12 The C'all-Leader Wednesday, February 9, 1977 Names in the news MIAMI (AP) Consumer advocate Ralph Nader was unhappy when he had a poor turnout of students for a talk at the University of Miami. But for once he didn't knock the product; he put the blame on the consumer. "This is not your ordinary university," Nader said. "They must major in scuba diving down here. When you go to a college where the weather is so important, I guess you're not predisposed to a commitment to social causes." So why did some students miss the chance to hear him Monday? "Everybody already knows what he's saying," said Marie Mar.

"He's brought to the forefront a lot of things people should be aware of. But he needs to come out with something more provocative, something really Said law student Bonnie Edwards: "I've already made a date for tennis. And I saw him twice last year. I'd love to go again, but exercise is important." LONDON (AP) Queen Elizabeth II has planted an oak tree in a park beside the Houses of Parliament, the first of many thousands of trees to be planted in London as part of her silver jubilee year. Staff members at the House of Lords waved and cheered from their windows Tuesday as the queen chatted with spectators after the ceremonial planting in Victoria Tower Gardens alongside the River Thames.

"We chose an oak because it is the royal tree," said a spokesman for the London Celebrations Committee, which is handling the capital's events marking the 25th anniversary of Elizabeth's becoming queen. LONDON (AP) Sir Laurence Olivier, whose acting laurels already include an Academy Awards Oscar, collected another honor Tuesday. He was named best film actor of 1976 for his of a Nazi war criminal in "Marathon Man" at the annual British Variety Club Awards ceremony in London. Elevated to Lord Olivier in 1970, the 69-year-old actor received his in 1948 for "Hamlet." Lady Olivier actress Joan Plowright was voted best stage actress for her performance in the London play, "The Bed Before Yesterday" by Ben Travers. It was the first time in the 25- year history of the Variety Club awards that a husband and wife have won awards in the same year.

They came to our rescue when our furnace blew up. We didn't have any heaters and couldn't buy any around town as they sold out, because of the bad snow storm: He got on his CB and rounded up some electric heaters to help with our heating problem until we could get a new furnace put in. Thanks again boys.

Also thanks to the people who cared enough to loan the heaters to the boys to help us out. Elwood could use a few more young men like these boys. They also worked their way back through the very bad roads to get the heater to us. We really thank you all. The Harold Heeter family Grain report The grain report at 8 a.m.

NOTICE: Change of Plans Alexandria Masonic Craft Club FISH FRY will be February 26 Adults: $250 Several bills have been introduced by Sen. Roger Jessup (R- Summitville) in the current session of the Indiana General Assembly. Several weeks ago Senator Jessup filed SB 229 which would have increased the inheritance tax exemption for surviving spouses and children. The bill, assigned to Senate Finance (Taxation Subcommittee) was a result of an Agricultural Interim Study Committee, of which Senator Jessup was chairman. Later in the session SB 551 was filed by Senator Wayne Townsend who is Chairman of the Taxation Subcommittee.

Senator Jessup explained, "Using the Chairman's prerogative he chose to move his SB 551 in committee before mine or others which had been filed several weeks earlier. However, because SB 551 will raise the inheritance tax exemption, as SB 229 would have, I agreed to serve as coauthor of the bill. SB 551 will increase tax exemptions but it will only begin to bring them in line with the rate of inflation, which is my final goal." Senator Jessup began his interest: in state legislation after he had input in the National Task Force which was instrumental in passing federal tax legislation in 1976 to raise the inheritance tax exemption. Another bill introduced by Senator Jessup, "would prohibit the delivery or possession of a portable police radio and provide a penalty of up to 180 days in jail and a fine of $1,000 for anyone breaking the law. Those exempt from the effect of this law include governmental entities, law enforcement officers, firms that provide emergency service, manufacturers, sellers and persons obtaining permits to have such radios in their possession.

Senator Jessup stated, "the purpose of this bill is to control the possession of portable radios which monitor the police band. In the hands of the thief and burglar this device can be used as a very effective tool during a robbery or burglary." Last week in caucus Senator Jessup expressed a deep concern for the increasing energy problem facing our state. The Senator stated that he, "would be in favor of study of the energy problem which would speak to the situation on a state level. This study hopefully would 'assess our present energy needs as well as a program of development to meet future energy needs. Jessup stated.

this point natural gas is a real problem, but we also need to investigate increasing the use of solar energy, nuclear energy and our vast coal reserves as alternatives. In other words, we need to use the best pool of energy resources our state has available." Senator Jessup will be co-authoring a Senate Concurrent Resolution with Senator Harris to accomplish this. Senator Jessup concluded by saying. "As the session quickens its pace we will be faced with several key issues. The input from district 20 is needed and will be appreciated.

