Sometimes, one of those listless years, untouched by romance or grandeur, unmarked by a fresh war, creeps into history with an impact unsuspected at the time.

A curbstone guess is Memorial Stadium didnyt suddenly acquire the words "No. 1." The on the west side was "doctored up" by the art department of The Sunday Journal and Star to mirror the feelings of Husker fans that their team is No. 1 in the nation. Binm did oa 3 0 0 Opinfon Analysis Of Author tnat 1970 is not one of them. This desultory judgment is inspired by two pages of snapshots in Time magazine, purporting to profile the first 12 months of the new decade.

The gallery of "Images 70" graphically affirms man's appetite for conflict and tragedy, which was abundantly served.

The controversy over the supersonic aircraft subsidy was the last to yield to settlement. Under its terms, approved by voice vote, the new Washington UT) The 91st Congress Saturday adjourned the longest session in 20 years, leaving to its successors a New Year's hangover of unsettled controversies.

As the old Congress ended its lame-duck session, President Nixon disclosed that he plans to deliver his State of the Union message the evening of Jan. 22, one day after the 92nd Congress convenes. The leftover disputes make it plain Nixon will have plenty of business for the new session. Congress will have to confront the Atop the menu: the postponed but unsettled controversy about the future of the supersonic transport aircraft, and the welfare-reform program that passed the House but died in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Minority Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania made the traditional telephone call to Nixon to tell him the Senate's work was done.

The House lingered a while to eulogize Speaker John W. McCormack again before March issue all over 30. $2.7 billion in transportation appropriations were simply continued by resolution expiring March 30. All pending legislation not acted upon by the expiring Congress must be re-introduced and started from scratch if it is to become law. The resolution was rushed to the presidential retreat at Camp David, and Nixon signed it into law.

Scott pronounced harsh judgment on the record of the 91st, particularly its post-election proceedings. "This was a mixed-bag Congress which in its latter days was featured by the obstruction by the few of the many, and by an unfortunate amount of quarreling between the House and the Senate," Scott said after adjournment. "Mansfield said he Is "very pleased with the Senate's record." He said by its posture on appropriations differences, such as the SST, the With the current Congress due to go out of business at noon Sunday under the terms of the Constitution, and the Senate snarled in filibuster, 66 Soccer Fans in Glasgow Die In Massive Pileup on Stairway 'I am broken- told newsmen, hearted." By Associated Press Fired-up Nebraska football fans, loudly proclaiming their Cornhuskers No. 1 in the nation, Saturday organized a rousing reception for the Orange Bowl winners when they return from Miami at 2:03 today. Lincoln Mayor Sam Schwartzkopf, calling the 17-12 conquest of LSU "a tremendous victory for all of Nebraska," for a citizen rally Sunday featuring Cornhusker coaches and players.

And Chamber of Commerce and other community leaders busily prepared for other moves befitting what already was being regarded hereabouts as Nebraska's first national football championship. Marquees which have played the "Go Big Red" theme all season were being reworded. "Congratulations Big Red," said one typical sign. "You have always been No. 1 with us." Plans for the team to arrive at Lincoln's Municipal Airport on an Eastern Airlines charter flight.

The public reception, originally scheduled for Pershing Auditorium, was, at the last minute, transferred to the Lincoln Municipal Airport. Dick Perry, radio station KFOR sportscaster, was recruited for master of ceremonies. Banners across the street, flags on the light poles, signs in the store windows, all of which will that man also is nourished by dreams. Nothing recorded in the photographs stretched the mind or informed the soul, with the possible exception of the return of Apollo 13 and Pope in Philippines. Humor rated a fugitive glance with a picture tilted Agnew watch, unless one finds something amusing about Jackie in Midi, Manhattan hardhats poised triumphantly on a giant flagpole or the disconsolate faces in a panel marked Wall Street ticker watchers.

