"Who Me?"
Who is it that tramples through this
muddy water of life everlasting? What
matter of man be you that cuts my twain
with such vengence? Have you no sense of
love? Have you no charity for us who must
be different? I must be me.
Mark my words as I die. Make a case
against me. Persecute me through all
eternity. Do what you must for your self
rightousness.
You are wrong ! And you shall find no
peace . For as you deny peace to others,
peace s hall be denied you also .
Seek your happi ness in anothers ' s
sadness and you shal l never be happy .
A scourge and curse be on the peacemakers
for it is not peace they make .
Teach me not of a god who wages war for
any provocation . But tell me of a god who
loves all. One who expects each of us to
be ourselves , each in their own individualness
.
Let us define normal as being happy as
one ' s true self and seek to encourage others
in their own ways of happiness.
We are an art and God is the artist.
In his creativeness he c r eated us all .

P ress
Encouraged by a
fresh victory in St.
Paul, Mi nn., the forces
fighting legalized civil
rights for homosexuals
are preparing new offensives
in Kansas and
Oregon.
Anrl the fundamentalist
pastor who led the
winning side in St. Paul
says he 1s looking forward
10 the next battle
b('(·;n1:-.•' it"s in his old
h1,mf>1own of Wichita,
h. 1n
On Tuesday, St. Paul
voted, 54,096 to 31,694,
to rPpeal a four-yea rold
amendment that
added homosexuals to
those protected from
discrimination in housing,
employment a nd
p u blic accom mod ations.
According to homosexual
groups, about 40
cities have some sort of
homosexual rights ordinance.
But some are
clearly in trouble, others
have been repealed,
and many attempts to
create such ordinances
have been defeated:
- On May 9, Wichita
will vote whether to
re peal its ordina nce,
which has been in effect
since last September.
Repeal g r oups
forced the vote with
26,000 s ignatures on
petitions.
On May 23,
Eugene, Ore., will hold
a s imilar vote. The c ity
council passed the ordinance
last Novembe r ,
but it didn't go into
force because opponents
quickly gathered
10,000 signa t ures.
- In Dade County,
Fla. - pr incipally Miami
- last J une, voters
turned out in record
numbers to over t urn a
s imila r ordina n ce,
202,319 to 89,562. The
law had stood s ince
January 1977, but entertainer
Anita Bryant
and a group called
"Save Our Children ..
forced a vote by col-
1 ec ting more than
50,000 signatures. The
day after the vote. Florida
Gov. Reubin Askew
signed bills barring
homosexuals from marrying
members of the
same sC'x or adopting
children.
- In San F rancisco,
there has been no organized
opposition to an
anti-discrimination ordinance
that goes into
effect next month . But
throughout California,
petitions are circulating
to force a statewide
vote on whether to bar
the hiring of teachers
judged unfit because of
public homosexuality
or advocacy of homosexual
acts.
- In Seattle, two city
ordinances i;rant equal
job a nd housing opportu
nities regardless of
sexual orientation. But
a policeman is leading
a petition drive to get a
repeal referendum.
- In Baltimore, the
Community Relations
Commission has proposed
a non-d iscrimination
measure but it
has not yet gone before
the city council. Similar
state bills have
been killed by Maryland's
House Judiciary
Committee for the last
three years.
- In Massa chusetts,
the House last year defeated
a statewide bill
to prohibit sex-preference
discrimination in
many areas of public
employment - even
t hough it specifically
excluded teachers, police
and firefighters. A
similar bill is being
consider ed this year.
In Minnesota, spokesmen
for homosexuals
were vowi ng to fight on
in the courts - or insisting
t hat the defeats
in S\. Paul and Miami
only obscure larger
gains they have made.
But the Rev. Richard
Angwin, the pastor of
Temple Baptist Church
who led the St. Paul
repeal group, was
encouraged:
"I foresee doing some
work in helping Wic hita,
a city very close to
my heart," he said.
TOPEKA (AP) - It may be some time before
anyone can go into a restaurant in t his state and
purchase an alcoholic beverage to drink with or
without a meal.
Altorney General Curt Schneider says he is
advising the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control
Division· director against issuing any licenses for
restaurants to serve alcoholic beverages under
state laws as they now stand.
The 1978 Kansas Legislature passed bills int.
ended ro legalize the sale of alcoholic liquor in
es tablishments where sales of food account for at
least 50 per cent of receipts. It was an attempt to
say by definition that such restaurants did not
come under the Kansas constitutional ban on the
··open saloon ...
But the attorney general said it appears the leg-
1:-.lation is unconstitutional in its present form.
GO\'. Robert F . Bennett expressed doubts about
the cons titutional ity of the bills earlier when he
!rt !hem become law without his signa ture.
Schneider said constitutional protilems with the
legisla1ion might be helped if it were amended so
li4uor could be purchased in a res ta urant only in
<'On nection with the purchase of food.
He said issuance of a license by the Alcohofic
Beverage Control director under the law as it no\\/
stands would mock the Constitution ··which he, as
well as myself. is sworn to ui)hold."'

