Tuesday, July 16, 1974, Spokane, Wash.

At Spokane International temperatures with a high of 75 and a low of 55. Chance of rain today is 30 per cent and 20 per cent tonight. Wind will be from the southwest at 15 to 30 m.p.h., Reynolds said. Airport, visibility was reduced to about three miles because of the dust, Harry Reynolds, meteorologist at the airport, said. During the morning and ear.

ly afternoon, the skies were clear with the thermometer climbing to 82 degrees at 1:47 p.m., Reynolds said. The wind later in the after. noon cooled the air and spread a coat of dust on windows, cars and streets. Monday evening the wind died down, Reynolds said. The forecast today is for variable clouds and cooler By PAUL BUNNING SackesmanReview Staff Writer Cool and crisp as ice, the Carpenters calmly impressed their audience during their first of two performances at the Opera House Sunday night.

Karen Carpenter, of courses was the standout. Her voice and stage presence were so good that she sparkled. However, leading off with a medley of old hits, "Rainy Days and Mondays," "Top of the World" and others her voice was lost in the thumping percussion. The drumming of Cubby O'Brien, former Mousketeer, and an overloud electric guitar drowned out her voice at key places. The audience cringed a bit, action form.

It tied the whole show together. The 'whole performance was worth waiting in those lines last spring to buy tickets for the long-since sold out show. The performers accurately recreated the syrupy, maudlin old recordings, replete even with bonified motorcycle roars for "Leader." Then Karen led 14 shy, stiff kids from the Spokane All-City Summer Choir, who provided the chorus for the hit "Sing," which in the Carpenters' recorded version used 12 dubbed-in voices. The Spokanites were nearly fla wless. Closing the brief show with "Sometimes" Richard on piano and Karen singing and "We've Only Just Begun," the duo proved themselves sincere, rich, mature performers.

Her voice grew stronger and stronger as the song ended; his playing was masterful throughout. It was over too soon. Luci Has Third AUSTIN, Tex (AP) Mrs. Patrick J. Nugent, left the hospital Monday with her third child, Rebekah Johnson Nugent, who was born July 10.

The mother is the former Luci Johnson, a daughter of the late President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Nugents have two other children, Patrick Lyndon, 4, and Nicole, 4. Dr. Carroll Si mps W312 Eighth, became the new president of the Northeast Chapter, Washington State Heart Association at the group's annual meeting cently at the Ridpath Hotel.

He succeeded Dr. William C. Tubbs, W1412 Country Club Court. Other officers elected for the 1974-75 term included Stan Martin, N602 Herald Road, chairman of the board; E1821 Thirty-sixth, president-elect; vice presidents Arthur Crum mett, S4323 Havana, Mrs. Waverly J.

He had signed all the proper papers before his last entry into the hospital and Medicare and the insurance paid all the final bills.

You can imagine my surprise in receiving a letter from a collection agency in April 1973, asking for payment on two bills. One for $52.10, the other for $25.30. I called the agency immediately with no results so called the hospital whose bookkeeper was very pleasant and promised she'd check out the situation. I heard no more from either source until this spring when I received a very firm letter from the collection agency demanding payment for $35.16 and $72.41 in my husband's name. If I'd ever received a statement and it turned out justified, I'd have immediately paid it.

As it is, I'm being asked to fork out money for services I'm confident were paid for long ago. Help me if you can. Chattaroy, Wash. The hospital's assistant administrator looked into the account and found that the portion of the final bill in 1969 not paid by Medicare was somehow overlooked by their bookkeeper. Their computer apparently got overeager one day and amazingly picked up through a conversion this old balance and from that time forward statements were generated, eventually finding their way into the collection agency.

In view of the age of the account and the confusion surrounding it, the hospital administrator has elected to write off the balance. You'll be receiving no more statements or duns. ZA ALES Our People Make Us Number One WRENS Guitar Music at Library Is Scheduled as the noise banged around in the confines of the opera-House, but as the Carpenters smoothed out their nerves, Karen asserted her calm control and the band relaxed. From then on, it was all magic. Karen took over the drums for a few songs, O'Brien helping out on bongos.

Launching into the Beatles' "Help," the Carpenters, in fact, needed none. It even got better. Richard Carpenter introduced their big song, "Mr. Guder," saying it was written about their former boss (who fired them) at Disneyland seven years ago. They gave it that extra zing of personal feeling.

Jazzing it up, toying with its rhythms, slowing the beat here, spicing it up there, adding the inspiration of a cajoling flute, they were really good. Then they did "Close to You" and "Yesterday Once More," which were performed more like their recordings. Karen's voice was clear and sharp; brother Richard's harmony was excellent. Then the group did a series of 1954-1964 hits and there, too, they were good; giving themselves, perhaps, a little rest from the motion of their own songs. "Leader of the Pack," "Johnny Angel," "Who Wrote, the Book on Love," and "The Run a a were handled competently, guaranteed pleasers for the mostly-over-30 audience.