There were losers in quantity among the photographs, each captioned without comment Bcrrigan Arrested, Judge Carswell, Yippie Hoffman, Rock Star Joplin, Nixon Campaigning, Young Heroin User, Angela Davis. And there were tentative winners Chile's Allende, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Muskie on election night, Heath in victory, Nader conference, return of Ali. Defeats have a finality about them, but isn't it odd that victory often seems equivocal and temporary? The natural disasters, as usual, tended to make man's self-inflicted wounds more picayune and senseless. Pakistani cyclone survivors and earthquake in Peru seemed to shrink human beings but deepen the human sickness that led to death at Kent State, murdered Philadelphia policeman; Jackson State shooting, massacre in Cambodia, and San Rafael kidnaping, not to mention Biafran victim. Deaths of Leaders Two funerals resulting from natural deaths are pictured Nasser's and De Gaulle's.

The Egyptian's departure had a contemporary pertinence, although history may reckon the French leader had the edge in influencing his time. De Gaulle was gone from stage center at his death; Nasser was very much in the eye of a storm which has yet to spend its fury. Though the Egyptian's backdrop was Biblical, the ancient scribes would surely have found.the Frenchman a worthier protagonist. The unexpectedness of Nasser's death shocked President Nixon aboard the 6th Fleet carrier Sa.atoga in the Mediterranean. Unsure of its consequences in a world where passions overflow in joy and grief, the President ordered a muting of American firepower.

And a reporter observed in some truth. "You don't rattle your bombs at a corpse." In time's pantheon of villains and heroes, two men strangely radiate an air of triumph even though both, in a sense, are in custody. The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, head erect and smiling, walks between two FBI agents, literally a prisoner. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet 'author and Nobel Prize winner, also smiles as if mocking his particular tyranny.

Grisly monuments to futility are seen in town house bombing and tear gas in Berkeley, for the New Left revolution was a largely media-created myth; it was less believable than the society it claimed was without credibility, and it was sustained by neither faith nor vision, and therefore stood morally indigent as a cause. A diminishing lifestyle, the emptiness of which haunts its adherents, is marked by M3nson on trial and wanted Weathermen. It is a quaint commentary on 1970 that novelty was depicted in Guerrillas BOAC jet and Laporte bier, the selective use of kidnaping and murder for broad political purposes. The precedent alarmed powerful governments, and probably implanted delusionary notions in two-bit extortionists It gave the bodyguard business a stimulus. Pedestrian Year The 1970 was a goulash of disasters and moderate triumphs.

It was a pedestrian year, distinguished if that is the right word by undistinguishable men, caught up in small, contrived purposes, carrying no torches, driven by no urge more sublime than to survive and savor their roles as competent caretakers. However, any year in which the nation and world avoid the ultimate disaster must be counted a plus for mankind. On that note, hail 1971! but this appeared to be what hap- -pened: At the game's end, there was a rush for the exit stairways. But, witnesses said, in stairway No. 13, a group of Ranger supporters who had left early were trying to get back up on hearing their team had scored.

They ran right into the mass of supporters trying to leave and were engulfed. The steel barrier gave way and the whole crowd was precipitated down the stairwell. All of the dead were men, most of them in the 20s and early 30s. Prime Minister Edward Heath 'ordered an immediate investigation. "It is a tragedy which is beyond my comprehension," Mayor Liddle Witnesses said the ground looked like a "battlefield" with bodies laid out by the goal posts.

Firemen and nurses struggled to free the dead and injured. The tragedy at Ibrox Stadium was the second to hit the soccer world over the New Year's holiday. On New Year's eve a chartered plane carrying members of an Algerian soccer team to a match in Spain crashed into the Mediterranean. A search plane sighted wreckage of. the plane Saturday and reported there was no indication any of the 31 aboard Compiled From News Wires Glasgow, Scotland Fans surging out of their seats at the end of a hotly contested soccer game knocked down a steel crowd barrier in the stands Saturday and police reported 66 persons perished in a massive human pileup down a stairway.

Some were trampled to death; others suffocated in the pile. Officials said 108 others were in-' jured in Britain's worst sports disaster, three critically. "Somebody fell. Somebody fell on' top of him and it snowballed," a police sergeant reported. He wept as he told of trying to dig out survivors from "a mound of dead." The game between the Celtics and the Rangers ended in a 1-1 tie.

The-teams are traditional rivals. Roman Catholics support the Celtics and Protestants the Rangers. A fleet of. ambulances rushed the most seriously hurt to the. city's hospitals but many more were given first aid treatment at Ibrox Stadium, where 80,000 had turned out for the game.

