an endless line of petitioners, each of whom must lay their troubles before him, and makes government decisions down to the smallest detail. It is not the way to run a government. Under these enormous pressures it is little wonder that Sheik Mujib tells visitors he is feeling worn out and ill. Worst of all, he is considered the one man capable of holding Bangladesh together. Although the United States accorded diplomatic recognition to Bangladesh only belatedly, it has been among the most generous of the world's nations in its offers of aid.

1350 Million Pledged Total aid pledged by all sources comes to about $350 million. Of this, U.S. aid comes to about $100 million, including grains, vegetable oils, emergency shelter supplies and a little more than $35 million to help move emergency food supplies out of clogged ports and into the hands of those facing death from starvation farther inland. Despite trailing far behind the United States in the total of its aid, the Soviet Union has taken advantage of the U.S. delay in according formal recognition to move far ahead in the propaganda field.

Mujib has lifted the ban on communism and Soviet-Bangladesh friendship societies have sprung up throughout the country, leading the attack on the United States as an enemy After Easter RINGTOWN AREA NEWS I 8 ZONING AGREEMENT A settlement was reached in a zoning dispute between residents of the 20th and W. Market street area in Pottsville and a firm seeking a variance in the ordinance. Judge Guy A. Bowe, Jr. approved the stipulation agreed between Mel-Penn Co.

Inc. and Timothy and Ruth Reilly, who represented 79 petitioners who appealed to the county court from the Pottsville Zoning Board's ruling approving the variance. The board had allowed the firm to use a property owned by Ray Grapsy at 20th and W. Market street for use as a showroom, storage and repair shop for small generators. Under the agreement reached in court the Mel-Penn Co.

is allowed to use the building for the work if it prescribed with the following limitations: The property can only be used for offices and display area for small portable generators and the minor repairs to small engines, however, the work is not to present any nuisance with regard to noise, sight or odor. The occupant of the building must furnish off-street parking for employees and customers. OFFICE EARNS $3,300 Register of Wills Harold Boyer turned over to the county treasurer's general fund more than $3,300 in office earnings for the month. This included $3,319.50 from filing fees and other office collections and $1,019.52 from commissioners on inheritance tax. In previous years the commissions were paid to the register of wills but under a new law which went into effect in January the money goes to the county general fund.

For the first three months the inheritance tax commission has totaled $6,107.62. Boyer also reported there were 63 marriage licenses issued by his office this month to bring the total for the year to 204. PROPERTY TRANSFERS Daniel and Joan Demansky to 1 ii ii By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst For many of the more than 70 million inhabitants of Bangladesh independence has meant exposure to profiteers, looters, starvation and other ills attendant upon a government in paralysis. And the fact that some 60 of the world's nations, including the United States, have recognized the new nation does little to ease the agony of its birth.

Fdnelli, Exalted Ruler Earl W. Winger, Secretary of Bangladesh and backer of Pakistan.

It has been estimated that nearly 230,000 tons of food lie aboard ships in Bangladesh harbors, kept there by a shortage of transport and a web of bureaucratic red tape much of which is attributed to United Nations headquarters in New York. Toni Hagan is the Swiss head of U.N. relief operations in Dacca. He asked for 30 barges to move food inland and got two. No Storage Place He estimates $30 million is needed for bridges, culverts and 5,000 trucks to carry food supplies.

And as of today, even if additional badly needed food supplies were to arrive, he would have no place to store it. The difficulty is that most of those attempting to administer Bangladesh are amateurs. Thousands of East Bengal technicians still are being held in West Pakistan, apparently as hostages for future peace negotiations. The personality of Sheik Mujib has been the glue which held together Bangladesh's largest party, the Awami League. But the league is breaking down into factions and many of its lesser leaders are accused of open profiteering.

It's a sick country which needs considerably more than diplomatic recognition to assure survival. Scott Avery and Craig Torrence.
