Only the armed forces is nsidered institutionalized and cohesive enough precarious as it is to offer an alternative to chaos or outside intervention for the tenance or order It is a grim prospect The Haitian armed number about 5500 men with 5100 in the Army 175 in the Air orce and 325 in the Coast Guard Its equipment is World War II vintage or earlier with the heaviest aside from ships and aircraft an unspecified number of light tanks and 40 mm anti aircraft batteries two of which arc installed on the Palace grounds Grass Noise TT USED to be said that on hot summer nights you could almost hear the grass growing Certainly in this day of the power mower you can hear it being cut down OCH NESS Scotland Sometimes the scientific quest for the Loch Ness monster takes a back seat to more questionable but intriguing methods Two photographers manning an observational outpost on the loch were approached by a lady dowser you like to know in the says she I says the photog She takes out a bobbin at the end of a bit of string and holds it vertical meantime raising her hand palm out like radar until she says: got the vibrations A father a mother and three little ones At 60 feet No at 30 The two leaped for the camera says she and they sat down again you like to know its favorite says she And she takes out a color card and swings the over it asking: like red? You like And when she said like the swings back and forth over the card like sinuous with an undulating neck and a relatively small head "But no reptile that we know of can survive at tem peratures of 42 degrees found year round at Loch Dr Mackal points out Another intriguing possibility is that Nessie is a left over from prehistoric times Loch Ness was once an arm of the sea but geological upheavals closed if off from the ocean Creatures trapped there at the time might have adjusted the slow change from salt fresh water and survived this day neglect over the week ends some husbands use baby talk in their Monday calls Some use it on other days too but such fellows are not to be trusted They have full time guilt complexes The other way I overheard a chap as hefty as Joe Namath breathe into his phone: is this my sweetsie weetsie?

whole herd of Loch Ness monsters living in the murky depths of this "famous lake according to a biologist who has been hunt ing the elusive for three years could hardly be a single says Dr Roy Mackal of the Univer sity of Chicago of something strange in ths loch date back for centuries If living animals are involvedthere must be a breeding herd" Dr Mackal and other Amer ican and British researchers have accumulated enough evi "dehce to encourage the idea that there are a number 'of which are big fast and alive in the 25 mile long :800 foot deep lake Dan Taylor who recently descended into the loch in a one man yellow submarine spotted a sudden disturbance in the water ahead of his craft was as if something very large roused itself from themud and hurriedly saidthe 27 year old ex submariner Taylor built the 20 foot sub in his backyard in Atlanta THE CREW of a more so phisticated three man sub brought into the loch by a motion picture company dived close to the bottom and spot ted on its sonar what may have been one of the monsters "The target was an esti mated 30 feet in the men reported was sighted on sonar at a depth of 600 feet and a range of about 300 feet GEN GERARD CONSTANT a 1911 graduate of the Haitian Military Academy is the arm ed chief of staff and their nominal commander although Duvalier is the com mander in chief The Haitian Military Academy closed in 1961 mean ing the only present source of training for new officers is on the job Haiti has ignored American offers for Haitian officers to visibility to about 10 feet attend West Point Annapolis Everyone involved especially Taylor is quite conscious of the possible danger in getting within 10 feet of an animal reported to be 30 feet long and weighing several tons Internal bracing has been added to reinforce the fiberglass vessel Of course there is the possibility that the in the lake an animal at all It is possible that the sonar readings the sightings and the photographs could be in terpreted in other ways schools of fish sodden logs or an' overstimulated imagination However scientific proof that there is no Loch Ness monster would probably not convince local people Stories about Nessie are a part of Scottish lore now whether they exist or not By PHILIP LOVE Special to Buffalo Evening News WASHINGTON Many husbands make it a point to phone their wives from the office every day This necessarily due to an excess of devotion In some cases the only chance a couple has to talk to each other On working days the morning rush allow time for conversation even when both partners are in the mood for it which isn't often I for one am unfit for human society until had my second cup of coffee and by then no time to say anything but "Goodbye dear Ilave a nice Some mornings