People MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER Doc Severinsen, musical director of NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," UPI Photo is shown with his bride, Emily Marshall, shortly after their wedding. Wedding bells ring for Doc HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Bandleader Doc Severinsen has married television writer and editor Emily Marshall during private ceremonies at Severinsen's Hollywood home. The dapper bandleader and trumpeter on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" was married Saturday, his manager disclosed Wednesday. The couple met when she was sec- retary to "Tonight Show" producer Fred DeCordova. The ceremony was performed by a judge and was witnessed by actor John Ritter and his wife, Nancy.

It is the third marriage for Severinsen and the second for his wife, who has written for "The Bob Newhart Show" and "Angie." "Jaws" cruises city's streets RIVERTON, Wyo. (UPI) Area residents have jokingly dubbed an unusually decorated patrol car "Jaws Police Chief Dennis Horyza said the grill of one of Riverton's five patrol cars was knocked out recently in a minor traffic mishap and some off- duty officers apparently decided to take advantage of the situation to play a joke on police Sgt. Brad Locker. The pranksters cut strips of paper and placed them across the gaping hole to give the appearance of a shark's jaws, Horyza said. They then placed the lower half of a female mannequin on the front of the car so it looked like a woman being eaten alive by a shark.

Later, Horyza said, when the sergeant used the car to answer a call, he didn't notice the cruiser's new facade. As he was leaving the parking lot, a woman pointed to the front of the car and said, "Don't you think this kind of thing is a bad image for the Police Department?" Locker, not looking at his car and believing the woman was referring to the damaged grill, answered, "Things like that just happen," according to Horyza. When Locker arrived in the downtown area to break up a fight, Horyza said, the brawlers burst into laughter and apparently forgot their fight. But Locker, still unaware of his car's appearance, patrolled the streets for about another hour as people pointed at it and laughed, Horyza said. Gaudy duds for Alice Cooper Alice Cooper LOS ANGELES (UPI) Claiming T-shirts are passe, rock ghoul Alice Cooper is dressing his backstage road crew in brand new uniforms Cooper has acquired a set of the famous Nixon Administration White House guards uniforms.

The gaudy Ruritanian white jackets with black leather caps made only one appearance in 1970 as the White House official uniform before being thrown ignominously into cold storage. Last week, Iowa's Federal Surplus Division obtained a stock of them and Alice who is an acknowledged Nixon buff is getting his supply from the division. The official unveiling takes place June 17 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. "I think T-shirts and leather jackets the usual backstage uniform are passe these days," says Alice. "My guys in the old Nixon uniforms will add a lot of pomp to the circumstance." TV star's son elected DA SALEM, Ore.

(UPI) Chris Van Dyke, son of television star Dick Van Dyke, won election as Marion County, Ore. district attorney Tuesday. Van Dyke, a Salem attorney, won a majority of the votes in the four- candidate nonpartisan race, to avoid a runoff election in November. He will succeed Gary Gortmaker, who did not seek election to a fifth term. Missing Sweathog located PALM SPRINGS (UPI) The character Arnold Horshack became a household word during the days of the "Welcome Back, Kotter" television series.

But when the show went off the air, Horshack, known in real life as Ron Palillo, disappeared. Well, the missing Sweathog has been found. Palillo recently held his own art show in Palm Springs, where his pen-and-ink drawing titled "Three Witches From Macbeth" sold for $500. And this week, Palillo begins rehearsals in Seattle for his role as Charles Wykeham in the musical "Where's Charley?" Personality glimpses Telepictures Corp. has sold the controversial "Death of a Princess" in 34 countries but continues to honor the buyers' request their names not be released until they have consulted their" governments When syndicated New York columnist Beverly Stephen invented "Workadaddy," a magazine for working fathers, to satirize all the magazines aimed at working wives and mothers, everyone was ready to subscribe.

Even the three major television networks called McCalPs Magazine (the publisher of Working Mother) wanting to do a story on the new mag for working pops. Alas, it was all a part of Stephen's Miami finally recovering from riot's destruction MIAMI (UPI) Miami schools reopened Thursday and liquor sales resumed for the first time since the outbreak of the nation's worst rioting in 10 years, but bans on firearms and gasoline sales remained. Meanwhile, the FBI was investigating death threats against the four white ex-cops acquitted in the beating death of a black man. A federal grand jury began its investigation into the fatal beating and the failed prosecution that many blamed for the three days of rioting that began Saturday. The violence left 15 dead and property damage of up to $100 million.

