FEBRUARY 8, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 3 City Is 'downright cordial1 Demonstrators have fallen on 'easy time' By WALTER R. MEAKS AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP)—Nowadays, when throngs of protesters descend on Washington to block the streets and demand their way, the government is downright cordial. Police bend the rules, the mayor counsels leniency and highway lanes are set aside for the demonstrators. In a city where jaywalking can get you a $5 ticket, militant farmers demanding more money for their crops got police escorts on the way to block traffic. Perhaps the people who came to protest against the war in Vietnam eight years ago should have cut their hair and driven tractors. Instead of permits, they got mass arrests. Before the 1971 May Day demonstrations ended, 12,000 people had been swept up in police nets. Virtually all those arrests were later ruled illegal. It was not a proud time, but Middle America generally applauded the roundup of demonstrators. Now part of Middle America is doing the demonstrating, demanding not peace but parity. The farmers of the American Agriculture Movement did not say they intended to shut down the city. But with nearly 2,000 tractors massed around Washington, it was obvious they were not planning quiet efforts at persuasion. Police set aside lanes for their "tractorcade" into town, to ease the guaranteed traffic jam. That covered four routes, so the farmers split their forces and tied up eight highways. Official cooperation, apparently, was supposed to promote an orderly demonstration. In fact, the farmers had more success than the May Day Tribe in fouling up the city. There were scattered episodes of violence and arrests. Most of the trouble occurred Monday. Late that afternoon police barricaded the tractors on them all to keep them from fouling up traffic anymore. After they get through clogging traffic, the farmers plan to spend several weeks lobbying Congress for legislation to increase their prices. Their reception may depend on how many congressmen for legislation to increase their prices. Their reception may depend on how many congressmen get caught up in the four-hour traffic jams the farmers' tractors created. President Carter said Monday that agriculture is generally prosperous, but that more must be done to ensure that all farmers share that prosperity. "1 don't know of any group that's suffered more from the effects of inflation than farmers," Carter said. Alfred Kahn, who heads Carter's anti-inflation program, said he does not think farmers suffer most. He said the massed tractors "do not bode well for food prices." That is the bottom line for most of the people who found the road to work blocked by tractors. They do not set farm prices, they just pay for food. Reagan readies new campaign LOS ANGELES (AP)—Supporters of former Gov. Ronald Reagan will announce formation of an official presidential campaign organization March 1, although Reagan is not expected to officially toss his hat into the ring until later, the Los Angeles Times reported today. It would be Reagan's third attempt to capture the Republican presidential nomination. The newspaper said Reagan has delayed his official declaration because he is earning $300,000 annually from radio broadcasts, newspaper columns and paid speeches, and once he became a candidate most of the income would be cut off. Formation of the group would allow the 68-year-old Reagan to begin collecting campaign funds to qualify for matching federal funds beginning next January. the world at a glance The World at a Glance is compiled from the wires of Associated Press. Edited by Al Lagano official says major points remain unsettled with the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The aide, John Williams Jr., attended a meeting Tuesday with HEW officials and five black university chancellors from the 16-campus UNC system. NEWTON GROVE—A Jacksonville prosecutor says he's asked the SBl (State Bureau of Investigation) to investigate a fatal accident that involved a state trooper. District Attorney William Andrews says he doesn't think Trooper Carlton C. Albrirton was at fault when his patrol car struck a car and killed two teen-aged occupants. But he says an impartial investigation is better for everyone concerned. ITALY—The Italian Parliament yesterday called for an urgent debate on charges that two of its members engineered the kidnap-assassination of former premier Aldo Moro. Moro was killed last spring by ultra-left Red Brigade urban guerrillas. The allegations were made in the Magazine L'Espress...but the magazine didn't name anyone. The magazine said it learned of a tape recording of an alleged Red Brigade member giving information last summer to two politicians from Moro's Christian Democratic Party. TEHRAN—Turmoil and uncertainty continue to haunt Iran. Iranian newspapers report that supporters of opposition leader Ayatollah Khomeini (Ay-yah'-toh-lay Koh-May-Nee) have taken control of three major cities and scores of smaller towns and villages. Thousands of Khomeini supporters marched throughout Iran today—many calling for the death of Iranian Premier Bakhtiar (Bank'-tee-ahr). To counter those demonstrations, Bakhtiar's supporters demonstrated in Tehran. Bakhtiar has said he will take his embattled government's case to the nation tomorrow in a news conference. But at the same time, Khomeini supporters have called for a massive demonstration possibly involving one-million people. The situation becomes more threatening each day and today another 400 Americans left. That leaves less than five-thousand Americans in the country. A few months ago there were more than 41-thousand Americans in Iran. ALDERSON, W.VA.