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
In response to the letter from
three former investigators of the
district attorney's office, Mssrs.
Denn, et al, wherein they cast aspersions
upon District Attorney Bill
White and his operation of that of·
flee, I will simply say that the
writers of such a letter should inform
Light readers as to why they
are former investigators, instead of
still working in the DA's office. Further,
it would appear they they must
have some personal motive (perhaps
hoping to get a job from Mike Her·
nandez should he be elected) for
writing such a letter.
As to my being among some sort
of privileged few attorneys so far as
Bili White's administration is concerned,
I invite all Light readers to
check with any district judge in the
courthouse and they wiii find that I
probably try more of my cases than
most of our local attorneys and will
continue to do so. Should Mike Her·
nandez be elected, I will be in as
good a position with him as with
Bill White, so the writers of the let·
ter should get their facts straight.
As to their comments that Bill
White probably got me to write the
letter I wrote, this is not true. My
letter was written not against Mike
Hernandez, but for Bili White. It
was my hope that Light readers
might be interested in hearing from
someone who is a friend of both
men, from someone who knows
. first-hand the superior qualifications
of Bill White for district attorney.

District Attorney Bill M. White is
holding on for dear life while Mike
Hernandez tries to shake, blow or
blast him loose from office.
White has been Bexar County's
d:strict attorney since April 1, 1977.
Hernandez has been running for the
job since before he made official his
plans on Oct. 12, 1977.
Hernandez started gearing up for
the campaign shortly after Gov.
Dolph Briscoe's appointment went
to White instead of Hernandez. So
far as the Bexar Democrats are con·
cerned, the issue can be decided
clearly and simply, since it is an in·
and·out affair, with the winner re·
maining on hand to meet a Republi·
can challenge in Noveml>er.
White is a veteran prosecutor
with about 14 years of experience in
courts at all levels. He was chief of
the felony section of the district
attorney's office at the time of his
appointment to the top job.
Hernandez was peace justice in
Precinct I. Place 2, for one term be·
fore he made his first race against
District Attorney Ted Butler in
1974. When Butler was appointed
to · a district judgeship, his elective
post opened up to set the stage for
the current White-Hernandez confrontation.
Hernandez claims a backlog of
cases exists amid inefficiency and
favoritism.
White has an impressive array of
statistics showing a marked reduction
in crime, stiff penalties for
wrongdoers and life sentences for
those habitual losers he calls "career
criminals.''
Hernandez points to his experi·
ence as a trial lawyer and a iud2e in
justice court.

Do-It-Yourself Pot
Test Formulated
DALLAS (UPI) - Recent warnings by U.S. health officials that
marijuana smuggled from Mexico could contain a highly toxic herbicide
has led to the creation of a do-it-yourself kit for testing the weed.
"Test 'N' Toke .. is being sold by Star Enterprises Inc. of Dallas to
provide what the company calls "total peace of mind with your high"'
in light of recent gnvernment warnings about the herbicide paraquat.
Used in Me~ico's American-aided drug eradication program, paraquat
was described in March by the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare as a possible cause of irreversable lung damage.
Later test• showed nearly a ll the herbicide in a contaminated
marijuana cigarette burned into a harmless compound when smoked.
The government's arnouncement, however. worried many of the
country's estimated 15 million regular marijua~;i users and prompted a
lawsuit by the National Organi1ation for the Reform of Marijuana
Laws.
The new test kit will be placed on the market in Texas within a
few days, said Troy And~rson. Star's nLu :u.~ ti11g director. The kits will
be available in four other states as svvn J< a Los Angeles ba,;,,d laporatory

Austin than in any other metropolitan

'hows.
On the other hand, New York and
Boston arc about the worst places for
the econom1cally minded, the Labor

