I'ugc Journal-Vims. Hamilton Fail-Held. Ohio Saturday. April iii. pleads innocent; bitter over news coverage LOS ANGELES (AH) Movie director Roman Polanski, master of macabre films, pleaded innocent Friday to charges he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl who was to have modeled for still photographs.

"lam innocent and I can't wait to be vindicated, he told He expressed bitterness at the widespread publicity which has surrounded his legal problems. "I think the press has handled it very poorly," Polanski said as he fought his way through a throng of photographers and reporters. Moments earlier, Polanski stood before Superior Court Judge e. Talbot Callister and answered "Not guilty" when asked for his plea. At the prosecution's request, the judge transferred the case to Santa Monica, where a hearing was scheduled for next Wednesday for pretrial motions.

Polanski was arrested March 11 and was subsequently indicted by a county grand jury on multiple counts of rape, sex perversion and drug violations. Authorities have said he lured the young girl to actor Jack Nicholson's home under the pretense of taking pictures for a fashion magazine. They said he drugged and raped her at the actor's house. Nixon 'lonely' but 'very up 1 People Andy Young remark angers South Africa ROMAN POLANSKI SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Two women given a brief glimpse into the private world of Richard Nixon say the former president is lonely in exile Napoleon at Elba" but was surprisingly "very up" during taping for a series of television interviews.

"I think he wants to finally tell America his side of Watergate -whether anyone believes him or not," said Arline Genis, a 43-year-old interior decorator, who with Sandy Blake designed the set for the interviews conducted by television host David Frost. "1 think people expect and hope that Nixon will be down," said Ms. Genis. "But he wasn't that way at all. He was very up.

And very interested in all facets of the program. I think he's up because he has a project." But Nixon "is a very lonely man," she added. "He can't go anywhere. He can't make statements on government policies like other ex-presidents." The interviews with Nixon, who resigned amid the Watergate scandal, will be broadcast by independent stations in four segments beginning May 4. Frost's company reportedly paid Nixon $1 million, but "this is not only a monetary thing to him, I believe, but a catharsis," Ms.

Genis said. Ms. Genis and Ms. Blake, both of whom prefer that designation, said they tried to provide a "homey ambience" to the set. The taping was done at a Laguna Beach home rather than Nixon's San Clemente estate because Coast Guard radar near the estate would have interfered with the recording.

The two women visited the Nixon residence in preparing for the interviews. "He is now a prisoner in his own home," said Ms. Blake. "He is surrounded by security." carry on fight SAN FRANCISCO (AP) demonstrators who have occupied a federal building for 11 days testified from wheelchairs Friday that they are in the vanguard of a "new civil rights movement." "It is difficult to argue that the rights of disabled citizens should be any less protected than the rights of minority groups or Women," demonstrator Judy Hcumann told an ad hoc congressional committee chaired by Reps. George Miller and Phillip Burton, both D-Calif.

Lining the a a outside the crowded hearing room were the sleeping bags and air mattresses used by about 125 crippled, blind or deaf demonstrators who have occupied the fourth floor of the regional offices of Ihe U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare since April 4. The protesters are demanding that HEW Secretary Joseph Califano sign Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. The Section 504 regulations, passed by Congress in 197:5 but never implemented, are aimed at guaranteeing civil rights for the nation's handicaDDed. Eugene Eidenberg, an HEW representative from Washington, told the hearing that Califano would sign the regulations in early May.

He said the changes under discussion, which include exempting some new buildings from architectural access requirements, would ensure the regulations are "clear, workable and enforceable." Miss Heumann said the sit-in would last until the regulations are implemented in a form acceptable lo the handicapped or until they decide to take other action. She did not elaborate. Eidenberg said HEW had no plans to evict the demonstrators.

Groucho Marx murder target? Son says yes SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) Attorneys for Groucho Marx's son told a court Friday that the comedian's companion, Erin Fleming, is a threat to his life and should be removed as his temporary conservator. At the very least, attorneys for Arthur Marx contended in a hearing before Superior Court Judge Edward Rafeedie, a doctor should examine the comedian to make sure he is being properly treated.