-tr Consumer advocate says Darvon widely abused WASHINGTON (UPI) More than 11,000 people have died from overdoses of the pain-relieving drug Darvon since 1972, according to a consumer advocate who wants the drug banned or severely restricted. "Given the easy availability of (Darvon) it is not surprising that there is such widespread abuse of the drug," Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the Public Citizen Health Research Group told a congressional panel Wednesday. Patients can refill their Darvon prescriptions up to five times within six months without contacting their doctor, -tr -tr Bus accidents claim lives of 49 passengers NEW DELHI, India (UPI) Forty- nine people were killed in two passenger bus accidents in the southern state of Karnataka and the western state of Maharashtra, the Press Trust of India news agency reported Thursday. Thirty passengers were burned to death and 41 others seriously injured when a bus bound for Bombay flipped over Wednesday and caught fire near Dapoli town, 80 miles south of Bombay.

Nineteen people, including the driver, were killed and 40 others injured the same day when a bus fell into the river Khushavathi, 250 miles north of Bangalore city, capital of Karnataka, PTI said. VOLCANO (Continued from Page 1) clean up the volcanic debris. The president, who declared Washington state a major disaster area, flew into Portland, Wednesday night and met with governors Dixy Lee Ray of Washington; Victor Atiyeh of Oregon, and John Evans of Idaho for two hours in a federal relief center in Vancouver. At one point during Wednesday night's meeting, Miss Ray impatiently interrupted Carter's questioning of the volcano's status to say, "This is all very interesting, but we need help." When the president asked, "What do you need she replied by spelling out, "M-O-N-E-Y." Carter later told the governor to "just inventory very carefully all the needs we'll work out the costs." He announced no specific programs after the meeting. Because the volcano has quieted in recent days, the president spoke optimistically that the worst was over.

"We hope that the people will not be excessively concerned about aspects of the catastrophe for the future," he said in Portland before retiring for the night. "The ash (spread by the volcano) is not poisonous. It will not poison the land. We hope the crops will survive adequately." Carter also praised the courage and positive attitude he had found in North-' west residents after what he termed "one of the most devastating natural explosions our nation has ever known." Reagan aide leaves Bush ponders money woes By United Press International There is new dissension reported in the already once-revamped campaign of Republican front-runner Ronald Reagan but he may be able to coast until fall because challenger George Bush is broke. On the Democratic side, President Carter plans a day-long campaign foray into Ohio next week, while his opponent, Sen.

Edward Kennedy, says if Carter is the nominee the president may finish third and take Congress down with him. And independent contender Rep. John Anderson says he has completed the first phase of his exploratory candidacy and is in the race to stay. The day after multiple-primaVy Tuesdays usually is relatively quiet. This one was not.

Bush told a news conference in Ohio he is reassessing his campaign and will decide what to do within "a couple of days, two or three days." "We won a significant victory in Michigan," he said, but its impact was obscured by network tabulations that the 47 delegates Reagan won Tuesday in Michigan and Oregon had put him over the top of the 998 needed for nomination. The United Press International count Wednesday had Reagan at 989 delegates, still shy of the number neces- ssary for nomination. Bush said he had asked his campaign manager to do a reassessment, and doesn't know what the answer will be. Asked what he is reassessing, he said: "Money. Lets just sum it up in one word.

Money. I need money to continue this race." Reagan insiders in California said the campaign's director of operations with the unlikely name of Anderson Carter resigned because of unhappiness with the present campaign leadership. Anderson Carter said in a telephone interview he felt he had "fulfilled my commitment," since Reagan has enough delegate votes to win the nomination. And Reagan said Tuesday night the decision was Carter's: "Andy says himself that what his great talent is, and I agree with him, is the getting of delegates and that he is not as much at home in the general campaign." But campaign sources said Carter did not like the way campaign manager William J. Casey is running things, particularly his refusal to hire political professionals.

And others said it boiled down to: a contest between outside politicos And "the California mafia," a cadre long-time Reagan loyalists and aides with little experience in presidential election politics. President Carter booked a dayl.of campaigning in Ohio next Thursday. The state, with California and NJw Jersey, will provide the bulk of delegates to be chosen on "Super TuesdaJ" June 3. T. In Cincinnati, Kennedy came saying Carter cannot win in November.

