TYUBLINITE AUTHOR Frank O’Connor’s mother never •LP before had been off the soil of Ireland, but her son finally talked her into a vacation tour of Switzerland. There he took her by cogwheel railroad to the summit of one of the majestic Alps. “Have you ever seen a view like this, ma?” he exulted. “And breathe in this wonderful air.” Ma took a sniff as ordered, and finally admitted, “It’s lovely, son. And what a spot it would be for drying the laundry!” • • • A trusted old employee had been kept on by his firm years after his usefulness had ended, but when he began to be a serious nuisance to everybody around him, he was persuaded to “retire’’ on his eightieth birthday. At a farewell dinner, his associates pulled out all the stops to extol him, the chairman of the board (a frustrated thespian) actually breaking into tears as he ticked off the old man’s accomplishments and virtues. Hie old man was bowled over. “I had no idea I was so essential to the business,” he quavered when it was his turn to speak. “Under the circumstances, I cannot let you all down. I withdraw my resignation. I shall stay with you!” • • •

| Sports MEW YORK (UPI)—Nobody can accuse the National League All Stars of standing pat. Despite a record of five consecutive victories, the National League, perhaps fearful ,, of complacency, will present virtually a new cast of characters in the 39th All-Star baseball production July 9 at Houston’s Astrodome. Pete Rose, the versatile energizer of the Cincinnati Reds, tops the fresh new NL stars who have given the game its greatest face-lifting in history. Only one NL starter, veteran Henry Aaron of the Atlanta Braves, held a similar position a year ago, marking the first time in the 37-year annals of the game only one player has repeated as a " starter. Rose, a right fielder who received the highest number of votes for the team (236) and who was selected for the third time, was joined by two players competing for the first timecatcher Jerry Grote of the New -York Mets and shortstop Don Kessinger of the Chicago Cubs— and another making his second appearance, second baseman - Tommy Helms of the Reds. Santo Fourth Appearance Others selected for the third - time include first baseman Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants and Curt Flood of the St. Louis Cardinals. Ron Santo, the third baseman of the Cubs will be making his fourth All-Star appearance. For Aaron, it is the 14th _ consecutive year in which he -- has been so honored.

parade| last regular in the voting, barely edging another “old line” player, Willie Mays of the Giants, for the third and final outfield spot. Aaron drew 109 votes in the balloting among players, managers and coaches, only nine more than Mays and 11 more than Felipe Alou of the Braves and 127 shy of Rose’s total. The changeover from the 1967 team was so great that only two of last year’s starters, aside from Aaron, received considerable support in the voting. Catcher Joe Torre of the Braves drew 40 votes but still finished fourth behind Grote (113), Tom Haller of the Los Angeles Dodgers and rookie John Bench of the Reds, and shortstop Gene Alley of the Pirates received 72 votes, second best behind Kessinger’s 161. Staub Runnerup In addition to Haller and Alley, the others runner-up included Rusty Staub of the Houston Astros, who drew 100 votes at first base to 154 for McCovey; Julian Javier of the Cards, whose 26 votes at second were a distant second to Helms’ 182, and Tony Perez of the. Reds, the hero of the 1967 game, who received 60 votes for third behind Santo’s 218. Red Schoendienst of the Cards, who will manage the NL stars, will select the remainder of the 25-man squad, including the pitchers. He is under no obligation to select those who finished second in the voting although it is customary to do so. Each NL team must be represented by at least one player on the All-Star squad. Those teams not represented in the starting lineup are Houston, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. The NL will attempt to better its wO-17-1 record in the series at the Astrodome, which has been sold out for weeks. Approximately 57 million television viewers as well as 45,000 at the indoor stadium are expected to watch the game, which will begin at 8:15 pm EDT.

Johncock wins at Langhorne LANGHORNE, Pa. (UPI)Gordon Johncock of Hastings, Mich., who set a world one-mile record in the time trials, won the third annual 150-mile Langhorne Speedway race Sunday, beating Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Unser in an event turned into a two-car race by five accidents. The 31-year-old winner gained the lead in his turbo-offy for the third time on the 103rd lap and finished 12 seconds ahead of his only opponent left in the race. The winning time was one hour, 26 minutes 59.2 seconds for an average speed of 103.464 miles an hour. Four of the accidents were spectacular but they involved no serious injury. In the fifth, Bob Harkey was struck in the face by a nut off the wheel of Jim Molloy’s car on the 16th lap and was taken to Lower Bucks County Hospital with several cuts and abrasions and a possible slight concussion. Gary Bettenhausen and Mike Mosely, who finished third and fourth respectively, completed only 146 laps before going out with car trouble. Unser, who increased his United States Auto Club championship point lead to 2,340 to runnerup Lloyd Ruby’s 1,525, blamed a broken helmet strap for his inability to catch Johncock at the end. “The support strap on my helmet broke early and I couldn’t go any faster at the end. I couldn’t hold my head up,” he said. Unser drove the final 50 miles with his left hand, supporting his head with his right. Frazier wins By WILLIAM VERIGAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)—Joe Frazier, who completely convinced Manuel Ramos, stood ready to spread his version of the heavyweight title around the rest of the world today. And Ramos, left-hooked into belief in the chunky Philadelphian’s claim, packed his dreams in his suitcase for a return to Mexico, sadly admitting discretion sometimes is the better part of valor. The 24-year-old Frazier, recognized as champion only in five states, knocked down the previously unfloored Mexican twice and retained his piece of the title when Ramos quit at the end of the second round Monday night at Madison Square Garden. Tells Of Threat After the abbreviated bout, Ramos’ manager, Pancho Rosales, said he had received a telephone threat on the fighter’s life during training. But he indicated the threat had nothing to do with Ramos’ quitting. “The fighter still doesn’t know about the threat,” said Rosales. “I got a call at the camp and the caller asked for Ramos. He said, T’m going to shoot you and your fighter,’ He didn’t say anything about winning or losing.” Ramos was in the bout only briefly in the first round when he rocked Frazier with a straight right to the head and brought his band of 500 sombrero-wearing supporters to their feet. Frazier renewed the attack in the second round, landing flush left hooks until Ramos finally sagged to the canvas for the first time in his 29-bout career. He took the eight count from referee Arthur Mercante with his knees off the canvas. Frazier renweed his attack and with just seconds left in the round, he spilled Ramos halfway through the ropes. The challenger was regaining his feet as the bell tolled the end of the round. Shaken by the pounding and knowing that he was outclassed, Ramos raised both hands and nodded as Frazier stood in a neutral corner. He then walked across the ring and embraced his conqueror. The unbeaten Frazier boosted his winning streak to 21 bouts, including 19 kayoes.

