There have been a centennial ball, centennial worship services, interment of a time capsule to be opened in the year 2074 if Grand Forks is still there parades, antique shows, a contest for fiddlers and parades, beards, old clothing and all the rest, including an historical "spectacle" with a large cast in the UND stadium. No doubt hundreds of former Grand Forks residents have come back for centennial week, making it also a time of grand reunion. Congratulations to Grand Forks on achieving this distinguishing milestone in its still young and always thriving history.

social and commercial stability of the community. Next greatest event may have been the invention of the potato, which occurred even before Grand Forks was born. Thanks to the potato, acres upon acres of black land around Grand Forks produce rich harvests of dollars, and thanks also to the lowly tuber Grand Forks has a number of potato millionaires. Grand Forks also is the home of the State Mill and Elevator and has one of North Dakota's two air bases. It has produced many of the state's most prominent citizens and continues to be North Dakota's second city in point of population.

As did Bismarck two years ago, Grand Forks has lined up all kinds of festive events to mark its centennial, some strictly for fun and some pioneers lived within miles of the location. In 1871, equipment for a sawmill and general store, plus a few settlers, were dropped off by a river steamer. In 1873, the territorial legislature created Grand Forks County, in 1875 the city of Grand Forks was platted and in 1878 the first village government was established. There were settlers in the Bismarck area prior to 1872, too, but it was in that year that Edmonton, fore-runner to Bismarck, was established, and that's why Bismarck celebrated its centennial two years earlier. Probably the greatest thing that ever happened to Grand Forks was the establishment of the University of North Dakota there.

Today some 8,000 students and a substantial faculty contribute vastly to the intellectual, Bismarckers can recollect back a couple of years and enjoy vicariously once more what Grand Forks people are experiencing now. This is the year that the university city on the Red River is celebrating its centennial. That's what Bismarck did in 1972. This doesn't necessarily mean that Bismarck is two years older than Grand Forks. Some Grand Forks people wanted to make 1970 the Grand Forks centennial year, pointing out that it was in 1970 that a postmaster, Sanfor C.

Cady, was appointed there.

Fuchs and Juliana deny this as a baseless whopper. Juliana told us he was advised the attack was serious by two friends in the labor movement. He gave Caulfield a full report of his talk, he said, adding that the President should visit Meany in the hospital or send flowers. Within a few days, sure enough, not flowers, but cigars reached Meany from the White House. In another case Caulfield probed the Long Island paper Newsday which was preparing an expose of presidential crony Charles "Bebe" Rebozo.

"The forthcoming Newsday article was a matter of constant conversation around, the White House," recalled Caulfield. One day, he said, "I bumped into (Rebozo) in the hall of the White House," Rebozo was "concerned." But Caulfield assured Rebozo he was already on the case. WASHINGTON Even as President Nixon was courting political support from George Meany, the White House "dirty tricks" crew was conducting a back-door probe to see whether the crusty, then 77-year-old AFL-CIO boss would survive a serious chest hernia. As part of the snooping, according to "dirty tricks" chief Jack Caulfield, the White House used a management consultant posing as a doctor to try to squeeze medical data out of Meany's personal physicians. Meany's doctor denies he furnished medical information.

The consultant agrees, saying he told Caulfield he obtained the information from two labor officials. But Caulfield nevertheless fobbed the "medical" reports off on President Nixon as coming straight from Meany's doctor. According to Caulfield, the clandestine operation on Meany was ordered by former White House counsel John Dean, probably at the direction of ex-Nixon aides H. R. Haldeman or John Ehrlichman.

In a room locked to the public and the press, Caulfield told the Senate Watergate committee of the Meany caper and previously undisclosed details of his other hidden White House chores. These, he reluctantly confessed, involved presidential nephew Don Nixon, former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, the Ford Foundation, the newsmen who revealed the My Lai slaughter, the Nixon campaign's chief of Jewish affairs, "Newsday" and many others. To carry out his probes, the "dirty tricks" impresario got the willing help of a New York FBI agent; the White House resident Jesuit, Father John McLaughlin, who recently defended on the condition of George Meany" in 1971, Caulfield was asked by committee lawyer Terry Lenzner. "Apparently a memorandum went from Dean to the President," said the ex-New York City detective. "There was intense interest, I do recall, on the part of many people at the White House.

