saying in an interview this week with a Paris newspaper that along with the many political prisoners in the Soviet Union, "in our prisons there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of people whom I would call political prisoners." Young said in a statement Thursday he never "equated the status of political freedom in the United States with that in the Soviet Union." He said he fully agrees with the strong condemnations by President and Secretary of State Cyrus Carter Vance of the treatment of Soviet dissidents.

Barton in an interview said Young was "crucified" by a writer who took the quotation on black political prisoners in the United States "out of context and blew it up. "The full sense of what he said is reasonable, which is that there are problems in all parts of the world." Barton commented. A former delegate of long service said Young's reflected an view common to American blacks "that all blacks who are in jail are political prisoners." But he said he thought "helped the image of the United States by speaking out" because many foreign diplomats respected "an outspoken, independent delegate who is not the creature of the State Department establishment." As evidence of Young's effectiveness, Barton took the lead 15 months ago in pushing political settlement in South Africa. The drive paid off Wednesday when the guerrilla movement fighting to free the territory from South Africa accepted a Western plan for a U.N.-monitored transition to independence. A Latin American delegate who asked not to be identified said he thought Young had been effective bringing out the fact that in America they care about the problems of Some of the diplomats inter.

Continued From Page One TREE Mrs. Richard Schwinn was chairman of a special projects committee when the women's group initiated the move to put a bicentennial plaque under the tree.

During the presidential term of Mrs. W. R. Williamson, the plaque was put into place. Everyone associated with project feels that the tree is one of the few permanent things one may view in Millsboro related to the 200th anniversary of the United States.

A couple of years ago, the tree withstood an application of weed killer. Workmen hired by Mrs. Collins to keep her yard in shape doused the cirumference of the truck with a weed killer. When the herbicide began to affect the leaves, it was discovered what was happening and the applications stopped. The tree recovered.

Mrs. Collins is now in a Lewes convalescant home but the spirit she showed in maintaining and protecting the white oak has been transferred to the community so there are hopes that when the tricentennial year rolls around in 2076, the tree will still be standing.
