Wednesday, August 5, 1981 PRESS nA People Woman Amish man withdraws $22,500 I 11." 1 I "I 1 1 bid tor chance to hunt bighorns marriage, I worked 16 to 18 hours a day with business," he said. "I made good money (but) I never went traveling. Now I want to travel, fish, look and see what's going on." He said he and his eldest son hunt with rifles, while the rest of the family stays at camp or takes guided tours of the countryside. He said after failing to contact Utah officials, he also found "the family really didn't want to go." "My wife didn't. She has to can and store 500 to 600 quarts of vegetables this summer for the next two winters since we'll be away next summer" for a trip through "Germany, Russia, Europe." The Utah lottery was started last year, but no one entered.

However, a man came forward after the drawing and paid the state $29,000 for the license and slew a 150-pound ram. The only other way a hunter can get a bighorn license in Utah is to put his name in a lottery, but just 17 names will be drawn this year. Claire Huff of the Utah game department said "there was no bond or legal obligation on the part of Mr. Yoder" to pay for the license after submitting the bid. The bighorn hunt this year is Sept.

12 through Oct. 11. family's travels and hunting do not interfere with the strict Amish rules on lifestyle. He is 38, has a beard, wears plain black suits and a wide-brimmed hat and drives a horse-drawn buggy. He describes himself as "strictly Amish" and said the family has no telephone or electricity at their farmhouse.

He said traveling and hunting are mere extensions of the Amish way of life. "I only believe in doing what you want to do as long as you do it right," he said in an interview by phone from a neighbor's. His wife Clara is 44, and their children range in age from 5 to 17. For five months last year, the Yoders traveled to Wyoming, Montana, Canada and Alaska on a hunting expedition. To keep from driving a motor vehicle, they hired an acquaintance to take them in a motor home.

The trip cost $110,000 and was worth every cent, Yoder said. "Even if I had to borrow money to do it, I wouldn't care," he said. "You only have money once, so you might as well spend it." Yoder said he dropped out of an Amish school at age 17 after spending two years in each grade. He can neither read nor write. "For the first 12 years of our BILLIE JEAN KING Carol Burnett, who won a libel judgment against the National Enquirer, has sent a check for $100,000 to the journalism department at the University of Hawaii, according to the department chairman.

Prof. John Luter said Burnett sent the gift Monday even though she still has not collected any of her $800,000 award from the tabloid, pending appeals. The money will be used to start the Carol Burnett Fund for Responsible Journalism, Luter said. It will support workshops on ethical issues, a special lecture series, prizes for student writing and faculty research on ethical issues in journalism, Luter said. The department has 125 journalism majors.

Burnett planned to give a similar grant to the graduate school of journalism at the University of California at Berkeley. Burnett was awarded $1.6 million in damages by a jury in March for an Enquirer article which implied that she was drunk in a Washington restaurant. The award was cut in half by a higher court. Billie Jean's court bid Tennis star Billie Jean King and her husband can ask a court to rule that they, and not Mrs. King's former lesbian lover, own a contested Malibu beach house, a judge says.

Superior Court Judge Arnold Levin ruled Tuesday that the Kings' unlawful detainer suits involving the $650,000 beach house can go to trial, said Larry Holmes, attorney for Larry King. Marilyn Barnett, 33, tried to have the suits consolidated with her palimony suit against Mrs. King. Barnett is suing the tennis player for half interest in the house and half the proprty acquired during the couple's lesbian relationship, which started in 1972. Barnett, now a paraplegic who lives in the beach house, claims the house and life support were promised her when she gave up her hairdressing career to travel the tennis circuit with Mrs.

King. Mrs. King, 37, denied making such promises, although she publicly admitted having a love affair with Barnett. The Kings want to sell the beach house. Larry King was in court Tuesday and refused to comment on the ruling, but Holmes said "he was very pleased." Queen Mother is 81 In contrast to the public celebration that marked her 80th birthday, the Queen Mother spent her 81st birthday quietly at the royal mansion Sandringham House in Norfolk.

The former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who was confined to bed with a leg ailment earlier this month, decided Tuesday to do without the hoopla that accompanied her birthday last year. Then the Royal Air Foce held a fly-past above her London residence at Clarence House, and the Royal Ballet staged a special performance in her honor at Covent Garden. The popular Queen Mother, known to Britons as the Queen Mum, maintains one of the heaviest programs of official engagements of any member of the royal family. Little Richard converts The rock 'n' roll singer famous for "Lucille," "Send Me Some Lovin'" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" is now an evangelist who rails against the music he made famous. "I gave up rock roll for the Roc of Ages," says Little Richard.

"If God can save me, an old homosexual, he can save Richard lives with his mother in Riverside, when not preaching for his "Youth Ablaze for God Crusade." He was in Puyallup, last week to preach to about 3,600 in a tent revival. Little Richard, who once wore outrageous costumes and billed himself as "the Bronze Liberace," was dressed in a three-piece suit. "I wanna tell you something! Rock 'n' roll music is not from God! God told me to come to Seattle and let you now that he wants you all to give up rock roll! I got so wrapped up in that rock 'n' roll I became a drug addict!" He said he went from marijuana to angel dust to pills, cocaine and heroin. "Then I started drinking all kinds of liquors! Born Richard Penniman in Macon, he was a dishwasher at a bus station when he sent a tape to a record company in 1955 that contained the refrain, "Tutti Frutti au rutti, Tutti Frutti au rutti A wop bop aloo bop a wop bam boom!" It sold half a million copies. A string of hits followed.