The court heard a private detective testify that he found syringes stashed in a storm drain at Marx's home and also saw Miss Fleming shout obscenities at the 86-year-old comedian and scream at him to sign a check. Miss Fleming, about 40, has been appointed temporary conservator for Marx and has been his business manager for seven years. She is seeking to become permanent conservator. J. Brin Schulman, attorney for Marx's son, said he planned to have a doctor testify that the syringes found at Marx's home contained unprescribed barbiturates.

Schulman said the syringes were evidence that Marx's life was in danger as long as Miss Fleming remained conservator. Miss Fleming's attorney Stanley Gold told the judge, "Counsel has been pussyfooting around He suspects Miss Fleming may be attempting to murder Mr Marx." Rafeedie made no ruling and ordered the hearing to resume Monday. Farrah too sexy BROOKVILLE, Ohio (AP) Oh, you too beautiful girl. That was the decree Friday by Westbrook Elementary School principal Harry Eastridge as he ordred the shirts off the pupils' backs in this school near Dayton. Eastridge says its nothing personal, as a matter of face he says Farrah Fawcett-Majors is an effective "role model." After all, he said, "girls need a the photograph on the shirt is very revealing.

It's too sexy." Teachers were complaining: Students "were pinching and twisting at the shirts being worn on the school playground by other students during recess," the principal said. "It was not just an arbitrary decision. The shirts were causing a distraction." The withdrawal symptoms should begin any time now, especially for one Westbrook 8-year-old. "He wears it everywhere, even to bed and only takes it off when he takes a bath," reported the mother. Will called fake LAS VEGAS, Nev.

(AP) FBI tests have determined that the so-called Mormon will attributed to the late industrialist Howard Hughes is a forgery, state Ally. Gen. List said today. List made the disclosure in Clark County District Court, saying independent tests conducted by two FBI investigators in Washington, D.C., have determined that the three-page handwritten document represents "an unskilled attempt to copy or simulate the handwriting of Hughes." However, List said, the tests have failed to determine who wrote the document, which turned up last April 27 in the Salt lake City headquarters of the Mormon Church. WASHINGTON (AP) Ambassador Andrew Young was embroiled in another flap Friday as the State Department disputed his remark denying the legitimacy of the South African government and South African authorities demanded clarification.

Young, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, responded "yeah" when asked in an interview with The Associated Press whether he thought the South African government was illegitimate. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance called Young to inform him that he had misrepresented American policy. However, a Vance, spokesman said Young was not reprimanded.

"Although we do not agree with a number of policies and practices of South Africa, it is incorrect to say that the government of South Africa is illegitimate," State Department spokesman Hodding Carter told reporters. In New York, a spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations said Young was "aware that the State Department was going to make that statement." Young was out of the office and could not be reached. In Cape Town, South African Foreign Minister R. F.

Botha called in U.S. Ambassador William Bowdler and asked him whether Young's remark had been reported accurately. Botha would not say how seriously his government viewed the remark. Carter told reporters the United States would inform South Africa that Young's comment did not reflect official policy. In the interview with AP reporters William Oatis and Samuel Koo, Young said transfer to majority rule in South Africa is a "process that needs to begin immediately." After his news conference Friday, President Carter told reporters: "I've never asked members of the Cabinet to restrain themselves in their public statements.

One example has been Andy Young. I've never complained about what Andy does. "There has been criticism from other sources," Carter said. "I think we have a fairly open administration, and I think it's good for us to let the debates be extended outside the Congress and the White House into the public domain." He said American 'businessmen in South Africa could accelerate the process by ensuring that blacks get promoted to top managerial positions. Young was asked if he the South African government is illegitimate.

"Yeah," he answered. Would Young vote for a resolution which says that? "I would have to work with the State Department and see how that resolution was a part of over-all policy on South Africa," he said. In the past, the United States has voted against African resolutions in the U.N. declaring South Africa's government to be illegitimate. Young has said he views himself as a foreign policy point man.

He often has strayed from established U.S. policy in his public statements. Last week he described the British as being "a little chicken" on the race issue. He subsequently asked forgiveness from Britain's U.N. ambassador, Ivor Richard.

Meeting with reporters here last Monday, Young defended his outspokenness by saying: "I don't see where any harm's been done."