With Carter heading the ticket, Je said, Democrats risk losing Congress and if the party nominates someone who offers only "a pale cftr- bon copy of the Reagan policy," nominee "may finish in third place this fall" behind Reagan and Anderson. Anderson, in California, said he has been so successful in filling the requirements for ballot access in every state since he declared his independent candidacy that he no longer is in "phase one" of his candidacy. "There really isn't any question in my mind," he told a news conference. "I'm going ahead Sure I'm in, sure I'm in." SPRING CLEANING B.K. Baysinger, Yakima, sweeps a layer of volcanic dust Ufl Photo from the roof of his home.

An estimated 800,000 tons of ash fell on the city. Ag department unsure of ash's effect on crops WASHINGTON (UPI) The Agriculture Department said Wednesday it still does not know what effect volcanic ash from Mount St. Helens will have on crops and livestock. It said transportation problems caused by ash dust poses a major problem to agriculture. However, the department said early reports of high toxicity in the volcanic ash have been modified it is now considered to be about the same acid content as rain water.

"What the effects will be on crops and livestock is speculative," said Roger Sandman, acting director of the department's Office of Intergovernmental Relations. "Early reports of high toxicity in the ash have been modified to a point where, for example, the acid content of the ash (in Montana) is considered to be about the same as rain water," he added. He said the ash is composed largely of silica 80 percent sulfur, magnesium, potash and potassium, with a small amount of salt, and "is not toxic to plants in the amounts present." "However, authorities are not in full agreement on the effects on plants," Sandman added. U.S. Senate candidate Simpson discloses millionaire's finances John M.

Simpson of Salina, who is seeking Sen. Bob Dole's (R-Russell) seat in the U.S. Senate, has filed his financial disclosure statement showing him to be among the millionaire class. Simpson, a resigned state senator, reported holdings with a minimum value of $3.6 million. The Salina lawyer's income last year, including capital gains, was in excess of $240,000, principally from his ranching and oil interests.

He also revealed he has received $117,000 from his partnerships so far this year. Simpson reported he and his family own 297 acres of farm land valued in excess of three ranches with a total of 10,562 acres valued at more than 55 separate savings accounts and certificates in excess of 13 notes receivable amounting to more than common stocks valued in excess of preferred stocks in excess of corporate bonds of more than municipal bonds and bond funds of more than farm equipment worth more than livestock valued at more than net working interest in two oil and gas leases valued at more than $350,000, and liabilities of more RECAL (Continued from Page 1) of the state, last January filed a lawsuit against the commissioners aitg Clark and Shelton to have the contract set aside. Murray contends the Hill City firm has been performing some of the county attorney's duties "without consulting me or asking my advice." That suit also is pending in the courts. The first commissioner to fac.e trouble because of his stand on the hospital issue was William Randall. Last December, petitions werj passed against Randall and, on April voters agreed to remove him from office.

Randall, who was replaced by Nict el, still attends commission meetings, however. He is fighting the recall action in court. The Supreme Court is ei- pected to hear the case early this summer. The recall attempt is the latest in round of disputes involving Thomas County and its hospital. Renner and Randall both have ported efforts to upgrade the current facility.

They repeatedly have refused to close the hospital in favor of a yet- to-be-built facility proposed by thji Thomas County Hospital Association, a group of local citizens which wants to finance its new $5.6 million hospital through donations and revenue bonds. 'n On April 1, voters agreed to close UHJ old hospital once the new one is built So far, however, the TCHA has beeri unsuccessful in obtaining a certificate' of need from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The association has been turned down once by Health and Environment Secretary Joseph Harkins. In light of the vote, Harkins agreed to reconsidejl his decision. A final ruling is expectecl soon.

j-1 This month, John Martin, hearing ofc- ficer for the latest effort to obtain certificate, recommended to Harking the certificate be denied for the secorit) time. "It is my conclusion that the posed facility does not satisfy the criteria of either community needs or financial feasibility, and it is my ommendation to the secretary oh the basis of the reconsideration, that the application be denied." Association attorney Don Concarinon, Hugoton, has objected to the recommendation, saying Martin has not been involved in the certificate of need process from the beginning and, therelqre, does not have all the facts before hlhC than $165,000. Simpson also noted he has an agreement with the law firm of Kennedy, Berkley, Yarnevich and Williamson that, if he performs legal services for clients while he is a candidate, he will be compensated. He also will continue to receive his $500 monthly salary from his family partnership. Last year he earned $2,500 from the law firm and $3,710 as a Kansas senator.

Simpson resigned from the Kansas Senate and switched political parties to seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. The Salina Journal P.O. 779 Zip Cod. 67401 Published five days a week and Sundays except Memorial, Independence and Labor Days, at 333 S.