"It Is quite clear that a great number died of suffocation," said Glasgow's mayor, Sir Donald Lid-die. The collapse came right at the end of a game, which had already been marred by numerous fights between fans. A number of arrests were made. Officials said they were still investigating the causes of the disaster Remains of Man Crucified In Biblical Era Discovered (c) New York Times Service Jerusalem A team of Israeli scholars has announced the discovery in the outskirts of Jerusalem of a skeleton of a man crucified about 2,000 years ago. It has long been known that crucifixion was a common method of punishment and execution in the ancient world.

But this discovery was regarded as the first physical evidence of an actual crucifixion in biblical times.

The Democratic leader said he What 91st Did, Page 2 A Nixon Signs Bills, Page 3 A considered the reassertion of the" Senate's power in foreign policy" a major achievement of the 91st Congress. The congressional session was the longest since that of the 81st Congress two decades ago. That one, like this one, ended on Jan.

2. In the waning hours, while the House marked time, the Senate kept arguing about the SST. Sen. William Proxmire, demanded assurances on the Senate record that -there will be separate votes on the SST subsidy when the appropriations measure comes up again next year. He settled for less: assurances of a separate vote, but not separate legislation.

In addition, Mansfield resigned his seat on the Senate transportation, appropriations subcommittee and offered it to thus assuring him a permanent base of operations on the SST issue. The resolution to keep federal transportation programs in money until March 30 means SST spending can continue at a rate equal to $210 million a year, the figure written into the compromise appropriations bill. Sen. Alan J. Bible, said that means a total of $51.7 million in SST appropriations can be used before the resolution expires.

The Cornhusker Marching Band, which participated in Orange Bowl festivities, returned by air at mid-morning Saturday.

Headed homeward also were thousands of Nebraskans who followed the team to Miami. The University of Nebraska ticket office sold 16,000 tickets to the game and was unable to fill all orders. Some estimates on the number of Nehraska partisans actually on hand at Miami ran to double that number. If there was no dancing in the streets Saturday, it was because so many Husker enthusiasts were still in Miami and the NU student body remains on holiday vacation until Monday. NU Marching Band Director Jack Snider was contacting his bandsmen and asking them to provide music at the rally.

Egyptian Airliner Crashes at Tripoli Tripoli, Libya (if) An Egyptian jetliner crashed into a sand bank while approaching Tripoli Airport in stormy weather Saturday and burned, Jeane Dixon Tells Her 1971 Vibrations than two years ago in one of several cave tombs in northeastern Jerusalem. Academic circles in Jerusalem had been eagerly awaiting the publication of the scholars' report, but many scholars had privately expressed nervousness over the danger of provoking unwarranted attempts to relate the discovery to the gospel story of Jesus. "An initial anthropological approach to the first material evidence of a crucifixion does not exclude a certain emotional concern," wrote Dr.

Nicu Haas, senior lecturer in anatomy of the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical Center, who directed the detailed examination of the remains. "We must remember that the act of crucifixion was performed on many thousands of Jews and Gentiles, before and after Jesus of Nazareth. This form of punishment was a customary one in Phoenician and, later, Roman law." Detailed archaeological evidence indicates that this crucifixion took place early in the Christian era. The victim was between 24 and 28 years old, and of average height and stature. From the well-proportioned bone structure, Dr.

Haas concluded that he had a almost feminine" appearance, characteristic of the ideal Hellenistic youth. A slight asymmetry in the skull and facial skeleton suggested a difficult birth. There were no signs that he ever engaged in heavy manual labor, or suffered any serious injuries before his crucifixion.

I see 1971 as the "Year of Light," in which many problems will move toward solutions. Many people are asking questions about the fruitless American foray into the prisoner of war camp at Son Tay. Apparently my warnings of a security leak have fallen on deaf ears, so I repeat that information about U.S. military operations will continue to be passed on to the opposing forces by highly placed officials in two civilian agencies in Washington. From the vibrations I get, the camp at Son Tay was deserted hastily as the result of a tipoff from these civilian officials, just as the Soviets also were alerted to.

the Cambodian incursion. The President In 1971 President Nixon will make at least five changes in the White House staff. (The person responsible for security leaks in the Nixon administration has left public office.) Nixon will also make two cabinet changes. Assassination attempts against the President were thwarted by U.S. security forces, as wili be other assassination attempts.