But at the peak of his career in the late 1950s, Little Richard retired. He made a comeback in the 60s and 70s as an oldies act. Six years ago he quit rock 'n' roll. Associated Press turns down VAA J.J. kJ UU 11 tax break DENVER (AP) An 83-year-old woman who is partially blind has turned down the city's offer of a property tax break, saying women with children need the help more than she does.

"I've got my books, music and friends, and I don't need anything else in life that's enough," said Edna de Lee Macpherson. The most Mrs. Macpherson could have received toward her annual property tax payment was $165, but she said with her Social Security checks, a monthly check from her brother and a recent inheritance, she does not need the tax break. The 1980 property taxes on Mrs. Macpherson's modest one-story house were $610.40.

In a letter to the city, Mrs. Macpherson said, "I cannot honestly accept your kind offer to do something about my income. I deeply appreciate your kind offer to help me out, but I believe there are women with children to support and others to help who need it more than Mrs. Macpherson's tax break is part of a city program started in 1972 to refund property taxes or the equivalent in rent to elderly and disabled residents. In 1979, 14,373 property owners received $1.9 million in refunds, with the average payment totaling about $134.

City deputy treasurer Milo E. Scram said although that amount may not seem like much, it is crucial to some people living on Social Security checks. Scram said his office had received several other letters like the one from Mrs. Macpherson, but he called hers "pretty unique." San Franciscan on winning bridge team BOSTON (AP) A San Franciscan was on the New York-based bridge team that staged a fourth-quarter rally early today and won the 1981 Spingold Master Team Trophy title in the final action of the summer championships of the American Contract Bridge League. Ralph Katz, 24, of Steubenville, Ohio, led his team to a 146-131 international match point win over Rich Friesner's four-man squad.

More than 6,500 players took part in 70 contests during the 10-day tournament, with most competitions ending Sunday. Katz's team included Ed Suther-lin, 44, of San Francisco. Others on the team were: Allan Stauber, 37, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Warren Ros-ner, 37, Nanuet, N.Y.; Ron Gerard, 37, White Plains, N.Y.; and Larry Cohen, 22, also of New York State.

TV hater fires four shots at NBC Studios BURBANK (AP) A man who said he didn't like television was arrested after he fired four shots into the NBC Studios where 45 minutes earlier the audience from the filming of the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson had let out. police said.

Cary Blue Stilfield, 28, of Bur-bank was booked Tuesday night for for investigation of assault on an occupied building after the 7:45 p.m. incident Tuesday, said Lt. Jay Farrand. "He said he didn't like television and he was going to take care of that problem." Farrand said. Stilfield allegedly fired the shots into the plate glass windows of the studio from a semi-automatic rifle as he sat in a car parked across the street.

Customers in a restaurant across from the studio saw the shooting and took down the license number of the car, which led police to Stil-field's nearby home a short time later. Farrand said. No one was injured and a security guard was the only person known to be near the front of the building at the time of the firings, he said. 1 DUNDEE, Ohio (AP) An Amish man says his wife and eight children always do things together, so he has withdrawn his bid to pay the state of Utah $22,500 for a chance to hunt bighorn sheep in the harsh San Juan desert. He's afraid that his family wouldn't be able to go, and, anyway, his wife wasn't too excited about the trip.

"If I go, the family goes," Jonas Yoder said Tuesday. "If the family don't go, I don't go. If anyone in the family objects, we don't go. It's a family decision." Yoder said he could not reach Utah officials to see whether they would allow the bighorn hunt that he won in an auction to become a family expedition, so he scratched it. Utah auctioned off a license to hunt bighorn this year to raise money for wildlife management.

The minimum was $20,000. Because of Yoder's withdrawal, the only other bidder Richard D. Burnside, a Huntsville, Ala. doctor was offered the license for his $22,000 bid, and he accepted, state officials said. Burnside could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Yoder raises beef cattle and horses on 36 acres here and owns a construction company.

Sex-change pilot sues airline for job loss CHICAGO (AP) A pilot with Eastern Airlines who says she lost her job after she underwent a sex-change operation has filed suit against the airline in U.S. District Court. The suit, filed Tuesday on behalf of Karen F.

Ulane, 39, of suburban Darien, asks reinstatement to her job, $4 million in compensation for lost wages and benefits and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The suit accuses the airline of sex discrimination, denial of her rights to equal protection of laws and defamation. Ms. Ulane, a 12-year veteran with Eastern, was hired as Kenneth F. Ulane.

She was dismissed April 24 about a year after she underwent the operation at a University of Chicago hospital, the suit said. She notified her superiors about her plans to undergo the "gender reassignment operation," the suit said. But when she wrote Eastern in February asking to return to her job, she was told the operation "has changed you from the person Eastern hired into a different person," according to the suit. Efforts to reach Ms. Ulane for comment Tuesday night were unsuccessful.

The attorney who filed the suit. Fay Clayton, could not be reached. Bruce Sullivan, Eastern's local manager, referred all questions to the airline's attorneys in Miami.
