A team was scheduled to begin an inspection late in the day. 5 Flee E. Germany MUNICH (UPI) Three Poles and two East Germans fled to West Germany Sunday at several places across the mined demarcation lines, Bavarian border police said Monday. All five described themselves as political refugees.

Fire on Navy's Disaster of 1967 NORFOLK, Va. (UPI) -Fire damaged the officers' quarters aboard the attack carrier Forrestal Monday but no injuries were reported. A 1967 fire killed 132 persons and injured 62 others. i in iMiiirnwt rK fe2T -J MIAMI BEACH George McGovern still stubbornly believes that Sen. Ted Kennedy will accept second place on his ticket.

McGovern has told his top aides that he doesn't think Kennedy would turn down a strong personal appeal to serve. Christ Came to Defeat Inner Evil of All Men 11 Campaign treasurer Henry Kimelman, who encouraged McGovern to make the race when others said he didn't have a chance, is also convinced McGovern can talk Kennedy into taking the vice presi A Navy spokesman said the fire was reported at 3 a.m. in the "flag officer's area" one deck below the flight deck in the center of the ship. Firemen quickly contained the blaze but it burned until 11 a.m. A spokesman said the section of the ship hit by the blaze contains quarters for the captain and fleet admiral.

The cause of the blaze was un- I am troubled about one of the answers in your column. You answered a daughter who asked if her "good" father needed to be saved. You suggested that no matter how good he seemed, that underneath the surface lurked the seeds of sin. The father might be another "Abou ben Adhem." G.G. dential nomination.

Ki melman came to Miami Beach last Thursday so liciting odds on a Mc- cally, and are usually blamed upon insanity. But the Bible says: "We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. Some people's sins are more obvious than others, and some like the father mentioned, appear to be almost without guile. Come up und see us sometime Thank you for your question which gives me the opportunity to expand the answer formerly given. Yes, the father mentioned could be another "Abou ben Adhem." I will concede that many good people in the world are not Christians, and that many professed Christians are not good.

But the Bible teaches, despite surface impressions, that underneath, down deep in each of our hearts is an undercurrent of evil which made it necessary for Christ to come and deal with this problem of inherent sin in each of us. A mother wrote me: "My son, one of the most loveable, obedient, ideal sons a mother ever had, raped a girl and nearly beat her to death."

OPEN 9-5 EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK Intimates say the erstwhile piedpiper of Chicago resents losing his following to George McGovern. Back in 1968, McCarthy used to tell his associates he was four years too early. The new political tide would crest, he predicted, in 1972. But now McGovern is riding the tide and McCarthy has been stranded on the shoals.

Shortly before the crucial California primary, McCarthy showed up at Hubert Humphrey's apartment. The quixotic McCarthy was fairly bristling with hostility toward McGovero. McCarthy called McGovern a "newcomer" to the antiwar movement, ex-. pressed distrust of McGovern's foreign policy and promised to back Humphrey in California. The only thing predictable about McCarthy is his unpredictability.

But even Humphrey was startled to read a few days later that McCarthy had endorsed McGovern in California. But on the eve of the convention, McCarthy was back in touch with Humphrey's aides. Again, McCarthy declared he didn't want McGovern to become president and faithfully promised to speak out for Humphrey on the convention floor. The labor chieftains, who have bitterly fought Alabama's Gov. George Wallace for the loyalty of the blue-collar voters, show signs of softening their attitude.

Alarmed over Wallace's popularity in blue-collar neighborhoods, the unions campaigned against him in 1968 and again in the 1972 primaries. The Alabama Labor Council took the lead in proclaiming Wallace's antilabor record in Alabama. The council pointed out that Alabama was one of only eight states with no state minimum wage law, that Alabama allows a low maximum payment of only $55 a week in workmen's compensation and unemployment benefits. But the council, apparently, has now received new signals. Aides of Sen.

Ed Muskie were among the first to detect the change. They reported to Muskie in a private memo: "The Alabama Labor Council, which strongly criticized Wallace's labor record in the past, believes that, in 1972, Wallace 'went right down the line for "This comes from Barney Weeks, who is head of the state Labor Council. He feels that Wallace was very important in achieving gains in workmen's comp, unemployment comp and occupational health and safety. "The Labor Council opposed Wallace on minimum wage and on the property tax classification package in 1971, but in general Weeks says: "You cannot fault him this year."

HO Govern-Kennedy ticket. But Meyer Feldman, who heads the McGovern for President campaign organization, is more skeptical. As one of the late President Kennedy's most trusted advisers and an intimate in good standing of the last surviving brother, Feldman has already made a pitch to Kennedy to take the second spot on a McGovern ticket. Kennedy agreed to campaign for McGovern and made specific suggestions how he could best help to elect McGovern. But the senator from Massachusetts firmly rejected any possibility of accepting the vice presidential nomination.

The Kennedys have a strong sense of family loyalty and Ted Kennedy is now head of the clan. He feels keenly his responsibility to be a strong father figure to his own three children and his late brother Robert's 11 children. senator noted that it was a difficult time for young people to sort out their values. The children, he said, had first call on his time. Footnote: Kennedy took off for Massachusetts where he will spend convention week.

Aides confide, however, that he's keeping open the option of making a "surprise" appearance at the convention. Some top aides came to Miami Beach where they have cautiously sounded out delegates about drafting Kennedy as the standard bearer if a stalemate should develop between McGovern and the Stop McGovern forces. This undercover effort has been so loosely organized, however, that it obviously doesn't have Kennedy's personal direction. Eugene McCarthy, the hero of the young and the unwashed at the 1968 Democratic, donnybrook, has switched sides at the 1972 convention. He has promised to support his 1968 adversary, Hubert Humphrey, of all people.

Pulse of the Public Medical Malpractice and Law able of being negligent at some time in his life, including doctors and lawyers; but it is unfair for you to put the blame on something which does not actually exist and to distort the factual situation, and further, to omit the real culprit, being the insurance companies which wax fat on huge premiums by which they gouge not only professional persons but people in every walk of life by make-believe stories of terrible things they state exist and for which they claim there is a need for insurance coverage at ever increasing premiums. Using common sense and learning the truth would help eliminate the gruesome scene you have painted for your readers. WALTER W. CALHOUN High Court ATLANTA The Supreme Court's ruling, in my opinion, is the height of stupidity. It would do nothing but increase crime.

SIMS ATLANTA Having just read the last two articles regarding medical malpractice, I feel it is not only my prerogative but also my duty to ask you to print this letter so that the public can read the truth and an accurate summation, rather than the grotesque picture your paper is painting of both physicians and attorneys in these two articles which are erroneous as a matter of fact and greatly distort the law applicable to malpractice cases and which further serve to incite a great deal more litigation for which there is no basis. Over-all, these articles present a gross injustice to your reading public and in particular a completely unwarranted attack upon the medical and legal professions. If your newspaper had taken the time to examine the actual cases which have been reported in the casebooks of the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, you would have found that the last three volumes of both these courts do not contain a single malpractice suit reported therein. A few minutes of your time in reading the case of Shea v. Phillips, 213 Georgia Supreme Court Reports, page 269, would clearly explain even to the layman that the law is not at all as interpreted by your newspaper, for this is the leading case on medical malpractice suits and clearly sets out the stringent requirements for proving a malpractice suit.

If you would enlighten your readers as to what is necessary to prove a case, and not incite them into filing useless law suits, you would serve the public in a much better way. This is not to say that any mortal is incap When you come into money come into John Raymond That's Life For some reason or other, practically everybody in the United States headed for Miami Beach last weekend.
