Edna Hillis Poor informs me that she had a recent letter from her cousin, Meredith Reeves Lament who resides in Glasgow, Scotland. Meredith writes that gasoline or petrol is $1.86 a gallon over there. And she also writes that Gas — Continued from page 1 been with the Company for at least ten years and 36 percent for 20 years or more.

Brezhnev’s visit encouraging

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say the postponement of Leonid I. Brezhnev’s visit to Cairo is “mildly encouraging” for the possible success of Henry A. Kissinger’s step-by-step approach to a Middle East settlement. Moreover, these officials say the postponement serves to ease Soviet pressures on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to swing away from the American strategy being pressed by Secretary of State Kissinger. “It gives us a little more time," said one of the officials interviewed after the sudden postponement of Brezhnev’s planned trip. The Soviet leader had been scheduled to visit Cairo in January'. No new date was set for any future visit.

All agreed that Kissinger is working for a Middle East settlement against a deadline of next spring when the lease for U.N. buffer forces in the Sinai and the Golan Heights expires and when fighting could be resumed unless there is substantial diplomatic progress. In the interim, Kissinger hopes to bring Israel and Egypt within negotiating range of each other. Proposals brought here earlier this month by Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon are currently the subject of an intensive diplomatic exchange. Allon’s plans to return on Jan. 10 have not been changed by the Brezhnev development. Kissinger is due back Thursday from

his vacation in Puerto Rico. In his absence, the State Department is willing publicly only to reiterate confidence in a step-by-step approach. Spokesman Paul Hare was instructed to brush aside questions with “No comment.” However, top U.S. officials privately suggest Brezhnev called his visit off when he became convinced that Sadat would not commit Egypt to an immediate resumption of the Geneva Peace Conference in exchange for new Soviet arms. Sadat is understood to have made it clear that he favors further exploration through Kissinger of prospects for an interim deal with Israel. Geneva negotiations would come later.

Boeing rolls out 250th 747 The 250th Boeing 747 was recently rolled out of the company's 747 Division factory at Everett, Washington. Since the first model was rolled out on September 30, 1968, the superjets in service have carried 74 million passengers and flown 2.5 million hours. Orders for the 747 total 280 airplanes from 38 airlines. Two 747s are produced each month at the company's Everett plant. Captives describe guerrillas as cool, calm

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — One of their captives described the Nicaraguan guerrillas who freed 13 hostages after a 2* 2-day siege and flew to Cuba with about $500,000 and 14 comrades as “cool, calm

professionals.”

‘■They were all very young,” said Laszlo Pataky, 57. “I would say most were much younger than 25 but they were not nervous. One of the girls said they would fight to the death if they didn’t succeed.” Three women were among the eight members of the Sandinista Liberation Front who invaded a suburban home during a cocktail party Friday night, killed the host and two police guards and took the other 33 persons in the house captive. The terrorists released 20 women, children, servants and musicians on Saturday and

million and safe passage to Cuba for themselves and Sandinistas in jail in exchange for the 13 other hostages, who included Nicaragua’s foreign minister and its ambassadors to the United States and the United Nations. The guerrillas freed their remaining hostages Monday afternoon and were flown to Havana along with 14 other Sandinistas who were released from prison. They were accompanied by the Spanish and Mexican ambassadors to Nicaragua, the papal nuncio and Archbishop Miguel Obando y Bravo, the go-between in the negotiations between the government and the terrorists. Instead of the $5 million they demanded, they got “less than half a million dollars,” President Anastasio Somoza told newsmen as the Nicaraguan

Sunday. They demanded $5 airliner returned from Havana

with the two ambassadors and the two prelates. The Mexican ambassador said Cuban militiamen took the guerrillas off the plane. “They treated us very well,” reported Foreign Minister Alejandro Montiel Arguello. “The only bother is that I haven’t bathed in three days; I haven’t shaved in three days; I haven’t changed clothes in three days, and I stink. My back hurts because I had to sleep on the floor. I just want to go to sleep in my own bed.” The Sandinista Liberation Front is named for guerrilla leader Augusto Sandino, who fought the American occupation of Nicaragua from 1927 to 1933" and was assassinated in 1934 on orders of Gen. Anastasio Somoza, the founder of the ruling dynasty and the father of the current president.