"I received it from a friend of mine," said the ex-White House official. "Who was that?" demanded Lenzner. "Mr. James Juliana," Caulfield finally acknowledged, naming an ex-investigator for the lateSen.

"Actually, she's like those jewels you wore she was not a personal gift, she was a gift to the country!" Must Radios Have Both AAA, FAA Bands? An unusual coalition of liberal con-sumerists and anti-big government conservatives almost defeated the measure, studies presented to his subcommittee by FM supporters showing that the cost of adding FM to a car radio was about $7 and even less for home radios. Congressional Quarterly By Congressional Quarterly WASHINGTON Congress is considering a proposal FM radio broadcasters have been promoting for the past five years a requirement that most radios come equipped to pick up both AM and FM signals. The FM broadcasters and their congressional supporters say it will put these stations on an equal footing with the older, more prosperous AM stations, and offer listeners a wider range of choices. But others object that the government has no business forcing people who want only AM receivers to buy more expensive radios with FM bands as well. On a close 44-42 vote, the Senate passed a bill June 13 that would authorize the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require all radios costing more than $15 to have both AM and FM bands.

FM channel assignments are lying fallow and many FM stations which are on the air operate at a loss." "The American consumer is probably not aware that we have reached the limit on AM frequencies and that virtually all new radio stations will be FM stations," said Sen. Frank E. Moss (D-Utah). "They buy radios today unsuspecting of the fact that they are vastly limiting their horizons." The expansion of FM will give a much needed boost to public, noncommercial radio with its excellent coverage of government affairs, Moss said. "You get some high class cultural music over FM," Pastore added.

He also argued that the added price consumers will be forced to pay for AM-FM radios would be insignificant, citing Pro The AM-FM bill "is intended to assure that the American people receive the maximum radio broadcasting service available," said Sen. John O. Pastore during Senate debate. According to figures gathered by Pastore's communications subcommittee, listeners whose radios do not have FM bands miss "nearly 42 per cent" of the stations now on the air. About 90 per cent of home radios receive FM, but almost 72 per cent of car radios have AM only.

So most FM stations don't have access to what is called drivetime the most lucrative time of the broadcasting day, when advertisers have a captive audience of commuters. Because of all this, Pastore said, "many NEW YORK (AP) American Roman Catholic bishops have won an extension by the Vatican of easier, faster matrimonial court procedures which have increased tenfold the number of annulments granted Catholics in this country. The simplified system, first allowed on an experimental basis in 1970, had been ordered ended as of this June 30, but the order now has been lifted on appeal by the U.S. bishops. Pope Paul VI decided to grant their petition for "the good of souls" by allowing continuation of the special procedures until a long-term project of revising Church canon law is completed, a Vatican letter advised.

Word of the turn-about assent resulted from the efforts of a six-man delegation sent to Rome in February by the U.S. bishops to plead with the Pope for extension of the liberalized rules. Msgr. Stephen Kelleher, an authority on Church marriage law, told an ecumenical conference sponsored this month at Garrison, Y. that the number of annulments granted in this country has climbed from about 700 in 1969 to a current figure of about 7,000 annually.

Even this total is "only touching the tip of the iceberg," he added, noting conservative estimates that at least 100,000 Catholic marriages a year end in divorce, leaving those involved excluded from Communion if they remarry without a Church annulment of their prior union. In Western Roman Catholicism, valid marriages are considered indissoluble. Divorce except in rare instances is not permitted. But marriages can be annulled if found invalid in the first place. Moreover, the reasons for finding them invalid have expanded greatly to include various psychological factors indicated at the time of the wedding such as "psychic irregularity," "lack of due discretion" and plain immaturity.

The Rev. John V. Dolciamore, an official of the Chicago archdiocesan marriage tribunal, told a convention of the Canon Law Society of America that the Church is increasingly recognizing "psychic incapacity" as a basis for annulment. "With the development of psychiatry and psychology, we are learning more and more about what constitutes a person to be a fit subject for marriage," he said. He cited documentation of 25 different psychic causes for finding marriages null, including alcoholism, anxiety neurosis, immature personality, inadequate personality, passive-aggressive personality and simply "personality disorders." In the past, the Church limited such grounds for annulment to cases in which a person lacked conscious free will such as being coerced, being drunk and insane.

surprising the bill's supporters and making House approval more questionable than they had hoped. Should the federal government require that most radios be equipped with both AM and FM bands? Major Hoople Way Back When From The Tribune Files of Years Ago Con "While it may not be a fundamentally important bill, it is one of those irritating busybody laws that pass unnoticed and take away just a little bit more of our 'unimportant freedom'," argued Sen. James A. McClure (R-Idaho). "I am one of the people here who generally are labeled by the critics as overeager to regulate what shall be put on the market," added Sen.

