Ireland, 88, 714 State a former resident of Burnettsville, died at 2:45 a.m. Wednesday at the Chase plomats said there is nothing for Moscow to do in the current state of the Vietnam War'and negotiations in Paris. They let it be clearly, understood the Kremlin now has no intention of taking any diplomatic initiative or pushing any mediation effort in Hanoi to facilitate peace. Motivated by Belief The Soviet attitude was motivated by its belief the United Slates has done nothing worthwhile to date, from the Communist viewpoint, to justify Soviet intervention, let alone Soviet pressure on the regime of President Ho Chi Minh.

President 'Nixon's de-escalation program and latest moves toward partial withdrawal of American forces were brushed aside as "insignificant or outright meaningless." The withdrawal offered by Washington, diplomatic informants argued the United States at the same time was arming South Vietnam and reinforcing it with the clear intention to make it strong enough to do the' job the Americans have been doing. They countered Western charges that Moscow is continuing to pour large quantities of arms into North Vietnam with the argument the United States is supplying weapons to the South Vietnamese. The Soviets evidently are aware of American criticism of Moscow's Vietnam policy and of the absence of Russian goodwill to help in the stalemated peace effort. Ambrose H. (Tom) Dulle, of 719 Lynnwood has submitted his resignation as executive director of the Cass County Council for Mentally Retarded The other is the fact that the United Fund reduced its upport for the local program from 811,103 in 1968 to $5,000 for 1969.

The Communist diplomats left little doubt that at least for the present the Kremlin has chosen a wait-and-see strategy in the Vietnam peace efforts. The move is believed part of the current Soviet policy of refraining from major commitments on key East-West international issues.

and Polanski Called His Wife Hours Before She Died In Ma ss Murder LOS ANGELES (UPI)-Roman Polanski telephoned his wife Sharon Tate from London Aug. 8 and she had no premonition that a few hours later she would die with her four guests in a macabre mass Polanski, the brilliant Polish film director who made "Rosemary's Baby," said Miss Tate talked of trivialities when he called her "a few hours before 'the tragedy occurred." "She (Polanski was said, yes, wanted to know if I wanted' a birthday party 16 Monday). I let's hold one. She said'a" little kitten had come in from the hills and she was trying to feed it with an eye dropper," Polanski said. "There was no indication of a party that' evening.

There wasn't any party that evening." Recounts Last Talk Polanski recounted his last talk with his -wife at a news conference Tuesday called because of the and horrible things" said about her. Blinking back tears and sometimes breaking into sobs, Polanski related what he believed were the circumstances of the deaths at the secluded Benedict Canyon est- tate leased by him and his wife. Miss Tate did not use drugs, he said, although two of the victims, Voityck Frokowsky and Jay Sebring, were known to smoke didn't use drugs, "Sharon she didn't touch alcohol, she didn't even smoke cigarettes," Polanski said. Frokowsky once brought- a man to a party at the home who became so objectionalbe he had to be thrown out. Polanski gave the name to the police but not to newsmen.

Was a Constant Party "There was a lot of talk about parties in our home," he said. "They are true. There was a constant party. There wasn't an evening without friends." He said marijuana was smoked at the home by guests but he didn't think it was out of the ordinary among their circle of Hollywood friends. He said of his wife: "All of you know Wednesday.

The resignation, effective Nov. 1, was necessitated by the United Fund- support in' 1968, 'requested.

The spokesman said the Grand Jury To Convene September 3 The Cass County grand jury has been called into session at Allies had cautiously noted North Vietnamese chief negotiator Xuan Thuy's use of the words "independent state" in referring to the future status of South Vietnam. Thuy used the words in Thursday's weekly session of the talks. Might Accept Partition Many observers at the talks and some members of the American delegation have taken the reference as meaning North -Vietnam might accept partition of Vietnam. Asked if this terminology was hopeful to the Allied side at Paris, a South Vietnamese spokesman would not say hopeful because are capable of contradicting themselves.

"But we took note of this this the discuss reunification." The South Vietnamese quick to point out this idea was one. they had been promoting more than a year. Manor Nursing home. Born Feb. 23, 1881 9-30 am Wednesday, Sept.

She couldn't refuse any friendship." Discover Optimism North Vietnam and South Vietnam were separated under terms of the settlement of the Indochina War which ended in 1954. The Paris talks have bogged down to a stalemate that has, in the view of conference observers, caused some of the conference participants to leave Paris for the time being. They are expected to return perhaps with new ideas on 1 how to try to break the deadlock. The chief American negotiator, Henry Cabot Lodge, has returned to the United States for conferences with U.S. officials in Washington.

The Vjet Cong leader, Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, has gone on a vacation, visiting Vietnamese settlements in southern France. Defense Says Beret Trial Will Be Short LONG BINH, Vietnam (UPI) attorneys in the Green Beret murder case predicted today the official investigation would end within 24 hours with a proposal to clear all eight defendants. "The testimony was as weak and vague as I suspected," said attorney Henry E. Rothblatt, 53, of New York City; "They have no case. The invehigatory hearing behind closed doors at the Long Binh stockade 17 miles north of Saigon involved questioning ss agent for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on his organization's role in the case.