—Sara Jane Moore, the would-be presidential assassin who staged an abortive prison escape with a fellow inmate, says she had planned to get rid of her accomplice, even if she had to kill her. "It was my intent that when I had used the knowledge that she had to abandon her, if that were feasible, and to kill her, if it was not...," Ms. Moore said in a prison interview with CBS News correspondent Barry Serafin Tuesday. PLYMOUTH, MASS.—The parents of leukemia victim WASHINGTON—It's official, the United States has invited Egypt and Israel to ministerial-level talks at Camp David later this month. State Department spokesman Hodding Carter confirms two letters of invitation were sent personally by President Carter to the governments of Egypt and Israel. But he declines to say specifically when and where the new round of peace talks would take place. Informed sources, however, says the talks are scheduled to begin within two weeks at Camp David. Meanwhile... Just two hours after receiving the US invitation to attend peace negotiations Israel announced plans to establish a new town in the occupied west bank of Jordan. The state-run Israeli radio says the settlement's ministerial committee has approved plans for setting up the new town south of Jerusalem. MAINE—Who was first to discover America? It's an old argument. But now there are new details. One of the world's leading coin experts today said that a small penny found on Maine's coast was minted by a Norway Viking 400 years before Christopher Columbus ever left Spain. According to the chief curator of coin studies in Norway, the piece is a genuine Norse coin. The curator says the coin was minted somewhere in the Kingdom of Norway, exact location unknown, sometime between 1065 to 1080...which is the reign of King Olaf the Third. The Norway curator says the coin appears to be the oldest bonafide, dateable European artifact found within the United States. CAMP LEJEUNE—The Naval Investigative Service is continuing its investigation of the death of a marine whose body was found Monday afternoon in a wooded area at Camp Lejeune. Through dental records... The body has been identified as 19-year old Private Rickey Allen Rahn of Pottsdown, Pennsylvania. A marine spokesman says the body, clad in civilian clothing, had apparently been in the wooded area for some time. Rahn was last seen in the area of his company December 15. A marine jogging in the woods discovered the remains. TOKYO—China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-Ping yesterday said in Tokyo that world peace depends on whether a solution can be found for the current Vietnam-Cambodian situation. In his second day of a three-day visit with Tokyo's Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, Teng said the Indochina question isn't just a bilateral matter between China and Vietnam, it's a question which world peace hinges on. WASHINGTON—An aide to Governor James Hunt is optimistic that the North Carolina Universities desegregation hassle will be settled out of court. But a UNC Chad Green did not appear with their son in court today in compliance with an order to bring the 3-year-old back from Mexico where he was taken for Laetrile treatments two weeks ago. In Tijuana, Mexico, a spokesman for the Laetrile clinic said the family remained nearby and had scheduled an appointment with the doctor later in the day. The spokesman also said the youngster's condition remained unchanged. MIAMI—A jury of seven women and five men was seated Wednesday for the trial of nine Longshoremen's union figures and four shipping industry executives on charges of waterfront corruption. Federal prosecutors were expected to outline the government's case in opening statements later in the day. WASHINGTON—The Carter administration has stepped up efforts to head off mandatory fuel-saving measures with a White House order for government oil conservation, a plan to "jawbone" industry into cooperating and a drive to "beat the bushes" for additional energy supplies. An adminstration source who asked not to be named said Tuesday additional measures were being prepared for the president's consideration. VIRGINIA BEACH,—A 43-year-old mother of four has been ordered to serve six months of a five-year prison term for soliciting an undercover detective to kill her husband. The remainder of Elizabeth Ladoux's sentence was suspended on the condition of good behavior. WASHINGTON—Cold, unshaven and stiff from spending the night sleeping in cars or campers, farmers aimed their protest yesterday at Congress, where the secretary of agriculture planned to deliver an upbeat message about prosperity on America's farms. HOLLYWOOD—ABC, offering its regular fare, had eight of the week's 10 top-rated programs, despite losing first place to a CBS premiere movie, "Rocky." CBS had the only other top 10 show. No. 7 "60 Minutes." ABC's rating for the week was 21.3, followed by CBS at 21.1 and NBC a distant third at 17.6. The networks say ABC's rating means in an average prime-time minute during the week, 21.3 percent of the homes in the country were tuned to the No. 1 network. Here are the week's Top 10 programs: Sunday Movie "Rocky," with 27.5 million homes, CBS; "Laverne and Shirley," 25.9 million. "Happy Days," 25 million, "Three's Company," 23.4 million, "Mork and Mindy," 22.2 million, and "Charlie's Angels," 21.5 million, all ABC; "60 Minutes." 21.3 million, CBS; "Eight is Enough" and "Love Boat." Both 21.2 million, and "Makin' It." 20 million, all ABC.
