Mrs. Contey bad been arrested Wednesday by Miami County authorities and placed in the second floor of the jail, the same building where her husband is lodged. Appointed by the court to defend Mrs. Conley are William Diion and Tom Rogers, both Troy attorneys.

The trial in Common Pleas Court here was to go into its fourth day when the unexpected charge was filed against Mrs. Conley.

They adopted a resolution calling for housewives to refrain from buying meat for two weeks of every month. Mayor James T.

Henry urged that a consumer rebellion extend to other high priced food items. "The American people are being legally robbed blind and denied tie chance for human decency by the inflationary and outrageous costs of basic foods and the protein of meat," Henry told the commission. "We are victimized by the legal bandits between the producers and the consumers- profiteers organized in gangs in control of distribution of basic food." Commissioners hope the boycott will spread nationwide. Henry asked that the slowdown of meat purchases continue "until the message is clear from coast to coast." so from MArtOMAJ. SWC JO OS.

Otft. Fat Albert' Enters The Air War Against North Vietnam SAIGON (AP) The U.S. Navy announced today the introduction of a new, one-ton video bomb called "Fat Albert" into the air war against North Vietnam and termed it highly effective. The weapon is an improved version of the "Walleye" television bomb and has been in use for the past month, the Navy said. Capt.

Marland W. Towsend, commanding officer of the carrier Kitty Hawk, said the first six Fat Alberts released scored directhits against their targets and reduced the risk that American pilots would be hit by ground fire. Townsend said four bridges were downed and two military supply buildings were destroyed by the bombs. "You can't beat 100 per cent," he said. The Fat Albert, named by fliers aboard the Kitty Hawk, is twice as powerful as the Walleye and has a television camera in the nose to direct the bomb to the target.

The U.S. Command announced, meanwhile, that VS. pilots carried out 270 tactical air strikes against targets inside North Vietnam Thursday. Radio Hanoi claimed that 14 U.S. warplanes bombed a section of dikes in North Vietnam's Hai Hung Province on Tuesday and that a large number of Western newsmen saw it.

The broadcast said the newsmen had been taken to the area near Hiep Ca and Nan Hung villages to see damage allegedly done to dikes there by U.S. bombs two days earlier. In the ground war, more heavy fighting was reported today on South Vietnam's northern front, where 20,000 Saigon troops are on a drive to retake yuang Tri Province, which fell to the North Vietnamese May 1. The Saigon command said its troops had not entered the Quang Tri City limits, but reported a series of battles ranging from two to miles northeast of the provincial capital. Spokesmen said 114 North Vietr natnese troops were killed, almost half of them by air and artillery strikes, and 41 weapons captured.

Three South Vietnamese marines were reported killed and 14 wounded. A high-ranking South Vietnamese officer was killed and eight other men wounded when a South Vietnamese helicopter crashed southeast of Quane Tri City. The Saigon command reported artillery and rocket attacks against the old imperial capital of Hue Thursday night and this morning, and said eight nersons were killed and 21 wounded. Fischer Asks Replay Of Forfeiture REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)- Chess officials today considered a demand from Bobby Fischer for a replay of the second game in the world chess championship match which he refused to play Thursday because movie cameras were present. The referee ruled that Fischer, by failing to appear because movie cameras would film the play, forfeited the game to Soviet Utleholder Boris Spassky.

The challenger's protest also demanded the removal of the cameras, which he claimed affected his concentration. The protest was being considered by Gudmundur Arnlaugsson of the Icelandic Chess Federation, the assistant referee for the match; Fred Cramer of the U. S. Chess Federation; and Nicklai Krogius, one of Spassky's aides. A decision was promised this afternoon.

(AP Wirephoto Map) Frasier, The Prolific Lion, Dies In His Sleep Thursday LACUNA HILLS, CaM. (AP) Frasier the lion made love not roar. Cast off when a Mexican circus went hankrupt, the scruffy, scrawny cat was rescued by Lion Country Safari, a wildlife preserve, and nursed back to health. He was clearly past his prime. Bleary-eyed and nearly toothless, he suffered from rheumatism and arthritis and had trouble walking.

His 20 lion years were the equivalent of more than 80 human years. But he became a national sex symbol by his success as a lover. He sired 35 McGovern (CoBctaded From Page senators, governors and mayors. He was the senator's second choice: Kennedy rejected an offer of the vice presidency shortly after McGovern swept to first-ballot nomination Wednesday night. When the convention's final gavel fell at 3:27 a.m., the Democrats had ended a historic convention.

With reform rules that produced massive increases in the numbers of women, black and young delegates, it ratified a transition in party power fromthebig-city chieftains and leaders of labor, dominant for 40 years, to the forces of what Kennedy termed "a new wind rising over the land." Starting an hour late, the convention's final session fell steadily further behind as the delegates ratified an overhaul of the party's national committee in one lengthy roll-call vote, then fell into another over the vice presidency after seven rivals formally were nominated to oppose Eagleton. Amid the unprecedented splintering rf ballots, it took until the next-to-last state, Texas, before the Missouri senator passed the 1,509 total that marked the needed majority. As votes were checked, the defeated candidates--most prominent among them being Texas state Rep. Frances T. "Sissy" Farenthold, Sen.

Mike Gravel of Alaska, and former Massachusetts Gov. Endkott Peabody --trooped to the rostrum and declared support for Eagleton. The roll call was never finished. Then, after delegates sang "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" while waving their fingers aloft in the V- shaped peace symbol, Convention Vice Chairman Yvonne Braithwaite Burke, a black Californian, brought Eagleton to the platform. After acknowledging toe cheers, be praised the delegates from Wallace's Alabama for "gracious courtesy" in supporting the presidential nominee's right to choose a running mate, and vowed to carry "a new message of hope to the American people" in the campaign ahead.

And in what seems likely to be his line of attack against the man he hopes to displace, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, Eagleton pleaded to "restore the dignity" of the vice presidency as an office "whose occupant must appeal to the highest, not the basest, motives of our fellow Americans." cubs in 18 months. Frasier was introduced to a pack--of 12 young females after the fussy lionesses spurned at least five young, virile candidates. One would-be lover was badly mauled. Putting Frasier in with the pride was supposed to be a joke.

But the next morning the lionesses were found purring placidly in the sun near an exhausted but hapov Frasier. He was adored by the lionesses. When he was hungry the females would fetch his food and place it at his feet and even chew it for him. When he took walks, a lioness took her place on each skfe of his elderly and infirm body to hold him up. As his exploits gained national reknown, Frasier watches, tee-shirts and caps were marketed and attendance at Lion Country jumped by 20 per cent.

He was named "father of the year" in a congressional resolution. Election officials said they found dozens of "Frasier for President" write-in votes in the June 6 California primary. Frasier's mates were in mourning today. The old lion died in his sleep of apparent kidney failure Thursday. He will be buried Saturday at the preserve.
