of 1 1 1 2 THE DAILY TIMES Salisbury, Tues, May 8, 1979 Names In The News APPEARS FOR COURT RULING. Bianca Jagger, wife of Rolling Stones' lead singer Mick Jagger, arrives at Superior Court in Los Angeles Monday with attorney chelson for a hearing in her divorce suit against Jagger. She is fighting to keep the case in Los Angeles rather than have it moved to England. (AP Laserphoto) Jane Fonda 'Wins' Her Case LOS ANGELES (AP) Actress Jane Fonda says she didn't want the $1 million. She just wanted the FBI to admit it spied on her for 412 years and a promise to play by the rules in the future.

And on Monday, Miss Fonda announced she got what she went after the admission and a promise to adhere to new Justice Department guidelines in future investigations. In return, 1978's Oscar winner for "Best Actress" agreed not to press her financial claim filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in federal court." Ballet Tryouts Shifted BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) Choreographer Maurice Bejart decided to conduct his ballet tryouts in a gymnasium instead of the prestigious Colon Theater. He made the decision after he discovered theater officials wanted to limit the auditions to students from its school. Dozens of Argentine ballet hopefuls had lined up outside the theater for the Sunday tryouts, all dreaming of a scholarship at Bejart's school in Brussels. "If all these people cannot enter, I suspended the tryouts," said Bejart before stalking from the theater.

Bianca Jagger Sues Mick LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge who says he's "strictly a Lawrence Welk man" may hear divorce case testimony from rock star Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones' lead singer and actress Bianca Jagger are battling here over where her divorce suit will be heard. Mrs. Jagger, who plans to live in Los Angeles with their daughter, Jade, is seeking half of Jagger's estimated $25 million fortune. She has filed in both London and Los Angeles but seeks trial here.

Jagger favors a trial in England. Jagger recently described himself as "a wandering minstrel," and said, "In the course of my career as a musician it is necessary for me to visit many countries." Jagger's lawyer said his client is a resident of the island of Mustique, West Indies. On The Light Side Mansion Has Uninvited Guest HELENA, Mont. (AP) It's been 20 years since anybody lived in Montana's original Governor's Mansion, but the historical home, built in the 1880s, had an uninvited guest. Tour guide Esther Brown led her first group of the day into the master bedroom Saturday morning to find a man sleeping on a bed.

Police Chief Jack Williams said the man awoke and ran out the door before police arrived. Witnesses said the visitor left in a pickup truck. Williams said nothing was taken and there was no evidence of a break-in except for a rumpled bed. Looking For Mr. Brown Bear BARRIERE, British Columbia (AP) Ever since school student reported he shot and wounded a sasquatch, Wayne Lahucik's farm near Dunn Lake has been overrun with other students hoping to bring down one of the legendary, ape-like creatures.

Armed with rifles and camouflaged in greens and browns, the curious hordes have ignored "private property" signs, jumped fences and set Lahucik to worrying. "I'm not so much worried about them being on my property, but someone is going to get shot," he said, explaining that he has curtailed his skin diving in Dunn Lake for fears that he will be mistaken for a monster. The latest frenzy began last week when 16-year-old Tim Meissner shot at what he said was a sasquatch, although a local wildlife officer said he is convinced the boy saw a bear. Lahucik agrees, saying what Meissner saw probably was an elderly brown bear with grey-tinged fur that sometimes walks upright because it has an injured front paw. "And if there is a wounded bear up there, it's not a very good idea for the kids to be looking for it." Weather Tides Mid-Delmarva Sunset, today 7:57 p.m.

The inflation-weary public says business profits are too high and that it is company executives and large shareholders rather than the public or employees who benefit most from higher corporate earnings. Despite these negative views, Americans are split on whether the government should impose Tower Snag Is controls on those profits.

In recent weeks, corporation after corporation has announced higher profits in the first quarter of this year: Exxon, up 37 percent over last year's first quarter. Atlantic Richfield, 61 percent; Du Pont, up 48 percent; Union Carbide, 58 perChase Manhattan, up percent. The AP-NBC News poll taken April 30 and May found 68 percent of the public saying business profits are too high. Twenty-two percent said they Delaying Things are about right and 5 percent said profits are too low. Five percent of the 1,600 adults interviewed nationwide by telephone are not sure.

Part of the negative reaction to business profits comes from the public perception of who benefits from such earnings. Thirty executives percent said topreap benefits of big profits, while 33 percent said the money flows to large shareholders of the corportions. Sixteen percent said the corporations themselves get most of the benefits. Only 5 percent said the public benefits from business profits and 2 percent said the profits go to the companies' employees. One percent said all categories benefit and 6 percent are not sure.

Although the public is weary of constantly rising prices, it is not sure government controls on business profits would do much for the nation's economic troubles. Forty-nine percent favor man- New TV Station Gets FCC Approval Channel 47, a new commercial TV station to be located in Salisbury, has the necessary light" from the Federal Communications Commission.

Ten percent are not sure. As one might expect, those who say business profits are too high are most likely to favor controls on such earnings. Those who said profits are too large favored controls by a 58-33 margin. On the other side, those who said profits are about right opposed controls by a 63-29 margin and the small group which said profits are too low opposed controls by a 51-31 edge. As with any sample survey, the results of the AP-NBC News polls could differ from the results of interviews with all Americans with telephones because of chance variations in the sample.

For polls with 1,600 interviews, the results should vary than three percentage points either way simply because of sample errors. Of course, the results could vary from other polls because of differences in the wording of questions, timing of interviews or the method of interviewing.