In its annual report on urban family

that an average urban family of
four must cam $10,481 a year to maintam
a low standard or livmg, $17,106 for

to enjoy a high standard ..
The mcome levels represent the cost

on $14,776 and a high standard on
$21,727.
But if that family moved to Boston, it
would cost $20,609 to maintain a moderate
standard. And in metropolitan New
York, it would take $31,655 to keep up a
high standard. Both figures arc the
highest of the areas surveyed among
the 48 contiguous stales.
The San Francisco-Oakland area is
the most expensive place for a family
to maintain a low standard of livmg,
requiring an annual income of $11,601 a
year.
Living costs in Alaska and llawail
arc much higher than elsewhere m the
country, but they are not comparable
because of unique transportation costs
that drive up the price of goods.
In general, the survey reported, costs
were lowest in small Southern cities
and lughcst in large Northeastern
cities.
The figures, based on a survey conducted
last fall, were adjusted to rcncct
rising prices and changes in taxes since
the 1976 survey.
In 1976, the government said, 1t cost
an average of $10,041 a year to maintain
a low standard of living, $16,2:16 for a
moderate standard and $23,759 for a
high standard.
By 1977, a typical family of four needed
to cam 4.4 percent more money to
maintain a low standard of living, 5 4
percent more for a moderate standard
and 6.1 percent lo keep up a lugh stan·
dard.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated
that the median income for a family of
four in 1976 was $17,315. Figures for 1977
are not yet available, but they are
expected to rise.

Prison pressed
for Isabel Peron
BUENOS AIRES. Argentina (AP) -
Public prosecutor Sadi Massue asked
on Monday that former President Isabel
Peron be sentenced lo six years in
prison for misappropn ation oi public

Half a dozen charges of financial
misdealings have been leveled at Mrs.

She's a Crashing .Failure
SHERMAN, Texas (UPI) - U
Odessa Mae Parish ever takes anoth·
er driving test, she'll probably go
elsewhere to do it.
The Department of Public Safety
officers might r emember her in
Sherman.
Mrs. Parish, 72, had completed
h er driving examination Tuesday
and was about to receive her license
as she pulled into a pa rking spot at
the DPS office .. Officer Gene Hodge
decided she was too close to another
car and asked her t o back up and
try again.
He shouldn't have been so picky.
Mrs. Parish reversed, shifted to a
forward gear and then apparently
became confused about the functions
and placement of the brake and the
accelerator pedals. The car jumped
the curve and lunged through the
plate glass window of the license of·
flce, leaving 30 feet of ·sk idmarks on
the waxed floor as it plowed
through desks, c hairs and office
materials.
A clerk, Carlene Walker, 25, was
hospitalized with a broken foot but
there were no other Injuries.
Russian royalty claim
The old woman, shrunken by
age, peered out from behind a
dainty, gloved hand held close to
her face. Just a wisp of a knowing
smile hinted that she knew the
question before it was asked.
ls she really Anastasia Romanov.
daughter to the dead Russian
Czar Nicholas II? Did she really
somehow survive the mass execu"
lions of her family during the
bloody Bolshevik Revolution of
1918?
For more than 50 years now,
Mrs. John Manahan has been
answering "Yes" but saying little
else to convince skeptics worldwide.
At age 76, the story, the
claim~ remains unwavering.
MRS. JOHN MANAHAN
The princess from Charlottesvtlle,
Va., by way of Romania and
Germany did nothing to unra...el
the mystery minutes after de-planing
with her husband of 10 years at
Dallas-Fort Worth Airport Friday.
The couple came to Texas al the
invitation of local businessmen.
Friday night, they attended the
premiere of "Rasputin" performed
by the Fort Worth Ballet Association.
During a brief interview with
newmen, the diminutive woman
voiced her frustration with the
ever-present request for "documents
and documents" and with
"people who know more these days
than the people who were there."
Mrs. Manahan did not clarify
how she survived what history
generally says was an execution of
the royal family in a cellar in
Ekaterinburg (now Sverdlovsk).
The claim to royalty has never
been legally substantiated. However,
last year, a West German
forensic expert said he positively
ide ntified Mrs. Manahan as
Anastasia by comparing a picture
of her right ear lobe with a picture
of Anastasia's right ear.
A photo taken in 1913 shows the
12-year-old princess with a Mona
Lisa smile. Beneath the bright
camera lights in a bustling airport
65 years later, another smile played
across the lined face of an old
woman.
Is it the same smile? Is she real·
ly Anastasia?

