Lord Thomson, 82, Dies Ex-Gulf Official Gets Year TULSA, Okla. (UPI) A retired comptroller of the Gulf Oil William C. Viglia, has received a one-year prison sentence for lying to the Watergate Grand Jury. Viglia, 71, of Tulsa, pleaded guilty to the charge July 1, saying he did not' know $4 million he brought into the United States from the Bahamas was being used to make illegal campaign contributions. U.S.

District Judge H. Dale Cook said he could not find any reason for Viglia to lie to the grand jury after he had been given immunity for his testimony by U.S. District Judge John Sirica. Viglia was sentenced Tuesday. He could have received a maximum of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Harry Crowe, Viglia's attorney, asked the judge to consider a suspended sentence, saying the one-year sentence was "somewhat harsh." The judge declined. Viglia lied to the grand jury during its investigation into the "Bahama Arrangement" by which Gulf funds were brought into the United States from the Bahamas, where Viglia lived, and used for illegal campaign contributions. Cook said Viglia was ordered not to keep records of the cash transactions although the defendant did keep his own private record. Viglia, who retired in March 1975, was charged with transporting $4.5 million into the United States during years. Viglia said he was not told how the funds were used.

He was accused of lying when he told the grand jury he had abided by customs regulations, effective since 1972, which require persons to declare possession of more than $5,000 in United States currency when entering the country. He also was charged with lying when he told the grand jury he never had been questioned about $25,000 in cash found in his briefcase. Viglia has said his mistake was not taking advantage of the immunity given to him by Sirica. In Loving Memory of Cpl. Jacob D.

(UPI) Highway construction crews at work on an interchange along Interstate 5 have unearthed what may be the remains of an campsite. Remains of hearths, cooking utensils and spear points have been unearthed and a guard was posted at the site Tuesday to prevent plundering.

An archeological team from the University of Oregon Museum of Natural History has been working alongside highway construction crews at the site unearthing artifacts. Pieter Dykman, Highway Division research coordinator, said carbon samples from the excavation will be used to measure the age of the campsite.

For, it can mean that over a period of time our body has become adjusted to a medicine and the drug will no longer achieve the desired effect it once did. This tolerance effect can apply to many types of common use drug products laxatives, cough preparations, skin treatment creams and ointments. With prescription medicines the tolerance effect can be even more serious. We will always caution you when such a possibility exists. YOU OR YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US when you need a delivery.

To Curb Guerrillas TEL AVIV, Israel (UPI) Government sources say Israel and breakaway Lebanese forces have been holding talks under U.N. auspices to curb resumption of guerrilla activity against Israel from southern Lebanon. The news of the secret contacts was made by Israel's state-run radio and television networks Tuesday. The reports said at least three such meetings have been held at the Rosh Haniqra checkpoint on the Israeli-Lebanese frontier. The radio and television reports said the meetings came at the request of the Lebanese Arab Army, led by Ahmed Khatib, a former Lebanese Army lieutenant who broke away from that force last March.

The disclosure was the latest in a series of allegations that Israel has been secretly in touch with various Arab factions in the Lebanese civil war. The Jerusalem Post said last weekend the Jewish state had been shipping arms to right- wing Christians and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said Tuesday Israel and Syria which has 15,000 troops in Lebanon met recently in Geneva. The latest reports said nothing about the substance of the talks, but government sources said they involved the future of southern Lebanon, a major staging area for Palestinian guerrillas before the start of the Lebanese fighting. They said the Lebanese representatives appear to have assured Israel that they would not permit Palestinian guerrillas to use the border area for renewed attacks against Israeli targets. Israel has warned that it reserved the right to act in the event of a Syrian or Palestinian military buildup in southern Lebanon.

The sources said the first two meetings were held in a friendly but somewhat strained atmosphere. But after the third meeting, the Israelis treated their Lebanese counterparts to lunch in the northern Israeli resort of Nahariya. In other developments, Arab municipal and business leaders on the West Bank have called for an end to the three-day trade strike in that area but vowed to continue fighting a new sales tax. There were a few stone- throwing incidents in several towns during the strike, but no casualties were reported.

