The judge couldn't give him life, but said how about 30 years for starters, Cemond, a two-bit thief and check-kiter, has spent the better part of his 38 years in jail, He likes it there.

"Prison ain't Cloud Nine," Cemond muses, "but the system works for me." In his most recent encore in a Chicago federal court, Cemond pleaded with the judge to throw the book at him for a flurry of check forgeries. Cemond is languishing in a county lockup while awaiting trial. He had a choice between a federal or state court and chose the feds because their prisons are more homey. Circuit Court Judge Daniel Ryan told Cemond he couldn't oblige him with a life sentence, the max for writing bad checks being 30 years in the slam. -That's not good enough," Cemond sighed.

Cemond is a classic underachiever. All Cemond says he needs is to read all the rotten news in the paper and he's happy to be locked up. "The economy looks real bad, Cemond notes cheerfully from his cellblock in Cook County 1 4. i 1..16, le I 4, 1 1,1:,.1410,...44. t.

The awards cereinony couldn't have been mnre bland if it had been scripted by Louisa May Aleut Nobody showed up bombed, nobody made any controversial political speeches and nobody even communicated with anybody out there in television land in sign language.

The Academy itself couldn't work up enough enthusiasm over "Kramer vs. Kramer" to give it more than' five awards, thus eliminating the excitement that a film can create when it "sweeps" the ceremony as other flints have done in the past. "Kramer" limped in with only five awards, including best picture: Dustin Hoffman as best actor; Robert Benton for both best director and for best adapted screenplay and Meryl Streep for best supporting actress. Which is really only four awards in my book. That's it.

No shivery thrills: no moments of high excitement; no eccentric hiiinks to fill the gossip columns this morning. Just five awards that kind of lay there and refused to fizz. The trouble with the whole evening was the lack of a single taftet-shaking surprise during the ceremonies which were broadcast from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. Just about every film prognosticator in the land had "Kramer" down as best picture weeks ago. Sure, it was nice when Sally Field got up and shed a few tears after she was announced as best actress for her role in "Norma Rae," in v'vhich she plays a textile mill worker who brings the union and a better life for workers in an Alabama town.

She looked real sweet. Streep, an actress whose attractions escape a lot Of us, set the tone of the event with her acceptance speech that began with "Holy mackerel!" Holy mackerel, alas! Holtman's acceptance speech was simply crude. "Ile has no genitalia and he's holding a sword," he said as he grasped his sear. Without a director behind him, Hoffman simply does not sparkle, as he proved in a rambling speech he made before presenting British actor Alec GUirtill'SS With the Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Rocky represents a great deal to toy-poodle breeders in this country and they're lust enraged." Winne anguishes.

The white, eight-pound Rocky has been a stud fur the past 3 years: his offspring are all blue-ribbon winners. Winne has sent $100 to a psychic in Paducah, who said he had a vision of the poodles.

A government communique said the negotiators "examined several useful memorandums with the goal of obtaining the quickest possible libertation of the hostages." The government has refused to release any prisoners by executive order, saying all of those whose freedom was sought were charged with common crimes and to free them would violate the constitution.

It has offered to transfer their cases from military to civilian courts, which would mean automatic freedom for those held more than six months tthout trial.
