Prison Crisis; JVo More Room I COLUMBIA (AP)-South Carolina Department of Corrections Commissioner William D. Leeke has presented his crisis to a legislative study com- jftittee and wants the panel to do whatever it can to help him oat. riLeeke's crisis, by now well known to most state officials, is bhe of space. He has 5,907 inmates, as ot Wednesday, in 14 facilities that were designed to hold 3,057 adults at optimum and 4,607 at maximum. "I assure you I would not have requested this hearing if it were not a matter of extreme urgency," he told the Correctional System Study Committee, chaired by Sen.

Walter J. Bristow, U-Hichland. Overcrowding "within the Department of Corrections facilities is extremely critical," Leeke said. The commissioner estimated the state's prison population will grow by 1,000 a year and said the construction of new facilities must continue, someway. 23 'PromiseKepf ToLee be COLUMBIA (AP)-Elmer 0.

Parker, a Columbia man whose search through a mere card- jtward box led to the discovery of a document that will make historians rewrite portions of their history books, said Tuesday's vote by the House to reinstate Gen. Robert E. Lee's citizenship was "the redemption of a pledge." "I really think the country gained more by the act of restoring Lee's citizenship," the retired assistant director of the military records divisoin of the He said the department must be allowed to continue building, even though the legislature and the Budget and Control Board have put a freeze on capital spending. "Ail indications are that this freeze will last until fiscal year 1977-78, which means that new bed space cannot be available for the Department of Corrections until late 1979 or early 1980," he said.

"It gained more because it kept a promise." He said Congress passed a law in 1898 to restore citizenship to those Confederate soldiers still alive, regardless of loyalty oaths or applicatons. But Lee had died more than 20 years earlier. Parker, who discovered Lee's loyalty oath in the National Archives while working in 1970, said the document fulfilled the amnesty conditions initiated under President Abraham Lincoln and continued under President Johnson. Although numerous historians have written that Lee never signed such an oath, the document Parker found was an oath of allegiance to the United States made by the general Oct. 2, 1865.

"Finding the oath was just like a confirmation," Parker said. "My initial reaction when I found it was that this is just what I believed already." was not advocating fiscal irresponsibility on the part of the legislature or the Budget and Control Board. "1 am saying, however, that the General Assembly cannot realistically expect me to carry out my statutory responsibility as commissioner of the South Carolina Department of Corrections without the funds necessary to provide constitutionally mandated minimal levels of care and protection for those individuals incarcerated in state institutions for violations of state law." Cotton Crop Expected Bring A Third Less in By VAN VANUCH ni Associated Press Writer An 'agricultural official says South Carolina's $69.7 million income from its 1973 cotton norop will be slashed by about sone-third for 1974. bn Althougtrfinal figures on 1974 Ksales won't be ready for anoth- two weeks, predictions are cash receipts from the strop of 310,000 acres will be "'''approximately one-third less what it was in 1973," says "Roger Foster, state agricultural statistician. In 1973, 'the harvest was 294,000 acres- Even less cotton was planted this year and the 1975 yield is expected to be only 140.000 acres.

Foster said farmers are planting less cotton and it's "100 per cent due to the fact that prices are so low. Farmers can't get enough for the product to make it profitable to grow." A decreased demand has been the main reason cotton prices are down, and the drop in demand can be traced! directly to the harsh times that have befallen the textile in- jdustry recently. But textile mills are again returning to full production as the recession begins to dissipate and the demand for cotton will jlikely be greater. I "There has been a little in- crease in demand of cotton in the past few weeks, but prices are still largely below the cost of production at this time," says Dr. Lawrence Harvey, extension agronomist at Clemson University.

He said prices have risen from around 40 cents, a pound to about 45 cents a pound recently, but farmers need approximately 55 cents to break even.

East, would surely return a trump, and then declarer would have absolutely no play for the contract. A more promising prospect was a crossruff.

That, however, required careful timing. Declarer won the ace of clubs and immediately cashed the ace-king of diamonds to guard against a defender discarding his diamonds during the crossruffing process and then being able to ruff one of declarer's winners. The next step was to pick a suit to start the crossruff, and declarer correctly decided that he had to tackle the longer suit first, since that required four ruffs and hence four entries. A heart to the ace was followed by a heart ruff. Three club ruffs in dummy served as entries for three more heart ruffs.

In all, declarer scored eight trump tricks (seven by way of ruffs), his three side-suit aces and the king of diamonds. Observe a declarer will he defeated if he starts ruffing clubs first, instead of hearts.

ATLANTA, Ga. AP) "We eed help.

