Robertson, English clergyman. The Rev. Msgr. Richard Sweeney has been appointed pastor of Blessed Sacrament Catholic parish here, succeeding Msgr. Newman Flanagan, who died Sunday after serving the church for 40 years.

The announcement was made Thursday by Most Rev. Frank Greteman, bishop of the Sioux City diocese, who also said he has appointed the Rev. Msgr. Lawrence Hoffman, pastor of the Cathedral of the Epiphany, to succeed Msgr. Flanagan as vicar general of the diocese.

Msgr. Sweeney, who has been administrator of the Blessed Sacrament parish during Msgr. Flanagan's illness, also has been named dean of the diocese's southwest deanery, succeeding Msgr. Hoffman in that post, Bishop Greteman announced. Bishop Greteman said he has appointed the Rev.

Yet there was little or no outside speculation on the subject of McAllister's tenure at the time. There obviously were reasons why the council decided apparently at a secret session, since reporters covering City Hall did not know of the action until Thursday's press conference to let McAllister go.

Yet repeated questions by reporters failed to bring satisfactory answers from the council. It is up to the council members to reveal the events that led up to the city manager's ousting in fairness to McAllister and to the people of Sioux The city council, in announcing the dismissal of City Manager Wes McAllister, sidestepped the issue of why he was fired except for indicating the action was taken for a number of reasons. That explanation is not good enough. The people of Sioux City, the taxpayers who support the city government, are entitled to a better accounting from the elected council members. It was a surprise to the general public that McAllister's job was on the line.

As far as we know, there had been no public hints that the city manager was on the way out, or for that matter any rumors of the council's eventual decision. The public's "right to know" was violated by the council and it should come forward with adequate background information. That McAllister's post was in jeopar ioux Center at modity groups, bankers, packers and others, as well as cattle feeders, will testify on the impact low cattle prices have had on the industry and rural America. Questions also will be raised as to the reasons for the disparity between the prices producers receive and the continued high price of beef in grocery outlets. Because of the large number of witnesses expected, Clark said, testimony will be limited to 10 minutes for each witness with the hearings record held open for additional written statements.

Members of the Iowa Congressional delegation will be invited to participate. IT has not been determined at the present time which members of the Senate committee will attend or who the witnesses will be. By Andy Montgomery Journal Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. The Senate Agriculture Committee will open two days of hearings into the current depressed cattle market in Sioux Center, Iowa, on Jan. 16, U.S.

Sen. Dick Clark (D-Iowa) announced Thursday. A second hearing has been scheduled for Maquoketa, in eastern Iowa, on Jan. 17. Both hearings are an outgrowth of a series of meetings held here last week by a delegation of Sioux County cattlefeeders.

The Sioux Center hearing will convene at 9 a.m. and continue through 3 p.m. in the sales barn of the Tri-State Livestock Auction Co. Representatives of farm organizations, com withdrawal from all the lands it occupied that year, and elimination of the consequences of the 1948 aggression through the eradication of Israel." Will withdrawal from occupied territories guarantee Israel's sovereignty in view of the above? Mr. Rehal asks if attacks from the north would continue if Egyptian and Syrian territory were returned.

But did not such attacks take place constantly before the 1967 war and occupation? The Palestinians seek a homeland which was never theirs. There never existed, in history, a Palestinian state. Rejected by their own Arab brothers, Israel has offered compensation to these "displaced" persons. This offer has been rejected. Meanwhile, those Arabs who have integrated into Israeli life have prospered economically, physically and politically, with full Israeli citizenship and Arab representation in the Knesset, Israel's highest legislative body.

Israel, too, desires peace and justice; Israel, too, desires security for the sovereignty of all nations in the area. Israel also desires to survive and it is this that the Arabs seem unwilling to grant. Stanley H. Bard, 2613 Nebraska St. Iowa Liquor Laws Need Change SIOUX CITY -1 feel I must reply to Jim Rehal's letter of Dec.

3. Mr. Rehal states that the Jewish immigration rather than the Arabs was responsible for displacing the Palestinian refugees. Yet the Arabs themselves indicate otherwise. A statement by an Arab refugee quoted in Al-Difaa (an Amman Jordan daily) on Sept.

6, 1954, stated, "The Arab governments told us, 'Go out so we can get in! So we got out, but they didn't get in." Mr. Rehal states that the Jews did this "to create the State of Israel." The State of Israel was created by the United Nations, as a Jewish national homeland, following a precedent that had been set by the League of Nations before it, the Balfour Declaration before that, and the fact that Jewish immigration to the land had been flowing freely long before the 1948 Declaration of Statehood. Mr. Rehal states, "Israel's sovereignty would be much more secure by having happy neighbors than by occupying their land." Yet again, Arab sources themselves dispute his assertion. Mohammed Hassahein Heikal, the influential editor of the Egyptian Daily, Al Ahram, responded to those who would question Arab goals in an article on Feb.

