Warren dies at age 83 WASHINGTON (AP) Earl Warren, who served for 16 years as chief justice of a United States Supreme Court that was in the vanguard of social change, died Tuesday. He was 83. Warren was taken to Georgetown University Hospital July 2, suffering from congestive heart failure and coronary insufficiency.

Warren retired in June 1969 afted 52 years in public life as a prosecuting attorney, threetime overnor of California, twice aspirant for the Republican presidential nomination, once nominee for vice president, and finally chief justice. He and his wife, Nina, continued to live quietly in the hotel apartment which had been their home since they came to Washington from Sacramento in 1953. Following an illness within the past year, his public appearances became rare. During his years of retirement, Warren noted with some satisfaction, there was a lessening of the bitternesy toward him which once led to a proliferation of signs exhorting, "Impeach Earl Warren." For it was he who bore the brunt of criticism over disputed decisions by what was called "the Warren court," even though he and his fellow justices were unanimous on such a notable ruling as that which in 1954 outlawed racial segregation in public schools. As a private citizen, Warren made a dozen or SO public speeches a year, most of them philosophical or abstract discussions of the law, democracy and equal rights on which he continued to speak forcibly.

But in May 1973 broke a self-imposed four- -year silence to level sharp if indirect criticism at his" successor, Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, on the issue of whether the Supreme Court can adequately perform his duties. On the record SUITS FILED Filing divorce petitions in First Division Chancery Court Tuesday were Cheryl P.

The Smart Shop, Inc. 313 EAST MAIN STREET Cambodia asks peace talks PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) President Lon Nol of Cambodia extended an unconditional handshake to the Khmer Rouge insurgents Tuesday, suggesting peace negotiations without prior conditions.

But political sources said the government had made no contact with the rebels before making the offer, and few in Phnom Penh believed the insurgents would accept the hand- A letter every 2 seconds shake -at least not right away. Twenty miles north of Phnom Penh, government troops moving from two directions recaptured the 17th century royal capital of Oudong, encountering only scattered resistance from withdrawing rebel troops. The town was the target of a two-month government campaign. Oudong fell to insurgent forces last spring. (Continued from page 1) sumption of the 23 vehicles in a four week period was 1,200 gallons.

At the present time, Morgan said, consumption has been reduced to 750 gallons in the -week period. Since each carrier must make about 500 stops per day it is much easier, explained Morgan, to stop the vehicle in a general area and walk. By adding each carrier's stops there are a possibility of 9,700 stopping points. The local Post Office employes 63 persons. This includes 24 regular carriers and five substitute carriers, 14 clerks and three substitute clerks, six rural carriers and six maintenance men.

The actual revenue for the past fiscal year was $818,000 expenses included $819,000 for operating expense; $7,600 for vehicle expense; $14,711 for fuel, utilities and communications and $809,955 for salaries, Morgan reported. 'The local Post Office, built in 1931, is in "very good condition" the local Postmaster expressed. Nine years ago it was air -conditioned, Morgan continued. Explaining the use of the zip code, Morgan said that if no zip code is put on the piece of mail it does take longer for the letter to reach its destination. Letters are not checked by the state address but by the zip code, so if a letter is intended for another state but has the El Dorado zip code, it is sent to El Doado.

One reminder which Morgan wanted to point out is that local residence should not put "City" on the letter unless it is dropped into a box specifically for town" mail. WEDNESDAY FRESH, LEAN, SPARE Choice CLUB STEAK A. Shelnutt of Benton. The trial began Monday with a specially -appointed jury panel, but the case never made it to the jury. Shortly after the state rested its case Tuesday, Means met with Special Prosecutor Joe Holmes of Pine Bluff and Ted Boswell of Bryant, Shelnutt's attorney, in the judge's chambers.

Boswell asked for the directed verdict of acquittal on the ground that no evidence had been presented in the case to show Shelnutt guilty of embezzling funds from the Benton Retirement Inn, a nursing home. Means ruled in Shelnutt's favor. To the Cambodian government and its American supporters, Oudong's recapture symbolizes the growing optimism which led to Tuedday's unconditional offer for peace talks. That move followed two weeks of negotiations between U.S. Ambassador John Gunther Dean and Cambodian leaders.

Lon Nol said he hoped the proposed peace negotiations Judge directs verdict in case Ark. (AP) CirJudge Henry B.

Ritchie cites (Continued from page 1) in consumer electric bills were due to rising fuel costs that A. P.

and L. passes on to its customers. "Rates can be adjusted on a month to month basis with reference to the rising cost of fuel," he said. "In January of 1962, we were paying 25 cents per million BTU for natural gas. In May of this year, we paid 46 cents.

Fuel oil in January of 1972 cost us 64 cents per million BTU. In May of this year we paid $1.78 per million BTU," Ritchie "This has happened to all energy sources. Quite frankly I don't think there is any prospect of energy going back in the range of where we have known it in years gone by," he predicted. Ritchie said a growth trend in this nation and the corresponding consumption of petroleum, natural gas and coal products has led to the energy crisis. "Many industries, Ritchie said.

"Have turned to petroleum products as substitute fuels because natural gas was in short supply." don't see any prospects or projections throughout the year 2,000 where there is any probability of the U.S. becoming self sufficient in petroleum. We will always be importing some degree of it and this means we've got to convert to the use of other raw energy sources. The only ones we see feasible at this time are coal and nuclear," he concluded. Santiago, the Chilean capital has an abundant, allyear round water supply from the nearby Andes Mountains.