Jill Clayburgh is a talented lady to watch
for. Like Diane Keaton, she is a young actress
who started in silly comedies and
has finally found the right picture to
prove herself. I can guarantee that she
will be nominated for "Best Actress" at

Nominee at this years Academy Awards
+'or "Best Documentary ," THE CHILDHSN OF
THTi;ATR?. 1TREET is the sensitive storyof
the children who attend the Linengrad
school of ballet in Russia .
The children, both boys and girls ,
are between the ages of nine and thirteen,
and only twenty are chosen from
over five thousand who audition . Those
that are chosen will study not only dancing
, which the school, of course , specializes
in, but all studies of a regular
educating school .
The most fascinating scenes in the
film , which is narrated by Princess
Grace Of ronocco , are the actual ballet
scenes themselves. Brilliantly colored ,
and grace.fully performed, they are the
very best to reach the screen. .
Unlike THE TURNING POINT , which
made dancerSS"eem snoopy and unlikeable
, TH2AT"!'lE .'iTTlEET shows them as
beautiful peo~le with pride . They are
set aoart from other children; they
know they are special.
The film goes from the grueling
begginning to the graduation night
o! one year at the school . It is a very
moving motion picture , full of the
beauty of dance , which soars so much
more in other countries . In America
it seems somewhat lost , but CHILDRi~N OP

I ···ill never feel the same about it . The

and ~e have to look at it. ~e must look
at it, feel the uain, think about it ,
end cry about it~ .. and make sure that
nothing like this ever happens again .
Tha film is the story of two families .
. ~ri.c and ~'arta '.Jori' are Germans, and though
we synnathise wit"l them in the start , it :3 ~ot long before they become definite
ene:~ies, The ·eiss family is the family

wire, who does everything in her power to
be ":i th her husband , v.'rlO has been unjustly
sent to jail for no reason.
The cast is simoly incredible . They
give the most believable performances of
any actors in a television movie . .Joseph
1ottoms as young Rudi is the best. His
wor;c is natural and convincing. Meryl
~trecp is also very wonderful as Inga.
~ven at 9~ hours, HOLOCAU3~ never
idles. It moves with clearity and its
audience is always caught un in its
horrowing story .
~y only comnlaint is that the end-ing
seems a bit quick . After all the
dVIelling on the cruelty of the Germans ,
it would have been nice for the film to
have snent more than two minutes show-ing
the Americans take over . Also at the
end, ~udi and Inga do not show as much
unset in their lives as through the story .
Things have cleared up too soon; things
have already been forgotten , and put
away , and that shouldn't be . Sut , everything
about it can 't be perfect , and it
damn near is. (****)

"ONE 5ING3 THE OTHER DOE3N"r" (U)
directed by Agnes Vard_a _ -
This is 1977's true picture about women,
and you would know that it would be the
French to do it. This is their answer to
American movies like THE TURNING POINT
and ,TULIA , ONE SINGS, THE OTHER DOESN'T
is a very nerso~d~uching drama
about two female friends. They are not
famous writers , radicals or ballarinas ,
they are just ladies. Ladies caught up
in the world of life. They feel , they
get emotional . They love, feel and make.
They have children. And one sings, and
the other does not.
They are not always together through
the film ; and often they are seperated by
many, many miles. But their love for one
another is strong, and they can always
feel each others presence.
ONE 3INGS, TH~ OTHER DOESN'T is a
quie:r-little fi~ full of no pretentions .
It is wonderfully acted and handsomely
directed .Art at its highest level . (****)