25, 1971: "There are only two sepcific Arab goals at present: Elimination of the consequences of the 1967 aggression through Israel's That there is something wrong with Iowa laws dealing with the amount of liquor residents may bring into the state is painfully obvious. Arrests were made in Sioux City some time ago; seven per-f sons were arrested recently in eastern Iowa for carrying more liquor from the Illinois Quad Cities than allowed by law, and now three more arrests were made here last Tuesday. As a result of the Quad Cities inci-! dent, an eastern Iowa lawmaker plans to introduce a bill in next year's legislature to allow residents to carry back from United Way Allocations Union Soundly Beaten other states as many as five quarts of liquor. Presently the law allows only one The answer is relatively obvious. Illinois and Nebraska liquor sales are not handled by the states but by private retail outlets.

As a result, their prices are competitive, the purchaser has a wider variety from which to choose and the merchandising is far more efficient. Often, it must be pointed out, Iowa liquor store stocks are lacking in even the more popular brands. Shopping in a Nebraska store, for example, is much easier than in a state-operated outlet and there is a more attractive selection of brands available. Simply put, private enterprise provides better merchandising than does the state. Customers generally gravitate to the store that offers the best bargains and has a wide selection of merchandise; Iowa liquor stores unfortunately don't fall into that category.

Until the legislature grapples with the over-all liquor policy, we believe the bill planned by Rep. Thomas Higgins of Davenport is a step in the right direction. But Iowa's goal should be to turn the sale of liquor over to private firms that can offer Iowans the type of sales and service they obviously want and aren't getting under the state-operated liquor system. nnoimced Wurlitzer Concert SIOUX CITY Mrs. Ronald Brunton wrote in The Journal's Public Forum that she desired more programs featuring the "Mighty Wurlitzer" organ at the auditorium.

The directors of the Sioux City Concert Course agree with her and have scheduled a concert on the Thomas A. Mould "Mighty Wurlitzer" organ featuring Paul Quarino as guest artist. Mr. Quarino is a pipe organ specialist with the Wurlitzer Company in DeKalb, 111. and delighted the guests who attended the dedication performance of the organ last spring.

The concert is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20. Tickets are available by writing the Sioux City Concert Course, 402 Commerce Building in Sioux City, or calling 258-5157. Mark F.

Gardner, president, Sioux City Concert Course. quart per person. Meanwhile, the director of beer and liquor law enforcement in the Iowa Department of Public Safety says he will continue to have agents policing Iowa's borders with Illinois and Nebraska. And that means Sioux City and Council Bluffs continue in the pattern. It is time, we think, for the Iowa Legislature to take a good, hard and comprehensive look at the state's over-all policy on liquor legislation.

The first question legislators might ask themselves is why do Iowans want to shop for and buy liquor in neighboring states?

The Siouxland United Way Agency Relations Committee, chaired by Mark Gardner, has just completed a year-long series of sessions which culminated in recommendations about how the funds raised in the United Way campaign which is just ending should be allocated to member agencies and services.

The sessions, which involved about 500 man-hours of effort by volunteer committee members, developed recommendations which the Siouxland United Way Board of Directors adopted. Other Agency Relations Committee members are: Chance Williams, associate chairman, Dr. William Anderson, Tom Burke, Dudley Conner, Alex Kedrock, William Kunze, E. C. Peterson, U.

TAMA, Iowa Special: Affiliation with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America was soundly defeated by employes of Tama Meat Packing Corp. in an election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board here. The vote was 135 against the union to 10 for affiliation. Officials of the company said the Amalgamated campaign among the workers for affiliation began in August and the company received a petition for representation in September.

Tama Meat Packing Corp. is a subsidiary of Kane-Miller Corp. of New York and commenced operations on Sept. 27, 1971. Fred Shover, president of the company and Ron Plueger, vice president and plant manager, lauded workers of the Tama-Toledo-Belle Plaine area.

Mrs. Hansell Hillyer, wife of the president of the Savannah Gas already had demonstrated what restoration could mean in the small Trustees' Garden. Now Anna C. Hunter, artist and newspaper woman, threw her energies into the monumental task of saving an area of two square miles with 1,100 houses.

Much work remains to be done, but a visitor who returns to Savannah, after a lapse of 20 years, is stunned by the beauty and the charm of the downtown city. Some 900 houses have been restored. Marshall Row on Oglethorpe Avenue, which 10 years ago was in apparently irretrievable decay, has regained its old elegance. There is not a prettier oasis in any American city than Monterey Square. And the key point is this: People live and work here.

This is no museum. It is a thriving, viable city, as intimate as Florence a city of live oaks and fountains, brick walls and cobblestones, of sunlight shuttered through palmetto leaves. ooo I DO NOT mean to slight other cities engaged in the same vital work. Charleston, Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, and Richmond are recapturing a graciousness that once seemed lost. Farther west, Denver and Seattle have caught the spirit of preservation.