WASHINGTON I AP) - In a farewell statement before his retirement, Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. says fear is America’s great enemy, a corrosive and destructive force that can be overcome by truth and faith and courage. Here, in his last newsletter to North Carolina constituents, the former chairman of the Senate Watergate committee sets forth a personal philosophy: “The canny Scotsman, Thomas Carlyle, made a profound observation when he said, ‘Man lives by believing in something: not by debating and arguing many things.’ “Faith and courage constitute two of our most basic needs.... “Faith, which is the evidence of things not seen, proves to men and women the reality of the positive beliefs by which we live and for which we are willing to die. “Faith is not a storm cellar to which men and women can flee for refuge from the storms of life. It is, instead, an inner force which gives them the strength to face those storms and their consequences with serenity of spirit. In times of

greatest stress, faith has the miraculous power to lift ordinary men and women to greatness. “Faith is exhibited at its best in the lives of those men and women who trust the promises of God.... “Fear has been the devastating enemy of mankind in all generations. “People are probably more fearful today than they were at any time in the past. They are assailed on all side by the old fears such as fear of economic insecurity, fear of unemployment, fear of loss of stature, fear of sickness, and fear of death. But if we are to overcome the fears which beset us, we must have courage. . “Courage often comes through the realization that the alternative to the impending danger is more dreadful than the danger itself .... “Finally, courage results from having faith in ourselves, faith in the righteousness of our cause, and faith in the promises of God. “If we will seek truth, keep faith, and have courage, I have no doubt that this nation can overcome all challenges from within and without.”

Steel company says 1975 will be growth year

David L. Rice headed the group of administrative, faculty and student representatives meeting with the trustees. Changes approved in the Terre Haute campus student administrative services area included naming of Dr. William R. Osmon, dean of student administrative services who has been serving as acting registrar, as dean of student administrative services and registrar.

In other changes of status approved, Dr. Jerry L. Hile, director of University-High School Relations, was named director of Admissions and University-High School Relations, and Anna R. Carson, research associate, Student Research and Testing, was appointed assistant director of Student Research and Testing. These appointments are also effective Jan. 1. In another staff change of status, Dr. Thomas H. Ollendick, assistant professor of psychology, was given the additional title of acting director of clinical programs. The HEW Public Health Service research grant will support costs of conducting a research project entitled “Metabolic and Immunophysiologic Studies on Trypanosomo,’’ under the direction of Dr. Donald G. Dusanic, ISU professor of life sciences. The grant period is from Dec. 1,1974, through Nov. 30, 1975.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - Bethlehem Steel Corp. says that despite an uncertain outlook and weakness in some sectors of the nation's economy, 1975 will be another year of growth for the steel industry. Chairman I^wis W. Foy concluded in a year-end report Monday that the demand for steel during the next year should remain strong in the capital goods and energy-re-lated markets. “For the long run, we are optimistic about the steel industry’s prospects and about

the basic strength of the nation’s economy,” Foy said. “And we are backing up this optimistic Outlook with plans to spend substantial sums of money to improve and expand our facilities,” Foy added, estimating that Bethlehem will spend about $600 million a year on plants and equipment during the next several years. Foy called for government encouragement of savings and investment programs and he pointed out that Bethlehem needed adequate profits to finance increased production.

Infants represent breakthrough for working mothers

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - An occasional whimper is heard these days in the offices of state Sens. Fred Risser and Carl Thompson, but not because either is taking a political

beating. In each case, it is merely an infant girl’s way of letting it be known that her diaper needs changing or that she wants to be nursed.

Kirsten Tambo, 34 months, sleeps most of the day in a crib only five feet from Risser’s desk, while Leah Beyer, 5 weeks, spends her time in a crib next to Thompson’s desk.

Both infants represent statehouse breakthroughs for working mothers, says Risser, a Madison Democrat who claims he was the first to allow a working mother to bring her babv along to the Capitol. Risser said Kirsten’s mother, Shirley Tambo, worked until the day before her baby was born Sept. 8, and he wanted her back even if it meant bringing the infant along. “Shirley’s a good secretary and I wanted to keep her,” Risser said of Ms. Tambo, who prefers the feminist designation. Louise Beyer, Leah’s mother, credits Risser for

creating an attitude that allowed her to keep working after her baby was born Nov. 18. Thompson, a Stoughton Democrat, urged Ms. Beyer, who also prefers that designation, to continue working in his office and care for Leah there. Being permitted to bring their babies to the Capitol each day allows both mothers to continue breast-feeding their infants Ms. Beyer took Leah to a committee meeting recently and a few eyebrows raised when she began nursing the child.

“Leah was hungry so I fed her,” Ms. Beyer, 26, said. “I don't think I’m particularly modest, and breast feeding is very important as far as I am concerned.”