Please take my son the hospital. Please help us," neighbor overheard Lila Allion say to police officers Tuesday night. Wednesday morning, Patrolman, CledNeal Wingo, drove up the Allison home in northeast tlanta with papers that would lave committed Danny Allison, 20, for psychiatric examination. Minutes later, Wingo and Danny's parents, Jake and Lila Allison, were shot to death with he officer's service revolver. Danny was arrested soon afterwards, walking along a nearby street with the officer's )istol in his pocket, police said.

He was charged with three counts of murder and was scheduled for a hearing today. A neighbor, Sam H. Locklin, said he heard what sounded like several firecrackers going off, and a few minutes later Danny appeared at his door. "Mr. Locklin, please help me.

Don't let them get me," Locklin quoted the young man as saying. Locklin, a retired postal worker, replied he would be glad to help, "but first let me have that gun." Locklin said he lunged for the gun, the two men struggled, a shot went off and Danny ran from the house. Police said he offered no resistance to arresting Neighbors described Danny as a quiet, apparently disturbed young man, who would appear at their back doors at night asking strange questions and pleading for help. "He never had any friends," said David McKinzie, 18. "His parents sort of ruled him.

He didn't have any hobbies. About the only thing he ever did was cut grass." Dea Adams, 19, said, "Every time you said something to him, he would kind of hang his head and look at the ground.

Do you understand Making Ends Meet Take The Shock Out Of Power Bffls ByJOHNDORFMAN If you want to save money on your electric bill, don't throw all your fancy gadgets out the window. The truth is, it hardly matters whether you use such things as electric knives and toothbrushes; they cost only pennies a "ear. You can eschew all the frills and still be stuck with a whopping electric bill.

Here's another surprise: Lighting probably accounts for only 10 to 20 per cent of your electric bill. How. then, can you bring down the amount you're charged for electricity? Basically, you have to concentrate on the three areas that consume the most current: Air conditioning Refrigeration Cooking With air conditioning, an important rule is not to try to cool your home below 78 degrees. Each additional degree you strive for may increase your air-conditioning costs by 5 per cent. If you're buying a new air conditioning unit, check its energy-efficiency rating (EER).

A unit with a for example, would use 33 per cent less electricity than one with an EER of 6. An EER of 8 or 9 is considered good; 10 or above is excellent. Using fans to vent hot air from your attic and your kitchen (during cooking) will reduce the load on your air conditioner, and save you money, since a fan costs far less to operate than the air conditioner does. It also makes sense to save heat-producing and moisture- producing activities for the cooler hours on summer days. Mopping, washing, and cooking should.be done early in the morning or late in the evening, when possible.

It is, of course, a good idea to close off rooms that don't need to be cooled, to avoid wasting an air conditioner's cooling power. Any furniture blocking the flow of air from the machine should be moved. And you should read and follow the maintenance instructions that came with your unit. In homes that don't have air conditioning, the biggest electrical expense is usually for the refrigerator, which typically gobbles some 1100 to 1900 Kilowat hours of electricity a year--perhaps 22 per cent of total electric consumption in a typical household. Your refngeratorwill have to if leyfibt foods" cool-to room temperature before putting them in.

Avoid leisurely peeking or browsing in the refrigerator for snacks: That makes the unit work overtime to cool off again. If you insert a dollar bill between the door and the cabinet of your refrigerator, it should not slide" out easily. If it does, you probably need to replace the gasket (the rubber seal that keeps the refrigeration compartment air-tight). Replacing a gasket costs only about J10, which is less than you'll save on your electric bill. To keep your refrigeration costs down, you should defrost your unit (assuming it's not frost-free) when frost reaches a quarter-of-an-inch depth.

Every couple of months, you should clean the condenser coils with a vacuum cleaner or an ammonia-soaked cloth. (Your instruction booklet will tell you where the coils are.) When cooking, you can save on electricity (or gas) by making double recipes. It costs less to heat up a meal than to cook one from scratch. If possible, cook an entire meal in the same part of your range--preferably the oven. An oven uses less electricity than the top of the range does, because it can "coast" part of the time on retained heat.

If you're making only a small meal (or just heating something up), consider using an electric skillet, or a toaster oven. Such small appliances use only about one-eighth the wattage of a full scale range. "IN TOP GROUP Jackie Elliott, manager of B.C.

Teaching With Newspapers To Be Workshop Emphasis COLUMBIA A three day "Teach 'n Tote" Workshop for public school teachers will be held Aug. 5-7 at the South Carolina Opportunity School in West Columbia.

Charlie G. Williams, deputy superintendent of instruction with the State Department of Education, the workshop deals with the usage of the newspaper as ley, reading consultant with the Office of Adult Education.