J. (UPI) A superior count judge has refused to grant attorneys for Rubin "Hurricane" Carter a delay in his scheduled retrial next month on triple murder charges. Superior Court Judge Charles S. Joelson denied the request Tuesday by attorneys for Carter and John Artis, who are scheduled to be retried here Sept. 27 on charges of murdering three tavern patrons in 1966.

They sought the delay in order to complete a pre-trial defense investigation.into the slayings and complete several pre-trial motions. Carter and Artis, who served nine years in prison following their convictions in 1967, were granted new trials early this year after two prosecution witnesses recanted testimony which placed the two at the scene of the murders. The attorneys for the pair also asked the trial judge, Passaic County Court Judge William S. Marchese, to order the state to pay the estimated $30,000 cost of the defense investigation of the slayings. Marchese reserved decision on the motion.

Bench Files For Divorce CINCINNATI (UPI) A divorce suit has been filed by Johnny Bench, who disclosed his marriage of less than a year to Vickie Chesser was breaking up before the start of the baseball season.

Kohr was not competent to make a will when she signed the document that bequeathed her estate to a sister. Dr. Carl Sherk, one of three physicians taking care of Miss Kohr at the time the will was executed, agreed with prior testimony from Dr. William E. Schaeffer Jr.

that she was confused and mentally incompetent.

Several scheduled witnesses are on vacation. Nurse Testifies Also testifying Tuesday was Dawn Koehler, a Good Samaritan Hospital nurse. She told Judge G. Thomas Gates that she was in charge of giving medications and sometimes Miss Kohr would refuse to take her medicine and it was necessary to come back later to give it to her. Debate Move Of Mine Post WASHINGTON (UPI) A Senate subcommittee begins deliberations today on a House- passed measure to move the Mining Enforcement Safety Adminstration from the Interior Department to the Labor Department.

Tuesday, Kentucky Sen. Walter Huddleston called on that subcommittee to make numerous changes in the nation's mine safety laws including elevating the administrator of the Mining Enforcement and Safety Adminstration to the level of assistant secretary. Huddleston urged the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee in a letter to committee chairman Harrison A. Williams to also support mandatory safety training for all miners, and increase number of mine rescue teams and stronger penalties for mine operators who have an excessive number of violations over a short period of time. "My primary interest is in assuring that nothing in this bill will weaken existing coal mine safety laws or dilute its enforcement," Huddleston said.

"This will require that a high degree of autonomy for MESA and its separation from other occupational safety programs be preserved in its transfer." He urged the following measures be taken to ensure that autonomy: MESA be created by statute rather than cabinet- secretarial designation. MESA be headed by an assistant secretary rather than adminstrator A separate budget authority be maintained. MESA be authorized whatever additional personnel required to carry out new safety programs. He also urged the subcommittee to enact a minimum requirement of 40 hours of safety training for all new underground miners, 24 hours for new surface miners, eight hours annual retraining and specialized training when a miner changes jobs Dr. Sherk related that Miss Kohr was living a life of fantasy and that some of it involved past shopping trips.

"The only way to get her to respond," he related, "was to say, 'Let's go shopping to Carrie It was a reference to a former Cumberland Street clothing store. The physician then went on to say that Miss Kohr would reply, "They call me Bring-It- Back-Again-Clara." Miss Kohr's sister, Lillie M. Sheffey, is named sole heir under terms of the will. In the event the will is voided seven nephews would share in the estate. Steel Mills Unfreeze NEW YORK (UPI) Steel mills are starting to unfreeze capital construction programs halted last year although in some cases reducing the size of the construction plans, according to Iron Age magazine.

A few new construction projects have been announcef, the magazine said, but most of the capital spending is going toward steel mill plans that were sidetracked last year by a drop in steel demand. The magazine says a new wave of steel mill spending may be triggered by U.S. Steel Corp. The company is reported to be preparing plans for a new mill on Ohio lakefront acreage, it says. Steel mills will continue to rely heavily on internal sources for capital funds, according to the magazine but it notes several recent equity offerings by major mills were snapped up by investors.

June and July price hikes also will aid the steel makers, according to the magazine. READING, Pa. (UPI) Four men were held today in the Berks County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail each on drug charges in connection with 1,000 pounds of marijuana confiscated by state police during a raid.
