Sevareid To Retire LOS ANGLELES (AP) Eric Sevareid, CBS News' granite-faced pundit-in-resldence, will goon hang up his thinking cap and reach for his fishing rod. Never one who would be mistaken for a standup comedian, Sevareid nevertheless revealed a wryly humorous side Tuesday in a farewell talk before a meeting of owners and officials of CBS-TV affiliates. Looking about the huge circus tent CBS had erected for a luncheon, he said, "As we walked in here my good friend (CBS News executive) Bill Small said, 'I always knew you'd end up a Sevareid will deliver the last of his pithy commentaries on the CBS Evening News on Nov. 30 when he reaches mandatory retirement age of 65. Sevareid was born in Velva, N.D., on Nov.

28, 1912. "Someone asked me what I'd do after 45 years of daily deadlines," he said. "I have two contrasting temptations. One is to sit in a rocking chair for two weeks, after which I will slowly begin rocking. "The other is to go fishing.

Charlie Brown may say that happiness is a warm puppy, but I can tell you that happiness is a cold trout." Sevareid said that when he joined CBS News in London in 1939 Edward R. Murrow asked him how old he was. "I said I was 26, but Murrow said that sounded too young and would put me down as 29. He said he would fix it on the records. It's a good thing he never did or I would have been retired three years ago." He said he has spent the past few years trying to puncture some of the myths about television and broad- cast journalism, which he said had stirred up the wrath of television's critics.

"They say television is turning our minds to mush," he said. "If this is true, I don't know how you explain the increase in people fishing and hunting and playing tennis. If television is destroying the written word, how do you explain the increase in book reading since the advent of television? Some people never heard good English until radio came along." Sevareid, who termed Americans "as ornery and independent as ever," said, "There is the myth that this is a violent world and television may have had a hand in it. Actually, we are in one of the most peaceful periods in human history and the thought does occur that the mass media might have something to do with that. "I'm not going to say that it is a moral substitute for war.

but every country has become sensitive about its reputation. When Idi Amin or someone does something wrong they always make sure the cameras aren't around." Sevareid said he regretted that TV newsmen become personalities and even stars. "People think we have great power and I don't think we have," he said. "Newsmen are not leaders of the body politic and they are not statesmen. We should try to restore a sense of perspective to our view of newsmen.

"As Ed Murrow once said, a man can now be heard from one end of the country to the other instead of just to the end of the bar, but that doesn't make what he has to say any more profound."

May 25, 1977 THE TIMES Son Motto--3 Concorde Ban Now To June 1 NEW YORK (AP) A ban on the of John F. Kennedy International Airport by the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic Jet has been extended until June 1 by the U.S. Court of At 2 p.m. next Wednesday, the appeals court will hold a formal hearing on whether the jet should be allowed to land. The three-judge panel said Tuesday, however, that if the case is not argued next Wednesday, the ban will be lifted.

Lawyers for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, operators of the airport, and attorneys for Air France and British Airways said they would be ready and would submit briefs prior to next week's hearing. The appeal involves a U.S. District Court ruling on May 11 that the Port Authority could not bar Concorde flights. But District Judge Milton Pollack later issued a temporary stay of the order, which would have expired at 4 p.m. Tuesday without the appeals court's ruling.

Made optimistic by the earlier ruling, British Airways and Air France said they hoped to begin passen- ger flights at Kennedy June The needle-nosed airplane, capable of traveling at twice the speed of sound, has just completed one year of service between Dulles A i outside a i D.C.. and Paris. At the core of the dispute is Judge Pollack's earlier ruling that the Port Authority overstepped its authority by prohibiting Concorde landings at Kennedy after the federal government had okayed 16-month trial flights here and at Dulles. Police Find 3rd Victim of Killer SANTA BARBARA (AP) Detectives searched nearly six months, but it was two hikers out for a Sunday stroll who found the last of the three "look- alike" murder victims. The badly decomposed body of Mary Ann Sarris, of Santa Rosa, found in Canyon near Los Alamos, had been shot once the head like the other two victims.

Jacqueline and Patricia Laney, 21, were found last iJanuary in rugged Refugio above Santa All three women were as frequent hitchhikers around the University California's Santa campus, and sheriff's detectives believe they met their killer while hitchhiking. The women all wore their hair long and straight 'and had about similar and taste in clothes. Hence the "look-alike" label. Investigators have speculated that the killer may acted out of resent- r.ment for the women's inde- pendent demeanor. "The killer probably in the rural part of oar county," sheriff's Sgt.

Kirkman said. Many 'rural residents own guns and "it's not by chance that you find the bodies in these canyon areas. There are people who have lived here for 20 years that don't even know those roads exist." The sheriff's department received a speculative profile "from back East that said the killer was a single white male, probably a loner and probably with sexual problems," Kirkman said. Its rationale was that "that's the only kind of person the girls would have accepted a ride from," he said. The deaths prompted a campaign to i i a hitchhiking around the UC Santa Barbara campus, provide night buses to the university community of Isla Vista and establish an escort service for girls who needed to go out at night.

Miss Sarris lived and worked in Isla Vista but was not a student. Her badly decomposed body, found Sunday, was identified Tuesday by the Santa Barbara County coroner's office using dental records. Miss Rook, a coed at UC Santa Barbara, and Miss Laney, a former student, were shot with the same gun that killed Miss Sarris, Kirkman said, although it still wasn't known if the weapon was a pistol or a rifle. Kirkman said Miss Sarris probably died the day she a i her apartment last Dec. 6.

Despite the fact investigators have asked more than 1.200 people about the case since December, there are no leads and no witnesses, he added Wed. May 25 thru Sat. May 28 Warning on Unlisted Phone Number SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Pacific Telephone says failure to allow some government access to unlisted telephone numbers "could contribute to loss of life or property, endanger the community or give refuge to criminal activity." The utility told the Calif i a i Utilities Commission Tuesday it should be allowed to continue releasing limited information about customers with unlisted numbers to specified agencies. In a 48-page brief, the company said the policy is followed only in certain circumstances to help public agencies having a legiti- mate need for information. Precautions are taken to protect the confidential nature of information, the utility said, and only 14 types of governmental and public safety agencies are given information.

Pacific said the data is given only to designated individuals in those agencies on a call-back basis and telephone requests must be followed up with written confirmation. The brief was in response to three complaints filed in 1976 with the PUC by CAUSE (Campaign Against Utility Service Exploitation) and two individuals. Thirteen days of public hearings were held. The a i in effect, allege subscriber were falsely led to believe their phone numbers and other information would remain private and not be given out without bonafide warrants. The complaints say a 15 cent monthly charge for unlisted numbers is unreasonable a a because customers think this data is private and secure while in reality it is subject to release.

a i i argued the a is reasonable because of the added paperwork and additional calls to directory assistance it causes.
