TV Highlights resentatives Henry Reuss Wis.) and Guy Vander Jagt is an evaluation of the Interior Department's response to the GAO's initial report to the House conservation and natural resources subcommittee. The Interior Department said the first GAO report "was not in all cases factual and accurate" and that its findings "were more representative of clerical shortcomings than dereliction." The new GAO report found: That the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) May 4, 1972, procedures "do not provide adequate criteria to deter mine when, and under what cir cumstances BLM should pre pare Individual environmental impact statements" pursuant to the National Environmental Po licy Act. That BLM has not yet issued an environmental impact state ment on the over-all coal leasing program although it was urged Oct. 26 by Chairman Russell F.

Train of the Council on Environ mental Quality, to "accelerate completion" of such a report. That although the department has made significant progress in the past four years in issuing and implementing regulations, further clarification and guid ance is necessary." That despite the fact that the BLM regulations require technical examination for every application for a permit or lease many required tech' nical examinations had not been made." That "notwithstanding the de partment's earlier position that further clarification of the rec lamation regulations is unnee essary, officials of BLM and the Geological Survey and subsequently informed GAO that they had begun to revise the implementing instructions as well as the regulations them' selves." In a letter to Interior Secre tary Rogers C. B.

1973 Wed 10-YEAR TERM IN EMBEZZLING By a Staff Writer WASHINGTON, IA. For- mer Kalona bavmgs Bank President Raymond L. Hen- drickson was sentenced Mouday in Washington County District Court to 10 years in the State Penitentiary at Fort Madison, given another 30 years in sus pended prison terms and fined $30,500 on four state charges stemming from a $100,000 em bezzlement at the bank. Hendrickson, 43, pleaded guil ty on Jan. 19 to the four charges embezzlement by a bank officer, embezzlement by public officer, uttering a forged instrument and making and giving a false certificate.

U.S. District Court Judge William C. Stuart sentenced Hendrickson last summer to two years in prison on a federal embezzlement charge and suspended all but one month of the sentence. The Washington County Grand Jury subsequently re turned four state indictments against Hendrickson on Nov. 20, 1972.

The indictments were the out come of the $100,000 shortage at the Kalona Savings Bank discovered in May and Hendrick- son's activities as Kalonas town treasurer. The indictments contended the former bank president "un lawfully converted to his own use portions of the public money entrusted to him," con verted bank funds and deposits to his own use, "uttered as genuine a forged instrument pur porting to be a promissory note," and gave the town of Kalona a "false certificate as to the balance on hand in the (town's) general fund." District Court Judge Ira F. Morrison sentenced Hendrickson to 10 years in Fort Madison on the forgery charge. The judge imposed a five-year sentence on the false certificate charge. The two sentences run concurrently, so Hendrickson would serve no more than 10 years.

The embezzlement by a pub lic officer charge drew a 10- year suspended sentence and a $30,500 fine and Hendrickson was given a 20-year suspended sentence on the embezzlement by a bank officer charge. Hendrickson also was ordered to pay all court costs. Hendrickson, who moved to Colorado after he served his 30- day federal sentence, was taken to Fort Madison Monday to be gin serving his state sentence. TV Viewers Get A Stag Surprise ALBANY, GA. (AP) Tele vision viewers who tuned what they thought would be police show Monday night got a stag film instead.

Viewers said about 12 minutes of the film was telecast before engineers discovered what was being aired in place of "The Rookies," usually seen at 8 p.m. Pete Freeauf, manager of the Gray Cablevision system, said two employes had been viewing a tape of the stag film in their off hours and had left the tape in a machine which was turned on at 8 p.m. by an automatic switch. Freeauf said the incident involved only Channel 8 in Albany. The employes, who were not identified, have been dismissed, Freeauf said.

