lt)ellsville jpaily Reporter Serving Allegany, Potter Counties Ninety-Second Year Wellsville, New York, Saturday Afternoon, July 8, 1972 10 Cents Per Copy Crackdown on hijacks is ordered SAN CLEMENTS, Calif. (AP) President Nixon, in a crackdown air piracy, has ordered the Federal Aviation Administration to implement tougher antihijacking measures including passenger inspection when necessary on commuter airlines. John D. Ehrlichman, Nixon's assistant for domestic policy, announced at a news conference Friday in nearby Newport Beach that the President ordered FAA Administrator John Shaffer to assure 100 per cent inspection in some form for all commuter passengers. Previous government regulations re- qured a 10 per cent screening ratio, Ehrlichman said.

Nixon acted after two Pacific Southwest Airlines planes, which carry air commuters in California, were hijacked in two days. "The President has followed news of the recent hijackings," and has been very concerned, particularly about commuter airlines," the aide said. "These include s'ich airlines as Pacific Southwest Airlines of California and the East Coast shuttle runs between Boston and New York. An FAA spokesman in Washington said the new rules applying to shuttle flights require that all passengers must show two pieces of identification and that all carry-on luggage will be searched. In addition, the spokesman added, body searches will be instituted when it appears warranted or justified.

Sources indicated each piece of baggage or each purse might not be physically searched. But they said that the airline would CO tinue to rely heavily on metal detection devices which, if they record a warning signal, could lead to searches. On Friday morning, Nixon held a lengthy review of the meat price situation at the Western White House here with Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz and other officials. Mud plagues cleanup at Corning Glass CORNING, N.Y. (AP) The flood waters are gone.

Now it's mud that plagues the Corning Glass Works and its world-famous treasure trove, the Corning Museum of Glass. This weekend, many of the company's flood-cleanup workers are enjoying their first real rest since flood waters surged through the Corning area nearly three weeks ago. "We're giving most of our crews the weekend off," said Campbell Rutledge. "They're simply exhausted." Rutledge, a vice president of the glass firm, estimated that nearly four-fifths of the firm's 6,500 employes here are now back on the job. He said most of the company's facilities were back in operation, but the old Main Plant, which produces a variety of glassware, including heatproof types and laboratory items, remains commission.

Some of its molds have been moved temporarily to other Corning plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It may be the end of July before the main plant can reopen, Rutledge said Sometime in August is the earliest reopening date foreseen for the Corning Glass Center, where floodwaters sent staff members scurrying to the rooftop for helicopter rescue. The tourist center houses the' Corning Museum of Glass, a collection that includes year-old Egyptian beads, important Renaissance pieces and prized early American specimens. Us director, Paul Perrot, has become an archaeologist of sorts. He is using fine-mesh screens to sift through the mud inside the building, hoping to find fragments of the dozens of exhibits that were smashed.

FLOOD-WEARY FARM FACES Nearly 120 rural residents of Allegany County jammed Friendship's Town Hall on Friday to learn from Farm Bureau officials and lawmakers what aid is available for agricultural damages due to the flood. The expressions of concern on these faces mirror the staggering losses suffered by many county farmers. All farmers who have not as yet reported their losses are urged to do so within a week by sending a description of damages together with evaluations of cost to Mrs. Edward Wilmot of Portageville R.D. 1, who will compile data and forward it to Albany.

(Reporter Photo) US jets hit enemy supply point; three planes lost By GEORGE ESPER Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) U.S. Navy jets from carriers in the Tonkin Gulf set huge fires to an island transhipment point east of Hai- phong, and the U.S. Command announced today the loss of three of America's fastest jets over North Vietnam with all six crewmen missing. U.S. officials warned of a new threat by Soviet-built MIG21 interceptors that shot down two of the three Air Force F4 Phantoms reported lost.

In South Vietnam, North Vietnamese forces began their second week of artillery attacks against the old imperial capital of Hue. Thirty miles to the north, a South edges of Quang Tri City. A 7th Fleet communique said waves of Navy jets destroyed 15 buildings at the He Danh Do La transhipment point 35 miles east of Haiphong, and that pilots reported setting four large sustained fires in the attack. The Navy said it was an "all- out effort" that resulted in heavy damage to North Vietnamese supply and transportation systems. In reports delayed by search and rescue operations that proved unsucessful, the U.S.

Command said two Air Force F4 Phantoms were shot down by MIG21 interceptors Wednesday while accompanying fighter-bombers on raids 30 and 60 miles northeast of Hanoi. All four crewmen were reported missing. They were the fourth and fifth F4 Phantoms downed by MIG21s in less than two weeks with a total of eight crewmen missing and two rescued. Not since the 1965-68 bombing campaign have North Vietnamese MIGs done so well. In still another delayed report, the command said a third Air Force F4 was lost to unknown causes while on a mission 70 miles northwest of Dong Hoi in the southern sector of North Vietnam.

Its two crewmen were listed as missing. The command said 58 U.S. planes have been lost over North Vietnam since the resumption of bombing April 6, and a total of 67 airmenare missing over the North during the same period. Many of the missing are believed to have been captured. Meanwhile, the U.S.