The warm-up act, the comedy routine of Sidles and Henderson earned a few belly laughs for the impatient auoience. Incessant patter and punning ranged from the type one's brother-in-law does to honest hilarity. Bill Skiles tended to make too many jokes out of Henderson's attempts to sing "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," but there's no doubt the two were entertaining. They also got into the Carpenter's act when they turned on a strobe light and jumped around to the music in stop Eckankar Lecture An introductory talk for Spokane students of Eekankar, spiritual development movement, will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Washington Trust Bank, N1928 Monroe, a spokesman said.

'til 9 SUN, 12 to 5 Birth Record Hard to Get About a month ago, I sent a telegram to the vital statistics department, City Hall, Oakland, for my birth certificate. After two weeks had passed, I went back to Western Union which rewired the request and waited another week. Still no answer. Western Union said both wires had been received. At this point I went to the public library to see if I should have a better address to write for the document.

I learned that California natives born after 1905 must write the capitol, Sacramento, for their certificate. I did so; still no answer after another month. Can you secure either my birth certificate or a refund for my Spokane It's getting so a person needs to be psychic to understand how to find the proper government department (whether local, county, state or federal) to secure information or documents. In this case, the Health Care Services agency of Alameda County in Oakland was the correct office to approach for help. The agency's deputy registrar has sent you a letter stating your previous requests were never received and asking the proper questions for you to answer to secure the certificate.

Birth certificates are becoming more and more important these days. Often they are needed quickly and there is an unexpected delay in obtaining them. If there are other readers without such a document in their possession, we strongly urge contacting your local county recorder or health office. One of which usually has the correct information as to where to send for out-of-county, state or country certificates. They can also give the price of a certificate from non-local area.

D1LIMEil Vid A L' OS guE PR TOU (Os M9rT MEE DI lAgIEVJEMTI Mo II1EM ID TO OLlEER0170 An 18-year-old burglary suspect being escorted to CountyCity Jail Monday afternoonc briefly broke away from a dective and ran from the Public Safety Building. Duane M. Potter, 18, E2114 Hartson, was apprehended just outside of the north parking lot near railroad tracks, Det. Jack E. Neumiller said.

"He started crying and then made a break for it," said Neumiller, who was escorting Potter at the time of the escape try. Potter was arrested earlier Monday in connection with a house burglary Sunday in which $600 worth of stereo equipment was taken, Neu-miller said. Potter was booked in County-City Jail on a charge of second-degree burglary and bond was set at $2,000. Trash Cans Don't Beautify We have been to Expo '74 several Sundays and each time, due to where we park, have walked through the center of downtown to return to our car in the eve-' fling. In front of one particular business, there is always a number of garbage cans.

I have not noticed this being done by any other store. Why does this one create such an eyesore on a major street? All the work that has been accomplished to beautify the city is quickly undone by trash cans.R.S. The problem lies in he fact that the cans cannot be taken out on Friday nights due to a lack of service Saturdays. The cans cannot be taken out Saturdays because it is felt they would be an eyesore for the people traditionally out on the town that night and for the Sunday drivers and strollers the next day. Thus, Sunday evenings seemed best.

However, your concern caused the store's management to again evaluate the situation the cans will be put out early Monday mornings from here on out. Action Corner, dedicated to solving problems of public interest, will walk, talk, run and dig to get information for you. Answers to the most interesting questions will be published; others will receive mailed replies. Readers offering further information or taking issue with Sunday through Friday columns are invited to send their views to "Re-Av. tion Corner" published Saturdays.

Send your problems or comments to Action Corner, The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash. 99253. Your name will not be printed, but must be included to permit a reply. Telephone inquiries cannot be accepted. All communications must be by mail.

The fleet, totaling about 45 ships, was said to be steaming as usual, although some U.S. naval vessels which were due to enter Mediterranean ports may be held at sea in case they are needed to evacuate Americans or for some other purpose connected with the crisis. Sources said several hundred U.S. Marines and naval personnel who were sent to Cyprus in connection with preparations for clearing mines from the Suz Canal several months ago have been withdrawn. In 1967, when Greece and Turkey appeared on the verge of war over Cy.

prus, U.S. warships and Marines were moved into position off Cyprus. But the situation cooled without any U.S. military intervention. The carrier Forrestal is reported in the eastern Mediterranean, as is a fivevessel amphibious force carrying 1,300 Marines.

The helicopter carrier Inchon is one a these ships. The 6th Fleet normally has a reinforced battalion of Marines afloat with it. A second big aircraft carrier, the America, is in port at Rota, Spain, far from the scene of the Cyprus troubles. GEMINI MAY 21 21114 20 V70-75-7986 I. CLAY R.
