Nomination Is Called 1 SPECIAL POTTED HYBRID TEA ROSES FOR BLOOM VANITIES WIUS FLORIST CKBMOUSES QMMCMM.W.m. 253-8305 An organization of foreign service employes is callihg one of President Carter's ambassadorial nominations a "political payoff" because the nominee gave campaign contributions to numerous Democratic candidates, including Carter. Marvin Warner, the nominee to be American ambassador to Switzerland, appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Monday but never was asked about the contributions said to total tens of thousands of dollars. A witness, Dennis Kox of the American Foreign Service Association, called Warner unqualified and urged that his nomination be rejected.

Kox said Warner and other members of his family contributed $70,000 to various Democratic candidates in the past four years, including $1.000 to Carter, and that his nomination smacked of a ''political payoff." But Warner, a Cincinnati real estate developer, was warmly praised by Ohio's two Democratic senators, -Howard Metzenbaum and John Glenn. He made no statement to the committee and was asked no questions about his qualifications for the job. The chairman of the committee. Sen. John, Sparkman, also praised Warner, recalling that he has known him since he was a boy.

Warner filed a statement with the committee showing that besides contributing to Carter's campaign, he gave $1,000 contributions to the presidential campaigns of Sen. Birch Bayh, Sen. Henry Jackson, and $2,000 to Gov. George Wallace's campaign in 1973. Last year Warner also' contributed $500 to Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd's brief fling for the presidency.

$11.000 to the Democratic National Committee and $7,000 to Metzenbaum's campaign. in wreck Government A Fort Fair-field, Maine, man was killed and two Kanawha County residents were injured Monday night in a head on collision iust west of Hawk's Nest.

Raleigh Register. Bcckley, W. Tuatday Aftgnoon, June 7, 1977-3 Haig Refuses To Give His Reaction United Press International Trenton, N.J.

Former President Nixon's House chief of staff, Gen. Alexander M. Haig refused Monday night to give his reaction to Nixon's account of the events that brought about his downfall. Asked at a news conference about the Nixon David Frost interview, in which the deposed President said his righti as chief executive allowed him to break laws, Haig replied: "I have had a longstanding policy of not taking about my years in the White House." He refused to field any other questions on the subject. Ah aide said it was the first time in the United States that Haig had been asked about the Nixon-David Frost interviews.

Haig was questioned about the interviews in Europe immediately after they were broadcast but he had nothing to say. Haig, 52, the commander of all American and NATO forces in Europe, addressed a Mercer County Chamber of Commerce dinner here. He denied he had come to boost the campaign of his sister, Regina Haig Meridith, who is running for the General Assembly seat in the 14th District. Haig did not comment on the recall from Korea by President Carter of a top U.S. commander for saying withdrawal of American troops there could lead to war.

However he did say that Carter has assured him that there will be no reduction of American troops in Europe, but rather a possible increase. zir asked him to form the next government after almost three decades in political opposition. The one-time guerrilla leader waved to reporters as he, his wife Aliza and an aide entered the grounds of the president's mansion through a small gate hi the walls, i Begin, 63, has led Israel's political right wing through 29 years of Labor party rule. But his Likud bloc won the most votes in the May 17 election and he has been considered almost certain to be the next prime minister. Referring to the "very serious national issues" facing the country, Begin said they include "resistance to a socalled Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the Gaza Strip, rejection of withdrawal to the lines of June, 1967, and unconditional rejection of any participation by the so called Palestine Liberation Organization in inter state negotiations" on a Middle East peace settlement.

The form and direction of Begin's government depends on the outcome of today's negotiation session with the Democratic Movement for Change, led by archeoldgist Yigael Yadin. The new centrist group could give Begin a coalition of as many as 76 votes in the 120 member parliament. Without the DMC, Begin will have to make major concessions to extremist religious groups h. order to forge a bare majority of 61 or 62 votes. "This is the moment of truth," said a political source, adding that the fourth session of talks with the DMC Tuesday afternoon is expected to result in success or failure of broadbased coalition.

Despite some differences within its ranks, the DMC has indicated it favors giving up some occupied Arab land in exchange for peace. Likud leaders say they are willing to give back some of the occupied Golan Heights and Sinai Peninsula to Syria and Egypt but claim all of the West Bank of Jordan by right of historical claims based on the Bible. The DMC also objected to Begin's naming ex Defense Minister Moshe Dayan to be foreign minister, but that question has been put off until after the decision on West Bank policy. If the DMC goes into the opposition the Likud will need the support of Agudat Yisrael. an extremist religious party that wants an end to abortions, autopsies by permission of the family only, and exemption of religious girls from the draft.

VA. 24141 As our life changes, so does the way we use etectricitv 113Flrst A lot of people believe that higher electric bills are caused by higher electric rates. In part, that's true.

But a big reason many electric bills are up is because the amount of electricity we use is up. Today, for instance, an average family uses about four times more electricity than in 1950. And for a lot more things. In 1950, most of the electricity used in the home was for lighting, cooking, refrigeration and washing clothes. Now, less than half a family's electricity is used for that.

Instead, more than is used for air conditioning, color TV, dishwashing, clothes drying and hundreds of other electrical conveniences you wouldn't want to be without Unfortunately, inflation has drastically increased the cost of supplying the electricity needed to meet this steady growth in demand. And with new families continuing to join the ranks of our customers every day, the demand is going to keep on growing. So, keeping the power coming, and finding ways to keep its costs down, is getting tougher everyday. But, while we continue to do everything we can to hold down our costs as we keep up with this growth, there are some things you can do to help keep your costs in line, too. Use the appliances you have more efficiently.

Make sure your home is properly insulated. And, when it comes time to buy new appliances and systems, look into energy savers like the heat pump. If everyone makes an effort to do just a few of these things, we'll have a brand new source of energy to rely on. Ourselves. Appalachian Bower Working together is the only way..
