PAGE 14. 0 Phil Latulippe hasn't given up long-distance pacing since leaving the Ottawa Valley he's now after a record out West. Petawawa Phil walking all over Saskatchewan REGINA (CP) Walking isn't the fastest way to cover the 535 kilometres from Lloydminster to Regina, but Russ Phillips and "Petawawa Pacer" Phil Latulippe are likely to cover the distance faster than most other people could. Phillips, 51, of Regina and Latulippe, 61, of Lorettville, have never met before, but have both made their mark as walkers. Latulippe set a world walking record in 1971 and another in 1972 when he was stationed at CFB Petwawa.

Phillips came close to a world record for a backwards walk several months ago and last year completed a 370-kilometre walk from Prince Albert to Moose jaw. Ed Jago of Somerset, England holds the current world walking record, 510 kilometres. Rules for long-distance walking permit a five-minute break each hour, with provision for the breaks to be saved up for a maximum rest of two hours. Phillips and Latulippe are aiming to break Jago's record with their project, dubbed Operation Northern Messenger 2. Northern Messenger I was Phillips' 370-kilometre ramble last year.

They plan to leave Lloydminster Aug. 25 and arrive at the legislative grounds in Regina Sept. 1 to take part in-Saskatchewan's 75th anniversary celebration. They are so confident of making it they have been listed on the official program. The two are to be accompanied by a scroll with messages from points on the route, by units of the Saskatchewan militia district and by any walkers who care to join in.

Those without the time or energy for a longish stroll have been invited to pledge money for designated charities. Hef's in trouble over $2 million in job 'benefits' WASHINGTON (UPI) The Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday charged Playboy Enterprises, Inc. with illegally failing to report more than $2 million in room, board and other benefits given to founder Hugh Hefner and several other officers. At the same time, the SEC announced it has accepted an offer of settlement from Playboy Enterprises, which was founded in 1953 by Hefner for the sole purpose of publishing Playboy Magazine. Under the terms of the agreement, the Chicago-based company has promised to undergo an internal shakeup and to start keeping an accurate account of the benefits Hefner and other Playboy officers receive.

Furthermore, as a result of an investigation by Playboy's Audit Committee, Hefner, his daughter and three other executives have already paid Playboy Enterprises a total of $828,421 plus 39,475 English pounds to compensate for eight years of unauthorized benefits they received. Hefner paid his company $796,413. Under law, Playboy was required to begin reporting the benefits in 1971 when it became a publicly owned company, so that stockholders and the Investing public would have a true financial picture of its operations. Exceptionally low rent In a 28-page filing, the SEC charged Playboy with failing to properly report all or part of more than $2 million in authorized and unauthorized benefits that flowed to Hefner and the other executives between 1971 and 1979. The benefits in question included exceptionally low rental rates to Hefner for the use of Playboy's 54-room mansion in Chicago and its 30-room, 5.2-acre estate in Los Angeles.

The SEC noted that, until 1975, Hefner was paying only $7,800 a year to rent the two mansions, which were costing Playoby nearly $3 million a year to maintain. Four years ago, Hefner started paying $35,000 a year In rent. According to the SEC, other benefits given to Hefner Included all of his meals, a staff of butlers, overnight accomodations for 6.020 guests, family members and girl friends, limousine service, expensive videotape equipment, lodging at Playboy's hotels and use of the company's "Big Bunny" DC-9 before it was sold four years ago for $4 million. Benefits given to Hefner's daughter and three other officers included use of an English countryside estate, a three-bedroom apartment In London, legal services, travel expenses, loans, life insurance and automobile rentals. A little black book some teenagers found lying on the floor of a small general store on the Hood Canal near Seattle, Wash had some pretty big phone numbers in it.

The listings included super-secret numbers for the National Security Agency (NSA), George Bush's home phone, movie star Paul Newman, Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye and NBC news state department correspondent Bernard Kalb. The black vinyl book belongs to retired navy vice- admiral Noel Arthur Meredyth Gayler, former commander of the top-secret NSA. Gayler apparently dropped the book while visiting the Hood Canal summer home of friends. The teenagers who found it while cleaning up the store turned the book over to Jerry Zaspel, who runs the place.

Th' all thought the book was a joke unH ihty called Paul Newman's number and were told he was out. Eventually the book was given to a Seattle friend of Gayler, presumably to be returned to the admiral. Gayler could not be reached at his home in Fort Meade, Md. -dt-d A nephew of the late highwire artist Karl Wallenda has decided to challenge dare- Scars OTTAWA JOURNAL THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1980 Paul's number in fop-secret book PEOPLE devil Evel Knievel to a motorcycle race on a cable across the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington.