Philip A. Hart plead guilty to being overeager to regulate something if it affects my health and my safety, but beyond that I suggest we ought not go." Requiring car radios to have FM bands probably would cost consumers more than $7 per car, Hart said. One car radio manufacturer had told his antitrust subcommittee that the figure was more like $15 or $20, and Ford Motor Company put it at $55. "Very frankly I can't accurately predict what effect the legislation may have on price," FCC Chairman Richard E. Wiley confessed during hearings.

The consumer will not be able to take the FM supporters' study to his car dealer and say, i want an- FM radio and I will pay you $7 more Instead, the consumer has to fork ever $120," argued Sen. Roman L. Hruska "More FM receivers, and more public interest programs are a socially desirable goal, but those two factors must be brought together by something Congress cannot provide audience appeal," Hart said.

If some individuals now in Bismarck knew of the suspicion that rests upon them, they would not enjoy life in the highest degree. There have been many burglaries in Bismarck during the past three months. Clothes, food and money have been taken from business houses and attempts to enter dwellings have been made.

June 2H, The organizers of the proposed Elks lodge in the city have presented a petition to the board of city commissioners asking that a census of the city be taken at once (a minimum of 5,000 population being needed for a lodge.) The census of 1905 showed a population of 4,813 and there have been over 300 houses erected since that time and the population of the city should now be not less than 6,500.

Norman Beyl Mandan fQ Ray Ar Cromey WASHINGTON (NEA) You would think that Larry Pressler of South Dakota would be just what the Republican party is looking for. He's young, (32), a Rhodes scholar, ex-basketball player and student body president, a local small-farm boy and onetime 4-H leader in a farm community. He's a conservative in a conservative district, a former American Legion Post commander who served in Vietnam but is on the record as opposed to the way the war was fought. He's had several years successful government experience and began his political activity helping the late Sen. Francis Case, known as "Mr.

Clean" in South Dakota. Pressler swept through the First District of the South Dakota GOP primary with a clear majority in a field of three on a tight budget of $3,000 (half his own money), canvassing 300 voters daily and covering 4,000 miles and 100 towns. But despite that record, Pressler is in trouble with an influential section of his party hierarchy. He wants to meet Watergate head on, include it in the party platform, have Republicans take the lead individualism. As a result, he has no organization, no big backers and almost no funds.

He jumped into politics, in part because he wants to do something while he's young enough. While on duty at the State Department, he was bothered by officials who felt they must go on two trips a year at government expense, necessary or not. That lack of high sense of duty he saw around him kept gnawing. But what shook him into action was a public poll indicating that 27 per cent of the voters had confidence in the President and 21 per cent in Congress. Pressler believes he can be elected, and that he can have an influence on reform.

He would insist, for one, that representatives make their incomes public. He would limit House terms to four a total of eight years. Despite his disillusionment with some officials and politicians, what's obviously hit Pressler hard since he began campaigning is the attitude of the voters toward all politicians. It's clear, he says, that they're skeptical. He has lived in the area and has a lot of friends.

But when he gets among voters he doesn't know, he's repeatedly shaken by their attitude toward everyone running for office. It's clear to him that many don't believe him when he says he is going to make changes. They're nice about it but the feeling he gets is that his voters don't trust any politician, incumbent, challenger, old or young, Republican or Democrat. The campaign issue is clear: inflation. The question asked in one form or another invariably is why are interest rates so high for car or house buyers and why are prices at the grocery so inflated when farmers get so little? Voters see hanky panky here.

The South Dakota men and women Pressler meets are worried about corruption, too, but that issue is far behind prices. The single Watergate matter Pressler feels has disturbed the voters in his area most is the book of White House transcripts issued by President Nixon in his defense. Pressler says this was a shocker in South Dakota. The people he meets are offended by the language and the level of conversation, and the lack of high-mindedness in these tapes. They had expected more of their top officials.

Pressler believes enough questions have been raised that the voters will not be satisfied with less, and it's the only way President Nixon can exonerate himself. Pressler himself is a throwback to the old Midwest political school of insistent What happens from breathing this dirt.
