WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1975 Levi Eyes Rules for FBI Groups Surveillance Work THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. By JAMES A. KIDNEY MONTREAL (UPI) Attorney General Edward Levi said today he is considering guidelines which would bar FBI surveillance of domestic groups unless they threatened violence. "The proposed guidelines would limit domestic intelligence activities to the pursuit of information about activities that may involve the use of force violence in violation of federal law in specified ways," Levi said. Electronic surveillance of domestic persons and organizations still could be employed with a court order, Levi added, but only for "full scale" investigations which the FBI would report directly to the attorney general.

He said buggings and wiretaps could not be used for "limited investigations," but did not define the difference between a limited and a fullscale investigation. "The proposed guidelines accept the proposition that in limited circumstances carefully controlled FBI activity which directly intercedes to prevent violence is appropriate," Levi said in remarks prepared for a speech to the annual meeting of the American Bar Association. Under the proposed guidelines designed by a committee of six lawyers, the attorney general "would have to determine that there is probable cause to believe that violence is imminent and cannot be prevented by arrest before he could authorize preventive action," Levi said. In such circumstances, the prevention "would have to be nonviolent," Levi said. He said this could involve use of informants and open and obvious surveillance to dissuade wrongdoing and restrict access to the planned crime area.

The attorney general would report regularly to Congress on any "preventive action" plans he authorized. "Despite arguments that domestic intelligence operations are essential to Several Taken To Hospital After Accidents Several persons were injured Tuesday in area accidents, following which they were taken to Connellsville State General Hospital for treatment.

Levi also indicated he would oppose requiring a court order for wiretaps in the name of national security against foreign agents. "This is hardly the procedure one would design for the continuing detection of the activities of foreign powers or their agents," he said. Dry Spell May Hike Milk Price PITTSBURGH (UPI) A dairy industry 'spokesman said Tuesday the growth of farmer cooperatives and'dry weather conditions are creating a severe milk shortage which may force prices up. C.J. Milroth, executive director of the Greater Pittsburgh Dairy Industry Association, said milk usually is in short supply during the summer but said this year the situation is much worse.

He said dairy farmers are feeding their cattle grains because of dry pastures, increasing the cost of operations. Milroth added the growth of farm coops has allowed a few to control the milk supply and easily divert milk elsewhere if they can get a better price. "When the demand goes up," he said, "it's also pretty definite that prices also will increase." i i He said there is no indication what the price of milk will be when the supply becomes critical, expected in September and October. Enforcement Of No-Fault law Starts Aug. 19 HARRISBURG (UPI) The governor's office Tuesday ordered all state agencies involved to vigorously enforce Pennsylvania's new ho-faultrlaw" effective Aug.

19. The, bill went into effect a month ago, but Gov. Milton J. Shapp ordered a 30-day grace period to give motorists time to comply with the new law. It requires motorists to be insured.

Insurance Commissioner William Sheppard said motorists should carry their "policyholder identification card or sheet" with them whenever they operate their person who has not received his ID card or sheet should immediately demand one from his or her insurance agent or company," Sheppard said. Drivers who do not have the required coverage face loss registration, loss of driver's license, possible criminal penalties and limited legal rights in the event of an accident. State Police Commissioner Col. James Barger has ordered troopers who stop cars to request the proof of insurance card along with driver's licenses and motor vehicle registration cards. A motorist who does nqt have his card with him has five days to produce evidence he has the required no-fault coverage.

If he does not have coverage, a report will be made to the Transportation Department, which will begin procedures to suspend registration. "I have informed all state police personnel of their responsibilities under the no-fault-law, and the procedures to be followed," Col. Barger said. "These procedures will be followed and the law will be enforced."

Utah Sentences Revenge Killers to Firing Squad PRICE, Utah (UPI) Three men convicted in the revenge-killing of a motorcycle gang member during a pill and alcohol spree have been sentenced to die by firing squad at dawn Oct. 2. But attorneys for the three said they plan to appeal to the Utah Supreme Court, making it unlikely the men will be shot in October.

