Childers Funeral Thursday DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) -I a today Erskine Childers, Ihe first Protestant elected president of the predominantly Roman Catholic republic. He was 68 and had been president for 17 months. Childers, 63, suffered a heart attack Saturday night during a speech lo an audience of doctors on the stresses of modern life. He died early Sunday in a Dublin hospital. The body was taken lo St.

a i Hall in Dublin Castle, where it will lie in stale until Wednesday. Funeral i i be held a i Prime Minister Liam Cosgrave designated as a day of national mourning. Childers, a former deputy prime minister and popular veteran politician, was elected Ireland's fourth president after the retirement of Eamon de Valera. He was Ihe son of Robert Erskine Childers, a British army officer who sided with de Valera during the 1921-22 Irish civil war and was executed by the new Irish Free State for possession of guns. Childers, then IS, was taken lo say goodbye to his father in prison and later recalled: "He told me to shake the hand of those who had signed his execution warrant, never to bear a grudge, and lo ensure that civil war never blackened Ireland again." Childers made that his philosophy and won broad public support.

He worked for reconciliation with Northern Ireland, where the Protestant majority is intent on retaining tics with Britain. Childers' mother was an American, 'the former Mary Alder Osgood of Boston. He was educated at Cambridge University. Childers had two sons by his first wife, who died, and a daughter by his second Rita. Whalers Take Up Old Art Of Scrimshawing MAUI, Hawaii (AP) -The old art of scrimshawing is coming back to Lahama, once one of the leading whaling ports of the Pacific.

In the early IBOOs as many as 100 to 200 whaling vessels would anchor off shore during Ihe winter. The whalers, when (hey weren't ashore carousing, could be found finishing Ihe scrimshaw work they started when al sea. Scrimshawing is recognized as an original folk art developed by whalers during Iheir long voyages. They used the teeth and jawbones of (he sperm whale for their- carvings. The sperm is the only whale with teeth.

The whalers also employed Ihe black fibrous whalebone from of toothless whales. A good-size sperm whale has aboul 42 teeth.

The public is invited. ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) The Army's own investigation of the My Lai massacre describes the atrocity as a "war crime," a reference that could have repercussions in William L. Galley's case. "It's intercsling that the Peers Report called it a war crime." When the order came down from the Pentagon (charging Galley) it said "You will not call it a war crime, you call it murder," said J.

Both Houses Of Congress In Session WASHINGTON (AP) Congress is returning to business with many lame ducks among its ranks, a pile of unfinished business and more Irials of strength with the executive branch, Both houses convene today, and will shortly be taking a recess for Thanksgiving. Six veto messages from President Kord await the House. The a i leadership plans lo attempt congressional overrides on at a amendments to the Freedom of Information Act and of a bill broadening the vocational rehabilitation program. i votes tentatively have been set for Wednesday. -The House Ways and Means Committee, which has been wrestling wilh tax revision during most of the present Congress' two-year life, goes lo work on a slimmedrdown a a of a Committee members are skeptical about how many tax- law amendments can be pushed i a enactment before all pending legislation dies with this session of Congress.

The package is expected lo include higher taxes on oil companies, some relief for low-income persons and perhaps inducements for saving in institutions that finance mortgages. The Senate takes up a high priority money measure an $8.6 i i a a appropriation bill lo finance a i a a programs for Ihc remainder of the fiscal year lhat ends June 30. The a includes S200.000 for I a i i a expenses for former President Richard M. Nixon. The House approved the figure, culling it down Ihe $850,000 recommended by Ford.

In a new effort to untangle a jurisdictional snarl over aid to mass transit systems, the Senate is scheduled to take up later in the week an $11.8 billion authorization measure a i i subsidies for operations as well as capital investments. Houston Gordon, Galley's chief lawyer. The issue of war crimes has surfaced time and again in the turbulent history of Calley's court-martial and In the appeals which last September overturned his conviction for i 2 2 Vietnamese civilians in the hamlet of My Lai. It could again become an issue in a defense cross-appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if the Army wins its appeal of Ihe reversal of Calley's conviction, says another of Calley's lawyers, George W.

Latimer. The long-secret Peers Report, the Army's own investigation of My Lai, concludes that possibly 347 Vietnamese men, women and children died as a result of orders given by some lask force officers. The report, released last week, blames the coverup on every level of command in the Americal Division but is harshest on its commander, Maj. Gen. Samuel W.

Koster. It says that Koster and his aides apparently thought they were concealing the killing of 20 to 28 civilians and this "resulted in the suprcssion of a war crime of far greater magnitude." The report estimates lhat 347 My Lai residents were killed in three.hours on the morning of March 16, 1968 by members of three platoons, not just Ihe one led by Lt. Galley. II says crimes committed by GIs "included individual and group acts of murder, rape, sodomy, maiming and assault on noncombalant.s and the mistreatment and killing of detainees." The atrocities included an old man bayoneted to death, a man pushed down a well with a live grenade thrown after him and a young girl gang- raped, the report said. Galley, 31, Ihe only person convicted in connection with My Lai, is free on unrestricted personal bond while the Army appeals U.S.