San Antonio's river development deserves all the acclaim it has received. But in Savannah, the task was unusually large and the financial resources were lamentably small. The city, at a crucial point, found leadership and vision. Given a city worth preserving, that is all it takes. SAVANNAH, Ga.

So much of the news we read today is news of failure of things that go badly that it may be a welcome change to read of a thumping success. The beautiful old port city of Savannah is demonstrating to its own people, and to a mounting stream of visitors, that downtowns don't have to die. Savannah's inner city is happily alive. It wasn't always that way. Over the past 240 years, since James Oglethorpe laid out the city in 1733, Savannah has known its ups and downs, but far more downs than ups.

Prior to the War for Southern Independence, as it still is termed in these parts, Savannah seemed destined for glory. Its cotton exchange was thriving; its bankers were building wealth; no ambition seemed out of reach, ooo THEN CAME Sherman, marching through Georgia, and the dream collapsed. Cotton declined as synthetic fibers came along. Lumber gave way to other building materials. Naval stores lost their importance.

Savannah grew, but it didn't grow greatly. Its 1970 population of 118,000 was a thousand less than the city reported in 1950. Yet some exciting things have been happening in Savannah. Call it renaissance, or call it a new spirit, or credit the city's resurgence to a band of dedicated leaders who saw values worth preserving. The city boasts a new cultural center, the home of its symphony.

Its port leads the South Atlantic Range, with eight million tons of bulk and general cargo last year. By 1976, a $6 million dollar urban Again am asked where we got the phrase "robbing Peter to pay Paul." English clergymen started that. In 1712. They took the bells from Westminster's Church of St. Peter to hang in the newer St.

For instance, a size 12 may be labeled size 10. Only weasel-type animal ever run over by a car is the skunk, please note. Why is simple.

So many generations of skunks have successfully defended themselves against the big beasts that they just can't believe cars have no noses.

Coffee drinkers are even more likely to get ulcers than whiskey drinkers, it's now claimed If you spell out the name of all 50 states, you'll use every letter in the alphabet, except one. Which one? Note it stated no circumstances whatsoever permit you to pick your teeth at the table. That claim is wrong.

Not wrong hereabouts maybe. But it's quite all right at the table in Europe to hold a napkin to your face while you pick your teeth. SHOTGUN Q. "What's a shotgun house?" A. That's one of those Depression-days buildings wherein all the rooms are lined up in one row.

LOVE AND WAR Client asks our Love and War man to identify the fellow who first said, "Love is blind." One Propertius wrote, "Everybody in love is blind." That's close enough, is it not? Remarkable how no two people define love similarly. Plato said, "Love a grave mental disease." In Romans "Love is the fulfilling of the law." Swedenborg said, "Love in its essence is a spiritual fire." And how do you like Lord Dewar's definition? He said, "Love is an ocean of emotion, entirely surrounded by expenses." Addrmu mail lo M.

In a burst of brilliant inspiration, Oglethorpe conceived the city long ago as a cluster of 24 squares. Around each of these small parks, great homes and elegant row houses arose. Churches flourished. Then the same cancer set in that has afflicted so many old cities. A movement developed toward suburbs and subdivisions.

The whole of the downtown area seemed destined to become a shabby southern slum. A turning point came some 20 years ago, when downtown merchants, in a desperation move, succeeded in demolishing the old city market at Barnard and Congress Streets. The market admittedly was in sad shape, but it housed the colorful hucksters of old Savannah. They used to sit on stools along the sidewalk, shelling beans and selling crabs, talking the geechee dialect. Nothing could save them from progress.

The merchants tore down the market and erected the world's ugliest parking garage on the site. ooo SAVANNAH reacted in shock. Loss of the market galvanized 700 45,023 The owners of KMNS Radio in Sioux City have announced the purchase of KDVR-FM in Sioux City, subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Dick Chapin, president of Siouxland Broadcasting, (KMNS), made the announcement Thursday. KDVR is being purchased from Wolfe Broadcasting Corp.

The president of Wolfe Broadcasting, Edwin C. Wolfe, is a native of Sioux City who resides at 1614 Morningside Ave. Al Mangum, vice president and general manager of KMNS said KDVR's existing power will be increased to provide better coverage. New studios and transmitting equipment also are planned. The present studio and transmitter is located at 6700 Correctionville Road.

KDVR operates at 97.9 on the FM dial and has been on the air since February of 1960. $721,520 $750,380 Agree on Foreign Aid Bill WASHINGTON (AP) Senate-House conferees agreed Wednesday on foreign-aid appropriations bill, including $2.2 billion in emergency military aid for Israel. The conferees also recommended $150 million for emergency military aid to Cambodia, principally to replace ammunition for government forces fighting North Vietnamese-supplied insurgents. Both the Israeli and Cambodian provisions are subject to passage of separate authorizing legislation. An Israeli aid bill, excluding Cambodia, is to be debated in the Senate Thursday..