Please contact me by mail at the State House, or by phone at Sharp opposes salary hike making. Congressman Phil Sharp today testified against a proposed increase in the salaries of Congressmen and other high government officials. Sharp told the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Presidential Pay Recommendations, "I do not believe a 29 per cent increase is justified, and I am opposed to the way the House is preventing a vote to disapprove it." A 1967 law established a commission to make salary recommendations every four years to the President, who then forwards his recommendations to the Congress. If neither house of Congress disapproves the recommendations within 30 days, they go into effect. The Senate has already voted not to disapprove the recommendations made by former President Ford, and the House has scheduled committee hearings on the measure which will use up the remainder of the 30 days allowed for disapproval.

"I am aware that the Salary Commission and President Ford recommended this increase." Sharp testified, top government salaries since 1969 have only risen by 5 per cent while the cost of living has increased by two "But the attempt to catch up suddenly, with one giant increase of over $12,000 is wrong." In addition to the size of the proposed increase, Sharp cited three reasons for opposing the Congressional pay raise. "To control inflation we will have to ask business and labor not to drive for excessive wage and price he said, "but if we allow this major increase in our own salaries we will be setting the poorest possible He also pointed out that the Salary Commission had recommended that the proposed salary increase be tied to a strict Code of Ethics for Congressmen. "I know that work is underway to draft the new Code of Ethics and that it cannot be done too hastily," Sharp said, "but I believe consideration of any salary be postpone until we have guidelines on such things as outside income for Congressmen and disclosure of all The 10th District Congressman cited a "final, very important reason" for his opposition to the pay raise. "Every Member of Congress ran for office last November knowling what the job pays." "While Congress has the Constitutional authority to set its own salaries," he testified, "any changes should only be effective in the following term. "This would require us to stand for election before the increase." he continued, "and the people could determine whether they wished us to continue to represent them at the higher pay scale." "This practice is used by many State he concluded, "and I believe it is a sound Sharp has co-sponsored three bills this year to control Congressional pay raises.

One would defer any Congressional raises until the following term. Another would require a separate vote of both the House and Senate before any raise is granted. A third would freze Congressional salaries until comprehensive, strong ethics requirements are established. McBride takes lead PITTSBURGH (AP) Lloyd McBride, the administration backed candidate for the United Steelworkers presidency, took a sizeable lead over rebel Edward Sadlowski today. in unofficial early election returns.

Figures gathered by The Associated Press and McBride's campaign workers gave the 60-year-old union veteran a rough 3-2 lead in the hotly contested race for PUBLIC NOTICES STEEL WORKERS Officers and committee members of Local 2882 United Steel Workers have announced they are in disagreement with a letter reportedly sent to employes layed off due to the natural gas shortage. The letter from Continental Can Co. states that those employes are eligible for only two weeks of S.U.B. pay per article 28.237 (C).

However, ballot counting at the Sadlowski camp put the challenger ahead by 6,000 votes with 40 per cent of the union's 5,000 locals reported. The AP's unofficial survey gave McBride 164,216 to 100,857 at 2,752 locals.

McBride's camp gave him 209,279 to Sadlowski's 135,028 at 3,474 locals. John Askins, a Sadlowski aide said his candidate had 112,000 to 106,000 for McBride. "We figure as long as we were even early today we'll win by a big margin," he said. McBride said he felt comfortable with his apparent lead. "I think we have a good chance at hitting our prediction of a 60-40 victory," he said by telephone from his home in St.

Louis today. "But I'm not ready to claim victory. I want to wait until we can get an assessment of some of the larger locals." The union's big locals, concentrated primarly in the basic steel industry were not part of the early returns. It is in these areas that Sadlowski was expected to do well in the race to replace retiring President I.W. Abel.

Both camps said more than 550,000 members voted Tuesday, but the turnout was not as heavy as expected. "A McBride victory would mean a continuation of stable relations with our industries and our membership," said Abel, who made an appearance at McBride's headquarters early today.
