The mostly wood sternwhee-ler, the last of the great river-boats of an earlier American era, ceased operations several weeks ago because of the Safe-ty-at-Sea Law. The measure requires that vessels carrying 50 or more passengers overnight must have metal superstructures. But the bill Nixon signed exempts the Delta Queen from the law until Nov 1, 1973 so the 42-year-old riverboat can resume traveling the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee rivers from St.

Paul, to New Orleans and St. Louis and Pittsburgh. attached to a House-Senate conference report askirg that, the government pay the moving expenses of a govemmat em--ploye.

Most people in Manila including President Ferdinand E. Marcos seem to accept this story. But Gen. Manuel Yan, the armed forces chief, is reported to have expressed belief that the only motive behind the raid was robbery aud that the story about joining the guerrillas was merely a smokescreen. There are others who claim that Gen.

Yan is only being sly and that the raid was so flawlessly executed that the military itself had to be in on it. These people contend the raid was a tricky espionage plot by the military itself. One columnist who holds this view asks: Why did the raiders leave half the weapons behind? Why didn't they blow up or destroy anything? Another columnist suggested the raid was a cover for the young officer who is a "double agent sent on a dangerous mission to contact and kill Huk Commander Dante." Dante is the military head of the New People's Army. He is the most wanted outlaw in the country and has evaded capture for years. Still another theory was that extreme rightists in the military plotted the raid to heighten fear of communism and thereby blunt increasingly popular efforts for this country to establish diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

Marcos told newsmen Saturday that he believed the raid definitely had communism at its roots and that Gen. Yan had been misquoted in saying it was just a robbery. Maicus termed it as an isolated incident, however, an inside job led by one man and not too important, because the Communist guerrillas are declining in strength and losing support among the people. Asked about speculation that the raid was a military plot to trap Dante. Marcos said that would be wonderful if it were true, but that such was not the By PAUL W.

SHEFFIELD Associated Press Writer BOISE Idaho (AP) A 26-vear-old father of one has been ordered to report for active duty in the Army because, he says, superior officers couldn't agree on whether he could wear a wig to National Guard drills. The officer says the order resulted from his" failure to attend drills. John E. Baugh. of Boise, has been ordered to report Monday to Ft.

Lewis, to begin 16 months of active duty. Baugh a folk singer and guitar plaver, had been due for discharge" Feb. 16 after completing his 5V2 years of reserve duty. The Guard first instructed him to get his hair cut early last fall. Baugh said Friday.

Baugh said he asked a warrant officer if a wig would be acceptable and was told that it would provided it met military standards. Baueh said he passed tnree drill inspection wearing the wig, but was told at a fourth that his haircut was unacceptable. Baugh said the wig was trimmed and approved by his commanding officer, Maj. John Baker, but was subsequently ruled unacceptable by an officer who succeeded Baker. Baugh appealed to Idaho Adj.

Gen. George B. Bennett who set up a board of officers to rule on Baugh's hair length. The review board unanimously found the wig unacceptable, and Bennett told Baugh: "Get it cut and we'll get you back into your unit." Baugh said the wig couldn't be cut any further, "so I just put on the wig and reported to Gen. Bennett.

"I walked in the room and he said it looked a lot better." Bennett then reinstated Baugh in his unit. But when he reported to his commanding officer, they "apparently called Bennett and told him I was wearing a wig," Baugh said. Baugh says Bennett asked if he was wearing a wig and when Baugh said he was, Bennett answered, "You won't be hearing from me again." "Then I received the notice ordering me to active duty." Bennett said Baugh was ordered to active duty for failing to attend drills in August and September. more responsibility, greater grass roots participation." The new farm act. the report said, is an "imaginative, far-sighted application of the new federalism" starting with this year's new crop programs.

Thus, it appears, the administration is counting heavily on the new farm law as a demonstration ground for "new federalism" in hopes that a cooperative spirit will be kindled and fed and that rural development will fall into place naturally with as little federal dominance as possible. Like the report. Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin referred to the other programs in a recent news conference at which he focused mainly on the expansion since early 1969 of government food programs for needy people. But there are many other valuable programs in USDA, Hardin said, that do not attract national headlines.

One of these is "rural development," a nebulous term for dozens of federal-state programs aimed over the years at improving the lot of rural America. A stated objective of the Nixon administration is somehow to work in the nation's small cities and towns. However, no clearly defined rural development program has emerged. This has caused a certain amount of sensitivity among Agriculture Department specialists who work with development programs. Hardin told newsmen that the department is frequently asked when it will get moving on a new rural development program.

"The answer is," Hardin said, "we have one." He then pointed to a number of existing and in many cases long-standing programs a d-ministered through such agencies as Farmers Home Administration, Rural Electrification Administration and an assortment of other cooperatively operated federal projects. "But part of rural development is the mobilization of people." Hardin said. "The President is very anxious that as we move with the new policy of national growth that we be in a position to respond to local initiative." Whatever is done in rural development. Hardin said, must be undertaken in conformance with plans by states. By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Act of 1970 "was the climax of the two Nixon administration years" in farm affairs, the Agriculture Department says in a year-end summary.

It also cites a far-ranging list of other programs it considers beneficiaries of GOP leadership. Administration farm officials and the report both express confidence that the new farm law's emphasis on more flexibility and freedom of choice for farmers will serve as a major vehicle for accomplishing some of the long-range goals and reforms they feel are needed in rural America. As the report puts it: "American agriculture is moving into a healthier era, toward freer, market-oriented production, new directions for humanitarian and environmental endeavors already producing benefits for farmers and the entire economy." Part of the reason, the report said, is the Nixon administration's emphasis on "new federalism" or what was described as the decentralization of government and more reliance on "encouraging states to take on VlNCLUDED Gravy boat complete with lid, ladle OA and cord.
