murder. By DAVID DEARI.NG Entertainment Editor PORTALES "The Late Christopher Bean," a three-act play by Sidney Howard, is a somewhat frivolous comedy which lacks the depth to sustain the audience from intermission to intermission. Moments of good acting by members of Eastern New Mexico University's Corral Playhouse salvage the evening. "Bean" opened Thursday to a small audience at the ENMU Theatre. Performances continue tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m.

Nancijane Goodwin and Bob Lockwood both of Clovis are standouts in the production. Miss Goodwin, who portrayed Ada Haggett, the daughter of a depression-era doctor, turns in the most consistently credible performance of the play. Her part is well done. Her father, Dr. Milton Haggett, is portrayed by Bob Lockwood.

He is well-cast and pleasing per-. To the family's amazement, the world finally discovers Christopher Bean's art works which become suddenly very valuable.

CLEVELAND (UPI (-Attorney General William B. Saxbe said today the Justice Department has begun "major investigations" of illegal wiretaps and sales of electronic eavesdropping equipment and asked for public help.

In a speech prepared for the City Club of Cleveland, Saxbe urged anyone who suspects his phone is being tapped to tell federal authorities, "I am certain we all know decent, law abiding people who have admitted a moment of if not a twinge offear, when they hear clicks or suspicious background noise on their telephones," Saxbe said. "We do not want anyone to adopt a vigilante mentality. But we do want responsible citizen efforts to report possible violations of the law. We want citizens to let us know when they suspect illegal surveillance is being conducted. We also want them to tell us about the sale or advertising of electronic devices which may be illegal."

Sea Law Conference said today the concept of a 200 mile territorial sea, which is opposed by the United States and other maritime powers, might be accepted at the present 10-week meeting, "I would not like to be in the least prophetic because prophets may meet their own doom, but there is great acceptance for the concept of an economic zone, which means different things to different representatives," conference president Hamilton S.

Amerasinghe of Sri Lanka told a press conference. "The key issues are the questions of the economic zone and the exclusive rights of coastal states in that zone," he said. The United States and Russia, which have three mile limits, fear that a widening of the territorial limit would greatly prejudice the movement of their fleets, both commercial and military. Norway's Helge Vindens, said his country favored a compromise which would call for a 12 mile territorial limit plus and economic zone extending out a further 188 miles. "If the conference is to be successful," he told newsmen, "the outcome will have to be a combination of a territorial sea limited to 12 nautical miles and an economic zone extending to a maximum of 200 nauticaL Such a formula would give coastal nations sovereignty over resources up to 200 miles but permit free navigation.

Innocent passage of ships would be permitted within 12 miles. Vindens said the Norwegian position was worked out with Australia and bears a great deal of similarity to other proposals, notably a joint Venezuelan Colombian-Mexican one.