I hate to see movies like this for one
-reason: I sometimes like them. A critic
is j11st not supposed to like a movie like
ALl'03T SlJl'.'~'Eq! It ' s strictly a fun movie,
full of absolutely nothing artistic. But
can ' t movies sometimes be fun?
AJ.!'OS'r s UJ'!'MER is the story of the
people in and around the Pacific High
~chool campaign for student body , Jt
supplies more laughs than about four
recent comedies I can think of, and it's
got a warm attitude about people . There
are (for once,) no stereo-types . Even the
bad guys are good guys , It all leads up
to the senior prom, of course, but there ' s
plenty fun in getting there.
The c~st is just about the most sensitive
I ' ve seen in a B movie. None of
them are stars , but they've all got a
future . Didi Conn (so terrible in YOU LIGHT
UP MY LI~~.) is just perfect in thrs-film.
3he looks like a donkey with braces, but
her character makes up for looks with a
charming personality. As the boy who is
running for Pr esident of the student body ,
John Friedrich is attractive ·and able.
Really, all of them are wonderful, and I
loved this movie .
I ' ll probably never make another Rex
Reed or Gene Shallit, though , because
critics are not supposed to like fun movies
with sincere little messages, But I can't
heln it. ALrlOST 3lJT.'~1l':R made me just feel

-IS IT NECESSARY THAT POWER WILL LEAD
TO CORRUPTION ?
For the past sever al year s we have been
inundated with incidents of how power
does corrupt.
WATERGATE: A President of the United
States was forced to resign his office,
under pressure from some of th e same
people who ' chose ' not to seek re-election
or were thrown out of office due
to thei r involvememt in the Korean rice
scandal .
E~en closer to home we have the possible
colusion of certain local politicians
with the company that supplies the fuel
to light our homes and keep us warm.
This will surely turn out to be another
scandal, of lower key and of a local
nature , but a scan~al never the less.
How could a company sign a contract to
supply fuel at one certain price , then
a few years later raise that price with
impunity. They must of had some sort
of inside help. Realy •• •••
Certain organizations, who have gained
power by their efforts to organize
citizens groups to obtain the just due
o~ ALL citizens, have now, s ince they
have shown that they do have the POWER
Are they now planing to dictate to the
people need ? It seems .as if the voice
of the peopl e has become the loud-speak
er for a chosen few .
Now to the latest fiasco! An appointed
official, who is pledged to prosecute
alledged violations of the law is saying
he intends to send out HIS investigators
to protect , and if necessary "SHOOT TO
KILL" anyone who woul d DARE to disturb
one of HIS billborad ' s around the city
exorti ng peopl e to vote for him and by
thei r vote , return him to power , for a
full term of his own .
Maybe it is not necessary that POWER in
itself will corrupt but from the above
·detailed incidents it would lead the
voters of this community to believe that
it does , when put in the wrong ha nds .

WHO'S GOT THE WHITE HAT ?
Lately we have been hearing a lot of
pro and con on just who is the best one
~o represent us (the Gays) in the race
for District Attorney, and we have been
pressured, coaxed, chided, romanced, and
in general, pushed into a corner as to
WHO we felt was the man for the job.
I can not tell you who is BEST in that
position, I can tell you who I personally
feel more comfortable with. I'm
sure that most of us in gay businesses
have mixed emotions on the subject and'
I possibly have more than my share.
In the past I have seen, and been led
myself, down primrose lane by promises
of 'the land of honey' treatment if we
would help to elect certain persons to
a desired position. Feeling that we did
need a change, and that a new face had
to improve our position, we voted, we
delivered as requested, onlyto regret
it within a very short time.
As for our present District Attorney,
he is an appointed official, not elected
and he has been in office long enough
for us to have a general idea of just
where he stands. Remember this, if he
intended on any spectactulars, NOW is
when he would be going into his act, for
as"! just pointed out, he is appointed,
NOT elected and he is gohg up for his
first elected position. Now is when he
needs votes and needs them badly, so
again I remind you, if there was ever a
time in Mr White's career that we could
expect legal gymnastics, it would be
now.
I personally feel that the San Antonio
Gay has a fair and equel treatment when
it comes to the legal side of life, we
are not harassed when we go to bars,
or other gathering places. We are not
treated on a par with Los Angeles or
even San Francisco wh~n we some times
get carried away with our actions in the
parks and on the streets. In short, we
here in San Antonio enjoy a pretty much
trouble free life style as far as the
law enforcment agencies are concerned,
and this is exactly as it should be.
Now I find it hard to come up with a
reason to dump Mr White, a proven and
trusted, as far as I'm concerned, man
who has done us no foul deeds in the
past. I find no reason to feel he will
do so in the future.