Command reported that an Ameri- can artillery battery accidentally fired into a U.S. infantry patrol nine miles west of Da Nang on Friday, killing two Americans and wounding eight. In a second mistaken attack, two Air Force F4 Phantoms accidentally dropped bombs on a South Vietnamese position in the central highlands seven miles northwest of Kontum City, killing six government soldiers and wounding six, the command announced. Associated Press correspondent Holger Jensen reported from the northern front that South Vietnamese paratroopers advancing on Quang Tri City were stalled for the second day by North Vietnamese forces entrenched in bunkers and walled French villas. Rockets slammed into Allied bases at Phu Bai and Da Nang to the south.

Zippie antics fail to ruffle Miami residents MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) A Zippie with megaphone stepped up and announced that Flamingo Park's swimming pool would be open for skinny- dipping. Near midnight Friday, about 50 youths bathed in the buff in the lighted pool, frolicking under the passive gaze of two lifeguards. Taking it all in, too, were some of Miami Beach's senior citizens who had wandered into the park, which has taken on a Court rules lock change constitutes abandonment ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) "Where the wife changes the lock on the entrance door of the marital abode thus effectively excluding her husband, this act, unless justified, constitutes an abandonment," the Court of Appeals ruled Friday.

Judge Charles Breitel wrote the majority opinion in the case of a man who had been refused a divorce after his wife changed locks on him. Four of the seven judges felt that C. Richard Schine, a partner in the troubled Schine hotel and movie-theater stage chain, could sue for divorce against his wife on basis of the lockout. The decision overturned the ruling of the State Supreme Court's Appellate Division, which had refused a divorce to Schine and ordered him to pay $5,000 a year to his wife, plus support for their two children. Although his child-support payment must continue, Schine is free to seek a divorce and no longer needs to pay alimony.

The Schines were married in 1960 but, according to court papers, began to have serious marital problems three years later. "The parties had much to complain about one another and did," Breitel wrote in the majority opinion. "The wife evidently objected to the husband's preoccupation with the troubled Schine business. The husband was unhappy with the wife's extravagance and money exactione. There was also conflict over personality traits.

In 1966, while Schine remained in their New City apartment, Mrs. Schine changed the locks at the family estate at Kings Point, Long Island, where she and the children were living. She did not supply her husband with spare keys. Judge Francis Bergan, in dissenting, said that the act of changing the locks was a trivial reason for granting a divorce: He was supported by Chief Judge Stanley Fuld and Judge Matthew Jasen. carnival-like atmosphere for the approaching Democratic National Convention.

"This place must looj like a zoo to them," said young Don Bode of Bryan, Ohio. Other young persons lounged under a huge banyan tree, swatted mosquitos and complained about a shortage of pot. The pungent odor of marijuana filled the air. Elderly couples walked arm- in-arm in the warm evening air, pausing to chat with the youngsters. One gray-haired woman pulled away from her husband to argue religion with a chanting Hare Krishna devotee, dressed in flowing robes.

While the number of protesters camping in the park swelled several hundred, it was still far short of the thousands originally predicted for the convention, which opens Monday. Tents, large and small, dotted the 36-acre, palm-shaded recreational complex in the center of Miami Beach's retirement community. Oldsters living in faded apartment hotels seemed unconcerned about the influx of counter-culture groups. "They're very nice," said Mrs. Julius Bachenheimer.

"One of them asked me where he could get some cigarettes and when I told him, he said 'sei gesund' (stay healthy) in Yiddish." Another lady sitting on a lounge chair nearby interjected "My only complaint is that they were singing and playing the guitar until 3 a.m. last night. Don't they ever sleep?" Mickey Maguire, a leader of United Black Students, appealed to a group of young demonstrators to remember their parents. secrecy WASHINGTON (AP) Two top Democratic advocates of right-to-know laws have urged a strong party stand against secrecy and accused the Nixon administration of making "sinister movements toward dictatorship and tyranny." A "secrecy-minded Republican administration has made a shambles of the freedom-of-information law," said Reps. William S.

Moorhead, chairman of the House government information subcommittee, and John E. Moss, former head of the panel. In a detailed statement, submitted recently to Democratic platform-handlers and made public today, Moorhead and Moss alleged that the Nixon administration has: the rights of citizens seeking information from government agencies and hidden vital facts about the administration's conduct of foreign and domestic policies from the American public. a massive assault on our free press and sought to impose prior restraint on newspapers which published the Pentagon papers. refused to provide Congress with vital information it requires to carry out its constitutional responsibilities the security classification system by unnecessarily overclassifying millions of documents to hide the truth about foreign policy and defense policies from the American people, thus undermining the safety and integrity of truly vital classified information affecting our national security." Chess often a bloody affair centuries ago NEW YORK (AP) The insulted egos and white-knuckled tensions before the Fischer- Spassky chess match may seem to be a blazing battle, but pale beside the tales of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland.

Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery, revenge, intrigue and murder, according to sagas of the time. When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald, he stood up in a fury, shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it, leaving him a bloody mess. "Take that!" exclaimed the king. Rognvald rode off in a panic. But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open.