Craig Marvel, 27, Gypsy Codianna, 22, and Irvin Dunsdon, 32, sat expressionless Tuesday as Judge Edward Sheya condemned them for the slaying of Michael Hogan. Utah, which last executed a man in 1960, has executed 44 persons since 1854 38'by shooting. Authorities believe the killing was in retaliation for testimony Hogan gave a year ago at the drug trial of a Salt Lake City gang leader. Hogan, target of an alleged $1,000 contract against his life, was dragged from his apartment before dawn April 9, shot three times, loaded into a pickup truck and driven to a canyon where he was beaten, strangled and shot at least 10 more times. "If this is not a case for the imposition of the death sentence, it's hard to imagine one that would warrant it," Sheya said.

"To the court's mind, this was a brutal and ruthless murder. From all the evidence, I do not find circumstances sufficient to mitigate the penalty." As provided by Utah law, the judge offered the killers a choice of death by hanging or firing squad. Codianna, of Waterbury declined to choose and Sheya ordered death by shooting. Dunsdon, of Bingham Canyon, Utah, and Marvel, of Laguna Beach, chose rifle fire. They joined four other man on Utah Priest Tells FBI Of Intimidation For Opposing Club -PITTSBURGH (UPI) A Roman Catholic priest said Tuesday he received an intimidating phone call from an alleged underworld figure because of his part in a fight against the "Fantastic Plastic" nightclub.

The Rev. John Unger, pastor of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, told FBI agents Anthony A. "Wango" Capizzi demanded he retract a leaflet against the club. Area residents have charged the club would attract unsavory clientele. Capizzi allegedly said the church should not get involved in a dispute over the location of the club in the city's Oakland district.

Father Unger said Capizzi wrote a complaining letter to The Most Rev. Vincent M. Leonard, bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese. The club opened last July 13 after several years of delays and legal battles. However, at the urging of Mayor Peter Flaherty, the state Liquor Control Board refused to grant a liquor license to "Fantastic Plastic." Customers must bring their own liquor.

The three had waived their right to be' sentenced by the jury that convicted them in a week-long trial.

THOMAS W.MOMYER Thomas W. Momyer, of 207 Arthur Scottdale, died at? a.m. today at his home. PAGE ELEVEN Rabbit's Continued From Page 1 made him a blanket. The blanket went into the pen and "Cedric" pulled another human-like stunt--a habit not infrequent among toddlers: dragging his blanket around with him.

He drags it all around the pen, and would drag it around' the floor if he could get it out of the pen. Drinking Habits Chances are "Cedric" will not become an alcoholic even though he shuns water. He is mighty choosey about the fluid intake--milk, brother, and milk only. "Nix on that soda pop, gimme the white stuff!" Knows Front Door Going for a ride in the family automobile is one of "Cedric's" delights. He crawls right up into your arms and looks at the scenery slipping by as the car moves along.

On one occasion after returning home from a ride, wearing his leash made from a trimmed down dog collar, turned up his nose at outside surroundings and virtually led the way to the front door to get into the house. His Future What future weeks and months will mean for "Cedric" are uncertain Runion noticed the bunny is showing signs of restlessness and expressed belief to his daughter that he may have to be turned loose. What happens then when he gets his first look at other rabbits--would he run from them as strange creatures? Or again, would this little fluffy bundle of beige colored "people" bunny commit suicide by trustingly walking right up to some greedy hunter who'd have no chance at missing him on the first shot? Miss Runion doesn't relish the thought of "Cedric" leaving home even though he does snag her dresses and blouses by clinging to her when being held. One of "Cedric's" dislikes is other children. Some youngsters like to tease him, and "Cedric" isn't used to that.

Their normally quick movements also seem to startle him, so "Cedric" will have, nothing to do with the younger set- instead he'll hop or scamper from them. Yes, life is lot's of fun for people "Cedric" right now, but if he will ever live long enough to learn he ain't people but is rabbit is something only the future weeks and months will disclose.