Shoot boys
Q. (t'rom an unidentified lady cal·
ler) - Is it legal to shoot mean little
boys who come on my property? Do
I have to wait fer them to trample
my flowers or may I shoot them
when they set foot in my yard? May
I use a submachine gun? My neigh·
borhood has lots of little boys.
DA should rethink
policy on shooting
Lf'avmg a h()t political electi(
Jn c<impaign out of it. District
i\ttornl 'Y Bill White's reaction to
a rh<i!lf'ng\• of his two investigators'
action last week is shocking.
furthrr, he said it would be
justifiable homicide should such
an incidrnt lead to a slaying. 0
A. Ordinarily, Action Column
doesn't recommend shooting
ctti.Jdren with submachine guns. The
EPA has ruled that the smoke and
noise violate federal standards.
In the case of defending flowers,
the hassle with the feds doesn't
seem "orth the effort. However, if
the kidS are messing with something
important like tomato plants or the
District Attorney's political signs,
fire away.
Try not to leave any wounded.
The screaming makes the noise
level intolerable.
The investigators drew guns
on two boys who said they were
f'Xatnming a trailer on which
campaign signs were mounted.
The investigators denied they
drew guns and said they stopped
the boys because other signs
had nt'f'n vandalized.
Confronted with that story,
White said his investigators arc
aulhnnzcd to shoot anyone
found tampering with his campaign
signs aft<'r dark. Pressed
f ,1 1' /YU-LAP/ ~u ~/llk V~ ~em and plug ~em ~1j~- 1f
lfl:•following up Ois~~i AltOJ1/l!y .,ij\U, ,Wh)te's
anoouncement that hlS olffce investigators have' the
power to shoot anyone found tampering with his
campaign signs after dark, White was asked whether
that meant his investigators could sb.oot to kill in
such circumstances. "That's the w~y I read the
law," he said.
And the person who kills someene caught tearing
up a $2 yard sign, that is justifiable homicide and
they would get off? "As I see it, that would be
justifiable homicide," the county's chief legal officer
proclaimed. No telling what happens to people who
dare to vote against him.
Ewn allowing for over-reaction
during heat of the campaign.
White comes off an overly-
defensive public official. And
the invrstigators' on-duly status
as guards of the sign raises
qurst ions about the use of public
employees for campaign
purposes.
The inl'idcnt at the sign was
an \ncautious one.
White's response to it was
even more incautious.
Law officers don't have a
right to shoot people without
good cause and if While reads
the . law. th(?. way Ile ,says he
reads it. we have a sehous
problem in the district attor-ney's
office. Even ripping awa~ .

guns in any manner.
We hope Mr. White will reconsider
his position on the authority
of his armed investigators to
use thrir guns. Better yet, we
hope his investigators will decide
for themselves that careless
display of a pistol adversely
reflects upon their own skill and
training.

FORT WORTH (UPI) - Fort Worth police
have suspended indefinitely an officer whose alleged
beating of a city secretary April 5 required
a five-day hospital stay. a Dallas newspaper reports.
In a copyrighted story Saturday in the Dallas
Morning News, the paper said Officer S.C. Sosa,
34, was suspended on charges he beat Sharilyn
Lambert, 20.
The suspension was tantamount to firing,· the
paper reported. No criminal charges have been
filed in the case, although the police department
had recommended the district attornex's office file
aggravated assault charges against the undercover
vice squad officer.
A report to the Civil Service Commission from
Police Chief A.J. Brown said the incident began
when Miss Lambert heard a prowler outside her
apartment and called Sgt. C.A. Collins.
Collins came to the apartment and while there
Sosa knocked on the door twice but received no
answer, Brown said. Sosa then alleg.,dly broke a
window, unlocked it, raised the window and
entered the apartment, the chief said.
Brown said Sosa beat Miss Lambert. threw her
to the floor and kicked her repeatedly.
The chief's letter also said Sosa "was very
intoxicated" at the time of the incident.
Sosa has filed an appeal of his suspension to
the commission, which has scheduled a hearing
May 8.