Woman’s View By GAY PAULEY

NEW YORK (UPI)— Fashions for fall and winter come in many moods. One of them is the mood for the cape, which has horned into almost every collection of any note in the women’s ready-to-wear field. A smattering of New York’s pace-setting designers have always included capes in their collections, with the good hope that the classic covering would catch on. But this year, the cape literally and figuratively sweeps across the fashion scene. Capes come in lengths from fingertip to that maxi (about 11 inches from the floor) and on down to the floor when they get into evening clothes. Not New The cape is not new to Pauline Trigere. This French, born designer who has had her own firm on Seventh Avenue for nearly three decades always shows capes. Typical of hers for fall ’68 is a daytime cape-dress combination done in shades of green and

brown cable tweed. Miss Trigere’s firm is one of the more than 110 individual designers and manufacturers displaying their new wares for the nation’s designers and manufacturers displaying their new wares for the nation’s visiting fashion reporters. By the time the shows conclude Friday, the reporters will have seen all phases of women’s apparel, and some of the trends in the men’s wear field as well. John Moore, the Texas-born designer who made Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson’s inaugural ball gown, showed rain capes in water repellant velvet. Allpurpose capes came in combination with coats, capes in pink for instance topping green coats. In the collection of Chuck Howard, a designer branching out now to his own manufacturing, the opening number of the show was a wide yellow cape closed with black frog braiding. Donald Brooks produced the “Inverness” cape in giant plaid,

its fingertip length topping a straight coat which came to the knees, and in turn topping wide legged tweed trousers. Removable Hoods Jacques Tiffeau of Tiffeau & Busch coupled capes with pants, put removable hoods on the capes and in some cases cut the pants to above the knee lengths, about the same as Bermuda shorts. Bill Blass, designer for and partner in the Maurice Rentner firm, did big circular.cut capes in giant plaids. Among those featuring capes for formal wear was Adele Simpson, who showed a floor length number in sharp red wool, worn over a slinky, low cut black wool dress, the bodice outlined with jewelling. And the ultimate in capes was in the fur collections with mink or sable, usually cut with banding on the horizontal, forming floor length toppings.

By RALPH C. DEANS OTTAWA (UPO-From Newfoundland’s fishing villages in the east to British Columbia’s lumber camps in the west 10 million Canadian voters today were choosing a prime minister. . In Montreal Monday night 1,000 French Canadian separatists rioted during the annual St. Jean Baptiste Day parade, which Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau watched from a dais. The youths threw acid, bottles, rocks and bricks at police, overturned and burned police cars and set bonfires. Policemen waded into mobs of the rioters and clubbed them into submission. Authorities dispersed the mobs with tear gas. Through it all Trudeau refused to leave the dais, although a Royal Canadian Mounted policeman dived in front of him and was hit by two bottles meant for him. Policemen Burned Authorities said 123 persons were injured, including some acid-burned policemen, and 292 persons were jailed. Trudeau’s chief opponent was Robert Stanfield, 54, a solid

family man in contrast with Trudeau, a swinging bachelor of 48. Also In the running was T. K Douglas, who admitted himself that only a miracle could being his socialist New Democratic party to power. Actually the voters were deciding 264 seats in the House of Commons. The party that wins the most seats has the right to form a government. Trudeau’s Liberal party is the solid favorite. Today’s election was the sixth in 11 years and the first for about 800,000 Canadians who reached 21 since the last vote in 1965. The polls were open from 9 a.m., to 8 p.m. The last three elections produced minority governments. Millionaire Bachelor Trudeau, a millionaire who drives an $18,000 sports car and kissed many of the girls he frugged with during his lively campaign, took over leadership of the Liberal party April 20 from Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Trudeau immediately dissolved parliament and called for today’s election.
