2 Santa Cruz Sentinel Thursday, March 11, 1976 Booze Bottle Changes May Drive You To Drink Cissinger Raps Foes Of Detente But you'd belter be cold sober when you stock up on your favorite spirits because beginning in October there will be 16 different sizes of liquor bottles to choose from. WASHINGTON (AP) -There are going to be some changes on the shelves of your friendly neighborhood liquor store and they may be enough to drive you to drink. sitive areas for Hs own advan It's all part of the government's plan for converting the country to the metric system. The Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms issued fegulations Wednesday to allow distillers to begin in October a three-year program changing their bottles to metric measures. But the changeover will be gradual and until 1980 distillers will be able to dispense their products in the 10 conventional bottles familiar to the liquor store patron as well as in the six designated metric size bottles.

By 1980 all bottles will be in the metric sizes. That means the drinker will have to make a choice during the transition period from 16 basic bottle sizes. The difference between some bottle sizes wil be practically in-distiguishable. Rex D. Davis, director of the alcohol bureau, said the new container sizes "should result in positive benefits for consumers as well as for industry and government." The changeover to metric measures, he said, should help consumers make size and price comparisons, and standardization should deter any consumer deception.

Under the rules issued by the agency, the current miniature, which contains 1.6 ounces, will become the new 50 milliliter size containing 1.7 ounces, The eight-ounce half pint will become obsolete and will be replaced by the smaller 200 milliliter bottle containing t6.8 ounces. A pint, containing 16 ounces, wjll become a 500 milliliter bottle containing 16.9 ounces. The "fifth," which is really four-fifths of a quart, contains 25.6 ounces. It will be succeeded by the 750 milliliter bottle containing 25.4 ounces. The 32-ounce quart will be replaced by the 33.8-ounce liter.

And the 64-ounce half-gallon will become the 175 liter bottle containing 59.2 ounces. Zebra Case Is Handed To Jury After 2 12 Days SWEET'S FURNITURE ROLL-AWAY BED SALE!

What precisely has been given up?" Kissinger said such critics are "suddenly pretending that the Soviets are ten-feet tall" and the United States is becoming a second rate power. They know they are wrong and are making reckless allegations, the secretary charged. It is time these critics come up with concrete options, he said. "What level of confrontation do they seek? What threats would they make? What risks would they run? "What precise changes in our defense posture, what level of expenditures over what period of time do they advocate?" After asking these rhetorical questions, Kissinger stated firmly that "It is time we heard answers to these questions." the secretary also had strong words for critics who charge the administration with overspending in military matters.

The effect of the attacks both from sides, unless stopped "will be paralysis, no matter who wins in November," Kissinger said. The speech was one of the strongest reactions Kissinger has ever made to criticisms of American policy, and it covered administration attitudes both home and abroad. He renewed his warnings to the Soviet Union against new Russian attempts to extend power over the globe. "If adventureism is allowed to succeed in local crises, an ominous precedent of wider consequence is set," the secretary said. No superpower should be allowed to systematically exploit regional conflicts or other sen tage, Kissinger said.

He also spoke harshly about the Third World and its attitude toward the United States and other Western nations. "Lopsided voting, unworkable resolutions and arbitrary procedures too often dominate the United Nations and other international bodies," Kissinger said Third World countries, particularly if they expect economic cooperation from the United States and industrialized countries, generally must stop automatic bloc voting at the expense of the Western alliance, he said. "Let there be no mistake about it; extortion will not work and will not be supinely accepted. The stakes are too high for self-righteous rhetoric or adolescent posturing," the secretary said. Kissinger also spoke bluntly about a controversy over West European resentment of American criticism of that area's domestic politics.

France and Italy have spoken recently against statements by Kissinger and other American officials concerning the possible involvement of Communist parties in their governments. "We must be concerned," Kissinger said, "about the possibility of Communist parties coming to power or sharing in power in governments in NATO countries no one should expect that this question is not of concern to this government." Even though some Western European Communist parties are independent of Moscow, their "Leninist principles and dogmas remain the, antithesis of democratic parties," Kissinger said. 99n JtliiUI WIDE SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Testimony about more than 20 random killings and assaults is being considered by eight women and four men trying to reach verdicts in the year-long Zebra murder trial. The case was handed to the SC County Tourism Is On The Rise (Continued from Page 1) 1975 showed that the tourist industry is doing well locally. The county tax took in $21,891 in the last quarter, compared with $15,370 for the similar period of 1974.

That is a 42 per cent jump. The city tax took in $90,206, compared with $68,491. Part of this increase is Klein noted, by the fact the city has increased this tax. For the county, 1975 brought in $137,542 from the transient tax, while for the city $277,949 came in. Klein said that particularly good results have been noted from publicity made possible by grants from county supervisors and the city council.

This publicity includes a brochure, special articles prepared by a staff writer and released to the press in general, and to a television campaign. Another big boost came from a walking tours brochure developed by, the city historic preservation commission. Some 1,000 requests for copies of the brochure came in after HUNG UP FOR use a panel Wednesday, the 212th court day since the four black defendants went on trial March 3. 1975. The four men are charged with murder, conspiracy, assault and other counts in some of the bloody attacks on whites two winters ago that terrified San Francisco.

The case was coded Zebra after the police radio band. Superior Court Judge Joseph Karesh instructed the jurors that only first-degree murder was at issue, and he admonished them to consider the case against each defendant as if he had been tried separately. Deliberations may be lengthy. There are 74 possible verdicts for the jurors to consider in weighing the variety of counts against the four defendants. The defendants J.C.

Simon. 29, Larry C. Green, 23, Manuel Moore, 31 and Jessie Lee Cooks, 30 are charged in some of the more than 20 Zebra attacks, but evidence about all of the incidents was introduced in the trial because of conspiracy charges. The arrests May 1, 1974, stemmed from the bizarre tale of a surprise informer, Anthony Harris. The ex-convict told police the defendants belonged to an offshoot of the Black Muslims dedicated to killing white "devils."

Klein reported the area had 140 conventions in 1975 and that these brought in an estimated $2.05 million.

This estimate is based on the "conservative figure" of $40 per day per delegate, a figure used by the International Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus. "Under presidency of Tom-Deveau we are going to do our best to beat that record in 1976," Klein said. Already booked for 1976 are 116 conventions. "An interesting thing," Klein noted, "is that we are now getting many of the smaller conventions because of a number of efforts made by the hotel and motel people." SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