San Francisco to reduce her sentence.
Once the Supreme Court's order
reaches the district court in California.

she served about two months of the
sentence before her family posted

- "Yup," agreed Willie
Nelson, with a grin
that'd stop a truck. "Big
beer joint."
Classiest one m his 30·
odd years of beer joints,
he figured. The White
House. Not bad for
Willie Nelson.
'Big beer joint,'
says S.A. singer
He'll bring his guitar,
a scarred-up old Martin
with musicians' names
etched in the wood, and
he'll probably do" Amaz·

boss can catch up on
'choir practice.
Jimmy Carter, known
as the country bo)' who
brought Vladimir Horo·
Witz to the White House,
is playing host to Willie
Nelson, live and in con·
cert, next September.
Not to knock Horowitz,
the classical pia·
nist, but some or the
12,000 folks who heard
Nelson, the country
picker, and two top Car·
ter aides do "Amazing
Grace" on stage Mon·
day night at the capital
Centre auditonum
probably think Willie at
the White House is a
step in· the right direc·
lion.
The aides were Jody
Powell, the president's
press secretary,. and
Frank Moore, Carter's
chi~f Capitol Hill
Nazi exhibit stopped
lobbyist. Seems they
had a beer or two. And
Moore missed his 8: 15
a.m. appointment Tursday
with the president.
Carter phoned, a bit
unhappy, to fmd his
errant aide.
"It was a Bloody
Mary morning," groan·
ed Moore after taking
Willie; his wife, Connie;
sidekick Waylon Jenn·

Jennings' son, Buddy,

FREEPORT, Bahamas
(AP) - World heavyweight
boxing champion Leon Spinks
cl&ims the drugs found on
him In St. Louis last week
were planted.
In an interview before an
exhibition match in Miami,
Spinks -said: "Somebody is
trying to set me up. Somebody
put those things on me."
"They tried to hurt me. They tried to
get me to do something then, and many
people out there are doing the same
thing," Spinks said.
Spinks was arrested Friday after
police allegedly found small quantities
or marijuana and cocaine in his posses·
slon.
'Frameup'
He called the charges a "frameup." It
was his second arrest in a month in his
home town. He was stopped on March
19 !or driving the wrong way on a one·
way street and driving without a license.
"I didn't have no marijuana or
cocaine on me," Spinks told reporters
who met him at the Miami International
Airport Friday night on his way to
Freeport.
The comments received a dim reception
in Sl Louis. George Peach, the circuit
attorney who issued the felony
cocaine possession charge, said Spinks
had blown his chances of first-offender
treatment.
"Based on what I read today, I'm not
going to do It," said Peach, who can suspend
prosecution a year to see if a firstoffender
defendant behaves himself.
"He's going around saying the police
are lying," Peach said. "One of the
prerequisites to get into the program is
to admit you erred and are willing to
make restitution."
Prayer for Today
I REALIZE, 0 God, <hat other
people's emergencies never
seem nearly so serious as
mine. I think that when they
are sick, its their imagination

but when I am sick, I'm terribly

that shares the feeling
of others. Amen.

famed movie on the South before
and after the Civil War, Ron Tobey,

Museum officials said the movie
was included in the program so audiences
could watch Griffiths' innovative
techniques and also because

After a four-week stint in Boston Hospital tor open nean

Wayne, wearing the wide-brimmed Stetson that has been his movie
trademark, trotted eagerly off a private jet at Santa Ana's Orange County

The 70-ycar-old actor, who had surgery to replace a ruptured heart valve
with a similar valve from a pig, was embraced by his two daughters, Aissa and
Melinda,_ as he hustled off the jet. He was accompanied on the flight by sons
Patrick and Michael and a doctor from Boston.

arrogant indifference, sent from office to office, and many cases are completely
disregarded. This is not the way to treat people whom this office is supposed
to serve.
MIKE HERNANDEZ promises to eliminate favoritism. A close look at the
record of the District Attorney shows a disturbing trend. Indictable offenses
involving people of financial or political influence are thrown out, while similar
offenses committed by less-advantaged people go on to trial. As an official
elected by all the people, the District Attorney should be concerned with
equality of justice for all the people. And he should not be susceptible to
outside influence.
MIKE HERNANDEZ promises help to educate the public in crime prevention.
To serve the people effectively, the District Attorney must have their under·
standing and support. Direct contact with the people is necessary. Speakers
from this office should form liaisons with school, community, and business
groups. Not just to enhance public relations, but to give citizens the facts and
get them involved actively in crime prevention.

