World Facing Headache Over Too Much News PITTSBURGH (AP)-The director of the U.S. Information Agency says the world is threatened with a splitting headache brought on by too much information.

He proposes fast, fast, fast relief through a worldwide grid of satellites dispensing the Information all over the globe. "Six hundred new book titles are published every day," said Leonard H. Marks Friday. "A hundred thousand journals and magazines are printed regular ly. By 1980 the amount of additional information we collect will equal in volume all the data produced in the previous 2,000 years." "One thing is certain: Unless we do something creative about the problem soon, we are going to end up with an information overload that outs the morning after headache to shan." So Marks took advantage of a speech at the dedication of the Duouesne Univers'tv Strdent Union to submit again his headache remedy.

The nations should establish a world information bank, which would include education centers all over te e'obe. The 59-nation satellite con sortium should make the spin ning spheres available for transmission of information to and from any point on earth in minutes.

Korean Who Held Hostages Finally Seized by Police SHIZUOKA, Japan AP A moody Korean who has spent nearly half his 41 years in prison for crimes of violence was fi nally captured today as he released the 13th of 18 hostages he had kept in a hotel here with dy namite sticks and a rifle Kim Hi-ro was not carrying the rifle as he pushed the host age, Namio Shibata, 26, out the hotel door into the midst of sev en plainclothesmen who were mingling with 60 news, radio and television reporters. The Korean then stepped back, thrusting his hands into his jacket pockets. The detec tives feared he might be reach ina for dynamite and five more hostages remained In the hotel. They kept still. Kim's hands suddenly came out of his pockets, and the detectives flung themselves upon him and pinned him to the ground.

Millions across Japan watched the dramatic capture on their television screen and heard the shouts and cries as Kim was dragged through the milling throng of photographers and newsiron. So ended a taut 88 hours during which Kim threatened to blow up the hotel, killing himself and his hostages, unless police met two conditions: (1) order police detective Isamu Koizumi to apologize on television for what Kim said were insults the detective made against Kim because of his nationality. (2) publicize the background of two men Kim shot down Tuesday night before taking refuge in the hotel. The two were local underworld characters. Kim was captured without either condition being met, although police had said they were willing to go along with the apology and were investigat-ins the slain men's background.

Rockwell Slayer Given 20 Years ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -John Patler, convicted of the slaying of American Nazi fuehrer George Lincoln Rockwell, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison but could be a free man in five. Circuit Court Judge Charles F. Russell imposed sentence Friday after denying a motion to set aside the verdict reached by a jury in December. However, Russell suspended execution of the sentence pending Patler's appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

The 30-year-old defendant had been one of Rockwell's closest aides until they argued and Pa tler left the party early last year. Russell perrrftted Patler to remain free on $40,000 bond dur-ing the appeal proceedings. Patler would be eligible for parole after serving five years of his sentence foundation toard. "Under the preponderance of the evidence introduced at that trial the question of the validity of the 1960 will and codicils thereto, it is clearly established that undue influence existed and was the procuring factor as to all or parts of such instrument," Edwards said. His ruling has yet to be filed.

An appeal would take the case to tfate district court. Gregory was not in the court room Friday and has never ap- peared once during the hearings which began last fall. One of the heirs to a 1948 will made out by Mrs. East, a granddaughter of ranch founder Kenedy, was Robert Turcotte, who stands to become richer by millions if the 1948 will is upheld through the appeals. He showed no emotion after Edwards' ruling but predicted the estate case may consume five years.

Other heirs under the 1948 will include some Roman Catholic Institutions. The ranch fortune involved includes th 400.ow-acre La Parra ranch in uth Texas as well as the spread's cattle and oil and other minerals. MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

JLA President Thomas Glea son confirmed the boycott would be held in abeyance at least over the weekend ending fur ther legal study. "They wouldn't work over the weekend anyway," he said of his longshoremen. The boycott came during a drive by organized labor to sun-POrt the strike that has virtually snut down domestic copper production by idling four major companies.

An ILA attorney, Louis Wald-man, said in New York the boycott was ordered in telegrams sent out by a clerk who had mis-Interpreted instructions from Gleason. Waldman said Glea-son, who was in Miami Beach, telephoned his New York office with a statement to be given to ILA attorneys for an opinion. Instead, the clerk sent out the boycott orders, Waldman said. The orders later were rescinded, Waldman said, but not before longshoremen had staged the boycott in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Washington, the Commerce Department ordered refiners to accept only defense orders and to withhold delivery on all orders for other users.