Rothblatt, an unofficial spokesman for the eight Green Berets, predicted a brief session Thursday morning would end with the government proposing the case be dropped. He said the formal paperwork for any such dismissal might take up to three days. George Gregory of Cheraw, S.C., another civilian lawyer, S2T66d "We are happy with the way the case Js he said. "The investigators have no evidence of anything." Sources close to the case said the only witness who will be called Thursday will be another CIA agent; His testimony will take no more than two hours, the sources said. The eight Green Berets including the commander of all Special Forces troops in Vietnam, Col.

Robert Rheault of Vineyard Haven, were suspected of planning and out the murder of a Vietnamese on June 20. Gregory had previously said the victim was a Communist double agent working for the CIA whose death may have saved thousands, of American lives. $42,000. Dulle came here June 1, 196S, from Indianapolis, where he had been speech and hearing con- sultantin the Indiana School for ripnf jie Two factors are primarily responsible for the financial plight of the Mentally Retarded Children's organization, Dulle said. One is the fact that the Department of Mental Health was forced to cut its assistance by $9,000 this vear due to the fact that the General Assembly only increased the funds for such purposes by 14 percent while there has been a 57 percent increase in community programs for the retarded throughout Indiana.

Phony Czec Planned By NEW YORK Hard- line Moscow. Communists are planning a phony revolt in Czechoslovakia tonight and Thursday to set the stage 'for a "final crackdown on liberalism," the New York Daily News said today. In a copyrighted Washington dispatch, News correspondent Jerry Greene said reliable European diplomatic sources told U.S. officials about the hard-liners' scheme. The News said the plot is aimed at Gustav Husak, the pro-Moscow leader who became Communist boss in Czechoslovakia after "the Soviet-led invasion a year ago ended Alexander Dubcek's efforts to liberalize the Red regime.

"The hard-line plotters expect to install Alois Indra, longtime close friend of as first secretary of the Czech Communist party and new strong man of the solidly pro-Moscow government," Greene wrote. The dispatch said Communist agents would start the "revolt" tonight by putting -up posters denouncing the Communist party and the Russians. Police were to tear the posters Board Lets Contracts for Bridge Work Contracts totaling $30,658.81 for extensive repairs to the Adamsboro bridge over Eel river were let by the county commissioners in a special session Wednesday. The contract for the work was let to Howard Heavilon of Mulberry on his low bid of $18,400. The contract for the materials was let to the only bidder, Logansport Metal Culvert Company, for $12,258.81.

Other bids on the work were: of Monticello, $22,000, and Jack Isom Construction of Monticello, $18,900. The work on. the iron bridge will include new stringers, new beams, new abutments and new floor, sandblasting and painting. The contractor must begin work within 30 days. He then will be allowed 60 days in which to finish the job.

It is expected that the only time the bridge will be closed will be 1 while the floor is being laid. $13,000. The county commissioners increased the county tax aid to the retarded by $2,250 for the coming year, Dulle acknowledged, but this was insufficient to make up "the drop in state and United Fund aid. Dufle said the Council for the Mentally Retarded is now serving 57 students on less money than it formerly had to serve 32. Its income for the coming year from all sources includes $15 250 from the county, $15,444 from the Indiana Department of Mental Health, $6,500 from the' United Fund, $2,500 from the Habilitation Center workshop above the amount paid to the trainees for their work; tuition, and $2.000 in donations.

Dulle said the reason the United Fund support is shown as instead of $7,000 is that the Council is on a different fiscal year from the United Fund year. That also is the reason county support is shown as $15,250. The $2,250 increase brought the 1970 county support of''the retarded program in construction and operation funds combined to $17,500 but part of that money will not be received until after the Council's next fiscal year. Officers of the Cass County Council for Mentally Retarded Children recently made a futile effort to obtain an increase in county tax support for their program. Dulle pointed out that a 1965 state law permits a 10-cent property tax levy for support of treatment centers for the mentally retarded and mentally ill.

The county has less than four cents allotted for those two purposes in the 1970 budget. Thursday morning, picking fights with hostile Czech crowds whenever possible. The News said the plotters have organized a hoodlum mob to attack the Soviet airline office in Prague. According to Greene, the police "will put up token resistance before falling back to permit mob destruction." "On Thursday afternoon, an organized mob is to demonstrate in front of the Soviet Embassy and to provoke ss much fist and rock fighting as can be instigated," the News said. "Then the army will be called in to restore peace and begin making arrests.

"If the 'rebellion' can generate enough the conservative wing of the Communist party thinks it will the government will declare martial law and begin serious arrests of leaders. "The-new government is to be created and put into office on Friday, and the final crackdown on liberalism, js slated to begin." The News said Husak is.to be "kicked upstairs as chairman or president." The story said the key figure in the plot is Communist Affairs Secretary Vasil Bilak, who "returned to Prague yesterday (Monday) from a conference at the Kremlin." Arrest Driver After Crash David A. Nelson, 20, of'Le- moiit, 111., was charged with reckless driving after his auto struck a truck parked along U.S. 35, just south of Road 725 North, at 3:40 a.m. State Trooper Robert Sabatini said Nelson, headed south on the highway, struck the rear of the truck owned by the American Oil Company.

The truck was parked in front of the Frank White residence. The impact pushed it forward approximately-six feet, An estimated $2,000 damage was done to Nelson's 1969 auto, and about $50 damage to the truck. Deputy Sheriff Jerry Arnold and Royal Center Town Marshal Robert Herrick assisted in the investigation..