MONTY CLIFT & LIZ TAYLOR IN "RAINTREE COUNTY"
Q. Anyone who has really known Elizabeth Taylor
surely knows that of all the men in her life, the one
she loved most deeply was the late Montgomery Clift.
Why then did she refuse to marry that remarkable
actor?-L.T., Richmond, Va.
A- It was the late Montgomery Clift who refused to
marry her-and with good reason. Clift knew that he
was bisexual, more attracted to men than women.
He knew, too, that he was alcoholic, drug-addicted,
spoiled, mentally ill and unstable. He preferred a
sisterly relatio~ship with Elizabeth, whom he lovingly
referred lo as " Bessie Mae." As for the actress,
she remained his best friend through all his trials,
troubles and degradations, offered to insure his appearance
in films when producers found him "uninsurable."
Montgomery Clift never married because
he preferred a secrel sexual life with a variely of
males. He was one of the most talented and bedeviled
actors in the history of motion pictures-so
bedeviled that he placed himself in the hands of a
homosexual psychiatrist who compounded his ills
instead of curing them.
My nephew Hector was home on
leave from camp with his pet skunk. I
asked what he did with it at camp, and
he told me he kept it under his bunk. I
said, "What about the odor?" He said,
"The skunk had to get used to it just
like I did."

Martha Mitchell told truth, book says
THE late Martha Mitchell, the
celebrated Martha the Mouth
of the Nixon Administration, is
about to win a more respected
place in American history.
The oatspoken wife of former Attorney
General John Mitchell was
a far more concerned and
courageous figure than the zany
personality that was projected during
the Nixon era, according to two
recent studies of her Jife:
• A new book, Martha: A
Biograph:; of Martha Mitchell, by
her friend and writer Winzola
McLendon, will show that many of
her public statements were right,
particularly about the Watergate
scandal.
• And an upcoming NBC
special called Right On, Martha,
has unearthed new material which
will convince many Americans
that they took Martha too lighUy.
The conclusions of both investigations
are similar to the worling
on a huge wreath that
nysteriously appeared on her
irave the day she was buried.
In nine-inch letters the wreath
I " .
Martha Mitchell
proclaimed: "Martha Was Right."
McLendon, whose book on Martha
will be published in the fall,
agrees that Martha was right
about a lot of things.
With the rest of America, she
watched through the years when
Martha drew litUe more than
laughter with her public
statements, midnight calls to
reporters and claims that the
Republicans were keeping her a
virtual hostage.
But Martha was the first to
publicly finger President Nixon as
responsible for Watergate. And
Martha spent many weeks trying
to convince people that the Nixon
Administration would try to blame
the scandal on her husband.
Few listened. But McLendon,
who had been a friend of Mrs. Mitchell
since she interviewed her for
Look magazine in 1970, knew Martha
better.
"I laughed when I heard Nixon's
statement that Watergate was
Martha's fault," she says of the accusation
made during the NixonFrosl
television interviews.
"A lot of what Martha has said
has been proven right. She feared
they were going to try to make her
husband take the blame. The tapes
have proved she was right."
Mitchen· was convicted in
January 1975, for obstruction of
justice in the Watergate coverup.
McLendon says the thousands of
people who have visited Martha's
grave in Pine Bluff, Ark., since she
died of bone cancer on May 31,
1976, are a sign that many realized
Martha was right.
The NBC special on Martha Mitchell
will recall that in May 1973,
she stood up to her husband's party
The grave of Martha Mitchell In Pine Bluff, Ark.
chiefs with the bravest statement
of all.
"Nixon has let the country
down," she charged. "He should
resign."
Her outburst was an embarrassment
to her husband, to the
Republican Party and particularly
to those involved in the Watergate
burglary and coverup.
"You have to understand -what a
brave act that was on her part,"
said New York Da lly News
reporter Ann Wood, who covered
Watergate. "The climate was so
strong against speaking out
against Nixon.
The saddest penalty Marti>& paid
for her outbursts was the b'reakupl
of her marr\He.
If inflation
stays same
The dollar worth 100 cents in 1978
will be, if it loses 6 percent annually
in buymg power, worth only 56 cents
m 1988, 31 cents in 1998, 17 cents m
2008.
If the loss is at the rate of 7 percent,
that $3tne dollar will be worth
only 51 cents in 1988, 26 cents in 1998,
13 cents in 2008.
Next, assume that a marketbasket
of goods and services bought by a
typical Ne\V York City family costs
~1 in April 1978:
A dollar's wotth of such goods and
services in 1978 will cost, at an
annual 6 percent rate of inflation,
$1.79 in 1988, $3.21 in 1998, and $5.74 in
2008.
If the inflationary rate is 7 percent
annually, the same goods and services
will cost $1.97 in 1988, $3:87 in
1998, $7-61 in 2008.
