He then left his watch which turned out to be an inexpensive model-- and said he would return shortly with the quarters. The man never returned, police said.

Sellers: I'll Enforce Helmet Role DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Iowa Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sellers said today he Intends to enforce restrictions requiring cycle operators to wear helmets and eye-protective equipment.

He said the resolution specifically states it would not be effective unless passed by both House and Senate. After Sellers' announcement, two long-hatred, bearded motorcyclists from Des Monies held a separate news conference and said they would refuse to wear the helmets. Well go to jail first," said Joe Hoyka of West Des Moines. Sellers said that 33 states lave similar regulations requiring helmets and he said Iowa must implement some such restriction or it could lose federal matching funds for building and maintaining highways. Sellers also said the attorney general has stated the public safety commissioner has the ability to make such a requirement.

"We can help decrease the Iowa traffic fatality toll by as- motorists that the driv- these vehicles can operate them with safety." Sellers said any helmet with an eye shield would meet the requirement He said many helmets which meet federal standards are available for less than $20. suring ers of Press-Citizen Has Bomb Threat A bomb threat was telephoned to the Press-Citizen this morning, prompting a thorough search of the building by city detectives.

Woolley, a photojournalism professor here, has taken his case to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). William Connor, head of the University of Iowa AAUP chapter, said Woolley has "asked us to investigate his firing by the university." "What he is saying is that his firing is based on political considerations and not on his competence as a teacher," Connor explained. Witt Us for investigation, Woolley submitted a "packet of materials" listing allegations against the head of the UI Journalism School, Malcolm S. MacLean. The allegations deal with aspects of the Journalism School administration of which Woolley las been critical in the past.

That criticism, Woolley led to the decision not to renew his contract Woolley said bis list of allega- jons also had been submitted State Sen. Francis Messerly, El-Cedar Rails, who drew attention to Woolley's dilemma several weeks ago when he released a letter from Dean Dewey B.