there even time for the bit One fellow I know confides he's such a slow starter in the morning he has had to abbreviate his farewell to Have His wife who is even slower barely manages a grunt I CALL her in the he told me never get to talk When I get home in the evening busy fixing dinner I say she says we exchange pecks and I turn on the television I like to watch the news so we eat from trays in the living room he continued "we' both like to read the to find out more about some of the news we got on TV and of course to get all the other stuff The comics for instance and our favorite columns we turn on the television again to watch our favorite programs what few there are anymore I usually fall asleep until time to hit the Some couples try to close the in another There can indeed be an of as its most skilled practitioners maintain but you find any political equivalent of mixing two parts of hydrogen and one of oxygen and getting water This is all by way of preface of expressing some sympathy for Sen Hugh Scott (R Pa) who was elected Senate minority leader this week and whose election by Senate Republicans was hailed in some cifcules as a victory for the liberal wing of the party SUCH A LABEL grievously offends Penn Ivania Republican Such a designa tion he made plain to reporters is distasteful to both his wife and himself and he will continue to disavow it as courteously but as firmly as he can He will however gladly ac cept the label of Republican moderate He bother to definite moderate Our office dic tionary too satisfactory in spelling it out either sug gesting that the noun means holder of moderate views as in politics or lt gives es an example of moderates an 18th Century party connected with the church of Scotland that held "liberal even lax views on questions of doctrine and con duct but observance Possibly moderate as an adjective more closely fits Sen Scott due bounds observing reasonable limits not cessively restrained" But admittedly Sen Scott has a political labelling pro blem and not the only one he was a member of the House of Represen tatives Sen Charles i Goodell used to shun as vigorously 'as Sen Scott the liberal tag and preferred to be thought as a moderate Now like it or not he seems stuck with the liberal label and causing him problem with his science or if so the most in Republican constituency in exact of sciences Politics does New York State not respond to immutable law Secretary Robert inch of and what works in one given Health Education Welfare political situation work was overheard to complain the other day that he had come to be known as the Nixon ad "house and that it was causing him dif ficulties THE LATE Supreme Court Justice elix rankfurter was said by many observers to have made a 180 degree switch from a highly liberal law pro fessor to a highly conservative jurist He resented it bitterly and told this reporter once: labels have become tired and The student rebels on cam puses these days like to' be called radicals of the left Yet they are more offended to be classed as liberals The trouble in political labelling extends to such words as capitalism and socialism Svetlana Alliluyeva Stalin the late Russian daughter who has been granted asylum in this country had her difficulties recently discussing Socialist nations with a reporter on a TV quiz show Svetlana abhors Socialist states because as she ex pressed it they destroy in dividual freedoms But when a reporter mentioned the Scan dinavian countries as examples where socialism exists with freedoms still guaranteed she demurred She does not regard the Scandinavian democracies as true socialist states To her communism and socialism are interchangeable words both meann repression DWIGHT EISENHOWER used to say he was a con servative in fiscal affairs and a liberal in human affairs But his administration wound up as neither A term he used at another time was and perhaps (that conveniently imprecise label hit closer to the thrust of his administration Alas there Is no litmus valier sources of power since to the Dominiques in a family May 8 when Duvalier report power struggle They suddenly edly suffered a heart attack and unexpectedly returned and more recently with the from Miami last week departure from Haiti of most however the presidential family Mare p'mse generally regarded as the most politically astute and ambitious member of the family next to her father also is expected to return from Europe soon DUVALIER HIMSEL has seen in public with in creasing frequency since his reported May 8 heart attack and

Haitian armed forces with tac tical capability worthy of the name is the 8 0 0 man Dessalines Battalion stationed directly behind the Palace in Port au Prince The Presidential or Palace Guard also is considered to have some tactical capability if needed It is a 700 man unit stationed at the Palace and commanded by Col Gracia Jacques an appointment based on political not military con siderations It