District Court Judge J. Robert Elliott's reversal of his conviction. In granting Galley bail a i i i Columbus, Elliott thwarted an attempt by the Army to retain custody of Calley by granting him parole. The slight, balding former lieutenant becomes eligible for parole Tuesday but the issue is now moot, says a top aide of a A Howard H. Callaway.

The aide said Callaway had planned to parole Calley Nov. 19, the earliest date he would be eligible and simultaneously release Ihe Peers Report, which had been kept secret four years and eight months. "Calley is not on parole and he will nol be on parole Nov. 19," the aide said. "The Army is interested in paroling Calley any time bul we can't do it as long as he's on bail." Democratic Governors Discuss Legislation Animal Lover Develops Ranch Of Rare Specimens STHAFFORD, Mo.

(AP) From the lime Pat Jones was a kid on his parents' cotton farm in England, he's been bringing home animals. Forty years ago it was a stray dog, a bird with a broken wing, an alley cat. Today it's a rare Pere David (extinct in their native China since 1921), Tibetan yaks, gnus, Watusi (African) or Bactrian caltle. And "home" today is the sprawling Buena Vista a a i community 10 miles cast of Springfield. Jones, who made a name for himself in the Missouri insurance industry by building one of the stale's most insurance companies, is realizing a life-long dream with his Buena Vista Exotic Animal Paradise.

It's an outgrowth of the spread he started in 1961 when he purchased 320 acres of Ozark hills lo build the ranch he's always wanted. Jones' ranch grew to 7,400 acres and became a showcase in Ihc 'fifls, firs! as a breeding place for fine horses, then for expensive cattle. Next came buffalo, (licit deer, followed by Big Horn sheep. By 1969, Jones deckled lie owed it lo himself and his wife, Arminla, lo retire. Despite the glorious trappings of (he Jones ranch their earlier life had liccn a rigorous one.

They met in high school and migrated lo Los Angeles. He worked in an aircraft factory and they ran a HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) Democratic governors are seeking ways to prod a i controlled Congress into passing significant anti- inflation measures. a i meeting on this resorl island want to prevent renewed faclional battles al the party's mini-convention next month in Kansas Cily. Minnesota Gov.

Wendell R. Anderson, chairman, of (he Democratic governors, called on the party's congressional leaders lo pass "significant bills lhat deal with inflation." Hugh L. Carey of New York, a member of the House, said, "I'm going back- to Congress tomorrow to emphasize lhat this should be a back to work session. I think it is a test of Ihc Democratic party whether it can govern itself and help govern the nation." A 30 of the 46 Democratic and governors-elect began formal i a a chairman Robert S. Strauss and former North Carolina Gov.

Terry Sanfprd were to lead a discussion on the miniconyention this morning. Gov. Jimmy a of Georgia said on his arrival, "We must come out of Kansas City as a party of harmony. We don't want a showdown vote there just lo prove who is the strongest." Carey echoed lhat theme as he told reporters, "If the Democratic party goes to Kansas City and concerns itself over procedural matters when the people are concerned about bread, the people are not going to look kindly on the Democratic parly." He said the party charter should be debated for about two hours and the rest of (he lime at Kansas City, devoted "to bread and butter issues." Anderson said lie believed the governors could have "a tempering effect on our own delegations. And.

I think it would be very much in the best interests of tho country if a governor were on our national ticket" in 1976. Two Southern governors who have been mentioned as i i a i i a i a on their political futures Sunday. Gov. George C. Wallace of A a a a said, "I'm not a i I a candidate or not.

But I'm proud I plowed new ground in 1972 that makes it possible for a Southerner lo run for president and to get the support of other sections of the nation. "But at least in 19761 believe i i i a gardenia nursery. The two of his latest venture, jobs meanl many 20-hour Jones is more anxious to talk another the somebody lo vole for rather than someone to vole against. Wallace said the governors "would have quite a voice in i i a campaign. Governors con make' recommendations and they will have an input.

They will have influence." Carter, when asked about the power of governors in national politics; said, "The governors must express the will of their own people. I think the people have a more direct voice in the party than ever before, Eagles Choose Officers The Retired Eagles Activities Club of Hoosick Falls has elected new officers to lead the group in its activilics for Ihe coming year.

Joneses sold the company in 1969 and spcnl a year traveling about the country. But retirement was not Pat Jones' bag. During a trip to Texas he had visited a drive-through animal preserve. What better vocation, he thought, for a man with 7,400 acres of Ozark hills and a love for animals.

He decided to make the move in March of 1971, hopped on his bulldozer and carved out a (M-mile course up and down the hills and around the lakes of a wooded 400-acre portion of the ranch he'd never visited before. That was the trail thai would be covered by more than 2 million visitors in the next 3W years. It was.back to the 16-hour workdays he'd known most of his life. He personally supervised every construction detail while searching Ihe Uniled Stales and abroad for inhabitants to join the 500 animals already on his ranch. I''onr months and six days after thai first bulldozer Irip, the park was opened to the public.

The response was above expectations. In 1972, there were 380,000 visitors to the park. Last year it was 700,000 and Ibis year he expects lo surpass a million. June's attendance was 38 per cent ahead of Ihe same month in 1973. Fifty cin- ployes keep the park open year-round, except for times when snow or ice make Ihe steep roads impassable.
