Denied County Funds LOS ANGELES (AP) Charles M. Manson, conducting his own defense against murder charges in the slayings of actress Sharon Tata and six others, has been denied $750 in county funds to hire an investigator.

Superior Court Judge George M. Dell earlier had approved Manson's right to have an investigator and a tape recorder to aid him in preparing his case, but noted Friday that the hip- pietype cult leader had stated earlier before another judge that he was not indigent. Therefore, Dell ruled, the 35- year-old defendant is not entitled to county money for such purposes. Manson Is scheduled to enter a plea Jan. 28.

Four of his alleged followers are also accused in the seven knife-gunshot kill- Ings last August. A fifth member of the clan is charged only in two knife slayings.

Extension on Filing Accident Report Given Committee OK PIERRE Wl The deadline for filing an accident report with the motor vehicles commissioner would be extended from five to 10 days under term of a bill recommended for passage Friday by the house transportation committee. The committee also recommended a companion bill which would extend from 50 to 60 days the time limit for giving written notice of security to be deposited in accident cases. Both bills were sponsored by Rep. Donald Ostoeim, R-Watertown. Osheim said the five-day reporting limit was often unrealistic, especially in accidents involving injuries.

In other action, the committee gave unanimous "do pass" approval to a bill which would repeal a law requiring demonstration of ability to drive in order to obtain a driving per mit. The bill would not pertain to behind the wheel driving tests required for a driver's license.

S'jpertransport Is Grounded By JAMES PHILLIPS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Discovery of a crack in the wing of a C5 Galaxy supertransport, the world's largest aircraft, has prompted the Air Force to suspend flights of the huge planes until the wings are modified and strengthened.

The Air Force currently has 10 of the airplanes which have aroused controversy in Congress because of their cost. An llth supertransport was due to run off the Lockheed assembly line today. Officials said Friday the crack of 8 to 10 inches in length was found as a plane was undergoing wing modifications at the Lockheed-Georgia plant in Marietta, Ga. The break occurred In the area of the wing that earlier ailed static load tests registering 125 per cent of the designed load limit, the Air Force said. Despite the crack, officers said it was felt the planes could flown safely.

The crack was discovered on a plane that had been undergoing flight tests at Edwards Air Force Base in California. A spokesman saidJhe plane probably had the crack in its wing while it was being flown across country to undergo modifications ordered as a result of the earlier static test failure. The apparent weakness found during the ground tests prompted engineers to design an aluminum brace to strengthen 11 points on the huge wing.

The former factory is the office of the "outreach" department of the Hunt's Point Multi- Service Center, a federally funded antipoverty agency in a sprawling Puerto Rican section in the south Bronx.

It has also become home this week to more than 200 neighborhood residents forced to leave their homes by a series of fires or because landlords have not repaired broken boilers.

His mother, Mrs. Sara LaSanta, says she found Jose frozen to death in his crib last week, with the temperature near zero, no heat in the building, and broken windows In her apartment. "When I went there," says antipoverty worker Ruben Rios, "there was ice in the hallway.

It was warmer outside. There Had been a fire, and we wanted to close the building, 'but the landlord didn't want to close the building.

Frank Farrar said Friday he would consider a bill to put the control of the Gas and Electric Utilities in South Dakota under the Public Utilities Commission. Speaking at a news conference, the Governor said this did not mean he would favor such a measure. "I haven't read In detail what the proposed bill would en. tail," Farrar said. "I would not object to the bill or to any bill whether it puts control of the utilities under the public utilities commission or under a separate agency.

"The Important thing," he said, "wotlld be whether the bill in question provided the strong protection for the public that is needed." However, the Governor said he still believes the people of South Dakota should have the final decision in the fate of the Gas and Electric Consumers Council law that he supported and that was passed by the 1969 legislature. The law has been referred to the general election ballot, and Farrar said, "I think the people should vote on it. If don't want the the law provides and I still think it is a good law they shouldn't be forced to have protection." Farrar said he hopes that the utilities, if the consumers council law is voted on by the people, "would use some judgment and not spend on a campaign fight millions that could be used to lower utility rates." Farrar also said if an Ore Tax Repeal Bill made It through both houses of the legislature, "I'd sign it."

Manages and teaching and leallng civilians. "Strangely," he said Friday night, "media of communication report very little of these types of civic action Perhaps such activity is too common to be newsworthy." Laird singled out Dr. A.

Edgar Hoover, writing in the Parents and Teachers Association magazine, said the nation's high schools are being targeted for campaigns by New Leftists hoping to widen the gaps between students and administrators. The survey and Hoover's article were released independently and there was no implication that the New Left was responsible for the recent problems in the schools.