UJHO-TV COLOR tapes for Catholics Who Get Abortions WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) -Roman Catholic bishops warned Tuesday that Catholics who undergo or perform an abortion "place themselves in a state of And the bishops said they are seeking ways to reverse the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

"We find that this majority opinion of the court is wrong and is entirely contrary to the fundamental principles of morality," said a pastoral message of the National Council of Catholic Bishops. "God's Law" "Those who obtain an abortion, those who persuade others to have an abortion, and those who perform the abortion procedure are guilty of breaking God's law," the message said. Moreover, it added, "In order to emphasize the special evil of abortion, under church law, those who undergo or perform an abortion place themselves in a state of excommunication." Excommunication means that Wednesday THE MAURY the subject is cut off from receiving the sacraments, John Cardinal Cody, archbishop of Chicago, 111., told a news conference. He said Catholics must oppose abortion as an immoral act and that "they have a moral obligation to protest it." Cardinal Cody accused the Supreme Court of having "overstepped itself," and said that in its recent decision on abortion it was "making law instead of interpreting it." The court held that in the early stages of pregnancy, the question of abortion is a matter between a woman and her doctor. Asked if the bishops had any real hope of overturning the court's decision, Cardinal Cody said: "We have great hope and very great determination."

(AP) Broadcast journalism has had an "exceptionally rough year" because of corporate timidity, public indifference and heavy criticism, a Columbia Univer sity panel said Tuesday. Considering these factors, "it is remarKaDie tnat any sud- a i a 1 treatment of controversial subjects got on the air, the seven-memoer panel said in commenting on the fourth annual Alfred I. DuPont- Columbia University Survey of Broadcast Journalism. "We feel there has been a decline in the number of courageous documentaries dealing with important subjects of controversy," the panel said. Thanks to various pressures, the national public television documentary is almost extinct." The panel did not attribute the decline in controversial network news programs to pressure from the Nixon administration, members of which have sharply criticized network news reporting.

Instead, the group blamed the public, the network and advertisers. Different View A somewhat different view was taken by a special commission of the National Council of Churches which announced at a news conference that it will campaign against what it said was a current "insidious at tack" on freedom of the press, I The national campaign will in- Hearing Aids er to make the decisions neces sary to resolve the impasse. The immediate problem is with Bell's new Trimlinc telephone, a compact model with the dial in the handset. That phone, and a new receiver due for installation soon in pay phones, is more compact and more durable than present re ceivers, but also emits less electromagnetic energy. The result is a weaker signal for persons whose hearing aid is equipped with a device which attaches to telephones.

Of the 3 million persons with hearing aids, about half those with the most severe hearing losses depend on such devices, a hearing industry spokesman said. The Hearing Aid Industry Conference wants Bell to stop installing the receivers until they are compatible with hear ing aids. Bell has proposed that hearing aid users buy a $5 amplifier the size of a hockey puck, but the hearing aid industry said it's impractical to expect persons with poor hearing to carry the amplifier around all the Itime. cil said. William F.

Fore, director of the council's Broadcasting and Film Commission, said the group was concerned about the recent jailing of newsmen for refusing to reveal their news sources, pressure on Droaa- casters from government officials and last year's veto by President Nixon of the Public Broadcasting Bill. "When the freedom of the press is under fire, we be-come equally concerned about the freedom of religion and its exercise in American life," Fore said. He said the commission had written to every local and state council of churches "alerting them to the need to develop a broad-based community support for strong and vigorous news from as many sources as pos sible both local and nation al." The Columbia study, which includes the panel's opinions. covers broadcast journalism from December, 1971, to De cember, 1972, a university spokesman said. Revenues Rising Panel members included Elie Abel, a former NBC corre' spondent who now is head of Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism, and Sig Mickelson, a former president of CBS News.

The panel complained that al though network revenues are again rising, "there is no com mensurate increase in the time allotted to regular news or public affairs programming It said the blame for this must be shared by viewers "who accept what is offered without complaint" and advertisers who consistently choose "the innocuous over the disturbing." "Both the networks and the sponsors, it said, "would make more plausible their protestations of unjust treatment by government agencies, dissident groups and critics in general if their investment in the worthwhile were more con spicuous on television re gardless of the ratings."
