Ainurillo Clobe-Times Thursday, September 1. Defector-- (Continued From Page 0 afterward. A Soviet official reported that Polyanskii, in an hour-long meeting with Foreign Ministry officials, said the Japanese government has met noire of the Soviet demands since the pilot made a "mistaken" landing Monday. He claimed that the Japanese government "fabricated" its announcement that Belenko wanted political asylum. The ambassador contended that some television film and press photographs showed force being used to restrain the pilot because he was handcuffed in a patrol car and police pushed his head down.

Polyanskii told Deputy Foreign Minister Keisuke Arita that Japan's refusal to meet the Soviet requests violated a 1966 consular agreement, informed sources said. He again demanded the "prompt" return of the plane the pilot to the Soviet Union. Apparently referring to the United the Soviet envoy cited reports that a third country was intervening in the affair. He asked Japanese officials not to allow this government to become involved. Informed sources said Arita denied i outside interference and the charge that Belenko was being detained his will.

'Family' Tops Ratings, 4 News Special Loses LOS ANGELES (AP) An "All in Family" repeat on CBS topped the television ratings charts, but a news special on the presidential campaign by "the same network wound up as last week's least-watched evening show. According to A.C. Nielsen Co. audience estimates made public Tuesday, "All in the Family" was seen in an estimated 17 million homes. The 'CBS News special was seen in only slightly more than 3.2 million homes.

The Nielsen figures, for the week ending Sept. 5, listed the 20 most- watched programs that week as "All in 'the Family" and "Maude" (both CBS); "Happy Days," "Welcome Back Kotter" and "Baretta" (all ABC); "Phyllis" and "MA-S-H" (both CBS); "Saturday Movie" (NBC); "Laveme and Shirley" and "Stanley and Hutch" (both ABC); "Alice" (CBS); "Thursday Movie," "Chico and the Man" and "Joe Forrester" (all NBC); "Six Million Dollar Man" (ABC); "Barnaby Jones" (CBS); "Police Woman" and "Sanford and Son" (NBC); "Barney Miller" (ABC) and "Jigsaw John" (NBC). Miss Texas Shines-- Wafface- Statistical (Continued From Page I) preliminaries. But the judges' decision on that competition is kept secret. It became apparent befote the first preliminaries that Miss McCollum has stout backing from her homefolk, as she acknowledged.

"The audience you know is the worst audience," she said between rehearsal, pausing over a quick lunch of sliced tomatoes, a peach and a few grapes. "As far as being here in the hall, I'm having a blast. I'm trying to talre everything in so I can remember it," Miss McCollum said. "The worst thing I'm worried about is that I won't make the top 10. Then I won't be on television and Odessa would never forgive me," said Miss McCollum, 19.

Pageant goers here who buy the official program can't miss Odessa's full page advertisement for their "Star ol the Permian Basin." Odessa Mayor Dan Hemphill, the local Chamber of Commerce and the Odessa Jaycees chipped in $1,150 for the ad. Hemphill and about 50 other Texans arrived here Tuesday night to see Mfas McCollum in the annual pageant parade on the boardwalk here. Miss McCollum is flattered. "He got caught up in the excitement of it, I guess. It's the first time in a long time they've had someone from Odessa, you see," uhe explained.

Texas pageant officials are boasting that Miss McCollum is the best talent they've ever brought to Convention Hall here. They brought Phyllis George in 1971 and Shirley Cothran in 1975, both from Denton and both Miss Americas. Miss McCollum is planning a medley of country and western songs on her alto saxaphone for her talent competition Friday night. She's hoping to win the judges with her version of Boots Randolph's "Yake- tySax." "I've been working on my accent," she said, explaining that Easterners sometimes flinch when a Texan says a wont like "rule" or But she said the's not ashamed of the way she talks. "Noo Yawk.

Noo Jolsey. I could tawk like dat if I tried," she said. Miss McCollum managed to squeeze in two classes last week at North Texas State University, where she's a sophomore studying psychology. But since the school offers a year's scholarship to Miss Texas each year," They're very understanding there" about her two weeks away from class. Being Miss Texas puts women on a pedestal, she said.

"They make us what they want us to be." During fall registration, Miss McCollum said, she wore spike heels and a dress only because the press was doing a story on her. It sets her apart from the crowd, but that's part of the job, she said. "You won't find me in spiked heels and a dress when I'm in class," she said. "As soon as I get back, I'll be wearing my old blue jeans and earth shoes again." Paternity Case Argued NEW ORLEANS (AP) A physician says blood tests show that a man seeking custody of an child born out of wedlock could be the father, but do not prove paternity. Dr.

Leslie Bryant of Baptist Hospital said Wednesday the tests show that Harry T. Begg III, 27, cannot be ruled out as the father of the boy born in April. Begg said he wasn't surprised over the results, just happy. "I have as much right as a married father would have," Begg said. "I don't think I should have to adopt or ask for custody." The mother, Roxanne Duffy, 18, first said Begg was the father, but she retracted that after Begg filed for custody in February.

Begg said his next step would be to present the results of the blood tests to Civil District Judge S. Sanford Levy. who had ordered them. Levy issued a temporary order in February preventing Miss Duffy from putting the boy up for adoption until the suit was settled. Miss Duffy named Begg as the father in an affidavit signed while she was at the Edna Gladney Home in Fort Worth, before the child was born.

Lurleen Wallace ran in 1966 and was elected as a stand-in for Wallace, who was prevented by state law from succeeding himself. She died of cancer in 1968.

17 months after taking office. Alabama law now allows a governor to serve two successive terms. Wallace's second successive teim expires in 1978, and he reportedly has been considering a race for the U.S. Senate seat now held by 76-year-old John Sparkman, also a Democrat. Gov.

and Mrs. Wallace were married in January 1971. It was the second marriage for both. Mrs. Wallace is the niece of former Gov.

James E. "Big Jim" Folsom, who ran unsuccessfully against Wallace for governor in 1970 and 1974. Austin Group Tries To Halt Rock Concerts AUSTIN (AP) Approximately 100 Lake Austin and Lake Travis area residents have formed an organization to stop rock concerts that organization president Norman Montgomery says attract "low scum from well-to-do families." The Rev. M.P. Riker, pastor of St.

Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church, said he would seek an injunction to block concerts planned for Sept. 19 and Sept. 26. The first event is to feature Willie Nelson and is being promoted by Outlaw Productions. The second, with the Jefferson Starship the main attraction, is being sponsored by Mayday Productions, which also sposnored the "Sunday Break II" rock concert last Sunday.

It was that event--attended by possibly as many as touched off the citizen protests. Hudson Bay Fire Chief J.T. Melton said he collapsed from exhaustion Wednesday as a result of the weekend's work. Asked about his plans for the Sept. 19 concert, Melton said he would "stay at home and let it burn." WoolwortR Buys for the Home Tim.

The judgment Wednesday against Transport Co.

of Texas was the first arising from a number of lawsuits filed after an ammonia tanker ran off an overpass at the intersection of Interstate 610 and U.S. 59. State District Judge Wyatt Heard Issued the summary ruling in favor of the family of David R. Whiteman, 48, after Transport lawyers conceded negligence by truck driver William Schmidt caused Whiteman's death. Schmidt, who witnesses said was speeding and following a car too closely, also died as the truck left an interchange overpass, plunged to a lower ramp and exploded, spreading toxic ammonia fumes.

About 200 other persons were injured in the accident. L.R. Wnltecotton, MIS Eitacado, imr Ons. residence, 12,500. DIVORCES CRAHTED: John William aergner and Sunn O'anne noYdV Elliott Elliott.
