ESffiON "As you gtt oldtr yog won't ablt to do at much work, bur I'll do my bwt to eontidtr your valw as a collector's Ittm." DIVORCED FATHER No Time To Loaf In Raising 4 Kids RIVERSIDE. Calif. (AP) John McCloskey, at 39, is a divorced father raising his four kids. He's done it now for seven years. In the process, he's acquired some definite opionions on child rearing.

Sample: "Give them plenty of meat and vegetables and they won't get sick." McCloskey, a flight engineer with the build of a lumberjack, also finds there seldom is a blank space on his calendar. It looks something like this: Sunday: Boy Scouts with John, take Chris to accordion lesson. Monday: Indian Guide meet- inq with Chris and Erik at YMCA; take Vickie to ceramic class. a PWP--Parents Without Partners--skating party for kids. Wednesday: PWP board meeting, our house, Thursday: Go with Chris to accordion lesson.

Friday: Take kids to drive-in movie. Saturday: Overnight horseback riding trip for PWP teens. 1 At the time of the divorce seven years ago, Vickie was seven; John six; Chris 18 months, and Erik a few months. Vickie, now 14, claims she does most of the housework. Dad says she doesn't break her back at it, and the boys, Chris, John and Erik say they help out better or worse," adds dad.

Vickie usually starts dinner about an hour before McCloskey gets home, but he often ends up fixing the meal. "Yeah," says Chris, "her fish sticks usually turn black." Wash und wear clothes take care of ironing problems. For a time McCloskey had a housekeeper and the children's grandmother and great-grandmother also helped out. But the family's been on its own for more than a year now. McCloskey says it's cheaper to be single with four children than married: "A wife would always want something--4iew drapes, a different couch, a new car." But, he adds, "it's not easier to raise kids without a mom in the home." James Boswell, pastor, was to officiate.

Brandon CLARENDON Funeral 1 ervices for Mrs. Udora King Brandon, 81, of Clarendon, will Psychologist Says Sirhan Is Paranoid LOS ANGELES CAP) The assassin of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy is pictured by a defense psychologist as a man who is "constantly thinking of destroying everybody, including himself." That evaluation of the mind of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was presented Monday by Dr. Martin Schorr, a clinical psychologist, to the jury that must decide whether Sirhan had the mental capacity to plan Kennedy's murder.

Sirhan's defenders hoped to save him from the gas chamber by their claim that he did not. Premeditation must be proved for conviction on the first-degree murder charge. Schorr was scheduled to continue his testimony today. Perhaps the roost attentive person in the courtroom as the trial went into its 10th week was Sirhan. He laughed self-consciously as the psychologist de scribed the defendant's reac- tions to ink blot tests projected on a screen.

"He feels he has a special kind of insight of what's wrong and right," said Schorr. "I asked him what he felt and he said, "There's nothing wrong with Schorr described Sirhan as a paranoiac, an individual who "protects himself from the stresses and strains and demands of society by behaving in a highly evasive or guarded manner." Then he gave support to the defense contention that Sirhan's childhood in war-torn Palestine damaged his personality. "The paranoid development is a long insiduous process," Schorr said. "Paranoid people are usually not stupid, they are usually quite bright," said Schorr. In Sirhan's case: "He is highly aggressive there are violent strivings inside that seek expression." Mothers, Children Stop That Bulldozer KEY BISCAYNE, Fla.

(AP) Matrons in bell-bottoms and young mothers with kids in tow turned out Monday to halt a big, yellow bulldozer chewing up palms on Nixon Circle. "They're trying to destroy natural beauty in order to throw something phony and manmade," said an angry woman as she tromped around the circle with a picket sign. A state Road Department official quickly ordered postponement of work to lay a four-lane highway through the coconut tree traffic island named for Key Biscayne's well known weekend resident. "We can't work under these conditions," said Jim KUough of the Road Department. "We'll pull out until the problem is settled by the courts." The traffic circle at the entrance to Key Biscayne sits in the middle of Crandon Boulevard, the road from the mainland.

The highway department considers the circle a traffic hazard and wants to eliminate it in four-laning Crandon Boulevard. deputies as they paced back and forth in front of the bulldozer with their mothers. A group of Key Biscayne resi dents said they would seek a court injunction to stop the Boulevard widening. Almost at dawn, a bulldozer S550 began grinding up the tropical foliage Key Biscayners long have held dear to their little island. By ths time the mothers and kids arrived, the bulldozer had cut a narrow swath through the circle.

But that stopped when a dainty little woman sat down in front of the bulldozer's blade. The bulldozer driver halted his vehicle and left for an hour- long lunch break with other construction workeK. There was no trouble, but three deputy sheriffs made the women move their cars off a grassy triangle near the circle. "Get your kids out of here, a deputy entered. But the kid: stayed obeying the "keep moving" order of the Employe Claims Sex Discrimination DALLAS (AP) A Dallas woman who claims she was denied a promotion and was fired from her job.because ol her sex, filed suit in federal court Monday against the Dallas County Community Action Com mittee.

Maley fired her July 25, 1967, after earlier saying she was not "eligible for promotion to the vacancy she had applied for because of her sex."