These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature," published in 1905. It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky, the world champion. Supreme Court declines stand in controversy over delegate seating By JOHN BECKLKR Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court has declined to enter the Democratic party's fight over the seating of delegates to its national convention, leaving it to the delegates to battle it out in Miami Beach. By a 6-3 vote in a rare special session Friday night, the court stayed a lower federal court order that would have restored 151 Calidornia delegates to Sen. George giving him a strong boost toward a first-ballot nomination as the Democratic candidate for president, dent.

With the convention opening Monday, the court said, there was no time to examine the pertinent issues, including serious questions of the authority of the courts to intervene in the internal decision-making process of a political party. In a century and a half of American history, the court said, the national political parties themselves have settled controversies over the seating of delegates to their conventions. In a strong dissenting opinion, Justice Thurgood Marshall said the action of the con- vention Credentials Committee in unseating 151 McGovern delegates from California and 59 uncommitted delegates led by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley raised constitutional as well as political questions. "The dispute in these cases concerns the right to participate in the machinery to elect the President of the United States," he said.

The court took no action on requests by the Democratic party and by the Daley forces for a hearing to decide the cases on their merits. Marshall observed that the request will still be before the court when it reconvenes in October. Arguing that the court should meet the issue head-on now, Marshall said if the court, in October, sustains the right of the challenged delegates to be seated, "we would have no choice but to declare the convention null and void and to require that it be repeated." In a statement issued in Washington, McGovern said, "By a divided court decision, it is now the responsibility of the delegates to the national convention to protect the rule of law and the nation's time-honored sense of fair play. We do not change the rules of the game after the game is over." Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey was the chief beneficiary of the committee decision to apportion the California delegates among all candidates in that primary. His press secretary, Jack L. Chestnut, said in Miami Beach he was confident the convention would vote to support the delegate split-up. In the twin appeals, the party hierarchy was defending the Credentials Committee action in the California case, upset by the lower court, and the Daley contingent argued on the other side that the courts should upset the committee once more and restore convention seats to the Daley delegates. The lower court upheld the committee in that case, and had set steps in motion to block Illinois state courts from intervening in the case.

Justices Byron White and William 0. Douglas also dissented from the court's opinion. Although it did not pass on the appellate court ruling ordering the seating of the McGovern and anti-Daley delegates, the Supreme Court majority said "we entertain grave doubts as to the action taken by the court of appeals." McGovern challengers chip away at his lead By CARL P. LEUBSDORF AP Political Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen.

George McGovern's presidential challengers, buoyed by a Supreme Court ruling that tossed the California credentials case before next week's Democratic National Convention, worked today to chip away at the front-running South Dakota senator's massive delegate lead. On the scene ahead of McGovern to meet with delegates in this warm resort center were Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie, Henry M.

Jackson, and Rep. Wilbur D. Mills. They hailed the high tribunal's 6-3 ruling Friday night. It stopped a lower court from restoring 151 disputed California delegates to McGovern.

Preparing to fly here today to take personal charge of his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, McGovern said in Washington he was confident "the American sense of fair play will win out in Miami" and give him back the California delegates. His political operatives, who spent much of the day planning for the floor fight expected Monday night on the California credentials case, said they expected to win by at least 50 votes in a showdown that could have a decisive impact on the fight for the nomination itself. An afternoon caucus of Democratic governors provided one forum for the presidential hopefuls to seek delegates. A number of the state executives head blocs of uncommitted delegates. If McGovern wins the California credentials fight, he would be about 50 votes away from winning the nomination, according to a tally by The Associated Press.

If he loses, he would be more than 200 votes short. In its ruling, the Suprene Court in effect reinstated the decision by the convention's Credentials Committee, which voted 72 to 66 to divide the 271 California delegates proportionately according to votes in the June 6 primary, rather than following the state law giving them all to the winner, McGovern. In a second case, the court refused to take action on Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley's effort to overthrow a Credentials Committee ruling that ousted him and 58 other Illinois delegates for violations of reform selection rules. That dispute, too, will go to the convention floor.

That left the front-running McGovern with 1,307.15 first- ballot votes 205.85 short of the 1,509 needed to win the nomination but far ahead of Humphrey's 507.55, Gov. George C. Wallace's 387 and Muskie's 237.05. A total of 402.65 are uncommitted, the rest scattered. A spokesman for Mills said the Arkansas congressman was "heartened by the decision." Cuban exiles to demonstrate MIAMI, Fla.

(AP) Despite spirited opposition from within their own ranks, top leaders of Miami's Cuban exile colony of 300,000 have called for "a massive demonstration" Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention. Carlos Prio Socarras, former Cuban president and the demonstration's chief organizer, said Friday that he expects up to 3,000 refugees to march "peaceably and with good intentions" outside the Miami Beach Convention Hall. "We are not protesting against anyone," Prio said, "only against the idea that Cubans in this country have no right to do anything to overthrow Fidel Castro." Prio heads a coalition group which includes Bay of Pigs veterans, his own Cuban Revolutionary Party, students and others. Opposed to the idea of demonstrations, but planning to stage their own minicampaign of "information and accusation," is another coalition refugee group calling itself the Committee for Liberation.
